#we give jade too much credit and floyd too little

Ooo here’s an interesting thought for you. So you know how, in the interspecies romance, you mentioned how Jade and Floyd would still kinda ‘bully’ a potential partner? Can you imagine if that person were an overthinking type? Like the ‘mean’ interactions make them think that either of the tweels just do NOT like them.
Basically misunderstandings abound.
Floyd gifts them a tooth; are they next?? Jade gives a poisonous (but pretty/rare) mushroom; is this a threat??
Could also just be a person who has a difficult time interpreting social cues, or flirting.
But either way, the poor object of their interest starts avoiding them and is so confused by the mixed signals. So they go up to Azul or something and ask if they’ve made the respective tweel angry or something. Because they thought they were getting along???
Just a poor confused bean.
Anyway sorry that was long but I just thought it was an interesting concept. 😂
As someone whose autism severely impacted their understanding of social norms, I feel this on a deeply spiritual level. In the partner's defense, the twins are just generally intimidating and take delight in scaring their peers. They say the most out of pocket shit and it's hard to tell when they're being serious or joking (they also have a tad bit of the tism). Poor Azul would be so tired of having to deal with a potential eel mate asking him to call off his right/left-hand men, they don't have a contract with him anymore, so why are they threatening them with loose teeth and poisonous mushrooms?? Azul!! Make them stop!!!
(He briefly considers staying out of it. It would do them some good to suffer through their pining until they have the common sense to look up human dating and woo methods. But they are his friends that he actually cares quite deeply for his employees whose moods are affecting productivity, so he'll explain it to you, and then go give them a good wack in the head for being stupid.)
Floyd is the more likely of the two to not look up human courting and dating methods. He's more of the kind of guy that's hoping you will get what he means by vibe alone. Like that manifesting stuff Cater goes on about. You'll have to be particularly perceptive to notice that he squeezes you a bit softer, looks at you with hearts in his eyes a bit longer than more, and notice that he slips up and calls you by your name instead of Shrimpy; he's surprisingly subtle with his growing affections. Jade would have definitely research ahead of time, plus he's very perceptive of others and their emotions around him. He'll probably be able to tell that you're not getting his advances, but on the other hand, it would be so funny to see how long it takes for you to catch on. He'll make fun of you in the future on how you “strung along a poor eel's heart, waaahhhh!” while he pined after you with foraged and handmade gifts, classic merfolk courting! That, or you accidentally start dating/a friends-with-benefits situation, both of you misunderstanding the other's intentions. It would take some incredible denseness and misunderstanding on both your parts for that to happen, which is a lot easier than you think when it comes to Jade “Keep them Guessing” Leech. Truly, a man can be too confident with regard to love, please tell him this or else you'll spend at least four months in a relationship before realizing it.

SR Leona Kingscholar Halloween Personal Story: Part 2
"Sorry I couldn't entertain"
(Part 1) Part 2
Tumblr media
[The Other Dimension – Sparkling Chamber]
Leona: A short time before Halloween Week, hm…
Leona: Now that you mention it, I feel like I vaguely recall Floyd showing up during magift practice.
Tumblr media
FLASHBACK: [Sports Field]
[whistle blows]
Leona: Alright, break for five minutes.
Epel/Ruggie: [gasps, pants]….
Epel: Ah~~~That's so frustrating! Even though we went up against Leona-san with five people while he had control of the disc…!
Ruggie: Even after 30 minutes passed, we couldn't even snatch it from him once…
Leona: Are you guys all out of breath just from practicing for only this long? How sad.
Ruggie: You just have too much magical and physical strength, Leona-san! Haahー I'm gonna go drink some water…
Epel: M-Me too…
???: ーAha!! Todo-senpai, you're amazing.
Leona: …
Floyd: I was watching~ You protected that disc all by yourself against so many opponents.
Floyd: I wanna go up against you sometime at your strongest.
Leona: …
Floyd: Hey, let me join the next practice.
Floyd: I think you'd have waaay more fun against me than these little guppies, don’t you?
Leona: …It's been about five minutes.
Leona: Magift Club Members! Break is over!!
Floyd: Eh? Hey, Todo-senpai?
Leona: Everyone, let's resume practice!
Epel/Ruggie: YESSIR!
Floyd: Hey, don't ignore me…!
Tumblr media
[The Other Dimension – Sparkling Chamber]
Leona: (…So basically, I didn't play with him, so he went home and sulked.)
Leona: (Ugh. I can't be expected to babysit kids even here at Night Raven College.)
Leona: …So, club activities are cancelled during Halloween Week, you know.
Leona: Ordinarily, I'm all for them doing their own thing during practice, but before Halloween, I end up getting pretty passionate about training.
Leona: It's possible that I unintentionally ignored Floyd.
Leona: Sorry I couldn't entertain your precious sibling.
Jade: Oh, no, that should be my line. I apologize that he inconvenienced you by disrupting your practice.
Jade: Floyd is quite partial to strong people. In addition to your being a magift player…
Jade: You are also quite the capable mage, I'm sure he only wished to challenge you with all his abilities.
Leona: You give me too much credit. Even if we were to have an impromptu match, I don't think I can live up to his expectations, you know?
Jade: Fufufu. How humble.
Leona: That's all I can really say. As I said earlier…
Leona: He wasn't any kind of "inconvenience", you see? Does that help to relieve your worries?
Jade: Fufu. Both Floyd and I should thank you for your magnanimous personality.
Leona: Yeah, thanks. I appreciate you praising me like this, but in this case it has nothing to do with me.
Leona: If you're looking to hear something that's helpful to your work, you should hit up someone else.
Jade: Oya, whatever do you mean? I still have not had enough of our discussion, Leona-san…
Leona: You don't get it at all. I'm telling you out of the goodness of my heart.
Leona: Even if you were to continue talking to me, you "won't be able to gather any more information" from me.
Leona: Continuing this conversation will only serve to waste both our time.
Jade: Oya… How vexing.
Jade: I only wished to grow my friendship with you, Leona-san.
Leona: Hah, don't make me laugh.
Leona: If you're that worried about your brother, all you had to do is stay by his side and watch him.
Leona: Your whole purpose of coming to talk to me using your "important family" as an excuse is…
Leona: To feel out my weaknesses, is that right?
Jade: Fufufu... How kind of you to have continued the conversation even with such suspicions.
Leona: Well, it's just a bother to ever be in debt to one of you Octavinelle guys.
Leona: I was just paying you back for this drink you brought me by chatting with you.
Jade: I see. It seems you are one with a keen sense of duty, then. I seem to have learned one thing.
Leona: Yeah, regardless of how I may come off, I actually do have a delicate side. Just leave me be next time.
Jade: Thank you for the entertaining time. Let us talk again sometime soon.
Leona: …What an incorrigible guy.
Leona: [sigh] …How bothersome. I didn't think I'd have to keep an eye out for their intentions even on Halloween.
Leona: …And right when I thought the easy-to-deal-with folks were returned safely, I'm rewarded with this for all my troubles along the way.
Tumblr media
Leona: BOO!

Jade’s head jerked up as you rushed into the infirmary.
“Jade! Are you okay?” you scrambled over to him in worry.
“Hello flower.” he greeted, quite cheerful, despite the fact that his ankle was in a cast. “I’m quite well really.”
You shot a look at his ankle--before you turned to the school nurse. The school nurse gave you a patient smile as they explained what happened. 
“He didn’t break anything. He just twisted it from climbing that mountain today...” The nurse eyed your lover. “in search of mushrooms.”
“I was very successful.” Jade nodded sagely. “Mostro Lounge’s menu will be full with them. Flower, I insist you try them.” You tried to give him a stern look, but his genuine appreciation for mushrooms (of all things! mushrooms!) caused your lips twitch up into a smile.
“So does this mean he doesn’t need to stay in the infirmary?” 
“He doesn’t.” the nurse confirmed. “Unfortunately we currently don’t have any crutches, and Mr. Leech is adamant about not flying--if you could call his brother perhaps? Or Mr. Ashengrotto.” the nurse suggested.
“It’s fine, I can handle it.” you waved a dismissive hand. The nurse arched a brow, and Jade shot you a curious glance--mind finally off mushrooms. 
“Just... make sure he doesn’t put any pressure on his foot.” The nurse said, “we’ll be sending crutches over to his dorm by tonight... or tomorrow afternoon at the latest. I can write you a slip that will allow you to skip some of your morning classes.”
The nurse quickly filled up a form, and you stopped in front of Jade. Your boyfriend eyed you in interest.
“How are you planning on helping me, flower? Floyd or Azul...” 
“It’s fine.” you said dismissively again. “I’ll show you in a bit.” The nurse handed you the note, and you easily leaned forward, and slipped it into Jade’s pocket. (”Don’t lose that!” “Yes, madam~” he had chuckled, and you flushed.) You huffed, and before he could even blink--you easily pulled him up into your arms bridal style. Jade’s eyes widened, and the nurse shrieked in surprise.
“Wait! Put him down!” the nurse squeaked.
“Oh it’s fine. Jade’s actually pretty light.” you shrugged, and with a glance the nurse did notice that you showed no signs of strain. 
“If you’re sure.” the nurse said, flustered.
“Yup. Thank you so much!” you shot the nurse a smile. The nurse went to open the door for you as you left the infirmary with a baffled Jade in your arms.
You turned your head, to see an uncharacteristically surprised expression on Jade’s face. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was slightly agape.
“I didn’t break you, right?” you asked, and he finally blinked. 
“Aa. I just... did not expect you to be this strong, flower.” Jade finally said, his lips curled into a pleasant grin. “I had a general idea since you were always so willing to do the heavy lifting... Have you always been this strong?”
“Yeah.” you shrugged. “People often told me it was unattractive for a girl though. Said something about how it wasn’t cute.” you huffed. “I worried about it before but... I’m learning to accept it about myself.” 
Jade tilted his head, and he raised a hand to cup your cheek gently. His hand moved, and curled under your chin to make your eyes meet his own. 
“I think it’s very attractive.” you flushed, and Jade chuckled lowly. “Everyday I’ve been finding new things to love about you. This one is most definitely today’s ‘new thing’~” You could feel your face heat up even further.
“I--you’re unfair as ever Jade.” you sighed, and he shot you a pleased grin. 
“I’ll make it up with some mushroom risotto.” 
“You’ll have to tell me how to make it. I can’t make you cook in this state.” 
“I injured my ankle, not my hands.” Jade raised a fine brow.
“Yeah but... Let me pamper you.” your voice grew quiet. “Let me do it this time.” Jade laughed gently.
“Very well, milady.” 
-
“WAHAHAHAH! JADE! PFFFT!” 
“What happened Jade--wait, Floyd! Don’t jump--” 
CRASH.
--
Tumblr media
“[Surname]!” you flinched, and turned around. You blinked in surprise as you see Professor Crewel stride up to you whilst he gritted his teeth. 
“What did you do?” Ace whispered. You furrowed your brow and shrugged your shoulders. Nothing came to mind.
“Puppy, you get along with Mr. Floyd Leech, do you not?” 
“I mean... Yeah?” you tilted your head, unsure where this was going.
“Good.” he exhaled. “Get him out of my classroom.” 
“Huh?”
-
“Floyd... please...” 
“Don’t wanna.” His voice was muffled because he had buried his face into his arms. He was seated in the center of the room, curled up. Crewel had pointed at him accusingly, then pointedly at you, before he turned away with a huff.
“Get him out of there before the next class, little puppy... or else...” he had twirled his baton in hand, and uninterested in experiencing whatever Crewel had in mind, you had chosen to speak to Floyd.
“Come on Floyd, please? Let’s go back to your dorm. You could just... sul--rest on your bed instead.” you tried to be gentle as you pulled on the much taller boy’s sleeve.
“You’ll hafta carry me out.” he said--stubborn as ever when he was in one of his moods. Since he couldn’t see your face, you exaggerated your eye roll.
“Fine.” 
Floyd twitched in interest, and shifted his head just a fraction to see you draw close. With surprising strength, you yanked him upright, then swooped him up into your arms--bridal style.
It look a second for what was going on to register in Floyd’s mind, but when it did, he began to flop in your arms. It felt a lot like holding an incredibly huge, and slippery... well... eel? You snickered at your own thought as you tightened your hold on Floyd’s body.
“SHRIMPY!” he wrapped his arms around your neck in excitement, “Shrimpy! You’re carrying me! Look! You’re carrying me!”
“Floyd... I know... I am carrying you.” you said, amused, “don’t move too much because if you accidentally hit me, I’m going to drop you.” At that he calmed down. However, he did not stop his cheerful hum, as he swung his legs in the air. 
You couldn’t help but think how adorable Floyd was in your arms. 
And you were also very pleased that you had easily cheered him up with carrying him like this. 
(You couldn’t say the same for most of the Night Raven College students though.
Floyd, as himself was dangerous enough. 
Floyd, when defending you? He was even worse.
Now they find out that the person everyone assumed was Floyd’s weakness was actually insanely strong enough to bridal carry a 191 centimetre tall menace?
‘Monsters, both of them.’ was the terrified thought of every single NRC student who pressed themselves up against the walls at the sight of you strutting about with Floyd in your arms, barely winded.)
“Shrimpy...” he looked at you with glowing eyes--and your heart felt at ease as you see that Floyd was no longer feeling upset. “How are you carrying me?”
“I’ve always been strong.” you shrugged. 
“You never told me though.” Floyd looked like he wilted at the thought and you couldn’t help but rush to assure him.
“It’s sort of like... when you had to explain magic to me. It’s difficult to explain something you’ve always known you had.” Floyd tilted his head at your response, eyes glimmered briefly in understanding. Floyd had always been smarter than people gave him credit for.
“So, how much more do you think you can carry?” 
“Well I don’t know about that but I can...” you told him how much you were able to lug around back in your world, and a mischievous glow entered Floyd’s eyes.
“I’m not entertaining it.”
“Awww, but shrimpy! It will be worth it!” he pouted, and heart struck by how adorable he looked, you sighed.
“Alright, I’ll hear you out.” 
“Hey, do you think you could carry Jade and I on either of your shoulders?” You paused, and looked at him in a contemplative manner.
-
“What in Atlantis, are you doing?” Azul’s shriek pierced the air. 
“Oh... oh my.” 
“Wahaha! Shrimpy quick! Pick up Azul too!”

Tumblr media
Just as you were about to call out to Jamil, you noticed that his movements weren’t as smooth as it usually was--nor did they have Jamil’s typical grace. You frowned at that.
Jamil had the habit of overworking himself. 
You were worried that he had done so--again.
-
Jamil raised a hand to his head, and sighed. His head pounded--a reminder that he hadn’t gotten enough sleep last night. 
He was lucky that he had enough control of himself that none of the teachers noticed the way his attention slipped. 
No one ever noticed.
Jamil had done his job well--he was ‘normal’ enough in the eyes of his professors and peers that his slightest missteps, and delayed answers were just a part of his ‘regular’ behavior. 
‘I’ll have to convince Kalim to sleep earlier tonight if I want to perform at my one-hundred percent best tomorrow.’ he raised a hand to his temple, and massaged it. His eyes fluttered close as he pressed his knuckles against his forehead--alleviating the irritating feeling even for a little while. 
“--are you okay?”
His eyes snapped open at the sound of your voice, and he instinctively gave you a small smile.
“Ah, [Name].” he nodded his head, “just a slight headache really.” 
“It doesn’t look like a slight headache.” you peered at him thoughtfully. He gazed back at you, confused--did you--?
“Alright, I’m taking you to the infirmary.” you suddenly decided, and Jamil’s eyebrows raised in response. 
“You--I’m fine, [Name].” he let out a soft chuckle. “There’s no need to worry.”
“You aren’t walking like you normally do.” he froze at your observation. “And you keep touching your head too.” you bit your lip, and the worry on your expression made Jamil’s heart skip a beat. “I’m worried Jamil.” 
You--you noticed.
You--you paid attention... to him. 
“You... noticed?” In his surprise, those words slipped out of Jamil’s mouth. You looked at him, and frowned.
“Of course I did--I.. I’m always looking out for you. Now let me take you to the infirmary.” You said firmly. Jamil stared at you--a little dazed, he’s not sure if it’s because he was genuinely not feeling well--or if he was stunned that you had chosen to look out for how he felt.
His feelings had always been second, if not disregarded so--
To know that you were concerned about how he felt... 
It felt...
It felt... good.
When you pulled him into a bridal carry, it pulled him out of his stupor, and he flinched in your arms.
“What the... why are... how are you carrying me?” Jamil--speechless--now wasn’t that a sight to see? He always seemed so prepared, calm, and ready for anything Kalim threw his way. Yet for once, you’ve surprised him--so much so that he showed you such an unguarded expression. Eyes wide, and mouth hung open. You couldn’t help but giggle at it. 
“I’m carrying you because if I don’t physically take you to the infirmary, you won’t go.” you paused, “and I can carry you because I’m just that strong.” 
“That is...” his dazed expression sharpened, “please put me down. I can take care of myself.” 
“No way Jamil, you’re terrible at caring for yourself.” you huffed in response, “so as your girlfriend, it’s my job to carry for you.” He twitched, one of his hands instinctively grabbed for his hood--you could see the slightest red on his cheeks, and that’s enough for you to grin goofily. 
“You always take care of us, Jamil.” you added, “let me take care of you for once.” His flush darkened, and he did his best to hide his face--but unfortunately for him--well, he was in your arms. 
You had a perfect view of his true feelings. 
“Sorcerer...” he cursed softly in embarrassment. 
You had a way with pushing past his defenses with that adorable expression of yours.
“Fine.” he said, grudgingly. “but Kalim better not see... this.” 
“I’ll do my best.” you said, as solemn as possible, despite the wide grin that grew on your face. Jamil pulled up his hood and turned away from your face (as much as possible while in your arms). You tightened your hold on him briefly.
You hoped he understood what you wanted to say--
That you cared about how he felt--and that you always would. 
-
There’s a dramatic gasp from somewhere behind you, and Jamil twitched.
“OH NO! JAMIL! WHAT HAPPENED!” 
Jamil sighed, and sagged in your arms.
“I’m unconscious.”
“Sure, love.”

“Alright, since you all have a pretty good grasp on how to fly, you’re free to do what you want.” Professor Vargas grinned at the elated cheers of his students. “Just don’t get too close to the school or else Professor Trein will have my hide...” 
Epel peered at you.
“You can ride with me if you want.” he offered, but you shook your head.
“We haven’t tackled double riding yet.” you said, and you nervously looked down. “and I prefer my feet on the ground until then.” 
Because you didn’t have magic, and you refused to trust Grim with a broom--you managed to convince Crowley to write Vargas that you weren’t allowed to participate in Flying classes.
That didn’t stop Grim from attempting chaos with Ace and Deuce though.
“If you’re sure.” Epel frowned, “It’s very fun [Name].”
“Yup, I’m sure. Maybe next time? I’ll cheer you on though.” 
That’s how Epel found himself high up in the sky. When he looked down, you immediately noticed and waved up at him enthusiastically. He gave a brief wave back, before he began to play around in the sky. He did quick, full loops that made him laugh in exhilaration. He played around, and tested to see if he could do some tricks from some videos he saw on the MagiCam...
On your end, you couldn’t help but just smile fondly at the way Epel laughed and enjoyed himself in the sky. You felt a little envious--who wouldn’t? While it was sad that you were the only one in the whole school who couldn’t do magic--it was another thing all together when you see Epel smile. 
His smile made all of your negative feelings melt away.
You could content yourself with watching him enjoy himself in the sky. 
‘If I told him he was cute, he would get furious with me.’ you sighed, but you smile anyways, ‘it’s still one of the things I adore about him.’ Your eyes wandered away from Epel as you saw a bunch of your other roughhousing with each other. 
‘Geez...’ You turned your head to Professor Vargas who wasn’t paying attention to the sky. “Professor Vargas.” 
“Hm?” he looked up, only to pale immediately. “Student falling!” You turned your head, and you expected to see the students messing with each other but--
It’s Epel!
You bolted upright. 
One second, Epel was doing tricks in the air--and in the next--he was promptly pushed off his broom. In his surprise, he didn’t even try to grasp at his broom. 
‘Ah, shit.’ 
Epel swore internally. 
“Epel!” He twisted his head in your direction and realized you were running toward him frantically. He panicked as you readied yourself to catch him.
“Wait [Name]--” 
With a hard thud--he fell right into your arms--and you only had to adjust your stance to ensure you wouldn’t fall to the ground as his weight settled in your arms. His eyes snapped open (when had he even closed them?) as he felt your arms wrap around his back and legs. 
“Gotcha.” you sighed in relief, while Epel stared at you--stunned.
“[Name]...” he looked at you with wide eyes, and an open mouth. You’re sure if Vil was here, he would get ticked off that Epel was using his face for such a terrible expression. “you--how’d you--” 
“Never mind that.” you exhaled. You fell to your knees as the adrenaline rush left you. “Are you alright?”
“Yeah.” Epel said, baffled. “I... since when were you so strong?” 
“I always was. I just... never really... thought to say anything?” you shrugged. 
“Why didn’t you tell me?” you looked at him, a little nervous. You knew how much Epel wanted to be taken seriously, and it was partly the reason why you didn’t want to tell him that you were insanely strong. 
“Well... I... that is... I was worried what you would think.” Epel studied your expression, before a warm smile spread on his lips.
“You know what I think?”
“What?” 
“We could train together!” when you looked up, you noticed that Epel had a particularly fired up expression on his face. 
“You’re not mad...?”
“No?” Epel tilted his head, “I’m happy! This means you could give me tips on how to be stronger! We can be strong together!” Epel smiled widely. You’re struck by how beautiful this boy was (thought let him never know you though that). 
“I... yes!” 
Epel gave you a sweet smile in response. 
You felt your heart warm at the tenderness in his expression--a sight he rarely showed anyone... anyone except you, of course. 
“Together alright?”
“Together!”

"Mon amour, quick~ Catch me~” 
You immediately dropped the book, and prepared yourself.
In the next second--Rook landed in your arms. He turned to you with a pleased glow. 
“So you are strong enough to carry me~” he wrapped his arms around your shoulders. “Fascinating~” 
“Yeah... I guess so.” you looked at him, perplexed.
“So why the sudden jump into my arms?” 
“I just felt like it.” Rook hummed, as he tucked some of your hair behind your ear. 
“Oh well... can I let you go?” you asked, your eyes fell on the book that had toppled to the ground at Rook’s sudden attack. 
“Hm... no.” Rook’s lips curled up. 
“Fair enough.” you sighed. “If I bend down, do you think you could pick up the book and put it back up on the self then?”
“Oh? You think you could do that?” there’s an interested but knowing gleam in Rook’s eyes. Likely chance, he already knew that much about you--and was just waiting to see if his assumptions were correct.
“I can try.” you offered, as you began to bend slightly for him to grab the book. 
Most people found talking to Rook unnerving--primarily because there was always that certain... analytical look in his eyes. It would always feel as if he was studying you--trying to understand... all of you, really. 
“Come to think of it...” Rook turned to look at you, patient. “How’d you figure out that I could do this?” You moved your arms slightly. 
Rook only smiled in response. 
You stared back--halfway between amused and confused. 
“...”
“...”
“...?”
“....~” 
“Yeah okay fine.” you sighed, and his smug aura somehow intensified...? “I guess I don’t want to know.”
There were a lot of things you still didn’t know about Rook. 
Despite his... ah... love for learning(?) about other people--he was tight lipped about himself. Even to you.
“I’m glad we came to an agreement.” he patted your shoulder. When he moved to get out of your arms, your grip tightened and his eyes slid open to look at you.
Even if he was private about himself though...
You made it your personal mission to understand him--to learn more about him. 
“Ohohoh~ Mon amour~ What are you doing~?” 
“I think I’ll hold onto my boyfriend a little longer, you know~?” Your lips curled. “It’s time for me to learn about you.” 
“You can try.” Rook smirked back. 
That’s what he liked about you after all.
You didn’t think he was strange. You thought of his actions as a challenge to learn about him--just as he learnt about you.

Tumblr media
“Hello [Name]~” 
You looked up to see that Lilia hung, suspended upside down in midair again. His headphones were on, he had his controllers in hand--and he seemed to be playing a first person magic shooter game. He floated lower, just so you could reach him--and give him a greeting kiss on the cheek. You turned to the monitor curiously as Lilia finished beating up another player. 
“How are you playing that upside down?”
“I call it upping the difficulty level~” Lilia laughed, as his thumbs moved across the controller in rapid speed.
“Aren’t you worried you’ll fall?” 
“Nonsense.” Lilia shook his head, his short hair fell around his face. “I’ll handle it.”
“Right. I’ll be back with food then.” 
“Please get me tomato juice!” he called out as he focused back on the screen. He floated low, as he planned to sit himself down onto the couch upon your return. 
“Who was that?” a voice on the call asked.
“Wouldn’t you like to know.” Lilia said, and the voice that had ask--Idia that is--huffed in response. 
“Could it be... your mom?” Lilia chuckled at that, but not for the reasons that his teammates believed. 
“Could be a sister.” another one suggested.
“Or maybe... a girlfriend?” 
“WHAT!” 
At the suddenness of the shout, Lilia flinched in surprise and dropped down onto the ground. He had pretty sensitive ears--and since Idia (not that knew LilV and Lilia Vanrouge were one and the same--) had the bright idea to shout into the mic--it definitely messed with Lilia’s concentration. 
However, instead of falling down to the ground--Lilia found himself caught... in your arms. You looked at him with a ‘I told you so’ expression, only to be caught up by his expression.
He gazed at you with surprise written all over his expression--from the way his brows were raised, to the glitter in his eyes and his slack jaw. It was certainly one you’ve never seen before--because there was little that could surprise Lilia these days. When he blinked away his stupor, he noticed the curiosity on your expression. ‘Why did you fall?’ your expression asked. 
He pointed out at Idia’s name on the screen. Your brows rose.
“Idia yelled into the mic.” Lilia explained with a light chuckle after he made sure his mic was muted. He bore no ill will to the Ignihyde Dorm Leader. In fact, Lilia found him absolutely hilarious. 
“They can’t seem to believe I have a lover~” Lilia giggled, and you shook your head--amused.
“--THAT’S TOTALLY UNFAIR.” Idia whined, and their other teammates either agreed or laughed along. “If there’s a god out there... please nuke LilV. He’s gotten too lucky--” 
“Does... does he still not know?” you wondered, and Lilia stuck his tongue out mischievously. 
“Well... he doesn’t go out much and I don’t really talk to him in school...” 
“Fair.” you conceded, with an amused smile, as Idia cried about needing to plead with the Evening Star harder. 
“On the subject of not knowing,” Lilia raised a brow. “I know I’m not exactly light and yet...” He crossed his arms as he stared up at you curiously.
“Oh... well, I’ve always been strong?” you said, unsure of where this was going. 
“Intriguing!” Lilia hummed as he happily snuggled into your arms. “In that case, I should try falling into your arms more often!~” 
“Please don’t.” 
“I won’t hurt myself.”
“But that doesn’t mean I’ll automatically stop worrying, Lilia.” 
Lilia peered up at you with curious eyes. You gazed back, and he realized that you were every bit serious about what you said. 
“Sometimes I find it interesting how humans seem so much more mature than most faeries at my age.” Lilia mused.
“Well, we are forced to mature faster.” You pointed out. 
Lilia hummed in a contemplative manner.
“In that case, would you carry me like this whenever I want?”
“Sure,” you shrugged. “It won’t really bother me.” 
“Excellent, shall we remain like this for the night, then?”
“I thought you’d never ask.” 
The two of you shared a happy smile, as you settled in for the night.

Characterization master post
Octavinelle
🐙Azul Ashengrotto
Smug little shit jazz version
Cares too much but won't admit
Big brain move, aesthetic~
Can't have magic? Takes secrets instead
Needs to understand the power of seduction, getting contracts would be so easier if He would be consciously smooth azul sweetie you have to make them love, not want an transaction, so you'll get things for free
Hates having debts, you can just give him a pen or something that He will give it back just to not be in debt not everybody works like you azul relax
Boy needs to surpass his low self steen on his cecaelia form, He's losing many means to have the highest ground on the blackmail market
He just doesn't like to be seen without his 100% approval on that form
Will show it if it's for a contract I assume
I imagine his self Steen isn't so low now, He's on the middle ground, where He just doesn't find this form appealing but isn't grossed out by himself either this time, wich is way better than before me projecting myself? More likely than you think
Yes He rumbles when excited, listen to him, He'll get a little flustered once He notices it
Such a drama queen, the octavinelle trio are all dramatic queens
Sarcasm's his middle name
🐬Jade Leech
Loves the facet He built, loves seeing the horror when people sees who's coming to get them, Floyd may be the violent one but Jade's the one with a darker reputation for some reason
Takes advantage of his pleasant and proper reputation to, tho some times wishes He could get rougher like his brother on bad days
We need more feral Jade
Can pretend for eternity, such a good actor
Very curious about the land, while Floyd focus on a more people approach, Jade's appreciating the landscapes
Ahhaha MUSHROOMS ALL OF THEM
🦈Floyd Leech
Needs constant attention
more intelligent than others give him credit
Is, as Jade's said, a genius but realy need something to grasp his attention
Will run, will play does not care what you say
Mood swings like a pendulum
Just wants reactions
