Jamimayu Genie AU

(I’ll likely come back to this idea and make doodles in the future but writing it down now so I remember…)

AU where Jamil’s the genie in a lamp that Mayu discovers, but she’s frustratingly unable to decide on any wishes on the spot so she simply asks him to keep her company until she can decide. (He’s 🙄 about this because he just wants to get it over with so he can return to the comforting solitude of his lamp, but he doesn’t let it show)

She ends up taking him on many random trips to different places together and he goes from being super annoyed that she’s wasting his time ➡️ “Ok this isn’t bad.” He got the chance to see so many sights that he couldn’t have on his own, being trapped in a lamp that was collecting dust inside some forgotten vault. The original plan was to manipulate her into wasting her wishes but… maybe that can wait.

Until the day comes where Mayu finally settles on something for her first wish, and he feels his heart drop because if there’s one, then there’ll be a second and a third, and then what? Is he never going to see her again after the inevitable? (She wonders why he doesn’t seem that happy about her finally making a wish.)

Aaand the (cliche) twist is that she still doesn’t really want anything, but she enjoyed her time with him so much that she wants to repay him with the chance to be free and travel on his own. It's not fair that he's stuck going only wherever she chooses to! She’s sneakily spending her wishes on him to set up her third and final wish for his freedom, so it goes something like:

Mayu: For my first wish I’d like a large sum of money, enough for an individual to live comfortably for several decades ☝️ Jamil: …Uncharacteristically materialistic of you, but I suppose it can be done.  Mayu: Okay! And for my second wish I need some very talented and shady connections that can produce me any documentation I need with 100% legitimacy that no official will ever suspect 🙂 and maybe also be capable of altering government records (This is the part where she makes friends with Azul/Octavinelle) Jamil:  Jamil: What the actual hell are you planning.

When she finally makes that third wish for his freedom, she just hands over the bank details and his definitely-not-fake ID and documents (all under his new name that he chose during a random “hypothetical” conversation they had at one point about what he’d like his name to be if he could have one) and tells him the truth, and that he should be all set up and ready to go for a while! And he’s so baffled, but once he gets over the initial shock he sighs and awkwardly tells her that he’d… still like to stay by her side 😌
