Ahhh thank you so much for the last fic, Idia is my favorite and I feel like I never see anyone write for him but I loved yours so much. Would love to request again for a highball dirty Girl Scout with garnish and a “better than sex” cake as dessert 💙 thank you for sharing your writing and keep up the amazing work!

I'm really glad you enjoyed the last order anon and thank you so much for the kind words. Idia is also one of my favourites as he is my constant mood when outside the comfort of my house. Hope you enjoy this order too ♥♥

The Ignihyde dormitory was enveloped in a pleasant silence, broken by the gentle vibration of the technologies scattered around the place. The night usually brings good dreams, and many of the students were immersed in their dream fantasies.

Surprisingly, Idia was also lying on his back on his unmade bed, much earlier than his usual sleeping time. He had long since finished all his gaming activities – won six games in a row without any effort, bought tickets to that digital idol concert he liked and his gacha draws had been more than fruitful. He could sleep satisfied with the beautiful evening. However...

Sleep slipped from his grasp, as elusive as smoke. This was because you continued to toss uncontrollably between the sheets, preventing him from falling asleep. You pulled the covers, kicked them off, tossed and turned – often you even kicked and punched him, without real force, in the back.

Idia didn't think you were such a restless sleeper.

Maybe his bed was too uncomfortable for you? Strange, he slept very well there. The one in the Ramshackle dorm wasn't all that different from his bed. Maybe you were having a particularly exciting dream, which is why you kept moving like a cat basking in the sun? It was a probable hypothesis.

Idia was so tired, annoyed and intrigued to see you rolling between the blue sheets as if looking for the perfect position. With his elbow resting on the pillow and his chin on his palm he looked at you as your hair twisted around you like a natural scarf, as the blankets that you kept pulling towards you enveloped you like a little larvae waiting to become a beautiful butterfly...

Idia was torn between waking you up or sleeping in his gaming chair – not a comfortable option, but it was definitely more comfortable than the floor.

He breathed a tired sigh, grabbing one of the numerous pillows and kicking off the covers to get up, when he heard it…

A small, almost imperceptible cry. A sound of discomfort rose from your throat and reached his ears. Idia saw you curl up in a ball, as if seeking warmth or protection – but from what it was difficult to say. You trembled imperceptibly, your shoulders shook slightly and you pulled the blue sheets towards you as if they could give you the security you seemed to need.

“Maybe she's having a nightmare…” Idia murmured to no one in particular. Looking at your body language he could tell that was indeed the case.

Nightmares are a natural reaction of the brain to balance beautiful dreams, every person has their own fears that eventually manifest themselves in the dream world – even he sometimes relived the death of his dear younger brother when he closed his eyes – you were no exception either to that rule, you were still human after all.

However, it was the first time he had seen such a reaction from you. He had no idea how to react.

Did he have to wake you up? Abruptly interrupt that bad dream and let yourself vent through tears in the darkness of his room? Leave you dealing with it on your own until you wake up in a cold sweat? It didn't seem like a very good solution...

You would have lost sleep and he would have seen it at the crack of dawn, luckily, if he had gone down that path.

He wasn't very good at consoling others or seeing the bright side of things, in the relationship you were the backbone of those qualities. What was he supposed to do in that situation?

Seeing that your tremors didn't stop and that your little cries turned into sobs – it must have been a horrible dream you were experiencing – Idia asked himself: what would you have done if you were in his place? How would you have reacted if he was the one shaken by terrible tremors and ill-contained sobs in the middle of the night?

The first thing he did was gently grab you by the shoulders, dragging you across the mattress as close to him as possible. He untied the cocoon of blue sheets you were curled up in, so that it no longer felt like you were suffocating in that tangle and wrapped you in a gentle hug from behind, his chest adhering to your back, transmitting his natural warmth to you.

“It's okay...” he said in a soft voice, resting his chin on your shoulder. His arms wrapped around you more tightly, nipping your agitation in the bud. “It's okay Bluebell. I got you…”

Your hand frantically sought his, intertwining your small fingers with his long and tapered ones, searching for that physical contact that seemed to reassure you. “Don't leave...” he heard you say between sobs, – yes, it was indeed a very bad dream if you were dreaming of him leaving the only source of light he had found in the Underworld – and once again, he reassured you in a caressing voice, “It's just a nightmare, darling. It is not real.”

“Don't...leave me...” a tear, having escaped the barrier of soft eyelashes, ran down your cheek and Idia was quick to wipe it away, feeling the salty taste on his lips. “I'm not going anywhere. – he repeated, holding you and bending his spine over your smaller frame to give you more physical contact – I'm right here, next to you.”

You stopped shaking and your sobs subsided a little. Your hand tightened on his, as if to prove that he wouldn't leave like your dream made you believe. Idia held your hand tighter in return, intertwining his legs with yours, like a silent promise. 

Was he a little embarrassed of those sweet attitudes and words that didn't belong to him? Yes.

Would he stop and pull away from you once you got back to normal sleep? Absolutely not.

Just as you were always there for him – even when he claimed he didn't deserve such treatment – he would be there for you. If the next day you wouldn't have remembered anything, and you would have asked why he was spooning you from behind, Idia would certainly have kept the thing a secret. But now you needed him, to feel his touch, his voice... and he certainly wouldn't hold back.

“Sleep without worries, Bluebell. I'll keep you safe.”

The Vice Squad - "Into the Grid" Concept Designs Here's an old chiptune to set the mood while ya read. ----- Finally done~! I had a lot of fun with these; brainstorming the designs while reminiscing about retro consoles and games. I thought it would be fun to have each character represent a different gaming genre, also as a way of helping me decide on each character's aesthetics. I think the hardest part for me was deciding on color palettes. I wanted each design to be reminiscent of retro 80s arcades while still retaining their dorm colors in some way. Anxious Goodra was a big help with that, thank you so much~ As for what the card types will be: Idia and Lilia will be the SSRs (since they're the big time gamers) Kalim and Cater will be the SRs. As for any extra cards you would earn by reading the story? I have no idea. If anybody wants to make "gamer" versions of the other characters, go right ahead. Why should I hog all the fun? Tab browsing is also highly recommended to read my chicken scratch.

Day 26: hobbies

I like writing, Idia likes math, and we both like gaming. What's a better way to spend time together than putting all those things together.

“No Azul, You still have to roll the persuasion check it doesn’t matter how convincing your words were its the mechanics of the game”

“Well that just doesn’t make any sense. My argument is air tight and frankly the shopkeeper should be thanking me for the amazing offer I’ve placed before him” I gave him a deadpan look as I sat at the head of the table.

“If I give you advantage will you just roll the dice?” The shit eating grin he gives me lets me know that’s exactly what he was after to begin with. Its not like he even needs it with how he’s stacked his bonuses. While Azul tallies up his final score, Idia gets my attention.

“Wehehe while the shopkeeper is distracted I’m gonna have my wizard cast invisibility on our rogue.” My smile drops as I realize what they’re planning to do.

“No. no.....no guys come on you have to stop murder hoboing all of my shopkeepers to steal their merch this is so unfair.”

“Lighten up Sea Bunny. You’re the one who said this game was all about imagination and out of the box decisions. I just wanna squeeze him a bit.”

“Murder is not an out of the box thought. Fine, ya know what I’m going to allow it but mark my words there will be consequences. You won’t know what they are or when it will happen but there will be consequences.” Despite how annoying I think some of their decisions are, I can’t help the small smile that tugs at my lips. Watching them sort through the loot and have fun makes me happy I introduced them to D&D, plus I’ve never seen Idia so talkative. All in all I can be a merciful DM as long as they’re having fun

Day 24: flowers

I sat in the field, my hands idly running through the soft grass, watching Idia and Ortho as they tinkered around with their latest contraption. It looked like some kind of drone to me. When he explained to me what it was for it still just sounded like a drone. He said that it was more complicated than that and my normie brain just couldn’t comprehend it. Either way they seemed to be having fun and it got Idia outside so it was a win-win situation. My hands brushed against a thicker area in the grass, my eyes glancing back to see dandelions; quite a bit of them growing along the outskirts where I sat. I picked one, twirling the yellow flower in my hand, an idea popping into my mind. I pulled more of the flowers out, making myself a small pile as my eyes wandered back to the brothers, hands absentmindedly beginning their work. It was about fifteen more minutes before they figured out whatever the issue was and I could hear them celebrating, a high-five being exchanged between them. I stood up, dusting off the grass from my bottom, and walking over to them with my surprise behind my back.

“All finished?”

“Nii-san was able to figure out the problem and we reprogrammed it.”

“Wehehe yeah, it was basically just that the sensors were picking up to much junk data and overloading the processors with nonsensical directions but we got it fine-tuned now.” I have no idea what any of that means but I smile up at him as I see his wide and happy smile, a soft giggle escaping me. I bring out what I’d been working on and set a flower crown on each of their heads.

“Well here is a prize for all your hard work.” Orthos eyes go wide and his eyes crinkle with a smile while Idia’s face flushes.

“Thank you Nee-san!”

“Y-yeah.....thanks I guess.” Idia’s words sounded unenthusiastic but I could see the small hint of a smile tugging at his lips, the setting sun reflecting nicely off the yellow flowers in his blue hair.

Day 22: protection

I coughed the smoke out of my lungs as I ducked behind some rubble. The fake Ignihyde entrance was practically in ruins and green flames were everywhere. When we’d all gathered in Idias dream to bring Malleus here we weren’t sure what to expect. Him going all dragon form was way down my list of possibilities, though I’ve always wanted to fight a dragon like a heroine in one of my fantasy novels. I readjusted my grip on the sword I was holding, thank you dreamscape for making that possible, and went to step back out with Grim before I was yanked to a stop. I turned around to see Idias worried face and his hand wrapped tight around my arm.

“What are you doing?? You can’t tank this boss you should be running support. Ell—”

“Excuse me! I have done this six times thank you very much. I know what I’m doing now let go.”

“NO! You’ve being acting reckless and stubborn this whole time and you’re gonna get hurt. Just like you did during the other overblots since it seems like you’ve forgotten.”

“It’s a dream Idia, nothing that happens here is gonna matter once we stop him and wake up”

“You don’t know that! Leave the fighting to the SSR troublemakers for once and stop putting yourself in danger for other people. I don’t—I can’t lose you too, not after finally getting you, so just listen to me for once. Let me protect you this time.”

“I am not some damsel in distress, I don’t need you to protect me. I appreciate it Idia but I am not the type of person to just sit back and watch while my friends are in trouble. I won’t let them get hurt anymore.”

“I don’t care about them but I do care about you ugghhh just listen I have a plan and—” Idias voice faded into the background as my eyes flickered to the movement behind him. We’d been standing in the middle of the floor while arguing and neither of us had noticed Malleus getting closer as he battled the others. I didn’t think as my hands pressed into Idias chest and pushed him down, Malleus tail just passing over him before it slammed right into me; knocking me back and into one of the few pillars still standing. My body slid down and crumpled to the ground, everything fuzzy and painful, Idias voice screaming my name hitting my ears before everything went black and I couldn’t breathe. I tried to move but there was something heavy pining me down, there was a small gap of light that I could make out movement, voices muffled.

“Ortho!! Help me get it off of her” I groaned softly as the weight lifted and your arms grabbed me, pulling me into your lap as your frantic hands ran over my body pushing the small bit of healing magic you had into me.

“Are you crazy!? Why did you do that?”

“Well people do crazy things, when they’re in love…” I winced as I sat up your face softening slightly before your hair flickered red, eyes glaring over to Malleus

“This has gone on long enough, I’ll mop this up in one turn.”
