#and no one knew until they got caught by ruggie

[cafe-smut]

No thoughts, just Lilia and Cheka trying to get Yuu to date/marry Malleus/Leona and being super into that fight. Neither Malleus nor Leona know what's going on. Yuu finds it hilarious and 100% knows despite playing dumb.

Bonus: Azul's got everyone placing bets on who will win

[twisted-king]

OOOO IDEA, how about the OB boys with a s/o who has an ESA (Emotional Support Animal) that they somehow convinced Crowley to allow them to have (because they literally need the animal). And the esa comforting them after their OB 🥺

Literally kissing you on the forehead rn.

Sorry about the exlusion of Jamil, idia and Malleus.

No ideas about Jamil, not sure how Idias would fit in... and Mal mal isnt finished

This is angstier than I thought it would be <3

TW: Panic attacks (Isolating + silent types), narcolepsy

Feel free to correct me if i got a certain experience wrong, I am a studying Psychology major so it would help me with my understanding of anything!

Remeber: ESAs and Service animals are different!

Overblot gang with an S/O with an ESA

First things first:

Lets say you're in second year, so you're dating the OB boys before the OB.

Going to keep the particular support need vauge, but it is panic related, reader is sensitive to loud noises and textures feeling wrong.

You 100% convinced crowley to let your ESA to stay with you because:

he is sooooo kind

you wouldn't let a poor defenseless panic-prone human in an ALL MAGIC BOYS SCHOOL alone would you????

Now with that out of the way:

Riddle Rosehearts

Animal: British Shorthair (cat)

I'm gonna call this cat Queenie

Riddle's Overblot wasn't really something you were ready for in any capacity.

Your usually kept together boyfriend was suddenly some... angry, monsterous thing.

This wasnt the Riddle that got you high quality noise cancelling headphones for unbirthday parties, the same Riddle who you spent so much time learning and growing with. Your dutiful boyfriend who was learning how harsh his punishments were with you...

That Riddle wasnt here right now.

Queenie circles you, nuzzling into your legs.

But its too late, you've shut down. Its hard to move, your heart feels like it doesnt have a beat but the hurt of an ever beating heart remains present.

Your breathing quickens, your knees buckle in from under you.

the dull thud of of your body hitting the slightly overgrown grass of heartslabyul is the last thing you hear as you slowly drown further into your panic.

Riddle, on the other hand, Just came to from his OB, staring at his dormmates worried and horrified faces. He feels weak, he knows what just happened, and he feels HORRIBLE....Oh god.

Are YOU okay??? where are you? Where is his S/O

That's when he spots you, your tear striken face, Queenie laying on top oof your chest, your hands shakily petting her back in sporadic, unrythmic strokes as her face snuggles further into your chest.

What has he done?

Riddle feels awful.

He promised to never be the cause of any panic for you. He wanted to be a safe space for you.

But his need for order seems to have taken over and ruined yet another important relationship in his life.

Despite his fatigue, he hesitantly appraches, keeping about 2 meters away from you. He knows you don't want anyone too close by right now.

When you show signs of calming down, He's there, silently and patiently sitting across from you.

"Do... do you want to talk about it..?"

You respond with a shake of your head.

He nods, you two remain in silence. One preparing for a potentially life-changing talk, the other rocking about as they cradle their cat

Leona Kingscholar

Animal: Corn Snake

His name is Zazu (shhhh)

Leona liked things quiet, and calm.

Thats what made you two work, at least according to him.

But, you knew and Malleus and Magift was a sore subject for him, you were kind of ready for his yearly temper, it caught you off gaurd last year, but this year you felt like you could really stand by his side!

Besides, a year in this hectic world with Zazu really helped stabilize your mood!

Until it wasn't.

A roaring stampede instead of a crowed, screams of terror instead of cheer, and your boyfriend, slowly turning your friend, Ruggie, into sand.

It was too much, too many shoves, too much noise, your friend almost died

You hold Zazu's little head gently, the soft, smooth texture of his scales your only vice as you duck under the bleachers of the magift stadium.

It's there and only there, all alone with your snake that you're able to break down and cry.

Leona groaned as he came to, he knew this was a stupid plan and a stupid decision. He could have just trained everyone properly, spend some actual time with you. He could have- Wait... where were you?

Despite his drained energy, he needed to know where you were. He put a hand up, stopping the chatter of his former victims, attemping to listen in for any sign of you.

He hears the soft mumbling of your attempts to talk to yourself

"Can't even trust em enough to tell me, I knew i should have stayed at home, this is why no one will accept yo-" hisssss

Okay, he had to do something

He rushes across the nearly empty stadium, suprising everyone (Except Ruggie maybe, he's kind of used to Leona)

"Herbivore?!" he stands outside the stands you're under

"I don't... I don't want to see you right now... I don't want you to see me."

"Babe- I... alright. Can I be with you right now?" "no." "I'm coming in anyway."

and he does.

He enters the darker space to find you huddled ong the ground, gripping onto your sleeve with one hand, the other coiled but zazu, who seems to lay still across your shoulders.

"I'll just be here." "Why?" you mumble "For you." he states

That makes you chuckle "You sap.."

Hisss <3

Azul Ashengrotto

Animal: Mop dog

Mop dog named Max...uh... Maxie

Okay so, unfortunately Azul did NOT like Maxie at first

But he got used to him because you two are a package deal

You knew Azul had insecurities, and his own...moments

You and Azul had a comfortable routine, you and him are both realtively particular, he needs a level of order in his life, and his comfort zone is very well kept. So you two kind of fell into a step.

Despite your realtive bliss spending most days in his office or the backrooms of the Lounge. You knew his business was his passion.

You also knew he tended to get a bit... ambitious.

You and Maxie knew to stay away during midterms, it was bound to get chaotic. And Azul gets kind of... gift-bomby around this time... it isn't the most comfortable.

Things typically died down a few days after midterms, so you decided to visit your boyfriend.

On the complete wrong day.

You took Maxie with you, ready to greet Azul after his busier week but instead you find...

Leona? with a pile of sand around him by Azul's vault... Oh no.

Maxie softly appraches a sullen Azul and nudges his leg with his paw.

Something seemed to snap because all of a sudden the sneaky yet loving Azul Ashengrotto you knew was... huge eight tentacles and crazed.

He shoves Maxie away, sending him to the ground (mind you, he's a pretty big dog)

He shoved your dog.

He's stealing things, he's refusing to be "worthless" "weak" "stupid and clumsy"

Everything you've always secretly felt you were... oh no...

Maxie rushes toward you.

You slowly place yourself on the ground.

You've fainted.

Azul comes to, he sees Ace, Deuce, the Prefect... Leona... and you? when did you get here? on the ground... Maxie gaurding your sleeping form.

He... overblotted.

How could he be so stupid?? everything seemed to be in pla e did he not count something or- WHY ARE YOU HERE?

Azul approaches you and Maxie, he dismisses the prefect and gang, solely focused on you.

Maxie opts to lie on top of you, promptly waking you up

"oof... what... what happended"

"I'm... so sorry" "Oh. right."

Maxie greets you with kisses, happily nudgeing your cheek accompanied by his happy barks. You sratch his head "I'm ok... down boy."

Azul apologetically stares at you, hesitant to say more.

You look up to him, sighing against Maxie. Your eyes narrowed "I thought we agreed." "I know I just... I can't help it." "Therapy." "I'll apply tomorrow afternoon, I promise."

Vil Schoenheit

Animal: Poodle

Her name is Georgette

Vil and Georgette get along realtively well. She doesn't shed, you keep her well groomed, and you're usually more on task with her around.

You like to joke that Vil reminds you of Georgette. He claims he is much more refined than your dog. She doesn't seem to like it much either.

He likes taking you out to set with him. He trusts you to behave and know's you feel safe both around him and whenever Georgette is around, he respects that.

Vil pets Georgette like an evil mastermind sometimes? So maybe that should have been a warning sign.

The VDC was fast approaching, Vil is under a lot of stress; he's been a harsh coach, his popularity stays at the same place consistently, he's FINALLY given the opportunity to beat Neige "once and for all"

VDC happens, you're helping the Prefect overlook how things are running. Overlooking the practices.

Vil does absoltely beautifully! and for once, Georgette agrees.

Neige does this old nursery song, and you're more than confident Vil will win.

You leave the prefect to handle the rest while you head to the stalls to buy a drink for Vil.

He deserves a treat after all <3

When you come back, everything seems fine but, the stadium is empty though...

And suddenly everything is falling around you

You take Georgette and quickly duck behind one of the seats.

Vil's distorted voice echoes throughout the stadium, you cannot quite see him but you see the giant MONSTER lurking behaind him.

When he comes to..

Vil is downright ashamed. He knows trying to poison someone is wrong. He knows he doesn't get to decide whether or not someone lives... Especially not for a glorified popularity contest.

And that's when he spots Georgette's thankfully obnoxiously large bow peeking out from behind one of the seats.

That is when he knows he has to check in on you. You are never far from Georgette.

"Darling? Meine Geliebte, are you alright.." You're huddled with your poodle. Rubble is strewn about around you. Your eyes remain shut as you mutter to yourself.

"It's ok, it's fine. you're safe. I-it's okay.." Georgette's fur is soft, you continue to trace little patterns into her well groomed coat.

Vil sighs to himself, relived you're at least ok, but he's worried. You have Georgette for a reason, and he knows just how much progress you've made to gain the confidence to live your daily life and he may have just destroyed that.

He remains by your side

Caught

Tw: more fluff :> You and Leona cuddling, your relationship was still a secret..until Ruggie decided it wasn't.

˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

It was pretty late in the evening, Leona and you were getting ready for bed. He of course was always ready for bed, he hardly took the time to change before he laid down and got comfortable.

"You're so fast to crawl into bed, Lazy lion." You chuckled and unbuttoned your blazer while you spoke. He rolled over to face you, his green gaze narrowing into a stubborn glare, "You could do the same, save us both the time."

You rolled your eyes and walked over, sitting on the edge of the bed and sticking your tongue out at him playfully. He scowled just a bit with a disgruntled expression, his tail lashing about fiercely as you taunted him.

"Just lay down, dammit." he huffed and reached for you, before you even had the thought to pull away he had you trapped between his arms. "But i haven't finished cha-!" he quickly interrupted your sentence with a kiss, gently holding your face before leaning back.

He grinned smugly seeing your baffled expression and red face, a wide and cheeky look on his face. "That shut ya up fast." he snickered and pinched your cheek. You swatted his hand away and lowered your head to keep your face out of sight.

"Stupid lion..just go to sleep.." You mumbled, he looked down at you. Still smug, but he softened up a bit and pulled you close, his tail wrapped around you and he held tightly onto your waist before he pulled a big blanket over the two of you.

You were completely hidden underneath, not that you minded, it was a safety measure so it was nearly impossible to see you, so no one would catch the two of you.

Speaking of, why were you and Leona keeping your relationship a secret? Perhaps Leona didn't want to tarnish your reputation with his own, as dating a lazy second born prince with a lot of baggage..well, people will talk.

You wouldn't care if the two of you were found out, but if it made him feel better, you agreed to keep your relationship a secret.

Leona fell asleep pretty fast after you playful argument, and listening to his soothing heartbeat and breathing put you to sleep fast as well.

Hour passed, and the sun began to rise on a new day. When morning comes, so does Savannahclaw's daily morning Spell drive training. And Ruggie knew Leona well enough to know he wasn't going to be getting up on his own, no chance.

"Hey, Boss!" came a stupidly energized voice, one that only belonged to Ruggie. Leona grumbled softly and nuzzled closer to your, his ears flattening as he tried to stay asleep.

"Come on, if you sleep the morning away not only will you miss training, you'll miss morning classes!" He huffed and put his hands on his hips before a sly toothy grin painted his face.

"You leave me no choice!" he snickered and stepped closer to the foot of the bed, grabbing a handful of the blanket and pulling it right off with ease.

You stiffened, Ruggie froze in surprise, and Leona seemed too bewildered to move. It was like the whole room had completely froze, that is, until Ruggie began to chuckle and laugh like the hyena he is. As he laughed, you could tell Leona was getting visibly agitated..which wouldn't work out well for Ruggie.

"Get. Out." Leona growled, his ears had flattened and he snarled. Seeing his anger, Ruggie quickly shut his trap and smiled awkwardly with his hands raised. "i'll just tell em you're sick! Yeah- that'll work-" he turned on a dime and quickly ran out.

With the hyena gone, Leona slumped over and sighed. You sat up and stretched before flopping onto him, "i'm pretty sure you can scare him into silence, y'know..?" you did your best to offer him solace, but he just flopped onto you, laying his head on your chest.

"Forget it, it was gonna happen at some point 'n time.." He grumbled, letting out a yawn once he had relaxed again. His tail wash lashing about, so you could tell that he was at the very least still irritated.

"Y'know..even if people don't like that i'm dating you, i thought you'd be the kind of guy who wouldn't care.." you hummed and brushed your hand through his hair. "Hmph..I don't want my poor rep to effect you..that's all." he sighed.

His tail gradually began to relax the more attention you put into messing with his hair or rubbing his ears. "I mean..I think less people will want to mess with the magicless Ramshackle student once they know I'm with you, y'know?"

He glanced up at you, those green eyes of his full of doubts and uncertainty. "I think the Savannahclaw students will treat me with more respect now! Well, that's if Ruggie goes running his mouth.." Leona smiled to himself seeing you so bright.

"I feel stupid for worrying about you." he hummed and closed his eyes, "Are you not going to morning training..?" You inquired and tilted your head, only to be met with soft snores. "You-" You sighed and rolled your eyes before kissing his forehead and leaning back, "Sweet dreams, Lazy lion.." You muttered and closed your eyes, drifting off to sleep soon after..

Thanks for reading.

[pinkanonwrites]

So I got this random idea after watching a few cat videos and I was wondering how Leona, Jack and Ruggie would react to a laser pointer. And, because I simp for him, maybe include Jamil mistaking it for a bug? Just a thought, and up to you.

This ended up being very cute and very silly, so I enjoyed it a lot! Also poor Jamil, I really put him through the wringer on this one.

Logically, he knows it’s just a little light and not an insect, or even something worth chasing or devoting his attention to. But damn him if he didn’t take a few swats at that little scampering light when you shone it in front of him. He’d been lying so comfortably too, sprawled out on the hot tile under the sun, soaking up the rays. You must have planned this ahead of time, waiting until he’d gotten comfortably drowsy before slipping the laser pointer from your pocket and waggling it near his hands.

Instinct won out after a few moments of observing its movements, one hand shooting out to swat the offending light. But you just directed it carefully away, dodging the second attacking hand as you went. It only took a few swats for you to no longer be able to stifle your laughter, leading to a seething glare from Leona as you devolved into bubbling giggles.

“Well, aren’t you proud of yourself?” He jeered, moving with surprising speed from his lounging position to tackle you to the floor beside him. Your compensation for interrupting naptime would be to serve as his human body pillow. Perhaps a few hours of ruminating on your decisions would deter you from teasing an apex predator next time.

Leave it to you to catch him at his most vulnerable, right when he was about to eat. Just as he was preparing to take a big bite of his sandwich you let the little light dance playfully next to his lunch tray. You watched his eyes follow it curiously, mouth still hanging agape with the sandwich a few inches away.

WHAP!

Of course, there was nothing there for him to catch, but you shifted the light anyway to appear like a fleeing insect. He jammed the sandwich into his mouth to add a second hand to his approach, trying and failing to catch the offending light as it scampered up and down the grain of the table. He let out an irritated growl at his inability to catch the little thing, though it was mostly muffled by bread, lettuce, and lunch meats.

When you finally flicked the laser pointer off he let out an audible snarl, searching feverishly across the counter for where the offending “insect” could have disappeared to. His nose scrunched in irritation and his ears flattened against his head, you couldn’t help but explain what was the actual cause, even if you knew it would just lead to your inevitable pranking in the future.

Jack is actually pretty good about keeping those chase-y, swatty instincts under control, so you’d have to catch him when he’s really distracted. If you don’t he’ll pretty much immediately realize it’s you causing this little light to dance about. When he’s studying though, brows furrowed with his nose tucked into the confusing book sitting flat on his table top, that’s a good time to send that little red light skipping across the page in front of him.

It’s purely instinctual at first, a hand reaching out to try and pin down whatever’s moving just on the peripheries of his vision while he studies. When he realizes he hasn’t caught anything, that’s when he’ll start to get more aggressive about it. After a few failed attempts he ends up loudly and suddenly slamming his book shut, trying to catch the light inside it. Both his hands fly up into the air and he lets out a growl when he realizes that has failed.

It’s only then that he’ll stop and watch for more than a few seconds, tracking the tiny motions of the light to your partially concealed hand sitting across from him. He’ll give you a pointed glare, reaching forward to bat the offending laser pointer out of your grip before returning to his studies.

You dash the little light across the counter top while Jamil is in the middle of prepping dinner, and he freezes like he’s being held at gunpoint.

“Did you see that?”

“See what?” You respond, oh-so-innocently.

“...Never mind.”

You wait a few moments before moving it again, letting it scamper up and over the carrots just as he’s reaching for them. His whole body jolts, grabbing the nearest utensil (a large ladle) and brandishing it at the offender.

“That! Right there!” He prods the carrots apart with the ladle, and yelps when the “insect” runs out from between them, disappearing off the side of the counter. After less than a second of pondering he grabs a large metal bowl off the counter and chucks it in the direction of the movement, spilling chopped vegetables across the counter and onto the floor.

“JAMIL!?”

“Where did it go?!? Keep your eyes open!”

You didn’t quite expect this level of mania in his response, and you’re quick to explain the situation before Jamil decides the next thing he throws should be something sharp. You are subsequently banned from the kitchen.

Savanaclaw x Siren!Reader

Gender-neutral Reader.

Leona Kingscholar

He knew something was wrong when you were an hour late to your daily cuddle session with him, so he opened his phone just to see a text from Azul. He let out an annoyed sigh as he opened the text, only to jump up and rush to Octavinelle as fast as he could because lo and behold: you had been turned into a siren.

Once he got there, the Lounge owner led you to where you were. He let out a small gasp upon seeing you swimming about: you looked so graceful and in your element. He called out to you by saying herbivore, and you met him at the water’s edge.

Fortunately, as Azul led him to you, he had warned the lion to not let you kiss him as he could be locked under your spell for eternity. Usually he doesn’t take advice from the other Housewardens, but this was one of the exceptions. However, with you having that luring look in your eyes, he knew that it would be the challenge of the century.

Then there was your song that he had to worry about. He was the only one who could hear it, and it haunted him in his dreams. All he could see was you calling out to him and looking so lonely. He didn’t know why his heart was tugging at him to go to you, but on the last night of you in this form, he followed through.

Upon seeing your face once again, Leona finally understood what sailors went through when they heard a siren song. His heart was pounding hard against his chest as you propelled yourself up to meet his lips halfway. Then, you pulled him into the water.

Thankfully, this was as the clock struck 12. So that meant the grumpy lion was not caught in your spell. But, since you had transformed back into his normal herbivore, he did have to carry you to Savanaclaw because your legs were wobbly. He did make you pay for the hard work through making you act as his pillow.

Ruggie Bucchi

He let out a few snickers when Jack had told him that you were transformed into a siren because of an accident in class, but he went to Octavinelle to see you. After all, you both had a routine where after school you would give him kisses and head pats upon seeing each other.

When he got there, the tweels actually led him to you, and he thought you looked breathtaking. Jade told him something that he did not pay attention to, mainly because you had noticed that your boyfriend was now here and thus his focus was now on you.

It would have done him some good to listen to the eel because he had warned the hyena that a kiss on the lips from you could mean that he would be stuck under your song. However, no kisses were delivered besides on your cheek because Ruggie had to go back to Leona since he still had a job to do.

But your voice and song had him under a trance throughout the next seven days. His actions were often thoughtless until someone mentioned your name. Sometimes you weren’t even singing. You were just using your voice and saying things like ‘I miss you, Ruggie’. He eventually caved in and went to go see you.

Once he did lay his eyes upon you on the final night, where your power was at its peak, his mind went empty as he went purely on instinct. His instincts were telling him to kiss you and answer your pleads for him, and so he did. The kiss didn’t break even when you pulled him into the water with you as the clock struck midnight.

The next day, he luckily wasn’t stuck under your song. He was glad that you were back to normal, though. But if your legs are wobbly from a week of having a tail, he doesn’t blame you and doesn’t mind helping you around the place.

Jack Howl

He was there when you were partnered up with Ace, and he was already on-edge because that guy was known for messing things up. So, imagine his not-so-surprised look when he saw that the Heartslabyul student had indeed messed up and spilled the potion. However, you turned into a siren, and he had to quickly carry you to Octavinelle so your scales didn’t dry out.

When he went to put you in the water, he went in as well so he didn’t throw you in. Azul and the tweels had warned him about your song and to not get entranced, so he tried to leave as fast as he could. He was about to climb out of the pool, when you started speaking.

You used your siren voice to plead with him not to leave and that you would be so lonely without him. Jack was trying so hard not to give in, but his heart and his mind were telling him that he needed to kiss you. It didn’t help that you wrapped your arms around his muscular one and looked at him with puppy dog eyes. But his resolve remained steadfast and he left.

Eventually, an entire week had passed, and every single night and day all he could think of was the sad look you gave him when he left each day he went to visit you. Your voice was in his mind when he worked out, when he went to class, when he went to sleep. It soon got to be too much for the wolf’s heart and he went to visit you on the seventh day.

And lo and behold: there you were, waiting for him. He didn’t exactly notice that until later, but right now he was just answering your calls for him. He actually went into the water so he could be closer to you, which was a mistake on his part considering time was almost up and you wanted to kiss him. Eventually, you propelled yourself up a little and wrapped your arms about his neck and placed your lips on his.

The next day, he definitely missed his morning workout. But, you were back to normal so he takes his losses. In addition to that, he wasn’t stuck under your curse because you kissed him as the clock struck 12. You both were incredibly lucky.

CONGRATS ON HUNDRED DOVE!! you sent me a risqué ask for 100 so now i do it back to ye-

"caught in the rain" with leona :D or ruggie, if someone got to him first! ehehehehehehhehehehe you can see stuff 😳👀 for free ✨✨✨

btw your ask is sending me so hard but i'm already typing out so much for leona so your ask is gonna be the last one for the event lol

Caught in the Rain; Leona Kingscholar

Content; Fluff, gender-neutral reader, reader needs to get bonked with a stick (/j)

Content Warning; Swearing

Word Count; 700+

AN; Don't expose my ass on my own blog, Soru /j. (just trying to feed your own simping along with the simps) But I hope you enjoy what I wrote for Leona and this prompt! As a reminder, do not put my work — or others for that matter — into AI as it steals. Link to Masterlist

The sky lay heavy with dark clouds, the smell of rain thick in the air, yet not a single drop had yet to strike the ground. The air was dense with humidity, warm from the harsh sun’s rays from earlier in the day. But yet, you found yourself outside, trying to find Leona.

He had invited you to spend your summer break as his guest in the palace. Well, less so 'invited', more so demanded.

“Do you have anywhere else to be, herbivore? I thought as much. Come on, you’re staying with me.”

You still don’t really know why, but you weren’t going to throw away the chance of staying someplace beyond nice for the summer… plus Leona wasn’t so bad once you got to know him. Yes, he puts on an act of not caring, and being abrasive, but you knew that he cared, that he worried. Also, the two of you had been having this back-and-forth banter for months; blurring the lines of just friends bickering and something... more. But neither of you had made a move. It just hung in the air between you, nearly as suffocating as the humidity now; potent with the possibility of a massive storm.

Back to the present though. You were on the outskirts of the palace, looking for wherever Leona had decided to take a nap for this afternoon.

“Leona,” you called, but all you heard in return was the low rumble of thunder in the distance. Where is that overgrown house cat? I swear if I get caught in a downpour because of him… “LEONA!”

The first drops of rain began to fall, gentle and sparse. But you knew full well that in a few minutes' time they would be falling hard and fast.

“LEONA KINGSCHOLAR?!” You shouted at the top of your lungs.

You heard an annoyed huff of air off to your left, and looking up you saw none other than Leona lounging in the low-hanging branches of a tree.

“Ya don’t need to yell, ya know,” he sighed, landing softly on the ground. He looked up to the sky and frowned before setting a slow pace back to the palace. “Are you coming or what, herbivore?”

You followed after him, catching up so the both of you were going at a comfortable pace. Thunder was still rumbling, and the rain was slowly picking up, but there was no rush. Well, there wasn’t any rush until there was a flash of lightning and it seemed like the entire sky’s worth of water came down all at once on the both of you.

“Shit,” Leona hissed and guided the both of you to the relative cover of a tree to wait out the worst of the monsoon. “Just our luc-” He stopped talking when he looked at you though.

You were spitting out some stray rainwater that had managed to get into your mouth. But once the intruding water was gone you looked over to him but you felt your eyes lock on his torso; the white shirt that he was wearing was now completely see-through and you could see everything. Stop staring! Damn though- STOP STARING! But your eyes refused to move.

Leona noticed this, and he also took in your drenched appearance but was more subtle with it. “Tch,” he tapped you on the nose, breaking you of your staring stupor. “My eyes are up here,” his voice was teasing though, light.

You snapped out of it, catching his mirthful eyes. “You’re beautiful,” you whisper. You felt your face grow warm at the slip of your tongue, but it was true. Even before you openly ogled at him, you always thought that, but never said it to his face.

Leona chuffed, but he didn’t say anything; neither denying or accepting your statement. “You aren’t half bad yourself,” he said softly.

The two of you sat underneath the tree, still in your soaked clothes, watching the rain fall together in a comfortable quiet. And while the first golden rays of sunlight may have been stunning, the both of you thought it was nothing when compared to the captor of your hearts; each other.

After all, you still had the rest of the summer to build on this new development.

Dorm leaders with a reader who sings like the Japanese singer, "Ado"

🌹 Riddle Rosehearts

-Riddle knew you were full of surprises, but he never expected you to have such an amazing voice. Cater was the one that revealed your talent by showing him one of your music videos at one of the Unbirthday parties. Riddle questions as to why you don't reveal your face, but he realized that if that's what makes you comfortable, then its fine. The ADeuce combo joked with the both of you saying that you should sing for Riddle for his birthday. Riddle flushed and collared the both of them for messing with him, but he secretly wouldn't mind if you sang for him. His favorite song of yours is "New Genesis" , he loves how upbeat it is and he sometimes hums the song to himself when he is doing his schoolwork

🦁Leona Kingscholar

Leona doesn't really care for music and all that other nonsense, especially if it disturbs his sleeping. He had found out about your singing when he was heading to Ramshackle dorm to avoid Ruggie, and had caught you in your room, recording for one of your music videos. You didn't realize Leona was in the room until you heard clapping, and saw him standing there with a smirk on his face. "Not bad", he said as he came closer to you and patted your head. Leona started to get more involved with your music, to the point he would wake up from his nap once he got a notification about a new music video on his phone. His favorite song of yours is "Usseewa", he tends to relate to the song and also likes the rebellious theme in the music video.

🐙Azul Ashengrotto

Well, well, well. Not only are you an angelfish, you also have the voice of an angel. Azul had discovered your talent, when he came across you in the music room of NRC, playing and singing on the piano. Azul came closer to you and sat down next to you, not saying a word, just listening to your gorgeous voice. Azul, being a business man that he is, wanted to promote you into being a singer in Mostro Lounge. Of course, he would pay you accordingly and there would be no need for a contract. Once you told Azul that you mostly perform on Magitube (Twst version of Youtube XD), and don't show your face, he understood and wouldn't pressure you, but he really would loved if you worked for him, so he could hear your voice more often. You did offer to sing a song promoting Mostro Lounge or have some of your merchandise be sold at Mostro Lounge, so both of you could benefit, since you felt bad for rejecting Azul's promotion, and Azul agreed in a heartbeat. His favorite song of yours is "Readymade" , he loves how jazzy it is.

☀️Kalim Al-Asim

NO WAYYYYYYY!!!!! YOU CAN SING!!!!!!! WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE!!!! Kalim was over the moon when he found out that you can sing, that he wanted to throw a celebration for you at Scarabia. He kept asking you over and over if you could please sing at the party. You appreciated how happy Kalim was about your talent, but you were not use to singing in front of people. Jamil noticed saw how tense you were and explained to him everything. Kalim realized that he was pushing you to sing and felt uncomfortable. He just wanted everyone to hear your amazing voice that he didn't consider your feelings so he apologized and offered to give you a ride on his magic carpet. Kalim wasted not time to subscribe to you and listen to all your music videos. His favorite song of yours is "The World's Continuation" , he loves the animation in the video and how soothing your singing is.

🍎Vil Schoenheit

Vil considered you to be a regular potato like all the other students until he discovered your talent when the Joint Culture Festival took place. During the auditions for VDC, it was your turn to demonstrate your singing, you surprised both him and Rook with your incredible voice. Vil is not an easy man to impress as he has been in the acting/music industry for a long time, so the fact that you were able to leave him wide eyed and mouth gaped like fish, welp, you had managed to capture the attention of the most beautiful person in NRC. Vil was slowly starting to become one of your biggest supporters/fans, as he often watched over you like a mother hen, making sure you were okay and not straining your voice too much. He wasn't use to your habit of not showing your face in your music videos, as you should be able to show your beauty to the whole world, but he slowly got over it, yet he was still interested in doing a duet with you on your video channel. His favorite song of yours is " Gira Gira" , he loved the message in the song and how it focused on beauty, but flaws and imperfections as well.

🔥Idia Shroud

Haha, don't group Idia with the other normies. He was the first one to discover your talent before all the other dorm leaders. During one of his gaming streams, he noticed that a lot of people were commenting in the chat about a recent music video of yours and that he should check them out. Idia decided to indulge in his streamers comments and check out one of your music videos. Welp, I guess you can imagine that after that, Idia become a huge fan of you and subscribed to your channel immediately. He was always the first one to hop on your new music videos and leave so many sweet comments about how good the video was and your voice. Idia understood COMPLETELY about not showing your face at concerts and in your videos as he does the same thing, and uses a tablet to communicate half of the time. You really appreciated Idia's support and you had asked him if he would be interested in doing an animation for your next music video. Idia fainted once you told him that, but Ortho answered for him and said he would love too. He loves all of your songs, but his number one favorite is "Backlight" , he loves the animation and the fact that you sang songs for an anime has him fangirling like crazy.

🐲Malleus Draconia

"Oya~ You are certainly one unique Child of Man." Malleus loves listening to music, but he is more use to the classical genre of music then rock or pop. He is also artistic in performing since he is very skilled with string instruments. He happened to discover your talent during one of his strolls through Ramshackle, as he saw you sitting in the fields, singing to yourself. Once you discovered Malleus had appeared next to you, you apologized quickly as you wondered if you had disturbed him, but he shook his head and said you sang very beautifully and would love to listen to you sing a bit more please. Malleus wasn't use to technology, but he had Lilia help him with that, since Lilia had better knowledge in that field, so he could watch and listen to your music videos. He was amazed to see how versatile your vocal ability was as you could hit so many different ranges. You had helped him discover other genres of music that he had never tapped into before and he thanked you for letting him discover something new. His favorite song of yours is "Aitakute" , he loves the story in the music video and the romantic theme in it.

A Day for Silly Love Songs

I have no idea what posessed me to write this at 2AM, I blame the Wings and youtube for recommending me love songs. Anyways enjoy this valentine's day Jamil x gn!reader I made in a rush. As always, if you notice any mistakes no you didn't

The Prefect always thought Valentine’s Day was just a commercial thing back home, a holiday made to sell specials, food and perfumes at a “discounted” price. They were more of the idea that love, be it for friends or family or lovers, should be expressed all year instead of just this one particular day.

Still they couldn’t help but miss the gaudy decorations of red, pink and white that often took over the world during this time of year, the silly love songs that people loved to dedicate each other and the loving messages friends left in the chats.

The Prefect also knew Valentine’s Day wasn’t a thing in Twisted Wonderland. It became obvious when February came and no heart-shaped decorations nor red, pink and white ornaments filled the campus nor the internet pages Cater and Idia were so keen on showing them.

No trends related to love or friendship, no complaining about loneliness or happy couples, nothing to show liking or disliking this particular date.

So, naturally, they didn’t take it personally when the freshmen received their gifts on the 14th wondering why the sudden affection. The Prefect didn’t explain, simply giving a 'I just felt like giving you all a little something for being such good friends'. After all, the whole history behind Valentine’s was complex and frankly quite separated from how it was celebrated in modern times and they didn't have the time nor the energy to explain why such a holiday was of any importance. All they cared about was giving their friends a little token of their appreciation.

Some of the upperclassmen also were confused. Ruggie and the Octavinelle trio in particular seemed intrigued but cautious about needing to return the favor. But they all smiled upon learning the gifts were just that, gifts. Ruggie in particular was very happy about receiving free food, no matter how small the bag of cookies was.

Malleus meanwhile was ecstatic to get a present from his friend. The wooden charm, painted a beautiful purple, was elegant in its simplicity and the fae was more than glad to attach the little charm on his magical pen. 

So on and so forth, the Prefect gave everybody a little trinket to show them their love. Even the more reclusive Idia got a little something.

However, there was one person who was yet to receive anything from the Prefect. And he had surely noticed by now.

Jamil Viper was stretching along with the rest of the basketball club, preparing for the training ahead, but he was having a hard time focusing with Ace and Floyd talking nearby.

‘Heee so Shrimpy gave you candy too? No fair! I thought my gift was special!’ 

‘Hey don’t look at me like that! You’re seriously freaking me out-’ Ace was interrupted by Floyd suddenly standing up and approaching him with a menacing aura, to which he responded with darting out of his reach and into the court. Floyd chased him, laughing all the way, and soon the rest of the club was shouting at them both to encourage the race, hoping to either see Ace outrun Floyd or be caught by him. 

Jamil was honestly done. He could feel a headache forming from the stress as well as he could feel the frustration of hearing around campus how everybody was getting a gift from the Prefect. That’s it, everybody but him.

Was it something he said? He knows he’s been busy lately what with helping the Scarabia students get back to studying and settling back in the dorm after the holidays, and also the whole ‘Crewel wants to make sure you all have the basics down pat, so we’ll be having weekly tests until March’ but he didn’t think he’d been neglecting you so much. He still went over to the cafeteria on a semi-regular basis to give you the “leftovers” -food he totally cooked specifically for you to enjoy- he had. He still made some time on his schedule to teach you and Grim a little bit of History or Alchemy or Ancient Curses because he knew how much you struggled with it. Merciful Sands, he even made his best effort to walk a certain route, different from his original one, to and from class everyday just so he could make sure to say hi to you every day.

As Floyd, Ace and some of the other guys started playing something completely unrelated to basketball, Jamil decided he had better things to do than stay here and do nothing. So he promptly grabbed his things and left without a word.

He walked fast and tense, with a determination and purpose that made most students move out of the way immediately. He reached the Scarabia kitchen in record time, and put on his apron to begin gathering ingredients.

Oh so you want to give people food? But not him? The rational part of his brain told him the Prefect had either forgotten or given his gift to Kalim to pass it later, but the emotional side wanted to remind the Prefect of their bond. He was the guy they kept messaging in the middle of the night with the pretext of not being able to sleep. He was the guy they kept calling first thing in the morning to make sure he’d slept well and have a nice breakfast before class. He was the guy who returned all that affection tenfold with little details that he both hope you would and wouldn’t notice because he loves you but he has so much trouble admitting his feelings.

So now, he’s preparing you a dessert. He knows it's your favorite, and while he would have liked to make this with more time over the weekend, make it really tasty and beautiful and surprise you with it on Ramshackle, maybe even have a date while you shared the food right now he needed to remind you just how much better he was than the rest of the students at this school, and how well he understood you. 

Kalim was just getting back from his own club activities when Jamil was preparing to leave. ‘Ohhh what’s that? It smells soooo good!’ The shine on his eyes denoted how eager he was to try the dessert, but Jamil had no time to lose, he was on a mission ‘I have to hand this to someone, but there’s some leftovers from lunch if you get hungry’ and just like that he was gone. Kalim didn’t even have time to ask who it was for or where exactly the leftovers were.

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

The Prefect sat in the Ramshackle living room, staring at the one gift they had been unable to give. Grim had fallen asleep from a food-induced coma, so he couldn’t bear witness to the defeat and shame on the Prefect’s face.

‘Ugh why can’t I do something so simple? It’s just a box of chocolates, why do I have to make such a huge deal out of it? I already gave everyone else things, and nobody thought anything weird’ sighing, the Prefect dropped their weight back onto the couch and laid there for a few seconds, thinking.

The heart shaped box, which they had to make by hand as Twisted Wonderland didn’t have such decorations, looked surprisingly good despite being carried dragged around campus all day. In fact, the Prefect was pretty certain that if they looked inside, the assorted chocolates of the various flavors they could remember from back home would also be intact. So why was the box still here instead of with its intended owner? 

As much as the Prefect hated to admit it, it was because they knew this gift was different from the others. All of the others were just little trinkets, with much love and some money put into them but barely the same time, effort and dedication that this one had required. And all because the Prefect had somewhat hoped to find Jamil alone at some point and confess their feelings with this gift. But as they walked around campus, the nerves and fear of rejection got the better of them.

After all, Jamil often joked about how troublesome the students here were, or how he was always worrying about his juniors and doing things to help them out (even if it they hadn’t asked for help), or how stressed he was lately with all the tutoring lessons or helping students recover their usual sleep schedules. The Prefect could tell it was all getting to him,  to the point his replies to their usual texting and calling had shortened to a few one or two-word answers. 

No, right now wasn’t the right time to confess. Jamil had enough on his plate, the last thing he needed was to consider someone else’s feelings and stress about rejecting or dating someone. And the Prefect certainly didn’t want to think too hard about the possibility of rejection and what that would mean for their friendship. 

‘Welp, guess I better get rid of this. Not like I’m gonna use it anymore’ as they stood up and gave themselves a single, determined clap, the doorbell rang.

‘Hm? Who could it be at this hour?’ looking around the room, the only things here were theirs and Grim’s ‘Odd, I don’t think the guys forgot anything’

The Prefect approached the door, thinking that perhaps Malleus had dropped by to go sightsee some gargoyles. Instead, as they opened the door, they were greeted by the man of the hour. Jamil Viper, whose panting, flushed cheeks and slightly disheveled appearance, revealed he may have been running here.

‘Jamil? What’s going on?’ The Prefect made to grab him by the shoulder but he stopped them with a raised finger. He took a few deep breaths, and when he was confident in his ability to speak, replied ‘I don’t know what I did to be ignored out of everybody today, but I brought you something to hopefully fix it’ 

Just then, as Jamil raised teh bagged food, did they realize he was carrying something. Their eyes widened and their cheeks flushed, but nevertheless they let him in.

‘Um, I don’t know what to say Jamil… um sorry, I promise I didn’t mean to ignore you all day’ Jamil walked in and quietly left the food on the table, careful not to wake Grim. He turned to eye the Prefect, not fully believing their words but too infatuated not to. 

‘So then how come everybody got gifts today except for me?’ at his accusatory words, the Prefect flushed even harder, the tip of their ears growing hot with embarrassment. Instead of answering with words, they simply grabbed the heart-shaped box and gave it to him, hoping this would suffice as an answer instead of having to admit so soon to their feelings.

Jamil eyed the box curiously, growing flushed himself upon noticing the…peculiar shape of it. He carefully opened it to see the assortment of colorful and well-crafted chocolates inside, as well as a handwritten list of flavors corresponding to each shape and color on the back of the lid. 

‘Uhhh’ all of a sudden, Jamil didn’t know what to say. The speech he had rehearsed on his way over, to try and make the Prefect see how he felt and possibly choose him as a boyfriend, was completely gone from his mind. ‘is this what Floyd was raving about?’ 

‘No, I- I made these myself, the others gifts were bought’ their voice was wavering between being strong and weak, as if they had to overpower the need to protect their heart with the love they felt for him.

Jamil took the box and began reading some of the flavors with curiosity, and seeing his rising eyebrows, the Prefect added ‘these are from back home, at least the few flavors and shapes I could remember better’ Immediately Jamil smiled, soft and fond. Oh, a piece of your world? Just for him? Was he truly that special to you? He ought to find a way to repay this thoughtful and kind gift tenfold. But first, he needed to make sure of something.

Letting the box on the table, he opened his own gift to you, revealing the delicious dessert he’d made. Although not quite as good as a professional chef’s would be, he was sure it would taste amazing. And so were you, from the smell of it.

‘I made this for you, because I thought maybe you were upset we- I haven’t been paying- able to spend much time with you’ he coughed a little, trying to regain the strength of his voice and his resolve ‘I figured…well we could eat together and catch up a bit…if…if that’s quite alright with you, Prefect’ and how could they say no? When he whispered their name with such softness, such reverence and delicacy, as if saying it any other way would break them, break him. 

The moment truly felt like taken out of a cheap rom-com movie, but that only made their own determination stronger. ‘I would love that Jamil…’ they stepped closer, slowly entering his personal space. Timidly, asking for permission and giving time to reject, they closed the gap between them with a small, chaste kiss to the corner of his lips. The moment felt perfect, they took it in for the few seconds it lasted. And then, when Jamil didn’t respond, they stepped back in a panic.

Was it too much? Had they read the signs wrong?

Jamil was frozen, face completely flushed and breath gone. They looked at him with concern and he looked at them with fear. And then confusion. And then realization. And finally embarrassment. Quickly he his his whole face with his hoodie, mumbling something about wanting to be cool on their first kiss.

The Prefect had to laugh, it was an honest reaction not meant to embarrass him further, but it clearly had that effect. So, they had to grab his hands gently, pry them away from his hood strings, slowly peel the hood down and hold his cheeks tenderly. Their eyes denoted all the love, warmth and longing they had for him and Jamil hoped his showed the same.

With one last loving kiss, they sat down holding hands to enjoy their treats together before Grim inevitably woke up from the smell of food. 

The Prefect always thought Valentine’s Day was just a commercial thing, but maybe there was a bit of romantic magic to this day after all.

Floyd x GN!Reader, Soulmate AU

Prompt: Soulmates can’t make each other feel pain

Today was as normal as NRC could get. Y/n had spent most of the day watching Grimm, Ace, and Deuce try to avoid studying, helped Ruggie drag Leona to class, and was even able to avoid Crowley asking for more favors.

Now that history class was over, it was time to take the long trek back to Ramshackle. Hopefully this time they’d be able to make it home before sunset. Since the dorm has been abandoned, the road wasn’t well lit and was honestly pretty creepy to walk alone.

As Y/N passed through the main walkway, they heard a familiar laugh, followed by someone asking for more time. Not being able to control their curiosity, they poked their head around the shrubs. After seeing the two near-identical mops of blue hair, with a random student sandwiched between, it was easy to realize what happened.

While Azul was doing better about his contracts, he insisted his restaurant and lounge needed to be staffed in some way. Now instead of placing restrictions on students’ powers in exchange for deals, they would agree to ‘volunteer’.

No clue why this student thought they’d be able to hide and run from the twin eels though. Y/N knew better than anyone that when those two had their eyes set on something or someone, they’d end up getting it.

As the three slowly got closer to the hiding spot, Y/N moved next to the nearest statue. Silently hoping that they’d be able to hide well enough and stay out of sight, particularly Floyd’s.

Y/N had no clue why that eel gained an obsession with squeezing them. Originally it seemed to just be Floyd's form of cruel and unusual entertainment, but now it was on another level. Each time they tan into each other, Floyd would chase Y/N around until something else came up. Until it was time for Azul ordering him to leave, classes started, or Y/N was just lucky at finding a good hiding spot, Floyd stopped for nothing.

Now that the trio was directly in front of the statue, Y/N couldn't help but hold their breath, scared that even the smallest noise would draw attention. Apparently hopeful thinking jinxed them, because right as they were about to exit the walkway, Grimm came bustling in yelling at the top of his lungs.

“Hey, Y/N! Whatcha doing behind the statues? Oh! Is there a hidden can of tuna back there?” Yelled the blue ball of fur as he hurried over.

As soon as Floyd heard the name and saw where Grimm ran to, he shoved the escapee into Jade’s arms and rushed right over.

“There’s my favorite Shrimpy! Why’d you hide from me?” He excalimed while leaning over and showing his usual big grin.

“Oh, well…I just saw the both of you were busy and figured it would be best to leave you be. Can’t have you be late when working for Azul!” Y/N stated with a nervous chuckle, still hoping they’d be able to escape without being used as a living stress ball.

“Speaking of which, man! Look at the time! Grimm and I have a lot to study and need to get back to the dorm. Nice seeing you, talk to you later!” Trying to end the conversation on that note, Y/N grabbed their furry companion and went to run past Floyd to safety.

Unfortunately, the universe continued to work against them. Their foot caught on one of the shrubs roots and all they saw was the ground getting closer. Right before impact though, everything stopped. Quickly realizing that Floyd wrapped his hand around their waist and was the only thing keeping them up. With this realization, Y/N felt their face slowly getting warmer with each second.

“Now, now Shrimpy! Gotta be careful and watch where you step. Could’ve squashed your little friend here.” Floyd said with a smile as he grabbed Grim by the collar and moved him out of reach. Grim wasn’t one to stick around when things were going south, so he started running as soon as he could. All Y/N could hear was him yelling something about meeting up at Ramshackle.

Before they could think of a way to get out of Floyd’s arms, he started to speak. “Well Shrimpy, guess you owe me now since I saved you and your little pet. Good news is I already know what I want!”, each word made his usual grin get bigger and bigger, only making Y/N’s stomach sink lower and lower.

While Floyd had never been able to ‘squeeze’ them yet, he kept saying how he wanted to. Normally, a tight hug wouldn’t be a big concern, but with how the students who’ve been through it have complained about backaches and rumors of a few broken arms, Y/N was pretty much terrified of what they knew was coming.

With their eyes squeezed shut and hoping for a quick recovery, Y/N just hoped that Floyd would be a little reasonable and try not to break any bones. However, even though the hug felt a little tighter than necessary, it didn't hurt.

After another minute of the hug, Y/N finally worked up enough courage to talk, "Um, Floyd? I think the squeeze is done now. Could you put me down?", they asked with a small smile. Hoping that asking nicely would help.

Unfortunately, Floyd seemed far too happy as is and just shook his head in response, "No way Shrimpy! You're the first one to like being squeezed. If anything, makes me think I should squeeze you even tighter." He stated blankly.

This argument would’ve continued for awhile, if it weren’t for Jade walking up. Y/N realized that they’d been so wrapped up in dealing with Floyd, that Jade had been able to take the student to Octavinelle and come back.

“Now Floyd, you know not to play too hard with your toys. Might be best to put Y/N down before you cause bruising.” Jade said with his usual fake smile

However, instead of listening to his brother and letting Y/N go, Floyd just held on even tighter. “But Jade, Shrimpy doesn’t mind it! If they did, they’d be like all the other fishies and yell for help!”

That comment made Jade reanalyze exactly what was going on, and once he pieced it together he let his rare genuine smile come to show.

"Well, it looks like I have wonderful news for our next phone call with Mom and Dad. They'll be so happy to hear about how one of us finally found their soulmate." Jade stated while eyeing Y/N with a half joking and half serious look, before turning around and walking away.

"Wait, soulmate? That's actually a thing? Jade come back here and explain!" Y/N yelled out as Jade disappeared into the building once more.

"Awww, don't worry Shrimpy! I'll take good care of ya!" Floyd stated with a happy sigh, back to squeezing his new found soulmate and loving how they only sighed and accepted the hug.

Any thoughts for the possibility of Yuu and Grandma Bucchi meeting?

Oh, absolutely! I want Yuu to meet Grandma Bucchi so bad since I love Ruggie and think his grandma will be cute like him but also super badass/awesome like Epel's grandma lol

Unfortunately, the chances of Ruggie getting a hometown event are pretty low, considering it's unlikely that there are hometown festivals, etc. where he grew up, and there's no way his family could afford to host anyone when they're just barely getting by as it is.

That's why I'm really hoping that Grandma Bucchi shows up in Book 7 at some point like Baul did cause that seems like our best chance to see her 🤞

Anyway, now it's time for me to stop babbling, so I can finally actually answer your question lol I put it all underneath the cut since I ended up writing a lot as per usual 😂

Okay, first off, I'd like to say that I think Grandma Bucchi isn't someone who's easy to impress/win over. You gotta earn her respect since she's gone through a lot over the years, and she won't get close to someone unless she's sure she can trust them.

She'd be especially like this when it comes to people associating with her grandson, although she trusts Ruggie's judgment since he's not the type who easily trusts people either, so whenever Ruggie starts talking positively about someone, she wouldn't immediately make unkind assumptions about them and would stay just wait to see how things play out before deciding how she should feel about whoever has caught Ruggie's interest.

Regarding Yuu, Grandma Bucchi first hears about her when Ruggie comes home for winter break 'cause Ruggie strikes me as the type who doesn't really talk about all the people at school when he's on the phone with his grandma. Instead, he focuses more on telling her that he's doing alright, eating well, etc. since he thinks that kinda info is more important.

Plus, he was totally worried that his grandma would tease him for spending so much time around a girl his age, which he had never really done before up until this point, and he really did not wanna deal with such an embarrassing conversation lol

However, the topic of Yuu can't be avoided when Ruggie gets home. That's because, in addition to bringing all that food from canon, Ruggie also has the Christmas present Yuu made for him, which he doesn't open until he gets home cause his hands were too full when she gave him his present right before he went home.

It's thanks to that Christmas present that Yuu makes a good first impression on Grandma Bucchi cause, in addition to making some cute hyena print socks for Ruggie, she also prepare lots of dishes/snacks and placed them in a magical bag, which she got from Sam, that has limitless storage.

Yuu made sure to prepare enough food that Ruggie could share with everyone back home cause she wanted to do something nice for all the little kids in his neighborhood, and she knew that Ruggie would share his food with everyone since that's how things work with hyena Beastman, which he had told her about in the past.

The fact that Yuu was thinking of not just Ruggie but everyone else back home impressed Grandma Bucchi, and she was even more impressed when she saw how well made the food and socks were since this is the kinda skill one develops after a lot of hard work, and Grandma Bucchi likes hard workers.

It's obvious that Yuu cares a lot about Ruggie, and Grandma Bucchi can tell her grandson has a soft spot for Yuu in return, although he tries to hide it from her. That's why Grandma Bucchi has Ruggie tell her all about Yuu cause she wants to hear all about this girl who has gotten close to her grandson recently.

Plus, as Ruggie feared, she also just wants to tease her grandson about him being so friendly with a girl, whom she says could potentially make a nice wife. Poor Ruggie lol 😂

Despite her teasing, Grandma Bucchi still has some reservations about Yuu, so she's not completely won over by this point. She still needs to meet Yuu and see her in person before she decides how she'll feel about her, although I think, even after that, it would still be a slow and steady development.

Regarding how exactly Yuu would meet Grandma Bucchi, since I can't see Ruggie getting a hometown event, I'm thinking the only way for them to meet is when Yuu is in Sunset Savanna working for Leona, like what was discussed in my Fairy Gala fic.

I could see Leona inviting Yuu to the Sunset Savanna during her first summer at TW since, even though they're still students by this point, they can still do some work during that time since a lot of work needs to be done to accomplish Leona's goals which won't be fulfilled quickly.

During that time, I could see Yuu paying Ruggie a visit, probably at his insistence so he can confirm Leona isn't running her ragged like he does to him lol And that would be when Yuu finally meets Grandma Bucchi.

This would also be when Yuu meets all the kids in the neighborhood who all love her cause of the stories they heard from Ruggie and most importantly the food she makes that Ruggie brings home for them lol

Overall, I'd say Yuu's first meeting with Grandma Bucchi goes well cause she's polite/respectful, and it's obvious how much Yuu cares about Ruggie.

Plus, Grandma Bucchi thinks you can learn a lot about a person from how they interact with children, and Yuu passed that test with flying colors cause she loves children and is really good with them, which is why the neighborhood kids became even more attached to her.

While this first meeting still isn't enough to completely win her over, Grandma Bucchi definitely thinks higher of Yuu than she does most people, so just as long as Yuu doesn't mess things up, which she won't cause she wants to earn Grandma Bucchi's respect/approval so she can continue being friends with Ruggie, things should continue to proceed positively between Ruggie's two favorite ladies ^^

Name: Dreary

Nickname(s): Troublemaker, brat (Stolas), Lackey(Grim), Mouse(Ruggie), Rai(Epel)

Relative(s): None

Species: Blot creature

When Dreary was born, he couldn't feel or hear anything, but he could see. What he saw was endless blot, slowly emerging, forming into something new. He kept watching the blots change and form into horrifying things. And then he can hear, and the first time he got to listen to something, it was the screech of the creatures he called brothers. It was morbid, it sounded like they were in pain but he couldn't do anything, he didn't have a form to shield himself from the horrors Infront of him, so he endured it. Untill it was his turn to change, but he didn't want to turn into a monster, he wanted to be something gentle, something that can talk. He didn't know if that was allowed but he tried, he wanted to be kind.

So he separated himself from the blot form and looked for, what he considered gentle, humans.

There was this one family, a line of powerful magic users who he admired greatly for their determination and strength and he wanted to look like them and so he copied the first person he saw from that family. Trying with all his might to form into what he wished, fighting the blot that was trying to mangle his form and in the end succeeded. He didn't have their gray hair color, but he looked almost identical to the person he copied and for the first time in his life, he felt gentle.

Dreary grew to be really energetic, kind and sometimes clumsy. Making trouble wherever he went even though he doesn't mean to. He likes helping people in need and play childish games with other children.

When he arrived at NRC he wasn't called by the mirror, but was found by Crowley after getting caught roaming around the facility. He was skeptical about the fact that Crowley didn't seem to mind him and actually gave him a dorm to stay, which was ramshackle. Dreary feels like Crowley knew what he was, but didn't say anything.

Unique Magic: Filled with death

— This isn't actually a unique magic. It's his normal abilities disguised as one.

— He can absorb other blots, wether it's from a defeated blot creature or a student who overblotted.

— Doing too much would give painful faded black blots though, and he would forget himself sometimes, reverting back to being a mindless blot

Dorm: Ramshackle [dorm student]

Hobbies: strolling, sightseeing, reading, going into town, sleeping and playing.

Beat subject: History of magic

Favorite food: Custard

Least Favorite food: anything bitter

Hates: Caves, quiet, blot

Additional Information(s)

— Dreary knows of Stolas' ancestors as he lives long enough to see all of them

Hours in the Moonlight Master-List

I glanced over at Ruggie slightly, and he nodded his head in silence before pushing open the door to Leona’s room. He called out to the other man, but didn’t follow me as I walked in. And almost as soon as I’d entered, bright green eyes already had me pointed, almost rooting me to the spot with a single glance.

Leona sat up lethargically, his tail swishing through the air as he yawned, perfectly displaying his large fangs before he stared at me in undisguised disinterest as the door clicked shut behind me, “Got rid of your boss’s lackey, did you?”

He blinked at me lazily as I nodded, not entirely sure of how to start now that I was here. So instead, I just answered his question, “He wanted a report, but someone will be back in just a few days.”

He let out an unimpressed sound that was a bizarre cross between a grunt and a hum, “No surprise there.” 

I watched as he looked listlessly out the window, like none of this had anything to do with him. But as my gaze tracked his motions, I frowned slightly. Pondering the man in front of me before I continued, “They’re just going to keep coming until they’re satisfied with what I’ve found here.”

His ears twitched at my words, but there was no other motion from him as he responded in a nonchalant tone, “Then I guess you’d better get everything figured out then.”

I felt my frown deepen at his words. They were a not-so-subtle signal that he did not care about how things panned out for me. And in many rights, I couldn’t blame him. After all, none of this was really his mess, and he hardly knew me.

But his indifference also wasn't something I couldn’t accept. Because even if my situation didn't mean a thing to him, I needed his help if I was going to accomplish what Crowley wanted and to protect those important to me.

I stepped closer, subtly pushing him to listen as I spoke, “You have an interest in what’s going on with the vampires. Why not help figure all of this out?”

He turned, looking my way with a snort before he spoke, a grin curving across his face as his gaze collided with mine in a perfectly unforgiving fashion, “And what makes you think I have any interest in that?”

I listened silently as he continued from his reclined, utterly relaxed position. Doing my best not to grimace even as his words rang true, “I’m not the leader of this clan. My brother is. All I have to do is make sure everything doesn’t crumble to dust while he’s away.”

I stared him down, my hands clenching slightly as I stood firm while he smirked back at me. And I had to hand it to him. He was a good actor. 

If it weren’t for the fact that he’d intervened when I’d fought that vampire, like he wanted to save him, then I would have genuinely believed he didn’t care. After all, what he said was true. Nothing about this situation was in any way his to handle.

Though it had only been a few days, ever since I’d come to Savanaclaw Clan, I’d hardly seen him, and he really hadn’t seemed to care at all. But there was what Ruggie had told me when he’d led me here just moments ago.

“You don’t want to get on his bad side, Y/n. He’s been having Jack and me look out for you to keep you safe.”

At first I hadn’t believed the young man, but then I’d gotten to thinking about it. The way the vampires in the hallways eyed me with more than just curious interest or hostility. Because there was always that gleam in their eye. Like they saw something truly intriguing and perhaps even tempting.

And then there was the way I’d felt like I was being watched in the hallways, but could never find anyone staring at me.

Those things, paired with Ruggie’s words, were a reminder that I wasn’t just the vampire hunter. I was also a human that vampires seemed to find either appetizing or attractive. 

The difference wasn’t entirely clear, but based on past experience, something told me it wasn’t the latter. And in a clan, surrounded by vampires who would probably win in a fight despite all the training Rook had given me, the weapons strapped to my person, and Vil’s necklace hanging around my throat, it wasn’t a good thing to be appetizing.

I swallowed as I continued to hold Leona’s gaze, not backing down now that I’d chosen this fight, “On the night of my debut, you didn’t want me to kill that vampire.” 

My assertion caused the man to go still, a frown appearing on his face as I found myself stepping forward. Pushing whatever advantage it was that I may or may not have. No matter how slight it might be.

Because whether I felt uncomfortable or not, and whether this would be difficult or not, Crewel was right. I needed Leona on my side if I was going to get anywhere with this investigation of the Savannaclaw clan.

I was only sorry that I hadn’t started pushing for this sooner. Especially since I had no clue as to how to go about winning Leona’s trust.

“You tried to talk to him first. Like you wanted to help him,” I continued, praying that my evaluation of Leona’s actions from that night was right. But it really had seemed like that was the case. Like he’d wanted to bring that vampire back from the brink.

All smugness had completely faded from Leona's face as he held my stare, and he didn’t even move when he responded, “Even if that is the case, what good would helping you do for me?”

His tone was flat, unhesitating, and like a death nail in my plan. “I-” I faltered, grimacing slightly as I realized exactly how right he was as he stood.

And he walked towards me. Prowling forwards, as if he’d sensed the weakness in my argument the very instant he’d touched upon it.

“You’ve been hiding behind others all this time, Herbivore, and, from what I’ve seen, you barely have the skills to make it as a vampire hunter. Why would I pick an herbivore like you, who's been hiding behind a vampire all this time, as an ally?”

He was right in front of me now, mere inches away, and I felt myself go still at his words as I realized, with startling clarity, that he wasn’t talking about me letting Jack and Ruggie shield me from the Savanaclaw clan or even my using Crowley or my status as a vampire hunter for protection.

No, he was talking about Vil.

“You… You knew about Vil?” My voice was infinitely quiet as I faltered at the realization, but the possibilities frightened me. Because if he knew about Vil, how long had the clans known about me? 

I’d known Vil was shielding me from a good number of vampires when he’d declared my apartment was part of his turf, but had that number included the clans, of all things?

Surprise briefly danced through his too-bright green eyes before Leona grinned. Not the usual smirk that I’d already grown used to. No, it was a wide grin, filled with incredulous amusement. Like I’d just said the last thing he’d ever expected.

“We’ve known that Vil was keeping a pet long before you ever decided to become the Hunter. How could we not when your mere scent had vampires scurrying around like flies after fruit?”

I let myself take a single step backwards as I faltered once more under the weight of this revelation.

I’d thought only Crowley had known the specifics of my presence, but there were others?

“How long?” My voice was surprisingly firm as I met Leona’s gaze once more and his eyebrows lifted slightly.

But he just answered me, “Shortly before Halloween, two years ago.”

I looked away from him again as my brain raced to put together the details. Halloween, two years ago. That was when Rook had ensured me and Vil had met.

Had he known? Was that why he’d introduced us?

I distantly recalled Rook's words, my mind spiraling at the possibilities as they rang in my mind like a harsh echo, “Because you needed more protection than I could offer and he needed a friend.”

More protection than he could offer…. The Savanaclaw Clan on its own was huge; I couldn’t imagine the number of vampires that populated all of the clans. It had to be immense and easily more than Rook could have handled on his own.

I swallowed under Leona’s stare. It was a gaze that reminded me of the night I debuted. Weighing, judging, but patient.

But I met his green-eyed stare once more. Determination welling up within me as I realized exactly how long I’d been being protected without even realizing how much danger I’d been in. 

I would have to talk to both Vil and Rook about this, but I had something else to do first. I still had to win over Leona.

Turnabout's fair-play, and it was past time for me to start taking care of those who’d been protecting me for so long. Even if it meant having to solve a mystery that even those who were in charge of an entire district of vampires didn’t know the answer too.

“You asked what good me helping you would be. I may not be the best at the job, but I am still the vampire hunter and in charge of this area because of Crowley.” Leona’s eyebrows rose, but he didn’t interrupt as I continued. Offering him the only thing I could.

“I won’t ‘handle’ any of your clan’s vampires before you have a chance to try and help them or do whatever it was you were trying to do that night. And when I figure this entire mess out, you’ll be one of the first to know.”

He crossed his arms, looking fairly unimpressed as I prayed that he’d accept. I knew it wasn’t a good deal, but it was all I had.

“And then? If you get all of the cause of the insanity figured out? What will you do then?” His words surprised me. But it was then I understood.

All this time, he’d been measuring me. Deciding how worthwhile I really was.

I held his stare as I answered, “Then I end it. I’ll eradicate the source if that’s what it takes.”

A grin stretched across his face, his canines, larger than those that Vil had, glinting in the moonlight that shone through the window as his eyes practically glowed in the darkness, “Perhaps you’re tougher than you seemed.”

Why Leona and Vil get treated differently – and why not everything is always about race

Yeah yeah, it’s been a long time since this discourse happened... not. Because apparently we’re beating this horse even after it’s deader than Cater’s clones. Somehow this stupid conversation keeps getting rekindled over and over and over and over again, and I’m just so tired so I’m just gonna put my thoughts down so that the next time I get caught up in it, I’ll have this post at the ready. Read at your own risk, this may trigger some people, especially those who claim the only reason anyone would ever dislike Leona is his skin color and not, you know, everything he does.

Leona’s murder attempt was pre-meditated. Unlike Vil, Leona spent quite a long time planning out everything he did in episode 2. He made sure the injuries happened in a way that couldn’t be linked back to him and that nobody could see Ruggie while he was using his unique magic. When it came to the actual murder, he even made a deal with Azul to ensure the event venue was set up in a certain way and that Ruggie got a potion to boost his magic before the whole thing started. Vil, on the other hand, snapped under momentary pressure, and didn’t spend weeks planning how to murder a rival over a competition.

Leona was ready to go through with it. I see a lot of people conveniently ignoring this but someone actually did die during Leona’s murder attempt – Cater’s clones did. Now, whether or not clone lives count as actual lives is irrelevant at the moment because all that matters is that Leona didn’t stop until there were bodies on the ground. Remember he watched the whole thing. He knew what was going on and when to stop. On the other hand, Vil immediately stopped the second a new element was introduced that snapped him out of whatever he was going on. Which brings me to my next point.

Leona acted with full clarity. Unlike Vil, Leona was fully in control the whole time. Vil was in a haze of reliving his past trauma, a haze that he snapped out of the second someone other than his target spoke to him. Leona, while motivated by past trauma, was fully in control of his actions.

Leona never showed any growth. This may be a controversial point for some people. And I understand that Leona is older than most of the other characters, however that does not make him stubbornly refusing to admit he did anything wrong any less jarring. Everyone showed tangible visible growth after their overblot, except Leona.

We are clear on what Leona wanted. With Vil, we never got a clear-cut confirmation that he was out for blood. We know something unsavory would’ve happened to Neige if he drank the apple juice, but truth is, it was never explicitly stated that he would die (if it was in EN, then just chuck that on the pile of things EN ruined). People just jumped to assuming murder because that’s what we’ve seen before and because Vil is associated with poinsons.

And when it comes to how their attempts were handled in-universe, let’s take a look at that.

Leona got called out by Lilia. It was vicious and rude, yes. Was it racist of Lilia to tear into Leona? No. No part of Lilia’s insults had to do with Leona’s race. He compared Leona with Malleus and evaluated which one of them has a personality more suited for a leader – the answer should be clear if you consider which one of them committed murder over a sports contest. This was also after Leona attempted to murder Lilia’s son, his son’s best friend, and a person he’s been taking care of for decades, or possibly even longer. Leona is lucky Lilia is no longer in his general days otherwise he’d likely be made into a throwrug, how handsome is up to your personal tastes. However, Leona’s call-out ended there with no further consequences other than being disqualified from the contest.

Vil got called out by nearly the entirety of the VDC group. Granted, it wasn’t that vicious or rude, but that’s because it didn’t get personal with anyone. Had he killed Neige, it wouldn’t personally affect any of the VDC group members. While Rook is a huge fan of Neige’s, that’s as far as it goes. However, Vil had lasting consequences from this lapse of judgement. You can find my full analysis of that mess here. That alone makes fans less eager to harp on him, since it at least feels like he got what he deserved – or possibly even more – while Leona gets to walk free with one verbal scolding.

Lastly, if you’re here to tell me to kms or harass me, do us both a favor and just click block and hide. I’ve got enough of that to the point where I just roll my eyes and block you back without it really affecting me. You’re just wasting your time as well as mine. You can think Lilia calling out Leona for murder was racist but at that point, you’re just willing to use skin color as a free get out of consequences card, and I have no desire to talk to people like that.

If you agree, feel free to share, if you’d like to respectfully debate, I’m 100% down for that too, just know that I tend to be pretty stubborn😅

Edit: If you are here to talk about wider fandom treatment of dark-skinned characters, that isn't what this post is about so please just make your own. This post is about a specific situation. Of course, there will always be bad people who judge people and characters based on skin color, but let's not act like everyone who dislikes Leona does so for those reasons. There's plenty of differences between his and Vil's situation that can make people like one and dislike the other without being racially charged. THAT is the point of this post.

3. “You got me flowers”?

8. “It’s better with you here.”

A. Baking pumpkin pie with Leona

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

🍂 You caught a nasty cold that was spreading among the NRC student body on campus as the season changed from a warm summer to a chilly fall.

🍂 You didn’t want Leona to catch your cold, so you told him you wouldn’t see him or any of your friends until you got better.

🍂 You also sent Grim to stay at Heartslabyul for a few days so that Grim wouldn’t catch your cold either.

🍂 However, you were bummed because you wanted to bake pumpkin pie with Leona at Ramshackle. You were looking forward to baking pumpkin pie with Leona once the fall season started.

🍂 The Ramshackle Ghosts took care of you, making sure you drank plenty of water and took the required medicines. All three of the ghosts cooked a large pot of hearty noodle soup for you as well.

🍂 Leona missed you terribly, making him more visibly grumpy at Savanaclaw.

🍂 Leona had his phone next to him at all times, and would snatch his phone every time he got a notification only to say “Tch” when it was just an app notification. He didn’t want to call you a lot throughout the day either because he knew that you needed rest.

🍂 Ruggie was always shocked to find that Leona would be gone from Savanaclaw in the mornings. Leona would go to Ramshackle every morning before you woke up to give the Ramshackle ghosts some medicine that Leona asked his royal family’s physician to send him (even though you only had a cold), porridge from Mr. S’s Mystery Shop, or one of his thick, brown-and-gold patterned blankets.

🍂 In his packages to you, Leona would also include little notes he wrote in neat cursive.

🍂 Such messages would read: “Hope ya like the porridge and snacks I got you. I miss you.” The written messages got longer and more detailed as the days passed: “Today, Cheka came to visit me. He was sad that he couldn’t see you, so we picked some flowers for you from the Botanical Garden. I also left you a drawing that Cheka made for you. Love you.”

🍂 Your smile widened when you rummaged through the bag Leona gave the ghosts today, taking out a drawing of stick figures of you, Cheka, and Leona with “Get well soon!” written in messy crayon handwriting in your favorite color (the cub had asked his “Oji-tan” Leona to spell “Get well soon” for him).

🍂 You then took out the carefully wrapped bouquet of yellow-orange chrysanthemums, lavender asters, and rosy dahlias. Your sense of smell was returning, and the fragrant scents of the flowers wafted up your nose.

🍂 You missed hearing Leona’s voice, so you grabbed your phone on your bedside table and video-called Leona.

🍂 Leona picked up on the first ring and laid back against his bed’s polished oak headboard. The familiar sight of Leona with his dashing smirk and emerald gems for eyes (which sparkled at the sight of you) made you feel a lot better.

🍂 “You got me flowers?” You hugged the bouquet to your chest with one hand while your other hand angled your phone so that Leona could see you with the flowers.

🍂 “Yeah,” Leona couldn’t stop the smile growing on his face at seeing your face. Before he could ask you how you were feeling, Cheka’s fluffy light-brown lion ears popped up on Leona’s phone screen.

🍂 “Y/N! I miss you!” Cheka pressed his button nose against Leona’s phone screen. Leona gently pulled the cub away from the screen, and Cheka laid his head against Leona’s shoulder.

🍂 “I miss you too, Cheka! Thank you for the drawing and flowers, I love them,” you beamed, showing Cheka the flowers.

🍂 “Hey, I picked most of the flowers,” Leona grumbled, turning to his side to face away from Cheka to have some alone time on video call with you.

🍂 The cub pounced on Leona’s side to see you, his tiny arms resting on Leona’s muscled arm.

🍂 “Y/N, Y/N! I wanted to eat the bugs on the flowers, but Oji-tan took them off and told me they’re not tasty and safe. Have you eaten bugs before?”

🍂 You chuckled, wishing you had seen Cheka trying to eat bugs and Leona stopping him.

🍂 “I have not, but I agree with your uncle that they’re probably not tasty or safe. You wouldn’t want to get a tummy ache, right, Cheka?”

🍂 Cheka tapped a finger to his chin, contemplating for a bit before answering your question. “Yeah, I don’t want a tummy ache!” Leona turned to look at his nephew, wondering who told Cheka that bugs were tasty and safe to eat.

🍂 After chatting a bit with Cheka and Leona, you grew tired and needed to rest once more. Cheka gave you a goodbye kiss through Leona’s phone, telling Leona to do the same. “Oji-tan, you have to give Y/N a kiss! Mama and Papa told me that kisses make everything better!”

🍂 “...Alright, alright.” Leona brought the phone screen to his face, making a quick and slight kissy face at you. “Mwah.”

🍂 Cheka giggled at his “Oji-tan”’s funny expression. Leona quickly ended the call before you could screenshot Leona’s attempt at a kissy face.

🍂 On the day you pretty much recovered from your cold, you called Leona. He was at your dorm in five minutes with a large brown paper bag in his hands. His lion tail wagged behind him as you opened the door.

🍂 Leona stepped into the foyer of Ramshackle, heading straight to your kitchen without giving you a hug or a kiss.

🍂 “What’s in the bag?” you followed him, peering at the bag in Leona’s arms.

🍂 “Ingredients for pumpkin pie. You wanted to bake a pumpkin pie together when fall started, right?” Leona already made his way into the tiny Ramshackle kitchen. “Now we can.”

🍂 After setting down the bag on the kitchen table, Leona turned around and enveloped you in a hug. His arms wrapped around your waist while your arms naturally found their way around his broad shoulders.

🍂 “I missed you,” Leona mumbled into your hair before pressing kisses onto your cheek.

🍂 “I missed you too,” you cupped his cheeks in your hands, causing Leona to nuzzle his right cheek against your left palm. “I loved everything you brought for me these past few days, especially your notes and the bouquet. I hated not being able to talk to you or see you in person. It’s better with you here.”

🍂 “Of course it is,” Leona teased, grinning as the two of you laid out the ingredients to make the pumpkin pie.

🍂 Baking with Leona turned out to be a really efficient process since he treated it like a science experiment, making sure that all the measurements for the sugar, pumpkin purée, and such were accurate.

🍂 Still, Leona had one arm around your waist the whole time, clinging to you more than the bits of stray pumpkin purée on your’s and his faces. It was funny seeing an electric mixer get the best of Leona, who didn’t know how to use it at first and accidentally turned the speed up too high when trying to mix the pumpkin purée mixture for the pie.

🍂 You couldn’t contain your giggles when Leona sneezed at the strong scents of pumpkin spice and cinnamon. He kept saying that he didn’t understand the “herbivore hype of pumpkin spice.”

🍂 Soon, a perfectly-baked pumpkin pie filled Ramshackle with the comforting scents of pumpkin and cinnamon. The pie sat on the kitchen table to cool next to a vase of still-fresh flowers, the ones that Leona gave you just days ago.

🍂 The kitchen also filled with your and Leona’s laughter as the two of you tried to wipe off bits of pumpkin purée from earlier off of each other’s faces.

Little notes:

🍓 Flowers I chose were chrysanthemums, asters, and dahlias. According to Google, these are all fall season flowers and here’s what they each symbolize:

🍓 Chrysanthemums: well-being (Leona wishing for your well-being and speedy recovery from your cold)

🍓 Asters: love (because Leona loves you hehe)

🍓 Dahlias: commitment (How Leona would drop off notes and packages everyday for you early in the mornings)

🍓 Also, Cheka thinking that bugs could be tasty are a reference to The Lion King (1994) when Simba was taught to eat bugs from Pumbaa and Timon :)

IDEA

the kalim harem started with just the light music club being a poly (lila x cater x kalim x esther)

hcs on how that happened and also a concert thats used as a way to announce that to kalims parents?? what sons would be played ;ooo

Okay first off, I'm making a fic saga now

And I also made a playlist

Lets say some of these songs he sung to his partners or during concerts

And final now that Esther is in this ship, I lowkey want to add Arie in too so the first few headcanons are of their dates!

Esther and Kalim's date was to see the stars. Like magic carpet ride and then a picnic on top of the entire island where the stars are the brightest and he brought as much of their favorite foods

Arie's and Kalim's date was a stroll in town and Arie kept trying to hint hint on the date and Kalim, sweet heart, was missing the signs and didn't even try to kiss him until he asked by the end of the date and Arie's just- "Bro why is he so cute?! I feel bad thinking things now!"

I can see the band club being the first open poly relationship with Kalim since everyone who comes to visit sees Kalim holding someone's hand or sitting on their lap or one soul caught Cater and him kissing at the drums

It started kind of like how the original post but either way the others didn't confess yet or they did and they're all taking it very slow but Lilia, Cater, and Esther were like "Mmm yeah now I don't think I'll do that"

Jamil used to be very annoyed by this whole thing and lowkey highkey jealous, no matter how much he acts like it doesn't bother him

Things changed after Kalim, after talking to his bandmates/lovers first, asked everyone out and the dates happened the same just different

Some parents lowkey knew before they came out cause of certain things

Like a picture of Kalim in the Sunset Savannah get up is Ruggie's screensaver and his grandma teases him like "Well who's that cutie?"

Epel once joined a video call to home and forgot he stole one of Jamil's hoodies and was wearing it

Sebek just accidentally outed himself when his siblings teased him about something and he went "How do you know that!?"

Now with Esther involved, RIP everyone's necks and thighs-

I was about thinking adding Rielle in the mix since he is mentioned but I decided against but COULD YOU IMAGINE THE GROUP IF ISAAC WAS IN IT?!

NOW CONCERT~!

The show was a sell out and fast

All the families of every partner are there and the school rented (with Kalim's and Leona's money help) the biggest concert hall and any transportation prices for everyone to be there

Kalim been wanting to come out publicly about his relationship for a while and this is his dream way with his favorite people consenting coming out all though a lot of them (ie Riddle, Ace, Jamil, and Rollo) were still nervous of the outcome.

They started the show with the favorites

Before Kalim took the mic as they all swap instruments with a smile

"Is everyone having a great time?!"

Is met with cheers

"Well that's good. Today's concert is very special to me and to...well everyone... The next songs are a bit inspired by the big surprise."

Then he and them sang these songs all while the lovers knew what inspired him

When it got to They Don't Know About Us he allowed a slideshow of his time at NRC, the friends he made, the choices he made, the friends he made outside of NRC, before they slowly started to show his more cute romance pictures and videos of him with his partners either one on one cuddling and kissing or group activities like watching a movie or partying at Scarabia

Many people were confused until they slowly pieces it together and went "Ooooooooh"

After the song ended Kalim went back to the mic, came out and announced he's in a polyarmous relationship and used his magic to give each of his lovers a flower from the sky

After the show ended Kalim disappeared and Jamil was informed his family wanted to talk to him. He got worried and went to find him, stopping for a moment to drag Riddle cause "Your mum sucks follow me so we can find Kalim"

Kalim got chewed out by his own parents for being "very disgusting" or his "vulgar display" and say if he wants polygamy he could've just asked, they could set up a harem for him even.

Kalim responded with, "But I don't want polygamy. With polygamy I just have many wives, and a harem's job is to just do sexual things with higher heads. I'm happy with the polyarmous relationship I have now, we all love each other-" And he almost got slapped just for saying that until Jamil came in with Riddle

Kalim's father slapped Jamil instead cause "blame the lower class" but luckily Azul stepped in fast like "Uh excuse you that's my boyfriend you're hitting"

Kalim's family soon left with hisses that Kalim should choose the right decision in life

Kalim was sad yeah but he just shrugged and said, "well i choose love" and accepted Azul's smooches and holds Jamil close while Kalim holds both Jamil's and Azul's hands

Yeah Vil, Floyd, Arie, and Leona wanted to kill Kalim's dad after seeing the bruise on Jamil's face

The group rejoined in Scarabia where the dorm did a little surprised "congratulations for coming out to your family and the world through Cater's Neige's and Vil's livestreams" party

They all ate, drank, chatted, snuggled, danced, and by the end of the party they went to Kalim's room and had a massive sleep over/cuddle pile with some of the party's left over foods and drinks (Arie snuck in the good shit don't worry)

Dancing not so gracefully~ Ruggie ver.

Notes: Ruggie x female reader, romantic, fluff, Yuu is from the manga, cha cha, dancing

You knew Ruggie wasn’t much of a dancer as he was a dinner, but you still wished to dance with him. Although you asked him once before, you didn’t want to force Ruggie into dancing because that wouldn’t be fun for either of you two. Walking over to the dancefloor you were soon interrupted by Yuu. Turns out he was watching you the whole time and after seeing how upset you were he decided to take matters into his own hands.

Yuu: Hold up! You: Hmm? Yuu, is there something wrong? Yuu: Why don’t you try asking Ruggie one last time. You: Nah, I’m sure he’s in too deep eating. Plus, he looks so happy eating. I… don’t want to take that away from him… Yuu: Then… Oi! Ruggie! *Ruggie walks over* Dance with me. Ruggie: Dance? …

Before Ruggie had any time to reject the offer he was already pulled into a cha cha with Yuu. Entertained by the idea you continued to watch the two, until Rook pulled you into dancing the cha cha as well.

Rook: Don’t worry about the steps, just follow the rhythm and me!

You hadn’t danced in a long time, but you enjoyed every moment. So much that you briefly forgot about Ruggie dancing without you. Remembering that thought once more your face changed from happy to sad in an instant. Noticing this, Rook twirled you once more and allowed his warmth to leave yours.

Turns out the warmth would cover you once more, but it wasn’t the same. Instead of it being Rook it had been Ruggie. Seems like Yuu and Rook had planned this whole thing. While you were happy you got to dance with Ruggie you still felt insecure about him not being able to eat.

You: Ruggie, if you want to you can return to eating. I don’t want to hold you back, so really, I’m okay if you want to le-

Suddenly you felt a warmth cross over your lips. Tearing away from the fuzzy sensation you came face to face with an apologetic Ruggle.

Ruggie: Listen, I wasn’t clear on my intentions tonight. Actually, I can’t dance. I barely know how to move my feet. Rook is actually using his magic on me to move like this. I’m embarrassed to tell you this, but before I knew it Yuu caught on to me. Don’t worry though, I’ll make up for it tonight~

Turning his face to the side to prevent you from seeing his blush, you decided to reassure him in your own way.
