Twisted Wonderland One-shot

So.. uhhh my brain was currently thinking about writing an Azul Ashengrotto x Ramshackle Prefect!Reader.. Maybe about wanting him to teach you how to play the piano perhaps??? Long ass intro maybe..

Gender and pronouns are not mentioned, and the fic can be seen as platonic or romantic, depict it as you like. Characters refer you to as Prefect. This takes place after Azul's overblot and Octavinelle Epilogue.

Disclaimer: Possible out of character and bad english writing, if you spot one like a professional grammar corrector

"I am honored to tutor you." Yeah right. Azul Ashengrotto x Reader.

A few weeks ago...

After visiting Atlantica Memorial Museum, everyone was all seated in the Mostro Lounge. The smell of aromas, glass clinking against eachother.. and active employees.

You sat beside Ace and Deuce, with Grim in your lap. The sound of faint piano lingered in the distance, you took a glimpse on who it might be.. but as soon you expected a random student to play such melody, it was Azul himself who played so casually.

Seriously? Out of all people, the same person who took your dorm just for the sake of the contract and make anyone(specifically Ace, Deuce and Grim) who had signed his contract before the final exams as employees supposedly until the end of the school year once they did not reach the top thirty, can play the piano?

That is quite .. impressive.

Back at your world, your parental figure had bought you a keyboard with 88 keys, you may or may had not watched tutorial videos upon trying it out. But nonetheless, you never had the time to play the keyboard, it may be because of school, laziness and unmotivation, or forgetting about it. Not your fault, right?

Your curious gaze had watched his fingers glide onto the notes on the grand piano, the tune was soothing as he plays it. You envy on how good he was by watching him, yet the yearn to learn on how to play the piano was still pondering inside your chest. You look away as you plan on how to convince him to teach you, either you don't or you will. You don't know where this urge to play the piano came from, but the ache to improve your skills were interrupting you. And after all of that fun, it's time to suffer from this feeling.

In present time...

With a burst of confidence (and nervousness) you told Ace, Deuce and Grim if they want to come to Octavinelle, but the three shared nervous glances, and open minded opinions about the Octo-trio and their mysterious scheming. Convincing them won't stop them from making excuses on not wanting to go, they might've thought you were brave or stupid to appear in front, although you can't help but still feel the ache inside to play the piano one more time.

Maybe going alone in Octavinelle was a bad idea.

Curse your mind from not thinking thrice, curse your random boost of confidence. We cannot go back anymore. You began to look at the entrance of the Mostro Lounge doors, and as you enter. You greeted with an expected welcome.

"Shrimpy!!~" "Oh my, good afternoon, Prefect." Two figures approach you, speak of the devil. "What brings you to Octavinelle today?" Jade spoke calmly, the two share looks with eachother, wondering on why you went here all alone.. You wanted to ask where Azul is. "Eheheh.. You came here all the way yourself? How brave, Shrimpy!~" Floyd chuckled. "But if you want to know where Azul is, he's just at the VIP room." Floyd lazily leaned in closer to you, just to tease and scare you for a bit. If it did scare you, he leaned in a bit closer. "How fascinating, are you eager to meet him? Alright then, shall we escort Prefect to the VIP lounge, Floyd?" Jade replied smoothly as he gestured down the hall. "You got it, Jade!" The two Eel twins had escorted you to the VIP lounge.

You look at their faces, it has been giving 'You are not going anywhere now'. And as you walk and enter, your heart beats in familiarity, remembering the time you went here. Nonetheless there's a goal inside your mind. Convince him to teach you on how to play. Azul was seated in front of you, his lingering gaze who were on the scattered paper on his desk has drawn his attention towards the three of you.

"Ah! Prefect. What brings you here?" As he spoke to you, you may had felt like fidgeting or you remained calm on his gaze. He was curious, confused, yet.. eager to listen on what's on your mind. The Leech twins positioned themselves behind Azul like twin shadows, watching closely. And finally, you told him what you want. A simple "Can you teach me how to play piano" sentence coming from you. He watched you carefully, trying to read you if you're being serious, he had never taught someone how to play a soothing instrument, and so for the first time.. he might consider to teach you.

“Teach you, hmm? How intriguing…” His voice purred like a merchant sensing an opportunity. "I am honored to tutor you. But on one condition.." Nevermind. Azul had noticed your mood, dropping as he almost implied to make you hace a deal with him, he chuckled. “But of course, my time is valuable, you see. Perhaps we could arrange a fair exchange?” There it is. You deadpanned, looking at him like he insulted the things you like. "I am merely joking, mostly." He reassured, but we know damn well he was actually thinking about it, the twins give off a knowing grin. But that assurance did not help you boost your mood.

“Aw, but shrimpy,” Floyd pouted dramatically, “don’t you wanna learn~? Azul’s really good~!” "Indeed," Jade chimed in, "rarely does one get to learn directly from someone so… experienced." The twins were having too much fun watching this unfold. But despite your better judgment, despite every single brain cell screaming "TURN AROUND. WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE BRO???", your desire burned stronger. You always wanted to play, and that blinded your common sense and promise to not approach to their den.

And now, you're here. Sitting beside with him and a grand piano in front of you. Azul’s fingers hovered above yours, guiding them on proper positioning. "Relax your wrist. Like this." You nod, eyes on focus as you followed his every word. Your breathing steadied as your fingers pressed into the keys. It wasn't that awkward.. much. You were just used to watching videos, doing solo on trying to improve your skills, your parental figure hiring a piano teacher for you, yet you still had no skill... The tiny brushes of his fingers made your heart skip a beat, you're not used to such touches like that, maybe.

So.. maybe this wasn't a bad idea? At least you're learning something.

Fin!!!

This took me an hour what the heck 😕✌️ anyways I'm gonna leave this one here and skedaddle away until I get that motivation back again and start WRITING more fanfiction.

BYE IM SO NERVOUS

[thedreamingxio]

Hello my name is Xio, I post once in a blue moon C: because I'm a lazy NEW writer with no experience, self-taught and no confidence on posting fanfiction. Yes I still like to call myself as new even though I've been writing for years but all of them sucked ass so Tumblr is a place for me to improve and stuff

All of my works are necessarily canon!character x reader, I might write character x character but that's rare.. I'm into x readers more.. and I mostly do fluff and comedy stuff so I have a hard time writing other genres like angst (BORRINNG!! BOOOO!! THROWS TOMATOES AT XIO wait no guys imsrrry☹️ I'm tryingok..)

I post unrequested works.. I have a hard time keeping up requests.. because I'm abit inactive on tumblr, and I only am if I'm down to write stuff.. but you may leave some Ideas ^_^ (chat am I cooking or am I cooked??)

The fandoms I might do

-Twisted Wonderland

-PHIGHTING!

-Block Tales

-Cookie Run

-Project Sekai

And more probably but I'm kinda lazy for that

Also if there's a chance that my requests might be open.. and either that or no requests.. just a disclaimer here:

-Please interact with care.. I'm easily caught off guard.. 💔🥀

-I do Short and Large fics depending on my motivation, and I need to take my time and get some rest and motivation while doing so :C

-Refrain from requesting Nsfw fics.. I don't know how to make them..

-No proship fic ideas, ew yucky yuck, I like legal stuff not something that makes you go to jail

-Possible out of characters, bad grammar, and the English is not englishing moment. ANNDD misspellings.

-and more common sense boundaries.

Sorry guys I'm still new to writing.. and this account is kind of new.. so yeah.. screams and runs away

I'm also inspired by those fanfic writers out there, I'm secretly reading it. You'll never know though.. heheheh....
