I want to believe that when Grim wakes up because of your whimpers during a nightmare; he slips between your arms so you can hug him. Sometimes he even murmurs "I'm here" until your face relaxes.

But it doesn't matter how hard I want to believe it, because that piece of fur would probably put a pillow on your face until you stopped kicking.

twst characters with the hanahaki disease

synopsis — How do they react after a flowering plant grows in their lungs?

characters — Idia Shroud, Rook Hunt & Silver

warning — Mentions of blood and death.

note — Angsty

To be honest, he wasn't thrilled when Azul brought you to the board game club. You didn't even know the rules for most of the games!

At least you pay attention when he is attempting to explain it to you. Is somewhat cute, you know? The way you expectantly look at him while he info dumps.

"I don't mind it, I actually like when you talk about the things you enjoy", you often remind him after Idia gets all awkward for being a nerd in front of you.

It doesn't take too long for him to get comfortable around you.

He endlessly mocks you when you commit a mistake or fall for his strategies, but you know he doesn't mean it because he helps you immediately after.

And you actually listen to his recommendations! Even if they are old movies or unsuccessful video game sagas, you take your time to search for them and talk about them with him.

Although he never accepts, you keep inviting him to your normie activities. You think about him.

But he soon realizes he knows nothing about you. He is only a club partner.

He is not like the rest of your friends. He is a background character.

When you go back to your world, he is going to be a faint memory of "the guy whom I played with sometimes".

The worst of it is that he lacks the courage to change that. He wants to be that guy who always knows what to get for your birthday because he just knows you that well. To be the first you think of when something bad happens.

The first time he coughed flowers, he was in the darkness of his room. He did nothing. He stayed on the floor, watching the bloody petals in his hand.

The fact never sinks in for him. He refuses to accept he loves you, and by extension, he refuses to believe he is sick.

His health is worse every day. And yet he keeps going to the club just to see you.

Is a sort of punishment. He deserves the pain because he couldn't do anything to be with you.

Ortho is terrified. He knows what is happening, but his older brother forbid him to do anything about it.

Idia could never get rid of his feelings for you. He has you on such a high pedestal; it is unimaginable for him to see you just as a friend.

A deep part of him knows what is going to happen if he keeps in denial. But he prefers not to think about it.

Not even Azul can pinpoint what's wrong, because Idia has always been such a closed person. And he probably would have never noticed if not by an incident.

Azul is talking about you, unaware of how Idia's face goes paler. And the Ignihyde dorm leaders ends spitting right in front of him.

The merman tries to make his club-mate rationalize. "Don't you give up before you try. Tell [Name] what's happening."

It doesn't matter how hard he tries. He warns him about his imminent death, but Idia's conclusion is always the same:

"Even if I die, I want to go being in love with them."

"Well, there's no point in dying if they won't even know how you felt."

You end up discovering it when he falls one day during his club activities, and Ortho cries to you while his brother is resting in the infirmary.

He has been carrying this burden for so long that you are afraid you can't turn around the effects of the illness by now. But all you can do is try.

You make such a good couple with Vil.

From the moment he saw you, he felt intrigued. And he is not a man who denies his wishes.

At first, his interest was merely a whim. It's not everyday you find someone from an unknown world, after all.

But he ended finding something captivating in your personality. So he stayed.

Even after you asked for his help to get close with his dorm leader.

He is not a man who denies his wishes... But admitting he likes... No, that he loves you, leaves him in such a vulnerable position.

So he acts as if didn't hurt to plan surprise dates for his two best friends. He often surprises himself when, while trying to convince Vil to go out with you, he talks about everything he likes about you.

"Well, if they are such a great person, why don't you go out with them?" Because they are in love with you, Vil, not with me.

He could sabotage every encounter he designs for you, or even be straightforward and tell you Vil isn't that interested in a relationship right now.

But refusing his feelings because you are in love with his friend sounds way more honorable than doing it because he is afraid of commitment.

After another failed attempt, you two are sitting on a bench, watching the sunset.

"Don't worry about it," you answer after he apologizes for the lack of results. "I'll just have to keep trying. You don't give up when you like someone!"

He has a coughing fit immediately after and tells you he probably caught a cold, so it's better for him to go and rest.

How lucky for him, you didn't see the blood...

Extracting the flowers would be against his ideals. Love is the most beautiful feeling.

But after some months, the pain grows until it is unbearable. So he slowly drifts away.

Vil may feel something is wrong, but Rook is too cunning and always finds the way to hide the petals.

He has been avoiding you so much that you lose any sense of shame when you catch him going inside the bathroom and decide to follow him.

Rook isn't able to even get to a sink when he spits blood on the floor.

Worried, you run to his side and catch him, trying to help him sit.

Your first concern is to get him to the infirmary, but then you look carefully at the floor and you notice full flowers covered in blood.

No matter how many times you ask who is the person he is in love with, he stays quiet.

"Is it my fault...?" That's the only question that makes him react.

He is the one who has been dealing with the disease, and yet you are the one bawling your eyes out. "Rook, I don't want to hurt you!"

"This is not your fault. It's mine."

He knows you love him. But he also knows you love your world, and he refuses to be the one who separates you from it.

Until this point, your relationship has never been official. But there was a sort of understanding between you two that whatever you guys had going on was way beyond a friendship.

You don't need to call him your boyfriend by now. You both are happy in each other's presence.

But when Silver starts to consider calling you his own, he also needs to face the cons.

If he were to move forward to define the relationship, there would be something attaching you to Twisted Wonderland.

He adores you, but the idea that you may not choose him over your home scared him.

That fact depressed him a lot. Now every time he is with you, although he enjoys your company, he is also constantly worrying. "I'm going to miss them when they leave" becomes a common thought.

Slowly, his meetings with you become heartrending, and he prefers to avoid them.

Silver is in a panic when the flowers appear.

His first instinct, of course, is to ask Lilia for help.

Lilia strongly suggests that he be honest with you. "The cause of your suffering is your own fear," he told him.

"I need to ask you something. Please be honest with me," he asked you the next day. "If you had the opportunity to go back to your home right now, would you take it?"

You doubted and stayed quiet for some time. When you finally found the right words, you looked at him with such sad eyes that he regretted even making the question "I love this place, and I love all of you... yet I can't help but wonder if my family is searching for me. They probably think it's their fault, or that they could have prevented my disappearance... I don't want them to suffer for the next years questioning themselves if I'm dead."

Although he came prepared for you to say you wanted to leave, in the end he couldn't say anything and decided to not tell you about the disease.

So he just says he supports whatever you decide.

Lilia said nothing to the rest of Diasomnia, but they figure it out quite quickly.

Sebek even encourages him to get rid of his feelings for you. Since you both are suffering, what's the point of continuing?

Sebek's words may be harsh, but the truth is everyone is deeply concerned.

His father, who at the beginning was very clear about not getting involved because this was something Silver had to figure out on his own, ends up telling you the truth because he can't take his son's suffering anymore.

Now you have not only the weight of your grieving family, but also the guilt of Silver's suffering and potential death.

He insists you should decide not based on him, but how could you not?

You don't even know if there is a way back. But that speck of hope it's what made you survive through those uncertain times. If you ease Silver's fears now and, in the future, the chance to go back home appears, you don't know how you would react.

But if that door never opens and you reject Silver's feelings, you'll dwell in regret the rest of your life in Twisted Wonderland, knowing he'll never love you again.

Your lover is getting sicker by the day. So, what will you choose?

heartstanbyul as an idol group

synopsis — Hearstanbyul dorm in a boy band

characters — Riddle Rosehearts, Cater Diamond, Trey Clover, Ace Trappola & Deuce Spade

note — Short headcanons, mostly to give you guys something to read while I'm working on the masterlist and rule page.

Probably in the spectacle world since a young age. Used to be a child actor because of his mother, and actually played minor roles in some movies. He ended up taking part in some survival shows when he got older.

Since he is the one with more experience, he becomes the leader.

He’s a very strict leader and is often criticized in social media for being “narcissistic”. Then there are the fans who have followed him since his pre-debut era and constantly say stuff like “he would shine more as a solo artist.”

Riddle doesn’t let those comments affect him. He’s been under the public eye for a long time, so even if on bad days he gets taken down by the hate, he always recovers.

He can be strict, but no one in the group doubts he is the best one to rule. He uses his years of experience to help his members. Stays extra hours if someone is struggling with the choreography, or needs to practice their singing.

Also keeps the interviewers and ill-intended people on line. Whenever someone makes a malicious question, he’ll protect his group no matter what, always maintaining composure.

He can do pretty much everything: acting, singing, dancing, and modeling. But doesn’t truly enjoy getting out of his comfort zone.

May be great with the media, but the moment someone yells compliments at him, he gets all red.

Won’t mention it, but he also feels so humiliated by those pictures where his height difference it’s clear. The other members know, because whenever someone tries to take a photo, Riddle sits down.

The face of the group. Many people got invested in the group because of him, but once they know the other members, they end up biasing someone else.

You know someone is new to the fandom if their favorite is Cater.

Is friends with several people in the industry. He always uploads photos with other idols (mostly Lilia and Kalim) or actors. Probably is also the MC in some variety shows.

Has dating scandals all the time, none of them are true.

Makes live videos constantly: during practices, to show his skincare routine, etc, etc… Cater just feeds the fandom so well.

Pranks the other members a lot. No one trusts him anymore. Uploads weird pictures of his group mates, but the moment someone does it to him, he acts all petty.

Definitely surprises everyone from time to time by mentioning popular jokes from the fandom.

“Haha it was a wardrobe malfunction”, shut up Cater. We know you unbutton your shirt before your presentations. Dude could take off his shirt and act as if it was never intended.

Some people accuse him of being only a visual. Acts as if he didn’t care but constantly tries to improve his dancing and singing.

Is called “the group’s dad”. Doesn’t really participate in the joke but won’t deny it.

Riddle and him often have night talks where the leader vents about his worries.

The one who never intended to be an idol, but ended up being recruited by an entertainment company because of his looks.

He would be somewhat involved in writing songs alongside Riddle. But most of the time, they only make slight changes.

Since he doesn’t talk too much about his personal life and doesn’t upload his social media as often as the rest of the members, the moment he does it, it’s a big thing.

Trey also has a lot of famous friends, but unless the other part mentions it, no one discovers it. It shocks everyone when Vil Schoenheit mentions him in one of his posts.

Definitely knows the effect he has on people and will act more bold sometimes to make a reaction. But ends up feeling a bit awkward.

Such a gentleman with female idols. Offers his jacket if he notices they are uncomfortable with their wardrobe and never actually touches them when placing a hand on their shoulders.

He’s probably been offered a lot of contracts. Chose his current company because his brother told him to. That, or because of a random reason like, there’s an excellent restaurant in front of the offices.

The most active in social media after Cater. He also constantly jokes with him.

You either like him or hate him. There’s no middle ground. Ace Trappola your problematic fave UGH

The guy makes random streams at two am on work days. Also uploads a lot of stuff to his ig account and deletes it ten minutes after.

Will find your location and personally MURDER YOU if you ask him to be cute on camera.

He’s friends with a lot of rookie artists.

Manager has one rule for him: shut tf up during interviews.

He either ends up spoiling new projects or saying really dumb stuff like when he admitted believing all eggs were chickens.

Got recruited to be the bad boy of the group and ended being such a sweet boy that they just kept him in.

Terrified of female idols. You can see his hands shake whenever he’s next to one.

That thing when male idols put their hand over a girl’s shoulder without touching her? Yes, that’s Deuce Spade.

There’s a recurrent joke in the media that Deuce is too innocent, so often during interviews and variety games hosts say questionable stuff just to see his reaction.

awkward reader trying to hold his hand

synopsis — It hasn't been too long since you officialize'd you relationship with your lover, so it's still complicated to express all your feelings.

characters — Cater Diamond, Leona Kingscholar, Floyd Leech & Malleus Draconia.

After Cater held your hand once while walking through a crowded hall, you were expecting him to do it again.

But it never happened...

No one has ever held your hand. And you thought it was really cute.

You know your boyfriend would be the last person on earth to laugh at such a request; he is all in for couple stuff after all.

Even knowing that, saying something like "please hold my hand" is so weird.

A lot of your tries were futile, and one of those tries you were unaware of your friends watching everything from afar.

The moment you are left alone with them, the teasing begins.

"So [Name], today when you almost fell in Hearstanbyul... were you trying to grab Cater's hand?"

You cover your face with your hands and that's all the confirmation they needed.

Everyone had your feelings all figured out (except Ace and Sebek.)

Jack's advice is to go for it. You two are in a relationship and it’s a normal thing to ask for. You can't just be all shy around your boyfriend.

Epel and Deuce are more understanding. Neither of them could ask for such a thing if they had a lover.

One thing led to another and eventually the "Get Cater to grab [Name]'s hand committee" was founded. (It was a joke name, but with time everyone started using it unironically.)

It's honestly not a surprise that the committee worked for nothing.

You would be alone with your boyfriend and suddenly your entire group of friends appeared, all of them mouthing you "grab his hand!"

They even did such obvious things as "Haha, let's compare hands, you guys go first."

Ace and Deuce take advantage of being in the same dorm as him and constantly ask him things like: "let's say I wanted to take someone's hand. How would you do it? Care to give a visual representation?"

They are all sitting around you two, watching intensely when your boyfriend finally snaps.

"You guys are acting really weird," Cater reprimands his juniors and asks you to leave with him.

It took help from Cater's clones to stop your energetic friends from following secretly.

Just to be sure, you two kept walking around the campus until you got tired and sat on a bench. While talking about his day, Cater laid his hands on his legs.

You are staring subtly... This is the perfect moment, but you can't get yourself to do it!

"[Name]... Are you trying to...?" He looks at you with a devilish smile.

You immediately deny everything and try to change the topic. But you feel your partner's eyes on you.

Cater lets out a laugh and his hand gets on the bench, on the space between you two.

He won't say anything, but you understand his intentions. With a bashful look all over your face, your hand slowly moves until it finds his.

Your love squeezes your hand between his.

"This is nice..." you mutter.

Leona is not too enthusiastic about holding hands. Of course, he would comply if you asked him to, but that's the issue... You don't know how to ask...

And the best way is to keep it natural, don't you think?

But your partner immediately feels the shift in your mood when you intend to grab his hand.

Judging by the nervous looks you give to his hand, he figures it out pretty quickly.

Heh, how cute.

Unfortunately, this man is a bastard and will test your determination.

When you two are walking together and you finally gather enough courage to reach his hand... he stretches!

You once tried the "ooh let's compare hand sizes" but he laughed and told you that his hands were obviously larger and there was no point in doing so.

It's kind of funny to him. You look all tense moments before you try to jump for it.

Some days that you don't make any advances, he gives little pushes, like sitting beside you and leaving his hand right next to yours, or puts it over a table right in front of you...

AND THEN IMMEDIATLY PULLS AWAY THE SECOND YOU TRY TO GRAB IT (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

He was cruel enough to extend his hand to you once you two were leaving, as if he was offering to take yours.

Guess what happened when you got up from your seat? He turned around and began walking.

He only did it once, because the dejected look on your face that one time actually made him feel guilty.

You start to think that he knows what he is doing, but its all so confusing...

Sometimes he looked amused, but other times he acted aloof, asking you "Did something happen? Did you need anything?" as if he was truly clueless.

"Hey Leona, that one time in the greenhouse when you were having a nap, and I was with you..."

"Aha"

"Where you awake? Because you abruptly moved, and I was trying to, ehm..."

"Oh, did I? What about it?"

"... forget about it."

But you eventually lose the courage and resign. Maybe it's not time yet.

Alright, Leona didn't do any of that because he enjoyed your struggle (yes he did), but because he was expecting you'd be direct about your wishes.

Right now it's something silly like holding hands, but if you two can't be honest about this stuff... Will you tell him when something bothers you?

"You know you can tell me anything," he told you once. You both were resting in the botanical gardens and the comment took you aback because you thought he was sleeping.

"Yes, I know, and you can do the same..."

"You say that, but you still feel ashamed to ask for certain things."

"Is this about the... hand thing?" He finally opens his eyes and only does it to give you an unimpressed look. So he knew, you thought.

"[Name], I am your boyfriend, and I want you to be sincere if you ever want something... I want you to be enough comfortable around me." His words were softer on that last part, but you managed to hear it.

Watching your lover being so considerate of you warmed your heart and gave you the motivation you needed to finally tell him:

"Leona, would you hold my hand?"

"No, do it yourself."

"What?!"

The very next day, you walked to him as if you had an important mission.

You didn't even allow him to say hi when you just grabbed his hand, tightly.

It took a whole pep talk in front of the mirror, and you couldn't even look into his eyes. But you did it! Good work.

Acting as if nothing had happened, you just began walking without letting go.

"Oh, [Name], did you just-?" He said with that annoying tone of his, smirking.

"Don't even mention it..." You cut him off.

There's no lack of PDA in a relationship with Floyd. You are deeply grateful for your affectionate partner, because you wouldn't able to initiate it.

Actually, you were used to holding hands with him everywhere you went. Well, to be more precise, you were used to Floyd pulling you by the arm everywhere.

But Floyd is the one that always initiated contact.

You are getting worried about not showing enough fondness.

You want to show to him how much you enjoy spending time together.

The thing is, you can't find the right moment.

When couples hold hands, it's a sweet moment of bonding, and Floyd is not the kind of guy to walk with you beneath the moonlight.

And since it's so hard for you to express your feelings, you want to be sure he'll get your intentions. It would be no good if you just grabbed his hand while you two were joking around.

Also, most of the time, Jade and Azul are there and... You couldn’t be expected to get emotionally vulnerable around those two, could you?!

So your first aim is to create the perfect mood to demonstrate your love.

You invite him to eat in a beautiful yet hidden space in the garden, although it may not be hidden enough because Grim keeps getting in the way...

Of course, you requested your cat to give you some time alone with your partner, but Grim gave you a confused look and asked why would you want to be alone with Floyd and you didn't find the guts to tell him your corny plan...

Then, on a night you tried to watch movies with your boyfriend the Adeuce combo came unannounced and Floyd got too distracted tormenting them.

(And the last person you want to see you being all lovey-dovey is that bastard of Ace!)

Maybe the place is not that important. So you better focus on creating the perfect ambience.

You bring him presents, thinking he'll be so touched you'll be able to make your advance.

Oh, naïve [Name]...

Floyd of course happily jumps to you whenever you bring him something. That, or he takes the gift from your hands.

The scarce times he walks you to your dorm, you don't have the opportunity to try anything because he is already hugging you.

On your last ray of hope, you even ask the Octavinelle guys to grant you some free time with Floyd.

Big mistake. Azul tried to charge you to "organize the perfect date for you" and Jade keeps making uncomfortable questions about what sort of things you want to do with his brother...

"Well, you are my sibling-in-law after all. It's only natural for me to joke with you. I wouldn't get mad if you did the same to me..."

He wouldn't get mad because he would find the perfect way to revenge against you!

The sun is almost setting when you find Floyd sleeping beneath a tree.

That particular day Azul had come to you asking for help because your boyfriend had disappeared since the morning and refused to attend class or his job in the lounge.

You were actually going to give up when, by luck, you found him.

You sigh and sit at his side. You'll wake him up later. It's so difficult to appreciate Floyd in such a quiet peace that it would be a waste to not take this chance.

Without realizing it, you are left smiling at him. You are truly very grateful for him coming into your life...

Being in a relationship is such an unknown terrain for you, even scary. But you are so happy every time Floyd is close to you.

And you want to work hard to make him feel the same way...

With that thought on mind, your hand moves to grab his.

"Oh, it's the first time you grabbed my hand instead, heh!"

"You're awake!?"

"You were sitting so quietly I was curious about what you were going to do, hehe. I never thought you'd do these things in my sleep, Shrimpy..."

"Wait, its not like that!" Even after trying to put your hand away, Floyd just grabbed it harder. "I've been wanting to do this for a while. I know I'm not a very affectionate person... But it's not because I don't want to! I'm not really used to it, and I don't want you to feel that you are doing all the work..."

"Uhm? I already know that," he sounds as if he truly didn't understand your struggle, "you spend time with me and make me presents. If you didn't like me, why would you do that?"

"I mean, yes, but... I like it when you are direct, so I wanted to do the same..."

When you look up, Floyd is giving you a giant smile. He even looks as if your words just melted him.

"Aw, Shrimpy, you are so cute!" He won't let go of your hand even after he charges to hug you.

In the end, it seems all you needed to do was be honest with your feelings.

"Hey, hey! Why don't you try kissing me now?"

"Wait!"

You guys are so dense.

Early in the relationship, Malleus noticed how you would longingly look at his hand during the night walks you two shared.

He also noticed an ashamed look on your face every time you parted ways.

Lilia is the most knowledgeable person he knows, so it's only natural for him to go ask his caretaker for advice.

"They must be too shy to try and hold your hand," he answered him.

Although Lilia recommended him to just be patient, the matter never left Malleus' head.

To be honest, neither you or your partner were too touchy, so these couple activities never worried him...

But now that you two are dating, it would be nice to try...

Now this is an issue. He can't just grab your hand now, not after how much effort you are putting into showing your feelings to him.

And if he tried to ask you, you could get embarrassed that he saw so easily through you.

You see, Malleus is waiting for you to take the initiative... And you are waiting for him to do it! Leading to both of your tries to be a failure.

So, in order to get him to hold your hand, you started painting your nails. Cater alleged that your boyfriend would then ask to have a "closer look" as a pretense to intertwine fingers.

He complimented them, but didn't exactly reach to see them.

The fae followed Lilia's tips and tried to use the "wow, your hand is so small" excuse. But when your palms touched, both of you stayed still in silence, looking at your hands doing nothing. But then you guys got too embarrassed and ended up separating them like idiots!

When you walked at each other's side, one of you would subtly touch the other's hand. It led to nothing.

You didn’t know why it was so difficult! He was your boyfriend it was not as if he didn't know you liked him. And you two are always alone, so no one else is going to see..

In a last try to build the perfect romantic scene, you organize a cute picnic.

And everything proceeds to go wrong...

The basket with tasty food has a missing half, courtesy of Grim.

You were so nervous that you laughed awkwardly at half of the things Malleus said but; he said nothing funny.

And since you were dedicating so much of your attention to his hand, you both stayed in uncomfortable silence at least twice.

"Well, I enjoyed the food..." You are both already leaving when Malleus speaks, and you finally laugh.

"Everything had tiny paw prints."

Looking at him smile fondly at you, you feel so at ease. You don't want to craft flawless moments with him. There's no point in that.

What you really want is to let your relationship advance at the pace it needs to take.

"Can I tell you something dumb? I actually planned all this expecting you to finally hold my hand."

"Did you want me to hold your hand? ... I was waiting for you to do it."

Minutes after, you two kept explaining to the other all the times when you tried to make an advance.

It was kind of embarrassing, but both of you ended laughing about it.

"[Name], is it fine if I...?" Your lover extends his hand, and without response you immediately take it.

You both walk back to Ramshackle holding hands. You really wanted to act as if it was no big deal, but every time you talk, a tiny giggle escapes.

I do not condone infidelity but if I was trapped in a loveless marriage during the 1800s to save my family fortune and I met a mysterious foreigner named Rook Hunt which whom I had to remain five feet apart while talking in public to maintain our image because people have seen the way we longingly look at each other's eyes and rumours are spreading, after months of writing him secret letters and sharing tiny messages in our conversations only we understand and him climbing to my window during the night I would totally jump to his arms when he proposed me to escape with him to France to finally live away from other's expectations and live a passionate romance.

Hypothetically speaking, I mean.

hiding from the dorm leaders that they are your soulmate

synopsis — Your soulmate has always been a delicate topic. A topic that even brought you pain. So when you finally meet the one, maybe is better to keep quiet...

characters — Riddle Rosehearts, Azul Ashengrotto, Vil Schoenheit & Malleus Draconia

note — Angsty with happy ending

(✿˘̩̩̩̩̩̩ㅅ˘̩̩̩̩̩̩ ) — This was due December, last year. Originally, every dorm leader was featured, but after more than a month of writer's block, I've decided to uploaded it.

The usual adjective used when referring to you was "dreamer". And who could blame you? Your childhood was a difficult one, after all.

Growing up so lonely, you at least had something to hold on to: your soulmate.

You spent so many nights looking for comfort, imagining how glorious life would be once you met them. Every time you found yourself crying or having trouble, the only thing keeping you motivated was the urge to meet the love of your life.

Even if you constantly repeated to yourself how much you would love them no matter what, expectation can be harmful.

When you met Riddle, you didn't hear the church bells in the background, nor colorful fireworks illuminated the skies. It was more of... disappointing.

Meeting your soulmate is supposed to be this perfect scenario. You watch it all the time in media, every person who has met their one and only can agree on one thing: the meeting is the most important accomplishment in your life.

And when yours was not as expected...

You could have taken an awkward or tense ambient, but he seems so unapproachable.

So you end up hesitating when he asks for your name. (As he is lecturing you.)

It wasn't premeditated, but you ended spilling a wrong surname.

"Of course I'll tell him, I just need to wait for the perfect moment..." You used to tell yourself.

How are you supposed to create the perfect moment when your soulmate is so uncomplying!? Never arrives at time to your surprise romantic evenings because he was busy; when you try to get him to open up to you, he gets so reluctant; and when you actually accomplish to get him to the planned place, he totally ruins the mood!

Maybe there was a sort of mistake? Many people have the last name "Rosehearts", don't they? ... It's not as if many people were named Riddle, however.

You gave up on it and were determined to wait for your actual soulmate to appear. Since you were no longer clinging to the ideal moment with him, you became more comfortable around the redhead.

You realized you quite enjoy spending time with Riddle when you are not desperately scheming a movie scene.

As time passes, you fall in love with him. But even then, that's not enough to convince you that Riddle is your soulmate. It's not that he is lacking something, but accepting that you have met the one...

What if something goes wrong then? And you are no longer allowed to comfort yourself with the thought of your perfect partner? Accepting that Riddle's name is written on your wrist means saying goodbye to the wonderful concept you had so carefully built.

But the guilt soon appears when you have a glimpse of the dorm leader's hand and you see your name.

What are you going to do now? You have no idea of how he'll react when you reveal you've known you two are predestined all this time and yet stayed quiet.

You end up telling everything to Trey.

"He will never forgive me, I was very egoistic..." you whimper, while the green-haired guy is patting your back.

Trey said nothing, because you were crying too much and probably wouldn't be able to understand anything, and also he noticed the intruder listening everything from behind the door.

The next weeks in the dorm were chaotic. No one dared to bother Riddle even a bit, because his temper was terrible.

You didn't have to tolerate his anger only because he didn't even share a word with you.

Although you couldn't understand his sudden shift, you left him alone. You felt like you deserved that treatment. As for Riddle, after noticing your lack of effort to come closer, he got even worse.

Absolutely disappointed in both of you, Trey had to interfere.

He locked you two in a room and told you to talk to each other, ignoring your pleas as he walked away.

You were waiting for Riddle to start a conversation, because you were too ashamed to speak to him. But he refused to even look at you.

"Did you figure it out?"

"I heard you talking with Trey"

And then another entire minute of silence.

"I just wanted to say it's not about you..."

"You are wrong. It is about me. It isn't your decision to prevent me from finding my soulmate. Even if you didn't like me, you should have told me, I-"

You had seen Riddle getting mad tons of times, but the way he looked at you was upmost hurt.

"No matter who it was, I would probably never been satisfied. I am happy that it is you! Maybe you can not say the same about me now... I was frightened to accept I had met the one because it feels so vulnerable, and I know it was egoist. I never wanted to hurt you."

Many reasons come to your mind, but you aren't able to build the words. Your "eh" and "um" keep filling the silence.

"I don't want the things to stay like this... But I don't feel ready to forgive you."

You told him to take his time, and that you were going to work hard to express your regret.

During the next minutes, you explained why you told him the wrong name, and how you tried so hard to craft the flawless revelation.

Riddle is a little unconvinced, but after listening, he decides he doesn't want to waste time fighting with you.

He says nothing, but when you two get ready to leave, he grabs your hand and walks to the door.

It could have been perfect, if only Trey hadn't thought your chat would take way more than it took. Leaving both trapped for almost an two hours.

When you both were kids, you had introduced yourself with a beaming smile. You even remember putting your wrist in front of him, gleefully asking, "It's your name! Isn't it? "

You spent that entire day together (if that's what you call a child dragging another.)

But after that, he never talked to you again.

No matter how much you tried to get close to him, he would run away from you.

As you grew older, your attempts to pursue him stopped.

Later, your family ended up moving, and since it was so embarrassing being in the same place as Azul, you didn't warn him.

To be honest, you were expecting him to suddenly reappear in your life one day. To wake up in the middle of the night, woken up by a frantic knock on the door, and once you'd opened it, he would be standing there, breathless, asking for your forgiveness.

But as romantic as it sounds, it never happened... and your willing to forgive him got weaker.

Actually, at the beginning you were disheartened, but now? Now you are angry.

Does he know how many people wish they could find their soulmate that easily?! He has no idea how many people have expressed their desire to be with you! But you've been so patient, and understanding, and sweet, and—!

And did he not like you? Maybe you were too clingy. Or was it the way you look?

It hurt you deeply.

So imagine the tons of emotions that exploded within you when you recognize him in the land.

Thanks to the oh-so-kind principal Crowley of NRC, you were allowed to use the installations along with some classmates for a project.

Being a merperson, you soon got along with Octavinelle students. You were friendly chatting with some of them when they mention the name of their dorm leader.

Impossible! Two people can share a name, can't they?

Anyway, you are only going there some days a week after classes. You probably won't even ever see him. It doesn't bother you at all. I mean, you don't even want to talk to him and oh, you are already going to the Mostro Lounge.

You won't be able to sleep for the rest of your life if you don't confirm your suspicions.

Honestly, you would have never guessed he was Azul. Maybe it would have been better if you had never heard his name.

You stayed still in the lounge door. You were driven there by a childish impulse and you had no plan.

Well, better leave now or someone will notice you... Next thing you know, a mysterious guy is grabbing you by the arm and inviting you in.

You are sat in a table and given a menu, no matter how much you mutter it is a mistake.

So distracted in explaining to the server that you are not interested in any sort of gift card you don't realize when the dorm leader gets closer.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" he interferes, giving you a scheming smile. His smile wavers for a second after giving you a good look. "You are..."

The enormous ball of nervousness in your stomach suddenly became annoyance. That's it? "Anything I can help you with?" How about he helps to restore the loss of confidence he caused so many years ago, stupid, ignorant idio-!

"You are one of the students working on a special project, aren't you?"

Wait-

At first you stayed quiet, waiting for him to say something else. But his eyes didn't show any recognition.

To be fair, it's been a while, and maybe he was not the only one who changed since you two were kids.

You are brought back to yourself after Azul asks you if you are okay. There's no point in saying anything. You would make a fool of yourself. You say your thanks and leave.

Everything felt so contradictory. On one hand, you felt uncomfortable about meeting him again, but you also felt curious. You also were kind of mad, but mostly disappointed in him not recognizing you, although you concluded it was for the best.

You decide to bury the emotions, but apparently no one ever told you that you were not too good at it.

And come on, you are being too obvious! When someone mentions his name, you get exalted; and whenever you two cross paths, your eyes are glued to him.

Also, it's kind of weird how much you stutter whenever someone asks you to go to the Mostro Lounge.

Your classmates assume you have a crush on him... (And their first thought is "I never assumed [Name] liked that type of guy.")

And of course the rumour spreads. Funnily enough, all the responses are similar: Azul, the guy who tried to get away with forced labour a year ago? Him???

Azul is not interested in any sort of gossip unless it is about business. But that's not the case for Floyd and Jade.

They corner you one day and you are pretty sure they are going to extort you when an unexpected question leaves Floyd's mouth.

"Do you really like Azul? Do you have such poor taste?"

Of course not! Azul? You don't even know that guy! Pft, what are these two talking about?

That's all the verification they needed. And they are going to use that info.

It's not as if they are acting as matchmakers for their hopeless friend, it's more of... being bastards.

Your life at NRC converts into a nightmare. There is no place to hide from the twins, and every time they catch you, you have to endure the endless teasing.

Jade remarks are humiliating, but Floyd? That man is a menace.

Oh? What is it? You don't want to help to clean the lounge floor? Well, this is a matter he needs to report to Azul...

It's during one of those teasings that you end blurting out, "I don't even want him to be my soulmate!"

... Well, that's a serious issue.

You end up giving your tragic story to the brothers (you've practiced this monologue for years, you better take the opportunity!)

Since this soulmate's thing is a delicate issue, they both agree on stopping the teasing and not get involved.

Jade can keep a promise... Floyd tho...

He is suddenly so compassionate and empathetic about your situation. It doesn't matter if you are with someone else, he can arrive and just hug you, sharing his condolences while he talks about your soulmat-

You can tell him to forget about it all you want, but how can he?! What Azul did to you was foul! If he was in your place, he would have gone and kick him in the butt! Actually, he can do it, just say the word and he'll take care of the rest.

Every time you are with Floyd is like walking on the tightrope. Always losing breath in avoiding him from spilling too much.

And you did a great job of keeping him in check. The problem was that you couldn't be constantly vigilant.

You couldn't rest because you were terrified of what Floyd could do when you were not there.

One day, you are awaiting your classmates in the usual spot when you are taken aback by Azul.

He keeps making questions. Why is he wearing that pleased smile?! Wait a minute...

"Something really interesting happened with Floyd yesterday, you see..."

It can't be! He already knows!

Well, if he is here to complain, he's going to have to hear you first!

"Before you even say anything! I never lied to you. Actually, I believe I was very open about it! And anyway, you never asked so... You are the only one guilty here, Azul Ashengrotto!"

And then he has the audacity to ask "what do you mean"?!

"I'm talking about how you avoided me the entire elementary school after learning we were soulmates! Don't act all surprised now. Floyd told you, didn't he?!"

This is the confrontation you've been preparing for your whole life. You spent complete nights crying, trying to find the words that conceived your sorrow.

But at the end, you are at a loss for words, and the best way you find to express your emotions is physically... slapping that scoundrel in the face!

Azul falls to the ground, clearly surprised, and exclaims "Soulmates?!"

And then, just then, you realized maybe Floyd wasn't a snitch.

Minutes after, you two were sitting on the ground in unbearable silence. Azul with a hand on his cheek. A couple of people passed and gave both of you confused looks.

"I'm sorry, does is still hurt?" You asked, barely looking at him.

"... A little."

"I shouldn't have slapped you."

"No, it's fine. I deserved it."

"Azul, why did you do that?" now that the ambient is lighter, you finally speak.

"I owe you an apology. I shouldn't have behaved that way..." It's the only thing he says, but you just keep asking. "[Name], it's just that... I didn't feel worthy of it. Back then, I couldn't understand why someone would willingly get close to me. It scared me..."

You heard him talking about his lonely childhood.

"Well, that's terrible. I now look even worse..." you mutter.

"I understand. What happened back then must have left you really confused, and I won't reprimand anything."

You got your vengeance, but now you weren't so sure about what you wanted...

"Hey, Azul? I'll take you for a date as a way to say sorry... And maybe you could apologize by paying for the dinner during that date... if that's okay."

"I don't think that's how a date works." But a disheartened look it's all it takes for him to agree.

His name was more of a burden than a blessing, as far as you could remember.

When you were younger, you couldn't be happier. You would fantasize about child actor Vil Schoenheit and talk about him to everyone (even if they didn't want to listen).

It was Vil who helped you discover your own passion for acting. You kept following his steps: enrolled in acting class, learned to sing, even modeling.

But as you grew up, the childish excitement your peers would show upon hearing your soulmate was a celebrity changed to mockery.

People would accuse you of faking your soulmate's name for fame.

You could take the accusations because at the end of the day, you knew they weren't true.

The criticism, however, was harder to process. You soon became used to mean intended comments like "I expected Vil Schoenheit's soulmate to be more...", "such a shame for him, to have you as his soulmate," "aren't you scared about how will he react?"

That's how you learned to keep your mouth shut.

When you got older and started getting job opportunities, you decided that the best thing would be to keep your soulmate's name a secret, otherwise the media would accuse you of clinging to his popularity to succeed in your own career.

Every day, while getting ready in front of the mirror, you dedicated a fair amount of time to apply foundation on your wrist.

You are still rather unknown in the industry when your golden opportunity appears: a remarkable makeup brand wants you as a model.

The same makeup brand affiliated with the famous actor Vil Schoenheit, who is also taking part in this campaign.

It is your chance to finally meet him and tell him...! Tell him what? That his soulmate is a pathetic young celebrity? All these years, people kept saying you weren't enough for him, and at some point, you started believing it.

It's a one in a lifetime offer, and being an unimportant model, you can't allow yourself to turn down this job.

What are the odds of actually meeting the so busy man after all? Both of you are going to be really occupied either way...

But your ideal job gets soon shattered. You are perfectly replaceable, and everyone doesn't mind reminding you.

In the course of a photo shoot where a photographer was being particularly inconsiderate with you, a sudden voice came to defend you.

"You are not treating with a mannequin. If you were, we could find people far more experienced for it, don't you think so?"

The room gets quiet at the unexpected appearance of the blond. He insists to the photographer to apologize to you and stays a while until the session ends.

You can hear your heart beating so fast, and you try to sneakily leave. But the man finds you first.

"Don't let his discourage you, many people are going to be harsh with you in this industry, but you must remain focused." Useful tip, too bad you were too panicked to even hear it.

You just nod and say your thanks. The way your eyes won't meet his doesn't go unnoticed by him.

Just one encounter and you couldn't get rid of the thought of him. And Vil felt exactly the same way.

He actively seeks for you after that. Ends up asking for your schedule just to talk with you again. He gives you enough attention to realize your subtle tries to get away from him.

But he doesn't hesitate to use what he has in his hands to make you spend time with him. Constantly ends up arriving a little too early to his makeup and sits waiting for you to be done, for example.

Vil isn't one to seek after a random person because of infatuation. But he has heard about the peculiar feeling that is meeting your soulmate.

Everyone calls you by an artistic name, and he doesn't want to appear overbearing. If you haven't introduced yourself by your real name by now, you may have your reasons...

And if he was your soulmate, you would have already told him, wouldn't you?

One day after a long session, everyone is already leaving when he remembers he forgot something in one of the vanity mirrors. Without knowing you are there, he enters and surprises you applying makeup on your wrist.

Before you can see him, he leaves. But that minuscule event gave him enough reasons to search for your name.

Not long after that, one photographer calls you and is very insistent on meeting you. Apparently, some of your pictures got lost, and he needs to replace them immediately.

And those pictures are going to take place in his house? Because of the lack of time or something like that.

You can't even pinpoint his weird arguments because, after rushing you to arrive early, he ends the call.

The last thing you need is a crew member telling everyone how unavailable and irresponsible you are, so you end up going.

His house is surprisingly big... how much this guy gets paid?

When you are at the door, you notice how nervous he looks.

"Well, why did you call me?" you ask him.

"I asked him to." An icy voice responds, and Vil walks in.

You are so shocked looking at the actor that the photographer sneaks behind you and leaves.

Vil asks you to take a sit, you are a loss for words and just follow his instructions.

He allows the ambient to get less tense asking you if you want some tea (which you refuse) and starts talking about his day.

"I had a restless schedule today, balancing everything between school and the photoshoots... But you know, I had enough time to search for some papers I needed and I stumbled upon something interesting," his slim fingers take a paper that's resting on a table on his side and he gives it a profound look before standing in front of you, displaying your resume in front of your face.

"Now, do you see the name on the top? It's actually very familiar to me. Want to take any guesses why?"

His tone is rather calm, but you can see in his eyes that he is angry.

He goes back to his sit and crosses his arms, looking directly at you. He is waiting for an answer.

"Should I keep talking or you want to take your turn?"

He is on his right to be mad, but he could stop looking at you in that way! You feel paralyzed.

Vil finally just asks why, and this time his voice isn't collected. He sounds so tired.

"I didn't want to get in the way of your career," by the look he is giving you, you know he isn't buying that, "and I didn't want you to think I'm trying to take advantage of you. I was waiting to feel I was a worthy partner..."

A sigh leaves his lips and you are getting ready to be thrown out of his house.

"If you are my soulmate, let's set something clear. I value my fame a lot, but I won't let it interfere with my life... My job nor my fans, nor you, are one to decide for me."

But none of those words gave you the strength to look up at him.

After a while of talking about the series of events that led to that uncomfortable moment, Vil stands up and walks to you, extending his hand.

"This is no place to talk about us. Let's go, I'll take you to eat. We have to make up for lost time."

Throughout the lasting history of the Valley of Thorns, cases of the royal family disposing of their soulmates in order to marry wealthy people haven't been unheard of.

Of course, that happened maybe centuries ago, and those practices are no longer needed.

But the people never got rid of their old sayings: "soulmates are not for the rich".

During those dark days, citizens would escape from the valley, scared to be killed because of their supposed true love. It was a pretty accepted practice, encouraged even.

It didn't matter how hard the new generations tried to erase that evil reputation to find their soulmates once again. All of their attempts were deemed as a plot to get rid of unsuspecting victims.

The nobility had no choice but to stop looking for partners and just hope someday the one and only would appear on their own will.

Your family was horrified when you were born with the name Malleus Draconia written on your wrist.

They didn't wait for their poor baby to be chased down by the crown and immediately left their homeland.

You grew up following a strict rule: to never look at your soulmate name. When asked about it, you learned to answer that your mysterious partner was deceased before you even could walk. Losing a soulmate is considered the hardest grief, and every time people apologized and didn't touch the topic ever again.

As soon as you were born, your family covered the name with ink. A special recipe developed hundreds of years ago for people hiding their soulmates.

Although you had never seen the name, your family warned you several times about the terrible things that would happen if you tried to dig deeper.

It would be a lie to say you learned to live completely with it.

As the years passed, you had problems connecting with people. Of course, you had friends and your family, and you loved them deeply but...

Could you really love them if the only person you expected to receive love from didn't exist?

All your friendships and relationships were really vague because it felt too intrusive when they got close.

Having accepted that you would never meet your soulmate doesn't mean it doesn't hurt sometimes.

During a collective school event, you end up meeting Malleus. A huge event is going to take part in your school installations, and participant institutions were called to help with preparations.

It is not the magical scenario everyone narrates when meeting their soulmate, but undoubtedly both feel something. It's a sort of comforting feeling.

Upon meeting, you only reveal your first name, and there's no more questioning after that.

Malleus doesn't understand why he is so attached to you, but won't fight against it. If in the middle of the night the sudden urge to go look for you kicks in, you can bet he is leaving his bed to search for you.

Every time you are with him, it feels as being finally seen after so many years of people seeing you through an imaginary wall.

It doesn't take too long for Malleus to get suspicious. Your first name it's the same as his soulmate, he just needs a surname...

But when he tries to bring it up subtly, you let out to him that your soulmate is dead. You even show him your nameless wrist.

Of course, you also connect the dots, but after anxiety filled nights, you decide to ignore it.

Because you couldn't endure Malleus being the one person your family always kept you away from. If he is the person who destiny set for you, then everything you have been told these years had been fake? That would have meant than all those lonely years had been for nothing, that your family had hurt you.

That's impossible! Your family would never do that without reason, and Malleus would never harm you, so it can't be. You refuse to accept it.

Pretend as much as you wish, in the end you can't deny the growing distress it brings you. And if the incomprehensible forces of the universe already took all the effort into creating soulmates, they are pretty much determined to make it work.

After the shocking revelation of your apparent gone partner, the prince just knows something doesn't add up. He feels it; it has to be you.

And he is your soulmate, after all. Did you really believe you could hide things for him for too long?

"They told me he was dead," you tell him. After a week of no contact (a silly stunt to forget about him) you suddenly called Lilia, begging him to set a meeting with Malleus for you.

"I don't know his name. My parents forbid it. But I..." without noticing, you were already crying, "I think it's you."

The fae stays quiet. His only movement is to grab his sleeve to show you his wrist. And when you sob harder, he knows it's your name.

Malleus hugs you, patiently waiting for you to calm down.

But you just keep venting to him. Why would your family lie to you? After all these years... If you had known, you would have looked for him sooner.

"It's alright," he murmurs, patting your back, "you are already here, that's all that matters to me."

– from Anonymous

A/N:  Hi Anon! Sorry for taking so long! Thank you so much for liking my work and for sending in this request! Since this was submitted before I opened my headcanons request, I’ll assume you wanted a scenario! It reminded me of a particular Japanese middle school/high school tradition… I don’t want to spoil it, but I do hope you enjoy it!

“Hey, did you know?” 

You looked up from your meal to see a grinning Ace. 

“Well… you haven’t told me what this is about Ace.” you finally said in a dry tone. “So, no—I wouldn’t.” Beside you, Epel’s lips curled up in amusement. 

“Are you sassing me?” Ace squinted at you.

“Who could say.” you shrugged your shoulders. “Anyways, what is it?” Ace studied you for a couple more seconds before he too seemed to ‘shrug’ it off and continue.

“There’s actually a tradition in Twisted Wonderland during graduation season.” Ace’s smile turned wicked, as he raised his hand and tugged at a button on his shirt.

“Please don’t strip. Nobody needs to see that.” you said—Deuce promptly choked on his food and Grim snickered beside you. On his other side, Jack sighed as he patted the man on his back. 

“It’s not that!” Ace scowled. “Sweet Queen, if you keep going on like that, I swear—”

“Sorry, sorry.” you raised your hands—palms up. “So, what is it?” 

“This button.” he pointed at the second button from the top. “Well, for NRC, they go with the fifth button—but either way…” Sebek leaned forward in interest.

“Is this the button tradition?” his eyes sparkled, “you see, I was thinking of giving—” 

“It doesn’t work like that Sebek.” Ace said—at which the Diasomnia student immediately deflated in response. 

"People give this out at graduation.” Ace continued. “It’s like the last chance to confess–before you leave the school life behind.”  

‘Last chance huh…’ you thought, as you remembered Crowley’s words from the other day.

“In my generosity, I have found a way to bring you back home… but…” the Headmaster peered at you with glowing eyes. “Something tells me you don’t want that anymore.”

“And because I’m so generous… I will let you decide what you wish to do.” his eyes brightened behind his mask. “I hope to hear from you soon…”

"Why not the first button?” you couldn’t help but ask. Ace, who had just finished recounting how many buttons he had given out in his last graduation was startled by your question. 

“Err…” Ace scratched the back of his head. “I dunno?” 

“It’s the second button, because on the regular school uniform… it’s closest to the heart. Because graduations at NRC are in the summoning robes—that means the fifth button.” Jack finally spoke up, “what normally happens is… someone confesses, and the other party decides whether or not to give the button. When the other party gives their button—it means they return the love of the person who confessed.” Grim’s face twisted at that. 

“In conclusion… disgusting.” Epel shrugged his shoulders, before he shot Jack a look. “I’m surprised you, of all people know that.” Jack’s whole body twitched, and his tail bristled in response. 

“So. you were being a little shit.” Deuce told Ace.

“Yeah Ace, you’re an asshole.” Grim huffed.

“Not true, all of the people who wanted my heart, got it~” Deuce grimaced in disgust at his roommate’s response. On his other side, Sebek shifted upright.

“I don’t care what you all say, I’m giving—” 

“Sebek, no.” 

As your friends erupted into chaos your hands fell on top of your second button and you fiddled with it thoughtfully.

–

“Alright, what is up with you two?” Riddle turned around to glare fiercely at the squabbling Ace and Deuce. At his movement, the long cloak of the summoning robes shifted around his legs.

Oh to be a peasant living in a cottage hanging my cotton clothes when I hear my secret lover, Malleus Draconia, at the distance, so I immediately drop my cute woven laundry basket and run out of the house to jump into my partners arms and he spins me around, making my cottagecore dress fly in the air until we fall to the grass, laughing and hugging eachother unaware of the arranged marriage his evil family has accepted for him because they'll never accept our relationship....

[nana-dear]

Chapter four was genuinely so funny for me. Mostly because... do you realize Kalim is a just your high school dorm leader? That this guy doesn't have a proper amount of power in the school to affect any of you? And somehow EVERYONE went nuts and acted as if not complying with him would be some sort of treason. Dude, calm down, it's just a dORM.

And they would be like "but what if he orders the others to capture us :(" Ok... then don't do it???? Like, just don't follow his orders????????? There's AT LEAST ten more of you??????????????????????????????

deuce with a shy reader

synopsis — You are the sweet child in your house. A popular student in the school because of your perfect grades and kind nature, that one person who often receives praise and love confessions. But everyone gets worried when, after watching a rebellious guy get into a fight, you develop a big crush.

characters — Deuce Spade

It happened during your last year of middle school.

You were leaving late after getting occupied with council and club activities. On the way to your home, some older guys started picking on you.

Having never gotten into trouble, you were petrified, unable to run or make it stop.

That's what a miracle (as you like to call it) happened.

A boy you had never seen before appeared abruptly and didn't hesitate to start a fight. Yeah, he got badly beaten up, but he did not escape even when he's nose was bleeding.

The enigmatic blue-haired guy was triumphant, scaring those delinquents away with his feisty nature.

Deuce grabbed your backpack, which was laying in the ground after those troublemakers played with it, and returned it to you.

"Is this yours?" he asked, but you remained silent. Feeling awkward after your lack of response, he just set your belonging in your hand and left.

You had never seen someone punch a guy in the face... that was so awesome.

The following days you couldn't stop thinking about your heroic stranger, nor talking...

Your group of friends was scandalized.

They watched you dance around the classroom and giggle at yourself. You were down bad... and for some delinquent!

One of them yelled at you when she checked your notebooks and discovered the corners were full or hearts.

Every day they brought excuses for you to forget about him. Some of your friends even did a background check on him. He was in a neighbour school, and was known to be a problematic student.

But as they told you his terrible rumours, you grew more amazed. He was so cool!

Deuce soon noticed how a group of students from the near private school started following him, always hiding behind a wall or acting as if he hadn't just caught them spying.

He also noticed the way your friends grasped your arm. And how every time you both exchanged gazes, you would grab your face in embarrassment.

He is really weirded out by it.

Some of your friends are so worried that he is going to hurt you they even consider reaching out to your parents.

When you gained enough courage to get closer to him, you started bringing him presents.

You were so shy that sometimes it took you the whole day delivering your gifts. You stayed standing near him whenever he went, with frilly decorated boxes in your hands.

He, of course, watched you, but acted as if he didn't realize because you seemed too nervous and, to be true, he didn't want to get involved in whatever prank you were trying to pull on him...

After handing him the presents, you would wait until he said his thanks and immediately run away.

You screamed from joy every time. On the other part, he was left very confused.

Soon, your acquaintances lost interest in stopping you. Mostly because they realized you would never actually pursue a relationship.

Every day at school you would reunite them to tell them about how you both shared glances, or how you were able to wish him a good day, or how handsome he looked...

Yeah, they didn't consider that "progress."

That was the rest of your third year. Following him, giving little presents and celebrating every time you managed to speak in front of him.

Going to highschool meant both of you were now on different paths. And slowly your fascination disappeared.

Or so you thought.

On Christmas vacations, when he returned home for the festivities, you ended stumbling upon him.

Instead of the magical re-encounter you had imagined, it was rather awkward. You both said hi and just... stayed there.

"Well, I guess I should go now..." you didn't even get to finish when he suddenly asked you to accompany him for a coffee.

"Wait! Do you want to do something?!"

Adorable. You two just look to the side while fidgeting.

At least you were brave enough to ask for his number. Go for it, [Name]!

So things are slow, really slow. But that's better than nothing. And you couldn't be happier.

It's a first time for both, so you are learning a lot together. At first you had all these rules and expectations, but soon realized that there wasn't a perfect way to do things.

Like he often waits for the "perfect moment", and he is obsessed that those plans always fail. Cater told him to just go for it and that's how he managed to grab your hand one day.

He was holding his breath and shaking, but he did it.

And you tried to be more straight-forward as well. Like touching him on the shoulder or complimenting him.

It's honestly so cute.

The first times his friends look at you, they are too surprised to talk. But what they intended to say was, "How did Deuce got someone like them?!"

They truly support you tho.

Do you think there's an issue with humans dating magical creatures with long-life span? Is there a show like divorce court but it's something like: ?

Human: I discovered my vampire partner dated my great-great-grandmother, who looks identical to me.

Public: *boos*

We often talk about it like an angst trope but, is this illegal? Or just kinda unethical??? These are the real questions people, wake up.

[nana-dear]

Wait a minute. The ghosts in "Endless Halloween" event use what it seems to be white powdered wigs, and at least in our world, those were used to hide hair loss because of syphilis...

Then STDs are a thing in Twisted Wonderland?????

adoptive father trein reacting to your marriage

synopsis — Years have passed after you graduated NRC, and your partner and you believe it's time to go to the next step. The first thing is, of course, breaking the news to your dad!

characters — NRC students (except Ortho) & Mozus Trein

Malleus, Leona, Azul, Lilia

He stays quiet for a while, and you want to suppose he is just a lil surprised. And he was, indeed, surprised. Actually, he was so surprised that your fiance had to help him sit down. A glass of water later, he regains color and apologizes. He is happy, truthfully. But you and your soon-to-be husband can't help but notice the way his hands quiver while he congratulates you. You grab his hands in yours and assure him that everything is going to be alright, and your father finally smiles. Your happiness is the most important thing in the world... But sweetheart, can you help him walk to the bedroom? He needs to lie down for a second...

Ace, Kalim, Sebek, Epel, Idia, Jade

Gets a little worried. While you both are talking about the compromise, his face remains neutral. Looks at your fiance for a second and sighs, but ultimately smiles and shakes his hand. If your relationship has endured all those years, well, who is he to oppose? Through the months and with the wedding day getting closer, he also grows more excited. Although your partner is not ignorant of the occasional judgmental looks your father gives him.

Deuce, Vil, Silver, Trey, Cater, Riddle, Jack, Ruggie, Jamil, Rook

Felt it coming from the way you looked more vibrant during the last weeks and the way you and your boyfriend looked at each other. He is calm knowing that he is going to treat you right, and immediately asks him to take good care of you when you are done giving him the news. For the rest of the day, you notice your dad with a faint smile.
