[ the perfect debutante series | or read on ao3 (coming soon) ]

Being sick was most definitely not on Yuu's list of things to do for the Debutante. But they were. Sick. It seemed that they had over-exhausted themself after shopping all day with Floyd.

They vaguely remembered Floyd's guilty expression as he brought tea to their bedside. They had told him not to worry, but he seemed to be in low spirits for the rest of the day, according to Azul's report.

And now, well...

Yuu was sneaking into the kitchen.

After being cooped up in the room for so long, they needed some alone time. Alone time that didn't entail Riddle watching their every move like a hawk, or Silver insisting on doing everything for them. Their maids were diligent to a fault really, and Yuu was starting to feel a bit suffocated.

What they weren't expecting was that there would be someone in the kitchen. They stood behind the door. There was a soft humming and the smell of something that had their mouth-watering. Yuu cracked the door open a little. Through the gap, they spotted a pair of fluffy ears.

Ah. So it was Ruggie in the kitchen. Yuu calmed down a bit. The chance that they would be severely scolded for escaping the room had decreased. Still, they knew that someone would check their room soon, and they would get caught, so...

"Master?"

Holy crap. Their soul felt like it almost left their body.

They looked up to see Ruggie tilting his head, "I thought I heard someone, but I didn't expect it to be you, Master."

They got up from their crouched position, "Hi, uh... What are you cooking?"

"A little something for myself," Ruggie suddenly smirked, folding his arms. "What are you doing out of your room, Master? Riddle and Azul are going to freak out if they figure out you're gone."

Yuu stared at Ruggie with what they hoped was a pitiful look, "Please, I need 30 minutes of peace before they coddle me to death again."

"It's because they're worried about you. We all are," Ruggie said, going back to stirring the pot. "But I'm no snitch, shishishi~ Have a seat." There was a stool a little away from the stove, and from this close, they could finally see what Ruggie was cooking. It was...soup. A hearty-looking, vegetable soup, that was currently appealing to them with its scent.

"Are you here for some tea? Or are you hungry?" Ruggie sprinkled some more spices into his soup. "I could make you some soup?"

"What about that soup?" They blurted out. Dammit, they were trying to resist, and yet...

"This soup? It isn't worthy of Master's palette," Ruggie said before putting a lid on the small pot. "Plus, are you sure you wanna eat that?"

"What is it then?" The soup had looked normal enough to them, though they couldn't be sure. Ruggie was famed for using unconventional ingredients in his cooking before. They had heard many stories from Jamil, who found his experimentation interesting enough to talk about. (The other maid rarely talked too extensively, so Yuu had noted it in their mind when he did.)

"Erm," Ruggie's ears twitched, and he looked...almost bashful. "I used dandelions. I saw a few in the gardens and they needed to be weeded out anyway."

"Dandelions?" They cracked a smile. "So you can even cook with flowers?"

"You're not...?" Ruggie shook his head, before leaning his head back into his hands. "It's something my Bi— my grandmother taught me. There are many uses for dandelions, and she used to cook it for us in a soup."

Yuu understood it now. It had been a while since Ruggie had taken a break to go home. He tended to bulldoze through leave days that they set up by taking up other jobs. They ended up having him be their designated maid when the others went on leave. Ruggie was pleased with the setup, especially after they doubled his pay.

Money wasn't a worry to them, given that they were the heir of the Dukedom. But it had once been, back before Duke Crowley had adopted them. So they understood Ruggie's determination, especially with how fiercely he loved his family.

"Why don't you eat some?" Yuu leaned their face into their palm. "You spent all that time cooking it after all."

Ruggie's expression turned complicated for a moment. He hesitantly grabbed a bowl, ladling in a spoonful. His ears drooped for a moment before straightening. Yuu couldn't help but find the subconscious action adorable. 

He finally sighed, sliding the bowl in front of them, "Here. Your puppy eyes really are unfair, Master."

"Puppy eyes?" They mumbled, but they couldn't focus on anything other than the soup that was in front of them. Ruggie pushed a spoon into their hands, and they couldn't help but immediately try it.

"Well?" Ruggie asked, ladling his own bowl. It was...amazing. The soup was salty, but rich, and all the vegetables were perfectly cooked— not too soft with a nice crunch.

And that was when Yuu abandoned two things: their etiquette training and their pride. It didn't matter that it was hot, they kept shoveling spoonfuls of soup into their mouth.

Ruggie laughed as he ate his own bowl, "Slow down there, Master. If the chefs see you they'll throw a tantrum because you're guzzling that down so fast."

"But," They sputtered, gesturing at their half finished bowl. "It's so good! I can't even tell which part the dandelion is!"

"The green leafy bits," Ruggie looked proud, if the way his grin kept growing was any indication. "I save the flowers to make tea with." The maid spun around, turning to a cupboard and grabbing what looked like a jar. In it were many dried dandelion buds. "Ah, I also have dandelion syrup," Ruggie gestured to another jar on the shelf. "Jamil taught me how to make them. They don't taste bad if I do say so myself, shishishi~"

Yuu couldn't help but laugh slightly. Ruggie's excitement about dandelion cuisine was very...adorable, if they wanted to put a word to it. "You seem very passionate about this," They said as they took the dandelion tea jar in their own hands. "Would it be okay if you put a few servings of this in my tea cabinet?"

"Huh?” Ruggie's ear flicked in surprise.

"Ah, I don't mean to take it away from you!" Yuu said, suddenly very aware that Ruggie was doing this because he was homesick. How stupid of them to ask for something so selfish. Did they forget everything after spending a few years in luxury? "I know that you're—"

"Forgive me for interrupting you, but it's not that," Grey eyes looked between the tea and their face. "It's... Thank you." There was something more behind the simple word of thanks. Yuu couldn't even begin to digest why Ruggie would say thank you at their selfish request, but seeing the smile on Ruggie's face reassured them that it wasn't anything negative.

That was when the door to the kitchen slid open, "Ruggie, would you happen to know where—"

Yuu looked up just in time to make eye contact with a surprised-looking Jade.

Oh. They were caught. Shit.

Jade smiled, ever the picture of politeness even as his aura turned more menacing, "How serendipitous. I was just looking for you, Master."  

"They were just about to leave, right Master?" Ruggie said with a devilish grin. Gone was the sweet expression that just graced his face seconds before, instead replaced by this mischievous look— because he was clearly ratting them out! Yuu just hung their head. They would be scolded less if they left with Jade right away.

Jade kept an iron grip on them with just his gaze as they gave Ruggie a long hard look, "You're going on vacation after the debutante is over. With everyone else. That is a promise."

"But Master—"

"No buts! I'll give you paid leave!" Yuu said as Jade opened the door. "Just make sure to tell your family how much you miss them!" They relished the surprised look on Ruggie's face for a moment before following Jade out into the hallway. Yuu wasn't about to give Ruggie time to retaliate this time.

"Now that you've had your fun, you should return to the room before Azul and Riddle return," Jade chuckled. "They aren't back yet, but I am not above telling them of your...mm, adventures, if it came to it. Even if it's you, Master."

Their previous excitement waned at the thought of being bound to the bed again, "Let's just go now." And that was how Yuu's adventures to the kitchen ended, with surprises, some new cuisine, and a promise.

— EMBARASSING THINGS THEY DID IN THE PAST : twisted wonderland

[synopsis] embarassing things they did when they were younger that now haunt them whenever they are trying to sleep

[characters] deuce, cater, trey (+chenya), leona, ruggie, jack, malleus

[extra] my last 3 posts are literally so unserious, so here's another one, for the funsies (ily guys)

★﹕DEUCE SPADE

When he was in elementary school, he would chat with his friends while waiting for his mom to come pick him up and take him home. That particular day, his mom was late, and 6-year-old Deuce freaked out. He was convinced that his mom didn't love him anymore, and that's why he wouldn't pick him up—that he was going to be homeless and would have to live on the streets in a cardboard box. He even started crying, which made his friends cry. They started saying goodbye to Deuce because how were they going to see him again if his mom wouldn't bring him to school?

Anyways, his mom came to pick him up 10 minutes later.

★﹕CATER DIAMOND

Back then when he actually tried to make friends whenever he moved schools, he had a huge crush on one of his classmates. One day, he overheard his crush talking about how they "would love to be with someone who loves nature as much as them". Cater wanted to impress his crush so badly that he made a Magicam post with him posing next to random trees and captioned it with "I love nature so much omg😍".

The photo is still out there on the internet because he forgot the password for the account, and the idea of someone from NRC finding the account terrifies him.

★﹕TREY CLOVER (+CHENYA)

Another one that takes place in elementary school. Trey and Chenya were walking around the city after classes when they spotted an electricity pylon. They thought it was the Eiffel Tower (the equivalent of it in Twisted Wonderland), and they got all excited about it, so they came back with Trey's parents so they could take a picture of them next to it.

Their parents bring up the topic from time to time just to laugh at their innocence back then.

★﹕LEONA KINGSCHOLAR

When he was a little kid, he had a nightmare where he was being chased. He was tossing around the bed, mumbling while sleeping. Falena was walking around the halls when he heard noises from Leona's room, and when he saw him clearly having a nightmare, he tried to wake him up. Leona got so startled that he screamed and kicked his older brother in the face.

Sometimes he remembers when he's about to fall asleep, and suddenly his sleepiness is gone from how much he cringed.

★﹕RUGGIE BUCCHI

He needed money, so he decided to work as a party mascot. It went well the first couple of times; it paid well, until he had to work at this particular kids party. The parents told Ruggie to walk down the stairs, greet the kid, wish him a happy birthday, and then just stand there to greet the children whenever they talked to him. Keep in mind that he couldn't see well in the mascot suit. So when Ruggie tried to walk down the stairs, he tripped and fell. The suit's head fell off, and there was just silence for around ten seconds, then the kids started crying. They thought their favorite character had just died right in front of them.

The birthday boy was inconsolable. Needless to say, Ruggie didn't get paid, and his party mascot careed ended that day.

★﹕JACK HOWL

It happened when his parents weren't home. His younger siblings were playing around with paint, and they asked him if they could paint his face. Jack said yes because it was harmless and would wash off, right? Wrong, it was permanent paint.

He had an important exam the next day, so he just showed up to school with his face looking like a kid painting that parents would display on the fridge door. Jack had to go to school like that for three days.

★﹕MALLEUS DRACONIA

Malleus has known Lilia for as long as he can remember; he basically raised him. One day, he had the genius idea to copy his hair. He waited for a moment when he was left unsupervised (in Lilia's defense, Malleus faked being asleep), grabbed some scissors, and cut his own bangs. It was awful; it looked like how you would think a little kid would cut their hair. He was so proud of himself until Lilia saw it. To little Malleus dismay, Lilia laughed his ass off, and whenever his laughter would stop, he would look at Malleus and start laughing again.

He got so upset he burned Lilia's bangs off.

[simplyreveries]

can i request ruggie and kalim with a s/o who’s like jessica rabbit? :3

hehe yes<3

ruggie bucchi

before you two got together, ruggie absolutely found himself feeling utterly helpless and nervous around you, believe it or not. though, he plays most of it off with his typical self, you made his mouth go dry sometimes or whenever he's trying to be his deceitful and clever he slips up and even makes a fool of himself at times. he hated it,,, you seemed to outsmart him all the time.

when you visit him during magishift practice or especially games, he finds himself trying so hard to be impressive in front of you. hence him doing his cool hanging-upside-down trick on the broom many times. even though you always adore anything from him, he feels such a sense of satisfaction whenever you have a look of admiration- as you're someone who isn't the easiest to please haha. after a longer and tense game when you come up and hug him tightly pressing a kiss to him - he is smitten and laughs out of nervousness.

he wants to make you happy,, even if that means doing extra work so he can't buy and get you something he thinks would suit your tastes. though you do tell him that's not what you want from him he still tries. it may not be as extravagant, but he loves how it when you kiss him all over. makes everything worth it.

kalim al-asim

he is an absolute loverboy, he is head over heels for you. he is the epitome of that "what do you see in that guy?" "he makes me laugh" scene. because he lives to make you smile and laugh whenever you're with him. he just follows you around and is literally content even being in your presence.

kalim does adore the concern you hold for him when you were dealing with overblots... but the poor guy can't fathom you being concerned for him, he was worried about you. completely tackled you in a hug when you came back from styx. sighing in relief, he still knew you were tough- keeping your cool as always.

he gets all giggly and blushes whenever you press kisses against his face. he won't even seem to notice the lipstick marks left on him. if someone were to point out a smudged one on the corner of his cheek, he'd be flustered a bit and blurt out "oh! thanks hehe" and rub it off. he doesn't seem to mind; he loves it in fact.

hihi i would love a ruggie centered fic with a hurt/comfort trope ^^

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗SYNOPSIS: Ruggie is eating dandelions again so Reader tries to make him eat something else.

♡︎ For you anon. *Gives you flowers*

♡︎Warning: Ruggie starving himself

You watched Ruggie from afar as he leaned down on the school field, feeling extremely curious about what was going on. You should have been minding your own business, but the curiosity was killing you. Then you saw him pluck a dandelion out of the ground. Did he like dandelions that much? You didn’t think of Ruggie as a flower guy.

Your eyes widened as you watched him eat it, jaw dropping to the floor. He proceeded to do it again and again and again. You were starting to lose it. What if those had been sprinkled with weed killer? Unable to stand there any longer, you approached him, watching his fluffy ears twitch as you came closer.

"Ruggie Bucchi, by the Seven! What are you doing?" If only you had heard yourself; you sounded like a worried mother for their kid.

"You want one?" There was no way he had the audacity to answer you like that. You were losing it as he laughed at his own words. It wasn’t even funny. Did he not have anything else to eat? Then it occurred to you that Ruggie had some complications related to money. You couldn’t remember the last time you saw him eat at the cafeteria. You didn’t want to say anything about it earlier, thinking he might have gotten food before you. Now it all made sense – he had been skipping lunches because he couldn’t afford them and came here to eat dandelions. You sighed, looking around your school bag and bringing out a sandwich you had prepared.

"Take this." You practically pushed the sandwich against his face as he looked up at you with an inquisitory look.

"I’m not in the mood to do any favors." He had to make it about that. Just because everyone in Night Raven College was egotistic didn’t mean you had to also be.

"I don’t want anything from you. I’m just worried, that’s all." You leaned down in front of him with the sandwich still in your hand. It didn’t seem enough for him to trust you, so you lowered the plastic-wrapped food and sat down on the grass field. "I’m not joking when I say that, Ruggie." You watched his Adam's apple bob up and down as he gulped with those words. He looked at you softly but still unsure if he should open up to you. He had been living likes this since he was a kid, eating scraps that he found around in the street, starving for days and days. Then he seemed puzzled when you started to unwrap the bread, breaking it in two pieces with your hands and handing one of them to him.

"What if we share it?" He had been so close to passing out from that look you gave him while sharing your food. He knew you were also facing a tough financial situation, and yet, you still came to help him out when you could have kept it to yourself. Ruggie would have never done that. You were being so selfless, and he was glad because he loved this kind side of yours. He only wished you’d keep it to yourself, as he feared others would take advantage of you.

"Fine." He gave you a silly laugh as he took the half of the sandwich and started eating it. Not surprisingly, he finished it extremely fast as he had been completely starving.

"Next time, meet me at Ramshackles. I could totally make some donuts for the two of us." Couldn’t you have said anything else? Ruggie almost turned into a puddle as he heard your words. You just made him feel so weirdly loved. Not that he disliked it, in fact, he wished every day was like this.

[married-to-google-translater]

Heyo!! Can I request ruggie w a male!reader who lived in same place as him/is equally as broke. I'd like to think they'll do jobs together n stuff

Ruggie Bucchi

Ruggie would love you because you would be optimistic and hardworking.

You always would have been.

This would give him strength in difficult times.

You and Ruggie knew each other since childhood.

You were neighbors.

Because of this, you saw each other a lot.

And you got along really well.

You always did everything together.

Like best friends.

You supported each other.

And you helped each other get money.

Ruggie also persuaded you to do pranks.

They were fun.

You always laughed a lot after them.

Ruggie would start to develop a crush on you…

But he would choose not to say anything.

He would be afraid that you would say no and then things would get weird.

This would continue for some time.

Until that special day.

The day you both would get a call for NRC.

It would indeed be a miracle.

Ruggie couldn't believe this.

He would be really happy now.

Especially if you end up in the same dorm.

That would be the day Ruggie confessed his feelings for you.

And he would be happy if you said yes.

[blues824]

Greetings, friend! Can I ask for 24 with Trey and 25 with Ruggie? (Both with male readers, if possible, please❤️)

You requested: New Year’s Countdown + NYE Party

I just did both prompts for both guys lol. Male reader

Trey Clover

You had accepted his invitation to stay at his family’s home in the Queendom of Roses, and the scent of flowers kind of punched you in the face in the best way possible. Trey carried your suitcase for you, even though you didn’t want him to because he had his own suitcase to carry. However, he warned you that your arms needed to be free to catch his siblings when they try to tackle you.

Laughing as you knocked on the door to the house, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to actually be tackled. Trey walked in with your suitcases before coming back out and picking his brother and sister up, hoisting them over his shoulders. They pounded against his back, trying to get him to let go, but he’s carried too many sacks of flour to be deterred so easily.

Meeting his parents for the first time was a bit awkward, as they had no idea that their son had a boyfriend. Then, there was his siblings, who saw how grossly in love you both were and asked when you were going to get married. Instead of being embarrassed, though, Trey just said that he was waiting until you both graduated, and that made you flustered as hell.

Anyway, your time here was mostly spent helping the bakery run. You often helped your beloved baker in the kitchen, fetching the ingredients and measuring cups that he needed. You would then help at the counter whenever a customer walked in to collect their party order. Now, his family’s bakery was a fairly well-known spot, so to see someone else behind the counter was unusual.

However, Trey would introduce you to each person as his boyfriend. If they were being honest, every single person thought that he would stay single for his entire life because he never showed interest in anyone. You laughed at their surprise, saying that you were very lucky to have a man like him.

Unfortunately, this job never stopped, so the Clover family just opted to celebrate New Year’s in the bakery. It was a small celebration, but it meant that it would be special. The younger children indulged themselves on the treats left over, and you, Trey, and his parents had a small glass of champagne to toast to the new year.

Then, the countdown began.

“10, 9, 8, 7…” Trey pulled you into him, grabbing your face with his hands.

“Y/N L/N, in the rather short time I have known you, you managed to throw my life upside down completely. I love you, and I know I say it rather often, but I hope you know I mean it, sweetheart. You have no idea how much I love you. I’m glad I’ve had the privilege of knowing you and loving you.” His words were enough to bring you to tears, and once the clock ran out, you pulled him into a rather passionate kiss.

“Get a room!” Trey’s younger brother shouted with his mouth stuffed full of a cupcake.

Ruggie Bucchi

The Sunset Savanna was very warm, even at this time of year. That being said, you were very happy to go because you did not want to stay in NRC. Crowley was an insufferable piece of shit, and Ruggie was less so and also your boyfriend. Plus, he wrote to his family about you and they very much wanted to meet the human who tamed their son.

Once you stepped foot onto the street he lived on, you realized that these people probably knew how to party. Everyone was pitching in on getting ready for a big New Year’s Party, any skills were accepted into preparation. You moved on to his grandmother’s house, and you could smell the food she was currently cooking. It made your mouth water.

You learned that his grandmother, while a bit strict, was really sweet. Once you showed interest in what she was making, she had you and her grandson helping her in the kitchen. She told you many stories of your boyfriend when he was just a young pup, which embarrassed him but made you laugh. You were totally going to use these stories as blackmail later, but that was another story on its own.

Anyway, at the party itself, you met many people from Ruggie’s childhood as you helped set up. His aunties and uncles (who were really just close family friends) all loved you, saying you were a good man for their little Ruggie. You relationship with one another was very heartwarming and cute to the others in the area, again with some little kids asking when you two are getting married. Is it so bad if you were daydreaming about it? 

Eventually, the preparation was ready. The food was laid out and everyone started sitting down at tables that were put out in the street. One of the residents was a retired DJ who kept up with recent trends in music, so you had a free DJ. It was definitely a very exciting party, especially as you got up to dance with your lovely hyena.

Then, the music slowed down. The couples got together and started dancing with one another. There were even a few children, their love only equating to a small crush, that were dancing together. Your arms went about his neck, playing with the ends of his hair on the back of his neck, making him melt as you both swayed side to side.

Over the mic, the DJ started counting down, and that’s when Ruggie stopped to speak his mind.

“Y/N, I know I haven’t been the kindest to you this year, but I hope you can accept a poor hyena’s apology. I love you, sweets, and I’m hoping you could be mine for the next year and the year after, all the way until you are absolutely sick of me. I am your hyena, I am your problem.”

“You could never be a problem to me, Rugs.” You pulled him into a rather passionate kiss once the clock ran out, earning a few whistles and cheers from those around you.

Pulling away, you whispered, “I love you, too,” against his lips.

Ruggie Bucchi x Fem!Reader Word Count: 1.1k+ Tags: Phone Sex/Established Relationship

Art is by llilililiiliii on Twitter!

Happy (early) birthday Ruggie babyyyy!~! Everyone needs to love and cherish him NOW. KISS HIM. NOOOOWWWWWW!!! Not this year for this fic haha. This is also just a one shot stand alone and has nothing to do with my Ruggie series so please enjoy!~!

SUMMARY:

You called Ruggie late at night on his birthday. You thought he was sleeping, he was actually wide awake.

You laid in bed, smiling to yourself as Ruggie finally answered the phone. “Hello?” His voice was groggy and breathless, most likely from sleep. You gently chirped out a sweet ‘happy birthday’ into the receiver in the darkness of your bedroom, looking up at your ceiling with a wide smile. “Is it already- It’s 1am?! You could’ve told me in the morning.” He groaned and you rolled your eyes. “It is morning. And this is payback for you shoving my face into Jack’s cake last year.” You scoffed jokingly with a hand gingerly rubbing the sleep from your eyes. Ruggie clicked his tongue on the other end in annoyance before starting to snicker. “Hey, hey, that was an accident. It’s not my fault you were so close to the cake. And the birthday boy already got his slice and chewed me out after.” His sly tone made your heart skip as you felt yourself starting to forgive him all over again.

“It ain’t good to hold grudges. When have I ever really wronged you? Some frosting in your hair ain’t that big of a crime is it?” He purred and you shook your head with a grin forming. “I guess not… But honestly, I wanted to be the first person to tell you happy birthday. Since, well, I don’t live in Savanaclaw. And usually it’s Leona who tells you first.” Since Ruggie was the royal alarm clock, Leona always had first place for his birthday wishes and gifts. Which you didn’t appreciate. 

“Well start livin’ here with me. I’ll make space and we can share a bed. It’s a little small but I’m skinny enough.” He suggested playfully, and part of you wondered if he was being serious. You smirked and glanced towards the window, watching the moon vanish behind the dark, cottony clouds. “So you’re inviting Grim too right?” There was silence on the other end and you struggled to hold back your giggle. “You know, couples do best with their own personal space… I see articles of married people sleeping in their own rooms doing better than those who do.” He changed the subject which made the both of you laugh. You leaned in closer to the phone with a soft smile, moving to sit up and lean against the headboard and pillows. “I’m sorry I woke you up.”

“I wasn’t sleeping.”

He wasn’t? But it was already so late. “Really? You sounded tired when you answered.” You raised a brow in confusion as Ruggie began to snicker with amusement. “I was jerkin’ it.” You felt your stomach flutter. “You know when you can’t sleep and you think to yourself; hm. I should jerk off and make myself tired.” He sounded so casual about it. You felt your face start to burn. “O-Oh! I see… Sorry for disturbing you…” You apologized with a sheepish voice as Ruggie hummed on the other end. 

“Who do you think I had on my mind?” The burning traveled from your face and up to the soft tips of your ears. “Wanna try it?” The birthday boy was making a request. One that left you rubbing your thighs together from arousal and curiosity. “It’ll be fun. S’just us. You just gotta stay on the phone with me.” He cooed into the receiver, and you shucked away your blankets. Maybe you could indulge the birthday boy a little. And Grim was asleep in a different room anyway. It wouldn’t hurt. Just this once.

“So what do I do?” You asked nervously while wriggling out of your pajama bottoms while Ruggie was shuffling around on the other end. “Touch yourself. We’re gonna jerk off together.” It was somewhat intimidating. Even though you couldn’t see Ruggie and he couldn’t see you; you could still hear each other. The soft slick sounds of him pumping his cock, moaning softly into the microphone as he did so encouraged you to join. Your hand slipped between your thighs and you toyed with your clit. Rubbing in delicate circles with soft whines passing your lips. “Don’t be so quiet.” Ruggie grumbled on the other end. “I can’t be too loud… The walls are thin and Grim is sleeping.” You whimpered quietly and Ruggie grumbled something inaudible before starting to snicker. “Oh yeah? You don’t have me on speaker do you?” He asked and you shook your head before giving him a soft no, a finger making its way down to slide inside of your hole. 

“Good. I’ll just be louder for the both of us.” His tone was teasing, and almost malicious.

Ruggie’s moans were much louder in your ear, you could feel your hole twitching in excitement as you pumped your finger faster. “Fuuck!~! You make me feel so good. I love thinking of you when I get off. Thinking of you fisting my cock. Riding me, squeezing me so tight with your hole.” He groaned into your ear leaving your heart racing and your face hot and flustered. “I love when you drool and gag on it too. Working so hard to take me all the way. Seeing your eyes get all wet and teary when you can’t breathe. You’re so nasty with it.” He snickered as you slipped another finger inside, pushing deep and curling your fingers against your soft bundle of nerves. Spongy and sensitive, forcing your walls to constrict tightly around your fingers. “I bet you wish I was there, huh? Am I right? You wish I was there fucking you instead?” You nodded silently grumbling out a weak ‘mmhmm’ in response as the coil in your stomach tightened and twisted. Threatening to snap at any given moment. 

“I wish I was there too. Fucking you as much as I wanted. Filling you up with my cum- Fuck watching it leak out of you…” His voice hitched, trembling on the other side as he started to sound strangled. “FFuck mm’ cumming…” He growled into your ear as you let out a weak sob, feeling your body convulse as your juices flooded out of you. The state of euphoria was dizzying as you fell limp against the mattress, your hole squeezing and sucking your fingers deep inside you as Ruggie sighed into your ear with bliss. The two of you panted together, laying in the darkness. “See… Felt good… Right?” Ruggie huffed and you nodded against the phone. “Yeah… But I do wish you were here…” You grumbled with a sense of disappointment, listening to Ruggie snicker weakly. “Well… We got the whole day to see each other. It’s still my birthday for the next twenty-somethin’ hours.”

♡ flowers of our love— [ savanaclaw + octavinelle ]

: different flowers and their meanings that describe your relationships :

♡— contains: gn! reader, fluff, biting on floyd's part

: heartslabyul. savanaclaw + octavinelle. scarabia + pomefiore. ignihyde + diasomnia :

— [ note: this and this for meaning references ^^ the urge to just put mushrooms for jade was strong but i found a plant that wasn't a mushroom and to make it perfectly clear i love floyd like omg best guy ever loml ]

—leona kingscholar

strong bonds of love and levity — larkspur: when you're dealing with stressful events, he tries to joke about it in hopes of lowering your stress. playing with your fingers while he's drifting to dreamland. the way his eyes soften ever so slightly when he sees it's you who woke him up. giving advice that helps you through day-to-day scenarios. sharing stories of when you were younger, the good and the bad. leona often drags you to nap with him in the warmth of the botanical garden, away from other eyes. he makes intense eye contact with those piercing green eyes while a shit-eating grin adorns his face. lazy kisses to your forehead after he wakes up. always reminding him you love him, and though he rolls his eyes he never forgets.

—ruggie bucchi

pure love and wishes — dandelion: gifting you handmade presents whenever he feels like it. the way his heart flutters when you offer do do some of his chores. sharing hopes and dreams together under the starry night sky. stealing kisses from each other became the most frequent game between the two of you. ruggie loves it when you play with his hair. he brushes off compliments but he keeps them close to his heart when they're from you. cooking family recipes together in the kitchen. the way he delicately places a flower crown atop your head. subtly trying to take your things only for you to scold him softly. volunteering to help the kids where he lives and ruggie can't help but admire how you make the other children smile.

—jack howl

loyal love and i'll never tell — daisy: always being by your side when you need him. the way jack laughs when you tell him something funny. being the person to confide in when the other needs someone to talk to. teasing jack about his tail wagging despite him saying it isn't. jack is more independent so he rarely asks for help, though he never has a problem if you want to help him with something. warm hugs that make you want to melt into jack's hold. the embarrassed look he wears when he tells you something romantic. preferring to say your actual name rather than a name of endearment because there's something intimate about saying your name.

—azul ashengrotto

arden love — balsam: azul can never seem to find the right words to say and ends up a flustered mess. having dates in the mostro lounge. jade and floyd teasing azul around you while azul's face turns pink. if he's talking too much a simple kiss should keep him quiet for a while. listening to him ramble about business even if the topic bores you. azul adores calling you dear and love that you may think he forgot your name. assisting you with homework but his help doesn't come for free. telling him that he's worth every ounce of your love and care when he starts to spiral. on days he doesn't see you, he always makes it a point to call you or even drops his plans to meet with you.

—jade leech

admiration and solitude — heather: sly remarks and comments that cause your heart to flutter. jade entertains every conversation with you and let’s you know he’s listening with a nod. walks through the botanical garden to show you what he recently grew. when you ask jade about his hobbies, his eyes widen, and you listen to him talk. helping out at the lounge on busy days. teasing you with his signature grin. if you manage to surprise him his ears turn light pink (firm believer that his ears turn red when embarrassed). holding hands while walking through the hallways to class together. creating terrariums together in jade's bedroom so you can take care of your own little ecosystem.

—floyd leech

you're adorable — white camellia: skipping class to find you because time spent without you is dull. he always steals you to bring you to the mostro lounge. floyd's grin and laugh when he catches you off guard. holding you tightly on bad days until he's 100% certain you're feeling better. biting your skin, not enough to break skin, is just another way he shows you he cares. gifting each other random things because they remind you of one another. him telling you you're cute while you're doing anything. floyd always picks up the phone when you call him, even on days when his mood is sour, and your voice brightens his day. affectionate pet names that your classmates do question. doing all the "cheesy-romantic human" things together.

【 shared breaths, beating hearts 】

prompt #7: They were hiding from the teachers/others and it’s very close quarters in here, he could feel their body against his (ft. ruggie bucchi, azul ashengrotto, rook hunt, jade leech)

gn! prefect (you/yours), drabbles, word count: 1.4k

a/n: hello. i’m back at it. bc i’m determined to finish these asap. also bc it’s nice to write something short n sweet in between the other longer stuff i’m currently writing. enjoy ^^

Ruggie Bucchi

"Ruggie, what—!"

"Shh!" Ruggie pressed a palm against your mouth, his heart thudding in his chest. He had finally lost the mob of angry students a few turns back, and you just happened to be the lone person in the hallway.

So what did he do? Well, he dragged you into the storage closet with him.

"If ya keep quiet, I'll tell you what's happening," Ruggie whispered into the space between you two. Thinking about it now, this storage closet was quite cramped...

"Those students were...a little mad that I got the last sandwich for Leona-san," Ruggie swallowed, trying to ignore the fact that you were practically pressed against him.

Your hand grabbed at his lapel, "You used Laugh With Me?"

"Shishishi~ You know me too well," Ruggie could see your glower and he pouted. "I didn't steal it. I just stopped them from getting to the sandwich before I did." You sighed, and Ruggie swallowed as he felt your breath hitting his neck.

That was the exact moment that you leaned forward, your head landing on his shoulder.

Ruggie felt his heartbeat against his throat when he spoke, "W-What...what are you–?"

"I'm leaning on you."

"Yes, but," Ruggie felt your arms snaking around his waist, making his fur stand on end. "No, I meant why?"

"If we're going to be stuck here, I want to be comfortable," You grumbled and Ruggie felt himself stiffen again as you hugged him tighter.

He...really brought this upon himself. So he can't technically be mad, per se, but it was still dangerous. He just hoped that you wouldn't be able to hear the way his heart was beating like crazy.

Ruggie rested his chin on your head. Well…this wasn’t that bad either. If he had the excuse to hug you like this, feeling your warmth seeping right into his bones, then he would definitely milk the moment for all it was worth. After all, there was no place in the world he would rather be than your arms.

Azul Ashengrotto

Azul was in trouble. And this time he didn’t have a convenient scapegoat to blame for his headache. Rather, he caused this problem all on his own. How else could he explain the fact that he was hiding underneath a grand piano with his…crush?

“Uh, Azul?” You whispered, and he stifled a gasp. It served as a reminder of how little space there was under here. For such a big piano, you would think that there would be more space. “Why are we hiding?"

“I…”

Why were they hiding? Long story short, Azul had been caught playing the piano by you. And then he heard the twins coming down the hallway. And then he panicked, pushing the tarp over the piano and dragging you under with him. The normal Azul wouldn’t have panicked. He would have put the piano away before the twins could see, and all would be well.

But there was nothing normal about how hard his heart was beating right now.

“The twins always tease me whenever they catch me playing,” It was an excuse that he was pulling out of his ass, but it was better than admitting ‘your presence startled me enough that I lost my cool’.

He fought not to flinch when your hand suddenly landed on top of his, “Oh, I’m sorry, I… I just wanted to say that you shouldn’t be ashamed, your playing was amazing.”

If he didn’t die from the mortification he would feel if the twins found him hiding underneath a piano with you, then he would certainly die from the sweetness of your words. Coupled with the fact that he could see the smile on your face, it was a lethal combination. He hated how weak he was to you.

“Huh. I never noticed how blue your eyes were,” You said, as if you just made a passing comment on the weather.

Oh Sevens, take him now. Azul would not last another five minutes with you.

Rook Hunt

Rook had hid in his fair share of bushes in his life. It was a given, especially when he was out hunting. Natural cover was the best cover, after all. Yet the usually comfortable position felt slightly…different right now.

Especially with the fact that you were under him. Pressed against the autumn leaves like this, you looked absolutely brilliant. He wished that he could capture this moment and keep it forever. And if he wasn’t trying to be quiet he would’ve told you all that and more.

“Rook, what’s— what’s happening?” Oh, you seemed afraid, your fingers digging into the fabric of his sleeve. He reached out, pressing gloved fingers against the furrow of your brow.

“Mon cher, do not fret,” Rook consoled. “C’est simplement. It is just a passing deer. Take a look to the side.” You turned your head, the hesitation melting into a look of wonder as you spotted the deer grazing not too far way from the two of you.

“Woah, that’s…that’s beautiful!” You exclaimed in hushed tones. His cheeks almost hurt from how much he was smiling around you.

“Hmm, c’est vraiment,” Rook murmured, his eyes all but pinned on the way the leaves seemed to cast shadows over your face in what he would say was a hypnotizing pattern. “Deer startle very easily, so we should keep quiet.”

You nodded eagerly, “I’m glad you asked me to take this walk with you.”

Rook almost wanted to echo your sentiment. He wasn’t one to shy away from expressing his absolute infatuation toward you, but it felt very different when you were just a mere few centimeters away from him. He could almost feel the redness like a thick second skin around his cheeks and neck.

“Let’s just…stay here for a while,” Rook said instead. “To watch the deer.” It was a baldfaced lie on his part, but if it meant that he could spend a few more moments here with you…a little white lie wouldn’t hurt.

Jade Leech

"Jade Leech."

"Ahem. Yes?"

"Could you please explain why I'm—"

"Shh," Jade leaned in a little closer, relishing in the way your shoulders jumped. Really, he didn't mean to orchestrate this situation. He was running away from one of Crewel's lectures about spore safety. (He had basically internalized Crewel’s monologue by now.)

But well, who was he to refuse the chance to tease you?

That was why he shifted closer, much closer than necessary as he continued, "If I don't come closer, Crewel will surely discover us."

"But why are we hiding in the first place," You hissed, grabbing at his wrist.

"I may have...accidentally grew some mushrooms in the flower bed he was saving for class—"

"Accidentally my ass," You grumbled, though you didn't try to push him away again. Instead, you stilled, and he could appreciate the way a cut of sunlight danced against your skin. He could practically see the flush overtake your face as he kept staring. He knew that you noticed.

Another idea popped into his head.

Jade opened his mouth, “If I may, what if you—“

“I swear to the Seven if you propose that I sit on your lap, I’ll—!” You fought for your words a bit. “I’ll actually bite you!”

“My,” Jade couldn’t help the surprised expression, a slow smile growing on his face at your provocative words. You never ceased to amuse him, with your expressions, your behaviors, and your words. He just wanted to see more and more of your reactions. Maybe that was why he was so very fond of you.

“I would never suggest something so…risque. And biting me?” He could see you gulp as he leaned that much closer, his forehead almost touching yours, “Are you prepared to face the consequences of suggesting such a thing?"

thank you for reading ! this is a part of my (very long overdue) 600 followers event ++ if you’d like to see more of my writing, check out my masterlist >:D

[dreamyautumns]

TWST G/T Headcanons go brrr

🍒Ace Trappola ~ The only human in this shvt. He’s wondering what the hell is happening with all the giants and tinies and is casually watching the world around him burn around. He’s constantly messing with Deuce (if he’s giant) trying to get him mad to the point he’ll will destroy half of Heartslabyul with a single punch. Ace LIVES to get this mfer in trouble and he can get away with it cause “he couldn’t possibly cause so much destruction anyways" since he's a regular human. Definitely the main catalyst for any giant related destruction.

🥚Deuce Spade ~ Giant 100%. He would be so clumsy. Half of Heartslabyul is destroyed before the end of the week every month (it’s Ace’s fault). He would be so sweet to Yuu but he’d grab them unintentionally roughly. He apologizes like crazy if he squashes something or is close to stepping on someone. Main objective? Protect his friends and stop anyone trying to hurt them.

💭Cater Diamond ~ Sizeshifting Cater. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk. But seriously, Cater just being super little one moment for the perfect camera shot while sitting on a flower. Next moment, he's towering over the dom, angling his phone to get a good picture while sitting on the roof. He'll just snatch tiny Trey and Riddle up and randomly take pictures with them. Super affectionate with Yuu as well. He'll just grab them in his hands and nuzzle them with the biggest smile over his face.

🍀Trey Clover ~ Hear me out on giant Trey. He's just baking in his kitchen and he looks down to see Yuu trying to sneak a lick off his mixing spoons and spatulas. He's gotta be sure that no one's accidentally getting baked into his pies and whatnot because that'd be SUPER bad. He typically carries people on his hat so they can spectate whatever he's making. He loves having Riddle in the kitchen and constantly messes with him, whether it be blowing flour in his face or booping his nose with a tiny scoop of strawberry jam.

🌹Riddle Rosehearts ~ He is actually so tiny coded it is INSANE. The tiny tyrant who sits upon Trey's hat and yells at his students. He'll know if you break a rule because he's quite literally listening from the walls. He could be in your room and you'd never even know he was there. He'll announce the opening of unbirthday parties by sitting atop his little dollhouse sized throne and using an itty bitty microphone Cater bought from the store.

🪨Jack Howl ~ Giant Jack + fluffy tail = pure happiness. He's just. So protective over Yuu and he's insanely sweet. If you give him a lil smooch he'll actually think you were the cutest thing on planet Earth.

🪵Ruggie Bucchi ~ Tiny hyena who "borrows" stuff from others (he's a lil sneak). He can get away with stuff too because of his size. He'll just casually sneak into your dorm room and take whatever little scraps he can find. Leona's had to go out and find him if he ever needs little favors from him but has almost accidentally stepped on him one too many times because of how good Ruggie is at hiding.

🦁Leona Kingscholar ~ Giant Leona is actually so perfect WHAT. He's just sleeping over his entire dorm, leaning his head against the terrain outside and flicking his tail, kicking up sand from the ground. Magishift training is even better since Leona can coach his players and all he'd have to do is stand up to be eye level with those flying on broomsticks.

⚡️Floyd Leech ~ I'd say giant Floyd, but lord KNOWS what kinda BS he'd pull. He'll just. Pluck Riddle out the window and tease him. If he's not in a good mood, he'll probably smash stuff and laugh when the "tiny minnows" get mad at him. Such a chaotic giant.

🪼Jade Leech ~ Tiny Jade is an absolute MUST. He'll just go inside his little terrariums and see his mushrooms from a better perspective. He'll easily be able to observe nature and it's just perfect for him.

🐙Azul Ashengrotto ~ Listen; Giant mermaid Azul, Tiny human Azul. I say this because in game, it's actually implied that Azul is a WHOLE lot bigger in his mermaid form than his human form. i'd believe it, given how big octopi IRL can become. Then you have a tiny Azul who's the boss of two giant eels. You violated your contract? Say goodbye and get squished at his command. Tiny restaurant owner and the grand mastermind of the contract scandal in Book 3. Everyone's just baffled that they were swindled by a tiny octopus.

⚱️Kalim Al-Asim ~ Giant Kalim. Clumsy giant good. Jamil has HAD IT with his BS and will advocate for replacing him as their Dorm Leader. Kalim's not trying to be bad, and he's actually so sweet. He'll just observe his dorm mates from the window's of the building's towers. He'll watch the others fly around on his magic carpet. He would pick Yuu up and hold them close to him as he lays down and points out all the stars in the sky. He'd be the perfect cuddle buddy; all you have to do is ask, and you're already sleeping in the crook of his neck as he sits down and holds you close.

🦂Jamil Viper ~ Sizeshifting Jamil W. Jamil who's tiny one moment, and giant the next. He'll get really big in order to handle certain tasks or to stop Kalim from doing something that could potentially hurt him. I just imagine him picking Kalim up from the back of his shirt and dangling him in midair while lecturing him.

🍎Epel Felmier ~ The infamous tiny who's been trying to escape Pomefiore. He's almost had a bunch of successful attempts, but Vil just picks him up by his collar and scolds him for trying to run off again. Epel's dorm escapes are gossiped about around the whole dorm. He's constantly being doted on by his fellow dorm mates (he absolutely hates it). He's challenged Vil to a fight and got flattened under his thumb (he's ok [I think] for now!).

🏹Rook Hunt ~ Giant Rook Hunt so true. He's so SNEAKY. It's crazy how someone his height is able to get around without so much as a booming footstep or a loud sigh. He's quietly observing all the student from clever hiding spots (though his hat gives him away sometimes). He'll carry Vil wherever he needs to go and is so polite, always watching where he walks.

🪞Vil Schoenheit ~ Giant Vil Giant Vil Giant Vil. I NEED him to push over billboards with Neige's face on them. He'll sit on the sides of buildings and pose for photo shoots. He's a giant with a rivalry for a tiny foe (his tiny foe has no idea a giant wants him gone). Makeup products for him are so big he has to store them in a warehouse separate from the school.

🎮Idia Shroud ~ Tiny Idia for sure. He hides amongst his anime figurines whenever Riddle comes banging on the door to drag him to the next Dorm Leader meeting. Tiny Idia making little inside jokes like "I just ate a whole chip today I'm stuffed" and the other person opposite the screen just thinks it's a joke (they don't know they're playing with a 5 inch-tall gamer).

🧿Ortho Shroud ~ Giant mecha Ortho VS itty bitty robot Ortho. Idia just controls Ortho from a cockpit in his room and goes around jumpscaring people (Ortho has to tell him to quit it or he'll grab him out his room and force him to socialize). Then there's tiny Ortho who just. Zooms around like a lil bug. His flying sounds like a mosquito but he's going around helping students whenever he can.

🐊Sebek Zigvolt ~ Human Sebek in a world of chaos much like Ace. He's trying to protect Malleus but Malleus is usually the one who ends up protecting HIM. Sebek making speeches about how powerful and big Malleus is and just getting absolutely spooked whenever one of his giant classmates comes tapping on the window.

⚔️Silver ~ Giant Silver SUPER BIG YES. Sleepy giant who just clocks out whenever he lays against something. Lilia's constantly flying around trying to get his attention and Silver just swats at him like a fly sometimes. He's finally big enough to tell Sebek to stop messing with him (he's accidentally squished Sebek with his head after falling asleep and tumbling over). Silver who is just so sweet and has tiny little birds nestling on his head.

🦇Lilia Vanrouge ~ A tiny, itty bitty terror. He flies around and scares the kids in the dorm and around campus and laughs. He's able to slip through fingers while flying so he can't be grabbed so easily. Lilia's also REALLY fast. He'll go speeding across the hall in a little green sparkle and hide behind Sebek whenever an angry student is chasing him. Peepaw that lives in a dollhouse and sits on the rocking chair, telling Silver stories at night whenever he's trying to sleep.

🐉Malleus Draconia ~ This is SO painfully obvious, but giant Malleus FTW. He just plucks Yuu out of Ramshackle and flies into the sky. He holds them close to him and rambles to them about his gargoyles and the stars. Malleus who causes the ground to shake whenever he moves or gets angry. His voice is so deep it carries across the ground and shakes the heavens. He's so imposing that no one dares go near him or the little human he's acquired. He adores Yuu and will take them with him wherever he goes. Giant Malleus who smashes the Bell Tower during Glorious Masquerade in a fit of rage against Rollo, for even TRYING to hurt his Child of Man. He's so strong he could probably lift Ramshackle dorm clean off the ground with his hand. He would probably even be able to grow his size even bigger so that he towers over NRC. He'd be unstoppable as a giant, but he'd always be so sweet to his human friend.

— HANAHAKI DISEASE : twisted wonderland

[synopsis] they find themselves getting this deathly illness. how do they deal with it?

[characters] deuce, ruggie, azul, rook

[content warnings] spoilers for book 6, mentions of throwing up, food, death and dead bodies

★DEUCE SPADE is scared, really scared.

It was predictable that he was going to catch feelings for you; there was just something in the way you looked at him that got his heart doing leaps in his chest, the way your laugh would make him get butterflies in his stomach. Wasn’t love supposed to be sweet, like in the movies?

Deuce tried really hard to keep it hidden. He excused himself to go to the bathroom frequently, ignoring the weird glances the three of you gave him. Even if he felt dizzy almost all the time, he never stopped hanging out with you, finding your presence comforting in some way, as if searching for some reassurance that you may reciprocate his feelings.

Then he started to throw up.

His heart felt like it was going to come out of his chest. It all started to feel real; blood was everywhere in the Heartslabyul bathroom. Deuce cleaned it up desperately before somebody could see it, scrubbing as fast as he could and flushing the flowers away. ‘It’s fine. Everything will be okay,’ he told himself.

Valentine’s Day was approaching, and Deuce wrote you a heartfelt letter confessing his feelings for you. His mom called him, asking if he would spend it with someone special, and he laughed it off, suddenly feeling hopeful and energized. He got his hopes up; he shouldn’t have. He really shouldn't have. Without knowing it, Ace had decided his fate by confessing to you first.

As he saw you both holding hands, Deuce knew he was too late. Flowers filled up his lungs, and their thorns suddenly made him feel a very sharp pain in his chest.

That night, he called his mom, crying and apologizing.

★ RUGGIE BUCCHI felt a chill go down his spine when he saw the first petals come out of his mouth.

He knew what was going to happen to him in the next few months, starting from that moment. Seeing dead corpses back home that had colorful flowers coming out of their mouths wasn't uncommon to him back when he was a kid, but he never imagined it would happen to him, not even in his wildest dreams.

He told himself that he didn’t need help, that he would adapt and this would pass, but it just got worse and worse. It reached a point where he would struggle to get up from his bed without feeling dizzy, but he just wouldn’t acknowledge it. If he did acknowledge it, reality would come crashing down on him. Time is money, and he can’t afford to be sick.

The more he continues to ignore it, the sicker he gets. His face is pale, he is thinner, his hands tremble, and most surprisingly, he lost his appetite. Eventually Leona can't ignore it anymore and asks him to go rest; ‘he can't have a living corpse working,’ he says, but that’s just his way of saying he’s worried.

Ruggie keeps a bucket next to his bed that he can use to throw up the flowers, he feels so drained to even move; the only thing he can do is stare at the ceiling. His eyes burn, he can’t breathe, and everything hurts. Jack comes to check up on him after finding out what's going on; Leona asks for food to be delivered to him regularly; and you keep texting him, asking where he is.

He's angry—at himself, at you, and at everyone—but he doesn't have the strength to even cry out of frustration. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, please make it stop. The flowers that were once used by him to make salads are now killing him slowly from the inside.

He can’t deny what’s happening to him anymore. Even if he didn’t want to ask for help, he decides to accept when Leona offers to pay for his surgery. His grandma is waiting for him back home, he can't break her heart.

★AZUL ASHENGROTTO doesn't want to die.

He can't die, he can’t die yet, don't mention the word ‘death’ to him. There are so many things he needs to do. What about his plans and his contracts? That’s his life’s work. You're telling him this is how he dies? That’s it? Azul can’t and won’t accept this.

He won’t cry; he won’t even shed a single tear. Instead of mourning what could have been, he will bury himself in his work. Azul will bite his lip out of anger and refuse to just lay there coughing ‘dumb’ flowers. He just keeps writing and writing paperwork, day and night. Wake up, eat, study, work, work, more work, sleep—that's his daily routine. Jade and Floyd are unusually quiet; Azul just keeps going on with his daily life. Nobody outside of the three of them could tell something was troubling him.

His throat burns, his chest aches from the pressure of the flowers inside him, and his head feels heavy, but there's nothing that some potions can't solve.

There’s resentment from Azul towards you; he can’t even look at you, and the twins won’t let you get close to him either. That feeling of closeness you ever had with the three of them is suddenly gone. Floyd doesn’t want to have anything to do with you, and Jade won’t explain why Azul doesn’t want you near him. The idea of actually losing Azul was scary, even if they wouldn't say it out loud.

So what if Azul was ever in love with you? So what if he still is? Love won’t stop him from achieving what he wants, even if it means forgetting about your existence. He will get that surgery, no matter what.

★ROOK HUNT is in awe when he sees the first petals come out of his mouth. 

He has always been on the hunt for beauty, and there's beauty in the way such delicate flowers get mixed with his own blood, in the way his body could make him have a painful, tragic, but fascinating death. It’s fate, isn’t it? He was meant to meet you, and you were meant to meet him. Everything has a reason; he got so infatuated with you that now he’s in this frightening but charming predicament.

He doesn’t let anyone know, not even Vil. It's not like somebody can tell anyway; a hunter never shows his weaknesses. His smile doesn't falter as he writes thousands of poems professing his love to you, poems he holds close to his chest and cherishes with all his heart. The smell of blood doesn't bother him, as he focuses on the sweet fragrance coming from the daffodils that comes out of his mouth.

Rook has decided that he will let the flowers consume him, laying on his deathbed like the beautiful princess that could rival the fairest queen’s beauty. If this is how he meets his end, then so be it; love can be bitter, hurtful, but alluring at the same time. Words won’t be left unsaid; he will tell you everything. If you don't love him back, then he will accept it and wither away. It will be too late when Vil and Epel find out either way.

Rook would have loved to see your beautiful face one last time before he died, but the last thing he sees is Vil asking him to stay awake and Epel yelling for help.

Just Let Me Help You

Summary: Work has been long and stressful for Ruggie this week, but he is too stubborn to ask for support so his s/o takes it upon themselves to find ways to help out a little and show him love.

WC: 1893 Tags: fluff, one shot, gn!reader, Ruggie Bucchi, established relationship, HE IS AN ADULT HERE WITH A REAL JOB AND A REAL LIFE, stressed out Ruggie, s/o hates doing dishes (lmao same), some curse words, not proof read in the slightest © please do not copy and or repost my work as your own, my brain is massive and these are my thoughts.

You were standing in the kitchen, organizing the mail from the past few days. Work had been long and stressful the past week for both you and Ruggie, so it wasn’t a task high on your priority list, but since you were able to leave work early today you figured now would be a good time. You heard the familiar rattling outside the door, Ruggie fumbling to put his key in the lock, his hands more than likely full of his belongings. You glanced at the door as it opened, his exhausted face breaking your heart.

“Rug, … you look exhausted,” you said quietly as he walked into the kitchen. He sat his keys and jacket on the table, pulling his wallet out of his pocket and tossing it on there as well. He sighed heavily as he walked over to you, wrapping his arms around you and putting his head on your shoulder. Ruggie worked hard, almost too hard sometimes. He did everything he could to make your lives easier, but somehow, in some way, something always would create a hiccup in paradise.

“I am very tired,” he pouted. “I just want to take a long, hot shower and go to sleep.” He squeezed you tighter as you wrapped your arms around his back and rested one of your hands on his head. “Come on, Rug, you know I won’t let you go to bed without dinner,” you laughed as you ran your fingers through the hair on the back of his head. The strands of hair seemingly danced in between your fingertips.

Ruggie groaned as he released his embrace around you and lifted his head off your shoulder. “I know, I know,” he said in a sullen tone. He walked back to the kitchen table and sat in the nearest chair, propping his head up with one of his arms on the table. “I want an off day, just one. I’m tired of working every damn day of the week and feeling like nothing changes.” You frowned behind him. Seeing him down was hard for you, he was always the one who tried to stay optimistic between you two, but the constant working and consistent hard days were weighing on him hard right now.

You placed your hands on his shoulder, trying to massage them for him, maybe that would help some. “Rug, what can I do to help?” you asked. He tilted his head back and looked up at you. “I don’t want you to have to do anything for me, I’ll be okay,” he said with a slight smile. You knew he was lying, he was just too stubborn to ask for help. You cocked your head to the side and gave him a look. “What? I swear I’m fine, I just need to take that shower and I will be all bright eyed and bushy tailed,” he said grinning. You gave a sarcastic “mhm”, letting him know you could see right through his act.

He got up from the chair and patted your head before giving your forehead a soft kiss. “I promise I will be fine, please don’t worry about me,” he said sweetly. He walked upstairs, leaving you alone in the kitchen. You know he wasn’t trying to hurt you by lying, but you hated knowing that he would rather lie and say he was fine than to ask for help. Even if it was just making his day a little easier, you wanted that for him. It would be one less thing for him to worry about.

You looked around the kitchen, deciding what you wanted to do. Cook or clean. Realistically, his showers didn’t last that long, but with how stressed he was, you knew they would be a little longer than normal. Cooking dinner and cleaning would take too much time. You decided that maybe ordering out for tonight would be a good idea. Ruggie was simple when it came to restaurants, he didn’t care much about fancy places and rarely complained about menu options and lack of variety. You knew that a nice, meaty dinner would make the beastman’s mouth water.

Quickly, you pulled out your phone, opening your UberEats app. Would Doordash be cheaper? It didn’t matter, what mattered was making sure the food was here before Ruggie was back downstairs. You wanted to surprise him when he came back into the kitchen. You placed the order, a steak and baked potato dinner for two. It said it “should” arrive within the next 30-40 minutes, maybe that would be enough time. You snuck upstairs, trying to be quiet as you walked in your bedroom. You rummaged through the drawers, looking for clothes to give him for after his shower. He wouldn’t have to search for anything to wear, it would just be there for him to grab. You pulled out some of his favorite lounge pieces, a simple tee and some joggers. You slowly opened the bathroom door, trying to make sure he didn’t hear or see you put them in the bathroom for him. You placed the clothes on the bathroom counter, grabbed his dirty clothes on the bathroom floor, and closed the door quietly. Ruggie didn’t say anything to you, so you assumed your sneakiness outwitted your boyfriend.

Back in the bedroom, you gathered all the dirty clothes you could find. You struggled to pull out your phone from your pocket and hold all the clothes at the same time. Checking the time, you had maybe another 15-20 minutes at best before he was fully out of the shower, dressed, and back downstairs. That was still enough time to do a few more things for him, just to show him that you know how stressed he is and you want to help in any way that you can. You went back downstairs, toting the dirty laundry in your arms and finally putting it in the washer. After adding the detergent, you turned the washer on.

Turning around, the stack of dirty dishes in the sink caught your attention. Doing the dishes was a chore you hate doing, something you and Ruggie agreed would be one of his chores since you two moved in together. You were going to suck it up and do these damn dishes tonight. There was no way you were going to let Ruggie stress more over a pile of dishes that you also helped create.

You rolled up your sleeves and started cleaning the dishes. The thing you hated most about doing the dishes was the leftover food residue that would touch your hands if the dishes weren’t rinsed off well enough. Something about floating bits of food in soapy water did not seem like a fun time to you. Ruggie was always on top of it when he would take your plates and utensils from the table. It was rare if he didn’t rinse the dishes, but with how long this week had been, most of the dishes hadn’t been rinsed. You can do this, it’s just dishes.

You sped through cleaning the dishes and putting them on the dish rack, wanting to be done with it the moment you started. As you dried your hands with the hand towel on the stove handle, you heard a light set of knocks on the door. Your food had arrived, and just on time you thought, as you heard movement coming from upstairs.You rushed putting the food containers on the table, getting you both something to drink, and lighting your favorite vanilla scented candle on the counter before wiping your brow. It didn’t hit you until then how much you had actually done in the short amount of time Ruggie had showered.

“What’s that smell?” you heard Ruggie ask as he came off the stairs and walked towards the kitchen. You looked at him, seeing him smiling widely at the table. “Well, you’re stubborn. So I did what I could to help,” you said teasingly. He laughed as he walked over to you and pulled you in for another hug. He smelt so fresh, and you could feel his skin was still slightly damp. A small droplet of water from his hair hit your cheek. “Ahh,” you almost shouted, wiping it off your face. “It’s just water, you aren’t going to melt, you goofball,” he snickered.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have done all these nice things for you then,” you pouted as you tried to get out of his embrace. “No, no, please. I’m only playing. What’s for dinner, tell me?” he asked, sitting down at the table as you took your own seat. “Welllll,” you started to say. “I figured you could use a nice, really yummy meal, so I ordered us steak and potatoes.” Ruggie opened his togo plate, his eyes lighting up at the food in front of him. You opened yours as well and started to eat.

“At least these are in togo plates, they won’t be added to that stack of dishes behind me,” Ruggie said as he turned to look at the sink. “Oh..,” he said looking back at you. “You… you did the dishes?” The question was his being both sarcastic but also impressed. “Hey, shut up, I was trying to help,” you said with a laugh. Ruggie smiled as he kept eating. “Your laundry is getting done, too,” you said motioning to the washer. Ruggie turned as he took a bite of his steak, his mouth half full in his response. “Ohh, so that’s why you came into the bathroom.I was wondering why you didn’t say anything,” he laughed. You hung your mouth open in shock, you thought for sure he hadn’t heard you. Maybe you were louder than you thought. “You heard me?! Why didn’t you say something, I thought I was so sneaky,” you said, putting shredded cheese on your potato. “I mean…. Look at who you’re with, you can’t out sneak a sneak,” he said tapping his temple twice.

Ruggie toyed with his food a little and smiled at his plate before looking up at you again. “Ya know, it means a lot to me that you’d do all this when you don’t have to. I don’t want you to feel like you have to take care of me,” he said softly. “You are my absolute world, I love you dearly.”

His words were warm and comforting, a sensation you loved feeling while he spoke. “Rug, I love you, too. That’s why I want to help you, even if it’s something small, I just don’t want you to feel like the weight of the world is on your back. Let me help you carry it. I don’t mind doing stuff for you, you do stuff for me all the time. I just want to care for you, the way you care for me,” you assured him.

“Thank you, I’ll try to ask for help more, that is IF I feel like I need it,” he snickered. You narrowed your eyes at him, he couldn’t stay serious longer than 5 minutes to save his life sometimes. “You are such an asshat, I can’t stand you,” you teased. Ruggie grinned as he gave your nose a boop. “No, no, you love me. I know you do,” he purred as you both continued to finish your plates.

a/n: you know to save myself the trouble, we’re gonna do the second one. 

item on sell: leona kingscholar, ruggie bucchi, jack howl, rook hunt, and vil schoenheit x gn!reader

item description: the boys helping you get used to nrc

warning: none

~~~~

- first off, you got this man to help you? 

- he would not care about helping you at first but seeing as you were a person who felt very out of place in a world with new rules, he kinda resort to helping you. 

- please tell your guide to take you around the school as a free tour. 

- leona literally scowled at his dorm mates when he heard the slightest snicker or laughed at the fact the dorm leader of savanaclaw is helping a poor magic-less human. 

- but for whatever reason, he seems more calm whenever you’re around. he doesn’t straight up attack other students because you’re always there to stop him.

- the fact your personality clashes with his makes him question everything. why the heck is a sweet person like you hanging out with him out of all people? 

- “shishishi~, don’t tell me that the dorm leader of the infamous savanaclaw has a crush on the new transfer~?” 

- “shut the hell up ruggie.” 

- yeah sure you’re friends with like most of the students in the school but leona was always your go-to since he helped you a lot throughout the time you were here, so he was sort of your best friend. 

- the whole crush thing that ruggie told, well teased, you about wasn’t a lie. more like a half truth. leona tolerates you but he never thought he would actually have a crush on you out of all people. 

- his confession to you was extremely straightforward. just straight up “i like you, be mine” kind of. 

- literally no one suspected that you and leona would be an item of night raven collage. 

- leona respects you. he know you can be pretty badass at times and he’s literally so proud that his s/o can kick butt, even without magic. 

- wait until his brother and nephew hears about this. 

- love him, love him say that you love him/ref

- this man is such a teaser. 

- he teases you every five minutes. it’s not even funny. 

- he does help you with your alchemy lessons, there’s just a lot of teasing. 

- it’s like this everyday, how are you alive? 

- his fellow second years are questioning if ruggie has a crush on you or this is just plain teasing left and right. 

- well no crush developed until he sulked about not having his favorite lunch item one day. you offered to get him lunch and it was on you since you had enough to pay for the both of you. he was eccentric. 

- since that day, all he could think about was your kind gesture. even he blushed whenever he thought about it. 

- ruggie would try everything to brush off the “hey you have a crush on y/n” question. he would laugh it off, say he’s busy, anything to avoid that damn question because he’s conflicted. 

- he accidentally blurted out that he had a crush on you one study session with you and the first years. 

- “ruggie-senpai wha-” 

- “don’t say anything” 

- he was that embarrassed. 

- you confronted him about it again a day after and he just started to spill everything about how you payed for lunch for him that one day. since where he lived, he had to savage for food on his own, it was the most kindest thing anyone has done for him. 

- the second years are quite happy that ruggie has found someone like you. though, there are no doubts that you two may chaos havoc together. 

- two tricksters in this school, what can possible go wrong? 

- he’s a little tsundere that’s what he is. 

- i fee like he likes helping you out since you’re a person out of their world, twisted wonderland might be confusing for you. 

- he likes to tutor you if you ever get stuck on anything you’re stuck on. he may be weak on some subjects but he’ll help in anyway he can. 

- if you’re someone who likes to take morning jogs, etc, he’ll let you train with him, even though he’s a big tsundere about it. 

- mostly like ace and ruggie will tease him for having a crush on you. 

- jack will go to his childhood friend, vil, for advice cause the poor boy doesn’t know how to figure out his own feelings (it’s okay jack) 

- he decided to wing it. 

- you and jack were having a study session when the conversation turned to a love thing. he confessed to you without knowing. 

- are you okay y/n?

- you two are the most cutest couple ever. the first years are really happy for you. that didn’t stop ace’s teasing though. 

- this man is about to hunt for your love. 

- he was actually quite interested in you when he first laid eyes on you. 

- as such, he doesn’t mind helping you out. 

- he guides you to your classes. it is a big school, mostly likely you’d get lost real quick. 

- you would think that rook can’t hide his love for you. he would say that he does have a crush on you with pride. 

- the third years are really not surprised. 

- “mon amour, this shouldn’t be a surprise to you!” 

- “rook-senpai i-” 

- since you two are a thing now, he can swoop you away whenever he wants. 

- vil is one of the reluctant ones. he was hesitant to help out but being a senpai, he kinda had to help. 

- great seven he has to fix your appearance when he sees something out of place. 

- are you annoyed? maybe? 

- if you have disney knowledge, you know that vil is equivalent of the evil queen. meaning, he’s gonna fix your appearance every five seconds

- now for someone like him, he would never expect to fall in love with someone like you. you intrigue him. and it’s conflicting for him. 

- does the third years find out? yes. how do they know? rook. 

- boy this man is confused. on one hand, he only tolerate you. but on the other hand, he’s so intrigued in you so much. 

- he catches you one day while you were trying to clean up after the idiot duo’s mess, which was mostly ace’s fault (sorry ace simps) 

- he kinda tells you how he felt for the past few weeks just to get it off his chest.. and also that the third years kinda persuaded him to. 

- you were.. utterly shocked? coming from the person that gets annoyed that your appearance is not perfect, he still adores you. 

- you could say that your personality was the main thing he cared about. looks are one thing but it’s how you really are in your heart that counts to vil. 

- you two were dubbed “the most fashionable couple” by basically everyone in school.

wHY IS THIS SO LONG?

[justm3di0cr3]

Anyways sending this bc Addie told me I should... It's very big guys it's 2k words don't tell me I didn't warn ya💀 @viilpstick

Anyways this happens like a few years after Daisy and Ruggie graduate NRC, Daisy is living in the Shaftlands (I think) with Trein as he decided to be her guardian while Ruggie is working and still living with his grandma at Sunset Savannah; Daisy is planning to move there so they can see each other more often and end the long distance aspect of their relationship (yes I thought about this way too much)

"I'm home.” Ruggie said, taking off his shoes and stretching his arms. His ears twitched at the sound of footsteps getting closer fast, was his grandma running? He told her to take it easy…

They continued to get louder until the familiar face of his girlfriend showed up at the end of the hallway, a big grin on her face as she looked at him and he stared at her in shock and confusion.

“Don't just stand there, give me a hug!” Daisy joked, opening her arms right after, and Ruggie ran towards her, holding her tightly in his arms and nearly making them fall in the process. The blonde laughed at him and kissed his shoulder. 

“When did you get here? I thought you would come visit next week.” he separated himself from her, but kept her in his arms, his hands caressing her face as she leaned into his touch. 

“I decided to make a surprise.” Daisy smiled. “Mozus told me I could visit you guys sooner, especially since I've been planning to move to Sunset Savannah so…” 

“I still can't get over the fact that Mr. Trein basically adopted you.” Ruggie laughed at the memory. “Don't call him by his first name, it feels weird.”

"Oh shush, he likes it when I call him by his name. So get used to it, will you? He’ll be your father-in-law one day.” Daisy stood on her tiptoes and gave him a quick kiss, Ruggie chuckled.

Father-in-law, huh…

“I see you two are catching up already.” Granny Bucchi stood at the end of the hallway, hand on her mouth as she laughed at the couple in front of her. 

“Grammy, how long have you been there?” Ruggie complained, embarrassed, separating himself from Daisy but still holding her hand, as if if he let go she would run away. 

“Enough time, enough time… now come my dears, dinner’s ready!” The old woman slowly but surely made her way to the kitchen, as Daisy ran to help her walk and Ruggie followed behind with a smile on his face. He couldn't believe his two favorite people in the entire world were with him right now… 

“Don't worry, Ruggie, I brought all the food with me. I basically forced granny Bucchi here to not waste anything from your stock.”

“Oh, nonsense, I would’ve gladly used our food to make a meal for my grandson’s girlfriend.” She said as she pinched Daisy’s cheeks, making the girl giggle. “You deserve every inch of it.”

“Don't waste your breath, Grammy… Daisy never listens.” Ruggie teased after pulling her and his grandma’s chair, letting them sit down first. Daisy stuck her tongue out to him in a childish manner, and the whole room was filled with laughter and joy as they ate a wonderful meal together.

Truly, this was heaven.

•••

“Sorry ‘bout that, we really don't have any other rooms… not a big house, as you’ve seen…” Ruggie apologized as he helped Daisy set her baggage in his room, the blonde followed him, embarrassed to have to go to sleep in the same room as him.

“That's totally fine, really. There's no need to apologize.” Ruggie gave her a soft smile, going to his small wardrobe and taking out a thin sheet, setting it on the floor as a makeshift bed. “Wha- love, what are you doing?”

Ruggie’s ear twitched at the affectionate nickname. “Preparing a place for me to sleep. You can sleep on my bed, I don't mind.”

“What? No, you don't need to do that! We can just sleep together.” Daisy said, matter of factly, but after Ruggie stared at her with his eyes widened, she blushed and looked away, finally realizing the meaning of her words. “I mean- I-I mean literally sleeping! I wou-wouldn’t want you to sleep on the floor at your own house!” Daisy fidgeted with her fingers as Ruggie’s eyes softened and he started to chuckle. “O-or if you're not comfortable I could sleep on the floor…”

“That's out of the question!" Ruggie said, then, he folded the sheet once again, setting it aside and grabbing his girlfriend’s hands. “Sure. Let's sleep together. If you're ok with it.”

Daisy still refused to make eye contact, but nodded, squeezing his hands in return. Ruggie smiled at her and guided her to his bed, telling her he would change in the bathroom and that she could have the room to herself so she could change and they could go to sleep. With that, he left with a few clothes, leaving Daisy alone in his room.

After the girl got changed, she sat on his bed, waiting for Ruggie to return. She looked around his room, it was small, somehow very similar yet very different to his former room at NRC… she looked at his worn down night stand, smiling at a picture of him as a child and his grandma. She giggled at how cute he was as just a kid, he really did grow up to be such an incredible man.

She tilted her head, seeing something with a velvet texture behind the frame. Carefully, she grabbed the object, realizing it was a box, and her heart started beating at the sight of it. Why would Ruggie have a velvet box in his room? Could it be-

No. She mustn’t get carried away.

Well… but there wasn't harm in making sure, right? She opened the box carefully, scared it could somehow break. Daisy's brown eyes widened in shock as she gasped, a hiccup following it right after. 

Inside there stood a small golden ring, very simple, with a few details adorning it. There was no jewel, but it was beautiful regardless, its simplicity being enough to make Daisy’s heart skip a beat.

Wha- was Ruggie- no. They were so young still, he couldn't- he probably didn't- I mean-

Another hiccup.

“Daisy.” Ruggie’s voice was heard from behind the door and the girl immediately put the box right where she found it. She started fanning herself to calm down and to make the obvious blush on her cheeks go away. “Can I come in?”

“Yes–” she hiccupped again and Ruggie laughed as soon as he got in.

“You’ve got hiccups?” Daisy nodded, looking away from him and staring at her hands. She couldn't face him after seeing what she saw. “You want me to bring you a cup of water or?”

“N-no, I'm alright–” another one. She put her hand in her mouth as she frowned. 

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. Let's just go to sleep.”

With that, Ruggie decided to let the subject die, climbing onto his bed and laying down with Daisy by his side. They laid a bit far from each other, — or as far as they could, given that just like the actual house, Ruggie’s bed was very small — Daisy fidgeting with the thin blanket and looking in the opposite direction from where Ruggie was. The man in question looked at his girlfriend in confusion. 

“Why are you so far away?”

“I'm not.” Another hiccup. Ruggie chuckled and grabbed her face gently, making her look at him. 

“Come on, we’ve cuddled in bed before, it's not that different, really.” The hyena beastmen opened his arms and Daisy stared at him, her cheeks flustered. She slowly got closer to him, making herself comfortable in his arms, and basically melting into him as he started playing with her hair. “Why are you so nervous? If you're uncomfortable I can sleep on the floor. I really don't mind.”

“It's not that.” she said, squeezing him tight as she glanced at his night stand. “I… Ruggie, c-can I ask you something?”

“Anything ya want.”

“What… what's up with the ring on your night stand?” Ruggie’s hand stopped moving and scratching her head, he was frozen as he realized he was caught red handed.

“Uh… what ring?”

“Ruggie.”

“Alright, alright, you got me!” He said, rolling to lay on his back as Daisy stayed where she was, staring at the beastman laying next to her. His cheeks were red and he looked extremely nervous, his ears couldn't stop moving and Daisy smiled, he looked really cute. “I… I bought that a few months ago…”

“Months?!” Daisy sat down on the bed, looking down at him in shock. “You had it for months?”

“I wanted time to think about how I would ask you, ok?” He pouted, his blue eyes staring at her. “I've been saving for it ever since I left NRC, I figured I’d want to buy a ring one day so I could ask for your hand…”

“Right after– you're crazy.” Daisy chuckled nervously, a hand on her mouth trying to hide her sheepish smile. 

“A guy needs a plan of life, ok? Is it that surprising to think about marriage when you’ve been dating for years? And it's not like I was gonna propose right after school, I just wanted to plan ahead.” Ruggie defended himself. “I had a whole plan to do it as well… now it's all ruined.”

“No, it's not.” the blonde said, laying on the bed again as she tried to encourage him. “You can still do it. What did you have in mind?”

“Well…” Ruggie started, looking at the ceiling as to avoid the woman’s gaze. “My plan was to cook you something nice when you visited next week…”

“You were gonna ask me next week?”

“Can I finish?” Ruggie looked at her as he chuckled and Daisy just pouted at him. “I would sneak the box in your pocket or your purse and wait until you found it just to mess with you a bit, so once you opened it I would do the whole cringy stuff of getting on one knee and blah blah blah–”

“It's not cringy, it's romantic! And even in your proposal you can't be normal, huh?” She joked and Ruggie turned his body to her as she laughed, a smile on both of their faces. “It's a cute idea though… you can still do it, you know.”

“I can't, you found out about the ring and about my plan, it's not going to be genuine anymore…” Ruggie sighed, closing his eyes in defeat. Daisy caressed his cheek, her thumb moving in circle motions making Ruggie purr. 

“Isn’t there another way to fix the situation? I do want you to ask me.”

Ruggie opened his eyes, his gaze locked with hers for a moment, until a mischievous grin formed on his lips. Daisy knew there was something up the moment he looked at her, but it was too late, a second later the man had moved on top of her, hands holding her wrists as he pinned her down, a smirk on his lips as he moved his face closer to hers.

“Well… I mean, there might be.”

Daisy hiccupped. Again. She thought it had gone away… Ruggie’s eyes widened in surprise as he giggled and she looked away, embarrassed by herself. His hand moved towards her chin, making her look at him, his clawed finger slightly touching her lip.

“Eléa.” He tried, and hoped that his pronunciation was correct this time, just this one time he wanted to say her name without mistakes… “I want to marry you.” The blonde held her breath. “So… will you?”

Hiccup. Ruggie laughed and Daisy told him to stop as she hiccupped again and the man laughed even more, his grip on her loosening. In annoyance, Daisy managed to free herself from him only to grab his neck and force him to move closer to her, kissing him right then and there. It wasn't very long, wasn't deep either, but it was full of love and affection, a demonstration of what she actually wanted to tell him, that she’d go absolutely anywhere as long as he promised to go with her. After all, he was her home.

“Yes.” She whispered between kisses. “I will.” She locked their gazes once they were separated, both flustered but extremely happy, and she held him close for a hug, which he reciprocated right away, giving her small kisses on her shoulder. 

“Wait–” he murmured as he gently separated himself from her and got up. Daisy sat on the bed, looking as the beastman grabbed the box and sat down next to her. He opened it, getting her left hand and putting the ring on her finger, smiling stupidly at it. “I guess we’re engaged now.”

“It seems so.” Daisy giggled, admiring her ring and gently passing a finger on it. “It's perfect.”

“Nah, you deserve more.”

“No, I love it.” She reassured him, giving him a quick kiss. “We need to tell your grandma about this tomorrow, and Leona too, and Jack and Ace, Deuce, Grim and–”

“Shh, I get it, I get it. Let's just sleep now, ok? I want my fiancée all to myself for now.”
