#Kalim Al Asiam

[twstgabrielle]

Kalim.

His name was Kalim Al-Asiam. He was the eldest son of his father and mother, and an heir to his family's home and riches. He had several younger brothers and sisters and he was the head of the Scarabia dormitory. He was eighteen years old and he got along with many of his classmates and had many friends.

At least that's what everyone told him.

Kalim if asked personally would admit that he didn't remember a lot of these things. Just bits and pieces that slowly started to make somewhat sense after the incident. From what the infirmary staff had told him he'd apparently had been in an accident during one of his classes. A spell that backfired horribly and he was the one who got the backlash. He didn't remember it but from what he learned it was pretty bad. And at the moment there didn't seem to be any counter spell to reverse the effects, so the young man was forced to flounder in this strange new world. It was unsettling at times especially when he'd first started out. For example shortly after the incident a young man had visited him and claimed to know him. Yet Kalim had no clue who he was. The young heir could still remember his expression, the shock and disbelief as he tried to get him to remember.

'It's me...! Jamil Viper your.....your friend....'

He had looked so broken and desperate when he said that. As if Kalim's answer was the only thing that kept him from completely breaking down. It'd made him uncomfortable and he'd answered honestly telling him that he didn't recognize the man, or rather Jamil. The look of devastation followed by a blank expression reminded him of curtains that tried to hide something valuable, had scared Kalim a bit. An aching feeling in his chest at that expression.

'He shouldn't have such a look, this isn't right.'

That phantom thought made him quickly apologize and offer to help him find the person he was looking for despite being uncomfortable and uneasy. However Jamil had quickly shut him down robotically and quickly went out of his reach and disappeared from view. It'd been a month since he'd spoken to the fellow Scarabia student, only catching glimpses of him from afar or during the dormitory meetings. During that time Kalim began to ask around about Jamil, curious about the quiet yet mysterious man. And each time he was given the same answer. That he and Jamil were childhood friends and they knew each other. It was confusing to say the least especially given how Jamil avoided him after their encounter. Of course Kalim tried to talk to Jamil, to try and figure out what they were but the man would dodge his efforts making it somewhat difficult to speak to him.

At this point Kalim was honestly considering giving up on his pursuits. It was quite obvious that Jamil didn't want to speak to him, that he didn't want to figure things out and try to become friends again despite his magical amnesia. With each failed attempt Kalim grew more and more hopeless and for some strange reason he felt as if he was being rejected in some way. And the thought hurt, it hurt more than it should have given that Kalim didn't remember Jamil at all. It shouldn't bother him that Jamil wasn't wanting to speak to him, it shouldn't hurt him to the point where it felt like someone had taken a dagger to his heart.

But it did.

Great seven it hurt him so much it nearly drove him to tears. And he didn't even know why. If they were friends then it should hurt but not to this extent. Not to this extent where he felt like his heart was breaking with each denial from Jamil. It confused him and just made him even more desperate to get some answers. Yet he had a feeling that he'd never get them.

'It's better to just let it go before I screw myself up more. I have more important things to worry about than all of this.'

He'd tell himself but for some reason he couldn't let it go. He couldn't stop trying to seek Jamil out despite wanting to give up. For a month he'd been in this cycle so it was no surprise when it finally came to a head in the most explosive way imaginable.

~~~~~

The day was like any other day. Kalim got up and dressed and got his dormitory up and moving. The young heir knocked on doors, waking up their occupants before heading towards the kitchen to get some things out for them to eat. He'd just gotten to the doorway when he caught sight of the one person who'd been making him a mess since all of this started. Jamil stood by the counter, his long black hair braided up and his arms covered in flour as he cooked breakfast. The bright dessert sun shore into the kitchen making him look stunning. Dark grey eyes were focused on their task and Kalim felt his breath catch at the sight. Jamil Viper was beautiful, the sight of him made Kalim's heart race and his palms sweat.

'Why......why am I reacting like this.....?'

He questioned himself bewildered by his reaction to Jamil when the two of them rarely spoke. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice that Jamil had stopped what he was doing.

"Breakfast will be ready shortly. You don't need to be in here."

Jamil said startling Kalim from his thoughts. Kalim looked up at him and flinched slightly at the dead stare Jamil gave him. Harsh grey hues stared into his ruby red ones coldly, completely closed off.

'Please don't look at me like that......don't look at me like that so coldly and unreachable.....'

Kalim felt his throat tighten at the harsh stare and took a shaky breath.

"Of course I'll just leave. I'm sorry for disturbing your work."

Kalim said somewhat choked before he quickly made his way out of the kitchen. Unaware of the grey eyes that watched his departure in surprise and agony. After the incident in the kitchen it became apparent that the day was only going to get worse. Kalim soon found himself being either glared at or watched by Jamil, his expression unreadable and cold. With each look he received it felt as if he was being stabbed with an ungodly amount of pain and misery. The entire day continued like this until it finally exploded. Kalim and the other Scarabia students had just retired for the night yet Kalim couldn't go to sleep. His mind racing and trying to understand what he could have possibly done wrong to deserve such harsh looks from Jamil.

'Was it because of his lost memories? Is Jamil so ashamed of him that the thought of even speaking to him makes him react harshly?'

Kalim flinched at the terrible thought and bit back the sudden urge to cry. It was tearing him apart, the thought of Jamil being ashamed of him. He didn't know Jamil, he was barely even friends with him but it was killing him. It was killing him being kept in the dark and to be treated so coldly. The young heir suddenly felt like his room was too crowded, the urge to leave consuming him and before he could even process his next move he was already leaving his room. Kalim walked through the hallway, his eyes stinging with unshed tears as he made his way outside. The cold night air hit his skin as soon as he stepped outside, the moon and stars shining brightly off of the buildings and sand. Kalim paid no heed to the sight as he walked away from the dormitory and towards the fountain. It was secluded enough for him to breathe in peace.

It didn't take long for him to get to his destination, the decorated piece of stone standing tall and proud in the moonlight. Spouting water into its little pond. Kalim came to a stop his eyes now overflowing with tears and his chest tight as he broke down sobbing. It wasn't fair, how he had to struggle with this. It wasn't fair that a man he barely knew made him hurt in this way. Kalim sat down by the stone pond pulling his knees to his chest and buried his head in them to smother his sobs. The young man sat there for a long time just crying and trying to figure things out, unaware of the world around him. Until he heard footsteps rushing towards him.

"Kalim?! Kalim where are you?!?"

A voice called out making Kalim stiffened and his heart stop. The voice was one he'd heard however not in this tone. A tone that held worry and fear for him. Kalim's head snapped up as the footsteps came to the fountain and stopped in front of him. There standing in front of him under the pale moonlight was Jamil Viper. The very man he'd been crying over. The other mage saw him and his tears and without thinking about it collapsed onto his knees and pulled the heir into a fierce hug. Kalim stiffened in shock and confusion at the sudden contact.

"Thank the Seven you're alright....! I'd.....I'd thought the worst when you weren't in your room..!"

Jamil said his tone shaking slightly. Kalim sat there dumbfounded. Never had he ever heard such relief and concern in Jamil's voice. All he'd ever heard from him was cold detachment and this new side of him made Kalim even more confused and to his surprise angry. Kalim didn't hesitate to push Jamil away from him, his body shaking with his emotions and confusion.

"How.....how dare you.....? How dare you say you were worried about me when you've been nothing but distant."

Kalim said his tone watery and filled with anger and tears. Jamil flinched at his tone his expression surprised and full of guilt.

"Kalim...."

He began to say but the usually happy man cut him off.

"No you don't just get to....to treat me so coldly for the past month and then do.....do this to me....! You can't just.....just leave me confused and hurting and lost and then act like you care!"

Kalim exploded as all the things that had been building up since the incident came to a head. Jamil stared stunned by Kalim's anger unable to process anything and floundering to say something however he was shut down by Kalim once again.

"For a month I've been lost and confused and I've been trying desperately to talk to you! Even though it's obvious you don't care I tried to reach out and you.....you were so cold towards me! And what confuses me the most is even though I don't remember you it still hurts to be rejected by you time and time again! You have no right to do this to me-!"

Kalim snarled in a painful sob as he finally got out what he'd been feeling. Jamil was speechless and before he could even get a word in to defend himself Kalim pushed him away even more and got up from the ground. Wiping away his tears of anger, confusion and hurt Kalim gave Jamil a heartbroken glare.

"Just.....just leave me alone Jamil Viper. I don't.....I don't want to see you right now."

He said softly his voice brittle and broken. Kalim then turned his back to Jamil and made his way back to the dormitory leaving Jamil behind him and his broken heart with him.

*Stares at my hands. What have I done omfg. So uh I'd decided to kinda make a sequel to my first work involving this pairing and I was planning on making it happier but then I got my writing started and I ended up with this monster and to be honest I'm an awful person please forgive me I only seem to hurt my boys jfc. Anyways I don't know if I'll continue this but if I do I'll make things better than all this angst I swear. A little bit of context for y'all, Kalim basically only remembers bits and pieces of things due to a spell mishap. While he doesn't remember Jamil his heart remembers him, it's why he's so confused and hurt all the time shegdgegd. Anyways if any y'all read this I hope you enjoyed it!!*

[misteria247]

Me: "I wonder why I had started to ship Kalim and Jamil?"

Me sees the newest updates on the game and sees them interacting, standing by one another when they don't need to and somewhat bickering, basically just being super cute.

Me: ".....ah that's why."

[twstgabrielle]

"I'm sorry but do I know you.....?"

Who could have imagined that one little sentence could completely ruin someone's entire life. Certainly not Jamil, that is until he'd heard it. It was a sentence he never would have thought he'd ever hear. Especially not from him of all people.

Not from Kalim.

"Do you know me...??? Yes you do! We grew up together! We're in the same dormitory! We've literally known each other since we were small children!"

Jamil said not really able to process what he was hearing. Especially from someone who he'd hated as much as adored. The person in question meanwhile just flinched at the tone Jamil used, looking slightly uneasy.

"I-I'm sorry but I honestly don't know who you are........"

Kalim said sounding on edge. It struck Jamil in a way he'd never felt before. In all of his years serving the Al-Asiam family he'd never felt this kind of pain. Not even when he'd been poisoned when he was a small boy. The pain he felt at that moment was shocking to say the least.

"Kalim please......you have to remember me......it's me Jamil Viper. Your.....your friend......"

Jamil said trying not to get too upset. All the dark haired man received was a blank stare of confusion. Kalim honestly didn't recognize him, there was nothing in his gaze to hint that he remembered who he was. And it damn well nearly broke Jamil right there and then.

'Please don't do this......'

The young man couldn't handle it. The ugly truth that was now looking at him.

'Kalim please look at me....! Remember me please......!'

It wasn't fair. It was a sick, cruel joke. Only something like this would happen to Jamil Viper. He'd had just started to get along with Kalim again. He'd just started to build that friendship even if hesitantly at the beginning. He'd just started to finally close that gap that had been between them since they were children. He'd finally started to get somewhere with Kalim.....perhaps somewhere more than he ever foreseen happening.

"Look uh......Jamil right? I'm really sorry, but I think I'd remember someone like you and I can't recall ever seeing you in my life......maybe you've mistakened me for someone else.....? Anyways I could try to help you find him....."

Kalim said his bright red eyes giving him a concerned and slightly uneasy look. It hurt seeing Kalim look at him like that. Looking at him like he was a complete stranger. Like being around Jamil made him feel uncomfortable. Never had Kalim ever looked at him like that. Not even when Jamil had betrayed him a few years ago and Overblotted, Kalim had never shown him any kind of look of being uneasy or uncomfortable around him. Just smiles and laughter and understanding. Jamil would kill to see Kalim smile at him. It was suddenly too much and he had to leave. Expression going carefully blank, he stepped back, refusing to let his emotions show.

"No it's fine. I'm sorry for bothering you, my mistake. I just remembered I have some things to do, if you'll excuse me."

Jamil said sounding almost robotic like. Kalim went to reach out to him but Jamil already left, speedwalking away from the boy who didn't remember him.

~~~~~

Jamil didn't pay attention to where he was walking. All he knew was that he needed to get away before he completely lost it. Stepping out into the scorching desert sun, Jamil made his way towards the fountain, barely keeping track of his surroundings. Fellow Scarabia students moved out of his way, sensing that something had upset the vice dorm leader. When he had finally managed to get to the fountain that was far enough away from prying eyes Jamil broke down. With a loud curse he grabbed a nearby rock and flung it as hard as he could hitting the side of the fountain and leaving an ugly mark on its spout. But he didn't care, no at that moment a mark on the fountain was the least of his worries.

With an overbearing emotional pain hitting him Jamil Viper for the first time in a long time had finally broken down. He screamed curses and threw things. He cursed everything and he cursed his luck. By the time he'd finished his voice was hoarse from screaming, his fingers bleeding from tearing up rocks from the ground and throwing them and his eyes stung brutally.

'I lost him......I lost Kalim......'

The thought was so damning it nearly crushed him. It was almost funny how he was reacting to Kalim losing his memories of him. Had this happened a few years ago, back when Jamil had actively hated Kalim to the point where he had Overblotted and nearly killed him for his freedom, he would have been overjoyed by Kalim's missing memories. It would have meant that Jamil could finally be free, that he could finally step out from Kalim's shadow and finally shine for once. But he wasn't that person anymore. No after the Overblot occurred, him and Kalim had come to an understanding of sorts. Kalim had granted Jamil his freedom, despite the near death experience. The young heir had stepped down from the spotlight and let Jamil have his chance to shine all while cheering him on much to Jamil's annoyance and surprise.

They were finally equals, Kalim and Jamil became rivals of sorts. Competing for things, yet never too harshly. And with this new understanding came a mending of their broken friendship. Slowly but surely Jamil and Kalim's friendship patched itself back together, now with Jamil being more open about the things that bothered him and Kalim being more observant and self sufficient. They grew closer than they had been before, having actual genuine moments with one another and enjoying each other's company. Though Jamil still acted as if he didn't care for Kalim it could have been further from the truth. Their friendship became something that Jamil treasured. He began to look forward to spending time with Kalim, to the point where he'd started noticing things about him.

Like the way his silver white hair shined in the sun, making it look like he was surrounded by a halo. Or how Kalim's laughter was contagious, bringing a strange warmth to Jamil's chest when he heard the heir laughing. Or how Kalim's eyes looked like precious red jewels in the Scarabia dorms treasury, sparkling with happiness and kindness. Or how Kalim's smile seemed to shine brighter than the sun, how his hand would feel warm in Kalim's. It was the little things that Jamil began to notice, little things that he found himself looking at secretly. Little things that had slowly started to make Jamil feel things.

Things that he shouldn't feel for someone like Kalim.

If the teen was being completely honest with himself, he knew deep down that despite his denials of it, that he'd fallen in love with Kalim. Somewhere along the line of rebuilding their friendship and trust in one another and getting to know one another better he'd fallen hard for the man who was technically his master until he became the head of his family. Jamil couldn't help but think back to only last week when he'd crossed the line with Kalim. When he'd in a way let him know of his feelings. Jamil could still feel it, the way the smaller man's lips felt against his. He could see it, the surprised look on his face before Kalim's eyes had slipped shut and he had kissed him back. That moment was the moment that Jamil realized that what he felt was mutual. They never said anything to one another after that night, however there was something there after that night. Touches that lasted too long, silent conversations shared through gazes, a thick tension building between them with each tender moment or touch.

'And now it's gone......he's gone.......'

Jamil's heart broke in a sharp way as the reality hit him. That Kalim would never remember that night, would never remember all the things they'd been through. He'd never remember the good times or the bad times they shared. Kalim would never remember him. Would never remember the feelings they'd shared. All of it was gone and there was nothing Jamil could do about. He'd lost Kalim, he never got to say those words to him. He never got to kiss him one last time. To Kalim, Jamil was nothing more than a confused stranger. A person that he never knew and it was the most painful thing Jamil had ever felt.

Fate was a cruel, cruel mistress.

*Ya know I have no excuse for this. I just wanted Jamil x Kalim and I went and began to write and now I'm suffering ahhhhhhh-! Look I love them but they're just so perfect for angsty stuff like god damn. Anyways if any y'all read this I hope you enjoyed it!!!*

Favorite Twst Characters that I personally like because why not? I'm bored:

While I enjoy all the characters there are quite a few who hold a soft spot in my soul and who I literally fawn over like an absolute moron. (Not including the main group of dumbassess that we've all grown to love and adore known as Ace, Deuce, Jack, Epel and Sebek).

Riddle Rosehearts: Okay so this character had become number one baby from the moment I saw him and saw his past. He speaks to me on a certain level and to be blunt I'd die for this angry, angry little boy and I'd do it in a heartbeat. Riddle deserves all the love don't even @ me. And plus when Riddle does that adorable little smile laugh thing when he's happy it makes me wanna hug him and squish his cheeks.

Trey Clover: This dude right here, is an absolute mom friend. He bakes cakes and watches out for his younger dorm members and helps Riddle out when he needs it. He's honestly a pretty cool dude and I love him a lot.

Leona Kingscholar: Okay bare with me. I like Leona a lot because he's an absolute mood. Taking naps and just wanting to be left alone in general to just do his own thing is literally the adult mood in one dude and I honestly vibe with that. Not to mention when he interacts with his nephew and looks like he's bothered and is actually clearly caring for the young boy it makes me go awhhhhh.

Ruggie Bucchi: This boy right here, he's a prankster and a little shit and by default I love characters who are both of those qualities. Not to mention that he's a pretty hard worker when he wants to be and being broke as a joke is very relatable.

Azul Ashengrotto: Okay Azul, the major big guy who is like living in my head rent free. Azul is a character that I relate to quite a lot, to a point where learning his backstory lowkey made me a bit uncomfortable sgdgdgdgg. As someone who's been in his shoes at one point I understand why he's the way he is which makes his character growth even better when it happens.

Jade Leech: Other than for obvious reasons why he's a favorite SebastianMichaelis I find his personality to be quite interesting considering how he's usually deathly calm and it makes me lowkey wonder what he'd look like if he went completely apeshit. That and dorks who grow little gardens and talk about mushrooms makes me old heart soft.

Floyd Leech: The reason I like Floyd? Dude's got that crazy vibe to him. Floyd Leech is literally a bottle of chaotic energy and I adore characters who have that. Not to mention I also find his personality interesting, the way he acts like he's not paying attention when he actually is and is incredibly smart is honestly incredible to watch.

Kalim Al-Asiam: Sunshine child is literally the baby boy who owns my heart. This beautiful little shit could literally just breathe and I'd be fawning over him like a proud mom showing off her newborn. That and the fact that he's still a pretty good friend despite all the bullshit he went through with his best friend made me lowkey respect him. And seeing him grow to become a better friend and person is honestly goals.

Vil Schoenheit: He's beauty, he's grace, he's a hard working man who's extremely hard on himself and pushes himself to the point where he should of had at least one breakdown from stress. Okay Vil is a big favorite of mine because he's a really hard working dude who basically says fuck gender roles, men can be beautiful too and honestly he's earned mad respect from me just for that. Not to mention the mom friend vibes he gives off they're just *chief's kiss*.

Idia Shroud: As someone who's a socially anxious mess myself I feel this dude on a spiritual level. He's awkward and a nerd and has no idea what the hell he's doing when he interacts with others and if that ain't a big fat mood. Idia is just that one dude that I adore because he's a sassy dork and he's a mess of a human being.

Lilia Vanrouge: Big dad vibes with this man. I love this mischievous bastard, he's honestly one of the best. The way he plays tricks on others just because he's board is honestly hilarious and seeing him being the unofficial dad of the group of his dormitory is what waters my crops and feeds my soul.

Malleus Draconia: And finally, the man of the hour, the one who's also living in my head rent free, Malleus. This fae is one of my favorites, mainly because despite the whole polite imitating vibes he gives off, he's actually a huge ass dork who likes gargoyles and ice cream and hanging out in an abandoned places. That and him being lowkey somewhat lonely is relatable and I honestly feel it deep in my soul.

And there you have it, my completely unnecessary post about my favorites from Twisted Wonderland. I just wanted to rambling for a bit because I'm bored and I was thinking about my boys and I ended up with this post. I regret nothing and I apologize in advance for rambling mindless all over your dashboards.

Jamil: "Someone's going to die."

Kalim: "Of fun!"

[twstgabrielle]

It had started off simple enough.

Just a few sniffles here and there, nothing to be too concerned about. Then you had started to sneeze which you didn't pay much attention to. After all the seasons were changing so it wasn't unusual that your nose would act up somewhat. Then you started to cough. Like the kind of coughing that made you sound like you were dying. Added with a sore throat and a massive headache it became quite clear that maybe this was more than what you originally thought. That perhaps you may have gotten a nasty cold.

But you would never admit it.

Oh hell no. You were a strong, independent person with a ton of responsibilities to do like taking care of your friends and Grimm or keeping an eye on the other dorms in case something like God forbid an Overblot occurred. You couldn't afford getting sick. So like the stubborn person you were, you continued your everyday life, getting sicker and sicker. And of course your friends began to grow concerned, especially your roommate Grimm.

"Hey minion! You sound awful! You're not dying are you???"

The feline yowled into your ear, making your headache worse. You reached within yourself for patience to deal with Grimm. While you loved him to death sometimes you really just wanted to shake him. Just a little.

"I'm fine. Now quit shouting please you're too loud-"

You'd begun to say only to start coughing and wheezing, your hand covering your mouth. Grimm flinched at the noise. You sounded horrible, what with the froggy sounding voice, sneezing and hacking. It was obvious that you weren't okay but given that Grimm had never dealt with something like this it was difficult for him to figure out how to help you other than being his usual self.

"Maybe you should stay in the dorm today."

Grimm suggested trying not to let his concerns show through. The look he received from you was not a nice one. Filled with irritation that only someone who was sick and stubborn would show.

"Grimm. I'm fine. I don't have the time to stay in Ramshackle and miss school. So let's just get our things and go."

You crocked putting an end to it. Grimm looked at you, ears flickering nervously before letting it go. The small monster knew he couldn't argue with you on this, so he decided to keep an eye on you. After all if you went down then he couldn't become the greatest mage to ever live. That and he may or may not care about you. But he wouldn't tell you that. Gathering your things the two of you headed out to get to class, the chilly autumn air hitting you full force and making you shiver. Tugging your coat tighter around you and making sure Grimm was secured within said coat, you locked up Ramshackle and went to class.

~~~~~

Ace Trappola was not the most observant person in the world. He preferred to stay in his own business and not get into things that would make his life harder then it needed to be. Which was ironic given that he was friends with you and the others who just like him were magnets for trouble. However today while he was waiting for you and Grimm to show up with the others he quickly took notice that something was off about you when you had finally gotten to them. Your eyes were somewhat glassy and unfocused, your cheeks red and your breathing seemed whistley. Your hair was a mess somewhat almost as if you were too tired to bother with it and you kinda moved like a zombie. The red head was instantly alert, and it seemed like he wasn't the only one who noticed the changes in you as the rest of the group went quiet.

"(Y/N).....! Are you alright??? You look awful!"

Deuce said instantly concerned about you. Jack stared at you in an imitating mother like manner while Epel and Sebek just looked at you baffled and concerned.

"(Y/N) you're face is all red, are you alright?"

Epel asked already reaching out to touch your face to make sure you were alright.

"Human you look horrid!"

Sebek said in a shout, making you flinch at his tone. Jack moved closer and just like Epel touched your face.

"You're burning up."

He stated his amber eyes sharp. Epel let out a small gasp when he felt your cheeks as well.

"He's right! You're burning up! Why are you out here???"

Epel asked sounding like a scolding mother. It reminded Ace of Vil scarily enough. Reddish brown eyes met your (E/C) ones.

"You're sick. You should be laying down, not wandering around in the cold. Grimm why didn't you stop them?"

Ace asked annoyed somewhat. Grimm seemed to huff and was about to snap at Ace when you'd finally seemed to snap out of your sickly stupor and glare at the group annoyed.

"I'm here because I'm fine and Grimm is not my parent so he can't tell me what to do. Now if y'all are done crowding me and making so much noise then we should be heading to class. You know Professor Trein hates it when we're late."

You snapped somewhat. Your friends quickly backed off slightly startled by your irritation and your voice. You sounded like a choking frog due to coughing so much and your runny nose. Before any of them could stop you, you were already pushing your way through them to head to class. But as you went to move faster than you were, you quickly grew dizzy and began to stumble forward. You would have hit the ground if Deuce didn't step in and grab you.

"(Y/N)!"

Your friends called your name in surprise and concern. You felt like the world was spinning and your head was pounding harshly. You were so out of it that you didn't even notice that you were being picked up by Jack to had taken you from Deuce.

"That's enough you're going to the infirmary. Ace, Deuce go to Professor Trein and let him know that (Y/N) and Grimm won't be in class today due to being sick. Epel, Sebek go on ahead and let the nurse know that (Y/N) is coming to the infirmary. I'll be right behind you as soon as I got their things and them situated."

Jack said. He got various acknowledgements from each of them before they went off to go do what was asked of them. You weakly tried to push Jack away from you but obviously it didn't work. The wolf picked you up bridal style, your bag with your school on his shoulder. Grimm was slightly panicking, not used to things like this.

"Are they going to be okay??? They're......they're not dying right.....?"

Grimm asked, the question he'd asked you this morning becoming an actual concern. What if you were dying? Humans, especially magic less ones were quite fragile he'd come to learn while living with you. And the last thing he wanted was to lose you. You were his family if he was being completely honest. Jack gave Grimm a look, his ears flickering slightly.

"They'll be okay. They just have a cold. We just need to get them to the nurse so they can rest and get better."

He said in what he hoped was a reassuring tone. Grimm seemed to take it and he sagged a bit in relief however he still glanced at you nervously. Jack began to make his way towards the infirmary, keeping a tight grip on you. You on the other hand just laid your head on his chest, coughing harshly and snuggling into him for warmth.

"You really are an idiot sometimes...."

Jack mumbled as he jogged towards the infirmary where you could hopefully get better.

~~~~~

The infirmary was filled with a few students when Epel and Sebek burst through the doors startling them. The nurse turned towards the disturbance, ready to chew someone out when she saw the two boys.

"Our friend....! They're really sick and we need help....!"

Epel wheezed trying to catch his breath. Sebek just nodded, ready to fight for a bed space should he have to. He wasn't above it, not when his friend was in need. The nurse was quick to respond.

"Alright I'll get a bed ready for them. You two go sit down and I'll bring you some water."

The nurse responded before hurrying off to do her tasks. It was only a few minutes later when Jack came in with you and Grimm. Epel and Sebek looked up to see if you were okay when the nurse came back in and quickly ushered the trio to one of the open beds.

"Lay them down here, and then go wait by the desk. I'll take a look at your friend."

She said shooing them out once you were placed on the bed. The three boys sat down slightly on edge by everything. While they maybe overeating somewhat they couldn't help it. You'd been sick for a good while and seeing you trip over your own feet due to a dizzy spell and hearing you literally hack up your lungs had not helped the situation at all. Shortly after they'd sat down to wait Ace and Deuce came into the infirmary, looking breathless like they'd ran all the way.

"Professor Trein says that (Y/N) and Grimm are excused. How are they?"

Deuce asked as he sat down next to Epel. Ace plopped down next to Sebek, running a hand through his messy reddish brown hair.

"We were just told to sit here and wait. The nurse is checking them over now."

Epel replied quietly as to not disturb the other students in the infirmary. Deuce nodded leaning back into his chair. The group of five sat there silently, catching their breath and waiting for the nurse. After what had felt like forever when in reality it was only a few minutes the nurse finally came back out.

"Well your friend has caught a nasty, nasty cold. I'm guessing that due to the autumn air, possibly stress from working so much and a few other things made them get sick. The best thing to do is to let them rest and take some cold medicine. Otherwise your friend is fine."

The nurse said with a smile. The boys sagged with relief glad it was nothing serious.

"We'll make sure they do."

Deuce said determined. The nurse smiled again before going to check on the other students in the infirmary. The group made a silent agreement then. They'd make sure that you got better and did as you were told until you finally became well again. You were their companion after all and you'd helped them out more times than they could count. The lest they could do was help you out as well.

~~~~~

When the boys had finally gotten you back to your dorm with the medicine the nurse gave to them, it was no surprise that the news of you being sick made its way around the school. You were pretty famous after all what with the Overblots and whatnot.

"Ahhh (Y/N) really is a reckless thing aren't they?"

Cater said, somewhat concerned. Trey gave a nod of agreement while Riddle silently fumed at your reckless behavior.

"It doesn't surprise me. (Y/N) is always working hard and never really took breaks. It's a miracle it took them this long to catch a cold."

Trey responded looking through his cookbook.

"Honestly, you'd think that the Prefect would know better. Great Seven they gave Ace and Deuce quite a scare."

Riddle said remembering how the duo had bursted into Professor Trein's classroom that morning and told him what had happened.

"Yeah they really did. But at least it's nice to know that they care about the Prefect under all their attitude."

Cater said with a smile. Trey smiled as well somewhat proud of the freshmen. Riddle just nodded in agreement.

"When they come back we should have them bring them some soup. Once I find the recipe we'll send a bowl of it with Ace and Deuce."

Trey said flipping through his cookbook some more. Riddle looked over his vice dorm leader's shoulder, looking slightly interested while Cater smiled a sudden beaming smile.

"I can take pictures of the soup and post them to my page. Plus I think (Y/N) will get a kick out of Riddle in the kitchen helping us out."

Cater teased. Riddle sputtered going slightly red in embarrassment while Trey silently laughed.

Rook watched as Vil looked at a few pieces of clothing, his amethyst hues staring at the clothing critically. The dorm leader was looking for a warm sweater that was about your size. After hearing that you'd gotten sick Vil had been rather quick in going into his famous mom mode as you'd dubbed it. The hunter made his way towards his companion, green eyes amused at how dedicated Vil was to finding you the perfect sweater.

"Any luck Roi du Poison?"

Rook asked curiously.

"Not really. I'm trying to figure out if this one will work best for (Y/N). The sweater they own is rather worn out, and it's getting colder. They really are mindless about these things, it's no wonder they'd gotten ill."

Vil said in a somewhat irritated manner. However Rook knew that under Vil's irritation was legitimate concern for you. You were always trying to help out everyone yet you always seemed to neglect yourself. So hearing that you'd gotten sick had made many of those who knew you personally grow concerned.

"Ah-ha. Found it."

Vil said grabbing a thick, fluffy sweater from the pile. It was a light lavender color and was somewhat big, with a soft kind of fluffy material. However Vil knew you'd like it given that you'd told him once that you liked oversized sweaters that were soft. Rook gave a nod of approval, a smile on his face.

"They'll love it Roi du Poison! We can send it with Monsieur Cherry Apple."

Rook said as he grabbed a nearby basket to put it in. Vil folded the sweater up with care and placed a jug of Epel's family's apple juice along with it.

"There. Hopefully this will help them feel better."

Vil said satisfied. Rook gave a small smile at the dorm leader and with that the two grabbed the basket and made their way to find Epel.

Ruggie had known Leona for a long time. So seeing the usually lazy lion putting so much effort into something. Especially for someone else. The dorm leader was putting together a fur blanket, that he was going to give to you to keep yourself warm during the night. After all Ramshackle wasn't the best place in the world and what with the chilly autumn nights it wouldn't help you with your cold. So here Leona was with Ruggie watching him in stunned amusement as he tried to make it look somewhat decent.

"Shishishi, who would have thought that you actually cared Leona."

Ruggie said chuckling in amusement. Leona shot him a nasty glare, his green eyes narrowed.

"I just don't want to hear the herbivores complain. It disturbs my naps."

He said stiffly, refusing to say anything more about the subject. Ruggie just snickered knowing that despite Leona's grouchy attitude, it was obvious that he cared about you......even if begrudgingly.

"Whatever you say Leona."

Ruggie said with a mischievous smile, his blue eyes twinkling with mirth. Leona's tail flicked in irritation before he went back to work, grumbling lowly under his breath.

'Stupid Prefect. This had better bring me some peace and quiet.'

Scarabia was a usually hectic place given that Kalim was the dorm leader but today......today the usually chipper teen was even more chaotic than usual. Rushing around the dorm kitchen, Kalim searched among the vast amounts of teas he'd required from people unable to find one specific one. As Kalim searched he didn't take notice of Jamil coming into the kitchen, the vice dorm leader's grey eyes going wide at the sight he saw.

"Kalim what the hell are you doing?"

Jamil asked startling the poor boy. Kalim about jumped out of his skin, ruby red eyes wide as he whirled around towards Jamil. The young man couldn't help but compare Kalim to a deer caught in headlights with his startled expression before the young heir grew sheepish.

"Ah Jamil I was looking for tea...."

Kalim said sounding a bit awkward. Jamil quirked an eyebrow, waiting for Kalim to finish.

"But it's this specific kind of tea. It's the kind you make me when I get sick, the one that helps soothe sore throats. But I can't find it anywhere!"

Kalim finished looking now frustrated by the end of his explanation. Jamil instantly knew what Kalim was asking for and quickly connected the dots when he realized that Kalim probably wanted to give you this tea. It had spread fast the news of you getting a nasty cold, so it wasn't a huge surprise that Kalim the sweet boy, wanted to help you.

"I know where it is. Clean up this mess and I'll be right back."

Jamil said before disappearing from the kitchen to get the tea. Kalim beamed happily and quickly started to clean up his mess, making sure that it was the way it was. By the time Jamil came back with one of the familiar containers full of the tea leaves Kalim about sprung himself onto the young teen.

"Thank you Jamil! You really are a life saver! Hopefully this will help (Y/N) get better!"

Kalim said happily hugging the flustered man.

"O-oi okay I get it-! Get off of me-! Kalim-!"

Jamil said flustered as his face grew red. Kalim just hugged him more, unaware that he was making Jamil go red. The dark haired man realized that Kalim wasn't going to let go so with a somewhat embarrassed look he accepted his fate.

'(Y/N) had better be grateful for this. The things I do....'

Jamil thought. And if his heart raced a tiny bit at Kalim's hug and happiness then that'd be his little secret.

"Eh Azul~ Whatcha doing?"

Floyd asked curious. Jade turned to look at the duo, also curious as to what Azul was doing. The octopus merman was making something, a bright colored liquid of sorts.

"Well if you must know I'm making something known as popsicles."

Azul answered not bothering to look up from his task. The twins exchanged a look, curiosity growing.

"Oh? And why are you making popsicles? Is it a new food item for the lounge?"

Jade asked, a sharp smile on his face.

"More like an experiment of sorts. I'm going to send them to random people to have them taste test."

Azul responded. Floyd suddenly smiled widely looking much like a predator.

"Oh~? So you're making them for Shrimp-Chan?"

Floyd said in a sing song tone. Azul froze and shot Floyd an annoyed look while Jade laughed silently at Azul's expression.

"Oh my, this is a surprise. Making a treat for (Y/N) because they're sick? That's awfully kind of you."

Jade said teasingly. Floyd let out a laugh while Azul huffed.

"Well I am a kind soul.....besides.....if these turn out right......"

Azul said a gleam in his eyes as his glasses flashed.

"Then I can make a profit off of them."

Azul said smiling a little smile. The twins smiled widely, amused by Azul's mindset.

"Ah Azul only you~"

Floyd said as Jade nodded in agreement. The trio continued to talk to one another as Azul made the popsicles, the unsaid affection that they shared for you unsaid. Besides there was nothing wrong with making a possible business move while helping someone else.

Idia stared at his manga collection, eyeing each one closely. He wanted to make sure he picked out a good series for you to read while you were recovering. Something simple that didn't require too much energy to pay attention to. Yet old enough that Idia wouldn't mind if something happened to the book, not that he couldn't replace it plus you much like him cared deeply for manga. So he had no problems letting you borrow them, knowing that you'd take good care of them. Ortho sat on his older brother's bed, holding a stuffed toy that he was planning to give to you to help you feel better.

"Ah w-what about this one?"

Idia asked softly showing Ortho the book. The young boy looked at it critically, golden hues focused on it.

"Hhhh I think they'd like it! It's got good reviews online and it's a simple story, I'm sure that (Y/N) would appreciate it!"

Ortho said in a chipper tone. Idia smiled a crooked smile and gathered the first few volumes of the series to send to you. Ortho placed the stuffed toy, a three headed dog plushie next to the books looking proud of himself.

"H-hopefully this will help them...."

Lilia Vanrouge had lived a long time. And because he lived a long time he had learned quite a bit of knowledge on humans and human illnesses. Especially since he had two sons who were human, (granted one of them was half human but still) and got sick quite often as children. Which is why he was now currently giving advice to Malleus to help him out with trying to help you in your recovery from your illness. The dragon fae was absorbing as much as he could about human illnesses, thinking about what he could do to help you. Silver was laying on the dormitory couch, already having figured out what he would send to you. A comfy pillow for you to sleep on so you could rest. Lilia watched as Malleus got lost in thought, thinking carefully.

"The children of men are so fragile......it makes it rather difficult to figure out what to get them especially when they're sick."

Malleus said softly, expression somewhat troubled. Lilia gave Malleus a small fatherly look and patted his arm.

"You'll figure something out Malleus. (Y/N) will love whatever you give them, that much I'm sure of."

Lilia said with a smile. Malleus just nodded his head before getting up to think about this more. Silver watched as his companion left before turning his amethyst eyes towards his father.

"Do you think he'll really be able to find something old man?"

Silver asked curious. Lilia gave a small knowing smile.

"I'm sure of it. Now let's get our things together to send to the wee beastie. I've got a CD to help them sleep."

Lilia said cheerfully, holding up a copy of the music him and the music club made. Silver shook his head looking unsure.

"I don't think heavy metal will help them sleep."

~~~~~

Ramshackle dorm was dark and quiet when you'd finally woken up from your sick induced sleep. Blinking in a sick way you looked around the room and you were startled to see your friends fast asleep around you. Ace, Sebek and Jack were sleeping on the ground, snoring softly. Epel and Deuce were sleeping up against the couch, snuggled rather closely. Grimm was sleeping on your pillow, snuggled close to you. Even though you were in a sick haze you couldn't help but smile at the scene.

'Good for you Deuce.'

You thought hazy like before you took notice of all the things in your room. Different types of objects and other knickknacks that weren't there before now sat in your room. Confused by all of it you shakily got out of bed to take a look and sucked in a wheezy breath.

Gifts. They were get well gifts.

From all of your friends.

You felt your eyes sting as you were overwhelmed with the sudden affection you felt for your friends from different dorms. They had put in all this effort to help make you feel better and it lowkey made you wanna hunt them all down and smother them with hugs. But unfortunately it would have to wait until you were better. Deciding to save the deep looking through for the morning you looked towards your band of boys and smiled affectionately at their sleeping forms. It warmed your heart to know that your friends cared for you. You made a mental note to figure out a way to make it up to them with all the trouble you may have caused. You were about to go to bed when the familiar sight of fireflies in the Ramshackle graveyard caught your attention.

"Tsunotarou....."

You crocked not really thinking about it as you shakily made your way towards the outside. Later you'd probably regret it but you wanted to see your friend. Wrapping your blanket tightly around your shoulders you made your way outside shivering from the cold. Shivering you made your way to the graveyard and finally caught sight of him.

"Tsunotarou.....what's up....?"

You said voice cracking slightly from your sore throat. Malleus turned towards the sound of your sickly voice, green eyes filled with concern.

"Child of man.....you should be asleep and resting....."

Malleus said his tone soft and worried. You gave him a small smile and sat down next to him, curling close to him to keep warm. The fae prince wrapped his cape around you as soon as you sat down to try and keep you warm.

"I wanted to see you......"

You mumbled shyly, your mouth filter off due to being sick. Malleus went slightly red, looking away from your honesty. You couldn't help but smile at how he was acting before you noticed him reaching for something.

"I'd gotten you a get well gift.....it's not much but I hope it helps."

Malleus said softly before handing you a wrapped package. Curious you opened it and stared at it in shock. Inside was a somewhat awkward looking scarf and hat. It was obvious that it was handmade by the way it was switched together, some of the lines awkward and messy.

"I heard that humans get cold easily so I had decided that perhaps these would help keep you warm. I apologize for the presentation. I am not well versed in making things the human way."

Malleus said looking somewhat embarrassed by his gift. You on the other hand were touched. Feeling your eyes sting again you wiped at them, sniffling due to them and your stuffy nose. Malleus instantly grew concerned thinking he'd done something to upset you when he was met with a smile.

"I love it.....thank you so much Malleus, I can't wait to wear them back to school."

You said in your stuffy voice. Malleus gave you a warm look before helping you up.

"I'm glad you like it (Y/N)......let's get you back to bed. You need to rest and recover."

The tall man said softly. You gave a sleepy nod leaning into him as he transported the two of you back to your room. Helping you into bed, you felt yourself relax and start to drift. Malleus threw the blanket on you making sure you were covered.

"Goodnight beastie. Get well soon."

Malleus's soft voice whispered before a gentle sensation touched your forehead.

'If I didn't know any better......I'd say he just kissed my forehead......'

You thought in a giddy sick daze before finally drifting off to sleep surrounded by your loved ones.

*Ah I didn't mean for this to be so long I just wanted to write some self indulgence. I've caught a nasty cold a few days ago and I've been feeling like shit so I decided to write something to make me feel better I honestly didn't mean to make it so long shdhdhdhfh. Also I may have added some ships. Anyways if any y'all read this I hope you enjoyed it!!!*

And honestly I'm okay with this.
