[ihavetoomanyocsdealwithit]

Yuu has the audacity to ask a question. It leads to some interesting moments  

Jade Leech, Rook Hunt, Vil Schoenheit, Floyd Leech

Jade Leech 

“Jade, can I ask you a question?” It’s not often that the library is so packed that you end up sharing a table but if it had to be with anybody, at least it was Jade.  

Jade wasn’t naturally academically smart. He took a lot of notes and studied in order to come out in the middle. There were folks that thought he was simply keeping his head down, but Yuu found out by accident. She knew Jade was incredibly street smart and people savvy though, no matter what grades he got. It worked in her favor though, as Jade let them copy notes from last year in exchange for not sharing the information anywhere. Not that Yuu planned too, but they weren’t going to pass up such an opportunity either.  

“Of course, I will assist in anyway I can.”  

“Do you have any books that you would recommend for scavenging for local flora and fauna in the woods back at Ramshackle? I’ve tried searching through the library but it’s a bit too vague for what I need.”

If Yuu had blinked, they would have missed the brief surprise and delight on his face.  

“Well,” he sets his pen down, “As the president of the Mountain Lovers club, I’m sure we could discuss that during our meetings. If only you were a member.” he sighed  

“If only Crowley would allow me to join any clubs.” Yuu muttered, “I know it's a requirement for first and second years to be involved in at least one, but he says I have far more to offer as his unofficial assistant. Unpaid is more accurate but what do I know.”  

Jade smiles, the one that matches his brothers. Wide and full of teeth.  

“Leave Crowley to me, dear Prefect. You just meet me in the morning behind Ramshackle. Bring a basket and your camera, oh,��and dress warm. It'll be cold for you.”  

He writes some extra instructions on a slip of paper and collects his things, turning left at the library doors. Damn, that was straight to the headmasters’ office too. Jade really doesn't play around when it comes to the Mountain Lover's club.

While Yuu isn’t able to attend every meeting, the Mountain Lover’s club apparently includes trips to other countries, recipes cooked in the Ramshackle kitchen as well as appreciating cultures and crafts made by various peoples which slowly starts to decorate the rickety dorm into something interesting and unique. Jade becomes a different person as a traveler and seems to find joy in just exploring and discovering all the different ways that people create and eat and live.  

After he graduates, Yuu gifts him the book that the two of them created, with pictures and descriptions of all the Night Raven College fauna and flora, their uses, if they are edible, and different recipe and potion ingredients, the regions it comes from, and even snippets of stories and memories they share.  

Jade is not an emotional man, but when he asks you to come with him on his next expedition, his smile is full of joy.  

Rook Hunt

“Rook, can I ask you a question?”  

Rook looks down from his spot in the tree, a camera perched in his hands. “Amazing eyesight, Mon Trickster! I did not anticipate being found. Ask away, but be quick, less Roi de Lion suspects me.”  

“Are there any plays or poetry books that would be good for a beginner? I read a lot back home but I know there is cultural and historical context I'm going to be missing-” 

“I am so happy!” he practically drops the tree, taking both of her hands to kiss the knuckles, “I would be happy to help you. Come, come!”  

Oh, they are going to the library now. Right now. Ok, Yuu should have expected that.  

Rook is always excitable, but he’s mindful as well. Picking out smaller volumes at first, and adding some reference materials, putting a few back as he asks questions about what she has already read or what she typically enjoys. He also writes out a list for audio books and radio performances. Thank the Seven that Crowley finally got them a phone and they could excuse the data usage for school.  

“I have the films I would be willing to lend, but I would ask you be incredibly careful.”  

“Oh, I don’t have a TV or any type of DVD player at Ramshackle. We try and keep the places as authentic as possible. It helps when the ghosts come to visit on Hallow’s eve.” They don’t have wifi either and their electricity runs off a backup generator, but Yuu doesn’t mention that. They are distinctly aware of how rundown Ramshackle is, but they try not to advertise how badly.  

“What dedication you have to your dorm and the history of Night Raven College. We may do so in Pomefiore!”  

And that’s how they end up having movie night basically every Wednesday night, sometimes with other Pomefiore members or even Vil himself refreshing on the classics. Rook would sit close by, quietly explaining certain contexts and even joining Yuu on reading through some of the poetry books. His passion comes out more with his knowledge than his speech in those moments, and it’s...nice. Normally Rook is the most reserved person she knows. He’s family is still a mystery, but she’s learned more about his beliefs and insights into how he perceives life in general. 

“This is how I met Roi de Poison, you know. He enchanted me at first sight, but his mind...he understood my passion for theater, music and beauty. He respected me, once I proved that I loved him for more than his looks and roles.”  

Crazy fan he might have been in the past, it was definitely more of an equal relationship once you saw past the surface level. Yuu eventually started picking a few habits and fashion tips, slowly becoming a bit more refined. Elegant even, she might say.  

When she hesitantly asks for help with other things, it's easier each time. Help with skincare routines, or experimenting with make-up, what colors work best and how silhouettes come across. It’s never been this fun to experiment with her style. It helps that Rook, while thinking certain things definitely work, will be gentle in the things that aren’t.  

“They do not enhance your beauty,” he says, sounding like Vil, “And you are already magnifique.”  

He is the first person that she shares her book of stories with, the precognitions that she has  

“Do you think fairy tales are fiction?” He asks her, quietly skimming over the passages of Snow White. The Fairest Queen is barely mentioned, but without her, there is no story.  

“Living here feels like a fairy tale, but if it is, you’ve made it a wonderful dream.”  

Rook looks at her, a surprised chuckle slipping out. Before he can hide it, his nose crinkles, a smile wide enough to show his gums, and Yuu thinks it enhances all the best of him.  

Vil Schoenheit 

“Vil, may I ask you a question?” 

“At least somebody paid attention when I went over manners. You may.” Vil says, as he adds in some sort of lilac powder. Normally, they wouldn’t have any classes together, but with Yuu acting as an ‘assistant’ towards the teachers to make extra cash, they got to see the second and third years more than even the other first years in their dorms.  

“How do you make time for it all? Between the acting jobs, getting good grades in school, indulging in potionology and homebrew makeup in your limited free time, it seems like you get so much done with just as much time as the rest of us.”  

“Thank you for noticing.” Vil says, looking up from his potion work. “And yes, I do keep a very organized schedule. Every minute is planned and my down time is spent decompressing efficiently.”  

“Is there any articles or techniques you would recommend? Or a template you used?” 

“You could just ask me for help, you know.” he retorts, huffing a bit.  

“I know I could, but I also want to be respectful of what you have on your plate.”  

“Ah, potato...I have plenty of time, especially in this season. I don’t schedule anything this close to finals. Come sit with me this evening for dinner and we will talk goals and progress markers. There is more to this mentally than most people think.”  

Vil is a bit less than impressed when he sees just how much Yuu accomplishes for Night Raven College with no credit and makes a note to talk to the teachers and Crowley about getting her properly compensated or at least. But overall, it goes well, making time for exercise, hobbies, studies and even some time with him. Telling her about the techniques he used and actually practicing them were two different things, and some things are just easier to show rather than tell.  

“Alright, let’s start here.”  

Mindfulness, ironically for somebody outside Scarabina, is important to Vil. Sinking fully into the experience of his daily life, looking at all the colors, enjoying his foods with no screens, or just enjoying the quiet while he removes makeup. His decompress is like a valve that he releases in minutes throughout the day, not hours at the end of it.

“This takes practice. Don’t discourage yourself if you don’t get it every time, eventually it will come more naturally.”  

And it does. Over the months, Yuu feels more productive than ever, even finding time to wonder about her own style. It is a bit embarrassing when Vil enters Ramshackle to use the Guest Room to study and sees her hastily trying to wash off eyeshadow. 

“Oh, spudling, not your color. No, no, here.” He sits, and teaches, a bit harshly at times, but he wouldn’t be Vil if he wasn’t direct. Much like Riddle, he fully believes that people can reach his level, and sees no reason why they shouldn’t. And while Yuu will never be Vil pretty, she certainly feels more beautiful and confident now than she ever has before.  

It isn’t until Vil is reviewing one of his performances that Yuu makes a comment, some offhand remark about the script not quite matching the vernacular expected for the period, that he invites her to sit and review more.  

Yuu doesn’t think it’s anything spectular, it’s kind of obvious, but apparently it wasn’t to the rest of the audience.  

Vil sits at thier usual tea table in the Night Raven Gardens, and slides a ticket over to her.  

“If you have time. I know you recently picked up a few photography jobs in town that would be a shame to miss. Rapport with clients is key, you know.”  

It’s the red-carpet event to a 5th year anniversary movie he did as a child. All glitz and glam, showing just how much they have grown as actors and people since their debuts. It’s a milestone even for Vil, the first and only role where he was played a supporting role that wasn’t a villain or antagonist.  

“What colors are you wearing? I might have something that compliments.” Yuu asks, already going through their mind for anything suitable in Ramshackle.  

“Well,” Vil preens, opening his laptop. “We will just have to buy something together to ensure we match, won’t we? When are you free?” 

It’s so small Yuu almost misses it, but hidden underneath his painted blush is a heated blush, quiet and pink and delighted.  

Floyd Leech

“Floyd, can I ask you a question?”   

Floyd doesn’t even bother looking up from his spot at the table, “Better not be a boring question Shrimpy, or I’ll squeeze ya~” 

“Where do you go to get your shoes repaired?”  

His head snaps up just a bit, left eye brighter than usual.  

“Ace had mentioned that your sole had torn during practice,” Yuu continues, feeling like they have to explain themselves with how intensely he was staring, “But the next day it had been stitched back on like new. There are some fantastic leather boots from the old NRC uniforms that I'd love to use, but I’m trying to find somebody who won’t butcher them or tell me they aren’t repairable just cause there old or out of style, you know?”  

Floyd nods, eyes still searching before ultimately just shrugging his shoulders. “Hmmm...at least it wasn’t boring. Meet at Monstro Lounge at 6 lil’ Shrimpy, bring the shoes!”  

He walks away before Yuu can even say that they have to meet with somebody else, but that really isn’t a possibility when a Leech brother has demanded your attention. Looks like you’ll have to reschedule with Deuce.  

The Monstro Lounge is fairly steady, though Yuu has never seen it slow. Always some sort of deal or exclusive that sets these rich bastards running through the doors, even if it’s just so they don’t have to deal with the lines in the cafeteria or cook their own food.  

Jade waves you in, taking the box from your hands in a gentlemanly manner, and leading you to the side. Floyd is quick to intercept, mumbling a thank you before his long strides leave you almost jogging.  

“Alright, let’s see what we are working with.”  

The dorm is clearly shared between him and Jade. Crisp white walls, a seashell and sea motif on the desk and headboard and some floating shelves that look vaguely like drift wood, exactly what she expected from Octanvinelle. But that’s about all the two sides have in common. Jade’s is organized, of course, but notable is the terrariums on the shelves and a stack of geology books tucked into the corner, along with photos of places he may have been or plans to go.

Floyd’s half is a mess, yes, but it’s organized chaos, like looking at Ace and Deuce’s dorm. High protein snacks are tucked on the shelves, completed 3D puzzles, and...fashion magazines? Huh, he did say that merpeople didn’t really have a reason to wear clothes so land peoples being so obsessed with it would be interesting, especially in different regions or cultures. And the trends are constantly changing. It actually started fitting, the more Yuu thought about it.  

Floyd set the box on the desk, picking up the shoes and bending them this way and that, pressing on the heel or pinches the toe.  

“You’ve taken good care of them,” He says, “The stitches are loose and the nails need to be hammered back in, but the leather is clean and strong. I’d get some new leather laces though, the wax on these has completely frayed from misuse. How old are these?”  

“They're from back when Ezra and the others went to school, but they don’t have a great concept of time.” Floyd raises an eyebrow. “Oh, the ghosts at Ramshackle.”  

“Huh, no wonder it felt like the place was trying to kick us out.” Floyd walks over to the walk-in closet and Yuu has to double take. She would have mistaken the closet for Jade’s! On the left, the clothes are hung neatly on the rack except for the everyday items like the basketball or school uniform which have their own spots hung neatly on the door itself. Below that are clear boxes that seem to hold all sort of tools. Are these hobbies that Floyd has picked up and gotten bored with?

But the right side of the walk in closet is just racks and racks of shoes. Wing tip dress, loafers, even a few kitten heels and red backed stiletos. All perfectly shined and displayed.  

“Floyd, you repair your own shoes?” Yuu taking the box he hands her.

“When you are as tall as me and Jade, you end up having to customize and fix a lot of your own clothes, unless you wanna pay some stupid prices, and standing there while they pin and stuff is boring. I’d rather just do it myself.” He takes out a wicked looking needle and a stand, securing it to the desk with a flick of a lever. “Which pair is your size?”  

“Oh, these.” she says, picking up a pair of loafers and ankle boots. “I can’t afford for you to do this for me Floyd. I don’t have the funds right now.” 

He just leans against the table with a laugh, “Oh, I aint doin’ it for free. Your gonna pay me by letting me keep a pair, specifically those.”

He points to the bottom of the box, a pair of thigh high riding boots from what she can tell.  

“Those are the ones in the worst shape?”  

“Oh, I won’t be able to get them to their original form, but I can lengthen the sole and toe area a bit, add a heel, and have a wicked pair of thighs high stilettos that’ll have even Betta fish jealous~” 

“With your legs, you’d look really good in a skirt.”  

They both blink.  

“Shit, sorry, my mouth ran-” Floyd laughs, something softer than usual.  

“Your damn right Shrimpy.” He smiles, “I do look damn good in a skirt. I prefer dresses though.”  

He takes a seat, motioning for her to take the other side, sets the shoe inside the stand, and starts explaining the process. It doesn’t always make sense but he’s clearly passionate about it.  

This might be a truer version of him, Yuu thinks, seeing him carefully take out a rusted nail to pull out a fresh silver one from an even smaller box. One that isn’t bored or moody, but just...getting able to do something that actually interests him.  

“Hey Floyd. Do you want to go thrifting with me and Kalim on Sunday? I think you’d have some interesting things to say about some of the finds, especially the clothes mart. They literally have a bin of vintage pieces for a dollar a piece.”  

He leans back, and does that smile again. All teeth but his eyes relax, all boyishly charming.  

“You got all the audacity in the world, don’t you?” He chuckles, “I’ll get my shift covered.”

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

Azul Ashnegrotto (& Jade Leech)

Azul is annoyed from the moment it comes up.

He thinks that this meeting will be about business and instead... It's about Jade. Jade? Not even the twins, literally JUST JADE.

He wants to sigh but withholds it for the first half to be polite.

[Name] is very passionate in their rant[?] about Jade.

They say many phrases that Azul does not understand.

He knows many things... slang just isn't one of those things.

He hardly understands why they are so captivated by Jade.

Jade isn't a bad person, outright, but to Azul, he's just... been there. The same could be said of Jade's twin brother, Floyd.

Azul wants this interaction to be over, it's awkward.

But [Name] did not answer, they just kept on yapping. /ref

This is getting tiring for the young merman. What even... is this?

As it continues, Azul finds himself starting to see their point.

This octomer maybe realizes that he is bisexual during this interaction. But he's not sure he wants to think about that yet.

He does not intend to help [Name] woo Jade unless they ask.

Floyd is also there. Being Floyd.

Azul was quite sure he didn't plan for this today. It wasn't on his schedule, he couldn't imagine why it would be. Who let them in? He sighed at the thought. He knew that this was an esteemed guest of the Mostro Lounge, he should be nice to them, they were a "friend" to him now, after all... And he valued them within reason...

Floyd had gone as far as to say that he and [Name] were the "best" friends of the group. Azul didn't really care. But he supposed the value must be true if the twins were interested. Jade seemed equally enthusiastic about this when it had been discussed.

Sigh. But this? This was pressing every button he had in the worst of ways and he was having trouble ignoring it. Every word grated on his last nerve and made him want to scream (and that would not be good for his image!).

"[Name]..." he began, only to be cut off by their (ongoing) speech.

"Azul! Don't you just love Jade?"

Azul paused. What? What did [Name] just ask me? Had he misheard them? He had to have misheard them. There was no way...

Composing himself, he answered.

"He is an associate of mine, yes—"

He was cut off by [Name] before he could finish the sentence.

"But isn't he dreamy?" they asked him.

Double what? Oh, this was happening. Joy.

"Well, you see—" Azul began, trying once more to explain before he was cut off again by the over-excited Prefect of Ramshackle.

"I just think he's so babygirl."

"You... what?" Azul said, turning to them with enough force to be cause for worry about the state of his neck.

"I said—" [Name] attempted to repeat before he cut them off.

"No, I heard you," Azul told them, "You consider Jade as a woman?"

This had to be some kind of land thing. Right? That, or he was once again spending too much time with books and not enough time with real people. It was just as his mother and grandmother had always said back home under the sea. He sighed at the very memory of it.

"No?" [Name] said, "Well, I mean, unless I should. Should I?"

Azul thought about it for a moment. Jade wasn't one to care about gender but he had never mentioned anything about womanhood. Noting that he answered their question with honesty.

"...He hasn't said anything to me about the matter."

"Oh, good. I wouldn't want to misgender Jade."

[Name] seemed relieved.

"You. I. You?" for a moment, Azul was at a loss for words, "Nevermind. [Name], what in the world has you so captivated with Jade today?"

They seemed to melt a little at the mention of Jade's name. They were clearly... invested in Jade. Surely this wasn't normal? Was it?

"He's just so—"

Azul sighed, cutting them off to explain he understood the concept.

"A young girl, I heard you the first time," the octomer said.

"He's just so perfect I can't even right now!!" [Name] gushed.

A second sigh escaped Azul, he wanted this moment to end. It was painfully awkward to hear about his... colleague like this. Not to mention inappropriate! They should just go tell Jade about this interest they had. Why him? What did he do to invite this?

"That makes two of us, though my frustration hardly lies with Jade."

"Hm?" [Name] asked, confused by the statement.

What did Azul mean by that, exactly?

"Nothing, nothing," Azul assured them through gritted teeth.

Like that, [Name] was back on their Jade high.

"Just... Jade."

"Indeed, er, I suppose," Azul said, relishing in the quiet that grew between them as [Name] observed Jade working from afar.

Jade and Floyd were waiting tables today. Floyd had complained that he was not in a "cooking mood" and decided that running orders around the lounge was much more "fun." That one gave Azul a headache, but that was normal.

Regardless, Azul only had one thought as [Name] watched Jade...

Silence! Sevens, finally.

But as he took a moment alone with the subject, his mind wandered down every path that [Name] had suggested about Jade, about the world. What would be different if Jade were a woman? Was Jade attractive? These were possibilities that Azul had never entertained.

It was enough to push toward a headache if he wasn't careful. Too much new information could be harmful to the mind, he knew this well. But it was something that his thoughts seemed to hook into, holding on tightly as if to say "Try to take this from me."

Azul's mind was a montage of every moment between himself and Jade (Floyd was also there but that was not important at the moment) since they had come to land. From Land Camp to Night Raven College... He had spent a lot of time with Jade.

Had something changed? For him? Jade? Anyone? Floyd?

...Maybe not Floyd. Unless? Hm, the twins in this light. Men in this light. Men? Men? Oh, dear. Well... it was something to think on. Something to not tell Mother, or Grandmother... or Stepfather...

"..."

He stood silently until [Name] poked his shoulder.

"Uhm... Azul? Are you okay?" they asked him, seeming a tad worried.

"Hm? I am fine, I suppose. You've given me something to..." the octomer trailed off for a moment, "Think on, I suppose."

"I did?" they asked, confused at the statement.

He didn't want to elaborate on this just yet. Too soon, far too soon.

"You did," he told them, "Just some... New information."

"Oh," [Name] said, "You're welcome, then?"

They laughed albeit a bit awkwardly as they spoke.

"SHRIMPY!!" a voice rang out from across the room.

Ah, they were noticed by a moray. The moray was sprinting toward them, closing in. Closer, closer... Target acquired. Squeeze. It was much gentler than when Azul instructed Floyd with clients.

"Hi, Floyd!" [Name] greeted him.

"Heyy," Floyd offered, "What are you doing with Azul, huh? Is he keeping you to himself?~"

[Name] tilted their head to the side at the question. What did Floyd mean by that? They liked Jade. They thought Floyd knew that but they shrugged it off as a Floyd-ism.

"We were just chatting," they told him.

"Maa, sounds boring! Wanna come play with me?"

Azul was almost thankful that there was a distraction from his obvious inner confusion. He had to hand it to Floyd's eccentricities, they came in handy sometimes (not often, but sometimes).

The eelmer picked up the human and slung them over his shoulder with ease. This was why people were scared of Floyd. He has monstrous physical strength.

"Eh?? Floyd, where are we going?" [Name] asked him, holding onto his shoulder to keep from accidentally falling onto the floor.

"We're playing 'Let's Bother Jade'!" Floyd told them, running toward his brother at the same speed he'd run towards [Name] earlier.

Azul turned to see Floyd (and [Name]) inches from colliding with Jade (who was holding 4 plates of food)...

.

Imagine the rest for yourself~

Good morning, I finished playing Yuu's route last night and I enjoyed it immensely, but I have to say that it was so bittersweet, knowing that I was playing the final route! It's been such an amazing journey!

I wanted to say that I've never enjoyed sci-fi before Gilded Shadows. I normally hate that genre, but seeing sci-fi through the lens of Morgan, someone interested in ancient history, was such a cool experience. It really grounded the game and kept my attention from start to finish.

I feel like I'm repeating myself, but the experience was phenomenal and the game was such an inspiration to me. Remembering the first time I played a route (Lance's route and yes I know I wasn't supposed to do that first, but I wanted to XD It made me cry twice because it was such a well handled 'what does it mean to be human' theme) and now the final time that I've played one has made me feel emotional.

I just want to say thank you for creating such a beautiful piece of art and sharing it with the world. I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful day and take care of yourself <3

Finishing a project is always a bit bittersweet because we are with them for so long. It feels weird to say good-bye.

I really like science fiction but I feel like hard sci-fi can be a little difficult to approach for some people. That's why I like to keep my SF a bit "sciencey" but not too much. It's always more fun to throw in Espers like in GS or...people who sing to the cosmos and fold space (like in WSC). I like that blend of science and "magic".

(Even so, I'm planning to return to writing fantasy for a while after WSC because I have some fun fantasy projects I'd love to finish too.)

Anyway! Thank you for playing and enjoying Gilded Shadows - and for dropping me a note to let you did. ╰(*°���°*)╯ I appreciate it, as always!

On the First Day of the New Year, A Fun Game

Gotta say, love seeing how terrified Ace is of Ruggie. That actually sent a shiver down my spine when I thought about Ruggie and Azul working together.

Gods, dang, Ruggie! How much money do you want for yourself!? I mean, I get it. I would totally do that too. But wow!

So, Azul is going to hire Ruggie to do this, right? Also, Ruggie, you scare me. I like looking at stuff and wondering! It is who I am!

Do not! This is a scam! Ruggie is playing you like the fools you are! Trey must know that right!?

Who the frick does a New Year's duel?!

Hock line in sinker..... You two will lose something great and when it happens, I hope I am there to watch.

The only person here who is sane.

........... Hey, anime, don't animate the series. Just the events. That's all I want.

You both collectively share a brain cell! So much so that I believe Ace and Deuce are a single student like Grim and Yuu.

I come from the future, Deuce is about to help his mother and Ace and Riddle head to a tropical island that gave me Kh flashbacks.

You see that? That's character development for Riddle. He doesn't care, and they should accept the lost with diginity and grace.

I am honestly surprise with how tame this event is so far. I was expecting something similar to the last one, except Cater is taking photos, Ruggie is stealing stuff to sell for a higher price, Vil is ordering and getting stuff done, and Sebek is screaming. Well, who knows? Who is tomorrow anyway? Jack and Leona? Well, that might be interesting!

Happy New Year everyone! Here's to another fun year of posts from this ridiculous app, stories I am working on, and any other videos I make. Thanks for your help last year, and I hope we will have fun and a wonderful year too!

[fum1ku]

hey hey! i hope ur doing well! i just wanted to say that im a huge fan of ur writing! I would absolutely love a matchup from haikyuu!

so for taste in guys, i care more about personality than appearance. id like someone who is nice, animated, and very funny. i prefer guys who would invest in a relationship and kind of match the vibe yk?? i think the biggest thing is probably someone who lifts your mood no matter what and is mentally refreshing/fun to be around. my type is probably golden retriever boyfriend tbh. also, my love language is physical touch and words of affirmation. 

my personality is pretty outgoing and bubbly. i am as kind as possible to the people i meet, and i think i have a pretty decent sense of humor. i love to hang out with people who i can be myself around and can make me laugh. i lack self confidence and get insecure pretty easily, but im not rlly vocal about it. also, im a gemini! in terms of appearance, im 5’4, midsizeish and i have brown shoulder length hair that i guess u could call a wolf cut?? i have green eyes and i do my makeup on a daily basis. i typically do big eyeliner and lashes with black eyeshadow. i dress emo i guess? its like a mix of emo and grunge lol im not quite sure 😭 

im really into things relating to music. i love blasting music and going to concerts. my favorite genre of music is punk/posthardcore, and my favorite bands are pierce the veil, my chemical romance, paramore, etc. i play guitar in a band with my friends too! its a big part of my life and its really important to me, so id love someone with similar interests who i can relate to. im also really into volleyball! im on my school team and i play libero. my other hobbies are art, watching tv, rollerskating, and singing. in the future, i see myself pursuing music in some way. i know its a hard field to get into, but im really passionate about it. i want to (hopefully) tour with my band too! 

thats pretty much it! thank u soso much love i cant wait to see who i get!

-> CHRISTINA’S MATCHUP

Hi, Cretenu!! <3 For your matchup I was torn between Semi Eita & Yuu Nishinoya. I considered Semi for a hot minute because of your love for music, and the fact that he’s a musician post-timeskip obviously means he has a love for music somewhere at some point. And I love bonding over shared interests in a relationship. But I also think chemistry is such a big part and I feel like Nishinoya just has that to offer.

I also really REALLY hope you’re not against shorter guys. I realize I like of make the assumption that people aren’t because I’m not 😭

Anyways, I hope you enjoy! Thank you so much for your matchup request 🤍

Thank You for Watching！〜Songs, Cake, Laughter and Tears〜

Two weeks ago, on March 25th, I held my “Wakana Spring Shark Festival Vol.2 ~Talk & Mini Live~”! And I invited Yuuka Nanri as guest♡ The theme behind the event was basically a birthday celebration for Yuuka. The cake was delicious (*'▽'*) An entire shortcake like that really feels special so it’s great♡ And once again, there was a problem with the live stream...! (T-T) Right at the beginning there was no sound... (T-T) I'm really sorry to everyone who watched it in real time. When the live stream starts, there is always a slight time lag so I will check the mic until the staff gives the OK. But this time I didn’t get an OK 😳 I was wondering what issue it could be....But everyone's comments were steadily coming in so I thought you were all able to hear and see me which is why I decided to start talking about some random stuff😂😂 Then I realised that there was a big problem with the audio and I was like,��“oh no!” ( ; ; )

I was talking about watching Japan win the WBC while waiting for an appointment at the chiropractic clinic but alas, no one was able to hear that. However, I did get some comments saying, "I don't know what you're saying, but your body language is amazing" *laughs*, Anyways, I'm really sorry for making you wait so long at the beginning ( ; ; ) 

After that, we were able to start streaming without any issues! (all the staff did their best!!) We started the event with a mini live! First of all, I wanted to sing something spring related so the first song was "Yureru Haru"＼(^-^)／I had Shin-san play the piano for me many times before but I think it was the first time we performed this song together. I feel like we all have my collabs with Sakai Yurie-chan engraved in our memory☆😉I wonder if Yurie-chan is doing well in Hokkaido~♪(^^) For the second song, I chose "Flag", which will be included in my 3rd album "Sono Saki he", set to be released on May 31st! It was the first time for me singing it with just a piano as accompaniment so I was wondering how it would turn out, but as expected of Shin-san, he created a truly powerful arrangement…😳✨ Then it was time to pass the baton to Yuu-chan.She sang a the FJY song “inside your heart" and “Colors of the Wind” from Disney's Pocahontas! Wow, she is really amazing...😭She talks with such an elegant voice but the moment she starts singing, there is so much dignity in every breath...✨ Each word becomes a sound and sinks into your heart, making you feel nostalgic and warm. I mean, you’ll basically end up crying😂😂Tears are inevitable!😭It seems like everyone felt the same way! (I was reading your comments in the archived version and from what I could tell, you all started crying too *laughs*) And at the end, we sang "Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta nara" together♪ Singing various melodies is truly fun♪(^_^) You can feel the infinite possibilities of adding colour to your voice! 

In the talk corner that followed, we invited everyone to ask questions in the comments while also trying to dedicate some time to questions that had been asked in the previous event. I honestly wasn't able to follow the comments properly, and everyone was asking quite a lot of questions!😂 You really had a lot of questions...Next time, I will try to answer some more! *laughs* I guess the number of unanswered questions will continue to increase~😂 There was also some discussion about the content of future broadcast events. What would you like me to do during the next shark festival? Some people suggested a tea party some sort of mukbang with gourmet food. I thought both sounded really interesting! So, let's invite Yuu-chan again and do a "Gourmet Mukbang / Tea Party" someday! \\\\٩( 'ω' )و //// Sounds like so much fun! Thank you all for watching! (^-^) I'm looking forward to seeing you again♪ 

I’ll leave it at this for today! In the next blog post, I will write about the album production which has finally reached its climax! Until next time~☆(*'▽'*)/

Yuu Trivia

the fic isn’t done yet and i write as i go, so i dont particularly have any plan in mind. everything is written on the fly xD i wrote these trivia bits to kinda help me figure out yuu’s background and how it intertwines with the nrc boys

-Yuu’s mother is a former Kimono Girl (not one of the Kimono Girls from HGSS, just a Kimono Girl) from Ecruteak City, which is why Yuu knows a lot about Ho-Oh, Lugia, the legendary dog trio, and Celebi. Malleus enjoys hearing the legends from both Sinnoh and Johto.

-Yuu’s father runs a cafe in Hearthome City, which is where Yuu gets all her cooking and baking experience from. She and Trey often get together to bake sweets.

-Yuu enjoys the sea and swimming, finding the water to be a very enjoyable and relaxing place. She goes to Octavinelle a lot as a result of her love for the sea.

-Her uncle and aunt run a ranch in Solaceon Town, so Yuu and her brothers’ other Pokemon get sent there to be taken care of. It’s like how Ash sends his Pokemon to Professor Oak.

-She gets along well with Kalim, the other rare sunshine personality in NRC.

-Since her mother was a Kimono Girl, she knows how to dance like one since she loves watching her mother dance. Vil and Rook take great interest in her dancing.

-As much as she loves traveling, she also loves staying home. She loves playing video games and surfing the internet in the comfort of her room. That helps her get along with Idia, though she can get lost when he really gets into the technical specs stuff. She’s happy to listen regardless.

-As a trainer who takes good care of her Pokemon, of course that would mean she’s good at brushing them. Jack will never admit that he wants to be brushed by her. She brushes him anyway.

-Thanks to their shared love of curry, she and Jamil share recipes for it. Jamil loves the prospect of trying curry from another world, and Yuu happens to know a lot of recipes for Galarian curry.

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 😭)

Word count: 2242

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’

[nrc-broadcasting]

Hello Yuu,

It's Sahil again.

I'm here to ask a few more questions and also answer how I became housewarden.

First, I'll ask my questions.

I think you might have some experience with a certain vacationing headmage, but I've sent him a letter with my concerns for how he keeps transferring out the rare female students - or even some fem-leaning afab students - out of Night Raven to different schools. It doesn't seem to be with their permission - they don't seem to be unwell, so there's some good part to it (I think.... .) So how should I bring it up the the staff (because Professor Crewel will kick his ass and I will film it). He even tried to transfer me out when Kalim found out I was a girl - and that was a whole sh*tshow... .

I also wanted to ask - how do you tell a girl you're fake dating that you like her? I've been fake dating some one I would say is a sort of rival and friend of mine, but I've realized I like her, but I don't know how she feels about me - just that she's sapphic like me.

Now for the housewarden story. You might not know this, but as Kalim's personal bodyguard, I'm quite tough.

I challenged Malleus to a duel for the housewarden position a few months after the S.T.Y.X. incident and asked if we could use our physical strength as well - he agreed. I also have a pretty deadly UM - it's similar to King's Roar, but simply put I can break ...things.. and turn it to treasure. So it was a close match and I might have lost, but physical fighting was alowwed and Malleus put a magic limiting spell on me that I reflected, so --

Long story short, I won just barely and we were both in the infirmary for about a week or so. As for how we get along, Malleus is quite kind to me and chivalrous in general - I guess I'd call it that, but he thought I was a guy all through our duel until I corrected him with my pronouns - so, we're fine. He never made fun of me for being a tiger shifter.

I also wanted to say thank you for the previous response and tell you the conversatio that me and Jamil had with Kalim worked well - but we just shared the bare bones. I don't think I'll be ready to tell him everything anytime soon... .

Anyway, I'm sorry for how long this response is. I hope you're having a good day, Yuu.

…Can I Ask You A Question

﹥━━━━━━━🎧━━━━━━━﹤⋆

Okay, at this point I’m already too invested in Sahil’s story, so if it’s fine with you, anon, if you ever write/have written anything about Sahil, can I please get tagged? Only if you’re okay with revealing yourself, that is! But please, do consider, I find it very interesting, so cheers to your creativity! Anyways, wrote this at school so bare with me, I don’t want my phone confiscated.

Open. Close.

Another attempt to say something, but they can’t seem to find the words.

That was all Yuu’s mouth did.

“Uh,” Yuu stuttered, scratching their head at the length of this particular message.

“Where to start, where to start…” They mumble, their voice almost drowned out by Grim’s loud purring as he sits in Yuu’s lap as they pet him.

They rest their elbow on the table, planting their head in their hand.

“For, uh. Easier distinction, let’s take this message and separate it into parts. I’ll verbally say when we move onto the next thing.” They waved their hand in contemplation, still processing everything.

A cough, the muffled sound of Yuu shifting in their seat to sit up straight.

“Alright. Here we go: let’s address the whole Crowley situation.” They insert the confidence back into their voice and push away the fog of disorientation that lingered before.

“I’ll help you on that, physically. Drag him back from wherever he is right now. We all know he’s kind of a meathead guy.” Yuu sighed, hand moving to their head again as they feel the familiar migraine that always accompanies the very mention of the ‘gracious’ Headmaster.

“Let the people who were transferred out know about this, then bring them with you when you confront him. If they’re upset about it, of course. It’s fine if they don’t mind.” Crystal clear, the plan starts formulating in their head.

“As you know, I can and will be a petty person, so to take this a little further, summon the staff and the other housewardens to witness your confrontation. Then you can see what they think about it.”

“Riddle would be perplexed by it; Leona, as he comes from Sunset Savana, will not tolerate such behavior towards women. Azul is, well…probably upset at such discrimination. Kalim just won’t agree, Vil is quite feminine himself, NRC wouldn’t want to lose such a high profile student, would they?” An innocent tilt of their head.

“Idia probably won’t have any opinion, but Malleus? He seems to respect you, much more than he probably ever will respect the headmaster.” They rambled.

“What I’m saying is, you’ve already got him outnumbered. All you have to do is bring it up and let sh-t go down.” A dark chuckle.

“Anyways, I’ll be there myself. Who knows, maybe I can blackmail a pay raise out of him.” They shrug.

“If they were chosen by the mirror, what reason does the headmaster have to transfer them out? They should only be transferred out when they give confirmation that yes, they do want out. Otherwise that’s just dabbling in someone else’s personal affairs.” Yuu says.

“Now,” they once again read the message and unconsciously scratch their head.

“Y’all do realize I’m single as a f-cking rock, right? But despite that, let me try to help you unfortunate souls.” They joke.

“Moving on, let’s address the fake dating thing.”

“Plan a date first? She won’t think much of it because you are ‘fake dating.’” They blink at the lights as they flicker.

“Then just tell her. Be straight forward. Hinting at it won’t do anything.”

“If she agreed to pretend to date you, you must be someone she’d be fine with as a partner. Being rivals don’t necessarily mean you have to hate each other, it’s just that you recognize each other’s skills and respect that.” They say knowingly.

“And you’re welcome, glad everything worked out between you, Kalim, and Jamil.” They give a little smile.

﹥━━━━━━━🎧━━━━━━━﹤⋆

Our fairytale has come to an end.

[blxxdingtoy]

Diasomnia book theory

So... the trailer right?? I don't like theorize much bcs then I will fall into deception. BUT I HAVE TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS!

First things first:

We all know what this is Malleus staff since he is the dorm leader right? We all know that represent the spinning wheel that cursed Aurora. But what brings my attention are the threads behind it.

It wouldn't be that deep if it wasn't for this sequences of Silver:

Yeah, Silver begin put like that is not a coincidences, but when he opens his eyes the threads disappear. It could mean that Silver will break the spell.

But wait. What spell are you talking about Toy? Well the spell Melleus will put US AND SILVER UNDER. The same spell from sleeping beauty.

Let me explain why I belive that. Silver and Yuu/MC are the only humans Melleus is close with and thanks to chapter 6 we know Malleus never one thought about how he was going to outlive us. The preview at the end leaves the assumption that the main problem is Malleus innocences. Even if is exaggarated in the fandom, Malleus lacks real world experiences, specially with humans. That's the reason why Lilla told him to go to NRC. But it wasn't until we arrived that Malleus really got to experiences what is like to spend time with a human who doesn't fear him. Yuu became precious to him as a friend, and by the looks on it, Silver too. He fears to lose that. So he will put both Silver and Yuu to sleep, but a type of sleep that will also not make them grow old, after all he does says 1000.

Now... how will the spell work? Obviously he can just use his staff right? But the next pictures makes me think they might pull something ironic.

The fact that his lips are shown when he says "1000 years will feel like a dream" makes me think that maybe... just maybe, the spell will work if he kisses them on the lips. I know, I know that's a stretch, but it really makes senses to me since they showed his lips specifically for THAT dialogue. And let's be real... that would be cool.

Last but not least, the ending:

Normally they end with blot but not this one. It makes me think that Diasomnia, onces the whole shitshow goes down, will be closed of by the vines. Ofc that doesn't mean he's not gonna overblot, but that would make the battles kind of interesting.

Anyways, thanks for coming to my tedtalk

[twisted-wonderland-shenanigans]

HELLO - BEFORE YOU READ THIS ASK IDK IF YOUR ENG ONLY SO DELETE THE ASK IF YOU DON'T WANT FUTURE EVENT SPOILERS BUT IF YOU'RE CAUGHT UP WITH JP SERVER EVENTS/DON'T MIND THEN! THAT'S AWESOME! SORRY FOR THE BRAINROT!

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR MONSTER AU ('tis the one who left copious tags on your humans is weird thing starring cater, call me fluff) AND I FIGURED ID SEND IN AN ASK BECAUSE. I LOVE YOUR AU. AND YOUR BRAIN IS AMAZING.

Anywho

I'm thinking about some of the events like the Scalding sands event (or even the Harveston event) where some of the students go out away from the college and stuff - specifically the Scalding sands one because that's the one I know most about

But, like, Jamil being EVEN MORE STRESSED! Because! Not only does he have to keep an eye on Kalim, and some other classmates, but he was worried about Malleus getting into a bind... And having to bring along a HUMAN?! He'd be returning to NRC with a headache for sure lmao

Anyways I just wanted to share the fact that that was on my mind and see what you thought of it lol

- Fluff

I appreciate the spoiler warning, but while I do play the English version of the game, I am very much caught up in all the Japan server events and the shenanigans that have happened! :D Feel free to scream all the brainrot ideas at me! ÒwÓ

Thank you so much, Fluff anon~! (Though I know who you are~ >w>) It makes me so happy knowing that so many people love this AU so much, I can’t even begin to thank you all for all the love and support! QvQ

Ahem! Now then, on to the chaotic musings~ UvU

You actually touched up on a very good point: Twisted Wonderland’s events! Now, we know in the normal game that Yuu tends to get dragged into the thick of each event’s shenanigans in some way, shape, or form. However, in the Monster AU, the stakes and risks are much higher being the only human around whether they’re normal Yuu or mini!Yuu.

Halloween was even more of a nightmare for Yuu and the staff once the Magicam monsters began terrorizing both versions to post to their accounts, with several being arrested and charged by the school and research institutions for “threatening a critically endangered species” and stressing them out unnecessarily (serves them right though when they broke into Ramshackle like in the game. >.>) When it came to mini!Yuu though...let’s just say that Crowley and the rest of the school showed those Magicam monsters that it was unwise to make a scared toddler cry. Say goodbye to any social clout they had online or in real life once Mom Vil is through with them, let alone once big brothers Ortho and Idia upload crystal clear videos of their selfish and cruel disregard for the child’s comfort! >:V

Both Yuu’s are going to be very well protected and cared for once all is said and done, and they're going to get so many treats! I did, however, get a very interesting ask involving Yuu and the Halloween event, so I’m gonna play around with that idea as a scenario of sorts, as it sounds fun being “Home Alone” if you catch my drift~ >w>

Anyway, ghost Marriage, Beans Day, Fairy Gala, Harveston’s Kelkkarotu, and even the second half of the Halloween event? Yup, each one winds up being twice as chaotic than the original as it is definitely going to be hard to ignore a human walking around. Harveston will likely be the least stressful by comparison, as I’d imagine the village would be warm and welcoming to both Yuu’s as they celebrate the event together!

The Scalding Sands’ Al’ab Nariya (or “fireworks”) event, however, is going to be three times as difficult to the point it’s seriously considered that they get a bodyguard for extra security. Think Kalim’s family gets targeted a lot? Imagine a lone human in a place where thieves and criminals may be lurking in the shadows looking for a fortune! So Jamil having to worry about Malleus and Yuu? If he wasn’t stressed before, he certainly is now!

Mini!Yuu though has a much easier solution: a child harness and a carrier! The carrier would be one that can easily be swapped and worn by anyone of the group (minus Grim of course). They’ll be extra vigilant though, but rest assured they will be the safest child in Twisted Wonderland! (Also, can you imagine Malleus carrying a tiny human in a carrier on his chest or back? Adorable!)

Jamil is more than likely going to get a stress headache afterwards until they get back to school, but he’d be lying if he said he didn’t have fun in the end. UvU

So yeah, any ideas for chaos or just fluff or silliness, send them my way and I shall see what I can come up with! ÒvÓ

[darlingnightfashion]

I had a idea of that if yuu/mc can't go home at all so before the second Halloween, Lilia walked in on Yuu/mc singing songs like "I put a spell on you", "the zombie song"and maybe "friends on the other side" or "when the sky falls" rook version, records it and then Lilia is like "ooooo I need to show my club members this!" And disappears only to show back up a bit later with the club and basically kidnaps Yuu/mc brings them to there club so they can learn the songs they where singing so they can put on a show for Halloween and have Yuu/mc as there main vocals cuz they know the songs the best,

But the day before of there first performance Yuu/mc stops by sam's shop for snacks and in the middle of getting the snacks something shiny catches there eye so they go over to it and checks it out only to find out it's a set of four ruby like gems on black chokers (cough cough the mlp dasslings necklaces cus why not)

And Sam is like out of nowhere " oh I see your interest in those, they'll be great to ware while you guys perform this week! I'll ever sell them to you as a bundle with 20% off! How about it? (Idk where to put his catch fraze) and then be like "they're to boust confidence!" And such and not telling them that the other magical properties of them that even Yuu/mc themselves can ues the magic they hold and have the people listening put under a spell or do whatever the dasslings did lol

So after a bit of convincing Yuu/mc buys them along with the snacks before returning to the club and passed out the chokers and snacks before taking one and puts it on(or they already have it on already and keeps it on because they love it a lot, that's who ever want to write this lol) the group questions the chokers but rolls with it cuz there matching so they all just have them on, and as the time passes the don't notice the effects it has on people when they in a group so by the time they perform it just looks like really cool show effects that Ortho or idia added with out telling them (lol idk I just thought they would be cool as a side story or something, anyway thanks for reading my ramblings also if there's already something like this please share it with me or if someone writes this then please share with me:3

Lol wanted to add my favorite holloween screen shot this week

Sweet Blood

For @mikayuuweek

Day 5: Human/Vampire (Enhanced Omegaverse, Delta!Yuu/Beta!Mika)

I had this AU for a long while now, and I’m glad that I get to write it. This drabble was inspired by two of my favorite fanfics, and I’m not sure if old fans still recognize the premise and the situation. If they do, congratulations, you are absolutely write! Anyway, with that said, enjoy reading!

---

The smell of a strong delta filled Mikaela's nose once again as he entered his room, and to be made aware of who owned that scent annoyed him. It didn't help one bit that the smell was Mikaela's preference out of everyone's unpleasant musks. 

However, it belonged to a human, begrudgingly so.

"Stop flaunting your scent around. I'm not attracted or interested in you." 

Green eyes peered at his captor curiously, tilting his head. "But I'm not…?"

Mikaela frowned, unconvinced. 

"I'm literally not doing anything, and it's 'Yuuichirou', not 'human'." The human - Yuuichirou - claimed with more emphasis as he crossed his arms on his chest. His brows furrowed to a frown similarly to Mikaela's. "What, maybe your nose is broken; I don't know. I probably punched you hard enough to break it at that time. I'm quite strong, you know."

"You aren't funny."

"I wasn't trying to."

They both shared a moment of silence to glare at each other. The scent of defiance and irritation were palpable as it flared in both of their pheromones. No one dared to back out for a good while until Mikaela turned around with a scoff.

"I don't see why Her Majesty is interested in you. You're just an insect in my sight. An annoying one, too." Mikaela sighed as he undid his coat and draped the garment on one of his arms. "I would rather take on other missions than to deal with a troublesome human like you."

"The feeling is mutual, Mikaela."

Yuuichirou barely blinked when Mikaela was suddenly in front of him. A gloved hand grabbed onto the human's defenseless neck and gave a squeeze tight enough to serve as a warning for the other.

Mikaela leered.

"Who gave you the right to say my name?" He asked. "I never even gave it to you to speak in that filthy mouth of yours."

Yuuichirou stared at the vampire before smirking. "You really underestimated me, huh? Figures…"

A squeeze. Yuuichirou cleared his throat, unafraid.

"The leech--ah, Your Queen did say your name when she assigned me to you despite your disapproval." Yuuichirou answered honestly. "Did you really think I didn't listen when I was captured? Or were you just disgusted by the sight of me that you didn't even bother?"

"... It doesn't matter. You will die in the end either way." Mikaela stated as he roughly threw Yuuichirou on the bed, making the human cough once he was released. The chains on Yuuichirou's wrists rattled at the rough treatment.

"Hey, what the -- Mmph?!"

A cushion was thrown at Yuuichirou's face.

"---Hey! Ack!"

Another cushion.

"Wait..!"

Another cushion.

"What are you doing?!"

Mikaela stared blankly as he threw another cushion at Yuuichirou's face, knocking the delta back into the mattress who groaned in defeat at being hit by the many pillows hurled in his direction.

Yuuichirou was thankful that the bed was soft, and that it also smelled good. However, it didn't help alleviate the pain that was starting to throb on his face from the assault. His expression expectedly soured.

"---While I despise the thought of sharing anything with you, Her Majesty wants you to be well taken care of." Mikaela explained. "According to the sun's direction outside, it's dusk. Hence, you require sleep."

"Uh… You do know a soldier like me doesn't really need sleep, right?" Yuuichirou dawdled with a questioning gaze at the vampire. "And if I do, how will I be sure that you won't attack me and drain me of my blood?”

Mikaela huffed.

"I have far more important things to deal with than to suck you of your cheap blood. Don't think too highly of yourself."

"That wasn't what your colleague said when I accidentally injured myself."

"He has low standards, then."

At that, Yuuichirou looked at Mikaela incredulously.

"You vampires have standards?"

Mikaela sighed at the ridiculous direction of the conversation, and he smothered Yuuichirou with another cushion to keep him quiet. The human was very talkative today. 

"Enough of this. Sleep. I'm not going to repeat myself."

Yuuichirou's green eyes peeked out from the pillows as he gave a defiant frown at Mikaela. Mikaela answered by burying the other with even more pillows.

"Okay, okay, I'll sleep…! Stop that!" Yuuichirou gasped as he took out the one pillow about to suffocate him. "Geez, you…"

Yuuichirou's light chuckle caught Mikaela's attention. It sounded… nice to his ears. How odd.

"What's so funny, human?"

"Nothing, nothing…" Yuuichirou deflected as he arranged some pillows for his comfort, creating a rather presentable nest on Mikaela's bed.

Mikaela observed him owlishly. Yuuichirou noticed his gaze.

"Ah, my sister taught me this, saying that I have to learn so that I won't upset my future mate." He reasoned with a sheepish grin. "I know it's weird for a delta like me, but it's actually comfortable."

"You, second-in-command to alphas… making a nest for your future mate?"

"Yup."

For some reason, the confirmation pleased Mikaela's beta nature more than it should. He wouldn't admit to it, though.

"I see that humans continue to grow strange as time passes by…"

"Pfft, you're one to talk," Yuuichirou snickered as he eventually settled down. "Well then, since someone insisted I sleep, I'm going to sleep now."

Mikaela hummed in approval for once. "As you should."

Yuuichirou laughed.

"What are you, my mate?"

"... Don't test my patience."

Yuuichirou ignored Mikaela's glare as he gratefully pulled the blanket over himself while grinning, chalking up his small victory as drowsiness eventually overcame him. The chains on his skin were uncomfortable, but it wasn't something he couldn't handle.

Eventually, the soft breathing of relaxation reached Mikaela's ears. He watched for a moment to see if Yuuichirou was going to wake up again, and when he didn't, Mikaela unexpectedly sighed in relief. 

"Finally," Mikaela murmured as he took out a key from his bedside drawer to unlock Yuuichirou's chains. He rubbed on the sore spots on the human's wrists, listening to Yuuichirou groaning pleasantly at the touch as he applied some hand cream that he stole from Horn. 

"Stupid human, you're always full of energy. Lacus could've killed you if I hadn't intervened…"

Yuuichirou grumbled something in reply, too lost in his dreams while Mikaela continued to tend to his injuries. His fingers lingered a bit on Yuuichirou's hand, aimlessly relishing the warmth that it gave against his cold skin.

He almost forgot how it felt to experience such a thing, and he couldn't help himself when he lifted it close to his face and pierced one of his fangs against it gently -- almost like a tiny, unnoticeable prick. The defenseless flesh paved way to a bead of blood that Mikaela licked almost immediately as if starved. 

"Stupid human…" Mikaela groaned lightly. A lovely blush settled on his cheeks as he licked the wound clean, lowering his guard down around the sleeping human. "Your blood tastes sweet."

Oooo oh! The post you just made is so interesting! Can you do a version with how things go down in the supervillain universe? Like all the dorm heads call Yuu Prefect and Yuu freaks out internally as to how these younger version of the supervillains know their secret?

@ectopus said: ok now i wanna know more on whats happening with older Yuu with the dorm leaders from twisted wonderland

Anonymous said: Finding out your crush is also your enemy sometimes ally is amazing funny! Reporter Yuu gots their hands full with these teenagers and twenty-year-old.

Yuu the Reporter isn’t exactly happy to hear frantic banging on their apartment door late at night. Unsurprised, but not happy.

“I know I told you all I have the 6AM shift tomorrow.” They grouse loudly as they go to open it. “So I don’t care what amazing scheme it is you want to kidnap me for, it is not my pro—”

They stop short when they see what looks like younger versions of Tsunotaro, Charon, and...is that Viper-san? The aide to Kalim Al-Asim?

The trio are huddled together miserably on their doorstep, all dressed in similar school uniforms. Tsunotaro and Charon have a blazer and a hoodie held over their heads, as if that will in any way disguise them.

“This just became my problem, didn’t it.” The reporter says glumly to the three...teenagers? They look like teenagers, Great Seven they’re so lanky and baby-faced, it’s making Yuu feel old.

Teenage Charon lets out a squeak, the edges of his hair flaring hot pink under his hoodie. Teenage Tsunotaro is just staring at them, wide-eyed and mute. Teen Viper-san swallows and says “You think?” in what is probably supposed to be a sardonic manner, but the effect is kinda ruined by his voice cracking halfway through.

It says a lot about Yuu’s life that they just open the door wider and stand aside to let the teenagers shuffle in with only a weary, “Age ray or alternate selves?”

Of course, it can never just be two or three afflicted with the supervillains.

Malleus, Idia, and Jamil are in the middle of explaining how they each came to in different lairs, running into each other on their way to the only recognizable name in the lair’s databases and running away from the screaming townsfolk in Malleus and Idia’s cases, when there’s another violent pounding at the door.

The reporter has to get Jamil to put his...magic wand? thing away before they can go see who it is. Yuu’s not sure how much damage that thing can do, but they’d rather their apartment not get turned into the scene of a brawl again, please and thank you.

The teenager insists on hovering though, as though Yuu is not a grown ass adult who can open doors on their own and not shatter like glass. He promptly gets bowled over by the three other uniformed teenagers and young adult (?) that burst in the moment the handle turns.

The younger King slams the door shut behind them, tail lashing up a storm and ears nearly flat on his head, a growl still rumbling in his chest. The teenage Octo Dealer’s glasses have been snapped clean in half. Yuu still doesn’t get why younger versions of Dr. Rosehearts and Schoenheit-san are with them, but the pair of civilians look understandably shaken.

They are all covered in glitter.

The reporter recognizes that look well. “A RSA hero found you, didn’t they?”

Schoenheit-san sneezes on glitter as he scoffs, “Hero? An overgrown manchild courting indecent exposure and awful fashion sense is more like it!”

White Neige it is then.

The reporter goes to get the first aid kit and lint roller to begin patching up the high schoolers like they’ve done countless times for the minions and supervillains before them.

So Yuu’s little apartment is now filled with high schoolers. High schoolers who are having some trouble absorbing the fact that they’re in a world where four of them are highly feared supervillains, and three of them are hapless civilians. All of them seem to be united in glaring at Grim when he strolls out of the reporter’s bedroom and asks how they all got so small.

By now, Yuu’s phone has begun blowing up with messages from the Game Night group and the other minions asking where their bosses are.

The reporter texts back that they have no idea where Snake Charmer, Poison Queen, or Royal Flush are, but they do snap a picture to send in a group message of the teenage boys who are currently bickering over who gets to sit on the couch versus the floor, and whether Leona lying down on it and taking up the whole thing is “fair” to everyone else.

Uproar in the chat.

Lilia is squeeing over how small and cute Malleus is, lookit him in his little fancy school uniform!! Sebek is both joining in with this praise, and terrified about how they can turn the young master back to his old self! Silver is asleep because he has that luxury, the lucky bastard.

Ruggie is disappointed that his boss doesn’t have anything embarrassing that could potentially serve as blackmail material to get himself a pay raise. Jack wants to arm wrestle young Leona if he’s still there tomorrow and see who would win.

Floyd and Jade want to come over to pick on Azul! Yuu says no! They say they’re coming anyway!!

Ortho is coming too!! His nii-san is now younger and needs him and there’s nothing Yuu can do about it!!

Lilia heavily implies that they all can wait until tomorrow or else.

Suddenly Yuu is no longer anticipating any more house guests tonight. Yay?

Waterboy’s weirdly excited at the picture of Jamil, and Huntsman keeps rhapsodizing about Vil’s youthful beauty, but they’re both a little odd so the reporter purposely thinks nothing of it.

Just like they think nothing of Trey’s oddly monosyllabic mother-henning over the young Riddle. He’s much smaller than the other boys—he probably just set of Trey’s big brother instincts is all. And if the rest of the Heartslaybul minions have gone strangely quiet too? They’re likely just busy searching for Royal Flush. Nothing to read into here, no sir.

Yuuken tells Yuu to call if they need any extra food or blankets for their guests or anything. He’ll try to convince their boss’s boss that Yuu’s taken ill tomorrow. For a moment, all seems right with the world.

Then Azul calls for the “prefect” to come settle the couch argument.

Yuu promptly drops the cup they were about to pour lemon tea into.

They wave off Malleus and Riddle’s concern, Azul’s apologies, and Jamil’s attempts to clear up the shards up for them, saying they were just...startled at being addressed like that.

The reporter explains that, while the students’ version of Yuu might be known as a prefect back at their school, here The Prefect is the name of a...controversial vigilante. One who foils the villainous schemes of the top seven supervillains in the city, and usually takes quite the beating while doing so. The supervillains’ ire even extends to their friend and cameraman, Yuuken, who’s only suspected of being the Prefect.

Yuu likes being on good enough terms with the supervillains that they know even if they get kidnapped, they won’t get seriously hurt. If they or any of their minions were to be given reason, however flimsy, to believe the reporter was The Prefect...

Well. Yuu doesn’t like to think about what would happen then.

The high schoolers keep shooting Yuu looks that suggest they don’t buy this flimsy explanation, but they let the subject drop mercifully, turning back to serving tea and dividing up who will be sleeping where.

Another argument erupts when the reporter offers to sleep on the floor so one or two of them can share their bed. Leona and Malleus come close to almost burning the apartment down before Yuu takes a page out of Uncle Divvy’s book and breaks out the rolled up newspaper to restore order.

Later that night, after it’s all settled and the students are all fast asleep, Yuu the Reporter has a panic attack in the privacy of their bathroom.

They don’t know how much longer they can keep this up.

Leona x Reader (ft.vargas camp event)

Important information-  y/n is female but is pretending to be male.

Context- This happens in a timeline where when Yuu (aka y/n or mc) arrived to the NRC, since it was an all boys school, Crowley asked y/n to pretend to be male and keep it a secret.

 In Leona’s version, he found out when a teacher made him go check on y/n because “he” did’t show up in class.(Ruggie was too busy to go) When Leona arrived and knocked, since no one awnsered he just entered anyway lol. He saw a bunch of bandages on the floor and when he found y/n in a room, even if he saw y/n with unuasual long hair, he called and when y/n turned arround, Leona saw you were naked from waist up, with exemption of a bra....he was as shocked as he could be, and just turned arround and left. Y/n ran after him while dressing a shirt, explained the situation and he agreed to keep it a secret with a “What a pain I have gotten myself into” while rubbing his neck. (this happened after Jamil overblot and the two of you had a “I don’t mind his company ” relationship)

Now, with the story:

It was the end of the first day one and every club had just returned to the camp, exausted by the harduous day of challenges, ones more than others, since some didn’t even raise a finger. Y/n and Grim however were having their share of fun, they weren’t allowed to participate in the challanges, but recording such good memories with their friends was very fun.

  Y/n was reviewing the photos that were taken during the first day while Vargas was speaking with everyone. Just as you and grim were wondering where you two would sleep, professor Vargas came over and explained he was going to sleep in the Dawrfs hut and both of you would sleep in a tent next to it. 

....

Grim and you had just settled inside and were about to change to comfy clothes to sleep when you noticed the inside of your bandages were all sweaty, well that was to expect after such a day. After wiping the sweat you still felt the need to take a bath, most obviously you wouldn’t  ask vargas to take a bath in the hut due to certain circunstances.... You were thinking about what to do when you remembered there was a lake nearby, and it had a small and clean beach so it was secure...decided, you glanced one last time to check if Grim was asleep, picked a small bag with a spare of clothes and a small towel you brought, and left the tent.

.....

On the camp site Leona had just left to his tent, leaving Ruggie and the other members of the Magift club discussing who would stand watch and look after the fire. He was lying down trying to sleep when he felt a familliar scent. The noise outside was preventing him from sleeping, so he might as well just go check what the hell you were up to this time.

 He migh not admit it, but since the Octavinelle Incident, more specifically, since you had threatened him (when mc threatened making noise every morning outside of Leona’s room if he didn’t help them), he had grown an interest in you, and by now he really didn’t mind your company or when you showed up in the gardening house when he was napping, or even when you sat down next to him. Actually, it seemed that he slept better when you were there. But he would never admit this.

Leona quietly left the tent and went in the direction of the forest where he felt your scent. Leona had light feet and walking at night in the forest was almost as easy as it was during the day, so he reached you pretty quickly. 

You were walking steadly but slow, walking in a forest at night really wasen’t one of your skills, you almost tripped a few times. Of course Leona was nearby just watching the whole thing from behind with that smirk of his, he was even eating an apple, he was wondering how come you didn’t ear him. 

Well anyway, after a while he grew tired of seeing you strugle, and finally aproached you. He had just lightly touched your shoulder and calling you”Herbi-” but he couldn’t finish because you jumped from the sudden touch, screamed high enough to make Leona turn his ears backwards, and were about to trow a punch to whatever had just touched you when Leona caught your fist midair with ease. “Tsk, why so damn lound” he said while rubbing his temple with his free hand.

“Le-Leona?? Why are you here?” You had just finished your sentence when you saw his green eyes narrowing a bit, and it finally came to you you had tried to punch Leona Kingscholar. Your face went white in a matter of seconds, it’s not like you were afraid of him, you could say your relationship had reached the level of friendship more or less, but this was pushing the boundaries quite a bit!

 You quickly retreated your fist, who was still in Leona’s warm hand, and apologized “Ah-! I’m so sorry Leona!! It was a reflex!”.  Much to your surprise, Leona didn’t do anything and just crossed his arms “So? what are you doing at this time of night in a forest?”  

“Ah- I was.. heading to the lake...” you shifted your gaze to other side while scratching your cheek and smilling awkwardly. It’s not like you were lying to him, but you didn’t really want to say you were going to take a bath.  Leona concluded you probably had run out of water and didnt think more about it. You were thinking about what to say next, when Leona just started walking and passed by you. “Hmm, Leona? Where are you going?”you asked.

He didn’t even bother to turn arround and said “You are going to the lake right? hurry now or you will get left behind”. 

Uncounsciously you hurried to his side “You didn't ’t really have to come....”you said only hearing a “hmnn” coming from him. 

And maybe due to the shock you suffered a while ago or to the fact you were distracted by Leona’s presence, it still didn’t hit you that his presence migh make your task of taking a bath a tad more difficult. And when it did, you hurried to say “ Leona, you should really go back, I don’t want to take any more of your sleeping hours....” you really enjoyed his presence, but you really really hoped he went back.

“Now that we are already here its a bit late” He rubbed his head. He was right, you two had already reached the lake. You were taking in the beautiful scene of the lake and the moon reflecting on it when Leona spoke up “We don’t have all night” he was now leaned against some rock, and honestly he looked stunning in the moonlight with those emerald green eyes of his, but this was not the moment to be thinking about this!  You gave a few steps forward but stopped and looked at Leona “Could you..could you turn arround?” you shyly asked, your face with a light shade of red.

“Hm? What’s the problem of me staying here” he moved one of his hands to his hip and tilted his head a bit waiting for you to awnser.

 This time you couldn’t really look at him at all, you stiffened your shoulders a bit and finally said “I came to take a bath” In a voice so low Leona almost had trouble hearing it.

He looked a bit anoyed now “Ah?Then again what is the prob-” Leona stopped mid-sentence when it came to him. He had actually forgotten. He massaged his temple with his eyes closed and said ”I will be over there” and left to behind a strocture of rocks a bit farther away. 

You muttered a “Thank you...” and went towards the shore. 

There. you began by removing tha bandages arround your chest, and then the shirt you had used during the day whole day, you kept your pants since you just really needed to clean the sweat in your upper body. You emersed a towel in the water and when you finally felt the clean water of the lake in your skin, you let out a heavy sigh. 

On the other side was Leona, leaned against a rock, backwards to you. To anyone who saw him it would look he was sleeping, but he was actually dwelling on what had just happened. After he had found out and agreed to keep it to himself he did think about it for a while, but at that time you two were no more than aquaintances who meet a lot and sometimes went to classes together, so in the end, your situation had slipped to the back of his mind. He had a frown on his face but it wasent out of anoyance, but rather due to his own actions up until now. 

Leona was thinking about how the hell he had grown comfortable arround you recently when his eyes shot open by a splash sound and a high pitched scream coming from your direction. He got up and was ready to complain about the noise and about how come you fell in place with only sand ,when he heard that sound that had been perturbing his sleep the whole day. fairies. They were nothing to him, but you were a human, a non- magical one at that, so leona just made a tsch and prepared to dispose of them.

“Ah, what a pain” he said to the air while going to take them out. “Herbivore you stay.....”  

You were already dressed, but soaked from head to toe and with an unsetling expression Leona had never seen you doing, he would be making a smug face while mocking you if he warent too busy scaring that water fairy to death with his glare only. "Scram" he didn't scream, nor use an aggressive tone, but the way he said it had an imposing and superior aura.

And the fairy probably felt he would squeeze her to death next because she flew away in a blink of an eye. He was still making a mixed expression of anger and anoyance when he turned to you. “Thank you Leona, they came out of nowhere” You were trying to wipe away the water from your clothes , and only noticed Leona’s expression when you looked at him “Ah.” You looked troubled “Did I...did I perhaps wake you just now?” Anyone who spend more than 5 minutes with Leona would know how much he liked sleeping, and in your point of view, you were preventing him from sleep by having him acompany you to the lake.

Seeing your troubled expression made Leona get more at ease, and his brows weren't frowning anymore “Now it dosen’t matter, does it” he said while rubbing one of his ears.

 You were still doing your best to get most of the water off your clothes, but this didn’t go unnoticed by you “Have I hurt your ears too?” Your voice was now in its normal tune, sweeter, since now you didn’t need to pretend being male.

“Two times in a single night is too much, no?”He retreated his hand and returned it to his pocket. 

“The first time was your fault though....”You looked to the side and had a troubled smile on your face “But I apologize, sorry”.

 Leona analized your expression and half serious said “You don’t look so sorry however” he started rubbing his chin and curved a little to match more your height “What will you do to compensate me?”. With this statement you looked away and let out a troubled, very fake half laugh  “Ahahaha......”

Leona enjoyed seeing you troubled, more than he did the others, but in a good teasing way “*sigh*you should start thinking about drying yourself herbivore”. 

Oh don’t you say, It’s not as if you weren’t trying!!! “How come I didn’t think about that” you said while squezing your hair to get most of the water out of it. 

Now that Leona thought about it, this was the first time he saw you with long hair after that one day, and even if uncounsciously, he couldn’t bring himself to stop looking. “W- what? is it so weird I have long hair?” you had now cleaned most of the water off yourself, and Leona didn’t help one bit.

(Normally, you do your hair in a specific way so it looks short even though its long, i took that idea from Lucina from FE, i’ll drop a picture of how the hair is done at the end)

“What a problematic thing I have gotten myself into...” Despite seeming he was complaining about coming along with you to the lake, he was refering to spending time with you in general, somehow you were the kind of person who sooner or later would get involved in the most weird problems, and it seemed this time you had dragged him with you. 

However despite complaining, Leona had began enjoying your company for a while now. It had even reached the point that seeing you two napping side by side in the botanical garden was frequent. No one dared mentioning it though.

You noticed your bandages floating in the water "*Sigh....* it seems I cant use these anymore" you looked pitifully at the drenched bandages you picked up.

"Just use another shirt as a chest binder. If you hang it tightly enough it will have the same effect" Leona said as if this was the most normal situation in the world. 

You looked at him for a second "that is actually pretty smart you know" and proceded to do as he had suggested. After finishing and seeing how it looked you let out a pleased ‘hum’ sound and said “As expected of the great Leona!” you made a few moviments to see if it was comfortable and turned to him with both hands on your hips and a confident look  “So, how does it look??” 

Leona made an over exagerated expression as if the was thinking hard and made a “hmmm” sound for a long time just to keep you waiting. “Leonaaa!!” you cried, he intended to keep his teasing but after looking at your face again he noticed despite having a smile, you looked scared, afraid of something.

 No normal person would be able to see this, not even Deuce or Ace could, but after having you bugging him for so long, Leona had started getting more aware of things like this, so he stopped and let out a sigh of defeat. Honestly, only y/n to make leona give up his teasing.

“No one will notice” he said with a rare reassuring tone while tapping you on the shoulder. 

Hearing this, you let out the air you were unconsciously keeping on your chest. ”...thank you”. With that, you seemed more relieved, you really did trust Leona’s judgement huh. 

“Heh, if you are really that thankfull then next time you go to the botanic garden bring me food” Well, that seemed fair enough, you thought, but then a smug grin grew on his face “Actually no... that dosen’t seem enough to compensate my great effort.”

“Oh no...” you thought. At this point you could only prepare for what was to come. Leona could get tyranical at times with his requests, but he should have mercy on you......right?

After a dramatical pause, Leona continued “Next time my brother trows that furball of a nephew to me, you, my dear herbivore, will be so kind to take care of him for me”. What? That cute angelic cub? You saw no problem at all. At least on him you could release your hidden desires of petting lions ears. But looking at Leona, he really did look overjoyed he could get rid of Cheka next time he came visit. You couldn’t possibly ruin his moment by saying you would love to take care of his nephew, that would ruin part of his joy, so you just went along.

 You were going to start talking again when the wind blew strong, Leona had his super comfy looking camping coat, but you? In your still humid clothes it felt way colder than it actually was.

Meanwhile Leona had already went to pick up your bag ”Herbivore!” but as you turned to him, you saw only black ”Catch!”. You ‘eh’ed and expected your bag hitting you hard on the face, but next thing you knew, a fluffy warm feeling hovered over you.

After roaming arround with your hands you were able to take the ‘thing’ from your head, your hair was now a mess, but your eyes lit up when you saw that in your hands was Leona’s camping coat.

You probably spent a while looking at it, because Leona said “You gonna stay there eating my coat with your eyes, or you gonna return to the camp”. And when you looked at him again, he was already heading to the woods with your bag in hand.

“I’m going Leona, i’m going. wait for me!” you said while you hurried to his side and tried to put in the coat in a very sloppy way. You didn’t notice, but he was looking at the scene with a smug smirk. And by the time you had reached him, somehow, you managed to dress it wrongly.

“You know, I’m not an expert, but i’m pretty much sure that’s not how you dress a coat” He said while examining the way you had dressed it. “*sigh* come here”.

Leona then fixed the coat’s sleeve and helped you dressing it correctly while mumbling something about herbivores being too dependent.

------

You two were basically half way back to the camp, and you weren’t already there because you kept on misplacing your foot and almost falling, plus, the way back was upwards and it was dark. 

You had misplaced your food at least 30 times now, and in way too many of those, you had to grab Leona’s shirt so you wouldnt fall. And for someone who enjoyed their personal space, he didn’t seem to mind too much. 

You did try to avoid doing that as much as you could, but, just like now, you really had no other option if you wanted to avoid falling, so for the sake of your face staying off the ground, you grabed Leona’s shirt hem again.This time, with quite a lot of streight, and when you looked up, the first thing you saw was Leona’s ears turned backwards and he turning to you.

“Oi, don’t pull the hem of my clothes just because you have bad footing” (yet again I cannot decribe his expression properly, so I just drop an image of it, here) 

.(yes i edited it to match night time)

Tsk tsk, it’s not like you could help it! it was dark! and the ground was irregular as hell! and you didn’t have a tail or godamn cat eyes! And the coat was so big on you couldn’t even move properly your arms! And it even had his scent! 

Well, that last one wasen’t really aproblem, actually you were quite pleased with it, but you were running out of things to complain about!

This venting was only half hearted though, you were really comfy and warm due to the coat Leona lended you, plus it had his scent all over it, and even if it looked huge on you, it was quite the cute sight, and even Leona thought it, but that aint ever coming out of his mouth.

You were still trowing half hearted insults at the situation when a ‘oh’ sound came from him, and you uncounciously looked at him. Big mistake, since he had a ever so smug expression “Or perhaps....can it be that you are scared?” his smirk widened even more , if that was even possible, and he had a hand supporting his chin.

And this was it, you could almost feel a vein poping on your forehead “Who is scared??? you say that because you have good night vision and a fluffy tail to maintain your equilibrium!” you pounted and went pass trough him without caring anymore. 

It was very rarely you had these little outbursts, so Leona felt pround he was able to stir up one and was enjoying the situation the best way he could: with his eyebrows up, a smug smile, both hands on his hips and ready to tease you more.

You were still walking forward, and Leona was still talking, but all you could hear was ‘bla bla bla’ in your head. So when he stopped and said “wait, there’s a-

You were too late to realise there was a huge root in front of you, and triped over it, you quicly used your hands to protect your head and brace yourself for the impact.

That never came, because as we can expect, when you opened your eyes you were still mid fall, and there was an arm arround your stomach supporting you. “That’s why you should listen to me herbivore, why are you always giving me work” He said while massaging his temples, his arm still around you.

Now realizing how childish your small tantrum was, and how much of an help he had been, you were more composed “You didn’t need to catch me...” you said in low voice, now looking at the ground you would be in if not for him catching you.

“Ah? What crap are you saying now? after all the work I went trough, if you get full of dirt now it will all be for nothing” He looked a bit annoyed, but just like your insults earlier, it was half hearted.

And after lecturing you, Leona finally let go of you after assuring you were steady on the ground, “Let’s go now” he began walking again, only to stop moments after, for some reason his ears were a bit down ”Next time just grab my shirt again or something”. Despite looking uninterested, he was actually waiting for your reply, more specifically, you thanking him.

So he couldn’t help but look back when he heard you saying “Leona...” in such a sweet tone. Though what he was not expecting to see when he turned back, was a lock of your h/c hair stuck in a three branch. “My hair is stuck...”  you said with a voice of someone who still had a lot to lose, but needed help regardless.

Leona however, had the look of someone who was not paid enough to handle this, but it’s not like he could leave you there, so yet again while lecturing you on how herbivores should be careful, he helped you.

While he was, doing it more carefully than he would have with anyone else, trying to free your hair lock from the tree branch and telling you multiple times to stay still, you couldn’t help but wonder, a sad look now in your face.

“Hey Leona...” you began while facing the ground. Receiving a “Hah? what is it now?” from him. You were glad he was behing you, and you were facing the ground, because the look in your face was probably really pityfull. “Do you really not mind...?” You began stroking your hands with your thumb in a nervous way “you know, me being....” You really tried to finish the sentence, but Leona cut you off  “It’s not like it makes any difference is it? Why the question”

You thanked he couldn’t see you, or else he would have noticed your trembling hands. You valued a lot the bound you had with Leona, more than he could imagine. Ever since you arrived at NRC you felt you didn’t belong ,out of place, but when you were with him...that feeling disappeared.  You were really afraid this could affect your relationship, so hearing him say this, did reasure you a lot. “No particular reason, i was just asking haha-Ouch!” 

You felt a pitch in your head, but your hair was already free. “Next time don’t be this reckless” Leona scolded you. Did he just flick you.

“Did you just flick me”

“Got a problem with it? If possible I would like to reach my tent tonight” He was already walking again, just a bit slowler so you could easily reach him, and it was not like you could do anything againt him so while you massaged the spot, you just picked your pace and headed to the camp together.

----

You two had finally reached the camp, more specifically, Leona’s tent. “Oh, we are here...I should get going, thanks for coming with me” you gave him a small smile, and began walking away.

“Oi, aren’t you forgetting something?” You looked back to find Leona with his arms crossed looking at you. Only then came to your mind that you were still wearing his comfy outdoors coat. At the realization you quickly tooke it off and hand it to him, feeling a bit sad you could no longer feel his scent. “Here you go, then I will be off, good night Leona, see you tomorrow” you gave him another warm smile he so much apreciated and walked off again.

However, had you not walked 3 meters Leona spoke up again “Herbivore, come here” You wondered what could he want, so you turned to him again, and as soon as you did, he continued. “Sleep in my tent”. He had a calm expression and said it with the most normality ever, yet you were only able to let out a ‘eh?’ sound before he resumed. “It’s not like we haven’t slept together in the botanical garden before, and I doubt you are down to spend the night near that bastard. He dosent know, does he” On this last part he put a hand on his hip and gestured with the other, as if he knew he was right. Wich he was.

You instantanly knew the ‘bastard’ he was refering to, was your teacher, since he always adressed him that way. “Well...you are right...” That was the reason you had gone to the lake in the first place. 

But before you had the time to actually awnser his question he made a smug smirk and spoke again. ”Plus, won’t it be better to have the real thing instead of just my scent in a coat?” he said jokingly, yet again trying to styr up a reaction, but instead of doing that, you looked away a bit flustered. ‘Have I been caught?’ you thought while laughing nervously.

Seeing this, his eyes widened a bit and Leona’s own cheeks became a little red too and he hurried to say “Anyway, I’ll go sleep. Don’t make noise when you come in” And he headed inside, You hadn’t even agreed to his offer! But for some reason, you said “Wait, I’m going in too!”  And went in after him.

His tent could bear 2 people and still have plenty of space left, however, as expected there was only one cushion. And of course the great Leona wouldn’t give up on his sleeping place, and this was his tent after all, and since you didn’t want to impose yourself on his space, you just went to the corner and setled yourself on the bare ground of the tent.

Leona was busy setling himself to sleep, so he didn’t notice you doing this right away, but when he, did a small frown appeared on his face. “Oi Herbivore, do you really plan on sleeping on the ground? Hurry up and come over already” after saying this he moved a bit to the side as if to show you there was enough space for both of you in the cushion. 

Well, you were already inside and it was too late to back away, and it was defenitively better than sleeping on the ground, you just never thought he would give up on his personal space this much. Lately he did let you stay really close to him in the botanical garden, and there was this one time his tail was even touching you, but....was this really ok?? 

You knew Leona enjoyed his space so you were a bit nervous, but it went away as soon as you laid down on the comfy culshion and he turned to the other side while pulling the blanket to cover himself. “Finally some peace and quiet...” he said before going silent again.

You covered yourself as well, and even if you were a bit tense, as you looked at the top of the tent, and felt Leona-s warmth beside you, you slowly became drownsy “...hey Leona...?” there was no awnser but you went on anyway, probably due to the sleepiness taking over you. “I’m grad it was you who found out...” and finally, you fell asleep. 

If he heard you or not? Well, we will never really know.

*This could end here, but I decided there wasent enough bounding nor fluff*

It was now arround 2 or 3 am, and the night became colder, you weren’t awake, but it did bother you, so you moved a bit more towards the midle of the culshion trying to escape the cold, settling only when you met some warmth, a nice one at that.

-----------

Leona never had problems falling asleep, this time was no exeption, he had fallen asleep seconds after he had covered himself. But it was a bit hard not to wake up when something, or rather someone was snugling onto your back. Even though his eyes shot open the moment he felt you, he didn’t move or speak, since he could tell you were asleep by the sound of your breath. Well it really was cold, and he knew he was hot, (take this in the way you want XD)  so he couldn’t blame you.

Instead, he waited some minutes to assure you wouldn’t wake up, and then turned to you. You were peacefully sleeping turned to him, with your hands clutshed together in your chest and your h/l (hair lenght) h/c hair all messy. He had a hand supporting his head while looking at your peacefull sleeping image. 

During the times you fell asleep beside him in the botanical garden you looked nothing like this, at those times you looked more composed, as if you had a wall arround you, your hair looked way shorter too, but also...in none of those times you looked as vulerable and comfortable as now, it was like he couldn’t take his gaze away from you, greedly taking in all he never could. As a matter of fact, he even fell asleep like that.

-----

You were still asleep, but the morning rays of light began bathing the tent making the inside getting brighter and disturbing your sleep. Of course, as any person who was awake until lord knows how late, you shut your eyes tighter and tried your best to sink further in the blankets. Fortunately for you, you didn’t need to move much, since something was now sheltering you from the sunlight, and much to your pleasure, whatever it was, it was really warm too, wich made you cling onto it even more. 

After you began to regain a bit of counsciousness, you felt something heavy hovering over you, and your pillow felt a bit harder too...only after a while did you notice this wasen’t normal, and slowly opened your eyes, afraid of the morning light hurting them, but you only saw darkness, only after trying to understand the situation did you start feeling soft breathing on top of your head, and a familar scent came to your nose. You did try to pull away to see what was happening, but you only got pulled closer, now concious, you felt two arms tighttening arround you.

When you finally managed to join the pieces together, your face reddned at an incredible speed, and a “Leona..?” scaped your lips, realising what you had just done, you quicly covered your mouth with your hands, hoping he didn’t listen. However some seconds after, he made a low and deep growl, as he so many times did when you had to wake him for class, exept you had never been this close when he did it.

Honestly? From a 3rd person view, it it looked like a lion holding his prey, and it sure felt the same to you!. I mean, holy- the man was strong! you tried to get free from his grasp multiple times, but he didnt even flinch! You needed to get out of there, and fast, you were a blushing mess, and out of everyone, Leona was the last person you wanted to see you like this, he wouldn’t let you go without mocking you about it every hour .So when he began moving again you froze on the spot.

Leona began by closing his eyes thighter, as if trying to deny the morning sunlight. With his eyes still closed, he stretched his neck and afterwards tried to do the same with his arms, but seeing he was unable to, he opened his eyes with much relutancy only to see a Y/n under his grasp.  He was quite surprised at first, and if you weren’t so embarassed, you migh have noticed the small blush that appeared on Leona’s cheeks, but such a surprised expression was quickly replaced with his usual smugness. 

”Hmmmm....Look at what a small herbivore has been caught...” You felt his jade eyes sharply looking at you, but you refused to meet his gaze. “L-Leona I..I have to go” you said. Now that he was awake there was no need to be carefull, you simply got up, and tried to leave the tent. Seeing this, Leona quickly called you “Wait y/-” only to be interruped by a sharp pain and you triping and falling.

Despite being awake for just a short while, you were quick enough to use your arms so you wouldn’t fall face on. You and Leona let pain growls out, and looking at eachother afterwards, you noticed what made you fall. On your right leg, there was something wraped around your ankle.

You had now the most complicated expression you had in a while “......Is that....your tail?” you crouched down and looked at it closer “Did...did you really just wrap your tail arround my ankle?”  You thought of touching it, but he would get angry so you ignored your desire to do it. 

Leona was still rubbing his lower back, and only then did he look at you “Ha?What are you saying, of couse I didn’t” He had a small frown, but his voice didn’t have any ill intent.

“It is-” You didn’t even finish your sentence, Leona had already wnraped his tail. He semed to be somewhat sulking. This however made a sweet yet mischievous smile grow on your face. You thought he was just messing with you, but...he clearly hadn’t intended in getting his tail wrapped arround you. Did this mean..earlier when he had his arms around you, he really wanted you close?? 

Either way, you couldn’t let a flustered Leona scape so easily, it was your time to have fun. “Hmmmm... I wonder how did this tail get arround my ankle then...” you said while you sat on the couch and faked being thinking hard about it. ”Could it possibly be that the great Leona-san does actually enjoy my company?” you pointed at yourself while your eyes were closed and went closer while a smug smirk grew wider on your face. “..Ah! Will you purr for me nex-”. 

What happened now was too fast for you to say anything, but next time you knew, you were in Leona’s grasp again. “Shut up”. You were both laid on the couch again, but this time your back was on his chest, and he was hugging you closer from behind. ”You are anoying” he said in a low voice while he tried to get comfortable on the pillow, nudging his nose a little on your hair while doing it. 

So, this was so sudden you were no longer working at all, your eyes were wide open and “??????” was all that was in your mind for some good 6 whole seconds. Only then did you regain your rationality, and you had to admit, this was pretty soothing if you thought about it...having him embracing you, it really was comfortable...and his warm breath slowly hitting the back of your head... maybe...a little...”just a ...little... longer then...” and you drifted off to sleep once more. Leona who was already half asleep himself was only able to muster a  “...good” and clinging more to you, his tail rested now atop of you, he drifted off too.

---------

~6 minutes later~

*CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG*

“!????!!??” Your eyes shot open because of the lound noise, and afraid someone would come in, you tried to get up and leave as fast as you could. However, before even being able to sit, you were pushed back to the place you were before “Stay” Leona said with a sleepy voice, his eyes not open yet. 

“Leona..! wake up..!!” you cried while trying to move him.

*CLANG CLANG CLANG*

Hearing the call to wake everyone, you looked in the direction of the tent entrance. Meanwhile Leona let out a  small growl of protest while finally letting go of you and sitting on the couch “No one is going to some in” he finally said while massaging his temples because of the lound noise, his ears a bit turned back.

Hearing that did reasure you, and looking so relaxed as he did, it was hard not to believe him, though it was leona who we were talking about so....

You were looking at him with the helpless expression of someone who knows it’s a lost cause. Though as soon as he noticed you looking at him he said with the still narrowed eyes of someone who just woke up from a pleasant sleep and a grin growing by the day, his fangs now showing  “hmn, like what you see?”he said, stretching afterwards.

You just let a “mhum, right” and stood up “That one is getting old Leona”. Just as you had devoleped the habit of always going to the botanical garden to see him, recently, he too, had devoloped this tendency of showing off and praising himself everytime he woke up and you were there. So you were quite used to it by now.

You streached and picked up your bag, and noticing he was looking at you as well, and turning back to him “And you? Enjoyed having this ‘herbivore’ as an hostage?” you said jokingly. Leona, still laid down, with his hand supporting his head, smirking tenderly yet smugly at the same time ”If I remember correctly, the ‘herbivore’ entered the lion’s den by it’s own will”. 

Not having a way to argue back, you changed the subject “I really should get going now.” You said while quickly looking arround to check if you didn’t leave anything behind. And as you were going to exit, Leona grabed your wrist “For someone being so carefull the whole night, you sure can be reckless” He released your wrist and you looked at him with a confused expression, seeing this, he let out a sigh  “You sure you want to get out with your hair like that?”.

Your face went blank for a split second at the sudden realisation you had lost your hair elastics at the lake last night. What were you gonna do? Seeing this, Leona shook his head slowly as if asking himself why did it sometimes felt like he was babysitting you, and more importantly, why did he actually enjoy it. “Here” he said while taking off his own hair elastic and handing it to you. “I don’t have another one, but this should solve the problem until you reach your tent”

Receiving his hair elastic in your hands, your eyes were sparking with thankfullness. Quickly, but nimbly you did your hair in a similar way you always did. Finished, you swiftly left, but not one step later you turned to him again. You had an earnest look in your eyes “....Thank you Leona, for everything. Imean it” you finished with a small smile on you. Leona was going to say something along the lines ‘You should, I don’t usually put this much effort, I expect you to pay me back’ , but you went to him and did the impensable.

You were going to leave, but before you turned completely to the exit, you turned back to Leona again, and walking rapidly towards him, and without thinking twice, you hugged him. Despite being friendly with everyone, you had never done this before, nor to him, nor to anyone since you had arrived to the NRC (I’m sorry if you are a hugs person).

 Needless to say, even Leona was speechless during the whole thing, its not like just anyone could try to hug him, much less being allowed to, there was only Cheka, but that was a special case. 

 That being said, this was so unexpected that even when you let go of him, exited swiftly and without looking back, he still had his jade green eyes wide, only regaining his senses several seconds later. A deep blush formed on his cheeks, you had quite the audacity for a magicless herbivore who saw what he was capable of with his magic....though he dosen’t dislike it when you do it...

He thought just before leaving the tent for the morning meeting.

-E N D-

I can’t believe it took me so much time to finish a one shot... I wanted it to be small but it turned out with 5k words.... I can’t control myself haha...

anyway, I dont own Leona or any of the Twisted wonderland characters, only my oc, this is only  a fanfic therefore not canon.
