"Why, Miss Petra!"

*The gambler gives his coworker a practiced smile.*

"I heard they had hired somebody new in the Technology Department, but the Penacony missions have had me so busy I barely had the time to see for myself!"

*He extends a gloved hand towards the girl for a shake.* "I'm Director Aventurine. It's a pleasure to meet you, friend~"

"Others have said so much about you and your... expertise."

~ @a-gilded-imprisonment

O-oh! Mr. Aventurine!?

*a shocked and slightly confused look is on her face as she nervously shakes the hand, you can feel hers trembling a little*

Its an honour to meet you! Ah, this is very unexpected.. Is there anything i can do for you?

*she gives an awkward but genuine smile, shes clearly intrigued by the fact people have been talking about her*

Hey. I just spent two hours reading your Leon fic and i’ve never read a better one for him. I’ve been looking on ao3 for days and thought i’d try my luck on tumblr because i’ve been so obsessed with him, and your fic was just beautiful. Hope this is not too much, but like, your characterization of him is so spot on and perfect — I’ve encountered too many fics where he is nothing like I imagine him to be. Yours isn’t one of those. Also your writing is just beautiful and gentle, and the angst is done in a way where it doesn’t seem like you tried too hard, like it just came to you naturally. You’re not telling the reader what to feel, you’re just writing it as it is. And i’m an emotional reader (lmao) so I actually cried once during it, for like a second or two. Not that deep. It’s just really late and I’m happy to have found this, and I really hope you write more because I’m eager to read more of your writing. Whether it’s Leon or someone else, couldn’t care less — just love your writing.

Also, I’m wondering what other “fandoms” you’re in? Maybe this is obnoxious, but I don’t usually read x reader fics, or anything that’s heterosexual for that matter because I happen to a full on lesbian (Leon just really does it for me, probably because he’s not real), but I love writing AND reading gay shit, and after reading your fic I’d kind of love to talk to you. No pressure though, I won’t scream and throw up if you say no to that. I’m just happy I’ve discovered your writing and I’d be happy still to continue “reading from afar”.

Hah. Okay, bye.

waking up to this ask got me like

thank you for taking two hours of your day to read it and i’m beyond grateful that you took the time to send me your thoughts <3

ao3 is an archive and it doesn’t have an algorithm. it can be hard to find fics, authors have to be extra meticulous when tagging their works so i get you. it can be hard to find a story to your liking!

“hope this is not too much” it would never be! i love love love when readers express their thoughts, no matter how “late” they think they are. comments are always appreciated and loved, you are never late to read a work or drop a comment.

okay so umm how do i break this. thank you so much for all of the compliments, i will cherish them. however, i’m going to post the last installment to the series this friday (i think) and it’ll probably be so ooc you’ll want to take back the compliments on leon’s characterization 😭

this meme sums up his actions basically lol.

“angst is done in a way where it doesn’t seem like you tried too hard, like it just came to you naturally.” the feeling, yes (stressed and depressed baby!), the writing, no. huh writing is hard, who would’ve thought. /sarcasm

no but like i had an insane amount of tabs open to help me write. they all consisted of various translators and “whats another word for xyz” searches because i wanted to be sure i used the words correctly.

yup, i don’t like telling the reader what to feel. i like showing how the characters feel so your thoughts about characterization made me so happy.

i’m so sorry i don’t write consistently, i wish i had that dedication. i usually go with sudden sparks of hyperfixation, so i can’t promise you consistent writing. on that note, i don’t think i deserve all this praise

my interests are pinned on my masterlist! (sh2 isn’t listed despite the fic because i wasn’t familiar with it until the recent remake. i just saw a pathetic blonde man and had a neuron activation: must write a character study).

feel free to talk to me about anything, my dms are open. though i’m very busy for a week or two, i’ll try to reply when i see your messages.

[ OOC/Mod: 40 followers?! what the fuck gang. i didn't know y'all liked me and my silliness this much 😭 also to the five askes in my inbox, so sorry for the late replies. i'm real fuckin' busy this month. please follow/check @ds-main-sideblog for status updates, as i'll probably be real slow with replies and activity on my accounts. i've even been considering taking a break for a few months, as i'll be fairly occupied until school ends where i live. ilya‼️‼️❤️❤️❤️❤️]

Your Rules Are For Me to Break [Riddle Rosehearts x Ruggie Bucchi]

I have always loved this rare-pair but I just couldn’t find much fanfiction of them. So I thought, since I write my own stories, I might as well make my own and share it with others. Enjoy

(Riddle might be a bit ooc so I’m very sorry if he is 😭)

Part 1

Today, there was a small party planned by the Ramshackle prefect, Yuu. All their close friends were invited, including Malleus. Riddle was invited as well, but to him, it felt improper to not bring anything for the host.

“Don’t worry, Riddle. I prepared a bunch of desserts for them so you don’t have to worry” Trey assured the red head. “I see. Thank you, Trey. I’m guessing Ace, Deuce, and Cater are there already.” Riddle asked. “Yeah they are. They went ahead to help Yuu set the place up.”

Riddle and Trey then set off to Ramshackle dorm with the desserts. As they arrived, they saw a lot of people already. “I certainly hope were not late?” Riddle asked as Yuu replied “Welcome you two! And no, of course not. We’re just putting all the food brought to the table over there.”

“I see. I suppose I should put all these over there as well?” Trey asked whilst Yuu nodded. Soon enough, everyone arrived and the party has begun.

Riddle did not participate much with the festivities and simply chatted with others. Trey said that he would grab some fruit punch but Riddle decided to do it instead. As he was grabbing a cup, he saw a certain hyena grabbing a lot of food and putting them in different containers.

Normally, he would try to ignore other people’s business. But, this situation just seemed shameless. “Ruggie Bucchi, is it?” he asked.

“Hm?- Oh it’s you, Riddle. Whaddya need?” Ruggie said in quite the cheeky voice he usually has. “What do you think you’re doing just casually grabbing so much food? Do you have no shame?” Riddle rudely stated, but Ruggie was unfazed.

“Yeah, I know. I don’t care though.” The hyena said. “Hah?! Do you not know how disrespectful this is?” Riddle said.

“I said I know, I’ll do what it takes to survive.” The hyena explained and continued packing more food. Riddle was taken aback by his response. “What in the seven do you mea-” He then got cut off by Ruggie who ran from his view. This annoyed Riddle, but also piqued his interest. He didn’t know much of him, which left the red-headed Housewarden curious.

He sighed and continued grabbing the drinks for him and Trey. Yuu then approached Riddle. “Hey, Riddle! Enjoying the party?” They asked and Riddle just nodded and replied with “The experience is fine, I suppose”

Yuu then grabbed a slice of tart and started eating. “Hey, Yuu. Can I ask you something?” Riddle asked. “Sure. What is it?”

“I’m sure you know Ruggie. Considering you invited him. I also hope you’re aware he took large amounts of food earlier. So I wanted to ask, why? Why does he need to take so much food and yet is not feeling shameless at all? He said he would do anything to survive. What does he mean by that?” Riddle asked.

“Ah, well- From what I heard, he was born and raised in the slums. He only lived with his grandma and would also feed the other neighborly kids there too. He apparently used to steal food as a child. I don’t mind really. There’s a lot of food to go around anyways.” They explained.

‘That’s... nice of him to share with the kids...’ He thought to himself. ‘Still, that doesn’t mean he should be a shameless fool, let alone steal!’

“Where are his parents?” Riddle then asked. “I don’t know either. I haven’t asked that yet.” Yuu explained as Riddle just sighed and thanked them for answering. He went straight back to Trey who wondered what exactly took him so long just to grab two drinks? “Sorry, did I took awhile?” 

“Yeah, what happened there?” The green haired asked. Riddle just plainly replied saying ‘nothing’ and went quiet after that.

After the party, Riddle quickly went back to the dorm to make sure the Heartslabyul students were not breaking any rules. Or at least, that’s what he thought he was going to do. He ended up lying on his bed with his arm over his forehead, staring at his ceiling.

His mind then started wandering back to Ruggie. He definitely felt pitiful for the hyena, of course it still doesn’t make his actions okay and valid to do.

At some point, Riddle would space out. Especially when he sees Ruggie. This made Trey and Cater concerned, while Ace and Deuce were confused but happy that he’s barely been paying attention to the broken rules. Cater then decided to finally confront their Housewarden about it.

“Hey Riddle, how long do you plan letting your food get cold and just staring at that dude over there trying to make a bargain?” The question basically snapped Riddle back to reality. “Eh?- What? What do you mean? I wasn’t staring at him.” Denied by Riddle.

“Sorry to say, but you were definitely staring. Actually, we’ve been wanting to ask you about your odd behavior but we never got the chance to. Until now that is.” Trey said which left Riddle in a confused state. Has he really been gazing at Ruggie?

“Honestly, I wish I knew why as well.” He said which left the other two still confused but can’t do anything due to the fact that even Riddle himself does not know. “Hm... Hehe~ I sure hope it’s not what I’m thinking, is it?” Cater grinned.

“Hm? What is it? It better not be anything sickening.” Riddle said while rolling his eyes and taking a bite out of his food. “Do you, I don’t know, maybe like him?~” Cater then sneered and Riddle nearly choked from his food. “HAH?!— GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!-” Riddle was basically red at this point. Not red like fuming angry, but more like red from embarrassment. Luckily, Trey was able to calm him down before they might make a mess in the cafeteria.

After all Riddle’s classes, he saw again the boy he has been gazing at for awhile. He shook his head and went back to Heartslabyul dorm. In his room, he put his back against the door and had a very uneasy feeling.

Riddle wasn’t the type of person to be curious of one’s family affair, so what was this feeling of sudden interest with Ruggie and him out of all people. They are both opposites of each other so usually he would dislike people that way.

Ruggie was the type to break any rules as long as it benefits him, while Riddle was all about following the rules. Riddle was getting sick of this eagerness so he decided to try and approach him the next day. Turns out, he can’t bring himself to talk to him at the moment.

‘Damn... Why am I having such a hard time trying to go up to him?’ He thought. He mentally facepalmed himself and tried moving from his spot, but he stayed in his place and stood behind the corner walls, watching the hyena speaking to a lion.

He went back to the dorm, utterly disappointed for not being able to even ask. “You okay, Riddle? You seem down.” Trey then appeared and asked Riddle.

Riddle then sighed and decided to explain why he has been watching Ruggie. All he said was he wanted to know what happened to his parents. “I tried approaching him earlier, but I couldn’t take a single step closer at all when I saw him.” Riddle said while Trey started thinking.

“Don’t we have an unbirthday tea party coming up? Just coming up to him and asking about his family seems... a bit awkward and impolite. It’s no wonder you can’t go to him. Why don’t you try invite him?” He suggested which made Riddle’s eyes light up. “Great idea. Thanks, Trey.”

“No problem. And I’m very sure it would be easier to talk to him now.” Trey said while Riddle nodded and gave a small smile.

Riddle was oddly excited. He made sure to help with the preparations such as painting the roses, making the desserts, and more. He wanted it to be perfect.

Cater got suspicious. Even the idiotic duo were surprised at his actions. Cater decided to ask Trey about it. “Pssst—! Trey! Why is our adorable Housewarden helping? It seems weird-”

“I think it’s because he’s gonna invite Ruggie Bucchi.” Said by Trey which made Cater smiled mischievously like the Grinch. “Hehee~ I see. Good for him then!” Cater chuckled.

Later on, Riddle went out to go hand out the invitation. And to make it not as suspicious, he went out of his way to invite a few other people from Savanaclaw and other dorms.

He nervously went up to Ruggie and was slightly shaking. “H-hey... Ruggie?” Riddle surprised himself, he stuttered? Very unlikely of him. “Oh it’s you Rosehearts. What is it?” Ruggie asked sheepishly.

“I’m sorry for what I said back at Ramshackle...” Riddle said as Ruggie just shrugged his shoulders. “Eh, It’s fine. I’m used to it.”

‘Used to it? Does he mean he’s used to being criticized?’ Riddle thought. “Anyways. Is that all you have to say?”

“Oh right.. Uhm- I just wanted to tell you that you are invited to the unbirthday party tomorrow at the Heartslabyul dorm..” Riddle said while fidgeting with his fingers behind his back. “Oh? Really? Thanks. I’ll be there for sure—” 

“In one condition. Please don’t bring any containers, plastic bags, etc. for you to be able eat and bring home. There’s going to be a lot of people there so I don’t want to be running out food.” Riddle said while Ruggie basically pouted. “Awh.. Fine- I won’t bring anything.” Ruggie said  while Riddle raised his eyebrows in suspicion. “I won’t, I won’t! Promise!-” Ruggie said while Riddle showed a small smile.

“Good. The party will start at 9 A.M. sharp. I’ll see you tomorrow.” The red head said. “Okayyy. Thanks for the invi— oi wait—” The hyena then got cut off by Riddle sprinting away with a blushing face. His heart was beating like crazy, he had fluttering inside his stomach as if there were butterflies. ‘I did it!’ He thought.

Riddle was hugging his pillow tightly and was practically screaming into it that night. He barely slept a wink from his excitement.

The next day flew by quickly and guests came flooding in around 8:30 A.M.

Riddle was waiting by the entrance of the dorm and was welcoming the people who were entering. By the time it was almost 9, Ruggie still hasn’t showed up and Riddle was forced to go to the tea garden already and was not able to wait for the hyena.

A few minutes later, Ruggie arrived. To be exact, he was 15 minutes late. As Riddle saw him enter the garden, his heart started beating rapidly again. Trey noticed this and decided to push Riddle lightly. “Well, what are you waiting for? Go talk to him.” Riddle then nodded nervously.

“Huh, you made it. And you didn’t actually bring food containers.” Riddle crossed his arms and chuckled. “Yeah well, I don’t wanna get kicked out of the party.” Ruggie laughed. Riddle tried to start a small conversation before getting straight to the point.

-------------

“—Then Rook came out of nowhere when I was picking dandelions! He scared me to death honestly. He was wondering why I was picking them, then I explained that I would eat them!” Said by Ruggie.

Riddle took a moment to process that. “You... eat dandelions?” Riddle was holding back a laugh because it sounded absolutely ridiculous. “Yep! As long as you cook it right, anything is edible! Shishishi” Ruggie said with his iconic laugh.

“Why are you so fond of food and money anyways?” Riddle asked and thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to ask him. “Hm, well I grew up in the slums so I growing up, me and my grandma would barely have money and food. We had to live off of the things we find on the street! So I guess, I still have that habit.” Ruggie explained while putting his arms behind his head.

“You live with your grandma..?” the red head asked the hyena and he simply nodded in response. “What happened to your parents...?” Riddle was finally able to ask the lingering question. Ruggie’s expression then became soft and yet slightly upset. “My mom passed away when I was born. Then my father went out to make money but he never actually came back..” Riddle frowned at his response. His heart ached and truly felt bad.

‘What kind of father would try to escape their responsibility of taking care of their own child...’ Riddle thought. Ruggie then looked at Riddle who had a pitiful look. “Oh, don’t look at me like that. I’m sure my mom is in a better place. Wherever my dad may be, I just hope he got what he want.”

“You’re not mad at him?” the Housewarden asked. “Nope. I’ve endured a lot of hard things in my life so something as small as this, there’s no way I’m letting it affect me!” Ruggie said back to his cheery voice and chuckled. Riddle’s eyes widened, then suddenly, Cater’s question came back.

‘ “Do you, I don’t know, maybe like him?~ “ Cater sneered.’ Riddle remembered this and though as much as he wanted to deny it, Riddle was indeed slowly falling for him...

‘Maybe... Maybe I do like you. You have piqued my interest... Ruggie Bucchi’

m!ik masterlist | main masterlist

"dutch or french?", you comb your brother's hair as he puts down the book he's studying, craning his face slightly to you, "what do you think you're doing?" you roll your eyes as if it's obvious (it is.), "braiding your hair. duh." he stares at you in reply, the corner of his lips twitching, "and who told you to do that?" your brother alice is perfect in all things but everyone knows his only weakness is..

"just thought you might like it, since iruma-chi did let his grandpa braid his hair the other day." lies. you just want to see your brother in braids because it pains you to say this but he really does have some gorgeous hair. and he rarely experiments with it and it's low-key so infuriating! why not show off them in many, many pretty ways?

alice's eyes sparkle─ as according to plan ─but he quickly composes himself. "ah, if it's because of iruma-sama, you should've said it earlier. then.. dutch?"

oh you silly, gullible brother.

"cool." you simply say as your fingers start to thread along his strands as you do your magic. you've never met this iruma person but you really owe it to him for unconciously letting you do fun things to your brother. it confuses you a little because alice's and clara's perceptions of iruma are two worlds apart. you suppose this iruma is just too much of a complex character it seems.

you say nothing after that, basking in the silence as your brother continues his reading. you recognize the title of the book. of course, he would study that. you recall clara calling iruma the dumbest demon she ever met while complimenting his knowledge on the mythical zoology in the same sentence.

alice had always pride himself in his high social status and cold demeanor. yet now here he is sitting, few chapters into the book in the late evenings just because his friend likes it. and here he is with a badly drawn portrait of himself hung on his walls, the familiar signature from a certain green-haired in the corner of the paper.

"y/n," he suddenly calls out. "i'll do yours too."

in more ways than one..

you could hear the smirk in his chuckle, "i bet mine would look even better than yours."

alice cares about the little things.

saw edits of the manga n im sold now 🤧
