more fluff ideas here🫣and maybe even a bit sad

reader found a Photo album for leona when he was a kid, leona didn't notice because he was playing with his phone, the reader saw leona's pictures when he was a kid and noticed how leona always looks quiet and not smiling in the photos, how everyone else in his family is taking a photo together while leona just stands at the side and looks sad, reader won't notice leona standing behind them and i don't have a clear idea here but leona will be obviously sad and annoyed to see the album and reader will try to reassure him, leona here will go like "hold on, they actually noticed my sadness" and get soft at it, and reader ended up teasing leona about how he got chubby cheeks and looks like a princess

(i should stop explaining the whole scenario one ask and give you space to imagine more things but i can't ibysrhnkfs😭don't feel limited by what i wrote if you have a better idea write it)

summary: behind every tough and strong exterior, lies a softer, more vulnerable interior, and you get to see leona's. (600+ words)

author's note: omg, i know i've been veeeery late (school has been hectic, Ｔ▽Ｔ) but yeah, at least I enjoyed writing this one hihi ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

you were doing what you did best—snooping around leona's territory in the savanaclaw dorm when you stumbled upon something intriguing. hidden under a pile of random books and old spell notes, you found a dusty, old photo album. it was unlike anything you'd seen in leona's usual mess, and curiosity got the better of you.

you settled on the couch, flipping it open with a small giggle, expecting to see more of leona's smug, lazy expressions or maybe some embarrassing baby pictures. but what you found instead made you pause. the photos revealed a younger leona, much smaller but already carrying the same serious expression. he stood alone in most of the pictures, distant from the rest of his family, who were captured laughing and smiling together. there was a certain sadness in his eyes, a loneliness that you had never seen before.

leona, completely absorbed in whatever game he was playing on his phone, didn’t notice at first. you couldn’t help but feel a pang of empathy for the boy in the pictures. gently, you brushed your fingers over a photo where leona, with his chubby cheeks, stood in the background while his older brother was front and center, grinning widely with their parents.

leona eventually looked up from his phone, realizing the silence had stretched longer than usual when you were around. his eyes narrowed as he noticed the album in your hands. “oi, what are you doing with that?” he growled, striding over, clearly annoyed.

startled, you quickly shut the album but not before leona caught a glimpse of the photo you’d been looking at. his expression shifted from irritation to something more guarded. he snatched the album from your hands, holding it tightly, but didn’t say anything further. you stood up, not the least bit intimidated by his usual gruff demeanor.

“leona…” you began, your voice uncharacteristically soft. “you looked really lonely in those pictures.”

leona didn’t respond immediately. he didn’t meet your gaze, focusing instead on the old photo album in his hands. the silence stretched between you, heavy with the weight of things unsaid.

“did they… did they not notice?” you asked hesitantly.

leona finally looked at you, his emerald eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. “they noticed,” he muttered, though it was unclear if he believed it himself.

you weren’t sure what to say. you had always seen leona as confident, arrogant even, but never vulnerable. this side of him was new, and it tugged at something in your heart. but being who you were, you couldn’t resist adding a little humor to lighten the mood.

“you know,” you said, a teasing grin slowly spreading across your face, “you were pretty adorable with those chubby cheeks. you looked like a little princess.”

leona’s eyes widened slightly in surprise before narrowing in irritation. “a princess? you’ve got some nerve—”

you giggled, the atmosphere around you lightening with your laughter. “it’s true! and look at that, your chubby cheeks were just begging to be pinched!”

leona grumbled something under his breath, though you couldn’t make out what it was. but the tension in his shoulders seemed to ease a bit. he sat down on the couch, still holding the album, and you took a seat beside him.

“i’m serious, though,” you said after a moment, your voice softening again. “you’re not alone, leona. i know i bug you all the time, but i… i care about you.”

leona didn’t respond, but the look in his eyes softened. you didn’t push any further, simply resting your head on his shoulder, content to just be there with him. leona sighed, but there was a hint of a smile on his lips as he gently nudged you away.

“annoying herbivore,” he muttered.

you just grinned, knowing that despite his words, he appreciated your company more than he’d ever admit.

uhmm since you are open to asks let me blow this box for you

hear me out, l hc leona as the type to just like to stare at small things especially animals, he just stares for hours with his tail flickering and purring

So my idea is that the reader knew that Leona loves small animals because he saw Leona watching a bird in a tree, so the reader bought a little duck or a hamster and asked Leona to keep it in his room temporarily because there are repairs in ramshakle, reader put their phone in his room and started recording leona acting like a kitten playing with the small animal (whatever you like it to be), let leona be a big kitten i beg you🙏🏻

(fighting the urge to send multiple asks all at once🥰💔)

a lion and a duck

pairing: leona kingscholar x reader

summary: it's not everyday we see the mighty leona kingscholar turn into a big softie for cute things,,,so why not enjoy it while he's not looking?

author's note: rook agrees!!! i remember that one time in the manga where rook says that leona might be weak for cute and small things😖💓

you knew leona had a soft spot for small creatures. it was a detail you picked up from the many times you’d caught him staring intently at birds perched on branches or tiny animals scurrying about. his eyes would soften, his tail would flick back and forth with a sort of lazy amusement, and he’d purr contentedly. it was a side of leona that wasn’t often seen, and you found it endearing.

with this in mind, you came up with a playful idea. ramshackle is currently being repaired, which is a perfect excuse to ask someone to look after your pet duckling—a little ball of fluff with bright yellow feathers—while you’re out buying some food for it. you already had a certain someone in mind who would surely enjoy the company of the adorable little duck. you chuckled at the thought. it's a perfect plan.

when you arrived at leona's room, you knocked on the door, clutching the small box that held the duckling. leona opened the door, his usual cool demeanor melting into a curious expression as he saw what you were holding.

“what’s that?” he asked.

you grinned. "i need a favor. ramshackle is being repaired, and i need a temporary home for this little guy. can you keep him in your room for a bit? i promise he’s low maintenance.”

leona looked down at the box, where the tiny duckling peeped out with a curious quack. his expression softened, and he nodded. “....alright, whatever”

you thanked him and handed over the box, watching as he carefully carried it inside. you couldn’t resist the urge to sneak in a bit later with your phone, ready to record the adorable scene you hoped to capture.

leona set the box down on his desk, and as soon as the duckling waddled out, he seemed utterly entranced. he crouched down to get a better look, his tail flicking with excitement. he reached out slowly, a small smile spreading across his face as the duckling pecked at his fingers.

you watched through the door, barely able to contain your laughter as leona’s usually stoic demeanor melted into something more affectionate. he was completely absorbed in the little creature, his movements gentle and deliberate.

the duckling quacked softly and waddled around, and leona followed its every move with wide eyes, his purring almost audible as he played with it. he gently scooped the duckling up, cradling it in his hands and scratching its tiny head contentedly.

you couldn’t help but chuckle quietly as you recorded the scene. leona was like a big kitten. his tail flicked back and forth in delight as the duckling nestled into his hands.

after a few minutes, you decided it was time to let leona know you were there. you stepped into the room, still holding your phone and grinning widely. “i see you’ve made a new friend.”

leona looked up at you. “yeah, well… he’s pretty adorable. can’t blame me for getting a bit carried away.”

“you’re a big softie for small animals, aren’t you? i never imagined you’d get so into it.”

leona gave you a sheepish shrug, his gaze returning to the duckling. “i guess they’re more interesting than i thought."

your smile widened as you watched him gently set the duckling back into its box. “i’m glad you like him. just remember, he’s only staying for a little while.”

"i know. either way, thanks, i guess...."

as you left the room, you turned back with a mischievous grin. “oh, and by the way, i’m definitely keeping my recording. it’s too cute to not watch over and over again.”

"what the—" leona’s eyes widened slightly, and he let out a soft groan. “you better not use it against me.”.

you gave him a mischievous wink before finally leaving. what a satisfying day it really is.

realizations

pairing: leona kingscholar x reader

summary: leona can't stand how annoying you are, yet the thought of you with someone else is driving him mad. watch as the king of beasts--or rather, king of denial---battles with emotions he never thought he'd have (400+ words).

author's note: omggg thank you so much😭 im super open with scenarios and i really appreciate your compliment 👉👈 i'll do my best!! ilyy💕💗

leona had always found you annoying—fucking annoying, to be precise. you are loud, clingy, and have a habit of invading his personal space like it was your favorite pastime. but lately, something had shifted. he caught himself thinking about you more often than he’d like to admit, and the moments when you weren’t around were starting to feel… too quiet.

he wasn’t stupid. he knew what was happening, but admitting it to himself? not a chance. so, he kept his distance, kept up the cold exterior, and kept calling you annoying whenever you were in earshot. it was easier that way.

but then, ruggie dropped a bombshell.

“oi, leona-san,” ruggie started, “you hear the latest gossip?”

leona barely glanced up from the book he was pretending to read. “what now?”

“your little herbivore,” ruggie said, leaning in closer, “she’s been seen around with some prince from rsa. word is they’re dating.”

the book in leona’s hand closed with a snap, and he shot ruggie a glare. “what did you just say?”

ruggie chuckled, enjoying the rare moment of having leona’s full attention. “yeah, apparently some fancy prince from rsa’s been showing her around. looks like she’s moved on from chasing after you.”

leona’s expression darkened, a scowl settling on his face. the idea of you with some prince—some random nobody from rsa—made his blood boil. you weren’t supposed to just… move on. especially not with someone like that.

he leaned back, trying to act indifferent, but his mind was racing. “tch. figures she’d go after someone else. i told you she was fucking annoying.”

“yeah, whatever, boss.” ruggie’s grin didn’t fade as he straightened up. “but you sure don’t seem too happy about it.”

leona didn’t reply, just grunted and waved ruggie away. the hyena left with a smug look, clearly amused by the situation.

once he was alone, leona’s thoughts spiraled. you… dating someone else? the very idea was like a thorn in his side, constantly pricking at him, refusing to let him be. he’d never admit it out loud, but the thought of you laughing, smiling, and being your annoying self with someone else—some prince who didn’t know the first thing about you—it pissed him off more than he cared to acknowledge.

he closed his eyes, trying to push the thoughts away. but the image of you with another man kept resurfacing, no matter how hard he tried to shove it aside.

maybe you were fucking annoying. but the thought of losing you… wasn’t something he could easily accept.

author's note: another day, another fluff

you stood in front of the mirror, your long, untied hair cascading over your left shoulder, leaving your neck and jawline exposed. you stared at your reflection, lost in thought, unaware of the presence behind you.

leona silently approached, his green eyes just staring at you. without a word, he leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to the exposed curve of your neck. you gasped, your eyes widening in surprise as you met his gaze in the mirror.

"leona," you breathed, a mix of surprise and pleasure in your voice.

he smirked, trailing more kisses up your neck to your jaw. "couldn't resist," he murmured against your skin.

your annoyance melted away as you leaned into his touch, your eyes fluttering shut. "you always know how to distract me," you admitted softly.

"that's the idea," leona replied, his lips brushing against your jaw in a tender, lingering kiss.

summary: what could be more better than to tease your husband on a normal day, right? it surely would be fun (270+ words)

author's note: it's me and my leona brainrot

you lounged on the sofa, flipping through a book while leona just laid down on the bed with his arms over his eyes to cover it. the atmosphere was calm, a rare quiet moment in your often lively household.

"hey, big bro" you called out playfully, not bothering to look up from your book.

leona's head snapped up, a frown immediately creasing his brow. "what did you just call me?"

you smirked, finally meeting his gaze. "you heard me, ‘BIG BRO’. you’re literally older than me, after all."

leona's frown deepened. "don't start with that nonsense, herbivore."

you put your book down and stretched before making your way over to him. "what? it's true. you're practically ancient compared to me."

leona scoffed, leaning back in his chair. "ancient, huh? if i'm ancient, what does that make you?"

you giggled, leaning on his side to get closer to him. "still young and vibrant, unlike you, old man."

leona rolled his eyes. "keep it up, and you'll see just how 'ancient' i can be."

you laughed. "oh, is that a threat, big bro?" you reached out to poke his cheek to tease him.

leona grabbed your hand and pulled you onto his lap, his other arm wrapping securely around your waist. "careful, herbivore. you might not like where this leads."

you laughed, draping your arms around his neck. "i'm not scared of you, old man."

leona raised an eyebrow, his grip on you tightening slightly. "you should be. i might just remind you why you should respect your elders."

you leaned in, your nose brushing against his. "i'd like to see you try."

for a moment, you stayed like that, then leona's expression softened, and he pressed a gentle kiss to your lips. "you really know how to push my buttons, don't you?"

you smiled against his lips. "it's one of my many talents."

leona chuckled, resting his forehead against yours. "you're impossible."

"and you love me for it," you replied, winking at him.

leona sighed, a smile tugging at his lips. "yeah, i do. now, enough with the 'big bro' nonsense."

you giggled, stealing another kiss on his lips before finally pushing him away. "whatever you say, big bro."

author's note: day 2 of leona posting this year👊

you stood in front of leona and your new set of makeup spread out on the table. "come on, leona, let me try this on you," you insisted, holding up a brush.

leona sighed, crossing his arms. "why do i have to be your guinea pig?"

"because you're handsome and i need a canvas," you chuckled and began applying a light layer of foundation, followed by some blush and eyeshadow. leona tolerated it, grumbling occasionally but mostly remaining still.

when you held up the lipstick, leona's eyes shot open. "no way," he said firmly.

"fine, i'll wear it then." you applied the lipstick to your own lips, and then, with a swift movement, you pulled leona by the neck and kissed him, transferring the lipstick onto his lips.

leona’s eyes widened in surprise, but he didn’t pull away. instead, he found himself kissing you back. when you finally pulled away, you laughed at the sight of him with smeared red lipstick.

"you know, you look pretty good like this,"

leona wiped the corner of his mouth with a smirk. "you’re lucky i love you, herbivore," he replied, pulling you close again for another kiss.

summary: just leona and ruggie strolling down shaftlands' streets with a certain uninvited herbivore following them (634 words)

author's note: omg???? im back??? after a year??? WOHOOOO🎉 i missed u guys mwa

snow crunched under their feet as ruggie and leona strolled shaftlands' streets. the ground were dusted in white and the air is cold. christmas was around the corner, but leona couldn’t care less. all he wanted was some peace, but of course, that was too much to ask.

“leona-san, check this out,” ruggie said, pointing at a street vendor selling hot cocoa.

leona glanced over, considering it, when he heard the faint but unmistakable sound of footsteps behind them. he didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.

“leonaaaaa! ruggie! waitttttttt!” you called, annoyingly cheerful as ever.

ruggie and leona exchanged a look but kept walking, hoping you'd take the hint. you didn’t.

you caught up to them, your breath visible in the cold. “woah, isn't it beautiful here? i love christmas!”

“sure, whatever,” leona replied, not bothering to hide his annoyance.

as they walked past a clothing store, leona noticed you slowing down. you pressed your face against the glass, eyes wide with admiration. a cute sweater caught your attention, but you didn’t say anything.

leona kept walking, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw you shake your head and hurry to catch up with them, your cheeks red from the cold. you sneezed and just beamed as if nothing was wrong.

ruggie nudged leona. “hey, boss, they're freezing.”

leona grunted, not wanting to acknowledge it, but he was right. you were shivering, your thin jacket doing little to keep you warm.

you continued to talk, your teeth chattering slightly. “i just love the holidays. everything is so festive and—” you sneezed again, this time louder.

leona rolled his eyes. “you’re gonna catch a cold, herbivore.”

“i'm fine, really,” you insisted, though it was obvious you were anything but.

ruggie sighed and took off his own scarf, and handed into you. “at least take this. we don’t need you getting sick and whining about it.”

your eyes widened in surprise. “oh, thank you, ruggie! but i can’t—”

“just take it,” ruggie said, waving off your protest.

you beamed at him, clutching the scarf tightly. “you’re the best, ruggie!”

“yeah, yeah, don’t mention it,” he said.

as they continued their stroll, leona couldn’t help but glance back at the store. the sweater was still there.

ruggie noticed his look. “you thinking what i’m thinking?”

“shut up, ruggie,” leona growled.

you three walked on, the snowfall growing heavier. when you passed the store again on your way back, leona paused for a moment. you were already ahead, hurrying to keep up with ruggie.

“go on ahead,” leona said to him, turning back to the store.

ruggie raised an eyebrow but didn’t argue. “got it, leona-san.”

leona stepped into the store, the bell above the door jingling softly. the clerk greeted him with a smile, but he ignored it, heading straight for the sweater. it was even nicer up close, soft and warm.

after a quick transaction, he walked out with the sweater in a bag, making his way back to you and ruggie.

“here,” he said, thrusting the bag at you.

you blinked in surprise. “leona, what’s this?”

“just take it,”

you opened the bag and gasped, pulling out the sweater. “oh...”

“don’t make a big deal out of it,” leona warned. “just put it on before you freeze to death.”

your smile was blinding as you wore it. “thank you so much, leona!"

“ugh, shut up" he grumbled.

as you guys walked back through the snowy streets, your cheerful chattering continued, and for once, he didn’t mind it as much.

summary: after four years of leaving twisted wonderland, you were given another chance to come back and reunite with your boyfriend, riddle, once more....but things aren't the same anymore (?) (1.7k+ words)

author's note: im loving angst fr, anyway this is not proofread sorryy ,, o(╥﹏╥)o

you don't know why you feel so much silence inside you when your companions make so much noise. well, maybe it's because you just couldn't get over with riddle's cold treatment towards you after seeing him in this reunion.

"please excuse me for a while. i'm going to get some food." riddle said, and after that, he lined up at the buffet area.

"i think you better follow riddle and get your food as well", vil suggested, looking at you.

"what about you guys? aren't you coming along?" you started to stand up from your seat and looked at your friends.

"we're fine, argh- this meat is so delicious!" grim answered, stuffing his mouth with the steak he got earlier.

you shook your head in frustration and looked at ace and deuce with a 'how-about-you-are-you-coming-along' look.

"i won't go with you. deucey here is going to feed me. right, deuce?"

"huh?" deuce's eyes widened, but when ace nudged him on his elbow, the blue-haired boy quickly nodded. "y-yes!"

"you should go there now, or you might run out of food." vil chuckled, making you roll your eyes. of course there's no way the buffet will run out of food.

"i hate you" you stormed off to line up to get your food. there weren't many people in the line. you saw riddle a little ahead of you, talking to sam.

"..so what did you do?" sam asked riddle. you couldn't hear much of what the two were talking about, but you were able to at least catch that part of their conversation.

"i didn't do anything. i can't do anything." riddle answered, causing you to be more curious of their topic.

"are you that much curious of what they're talking about?" you were surprised when someone spoke next to you and was even more surprised to see that the man who spoke was flying upside down.

"lilia.."

"i can tell you if you ask for my help, that is. you know, i can hear them clearly from this distance."

you shook your head at his offer and turned your eyes back at riddle again.

"no need. i don't want to trouble y-"

"by the way, how's your fiance riddle? i heard that she is well-known in queendom of roses." you froze, hearing what sam had just asked.

"well, she visits our residence like four times a week. it's not like i'm the reason why she comes to our house anyways. she just wants to hang out with my mother. in fact, she is kind of-"

you couldn't believe what you heard and immediately hurried to where riddle is.

lilia flashed a worried look at you. "oh dear, the youngsters are having their love problems. good thing i can't relate."

"you have a fiance?" you confronted him, which caught riddle by surprise.

"..."

"tell me riddle, is that why you were being cold to me?"

riddle grabbed your hand and dragged you outside.

"what the hell, riddle?! where are you taking me?! and why aren't you answering my questions?!"

riddle only stopped when they reached the garden.

"i beg you. please stop bothering me, anymore. you will only ruin my relationship with my mother."

you scoffed, shaking your head in disbelief. "so it's true? that you have a fiance? since when, riddle?"

riddle heaved a sigh and spoke. "two years after you left. it was an arranged marriage."

you felt your knees weakened, hope slowly disappearing in front of your eyes.

"a-and....and you didn't even fight for me?" riddle started hearing sobs from you.

"riddle, how about us? didn't you even try to fight for our relationship with your mother? riddle, tell me, why didn't you-"

"i did." riddle cut your words off, his eyes sharpening. "don't tell me that i didn't fight for you, because i did. i fought for you. but i can't continue fighting for someone who's not by my side and we both know that there is no certainty if you will ever come back." he bit his lower lip, trying to prevent tears from coming out of his eyes.

an intense silence shrouded the surroundings. it was dark, but riddle was sure that tears had started flowing down your cheeks from your eyes.

"and this is it. this is the part where you have to set me free like i did to you. this is the part where you let me follow who I want to. i am now officially asking for a break-up with you."

your heart broke even more because of the words riddle said. you have done nothing else since you met him but loved him, but why does he seem to give up so easily? is it that easy to forget all the memories you've shared?

"no. no, riddle. i won't accept this."

riddle released a frustrated sigh. "why? can't you do this for me, at least?"

"everything i did is for you, riddle. i waited four freaking years just to know that you were already engaged when i finally came back? so what does that make me now? a mistress?" you gulped. "let me remind you riddle, we never broke up before I left."

"that's why I'm breaking up with you right now!"

"and I said no."

riddle bit his lip in annoyance. "you know what? i guess my mother is right. she's always been. i deserve a nice girl from a noble family. beautiful, able to bear children and play the role of the perfect housewife. and you can't even be the girlfriend i want you to be. you're really not suited to be my partner."

riddle brought out his thoughts, which made you sob even more. every word from Riddle's mouth was painful, and you were sure that everything he said was etched in your mind.

"my mother knows best." riddle added. "and you're not even good enough for me."

you cried. you let out your tears, completely ruining your makeup. you slowly walked towards riddle, intending to at least slap him for hurting you, but your body betrayed you, and you ended up falling on your knees.

you grasped the hem of riddle's tux, pleading. "riddle, please. take back what you said. please." you lowered your head and kept crying.

"i'm hurt, riddle. please, stop. i don't want this anymore."

you wiped your face, causing the makeup to spread on your face even more. "i did nothing, but wait to be given another chance to see you again. four years, riddle. during those four years, i endured all the pain. please, riddle..."

and for the first time that night, you heard riddle's sobs. familiar sobs that you had heard before when he overblotted. but right now, you're the reason why he is crying like a child.

"d-do you think it doesn't hurt me to say those words to you?" he said. "d-do you really think that i don't want you anymore? that i'm not happy to see you again?"

"riddle..."

"do you know how much i restrained myself from hugging you back when you greeted me earlier? do you know how much I want to talk to you?" he confessed, still crying.

you stood up. you cupped his cheeks and wiped his tears away. "shh, riddle..."

you were surprised when riddle suddenly grabbed your hand on his face.

"you're the only woman i want in my life, so don't think that i prefer that woman my mother wants me to marry, over you. you're the only destiny i want for myself." he said, kissing your hand. "i still love you. i never stopped loving you."

you didn't realize that you were already hugging riddle. "i love you too, riddle. and i won't stop loving you." you replied, smiling.

"i don't care what my mom says anymore. now that you're here, i'll fight for you again, and this time, we'll surely win her blessings." he whispered, stroking the back of your head.

"what if she still won't let us do what we want?"

"don't be so negative. but if what you said happened, hmm....what about eloping?" riddle suggested, which made you laugh.

riddle went red. "h-hey, i'm not kidding here!"

"sure, sure. whatever."

and when you still won't stop laughing, riddle suddenly pulled you closer to him by your waist, leaning his face on yours. "seriously...i've been restraining myself real hard since i saw you looking so beautiful in that dress." he paused. "i will gladly break any rule for you, my rose."

as he strokes your cheek, riddle notices that his hand is trembling. you leaned down to him, eyes glassy, gazing down at his lips. he felt your lips but was too timid to press any harder; however, you moved independently, pressing them together while gripping riddle's hand, which had been resting on your cheek.

small balls of glowing lights emerged around the two, allowing them to float in the air as they shared that romantic moment. and when their feets reached the ground again, riddle was surprised to see that your face wasn't a mess anymore. your makeup is not ruined and their clothes look better than before.

"that was...magical,"

"yeah, maybe a fairy heard us or something." you chuckled, and riddle offered his hands for you to hold. "shall we go inside? i still haven't eaten anything yet. i want to try the cake."

you smiled at him and accepted his hand. "sure."

****

"WAKA-SAMAAAAAA!!!! WHERE ARE YOU, WAKA-SAMAAAAAA?!!!!"

"can you please stop shouting, sebek?" silver sighs as they search for the prince of briar valley around the dark and misty garden outside the party venue.

"YOU GOOD-FOR-NOTHING SILVER! WE NEED TO FIND WAKA-SAMA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I'M AFRAID THAT THE FOOD I GOT HIM WILL TURN COLD!" sebek complained dramatically.

"well, we can do that WITHOUT shouting."

"UGH."

the man sitting on a tree branch watches as the couple makes their way inside the hall. with a smile, he snapped his fingers, taking back all the glowing lights he sent them a while ago. he's glad he was able to help the two somehow.

"oh~ i see, the youngsters are back together~."

"lilia."

lilia suddenly appeared behind him, wearing a mischievous look on his face. "let's go now, malleus. there's food waiting for you inside." he tapped his shoulders, and the latter nodded his head.

"spinning their tale was quite...exhausting."

author's note: crying over my own story ⊙︿⊙

leona expected this. he has always been. of course, you have to go back to your world. he's no longer surprised when you suddenly barged into savanaclaw, looking so....blue. you made your way to his room without even knocking and as much as ruggie would want to stop you, he restrained himself from doing so. in the first place, it was not his business to deal with.

you found leona, lying on his bed. his head is looking in the other direction and he didn't even try to look your way. you sat at the edge of the bed.

the room was filled with silence. you waited for him to speak first. you know he's not sleeping but the beastman didn't utter a single word even after minutes of waiting.

"leona......" you finally gave up, breaking the silence by calling his name. leona flinched a bit and for the first time, it seems like he wants to curse his own name. it's strange, really.

you breathed heavily. "leona I-"

"go away, herbivore"

"i can't do that. leona, i.....im going home. at least look at me so we can talk properly" you begged but never did leona turn his head towards you. instead, he covered himself with a blanket.

"if you won't talk, fine. just listen to what im about to say" you heaved a sigh before continuing. "when we first came here, to be honest, im not scared. im not feeling sad or homesick. in fact, i was very happy. ironic, isn't it? i feel lucky because i know that there's a high chance i could see you. it's funny that i liked you even before we actually met." you smiled, you were reminded of your memories when you were in your world, playing twisted wonderland with your friends.

memories of how you took very much care of your leona plushie and how you can't sleep without it by your side.

leona lets out a small grunt. "stop blabbering and get lost, herbivore" he said under his blanket.

you ignored him and continued. "and you know what? when i finally got to see you, i took the opportunity to talk and get close to you. i was like 'it's now or never'." you chuckled when you remembered the times when you were being clingy to leona, disturbing his afternoon naps with your loud voice, and eating lunch with him at the botanical garden. precious moments indeed.

"time sure flies, huh?" your phone beeped. it was a message from cater, telling you that he finished helping you pack up your stuff. you turned off her phone before looking at the covered figure of leona.

you opened your mouth, trying to utter words. "i want....i...i want to.." your voice cracks and after a second or two, sobs became audible in leona's ears.

you could feel your eyes starting to water. you wiped your eyes and swallowed hard before speaking. "let's break up, leona"

silence filled leona's room once again. you bite your lips in hope of preventing tears from coming out. "im cutting ties with you. let's end this relationship. we should forget each other. you have your own life and i have mine. we're different leona. we're not meant for each othe-"

"if that's all you're gonna say, then leave." leona cut your words. "you went here for nothing. we don't have a relationship, to begin with. you just proclaimed yourself one day that you are my significant other when you're not." leona finally removed the blanket that was covering his face. "leave now, herbivore"

your lips parted. you were about to say something but chose not to. you smiled at leona before standing up. "thank you for everything, leona." you bowed before walking towards the door. you looked at leona one last time before going out. ah, how badly you want to disappear.

leona on the other hand looked outside. he didn't cry. no signs of regrets, sadness, or pain that are painted on his face. he was prepared for this, wasn't he? he was always ready.....or so he thought.

summary: you will finally leave nrc and decided to spend your last day with riddle

author's note: i wrote this like a year ago,, sorry for the grammatical errors

"the roses are very pretty today. the flamingos and hedgehogs are also looking healthy. don't you think so, too, my rose?" riddle smiles at you who were walking with him in the rose maze.

this isn't what you expected. you never imagined riddle would welcome you in heartslabyul one last time with a bright smile. is he not bothered by your departure? you were supposed to say your goodbyes to him but how could you when riddle looks like this. it would be bad to ruin his mood.

"my rose?" you snapped back to your senses when riddle called you. "uh....yes, i guess so" you faked a laugh to assure him that you were alright.

riddle held your hands while walking. he's looking very comfortable and enjoying the moment. maybe he's making up the best for your last moments with each other?

"we'll have a croquet competition tonight, my rose. if you'd like to, you could come to watch" riddle invited you. you don't know what to say. you will leave tomorrow and you still hasn't finished packing your belongings yet. "i'll try" that's the best you could say.

"oh and yes, tomorrow afternoon we also have a tea party. i assume you'd be present as well. i'll have trey to prepare his best cake and the desserts too. tomorrow will be just what i - "

"riddle."

riddle stopped walking when he noticed that you aren't following him anymore. he looked back, and you were standing there, looking down. you understand it clearly now.

"yes, rose? are you tired? perhaps we should go inside alread- "

as riddle was about to lead you the way to the lounge but you grabbed his hand. "riddle, please understand it. i'm leaving"

riddle halted, his eyes widening. you knew. you figured out that riddle is diverting the topic and his attention to the fact that his beloved rose will be leaving his side soon. not in a dead state, of course. he just doesn't want to talk about it. he's afraid.

"w-what are you saying, my rose? how about let's talk ins-" tears fell from your eyes, making riddle stunned. you held both of his hands. "riddle, please. at least let me say these things to you." riddle could feel tear drops hitting his hands and he hates it.

"i love you riddle. i love you very much. i don't want to leave but i have to. i want to stay here with you." for some reason, your tears won't stop coming out of your eyes.

riddle fell silent for a while, seeing you like that in front of him is making him....what? angry? sad? afraid? he can't describe it. all he knows is that he hates it.

riddle's hands made their way to your face. he wiped your tears using his hands. he cupped your cheeks and caresses them gently to comfort you.

"my rose" riddle called, making you look at his eyes. and there you saw his true feelings. pain. sadness.

at the end of the day, riddle still wishes for your happiness no matter what choice you made. even if it meant leaving and never seeing him again. it hurts. it hurts so bad but what could he do? stop you? beg you to not leave? nah. he's not that selfish. you deserve to reunite with your loved ones. your parents, your friends, your classmates.

"wherever you are, you will always be in my heart. be safe, my rose. each day without seeing your face will be painful to bear, but always remember that i will replace you with no one" riddle said, picking a rose from the garden and giving it to you. "you're the only one i love. and that's my vow" riddle placed a soft kiss on your forehead, an indication of his love, care, and fondness towards you.

you hugged him tightly. "i won't replace you either." you whispered.

au revoir

summary: you were about to leave twisted wonderland and decided to end your relationship with vil (500+ words)

author's note: not proofread so pls don't mind the grammatical errors ╥﹏╥

"so....tomorrow's your departure, am i right?" vil pours a cup of tea for you, who visited him in his dorm to have lunch and bid farewell. you nod in response. "yes, tomorrow morning, to be precise."

vil nods "ah, I see" he handed you the cup, which you gladly accepted. the room went silent. you could all hear the sounds of spoons and forks clacking with each other as you ate.

you paused. it would be best if you tell him. you should have no problem after telling him you want a breakup. yes. it's for the best. it is the perfect time to talk to him about this.

"vil"

vil wiped his mouth using a tissue before replying with a 'hm?' to you. you glanced at him. it's a face you will never forget. a look that defines 'beauty'. you're not even sure if you could find someone in her world that rivals vil's face.

"i'm thinking about this for a while and i...."

"you want a break up with me?" your eyes widened in shock. vil hit the bullseye. you were surprised he knew what you were thinking.

slowly, you nodded. you stared at your food instead of his eyes. "i just realized that maybe it was all infatuation I'm feeling towards you. maybe i was just overwhelmed by your face the moment i saw you. maybe i just like your face. that's why I'm in this relationship. besides, i think I'll be a hindrance to your career as a celebrity."

vil examines your features. you are too 'normal' for him. you don't wear quite much of accessories and you don't dress that much. you are plain, that's for sure. but vil didn't care about that. strange, right? the famous fashion icon, vil schoenheit, has a significant other like you?

vil inhaled. "if that's what you want, i respect your decision. but never did once i thought of you as a hindrance to my job," he answered. you didn't expect him to respond like this, but it favoured you.

you smiled at him before standing up. "thank you so much for accepting me, vil. i'm sure you'll find someone better. someone that's on your level. someone that's not me. i wish for your success in the future....goodbye, vil."

vil doesn't want you to leave. he has never met someone like you who's very straightforward and honest. you always say what's on your mind - being it negative or not. no one ever dared to say before that vil's clothing was unsightly and didn't fit him, except for you.

absentmindedly, vil uttered a phrase that he once heard from rook. "au revoir," you wave your hand before leaving his room, feeling very much relieved.

as vil locks the door, a tear rolls down his fair cheeks. he thanked God that he was such a good actor. otherwise, you would be witnessing his breakdown. how he would miss seeing your face and hearing your voice.

hoping that this isn't your last meeting, and if, by any chance, you come back to twisted wonderland, you two will be mature enough to deal with your duties and be in each other's company again.

"leooonaaaaaa~"

"oh my God. the annoying rat found me." leona frowned.

"hi, leonababes!" you sat down beside him under the tree. as always, he seems to be going to sleep.

"what do you want, herbivore?"

"nothing much. just let me sleep beside you." you smiled brightly, attempting to lay your head on leona's chest, but the beastman quickly shoved your head away and growled.

"i thought you said 'beside me', not 'on me'" he glared at you, who was now pouting.

"hmph. fine. i know you're just shy, leonababes" you giggled, finally laying down while resting your head on your arms. this is not what you planned, but oh well, never mind, as long as leona's with you, you're fine.

you looked at the man's face. how beautiful. you've seen many handsome boys before, but no one caught your attention except for leona. he has this unexplainable aura that made you fall in love since who-knows-when.

"you're very handsome, leona, you know that?" you complimented him. when he looked back at you with those pretty green eyes, you knew you were falling deeper and deeper. you want to touch his scar but are afraid leona will not like it.

"uh-huh. But who cares anyway" leona shut his eyes aggressively; his ears are moving.

"...me, Leona. i love you..."

___________

"WAKEY WAKEY SLEEPYHEAAADD!!!" leona was awoken by this loud noise in his room caused by none other than the stupid herbivore who was currently jumping non-stop on his bed to wake him up.

"arghh. Shut up, herbivore. It's still early for you to be noisy." he rubs his temple.

"nuh-uh! it's already quarter to seven, and you still have a class?" you placed your arms on your waist, looking like a mother teaching her child a lesson.

"i won't attend any of it, so scram now" leona was about to get back to sleep when you pulled his hand upwards to stop him. "no, no, no. that's a big NO. you'll attend your class, okay? or else the teachers will keep on bugging me about it."

"ugh, why would they do that?" leona finally stood up.

you helped him dress. "because I'm your girlfriend?" you said, now buttoning his yellow vest.

leona raised a brow. "since when?"

"eh? I thought I was your girlfriend. I already confessed to you, remember?" you sighed.

"you did?"

"don't tell me you've forgotten about it?" you flashed a sad face. "i'll be upset, you know."

leona looked at your reflection while you were braiding his hair. "did I even accept your feelings back then?"

you crossed your arms. "oh no, not at all. you didn't even say anything after that, so I took your silence as a yes." you rolled your eyes and got back to work. "there. done!"

"your braid's a mess," leona commented though he's not bothering to fix it.

"what would you expect? i'm not good at tying other people's hair, okay?"

you both gave yourselves a final touch before getting ready to go out. leona was the first one to walk out when you called him.

"hey, leona! you forgot something!" you yelled, making leona turn to you. his face has the word 'WHAT' written on it.

"don't expect me to say thank you, herbivore. i didn't ask for your hel--"

"nah, it's not that. you forgot to say, 'i love you, babe!" you chuckled, walked closer to leona, and kissed him on his cheeks before running away. "do your best in your classes!"

"ugh, she's more annoying than ruggie," leona said, touching his cheek.

__________

sunday morning. leona thought he would enjoy his weekend, but how could he when this little furball was in front of him, smiling widely while holding a huge backpack?

"WAAAAAHH!!! i missed you, leona-ojitaaaan!" cheka jumped to hug leona.

"arg--cheka, get off, you're heavy" leona almost throw the child away.

"why are you here, huh?" leona asked the cub, who was now exploring his room, touching things.

"i want to see you, leona oji-tan! i want to play with you! i even brought my toys for us to play with hehe" cheka opened his bag, and leona could see the numerous stuffed toys.

he sighed. "how about we'll just go to a theme park? is that okay with you?"

cheka's eyes became starry. "a theme park? YEYY!" cheka was thrilled, and little did he know that leona was planning to lose him there and come back right after they arrived.

"good morning leonababessss---oh! is that cheka?!" the two lions turned to the door when another loud voice came in without even knocking. great. another annoying person is here too.

you rushed to cheka and bowed your head. "i've been wanting to meet you, cheka, your highness. you're so cutttee" you hugged cheka and pinched his cheeks repeatedly.

leona growled at the sight of you two. he couldn't stand it, so he forcefully pulled you and cheka apart. "cheka is hurtin', herbivore. you'd bette-"

"i'm not! I'm actually enjoying her hugs and pats!" cheka cut his Leona-ojitan's words. he smiled at you. "hello, I'm Cheka! nice to meet you too!"

you swore that you could die now with no regrets because of the cuteness of this little angel.

"hihihi, I'm Y/N! i'm your oji-tan's girlfriend! that means I'll be your auntie too!" you happily introduced yourself to the child.

"you wish herbivore," leona said.

"YEYYYY!!!" cheka exclaimed, and the two annoying creatures held each other's hands to spin around. leona sighed in frustration. too much annoyance for his weekend, really.

suddenly, a wise idea came into leona's mind while looking at the two.

"oi, herbivore. listen here...."

________

"i wonder where leona is right now...i thought he said he'll buy ice cream for us," you pouted while holding cheka's little paw-i mean, hand. they are already at the theme park, and it's getting dark now. leona was with you when you went here, but right now, he was nowhere to find.

cheka started to doze off. you noticed it and offered to carry the child, so he could sleep better. you both were in front of the carousel and had already finished trying out all the rides there.

"if it isn't Y/N. hello, what are you doing here?" you raised your head to see the green-haired man who called your name. "oh, hi trey! i'm waiting for leona. we couldn't find him anywhere, so yeah," you said, smiling sadly.

"then, would you like me to send you home? i could carry cheka if you want" trey didn't even finish his words because someone appeared behind him.

leona was there, holding two ice creams in his hands, glaring at trey. trey scratched his neck and smiled awkwardly. "i think your companion is already here. anyway, i gotta go too! bye, Y/N!"

you looked at Leona. "where were you?"

"i bought ice creams," he simply answered. the truth is, he was watching them from afar and originally planned to leave you two alone and ditch you, but when he saw the green-haired moron approaching his herbivore and Cheka, he changed his mind instantly.

cheka's eyes slowly opened, becoming bright when he saw his Leona-ojitan.

"leona-ojitan!"

he clung to Leona's arms like a monkey. "wow, it's the ice cream!" leona handed the other one to Cheka and was about to give the other one to you when he felt your head rest on his shoulder, and you were already asleep.

"auntie Y/N's exhausted!" cheka pointed at the sleeping you.

leona gently pats the girl's head and whispers something to your ear that Cheka could swear something along the lines of: "rest well herbivore."

________

"ruggie told me was around here--there! sleepy lion spotted!" you chuckled and slowly made your way to leona, who was napping peacefully on the ground.

I feel we're close enough

I wanna lock in your love

I think we're close enough

Could I lock in your love, baby?

you quietly approached him. your eyes wandered at leona's appearance, from head to toe, before slowly lying beside him. you rested your head on his arm and made yourself comfortable by placing an arm around his chest.

I feel we're close enough

I wanna lock in your love

I think we're close enough

Could I lock in your love, baby?

"i wish that this won't end, leona." you whispered. "i love youuuu" little did you know that leona is actually awake and is completely aware of your presence. the lion-man let out a purr when you hugged him tightly.

_______

leona's body can't move. he was shocked when you suddenly threw yourself away as a shield when an unknown object came flying your friends' way. you were just having a joint class in the field when it happened. the huge thing could endanger them, but you managed to protect them.

the students and professor vargas surrounded the object to prevent it from exploding, just in case. meanwhile, your friends came to aid you, who was bleeding badly. after recovering from his shock, leona immediately rushed his way to you, shoving the students who were on his way.

"herbivore, get a hold of yourself!" he kneeled and placed your head in his arms. you are coughing blood, and it also covers your body.

Now I've got you in my space

I won't let go of you

Got you shackled in my embrace

I'm latching on to you

"..leona"

"don't talk, stupid! you'll lose more blood if you-"

you mustered all your remaining strength to reach leona's face and caressed it gently to calm the man.

you looked around. so many familiar faces everywhere. your friends are there, and they were told about what had happened. you smiled. at least you got to see them one last time...

Now I've got you in my space

I won't let go of you

Got you shackled in my embrace

I'm latching on to you

leona held the hand that was on his face. you looked back at him, and your eyes were watering. "i still want to marry you..."

"then marry me," leona said without hesitation. "marry me....so stay."

a tear rolled down your cheeks. "how I wish i could...i'm happy to meet you. you fulfilled my dream." you managed to smile one more time. "i love you, leona."

leona closed his eyes and gave you the first and last kiss of goodbye. the moment your lips parted, you were no longer breathing.

"hi, leonababes!"

"...me, leona. i love you..."

"i wish that this won't end leona. i love youuu"

"nah, it's not that. you forgot to say, 'i love you, babe!"

a tear rolled down his cheeks without him knowing. "i love you too, herbivore..."

"you finally said it, huh? it's only unfortunate that she could no longer hear it from you" trey wiped his tears as he watched his close friend die.

summary: just a concerned lion (300+ words)

author's note: hii i'll be just dropping this one here

you were wandering in the botanical garden to find a specific plant that can help to heal your tiny little finger.

while walking, you suddenly felt as if you had stepped on something. when you looked down to check what it is, you're not surprised anymore to see that it's leona's tail. the beastman lying on the ground started to growl from the pain. "oh, it's just you, leona. I thought it was someone important." you rolled your eyes at the prince who was also glaring at you.

you continued to walk when leona's tail suddenly held your wrist to pull you back.

you became annoyed and looked back at leona. "what is it--oh!" leona grabbed you forcefully and made you sit beside him. he immediately checked your hand for any wounds. he already smelled blood coming from you and thought you might have hurt yourself for being so clumsy, and oh yes, he's right. he can clearly see the blood rushing out of your forefinger.

"what happened to this, herbivore?" he asked you while glaring at the wound.

"It's none of your business" you tried to pull your finger back, but leona was a lot stronger than you. "tell me what happened, or I won't let you go."

"Oh, is that a threat?" you faked a laugh. "How scary."

leona squinted his sleepy eyes. "fine, fine. I just ACCIDENTALLY cut myself while peeling mangoes back at heartslabyul."

leona sighed. See? This stupid herbivore is careless. "but you don't have to worry because trey will treat this later with herbal medicine. that's why I'm here, so please let me go so I can find the plant and heal myself immediately." as you were about to pull your hand from leona again, your eyes widened when he licked it.

HE.LICKED.THE.WOUND.

"oh, my God! leona!" leona laughed. "that was disgusting." you complained.

"at least, it's way better than that green-haired moron's treatment." he chuckled. "are you out of your mind?" you tried your best to hide your now riddle-like red face.

"well, that's how it works for us, beastmen" leona smirked and leaned closer. "and yes, I'm out of my mind, herbivore. don't you dare hurt yourself again, you idiot. you're making me worry." he said, kissing your forehead.
