#farena kingscholar angst

[mellowyellow236]

TWST Boys General HC’s!

Just some HCs for the TWST boys. No real theme to them or anything, and it’s mostly self-indulgent. Some characters will have much more than others, but I made sure everyone has at least one (You can clearly see what my favorite dorm and characters are lol-). Mostly fluff, but I’ll state before the headcanon if it’s angst, or if there’s a trigger warning, in red. Requests are open if anyone wants :) All writing under the cut!

Heartslabyul:  

Riddle Rosehearts - 

Gets very tense about things being dirty because he grew up in a really sterile environment with his mom. Sometimes, he gets worked up over something and cleans to calm down, it’s probably one of his healthier behaviors even if he has to work on not getting tense when it isn’t perfect. 

His favorite sweets are obviously strawberry tarts, but in second place is red velvet cake or cupcakes. He likes the color and thinks it tastes like chocolate. 

He likes trying all of the sweets Trey makes, and sometimes does taste tests like he’s judging them in a bake show. He lines them up, tries each of them, and thinks about what he likes and dislikes about each. 

Also, he got a hedgehog plushie from Trey, and since his overblot, he has slept with it every night as a form of comfort. 

Angst, Trigger Warning for EDs - Yeah, this one is pretty self-explanatory. Considering his devil of an almond mom and how thin he looks, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had one. 

Trey Clover - 

He’s a huge stress baker. He panics about the Prefect and Aduece duo being in trouble and suddenly the fridge is full of various baked goods. 

All of the Heartslabyul first years call him dad, but only a few to his face. Those few are Ace and Deuce, who started it. 

Trey loves trying out new recipes, and he wants to publish his own recipe book one day. 

Cater Diamond - 

Cater loves spicy food, which is canon, but my headcanon is that he makes his own spice blends to use on his food. 

Cater and Trey used to have weekly cooking/baking nights when they were roommates. Cater would cook something, and then Trey would bake something. They’d eat together and watch a movie in their dorm room. 

Angst - I subscribe to the theory that Cater was the housewarden before Riddle. Headcanon that now he thinks that Riddle’s overblot was his fault. Cater wasn’t able to help out his underclassmen when this started, since he was too weak to be able to win, and after he lost Riddle spiraled even harder down the road of a tyrant.

Ace Trapolla - 

Ace genuinely loves the hedgehogs but hates taking care of them because he can’t say no to giving them treats, and then Riddle gets mad. He’s gotten much better at hiding it when he does, though. (Riddle’s just gotten better at not getting mad about) 

He loves reading those really bad romance novels where you have to pause every few pages to figure out what just happened and why. He has a secret account he used to write fanfiction on but stopped after his brother found out and teased him over it. 

Deuce Spade - 

He calls his mom every day at the same time. He does not let anything stop him and Ace likes to stand next to him and make fake moaning sounds to annoy him. 

Angst, trigger warning for recovering addiction - Deuce used to be a delinquent, and so he did some bad stuff. He’s currently recovering from some kind of addiction, although he’s doing much better now. He has weekly meetings with Riddle about it, who uses the knowledge his mother made him learn about it to help him. They bond over not wanting to disappoint their mothers and how they want to get good grades to make them proud, even if it’s healthy for Duece but unhealthy for Riddle. 

Savanaclaw: 

Leona Kingscholar - 

His favorite place to nap is the botanical gardens because it’s warm and sunny, like a cat. 

Back when they were kids, Falena/Farena(Eng. Vs Jap. name) used to braid his hair. They used to put in little beads and things for fun. 

Agnst - When they were kids they were super close, but then Farena and Leona grew apart because Leona didn’t want to ‘hold his brother back’ after getting to know what everyone thought of him. Farena still calls him every week to try and talk, even back when Checka was a baby/toddler. Leona would never admit it but he listens to every voicemail that gets sent. 

Ruggie Bucchi - 

His favorite kind of donuts are the lemon-flavored ones. He likes that they're tangy and not as blindingly sweet. In second place is blueberry, and third is jelly-filled. 

Ruggie had been pushed to babysit Checka for Leona, and they went to a fast food place together. Ruggie taught Checka how to dine and dash. (And then came back with Leona who paid for their meals)

Jack Howl - 

He does a morning run every day and then has a big breakfast. He sees it as the most important meal of the day and never skips it, no matter what. He started doing it with the Prefect so that way he could make sure they were eating well/enough, and now all the first years meet up for breakfast on the weekends. Grim+Prefect bring tuna, Epel brings apple juice or pie, the ADuece Duo brings whatever Trey has left over, Sebek brings some fae dish made with normal ingredients so they can try it, Ortho brings various ingredients and Jack cooks whatever Ortho brings. 

Octavinelle: 

Azul Ashengrotto - 

Angst, Trigger Warning for EDs - Azul has really bad eating disorder tendencies. Like, ‘Well, I had a singular chocolate so now I can’t eat dinner’ bad. He’s working on stopping it, but right now he can’t do much about it. However, the one thing that often works is Jade’s mushroom dishes. Jade started looking for them and told Azul that they were healthy, so now they’re his safe food. Floyd wishes it was anything else at this point, he's so sick of mushrooms, but he'll let Jade cook them for Azul even if Floyd doesn't touch them. 

Jade Leech - 

Jade doesn’t have a favorite mushroom because he feels like if he picks one that makes the others less special. He had one for like a week when he first came to NRC, but felt so guilty he stopped liking it more than the others. (It was Amanita phalloides/the death cap mushroom)

Floyd Leech - 

Floyd thinks really hard about what nicknames to give people. He tries to get something that matches them, and who they are based on what he knows (Ex; Ace is often ‘crabby’, Kalim has a ‘fluffy’ personality like a sea otter, etc.) The exceptions are the Prefect and Riddle, who he just saw and went “Yeah. Shrimpy and Goldfishie. Shrimp posture and red hair. That’s what they are.” He doesn’t give nicknames to Azul and Jade because he believes that they’re both so interesting they could never be categorized as anything but their name. 

Scarabia: 

Kalim Al-Asim - 

Kalim loves jewelry and wearing it. He often gives it as gifts to Jamil, and it’s why he has so many golden accessories all over. Kalim proves the gold, but Jamil is often the one who picks out the design. 

Since Jamil’s overblot, Kalim’s started learning how to do stuff on his own. So far, he can (mostly) clean a window and (kind of) cook! Specifically, he’s learned how to cook pasta and add seasonings to soup. Not the best, but he’s trying. 

Jamil Viper - 

Jamil has so many snake things because of his last name and he hates it just because he's so sick of them at this point. He often trades gifts with Najma, so he ends up with a bunch of star-themed things as well. On his bedframe back home, he’s got little glowing star stickers. 

Pomefiore: 

Vil Schoenheit - 

He used to buy up a bunch of these Neige necklaces that were super breakable, and whenever he got mad, he would throw them at the wall until he calmed down. Then he cleans up and thinks about what happened and how he feels. Although, it’s a surprisingly healthy way of getting his anger out, especially considering the more violent nature of throwing the necklaces.

Rook Hunt - 

Rook has a ‘secret’ fanfiction account that he uses to write fanfics of Vil and Neige, sometimes together as friends and sometimes. Everything is oddly on point and both fandoms hotly debate what it means when he has a certain character bring up an event he never expanded upon and they never mentioned. His fics even have their fics written about them, including his “OCs” who are actually just his other classmates who aren’t as well known. 

Epel Felmeir - 

Epel secretly loves to bake but never did it pre-NRC because it wasn’t “manly enough” of a hobby. Now that Vil’s worried about excess sugar causing breakouts and stuff, though, he does it much more often out of spite. (Ironically, Vil thinks it’s great because Epel’s expressing himself naturally and not trying to conform to being manly or not)

Ignihyde: 

Idia Shroud - 

He likes to play the TWST version of the Sims and Stardew Valley and gets really into modding them. He likes to make characters of all of his favorite people and then talk to them. They’re hyper-realistic to how they act and look too, to the point where it’s either really creepy or romantic depending on how you look at it. 

Ortho Shroud - 

Angst - Ortho likes to listen to music and look at art because they’re the only things that he can’t automatically compute. He can do a math problem in seconds, but he’ll never be able to have the human ability to connect to art on an emotional level, so he consumes as much as he can in hopes of finding a way to experience it. 

Diasonia: 

Malleus Dracona - 

He has a dragon horde, but instead of gold, which he already has a tone of and doesn’t care for, it’s full of grotesques, pictures of gargoyles, and various gifts from his friends and father. He tried to go to sleep on it back when he was little, but nearly crushed some stuff, so Lilia decided to knit him a big blanket to use instead. Later on, Silver and Sebek also pitched in, then the Prefect, and so now Malleus has a horde and a pile of snuggly things to sleep on. 

Lilia Vanrouge - 

He calls the prefect ‘beastie’, which I am unsure of if this is canon or not. It could just be a very popular headcanon I’ve seen. 

I think it’s canon but not explicitly stated so I’ll state it as a headcanon; Lilia was in a polyamorous relationship with both Raverne and Meleanor. I ship it very hard and I need to say it. 

Silver “Vanrouge” - 

My main headcanon is that he listed Lilia as his father on all school documents. Not legal guardian, but father. He did tell Lilia, but Malleus saw and did the same thing afterward. 

Sebek Zigvolt - 

Sebek has a diary that he often writes in, and by often I mean almost every night. Surprisingly, most of it isn’t about Malleus, but rather his everyday life and school. He talks about his friends, and how classes are going, and even occasionally praises his various classmates for small things. It might seem out of character, but it’s just a place for him to vent the feelings that he has that he doesn’t want to talk about to others. 

Ramshackle:

Grim - 

Grim loves tuna, which is canon, but it’s not his actual favorite fish in terms of taste. It’s just that tuna was the only thing that the Prefect ever got for him ever since he first requested it because he was in the mood. The fact that they cared so much to get him his “favorite” after he requested it turned tuna into his favorite. 

RSA+NBC: 

Che’nya - 

Che’nya always makes sure to take really good care of his teeth and is very proud of his smile. He thinks it makes him look adorable, and it does. 

Neige Leblanche - 

Neige loves sewing and knitting, he thinks that it’s so much fun to make cute things. He’s worn them out, and often posts about them online. He doesn’t have enough free time to make his own patterns, but he hopes to be able to get good enough to do so one day. 

Neige likes acting, but he loves singing and dancing. He doesn’t get to do it as often because he mostly acts, but it’s his favorite thing to do. SDC was so much fun for him, he really wanted to get to perform and meet all of the performers from different schools. 

Because Snow White’s voice is so high-pitched, I HC him as a tenor by nature, although he taught himself to sing much higher notes, maybe even those of a normal soprano. (A tenor is the higher, often male voice in most choirs and a soprano is the higher, often female voice- It’s a bad explanation but it basically means he’s got a higher vocal range/voice than some of the other characters when he sings.)

Bittersweet - Neige is just as much of a cinnamon roll offline as he is online. He donates a bunch to charity, and considering his backstory, I think that most of it goes to orphaned or helpless children like him, who don’t have an adult around to take care of them. He hopes to make sure that no children have to go into the workforce young like he did to support the dwarves and himself, even if he knows that it’s not realistic. 

Angst - Neige never wanted to go into acting but had to because he was good at it and he couldn’t find any other well-paying jobs for children, so he could support himself and his seven friends. He loves his job, yes, but sometimes he wishes that he could’ve been a normal teen doing his school’s plays or community theater rather than worrying about having to stay on top of trends and stuff. 

Rollo Flamme - 

Already mentioned this in a previous post, but Rollo is an all-or-nothing kind of guy when it comes to crushes, but it’s a bit more than that. In almost everything, he puts either all of his time and energy into it or he just doesn’t care. Friendships, schoolwork, relationships, even little things like chores, he does it all or he doesn’t do it. 

Other Event/Side Characters: 

Checka Kingscholar - 

Checka loves visiting his uncle, so much so that he spends at least a weekend at NRC a month. It’s his favorite part of the month, and he loves that Leona will give him treats and find some time to play with him. (Leona clears his entire schedule for the weekends Checka comes out even though he’d never admit it) 

Najma Viper - 

I think Kalim has a canonic cousin based on Jasmine, so I HC Najma as being her handmaiden. Kind of like Dalia to Jasmine in the live-action Aladin. 

[kingconia]

HELLO. I really liked ur writing about twst housewardnes and them having big sis! And Vil's part was so heartbreaking... So maybe u can do another one but how they act if they have lil sis???

A/N: oh, glad you like it. sure, why not.

TWISTED WONDERLAND BOYS AND HOW THEY WOULD ACT IF YOU WERE THEIR LITTLE SISTER

cw: light angst

Malleus Draconia. 💚

— Once again, I am not sure if a few years make that much difference for fae people, so, it is not going to be that different;

— But Malleus really enjoys calling you ”little sister”;

— And with a great power comes a great responsibility! He thinks insecure all the time, thinking that he is not a good big brother and there is not much he could teach you;

— Since both of you ignored in the school, I think he also could blame it on himself in some parts;

— You will need to reassure him A LOT;

— But, overall, it stays the same: you are his best company as he is yours. No one and nothing could change that.

Riddle Rosehearts. ❤️

— He loves you very much, but the only child treatment he had ever seen, was the way his mother treated him, and he considers it to be a love;

— He tries to keep you very restricted, with all those rules and constant studies;

— So, when you start breaking his rules and running away with other kids, he gets devastated. Was it how kids always behaved? Why he was never like this? What is the meaning of it?;

— Honestly, he is over-controlling, and quite restless, when it comes to you, but only because he can't understand what to do with you;

— If or when you break down in front of him, telling how much he reminds of mother, and how much pressure he puts on you... He will overblot, most likely.

Kalim Al-Asim. 🧡

— He always wanted a sibling, so he was so excited about you! Probably, spoke with you a lot, when his mom was still pregnant, lmao;

— Literally the best big brother ever! Spent all his time with you, taught you everything he could and know. You are his little princess, and your smile is everything to him;

— Loves bragging about you so much! Always shows your photos to others, listing all your achievements and positive qualities;

— He has this habit to share all his meals together with you, so it is really rare for two of you eat separately;

— I feel like there are no arguments between you as both of you too soft to eachother.

Idia Shroud. 💙

— He is really, really awkward with you;

— He takes care of you in a very subtle way, when you can't notice that. But all other time, he runs away from a direct contact;

— It will be easier for him to connect with you as you grown-up, though! As soon as you are teenager, Idia speaks easier with you, and constantly tries to play with you;

— If you share his interests, then congratulations! You are inseparable now!

— If not, though, he finds hard time to interact with you, but he really tries to watch out for you.

Leona Kingscholar. 💛

— It was a relief for him that he is not the youngest anymore, lol;

— I think, he was planning to ignore your existence, mostly, but Farena dumped you on him, and since he was still a child, he felt easier about taking care of you. He was alone all the time, so your company was a nice thing;

— Probably, spoke with you seriously and seemed to understand you, when you blabbed in gibberish, lmao;

— He feels bad for you constantly, because considering how dazzling and loved Farena is, and how scandalous his own reputation is, people tend to forget that Kingscholar brothers have a sibling;

— So he tries to make it up in his own way... By spoiling you all the time. He buys you everything you want, and if you make a very sad face, he will do everything you ask, too;

— As all Savannaclaw men he finds women more powerful, naturally. So he values you very much, and if anyone tries to belittle you, they will be dead.

Vil Schoenheit. 💜

— He actually... Doesn't have time for you?;

— He is busy all the time, always in his own world, so you are quite by yourself most of the time. Sometimes, you celebrate your birthday all alone, and he only sends some gifts or postcards;

— You are his shadow, his not that famous little sister, and everyone wants your company just because you are his sibling;

— Actually, I think Rook pays you more attention than he is, and when Vil realises it by speaking with him, as he mentions your favourite hobbies, he feels... Envious and sad;

— His brother instinct kicks in, and he tries to make it up for you, by taking you everywhere, and teaching you everything he can.

Azul Ashengrotto. 🩵

— Okay, hear me out, but he is the type of big brother that embarrass you in front of others all the time;

— ”When she was younger she got actually sucked in the sewerage!“

— “Shut up, it is literally not true!”

— But I feel like he will be a very overprotective brother? Yes, he might appear busy, but he is always here for you! Just ask him, and he will arrive;

— Makes sure so you will not feel lonely or insecure. Always comments on how nice and smart you are, and encourages you a lot. Spits flattery such as oh, one day you will beat me up, my little starfish!;

— If anyone else he trusts you with, it will be Jade.

[loony-n-moony]

Stoner Leona real and true to me

If you feel like it, could you expand on him? (Doesn't need to be related to the aforementioned headcanon, just go where your heart takes you)

GRAHHH you ask and you shall receive!!!! I even made a banner >:D

Leona Kingscholar General HCs!!!

How ya’ll likin’ it? (˘⌣˘)☆彡 anywayz here we go

He is a piece of shit stoner, yes, but a SEASONED one. In other words he’s been doing this shit for years

Epel tried to ask him for weed advice or wtv and got sat down for a 20 minute explanation and convo (to the point where Epel didn’t even wanna try anymore)

The reason is bc his first time trying it (when he was like???? 16???) was an ACTUAL disaster. I’m talking greening out, throwing up, having a panic attack and thinking his mom’s gonna hang him.

See, for a period of time as a kid, Leona was a MODEL child. Good grades, good behavior, all in the hopes of receiving some praise and attention.

When THAT didn’t work, he flipped it and became the biggest nuisance known to man. And it kinda worked! Until he got tired of actively choosing to be the worst every single day

That’s when he just gave up and started hating people altogether.

Enough angst, Leona is the type to cry when he gets pissed

See, I’m not talking frustrated or annoyed like he usually is, I mean like RIDDLE ANGER LEVELS angry. When that happens, he has to walk out so people don’t see him tear up.

Savanaclaw was all like “woahhh he must be really upset… look at him walking away to maintain his patience… so epic…!!!1!” When in reality he just can’t afford having his underlings dorm-mates watch him cry.

Don’t let his nonchalance fool you, he’ll beat a bitch for Cheka

This isn’t JUST Leona but everyone in Savanaclaw cries when a dog dies in a movie

Speaking of, animals love him. Much to Ruggie’s jealousy.

A little bit after Cheka was born, Farena kept giving Leona shit about when he’ll settle down with someone of his own, and it annoyed Leona so much he shouted “I’M GAY” in his brother’s face just so he’d shut up.

He in fact, didn’t shut up and tried having a heart to heart with him, so much that Leona was weighing the pros and cons of killing him right there.

He’s bisexual but that’s beside the point,

Leona was fucking THRILLED when Rook wanted to transfer

No I’m dead serious Leona wanted to kick him out but Crowley was being a little bitch about it so he couldn’t. 

Usually the transfer process is very lengthy but Leona asked ZERO questions and Rook was out THAT DAY.

As long as he doesn’t have to deal with the Keter level fujoshi that is Rook, he’s happy.

Whenever Idia gushes about cats, Leona instinctively covers his ears bc Rook deadass is that PTSD inducing.

He’s sensitive to light flashes so he almost mauled Cater one time

[harzilla]

For the long sibling au, what if Yuu was like a bastard child like it's Leona's mum, but the mum had an affair with a magicless human? So on top of having no beastman features and no magic, they were born they also look nothing like either of Leona and Falena's parents, making it obvious Yuu is an affair baby (affair baby yuu has more similar features to their bio dad). The royalty court wanting to cover this up basically (Kifaji had no idea of this of course) yoinks baby Yuu from their crib and somehow magics up a portal and throws them to earth in hopes they'll never be seen again.

- 🐐

Ohh that is really interesting and potentially very angsty. This came to me a lot easier then I thought.

Tw: angst, infant "death", lots of shitty adults in general.

So imagine for whatever reason, the queen falls pregnant with another man's child. The bedroom affairs of the royal family are kept incredibly hush hush. But the queen ends up pregnant. Perhaps the only three who know are the king, the queen, and the affair partner. Of course Farena and Leona are clueless. Leona is around four years old. Not yet the cynic he is now, so he's genuinely excited. All they know is their mother is going to have a baby and they're going to have a new little brother or sister.

The queen eventually giving birth and labor goes poorly. The queen survives but she's very weak, has to be carefully monitored to ensure she recovers. The baby is alive, taken to be checked over and cleaned up, but it's a shock that it's a child that is free of any beastman features.

The council is quickly informed and they're in an uproar. There's no way the public can know about this child. This would cause a scandal. Destroy the reputation of the queen, bring a mark of disgrace to the Kingscholar line. There's no way a bastard child can be allowed to stay in the palace.

So the council comes up with a plan.

They'll get rid of it and lie.

They, without the Queen's knowledge they go to the king and whisper into the King's ear. The child isn't yours, your majesty. What will the people think? This would shake the people's trust in her highness, in you. She's so terribly weak right now, just imagine what this could do to her. You know what you must do, right?

So the king decides to put his family first and orders they get rid of the baby. The lie is simple, the queen is to be told the baby died shortly after birth. Complications from the labor and such. The public are told that the third Kingscholar child had returned to their ancestors. Maybe the king isn't completely heartless and uses a very ancient spell known only to a select few.

The baby is whisked away by a magic spell that sends it to a place where it should never be able to return to the Sunset Savannah.

So the little baby ends up in our world. Baby who soon gets placed up for adoption. Baby who grows up and on the outside they look like every other kid. But they're just not right. Their senses are noticably sharper then others. Even as they got older and ran blood work, nobody could figure it out. No DNA matches came up when they searched. The closest explanation is the doctors think Yuu has some kind of genetic mutation. Yuu's family is a blank slate.

Yuu grows up to get into a bunch of fights. Their adoptive parents scolding them for getting into a fight. Yuu points out that the other person insulted them by saying that they were trash and it was no wonder their bio parents got rid of them. Just growing up to be very physical towards their bullies.

Yuu eventually ends up in Twisted Wonderland. All of 16 years old, they're sarcastic, snide. They don't exactly have the best opinion of others. But they gradually warm up to the idea of people here might actually care about them.

Eventually it's figured out that Yuu isn't fully human and actually has some beastman DNA. Yuu at first thinks this is impossible, because beastman don't exist back home. But the DNA test proves that Yuu has beastman ancestry, even pegging it as lion beastman. Narrowing it down to sunset savannah(DNA records for the royal family are not available to the public.)

Eventually Yuu heads to the Sunset Savannah with Leona during cloud calling. Hoping they can track down somebody from their bio family. Leona originally planned not to bring them but they wormed their way in like they always do. Leona already has his suspicions about Yuu and he uses the royal family database to compare his and Yuu's DNA. He's shocked because he thought Yuu might just be a distant relative but they're actually a close enough match to be half siblings. He might only have a very vague memory but he's never forgotten how his mother mourned her third child.

Leona's father is ill, his health degrading. But Leona still manages to get the truth out of him. Leona has always hated how complicit his Father has been in keeping the status quo.

It's Yuu who takes it the worst. Being told that the royal family and Kingscholar line will always come first. They had to get rid of them because otherwise they could have potentially been a threat to the legitimate children and their future heirs.

It's enough to finally break the facade of will power and confidence Yuu has used to survive in Twisted Wonderland. They've been through so much. They always felt like an outsider no matter where they were. They finally had felt like maybe they were building some kind of life here. It wasn't until they became close with Ace and Deuce that they felt like somebody actually had their back for once in their life.

But this? The absolute look of disgust Leona had that day towards his father and the council will never be forgotten by those who witnessed the tragic spectacle.

[robo-milky]

clochepel lover not in the "they should kiss" way but rather the "epel becomes such a sopping wet pathetic creature around her and it's hilarious please god never let the one sided pining end" way

THANK YOU ANON—!!

That is spot on! That’s basically the gist of their dynamic and IF Cloche ever does reciprocate?? It’s gonna be when Farena Kingscholar is revealed 😩

The humour and angst that comes out of this gives me serotonin and I’m glad you enjoy it too <3 Thank you, the quiet minority, for speaking out! Enjoy this low quality edit 💞

LEONA KINGSHOLAR

“I keep trying to be a better prince, even when everything i do seems to back fire ”

[ COMFORT, ANGST ]

I’m yet again getting scolded for causing troubles. i can’t take their judging faces and mean glares that’s directed towards me. all i did was defend myself from those who came to mock my entire well-being..

my Brother Farena could only disappointedly sigh for what has transpired as he tries to lessen this ungodly mood by reasoning with our Parents.

“ Mother.. Father.. You shouldn’t be too harsh on Leona, he’s trying his best! those people mocked his very own well-being, he couldn’t just sit and listen to them bring him down and make a fool out of him”

“ I do not see the need to side with him farena. he caused so much troubles. what a troublesome son i have. “ Father hissed as he glares at me. as he opened his mouth to spew more toxic words towards me.

“ Leona. i expected better from you! why can’t you be like your Older brother?! “ he said while hitting the table.

“ Hah?! you expect me to be like my brother? when i’m not even him! “ I retorted, i could only jolt in realizing what i’ve said. the dining room was filled in silence as my father grit his teeth.

“ You insolent Brat! Why did i even bother to raise you here in this Grand Palace?! “ he stood up, hitting the table.

“ Dear! let’s not cause more problems! we should be eating Right now, not fighting “ my mother stood up trying to calm down my raging father who’s still glaring at me.

I shrunk down in my chair as i pick at the food, with no interest to digest it.

“ you shouldn’t have said that leona. you made his mood even worse.. “ Farena says as he cuts his steak into smaller pieces. i stare at him at his indifference about the situation. “ You should eat even a couple of bites “ Farena suggested while staring at the steak that’s on my plate.

I hummed quietly “ It’s not like his mood is already worse, before i came here “ i whisper as i angrily pouted. i stabbed the steak and slice it up into uneven chunks. and ate.

i saw farena sigh and looked away.

Now i’m currently in my room, alone. i’ve always liked the cold wind, it’s refreshing. i closed my eyes and heard a knock.

“ Who’s there? “ i warily asked as i sat up slowly. “Dear, it’s your mother, will you let me in? “ My mother asked softly as she lightly Pushed the door open.

“ Mother… what brings you here..? “ i cautiously asked as i stood up.

“ I’m here to talk about what happened.. “ My mother said as she sat on the corner of my bed.

“ i’m sorry..” i apologized as i plopped down on the bed.

“ You don’t have to say sorry.. now tell me what’s bothering you..” my mom calmly said as she pats my head gently.

“ I.. i just feel so unwanted.. “ i hesitantly said as i glanced at my mother who has a shocked expression.

“ My dear.. i’m sorry that you feel that way, we never intended to make you feel unwanted, useless and.. incompetent.. “ Mother says as she pulled me in a hug.

I shed a tear as i hugged her back.

“ I keep trying to be a better prince, even when everything i do seems to back fire.. “

Misunderstood Tries

This is my first ever fanfic so hopefully it’s not bad T.T                               One Cup of the Special Brew Misunderstood Try’s. With a splash a angst, a sprinkle of fluff, and a mix Leona and Farena Kingscholar. I hope you enjoy~

Tw: Some minor violence and details! *This is not a ship fic!* *This fic was made by Hytyyto’s Tea Time! Otherwise known as Hytyyto! Please do not repost or such without proper credit! Ty~*

Leona was many things. He was the definition of brain and brawn. However from the moment he was born those talents didn’t matter. Atleast, that’s what he thought. He lived life basking in the shadow of his elder brother. From the moment he stepped foot on the world he was always nitpicked for not being like Farena. It didn’t matter if he was only a child, he was either way going to be judged. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how diligent he worked, he was going to place second. As he grew he became lazy and developed an attitude because of his upbringing.

Now Farena you might say is the dear opposite of his brother. He was cheerful and a bit of an idiot but many found it endearing. He was often coddled and liked by the people of the Afterglow Savannah, unlike his brother. He grew up to be cheerful and friendly. He ended up succeeding the throne and had 1 son. Much to Leona’s demise. 

It is not an exaggeration to say that Farena tried hard to support and motivate Leona. Unlike the the majority of the Afterglow Savannah, Farena cared about Leona very much. However Leona ended up pushing him away even though he never did anything to him directly. However as mentioned Farena is a very cheerful person, it didn’t matter if Leona pushed him away. He still checked up on him and tried to talk some sense into him.

Farena was very aware that his brother most likely didn’t care for him. However what if he was wrong about that? Continue on as you hear the tale of these brothers who were ever so distant, become close in an instant~

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

Leona let out a sigh. After living in the NRC campus he forgot what it’s like to have duties as a prince. He barely got 5 hours of sleep and was exhausted with work. Doing tasks for everyone, making public appearances, etc. He was being run ragged. He felt less like a lion and more like a dog on a leash. 

He got up and stretched, he was done early for the night and decided to treat himself by going to bed early. However as soon as he left his study he saw some servants running towards him in a hurry. 

“Leona-san! Something urgent has come up, it’s about your brother!”

He nodded his head signaling for them to continue. He swore if it was something where he needed to clean up Farena’s messes his head was going to explode.

“Farena-sama had almost gotten assasinated and is hospitaltized! The assasin was caught but Farena-sama had gotten some severe injuries. ”

Multiple thoughts flashed through Leona. What an idiot! What was he thinking being so reckless!? Is he alright? Does he know the consequences of his actions? Since when did I even care for him? He couldn’t help asking himself. Even though he wanted to ask them all only 1 simple question came out of his mouth,” How is he doing?”

“They said he should be fine, but the doctors want him to stay at the hospital until a few magical curses come off as well as some bruises.”

“Can they not bring him to the palace and take care of him here?”

“Majority of their equipment is big and complex, they said it isn’t smart to move it and just let Farena-sama stay at the hospital for another 3 days. They said to use this number if you wanted to contact them.”

“Understood, you can leave now.” 

As he walked to his quarters Leona could feel the existing knot in his chest tightening. Even if Farena was fine he wanted to check up on him immediately. He couldn’t wrap his head around how carefree he can be. Then again he always was like that. 

“Leona! Leona!”

“What is it Farena?”

“Wanna build a sand castle with me? Your unique magic would be useful!”

“Are you an idiot Farena? If anyone saw me use my unique magic near you they would all be barking nonstop about me trying to kill you!”

“But-”

“No, that’s final.”

Leona could still remember what happenend after that. Since Leona refused to make sand for Farena’s sand castle, his elder brother went looking outside the palace for some. He ended up getting caught in quicksand and their father having to pull him out. If only I was there. 

. . . 

The royal family was finally granted direct access to see Farena, and with his thoughts eating at him and his sister-in-law dragging him, there was no way Leona could skip it. If only he was still at school, he wouldn’t have to deal with this. 

The guards stayed outside as all 3 of the royals spent “chatting” with Farena. His sister-in-law caught him up on recent events and such. Cheka had basically jumped on top of his father and started screaming in his ear a bunch of random things, reminded Leona of another moment a while back. 

At last, it was Leona’s turn. Leona didn’t want to have to talk in front of his sister-in-law and Cheka so he asked them if he could talk to Farena privately. He didn’t need his sister-in-law and Cheka getting on his case for scolding Farena. As they left Farena stared at Leona with shock. His little brother willing to talk to him 1 on 1? Never in a million years. 

“ Don’t think I’m doing this for love or something like that. I’m here to make you realize how much of an idiot you are. Do you have any idea how much trouble would be caused if you die!?” Leona attempted to sound angry.

Farena laughed, ” You can’t be direct with your emotions can you?”

“Why you! I’m just stating how troublesome it would have been. It’s not like everyone could be like you, you kno-” Leona was cut off as he felt two arms embrace him.

“And no one needs to.” Farena felt tears fall on his shoulders.

“I’m glad your okay.”

“I’m glad too Leona. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to see this adorable reaction from you.” 

“Shut up.”

“Hmph! Well I’m sorry I didn’t know you even cared for me for all of my life until now! Jokes aside though, I’m glad you return my care and love.”

“Of course I do, also you better not use this as blackmail Farena.”

“Oh, I definitely will.”

“Farena!” The two bickered on. 

Little did they know, 2 other royals may have been watching through the door window watching the brothers reconcile.

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

I hope you were able to enjoy your cup of tea~

TWST MEMORIES 6: Leona Kingscholar (Age 8)

Actually teared up while writing this idk why i made his so much more angsty than the others

TW: Violence, some body horror, mentions of injuries, assassinations, flashbacks

Leona struggles to come to terms with what had happened… how could Farena ever understand?

"And I do say-!" Their father's royal advisor drones on, yapping on and on. Leona stifles a groan as he rolls his eye, the other one covered in a thick layer of plaster and bandages. 

"Farena-!" He mumbles under his breath, grabbing the attention of the eighteen year old. The boy hums and looks over at him, ear twitching. "Make 'im stop!" 

"He's just trying to help us," Farena mumbles back, smiling in the direction of his eight year old brother, who actually groans and makes the bird beastman pause, whipping his head around so fast Leona was surprised to see that his hair feathers were still in place and not falling to the ground, leaving bald patches over the older man's head. He stifles a chuckle as the man narrows his eyes down at him.

"Well, your majesties~" He begins pompously, dragging out their titles as Leona huffs and crosses his arms, making his older brother chuckle in amusement. "After the events of last week, you two need to learn how to properly take over the throne, especially with... both the King and Queen unable to..."

Farena shoots a nervous look at his younger brother, his warm brown eyes trailing to the bandages that cover his left eye. His younger brother stares down at the ground, small hands turned to fists as he glares up at the advisor, previous joking mood cast off to the side. Farena takes a step closer, to wrap his tail around his brother's, but the young Leona takes another step, just out of reach of his brother. 

Leona takes a shaky breath, feeling the tears of fear well up in his eyes from the memories of what had happened, his stomach turning to ice and head spinning, the long scratch and his eye throbbing at the memory. 

His mother and him taking a walk through the pridelands, the assassin, his mother attempting to protect him, the way the man tried to slice through his eye-

"Leona..."

His father seeing the fate of his wife, his son on the ground, screaming and writhing on the ground as he clutches the wound over and on his eye. The thick, ashy scent of his father's magic turning bitter and pungent... the ink that consumed the assassin and his father alike... 

Farena dragging him off, despite Leona's claws digging into his arms and his pleas to go to their parents, Leona begging him to let him help, or for Farena to stop being a coward and do something himself.

"Leona!" The boy jumps, wiping the tears that had fallen from his eyes. He feels his face flush in embarrassment, but he's unable to focus on the feeling any longer. The image of his mother was burned into his eyes, one Leona wishes he could yank out of his brain through his ears and stomp until it was mush along the Savanna's grassy floor.

The queen- his mother- jumping in front of him, fangs bared against their attacker, the man's swift movements, his mother falling to the ground and the boy not having enough time to comprehend what had happened before the man's dagger was against his head-

Leona huffs and storms off, ignoring the shouts of his brother and the advisor. He storms through the palace, glaring at any servants who dared to look at him in that way. 

"It's your fault," Their eyes say as they duck their heads and scurry away. The boy picks up his pace until he's at his room, slamming the door behind him and locking it before burying himself under his blankets, entire body- from the tips of his ears to the fluff of the end of his tail- quivering. He pulls the ends of his ears down until the bases ache, curling up under the warmth of the blankets. He gulps down air, tears spilling out of his eyes. 

He feels deep longing in his chest, a dull ache that pulls at his heartstrings until it's too much for the boy to bear. He wants to hear his mother's laughter, her soft voice singing a song that rings throughout the Savanna's many festivals. His mother's deep humming as she tells the story of the Circle of Life only serves to dig him deeper into the abyss he was sinking into. 

"Not fair..." He mumbles into the blankets, feeling the wave of apathy wash over him as exhaustion shuts his system down. "None of it's fair." He closes his eyes, surrounded by the imaginary figure of his mother stroking his ears and brushing his hair, weaving the strands into intricate braids that framed his small face. 

"Leona...?" A small whisper from his doorway. The boy huffs and tries to bury himself deeper within the silk quilts and lavish pillows. 

"Go away!" He growls, only to feel a heavier weight sit itself upon the foot of the bed, making the mattress dip. "Farena..." He grumbles.

"I'm sorry, Leona,"

"Shut up."

"I tried to do what I thought was right, and when I saw your eye I just-"

"I said shut up!" The boy jumps out from under his small pile of pillows and blankets and glares at the boy, emerald green eye brimming with tears that threaten to spill. He feels a stab of pain as the bandage becomes loose from his movements, falling off his face. Farena's eyes go wide as he scoots closer to his brother, who instinctively reaches his hand up to his eye. The older boy holds his wrist in his large hand, hushing him. Leona, now without the energy to fight, allows the boy to lower his hand back down and run a delicate finger over the stitches. 

"Can you open your eye?"

"No..."

"Leona..." The boy huffs and slowly peeks his eye open, wincing at the bright light. Farena seems to take the hint and walks over to the curtains, pulling them shut . Leona slowly opens his left eye once more, struggling to keep it open due to the harsh burn that came with each blink and the way it blurred the rest of his vision. Farena's lips stretch into a deep frown as he moves to the hallway, mumbling something to a passing servant, who nods and scurries off. 

His brother moves to sit beside him on the bed. 

"I wanna see..." Leona mutters. 

"Hm?"

"I wanna see... what it looks like," Farena sighs and walks over to his brother's messy dresser, digging through a drawer until he finds a small mirror. He walks it over to his brother, whose hands shake and palms sweat as his mind races at what he could look like. He imagines a terrible monster with half of his face missing, revealing the bone of his skull. He takes the mirror in shaky hands and stares at his eye, opening the left one. 

The first thing he sees is the long scratch that cuts from the top of his forehead to the middle of his cheek, the stitches making his skin stretch as the area around it almost seems to glow in a deep red from the wound itself. He opens his eye once more, feeling sick at what he sees. 

The white of his eye is replaced with a bright red that makes his iris appear to be a brighter green than the other one. The iris itself appears folded in on itself, with the pupil bent out of shape and even leaking out of the small circle it was normally confined in. He tries to make both of his eyes face forward, but the injured one seems to naturally drift inwards, towards the bridge of his nose. 

Taking a shaky breath to try to gulp down the bile that rises in his throat, he puts the mirror down. 

"The doctor said you'll feel a lot better in a little bit," A knock at the door makes Farena stand up and he accepts what the servant hands him- some eye drops and an ice pack, along with new bandages and antiseptic. "Lean your head back-" Leona does as his brother tells him and he blinks the eye drops away, groaning and whining as he goes to rub his eye, but his brother stops him. 

"Now stand still," He holds Leona's smaller hand in his own and rubs the antiseptic along the scratch, making the boy hiss and try to scamper back. His brother's strength outweighs his own and he's forced to sit while he slowly cleans what he can and applies new bandages. "Better?"

Leona forces himself to nod. "Hey, come with me," Leona doesn't have the strength to argue as he's led through the palace by his brother. The boy looks out the tall, floor-length windows and gapes at the stars that glimmer, before staring down into the valley of the Savanna and seeing the lights of all the people of their kingdom, all their houses, he can even see the familiar glow of some bonfires in the more rural areas. From where their kingdom was, Leona swore he could see everyone who ever lived in the kingdom, each beastkin out there, even the humans who lived among them, some of the mer who often settled along the shores and riverbanks... 

His whole kingdom in one place. 

He feels a stab of pride at the thought before turning his head away and following his brother farther and farther from the castle, passing through the tall grasses until they find themselves in a huge field, surrounded by the chirping of crickets and the breeze through the tall trees and grasses. If Leona listened closely enough, he could even hear faint splashing from the watering hole most of the Savanna's animals drink from. 

"Why are we here...?"

"Did Mama and Baba ever tell you about the stars?"

"Mama did..." Leona begins, hesitant. In the back of his mind he feels a pang of annoyance and dread, believing that he was going to be lectured by his older brother again. 

"Well, you weren't born yet when Bibi and Babu passed... and when they did I couldn't understand why they wouldn't be in the palace anymore," Farena lets out a sad chuckle. "I was still very little too... even younger than you."

"Your point?"

"All the great kings and queens of the past are in the stars, and everyone who's ever loved us- loved you- watches over us from there."

"So that means..."

"Whenever you feel scared or alone... Mama will always be there to guide you. And when it's our time, so will Baba, and so will I," The teen's voice breaks at the end, and Leona looks up in shock, having seen nothing but a reassuring smile on his brother's face since the day of the accident. "I was scared, Leona."

"But... you're never scared."

"I was then," Farena sniffles, wiping at his eyes. "I was afraid that I was going to lose you too. I knew Mama and Baba would be fine on their own but you..."

"I'm strong enough!"

"That's not the point, Leona," He shuts the younger boy down. Leona sits in silence, ears flattening against his head at the tone that laces his brother's voice. "I'm older than you, I'm your big brother, for fucks sake-" That makes the boy jump- Farena never swore. "If I lost you too..." He trails off, wiping at his eyes once more and turning to his younger brother, who stares at the ground, chest filled with guilt- lead that wormed it's way into his chest cavity and ate away at any comfort he would feel, rising to his head and making his eye throb. "I'm proud of you Leona, more than I can put into words."

The boy, unable to come up with a response, stays quiet. 

"Now c'mere you-"

"Farena!" The boy yelps as his brother grabs him and begins to play wrestle with him, lightly biting at his arm. "Get off me you idiot!"

"You said you were strong!" Farena laughs, rolling with the boy in the grass before jumping off him and jogging away. Leona feels a surge of annoyance at his brother, unable to fight the grin that makes it's way onto his face. 

"I am!" He chases after the taller boy, growling and snarling as he launches himself on the boy's back. Their running disrupts the resting fireflies in the grass, the path they were running along illuminating and rising into the air the more they ran in circles, jumping on each other and biting at the other's ears, tail, arms, whatever was within reach. 

Leona giggles as he pins his brother down, laughing between deep breaths from all the running around. "Told you!"

"You did..." Farena pants, going limp on the ground. "You win!" The older boy laughs, a deep, booming laugh that nearly shakes the younger boy off his stomach. Leona rolls off him and onto his back as well, staring into the stars with him. The fireflies and the stars blend together as the boys' tails intertwine with one another silently. 

"Farena?" Leona whispers, just barely loud enough for the other beastman to hear. 

"Hm?"

"...Stick around, will ya?" His voice breaks at the end. 

"I always will, Leona," Farena whispers, reaching for his younger brother's hand. The boy takes it  and gives it a squeeze, met with a much stronger squeeze. "I always will."

[uhh-materialgworl]

Hello! Idk if you write Farena but if you do may I request this with Farena and Leona. If not then it's ok

I've never written Farena before. This is interesting.

Y/n and Leona are 16, Farena is 17. Y/n grew up in afterglow Savannah. Cheka is 4 in the end.

How you get Cheka is up to you.

Takes place while Farena is on break from school. Let me know if you want to know/read more.

GN!Y/n x Farena Kingscholar

I've got you

“Ah~! Wait, not there...!”

“Tone it down a little. You’re a loud one, aren’t you?”

Y/n covered their mouth, afraid they’d let out a scream if they didn’t. They had left on a 3-day trip that Leona couldn’t go on because he had suddenly fallen ill. They returned from the trip with a handful of gifts, only to be greeted by the sight of their beloved boyfriend making out with one of the maids.

Y/n let the tears fall but didn’t dare make a sound. They turned around, ready to storm out of the castle until they were pushed against the wall.

“What the f-”

“Shh,” someone pinned them against Leona’s door and kissed the roughly, desperately, a silent plea for them not to leave. Y/n unconsciously wrapped their arms around the person’s neck, no longer caring what happened. They didn’t even have to open their eyes to know it was the future king of afterglow savannah, Leona’s older brother, Farena Kingscholar.

“Oh fuck,” he groaned, “you have no idea how long I’ve waited to do that.” Farena sighed as he rested his forehead against theirs. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for doing that and I’m sorry my brother didn’t realize just how much you are worth. I’m sorry he cheated, and I completely understand if you want to leave. If you want, I’ll arrange for you to leave to another country if that is what you wish.”

Y/n shook their head, “No...no it’s fine. Can we go somewhere else? I... I don’t want to be here anymore.”

“Of course, come on.” Farena led them to his room, not saying anything as they broke down crying again. He genuinely had no idea how his brother could have cheated on Y/n. Leona had always been self-sabotaging, but he honestly did not expect his little brother to ruin a perfect future with Y/n.

Farena would never do that to Y/n. He’d make sure that for as long as he lives, whether it be with them or not, he’d make their life as comfortable and easy as possible. So, he pulled them close to him for the rest of the walk to his room.

“Don’t worry,” Farena whispered in their ear, “I’ve got you.”

-----

“If I were to be honest, I think fell for you the minute Leona introduced you to us. I know it’s wrong, but how could I resist someone as kind as you?”

“And... when did you realize?”

“Hm... I’d say the day you argued with Leona about treating me better. He had destroyed something valuable to me and I had felt so happy when you stood up for me. Seeing you mad was kind of hot too...” Farena murmured the last part.

Y/n looked down sheepishly, “I’m sorry, I just don’t think I’m going to be ready for a relationship anytime soon. I’m not saying I wouldn’t want to! Just...not yet. You’re a really nice guy, so I want to give you a chance. Eventually.”

“No, I understand. I wasn’t expecting you to accept right away. Plus, I want to properly ask you out. Get to know you more than I already do, you know?” Farena smiled, “However, you still need to heal from my brother’s betrayal, and I will be here every step of the way.”

Y/n’s eyes widened. “I... Thank you. You’ve done so much for me...I-”

“OPEN THE DOOR FARENA!” Leona banged on the door furiously, desperately. “I KNOW THEY’RE IN THERE!”

“Leave Leona, haven’t you done enough already?”

“Why didn’t you tell me you were back? Y/n, come out already, I have to talk to you! I swear they didn’t mean anything to me, you know I only love you!” Leona kept banging on the door, “Come out, I will destroy the door!”

Y/n glanced at Farena nervously. Farena quickly rushed them to his closet and hid them there, just as his door turned into sand.

“Where are they?” Leona looked around Farena’s room, carelessly tossing things around.

“Haven’t you hurt them enough? Leona, please calm down and think about what you are doing You’re scaring them!”

This caused Leona to freeze.

“They’ll talk to you eventually. For now, just leave. They’ll come to you when they are ready. But promise me you won’t be upset with their decision, you caused this after all.”

Leona’s eyes widened before he slowly started laughing, “Hah! Right... I caused this. This is my fault. It’s always me, I just never seem to do anything right, huh?” He ran a hand through his messy hair before sighing, “Y/n, just know that I am sorry. I truly am.” Leona left the room and Farena let out a relieved sigh.

“He’s gone now, Y/n. You may come out.” He looked around his room and frowned, “I have no idea what’s gotten into him. I’m so sorry. I will personally escort you to your home, you should be better there. I will make sure he doesn’t bother you again.”

Y/n shook their head, “No, it’s fine. This isn’t your fault. I’m sorry you had to get involved in this.”

“No, I insist. I will feel more at ease if I know you got home safely.” Farena held out his hand, and for the first time in what felt like forever, Y/n smiled. They took his hand and walked with him. As they walked to Y/n’s house, they got to know each other a little better. They told each other their preferences and funny stories they had to share. Farena couldn’t help but smile fondly every time Y/n got excited as they told him something stupid they had done as a child. This truly was the best day of his life.

“And so I thought Ruggie was dead, but he was actually just pretending. I still can’t believe I had cried my eyes out thinking I had killed him. I tried to run away from home, thinking I would be arrested or something. I had my- oh. We’re here.” Y/n frowned, “Well, it was nice talking to you. It really improved my mood. I’ll see you tomorrow...?”

“Of course! I’d love to hear more of your wonderful stories!” Farena smiled, which caused Y/n to smile in return as they headed inside their home.

Farena had a stupid smile on his face the whole walk back to the castle. If the people noticed his swishing tail, well, they just decided not to comment on it. If Farena was happy, they were happy.

“Should I buy them something? Wait, maybe it’s too soon? Ugh, I have no clue what I’m doing,” Farena groaned.

--------

“Oji-tan! Oji-tan!”

Leona’s eyes twitched, “What are you doing here? Where are your guards? They are probably losing their minds looking for you.”

“I wanted to come visit you, Oji-tan! Daddy said you weren’t feeling well and I wanted to see if that was true.”

Leona groaned, “Well I’m clearly fine, so scra-”

“Cheka! Come back here! Your father almost had a heart attack when he realized you were missing! Please don’t do that, it can be very dangerous for our cute little future king to be roaming around all alone, right?”

“I’m sorry momma/papa/parent. I didn’t mean to...” Cheka seemed close to tears and Y/n instantly ran over to him.

“Oh no no no, please don’t cry, baby! It’s okay, let’s just up to daddy so he won’t faint, ok?”

Cheka nodded and Y/n turned to Leona, “I’m so sorry about him, he was just really looking forward to seeing his Oji-tan. Please come visit more often, we really miss you.”

Cheka started impatiently pulling Y/n’s shirt and they sighed. “Alright, fine, let’s go. Good job today, Leona. Take care, alright?” They grabbed Cheka and started walking towards where Farena was waiting for them.

All Leona could do was watch as Y/n left him behind once again.

“Who was that?” Deuce asked.

“A milf/dilf if you ask me. Mind introducing me, Leona?” Ace asked playfully.

“That...” Leona closed his eyes, “was my first and only love.”

TWISTED WONDERLAND BOYS AND HOW THEY WOULD ACT IF YOU WERE THEIR OLDER SISTER

warnings: hints of angst? mentions of possessiveness

RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS. ❤️

— Big sister? More like a second mother;

— Childhood was rough for both of you, and there wasn't much to do for ground Riddle from it fully, but you tried so hard to make it better than your own;

— You took punishments for your brother, you intentionally caught attention of your mother, so she could ignore Riddle, and you tried to teach him how to have fun properly;

— Riddle understands it when he grows older, but nevertheless, he always was your boy;

— You are his family, but you are also his best friend;

— It hurts you to see how much impact mother put on his mental health, and you struggle so hard to fix it, somehow;

— You are the only one, who can break the rules and make Riddle smile. He doesn't really cares if you are following them, and you honestly don't even try;

— To him, you are always a soft one, his gentle big sister, who takes care of him in the most motherly way;

— But once someone wrongs him... Oh, you definitely your mother's daughter as well;

— OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

MALLEUS DRACONIA. 💚

— Time is different from fae, but Malleus always remembers that you came first, and shows you a lot of respect;

— But you never felt that you are the elder sister THAT much with him;

— Most people assume that you are twins. You look identical, you act the same way, you are both strange in the same manner that people find scary;

— I think, both of you would be quite... Codependent?;

— You had only yourselves all this life, and it hardly changed, since no one wants to socialise with you in the school, so;

— You and Malleus are always together, hip to hip, and sometimes people even confuse you two;

— You are really more shades of each other than anything else, but you are comfortable with that. You share everything, you spend all your time together;

— ...Kinda possessive towards each other, too.

KALIM AL-ASIM. 💛

— When he was younger, you took care of him, admittedly, with some unwillingness. You were older, he was smaller and restless, and you just wanted to mind your business;

— But he is such a sunshine! Always was;

— Your heart grew softer, when he told you, while being still a small bun, that you are the most nice person in the world;

— (You really wasn't back then, but for him? You are now!);

— Basically sunshine and sunshine protector;

— You have a hard time trusting his friends and people around him, and, man, Jamil suffered from your suspicion enough, but... In the end, he is the part of family, too;

— I feel like Kalim adores having matching things. Matching accessories, hats, clothes. He thinks it is an amazing way to bond with you, and you are so into it;

— He is that kind of younger sibling that the more he grows, the more balanced your dynamic becomes, because he starts caring for you, too;

— You are the healthiest duo in the world, lmao.

LEONA KINGSCHOLAR. 🧡

— In this case, you are not the oldest in the family, but you are older than Leona, nevertheless;

— When he was a kid, he loved you so much. He was amazed by you, thought you are so cool, so powerful;

— So he started to take example from you. Quietly, without never mentioning that to you. (So, if anyone Farena blames on Leona becoming is such an ass, it is you, lol);

— Leona started act like you, learned your fighting tips, stole your talking manner, and... And clothes;

— It was you, who started wear leather in the family first, especially, gloves, and it was you, who made yourself two little braids by the both side of your ears;

— Leona is a little copycat, but you honestly love it;

— You took care of him the most from the family in the childhood, because others were busy or never wanted to deal with a cursed kid, and that is why Leona is so into you;

— As grown-ups, Leona starts hating all your friends OR boyfriends—don't dare to have one, he hates him, too—and really insecure because of the thought that you will lose interest in him, since he is not the kid to be taken care of;

— Ha, jokes on you. He is always your little stupid baby.

AZUL ASHENGROTTO. 🩵

— Much like Leona, you was his example all his childhood;

— But unlike his situation, you never had such a bond, when he was a kid. You were always busy with your own stuff, scamming people, reading and studying, and he felt, well, lonely;

— So, if Leona copycates, because he adores his sister, Azul does it in the order to become closer. Yes, he kins Mastermind of Taylor Swift, lmao;

— But it works, and you start taking care of him more often, hanging out to explain things. Azul is happy;

— But others? Others hate both of you;

— Contracts, lies, scams: you do it so perfectly, so smartly, so easily, that others just hope both of you will get thrown out of school, lmao;

— As Azul becomes the same level as you, someone, you can call your equal, you start your little competition. Azul tries to trick you, so you could fall on it, and lose to him;

— It is a friendly one, and you actually love your little game so much!;

— But, oh, Azul... Big sister knows better.

VIL SCHOENHEIT. 💜

— You are older, and that meant you came first. So, you are naturally prettier and more talented. Thanks, he hates it;

— As a child both of you had an amazing relationship, but as Vil got more involved with the outside world, he became more envious of you;

— It feels like he can never reach your level, and people used to pester him a lot with stupid questions about you;

— So, as a teen, he distances himself from you, starting to act annoyed and hateful, focusing solely on becoming better;

— You don't understand what is going on, or what to do, and you actively try to fix everything, but... Eventually, you are too tired to deal with all of it. You surrender. If Vil hates you, so be it;

— He misses you so much all the time, but at the same time, he don't do anything to change your situation. He only silently checks your new photos, listens to your conversations in corridors, and that's all;

— Life goes hard, and once he finds himself in front of your doors, crying and sobbing as a kid. You can't deny him, so you spend all night rocking him in your arms;

— But in the morning there is no trace of him, and in the corridors you act like strangers again;

— And no matter how often it starts to repeat, you still never talk properly.

IDIA SHROUD. 💙

— He is the most annoying little brother EVER;

— He is so stereotypical little sibling, lmao. He just whines about how old and not interesting you are, slams the door, and ignores you half of the time;

— Thanks, you hate it;

— But you try, nevertheless! You try to understand his talks, games and interests, and if you still don't, then you buy him a lot of stuff he wants;

— You bring him food and water, and constantly pester on his health;

— Actually, Idia doesn't hate you! He just likes being annoying little shit;

— So, if something gets too intense or tiring, he stops acting this way, and shows that he cares;

— But if no one dies, he puts typical teenager record player, lol;

— At this point, you are fine with that.

Kings Roar - Part 1

It should have been him, according to Leona.

It should be him dead and not his brother.

Slowly tracing the bullet scar on his abdomen, he was staring at nothing; the only thing pulling him back into reality being Cheka, who was numbly holding onto his leg. Cheka hadn’t spoken since the assassination.

But who could blame him. A son should never have to see his father die. A son should never have to see his mother in a comma.

It shouldn’t have happened on Cheka’s birthday either.

“Sire?” A voice interrupted, an old man walking in. Leona always called him baboon because of the way he walked.

“Yeah?” Leona tugged Cheka closer, he didn’t trust anyone. How could he when it was one of their own advisors who has shot Cheka’s parents and almost shot Cheka? Leona may not have been able to run in front of Farena but he DID stop a bullet from hitting cheka.

“We want to take Cheka to-“ he was interrupted by hysterical wails as the child climbed up leonas leg onto his shirt.

“No. Nobody’s taking him anywhe-“ “You must be married by tomorrow, you must pick a bride!”

Leona looked stunned for a moment, before nodding slowly. “Sanura, then.”

The old man squinted for a moment, tilting his head. “The....The maid, sire? Not...a princess? Just....Just a common maid?”

Leona simply scoffed at the notion. “O am Absolutely not marring a princess. I don’t feel like dealing with a spoiled brat for the rest of my life. Sanura is the only decent female around here.”

The old man simply nodded slowly. “And....what of the boy?”

“What about him?”

“He is...no longer heir, do you wish to give him up?”

Leona froze. Give up Cheka? He may have envied his family but he didn’t hate them! No longer heir.....would he...feel like Leona did? Worse maybe? Having it snatched away at the last second. Leona swallowed hard.

“No. He is the heir. That doesn’t change.” Cheka’s grip lightened even if Leona was almost growling. He simply nuzzled into his uncles neck a bit more, holding on to him like if he let go, he would die.

“Yes...your majesty.” Those words shot pride straight to his heart, despite the circumstances. He was finally recognized...The old man left, leaving Leona and Cheka starring out the window again. Looking at the gardens, listening to the birds. Leona often slept there while the little furball tried to move his arm to cuddle with him.

“When’s daddy coming back?” A small, horse voice finally spoke up after almost an entire month of silence.

“Your father...can’t be with you anymore.”

Within Shadows

Leona angst time.

No, you don’t have a choice in the matter.

***Warning: spoilers for chapter 2 of the main story campaign, contains a scene of fratricide.***

Imagine this...

From the moment he was born, Leona cursed the Fates--and his destiny’s design.

Second born son to the Kingscholar household--that was all he was and all he would ever be. All that he could hope to be. The bitter man who would never become king.

His family, his people...they all looked to his elder brother, Farena. Praised him, worshipped, loved him. Farena’s world was always warm and bright and brimming with love.

Leona scoffed at the notion.

Love was a prize constantly dangled in front of him, a prize he could never attain.

But Cheka could. And surely he would follow in his father’s footsteps. He would hold Farena’s hand and they would bask in the glow of the savannah together.

And what did Leona get? What could he hope for in his future?

A cold, hard floor to sleep on. Animal skulls to play with. Leftover scraps of flesh to call his sustenance. Shunned and banished into the black void of history, starved for love.

Even sunlight itself seemed to retreat from him, refusing to touch the lowly second-born Kingscholar. Only under the cover of night and its shadows could he vent his true frustrations. The moon and the stars often greeted him, coating his tongue in a metallic taste.

“What are you scared of?!” he wanted to shout at the sky, drowning out his ancestors, and those that had doomed him to this cruel fate. But alas, dead men live to tell no tales.

Leona could claw and claw all he wanted, but he could never climb to the top. No matter his efforts, everything he touched either fled from him or crumbled to sand in his hands--the particles, slipping through his fingers and flying to the wind.

His world was a cold, dark, lonely one.

Always.

Always...!

But now, the tables have turned in his favor.

Leona stands on a cliff. He glowers--for below him, a stampede rages. And there dangles his golden boy of a brother, dangling by a single hand. Hanging precariously between the earth and the sky.

The once proud man’s wild mane of red hair billows in the breeze, and his feet scramble to catch a hold of a rock, a ledge--any kind of life line he can desperately cling to.

Him.

The one and only king of the Afterglow Savannah.

“L-Leona, brother! Thank goodness you’re here...!” Farena cried out. “Quickly, pull me up!”

Leona scoffs. He enjoys the look of terror that graces Farena’s face--the same face that had robbed him of everything in his life.

“I think not.”

Farena’s face falls. “W-What?”

Leona takes his sweet time to kneel down, meeting his brother’s pleading gaze with a fierce one of his own. The sunlight behind Leona casts shadows his face, forming in angular shapes on his features.

He lunges, digging his fingernails into the back of hands.

Farena let out a sharp cry of pain--but still, he holds on.

Leona savors it--that pained expression on his brother’s face. Perhaps now Farena knows a fraction of the pain he has suffered over the years, of all the time Leona as spent stirring in the shadows.

Stirring, and scheming.

He leans down, offering his brother a sinister, sharp-toothed grin.

The smile of a traitor.

“Long live the king,” Leona declares, his low voice dripping with sarcasm.

And he shoves.

Farena goes flying off the cliff and into the stampede. His limbs writhe, reaching for the sunlight--the sun that now drowns him out--and for Leona--the brother that betrayed him.

His struggle is futile.

The earth will reclaim Farena soon--all as foretold in the Circle of Life.

Leona watches from on above, a satisfied, self-serving smirk plastered on his face.

Farewell, dear brother of mine.

“O-Ojitan...?”

Leona’s ears perk up at that familiar, annoying squeak.

He tilts his head--and there is a terrified, trembling Cheka standing behind him, the armful of berries he had collected spilling out by his feet.

“W-What did you d-do to papa...?” the little boy asked quietly, his small face frozen in fear. “What did you do, Ojitan?!”

Leona falters, but only for a heartbeat.

“I am fulfilling my ambition, furball. I am claiming my destiny.”

His eyes become harsh.

“And if you know what’s good for you, you will stay out of my way.”

Leona prowls off, leaving Cheka, sobbing, in the wake of the tragedy. He crushes berries under his foot, creating crimson trails. They may as well be pools of blood, for all Leona is concerned.

In the Afterglow Savannah that day...

The lights grow--but so, too, do the creeping shadows.

— LEONA X FEM!BUNNY READER ˗ˋˏ♡ ˎˊ˗

• general, soft fluffy headcanons jwjwjw >:)) !!

because our hubby needs it ;3 !!

mentions of : sexual themes, predator-prey relationship, general fluffy stuff and mentions is angst then and there !!

“ If you only knew how much you meant to me, Kingscholar.. The things I’d do for you, the very galaxies and stars i’d lay before your feet if I could.. If only I could grab the very essence of life itself and pour it down onto the spring meadows we both lumber our sleep upon, I’d fill the fields with flowers for us to run across on and rift ourselves away with our bodies and mind swayed away.. Just you n’ me, Leona.”

He felt his heart skip a heat, thundering with passion with cupids arrow struck into his heart; piercing through the skin and tissue and straight into his veins.

Leona, the prideful lion who couldn’t give an ounce, not even two shits, about being affectionate and all; he couldn’t be easily swayed with words, nor could he easily be swooned with smirks. but you, Herbivore? Oh, darling you have no idea what you do to him.

He’s speechless, breathless, he wants to fucking pick you up and kiss the life out of you with all your heart and his too. Leona; whom had never been thought to be considered someone worthy; only knew that he was worthy to himself. His narcissism grew and grew, yet when you said that; everything fell..

He was no longer dawned on the thought that people should beckon to him, but instead- he found himself drawing nearer towards you.. Expressionless as he cups your little, squishy face and leans in with his warm, hot breath touching your skin and leaking softly from the scent of his perfume cascading your senses..

“The fuck’re you sayin’ herbivore? Are ya really trying to test me, huh? Little bunny. Tch, come here, cutie.”

Leona picks you up, grabbing the soft flesh of your thighs as he pushes you into a heavy kiss; regarding with you whimpering under the lions touch. A frightful bunny shouldn’t have said such a beautiful thing.. unless the little herbivore wants a taste of what it’s like to be the queen beside him..~

Leona, all jokes aside, loves it.. he really does. His ears perk up and his blush is so much more evident, as such as his flushed appearance. He can’t believe he’s ever hear something like that.. but given it’s you, he should’ve expected it. But can you blame him for being surprised?

Shadowed in the Afterglow Savannah by his own brother; much to the citizens disapproval of the second brother of Farena, he was looked down upon. Leona didn’t come out unscathed and untouched, frankly- he suffered through the hell of his childhood being second all his life. Thrown away by the country, wasted off from the Savannah. Though he stood firm, bearing a scar on his eye; trauma from neglect and love and affection of those around him and his palace courts-men.

But you, little bunny? You’re healing him. You’re healing his wounds, but even so the scars still remain and linger in his memory, you’re wiping the wounds off his body, erasing every fragment of a bad touch left in his figure. You found the key to his heart, and he utterly adores you for staying with him all these months..

One day, he hopes to take you to his home, and marry you there. Marriage is something you two haven’t talked about, given the early stages of your relationship. But he knows you inside and out, he knows you’re innocent, and even more so; more gorgeous than any girl he’s ever met. I’d say he’d propose to you anytime, anywhere regardless of the situation you’re in or wherever you are.

Leona doesn’t like to admit it, but he genuinely is afraid of losing you, his bunny. His darling herbivore. Leona thoroughly hates showing such weakness towards you. He knows you’re capable of taking care of yourself, especially given the fact women are highly respected back in his home kingdom; and you’re a very independent little bunny.. but hints of fear are given anytime Leona starts fearing you may be stolen away and he will be left with nothing once again.

It will never happen though, you promised him it wouldn’t. You love him with all your given heart, and he believes and trusts your word; and he will never admit any of the things he feels deep down; but he wants you to know that he does care. He does love you, but he’s unsure of how to give you that love.

Guide him through the relationship. Your big lion belongs to you, and you only. And he believes belong him, in a respectful manner of course.

But he knows the basics of dating, he’s had enough experience thirdwheeling Farena and his wife to have his heart stripped off the title of becoming King, thanks to his adorable little nephew. So of course, he knows quite a bit. He will give you expensive things; and no matter what you give him, expensive or cheap, he treasures it.

Made a picture frame of you and him? Expect it to be sitting beside his bed table next to his lamp so he can wake up to seeing your beautiful face every morning.

Made a bracelet out of cheap jewellery? He doesn’t care, he thinks it actually looks pretty good and cute. He will wear it, much to Ruggie’s teasing and soft remarks.

But he does it to show that he does care. And he hopes you do know that..

Leona believes that in a predator and prey relationship, he should mark you as his. Sex is one thing, but another is fully marking your neck; aka— him biting you and actually making a small, open wound in your neck. Hickeys are to be expected every single time in the relationship, regardless if you two are sexual or not.

He will grab you gently by the waist while you’re continuing to do whatever you’re doing; and press his body against you whilst biting your neck softly with kisses and affectionate nips. After all, can you blame this lion for wanting a little taste of his own food?

He will tend to go a bit overboard and end up leaving your neck with hickeys all over; slight drops of blood then and there. If you enjoy that sort of thing like he does then HWJSJWJSUWJ eXpeCt it to happen a lot whenever you’re spending time with him.

Whenever you’re in public spaces in school, you two are holding hands and he just doesn’t give a shit whoever throws a glance then and there. What’s there to be ashamed about? You’re dating. You are something these boys could never have even if they wished. A perfect wifey, motherly figure for Leona. A soft little bunny to wife over the big sleepy lion.

Leona loves the dynamic between you two, and so do you. You will be beside the Savanaclaw trio a lot, staying with Ruggie and hanging out with Jack. Leona trusts them that they’d look after you, given his orders. Especially since you’re a helpless little herbivore thrown out into a pack of wild predators within the school.

But he does tend to be a little jealous then and there, so please don’t mind him whenever you four are hanging out somewhere in his school and his tail tends to give you a little squeeze in your thigh, every so now and then. It’s just his way of being protective and showing the fact that you’re his, nobody else’s. And he is yours to do whatever you please.

He’s not uncomfortable with a lot really, so have free reign to do whatever you like. He struggles with public affection but if you like it, then he’ll let his pride slip. But oh boy, if you’re in private quarters or behind locked doors; you best know you’re not escaping his grasp. He’ll be hella affectionate to you, grinding against you and marking his scent on you.

Whether you like your relationship to be strictly romantic and slightly sexual, or mostly sexual and somewhat romantic, Leona honestly just doesn’t give a shit. He just wants to be with his bunny.

Speaking of which, your ears and tail is what he adores so much about you. His little herbivore is so freaking cute!!! He loves squishing you gently sometimes, touching your tail shaking softly and he loves touching your ears.

Please touch his as well! They’re sensitive but it’s a sign that you trust him. He loves you, dear sweetheart. He wants to be intimate with you, romantically. And he wants nothing more than to be soft and fluffy with you,, truthfully it makes him forget about his past; the future

You make him focus on the present..

.. ❤️🍓❤️

・・・・・・・・👻 ・・・・・・・・

Leona’s Ceremonial gold-and-purple shoes stomped on the fallen amber leaves with a crunch. His eyebrows pinched downward with a scowl to match as he stormed away from NRC’s Main Street—away from the hustle and bustle of the Halloween party.

A phone call with his five-year-old, sweet-as-candy nephew Cheka usually wouldn’t sour his mood too much, but the fact that it came from Leona’s older brother Farena’s phone left Leona’s stomach churning.

It just reminded him of Farena’s existence, one that Leona tried his best to ignore during his time at NRC. Even a speck of Farena’s existence would overshadow Leona’s ever since Leona was born.

Leona remembered one Halloween when he was eight. Bored of the Halloween banquet his family hosted, Leona grabbed his white blanket sheets and pretended to be a ghost, running through the palace halls in hopes that his family and the banquet’s attendants would find his makeshift costume cool or pretend to be scared by his “Boo!”’s. He was only met with these phrases: “Be careful, Your Highness,” or even worse, “Leona, stop embarrassing your brother in front of our guests.”

It was as if Leona and his efforts were invisible at home, unseen by his brother, his father, their family’s members of the royal court, servants, and attendants, as if he was a ghost. Speaking of ghosts…

Leona lifted his head, the hood of his Ceremonial Robes falling behind his head to reveal his brown lion ears as he realized that he wasn’t at the Hall of Mirrors. He intended to return to Savanaclaw and sleep away the rest of Halloween, but it seemed that his anger led him to Ramshackle dorm.

Tonight the dorm was surrounded by pink lotus blossoms and cloud decorations that floated across the dorm’s yard. Crimson paper lanterns strung across the barren trees, and a replica of a long (Chinese dragon) with ruby scales and sky-blue horns created an arch with its tail for visitors to walk through.

In front of the dorm’s ebony wrought-iron gates, jack-o-lanterns emitted a soft golden glow. The jack-o-lanterns' jagged yet jovial smiles contrasted Leona’s scowl, which only darkened at the sight of the decorations.

Tch, not only did I get a phone call from Farena, but now I have to see that lizard’s stamp tour set up?

Leona’s ears then perked at the crickets that sang as if they were celebrating their own Halloween festivities. Leona unclenched his fingers that bunched up and clawed at the thick cotton fabric of his robes’ sleeves. With a deep breath, Leona ran a hand through his wavy dark-brown mane. The comforting silence of Ramshackle made him feel at ease, more so than the brooding silence of his room at Savanaclaw would.

Without thinking twice, Leona walked through the iron gates and up the gray cobblestone steps to the Ramshackle dorm. He stopped at the porch and plopped down on the rickety wooden steps.

Leona tipped his chin up to gaze at the royal purple night sky. The stars weren't as prominent here as they were in Savanaclaw, but Leona could still map out the location of stars and constellations with his eyes alone.

After a few minutes of staring aimlessly up at the sky, Leona rose from the steps to return to Savanaclaw. Before he could leave, however, a certain Diasomnia dorm leader’s voice interrupted Leona’s comfortable silence.

“Did you enjoy the Halloween festivities this year, Child of Man?” Malleus Draconia inquired as the fae appeared in front of the iron gates, his back to the dorm.

“Child of Man”? The hell kind of name is that? Still, Leona crouched down on the steps and raised an ear to hear the recipient of Malleus’s questions.

“I did, thanks for asking!” Leona recognized your cheery voice with a tug at his heartstrings. He waved away the feeling, drooping his eyelids and slouching with his cheek pushed in his palm to appear bored even though he was well out of your and Malleus’s eyesight.

Leona couldn’t go back to the Hall of Mirrors without going through the front gates of Ramshackle, but that would mean he would be seen by you and Malleus…and that was the last thing he wanted.

With irritated flicks of his tail, Leona glared down at his gold-and-purple shoes as he waited for your conversation with Malleus to end, hoping that the two of you would walk back to the party at Main Street, or go Mr. S’s Mystery Shop, or wherever the Seven…Wait. Why do I care?

Before he could even try to answer that in his head, Leona’s eyes shot up to find themselves staring into yours. Leona was too lost in his thoughts to notice earlier that your conversation with Malleus ended and you had walked through the gates to your dorm.

“Leona? What are you doing here?” your eyes widening yet there was no hint of fear in them. Leona at Ramshackle was the last thing you expected on an unpredictable night such as Halloween, but it was a pleasant surprise nonetheless.

To keep his cool, Leona regarded you with his emerald orbs that glowed neon against the pitch-black backdrop of the dorm. Consistent electricity at Ramshackle was something you still needed to get on Crowley’s case about.

“Ramshackle’s nice and quiet, a good spot for gettin’ some fresh air,” Leona’s eyes landed on a plastic to-go bag in your hands. His nose picked up various scents of food from the party. “Droppin’ that off before you head off with the lizard?”

You cocked your head to the side before realizing that the “lizard” Leona was referring to was Malleus.

“Oh! No, I left the party early because I was feeling a bit tired,” you sat down next to Leona, who scooted to make space for you. “I ran into Malleus on my way here and then he left.”

Malleus appeared at Ramshackle earlier to personally thank you for allowing Diasomnia to use Ramshackle as their stamp tour spot. After that, he vanished in sparkles. You chuckled to yourself; your mysterious fae friend-of-sorts certainly enjoyed dramatic exits.

Leona’s eyebrows furrowed at your chuckles, which irked him more than he’d like to admit. “Didn’t know you were so close with the lizard,” Leona mused with all the nonchalance he could muster as his eyelashes fluttered shut. Thank the Seven that his hood hid his furrowed eyebrows.

“Not really,” you replied without hesitation, causing Leona to open one eye and peek at you from the side. “Malleus is kinda mysterious so I don’t know much about him but overall he’s a nice person—I mean, fae.”

Leona opened both eyes, staring at you to detect any hint of a flustered or lovesick expression on your face. Instead, you just seemed like your normal self as you swung your legs in the air and hummed an incoherent Halloween tune to yourself.

“Ah! Speaking of nice people, Kalim made me pack a lot of the party food to bring home,” you patted the plastic bag that rested on your lap. “There’s too much in here for just me and Grim, so if you want to take some, it’s all yours.”

“Sure, whatcha got?” Leona shook the hood off his head and ran a hand through his layered mane. Leona propped up his elbows behind him, his nose perking at the scent of meat.

“Fried chicken, truffle pasta, cupcakes, even tuna tartare,” you rummaged through the bag. The Halloween committee really went all out with the party food this year. “Grim would probably want the tuna tartare, so you can have anything else.”

Your cat demon was still at the party, no doubt stealing food from other classmates’ plates despite having a plate of his own piled high with any and every food provided at the party. It was thanks to the Ramshackle ghosts who stayed at the party with Grim to keep an eye on him that you could go back to the dorm.

“Fried chicken,” Leona answered as if he expected you to just give it to him. After earning a pointed look from you, he sighed. “Please.”

With a pleased smile, you handed him the plastic container of fried chicken. “How was Halloween for you today?” you gazed up at Leona, who sunk his canine teeth into the crispy skin of the fried chicken.

After swallowing the chicken and putting a hand to his mouth, Leona answered, “Loud. Those Magicam Monsters were gettin’ on my nerves and the furball kept calling me all day.”

“Aw, Cheka,” you cooed, remembering the adorable cub who refused to leave Leona’s side at the infirmary after the interdorm Magift tournament. “He’s so cute.”

“Hmph, if you saw how much candy he eats every Halloween, you wouldn’t think so,” Leona grumped. “Always runnin’ around the halls and jumpin’ on my bed back home to call me about candy or what his costume is…”

From Leona’s clipped tone, you noticed that there was probably something more than just Cheka calling Leona on Halloween that made the lion beastman seem more irritated than usual.

“Farena even sent me a picture of Cheka’s pirate costume ‘cuz apparently the furball wanted to match with me,” Leona huffed, his front bangs billowing as a result.

Ever since Leona’s Overblot, you realized that there were conversations Leona refused to dive into or even wanted to bring up.

People and experiences like his family’s lack of attention and care for him or how Leona gained the scar that ran through his left eye were the ghosts of Leona’s past that still haunted him.

“Leona,” you prompted, gently moving the subject back to Leona. “Did you dress up as a kid for Halloween like Cheka?”

“Course I did,” Leona counted off with his slender fingers, which were still adorned the gold rings he wore with his Savanaclaw pirate costume earlier that day. The orange, aquamarine, and cherry-red gems glistened like candies under the moonlight. “I’ve been a ghost, a cowboy, an astronaut, and a ton of other things.”

Even though Leona never cared much for fashion or fancy clothes, he always appreciated Halloween costumes. He could be anything he wanted, after all. Leona the Pirate, free to sail the seven seas without anything or anyone holding him back. Or Leona the Ghost, free to scare anyone at his whim.

“Hehe, you must’ve been really cute back then,” you giggled, imagining a younger Leona with his lion ears peeking through his white bed sheets that he used to make a ghost costume.

“Oi, if you call me cute one more time, I’ll haunt you for the rest of your life,” Leona threatened, except an amused grin formed on his lips.

To Leona’s surprise, you bumped shoulders with him. “I won’t be scared if you’re a ghost because I’ll know it’s you!” you grinned back at Leona.

You expected Leona to offer a biting and teasing comeback, but instead, he swiftly turned his head to face away from you, his two front braids swishing as he did so.

“You shouldn’t say such things, or real ghosts will try to haunt ya,” Leona mumbled, forgetting that you already did live with real ghosts who were friendly and harmless. “Anyways, what did you do as a kid for Halloween, herbivore?”

Before you could answer and share about your life in your world, the chilly wind picked up. You shivered, remembering that you were only wearing your school uniform with a black and purple witch hat the Ramshackle ghosts made for you. In the midst of all the Magicam Monster madness that morning, you had forgotten your school uniform blazer in your room.

“Here,” Leona turned back to you and shrugged off his Ceremonial Robes, leaving him in his black dress shirt with the gold wing collar appliqués.

“Won’t you be cold?” you shifted your eyes away from Leona’s as he leaned in to drape his robes over your shoulders.

“Yeah, but I simply can’t ignore a herbivore in need,” Leona’s deep voice oozed with teasing sarcasm. Still, his heartbeat quickened at seeing you wear his Ceremonial Robes.

With your witch hat and his robes, you looked like an official mage; one that managed to bewitch his mind and heart with your spell-binding smile and presence despite having no ounce of practical magic in your body.

“Gee, how generous of you,” you retorted with equal sarcasm, not missing a beat. You stood up and went over to the porch swing, taking a ivory-colored bundled blanket you left there for whenever you and Grim would sit on the swing or have little picnics on the porch as the weather grew colder.

“I offer you this humble blanket as my thanks,” you tossed the bundled blanket at Leona and rolled your eyes at the lion beastman who only chuckled at your boldness.

Leona caught the thick blanket with one hand, draping it over his head like a cape. The chilly weather and Leona were about as compatible as oil and water.

“Hehe, now you look like a ghost,” you giggled as Leona’s ears flattened against the blanket. Leona smirked, deciding that he’d indulge you. He ducked under the blanket, covering his entire self.

“Boo,” Leona raised his hands slightly with the blanket over him. “I’m the newest ghost at Ramshackle and I’m not leavin’. Watch out ‘cuz I’m the scariest monster you’ll ever know.”

“Why hello Mr. New and Scary Ghost Monster,” you leaned forward. “I suppose that makes us dorm mates. But wait…you sound awfully similar to this one Savanaclaw dorm leader I know…”

You lifted the edges of the blanket, ducking under the blanket with Leona. “You’re no monster,” you joked, beaming up at the familiar lion beastman. “You’re Leona!”

Leona’s eyes widened, his body jerking back and letting the blanket fall over you. Your words struck Leona’s heart like one of Rook Hunt’s piercing arrows to a bullseye.

While Leona was treated like a ghost most of his life back home, he was also feared his entire life up until now as this monster who could turn anything and anyone to sand.

Even if Leona could be anything and anyone he wanted on Halloween, he just wanted to be acknowledged and seen. Not a pirate, not a ghost, not the second-born and scorned prince of Afterglow Savannah, not some monster, but just Leona.

Such a simple statement from you wasn’t going to make the storms that brewed inside his mind and heart cease permanently, but it did release a sea of emotions within Leona that he always shoved and kept in a glass bottle. Even he had to realize that glass was fragile.

Translucent tears pricked at the corner of his emerald gems for eyes, threatening to ruin the charcoal eyeliner Ruggie spent a good twenty minutes putting on Leona hours ago for his Ceremonial Robes look.

Leona shot to his feet, facing away from you and pretending to stretch his arms. “Time to hit the sack,” Leona feigned a large yawn. “Wouldn’t want to stay here when the clock strikes twelve and all these jack-o-lanterns turn back into carriages.”

Damn it, go away! Leona yelled at his tears, blinking furiously, yet droplets of his tears grew in size that threatened to fall from his dark and lush eyelashes.

“I thought it was the other way around,” you emerged from the blanket, setting it aside and standing up to see Leona off. “If you’re leaving, I should probably give your robes back.”

Leona already made his way down the cobblestone walkway to the gates, past the Diasomnia Halloween decorations without even a sneer at them. His tail swished behind him as he stuck his hands in his black pants pockets.

To his surprise, you ran after him still wearing his robes, ready to give them back to him.

“Keep it, I’ll come back for it tomorrow,” Leona replied as he heard you just a few steps behind him. Your eyes bugged a bit at the fact that Leona said he’d come back for his robes himself rather than have Ruggie fetch them for him.

Leona’s eyes widened as well when those words fell from his lips like a natural waterfall, like the tears that now streamed freely down his cheeks as he approached the front gates.

Before he could turn the gates open with his hand, Leona stopped himself. It didn’t feel right to leave like this, not when he wanted to spend the last minutes of Halloween with you. But he wasn’t ready for you to see this vulnerable side of him. Maybe someday, but not yet.

“…Happy Halloween, herbivore,” Leona stared down at the wrought-iron gates, his tears spilling onto them. “Hope I didn’t bore ya too much.”

“I’m glad I got to spend a bit of Halloween with you,” you smiled at his broad back. There was something telling you that he wanted space, and whatever he needed space about, you would wait until he felt safe enough to share it with you someday. “And if you want to stay over a bit after picking up your robes tomorrow, well…I wouldn’t mind.”

It was an indirect invitation as if to say, “If you’re ever feeling down and need someone to talk to, I’m here.”

You held your breath as Leona stood with his back to you in silence, his hand still on the gate.

“I’ll take you up on that,” Leona replied in a soft voice. “Night, Y/N.”

And with that, Leona walked through the gates of Ramshackle to return to his dorm through the Hall of Mirrors. He kept his head down, his mane hiding his face from anyone who would be able to spot the tears forming a pool at the bottom of his chin.

・・・・・・・・・・・・

With the heels of his shoes tapping against the smooth stone tiles of the floor of the Hall of Mirrors, Leona strode towards the Savanaclaw mirror portal. He rubbed the tears off his eyes and cheeks with the back of his fist, no doubt smudging his black eyeliner in the process.

“Tch, I look like a raccoon,” Leona mumbled to himself as he walked through the mirror adorned with flaming torches on either side, elephant tusks, and the Savanaclaw logo.

With all the Savanaclaw students still spending the last minutes of Halloween at the Main Street party, the chirping of the cicadas in the Savanaclaw desert and the warm night air of Savanaclaw greeted Leona. Leona glanced back in the direction of the mirror portal as he rubbed the last drops of tears off his face, wondering if you were still wearing his robes.

・・・・・・・・・・・・

Back at Ramshackle, you stood behind the gates staring into the direction of the Hall of Mirrors, wondering if Leona was sleeping in his dorm room by now.

You hugged yourself in Leona’s robes as the jack-o-lanterns’ flames started to flicker, signaling the end of Halloween and the beginning of tomorrow’s new month, November.

“What’s got you standing there staring into space, Henchman?” Grim inquired, appearing before you in front of the gates with the Ramshackle ghosts. The cat demon groaned, clutching his furry stomach.

“Grim, what happened to you?” you enveloped Grim in your arms. Usually he would stubbornly protest at you treating him like a cat, but now Grim let himself rest in your arms like a newborn kitten.

“He ate too much food, that’s what,” one of the Ramshackle Ghosts, Ramsey, answered, shaking his transparent head.

“The Great Grim needed that meal after dealing with all of those Magicam Monsters!” Grim hissed before raising a dramatic paw to his forehead.

“What the ‘Great Grim’ needs is a shower,” you chided as you made your way up to the Ramshackle dorm with Grim in your arms and the ghosts floating behind you.

Grim sniffed the sleeves of Leona’s Ceremonial Robes, realizing that the robes had a scent distinct from yours. “Where’d ya get these robes, Henchman?”

You glanced down at Grim before opening the front door. “From Leona. He dropped by for a bit and he’s coming back tomorrow to pick it up.”

The cat demon decided not to press further as he caught a whiff of the tuna tartare you brought home from the party earlier and hopped down from your arms to scamper towards the kitchen.

As the ghosts flew after Grim to stop him, you stood back in the foyer and slipped out of Leona’s robes. The ebony floral brocade pattern on the robe’s fabric shone in the moonlight that peaked through the Ramshackle dorm’s thin glass windows, and the oak grandfather clock’s handles moved to one minute past midnight.

Even if Halloween was over, and the moments you shared with Leona just minutes ago were now memories of Halloween past, you looked forward to seeing him, Ramshackle’s new visitor, tomorrow.
