Don’t Open It (8 of Spades) 09/04/2023

“Don’t open it” A quick slap to the wrist punctuated the command.

“Why not?” the reasonable rebuttal was met with a judgmental glare.

“We have no idea what’s in there!”

“Yeah, that’s why I’m opening it. Find out if the cat’s alive or dead, y’know?”

“That’s not how that…” their complaint was interrupted by the need to slap a wrist once again.

“Ow, can you stop doing that?”

“Stop trying to open the box!”

“But what if it’s something cool in there?”

“Then it should stay in there! Whoever sealed the box up obviously didn’t want it getting out again.”

Hello! 

I've been working on a fic for a while now and have finished Book 1 and finally started the Wish upon a Star event arc! This fic is a combination of events and the main storyline with lots of additional scenes and headcanons added in to make the whole world feel more lived in. I primarily focus on scenes that allow for plenty of character interactions and world building! This is gonna be a longer fic that explores the world of Twst quite a bit along with expanding on the relationships Yuu (MC) forms with our favorite band of trouble making students at NRC! It's got a nice mix of mildly spooky undertones and lot of cute moments or so I've been told!

Snippet from Chapter 14:

“Big brother! I brought a friend to visit!” Ortho buzzed, tapping on the guy’s shoulder. The movement on the screen paused and the guy shifted down his headphones.

“Ortho what’s—ehh!?” The guy jumped in his chair when Yuu entered his field of view, leaning away from her into his chair. He was wearing a white lab coat over a striped blue shirt, the black gloves Crewel made them wear in potionology covering his hands.

Yuu looked at his desk but didn’t see anything related to alchemy or potions there. Why was he wearing that then?

“I told you not to wear this,” Ortho sighed, one hand on his hip as he pointed to the lab coat. His big brother, Idia, wasn’t paying him any attention, eyes still wide and glued to her.

“Ortho,” he squeaked, “why’s there a person in my room!?”

“Hello, I’m Yuu!” she said, waving shyly since she didn’t know what else to do.

“ Ortho —”

“This is my new friend I was telling you about, Yuu is helping with the Starsending too.” Ortho floated back to stand next to her and Yuu watched as no less than a dozen emotions crossed Idia’s face as he looked between them. Finally, it settled on what could only be described as utterly panicked.

“H- HUH?!?! ”

"Really? That's it?" Ace scoffs.

"So, they haven't been hugged in a while. Okay? Neither has Deuce,"

Deuce glares. It's almost menacing. "That's not true, and you know it! I get lots of hugs every time I visit home!"

"I do, too. But that's just the thing, though, ain't it?" Epel says. "They don't have no home to get hugs from."

The huddle of first years goes quiet. Some days, you become such a part of their world, they forget you're really not from it.

"...Okay, point taken," Ace sighs. "But they have Grim! And he only stinks like, half the time!"

"If memory serves, Grim usually sleeps on the floor..." Epel says. "Poor prefect, all lonely. Now even their sleep is suffering 'cause of it!"

Jack rubs the back of his neck. "It must be tough, not having anything to look forward to,"

Another melancholy silence. Finally, Ace stands, hands on his hips.

"Well, let's do something about it, then. There are tons of boys at this school- one of them should be willing to help,"

It's eight in the morning after another disappointing attempt at rest, and now you can't even sleep in. Damn visitors.

You throw open the front door.

"What? What could you possibly- wh- Leona?"

The housewarden smirks. He looks a little too proud of himself for this early in the morning...

"A little wolfie told me you weren't sleeping well. Lucky for you, that's my specialty. Now, are you gonna let me in, or what?"

He doesn't wait for an answer, letting himself in and making himself comfortable on the couch in the foyer.

He pats the spot next to him.

"Listen..." you say. "I don't know what you heard, but I'm fine."

"Don't be proud. I don't pity you, I just... owe you. Now get your butt over here, yeah?"

Leona isn't so scary when he's asleep. He's more like... the world's largest pillow. Of course, you're at risk of being smothered until you crawl into a better position, but once you're on top, he's surprisingly warm and comfortable.

You can tell you're being watched before you hear anything.

And you think you might just know wh-

"Shrimpyyy!"

For two boys so tall, the tweels are awfully quiet. Especially when it comes to "surprising" you in random places. This time: the hall.

Floyd pulls you into a bone-crushing hug while Jade watches from behind, smiling subtly.

When he finally lets you down, you're dizzy. (Though, at this point, you'll take whatever physical touch you can get).

"Shrimpyyy, why didn't you tell us you were lonely? We had to squeeze it outta Spade," Floyd pouts.

"His face makes fascinating expressions when he's afraid," Jade says, merrily.

Before you can answer, Floyd's already got you under his arm (seriously? Where do they find the strength?) and is heading straight towards the hall of mirrors.

You already know there's no getting out of this one...

Floyd is, unsurprisingly, all over, from leaning his whole body weight against you to lying across your lap, to biting your shoulder (in his sleep...?) Oh, and he drools, too.

Jade sits on your other side, one hand holding yours, the other leafing through an almanac from twenty years ago.

You're almost hesitant to admit just how nice it really is.

"And nothing else has worked?" Vil says, throwing open the door to your bedroom with no regard for a "hello" or, "how are you?"

You blink. "...Hello to you, too. May I ask what you're talking about?"

He storms inside, standing over you with his hands on his hips.

"Just that I overheard Epel Felmier asking my vice housewarden if he would be willing to satisfy your need for physical affection. You've been struggling? With sleep? And you didn't think to come to me, first?"

He almost sounds... offended that you didn't.

"...Well... I wasn't making a big deal about it,"

"So, no teas, no vitamins, no pills- nothing has helped?"

You shake your head. He sighs.

"Perhaps it is purely psychological... very well. Get up. I hope you don't toss and turn much, I'm a light sleeper,"

Vil is completely still when he sleeps. No tossing, no turning, no drooling, no snoring. He also insists on sleeping on his back, you, clinging to his side, and a single arm around you. Just as elegant as when he's awake. He'd be a true sleeping beauty if not for the mumbles of nonsense that come from him every few minutes. You swear you can make out your own name, once or twice or three times...

He is warm nonetheless, and his mumbles and idle stroking of his fingers on your waist is enough to satisfy you for a night of good sleep.
