Ace does card tricks for you when you’re down. Flipping cards from finger to finger, shuffling a deck as swiftly as he can, hoping that you don’t notice his fingers are trembling. You… look so sad. It’s messing with his focus, seriously. Look, he can’t exactly promise to get how ya feel, but looking at you like this… is making his own damn heart hurt, so cut it out already!

Pick a damn card, any card.

Don’t let him see it. Put it back into the deck, anywhere you wanna.

Alright, now he’s gonna shuffle it. Look closely… aw, how can you look when your eyes are all wet as hell? Man, just stop crying already. Here, he’ll wipe it for you, hold still.

Yeah, that’s it. Sob all over his hoodie, it’s fine. Come on, your nose is dripping, he’ll wipe it for ya… huh, it’s gross? These are your own tears, just suck it up and let him wipe it for ya. Either way, this hoodie’s going into the wash.

Like the material? It’s boyfriend material- ow, hey! Don’t hit him like that, it’s true!

Yeah, yeah, feeling kinda better now, huh? Taking out your rage on someone who’s trying to help you… you’re such a jerk.

You’re lucky you’re a cute jerk though.

Alright, watch closely. He’s going to shuffle the cards real nice and slow just for ya to watch. Like this… and like that… and now, is this your card?

It’s not the queen of hearts, is it?

Or the two of spades?

Perhaps it’s the three of clovers?

Maybe the four of diamonds?

Nah, who’s Ace kidding? He’s gonna reach just right behind your ear… oh, what’s this? A card, straight from your ear? Man, you should really clean there sometimes, crusty.

Hey, he’s just kidding! Chill out! Right, stop hitting him, and let him show ya the card he pulled out.

It’s going to blow your tears right out of your eyes, baby, because this man knows his magic. Drumroll, please! He’s going to flip the cards real nice and slow…. And ta-dah!

It’s the Ace of Hearts!

Y’know who else is the ace of hearts? That’s right, yours truly, the master of winning over hearts himself, Ace Trappola! He’s got babes hanging off his arms left and right-

Hey, why are ya laughing? It’s true!

Honestly, the disrespect… but hey, at least you’re laughing now. Ace likes that a lot better than your crying. So he’s going to push this card into your hand. Hold onto it.

Y’know why he could magic it right out beside you? B… because… man, this is such a stupid, cheesy line. Hey, can Ace take that back? He doesn’t wanna say that anymore-

Huh? He should just say whatever the heck he was gonna say? Man… you really like making him suffer, dontcha?

You’ll always find the Ace of Hearts around you.

Because Ace is always going to be right beside you. So don’t cry anymore, alright?

Yuu singing defying gravity from Wicked. Listening to it and thought Yuu.

I LOVE THE WICKED OST!

I didn't see the new one, but I'm gonna use the OG one~

Vil crossed his arms as he walked down the empty hallways. With VDC tribe picked, he was starting to wonder if this team would really be the one to take the gold. Upon Rook's request, he had chosen the Heartslabyul's spudlings, even if they were untrained and with hardly a note of coordination between them. Jamil and Kalim were perfect when it came to movement, but their singing needed work. That just left Epel, since he knew Rook and himself were fine on that front.

"I'm truly given such an underdog team, aren't I?" Vil sighed.

"Something has changed within me."

Vil paused as he heard a voice from a classroom behind him. He backed up and spotted the door that had been cracked opened. Pushing it open, Vil poked his head inside to see....Yuu? She held a broom in her hands as she sang in a small voice before it started to pick up in power and range.

"I'm through accepting limits, cause someone says they're so. Some things I cannot change, but til i try I can not know."

Vil could hear the imaginary band rise in power as she continued.

"I'd soon buy defying gravity!"

He watched as she acted out the scene, playing both parts flawlessly. She hit the notes as correctly as she could, but Vil could hear the strain in her voice.

"So if you care to find me, look towards the western skies!" Yuu smiled. "As someone told me lately, 'Everyone deserves a change to fly!'" She spun around using the broom. "And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free! To those who'd ground me, take a message back from me!" Her voice raised in pitch. "Tell them how I am defying gravity! I'm flying high, defying gravity! And soon I'll match them in renown!" Yuu took a deep breath. "And nobody in all of Oz, no wizard that there is or was, is every gonna bring...."

'C'mon, Potato, hit the note.'

"Me down!"

Vil found himself stepped further into the room.

"Bring me down!"

He may not know what the full context of the song was, but Vil could guess from how powerful she was singing it.

'Once more, Yuu.'

"Aaaaahhhoooahhh!"

Yuu ended the song with a deep breath and a cough. She shook her head and twirled the boom around.

"Try not to ruin your voice, Homura." She chastised herself.

Vil started clapping, causing her to jump and star at him with wide eyes.

"Schoenheit!? When did!?" She looked around wildly. "Y-You didn't hear any of that, did you?"

"Not all of it, but enough to cement my decision."

"Huh?"

"You're joining the VDC, Potato."

"Huh!?"

HAPPY HALLOWEEN here's some seasonal guys! 🎃

[savanaclaw1996]

[savanaclaw1996]

Filled with Static...

Summary: Yuu was already fed up before coming to Playful Land and now that it's over... She has some very choice words for she has reached her boiling point...

Sorry in advance~

Yuu watches with hollow eyes as Fellow and Gidel depart without having to face the consequences of their actions. Everyone jokes around her about what they just went through, but static is rapidly and quickly filling Yuu's ears. She moves away from the group and makes her way down a street, unaware of the sound of footsteps behind her. A hand lands on her shoulder and she's quick to slap it off.

"Ow, rude much?"

Yuu turns to see Ace with his arms crossed. "What?"

"Just wanted to know why you took off like that."

"Why do you care?"

"Wow, jeez." Ace scoffed. "I knew you were snippy from the start, but I thought that would've cleared up. What's the big deal?"

"What's the big deal? What's the big deal!?" Her voice echoes throughout the small area of the docks. "Ace, are you fucking blind as well as a total fucking moron!?" She jabs her hand to where Playful Land used to be. "We almost got turned into puppets and sold off because of you guys!"

"Hey, we got out in the end!"

"No, we didn't. If Fellow hadn't gotten that phone call, we'd be goners." The others have stopped a few feet away, but Yuu ignores them. "And you're cracking jokes about it."

"Well, destroying the park was-"

"I mean about the whole thing, you brainless baboon." She snarls. "From the start, you ignored all the fucking warning signs that said you should stay far away from this man. Did Azul tricking you not ring any bells in that empty head of you?" She tapped her finger against Ace's forehead. "And even when you were told that the warning signs were blaring red, you still ignored them."

"Hold on." Ace growled. "Why am I getting signaled out?"

"Oh it's not just you, Ace." She points behind him. "It goes double for those cacophony of idiots."

"Wow, rude, Yuu-chan..." Cater mutters.

"I get that you guys are like this. It's all fun and games to the ones who can use magic." She shakes her hand in a mocking way. "But this is just another scar on my body that I do not need." She pulls up her sleeves to show the overblot scars...as well as a new wooden looking scar on her wrist. "You guys think this is a joke, when it's not. You're risking my life with your guys shit."

"You came with us!" Ace argues.

"Cause I had to make sure my useless excuse for a fucking cat didn't keel over and die!" Yuu shouts and begins shoving Ace. "You. Treat. Me. Like. I'm. Expendable." She pushes him back. "I'm a living being too, jack ass, what I have done to warrant being treated lower than dirt? Every time this happens, and I almost lose my life in the process... how many more times is this going to be an almost before it actually happens?"

The red head narrows his eyes and snorts. "If you hate it here so much, why don't you just go back home?"

"Ace..." Lilia tries to say but is cut off by Yuu socking Ace in the face and sending him to the ground.

"NEWS FLASH, ASSHOLE!" The look in Yuu's eyes are murderous. "I'VE BEEN TRYING TOO! YOU GUYS CAN JUST CALL UP YOUR FAMILY OR SEND THEM A QUICK TEXT TO CHECK UP ON THEIR WELL BEING! YOU'RE A PORTAL AWAY FROM HOME! I HAVE NOTHING, I GOT NOTHING, I HAVE NO FAMILY HERE AND I AM REMINDED OF IT EVERY DAY BY YOU GUYS AND BY CROWLEY!" Tears well up in her eyes. "I've had it here. I'm gone. I'm leaving NRC, I'm getting far away from you guys." She turns to leave and rubs her eyes. "Enjoy the rest of your fucking lives."

"Yuu-chan!"

"Shrimpy!"

"Herbivore, come back!"

"Potato!"

"Henchhuman!" Grim tries to follow after her only to lower his ears and back up as she shoots the darkest glare she can muster at him. "I'm....I'm..."

Yuu disappears into the morning crowd that had gathered to learn what the commotion was about. She did not return to NRC that day...rather Crewel had found her, curled up outside his temporary house.

"Oh, Pup...." He pulls his coat off, wraps it around the crying young lady, and helps her inside.

Can I request number 6 with Azul ashengrotto? :3

Hi!!! I meant to post this earlier but my summer class started and I've been busy 😭. Fun fact: past fics with "I Won't Say I'm in Love" had people telling the TWST boy or Yuu that they are in love. Who did I use for Azul? It would have been the Tweels but it is actually Azul himself! 😂 I hope that you enjoy, anon!

Notes: Yuu is bold, mentions events in Book 3, 4, and 6, and Azul having an internal crisis

Word Count: 1011

Warnings: possible ooc characters (I feel like Azul is) and not beta read.

Azul did not like the Ramshackle Prefect. Not in a romantic sense. Why would he? It's not like she stayed in his head rent-free for the past few days. No, he was thinking about how to get her to work for him for free.  

He was not jealous that, according to ADeuce, the Prefect was spending time with Prince Rielle from RSA. How did they meet? Azul will never know, but one thing has been bothering him. SHE decided to have their date in town rather than in his perfectly established restaurant that was only a short walk away!

Azul set his pen down after signing the last contract of the day and stared at the ceiling. He recalled the first time he saw the Prefect during the entrance ceremony and how her cat monster set the room on fire. He did not care much about her then since his focus was on this year's profits. 

His indifference changed when he wanted her dorm as a branch of his restaurant. Did he leave her homeless? Yes, but within good reason. He no longer wanted that embarrassing photo of himself hanging around the Atlantica Memorial Museum. How did she get so popular to get close to Leona, of all people? If only she and her band of Savanaclaw members did not get in his way. Azul's hand clenched into a fist at the thought of the pesky lion disintegrating his hard work. This was the only time he truly disliked the Prefect.

Of course, that backfired back on her when she got trapped in Scarabia by Jamil. Azul could not hide his smug look when she pleaded with him for help. He, being benevolent, acted like her knight in shining armor to save her (read: it was Jade and Floyd that did all the work) as the damsel in distress. 

Azul hummed in thought when he realized something. The Prefect was less of a damsel and more like a knight after she broke into the Isle of Woe to save him and the rest of the overblot guys. 

It was only after the whole fiasco that Azul slightly liked the Prefect.

Did he get any romantic feelings during the process? No, he did not.

Why should he, anyway?

She was nothing more than a magicless human. A reckless one, in fact. 

If anything, she should be the one to develop feelings for him. 

Azul knew multiple ways to charm the girl. He would start by treating her to deals in Mostro Lounge. Then, he would do different favors for her, like give her a study guide or serenade her with his lovely voice. Finally, he would be the one to save her from different incidents (orchestrated by the Leech twins); she would fall in his arms and for his charms. 

She would fall for him so much that she would be at his door on her knees, begging to be his girlfriend. And Azul, being oh so benevolent, will agree.

Azul smirked. There was no way she could not resist him. 

"You're amazing as it is, even without stealing anyone else's powers," Yuu's voice called out in Azul's mind. 

Ba dump

"What the?" Azul clenched his chest. He could feel his heartbeat increase under his fingers. Why were the Prefect's words coming back to him?

"Your incredible diligence is so rare, it left the headmage at a loss," her voice continued to sing to him.

Ba dump

It has been months since their interaction at the museum, where Yuu had uttered those words to him, leaving him at a loss. Azul was touched by them, but he had put it back in his mind after the trip. Now they suddenly emerge and haunt him while he thinks about the Prefect.

Wait.

The Prefect. 

Azul suddenly sat up and ran his hands through his wavy hair. Why did he care about the Prefect being on a date? Why was he setting up a scheme to have her begging to be with him? Why are her words echoing in his mind like a mermaid's song?

Azul's eyes widen in realization. A long time ago, when he was still a crybaby octopus, his mom told him a story about how a mermaid princess sang to a prince after she saved him. The princess had to leave before the prince gained consciousness, and he made it his mission to find her. The princess's voice was so beautiful that the prince would play his flute at night using the same tune in hopes of finding her because he loved her. 

He was like the prince in the story. 

He loved Yuu. 

Azul took deep breaths to calm his wild heartbeat and wiped his sweaty palm on a handkerchief. He might have realized it now, but he won't say it out loud. No, he would continue his plan once Yuu returned from her date. The male leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh. He had to remain with his suave nature around her. 

The room was quiet as Azul was deep in his thoughts.

CRASH

Azul immediately stood up, "What the?" his eyes landed on the door wide open. Yuu stood in the doorway with the Leech twins smirking evilly from behind. Only a few seconds passed, and Yuu was now standing before Azul. She grabbed his hand and proceeded to drag him out of his office-

Wait a minute.

"What are you doing?" Azul sputtered out, his face now red.

"We are going on a date! You and me."

"But I thought you were supposed to be with Rielle?"

Yuu shook her head, "He was just showing me around, and we're only friends. Besides, I'm only interested in octopi anyway."

Azul's mouth opened in shock, "How did you? When did you?"

"The twins told me. Now hurry up before the shops in town close!" She dragged the poor housewarden through the doors and out of Mostro Lounge. 

Meanwhile, the Leech twins could not hide their laughter. 

"Have fun, you two."

"Don't hurt Shrimpy now!"

Thanks to JPN Book 7 events, I've been craving some Leona fluffy content, so that's what I'm gonna write about underneath the cut.

First off, I wanna say that recent JPN Book 7 events have really got me thinking about Yuu's relationship with Leona since I feel like I now have a better understanding of Leona's character.

From the start, I've always considered their relationship to be a close one since the Savanaclaw boys are some of the guys whom my Yuu is closest to, so overall, my thoughts and portrayal of this relationship hasn't changed too much.

However, now, after learning more about Leona and considering how I've always written his dynamic with my Yuu, I feel like those two have the potential to be best friends.

Obviously, ADeuce are Yuu's BFFs, but I could see Leona coming to eventually see Yuu as his best friend, although he'd obviously never say as much out loud lol

In regards to how Yuu views Leona, she's the type who's reluctant to put a label on relationships until she's 100% sure the other person would be fine with that label, especially when it comes to her upperclassmen since she's not as informal with them as she is with her sons.

However, Yuu loves Leona a lot and cares about him a great deal. He's a very important friend to her, so she would have no issue with using the best friend label with him, especially down the line after knowing him for a while.

Unlike Yuu's relationship with ADeuce, Yuu's friendship with Leona is like a slowburn as far as them becoming close enough to be considered best friends is concerned since it takes time to win Leona's trust to that degree.

The first step toward that direction is Yuu giving her first smile to Leona after his overblot since Leona knew she had been trying to learn how to willingly smile for ADeuce, so he knew what a big deal it was for her to give that first smile to him.

Plus, Leona isn't used to being people's first choice, so that in itself really had a huge impact on him.

Not to mention the fact that Yuu overexerted herself to the point of collapse and having a seizure in order to save him by overusing her Quirk during his OB battle, which are obviously not the kind of actions people would normally take on Leona's behalf.

From there, things progressed with this relationship due to all of Yuu's efforts since that's really the only way to make progress with Leona due to how he is lol

And this is where the fluff comes in.

Following the events of Book 2, Yuu steadily becomes closer to Leona because she takes every opportunity she gets to spend time with him, whether it's via playing chess together, having him help her with her studies after wearing him down enough to get him to agree, or simply taking naps together.

After seeing Leona's memories of his past via her dreams, Yuu quickly catches onto the fact that, despite how he acts, he doesn't truly want to always be alone. He just pushes people away cause that's how he protects himself from potentially getting rejected/hurt by others like what he was used to happening during his childhood.

While she obviously makes sure to respect his privacy and let him have alone time when he needs it, Yuu always tries to spend time with Leona regardless of whatever half-hearted complaints he throws her way, knowing that if he really wanted her to leave him alone he would plainly tell her, which he never does.

Most of Yuu's hangout time with Leona consists of them playing chess, but Leona will play other games with Yuu just as long as they're able to hold his interest/attention.

Yuu often likes to find puzzles and anything else she thinks would be a good challenge for Leona's big brain.

She has even managed to get Leona to play video games with her, although he'll only play handheld games since those are more convenient to him and he likes how he can play them while reclining.

Thankfully, Yuu gets a handheld video game console from the Shroud brothers who had wanted her to have one so she could play all of their video game recommendations. She accepted it cause Idia had stopped using it after he bought a new one that had a special limited edition cover/case lol

I think Leona would enjoy video games with tactical strategies that really make him think like Fire Emblem, and it would also help if Yuu brings up how skilled Idia is and how Idia doesn't think anyone at NRC could ever do as well as him at whatever game she suggests they play since obviously Leona would love nothing more than to prove Idia wrong haha

I just have this adorable mental image of Yuu sitting in Leona's lap watching him playing a video game, enjoying the moments when Leona's eyes have that satisfied gleam that indicate he's actually genuinely enjoying himself as well as the feeling of his warm embrace and his chin comfortably propped against her shoulder 🥺💕

PDA is a big part of this relationship, although that can be said about all Yuu's relationships with the SC boys since it's my HC that PDA is just normal for Beastmen.

As the relationship progresses, the PDA becomes more prevalent since, once Yuu is convinced that Leona really doesn't mind it, she'll take every opportunity she gets to dole out physical affection cause that's just how she is lol

Leona will never admit it, but he really likes the fact that Yuu never shies away from him. Her hands never hesitate to touch him - never show any fear despite what he's capable of doing with his UM.

She never treats him like he's unworthy of love/happiness, like what all of his negative thoughts/self-doubts always tell him.

Early on, Yuu realized that, while Leona is incredibly skilled/talented at many things, he's not good at being happy thanks to everything he's been through over the years. This man is his own worst enemy.

That's why Yuu makes it her personal mission to show Leona that he is worthy of love and happiness, no matter what all those cruel voices inside and outside of his head tell him.

Yuu knows she can't fix all of Leona's problems, despite how much she wants to, but she can at least make it clear that she loves him - that he's important to HER, which is why she will never abandon him, no matter what.

And thankfully, Yuu's feelings do eventually get through to Leona. It takes a while, of course, but slowly but surely, Leona comes to trust Yuu and believe that she genuinely loves him for who he is.

The events of my Fairy Gala fic were essentially the turning point in that regard. That's when Yuu's feelings finally break through the thick wall Leona had put around his heart to protect himself.

It's when Leona finally begins to see that maybe he really isn't alone, after all.

After that event, things don't outwardly change with this relationship cause this is Leona we're talking about, but Yuu can tell that a change has occurred inside of Leona since he no longer looks as if he has completely given up and lost hope.

Only those really close to Leona would actually notice this change since Leona continues to act as he usually does and maintains his usual smug/cool exterior.

Another thing that changes about Leona is he's noticeably softer around Yuu when the two are alone together. While he acts like he normally does, his touch is more gentle, and his gaze is softer/fonder when he thinks she's not looking.

Leona also becomes even less resistant to Yuu's efforts to spend time together to the point he'll often just not even bother to complain cause he knows he's not fooling anyone lol

Naturally, Yuu takes full advantage of this cause she loves spending time with Leona, and it makes her really happy that he has come to trust and accept her like this.

I could see Leona also making an effort to try to spoil Yuu since I think he's the type who'd make full use of his huge wallet for the people he cares about once he really gets attached.

Of course, Leona would have to be subtle about it since Yuu doesn't like people spending a lot of money on her and gets overwhelmed by pricey gifts, etc. due to her upbringing.

For example, he'll buy something, claiming it was something he thought he wanted but he changed his mind and decided to pass it along to her instead so it won't clutter up his room.

Or he buys a snack he knows she'd like and shares it with her since he doesn't feel like eating all of whatever he bought.

Leona is always really smooth when it comes to spoiling Yuu, so he's always able to get away with it. Out of all her friends, he's the best at subtly spoiling Yuu who never questions his actions when it comes to this since he's always so convincing and never acts suspiciously.

I just really love the idea of Yuu becoming that friend Leona desperately needs whom he knows he can completely trust to always stay by his side and have his back.

As long as Leona has people like that in his corner, I think he can do whatever he sets his mind to cause their voices can help him block out all of the negative voices that have been causing him to spiral all this time.

That's why I think being with Leona after graduation is the best place to be for Yuu since she'll be able to do a lot of good at his side, and she'll always be happy working for someone who cares about her as much as Leona does.

As time passes, this friendship will only get better and better 💕
