#twisted wonderland x gn!reader

[islandofsages]

The first years (not Ortho) discovering that they are Yuu's emergency contact. Like Yuu put them as an emergency contact, but he didn't think it would be necessary, but he ends up having an accident out the town and is taken to the hospital, causing one of the first years to be called, so when they ask Yuu why they chose him to be As his emergency contact, Yuu responds that he is the one he trusts the most in the group.

author's notes: ngl the pronouns in the ask kinda confused me so i just made this gn reader lol hope you dont mind anon <3

Ace Trappola

Despite all his antics (or maybe because of them), he really feels that he’s made a genuine connection with you

He won’t say it but he’s really glad that you put up with him and you don’t see him as some one-dimensional jerk you do see him as a multidimensional jerk though /joke

So when he gets a call from your number yet an unfamiliar voice greets him, he immediately grows worried, and for good reason - turns out you’ve ended up in the hospital due to some unknown accident

He drops everything he’s doing and rushes to the hospital without thinking twice. Like, literally rush there. He spares no time to call for transport

…Or ask for details from anyone for that matter. If it weren’t for the staff, he would’ve tried barging into any random ward to find you

When he gets to you, panting and panicked, he goes to steady himself, his hands gripping the sides of the hospital bed so tightly

You’re glad to see his face and he’s glad to see that you still manage to muster up a smile at his presence

That’s when he notices that nobody else is there, and so he asks you where everybody else is. You tell him they only called up your emergency contact which is none other than Ace himself

He asks you why is he your emergency contact out of everyone-

“It’s because I trust you the most, you idiot. I bet you ran all the way here the moment you got that phone call.”

You let out a knowing laugh and Ace pouts as a response, totally not trying to hide the tears that pricked the corner of his eyes

You’re not sure who’s supposed to do the comforting at that moment, considering you were involved in an accident and Ace is on the verge of tears - so you both don’t bother trying. The following conversation carries on as normal

Despite all his antics, you really feel like your faith in him is not misplaced.

Deuce Spade

You’ve always admired Deuce’s strength to change - and he’s always admired your loyalty

Sometimes he’d feel guilty for having you endure having him as a friend and you always have to shut him up by assuring him that there’s really nothing to endure

Even when you have to endure an almost life-ending accident, you can’t help but think of him first and foremost

His grip on the phone alternates between on the verge of breaking and so loose it’s a miracle he hasn’t dropped it yet when he gets the news

Someone goes to fetch him from the hospital and he cries on the way, not giving any room for the person to speak with him

He tries to put on a brave face when he walks through the halls in search of you but when he reaches you, he can’t resist the yell he lets out

“YUU! YOU’RE ALIVE!”

You end up having to calm him down a bit lest you two become the victims of a few dozen glares in that hospital

When he’s down to only sniffing, you tell him why he’s the first person you called

He almost broke down into tears again because of it

He’d hug you or hold your hand if your condition allows it and give you a teary smile that you of course reciprocate

You fill him in on what happened and he’ll listen intently, then offer to be by your side as long as you need him to

He’s always admired your strength - and you’ve always admired his loyalty.

Jack Howl

You always found his stubbornness amusing and honestly, he’s a bit confused as to why you stick by him all this time

Not really in a self-deprecating way - he’s always been more of a lone wolf. Only when he came to Night Raven College does he feel like he’s part of a pack now

And since you’re a part of that pack, he has a strong need to protect you, no matter the cost; so you can imagine his reaction when he got a call about you ending up in the hospital after an accident

The first thing he feels is anger; not at anything in particular yet at everything simultaneously. It’s called an accident for a reason yet why did the universe allow such a thing to happen to you?

He tries to calm himself down on the way to the hospital but it’s nothing short of difficult, even with the help of someone else

When he finally finds you, he finally lets out a breath he wasn’t even aware he was holding

You muster a smile up at him and it takes his all not to let tears break through the surface

“...I was really worried.”

You chuckle - in situations like this, his absent stubbornness really makes a difference, but you appreciate his honesty

He didn’t think twice of the fact that he was the first one you called but you tell him why anyway. A cute little smile adorns his features then

He says he’s honored that his feelings are mutual then swears to you he’ll try harder to protect you, even if it means switching places with you

You brush him off, saying you’d do the same. The conversation goes back and forth for a while after that

He’s always found your insistence endearing and frankly, he wouldn’t have you any other way.

Epel Felmier

A bit similar to Jack, only when coming to Night Raven College does he get to mingle with kids of his age due to his hometown

And one of those kids is none other than you! You two have grown so close and made some unforgettable memories together

Unfortunately though, one of those unforgettable memories includes the news of your accident. Not just for him - some may remember the scream he let out at the news

He begged Vil to let him borrow the blastcycle the Film Research Club has and Vil only nodded solemnly; nobody needs to see him cry on the way to you

He speeds through everything and anything possible; he doesn’t care whatever consequences he has to face after all this is over

When he reaches the hospital, he allows the staff to guide him to where you are as he catches his breath

He chokes out a gasp at the sight of you and calls out to you

“Y-Yuu… I’m so glad you’re alright…”

He sits on the stool provided by the hospital and his head droops low. He’s silent

You give him a moment to process everything. It’s a lot to take in. Even you didn’t think it could come to this

Five minutes pass. You sigh and tell him why he’s the first you reached out to. He mirrors your sigh and a small smile creeps onto his face

He’s grateful that he means so much to you; grateful that he can mean so much to someone. Despite himself, his heart swells with pride

Even when you are inches away from death, he feels like every memory can be a happy one as long as you’re in it.

Sebek Zigvolt

He sees you as an equal - and that’s saying something

He won’t admit it out loud but he feels less lonely for once, seeing that someone understands or at least respects him as much as you do

For once, he feels he can disconnect from his Malleus worship for a while and not feel like he’s betraying his trust

But when he hears news of you ending up in the hospital, he definitely feels a sharp pang of guilt pierce his chest; he’s betrayed your trust

He excuses himself from Malleus and apologizes profusely for willingly leaving his side for someone else, but he simply can’t abandon you

Malleus lets him go of course, even offers to tag along, but Sebek assures that Malleus is needed more where he is

His head rested in his hands while he laments in his transport, breathing heavily

It takes his all not to shout your name in search of your ward when he reaches the hospital; but he can no longer hold it back when his eyes land on you

“YUU…! YOU’RE… You have no idea…”

You wave to him as he runs to your side, tears at the corner of his eyes

You rub his back as he quietly sobs for a minute, even feeling like sobbing yourself at some point; this man holds so much love for you

You tell him why you summoned only him for now - the tears continue to stream but now he smiles and puts a hand to his head

How silly of him. Of course. How could he make such assumptions about your relationship? He could never betray you. Every moment only strengthens your trust in each other.

Staff with a scrawny and bitey Child!Yuu

Warning(s): cussing

A/N: thought I might as well get the rest of the staff introductions out of the way cause of some asks.

[Bitey child!Yuu Masterlist]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Divus Crewel

You first officially met Professor Crewel when you walked into your first class with Grim

he was about to start his lesson when he just saw a small child and some type of fire cat thing sitting at one of the desks

just to give you a lil picture, you were prob sitting down on the seat with only your head making it over the desk, same situation with Grim.

so he paused his lesson and brought you two out to the hall to ask what in the ever loving fuck you were here and not with either your parents or the authorities, and why Grim is allowed here

Grim tries to explain, but Crewel just takes you to Crowley to clear things up.

Let's just say Crewel is none too pleased that the headmaster is having a child stay on campus until he can find a way to get them back

but he begrudgingly excepts it.

He allows you to sit in on his lessons but when its time to make the potions he has you sit behind his desk, where you'll usually take a nap

when he first found out about your biting habit it was when a random student walked into his class to talk to a friend or smth, and out of nowhere you just lunged at the poor kid

he quickly pried you off the kid's leg and scolded you.

He hates this habit

but a small part of him finds it funny, especially when the person you bite is being an asshole

is one of the ppl who tries to stop this habit you have.

He's almost like a strict uncle or smth like that

random but, he always fixes your clothes and hair when there messy

he'll always re-tie your bow around your wrist when Grims not around

you will sometimes come to him at random times to help with an untied shoe, he'll sigh, pick you and sit you on his desk then tie em for ya.

Overall, he almost treats you like an untrained puppy. He has a feeling that the reason for your habit isn't as random as most ppl say, but he feels its not his place to ask.

also, you may sometimes take naps on his jacket when he takes it off.

Mozus Train

Train has conflicted feelings about you.

First time you met him you didn't bite him, but you did stare at him for a long while

he was so confused by you for a minute, but eventually realized you were staring at Lucius in his arms

so he kneeled down to your level and let you pet the cat.

Most of the stray cats you ran into weren't very nice, most would bite or scratch you

so your not very fond of them, at least not as fond of the as you were dogs

but this cat seemed especially friendly since it was all cuddled up in this old guys arms

after that you'll usually waltz into his class at random times to hang out with Lucius.

He found out about the biting from overhearing a couple students complaining about getting bit

at first he thought they were talking about some animal but then he heard your name

he heavily scolds you the next time he sees you, which you didn't even listen to, just stared at him.

Train isn't pleased by this obv and tries his best to get you to stop, spoiler alert,

doesn't work.

You remind him slightly of when one of his daughters was little, so he grew a small soft spot for you

and when he realized how big the uniform was on you and that you didn't have anything else, he was happy to give you some of their old clothes, he was meaning to get rid of them anyway.

Overall, he and Lucius enjoy your presence. He finds it almost adorable how invested you are in his lectures and like having you there. He might be one of the ones who hates your biting the most.

Also very concerned about who taught you this, or why your guardian allowed it to continue.

Ashton Vargas

This mf LOVES you!

Your so strong for a child your age and size.

Anyways,

yeah you bit him

but he gave no reaction

I'm not sure he even felt it to be honest.

You decided to stay in his calf for some reason and he didn't even notice until someone pointed it out

to which he laughed and pulled you off.

Vargas is one of the few that encourages your biting, even giving you tips on how to strengthen your jaw to have a better bite force

he also finds it pretty funny, but he still pulls you off the person when he sees you biting someone

every time he laughs around Train or Crewel they hit the back of his head.

During gym class he does child-friendly exercises with you when he doesn't need to watch the other students,

Overall, thinks your a cool kid and is impressed by you. He doesn't rly care about why you do it tho, just thinks your a weird kid.

Sam

He thinks your quite interesting.

The first time he met you was when Grim dragged you with him to get tuna

he heard of you from the students when they were shopping around

so he also heard of the bites

was a lil cautious of you the first time he met ya, not wanting to get bit, but after like a half an hour of you and Grim looking for the tuna and not being able finding it it was on a top shelf

he relaxed and helped you two.

From then on you would come in to get things and he'd have you help around a lil bit to pay for it

minus the occasional biting, you were a good little helper

he even gave you a small pin that said

'Little Helper'

you loved it so much, that you wore it the whole day on the days you were going to help Sam

and would show it off to your friends

which he heavily much encourages a lot since that time you told Cheka about Sam's Shop, and his dad made a very big purchase.

Overall, he likes having you around, thinks your quite adorable and funny. He's neutral about the biting, as long as you don't bite him or too many customers then he doesn't care all that much.

Slightly curious about who taught you to do it and why they did, but doesn't think its important.

[zmbiesuga]

thinkin' about vil schoenheit sorry

doing vils makeup is an intimate affair.

typically in this scenario, he is the one putting product on your face because truthfully, with things like this he's more of a giver.

that and he's never really been one to trust others with the responsibility of his appearance. sure, there were makeup artists & hair stylists but those were professionals who knew what they were doing. unlike you.

and yet he's sitting here, letting you apply all sorts of things to his face because it makes you happy. because you wanted to make him feel as special as he makes you feel.

he's never let anyone who wasn't a professional ever touch his face like this, and yet he trusts you with his whole being.

he trusts you even though he knows it's not going to look how he wants, he trusts you even though he knows you're perfectly capable of messing it up and he even trusts you knowing that the slight, miniscule chance that you put the wrong product on his face could cause him a break out.

but he doesn't care, because right now in his room, it's just you two. in your comfortable silence, two hearts beating side by side.

yes, doing vil schoenheits makeup is an intimate affair, and you're the only one who he would dare share this moment with.

[calimelontea]

in a day's amusement!

❥Spending a day with them at an amusement park!

Category- Fluff ☀

Content- Malleus, Trey, Floyd and Kalim, GN!reader, like slight mentions of death if you squint?? But it's jokingly within the context given :)

Floyd Leech

══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞══✿══

➼If you are afraid of heights, he is the WORST choice fr, you thought you had free will? Think again, y'all are going on all the highest, fastest and most extreme rides on the park and he is NOT taking no for an answer.

➼I salute you soldier, your sacrifice will not be in vain /j

➼Real talk tho, he's gonna go on just about everything that looks dangerous or fun (which his version of fun is also dangerous in it's own rights) and ofc he's gonna take his favorite shrimpy with him! Why wouldn't he want to torment you bring you along?? (he does this out of love) <3

➼So just be prepared for a lot of running and being dragged by the arm from place to place until he eventually gets bored from riding everything. Which will likely take awhile, so I def suggest running shoes for this trip.

➼Ofc he'll go on anything you suggest, although begrudgingly if it doesn't involve dizzying speeds or death-defying drops. As long as it keeps the two of you busy or entertained, he isn't really opposed to it.

➼Sadly you'd end up being the one that needs to prepare for this trip cuz he's just gonna run in with whatever's in his pockets and that's all :') but he'll be thankful for it later when you bust out the water bottles and sunscreen from your handy bag once the heat picks up.

➼But hey, what's a trip without some spontaneous decision making?? Which will certainly be happening at the gift shops once your trip is all done. Bro is gonna grab so much overpriced junk you could easily buy cheap at a local convenience store all for the heck of it.

➼If you're a rollercoaster junkie or just vibe with literally anything and everything, you're likely to have a blast with him, but if you're deathly terrified of heights or fast paced rides, sorry luv, you're gonna be fighting for your life to be getting out of that line </3

Kalim Al-Asim

══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞══✿══

➼Look at this lil guy, this beam of sunshine, this absolute lad. He's just so happy to be going somewhere and spending time with you!

➼Will absolutely go anywhere you wanna go 100%! The spinning teacups ride? Absolutely! The ferris wheel? Sure thing! The ultimate mega coaster of death and destruction? I see no reason why not! :D

➼He wants to ensure that you're having just as much of a good time as he is, and that you're completely comfortable throughout the whole trip!

➼The concessions are definitely a must while you two are there. Y'all end up trying almost everything the park has to offer, mostly due to the fact that you two will literally exchange snacks for one other to try if you two don't get the same thing.

➼Likely only prepared for the trip with Jamil's help tbh, otherwise poor guy would probably be going in completely barren as well </3

➼Despite that though, he's more than happy to cover for expenses, which means plenty of stops to gift shops and prize games! (Definitely tries to win you a prize from the games, but ultimately asks for help from Jamil cuz he can't quite get it :') he's trying his best)

➼Speaking of Jamil, bro is literally gonna be ran ragged cuz of you two, r.i.p bro </3 gonna have a heart attack the second you recommend anything that looks remotely deadly, y'all gonna have to sneak past him in order to get in line...

➼Definitely one of the best options for a good time! He's always ready for a fun time and isn't shy to try out scary rides with you!

Malleus Draconia

══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞══✿══

➼Bro is taking in the sights fr, all whilst you're out here trying to figure out what you two should do for the day.

➼Ofc it makes him extremely happy you chose him to come with you on this trip! And because of this he ensures he has all the essential supplies to make sure this trip goes off without a hitch!

➼Similarly to Kalim, he's no chicken when it comes to the intimidating rides. He'll happily accompany you in whichever excursion you believe will be the most fun. Only difference is he's just gonna be one of those mf's that just sits there in silence tho while everyone else is screaming for their lives, bless his heart... /lh

➼Also similarly to Kalim, he's got no problem covering for expenses, although he'll mainly do so just for you. May buy himself a singular lil keychain as a memoir for this occasion (and will likely get one of those fancy glass display case boxes for it once he gets back 😭)

➼Thanks to Lilia's tutelage, he is able to operate his phone's camera!! Which means he will probably take all sorts of pictures along the trip. Whether he sees an aesthetically pleasing landmark, or accidentally fumbles his phone and takes like 5 pictures of his thumb covering the lens, he will have many memories of the trip documented in his device.

➼May even sneak a couple of cute photos of you as well <3

➼Pls sit in a nice scenic spot with him and eat icecream together whilst talking about literally any obscure subject you want to talk about. Bro will be the happiest fae in Twisted Wonderland + he just deserves it :')

➼Very good man, 10/10 if you want a nice, chill, wholesome trip full of new memories and maybe a couple thrills if you're up to the challenge.

Trey Clover

══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞══✿══

➼First of all, this man is showing up legit OVER prepared for this trip.

➼Oh, you need this strange, obscure item for some completely isolated event that it would be needed? Good thing he packed it just in case 👍 Bag checkouts at the security gate would take ages...

➼Once you're in tho, it's a pretty fun time! He's more than happy to take you on some of the more mild rides, but for anything too intense, he's likely to end up being the designated bag holder. Bro has his boundaries.

➼An absolute no brainer though is definitely the sweets! Sugary goodies from amusement parks are typically quite unique depending on where you get it and what time of the year it is, so it's always good to give it a try while you can!

➼If you take a bite of a dessert you brought from the park and tell him you think he makes it better, I guarantee he would melt hbdkhadkajs

➼Is the designated mapholder and helps you plan out the day. Will even make sure you guys have enough time to see any shows the park may perform within the day!

➼And ofc you guys won't leave the park empty handed! He'll probably get something cute for the two of you from the souvenir shop like matching bracelets or some stuffed animals.

➼Overall a great choice for the perfect experience! He may not be a daredevil, but he will always make sure you're having fun and staying safe <3

[dazey-aceie]

I'll throw Riddle some love. Figure he has a gn partner. Their just hanging out in the dorm. Cue Ace saying he's in trouble for nothing and the mc says well you broke rule xxx. Cue Riddle being impressed they knew that rule and doubly so since their not in his dorm. Figure Riddle stops to compliment and Ace tries to sneak off while Riddle is distracted. It does not work however.

Riddle x Reader: “Color me impressed…”

☁︎ Fluffy, kinda crackish at times.

⚠︎ Warnings: none really

ꕤ Notes: I tried my best with this one, its kinda a crack post ngl

! Word Count: 526

Ace had stormed in, not too common of him to say the least, and honestly, you were bored so might as well indulge him.

“What’s got your panties in a knot?”

“Riddle’s pissed at me, again! For literally nothing, he’s over reacting! And my panties are NOT in a knot! …Wait-“

“Too late, Trappola,” You laughed, as you shrugged in his direction, “Well, you did break rule 526, so Riddle’s not all in the wrong here.”

Ace looked at you with a dumbfounded expression on his face, “How did you…?”

“Hey, I date the guy, might as well try to learn the rules he prides himself on, right?” You threw him another shrug as you gave him a cheeky smile.

“Color me impressed, y/n…” Riddle said as he walked into the room, standing by the door frame.

You honestly weren’t expecting him to show up this early, sure classes had let out, but there was a dorm leading meeting taking place afterwards, and by the looks of it, it had ended early.

Riddle’s usually stoic face was softer, and his eyes looked full of admiration directed towards you.

It was nice to see it. I mean, Riddle has an image to keep up, and the fact that he’s let his guard down a bit, even when anyone could walk in, made you happy. And the compliment was a huge plus.

“Why thank you, dearest Riddle!” You beamed.

Riddle let out a soft chuckle, you could tell that he was tuckered out, his eyes were droopy, but he was trying his best not to show it.

“No worries, y/n.” He smiled softly, walking over to seat himself beside you. “I have to say, I am rather impressed that you have memorized so many of the Queen’s rules. It’s quite the feat. Treys only made it to 300 or so… Plus the fact that you're not even in this dorm...”

“Ha! It took so many hours of practice… And a lot of blood sweat and tears, but I finally surpassed him!” You laughed, as you gave him a playful wink

Ace was still in the back, “Wait… blood sweat and tears…?”

You and Riddle took no notice to the confused student, we’ll not visibly at least. So Ace thought it was all clear.

“Indeed you did y/n… How about I ask Trey to make some tarts for the occasion?”

“Oooh, a tart sounds good right about now…”

“Perfect. We’ll host a celebration tomorrow!”

Your face lit up and you were excited for sure, you and Riddle continued with small talk, until…

“Off with your head!”

“Dang it! I was so close too!” Ace sobbed, halfway out the door.

“Don’t think I forgot about you Ace Trappola! As punishment you’ll help set up all the decorations for tomorrow! When you’re done with that the collar will come off.” Riddle explained.

Ace groaned, “Not again…”

You couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t worry, Ace, I’ll help out too! It’s only fair, the party is for me after all~” You winked.

Once again, your kindness has left Riddle speechless, as well as the previously revealed fact of your mesmerization of the rules, now if only you put this much effort into the rest of your studies.

requests are open!!

One Cannot Afford To Lose Another

Synopsis: In a flurry of emotions, he fell into overblot and fatally wounded the person who brought warmth into his life.

Feat. Malleus Draconia. Vil Schoenheit x GN!Reader (Established relationship)

Genre: Angst? + Fluff

Author's Note: Not super proud of this first post but these men are so fine.

If you'd like to listen to Malleus's sonata, here you go.

TW/Notes: Attempted murder, asphyxiation, comatose. Reader is referenced to look like a princess. English translation of TWST is used.

Ch. 5 spoilers on Vil's part!

He didn't mean to do it, he really didn't.

He wished that when he had never submitted himself to the insane creature he was a breath ago.

...

..

.

Your sleeping form looked terrifyingly similar to the princess who was sealed under a somnolent curse and entangled in a forest of thorns. Your shoulders lightly rose and fell rhythmically with your breathing, your hands folded on your chest— overlapping each other delicately— as if you were whispering a prayer in your sleep.

Malleus's fingers gently caressed your hands, placing his hand on top of yours as regret slowly filled his heart. The staccato of the clock's ticking and the swaying of its pendulum placed an emphasis on how long you were sleeping.

Eight days.

The bruises from his claws were still painted on your neck. It felt as if it was screaming at him— saying how unhinged he was. It mocked the fae over and over again.

It was hard to believe that he tried to snuff the life out of you, someone he treasured dearly.

How funny, Malleus thought. The night when you both were seated under the stars, he gallantly declared that he would protect you from harm. It was difficult to believe that he was the one to betray his own words.

A knock disturbed the fae from his thoughts and he permitted the person to enter. When the door opened, Silver and Sebek stood at the opening, dressed in their school uniform.

"There you are, Young Master! It's almost time to head to class," Sebek's booming voice echoed in the small room; however, you gave no reaction.

Silver sighed, placing a hand on his forehead in exasperation, "How many times have I told you to not raise your voice when you're in this room, Sebek? My apologies, Malleus."

Malleus shook his head and stood up from his seat, "No need to apologize, I was falling behind on schedule and you were simply abiding by your duties." The two knights nodded and stepped away from the entrance to give way for their master.

Every morning since the incident, just before the fae would leave for class, he would make a sweeping motion with his hand and conjure a pot of tea and a platter of your favorite pastries onto the nightstand. He knew the action may have been in vain, but he wished that when you woke up, you would take it as a small apology.

He peered over his shoulder one last time, in hope for you to show any signs of waking up, before elegantly walking out of the room with his knights in tow.

...

"Ever since Housewarden Draconia injured [Name] during his overblot episode, he's been acting a little strange."

"Indeed, his punishments towards us have become increasingly harsh; he also seems to be scowling more than normal."

"His usual snarkiness has also toned down to the point even Housewarden Kingscholar is slightly disconcerted by his mannerism."

The Diasomnia students, who were gathered at the dorm after classes were dismissed, muttered amongst themselves as their housewarden strode past them. The fae paid no interest to their idle talk and continued down the hallway, only halting when he reached your room.

Knocking twice on the wooden door, he turned the knob and opened it, entering the room. You still laid there, unchanged since the morning. Malleus sighed and closed the door behind him.

His footsteps rang sharply in the room as he stepped closer to the nightstand. He grazed his fingers over the untouched platter of pastries and brought one of the delicacies up to his lips, taking a bite.

The pastry's sweetness burned his tongue and it felt hard to swallow. Malleus finished the half-eaten dessert and dusted the crumbs off his fingers.

The room felt silent apart from the ringing in his ears and the steady tick-tocking of the clock. The housewarden's eyes flit around the room, searching for something to pass his time.

His gaze landed on the violin he'd gifted you on your birthday. You may not know how to play well, but you'd always enjoyed the elegant sound of the instrument whenever he played.

The fae undid the clasps of the case and lifted the lid, revealing the well-preserved violin seated in the red velvet lining. He smiled as the memories of him playing a duet with you seeped into his consciousness.

Removing his gloves, Malleus picked up the instrument from its case and plucked the four strings. The sound rung out roundedly and in harmony, he was quite surprised at how well you had taken care of it.

He slipped on the shoulder rest, tightened the bow, and tucked the arm-length instrument under his chin, deciding what he should play.

Then, his mind flitted back to you:

"Malleus!" you called out to him one day when you were both cleaning the attic of Ramshackle dorm. He hummed, ducking under the large support beam as he made his way to you. In your hands was a hand-bound book; the edges were flipped so many times that it curled. You opened it, carefully flipping through the loose sheets of paper, "It's a book filled with handwritten sonatas for the violin." The fae nodded but said nothing as you flipped to the last page. "Passacaglia" was the title of the last piece, containing four pages in total. You skimmed through the sheets and hummed a few of its melodies, "It seems to be a lovely composition, you should play it for me someday." you cheerfully said, handing Malleus the book. He took it from your hands, "I shall keep that in mind." he told you with a smile.

After he took the book back to his room, he played it several times, committing each line to memory. However, due to both of your busy schedules, he never found the time to perform for you, until now.

The fae closed his eyes and let his fingers dance on the strings, pouring all his troubles onto the instrument, the bittersweet aftertaste of the pastry still lingering in his tongue. The sonata was a somewhat melancholic piece— simple yet shocking to the core. One could say it was like an angel's singing as the chords echoed heavenly in the small room. Such large contrast there was between the piece and the player.

What Malleus did not know was that you were listening to his playing. In eight days, you finally opened your eyes. Having not yet adapted to the harsh sunlight of the waning sun, you naturally squinted. When your eyes finally adjusted, you were met with the sight of the prince of Briar Valley playing the violin with an unguarded smile.

The orange rays of light flickered against his long black horns and framed his features like how a painter would accentuate their model's beauty. You stayed silent, savoring every sound that rang from the violin until it reached the last note, ending with a soft whisper.

"...It was beautiful, Malleus. Thank you for playing it for me." you said quietly.

It was only then that he opened his eyes and saw you, sitting up, awake with a tired smile on your lips. He hurriedly placed the violin in its case and suddenly embraced you, causing you to tense up but quickly relax again.

Although no words were spoken, you felt a cold droplet of water fall into your back, which in return, you put your arms around him.

"I missed you." he uncharacteristically whispered, "I'm sorry I hurt you..."

You let out a sharp exhale at his words, "You didn't mean to do it on purpose. It's alright." You pulled away from the hug and used a shaky hand to wipe the tears at the corner of his eye.

Malleus noticed your lack of strength and poured a cup of the tea he brew earlier that was kept warm with magic. Instead of giving the cup to you, he downed the drink, or so you thought. He placed a hand onto your cheek and gently forced your mouth open with his thumb. Before you knew it, he was kissing you, pushing the tea you thought he drank down your throat.

Your face was bright red when you both pulled away from each other; you brought a hand up to your chin and wiped away the tea that escaped the corner of your mouth.

"Why did you-" the fae cut your speech short with another kiss.

"I missed you and your kisses, is it really that hard to understand?" His breath was warm against your nose as he muttered out his confession with a small pout on his face.

You sometimes really wondered how people could fear such an adorable prince. You were deep in thought when Malleus began to pepper your face with fleeting kisses eliciting a soft giggle out of you.

He then brought your hand to his lips and kissed your knuckles in a princely manner. "Do you love me?"

His sudden question surprised you, "Huh?"

"Do you love me?" Malleus asked again, kissing the tips of your fingers, awaiting for your reply.

"Of course, I do! I love you, Malleus."

The housewarden let out an amused huff, smirking somewhat smugly, before replying , "I love you too." and sealed his words with a kiss.

Minor spoilers for Chapter 5 overblot episodes! Please proceed with caution~ (I'm not sure whether or not I portrayed him accurately...)

His head throbbed in pain and his body felt sore. What happened? He placed a hand on his forehead and squeezed his eyes shut, struggling to regain consciousness.

When he opened his eyes, the blurry sight of the destroyed Coliseum surrounded him. After a long pause, he opened his mouth to speak:

"Why am I here?"

A soft laugh was let out by the voice he adored with his heart, "Vil...you're finally back...thank the Great Seven...you're back."

A loud thump was then heard, followed by the shout of Ace, Epel, and Kalim:

"[Name]!"

Their voices were laced with worry and fear as a stampede of footsteps approached him.

"Wake up, [Name]! Wake up!" Ace shouted, "I know you're stronger than this!"

Vil's vision finally focused. When he lifted his head towards the commotion before him, he wished that he stayed unconscious.

You were sprawled on the floor, motionless at his feet, with Ace attempting to shake you awake.

"Their pulse is fleeting." Jamil noted, "Seems as though we were a second too late."

A second too late...

The wind tousled his hair and whistled in his ears, as if it was whispering ridicules and curses, chanting that it was he who did it.

Vil cursed at himself for letting his emotions fly off and into the dark tumbling depths of insanity. He broke his promise to you. He broke his oath of protecting you from harm.

"The fairest one of all"...he could feel the title fall from his name. He suddenly felt repulsive, ugly, and good for nothing but his looks.

With a heavy heart, he stood up and closed the gap between him and the group, his stride forgetting his usual grace.

"Vil?" Ace called out when the housewarden knelt at your side.

Vil placed a hand over your chest and was met with the ephemeral thumping of your heart.

It was his fault that you were like this.

His fingers trailed up to your neck; there were bruises on your throat, creating purple splotches and lines that fit his hands perfectly; a wave of guilt washed over him.

"Oh my...what's with all this?"

Everyone's heads turned towards the voice and were met by the sight of Diasomnia's housewarden.

Ace quickly filled Malleus in on the situation that occurred and the fae nodded thoughtfully before speaking again:

"I see, so that's what happened. It is best to usher them to the infirmary before things get any worse."

Jamil volunteered to carry you to medical attention and quickly headed off before Vil could muster up a retort.

"As for the Coliseum, I shall take care of it. You owe me one, Schoenheit," Malleus said, putting his hands up in preparation for a spell.

"Come, return from whence you came!"

Just like that, the arena was molded back into its former shape as if it traveled back in time.

Vil hastily excused himself from the group and rushed to the academy's infirmary. By the time he reached the destination, his breathing was labored and he was more than positive that he lost his composure, however, he had other things to worry about, dignity be damned.

When the housewarden opened the door, Jamil had already left. Vil's heels clicked gently on the ground as he walked over to your sleeping form and seated on the chair next to you, being cautious to not disturb your slumber. He sighed at the sight of your closed eyes and gentle complexion without your usual seriousness.

Finally able to rest, he laid his head on an empty spot of your bed and closed his eyes.

...

The setting sun shone on your eyes, interrupting your rest. As you sat up to stretch, you felt a hand rest on your stomach. You looked to your side and saw Vil, laying his head on the edge of the bed.

He looked so peaceful, such a contrast to his overblot state. You smiled to yourself and gently brushed his bangs out of his face. He stirred at the action, startling you, causing you to pull your hand back.

"[Name]?"

Your smile grew wider at the sound of his voice, "Vil, you're alright. I'm glad." your voice was raspy and weak and you still felt the lingering tightness in your throat.

The housewarden was silent for a second before he let out a rare genuine smile, "I'm glad you're alright."

Vil sat up and gingerly embraced you as if you would break from any harsh movement. You were caught off guard but quickly returned the hug.

"Do you detest me for my actions?" he asked.

You chuckled at his question, "Why would I be?"

"...I harmed you; I just about took your life away."

"As if that would take away my love for you."

You laughed at your own cheesy line; you could feel Vil smile as he kissed your temple.

Vil pulled away and pet your head, "You're quite the funny one, potato." he said with a smirk.

You playfully pouted at the nickname, "You know, I would prefer it if you called me by my name like previously."

"I rather fancy the nickname I gave you; I don't see anything wrong with it."

You rolled your eyes, "Oh shush you..." you said, grabbing the necktie of his uniform and pressing a clumsy kiss on his lips.

When you pulled away, you laughed at his unguarded surprise before he stole a kiss from you, startling you in return.

It was his turn to laugh at you, "Don't bask in your victory for long, I bite back."

You smiled in defeat, "Okay, okay, I had fun while it lasted. I love you, Vil."

"I love you too...[Name]."

I got'chu Anon! Happy Pride and it's not cringey at all!

If you want a Pride Interaction/Headcanon: Here!

Idia Shroud × Bi Gender Neutral Reader

Idia read the text near midnight, as he does most notifications this late at night. It's not that you weren't important, but some days are just too hard to talk or text anyone (no matter how hard Ortho tries)... 

And by the time he read yours he was already feeling a little drained, and the notification scared him a bit as it only showed up asー

🟢 "Idia, I want to tell you somet…"

He deliberates in bed, all by himself as Ortho is in rest mode, and he opens it finally after maybe ten minutes. Reading it in the dark of his room, he feels a bit warm and the cold chill slowly leaves him that you aren't dumping him… 

And he slowly starts to text back in his signature style, and just lets his vulnerable side come out. He had been so sensitive all day to everything, and had holed himself away for hours more then usual; and so his curtains were thrown open for you to see himself through the glass as well.

🔵 "Hey, i just got your message and i completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be. I also have something to tell you about myself but i'll tell you later when I'm not half asleep and crashing. Thank you for telling me, it doesn't change a thing and I'm happy to know, love you. Goodnight 💙"

Feelings Thawed

Character; Cater Diamond

Content; Fluff, gender-neutral reader, pining, ice skating (to various degrees of success)

Word Count; 650+

Author's Note; This is a present/thank you to my mutual @i-like-forgs. I hope you enjoy this ice skating scene with Cater, and that you get to skate soon!

As a reminder, do not put my work — or others for that matter — into AI as it steals. Link to Masterlist

The brisk wind bit at your nose, and you pulled up your scarf, trying to keep away the offending wind. Around you it was a winter wonderland, all made possible in the temperate conditions thanks to Cater, who was filming you skating around on the frozen pond’s surface.

“You know,” you hollered, making sure that you caught his attention, “you should join me! It’s fun!” You came to a stop by the pond’s edge, where Cater was standing with a large thermos.

Cater just shot you a wink, handing you the thermos. “This is for you though, silly!” 

He was deflecting, you could tell; behind that bright and cheery smile that he always seemed to wear around others, you knew when there was something off with Cater. You accepted the thermos though, and took a sip of the spicy apple cider, still piping hot.

You gave him a look and pulled lightly on his coat sleeve. “Yes, but it’s more fun with others, come on Cater!” You stepped back onto the ice, and slowly skated near him, waiting with an eager smile.

He looked at you, and then back at the ice, but he stayed standing in the light snow, shooting you that smile. “But I can’t take photos if I’m out there with you!” He scratched at the back of his neck.

Liar. “Cater,” you looped back around and stepped onto the bank, balancing on your skates, “do you not know how to skate?”

Cater’s smile turned sheepish, and his ‘ahahaha, looks like my gig is up’ chuckle made its appearance. He had been found out. “Never got the chance to,” he hid his face slightly in his scarf, either to keep the cold at bay or to hide that his cheeks were turning pink. “So I’d just slow ya down.”

You took his hand into yours, “Well, I could teach you if you wanted. Just a warning though, you’re gonna fall on your butt a lot, might get a few bruises.”

Cater looked down at your entwined hands. Mittens and gloves separated your skin from touching one another, but Cater could swear that he could feel the sensation nonetheless through the layers of fabric.

“You would? Even if I pull you down with me?” 

The last question wasn’t just about the ice skating; Cater didn’t want to force you to do anything that you didn’t want to… and that included being his friend. His heart seemed to whisper stronger emotions though, but he didn’t want to ruin what the two of you had.

You walked him out to the ice, and the both of you swiftly fell down on the ice, hard. But you just laughed and got right back up again, “Well, we did just fall. There isn’t anything scary about falling down; yes it stings and might leave a gnarly bruise, but in order to move forward we have to fall and get back up. So yes, is what I guess I’m saying.”

Cater looked up at you, the sun illuminating you and the snow glittered behind you. You were holding your hand out again, waiting for him. And Cater took your hand. 

It took him a while to get the hang of it, and he fell down quite a bit, but every time he fell down you helped him back up. And by the time that the sun was setting in the west, the both of you were cold, and both were going to wake up tomorrow with some bruises. It was fun though, which is all that mattered… but that whisper in Cater’s heart was by now singing, and maybe he would listen to it, but for now, he was happy with how the way things were, and he wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world, especially with how much you had smiled today. Your smile and knowing that you had fun with him was enough.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grim

You and Grim have always had a lot more in common than either of you really knew,

neither of you has any family

both of you grew up taking care of yourself

and both grew up on the streets with little food.

When Grim first learned of your habit, he just thought it was funny,

he didn't judge you nor did he care why you did it at the time

I mean, he often used his fire against people so he really has no room to talk.

It wasn't until around the end of book 2 that he started to learn more about his little roomie.

Grim was exhausted, after Leona's overblot earlier that day he wanted nothing more than to wrap up in the old dusty blanket the two of you shared. But he couldn't do that without you- not that he'd ever willingly admit it, but he had gotten used to sleeping with your small arms wrapped around him and he quite enjoyed it- but that's not the point.

He has no clue where you are, he walked with you into Ramshackle a little while ago but hasn't seen you since. With a defeated sigh he stomped back into your shared room having given up looking for you and decided to just suck it up and try and sleep...

sniff

...

sniff

Carefully opening his eyes, Grim looked around the room to try and find the source of the sniffling. He nearly started crying out himself when he realized the quiet weeping was coming from under the bed. The last thing he was expecting to see under the bed when he eventually gathered the courage to look, was his young companion curled in on themself, their small form shaking either from the crying or maybe due to the constant chill that always lingered in the poorly insulated house, perhaps it was both.

"Hey, kid-" even though he kept his voice to a whisper he still managed to startle the small human. "...um...you alright..?" There was a twinge of guilt in Grim that he couldn't ignore when he saw their messy face.

You didn't answer, only staring at the firey creature, with big eyes that shined bright with the reflection of Grim's flams and a messy wet face. He never really expected a response, you were never much of a talker, but he was a little hopeful.

"I can't believe I'm doing this.." Grim grumbled in defeat when that guilty feeling in his chest won and he grabbed the blanket and pillow off the bed and climbed under the bed next to you. Before you could react, he pushed the pillow toward you and shimmied the blanket on you, and laid under it right next to you.

That night was when he learned about your short life before Twisted Wonderland,

that you had no family, and you lived on the streets

he was able to connect the dots as to why you always bite people.

"So you bite people that you think will hurt you, or others?"

"...yeah?...I guess...."

The two of you fell asleep under the bed that night, but don't worry, the ghost found you and pull you both back onto the bed

making sure to tuck you in.

After that, Grim was noticeably a lot more protective and worried a lot more about you

he had taken it upon himself to make sure you were ok and safe and that you knew

he didn't want you to feel the need to bite people anymore

no matter how funny it was.

"Hey! Kid- What I say about biting people!? If someone makes you feel uneasy come to the great and powerful Grim! I'll roast 'em for ya."

Ace

Ace found it funny, be it a bit weird, when you bit people

but was extremely annoyed when you bit him.

It had to have been about the beginning of book 3 when Ace was informed of your reasoning.

"Ugghh..." Ace ground as he leaned his forearms on the Lounge countertop, exhausted from all the work he was forced to endure as punishment. Looking to his left he saw Grim uncharacteristically focused as he scrubbed the ever-growing dish pile.

"What's up with you?" He questioned, grabbing a dish to scrub so as to not face one of the Leech brother's punishments for slacking off. Ace was met with silence from the glowing cat-monster-thing. "Hey! Twisted Wonderland to Grim~ You there? ...what's up with you?..."

Grim was pulled out of his thoughts when Ace's hand came into his line of sight. "Huh? What 'cha say?"

Ace sighed, "I said, What up with you? You seem more distracted than normal"

"Oh... uh.. I was just..." Grim trailed off, searching for the words, but Ace took quick notice of the lack of snap back to his 'distracted' comment. "...Do you think they're okay? Yuu... I mean.."

Ace was taken aback by Grim's voiced worry for you. Yeah, he had taken notice of the small monster's growing protectiveness and worry of you during the past couple of weeks, but hearing him openly express it was... out of character for the creature.

"Well yeah of course they are. Besides if they're in a pinch, we know they'll just bite their way out of it." Ace lightly chuckled, expecting Grim to do the same. Only to be met with a curt nod and a quiet "...yeah. I guess..." and silence. Ace decided not to push it any longer...

That interaction stayed with Ace for the next couple of days

he wouldn't admit it but, he was slightly worried,

he could tell something had happened.

Until he was given some clarification a few days after when he got the chance to talk to you privately.

Ace found the small violent child sitting alone on a bench in the courtyard eating an apple he assumed they managed to get from one of the many trees. Taking the chance of a biting, he sat next to them which they took quick notice of, and stopped eating, looking up at him expectantly. If he didn't know better he would have said their big eyes were full of adorable childhood innocence, but he did know better, at least... that's what he thought.

"Soooo... how have you been?.." Ace had no clue what to say, and he could tell the kid knew that too due to the skeptical look they gave him. Taking a deep breath, be decided to just be blunt instead of beating around the bush.

"Ok- I'll just cut to the chase. What the hel- heck.." Ace sighed at the unintentional correction of himself, not liking that he unconsciously followed Riddle's rule of not cussing around the little shit, while he was not even around not less! *cough* um- anyway,,, "Just...what happened with you and Grim?" they tilted their small head in confusion "You know, he's gotten.. I think protective of you let's say and is worrying a lot more over you. I mean, just a few days ago he was asking if I thought you were okay while we were at the lounge."

Ace glanced down at them, not really expecting the surprised flustered look that was on their face. He found it... almost adorable, and he had a sudden urge to pat their head and pinch their cheek for some reason?

"...I think.. it might have something to do with what we talked about a few weeks ago.." Their small voice barely made it to Ace's ears, like they were talking more to themself than him.

"What did you talk about..?" Ace's tone was softer as his curiosity peaked, but a worrying feeling also grew alongside it.

And that my dear reader, is how Ace Trappola's heart grew two sizes bigger

I kid, I kid

kinda.

But that is how he learned of his small friend's life, and subsequently, their reasoning for their biting.

He had a twinge of guilt in his chest listening to their story, and he did give in to the urge to pat their head

it was really the only way he could think of comforting you in that moment.

After that, he started seeing Yuu in a new light,

instead of a little shit that he kinda wanted to punt

he started seeing an actual kid, and a scared one at that

Ace also understood Grim protectiveness and worry.

...He may have felt the same..

There was a growing feeling in his chest that made him want to keep that small content smile on your face for as long as he could.

Deuce

Deuce has always had a sense of duty when it came to Yuu

he thought he saw his younger self in them and, he felt he had to be a good role model for them.

He found out only a couple days after Ace.

Deuce stared at the sheet of paper on the desk in frustration, he had no clue what the answer to the written question was, with what little free time for studying he had he did his best to memorize the book, but that didn't work. He especially couldn't figure it out the constant clicking coming from the fire monster next to him.

After the test was finished Deuce tried to talk to Grim and ask him about the clicking, but the small creature quickly left as soon as he could, and Deuce followed soon after. He followed Grim out of the classroom and down the hall a bit unit the monster spotted the small child sitting against the wall, playing with their now untied bow.

"There you are! I thought I told you to wait right outside the classroom." Grim huffed as he made his way next to them, grabbing the long fabric and neatly tying it back around their wrist. Yuu wasn't allowed to take any of the tests or anything like that, they were only permitted to sit in on lectures and answer a couple questions from the professors. Deuce had too started to take notice of the difference in Grim's behavior toward the little kid in the past few weeks. At first, he didn't think much of it, barely even noticing until Ace pointed it out a little while ago. He didn't see any problem in it, but he would be lying if he said he wasn't curious about the cause.

Deuce continued to watch the duo's interaction before they walked down the hall toward the next class.

Deuce decided the best course of action was to talk to Ace and try to make a plan

but when he went to the redhead, all he got from him was a sigh and instruction to talk to you himself

he was confused but did as he was told and looked for you the next day.

Deuce sighed in relief when he saw Yuu trying to climb a tree in the courtyard, seemingly trying for an apple. Walking up behind them, he reached for an apple and placed it in their small hands, which they happily accepted. As they were eating the red apple, Deuce took the chance to talk.

"Hey Yuu, could I ask you a few questions?" He spoke in the soft voice he always used with them as he knelt down to their height. They glanced at the teen and nodded.

"Well, I've noticed that Grim has been acting a bit weird...and Ace too.. now that I think about it... Do you know anything about that? I originally asked Ace about it, but he just told me to talk to you..." Deuce trailed off, trying to connect what he could and figure it out himself. A part of him didn't think Yuu would know anything or even have noticed anything, they were a little kid after all.

"oh.." Deuce looked back at you, expectantly waiting for your answer "It might have somethin' to do with what I told them a little while ago,,, but I'm not really sure why they're acting weird.." He was caught off guard, that was probably the longest sentence you've used, with him at least. Deuce leaned towards you so he could hear your small voice better.

Deuce was not expecting the explanation Yuu gave him

he felt guilty for thinking they were just a misbehaving child like he was.

Tears spilled out of his eyes and he pulled them into an almost bone-crushing hug

he refused to leave their side for a long while after that, even trying to stay at Savanaclaw with them and Grim.

He still wants to be the best role model he can be for you, that never changes.

Ruggie

Ruggie saw a lot of himself in Yuu, but couldn't quite place why? other than the aggressive biting and love for food

but he didn't question it much, not thinking it was of any importance and not his business

besides, he thought of them as somewhat of an annoyance for the first month or so of school so he didn't care much to figure it out.

But he was soon given that explanation,

around the end of book 3, shortly before winter break.

It was the last day of Yuu's stay at Savanaclaw and they had been helping out Ruggie a bit with some of his chores. Right now they were helping him hang the laundry on the wire to dry, 'helping' as in they handed him the clips and sometimes articles of clothing.

"Why do we hang 'em?" "So they dry." "Why do they dry? and how?"

Yuu was uncharacteristically talkative today, it kind of made sense, they were at that age where they asked questions about everything cause they didn't know anything, and he was doing something that they may have never seen before.

They continued to ask questions and Ruggie continued to answer them, with Yuu following him all throughout the day. He didn't really mind, some of the kids back home would do the same thing so he was pretty used to this. That all lead to them to the dorm kitchen later in the day, helping Ruggie make Leona's dinner. Ruggie would tell Yuu what to grab for him and they would oblige and ask what it was for.

"Grab the seasoning that has a red cap, looks a little bit like tea and smells like the forest mixed with pepper." Ruggie instructed, not looking up from the bowl

"R..Ruos....Ruse..murry....?" Ruggie turned toward them, surprised by their trying to read the name, and was met with their expectant eyes waiting for confirmation, to which he nodded and took the seasoning.

"Were you trying to read the label?" Ruggie asked, "Yeah.." Yuu confirmed "Huh... Well, good job. You were close, it's pronounced 'Rosemary'" They only nodded and continued to wait for the next instruction.

Yuu trying to read the label lasted for a little while until Ruggie got curious as to how they got so good at pronouncing them. Well pronouncing them for their age, they weren't supposed to start learning to read for about another year. Of course, there's nothing bad about starting early, it's just strange...

"Hey Yuu, where did you learn to read so well?" Ruggie leaned his side to the counter, turning his full attention to them while the food cooked. "Is one of the students teaching you? or maybe one of the teachers?"

"Hm?...No, there was justa' bunch-ah bottles like these in the dumpster I stayed next to for a lil while...an I heard a lotta people say the names too." Ruggie was taken aback by the implications they gave, and before They told him anymore, he started to connect the dots on almost everything about Them, having had a similar childhood. Out of curiosity, he decided to press further into Yuu's life before Twisted Wonderland.

That evening, Leona's food was a bit burnt due to all of Ruggie's attention being placed on Yuu and their story.

From that point on he took them under his wing in a sort

he would teach them all about how to cook when he could, and would take them with him when he'd go looking for ingredients in the forest behind Ramshackle to teach about how they could be used.

He offered to let them stay in his neighborhood over the winter break, but they had declined in favor of staying at NRC with Grim

to which he accepted their answer and left them with a head pat.

Ruggie sees a lot of his younger self in Yuu, maybe that's why he wants to take care of them as much as he can...

Y/N, looking at Azul’s baby picture: Oh wow, you were so shaped. So squishy and soft. Full of so much chub to love.

Azul: What are you talking about?? I was a fat, ugly octopus!

Y/N: Fat? Yes. Ugly? No. You were a proper butterball, of whom I would have held and kneaded like dough. Bake you right into an adorable cutiepie.~

Azul: I don’t know what is wrong with your brain and eyes, but I most certainly was not adorable as a kid! Now give me that- *tries to swipe back the picture*

Y/N, dodging him: Nope. You were lovable and round and oh-so baby.~

Azul: I was unlovable! Not like I am now!

Y/N: Oh shut up, that’s just the insecurities and unresolved childhood trauma talking!

Azul: My younger self would ink himself if he saw me now!

Y/N: You peaked in your childhood and will never reach that same level of endearment until you reclaim the chub you so foolishly threw away.

Azul: . . .

Y/N: Your childhood longing is calling, Azul. Answer it.

[Jade and Floyd watching this all go down in the doorway]

Floyd, shoveling popcorn into his mouth: Yeah, Azul, answer it!

Jade: Yes, heed their words, Azul, so that we can partake in your chub too.~

"Stop the wedding!!"

So you get to see NRC food fighting RSA in the end lol Yan! NRC vs Yan! RSA x GN Isekai'd Player (Self-aware)

All the people inside the cafeteria turned their attention to you, an isekai'd player.

"(Name)!!" Idia beamed in tears, finally someone saving him! ... wait, someone? Oh no no no no! You are not just 'someone'!! Why did he even bother troubling you to this extent? He should have just kissed the bride!!!

"Make it right in time, you got me, Ace?" "Thank you for kicking me like a barrel toward the ghosts, pal," Ace replied dejectedly but posed no annoyance at all.

"Potato, since when do you have the funds to get yourself such a nice suit?" Vil questioned as he inspected your overall. The makeup and hairdo were not done to the utmost perfection but he can let it slide because anything on you equals absolute beauty.

"Oh, this? So you are smart enough to realize Crowley won't cover MY suit! I mean, he was trying teeth and nails to not let me join Ace and Co!"

"At least he does something right for the first time," Leona added. "White suits you though I thought you'd surely go with Black as usual?" Trey cocked his head to the side questioningly.

"Look, this is what Neige lent me. And all his attires are almost pristine white! I'm telling ya'!" At that statement, you saw Vil twitch despite not being able to move, he must have been very pissed at the mention of Neige's name alone.

"Originally I planned on taking Cheny'a's but I realized how eccentric his taste is so I decided to go with Neige. The RSA students are kind enough to assist Neige in tailoring it to my size too! Got them right in time before Crowley could shoo me!"

"Dude, even the RSA knows how to respect them, I don't know if I should be angry or nah but it certainly leaves a bad aftertaste seeing them wearing what RSA makes for them." Cater whispers something to the person next to him, inaudible to your ears.

"What do you say if we steal the suit and then burn it down in front of them after we are done here? I'd like to give them a nice thank you hug too while we are at it." "And we should leave them some of my... flowers collection too. This alone should be enough to show our gratitude right?"

"I'd say we should try giving them a proper form of token of gratitude too, how about Master Lilia's cooking?" Sebek added with a grin, he had his fair share of Lilia's cooking to the point he'd like to share it with the others.

"Oh? Then I'd have to make sure to add extra 'love' into it." He replied, this time intending to poison people so its horrifying taste was multiplied at natural without him realizing it.

"Wait, why would we even bother giving them a handmade cooki-" Jack was immediately silenced by Cater's eerie smile. He had his fair share and he knew they meant nothing well from it at all.

"Hey Ace, do something! Stop throwing all your work on prefect!" Deuce yelled by the sideline, ready to chew his ears off.

"I agree, you shouldn't let someone magic-less handle this handful situation alone, get a hold of yourself right now will you, Ace?" Azul scowled and started to usher Ace into work.

"Dude! Now all of you are cornering me?" "You haven't finished, Ace?!"

And Riddle's voice was all it took to make Ace cowered like a puppy. Rook shook his head in disappointment, this had taken way longer than the original gameplay.

"Hurry! We should wrap things up as though we are changing a dirty tablecloth into a new one!" Epel yelled out rather... unique lines. Was he trying to be as poetic as Rook? If anything, both Rook and Vil said nothing regarding this.

"Riiiiighhhhtttt, I'm kinda checked out now, to be honest." Idia's eyes immediately widened, not you too?!

Just before the other could chant another "Smooch the bride", you immediately lunged toward the bride. All those gym class training paid off! Basically, this and that until the ghost inflated.

And instead of Rook ordering you and Epel around, you took the steering wheel before anyone could. "Move yer' ass you glorified wood logs! Move move move!"

The lucky person is the person who gets to feel you dragging them. Absolute win!

--

"Urgh, I'm so gonna have phasmophobia now." Idia rolled his eyes as the ghosts departed but to be honest? He was happy to see you barging into the cafeteria like a knight in shining armor for him! (It was mostly the others fighting lol)

Idia was taken by surprise the moment your hand smacked his back. "Would you look at it, the star of the show, a handsome groom adorned in black! You look positively breathtaking, senior Idia."

"Eep-! Oh no, they have graced me with their words that are enough to deafen me! What should I do? How should I show them just how grateful I am to be even considered by them???"

"What did you say? I couldn't hear you really well." "Well, brother said that-" "N-n-no! Nothing! I uh... am thankful... for your assistance." He answered bashfully, his hair tip turned into a shade of pink.

"Now now potato, it's time to change, wearing that must have been uncomfortable right?" Vil immediately pulled you away from the pink introvert. "No...? Neige said that it's meant to be comfortable and it's true!" "Well, we have something even wayyyy more comfortable for you, shrimpy! Come on now, let's take it off and dress you up in something else!"

--

Lilia was leading everyone with a basket of something, a speaker in one hand and Neige's suit in the other hand, "Hey you RSA whippersnappers! Get down!"

The head mage was coincidentally away that day and it allowed the NRC students to lead a protest in front of the academy's gate.

Lilia threw the white suit onto the ground while Leona whistled, signaling Rook to shoot an arrow of fire toward it like an Olympic grand opening. (What a duo.)

"Yeah! Eat this you good for nothing!" Cater and Ruggie immediately took out the pie from Lilia's basket and threw it right onto the students' face. Kalim was generous enough to sponsor lots of baking materials for Lilia with Jamil assisting with the baking. It was badly burnt but still hard as a rock.

Cheny'a was careful enough to avoid Trey and Riddle while Vil was feeling rather generous in feeding Neige~ Oh, and Malleus is always bullseye in his shots, hitting everyone down in no time. He was pretty pissed (sulking) that he was not invited to join your fun. Silver was not being merciful too, he didn't fall asleep at all during this whole thing!.

Rollo was feeling rather grateful but also sad that you did not come to him to ask for his help :( And Crowley just watched everything from the sidelines while praying that nothing bad will be sent to him after this. Well, he's happy with how bright his students are.

"( – ⌓ – ) ⎯⎯ he lets you draw on his skin, yeah thats pretty much it.

ft. malleus, vil

malleus

it was... a breach of your patience.

the lesson, was awfully boring. the more you listened to the apparent 'heroic' doings of certain individuals. the more it strips away your attentiveness to the words spilling out of professor trein's mouth. no matter how many times you will your ears to make out the incoherent lecturing of the man... it remains deaf.

so you decide to sate said boredom.

how? of course you need to bother your seatmate!

your intentions remained within the circle of yourself of course. your eyes stuck to the stray marker over your paper so you silently twisted the cap off and scribbled on your paper—then it was your palm—and now, malleus' arm.

"child of...?" man. malleus finishes in his mind, his attention suddenly snapped away at the sudden tug of his arm. definitely not his own decision to even make it move in the first place. usually it would remain stiffly beside his body like usual and even if someone tried to pry it to them it would remain still. but without his attention, his body lets you.

without another word. you peel open his fingers, palm open to you and it's a notion he allows. and he stays silent when you tug his gloves off. perhaps with a curious huff, malleus drifts closer to you. to accommodate your actions that he's yet to get an explanation for.

... and suddenly there's very bright flowers drawn on his palm.

said owner of the palm might just be toe darkest person in the room so it's quite out of place.

but it's from you so he likes it.

he peeks at it, with a fond smile on his face. I should enchant it to remain there forever. he thinks to himself, the curve of his lips growing wider at his thoughts, like he'd proud of the idea. the idea of being able to carry around something made exclusively by you might as well shove him into a cannonball and send him to cloud nine.

it's adorable. you're adorable.

his world grows a little more blue the more he stares at you. and if it weren't for the searing glances the professor sends your way malleus would just let his eyes engrave you into his memory forever, so he laments over it and reluctantly peels his gaze off you. mind speaking a thousand memories, the very same reason he somehow can't hear anything trein says.

you draw a strange looking lizard beneath his ring finger, one that looks a little like him and he thinks that you're asking him for marriage.

that can be arranged... he ponders, oblivious.

vil

drawings, doodles, painting— art. a reflection of the soul.

vil is great at makeup.

every brush on your face, a step to beauty. that is his reflection. you are his soul. he wants to make you look—no, make you feel like you're beautiful cause the canvas he's standing in front of is his greatest piece of art, he'd want to put you on the tallest pedestal there is. the grandest one just so the rest knows your beauty is parallel to none, something they can see and admire but not reach.

but he also wants to keep you in his own room, because only he knows what he felt when he painted you. only he should be the one given the grace.

this... he doesn't know what to consider.

perhaps vil should be bothered, if not then a little peeved at the several colors across his skin. a myriad of doodles, some words, and some simple drawings. a poor portrait of him is drawn next to one he assumes yours, the 'fairest' word on the right side of his hand, and flowers.

he's sure though. you're definitely no artist.

the thought cracks a smile at him, and you steal a glance midst the cool tip of the pen dancing along his skin. "I'd thought you wouldn't even let me do this," you admit, chair having been moved over closer to him so you wouldn't have any leaning problems. a suggestion by vil you gratefully took up, though you doubt it was just another excuse to have you closer.

"why?"

"dunno," you shrug. "it looks unseemly compared to you."

he huffs, flashing you a light smirk. "so my face is, hmmm..." vil ponders for a moment, and your face twists to the realization that you possibly just exposed what you think. but you suppose it isn't really a problem since it was basically common sense that vil is...

"gorgeous." you finish for him.

his aura brightens. (probably will be for the rest of the week.)

your hand retracts from him, the marker gripped between your fingers. and he takes a look at your 'art.' he doesn't know if he should consider it as one since there are a heap of sloppy lines, and the color bleeds into his skin. some smudges that you accidentally brushed against that makes it seem like a messy picture of chaos.

vil strives for perfection, but it's only natural there are flaws. to love oneself, you must love all parts. and to love you, he loves whatever the ink on his skin is.

well, what the heck.

"pass it to me," he stretches his hand, and you quirk a brow. questioning but curious so he indulges you. "I'll show you how it's done."

note. ngl idk what I wrote for vil it's currently 12 AM rn ☠ <- newer note, this has been rotting in my drafts for weeks and I couldn't decide whether to post it cause I wasn't sure about vil's but here hehehe
