—”why do you stick around? what is it you think you see in me?”

There are many times when Riddle believes himself to be undeserving of love. Who can blame him? For much of his childhood, he was taught that love was something to be earned, something to be achieved. He couldn’t be loved if he was a failure of a son that couldn’t keep up with his mother’s strict expectations, and the moment he had a taste of freedom, he learned how devastating love could be when he saw the tyrant and monster he had become with the power he had been granted.

He finds it difficult to see what others see in him. He works hard to better himself, to find the same level of empathy and charm that everyone else does, but Riddle feels like he’s still fumbling at times. The wary glances and the whispers of his Overblot that people share around are hard to ignore after a while, and Riddle wonders if any of the affection people show him are as real as they claim it is.

Your persistence at making your heart known is what keeps him grounded. When everyone else is gone and frolicking on their own, you’re the one who lingers behind and makes sure to bring him along with you. The way you hold his hand is gentle and kind, and the words of encouragement you whisper to him are enough to send him into a blissful trance where he truly believes he can do anything he sets his heart to. You’re the only one who ever sees good in him, and he’s terrified to lose you.

Riddle knows that you have no rules or standards for him, and he knows that all you want for him is to see him happy and by your side. Still, he wants to do his best so that he doesn’t fail you, even if you remind him time and time again that love isn’t transactional. He’s learning what it means to love, and as bewildered as he is about it, as long as you stay patient with him, he’s bound to return that love you’ve initially showed him back tenfold.

“I can’t tell if you’re foolish or plain masochistic for dedicating yourself to someone like me. You deserve someone better, like a prince, rather than the child I am. But still... if you’ll have me, then I promise to be yours forever.”

—”i need you. don’t you get that?”

Ace is a prideful boy—there’s no denying that much. He toes the line between mischief and trouble day-in and day-out, but he rationalizes it by saying that that’s the best way for him to grow. He isn’t the type of guy who can just sit around and absorb information; he needs to dive headfirst into whatever’s going on, even if it brings more trouble than he can handle. But still, he tries to manage it all on his own. What kind of successful mage is he going to be if he can’t even take baby steps by himself?

That explains why he’s so dumbfounded when he realizes how badly he’s fallen for you. He’s used to being the one playing around with people’s feelings: getting out of trouble with his perfected puppy eyes, not really caring about how other people might feel around him, doing whatever he pleased with his smug attitude. But none of that works on you, and for the first time in his life, Ace is stuck and caught between all the feelings he has growing inside of you and the attention you aren’t giving him. 

He doesn’t want to cave and admit that there’s someone out there who can make him this weak, but Ace sincerely doesn’t know how much longer he can go with you being so oblivious to his obvious crush. Ace feels like he’s nothing more than a little boy running after your heels for a scrap of love, one that you’re not even willing to toss to him. He doesn’t care though—he’ll keep trying and trying, because one day, you’re bound to notice him. 

He just hopes that somewhere deep in your heart and soul, you’ll have a special place set aside for him. You aren’t obligated to love him back by any means, but maybe, just maybe, if he tries hard enough, you’ll be charmed by his persistence and the genuine feelings he’s cultivated and harbored towards you. And if there’s one thing Ace knows best, it’s being ridiculously stubborn until he gets what his devilish heart desires. He can only hope that such a day will come to him soon.

“You’re really mean, did you know that? Here I am trying so hard to win you over, and you don’t even notice... One day, I’ll make you see just how much of a good guy I am!”

—”keep your eyes on me—just focus on me. we’re gonna be okay.”

Deuce wants nothing but the best: for himself, for those around him, and for you. The kind of love that Deuce wants is one that’ll make him feel at home and let him be himself, a kind of love that he wants to share with someone of a pure heart and generous mind. He knows that those boundaries and vague, and he’s willing to change for the sake of love. But something like that is what he craves most, no matter what life might throw his way.

So that’s what he promises you. He doesn’t believe in holding secrets from you when you reciprocate his feelings and enter a relationship with him. He wants to be honest with you, and if you’re comfortable with it, Deuce wants to know every little thing about you too. He wants the bond between the two of you to be stronger than steel and more true than the love of fairy tales. Even if he feels a bit childish at times for believe that, Deuce genuinely has faith that small things like these are the foundation for his happiness.

Even when trouble arises and cracks form, Deuce is true and good to you. He holds you and comforts you through all the troubles you might have, and whenever life bears its fangs at you, Deuce keeps you steady and helps you with everything he’s got. He knows you’ll do the same to him and show him the same unconditional support that he does, so he wholeheartedly extends his help to you whenever you need it, no matter how small the issue may seem.

When all is said and done, Deuce will remind you that he’s proud of you with a big smile and an even bigger hug. Life won’t ever be easy, but hopefully with you by his side, you both can grow as people and learn to balance everything as you mature. He wants nothing more than to keep you safe and make you feel comforted, so he promises himself to be the best version that he can be for your well-being. He’s so lucky to have someone as loving as you.

“We got this. Stay with me, and we can do anything we set our hearts to. We’ll be alright, and before you know it, everything will be back to normal again. Trust me, okay?”

—”if people can hate for no reason, then i can love for no reason too.”

Love is such an odd subject for Sebek. On one hand, he understands that it’s a part of life no one can deny or pretend that it doesn’t exist, but on the other, he doesn’t quite understand how people are so quick to give up whatever they have for a taste of it. Sebek is smart, rational, and while emotionally volatile, he isn’t an idiot. While he can respect the concept of love, he wonders if such a thing is for him to begin with. Love seems so fickle and so taciturn as of late, and the quick hookups and fleeting feelings aren’t for him.

When he first feels the tickles of something other than disgust and apathy that he feels towards the other mediocre students, Sebek panics. He tries to deal with his emotions rationally, as he’s always done, but when they fail to subside, he realizes that he’s dealing with something so much more than what he’s prepared for. Whenever you’re around, he turns into a bumbling, loud fool, and while you don’t seem to think any less of him for doing so, Sebek wants to present nothing less than the best side of himself to you.

Eventually, the rest of his dorm swoop in to lend a helping hand. It’s actually debatable as to much help they really are, but Lilia is thrilled to see that Sebek’s fallen in love with someone unexpected. They cheer him on to court you—albeit they might throw a few pranks in to play off of Sebek’s naïveté—but they have his back. The entirety of Diasomnia’s invested into seeing how their young, human-hating first year’s love story will play out, and they all hope that it’ll have the same sort of happy ending success story that Sebek’s parents have.

Sebek learns that sometimes love doesn’t need to have the rigid hierarchies and patterns that he’s studied for all his life. Love from the beginning is meant to be irrational and unpredictable, and as long as you’re there to catch him on the other side, Sebek trusts you enough to take the leap of faith. It feels good to know he can let loose and love fiercely, furiously, and ferociously—the way you have loved and waited for him patiently the entire time.

“I like you a lot. I’ve liked you for a long time, if I’m being honest. I know it sounds weird coming from someone like me, but I really do. I would never lie to you, no matter how I feel. I hope I’m not overstepping by asking you if you like me too?”

3rd POV

🌷Y/N stood still, the door slightly ajar, being cautious, focused on not being seen. Her breath hitched, her heart beating through her ears. Her knuckles turned white as she grasped the handle leading ti the boy. A loud silence fell upon everyone, the sudden downpour from being the only sound breaking the piercing silence.

🌺She looked at the guards standing besides the door, Y/N tilted her head to the side signaling for them to guard the main doors of the palace instead. She hesitantly held her knuckles above the door, afraid that maybe just maybe she would make the situation more worse than it already is. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, calming her nerves,p feeling her heart beat faster than normal. With a sigh, she opened the door to see the boys staring at her.

🌸Y/N looked at them, her eyes wandering around the room until she met eyes with Jimin. They stared at each other for a while, Jimin soon then ripped his gaze away from her, Y/N gulped wondering if he was mad at her. No, she knew he was mad at her. “I know you were eavesdropping.” Y/N gulped, looking down on shame and feeling her face heat up. Yoongi scoffed at her, pleased from how she cowered the moment she heard his voice. “Were you not taught not to listen to someone else’s conversation that doesn’t involve you?”

🌷Y/N scoffed, rolling her eyes at her husband, not giving a damn about his title. “Oh. But I’m sure I was involved considering you were talking about ME.” Yoongi walked away from his position, storming across the room towards her. Gripping her chin between his fingers, he tilted her head up, looking into her eyes and not minding their close proximity. “Now, why would you have a problem about my fellow allies and I talking about my beautiful wife? Or should I say my Empress?” Y/N’s eyes widened as Yoongi had confidently blurted out her secret.

🌺From the corner of her eyes she saw Jimin looking down, his knuckles turning white, figure taking a shaky deep breath. She felt her heart break for the vulnerable man, the vulnerable she can’t help but to love. Namjoon trailed where her gaze was and saw Jimin, breaking the silence, he clapped his hands. “Now, it is dark outside. The festival is today and the townspeople are getting ready. We should get going, ignore the problems for right now and celebrate. Yoongi, Jimin, and Y/N please stay behind. I need to speak to you privately.”

🌸Everyone else left, passing by Y/N offering her a small smile as they’ve come to find out a lot about her in a short amount of time. Taehyung stopped in front of Y/N with a harsh gaze, her looking down as he was still an emperor. Arms hugging her tight surprised her, realizing that the person was Taehyung, she hugged him back even though she had only met him. “I’m glad you’re my sister. If they cause you any problem just shout my name and Jin Hyung and I will rescue you, princess.” Y/N chuckled, letting each other go and separating ways.

🌷The door shut behind Y/N leaving her with her brother and two important people in her life. “Would you mind explaining what Yoongi meant when he called you his queen, Y/N?” Namjoon sat down on his seat, confused as to what was going on, confused as to why it felt like Jimin had to be part of this as well. Yoongi sat at the other of the long table, opposite of a Namjoon and Jimin, sighing as he already wanted this meeting to be over. Y/N looked at Yoongi, her eyes begging for help as she didn’t know whether or not to admit or deny Yoongi’s claim. “I was just joking around, Joon. Don’t take it too seriously.”

🌺Jimin scoffed at the words that came out of Yoongi’s mouth. “That’s bullshit, Yoongi Hyung. You know that.” Yoongi glared at him, crossing his arms, amused at the younger one’s response. “What bullshit, Jimin? We’ve known each other our whole lives. You know me, a jokester. Why can’t you take a joke? Were you actually scared I took your supposed woman? Weren’t you the one begging to fuck one of my whores when you came to my palace a couple days ago? A specific whore at that...Eunhye? Was it?” Jimin froze in his spot, his gaze now softer, filled with pity, focusing on Y/N and saw how her mouth was slightly ajar, probably due to the shock of hearing what Jimin had been doing.

🌸Namjoon sighed as his two best friends were arguing over something irrelevant. His gaze went to Y/N as the two other men continued to bicker back and forth, cursing each other out. Namjoon approached Y/N and put his hand on top of her shoulders making Y/N flinch. She looked at her supposed brother with saddened eyes, smiling bitterly at him she decided not to say anything fearing that she will break down the moment she opens her mouth.

🌷Namjoon took her hand and dragged her out of the room no longer caring for the two imbeciles he both considered best friends. Y/N mindlessly followed also no longer wanting to be in the same room with Jimin and Yoongi. After being dragged for a few minutes, she suddenly bumped into Namjoon’s back startling her in the process. She looked up only to see that he took her to the throne room. Y/N looked at him confused as to why he had brought her here out of all places and instead of celebrating the festival

🌺Namjoon looked at her and gestured for her to go in first. Fire suddenly illuminated the thrown room, the hallway getting brighter and brighter as the guards lit up the torches. Getting to the last to pair of torches, three thrones emerged from the dark, one that being bigger than the other two. “Appa...uh gave me his thrown. Though, I don’t know why. I thought that his throne would best suit Jin Hyung. However, even Jin Hyun didn’t want it, he told me that it was mine and always was.” Y/N looked at him and smiled, chuckling lightly. “Hey! What do you mean you don’t know! You’ve always been a leader, Joon. Ever since we were kids, you always were. Every time the three of us would go on an adventure, you would lead us to places. Not even the guards could do that so they had to follow you too!” Namjoon laughed loudly, remembering their antics as children, reminiscing the good memories.

🌸He remembered how they would always meet up, at one point he couldn’t hide it from his dad, excitedly telling him of his newly found friend, his reaction when he put the puzzle pieces together that you were their sister. “You’re going to have your thrown up there in a couple days. I’ve already told the blacksmiths to design you a thrown. That is if you’d like to stay here, my dear sister.” Y/N didn’t know what to answer. She had always known that she was welcomed in this kingdom, in the palace, she even had her own chambers. But to be an princess was something she was not ready for

🌷”Is there something wrong, Y/N?” Namjoon looked at her in worry, his gaze following hers. She was staring at the gigantic family portrait hung up above the thrones. Her father’s and her brothers’ individual portraits along with the portraits of past Kim emperors. “Why is your mom’s portrait not there?” Namjoon furrowed his eyebrows, realizing she was trying to avoid his question. “Don’t avoid the question, Y/N. Does it have something to do with what Yoongi had ‘jokingly’ mentioned back there? Are you really an Empress now?” Y/N seethed in anger at the mention of the bastard’s name. “No! I am merely a concubine.”

🌺Namjoon shook his head knowing his sister didn’t understand the full picture. “Y/N, you’re not a commoner. You are a princess. When an Emperor marries a royal, they become an Empress ruling his kingdom with him until their death, just like the sayings in the vows.” Namjoon walked up to his throne, tracing it with his fingertips, remembering looking up at his dad from his lap as a child whenever he sat down to deal with problems. “You can choose to stay here, while also being an Empress for the Min Empire and as a princess for the Kim Empire or you can choose to stay in the Min Empire. Either way, it’s a win-win situation as you do not lose any of your titles. The decision is yours.” Y/N felt as if the world was crumbling beneath her, so much has had happened all at once

🌸”But I don’t love Yoongi. I love Jimin. I don’t want to live in an empire with someone I do not love. I do not want to rule a kingdom where I feel like I don’t belong. I want to break my oath to Yoongi. I want to be with Jimin” Namjoon’s eyes widened at his sisters sudden statement. His eyes wandering around to see if any government officials were present. “Are you insane? Y/N, once you oath yourself to someone you cannot, and I repeat, cannot break it. If you publicly announced that you want to break the oath because you’re in love with someone else it will leave you headless.” Y/N wish he said the exact opposite, was Jimin worth it?

🌷”I know what you’re thinking, Y/N. I want you to listen. Jimin isn’t the one for you and-“ Y/N interrupted him, completely annoyed with everyone has been saying around her.

“How do you know what’s best for me?! Does EVERYONE happen to know what’s best for me except for myself?! I love Jimin and you can’t change-“

“He’s cheated on you multiple times, Y/N!”

Y/N froze in her spot, her mouth ajar, eyed as wide as saucers, stuttering, trying to process everything. Everything that happens and is happening.

🌺”No. Jimin told me he loved me. I may be pathed to Yoongi but Jimin is the one who owns my heart.” Namjoon sighed, rolling his eyes at Y/N who had always been hard-headed. “Jimin...I don’t know if he told you or if you’re aware at least...Jimin has a whore for every empire. Yoongi’s, ours, Hosoek’s, and Jungkook’s. You’re not the only woman beside his mom in his life.” Y/N couldn’t understand, well, she refused to listen and understand. He let his words go in one ear and out the other. “Yoongi..., he is a good man, Y/N. Don’t let rumors of him mess up your perspective of him. For Jimin, as much as I consider him my brother, he’s only been playing you this whole time. I’m sorry. I know you love him. We’ve known for a long while that you two were involved with each other. But now that the announcement that you and Yoongi are married, it can’t continue. I will make sure Jimin is not within 6 feet of you.”

🌸Y/N’s uneven breathing was heard throughout the massive room, her knees giving up on her eventually collapsing and her sobs became more loud and clear. Her nails forming crescents on the palm on her hands on how tight her fist was. She didn’t mind the pain, the pain that hurt the most was the heart break. She shook her head vigorously, denying her brother’s claims. “No brother would say that to me. No brother would make up lies just for her to stay away from someone she loves.”

🌷Namjoon sighed again, confused as to why his sister won’t believe him. “If you think I’m lying to you just to make you stay with Yoongi and leave Jimin then...then that’s up to you. I’ll leave you to talk with the government officials. If they ever mention you, I’ll say that you speak for yourself because clearly I can’t speak for you. I won’t ever speak for you ever again. You’re an Empress now, Y/N, whether or not you want to be. This was your destiny. Now let’s walk on our own paths because now you have your own that you want to walk by yourself in.”

“No, wait, Namjoon-“

“I presume I will see you at the festival, Princess Y/N. If not, good night.”

🌺When the door closed she didn’t run off after her brother even though she knew she was in the wrong. But she couldn’t control her feelings. She hated him. She felt more immense hatred for Yoongi. She hated herself and she hated Jimin. But she hated her Emperor more. She looked at the portrait of her dad, sitting in his thrown in his hanbok with a smile on his face, the only emperor who had a smile on his face in their royal portrait. “I’m sorry,...dad. I feel I’ve already failed you.”

—————————-

Y/N walked out of the frown room and out into the town considering no one knew her title she aimlessly wandered around. Eventually stumbling upon the seven emperors also aimlessly walking around with guards nearby, everyone making way for them. Y/N hid in the crowd as they stood in a line, the crowd gathering in front of the. Her eyes searched for a Jimin only for it to seem like he was out of this world. Y/N felt love and hatred towards him at the moment, to think someone had actually fooled her and used her.

🌷The General of the Royal Army’s booming voice hushed the voices amongst the crowd. “Today, we would like to make an announcement concerning all empires.” The general looked at Namjoon, receiving a nod from him and stepping up.

“These last few days have been very challenging for the allied Emperors. However, do not worry as we are trying our best to prepare for this altercation. No, it is not war, however, that doesn’t mean that this will be dealt with peace either. Along with that, my brothers and I have found news ourselves.” Silence fell amongst the crowd waiting for their Emperor to finish his speech. Y/N stood in the crowd also intrigued by what news he was going to announce.

“I’d like for us to introduce you to Empress Y/N of the Min Empire, sister to the the Three Kim Emperors.”
