Heartslabyul

continuation of my other post cuz I have motivation now. Kinda changed ur personality a bit, URE a boss now

Continuation of this

Tw: stalking, yandere themes , mentions of blood, hate comments online, slight manipulation(?),

RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS

Before you properly formed a friendship with Yuu, you never interacted with him. Not that you wanted to anyway, he was too strict for you and it was clear you two wouldn't get along with each other.

Of course, you two sometimes caught glimpses of each other in the hallways and library, but neither you or Riddle were interested to chat.

You heard stories of him and his overblot, and you did feel slight sympathy for the man. After all, it wouldn't easy overblotting and dealing with the aftermath. You just hoped he'd recover and everything would go back to the normal and mundane school days like before. This was the farthest your nonexistent relationship with Riddle went.

As you and Yuu became closer though, you heard a few passing whispers on how Riddle became prone to lashing out at others more often. Something about Yuu not attending his tea parties again? Although he did make up for it by properly apologizing, it did cause the students of the Heartslabyul dorm to be cautious of him again.

It was a small break in between classes, and you just kinda wanted a few minutes of being by yourself. Absolutely nothing can compare to the comfort of solitude. You were holding a few books from the library, wanting to catch up more on Trein's history lesson.

You were enjoying the peace and quiet until—

"Don't you ever attempt to act this foolishly in my presence again! Off with your head!" The familiar redhead raised his magic pen and summoned a collar that chained itself around the necks of two students. He crossed his arms, "Maybe this will teach you how to behave as a proper human being, rather than some uncivilized bufoon-" He interrupted himself as he caught sight of your figure down the hall.

Noticing his distracted state, the two students scurried off. Riddle's gaze darkened immensely as he marched towards you. You were not sure if his anger was directed to you or someone else. Your head quickly whipped around if anyone else was the cause for his darkened stare. By the time you looked back at him, he was already right in front of you.

"Do you really assume that the Prefect actually holds the slightest bit of interest towards someone like you?" He spoke, tone dripping with malice.

"Excuse me..?"

"You don't even hold a candle to the Prefect, so don't even bother attempting to do any more damage than you already have done." As expected of the housewarden of Heartslabyul, always so stern and strict...

"Why are you speaking for them? It's clear that if the Prefect didn't want to form a friendship with me then they wouldn't have. You're acting as if I'm forcing them to be friends with me."

"Don't speak back to me." His anger flaring up once again. "I am in a much higher position than you are, and I command you to never speak or even be near to the Prefect ever again!"

Your gaze hardens the more he speaks, "Using your position to force someone to never speak to their friend again because someone can't contain their sensitive feelings? And I thought a Housewarden should know better than to abuse their power."

Riddle's face turned to shock as his voice was hitched in his throat, not finding the ability to speak. You took this as a sign to walk away, the power Riddle held was more than anything you could ever achieve. You were lucky he didn't immediately blow up on you.

~~

Riddle was stunned.

He wasn't used to anyone holding their ground against him. Of course, there were times that it did happen (ace—ahem) but this was different. The fact they didn't seem the slightest bit scared of him intrigued him. Their hardened gaze never faltered, and their words remained sharp and steady.

Huh.

Maybe the Prefect was on to something. He was starting to see the appeal. After his anger had cooled and he started going about his regular schedule , the image of you standing your ground against him just never left his mind.

He stalked observed you from afar and was able to see different parts of you that he wanted to explore. That day when you argued with him was only one side of you that you showed to him. Your playful side, serious side, quiet side, and so many more.

His preferences never left the Prefect, but somehow, your enigmatic personality draws him in.

Riddle describes you as a rose. The deep red petals mesmerizing his mind, reminding him of every single part of you that he has yet to explore. His hand would grip the stem tighter, the thorns prickling at his fair skin. The blood would stain his pristine white clothing, but he wouldn't care. If it meant that he gained more time to take in your hypnotizing beauty, then what was there to lose?

CATER DIAMOND

Cater always rubbed you the wrong way.

His smiles never reached his eyes, the boisterous personality he expresses definitely felt off. Everything he did just seemed like an attempt to cover up something.

You never approached him before you and Yuu became close, you doubt you would be able to keep up with his upbeat energy without exhausting yourself. You did, however, stalk his account sometimes when you just felt like it.

There was this one time that Yuu mentioned Cater asking for your Magicam username. You didn't think into it too much because it could've just been him being curious or just for the randomness.

That was until your Magicam account started getting bashed on for absolutely no reason did you start connecting the dots. You had only a few posts that were all from last year and the comments and replies were just hating on you intensely

You couldn't think of anyone else responsible other than Cater. The intervals between his posts were usually 1-2 days long but there was these two posts that had a week long interval. It could've just been a coincidence, but that week was the same week you've been getting all these hate comments.

To confirm your suspicions, you created a burn account and checked Cater's profile again. Safe to say, there were multiple posts containing fake information and unreal images of texts between your account and his. He must've just blocked you from seeing those posts, that must've been the reason why you weren't able to view those on your main account.

The notifications from the haters (as much as you hate to admit) got to you, even if you didnt do anything. The comments stung. You hadn't done any wrong so why did it hurt? This caused you to be more detached from social media, your view of it dimming by each hate comment.

You ultimately made the decision to delete your account, afraid that if you waited any longer and your personal information would get leaked. That and you planned to confront Cater. You normally wouldn't resort to confrontation, but you refused to take the disrespect. Plus, you'd doubt he'd stop without someone stepping up to him.

It was around lunch when you, grim and the prefect sat together. They had to leave for a few minutes for the bathroom. You silently scanned the cafeteria, checking for a familiar ginger male. You noticed him walking right past where you were sitting. Funny how he thought he had the audacity to ignore you when he started an online bash against you for existing.

"Do you think I wouldn't be able to find out?" You asked, back facing Cater as he froze in his steps.

He immediately turned around, that same fake grin plastered on his face like tape. "Oh, heya!" He waved his hand. "Uh.. Were you talking to me?" He questioned, a slight quiver in his eyebrow.

"You're the one who started that online hate train for me, right?" You turned your head to face him.

"W-what are you talking about?"

"Don't act stupid with me. You're much more conniving than you present yourself to be." You stood up, facing him fully.

Cater hesitated to speak, "Sorries! But I'm not sure what you're talking about! But hey, send me a dm if you wanna talk more. Gotta go, peace!" He made a peace sign with his hands, before making an attempt to flee the scene.

Although before he could exit, a loud slap ran loud through the cafeteria. Everyone's eyes immediately locked on the source of the sound.

Cater's eyes widened as his cheek suddenly stung with burning pain. He brought a hand to slowly cup his reddened cheek as his eyes locked on to your serious ones.

"Didn't you hear me? I said don't play stupid with me." He continued to stare. "I wasn't planning to make this dispute a big deal if you had just admitted to me you did it." You took a step closer to him.

"W-wha.."

You raised your hand, readying to slap him again harder.

"(Name)? Hey, what happened?" The prefect spoke, sensing the tense atmosphere. Your raised arm slowly lowered.

"Myah, why's everyone staring at us?" Grim asked as he casted a curious glance at everyone in the room.

With one last look you shot him, you exited the cafeteria immediately with Yuu running after you. Cater still stood there, quiet. His hand still cupping his stinging cheek. His ears ringing as it blocked out the whispers that spread through the space.

___

Cater sat on his bed, phone in hand as he tried to figure out what to post. A few students had already posted about what happened earlier during lunch. Sevens, this was bad... Each letter he type was deleted a few seconds later, and each idea he had was scrapped.

His focus wasn't completely on his screen though. It kept flickering towards... you. You humiliated him in front of many, and almost outed him for what he did online and yet...

He wasn't mad.. no, he was intrigued. At first, he was mad that the prefect slowly gained the confidence to refute his dates and selfie ideas when they started hanging out with you. He thought your influence was the reason his relationship with Yuu slowly fell apart, his insecurities flaring up and blaming you.

One of the main reasons he sent a hate train to bash account.

But ever since he saw you up close, how he wished Yuu could embody every single trait of yours that you held. So maybe then could they be more like you— identical even. But even then that wouldn't be enough. He always thought you were this reserved and quiet kid who would never stand up to anyone unless the situation really called for it.

That entire dispute at the cafeteria changed his whole perspective on you entirely.

Cater started taking selfies with you in the background, some people even thought you and Cater made up. The hate towards you slowly dissapeared, thanks to Cater.

It wasn't long before Cater eventually swayed the internet into thinking that you and him were dating off screen. The rumors started coming in rapidly, after all, Internet celeb Cater Diamond had a partner!

Though, everything was denied by you personally. With you posting a statement that what the internet made you two to be was just a giant misunderstanding, and that you and him were nothing more than just acquaintences. Unfortunately, Cater's voice in the social platform held more power than yours ever will.

As you turned off your phone to focus on walking back to your dorm, a camera shutter suddenly sounds.

TREY CLOVER

Trey was... ordinary you guess. Sure, he was a great vice-housewarden and an amazing baker but nothing about him struck you. Unlike the others, Trey was laid-back and relaxed and never involved himself unless the situation called for it.

So you were confused when Yuu confessed that Trey intimidated them the most in Heartslabyul. You didn't understand though, he seemed nice and you never sensed any strange or even creepy behaviour from him to Yuu.

Yuu was invited to another Unbirthday party by those two freshmen who hung around them constantly. Unfortunately, the prefect wasn't able to refute their persistance.

"I'll go with you." You offered.

"Huh..?" Yuu looked up at you.

"I said I'll go with you. You're uncomfortable going by yourself, right?"

They stared into your eyes for a few seconds, "You'd do that for me?" They muttered.

"Sure, we're friends after all."

With that, you forced (even if you offered) yourself to go to the party with Yuu. You couldn't just leave them by themselves especially when you know how they felt around those boys.

As you walked, you immediately avoided making your appearance known. You'd rather drip dead right there than maintain a civil conversation with Riddle and Cater. Yuu stuck beside you though, seemingly more attached to you than ever. Of course, it was inevitable that Riddle and Cater noticed you two.

You excused yourself for the bathroom after asking Yuu if they'd be fine. You wandered around Heartslabyul, you probably should've asked for directions.... But oh well. As you continued walking around the dorm, you stumbled on a cute kitchen. No one was inside it currently.

Interested, you explored the space. It seemed recently used; with bowls in the sink, the mixers still plugged in, and the oven warm. It was clearly for the party outside and the one who inhabited the kitchen was probably still outside. That means you were alone...

A creek from the door you entered alerted you,

"(Name)?" A familiar dark green haired male entered the kitchen.

"Trey? How'd you know my name?" You asked, not remembering talking to Trey or even telling him your name.

"And how'd you know mine?" A small smile formed in his face.

"Well, Yuu told me about you." You responded.

"Riddle and Cater told me about you too." You observed a slight wariness in him as he spoke. You wondered what Riddle and Cater made you out to be..

Not knowing how to continue the conversation, "So... you bake?" You asked.

"Yeah, I do. My family ran a bakery where I'm from so it's only natural I'd also learn to bake." He replied.

"Do you... do you want help in cleaning the place? It'd probably go faster if you have someone helping ya." You offered, feeling slightly bad that you were leaving Yuu by themselves even longer.

"Huh? You don't have to trouble yourself really. I made the mess and I should clean it up." Trey started moving towards the dirty dishes in the sink.

You moved in front of him to prevent him from getting any closer to the sink. "And I desperately need an excuse to not go back outside at the moment."

Trey appeared surprised for a moment, "You don't plan on moving anytime soon, are you?"

"Yeah." You responded blankly.

Trey smiled, "I guess it would be better with company."

You and Trey spent the next 20 minutes together cleaning the kitchen. It was peaceful, barely any chatter was involved between you two.

As you headed back to the party, you couldn't help but wonder why Trey intimidated Yuu the most. He was nice and a hard worker. Immediately after noticing your presence, Yuu jumped in your arms and kept blabbering about how they were glad you were safe and unharmed.

You're not sure if that's what started it, but Trey has lately been inviting you over to Heartslabyul for baking sessions. You've started enjoying his company even more, his sweet tarts are just a plus.

___

Trey didn't understand Cater and Riddle.

Riddle made you out to be this insolent and misbehaving buffoon that had no place in a prestigous college like NRC. He also did mutter how you should spend more time at Heartslabyul so that you'd be influenced by their traditions.

Cater complained about you. How you almost outed him and humiliated him in the cafeteria. But then he also whined complained about how you kept ignoring him in hallways and his dms!

So it was no surprise that he developed a slightly dimmed view of you as the two continued talking. But he always avoided making assumptions, so he didn't just regard you as a douche right off the bat.

Color him surprised when you turned out to be so nice. You offered to help him clean and initiated a conversation with ease.

Trey felt a sense of pride that the nice side you showed him wasn't being presented to Riddle or Cater. Feeling slightly special that he was able to be friendly with you unlike the aforementioned two. You were so friendly, how could you ever be the same insolent brat Riddle mentioned?

He started inviting you more often than normal, even expecting you to show up without telling you. He wanted— needed to see that soft side of yours. That addicting smile you sent him every time made all the gears in his head stop working.

C'mon, don't you like baking with him?

___

Yuu has been discouraging you to go though, but you've always brushed their warnings off. You convinced yourself that you could always see through someone's facade, no matter how well they conceal their true intentions. It worked on Cater, right?

But.. you find it harder and harder to refuse his invitations. His saddened expression, his disappointed "oh..", and his guilt tripping remarks.

You really should've listened to Yuu.

ACE & DEUCE (it's easier for me to write them tgt)

Ace and Deuce were annoyed how the prefect suddenly distanced themselves from them. They were even more irked when they realized it was because of another person. How can the prefect just abandon them like that? The two were practically the first friends they made here!

In response, the two ambushed the unwilling prefect at random times and dragged them away to hang out together. That was when they first met you.

You and Yuu we're sharing a small conversation between each other, just the two of you under the comforting shade of a tree. The serene atmosphere disturbed by the two goofs who approached you two unwanted and unannounced.

"Prefect, we've been looking for you!" Deuce exclaimed as he stopped right in front of you.

Ace came running behind him, panting. "You couldn't have waited a few seconds for me you jerk?" He remarked as he caught his breath.

Yuu looked at the two boys Infront of them, nervous and fidgety. "Oh.. Ace and Deuce, what are you guys doing here..?"

"Wellll..... Professor Crewel gave me a really complicated project to make up for that test I missed last week.." Ace explained while scratching his head, ultimately leaving out an important detail where he intentionally missed that test cause he knew Professor Crewel would give him an extra hard project to make up for it.

"He's basically asking you to help him! And plus, you haven't hung out with us all day, so maybe this can make up for it!" Deuce eagerly spoke.

Sevens, these two boys are so hopeless... You remember seeing Ace wandering the courtyard the day of Crewel's test, and only conveniently making an appearance after the test ended. They'd go that far just to have an excuse with the prefect. Have they even courted an actual person before?

"You've spent too much time with your friend already, don't ya think?" Ace stated, not asking, stating.

"You guys can always hang out another time, right?" The two were persistent, you'd give them that.

Yuu fiddle with the ends of their blazer, not sure if what they really wanted to say would appease them. "Well.. I'm not sure if-"

"I know you're free today~" Ace tried to play it off as a joke with a laugh, which in return, came out more menacing.

"Stop it." You intervened.

"Huh?"

"Eh?"

The two said in sync.

"The prefect has been feeling sick. I'd rather they avoid coming into contact with chemicals." You lied, hoping they'd buy it. Yuu turned to you in surprise.

"What? But Yuu has been fine the entire day?" Deuce confusedly said.

"You're lying." Ace furrowed his brows.

"I'm not." You replied.

"Okay, prove it." Ace's irritation becoming more palpable by the second.

"Just ask Yuu."

Then all the eyes turned to the prefect, two sides awaiting and wanting completely different answers. They hesitated, but spoke with sureness in their voice. "Yeah.. I've been feeling a bit down casted today. I just didn't want to make it obvious.."

You turned to face Ace again, "See?" The seemed to have hit Ace he wrong way when his fists visibly clenched.

"Then you have to go back to ramshackle and rest immediately! We'll escort you.." Deuce offered, a slight red tinting his cheeks at the last part of his offer.

Ace placed his facade on again, "Yeah! We'll even cook soup for you!"

Yuu's conflict to choose between either you or the two boys was growing by the second. Normally, they'd just go along with what everyone said. That's how they have always been. But that was also before you came into the picture. "I.."

"They're fine with me." You said.

"You can stop speaking for them, y'know." Ace crossed his arms.

"What do you think Yuu?" Deuce asked, still eagerly waiting for Yuu's answer.

But Yuu knew who they'd feel more safe with, "I'm fine with them. You really don't have to trouble yourself with-"

"It's really no problem! I can take care of you the entire time while youre sick!" Deuce invaded their personal space and held their hands in his.

Just as Ace was about to but in, you spoke.

"The two of you either must be blind or just ignorant." You slowly pushed Deuce off of Yuu. "Can't you see that they DON'T wanna go with you two? Seriously, is it really that hard to read the room?"

The two were quiet for a moment.

"Oh yeah? And who are you to be talking for them like you're doin' them a favor?" Ace's expression darkened visibly.

Deuce cracked his knuckles, "For all we know, you're probably the one who's forcing Yuu to stay with them!"

"Right! That must be the reason why they even started hanging out with you!" Ace accused.

"Or have you ever considered the idea that they actually like me?" You asked.

"Oh please, the prefect could never like someone like you!" Ace yelled.

"You're not showing us anything to like about you right now, so I doubt the prefect could hold a positive opinion for you!" Deuce continued.

"Why should I present someone any likeable qualities when I want them to hate me?" You said.

Just as Ace and Deuce were about to retort, another voice barged in.

"Bad and tardy pups. I expect the two of you in my classroom this instant." Professor Crewel stood behind the boys, who instantly turned from mad to shivering.

You sighed in relief as the two boys finally left, glad their suffocating and persisting presence finally exited. You turned to Yuu who seemed to be staring at you with... Admiration?

They quickly shook their head, snapping them out of their trance. "Thanks a lot.. Im not sure what I would've done without you."

"Don't mention it." You smiled at them.

___

Ace dreaded seeing you whenever you were with Yuu. You always gathered all their attention effortlessly, he used to be able to do that... That's why he hated you. Some part of his mind told him that the prefect got bored of him, so that's why he'll try to get them back!

He'd purposely catch you at times whenever you were with Yuu, so that he'd attempt to impress them by humiliating you. Except... He'd always leave as the defeated. He even tried punching you, but he missed when you dodged instantly.

This one-sided rivalry started an addiction.

He had this rush of adrenaline whenever he argued with you, and he chased after that sensation by the second. Ace wasn't even sure if this was even for Yuu anymore. He was lost in whatever spell you casted onto him that fateful day under the tree.

You made him taste something that ignited a spark within his soul, and he'll forever chase after it.

Deuce wasn't the same case... Well, kind've bit not exactly. He wanted the prefect's attention, how did he achieve that however? He stalked observed you. You were the sole reason the prefect started this sudden change of theirs. How you captivated the prefect in such a short amount of time confused him...

In other words, he was jealous. Jealous of how easily you handled him that day. Jealous of how you could fight back without losing your temper. Jealous of how easily you enamoured Yuu. That's why he'll simply observe you from afar and copy your techniques!

But then.. he started wondering how he could impress you as well... He invited the prefect over to his club to originally impress them with how fast he could run. But when he saw you sitting together with the prefect, he started running and running— Heck, the winds were probably struggling to catch up with him— until he reached the end. He beat his old record, but he didn't focus on that.

When he saw that bewildered look in your face, something in him obsessively started planning even more crazier stunts to have you captivated and jaw-hanging as you stared at him.

That's right... keep your attention on him and him only.

Could you create a headcanon for ‘Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ about what kind of fathers Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey would be? I find this idea fun. :3

Headcanon: Rise!Turtles being dads and sweetest husband to the reader (Separate) (Requested prompt)

A/N: I'm still uncomfortable with the idea of aging up the guys towards "mature content."

However, this idea was really cute. It only made sense for this prompt where the guys are aged up with some reference to their bad end!future selves. I went with around early 30's when the turtle of your choice and the reader are in a committed relationship and currently raising a kid at the moment.

So please have common sense and think before typing some snarky response with 'oh aged up content is bad lol' (Because I will put those ideas on the 'do not write list' if people get too weird about it...)

Raph

You know how he has the habit of that one baby voice with Mayhem. (and a bit of the hey buddy tone towards Mikey or Donnie)

- His kid is never gonna escape from it. (even by the time the kid is a grown up)

He definitely panicked for a bit when his kid (during the energetic toddler phase) enjoyed climbing over a big guy like him.

- So he had to ask Donnie to make a battle shell specifically as a soft cushion. So the spiky shell doesn't accidentally scratch the kid.

Part of him is worried anytime he has to scold his kid. And only when you're around is when he feels okay to do so.

- He definitely does the "Did you ask (Y/N) if you could have another cookie?" sort of question. (Sometimes willing to go along with what his kid wants or following (Y/N) if he got caught spoiling the kid)

You're getting at least one peck on the cheek by the end of the day.

- Or earlier in the day if he accidentally woke you up.

Compared to his younger self who slightly whined about chores, he grew to enjoy it when both of you worked on it together.

- Laundry being one example where you're usually folding clothing fresh from the dryer. And he stacks a pile back into the clean basket/hamper.

His eyesight in the right eye has gotten a bit worse. (not as bad as his bad end counterpart where he needs an eyepatch) But, you often act as his extra set of eyes and call out to any surprise attacks.

- Which earned the title of you two with a tag team couple and he still blushes thinking about it.

Leo

Every few hours before a night patrol, he always checks in to see what his kid is up to and often gives a hug before leaving.

Often gives bedtime stories through retellings of Lou Jitsu's movies or Jupiter Jim's comics.

- Even acting out of some of the scenes before a yawn decides its time to sleep.

Gave one of his spare bandana scarves to his kid.

- Had the biggest grin on his face when the kid realized "Oh hey! We're matching!!!"

Almost similar to the night patrol part, but if you can't make it because of work or some other boring life detour.

- Its a portal away for a light hang out sesh. For both of you to take a breather away from the grown up life.

Late night conversations are just a regular thing between the two of you.

- Especially when he couldn't sleep. By the time he almost dozes off to sleep in your arms, he still playfully teases you that your voice is soothing to him.

When light conversations about the bad end future was brought up during a casual match of video games, he was never used to the idea that he had a prosthetic arm.

- You instantly hugged his right arm, jokingly reassuring him.

"As long as you can crack a joke in the most serious moment. I'll still know that its you Leo."

"Even in a timeline where, me and the guys were raised by Draxum?"

You gave the red slider turtle a 'really?' pout before he hugged you into his lap.

"Nah I'm just kidding, but for real though. Draxum's former henchmen are still goofballs that know their way around the city. I'm pretty sure that Leo could get a couple of one liners and maybe from you as well."

Donnie

Almost went into a frenzy trying to child-proof the lair. (Especially the month before the kid's arrival changed the atmosphere) But eventually settled down.

- Realizing it would have stressed his kid out by any sudden new changes (and a bit of his family and your help explaining the reasoning as well)

Leo's showboating energy transferred to him but, in a way that, the softshell turtle is very grateful. That he has you as a spouse and both of you raising a kid along side his sentient inventions. And will try to bring it up in any conversation.

- The whole wallet photo gag of him showing family pictures. You love this silly turtle but, usually lightly pinch his face if its the wrong time for that.

He lights up whenever his kid goes to him for any sort of question.

- He slightly restrains himself to avoid going overboard with the answer. But, his kid is smart enough to know that and sometimes tells you that he's not being himself again.

Cannot force himself to sleep unless you're beside him. (or if you have to drag him to bed yourself)

- The few times where he woke up while you were still sleeping. He always gives you a light hug and a kiss on the forehead before getting out of bed.

He subtly took interest in one of your hobbies. (Either an ongoing or a new one) Just so he can step away from a tedious project that was going nowhere and not bother you with the boring details about it.

- Sometimes mentioning a fun fact to impress you.

You gave into his idea of letting your kid have a similar weapon like Casey Jr's.

- Only when they reached their 13th birthday and learning the basics of: constructing it and fixing parts along side their dad. How to use it defensively, offensively, and etc.

Mikey

Considering how his future self had some hair on his head, he kept it long so he can do a few matching embarrassing baby photos to his kid.

- Like giving the kid a tiny ponytail and etc. He definitely cried a bit while having his signature grin when the kid pulled too hard on his hair, laughing at one of his jokes. And you had to step in to help him.

He knows how to work around some of his kid's picky eating habits. Usually making sure his kid is having fun or decorating the plate in an artistic manner.

- However, there are times when the kid can hide the veggie or fruit out of plain sight. Or his kid asks his uncles for help when Mikey's focused on some other thing.

Absolutely does that peek-a-boo trick with hiding his face or whole body into his shell.

- He was nervous at first, if the trick might have scared his kid but, no the kid was giggling. Curiously crawling towards him in awe of it.

Will sometimes make meals ahead of time. (often being, if you returned from work, too exhausted to greet him)

- Either leaving a note on a plastic container in the fridge of: [(Y/N)'s breakfast: DO NOT EAT unless you want an surprise session with Dr Delicate Touch </3] (this also applies to lunch as well)

On very rare occasions, he will temporary wear a cloaking brooch. If you're at an area isn't very friendly towards mutants and/or yokai.

- The one time that happened, is when you forgot to bring your lunch at a job that barely lasted a week. (Stuff that was out of your control but, he was relieved that you got out of that place before your coworkers decided to physically fight back at the manager)

Spends at least one day in the week with you to do some light meditative exercises.

- On the really bad days, he doesn't mind letting you hold his hand as a stress ball or just have a quiet moment to relax while his brothers babysit your kid.

HOW TO BECOME A FIGHTER PILOT

So as you may or may not know, I am writing a fanfic. Unfortunately for me, I can never do things half way, and because aviation is my passion I must do hours of research on a particular subject that I probably won't even use or reference in said fanfic. Here is a guide for how our favorite characters (probably) became fighter pilots. If there are inaccuracies let me know, I want to know :)

United States Naval Academy

The USNA is an undergraduate college that is a combination of academics and military development programs. Students who want to go into Flight School could qualify with one of a variety of different majors, but there are particular majors that obviously may provide a bit of an advantage to aspiring pilots. The USNA currently offers a variety of different majors and minors, though there are fewer than you might expect from a typical university, and overall the degrees are more tailored towards the Navy. They encourage participation in athletics in the form of a Varsity or club/intramural sport(1). 

NOTE: Maverick likely attended a regular college and was a part of the Naval ROTC program at that school. He would have gotten his degree in a field relevant to aviation, likely Mechanical Engineering given his mechanical aptitude seen in Top Gun Maverick, and then attended the 13-week program called Officer Candidate School. To be honest, Maverick’s path within the Navy is a mess and impossible to follow but in the most straightforward scenario, he would go to flight school following Officer Candidate School.

Flight School 

Flight School is an approximately 2-year-long program that is required for Naval Aviators to earn their wings. Primarily located at the “Cradle of Naval Aviation” aka Pensacola, FL, flight school consists of many different phases that will divide students into different specializations. 

1. Naval Introductory Flight Evaluation (NIFE)

Divided into four phases, NIFE is a program that evaluates students’ aeronautical aptitude as well as screens them to ensure they’re capable of becoming aviators. Students may earn a “pink sheet” for any score below 80% or a failure of a task, requiring them to stand before a panel of instructors to explain why they failed and how they plan to improve. Too many pink sheets result in removal from the program(2).

1a. Water Survival Training Following medical clearance, students are taught and tested on their ability to swim while wearing flight gear as well as formerly instructed on various survival techniques and CPR(2).

1b. Academics  A 3-week phase where students take classes and exams in five subjects. It is condensed to test a student’s ability to retain information, learn new information in a high-stress environment, and challenge their self-discipline in regard to time management and other areas(2).

1c. Introductory Flight Screening (IFS) Students are entered into a 2-week-long modified civilian flight training program where one week is dedicated to ground school courses before they must conduct a series of flights in a Cessna using Navy flight procedures during the second week. Students had to memorize and prioritize information to complete the flights, specifically in regard to conducting pre-flight briefings and emergency procedures. Overall, they’ll conduct seven flights in which they are required to complete a set of standardized maneuvers(2). 

1d. Aviation Physiology A week-long training course that consists of emergency-specific training evolutions such as the hypoxia chamber, emergency first aid, and the “helo dunker.” The “helo dunker” (from what I understand) is a particular training device that consists of strapping a pilot into a cockpit-like or helicopter contraption within a pool and submerging the entire structure under the water, simulating an environment in which their aircraft has landed in the water and they need to escape from the seat(3). An image of this can be seen below(2).

The Top Gun cast had to undergo a similar training course in order to be allowed to fly in military airplanes for filming. A video of some of their training can be viewed below.

2b. Aviation Pre-Flight Indoctrination

A 6-week long program that marks the beginning of the aviation pipeline. Located in Pensacola, FL, students attend classes covering the basics of aerodynamics, weather in relation to aviation, air navigation, flight rules and regulations, and aircraft engines and systems (3). 

Prior to API, those interested in becoming Radar Intercept Officers (RIO) will have expressed their interest and requested a designation as a Naval Flight Officer (NFO). 

2c. Primary Flight Training

A 6-month-long program that teaches the students the basics of flying. There are two locations for Primary, one at Training Air Wing 5 at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Pensacola, FL, or Training Air Wing 4 at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi in Corpus Christi, TX. Both Naval Air Stations (NAS) are taught the same curriculum and fly the same aircraft, the T-6 Texan II. The students learn about the instruments, flight basics, radio instrument navigation, formation flying, and aerobatics, and also conduct several solo flights. At the end of Primary, students choose which pipeline they would like. This is conducted depending on the needs of the Navy and how many spots are available(3). 

Obviously, Iceman, Slider, Goose, Cougar, and everyone else got Jets, though they may not have gone through flight school at the same time. 

2d. Intermediate Flight Training

Intermediate Flight Training is a 27-week program. Split into five platforms; Jet, E2/C2, Helicopter, Maritime, and E-6 TACAMO. The jet platform flight training focuses more on navigation, air traffic control, individual skills, and cooperative skills of flying jets. The intermediate flight training program for jets is located at Meridian, MS (Training Air Wing One) at either VT-7 or VT-9, and Kingsville, TX (Training Air Wing Two) at either VT-21 or VT-22, both of which teach the same curriculum. Students in the jet platform will complete 58 graded flights in the T-45C Goshawk jet trainer aircraft(3). 

2e. Advanced Flight Training

Similar to Intermediate Flight Training, the program is split into five platforms but lasts 23 weeks. The students will probably have stayed with the same training squadron throughout the intermediate and advanced flight training. This stage includes learning skills specific to the chosen platform. The Advanced Flight Training program for jets is what’s called the Strike Syllabus. The Strike Syllabus includes an additional 67 graded flights in the T-45 covering air combat maneuvers, low-level navigation, tactical formation flying, and aircraft carrier qualifications. Students will then graduate from Advanced Flight Training with the Wings of Gold(3). 

3. Squadron Selection 

The final selection process assigns naval aviators to a particular squadron based on the needs of the service. Naval Aviators are assigned to a fleet replacement squadron or other similar training assignments for further training on their specific aircraft type. Here, RIOs and pilots must become qualified by gaining the required flight hours and meeting the proficiency standards necessary.

NOTE: It’s kind of hard to figure out when exactly the RIO training occurs. I know it takes place over the course of all the primary through advanced training occurs as well but I’m not sure if they have to attend seperate courses for it. 

TOPGUN

From there, pilots and RIOs may have been moved to their first official squadron for deployment. They would have been in their first squadron for approximately one and a half years, deploying with them. Their squadron would come back from a deployment and during the stand-down time before their next deployment, their commanding officer would select them to go to TOPGUN.

I finally posted this part omg

Octaniville should be out within a week if I'm not busy🫦 (that's a lie, signing of clearance is hell)

Warnings: unhealthy relationships (the boys do not love the reader for good reasons) manipulation, yandere themes, twisted devotion

Leona Kingscholar

Leona Kingscholar? Who? You didn't even know he attended NRC for a few months. The cause being that he almost never attended his classes and never made an appearance unless he was dragged into it. It was only a week before you properly became friends with Yuu did you see him in person.

He towered over Yuu threateningly, silently forcing them to go where he was going. He flashed anyone who dared come close a sinister gaze, a gaze that makes you feel like prey that was soon to be feasted on.

Initially, you learned to avoid him. Unlike Riddle and the others, it would take more than just a few sharp words to get him to leave Yuu alone.

Until it was Wednesday and Yuu has yet to make an appearance in Mr. Trein's class. It has been like this for over a week now and you can visibly see the dissapointment in Mr. Trein's eyes as he glances at Yuu's seat.

They've been missing a lot of material lately, and Mr. Trein just announced a quiz next week. Knowing that they had a lot of trouble with history especially, you made it your responsibility to get them back of track.

Luckily for you, you know who is the reason for their dissapearance.

Approaching the Botanical Gardens, you already see a tail poking out of the bushes. Unimpressed, you stomped on it intentionally.

Startled, Leona awoke instantly. "Shit— Did you do that?" He sternly glared at you, expecting you to start apologizing.

You could see Yuu, who was caged in his arms, breathe a sigh of relief as you made an appearance. Meanwhile you were just glad Leona didn't drool on them.

"Yeah? Now let Yuu go. A quiz's coming up next week and they need to study." You commanded, not submitting into his predatory glare.

"And what?" He sneered before sitting up and turning to Yuu. "Hey, you're a smart one, right? I'm sure you can just miss one quiz and make up for—" Leona let out a pained growl as you stomped harshly on his tail again. "What the fuck!"

Yuu was immediately pulled up from the ground and into your arms.

"What the hell do you think your doing?" He asked aggressively, his sharp canines becoming more apparent than ever. "You've got some real guts to stomp on my tail like that. Why don't we make it even?" The dark shadow over his face clearly implied a darker meaning.

"Awh, that's a shame. I thought I would be able to snap your tail off." You retorted, not relenting. Still, some small part of you felt nervous facing Leona.

"You barely scratched me."

"Based on your reaction, I'm pretty sure I did more than just a cute scratch. Hey, what if I do it again? Third time's a charm, right? Maybe it'll actually snap your tail—" You could barely dodge one of his spells as it lunged towards you.

You and Yuu groaned on the ground. You felt bad for just pulling them to the ground harshly, but atleast you two weren't hit.

"What... Did you just try to kill us?!" You exclaimed.

"Nothing serious, just to paralyze you for a few seconds." He snarked. Although his tone was calm, there was a slight edge to his voice that you didn't like. "Now, give me that little herbivore back and maybe I'll spare you."

"Nothing serious my ass! Come on, Yuu—" you made an attempt at leaving with Yuu but was blocked by a tall figure.

His towering silhouette made you step back a few steps, "You've got some snark I'll give you that, but I wasn't kidding when I said give me the herbivore back." His darkened gaze fell on you, daring you to disobey him.

You glanced at Yuu, and they did too. You turned back with an annoyed stare, "Fine. I'll leave you two alone." You could sense Yuu's nervousness as you spoke out your last syllable.

A small smirk forms on Leona's lips, "Hah. Glad to see I've tamed the feral beast." As he let down his guard, you instantly took Yuu's wrist and dashed out of the Botanical Gardens as fast as you could.

You and the prefect ran inside the school and hid behind a crowd of people, hoping it would cover your scent. You scanned the area before pulling Yuu behind a wall.

"You alright?" You asked, checking for any scratches or bruises they might've gotten.

"I'm fine.. Thanks a lot by the way." They said with a small tint of red on their cheeks but you didn't think much of it. "Why did you do that?"

"Hm?"

"Why did you willingly provoke Leona? He can get violent when he wants to, y'know.." Yuu said, rubbing their forearm.

"Well, it was to save you, of course." You responded truth fully. "And to remind you about Mr. Trein's quiz soon."

You could only chuckle fondly as the prefect groans.

____

Leona didn't like you.

In better words, he despised you.

Even at the very start when he heard of the new friend the prefect has been hanging around with lately. (In fact he hates anyone who dared come close to Yuu.)

He didn't like it at all when the prefect suddenly started made him start feeling like he was second place all over again. Constantly having the need to be better and work harder to gain any form of validation from that one person who he wishes could just look at him like he was irreplaceable.

Unfortunately, those pair of eyes that stare at him so lovingly are only just an illusion he creates in his mind.

He hated that. That part of him who yearns for validation never moved on, never grew up to be the man he is now. That part was still stuck as a child, a constant reminder of the never acknowledged second prince of the kingdom.

The prefect was the first to fully acknowledge this when he overblotted. Even if he gave a cold shoulder, he couldn't help but feel a small moment of bliss. A moment where he could forget all his burdens and just focus on the attention he received from the prefect.

Until you came along.

He has memorized the prefect's schedule to the exact second. He was planning to drag them to the Botanical Gardens. He expected them to be around the courtyard, walking to class. Instead, after 10 minutes of waiting, he finds you and Yuu studying in the library.

When he waits in the library, he suddenly spots you two hanging around in the courtyard.

Some twisted delusion in his mind made him think you were intentionally doing this to spite him, even if you two have yet to even meet at that time. Sevens, he didn't even meet you but he already WIDELY hates you.

Safe to say, you and Leona were on bad terms. You didn't like him and he probably despises you. His death glares whenever you walked past him with Yuu only confirmed that. A chilling glare that would make a regular student scurry away, but you refused to make yourself look small to him, it doesn't matter how terrified you were.

Leona isn't sure when he purposefully walks by you just to make eye contact and see your hardened gaze directed towards him.

Leona isn't sure why the only reason he ever gets up from the Botanical Gardens is to see you glaring at him intensely.

He unintentionally remembers your schedule within a week, bumping into you more often than you would like. Ruggie is stuck wondering why Leona isnt at the Gardens when he needs him.

"Ugh!" You fall to the ground harshly after bumping into someone, your research papers scattering. Yuu wasn't with you at this time, they were currently carrying out a task Crowley had assigned them with Grim.

"I'm sorry! Are you okay-" you immediately stopped yourself when you lifted your head, locking on a pair of emerald eyes you dread to see as you walk in the halls of NRC.

An amused glint flickered in his green eyes as he scanned over your figure and the scattered papers. "What a mess, beasty. Suppose you should start cleanin' up now. Why don't I lend you a helpful hand?" He reaches downwards to grab one of the papers, and examining the contents inside.

You snapped your hand forward to grab the loser back but he moved away last second, "I don't need your help-"

"Won't ya look at the effort you put in to this paper? Color me impressed." He mocked. Of course you had out effort into that paper, everything was hand written-

Rips

The sound of papper ripping made you watch Leona in horror as he tore up your research paper right in front of you with no shame in his face at all. He even had the nerve to show a form of enjoyment at your cost.

It didn't help that that paper was the paper with all the factual evidence you had researched. Having to redo it again and pass within an hour would result in a rushed and low quality text.

Seeing the pieces of paper float downwards, an ugly and hideous emotion started bubbling up within you.

'How can he just stand there looking smug?! How do people look up to this man?! Who cares if you're a prince! I hope you die, Leona Kingscholar!'

Leona had expected you to start an argument with him, the reaction he wants and expected, but instead he watches you just sit on the ground with your eyes fixed on the ripped pieces of paper.

A part of him feels bored that this is your reaction. What happened to the foul mouth of yours back in the garden?

That was until you slowly lift your head and send him a gaze full of hate, disgust, and detestment.

It wasn't the reaction he wanted.

But when you look at him like that, he feels fulfilled.

Leona finds himself looking forward to seeing your glares each day. He finds himself amused when he sees your expression instantly darken when you catch sight of him lurking near you. He doesn't care if you do actually despise him with your entire being.

Leona would be delighted to hear that he was your number one enemy. What a shocker, the only time he wins first place is on someone's enemy list. Your death glares are his trophies.

Your eyes were the complete opposite as to what he wanted to see from Yuu, eyes that would rot and decay before they would willingly hold love and care for him.

Your eyes held so much anger and hatred for him that he can't help but feel like he's the only person in the whole world when you stared at him like that.

For once, Leona feels like he finally won first place.

Ruggie Bucchi

You... Actually don't know where to start? Sure, he's a cunning pick pocketer and has an obsession with doughnuts. What more can you say? You actually see him as a close friend, which was a surprise considering his... Awful housewarden that he serves.

Yuu wanted to watch a Spelldrive match today, mentioning how she liked seeing the colorful spells bouncing back and forth. You, of course, had to go with them. Seeing as how Leona and his Spelldrive club would be competing, you didn't want Yuu anywhere near that lousy lion.

You, Yuu, and Grim were sitting down together until Yuu had said something about being hungry and you offered to get some for the three of you. The game was on pause, as the players were taking a 15 minute break.

As you walked towards the food stands, you notice a few dandelions on the grass beside you. The plant wasn't anything noteworthy, but it just happened to steal your attention for a few seconds before you immediately turned your gaze away.

You finished paying for the snacks. You weren't exactly sure what Yuu and Grim wanted. Ah... you should've asked.. Eventually, you settled on doughnuts. The treats weren't to expensive, and the doughnuts looked too good from the display window not to buy!

A shuffling near the dandelions from earlier alerted you. You turned, praying it wasn't Leona, and instead... Saw a boy chowing down on the dandelions...? To

His features seemed familiar to you, you think you've seen him before. You realized he was one the players from the game! ...And was also Leona's right-hand man...

Confusion overrides you. Aren't the teams provided with food already? And isn't this guy being pai by myd personally by Leona? You want to just walk away but it will lay heavy on your conscience.

Reluctantly, you approached him, tapping his shoulder for his attention.

"Excuse me." You said, gaining his attention.

He turned his head, still chewing on the dandelion. "Huh?"

"Uh.. You can have this." His eyes trailed down to what you were carrying in your extended hand. "I don't think eating dandelions is good for you if I'm being honest."

"Sure it is! Been doing it for awhile now and I feel fine." He responds, making you grow concerned.

You shake the bag in your hand, "Take this."

"Whats this? A gift for me? Syehehe!" He took the bag and opened it. He was surprised to see that it contained 3 doughnuts inside. "Ya sure you want to give this to me? Spending thaumarks to replace these doughnuts won't be cheap y'know."

"You sure you wanna keep talking? Your game starts any moment now." You replied.

He grinned before biting down on the doughnuts you gave him. You eventually walked away, trying to come up with an excuse on why you didn't bring any snacks.

"Heyy! Where's the food?" Grim asked impatiently.

You smiled, "The lines were too long. We'll just get food after the game."

"Ah, okay. The game was gonna start soon anyway." Yuu moved to give you more space.

As you waited, you noticed the countdown for the start of the games had only 15 seconds left. You observed the stadium, noticing the Spelldrive club from NRC looking around hurriedly. A running figure at the corner of your eye caught you attention. You recognized him as the individual who you gave your doughnuts to.

Safe to say, he performed exceptionally well! Not like you had anything to do with his performance but you still feel like you held some credit.

You scooted closer to Yuu, asking if they knew who the hyena-like boy was.

Ruggie Bucchi.

....

Ruggie had figured to repay their kindness. It wasn't something he did often, but he felt he owe them something atleast. He also disliked feeling indebted to someone.

As he searched for you, he held a bag of doughnuts. He would be lying if he said he wasnt dissapointed that these doughnuts weren't for him.

Ruggie heard a familiar voice sounding from behind a door, a voice he adored to hear.

"What do you plan to do after you graduate from NRC?"

He opened the door to see the prefect and the person from yesterday sitting across from each other on a table.

"I'll probably train my magic more. Then, I'll try to join organizations that focuses on helping people." They spoke, sinking back on their seat.

"That's admirable." Yuu said.

"What about you?"

The prefect looked unsure, "I don't have much options to begin with... But if I could choose, I'd travel the world and document my findings as an otherworldly person." They smiled. "I barely step a foot outside of NRC. I think a job like that would suit me!"

Huh.

Weird.

Nothing like his already planned future with the prefect.

The two of them were suppose to get married, move in together, and live happily ever after. He would work hard and come home to the prefect in his arms, safe and unharmed.

That's the perfect future he planned for the both of them. How would he be able to come home to the prefect if they're out traveling the world? How would he ever guarantee their safety if he isn't near them?

Of course. Their safety is only guaranteed in his arms.

"And maybe you could come with me too?" the prefect turned to the person across from them.

They sent a small smile to the Ramshackle prefect. "I'd love to."

...

You didn't receive any doughnuts that day, and had no clue you were even suppose to receive doughnuts.

....

Ruggie planned a complete future for him and the prefect. It was perfect, and he was already saving up for when they will hold their wedding.

How would he be able to form that perfect future if the prefect left him to explore the world with that... person? The prefect should stay at home, with him. Home is where they will be free from any impurity that will stain their image.

You... you will ruin that. You will ruin everything. He orchestrated this future by the millisecond, but your influence will inspire them to do things that does not align with his idea of a perfect future.

__

You don't know why but Ruggie has been approaching you a lot as of late, and it was always when you were headed to hang out with Yuu. He always appears at the right time to drag you away and lead you somewhere else far from Yuu.

You didn't think much about it first. After all, he was easy to talk to, make jokes with, and overall friendly... Until he overdid it.

On days when you really wanted to see Yuu, you're constantly dragged away from him. Of course, there were times you refuted and explained you had to see the prefect for something important. Ruggie would agree to go get Yuu for you, but he always came back to you saying that the prefect wasn't at the spot you two planned.

On times you were able to see Yuu and inquire, they said that you took too long and they would end up leaving.

You'd make a better attempt at refuting Ruggie's attempts at dragging you away, but somehow... your body never seemed to agree with you. You try to turn and walk away from him, but your body forces you to walk besides Ruggie. The movements between you two were completely synchronized.

This has to be his UM, right? But how do you bring that up without seeming like an assumer? When you feel like you've gain control of your body again, you can hear Ruggie whisper something before you lose control once again.

You're forced to sit beside Ruggie on the grass while internally worrying for Yuu's safety. He starts talking and talking and you have no choice but to listen attentively.

Before you knew it, you and Ruggie have started meeting up more often than not. The relationship between you two deepening by the second, but you still only saw him as a close buddy. You find yourself enjoying and laughing at his jokes. This new side of Ruggie that you see wasn't like his usual playful and conniving self. He was sincere and even gentle.

On one of those meetups, you're easily pulled into a conversation about the future and whatnot. Unlike your conversation with Yuu, you actually went deeper about your plans.

Ruggie shared his own plans too, and you were surprised at how simple it was. He just wanted to be eternally together with his spouse. It's sweet, but you can't imagine being constantly around the same person at all times of day and night. When you shared that part, you notice a darkened shadow casted on his features before disappearing immediately as if you just imagined it.

...

Being constantly around the same person is tiring and repetitive? Aren't you the one who's always around the prefect?!

Don't you know how tiring it is maintaining a facade? He's sick of it! Sincere and gentle? That's nothing like him. At first he only did these meetups to force you and the prefect apart for as long as he could, but now Ruggie feels as if that plan backfired.

When did he start going to the meetups for you solely?

When did he start wishing the meetups could last all day?

Why does he feel a pang of hurt when you say you only see him as a close friend instead of your future eternal spouse?

Oh well... it's not like you even have a choice.

Ruggie has felt his carefully sculpted future with Yuu contort ever since you came into the picture. He feels as if the home he plans to live in with his beloved would suit you better. So what if you dislike being around the same person constantly? You'll just have to get used to it.

Yuu could travel the world at all times and he'd just let them be. The only thing he wants is you now after all! Syehehehe!

Jack Howl

Yuu's bodyguard.

It all started when you had to leave for the bathroom for a few minutes. When you came out, you noticed a group of students surrounding Yuu. Worry filled you as you came closer to the scene, hoping Yuu wasn't being harmed. Someone seemed to be Infront of the prefect, like they were protecting them... Is that Jack?

He scared the students away easily, and you immediately ran to Yuu for an explanation. That was until Jack blocked your way, when you were just mere meters away from the prefect.

"Do not come any closer." He commanded.

"Excuse me, I need to ask-" You tried pushing him out of the way with your arms, but it was no use with his physique.

"I said don't come any closer. Didn't you hear me the first time?" He repeated more assertively.

"Jack, they're my friend! You don't need to do that.." With Yuu's words, Jack reluctantly stepped aside. His piercing glare wasn't left unnoticed though.

You didn't waste your time on him, "Yuu, what happened earlier? Are you okay?" You patted your hands around the different parts of their body, checking for any signs of injury.

"I'm fine thanks to Jack. Those students just went up to me randomly and started bothering me... I'm not hurt though if you're still concerned."

You only sighed in response, "I hope youre telling the truth."

The prefect turned to Jack, "Thanks again, Jack. I'm not sure what I would've done, especially since Grim isn't here with me today..."

You noticed how Jack's tail started wagging at the sound of them thanking him. Talk about subtly, huh?

"Let's go now, (Name)!" Yuu said, gesturing you to follow them.

Yuu walked ahead, with you trailing behind. You stopped in your tracks right after you passed Jack.

"By the way, don't think I didnt notice your glare earlier." You said, loud and clear for him to hear. Without waiting for a response, you sped up to catch up with Yuu, who was unaware of what happened.

You definitely did not make a good first impression, but hey, what's new?

__

Ever since that encounter with you, Jack has made sure to keep you away from the prefect at all times he is near.

Jack's admiration for the prefect began when they planned how to stop and expose Leona from continuing his scheme. The prefect's highlighted intelligence and bravery enamoured Jack, and that started his little crush.

That "crush" spiraled into something deeper and twisted as Yuu started interacting with more and more people because of their heroic adventures. Jealously bubbled in him as the prefect started seeing him less and less.

Jack's idea of the prefect was someone of purity and untainted. He feared the prefect would stray away from that idea as more people start influencing them and "staining" their purity. That's when Jack started feeling the need to protect the prefect from everything that will ruin them.

The most influential person he feared would completely corrupt the prefect was you.

You were everything he didnt want in Yuu, so he made sure you were never getting near the prefect on his watch.

__

Jack has been appearing a lot more recently.

You found his appearances suspicious.. you dared say that it was convenient.

You were heading somewhere to meet up with Yuu when you bumped into Jack along the way. Remembering your last encounter, you tried to not stall the meeting. Savanaclaw wasn't really known for being welcoming and such.

"Where are you going?" Jack asks, arms crossed with a neutral expression on his face.

"I'm going to see Yuu." You replied, hoping that that would be the end of your conversation.

"Did they tell you? Crowley assigned them another task in his office. They're not free right now." He responds bluntly.

"What? They didn't mention anything about that.."

"That's what they said when I bumped into them a few minutes ago." He says, walking towards the direction you came from.

You can't bring yourself to trust Jack so easily, but he seems believable. He did just come from the direction you were originally headed. Plus, why would Jack lie about this? He appears like a serious guy, and doesn't really seem like he'd do those types of things without a reason or a plan behind it.

But he does have a plan, and you were unknowingly going along with it perfectly when you turned and left to go back to your dorm.

Awhile later, you received a text from Yuu.

Yuu: Sorry if I wasn't at there !! Crowley js gave me a task randomly and left :(

You: nah dw

You: Jack told me everything

Yuu: He did??

You: yeah while I was going to you, I bumped into him and he told me you were busy

Yuu: how did jack know Abt my task?

You: he said he bumped into you a few minutes b4 he bumped into me

Yuu: I never bumped into Jack earlier

Yuu: Crowley gave me a task and left and I just went with Grim to do the work so it wouldn't pile up

...

Jack lied and he didn't at the same time?

That's odd... why would he go out of his way to lie even if it resulted in the same outcome? It definitely wasn't necessary, but it also wasn't so perplexing that you'd start brainstorming ideas on why Jack lied.

In the end, it ended with you mindlessly texting Yuu for the next hour before sleeping comfortably on your sheets.

The following day, you were walking towards Ramshackle to walk with the prefect. Until a familiar beastman came into your sights. You didn't think the two of you had any reason to converse so you tried walking past him.

"Are you going to the prefect again?" He asks, back facing your back.

You turn your head to look behind you, "Yeah, I am."

"The prefect is sick so don't bother." He replies before walking away to the main building of NRC.

Sick? They did not seem sick last night!

Unfortunately, as much as you wanted to run towards Ramshackle and check up on their wellbeing, clock was ticking and a test was awaiting.

You eventually and reluctantly decided to walk back to class. If Jack was lying, then you'd prove that by seeing if the prefect was in class.

You scanned the room over and over but to no avail. It really does seem like Yuu had fallen I'll, was Crowley's task too intense? You figured to take care of them when classes were dismissed.

__

Jack internally celebrated the smooth flow of his plan. He was able to effectively separate the two of you naturally. If he kept this up, the relationship between you two would crumble soon enough.

Then, you'd never ever have the chance to taint the prefect's purity with your filth.

The prefect is only safe under his protection afterall. Who else would willingly drive away the wicked who wish to corrupt an angel?

Jack wishes that one day the prefect will recognize his efforts in maintaining their perfect being and express their gratitude. Maybe then he'd allow himself to embrace their warmth, to let his uncontaminated self freely bask in the serenity of their presence.

And when he allows himself the pleasure to do so, will he truly be happy.

(What a hypocrite. He dreads seeing unworthy people interact with the prefect, but wishes he could do the same without feeling guilty of tainting them.)

Class was dismissed and you were headed to Ramshackle, until you a familiar voice interjects, making you top in your tracks.

"Are you visiting the prefect?" Jack crossed his arms, his expression was still as stern as ever.

"Yeah, I'm gonna check up on them." You answer. You were slowly growing suspicious of Jack. Why does he keep asking about your whereabouts?

"You shouldn't. Grim told me the prefect wasn't in the mood to be in anyone's presence, including Grim." Jack explained, quickly shutting down your plans of visiting Ramshackle.

You thought about it for a moment before leaving. As much as you worried about Yuu, you knew they had their intense moments of stress. Times like those were much better comforted with solitude rather than company.

You planned to visit the next after class when... Jack conveniently told you something that shit down your plans instantly. And again, and again, before you knew it, it was already the end of the week!

You were becoming insanely anxious about Yuu's health, and Jack was no help at all! Honestly, why do you even just go along with his words anyway? It was so unlike you! The pit in your stomach worsens when the prefect has yet to message you for almost a week.

As soon as class was officially dismissed, you made a bee line towards Ramshackle and you swore nothing will stop you.

A familiar white headed man was in your path as usual, but you weren't going to leave now unlike before. "You're going to see the-"

"No! Just shut up!" You snapped, immediately causing Jack to shut his mouth.

His brows arched, seemingly agitated. "What was that for?"

"I need to go to Ramshackle!"

"You do know it's pointless? I already said it many times before. The prefect does not want to be in the company of anyone else-"

"And I don't care! They may not want to be in the company of anyone else, but they need someone to take care of them!" You locked eyes with him. "You are not stopping me this time!" You retorted, jogging away from him and towards the wooden building in the distance.

Jack stood there, stunned. He guesses his plan wasn't as perfected as he assumed it to be.

But it wasn't just that that left him stunned, it was that desperate look in your eyes when your pupils locked. The look of complete desperation and distress.

Maybe he saw himself in you. The pulsing urge to find out whether the prefect was okay or not. That's how he always felt whenever an overblot occurs and Yuu always happens to be involved. Distress fills Jack as he searches for Yuu in the aftermath of the disaster, only to see people crowding the prefect.

In truth, Jack barely interacted with the prefect. As their popularity skyrocketed, the prefect started becoming more and more like an untouchable deity in his eyes. No one was worthy of their presence, some were just lucky to be chosen as a close companion.

When he saw that look of desperation in your eyes, he thought you looked utterly pathetic.. The prefect was only sick for a week and you were getting so worked up over it. You were lucky to be chosen as a close companion, but you still weren't worthy of ever being near the prefect in his eyes.

Seeing you in that state made him realize something.

Perhaps somewhere deep in Jack's twisted devotion, he knew his desperate yearnings for the prefect was of no use. And he deluded himself into thinking you didn't feel good enough for the prefect as well.

Tainted and desperate just like him.

Jack felt afraid to come close to the prefect because he might've stained their being. But he didn't feel that with you. He didn't feel the need to suppress himself near you.

Like him, you were stained. You both weren't worthy of the perfect deity, but you two also weren't dirt filthy like the rest.

Perhaps only the two of you could make a perfect pair.
