"What's your Christmas WISH?" ✨

🦋Encanto (Genderbend) x Wish🌟

#secretsanta gift for @just_firinnie 🎁 organized by @deenahdinarion 🥰

The theme I was going for for this holiday secret Santa illustration was "wish", and I instantly thought about Star from Disney's recent release "Wish". So I illustrated Star with Milagro (@just_firinnie's gender-bend Encanto character).

I tweaked a few parts of the design😅 I hope it's okay🥹

Disclaimer:

-The Encanto town in the background below was just edited, not illustrated by me. I found the image from google (it was a screenshot from the movie)

-The gender-bend design was made by @just_firinnie.

~More Holiday themed drawings on the way...Maybe~

Christmas Secret Santa Event

gn!reader x Floyd Leech

: ̗̀➛ Scenario: Most of Octavinelle decided to stay in the dorm at NRC this Christmas and helped out to make a feast for dinner.

ೃ⁀➷ Just 💜

ೃ⁀➷ Reader isn't Yuu

ೃ⁀➷ Semi-proofread, please ignore any mistakes!

TW: None

You and Floyd did Secret Santa a bit differently (aka Floyd rigged the results somehow, you have no idea how). You both knew that you'd gotten each other obviously, so now comes the shopping process.

It took you longer than you'd thought to pick out something for him since you weren't sure what he would like. Obviously your first thought was shoes since you knew he liked them and also played basketball, which is the gift you almost got him until a squishy shark plushie caught your eye, and you immediately bought it.

While everyone else was in the lounge exchanging gifts and preparing Christmas dinner, Floyd pulled you into an empty corridor. "Sharky~ what did you get me, what did you get me?" He asked excitedly.

You laughed, holding out a neatly wrapped square present with a nice bow on the top. "I almost got you something else, but I thought you'd like this more." You said as he waited impatiently, almost like a child.

You handed him the present, which he grabbed vry eagerly. He tore open the paper and removed your gift. Cue a few moments pause and he figured out what it was. He got so excited that he squeezed you much harder than he meant to. It took a minute to regain your breath. "Awwwww, I love it, Sharky~!!" He said, the relased you and handed you a slightly messily wrapped present. You only had a second before he was pleading with you to open it.

"Go on, go on, open it!" He said loudly with a wide grin on his face. You took the present carefully, not sure ehat to expect, though you eventually opened the present and were delighted by what you saw. The present contained what resembled a snowglobe, but the structure inside was of the Atlantica Memorial Museum and instead of snow inside, there were tiny glowing beads.

"Awwwwww, thank you, Floyd!" You said, hugging him tightly while trying to not drop the gift. He hugged you back with his signature drawling laugh. "C'mon, Sharky, let's go put these in my room so we can go get some food!" Floyd said, putting the shark plushie under one arm and grabbing your hand with his other. You really had no choice but to follow him.

When you entered his room, he was evidently still very happy because he jumped onto his bed and squeezed the poor plushie to the point where it was so flat that it took a few seconds for it to regain its form. You deposited your snowglobe(?) onto his desk and sat down with him for a moment on the bed.

"Floyd, weren't we going to get food?" You asked amusedly. He frowned, still holding onto the shark plushie. "I don't want to now. I want to snuggle you and Sharky 2.0." He said, then lunged forward to pull you into a hug.

You accepted the hug with a knowing smile as he'd done similar things in the past. "It's time for my Christmas snuggles now." Floyd said, pretty much wrapping his entire body around you. You laughed. "Alright, fine."

You stayed there for about ten minutes before there was knocking on the door. "Floyd? Y/N? Are you in there?" You heard Jade's voice from behind the door. Floyd jumped up and ran to the door with his new shark plushie in hand as you took a moment to sit up. You laughed as Floyd began rambling about Sharky 2.0 and how cute it was but not as cute as you and how squishable it was. At first, Jade was utterly bewildered, but he retained a semi-formal composure, though his smile was very genuine.

"I'm glad you like your gift from Y/N, Floyd, but aren't you hungry? Most of dinner is ready and I'd hate for you to miss out on the good food." Jade interrupted Floyd's rant. Floyd pouted, but after he grabbed your hand and all but yanked you out of the room, he was all smiles. You noticed that he still had the plushie in his other hand and you smiled.

All throughout the feast and the rest of the Secret Santa exchanges, Floyd stuck to your side like glue and would tell anyone who would listen about Sharky 2.0. He also declared to you the your gift was the best of the exchange (you had luckily pulled him into the empty kitchen before he'd said this to get more food). In the end, it was a very good exchange and you made this eel boy's day. Yeah, just so you know, he's going to take Sharky 2.0 with him everywhere and basically the whole school is going to know about it by the time Christmas break is over.

Floyd requested that you put the snowglobe on your desk so you'd always see it when you walk into your room, which you obliged and now that is its permanent spot. At night, the glowing beads gave off the illusion of fish swimming in water when light hit the globe. He gets visibly much happier when he comes in your room and sees it.

I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS, I HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR WHY I FINISHED THIS SO FAST!! Also thank you for the ask! 💙 I hoped you enjoyedddd and obviously everyone else who read this too. First request of the event is done, I'm so fucking good lol/j but seriously I love that your suggestion was a shark plushie because it is so cute to imagine. Can someone with better artistic skills than me draw this and tag me in it? Like 🙏 P.L.E.A.S.E. 🥹

「 Lil Author's Note: Tysm to Mari and Eli for allowing me to participate in this year's secret Santa! (@twstedsecretsanta!) 」

†•°•══════ஓ๑𓄿๑ஓ══════•°•†

“Ah- S-Sorry, Lilia-senpai, I can't- Eat- Your food-”

The mischievous little puppet grinned nervously, backing away from the sheer sight of whatever the hell Lilia had cooked up for ‘breakfast’.

One can't exactly blame her, either. Everyone, everyone, in Diasomnia may have their occasional disagreements and all, but…

They can all agree on one thing: Lilia's food is horrible.

No way am I eating that! UiO gulped, a drop of sweat falling down their face. (Can puppets even sweat?? Who knows!.... Jiyoon, please answer this for us-)

If Lilia even managed to make his food look ‘presentable’ to serve, UiO could've been convinced to scarf it down like a bag of sweets.

Alas, that isn't gonna happen anytime soon, is it? Sad, I know, but life's never fair for everyone!

UiO knows one thing for certain, though — Sebek will gobble up anything made by that uncharacteristically old nocturnal fae because that's just how gosh darn devoted he is to his superiors!

Which…. Is what Sebek's doing right now, funnily enough-

UiO had to hold back the look of disgust on her face as Sebek scarfed down Lilia's food. Based on his expression…

The look on Silver's face twisted. “He's gonna vomit all of that out..” he murmured. Quiet enough for almost no one to hear him, but loud and close enough for UiO to listen.

They laughed awkwardly, in tandem. “I've been spared…” A look of relief was painted on her face, letting out a breath.

Well, at least it isn't as bad as the spices Renren made. Perhaps that was the only good thing about Lilia's food, in the eyes of the (un)trustworthy puppet.

“Fufu, how wonderful that you adore it so much, Sebek!” Lilia exclaimed, clasping his hands together as he seemingly cartoonishly moved around Sebek. “I worked hard on making it, so it seems my efforts were well worth the wait!”

Was it? Asked the members of Diasomnia from within the back of their minds.

Not wanting to waste a second longer, UiO inconspicuously (yet not so inconspicuously) made a stride out of the dorm.

The day has only just begun, y'know! One can't waste another second in one place!

༝ㅤ･ㅤ˚ㅤ。ㅤ.ㅤ⋆ㅤ†　。 𓄿

“And then he just decides to kick me out of the botanical garden, just for ‘interrupting’ his gardening hours!”

Upon listening to his words, UiO shrugged. “Your problem, Renren, not mine!” she exclaimed, happily walking ahead of him and Jiyoon.

Jiyoon sighed. “I don't understand why you're so hung up on that,” she massaged the bridge of her nose, exasperated beyond belief. “It's not like he attacked you with a gardening hose.”

Miren narrowed his eyes. “He certainly threatened to,” he turned away from Jiyoon, grumbling.

“Oh, c'mon, Renren!” UiO grinned. “He isn't that bad! A little greedy? Sure, and selfish! But he wouldn't do that!”

Miren had several doubts about that, that's for sure.

He turned a corridor, humming. “This is my stop,” he told the two. “I'll see you two at lunch?”

Jiyoon responded with a nod. “You can be certain of that.”

Miren nodded back, walking off to his next class, and leaving Jiyoon and UiO to their own devices.

Speaking of which…

“Now then, UiO-” Jiyoon deadpanned shortly after realizing that the puppet had gone off. She let out an exasperated breath.

“Honestly….”

༝ㅤ･ㅤ˚ㅤ。ㅤ.ㅤ⋆ㅤ†　。 𓄿

UiO wandered around the halls of Night Raven, in a playful and almost oblivious-to-her-surroundings sort of manner.

The puppet almost always wore a grin on her face. It was both an amusing and an unsettling experience!

They were expressive, long story short.

She smiled to herself, taking note of every little detail that surrounded her. From the tiling of the floors, the wind that blew beneath her hair, the stone arches…

Everything about NRC fascinated UiO.

And everything about Twisted Wonderland fascinated her, as a whole.

To think, UiO's thoughts wandered about. In a similar fashion to the way she was wandering about the halls. A world like this..

Her expression turned neutral. So many questions, and barely any answers.

Anything is possible, she thought. I'm enough proof of that.

Twisted Wonderland fascinated UiO for a number of reasons. The landscapes, the experiences, the cryptic history behind it-

And seemingly most important of all, the people.

Rich or poor, tall or short, no matter what kind of person they were — the people that resided within this strange and unanswerable world only amplified UiO's fascination for it.

They loved it. Loved this world, its people, everything.

Sure, the overblots can get a little jarring… UiO can agree on that much. But… I've experienced worse.

She stopped in her tracks, hearing the sound of bickering. Bickering that would transition into an argument, she figured.

Turning her head, a smile of excitement on both her lips and in her eyes.

Her housewarden! (Dorm leader? Housewarden? Honestly, she's too lazy to figure out what the proper term is!)

Unsurprisingly, Malleus got himself into another argument with a certain Fae woman. One who couldn't stand him, and wanted to throttle him with every fiber of her being.

UiO always got a kick out of their interactions. They stood from a distance, watching them throw their verbal punches at each other, an unmatched intensity in their aura.

An aura that never truly fades, even as they parted ways.

UiO watched as his fingers lingered towards his ‘adversary’, an amusement falling down the puppet's face.

Smitten, he is. UiO believed. How their story ends, I'll probably never know. But even so….

That smile on her face never seemed to fade, even as she began her journey of walking away from the distant encounter before her.

Of course, Jiyoon eventually found her, and scolded her for wandering off on her own — her exasperation evident on her face, all the while she was well aware that she'd have to have grown used to this by now.

UiO was as unpredictable as she was wise. Untrustworthy, chaotic, and generally not someone you'd consider intelligent; but wise nonetheless.

The day seemed to end all too soon, as the puppet bid goodbye to her half-siblings a little before returning to Diasomnia.

It was just as chaotic in the dorm now as it was in the morning, which she wouldn't have had any other way.

“Is everything okay?” Asked Malleus, approaching the puppet.

UiO had to hold back the smile on her face, noticing the unfulfilled longing he still had. “Yup! Completely, and truthfully, fine, Malleus-san!”

Malleus let out the briefest of smiles, nodding. “I see,” he looked out to the rest of the members of his dormitory, that smile turning into a look most neutral.

“..... Do you ever wish that things never changed?”

UiO turned to him, slightly confused, but aware that she had to give him the courtesy of a response.

“Sometimes,” UiO cocked her head to the side. “But some things have to change, even if you don't want them to..”

That seemed to deepen the look in Malleus' eyes. That look of solemnity, of sadness.

One that UiO couldn't help but feel sympathy towards.

“Why do you ask?”

He turned his back, seemingly radio silent for the first couple of seconds before he started walking away — murmuring his response.

“Because that's how I wish it could be.”

…. I guess the life of a puppet only gets more interesting as time goes on. So fun, yet so terrifying, all at the exact same time.

「❆」 — Christmas Message!

Merry Christmas, UiO!! I hope you enjoyed this piece of writing I made for you! Your writing, ocs, and especially your art have been a big inspiration for me and I'm REALLY glad that I'm friends with someone as kind and caring and just plain AMAZING as you!!

You and the rest of Coconut have been a big help for me, especially with issues involving my personal life — and I can't be any more grateful than I already am to know that I have you and the others to lean on (albeit not physically) 😭❤️🫂

In truth, the reason I didn't do the first of your wishlist is because I was scared of getting Felicitas' characterization incorrectly ☠️ I'm really sorry that I wasn't able to do anything for her, and hopefully this little oneshot is enough to suffice for it 😭

As always, I hope you are doing well and you're happy and if you EVER need to let out your feelings, blow off some steam, etc: You can always go to me and the rest of Coconut. We're always gonna be here to have your back, and don't forget that!!

I love you very much, UiO, and thank you for being my friend <33 Have a Merry Christmas!

Sincerely, your Secret Santa

How The Cookie Crumples: Kalim x Yugure

Summary: Tis’ the Christmas season, and Kalim wants to bake cookies with you!! < 3

Hiiii @xopeach I was your secret santa for @twstedsecretsanta hope you enjoy this and I apologize for it not being on Christmas but you could also take this as a birthday gift too hehe

my masterlist!

It was the night before Christmas, all through the dorm. Not a creature was stirring, not even the magic carpet platform. 

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that the man in the red coat would soon would be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds.

All except one child that was in it’s bed,

Kalim, the dorm house head.

Kalim tossed and turned in his bed, his eyes fixated on the canopy above. He glanced at his clock. 2:49 AM. His eyes stayed fixated on that clock… He watched fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three as the numbers ticked by till it hit 3:01 AM. He couldn’t handle it anymore. He swung the covers over him and he flung himself out the door. Was he in his otter pyjamas? Maybe but he surely didn’t care. 

Kalim had the greatest idea. He couldn’t hold it in much longer. Astrew of streamers still left around the common area from a couple of hours prior, it was in his nature of course to party and he wouldn’t miss a great opportunity not to. He raced through the halls avoiding the mess lying around. He left the Scarabia dorm and he knew where he was heading. He sped through the chambers to make it to Pomefiore. 

This is where he slowed down his fast pace up till now. He didn’t wish to be caught to bother Jamil since he knew his furry was bound to fall upon him if he was to be caught by his fellow dorm leader. He stood in affront of two doors, but see, he didn’t remember which door led to the person he was searching for. Unlucky for him, one door was to the vice-housewarden’s room while the other was to the love of his life.

There were many times when he accidentally walked into Rook’s room and he would’ve thought he learnt better by now yet he was here standing in front questioning. He was sure if he opened Rook’s door Vil would be almost immediately notified of his presence and he would be swiftly kicked out so there were no second chances and that’s why-- 

“Kalim why are you here so late?” A sweet voice whispered to him. He whipped around but swift movements were taken as a light was suddenly on one of the doors and Kalim was quickly pushed inside the other room. 

“Wha— Yugure! So happy I found you, I had the greatest idea ever and I want you to help me.” He told her grinning. 

Yugure yawned in response as she motioned her hand onwards, “Oh right! We should make Christmas cookies!” He announces, and the girl only laughs. 

“The whole reason you came to see me and risked getting lectured by Jamil AND Vil was to make cookies?” She questioned. Kalim excitedly nodded.

Yugure opened her door slightly to see all the pitch black again. She grabbed Kalim's wrist and quickly walked through the halls of Pomefiore. The two didn’t say a word but both shared a smile.

Once they made it through the mirror Yugure spoke. “We’re baking in Scarabia though, I heard the fairies in the school’s cafeteria kitchen have been alerting when people have been up there late at night… Something about a mushroom incident a couple of weeks ago..?” 

“That’s fine, let's go!” Kalim snatched her wrist dragging her through the portal. He raced down the halls to the kitchen of Scarabia. “Okay, I’ve seen Jamil make these cookies all the time. It couldn’t be that hard right?” He asked as he pulled out a large bag of sugar. 

Yugure watched him intently as he pulled out the ingredients. “Yu… Do you know how to make cookies?” He asked sheepishly as he slowly realized his mistake. 

The girl shook her head, “No… I mean it couldn’t be *that* hard.” She nonchalantly told him. “However, I think we’re missing something Kalim,” Kalim tilted his head with a confused look on his face.

“Huh? Why? We’ve got everything, there’s sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, soy sauce, eggs, and cream soda!” He exclaimed happily. Peach first gave him a blank expression before laughing.

“You’re forgetting the flour and the chocolate chips!” She chuckled as she started scouring through the cupboards to look for the desired ingredients. 

Kalim slid behind her as he reached above for the chocolate chips and Yugure went for the flour. Yugure was quick to become flustered from the closeness of their bodies but she was quick to shake it off to focus her attention on the bigger and better things, cookies. The two placed their items beside the other disarray of ingredients there was. 

In short, it was utter chaos. The two experimented with many things however the two always seemed to fall short in the cookies the two of them desired. 

Till that is Yugure went digging in the cupboards when she discovered the best thing for the two of them at this moment, a recipe book. “Kalim, throw away the last batch… It was really salty, I don’t know why we thought putting in soy sauce was a good idea… It says here what we need so we won’t be up all night doing this.” Yugure said simply as she started putting together everything, Kalim excitedly came behind and started helping as well. 

While their final batch seemed to be amazing, most sadly had become burnt. Kalim and Yugure sat down as they both enjoyed a cookie which wasn’t burnt to a crisp as many others had. 

“Mhm… At least not everything wasn’t a waste, these are good!” Kalim exclaimed happily.

Yugure only laughed at their baking disaster. The two of them quickly cleaned up even though Jamil would probably figure out about their expedition from how the kitchen was cleaned.

The two tried, they really tried to ensure Jamil wouldn’t figure it out but it was hard to say it confidently as there were smears of butter, rapid chocolate chips and many other giveaway signs that this wasn’t the way Jamil left it the night prior. Not to mention the incident in Pomefiore Rook probably was still up when the two of them left the dorm and it was only a matter of time before the two of them would have to face the consequences of their own actions sadly.

Yugure was about to leave the dorm before Kalim invited her to stay the night in his dorm due to how big it was and how Rook or Vil was probably up and would catch her sneaking back into the dorm. It took a bit of convincing on Kalim’s part since Yugure was quick to get excited to take the chance to pull a prank to attempt to freak out Rook but Kalim was successful in keeping her in his dorm for night. 

Kalim opened the door to his enormous room, fit for the king of the Scalding Sands himself. He was quick to run over to his bed and jump upon it before he quickly motioned for Yugure to follow. 

She did so happily as she crawled into his bed as well. She was extremely flustered by this arrangement but she was far from refusing this. The two of them soon drifted off of their consciousness and into a deep slumber. It was to be known in the morning that Yugure would have a surprise with Kalim’s arms wrapping around her cuddling her.

---

Not to mention the angry Vil and Jamil lectures which were to come along with their rendezvous.

SO FAR, SO GREAT!

SONNY WITH A CHANCE (2009 - 2011) secret santa gift for @candy-pants

[bluesylveon2]

I Dreamed of You (TWST Secret Santa 2023)

This goes out to @rosietrace from your Secret Santa! I hope you like your gift! I combined some elements from your requests and used your OC, Victoria. I apologize if she is ooc btw. I looked at her profile and your writing to understand her. Also, thank you to @twstedsecretsanta for hosting this event :) Happy Holidays!!

Summary: Victoria helps Yuu with some errands only to find herself dreaming of Malleus Draconia

Note: ft. Victoria Shard (@rosietrace's OC), hint of Victoria x Malleus, fluff, banter, and humor

Warning: not beta read and possible ooc characters

Word Count: 2.2k

Masterlist: here

"Thank you for helping me out last minute, Victoria," Yuu said apologetically as the girls entered Ramshackle. "I usually ask Ace and Deuce to help me clean out the rooms, but they bailed out on me."

Victoria chuckled and elegantly waved her hand in the air. "Nonsense, Yuu. I am happy to lend you a hand." She followed Yuu into an abandoned room hidden deep in the dorm. The entire dorm was currently undergoing a makeover after Charons barged in. Luckily for Yuu, Vil had allowed her to return to the dorm to grab some last-minute things before her vacation at Pomefiore began. 

Victoria let out a whistle as Yuu entered the room. "Wow, Vil was not wrong. I thought he was lying when he complained about how dusty this place was."

Yuu grinned, having been used to hearing similar remarks from others. "I blame it on Crowley’s minimum wage salary, but Grim and I survived somehow. You should have seen how Vil was when he was here. If he was not rehearsing, he was coming up with a list of how to renovate this place."

"Pomefiore was quiet with him gone. It was nice to taste what it was like being a housewarden during it," Victoria muttered the last part.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, Yuu." Victoria smiled softly and approached a nearby box. "I wonder what is in here."

"Be careful. There might be some broken artifacts in there."

Victoria chuckled. "I know, Yuu. That is the last thing you need to worry about for me." Her fingers grazed something cool and hard. Victoria, interested in the item, carefully picked it up to examine. She blew out some of the dust to reveal the artifact. It was a long necklace with an oval-shaped gemstone at the pendant. The gem was held in silver with a rose engraved in it. Victoria was unsure about the gem's color as it was dust-covered. 

"Whatcha got there?" Yuu asked, stepping towards Victoria. Her eyes examined the pendant. "I have never seen before. It does not look like I've seen in my history book either."

"It's probably something from the previous inhabitant." Victoria shrugged. "You could probably sell it for some money if we can see what this gem is." She pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and cleaned the necklace. A bright light appeared the moment Victoria rubbed the cloth against the stone. 

"What's going on?" Yuu panicked, startled as she covered her eyes with her arm. 

"I don't know!" Victoria exclaimed. She dropped both her handkerchief and the necklace in the chaos. Just as the necklace hit the ground, a cloud of smoke appeared and enveloped Victoria's body. She felt her eyes grow heavy, and she began to lose control of her body. A piercing sound filled her ears and overpowered Yuu's concerned yelling. Victoria began to feel lightheaded as her vision became blurry. 

Before she knew it, everything became black.

---

Victoria was running through the forest.

It was a complete 180 from where she was a minute ago back in Ramshackle. Her purple and black gown flowed around her as she automatically navigated her way around. It felt familiar, yet Victoria had never been there before. 

The forest was dark but had a strong aura of magic within it. Victoria could see some steep cliffs and mountains in the distance. Despite that, the moonlight warm against Victoria's skin. The girl felt a smile form on her face. Her body felt free even though she could not stop to observe the scenery. 

A set of firefly-like lights appeared, causing Victoria to stop moving in the middle of a field.  

"Took you long enough," Victoria found herself automatically saying. Victoria’s eyes widened in shock. It was like she was trapped in her own body. 

The lights formed into a familiar figure, one she was not too pleased to see. "I had to give you a head start before I searched for you." Malleus grinned, and he pulled Victoria into his arms. 

WHAT? Victoria asked internally, but the close proximity gave her a better look at Malleus. Gone were the Diasomnia dorm uniforms, but a black and purple outfit with a cape and silver pieces of armor on it. A silver crown with a green gem in the center was on his head. His face looked more mature than what she was used to. Yet, his eyes looked the same, except he stared at her like she was the brightest star in the sky. 

"You don't have to give yourself a handicap. We could've arrived together."

"Really?" Malleus chuckled. He gazed into Victoria's eyes and pushed some of her dishevaled purple hair behind her ear. "I prefer me chasing you. It reminds me of our school days, where I would chase you across campus to get your attention."

Malleus? The prince of Briar Valley, chasing after her? Victoria thought. That annoying prince would consider that the last thing he would ever do. 

"This again? I've already lived and heard this story many times. It's your fault that the kids keep asking about it before they sleep."

"The kids like it because it helps them sleep peacefully at night," Malleus smirked. "It also gives me time to dedicate my nights to having you sc-" Victoria covered Malleus' mouth with her hand. 

"Don't think about finishing that sentence, Draconia." 

Malleus pressed his lips against Victoria's palm and gently pulled it away to speak. 

"I was going to say, screaming happily about the gargoyles. What was that phrase Lilia mentioned? ‘Get your mind out of the gutter.’ You should do that, my love." He smiled innocently. Victoria frowned. She made a mental note to punch Lilia the next time she saw him. Malleus laughed at her reaction. "Now, now, let's focus on our alone time. We cannot let any second go to waste."

Victoria rolled her eyes, and her frown disappeared slightly. What was she even doing here in the first place? "I know, Malleus. I don't want to come home to find Lilia throwing the kids off a tall tower to teach them how to fly."

KIDS?! Victoria yelled internally. Sure, her body is saying these words automatically, but she did not have kids, and with Malleus, of all people!

"He won't. Although Lilia did the same to me when I was younger…"

Victoria placed her hand on Malleus' mouth again. "You better not finish that sentence for my state of mind." She felt Malleus smile as he gently pulled her hand away again. 

"I won't. Instead, I will do this." Malleus snapped his fingers, and fireflies filled the field. The girl had to admit, but watching the fireflies light up the flowers around them felt magical. It almost looked like the stars had come down from the sky and around her. Victoria kneeled in the grass to look at the light and noticed Malleus looking at her fondly. 

"Victoria," Malleus' voice caused Victoria to stand up. He held a hand out to her. "Would you like to dance with me?"

No

"Yes," Victoria said, and she let herself get swept away in a slow dance by Malleus. The fireflies made way for them with each step or twirl they took. Victoria wanted to look away, but the soft glow illuminated Malleus' eyes like emeralds. The girl felt something in her chest she never felt before. 

I'm probably coming down with something. Victoria told herself. It's most likely from staring at Malleus longer than she needed to. 

Malleus hummed a tune for the two as they continued their dancing. Victoria had to admit that Malleus was a great dancer. She had heard stories about how good we were from students who attended the Noble Bell College event. 

She did not plan on admitting it out loud to him, though. 

Malleus stopped moving when the song ended. He picked up Victoria's left hand and placed a soft kiss near her ring. 

"Happy anniversary, my love."

To this day, Victoria has no idea what happened. Still, she only remembers Malleus's smile after he uttered those words and as the world faded away again.

There was chatter all around her, much more than there was before. Victoria could hear the worried tone in Yuu's voice and in the new person. Her head hurt too much to concentrate on the speaker. 

"Victoria?" a deep voice asked. Victoria felt something warm against her forehead. 

"I think I saw some movement! She must be waking up." Was that Yuu? That's right, Yuu was right by her before she got knocked out. The warmth went away. 

"Indeed, Child of Man. She is coming through." Victoria knew that voice from anywhere. Malleus Draconia. What was he doing there?

Victoria felt her head hurting like Tartarus. She groaned as she placed her hand on her forehead. 

"Where am I?" Victoria asked, opening her eyes. There was not only one face but two, and they both had concerned expressions. 

"You had fainted whenever we were cleaning out the storage room. You didn't wake up, so I called Tsunotaro for help," Yuu explained. Victoria looked at her with a confused expression. 

"You called Malleus? Why?"

Malleus spoke up this time. "The Child of Man said it looked like you were having a nightmare. I had used my magic to make it more pleasurable until you woke up."

Victoria frowned. Her view of pleasurable was not with a future with Malleus of all people. 

Yuu, noticing Victoria's frown, cleared her throat. "I notified Vil of your whereabouts, and he said you are free to stay here or go back to Pomefiore. I can prepare a guest room for you if you choose to stay here."

Victoria smiled at Yuu's offer and shook her head. "I think I will return to my room if that is alright with you."

"That's alright with me!" Yuu grinned as she turned to Malleus. "Malleus, can you walk Victoria back to Pomefiore?"

"Sure." "What?"

Victoria's usually poised face became flabbergasted as she turned to Malleus and then back at Yuu. "I could walk there by myself."

"I agree, but I don't want you to faint again. I would walk with you, but I must feed Grim his tuna. Luckily, Malleus is here, so I don't have to call Rook to come get you."

Victoria would prefer if Rook came by instead of Malleus, but the puppy dog eyes Yuu was making made it hard for Victoria to express her true thoughts. "Fine, I'll let Malleus bring me."

Yuu's grin grew wide. "Yay!" She jumped up and pulled Victoria to stand. "Make sure to text me once you make it back." Yuu pushed the girl towards Malleus, who caught her quickly. 

The walk back to Pomefiore was quiet and awkward. Luckily for Victoria, Malleus did not speak except for looking deep in thought and the obligatory "goodnight" once they reached her dorm. The halls were quiet as Victoria lay in her bed, her mind filled with the events from her dream. 

That's all it was: a dream. That does not mean it would come true.

Right?

Lilia entered the Diasomnia lounge with the intent of going into the kitchen. He was somewhat peckish and thought whipping up a late-night snack would help. No one should be up this late at night. The bat fae did not expect to see one of his sons sitting on the dorm's sofas looking deep in thought. 

"Malleus? Why are you still awake? You have class in the morning." Lilia said like a father would if he found his child stealing cookies from the cookie jar. 

Malleus looked at the clock on the wall, and his eyes widened. "It is? I did not realize how long I was sitting here."

Lilia raised an eyebrow and sat next to Malleus. "It seems like something is on your mind. You can let it out on me if you want to."

Malleus sighed and looked down at his lap before speaking. "Have you ever felt as if you were connected to someone? Like you were bonded to them?"

Now, it was time for Lilia to be the one in shock. "I can't say I have, but I read books about that phenomenon during my travels. There is a story similar to that where the Rose Princess met her prince in a dream."

"Interesting." Malleus hummed and turned to Lilia. "Earlier, I was in Ramshackle because the Child of Man said there was an emergency. Victoria from Pomefiore had fainted, and the Child of Man wanted me to use my magic to wake her up."

"Did your magic work?"

"I did not use any magic. I placed my hand on her forehead, and she woke up minutes later." Malleus confessed with a frown on his face. He looked away to think more about the cause, unaware of the smirk growing on Lilia's face. 

"Oh, Malleus," Lilia sighed and threw an arm around his son. "It seems like you need to learn more about what is happening. Luckily, I kept a few copies of those stories I mentioned in my dorm."

Malleus eyes sparkled. "I see," He stood up and dragged Lilia towards the dorms. "Then we cannot waste a second until we find an answer to my questions."

Lilia let himself get dragged away. All thoughts of the late-night snack were gone. His mind was interested in learning what was happening between his son and a girl.
