Did a thing, a writing thing so Iโ€™ll plop it here
Iโ€™d suggest looking at the tags on AO3 since I may not put all of them here since I can be quite forgetful

โ˜†ๅฝก in which professor trein judges your relationship with the NRC boys
NRC boys x Reader (minus Ortho)
Word Counter: 3K
Warnings: Reader is Prefect, Trein is your father figure, established relationship, possible OOC
A/N: lifeโ€™s getting pretty hectic so iโ€™m sorry if my upload schedule slows down. i hope you enjoy :>
Tumblr media
ace trappola
Canโ€™t say heโ€™s surprised, just disappointed. It makes sense; he was one of your first friends. However, that doesnโ€™t make him any less troublesome. Despite being a first-year, Ace is one of the biggest slackers and troublemakers on campusโ€” much to Treinโ€™s dismay. His main worry is that Ace will poorly influence you. Heโ€™s already seeing it with the two of you getting a crazy amount of detentions and scoldings for unthinkable reasons. Youโ€™ve got it rough already being from another world, you donโ€™t need a devil on your shoulder convincing you to get into all kinds of trouble. Itโ€™s a real shame said devil is your boyfriend. Heโ€™ll allow the relationship and all will seem swell. Little do you know that he pulled Ace aside and had a long chat.
deuce spade
A fine pick; Trein is neither severely impressed nor disappointed. He doesnโ€™t think Deuce is too bad, but he believes you could do better. Deuce will need to somehow prove himself to Trein. On the outside, Trein looks like he absolutely hates his guts. His eyes are always staring at Deuce with this sharp look and it gets the card soldier real nervous real fast. In reality, itโ€™s just Trein keeping a closer eye on him + his RBF. Heโ€™s relatively neutral on the first year, yet Deuce is fully convinced that his professor wants to set him on fire.
cater diamond
Trein is very annoyed with your choice. He doesnโ€™t like Caterโ€™s social media addiction and would much rather have you hit the books than scrolling through Magicam. Not to mention, he feels as though something about Caterโ€™s happy-go-lucky attitude is a facade, and doesnโ€™t trust him around you. Cater finds Trein scary, but heโ€™s not as intimidated as Deuce. As he does with Ace, Trein takes Cater to have a talk, andโ€”surprisinglyโ€” his opinions on the third year improve. He doesnโ€™t fully like him, but heโ€™ll tolerate Cater more so than beforehand. Cater also offers to help Trein make a social media account; itโ€™s cute yet chaotic all the same watching them bond.
trey clover
Before Trein can form a solid thought on Trey, the vice housewarden is subtly trying to win his favor. Trey knows how about his father-like connection to you and immediately shapes up. He gifts Trein different pastries and learns which ones heโ€™s partial to. What really wins the professor over is when Trey starts volunteering to help clean his classroom after class. Trein wonโ€™t even know the two of you are already together and heโ€™ll make comments around you like, โ€œThat Clover boy is real niceโ€ฆโ€ Needless to say, Trein approves of Trey long before he finds out you both are in a relationship.
riddle rosehearts
Trein immediately scowls when he hears the news of your relationship. Youโ€™d think heโ€™d approve due to Riddleโ€™s intellect and dutiful behavior. Admittedly, Trein does like that about Riddle. But he despises the boyโ€™s bursts of anger, finding them childish and unfitting for a future mage. Heโ€™s seen the housewarden go berserk on one too many students and doesnโ€™t trust he wonโ€™t do the same to you. Trein doesnโ€™t want you walking on eggshells around your own partner. This is another one whoโ€™ll have to prove themselves to Trein. Riddle will be upset when he hears of Treinโ€™s low opinion of him, but gets a surge of motivation to convince him otherwise. Youโ€™ll find Riddle working even harder on his studies than before you didnโ€™t even think that was possible in hopes of gaining Treinโ€™s favor. Heโ€™ll eventually get it. I imagine that Riddle does some small, heroic deed for you that really shows his love, and Trein just so happens to be passing by and sees it. Once your unofficial official father in Twisted Wonderland gets along with Riddle, expect to be nagged about missing assignments and homework a WHOLE LOT.
jack howl
Similar to Trey, he immediately knows about your bond with Trein. Instead of trying to win over the professor, Jack takes a more blunt approach. He goes straight to his desk after class and tells him about your relationship, being upfront about his feelings towards you. Trein respects it. He thinks that Jack has more guts than most on campus and trusts him to protect you. Heโ€™s quite supportive of the relationship, acting as a mentor for the both of you. You can catch him watching the two of you with a tiny smile, murmuring something along the lines of, โ€œYoung love.โ€ The two of you remind him of his own marriage with his late wife. It makes him sentimental in a way.
ruggie bucchi
A BIG 180 FROM JACK. Trein thinks this guy is sleazy. Ruggie couldnโ€™t care less in the beginning, finding it funny to practically hang off your shoulder while Trein stared daggers into him. Then it started to seep in that it may or may not be important to get Treinโ€™s approval for a long-term relationship with you. Thatโ€™s when he gets his act together and completely starts sucking up to Trein. Heโ€™ll help out with paperwork, errands, cleaning up, etc! All for free! much to his dismay All Ruggie asks for in return is Treinโ€™s support for your relationship. He catches Trein by surprise with how well his work ethic is. The lengths the hyena goes to for you ends up leaving the professor impressed.
leona kingscholar
Professor Trein is both surprised and disappointed. Now how did this happen? He didn't think Kingscholar was capable of being nice to anyone, let alone get into a whole relationship. Well, he bugs you to tell your boyfriend to start showing up to class. Heโ€™s not exactly happy with you dating a huge slacker like him, but Trein knows that Leona is a smart boy. Brash and not his first pick, sure, but he wouldnโ€™t play with your heart or rope you into anything stupid. He trusts Kingscholar to protect you. But if he starts seeing you begin to skip classโ€” which is going to happen, Leonaโ€™s going to make you do it at least onceโ€” heโ€™ll pull YOU aside and give you an earful. Tough love, unfortunately.
floyd leech
Hell no. All the red blaring flags. Now why would you go and do that? Really? Out of EVERYONE? You bet your bottoms Trein is actively speaking out against your relationship every single time he sees you. He doesn't even want to try to talk to Floyd. Trein is convinced you are addicted to getting in trouble and lets out the biggest old man sigh. Is there any way Floyd can win the professorโ€™s favor? Probably not. And if there was a way, would Floyd even do it? Big fat no. Floyd thinks it is hilarious that Professor Trein disapproves, upping his affections around him with that toothy grin of his. And if you guys have a class together that Trein teaches? Chaos. Expect a lot of paper balls to be thrown at you.
jade leech
โ€œAre you okay??โ€ Is the first thing Trein asks when you tell him you and Jade are in a relationship. Doesn't exactly trust the boy, but Jade tends to behave around him. The professor has always seen him being picture-perfect whenever heโ€™s around which is 100% suspicious, but Trein doesn't have any solid reasons to disapprove. Jade, like his brother, finds the whole situation very amusing. Heโ€™s always figuring out new ways to appear like the โ€˜ideal boyfriendโ€™ to Trein. If he ever talks to the professor heโ€™ll slip in a comment like, โ€œI never disappoint, trust meโ€ and it makes Trein distrust him even more.
azul ashengrotto
Now what bet did you lose for this to have happened? At least Ashengrotto is a star student, you need to hang out around more of those in his opinion. After confirming that, โ€œNo, no bet was lost,โ€ and โ€œNo, heโ€™s not paying for my love,โ€ Trein was pretty alright with it. The Monstro Lounge is a student-ran organization, it's clear from that the young boy is capable and responsible. He just keeps a very, very close eye on you two. The last thing Trein wants is for Azul to take advantage of you sinceโ€” knowing himโ€” he seems like the type to do so. Expect frequent questions of โ€œHowโ€™s your relationship going?โ€ and โ€œHeโ€™s treating you right, right?โ€ Azul is going to get asked to stay after class to talk. Trein then proceeds to threaten lecture him on how to properly treat your lover. He just wants to make sure you don't get wrapped up in one of those contracts heโ€™s heard about. Azul has quite the track record.
kalim al asim
Automatically assumes youโ€™re dating him for the money and begins to ramble about how you should marry for love. Tells you about his late wife and how much he loved herโ€” it is so sweet I'm actually crying. That's the kind of love he wants you to have. Youโ€™ve got to reassure him that, โ€œYes, my certified father figure, I do love him very much and Iโ€™m not just in it for the money.โ€ After that talk, he finds the relationship sweet but kind of concerning. Kalim is a nice boy but severely naive and, frankly, incompetent. Trein starts to go a little harder on Kalim in class, not that he was going easy anyway. He scrutinizes the essays he turns in and chastises him for missing an assignment. As he watches you kiss Kalim on the cheek after getting an A, Trein can only sigh and think, โ€œHeโ€™s lucky heโ€™s rich.โ€
jamil viper
Treinโ€™s pretty okay with him. Heโ€™s a level-headed guy with passable grades and the title of a vice housewarden. However, the professor did hear about his Overblot and does think that there's more beneath the surface. He doesn't judge him for his Overblot, no. But Trein does keep a closer eye on him to make sure he isn't scheming anything involving you. The professor also tries to push him to do better academically. Heโ€™s heard from you about how smart Jamil truly is and can see his potential, so he tries to get him to stop holding back. Jamil is a little appreciative of it and respects Trein as your father figure, but still isn't a fan of sticking out. Nor does he plan on giving into Treinโ€™s attempts.
epel felmier
Is fine with the relationship at first. He was polite, soft-spoken, and a part of Pomfiore. Most students belonging to that dorm are pompous, but respectful nonetheless. Then Epelโ€™s true nature comes out and Trein is constantly reprimanding him for horseplay. It's kinda funny how surprised Trein is by Epelโ€™s country toughness. The professor definitely had his suspicionsโ€” nobody at NRC is innocent, heโ€™s learned every student here has some sort of dark sideโ€” but he definitely wouldn't have expected this. A part of Trein actually prefers him like this. You are dating someone with a backbone who will defend you. He encourages Epel to be himself around him, promising a judgment-free area. They get along pretty well surprisingly, with Trein being a sort of mentor to him. Overall, very sweet and Trein approves.
rook hunt
In the most blunt way possible, Trein tells you, โ€œYour boyfriend weirds me out.โ€ He thinks Rook is an oddball for sure. No way around it. Is half convinced Rook is stalking him. Because he is. When you explained to your boyfriend about the bond you had with Professor Trein, he got way too intrigued and ended up โ€˜watchingโ€™ Trein like he does to Leona. It's not until the professor makes a passing comment about being paranoid that heโ€™s being watched that you realized, โ€œOh shit my boyfriends stalking you.โ€ You don't say that to himโ€” you don't want Rook getting in trouble. So you settle on having a really long talk with Rook about it who reassures you heโ€™d never disturb your father figure or the absolutely beautiful bond between the two of you. He still worries you sometimes when he goes missing and randomly reappears by walking out of Treinโ€™s classroom.
vil schoenheit
Trein worries that Vil wonโ€™t make the time for you. Heโ€™s aware that Schoenheit is a busy boy as heโ€™s missed his class plentiful in the past. Heโ€™ll make Vil stay after class for a little to talk to him about it, giving him a fatherly warning about being ready to fully commit to a relationship and the time it takes to manage one. Vil is, admittedly, insulted that Trein doubts his ability to wholeheartedly love you but takes it in stride. He sees this as a sign to up his game in the romance department and properly does so, dedicating more time to pampering you. The professor expresses his concerns to his coworker, Crewel, who talks his ear off about how much of a โ€œgood pupโ€ Vil is and that he won't disappoint. Trein canโ€™t help but agree when he spots you walking into class looking more freshened with slight makeup on and a new hair-do that Vil definitely did for you.
idia shroud
Once you break the news to Trein, he immediately asks to meet with Idia one-on-one. The blue-haired student rarely shows up to class! And that iPad isn't going to cut it forever! He needs to be able to size him up in person. Idia, naturally, is scared to death. At first, he immediately declines, insisting that they don't really need to meet up, the whole idea is stupid, and itโ€™ll be fine if he stays right there in his room. Then you sit down with him and tell him how important Trein is to you andโ€ฆ sigh You landed a natural 20 on the dice of persuasion. Idia canโ€™t believe he's doing this. Youโ€™re beside him the whole time as he stutters in front of Trein. Is Trein impressed? No, not at all. Yet your confidence in the Shroud and constant praise is reassuring. The professorโ€™s going to make you force Idia into showing up in person in class. His attendance rivals Leona's.
sebek zigvolt
Doesn't really care for Sebek despite the first year's desperate attempts at trying to impress him. Sebek lost him after he started talking about Malleus when Trein asked about you. Ever since then, itโ€™s just been him trying to win him back to no prevail. Kinda sad to watch. Heโ€™ll be the biggest gentleman ever: rushing to doors to open them for Trein, scrubbing his whole classroom for him from top to bottom, and yelling at other students to be quietโ€” though he was pretty much doing that before you two even got together. But every time Sebek gets close to winning the professorโ€™s favor, he ends up going on a tangent about how amazing his liege is, and we're back at square one. Youโ€™ve got to rub him on the back and kiss him on the cheek while telling him, โ€œTrein will come around one day!โ€ Even if that day never comes.
silver
Not a fan. Heโ€™s witnessed Silver fall asleep in his class one too many times and thinks it's disrespectful. Once you tell Silver, heโ€™s upset as it's not exactly something he can change, but will put in extra effort not only in Treinโ€™s class but in all his classes. He studies with you beside him so you can prevent him from falling asleep when you see him get all drowsy-eyed. Trein immediately takes note of Silverโ€™s hard work and grit as the boy passes his class with flying colors while asking if thereโ€™s anything he could do to help him after hours. It's only when he hears from his fellow teachers that Silver has been doing exceptionally well is he actually impressed. Afterwards, Trein will start being more understanding of Silverโ€™s constant sleeping. He won't be any less strict, but he wonโ€™t lay into him for it as hard as before since learning it's out of Silverโ€™s control. Trein thinks rather positively of your relationship, comparing it to the ones in the fairytales.
lilia vanrouge
A bit disturbed, to say the least. Lilia is older than him after all. Trein tried to keep a close eye on the two of you, but Lilia always caught him and pursued a staring match. Trein was always the first to look away. Lilia finds it entertaining. He tries to play tiny tricks on the professor, but you stop him at the very last minute. You sit down and try to explain that you deeply care about Trein and, by extension, what Trein thinks of him. Lilia proceeded to suggest that he brings Trein some cookies to win him over to which you immediately say no. Honestly, I donโ€™t see Trein really ever warming up to Lilia. He just pretends the old bat doesn't exist and isn't your boyfriend. Lilia finds that incredibly funny while you're dying inside.
malleus draconia
The fact you were able to get close to the Draconia is an impressive feat to Trein. However, future ruler of Briar Valley or not, he intends to make sure that Malleus treats you right. Right when you tell Malleus that Trein is basically your father, the fae goes straight to the professor, confesses to him about your relationship, and swears to take good care of you with this ominous tone. Trein isnโ€™t very fond of Malleus at first, struggling to decipher whether or not that introduction was genuine. It isn't until you go to him after class, gushing about the late-night walk you went on with Malleus yesterday and shoving cute little polaroid photos in his face does Trein begin to trust the fae. He makes sure to scold you for not being asleep at that time, yes, but he stares at one of the photographs for way too long, imagining you and Malleus as him and his late wife for a moment. A small smile appears on his face. However, he canโ€™t help but think that the two of you are down a similar path; the happiest marriage ever, kids, and one lover outliving the other. A tragedy, but heโ€™ll let you enjoy it while it lasts just like he did. As long as youโ€™re happy.

twisted wonderland ร— kimetsu no yaiba (au!)
based on this post here.
I this this on a a japanese song only playlist and a wave of hiperfixation. So heres the context: Yuno (Yuu) and Leona were newly married and lived on his familyโ€™s land. On the night after the Town Below festival, Yuno returned home to find not only her husbandโ€™s family dead but also her younger brother, Grimm. Leona was the only one still alive, but as she tried to lead him down the mountain, she discovered that he was no longer human.
Silver, a demon slayer, confronted Leona. However, after witnessing him protect Yuno, he chose to spare the newly turned demonโ€™s life, and send the couple to his master, Lilia.
Vil and Rook are the Tamayo and Yuuchiro of this universe. Vil lived more than 300 years only on serving face and hate, nonetheless showed kindness by helping Yuno and Leona after their encounter with the Demon King.
Ace and deuce are both slayers, one ranking above yuu. The three met during a mission, and the two decided to stick by her side from that point on.

Pick Us!
In which you have to choose a club and it looks like everyone wants a piece of you.
Part 2 (Choosing a club)
Tumblr media
You were minding your own business, dodging Grim's increasingly creative ways to get you to buy premium tuna, when Crowley swept in with his usual dramatic flair.
โ€œAh, my dear pupil!โ€ he exclaimed, arms wide like a bad community theater actor. โ€œTo better immerse yourself in school life, you must join a club. Itโ€™s mandatory!โ€
Before you could protest or ask any clarifying questions, he disappeared in a swirl of his cape, leaving you standing there with nothing but Grimโ€™s unsympathetic shrug.
Naturally, this information traveled faster than you could process it, because the next thing you knew, Ace was practically dragging you by the arm across campus.
The Basketball Club
โ€œAlright, listen,โ€ Ace began, spinning a basketball on one finger and grinning like he just invented the sport. โ€œYouโ€™re obviously joining the basketball club. Itโ€™s the best. Iโ€™m here, Floydโ€™s here, and even Jamilโ€™s here, so really, itโ€™s a no-brainer.โ€
โ€œIs that supposed to sell it?โ€ you asked, crossing your arms.
โ€œUh, yeah!โ€ he said, tossing the ball toward you. It immediately bounced off your hands and hit the floor. Ace, undeterred, caught it mid-bounce and gave you a wink. โ€œDonโ€™t worry, Iโ€™ll teach you. Iโ€™m, like, super good at this. Just ask him!โ€
From across the gym, some poor guyโ€”bless his heartโ€”tried to nod in support, but you caught the nervous look he shot Ace instead.
โ€œOkay, sure,โ€ you said, โ€œbut isnโ€™t this just an excuse for you to show off?โ€
โ€œMaybe,โ€ Ace said with zero shame, dribbling the ball dramatically before attempting a layup. The ball bounced off the rim and into Floydโ€™s waiting hands.
โ€œShrimpy!โ€ Floyd called, tossing the ball behind his head without looking (and still somehow making the shot). โ€œJoin the club. Itโ€™ll be fuuuuun.โ€
You hesitated, because with Floyd, โ€œfunโ€ could mean literally anything. โ€œDefine fun,โ€ you said cautiously.
โ€œSimple! You, me, and Ace crushing people in games!โ€ Floyd grinned, leaning closer to you. โ€œAnd if anyone tries to mess with you, Iโ€™ll squish โ€˜em.โ€
Ace groaned. โ€œFloyd, you canโ€™t just threaten people into joining.โ€
โ€œWhy not?โ€ Floyd asked, genuinely puzzled.
โ€œBecause itโ€™s weird!โ€
โ€œNo, itโ€™s effective,โ€ Floyd countered, shooting you another toothy grin. โ€œCโ€™mon, Shrimpy, youโ€™re already here. Iโ€™ll even let you call the plays. Or, you know, not. Whatever.โ€
โ€œ...Youโ€™re just bored, arenโ€™t you?โ€
โ€œObviously,โ€ Floyd admitted, leaning lazily against the wall. โ€œBut hey, if you join, I wonโ€™t let Ace hog the ball. Win-win, right?โ€
And then there was Jamil, who had been sitting silently on the sidelines, observing the chaos with his usual exasperated expression.
โ€œAre they done?โ€ he asked, finally standing and walking over to you.
โ€œI donโ€™t think so,โ€ you replied, watching as Floyd tried to steal the ball from Ace mid-dribble.
Jamil sighed. โ€œTypical.โ€ He glanced at you, his tone cool and measured. โ€œIgnore them. Theyโ€™re just trying to drag you into their antics.โ€
โ€œAntics?โ€ Floyd repeated, offended.
โ€œYeah, Jamil,โ€ Ace added, narrowing his eyes. โ€œWhatโ€™re you implying?โ€
โ€œIโ€™m implying youโ€™re both terrible at convincing people,โ€ Jamil said smoothly. He turned back to you. โ€œIf youโ€™re interested in joining the club, youโ€™ll actually get something out of it. Physical exercise, teamwork, strategy. And if you stick around, Iโ€™ll make sure youโ€™re not stuck with them during practice.โ€
โ€œHey!โ€ Ace protested.
Floyd just laughed. โ€œJamilโ€™s still salty about the last scrimmage.โ€
โ€œHardly,โ€ Jamil said, arching an eyebrow. โ€œIโ€™m just pointing out that if you want to learn how to actually play, youโ€™d be better off with me.โ€
You blinked. โ€œAre youโ€ฆ offering to train me?โ€
He shrugged, but there was a faint smirk on his face. โ€œIf it means saving you from their nonsense, yes.โ€
All you can do is sigh and say "I'll think about it"
Track and Field Club
You barely made it out of the basketball clubโ€™s gym alive when Deuce grabbed your wrist like his life depended on it. His expression was that unique combination of earnest and panickedโ€”classic Deuce.
โ€œWait, donโ€™t decide yet!โ€ he said, already dragging you down the corridor. โ€œYou havenโ€™t even seen the track and field club! You might like it better!โ€
โ€œDeuce,โ€ you began, trying to keep up without tripping. โ€œI havenโ€™t evenโ€”โ€
โ€œJust come on!โ€
Before you knew it, you were standing on the edge of the outdoor track, blinking in the sunlight as Deuce shoved you forward like he was presenting a prize to a panel of judges. Jack, in the middle of sprint drills, stopped mid-stride to look over at you. His tail flicked once, and he jogged over with that intimidating mix of focus and curiosity he always had.
โ€œYouโ€™re trying to recruit them?โ€ Jack asked, crossing his arms.
Deuce nodded, puffing out his chest like he was making the ultimate sales pitch. โ€œYeah! Track and fieldโ€™s way better than basketball. No offense to those guys.โ€
โ€œI take offense,โ€ you muttered, but neither of them heard.
โ€œPlus,โ€ Deuce continued, โ€œweโ€™ve got variety. Running, jumping, throwingโ€”you can do anything. Itโ€™s not just bouncing a ball around, you know?โ€
Jack nodded in agreement. โ€œItโ€™s good for discipline. Builds strength, endurance, and focus. If you want to improve yourself, this is the place to do it.โ€
โ€œUh-huh,โ€ you said, glancing at the track. โ€œAnd what if Iโ€ฆ donโ€™t exactly have focus?โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s fine!โ€ Deuce said, grinning brightly. โ€œWeโ€™ll help you! Right, Jack?โ€
Jack nodded. โ€œOf course. Weโ€™ll start with basic drills.โ€ He gave you a once-over, sizing you up. โ€œHowโ€™s your stamina?โ€
โ€œDefineโ€ฆ stamina,โ€ you said cautiously, because you had a feeling your answer wasnโ€™t going to impress him.
Jackโ€™s ears twitched, and he leaned slightly closer. โ€œHow far can you run without stopping?โ€
โ€œUh,โ€ you began, nervously shifting your weight. โ€œTo the fridge?โ€
Jack blinked. โ€œ...Youโ€™re joking, right?โ€
Deuce coughed loudly, clapping a hand on Jackโ€™s shoulder. โ€œDonโ€™t worry about that! Everyone starts somewhere, right? Besides, theyโ€™re here because they want to try something new.โ€
You stared at Deuce. โ€œI donโ€™t remember saying that.โ€
โ€œExactly!โ€ he continued, ignoring you entirely. โ€œThink of how awesome itโ€™d be to have us training you! Weโ€™ll get you in the best shape of your life. Right, Jack?โ€
Jack, who was still mildly horrified by your fridge comment, hesitated. โ€œ...Sure.โ€
Deuce, now fully in salesman mode, gestured to the track like it was some sort of holy land. โ€œAnd you donโ€™t have to worry about teamwork stuff! You can focus on your personal goals andโ€”โ€
โ€œUnless youโ€™re in a relay,โ€ Jack interjected.
โ€œRight, but relays are cool!โ€ Deuce added quickly. โ€œLikeโ€ฆ team spirit, you know?โ€
You glanced between the two of them, taking in Jackโ€™s intensity and Deuceโ€™s enthusiasm. They were both staring at you with a mix of hope and determination, and honestly, it was kind of endearing.
โ€œOkay,โ€ you said slowly. โ€œIf I join, do I get to skip the first practice?โ€
โ€œNo,โ€ Jack said immediately.
Deuce grinned sheepishly. โ€œBut weโ€™ll go easy on you!โ€
โ€œJack doesnโ€™t look like he believes that.โ€
Jack tilted his head, his tail swishing once. โ€œYouโ€™ll thank me later.โ€
โ€œIโ€™m not sure Iโ€™ll survive later,โ€ you muttered.
Deuce ignored that, clapping his hands together. โ€œGreat! I knew youโ€™d love it here! Cโ€™mon, letโ€™s give them a quick demo, Jack!โ€
Before you could protest, the two of them took off around the track, moving at speeds that made you feel dizzy just watching. Deuce kept glancing back to grin at you, while Jack stayed focused, every stride perfect.
You stood there, bewildered and vaguely impressed, wondering if joining any club was a good idea at all. Still, as Deuce stumbled back toward you, sweaty but grinning like a puppy who just fetched a stick, you couldnโ€™t help but laugh.
โ€œThink about it, okay?โ€ he said, hands on his knees as he caught his breath. โ€œWeโ€™d love to have you here.โ€
Jack jogged up beside him, barely winded. โ€œYouโ€™ll fit in if you put in the effort.โ€
โ€œYeah,โ€ Deuce agreed, nodding earnestly. โ€œSoโ€ฆ what do you think?โ€
You hesitated, glancing at the track, then at them. โ€œโ€ฆIโ€™ll get back to you.โ€
Deuce grinned like that was a victory, and Jack just nodded approvingly. As they walked back to their drills, you realized you had yet another club to considerโ€”and these two werenโ€™t going to make it any easier.
Board Game Club
Before you could make your escapeโ€”or even fully process the events of the dayโ€”your wrist was suddenly seized by Ortho, who zoomed in out of nowhere like a missile with a purpose.
โ€œThere you are!โ€ Ortho exclaimed with unsettling cheer. His grip was surprisingly firm for someone who probably didnโ€™t even need to touch you to move you. โ€œBig Brotherโ€™s been waiting! Come on!โ€
โ€œWaitโ€”what? Ortho, where are weโ€”โ€
โ€œNo time for questions!โ€ And just like that, he lifted you into the air like you were a deranged package and he was some kind of express courier. You barely had time to flail before he rocketed off, delivering you with precision to the board game club's headquarters.
You landed with an unceremonious thud, right in front of Idia, who nearly fell out of his chair.
โ€œOrtho!โ€ Idia hissed, his flaming hair flaring. โ€œYou canโ€™t just abduct people like that!โ€
โ€œBut you said you wanted them to join!โ€ Ortho chirped. โ€œMission accomplished!โ€
Azul, seated calmly at the head of the table, adjusted his glasses and smirked. โ€œWell, well. A delivery serviceโ€”how efficient. Welcome to the board game club.โ€
You were still processing the fact that youโ€™d been airmailed when Idia slouched lower in his seat, muttering, โ€œUgh, so embarrassing. Ortho, seriouslyโ€ฆโ€
โ€œUh,โ€ you began, brushing yourself off. โ€œHi?โ€
Azul gestured grandly to the table in front of him, where an array of meticulously organized board games was displayed like they were ancient treasures. โ€œHere, we focus on strategy, intellect, and the fine art of outwitting your opponent. Unlike other clubs,โ€ he said with a pointed glance at the door, โ€œthis one doesnโ€™t require you to break a sweat.โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s actually kind of appealing,โ€ you admitted, still wary.
Idia perked up slightly, his hair flickering a little brighter. โ€œSee? I told you itโ€™s cool. I mean, if you like, uh, not running around like some NPC.โ€
Ortho leaned over, nodding enthusiastically. โ€œAnd Big Brotherโ€™s really good at this stuff! Heโ€™s undefeated in our club tournaments!โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s because youโ€™re the only other member whoโ€™s not a liability!โ€ Idia blurted, before realizing what heโ€™d just said. โ€œUhโ€”I meanโ€”youโ€™d totally, like, be an asset. Probably.โ€
Azul cleared his throat, clearly annoyed at being excluded from the compliment. โ€œAllow me to demonstrate. Why donโ€™t we have a quick match? You against Idia.โ€
โ€œWhat?โ€ Idia sat up straight, his hair sparking nervously. โ€œNo way! Thatโ€™s not fairโ€”I canโ€™t justโ€”โ€
Azul gave him a smile sharp enough to cut glass. โ€œDonโ€™t tell me youโ€™re afraid of losing, Idia.โ€
Idiaโ€™s face turned pink. โ€œFine,โ€ he grumbled, setting up the board. โ€œBut donโ€™t blame me if I crush them.โ€
You sat down reluctantly, realizing too late that this was probably a trap. Idiaโ€™s fingers moved at lightning speed as he set up his pieces, muttering calculations under his breath. Ortho leaned over your shoulder, giving you completely useless advice like, โ€œJust believe in yourself!โ€
To your surprise, you managed to hold your own for the first few turns. Idia glanced up at you, his eyes narrowing slightly as if he were reevaluating your existence.
โ€œHuh,โ€ he murmured. โ€œNot bad. For a newbie.โ€
โ€œIs that a compliment?โ€ you asked, moving your piece cautiously.
โ€œDonโ€™t let it go to your head,โ€ he said quickly, his face turning red again.
Azul chuckled from his spot at the table. โ€œSee? A game of wits and strategy. Isnโ€™t this far superior to running laps or throwing balls into hoops?โ€
โ€œHey!โ€ you said, pointing your game piece at him. โ€œDonโ€™t diss the other clubs. Theyโ€™re passionate too!โ€
Azul raised an eyebrow. โ€œPassion doesnโ€™t win battles. Strategy does.โ€
The game dragged on, and by the end of it, you were completely out of your depth. Idia, on the other hand, looked like heโ€™d just stepped out of an anime boss fight, his hair flaring dramatically as he made his final move.
โ€œCheckmate,โ€ he said, grinning slightly.
โ€œWrong game, Big Brother,โ€ Ortho corrected.
โ€œWhatever!โ€ Idia snapped, but he didnโ€™t look too upset. โ€œItโ€™s over, okay?โ€
Azul leaned forward, smirking again. โ€œSo, what do you think? Ready to join?โ€
You leaned back in your chair, your brain fried from trying to keep up. โ€œIโ€ฆ I need to think about it.โ€
Ortho beamed. โ€œThat means theyโ€™re considering it! Success!โ€
Idia muttered something under his breath about โ€œtoo much pressureโ€ and โ€œwhy is this so stressful,โ€ but you caught a tiny flicker of a smile as he fiddled with one of the game pieces.
Azul, ever the businessman, handed you a brochure as you left. โ€œTake your time. But rememberโ€”intellect always wins.โ€
You left the board game club feeling like youโ€™d just survived a high-stakes negotiation. And as Ortho cheerfully waved goodbye, you couldnโ€™t help but wonder if all the clubs were this intense.
Film Studies Club
You were rounding a corner, still recovering from your latest club recruitment ambush, when a perfectly manicured hand shot out and grabbed your wrist.
Before you could even yelp, you found yourself being gracefully pulled into the Film Studies Clubroom by none other than Vil Schoenheit. His strides were purposeful, his posture impeccable, and his expressionโ€ฆwell, letโ€™s just say it was the definition of Iโ€™m doing you a favor, peasant.
โ€œVil?โ€ you sputtered, barely managing to keep up. โ€œWhat are youโ€”โ€
โ€œI need to vet you,โ€ Vil said simply, his voice calm but leaving no room for argument. โ€œThe Film Studies Club could use some fresh blood, and you lookโ€ฆ adequate.โ€
โ€œAdequate?โ€ you echoed, mildly offended but too intrigued to argue further.
He led you to the center of the room, gesturing for you to stand under a perfectly angled spotlight. โ€œDonโ€™t misunderstand,โ€ Vil continued, crossing his arms and regarding you with a critical eye. โ€œIโ€™m merely evaluating your potential. Our club requires both talent and diligenceโ€”qualities that, if Iโ€™m being honest, are rare in this school.โ€
โ€œUh, thanks?โ€
Vil ignored you, pulling out a script and flipping through it like he was deciding your fate. โ€œIf you canโ€™t pass the audition, you can still join as a backstage hand,โ€ he said airily. โ€œWeโ€™re short on those too.โ€
โ€œWow, what an inspiring pitch,โ€ you muttered, but Vilโ€™s sharp gaze silenced you immediately.
โ€œRead this,โ€ he instructed, handing you the script and gesturing for you to begin.
You hesitated, glancing at the lines. โ€œYouโ€™re serious? Right now?โ€
โ€œDo I look like someone who jokes about art?โ€ Vil asked, raising a perfectly sculpted brow.
Point taken.
Clearing your throat, you started reading, trying to put some effort into it. Vil watched you intently, his expression inscrutable. He occasionally tilted his head, as if mentally dissecting every word you spoke, every movement you made.
When you finished, you looked at him expectantly, waiting for his verdict.
Vil tapped his chin, his eyes narrowing. โ€œYouโ€™re not hopeless,โ€ he said finally, in a tone that made it sound like a compliment. โ€œRough around the edges, yes, but Iโ€™ve seen worse.โ€
โ€œGee, thanks,โ€ you said dryly.
โ€œDonโ€™t be smug. Youโ€™ll need work,โ€ Vil continued, ignoring your tone. โ€œBut I suppose you have potential.โ€
โ€œAnd if I didnโ€™t?โ€
Vil gave a delicate shrug, his expression cool. โ€œThen youโ€™d still be useful behind the scenes. But consider this your opportunity to elevate yourself. Being part of my club means striving for excellenceโ€”no exceptions.โ€
You couldnโ€™t help but smirk. โ€œIs this really about me, or are you just desperate for members?โ€
Vilโ€™s eyes narrowed, but there was a flicker of amusement there. โ€œDesperation has nothing to do with it. Iโ€™m simply ensuring that my club remains unparalleled. If you happen to benefit from my guidance, so be it.โ€
โ€œWell, when you put it that way, how can I refuse? I'll think about it.โ€
Vilโ€™s lips curved into the faintest of smiles. โ€œSmart choice. Now, donโ€™t make me regret it.โ€
With that, he turned on his heel, leaving you standing there wondering what exactly youโ€™d just signed up forโ€”and if Vilโ€™s idea of โ€œelevating yourselfโ€ involved a complete personality overhaul.
Science Club
You barely had time to process Vil's dramatic exit when a familiar voice whispered theatrically, โ€œAh, my muse! Fate conspires to bring us together!โ€
Before you could react, Rook Hunt appearedโ€”swooped, reallyโ€”out of nowhere and expertly whisked you away from the Film Studies Clubroom. It was less like being led and more like being caught mid-flight by an overly enthusiastic bird of prey.
โ€œRook?!โ€ you yelped as he practically danced you down the hallway. โ€œWhat is happening?โ€
โ€œMon ami,โ€ he declared, his eyes glittering with fervor, โ€œyou must see the science club! A world of wonder awaits you!โ€
โ€œWaitโ€”science?โ€ you echoed, incredulous. โ€œYouโ€™re in the science club?โ€
โ€œAh, oui! Science is but another stage upon which the beauty of nature and humanity performs its eternal dance! The experiments! The cultivation of life! The creation of culinary masterpieces! All expressions of art, no?โ€
You werenโ€™t sure if he was describing scientific principles or poetry, but before you could argue, Rook had dragged you into the science clubroom.
The room was a chaotic mix of activities. One corner housed a vibrant garden under grow lights, another had chemistry equipment bubbling away ominously, and a third corner smelled suspiciously like freshly baked bread. Trey Clover stood near a counter, pulling cookies out of an oven as if this were the most normal thing to happen in a science lab.
โ€œAh, there you are,โ€ Trey greeted, smiling warmly. โ€œRook said heโ€™d bring someone by. Iโ€™m guessing youโ€™re deciding on a club?โ€
You glanced between Rook, who was already gesturing dramatically at a rack of test tubes, and Trey, who held up a tray of cookies like a peace offering. โ€œIโ€ฆ guess I am?โ€
โ€œBien sรปr!โ€ Rook exclaimed, sweeping an arm toward the greenery in the corner. โ€œBehold! We grow life itself here! Tomatoes, basil, flowersโ€”anything your heart desires!โ€
Trey added, โ€œWe also bake and cook as part of our activities. Itโ€™s a great way to learn about chemistry and make something useful at the same time.โ€
โ€œAnd explosions!โ€ Rook chimed in enthusiastically. โ€œOccasionally, there are explosions.โ€
Trey shot him a look. โ€œNotโ€ฆ intentionally.โ€
Rook turned back to you, his expression radiant. โ€œThink of the possibilities, mon ami! With science, you can cultivate beauty, create masterpieces, and perhaps even unlock secrets of the universe! And, of course, I am here to guide youโ€”to nurture the artistic soul that dwells within!โ€
โ€œAlso,โ€ Trey added, far more pragmatically, โ€œweโ€™re not picky about what activities you want to try. Itโ€™s a flexible club, so you could do a little bit of everything.โ€
You considered this as Trey handed you a cookie. It was warm and delicious, which admittedly swayed your opinion a little.
โ€œHmm,โ€ you said thoughtfully, โ€œso I could garden, bake, and blow things up all in one club?โ€
โ€œExactly!โ€ Trey said with a smile.
Rook leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a stage whisper. โ€œAnd think, mon cherโ€”if you hone your talents here, you could support Vil in creating the cinematic beauty he so envisions! Science and art, united in harmony!โ€
You blinked. โ€œWait, are you trying to recruit me for this club and help Vil at the same time?โ€
Rook grinned. โ€œNature does not limit itself to one purpose, mon ami, and neither do I.โ€
Trey sighed but didnโ€™t deny it.
โ€œWell, this is definitelyโ€ฆ something,โ€ you said, nibbling on the cookie. โ€œIโ€™ll think about it.โ€
โ€œAh, a maybe!โ€ Rook clasped his hands together like youโ€™d just promised him your soul. โ€œA victory in itself!โ€
Before you could say anything else, Rook twirled you toward the door, clearly ready to drag you to your next destinationโ€”or possibly just keep talking about โ€œthe poetry of chlorophyllโ€ until you gave in.
Pop Music Club
Just as you were beginning to suspect Rook was about to wax poetic about โ€œthe lyrical mysteries of yeast fermentation,โ€ a sudden voice interrupted.
โ€œOh-ho, whatโ€™s this?โ€
Before you could even react, Lilia Vanrouge materialized out of thin air, practically glowing with chaotic energy. โ€œAh, my dear friend! Youโ€™re far too bright a star to waste away on science experiments! Come with meโ€”pop stardom awaits!โ€
You blinked. โ€œWait, what?โ€
And just like that, you were swept up in Liliaโ€™s whirlwind. He dragged you down the hallway with a skip in his step and a mischievous laugh, leaving Rook and Trey in his dust.
โ€œLilia, I can walk, you know!โ€ you said, stumbling to keep up.
โ€œBut whereโ€™s the drama in that?โ€ Lilia replied, cackling as he pushed open the doors to the Pop Music Clubroom.
Inside, the room was a cacophony of sound and color. Disco lights spun, a half-finished banner reading โ€˜Next Big Thing!โ€™ hung lopsidedly on the wall, and Kalim was gleefully banging away on a drum like it owed him money. Cater sat cross-legged on the floor, scrolling through his phone and periodically snapping selfies with sparkly filters.
โ€œOh, hey!โ€ Kalim greeted you, waving so enthusiastically he almost hit himself with the drum stick. โ€œYouโ€™re here to join us, right? This club is the best! We have music, dancing, and itโ€™s all just super fun!โ€
Cater glanced up from his phone, his grin wide and just a little too calculated. โ€œYouโ€™d fit right in! Think of all the magicam-worthy moments we could create together. Plus, the followers youโ€™d get? Off the charts.โ€
โ€œFollowers?โ€ you echoed, glancing at Lilia.
โ€œAh, but of course!โ€ Lilia said, flinging his arms wide as if presenting you to an adoring crowd. โ€œThe Pop Music Club isnโ€™t just about musicโ€”itโ€™s about presence! Charisma! The ability to captivate a room with a single note or a dazzling smile!โ€
โ€œItโ€™s also about having a good time!โ€ Kalim added, spinning in a circle for no reason other than sheer joy.
Cater nodded, holding up his phone. โ€œAnd donโ€™t forgetโ€”every moment is a potential viral video. You, me, Lilia, and Kalim as the dream team? Weโ€™d own the algorithm.โ€
You hesitated. โ€œUh, I donโ€™t even play an instrument.โ€
โ€œNeither does he!โ€ Lilia said brightly, pointing at some unfortunate bystander.
โ€œHey!โ€ he protested. โ€œI play the Kalimba!โ€ He promptly tried to play a note, missed the rhythm entirely, and Lilia laughed like it was the funniest thing ever.
โ€œSee?โ€ Lilia said, unfazed. โ€œTalent is optional here. All we need is your spirit!โ€
Cater stood, brushing imaginary dust off his pants. โ€œWe also dabble in choreography, so if youโ€™ve got two left feet, donโ€™t worryโ€”weโ€™ll teach you how to make them look intentional.โ€
โ€œCome on, join us!โ€ Kalim said, grabbing your hands and bouncing up and down like an overexcited puppy. โ€œWe could totally use your energy!โ€
โ€œWhat energy?โ€ you asked, deadpan. โ€œIโ€™ve been dragged between clubs all dayโ€”I barely have any left.โ€
โ€œExactly!โ€ Lilia said with a wink. โ€œWeโ€™ll channel whatโ€™s left into a glorious crescendo of pop music excellence!โ€
You werenโ€™t sure whether to laugh, cry, or just surrender entirely to the chaos. Liliaโ€™s grin was practically infectious, Kalimโ€™s enthusiasm radiated like the sun, and Cater was already adjusting the angle of his phone to catch you in the best light.
โ€œWell,โ€ you muttered, โ€œat least it soundsโ€ฆ lively.โ€
โ€œLively is an understatement,โ€ Cater said, snapping a selfie with you and Lilia in the background. โ€œHashtag PopStarsInTheMaking! Youโ€™re gonna love it here.โ€
โ€œLet me guess,โ€ you said dryly. โ€œYouโ€™re already planning to upload that, arenโ€™t you?โ€
โ€œOh, absolutely,โ€ Cater said with a wink.
Lilia clapped his hands, his eyes sparkling with excitement. โ€œSo, what do you say? Ready to unleash your inner star?โ€
โ€œIโ€ฆ will think about it,โ€ you replied, edging toward the door.
โ€œThink fast!โ€ Kalim called after you. โ€œThe bass is calling your name!โ€
You bolted before anyone could shove an instrument into your hands.
Equestrian Club
As you hurried down the hallway, still reeling from the pop music chaos you'd just escaped, you nearly collided with a flash of red.
"Ah, there you are!"
You blinked up at none other than Riddle Rosehearts, who looked as though he'd been scouring the entire school for you. His eyes narrowed, and his voice carried a tone of stern authority mixed with subtle relief.
"I've been looking for you," Riddle said, crossing his arms. "Ace and Deuce mentioned that youโ€™re considering which club to join. As housewarden, itโ€™s my responsibility to ensure you make a proper choice."
You blinked, still processing. "Oh, uhโ€ฆ thanks?"
"Enough dilly-dallying," Riddle said briskly, taking your wrist with surprising firmness. "You're coming with me to the Equestrian Club."
"Wait, whatโ€”"
Before you could finish, Riddle had already begun marching you toward the stables. You were half-dragged, half-guided, catching snippets of his lecture along the way about the merits of horseback riding, discipline, and poise.
When you arrived, the warm scent of hay filled the air, and the sound of soft nickering greeted you. The stables were pristine, the horses sleek and well-groomed. Standing nearby were Silver and Sebek, both tending to the horses.
"Riddle, you found them" Silver greeted you with his usual calm demeanor. He gave you a faint smile as he gently brushed a dappled gray mare. "Perfect timingโ€”we were just about to go for a ride."
Sebek, on the other hand, straightened like a soldier at attention, his voice booming. "THEY WILL JOIN US, OF COURSE! IT IS ONLY FITTING FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OF WORTH TO EMBRACE SUCH A NOBLE ART!"
"Sebek, indoor voice," Riddle said sharply, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"I AM OUTDOORS!" Sebek retorted, though he did lower his volume slightly.
You glanced nervously at the horses. "Uh, I donโ€™t know if Iโ€™mโ€ฆ horse material."
"Nonsense," Riddle said, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Riding teaches discipline, focus, and responsibility. Itโ€™s the perfect club for fostering growthโ€”and for avoiding unnecessary distractions like some less dignified clubs."
"Pop Music Club?" you guessed.
Riddle sniffed, his expression sour. "Among others."
Silver walked over, still holding the brush, and gave you a reassuring nod. "Donโ€™t worry. The horses are gentle, and we can teach you everything. Itโ€™s a peaceful activity once you get used to it."
"Peaceful!" Sebek exclaimed, throwing his arms wide. "It is a pursuit befitting the greatest warriors! EVEN LORD MALLEUSโ€”"
"Sebek," Riddle interrupted, his patience clearly wearing thin. "Focus on the matter at hand."
"Apologies!" Sebek barked, saluting.
Riddle turned back to you, his expression softening just a fraction. "The Equestrian Club isnโ€™t just about riding horses. Itโ€™s about elegance, partnership, and understanding. You could benefit greatly from it."
"And the horses are great listeners," Silver added.
"Unlike some humans," Sebek muttered under his breath.
You bit back a laugh as Riddle gave Sebek another glare.
"What do you say?" Riddle asked, stepping aside to let you see one of the horsesโ€”a chestnut with a kind, inquisitive gaze. "This is Vorpal. Perhaps a ride would convince you?"
The horse whinnied softly, and for a moment, you considered it. There was something appealing about the tranquility of the stables, the camaraderie of the club members, and the undeniable charm of working with such majestic creatures.
But then you remembered the drum chaos, the science experiments, and Vilโ€™s dramatic vetting process.
"Let me, uhโ€ฆ think about it?" you said, taking a step back.
Riddle sighed, though he looked more exasperated than disappointed. "Very well. But donโ€™t wait too longโ€”indecision is unbecoming."
"Yeah," you mumbled. "Got it."
As you made your escape, you could hear Sebek booming, "RIDING A HORSE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!"
You werenโ€™t sure about that, but you were certain that escaping club recruitment was starting to feel like an Olympic sport.
Magift Club
As you staggered away from the stables, thoroughly frazzled by Sebekโ€™s enthusiastic yelling and Riddleโ€™s intense lecture on discipline, you barely had time to catch your breath beforeโ€”
โ€œYo, gotcha!โ€
A pair of hands grabbed your shoulders from behind, and you let out a very undignified yelp. You turned to find Ruggie grinning up at you like a mischievous hyena that had just found its next meal.
โ€œRuggie! Whatโ€”?โ€
โ€œNo time for questions, boss,โ€ he said, practically dragging you down the path. โ€œLeonaโ€™s orders. He told me to bring ya to the Magift Club.โ€
โ€œThe Magift Club?โ€ you repeated, already sensing disaster.
Ruggie nodded, smirking. โ€œYup. Letโ€™s go, letโ€™s go!โ€
โ€œButโ€”waitโ€”I donโ€™t even have magic!โ€ you protested as he hauled you toward the field.
โ€œDetails, details,โ€ Ruggie waved off, his grip on your arm firm.
Soon enough, you were dumped unceremoniously on the sidelines of the Magift field. Leona was lounging on the grass under the shade of a tree, looking entirely too comfortable for someone allegedly trying to recruit you. Epel was nearby, aggressively practicing his throws while muttering something that sounded suspiciously like โ€œIโ€™ll show โ€˜em.โ€
Leona cracked one eye open lazily as Ruggie dropped you off. โ€œโ€™Bout time,โ€ he drawled.
โ€œLeona,โ€ you said flatly, โ€œwhy would you want me in the Magift Club? I don't even have magic.โ€
He yawned, looking entirely unbothered. โ€œYeah, I know that. Youโ€™re still better than the other herbivores running around. You can be the manager.โ€
โ€œManager?โ€
โ€œYup,โ€ Ruggie chimed in, plopping down next to Leona. โ€œYouโ€™d handle all the boring stuffโ€”paperwork, schedules, snacks, makinโ€™ sure Epel doesnโ€™t throw a fit when he gets tackled.โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t throw fits!โ€ Epel yelled, narrowly missing a hoop with his throw.
Leona smirked. โ€œSure you donโ€™t.โ€
You crossed your arms, unconvinced. โ€œWhy me, though? Youโ€™re telling me Iโ€™m the best candidate for this?โ€
Leona sat up slightly, his sharp eyes locking on yours. โ€œIโ€™m sayinโ€™ youโ€™re the least annoying option. I donโ€™t need some herbivore manager whoโ€™s gonna cry every time I take a nap instead of practicing. Youโ€™re not useless, so quit whining.โ€
Ruggie leaned in conspiratorially. โ€œBasically, youโ€™re the only one Leona doesnโ€™t feel like chasing off the field after two days.โ€
You raised an eyebrow. โ€œSounds like a ringing endorsement.โ€
Leona shrugged. โ€œTake it or leave it. Makes no difference to me.โ€
At that moment, Epel ran up, panting slightly from his practice. โ€œCโ€™mon, you should join us!โ€ he urged. โ€œYou donโ€™t need magic to be part of the team. And if you ever wanna learn some tricks, I can teach ya!โ€
Leona gave him a lazy side-eye. โ€œDonโ€™t scare them off.โ€
โ€œIโ€™m not scarinโ€™ โ€˜em! Iโ€™m convincinโ€™ โ€˜em!โ€ Epel shot back, glaring at Leona before turning back to you. โ€œSeriously, we could use someone like you. The clubโ€™s fun, I promise!โ€
Ruggie snickered. โ€œFunโ€™s a stretch. Itโ€™s more likeโ€ฆ survival of the fittest with a ball involved.โ€
โ€œAnd napping,โ€ Leona added with a smirk.
Epel crossed his arms. โ€œWell, maybe if someone practiced instead of nappinโ€™, weโ€™d win more games!โ€
Leona waved him off with a scoff.
You sighed, rubbing your temples. โ€œI donโ€™t know, guys. This sounds like a lot of chaos.โ€
โ€œChaos is half the fun,โ€ Ruggie said with a grin. โ€œCโ€™mon, boss, think of all the free food we get during games. And youโ€™d get to boss Leona around as the manager. Ainโ€™t that worth it?โ€
Leona snorted. โ€œGood luck with that.โ€
You glanced at the trioโ€”Epel brimming with determination, Ruggie radiating mischief, and Leona looking like he didnโ€™t care but also somehow cared just enough to try. It wasโ€ฆ weirdly tempting, in its own way.
โ€œIโ€™llโ€ฆ think about it,โ€ you said finally.
โ€œFair enough,โ€ Leona said, already reclining again. โ€œDonโ€™t take too long, though. Weโ€™ve got a game next week, and Iโ€™m not filling out paperwork.โ€
Ruggie winked. โ€œDonโ€™t worry, youโ€™ll come around. Everyone does.โ€
As you left the field, you couldnโ€™t shake the feeling that youโ€™d just been almost recruited into something much more taxing than a simple club.
Mountain Lovers Club
Before you could escape the Magift field and all its potential paperwork, you took a sharp turnโ€”only to smack right into what felt like a wall of polite menace. A soft, knowing chuckle sounded above you.
โ€œOh dear, do be careful,โ€ came Jade Leechโ€™s unmistakably smooth voice.
You took a step back, already dreading the conversation. โ€œJade,โ€ you said warily, โ€œwhat are you doing here?โ€
His sharp smile grew ever so slightly. โ€œWaiting for you, of course. Word travels fast, and Iโ€™ve heard youโ€™re in the market for a club.โ€
โ€œOh no,โ€ you muttered. โ€œYouโ€™re not here toโ€”โ€
Before you could finish, he was already guiding you away, his hand light on your arm but unyielding, like a vice hidden under a silk glove.
โ€œCome now,โ€ he said, his tone as polite as ever, โ€œI simply must show you the Mountain Lovers Club.โ€
โ€œThe what now?โ€ you asked, bewildered.
โ€œThe Mountain Lovers Club,โ€ he repeated, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
โ€œAndโ€ฆ who else is in this club?โ€
โ€œWhy, just me.โ€
You stopped in your tracks. โ€œItโ€™s just you?โ€
โ€œYes.โ€ Jade smiled serenely, as if this were not a glaring red flag. โ€œI am the founder, leader, and sole member. But with your arrival, that could very well change.โ€
You blinked at him, unsure if youโ€™d misheard. โ€œWait, so youโ€™ve been running a one-person club this whole time?โ€
โ€œIndeed.โ€ His expression didnโ€™t falter in the slightest. โ€œThe Mountain Lovers Club is dedicated to the appreciation of all things mountainous. Hiking through beautiful terrain, foraging for wild plants, observing unique ecosystems, andโ€”on occasionโ€”befriending the local fauna.โ€
โ€œBefriending?โ€
โ€œExamining, petting, observing closelyโ€ฆโ€ His eyes gleamed. โ€œPerhaps all three.โ€
You shook your head, trying to process. โ€œSoโ€ฆ why me?โ€
Jade clasped his hands together, the picture of poised enthusiasm. โ€œYou strike me as someone who appreciates unique experiences. The Mountain Lovers Club offers a chance to explore the great outdoors, expand your horizons, and develop a deeper appreciation for natureโ€™s wonders.โ€
โ€œAnd by โ€˜great outdoors,โ€™ you mean mountains?โ€
โ€œPrecisely.โ€
โ€œAnd itโ€™s just you?โ€
โ€œFor now,โ€ he said, his tone warm but his gaze uncomfortably intense. โ€œBut every great journey begins with a single step. Yours could be joining this club.โ€
You gave a nervous laugh. โ€œUhโ€ฆ I donโ€™t think hiking through mountains is really my thing.โ€
โ€œAh, but how do you know unless you try?โ€ Jadeโ€™s smile widened. โ€œBesides, Iโ€™ll be there to guide you every step of the way. No need to worry about getting lostโ€ฆ or encountering anything unexpected.โ€
The way he said โ€œunexpectedโ€ made you want to run for the hills (ironic, given the circumstances).
โ€œLook, I appreciate the offer, butโ€”โ€
โ€œI insist,โ€ he cut in smoothly, his tone polite but with a note of finality. โ€œAt least allow me to show you the clubโ€™s activities. Perhaps a short hike this weekend? Iโ€™ve already prepared a route.โ€
You stared at him. โ€œYouโ€™ve alreadyโ€ฆ?โ€
โ€œOf course.โ€ His gaze was calm, calculating. โ€œPreparation is key. Iโ€™ve even packed a lunch.โ€
You didnโ€™t know whether to laugh or cry. โ€œJade, Iโ€”โ€
He tilted his head, his smile remaining perfectly composed. โ€œSurely you wouldnโ€™t refuse without at least giving it a chance? Iโ€™ve put so much thought into this.โ€
โ€œWhy do I feel like I donโ€™t have a choice?โ€ you muttered.
Jadeโ€™s smile was razor-sharp and utterly unrepentant. โ€œBecause you donโ€™t.โ€
You sighed in defeat. โ€œFine. One hike.โ€
โ€œExcellent,โ€ he said, his tone soft and victorious. โ€œIโ€™ll see you this Saturday at dawn.โ€
โ€œDawn?!โ€
โ€œOh yes,โ€ he said, his eyes gleaming with enthusiasm. โ€œThe mountains are at their most beautiful in the early morning light. Youโ€™ll love it.โ€
As he sauntered away, leaving you to process your fate, you couldnโ€™t shake the feeling that youโ€™d just agreed to something far more treacherous than a simple hike.
Gargoyle Research Society
The moment you finally reached Ramshackle Dorm, exhausted from the whirlwind of club-hopping and increasingly bizarre sales pitches, you let out a long sigh of relief. The day had been nothing short of chaotic, and all you wanted was to collapse onto your creaky old bed and forget the words โ€œclub activitiesโ€ ever existed.
But just as your hand touched the doorknob, a familiar voice, deep and regal, called out from the shadows.
โ€œChild of man.โ€
You jumped slightly, spinning around to see none other than Malleus Draconia emerging from beneath the pale light of the moon, his presence as imposing and enigmatic as always. He stood by one of Ramshackleโ€™s crumbling stone walls, his expression calm but his eyes bright with an unreadable intensity.
โ€œOh, Malleus,โ€ you said, your voice tinged with weariness but also a touch of warmth. โ€œDidnโ€™t see you there.โ€
He tilted his head ever so slightly, his gaze never leaving yours. โ€œI was merely admiring the architecture of your dorm. It has a certainโ€ฆ wistful charm.โ€
You smiled faintly. โ€œI guess thatโ€™s one way to put it.โ€
Then, with the sort of graceful confidence only Malleus could manage, he stepped closer, his presence looming but never threatening. โ€œI have heard,โ€ he began, his tone soft and deliberate, โ€œthat you have been seeking a club to join.โ€
You blinked at him, caught off guard. โ€œHow did youโ€”โ€
โ€œThe winds carry whispers,โ€ he said cryptically.
โ€œRight,โ€ you muttered, deciding not to question it.
Malleus folded his hands neatly in front of him, looking every bit the picture of regal sincerity. โ€œIf you have not yet made your decisionโ€ฆ I would like to invite you to join my club.โ€
Your brain, still reeling from Jadeโ€™s mountain escapades and Leonaโ€™s managerial demands, stalled for a moment. โ€œYourโ€ฆ club?โ€
โ€œYes,โ€ he said, his voice brimming with quiet pride. โ€œThe Gargoyle Research Society.โ€
โ€œTheโ€ฆ what now?โ€
โ€œThe Gargoyle Research Society,โ€ he repeated, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. โ€œI am both its founder and sole member.โ€
Of course, he was.
Malleus seemed oblivious to your stunned silence as he continued, his expression softening into something almost earnest. โ€œThe society is dedicated to the appreciation and study of gargoyles. We explore the campus, observing their intricate designs and marveling at their history. There is so much beauty in their silent watch over us.โ€
You blinked. โ€œSoโ€ฆ you just walk around and look at gargoyles?โ€
โ€œPrecisely,โ€ he said, his tone unironically enthusiastic.
โ€œAndโ€ฆ thatโ€™s it?โ€
Malleus nodded solemnly. โ€œIndeed. It is a noble pursuit, one that nurtures both the mind and the spirit.โ€
For a moment, you were at a loss for words. Of all the clubs youโ€™d encountered today, this might just take the crown for most niche.
Malleus, however, seemed utterly earnest. His eyes bore into yours, his expression sincere and unguarded. โ€œI understand if this does not align with your current interests,โ€ he said, his voice softening. โ€œBut should you ever feel the call of the gargoylesโ€ฆ know that you are always welcome.โ€
There was something so genuine in his tone, so quietly hopeful, that you felt a pang of guilt for even thinking about brushing him off. You sighed, offering him a tired but sincere smile. โ€œYou know what? Iโ€™ll definitely consider it.โ€
Malleusโ€™s eyes lit up, his calm demeanor giving way to a flicker of pure joy. โ€œTruly?โ€
โ€œTruly,โ€ you said, nodding.
โ€œThen I shall look forward to the day you join me,โ€ he said, his voice as soft as a promise.
With that, he gave you a small, graceful bow before disappearing back into the night, leaving you to wonder how youโ€™d managed to end the day not only agreeing to a potential club but also feeling oddly flattered by the idea of studying gargoyles.
You shook your head, a small smile tugging at your lips. โ€œWhat a dayโ€ฆโ€

With your Tsum in your arms, you find Ace and Deuce, leaning over with their hands on their knees as if they were catching their breath after a run. They look at you first, but quickly the cute little creature you hold in your arms catches their attention. They both have that look on their faces like they think it's the cutest and most beautiful little thing in the world but don't want to admit it.
They say that Riddle also has one of those and it was the one they were chasing and trying to catch, but they lost it. The moment they said Riddleโ€™s name, you felt your Tsum move enthusiastically for a moment.
They hear something, when they look they see Riddle-tsum in the distance and run towards it, starting the chase again. Your Tsum jumps out of your arms and runs with them, which makes you run after them too.
Your Tsum passes Ace and Deuce, which surprises them because they were so fast, and throws itself at Riddle-tsum, rolling together for a few seconds until they both stop. When this happened, Riddle-tsum didn't run away again, and the two were rubbing each other's cheeks happily.
Ace grabbed Riddle-tsum while it was distracted. It seemed upset about being caught. But the moment Deuce grabbed your Tsum that upsetness turn into anger. Riddle-tsum jumped out of Ace's arms, hits him in the face and threw itself right in Deuce's face to make him release your Tsum. Once back on the ground, Riddle-tsum positioned itself between your Tsum and those two, glaring threateningly at Ace and Deuce.
Once again, it doesn't run away. You finally get close to them and approach the tsums. When Riddle-tsum sees you it relaxes again and looks at you with admiration. As if looking at a royalty.
Ace and Deuce suggest that you try taking them both to Heartslabyul, as Riddle-tsum doesn't seem to like either of them. They were small enough for you to be able to carry them both in your arms without any problems.
You take them both in your arms and Riddle-tsum immediately turns red. It looked like a tomato in white clothes, and it writhed as if it wanted to hide in your arms in embarrassment. When you arrive at Heartslabyul, Riddle-tsum's blush had already subsided.
โ€œAh, prefect.โ€ Riddle says when he sees you, Ace and Deuce arriving. โ€œI see you were the one who managed to catch...โ€ He looks at your arms to see his tsum, but his gaze automatically goes to your tsum instead. โ€œOh, there is one similar to you too. It looks... as charming as you.โ€ he blushes just a little.
After explaining how you three caught Riddle-tsum, Ace suggests that they leave you and your Tsum with Riddle-tsum to prevent it from escaping again or causing trouble. Or hurt someone else. Riddle hesitates at first, as he is the one responsible for taking care of his tsum, but soon after, Riddle-tsum hits a student for breaking some rule and Riddle starts arguing with it so he stops attacking others.
You place a hand on Riddle's shoulder to try to calm him down a little and at that moment both of your attention went to your tsums. Your Tsum was between you and Riddle-tsum.
โ€œYou know, they remind me of the hedgehogs in a way.โ€ Riddle says โ€œAnd now they are reminding me of when they come closer to smell each other or to rub each other's noses. I can't deny that I find it quite cute whenever they do it.โ€
And then your Tsum starts rubbing its little round nose against Riddle-tsum's and caressing it to calm it down. And it works. It returns the affection by staying very close to your Tsum.
Riddle blushes a little again, and says that, reconsidering Ace's suggestion and if you want, you could take care of your tsums together.

You were walking with your Tsum in your arms when you saw Cater and his Tsum on Main Street. Cater-tsum seemed to be curled defensively around something Cater was trying to retrieve.
โ€œLook, you can't have it, okay?!โ€ You hear Carter say to his Tsum as you get close to them.
You greet him by asking what they are doing. Cater gives you a quick glance before turning his attention back to Cater-tsum, as if he's afraid that if he looks away it'll escape.
โ€œHey, (Y/N)-chan! I'm trying to get my-โ€ He quickly looks back at you, more specifically at the adorable little thing you have in your arms. โ€œOh!... My!... Great Seven!โ€ He turns his body towards you, his gaze so fixed on your Tsum that he doesn't even blink. โ€œYOU HAVE A TSUMMY TOO! And it's the most adorable little thing I've ever seen in my life!โ€
Suddenly you both got jumpscared as something jumps towards you. It was Cater-tsum jumping into your arms! Despite the scare, you manage to catch it and it starts to nestle into your arms and cuddle your Tsum. Cater looks at the floor where Tsum was and sees his cell phone left behind. He retrieves it.
โ€œWe HAVE to take a pic of them!โ€ Cater says excitedly โ€œNo! We have to do a whole photoshoot! Here! It's a great place to start.โ€
If you like taking pictures, your Tsum will be very excited. If you are shy, your Tsum will turn around to hide its face in your arms.
โ€œAwwwww~ Thatโ€™s even more adorable! Pwease! I beg you~" He says to your Tsum. Cater-tsum will also make pleading eyes at your Tsum.
The four of you spend a lot of time taking pictures in different places. Both pictures of the Tsums and of you with Cater. Until Cater and his Tsum have enough pictures to finally let you and your Tsum rest.
You sit on a bench, you with your Tsum on your lap and Cater with his Tsum on his lap, both of them editing photos on his cell phone. However, you feel your Tsum move and leave your lap to headbutt Cater's hand that was holding the cell phone, making it fall against his belly. After that, your tsum just stands there looking at Cater-tsum with a slightly annoyed look. Cater-tsum smiles with its tiny eyes and jumps against your tsum so they can cuddle each other.
Cater looks at the Tsums protecting the cell phone against his chest, watches them for a moment and then looks at you.
โ€œHey, if you want to do the same, just need to ask, you know~?โ€ Cater says and winks at you.
If you accept, he'll put an arm around your shoulders and edit the photos with you, while your two Tsums cuddle on your laps.

Your Tsum was restless, impatient. It really wanted to go somewhere. So you pick it up and walk around campus trying to understand where it wants to go. Fortunately you don't need to walk far, as the botanical garden is one of the closest points to Ramshackle Dorm.
As soon as you enter, your tsum jumps out of your arms and starts jumping (its way of running) somewhere in the middle of some bushes. And you know that spot well. As soon as you stop seeing it, you hear a patient growl.
โ€œAnother one?โ€ You hear Leona's voice. โ€œHey! What do you think you're doing?!โ€ You follow the voice, pass through the bushes and see Leona lying down with two tsums on top of his torso. Your Tsum and Leona-tsum, cuddled up like two cats sleeping with each other.
โ€œHerbivore, get your stuffie thing out of here and take the one that looks like me with you too. I'm not a nest to have two pesky armadillos sleeping on top of me!โ€
You kneel down next to him, looking at Leona-tsum with that โ€œHEโ€™S SO CUTE!โ€ twinkle in your eyes. Leona-tsum looks at you and its sleepy eyes suddenly open, almost bulging. And it jumps onto your chest, knowing you would catch it.
โ€œYou got one.โ€ Leona said. โ€œJust one more to-โ€ He interrupted himself, looking at his chest and seeing your tsum rising until it approached his face.
If you look at his face, you will see Leona's pupils dilating. And your tsum snuggling against his chest. You comment that you don't think your tsum will want to leave his side.
โ€œWhy don't you walk away with that one and see what happens? Maybe yours will follow.โ€
You are also curious to know what would happen. Leona-tsum was already sleeping in your arms.
You walk away with it, towards the exit of the botanical garden. Halfway there it wakes up and you feel it move in your arms. You stop and look at it. It seemed to have an annoyed look on its face, very similar to what Leona does when things aren't going according to his plans. You open your mouth to say or ask something, but it's Leona's voice that can be heard throughout the botanical garden.
โ€œOI!โ€ You hear Leona growl in annoyance. โ€œWho do you think you are demanding anythinโ€™ from me?!โ€ And then you hear him roar.
You come back with Leona-tsum in your arms, and you find your tsum pulling one of Leona's braids towards you as if it wanted to force him to come to you.
โ€œThis thing really takes after you.โ€ he comments, in a tone reminiscent of a father irritated with a child he deep down loves.
Leona-tsum jumps out of your arms and lazily approaches your tsum. Your tsum lets go of Leona's braid.
You both see Leona-tsum rubbing its cheek on your Tsum's cheek, and making a movement as if it was licking your Tsum's face. After calming your tsum down, the two of them curl up to sleep together.
โ€œWell, at least they're not bothering me anymore.โ€ Leona says. He closes his eyes, but right after, he opens one of them again to look at you. โ€œIf you're also going to stay here with your stuffie thing, at least be useful. This floor isn't the best pillow, you know?โ€ He makes that gesture for you to come closer with his index finger.
And if you let him use your lap to lie down, he will fall asleep in 3 seconds, just like his Tsum did.

You were in the Ramshackle Dorm Lounge with your Tsum and Grim was in your bedroom, probably taking a nap after eating too much, when you hear someone knocking at the door. You go open the door, leaving your Tsum on the couch. You do it and see Jack.
โ€œHi (Y/N). Sorry to bother you, but this Tsum-โ€ Before Jack could finish his sentence, you saw something near your feet come barreling through the door. You look back in time to see Jack-tsum turn to enter the Lounge. โ€œAh! Sorry. It won't sit still. Let's catch it before it does any damage.โ€
The two of you go to the lounge and stop right at the entrance. Jack-tsum was on the couch with your Tsum. Jack-tsum was jumping around your Tsum, its little tail wagging like crazy, and its eyes shining while also rubbing its face against your Tsumโ€™s as if licking it. It was just like a puppy wanting to play.
โ€œOI!โ€ Jack shouted โ€œDon't mess up (Y/N)'s couch!โ€
Jack-tsum sulked and your Tsum jumped from the couch to the floor. Jack-tsum followed it. Your Tsum approached Jack and smiled at him with its eyes, as if it were greeting him.
โ€œHum?โ€ Jackโ€™s ears pricked up as he looked down. โ€œYou also have a Tsum similar to you.โ€ He didn't realize his tail had started wagging.
Jack-tsum followed your Tsum and you felt the need to bend down to see Jack-tsum up close. It looked at you with big bright eyes and its tail wagging wildly. You comment on how cute it is and reach out to pet it.
โ€œBe careful.โ€ Jack warns you โ€œIt doesn't let anyone...โ€ You start to pet its head as it leans in your hand. โ€œ... touch it... What's the deal with this thing? Whenever anyone approached it would either move away or growl at them. How did you do that? I can't even catch it to take it to Savanaclaw.โ€
You say you don't know what you did either, if anything special. And you comment that it seems to like you. This makes Jack blush slightly.
โ€œHow would it not?โ€ he says softly, and without meaning to. He clears his throat. โ€œUm, do you mind if we stay here for a while? It seems to have finally settle down a bit.โ€
Your tsum goes to Jack-tsum's side and they both look at you as if begging you to say yes. You agree and the two Tsums bounce happily for a moment before they start running around the lounge together.
โ€œOI! You two be careful!โ€ Jack warns โ€œDon't break or mess anything up, you hear?!โ€
You laugh and comment on how much you think Jack and his Tsum look alike.
โ€œIt's just the hair and the outfit.โ€ he says a little embarrassed โ€œDo I look round and soft?!โ€
โ€œRound maybe not but soft...โ€ You laugh and he blushes.
Before he could open his mouth to try to respond to that, the tsums started running towards you and ended up bump into you as they passed, which made you lose your balance. Jack catches you.
โ€œWhat did I say?โ€ he shouts to the tsums. He looks at you. "Are you okay?" in his arms, and he releases you, blushing a little. โ€œSorry about that.โ€ he rubs the back of his neck. โ€œIt had never done this.โ€
โ€œMaybe it was a bad influence.โ€ you say and look at the Tsums. From the looks on their faces, especially your Tsumโ€™s, it wasn't an accident.
Tumblr media
You were walking down the Main Street with your Tsum in your arms when you hear footsteps running behind you, approaching quickly. You turn around in shock and see a very tall figure right in front of you. Then you realize it's Floyd.
โ€œBoo~โ€ Floyd smiles at you with something writhing violently in his arms. You look and see his Tsum trying to get free. You also notice, by the way he is holding Floyd-tsum, that he is using a lot of force. โ€œHi Koebi-chan~. Whatcha doin'~?โ€ He sees something in your arms and looks to find your Tsum. โ€œWoo! You have one too! And it looks so small and weak like you, how cute! He he.โ€
(What you don't know is that what really happened was that Floyd-tsum was loose and took off running when it saw you. The footsteps you heard were Floyd running to catch it before Floyd-tsum caught you first.)
Your Tsum made a sulky face, while Floyd-tsum continued to struggle in Floyd's arms. You say Floyd-tsum is also very cute, it stops and looks at you with smiling little eyes.
โ€œDo you wanna play with it?โ€ Floyd asks and you say yes. โ€œSure, but careful how you handle it. Itโ€™s easy to set this guy-โ€ The moment he let his arms go slack for a second, Floyd-tsum jumped into your arms.
With difficulty, but you managed to catch it without letting your tsum fall. Now you had them both in your arms. You saw it squeezing your tsum while it snuggled into your arms. However, your tsum didn't seem uncomfortable, quite the opposite, it felt like a passionate everyday hug.
Between letting Floyd-tsum jump out of his arms, until realizing that it wouldn't hurt you, Floyd stared at his Tsum with that serious face that all students who know him the least bit fear.
โ€œAw~ Aren't they cute together?โ€ he says with his usual relaxed expression. He sees that you are having difficulty holding both tsums. โ€œLet them go. They can walk on their own. Or hop, I guess.โ€
You do so. The two Tsums land on the ground and Floyd-tsum jumps up to continue hugging your Tsum. But before it can, Floyd quickly picks up your Tsum in his arms and starts squeezing it too.
โ€œMY TURN!โ€ Floyd says to his Tsum.
This one sulks, looks at you and jumps back towards you. You catch it and it hugs your forearm. You and Floyd laugh, until the pressure in your arm starts to increase to the point where it starts to hurt. The moment you grimace, Floyd's expression changes, he lets go of your tsum and rips his off your arm.
โ€œI warned you.โ€ he says to his tsum, with the same face he uses to threaten students who don't pay Azul. โ€œSomeone is not keeping their side of the deal.โ€
Floyd-tsum manages to escape and hugs your tsum again, but without hurting it. Floyd looks at you, who looks slightly sad, and sees you rubbing the forearm that Tsum was squeezing. He holds your wrist to see better. There is a slight reddish mark. He lets go of your wrist, turns to the Tsums and lifts his foot as if to step on his tsum. Before you could stop him, your tsum does it, getting out of Floyd-tsum's embrace and positioning itself between it and Floyd's sole when he was about to hit his Tsum. He looks at your tsum's fearless face for a moment and laughs heartily.
โ€œHA HA HA HA! It also takes after you, Koebi-chan~โ€ He puts his foot back on the ground and turns back to you. โ€œWe were going to Mostro Lounge. Do you want to come?โ€
Tumblr media
With your Tsum in your arms, you were walking down Main Street when you heard a scream. It sounded like someone was being attacked by a dog or something. You follow the sound and see Epel, another Pomefiore student, and an Epel-tsum attacking this student while Epel tries to stop it.
Your tsum jumps out of your arms and runs (or hops) towards them until it stops between Epel-tsum and the student, preventing the tsum from attacking him again. And then, your tsum headbutted Epel-tsum so hard that it even knocked it upside down for a moment. Enough time for Epel to catch it. The other student runs away and Epel-tsum begins to struggle in Epel's arms.
โ€œStop it!โ€ Epel complained โ€œYa can't go arounยด attackinยด students!โ€
You approach them asking if everything is okay and if he needs help. Epel-tsum stops and looks at you. You smile when you see that Epel also has a tsum and comment on how cute it is (like any tsum).
โ€œNo! Don't call it that!โ€ The Tsum manages to jump out of Epel's arms and towards you.
He panics, but instead of the Tsum hitting you, it lands in your arms and just looks at you with a sulky face. You say it's still being cute, and once again, instead of it attacking you, its little face turns red with blush.
Epel freezes, completely confused for a moment until he thinks about what could be the possible reason for you being the only person who called the Tsum cute and it didn't attack. And when he thinks of the most likely reason, he also blushes.
Your tsum also jumped into Epel's arms, surprising him. It smiles at him with its cute little eyes and his blush deepens. Your voice is the only thing that makes Epel look away from your Tsum, asking if you could accompany him and his Tsum if they were going to Pomefiore.
In his dorm, needless to say, Rook wasted no time praising the Tsums, both Epel's and yours. But since Epel's Tsum didn't seem to appreciate the comments very much, especially if they focused on the fact that it was cute, Rook ended up turning his attention to your Tsum, which ended up bothering Epel's Tsum even more.
โ€œIt looks like someone is jaloux.โ€ย Rook says smiling amused.
That was the only thing that made Epel-tsum throw itself at him, to attack. Rook dodged it like a bullfighter with the grace of someone who was expecting it. Epel panicked and quickly picked up his tsum and apologized to Rook.
โ€œThere is no reason to apologize, Monsieur Pommette.โ€ Rook says, loving the situation more than he should. โ€œTruly. I must confess that my provocation was premeditated. C'est tellement beauย to see your true feelings and emotions through your Tsum's lack of filter.โ€
โ€œWHA-?! WHAT IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!โ€
Rook just laughs, winks at Epel and starts walking towards the door. Halfway there he passes you, leans over and whispers in your ear: โ€œCould you tame the little beast for us, Trickster?โ€ and leaves.
Epel's Tsum struggled in his arms, angry... with jealousy.
Tumblr media
Your Tsum was restless, impatient. It really wanted to go somewhere. So you pick it up and walk around campus trying to understand where it wants to go. You leave Ramshackle Dorm, pass the Botanical Garden and the Alchemy Workshop and arrive at the Hall of Mirrors.
As soon as you enter, your Tsum escapes from your arms and quickly jumps until it enters the mirror to Diasmonia. You follow it, but you realize that you lost sight of it the moment it passed through the mirror.
โ€œGood afternoon, (Y/N)!โ€ Lilia is the first to come and greet you. โ€œTo what do we owe such a wonderful surprise visit?โ€
You tell him about your tsum.
โ€œAh yes! Sebek also has a cute little lookalike. I can't wait to see yours. Although if it's as adorable or even more adorable than you, we're going to have a cuteness overdose problem in this dorm. Khe he. Well, from what I understand, and despite Sebek denying it, the personality of these tsums is very similar to the personality of those they physically resemble. So if your tsum wanted to come here, where do you think it would have gone? Where would you want to go?โ€
You don't think about a โ€˜whereโ€™ย but rather a โ€˜whoโ€™ย and that may have shown on your face, beacuse Lilia laughs amusedly.
โ€œSo maybe your tsum went to meet someone? Maybe a fellow tsum? Khe he he. I suggest we look for Malleus. Wherever he is, Sebek and Silver will be there too.โ€
The two of you head to the lounge, but before you get there you can already hear all the commotion. Aka: Sebekโ€™s thunderous voice.
โ€œDon't look at me like that! No matter who your looks resemble, you're bothering Malleus-sama and meddling in our, I mean my guard duties!โ€
โ€œActually,โ€ You hear Malleus's patient voice say. โ€œI am quite enjoying this little one's presence. It's as pleasant as (Y/N)'s own presence. Wouldn't you agree, Sebek?โ€
โ€œHM?! Yes! Of course sir! Please forgive me for implying that this Tsum's presence was inconvenient.โ€
You and Lilia arrive at the lounge and approach those two. Sebek, as expected, was standing very straight next to Malleus, who was sitting in one of the sofas. Coming closer, you see that both your Tsum and Sebek's Tsum are in Malleus' lap. And Sebek-tsum looked like it was... about to cry?
โ€œAWW~ Look at you.โ€ Lilia said, your Tsum turned to him. โ€œYou are even cuter than I imagined. *sigh* What an unfair competition.โ€
The moment Sebek-tsum sees you is when it finally starts crying.
โ€œHUM?! What is wrong with you?โ€ Sebek inquires. โ€œYou are such a strange creature.โ€
โ€œI think it's too much emotion to see so many people it likes together.โ€ Lilia says with a smirk.
โ€œW-Well, regardless, it should learn to control itself!โ€
You come closer, worried about Sebek-tsum, and ask if it would like a hug to feel better. It looks at you, then at Malleus, back at you, Malleus, you, Malleus, and on until it almost gets dizzy and the indecision seems to make it more sad.
โ€œI think I have an idea.โ€ Malleus says. โ€œ(Y/N), would you like to sit next to me?โ€
You sit down, he asks you to come closer until your thighs touch, so he can place Sebek-tsum on both of your laps at the same time. It, still in tears, seemed to be thanking Malleus with his eyes and head.
โ€œHow intelligent and generous, my liege!โ€ Even Sebek himself had a tear in the corner of his eye.
He was about to continue his praise when your Tsum jumped from Malleus' lap into Sebek's hands. He caught it as if he was saving it from a fall. It looked at him and smiled with its eyes.
โ€œHow precious.โ€ He said with a tender smile, as he was still emotional about Malleus's act. Then he realized what he had just said and blushed in embarrassment. But he didn't stop holding your Tsum.

***
Since your arrival in Twisted Wonderland, you have begun to grasp the language and culture of this world. For the most part, at least.
You remember as clear as day when you first arrived, the pure confusion of the Headmage and those around you. Words from your lips were pure gibberish to them. They stared at you like you were an anomalyโ€” and they were right. You are one.
โ€˜Glitchyโ€™ is the term they have used to describe your voice. โ€œIt is as though the sound around you warps everytime you speak.โ€ The Headmageโ€” Crowleyโ€” said.
The man had given you a necklace alongside an old dorm he housed you in. It was a simple looking necklace. A small mirror charm dangles in the center of it. Subtle enough to not draw attention to it.
It wasn't just a necklace however. It was a translator, a universal one.
The โ€˜glitchesโ€™ from your mouth had stopped and became the strange sounds the natives here spoke. Still, the necklace is just a buffer. Just because you can understand them doesn't mean you know what they're saying.
You still do not know the slang, the culture, the phrases, the grammar. Words still slipped your mind. You swear all you can hear is gibberish at timesโ€“ and honestly you donโ€™t doubt it occasionally is when students want to mess with you. You still had a lot to learn and there have been many miscommunications along the way. All part of the journey you suppose.
The staff here weren't coddling at all but they were accommodating. They made it clear that they favored no student more than the other. (At least that's what they claim.) But they also understood that holding you to the same standard would be unfair.
Mozus Trein
Professor Mozus Trein was a blessing when it came to learning about this world. His history classes made understanding this place easier. Trein would even give you extra context with his lessons to help you understand the everyday things and universal knowledge that you are unaware of.
His standards for your essays were different. He was no less strict on you but he was reasonable. He could tell that you truly understood the concept and put effort into your papers despite the language barrier and he is not going to punish you for learning.
You would get your paper back with a high grade and a page of corrections with explanations for each one. Why this comma here wrong. Why this was the wrong conjugation of that word. How this sentence could be improved.
โ€œExcuse me, Professor?โ€ You test the words as you speak them, accent slipping out. Trein looks to you from his desk. "Yes?โ€
โ€œThis word here is marked as wrong, but I remember you saying โ€˜I before E except after C.โ€™โ€ You tilt the paper to him and the older man adjusts himself on seat.
โ€œLet me see hereโ€ฆโ€ Trein paused to read the paper, expert eyes scanning for any potential mistakes. โ€œAh I see, that word there is an exception. โ€˜Sovereignโ€™ doesn't follow that rule.โ€ He closed his eyes as he explained and you nodded in understanding.
โ€œI see, so I just have to memorize it. Are there any other words like that?โ€ You didn't like how Trein seemed to frown as he thought about it. He hadn't realized how many there were. โ€œYes there are. A lot more than I anticipated Iโ€™m afraid,โ€ a sigh escapes his lips and he shakes his head.
โ€œI will not hold this against your grade since you have been improving with each assignment. Little mistakes like this will be forgiven so long as they are not repeated. Allow me to adjust your grade accordingly.โ€
You tilted your head as your B+ went to an A-. A small smile decorates your features. Trein nods to you and hands you your paper back. โ€œThere you are then. On to you next class.โ€ You turn to leave but are stopped by when he speaks again.
โ€œYou should be proud of yourself, Yuu. You are the hardest working student I've have ever had the pleasure of teaching.โ€ You perked up and your smile grew as you were onto your next class.
Divus Crewel
Professor Divus Crewelโ€™s classes were difficult for completely different reasons. Math and numbers were the same for the most part aside from some minor symbol changes. Word problems were the bane of your existence however. Thankfully Divus can see that you understand the math. He'll often pass you or only take half a point off if you use the wrong equation or misunderstand the question and such.
He also gave you a small private lesson about alchemy as well. Teaching you the basic terms and proper protocols that most students would have learned early in their education. He'd show how to differentiate the effects an ingredient would have by the prefixes of their names or symbols on the vial.
But most importantly he would help you socially. What you should dress like for certain events. The correct way to speak so you could sound like a native. Social cues.
And he would refuse to admit it but you were his prized pup over the rest. He may or may not have slipped you a few perfumes or clothing under the guise of โ€œCrowley not providing enoughโ€ or โ€œTaking stress off of you to do better in class.โ€ You knew better though.
After all, how could he play off giving a coat similar to his? It was less flashy and more suited to your tastes. It wasn't obvious to anyone else that you matched him unless they really observed. Perfect to wear in his class.
He's always looking out for you. Making sure you are safe and secure. And should you get injured from another adventure, he is there with a potion in hand.
Dire Crowley
Crowley was the one that gave you the necklace and a place to stay. Though eccentric and a bit wellโ€ฆ lazy, you couldnโ€™t deny that this was a good display of his generosity. Even if he does make you work for it.
Crowley was a strange one. He'd gift you some magical object one day and then forget you exist the next. Heโ€™d help you with your paperwork for accommodations and then forget to approve of them.
One time he dropped off a stack of paperwork on you to do for him but still left you a huge comprehensive guide that teaches you how to do each one. On top of that there was even a translation card meant to help you. If he put this much effort into these papers he'd be done by now. You assume he made this so he can drop more on you in the future. You swear he mentioned he's doing this to you to โ€˜prepare you for when you become the new headmageโ€” er headmaster.โ€™ Yeah right.
He'd give you dangerous tasks then become overprotective if any boy dare get too close to you. He'd help with anything but only if you stroke his ego. Yet despite it all he was still, as much as you hated to admit it, generous.
Despite everything, he has taken you in instead of abandoning you in this world. You swear sometimes he acts like a dad to youโ€ฆ When its convenient.
He's so annoying but you canโ€™t find it in your heart to truly hate him. He may get you in trouble, but the moment it becomes too dangerous he steps in without hesitation to protect you and gives you a huge lecture after.
You hope you learn enough of the language to properly scold him.
Ashton Vargas
โ€œIs this really necessary?โ€ You ask the coach in front who re-wraps your hands tightly. โ€œAbsolutely it is!โ€ The Coach's booming voice resonates in you as he pats you on your back rather roughly. โ€œGive me another punch.โ€
You swallow and raise your hands again. You hesitate. โ€œCome on kid you aren't gonna leave a dent in me!โ€ You swallow and swing at his stomach. Vargas was right, he doesn't even flinch as your arm practically vibrates.
โ€œThat was a good form! I almost felt it.โ€ A great guffaw rumbles in his chest. โ€œAgain!โ€ Another punch, he looks down approvingly.
โ€œNot bad, not bad at all. I sense a lot of potential in you, kid. That's enough for today.โ€ You breathe a sigh of relief as you wipe your brow and unwrap your hands.
โ€œSeems my training regiment is working, you're getting stronger by the day. Stillโ€” this on its own isn't enough. You need protein, kid! Lots of it. And you know what a good source of protein is?โ€
You stare at him for a moment. โ€œThose uhโ€ฆโ€ the word slips your mind. โ€œChickenโ€ฆ capsulesโ€ฆ?โ€
โ€œBingo! But they're called Eggs here Yuu.โ€ Ashton puts a hand on his hip and makes a fist. โ€œYou should start with a dozen eggs per day and increase from there. I know that headmage can't be relied on to pay you in time, so I personally will deliver some bulking meals myself!โ€
โ€œ... Why are you doing this for me?โ€ Your voice comes out a bit quiet as you speak. Ashton looks at you for a minute. โ€œWhy? Because youโ€™re my student and I want to see you succeed. You got some serious strength hidden in you, and it would br a shame to see it wasted. Besidesโ€ฆโ€
As he speaks he starts taking down those punchy things, sandbags, you think. โ€œThe students here are quite rowdy. I want you to be able to defend yourself, especially since you don't have magic. You have to rely on brawn, Yuu! And I will be the one to awaken it.โ€
Vargas strikes a pose for a moment before relaxing. โ€œBefore you go I need to teach you some vocabulary.โ€
โ€œVocabularyโ€ฆ?โ€
โ€œAbout your muscles of course!โ€ The coach sat you down for a moment as he went into kinesiology. Micros and macros. Bulking. He broke it all down for you while flexing his muscles to emphasize his points.
โ€œNow off you go Yuu, meet me here same time tomorrow, got it?โ€
Sam
Sam is a cool dude. You interact with him a lot. He never had an issue when you were first learning to speak. In fact he'd help you find the products you described to him. Of course he'd try and convince you to buy the more premium products but that's just business.
He'd even offer you a gig or two. His shelves don't stock themselves and his shadow friends wouldn't mind some extra help. Just know they can be a bit mischievous. While you were working you'd even get a small employee discount.
Even though your language has gotten better, there is still the occasional mix up.
โ€œAh, prefect! What can I do for you?โ€ Sam queried while leaning on the counter top, delighted to see one of his favorite customers. โ€œI am looking forโ€ฆ umโ€ฆโ€ You froze. What was that word again??
โ€œTheโ€ฆ white liquid?โ€ You watched as Sam racked his brain for what you meant. โ€œAn invisibility potion?โ€
โ€œNo no! It's likeโ€ฆ a juice?โ€
โ€œAh! I got it! Coconut milk!โ€ The man snapped his fingers and winked. He frowned a bit when you shook your head.
โ€œWait here.โ€ The shadow man watched as you ventured into the small smack aisle in front of him. Soon you took a bag of beef jerky and pointed to the small symbol on it. โ€œWhat is this animal called again?โ€
โ€œThat's a cow.โ€
โ€œYes! I need the juice from it! The cow juice! What is its name? I forgot.โ€ you perked up and beamed at him, hoping he understood. It all clicked for Sam, and he let out a hearty laugh at the realization.
โ€œDo you mean milk, perchance?โ€
โ€œYes! I knew it had that sound! I need milk!โ€ Sam chuckled again and waves his hand, sending a small shadow to retrieve some. โ€œBy the way would you be down to do some work tonight?โ€
โ€œTonight? Yeah, I can always use some extra cash.โ€ The prefect was always so easy going. Guess they had to be in a place like this.
โ€œGood. I'll apply your discount right now then!โ€
Heartslabyul
Your favorite Heartslabyul members have invited you to join them. Another Unbirthday party was to be hosted and the stars aligned today for the whole deck to help with the baking. It felt nice to be with them. They were like a family in a way, being with them felt like home. Alongside baking, there was some cooking being done too.
โ€œGeez you really do like your eggs, huh?โ€ Cater asked the spade who stirred his chopsticks with precision. He is determined to make the perfect tornado omelet.
โ€œOh you have no idea.โ€ Ace tsked. โ€œWhenever we go out to a restaurant it's the only thing he orders.โ€
โ€œNot true!โ€ Deuce's interjection wasn't as strong as it usually is, much to focused on his creation. โ€œYeah only if they dont offer any.โ€ Ace retorts.
โ€œGrim, it is unsanitary to touch the batter,โ€ Riddle breaks up the impending argument to chide the direbeast โ€˜helpingโ€™ him stir, โ€œTrey how many egg yolks do I add?โ€
โ€œThree. You sure got it Riddle?โ€ Riddle pouts a bit. He knows he got a shell in the batter last time but he's trying! โ€œI'll get it right this time, you can count on it.โ€
โ€œOoh, give the egg whites to Deuce if you aren't using them!โ€ Deuce mutters a thank you to Cater as he finishes up his omelet. โ€œDoes anyone else want one?โ€
Noโ€™s resound across the kitchen aside from you and Grim which makes Deuce smile. โ€œAlright, what kind do you want Yuu? I'm still unsure on what kind you prefer.โ€ Deuce looks a little embarrassed at not knowing despite how long you've been friends.
Before anyone could tease Deuce, Trey asks the worst question he possibly could without knowing. โ€œActually how do you like your eggs in the morning, Yuu? I rarely see you eat breakfast in the cafeteria.โ€
You pause for a moment, the pan you were greasing slipping slightly. Then you chuckled. โ€œThat's very bold of you Trey, I never expected you of all people to say thatโ€ฆ But judging by everyone else's reaction, I assume it doesn't mean anything here?โ€
โ€œOh? Does it mean something different where you from?โ€ Riddle asks, looking over at you. โ€œIt does actually.โ€ Cater looks up from his phone he was reading the recipe from, noticing your amused expression. โ€œWhat else could possibly it mean though?โ€ You hold in a laugh. Perhaps this wasn't the best time to bring it up but you can't help it.
โ€œIs that so? I sure hope I didn't say anything offensive. What does it mean?โ€ Poor Trey; he chuckles as he decorates one of the finished cakes not knowing the storm that's brewing.
โ€œYou essentially just propositioned me in front of everyone.โ€ The whole kitchen is silent as they stare at you. Trey looks flustered and confused out of his mind as an abundance of frosting squirts out of the bag. โ€œIโ€ฆ pardon?โ€
Ace speaks first โ€œHuh?! How does that make sense?โ€
โ€œProposition? What does that mean?โ€
โ€œDon't worry about it Grim.โ€ says the diamond. โ€œStill that seems far fetched, it's rude of you to mess with Trey like that you know!โ€
โ€œI'm not lying! It's actually what it means!โ€ Trey is adjusting his glasses now, embarrassment growing. Riddle looks horrified, trying to find his words. He's trying to rack his brain for a response before deciding to ask about it. His voice comes out a little hesitant and unsure. โ€œAre eggs part of some sort of courtship in your worldโ€ฆ?โ€
โ€œUmโ€ฆ sort of..?โ€ At your words Deuce pales. Ace takes this opportunity to be a little shit per usual. โ€œWow! Seems like you have a chance then, Deucy!โ€
โ€œOh shut it Ace! Wait, have I been propositioning you this whole time?!โ€ His face is red and he's hiding in his hands. He has offered so many egg dishes over the years. Oh God he must have made you so uncomfortableโ€” this isn't what an honor student would do!
โ€œI still don't know what that meansโ€ฆโ€ Grim grumbles.
โ€œNo no! Offering eggs is fine, it's just that particular phrase has very different connotations in my world.โ€
Ace is snickering at the whole situation, but especially at Deuceโ€™s panic. He's also just as confused, however. Trey finally has the courage to speak. โ€œUm, how exactly does that meanโ€ฆโ€ He trails off, defeated. โ€œI'm sorry Yuu, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortableโ€ฆโ€
โ€œYou didn't. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to tease you too muchโ€ฆโ€
โ€œOkay, but how exactly does that mean that?โ€
โ€œYeah I'm with Cater on this oneโ€ฆโ€ Ace adds.
โ€œEnlighten me.โ€ Riddle puts his hands on his hips, morbid curiosity getting the better of him.
โ€œSoโ€ฆ When someone asks that they essentially mean to say they're gonna invite you to spend the night with them and cook you breakfast in the morning.โ€ Trey looks even more embarrassed but so does Riddle.
โ€œSo it's a sleepover? That's it?โ€ Grim asks just to be waived off by Cater again who vibrating with laughter.
โ€œThat's a pretty convoluted way of askingโ€ฆโ€ Deuce looks to the side, also a little flustered. โ€œYeah it makes no sense for me either, and I'm from that world, but that is what it meansโ€ฆโ€
โ€œWow so Trey really is bold!โ€ Cater snickers as Ace joins in with a โ€œI never knew you had it in you.โ€
โ€œEnough with this vulgar talk!โ€ Riddle commands, clearly demanding the conversation to be over.
โ€œI am never gonna live this down aren't I?โ€
Leona Kingscholar
I am gonna nerd a lil abt aztec mythology rn and I'm not apologizing
Herbivore is what he called you. It was meant to be an insult but you never took offense. There is no other creature that fights harder than prey that is fighting for their life or backed into a corner. If anything it was a compliment. You've seen how hard they can fight.
Yet today Leona took the title further. โ€œYou are honestly like a little rabbit. All this confidence and attitude, yet harmless.โ€ You raised a brow at him. โ€œThank you.โ€
Leona's eyes shift ever so slightly. โ€œYou're taking it as a compliment?โ€ You tilt your head. โ€œI assume rabbit in this world is synonymous with fragility hereโ€ฆ? Odd. They're a symbol of warriors back in my world.โ€
โ€œIs that so?โ€ Leona speaks boredly, but he doesn't excuse himself or tell you to shut up. โ€œYeah, rabbits are these mighty warriors that are completely invincible. Children of one of the 5 sin gods too. Nothing can kill them. Centzon Tลtลchtin are no joke. Odd how they're considered weak here.โ€
You think for a moment. โ€œBut they are known to be constantly drunk all the time and play around, so I guess that could be an insultโ€ฆโ€ Leona just rubs his head. โ€œTake it however you wantโ€ฆโ€
Kalim al-Asim
โ€œLook at all the stars!โ€ Kalim exclaims, pointing up at the sky. He lands his carpet along the sand dunes, eyes full of wonder. He then looks to you with bated breath, waiting for your reaction.
โ€œIt's beautifulโ€ฆโ€ You whisper, overlooking the patterns of stars decorating the night sky. It was straight out of a painting, vast and whimsical. Kalim was glowing at your happiness. โ€œAaah, I'm glad you like it! I was hoping you would!โ€
You lean back against the ground. Shooting stars dart across the sky along the twinkling lights in a beautiful display. Your eyes land on the moon, admiring how different it was from your own.
โ€œThe moon looks beautiful tonight, doesn't it?โ€ You freeze for a moment. โ€œHaha, careful saying that to people from my world Kalim, not that you'll be running into anyone else from there anytime soonโ€ฆโ€
Kalim looks over to you, brows slightly furrowed. โ€œEh? What do you mean?โ€ You look back up the moon again. โ€œSaying โ€˜the moon looks beautiful tonightโ€™ where Iโ€™m from means I love you.โ€ There's a moment of silence as Kalim ponders.
โ€œWell then the moon looks beautiful tonight! I love all of my friends!โ€ Kalim grins at you, fist pumped to his chest.
โ€œIt's not like that, Kalim. It's for romantic feelings. Funny, since coming here I've had a lot of experiences that would be considered flirtatious in my wordโ€ฆโ€ You laugh a bit before a small frown appears on your features but Kalim snaps you out if it.
โ€œSo what you're saying isโ€ฆ it's a love confession?โ€ His eyes are glimmering, the moon reflecting on them beautifully.
โ€œYou got it.โ€
โ€œThen the moon looks beautiful tonight.โ€
Jamil Viper
So in TWST the languages aren't called the same thing in our world but I couldn't figure out the language of the Scalding Sands so I made one up. Can be a psuedo-prequel to my other fic Missing Yuu. It can be read here!
โ€œYour Arabic is so similar yet so different than my world's versionโ€ Jamil pauses his mumbling and hums in question. โ€œArabic?โ€
โ€œIt's a language where I'm from. It sounds very similar to yours. Like I swear it could be some sort of dialect of it.โ€
โ€œScaldic, you mean?โ€ You nod looking over at him from where you lay in his bed. โ€œIs that what it's called? It's a pretty language.โ€ Jamil messes with the stereo in his room, taking out an old CD and browsing for another he wanted to show you. โ€œMaybe once you get more comfortable in this language, I can teach you a bit.โ€
โ€œThat would be lovely, thanks Jamilโ€ As the sounds of shuffling continue from his search and you absentmindedly mess with your necklace before sitting up. โ€œWait! I know!โ€
Jamil perks and turns to you, watching as you start to take off your necklace. โ€œHere put this on, you've shown me so much music from your world, let me show you some from mine!โ€
You offer the necklace over, shaking it a little for encouragement. Jamil takes it gently and examines the necklace. He lifts up his hair and slips it on, feeling a warmth on his chest from where the mirror lay.
You speak, and Jamil braces against the weird feeling of the necklace warping your glitched gibberish from your throat into his native language. โ€œCan you hear me?โ€ The words echoed in his head a bit. He took a moment to fully process them as they reverberated in his head.
He almost replies in his native tongue, but the amulet compels him to speak another language. Your language.โ€œYes, I can.โ€ He replies, slurring a bit as he feels his words echo and warp. Strangeโ€ฆ he knows what he's saying but he can't understand it.
โ€œYou have an accent, well that makes senseโ€ฆโ€ You chuckle a bit as he sits beside you, taking a moment to adjust to the sensation. โ€œI never thought about how the enchantments on these worked. I assumed that it would be instant. Is this what it's like for you?โ€
โ€œCrowley said it would probably be different for me cause I'm not from this world. See why I ask you to repeat things all the time? โ€ฆ thanks for not getting too annoyed with that by the way.โ€
You tap away on your phone for a moment. โ€œHere we go, I got some songs in Arabic for you, look.โ€ Jamil watches you press play and takes in the music. It was ethereal, so different yet so similar to his worlds. Uncanny yet compelling. Then the lyrics start and he furrows his brows.
โ€œIt really is like Scaldic.โ€ he replies, closing his eyes. โ€œIts like if I focus hard enough I can hear it in my own language, but I cant.โ€
โ€œSee what I mean?โ€ Jamil nods. โ€œI think I'm picking up some words though, but there's no guarantee the meaning is the same.โ€
โ€œYeah it's how I feel all the time hereโ€ฆ its frustrating at times. Oddly enough there are some words that stay the same, mostly food for example. Like mahalabia or horchata for example.โ€
โ€œHuh, odd how that worksโ€ฆโ€ the music coursing through his body invigorates him. He can imagine all the potential ways to move to this.
โ€œYeah. And it's the same dish tooโ€” well sort of. It tastes so similar yet so different. I miss my world's food, but I'm slowly forgetting the taste of it. Its just vauge memory.โ€ Jamil peers over to the saddened expression on your face. He never even considered that part of being from another world.
โ€œ... How about we listen to your music while cooking, then? I'm sure we can make something that tastes like home.โ€ Your face brightens. โ€œThat sounds nice.โ€
Vil Schoenheit
โ€œThank you for putting up with my accent, it must be annoying to deal with.โ€ You sip on the tea he offered you, trying your best to abide by the manners in this world. Vil merely looked at you.
โ€œIt's not annoying at all. Your accent is fine just the way it is.โ€ He almost seemed disappointed by the insinuation.
โ€œAhโ€ฆ Sorry I just saw that Epelโ€™s usually not allowed to use his accent around you, so I assumed I shouldn't either.โ€ Vil sighs.
โ€œThat's different. You have already proven yourself strong and beautiful enough to be who you are. Epel on the other hand needs to learn to accept himself for who he is first before he can truly be the person he wants to be. He must prove to me he can love himself as he is. If I hated accents, I wouldn't have let Rook speak in his."
โ€œAh I seeโ€ฆ Thank you.โ€ It wasn't everyday that you get praise from the Vil Schoenheit. โ€œYour speech has improved, though I may point out there are some words you may need to work on. Your accent may make it sound like you are talking about something else entirely. Hmmโ€ฆโ€
You hold your breath as he thinks. โ€œI want you to grow into the best spudling you can be, so how about you take voice lessons from me?โ€ Vil seems to smirk at your surprised expression. โ€œFrom you..?โ€
Vil nods. โ€œYes. This way you can grow more confident in your speech and vocabulary. That voice of yours is beautiful, it just needs to be tuned.โ€ You look at your tea then to him. โ€œI accept.โ€

Master List
Tumblr media Tumblr media
โฅ Riddle Rosehearts
Growing up his mother didnโ€™t give him much affection. He wasnโ€™t treated like a child, more like a trophy. Something you keep just out of reach, something you only lay your eyes on. Riddle is terribly touch starved and doesnโ€™t know it. So when you start showing him acts of affection he has no idea how to handle it. What does he do? When is it okay to do these acts? Donโ€™t mind how stiff he is when you hug him or how red he turns if you hold hands. It's something heโ€™s never felt before, and you have unlocked something deep inside Riddle that had been tucked away. So please, give him another hug would you? It helps slowly heal something in him he didnโ€™t know was broken.ย 
โฅ Trey Clover
Trey is a total sweetheart. He doesnโ€™t mind affection at all. Growing up with siblings, heโ€™s used to hugging and hand holding. Whether you're affectionate out the gate or need a little coaxing, it's like Trey instinctively knows. Heโ€™ll ask before doing anything, asking for consent, getting to know your boundaries. If you donโ€™t like affection, thatโ€™s fine with him, if you only like being affectionate behind closed doors he doesnโ€™t mind. Just know that Trey loves any and all forms of affection you show him, no matter how big or little. He cherishes you, and heโ€™ll show you that in any form you prefer.ย 
โฅ Cater Diamond
We all know Cater doesnโ€™t mind hanging off you out in public. Hugs, cheek kisses, hand holding, you name it, heโ€™s probably done it. What he doesnโ€™t want people knowing is how tiring it is for him to keep up that facade. Although, when it comes to you he doesnโ€™t even register half the things he does. Youโ€™re like a magnet that pulls him in. Though, his favorite forms of affection are behind closed doors, just the two of you, no camera. Whether it be you two existing in the same room, or you laying on his chest or vice versa, those are his favorite moments. He doesnโ€™t have to pretend, doesnโ€™t have to put on a mask to make others happy because he is happy with you.ย 
โฅ Deuce Spade
Even though Deuceโ€™s mom has showered him with affection growing up, heโ€™s still shy about it. His image before was a punk, and now heโ€™s trying to be an honor student. So if you ever hug him or try to hold his hand his face will flame up and he wonโ€™t be able to meet your eyes. Heโ€™s a gentleman though, through and through. Always makes sure you're comfortable even if youโ€™re the one who initiated. Heโ€™s not too picky when it comes to affectionโ€ฆbut he does prefer if you do it behind closed doors. He loves your kisses, but he doesn't love Ace teasing him about it.
โฅ Ace Trappola
Oh boy. Ace is a little gremlin. He acts like your affection doesnโ€™t do anything, acts all smug like you're lucky for being able to hold his hand. All the while his mind is melting and the bright blush on his face gives his true feelings away. I wouldnโ€™t say heโ€™s exactly touch starved, but he does crave your affection. When he became a teen he stopped hugging his parents โ€˜cus his brother would make fun of him otherwise. He crafted his unbothered persona, and didnโ€™t realize how much he missed hugging until you gave him one. He rarely initiates, but sometimes he crumbles.
Tumblr media
โฅ Leona Kingscholar
Heโ€™s another one who didnโ€™t grow up with much affection, always watching as his older brother Falena got all the praise. Heโ€™s bitter, seeing affection as a weakness, like showing your underbelly to your predator. Being soft got you nowhere in the animal kingdomโ€ฆbut he did enjoy it when you played with his hair or kissed his cheek. It left an odd warm feeling to fill him, making him grumble about your idiocy. Deep down, he was scared about how much he enjoyed your affection, scared heโ€™d be upstaged once more and youโ€™d find someone else to love. So heโ€™ll just make sure that doesnโ€™t happen, โ€˜cus thereโ€™s no one better than him after all.
โฅ Ruggie Bucchi
Where heโ€™s from, showing affection is like putting a target on your back. It shows a weakness that someone could take advantage of. This is why Ruggie is so skittish at first, always making an excuse to run away if you go to hug him, your hands brush and heโ€™s lifting his hands up to his head (yโ€™know that one position). But once he warms up, realizes you wonโ€™t snatch his food and run like a thief, he finds himself enjoying your embrace. Itโ€™s like heaven to lay his head in your lap as you feed him an orange. How your hands trace his face so lovingly, like trash like him is actually worth something.
โฅ Jack Howl
Jack is a bit awkward when it comes to affection. Heโ€™s closed off, but his tough personality does melt away to reveal a heart of gold. He doesnโ€™t mind if you hold his hand, just please donโ€™t mention the pink that tints his cheeks. He does enjoy when it's just the two of you, he feels more relaxed, like he can actually take in your warmth. His hugs might be a bit uncomfortable with all that muscle, but donโ€™t tell him that โ€˜cus he might stop hugging you then :( On the bright side, you could sit on his back while he does push ups :)ย 
Tumblr media
โฅ Azul Ashengrotto
This guyโ€ฆyou canโ€™t even compliment him without him running away at first. Although Azulโ€™s mom was almost over affectionate, heโ€™s another one that gets shy at the thought of anything affectionate. He was ridiculed growing up, which made him sharpen his edges. He has a persona to uphold, he canโ€™t beโ€ฆclingyโ€ฆoh is he clingy. Out in public it's only small acts, holding hands, hand resting on your lower back, kiss to the back of your hand. In private is a whole other story. Loves hugs, cuddling, kisses, staring at you. Azul doesnโ€™t get much alone time, so the moments you have together behind closed doors he likes to use to his full advantage. Can you blame him? You looked so lovely all day, do you know how terrible it was to watch you without giving you a kiss?
โฅ Jade Leech
Doesnโ€™t really need affection, but finds it cute when you seek him out. He loves you, yes, but affection isnโ€™t really his forte. He wonโ€™t deny you a kiss though, especially not when you pout so cutely. Jadeโ€™s more of a tease, due to the fact that he doesnโ€™t mind a lack of affection, he finds it hilarious to watch you long for it. Heโ€™ll brush his hand against yours, but wonโ€™t hold it. Heโ€™ll lean in close to your face only to whisper in your ear. Heโ€™ll gently brush his fingers over your cheekโ€ฆonly to pinch it. But if you're feeling down, he wonโ€™t hesitate to whisk you somewhere private and hold you close. He does love you after all.ย 
โฅ Floyd Leech
Another oh boy. His โ€˜affectionโ€™ can seem less like affection and more like torture. He wonโ€™t go easy on you either. In fact, heโ€™ll probably squeeze you tighter due to his cute aggression. Floyd, unlike Jade, loves, loves, loves hugging, holding, squeezing. Then you opened him to the world of kissing, biting. Good luck with that. Most of the time heโ€™s all over you, in public or in private, he doesnโ€™t care, if he wants to nibble on you heโ€™s gonna nibble on you. If youโ€™re uncomfy with that heโ€™ll try to tone it down (will he?), but he will probably forget and do it anyway. If heโ€™s in a sour mood he wonโ€™t seek out affection, but if you do the right thing it might make him feel a little betterโ€ฆbut be careful.
Tumblr media
โฅ Kalim Al Asim
He gives so many hugs it makes Jamil want to bash his head in. Do you know how many ways Kalim could get killed with how trusting he is? Expect hugs, hand holding, pulling, cheek kisses, and giggling. Heโ€™s not afraid to show the world how much he loves you, and he loves affection! When you show him affection thoughโ€ฆget ready for a giggly, blushy, kicking his feet in the air Kalim. Heโ€™s so used to being the one giving affection he forgot what it's like to receive it. Yeah a lot of his siblings love himโ€ฆbut a lot have also tried to assassinate him soโ€ฆ Jamil finds you to be a double edged sword, as you tend to keep Kalim reigned inโ€ฆbut he also goes crazy over you.
โฅ Jamil Viper
Does not like it. Not at first. It takes a lot to earn his trust, and growing up he didnโ€™t get much affection if any. So he doesnโ€™t like it, it's a foreign feeling and it's just too much for him. Though gradually, he finds himself thinking about your touch, the way your fingers felt as your hands brushed, or wondering how soft it would be to hug you. He curses himself for becoming so weak, but those curses quiet down the second your arms hold him so sweetly. No pda, none whatsoever. But behind closed doors he's more willing to give in to your tender touches (not that heโ€™d admit it).
Tumblr media
โฅ Vil Schoenheitย 
Vil is picky about affection. Thereโ€™s certain things that you can and canโ€™t do during certain times. With the media always on his back, you can never be too careful about pda. He doesnโ€™t want the world to hound you about your relationship with him, so he tends to keep things behind closed doors. He shows his affection in other ways to compensate, whether it be picking out your outfit or fixing your hair. He has become your personal stylist and you should be thankful. When it's just the two of you though, he becomes such a sap. Holds you so sweetly, trails of kisses, murmurs sweet nothings into your hair. Vil loves you and he wonโ€™t let you think otherwise.
โฅ Rook Hunt
When doesnโ€™t he show you affection? Flowery words trail after you as you walk to class. Kisses to the back of your hand trail up your arm. No one can outcompete Rook when it comes to admiring you. You could kill a man and heโ€™d be singing your praises while hiding all evidence for you. What's surprising is how he acts when it's just you two alone. Although he is sincere with his usual flowery words, it feels more intimate when you both are alone. When heโ€™s holding your close, staring at you so lovingly, whispering how much you mean to him? I get it Rook lovers, Iโ€™ve finally gotten it.
โฅ Epel Felmier
Nuh-uh. Affection? Thatโ€™s for losers! Donโ€™t ask about how loving his grandparents are. Blushes profusely at even the smallest act and then scolds you. Heโ€™s a manly man and manly men donโ€™t cuddle! Off topic but Iโ€™d love to go on a rant about toxic masculinity and how those stereotypes hurt men more and see how he reacts. Epel warms up to affection quickly, but only if he initiates in public. When it's just you two heโ€™s more chill about it. Resting your head on his shoulder, having you wrap your arms around his, placing a kiss on his foreheadโ€”donโ€™t tell anyone that last oneโ€ฆ
Tumblr media
โฅ Idia Shroud
Poor, poor Idia. He only knows affection from Ortho, and after Orthoโ€ฆonce he became a technomantic humanoid Idia couldnโ€™t hug him anymore. It reminded him that Ortho wasnโ€™tโ€ฆyeah so let's just say Idia is hella touch starved due to self isolation. So you have to slowly bring him out of his shell, revealing that old wound heโ€™s left to fester and tending to it so gently. He canโ€™t help but shiver every time you run your hands through his hair, or when you kiss his temple, or when your body heat seeps into him. Over time he comes to crave your affection, seeking you out but never outright stating what he wanted. Thankfully for him you always seemed to know what he needed.ย 
โฅ Ortho Shroud
This poor boy pt 2. After he was created he didnโ€™t really experience physical affection. With his bulky bodies and being made from metal, he wasnโ€™t comfortable to hug. Ortho never thought about it much, although he was curious what affection felt like. So when you hugged him without a second thought he almost cried (if he could). Soaks up your affection like a sponge and reciprocates tenfold. He now hugs you as a greeting and holds your hand when you both are going somewhere. He canโ€™t help it! Who knew affection was so nice! And since you're willing, heโ€™ll always come to you if he needs someone to lean on.
Tumblr media
โฅ Malleus Draconia
Malleus knows of affection, but being the future king of Briar Valley and extremely powerful he only knows affection through Lilia and his grandmother. Lilia was super loving, donโ€™t get me wrong, but Malleus could never shake that feeling of loneliness. The way people avoid him, how heโ€™s always out of reach. Yet youโ€ฆyou were willing to listen to him and accompany him. So when you even touched him, he wasnโ€™t sure what to do. He wasnโ€™t well versed in means of affection, and human affection seemed even more strange. You didnโ€™t just hold his hand, youโ€™d lean on him, you wouldnโ€™t just kiss his cheek, youโ€™d boop him afterwards. Yet he thrived with anything youโ€™d give him. Malleus is content with watching you eagerly, waiting for the next form of affection youโ€™d show him.
โฅ Lilia Vanrouge
Lilia isnโ€™t afraid to show his affection, and more often than not it leaves his subordinates (children) embarrassed. So when you came along, you had become his willing victim. He shows his affection in less conventional ways. His favorite is scaring you, popping out at random like he was trying to put you into cardiac arrest. But he makes up for it by kissing your nose after. Heโ€™ll also cook for youโ€ฆI pray for your sanity because he can be really sweet but it comes in underhanded ways. If you eat his food heโ€™ll be over the moonโ€ฆif you donโ€™t heโ€™ll pout. Itโ€™s up to you if you want to live or not.
โฅ Silver Vanrouge
Growing up under Liliaโ€™s wing did him some favors. Heโ€™s not against affection, he just never thought about it too much. He doesnโ€™t mind if you hold his hand or if you kiss his cheek. His favorite is when you both cuddle. Heโ€™s a sleepy guy, so naturally this is the most common form of affection you both share. Even the animals will join you two. When he isnโ€™t sleeping though, heโ€™ll give you kisses on the back of your hand, guide you around, heโ€™s your personal knight now. Although he does feel bad that he has to leave you a lot for his duty, heโ€™ll always try to make it up to you at the end of the day.
โฅ Sebek Zigvoltย 
Nope. No affection allowed. Your eardrums will be shattered if you try. Heโ€™s another one who has to warm up to it. His parents are super loving, and heโ€™s used to his mom always hugging himโ€ฆbut he stopped all that nonsense because he has to give his all to his Waka-sama. Sebek is so intense in his worship of Malleus he finds it indecent to even think of anything romantic/affectionate with you. But when you break him down, when you hug him so sweetly or kiss his cheek so softlyโ€ฆyeah heโ€™s a goner. Deep down he craves for your affection, he loves it to a point it scares him. He felt his heart crack when he denied you once, the guilt in your eyes leaving him with a sour taste in his mouth. He supposes heโ€™ll allow you to hug him, but heโ€™s still got a reputation to uphold.

crush panic
summary : how they act when they have a crush
characters : all dorms (-grim &ortho)
warnings : some may be ooc, crack?, fluff, not edited, completely self indulgent everything is intended as romantic
a/n : new theme how we feeling!! my favourite is loser as its the most fun to write. im thinking of making a second part on how they confess if this does well
Tumblr media
an absolute loser in love
he has absolutely fallen head over heels for you and now has no idea how to act normal around you anymore. the slightest bit of physical contact or praise will send him into shock, and later cause no sleep at night because he over thinks that one moment again and again. โ€œdoes that mean they like me too? Or are they just being friendly?โ€ย 
yeah there's no hope for him. he acts super awkward around you, stuttering, laughing randomly, no he isn't blushing it's just suddenly hot all of the sudden-in the middle of the coldest season-he always agonizes over why he can't just act cool in front of you. during classes, if you're in his you bet heโ€™ll just stare at you from afar, and if you're in his well he discreetly glances at you every now and then not knowing that you can clearly see him looking at you-though you don't seem to mind finding it cute.
and if you tell him that heโ€™ll go bright red and avert his gaze โ€œhaha.. uh thanks.. I think?โ€ cue screaming into a pillow later at night.
deuce, idia, azul, riddle, sebek + ur fav
stage fiveย complete and utter denial
he's in complete denial. there's no way that he likes you, he must be getting sick that's why his heart beats fast when you're near with his cheeks burning a bright red. he makes it his entire goal to try and lose feelings for you, so he creates a list of all your good and bad attributions-unsurprisingly all the negative ones turn out not so bad when he puts thought into it it ...what the hell is he thinking?ย 
it may take a while for him to accept his feelings, so you're gonna have to endure glares when passing or in class and possible snarky comments thrown at you. However, if he hears someone is mean to you, crush be damned he can only do that to you. He tries to act completely uninterested in you, a way to fool himself that he does not like you, but the second he hears any bit of gossip he's suddenly interested.ย 
he looks at you weirdly, flustered at your question โ€œuh... why am i suddenly interested in who you were with.. no reason.โ€
leona, ace, vil, ruggie + ur fav
doesn't realise he has a crush
oh spare this oblivious boy, he hasn't ever really liked someone before so he doesnโ€™t know that wanting to spend more time with you, fussing over your well-being, thinking of you and how much better it would be if you were here is not what platonic friends should be thinking-especially if those thoughts lead to how would your lips feel.
someone would have to straight up tell him that he has a crush on you or he would never figure it out for himself and go on with his life never confessing. when someone finally does tell him, heโ€™ll notice how different he really acts, catching himself waiting for your messages and dropping everything once you text back. you also get the added bonus of finally seeing him flustered! since he's in the stage of actually being involved in having a crush, every touch, smile, or praise is enough to make his face and ears turn red.
โ€œwait so you mean wanting to kiss them is not normal?โ€ he pauses and rethinks everything he thought about you.
silver, kalim, malleus, jack + ur fav
quick to show off to impress you
he doesn't believe he can win your heart with his personality so he works extra hard on stuff he knows he can do well-better than the average person-he believes if he impresses you by this he has a chance. surprisingly he acts rather normal with you, excluding the way he's more relaxed with your presence and the constant flush on his face.
he's rather quick to recognise his crush on you and he's even more quick to decide he needs to make himself an available suitor in your eyes. youโ€™ve gotten used to your name being called out across the halls from him, strutting over to you to show you what he made or did last night-he'll become flustered if you praise him shrugging it off with flimsy excuses until he gets back into what he originally wanted to share albeit with aย slight red face. what's even better is if he invites you out to come try it with him, enjoying the chance to spend time with you and show off in real time what he can do.
โ€œwhat do you think of this, isn't it impressive? you really think so.. haha..โ€
trey, cater, jamil, epel + ur fav
he goes straight to courting you
he's the first to notice his change in feelings for you from platonic to romantic instantly and wastes no time to try and court you. he starts greeting you daily, offering you gifts, takes you out with the excuse of needing help and you find yourself out at a restaurant eating expensive food and wonder how the hell did you end up here when he needed a book?ย 
you will never catch this boy being flustered instead you'll find yourself stuttering while turning a bright red. if you enact physical contact or compliment him he flashes you a mischievous smile and teases you for โ€˜finally falling for himโ€™.. no, that was not a joke. despite all the teasing heย does genuinely care about you and goes out of his way to buy or make stuff he'll think you'll like, your reaction to his displays of courting amuses him especially when you make such cute faces at him. courting is just a way for him to make his feelings known, after all you were his the moment he caught feelings.
โ€œhm.. how did we end up at a restaurant.. does it matter? now what did you choose for the meal?โ€
jade, rook, lilia
there's no crush. you're dating
floyd has never experienced the crush stage and he doesn't want to after all that's boring. why wait thinking about coincidental glances, and accidental contact when he knows he likes you and you like him! he's fast to let you know his feelings and won't take no for an answer why would you reject him if you like him.ย 
now that you think about it, you're not even sure floyd even asked you out. he just sort of grabbed your hand, said 'you're mine' and you both went to get food. so well done you're in a not relationship-relationship with a giant eel! floyd feels like he can never get bored being with you and is always by your side, or on since he's a fan of physical touch and will have some part of him touching you-an arm on your waist, legs over his, head tucked into your neck-the only time he's away from you is if jade or azul need him for the lounge and that's only for a few moments until you're also called by them to keep floyd in the lounge.
โ€œhuh, do i like you?โ€ floyd glances at you briefly before grumbling, โ€œwe literally made out this morning and you're asking if i like you shrimpy.โ€
floyd

Every universe
Summary: You ask the TWST boys if you're soulmates in every universe. This is their response.
Characters: All NRC (+ Che'nya, Neige) (Platonic Ortho, obvi)
A/N: guess who's learning to โœจdriveโœจ?
Riddle Rosehearts:
He glances up at you from his desk in confusion.Youโ€™re simply laying on his bed and scrolling on your phone while he sits at his desk doing homework. โ€œWhat?โ€ he simply asks. And you repeat the question for him. He thinks about it for a second, letting himself process the question. He flushes and turns back to his homework. He clears his throat and finally responds, โ€œYes.โ€ The amount of certainty in his voice could convince anyone that heโ€™s right. And in his mind he is. He couldnโ€™t imagine a world where he doesnโ€™t love you and where he doesnโ€™t get to express that.
Trey Clover:
Trey hums as he closes the oven, having just pulled out a freshly baked cake. He puts it down on the counter and grabs the frosting. He looks at you with a small happy smile and nods. โ€œI hope so.โ€ His words are sincere. He really does hope. He couldnโ€™t imagine a world where you werenโ€™t. He couldnโ€™t say for sure, but he could hope that every version of himself had you.
Cater Diamond:
โ€œOf course we are,โ€ he responds instantly. He didnโ€™t have to think about it. Or actually he has. Heโ€™s thought about it a lot. Heโ€™s seen this trend about asking your partner that question and has been wanting to try it on you. He would think you were doing that trend, but youโ€™re not holding your phone and itโ€™s not propped up anywhere. He thought about it when he first saw it, and came to the conclusion that you were. In what world would he not love you? The ideaโ€™s unthinkable.
Deuce Spade:
Deuce looks up at you and simply blinks. He takes a moment to think about it and smiles. โ€œYes,โ€ He says softly. He looks back down at the work heโ€™s doing. Or rather trying to do. He smiles at the idea. He thinks about different versions of you, and different versions of himself. And in each of them, he sees those two versions loving each other. He looks over at you again and smiles softly. He loves you. And he always will.
Ace Trappola:
โ€œNo,โ€ he jokingly responds. He has a shit-eating grin on his face as he looks at you. After a moment, he realizes youโ€™re serious. His smile drops and he takes a second to think. โ€œYeah,โ€ he says, โ€œYeah, we are.โ€ And when he sees you smile, it reinforces his answer. He couldnโ€™t imagine any version of himself not loving that smile. He scoots over to you and kisses you. Yeah, heโ€™s right.
Leona Kingscholar:
He grunts in annoyance when you ask the question. He was just on the verge of sleep before you spoke up. He processes your question for a second and mumbles something about you being stupid. When you give him a light slap on the arm, he chuckles. โ€œCourse we are,โ€ he says, โ€œYou think Iโ€™ll let anyone else have you?โ€ He then pulls you closer into his chest and nuzzles into your hair. โ€œNow let me sleep.โ€ The instant the words leave his mouth, he falls asleep. He doesnโ€™t want to give you a chance to ask another stupid question.
Ruggie Bucchi:
At first, your question doesnโ€™t register. He keeps his eyes on the shirt that heโ€™s sewing. He pauses in his movements and then continues. โ€œWhat do you think?โ€ he asks, turning the question back on you. Of course his answer is yes, but why would he answer so easily? When you demand he answers, he laughs and looks at you with a smirk. โ€œ50 thaumarks,โ€ he says.
Jack Howl:
โ€œYes,โ€ he says without hesitation. He looks up from his homework to you sitting across from him. โ€œMates are destined to be together in every universe,โ€ he explains, โ€œthatโ€™s what my mom told me.โ€ When you smile at him, his heart skips a beat and his tail starts wagging. Yeah, his momโ€™s right. Only you could pull this reaction from him. And only you will. In every universe.
Azul Ashengrotto:
Azul freezes at the question. His hand stills, leaving his pen in one spot on his contract. He blushes brightly once he fully registers that you just asked what he thought you asked. He stares down at the paper, but doesnโ€™t register anything on it. His mind is racing. โ€œYes,โ€ he finally says. And then he goes back to his contract. After all, youโ€™re his. In this and every other universe.
Jade Leech:
The moment the words leave your mouth, Jade smirks. He looks at you with a grin, all his teeth on full display. โ€œWhy do you ask?โ€ he questions. When you urge him to answer he simply chuckles. โ€œIโ€™d never let my prey escape,โ€ he simply says. Itโ€™s a concerning answer (he sees you as prey??) but itโ€™s also comforting in a Jade sort of way.
Floyd Leech:
โ€œOf course we are, shrimpy,โ€ he says with a smile. He wraps you in his arms and holds you close. He squeezes you without a care. โ€œWhy was that a question,โ€ he asks, suddenly serious. โ€œYou think the same, right shrimpy?โ€ Itโ€™s in your best interest to say yes.
Kalim Al-Asim:
โ€œYes,โ€ he responds instantly. He smiles at you and passes a piece of paper over to you when Trienโ€™s not looking. On it is a doodle of you and him holding hands. He smiles brightly at you, and makes a heart with his hands. And when you smile back at him, he canโ€™t help but scoot his chair closer and throw his arms around. And he doesnโ€™t regret it, even when Trien scolds him.
Jamil Viper:
He thinks about the question as he adds some more spice to the curry heโ€™s making for both of you. He brings the ladle to his mouth and tries it before adding some more spices. โ€œEvery universe,โ€ he questions as he shoots you a glance. When you nod, he lets out a contemplative hum. โ€œTry this,โ€ he offers the ladle to you and watches you take a sip and then takes a sip himself. โ€œIn most,โ€ he finally answers. He knows all is impossible, but he knows in most of them youโ€™re together. After all, thatโ€™s not impossible.
Vil Schoenheit:
โ€œThatโ€™s an interesting question,โ€ he says as he applies foundation. He glances at you in his mirror and softly smiles. โ€œYes, Potato. We are,โ€ he answers. When he sees you light up his face softens further. He was soft for you. In every universe, he would be soft for you.
Rook Hunt:
Rook lights up the moment those words fall from your lips. โ€œOf course we are, mon cheri,โ€ he says with a smile. He wraps his arms around you and leans his forehead on yours. โ€œYou think so too, donโ€™t you? That's the only reason you would ask,โ€ he closes his eyes in contentment. And then he leans in and kisses you. In every universe, you would always be his muse. He can just feel it.
Epel Felmier:
โ€œHuh,โ€ he looks up at you from his apple carving. โ€œWhereโ€™d that come from,โ€ he asks in confusion. When you shrug, he huffs. From your mind, he presumes. Such a dumb question. โ€œCourse we are,โ€ he says. He then adds a final touch to the apple and hands it to you. A heart.
Idia Shroud:
Idia freezes like a deer caught in the headlights. He didnโ€™t expect this. His mind starts racing, as the question repeats in his head. His hair turns pink and he starts sweating. No romance game prepared him for this! โ€œUh, umโ€ฆ What do you think,โ€ he asks. He needs your answer so that he can repeat it back to you. But when you insist he answers you, he lets out a deep breath. Quietly, he says, โ€œyes.โ€ He looks at you and he eases up when he sees you smile. Romance level has gone up, thank god.
Ortho Shroud: Friend
โ€œYes,โ€ he says, โ€œof course weโ€™re still friends in every universe.โ€ He smiles, or tries to. He then has a thought and giggles. โ€œThereโ€™s probably a universe where youโ€™re friends with my living self,โ€ he says. That thought leaves you two theorizing about different universes. And in all those universes, youโ€™re his friend.
Malleus Draconia:
Malleus looks up at you with a curious gaze. Every universe? He smiles, โ€œYes. Iโ€™ll make sure we are,โ€ he says simply. Youโ€™re not sure what that means, but itโ€™s sweet. And he means it from the bottom of his heart. Heโ€™ll make sure in every universe, every life, every dimension, that you two are together.
Lilia Vanrouge:
At first, Lilia doesnโ€™t respond. Heโ€™s in the middle of his game and heโ€™s about to win, give him a sec. When the game ends- he won- he finally thinks about the question. He chuckles and looks over at you, laying on his bed. โ€œOf course, my little bat,โ€ he says with a soft smile. He takes his headset off and stands up. โ€œWhy donโ€™t I prove it to you?โ€ He throws himself into your arms and starts kissing every inch of your face.
Silver Vanrouge:
Silver perks up at your question. He was just starting to nod off. The question was unexpected, but it kept him awake, so thatโ€™s good. He looks at you and thinks for a moment. โ€œYes,โ€ he says, โ€œMy love for you seeps into every universe and every version of myself. So yes, we are.โ€ He softly smiles at you and wraps his arms around you. He holds you for longer than normal. Oh. He fell asleep.
Sebek Zigvolt:
โ€œYES!โ€ he yells. Who do you think he is? Of course he would be with you in every universe. If he is going to serve his liege in every universe, heโ€™s going to be with you in every universe. Youโ€™re his human, after all. Heโ€™s going to take care of you in this and every other universe.
Cheโ€™nya:
He looks at you blankly for a moment before giving you a lopsided grin. โ€œWhoโ€™s to say,โ€ he responds with a shrug. He leans over, dropping his head on your shoulder. โ€œDoes it matter? Weโ€™ve got this universe.โ€ He wraps his tail around you and leans in to kiss your cheek.
Neige Leblanche:
โ€œYes,โ€ he says without missing a beat. He sweetly smiles at you and leans in to plant a soft kiss on your cheek. โ€œAfter all, a prince needs his knight,โ€ he jokes. But there is a small truth to that joke. He could definitely see you as his literal knight in shining armor in another universe.

I donโ€™t think we talk enough about Yuus who actually have lives back in their world, and are genuinely freaking out about being stuck at NRC. Just imagine them lore bombing the cast because no one ever asks about their homelife. So itโ€™s just random moments of yearning for home until evidently Crowley gets off his rocker and does his job.
โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”
*having tea at heartslabyul before everyone goes on break*
Yuu: โ€œI miss my mom. This is holiday season back where Iโ€™m fromโ€ฆman, this sucksโ€ *sulks and eats tart*
Deuce: You have parents?
Cater: You miss your family???
Riddle: Must be nice.
โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”
Yuu: *sigh*
Grim: โ€ฆ.
Yuu: *siiiiigh*
Grim: โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ.
Yuu: *SIIIIIIIIGH*
Grim: MRAH ALRIGHT ALREADY. WHAT DO YA WANT?
Yuu: I miss my husband. I wonder what heโ€™s doing right now. All I have of him here is my wedding bandโ€ฆ.I just want to see him.
*proceeds to admire a wedding band they had hidden under their uniform gloves*
Ace+Deuce: YOUโ€™RE MARRIED???? HOW OLD ARE YOU???
Grim: Aye lets pawn that for dorm funds
โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”
*at monstro lounge. jadeโ€™a trying to shove mushrooms down floydโ€™s gullet. The latter is fighting for his life*

Yuu: nah. You donโ€™t get between siblings. Thatโ€™s their beef. GET EM JADE, MAKE EM EAT HIS WEIGHT!
Azul: I take it you have siblings? - urk. Thank the sea witch I am an only child.
Yuu: *cheers when jade claims victory - at the expense of a now broken table* Be grateful itโ€™s just the two. I have three and we once made a game out of sledding on concrete. News flash - the er visit cost quadruple that table
Azul: *proceeds to make medical investment plans*

Yuu: *crying*
Leona: The hellโ€™s wrong with them now? *eyes ruggie*
Ruggie: *puts hands up* I didnโ€™ do anything! I just swiped one of their cookies! I swear!
Yuu: *crying harder* Itโ€™s an oatmeal creme pie dammit! Yโ€™all donโ€™t know little debbie and it shows!
Leona: โ€ฆ.do i want to know?
Ruggie: *hands back the half eaten creme pie. Lowkey freaking out because Leona looks ready to whack him upside with a spelldrive disc* Here! Yโ€™see? Thereโ€™s still someโ€ฆcโ€™mon prefect. Ya can stop crying now. Iโ€™ll get Trey to make ya another. Just take a breath.
Yuu: *sobs while eating. Doesnโ€™t know whether to be upset because the creme pie is gone, or because treyโ€™s tastes better than little debbie. So itโ€™s still not the same* I hate you all.

โ˜†โ”ŠTHE POCKY GAME
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
SUMMARY: playing the pocky game with your crush!
CHARACTERS: all dorms (-ortho)
GENRE: fluff
WARNINGS: cursing, suggestive? not really tho
NOTES: happy pocky day!! I think this game is actually really cute teehee. whatโ€™s ur guys favorite pocky? (mines the chocolate or matcha one ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™)
reader is g/n, reader is yuu
Tumblr media
GOES IN FLUSTERED, COMES OUT CONFIDENT
you caught him so off guard. he was just minding his own business, doing his thing, then suddenly you hit him with a game like this? really are you trying to kill him, prefect? does this count as a confession?? he feels hot, is his face red? he didnโ€™t even know pocky day existed!
despite his internal panicking, how could he possibly say no to you? placing the biscuit between his lips, letting you have the chocolate side (or whatever flavor u want) like the gentleman he is. slowly, bite by bite his face inches closer to yours. his heart is killing him, but he doesnโ€™t dare to lose. finally reaching to the midsection, his lips find yours, sharing a small sweet kiss before pulling away.
that was much more fun than he thought itโ€™d be. how about another round?
riddle, trey, jack, kalim, silver, malleus
GOES IN CONFIDENT, COMES OUT A LOSER
he was so smug when you asked. say less prefect! heโ€™ll play the game with you since youโ€™re so desperate!
then suddenly he gets second thoughts once you both begin to bite down on the biscuit. little by little, the proximity between you two began to close, his heartbeat racing at the speed of light. thump thump thump. he could barely control his breathing and his palms were beginning to grow sweaty. by the time youโ€™ve expected a kiss, he pulled away, feeling embarrassed and overwhelmed.
his cheeks were burning hot and there was a discerning look on his face that screamed flustered. with all the talk he had before, maybe this reaction was better than the anticipated kiss. but whereโ€™s the fun in that? you pull out another pocky stick, putting it between your lips for a second time with a devilish grin. youโ€™re killing him, prefect.
ace, cater, ruggie, epel, sebek
A LOSER
had to think long and hard about playing. not cause he didnโ€™t want to, but because he knows heโ€™s going to humiliate himself in front of you.
so how did he find himself standing in front of you, with a pocky in his mouth, inching closer and closer to your face after each passing second? this. is. bad. heโ€™s actually going to fail and look like a godforsaken fool. is his face red? itโ€™s red isnโ€™t it? he shouldโ€™ve known better. not even halfway, he backs up, covering the lower half of his face with his hand.
please forgive him, but he might just DIE and EXPLODE if he hadnโ€™t done what he just did. itโ€™s not just about his safety, itโ€™s about yours too. please donโ€™t tease him heโ€™s already so embarrassed for being a wimp.
heโ€™s already weak in the knees just being beside you, kissing you would be a whole nother story.
deuce, azul, idia
A FUCKING TEASE
another smug one. except this one has plans to win and actually stick to it. rather than just standing in front of you, he wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you in closer. you hesitate for a moment, taken aback by his bold actions.
the game grew intense, his eyes staring daggers into your own. you๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝre not even sure if he was blinking (he wasnโ€™t). he took in your reaction, engraved it in the back of his mind, and plans to replay these moments like they were a cinematic masterpiece. just when you were about to pull away, his lips meet yours, sharing a breathtaking kiss.
your face was warm and wore an expression of shock. he loved it. ah, ah, ah, not so fast prefect. technically that was a tie! whatโ€™s a game without a winner? looks like another round is in order..
jade, jamil, rook, lilia
SOMEHOW A WORSE TEASE
pocky game? why would we want to do that when he could just do this?
cupping your cheek, he leans over and places a chaste kiss on your lips. it was a gentle kiss, contrasting with the way his hands traveled down to your waist, holding my you firmly in place. his eyes bored into you, enjoying your shock. he was smug. so smug. you could feel him smiling against your lips, leaning in closer and closer til you finally had the opportunity to push him away.
he only smirked in return, letting you go, grabbing a pocky and walking away as if nothing happened.
punch him. you wanted to punch him.

idia has a habit of grabbing onto your hand when he gets nervous. he'll instinctually reach for it when there's a large group of people he really doesn't want to get caught up in, or when you finally convince him that he should be attending more classes in person; he'll sit next to you and trace shapes and words into the back of your hand, hidden by the desks.
riddle leaves small notes in your textbooks, small pick-me-ups to 'help' you keep studying, though he knows you're okay without him. he leaves the small notes between pages, you notice there's usually two per chapter. since he knows you don't need the help, he turns to leaving small sentences of affirmation or endearment. his face turns bright red if you bring it up to him, he denies it all but he's the only one you usually study with. (therefore, the only one with access to your unattended textbooks..)
leona unintentionally wraps his tail around one of your limbs, whether it's around your arms or tickling the skin of your leg, it's there. even if he's not sleeping it'll snake it's way around you, he claims his tail has a mind of its own- that he doesn't do it on purpose, but you know he does and that it lets him relax, knowing you're there.
floyd's bottom lip juts out when you go to leave the lounge or his room, he pouts like a child that's been denied a toy at the store. he really enjoys your company, how you listen to him with no complaints, he could simply steal you away forever. his shrimpy, no one else's.
cater has a whole lot of candid photos of you, he loooves the ones where you're gazing gently at the roses, or helping someone out. he can't get over the softness in your eyes, or the way your smile is so genuine, though it's never forced when you're with him, it's just a different kind of genuine. no matter, he loves it (and you) regardless.
azul will take time when there's a surplus amount of change in the lounge and sort through it- claiming he's just counting it- looking for coins with interesting designs on them. he'll show you, hoping you share the same interest in the coins that he does. if you do, and possibly think it's cooler than he does, he'll slip it off to the side, eventually placing it into your palm, and ushering you out, back to your dorm for the night.

Halloo, can I request hcs of characters's habits or actions they unconsciously do or show that they care for the reader?? Can be platonic or romantic!. Any character(s) is fine! I apologize if you already did a request similar to this one ๐Ÿ˜…
hallo!!! of course, my pleasure! this is a cute prompt
*เฉˆโœฉโ€งโ‚Šหš unconscious things they do for you
type of post: headcanons characters: riddle, cater, leona, ruggie, rook, vil, malleus additional info: romantic or platonic, reader is gender neutral, reader is yuu
Tumblr media
Riddle lets you get away with things that others can't. is it unfair? oh, yes, completely. but you've already done so much for him and everyone else at NRC, you poor thing, you deserve a break. he doesn't think much of it when you're late or wearing the wrong socks for an unbirthday party
*เฉˆโœฉโ€งโ‚Šหš
Cater wants to spend more time alone with you. he's usually not one for such closeness, but he finds himself craving your attention more and more, and having time together, cuddling or gossiping or even just being in the same room, is like heaven
*เฉˆโœฉโ€งโ‚Šหš
Leona starts napping in places he knows you'll find him. that one sunny spot in Savanaclaw, the corner of the botanical gardens where your alchemy class meets, your favorite courtyard... he doesn't mind being bothered when you're the one bothering him <3
*เฉˆโœฉโ€งโ‚Šหš
Ruggie always saves you some of his food. he'll subconsciously put aside piece of chocolate or some of his dandelion stash for you, whatever he has. guys like you need to stick together to survive, after all :)
*เฉˆโœฉโ€งโ‚Šหš
Rook always has a word of encouragement, a poem, a snack and a hug to give you when you're not feeling well. he can tell when you need him, and he'll be there, smothering you in love, before you even have to ask
*เฉˆโœฉโ€งโ‚Šหš
Vil asks for your opinion before making decisions. what do you think about this color on him? how does this line sound? what about this photoshoot, which set of pictures do you prefer? he cares about what you think more than he'd ever admit
*เฉˆโœฉโ€งโ‚Šหš
Malleus waits for you, he always have and he always will. he's the first to notice when you're not where you should be (close to him), and the first to take your hand and make you feel wanted when you've been excluded
