#finally managed to give my appreciation for Malleus

clown

In which Sebek in order to cope with his feelings towards certain human, decides to get you together with Silver

You were confused.

Silver was also confused.

Meanwhile Sebek was confused that his desperate attempts were shattered by the two of you.

However, Lilia wasn’t confused and he promptly organized a special-secret-meeting-without-Sebek (sadly, Malleus wasn’t invited, since he wasn’t even aware of the current situation). Oh, how you wished to be blissfully unaware of it as well.

,,Guys, I think Sebek is freaking insane”

You whispered, not wanting to make any unnecessary noise. Despite Lilia’s assurance that Sebek was currently out studying in the library, you didn’t want to take any chances given the topic of today’s meeting.

,,And you noticed it just now?”

Silver retorted nonchalantly, earning an eye roll from you. Meanwhile Lilia was pouring some tea for all of you with a small, yet playful smile on his lips, which told you that he knew exactly what was Sebek’s problem this time. The way amusement was visible in Diasomnia’s vice-house warden clearly showed that he knew the root cause of Zigvolt’s weird behavior recently.

,,I mean, he was always a clown, but nowadays? He’s the clowniest clown ever. Something changed, but I can’t pinpoint his intentions”

You calmly stated, playing with the hem of the tablecloth. Silver didn’t really look that worried or surprised; after all in his eyes Sebek has always been some sort of clown. It was quite alright to disregard this situation. However, you seemed a bit concerned. You furrowed your eyebrows, pondering for a moment.

It’s not like you and Sebek were close friends. Frankly, you weren’t even sure if you could call your bizarre relationship a friendship? Perhaps, you were just colleagues or acquaintances. You couldn’t tell, since Sebek was hard to analyze.

Your first meeting ended in you two loosing your tempers and screaming at each other over some trivial matter. Then, you both got paired for the class project, that resulted in more ungodly yelling and arguing. Sebek thought that after that catastrophe of the project, you two would part your ways never to speak again. Oh, how wrong was he. You and Silver got along splendidly, so you became a frequent guest in Diasomnia, which irked Sebek who was always picking up a fight with you.

Then he spotted you reading and appreciating his favorite book, then one time you managed to calm down the horses that were scared of him for no reason, then you were impressed at him when he lifted heavy things…

And suddenly and magically, Sebek tried not to yell in your presence.

Or at least, not to yell at you specifically.

Which made you concerned for his sanity. Perhaps, you were losing him.

,,Leave him be. It’s Sebek after all, there’s no point in analyzing his behavior”

Silver stated, yawning, clearly bored with the topic of the conversation. Yet, you weren’t one to give up. Your eyes flickered and landed on Lilia who looked as if he was having time of his live. He was clearly enjoying your distress over the whole situation.

,,He is acting weird, right? I’m not going insane?”

You asked, staring at Lilia. He could hear in the tone of your voice that you were getting impatient and you were anticipating the confirmation. He let out an amused chuckle, before finally giving you a response.

,,My, my, yes. Poor Sebek has something on his mind that it’s troubling him and he doesn’t know how to deal with it”

“It’s concerning Malleus, isn’t it?”

Silver snickered, not bothering to open his eyes. You were sure that in the span of next 10 minutes, he would be asleep and peacefully napping, ignoring Sebek-situation. You rolled your eyes once again, prodding the man sitting next to you.

,,If it concerned Malleus, I would invite him here. The matter concerns two of you, Y/N more precisely”

You almost choked on your tea and Silver opened his eyes in surprise. You two had never expected that perhaps you two were the cause behind Sebek’s antics. Lilia signed heavily.

,,My, you two are really oblivious. Sebek has been trying to get you two together and so far, he is failing splendidly”

Now Silver was wide awake and clearly in shock, while you were left speechless. Although, with this explanation a lot of things began to make sense.

Sebek's first failed attempt

,,Human.”

Sebek’s oddly calm and not-so-loud voice startled you. You jumped slightly in surprise, raising one eyebrow questioningly. It wasn’t normal. Usually you would hear Sebek from a kilometer before noticing his presence.

,,Hmm, what it is?”

You asked, smiling in his direction. If you paid more attention, you would notice the way his cheeks slightly blushed and how he avoided direct eye contact, given his embarrassment. Unfortunately, you were blind and oblivious, especially when it came to this loud guy.

,, What do you think of Silver?”

Now, you were totally caught off guard.

It wasn’t your Sebek, Sebek that you knew.

You furrowed your eyebrows, squinting your eyes, eyeing him suspiciously. Yet, he refused to even look at you. He appeared a tad bit nervous, hesitant even to ask such question. Normally, Sebek was loud, honest and well, quite confident in whatever the hell he was screaming about.

,,He is a dear friend of mine”

You stated, not expecting another question that followed right behind. Sebek clenched his fists, taking a deep breath before he spoke once again.

,,Do you think Lilia-sama would give you his hand in marriage?”

Needless to say, you choked on your water.

Sebek's second failed attempt

,,Where are you dragging me now, huh?”

You asked softly. You were way too tired to be dealing with Sebek’s antics today. Yet, this knight was relentless and he wasn’t the type to give up easily.

,,Y-you will see, Human!”

If you were more observant, you would notice how his voice slightly trembled and how nervous he looked. Sebek felt as if he was about to combust from his conflicted emotions. The grip on your wrist felt firm, yet not painful. You could feel that his hand was slightly trembling.

If you paid more attention to Sebek's flushed cheeks, you would figure out that this man was nervous from the sheer proximity to you.

Yet, you were blind and oblivious human.

Sebek dragged you through almost entire Diasomnia dorm, firmly holding your wrist. You had to almost run to keep up with his pace. he was leading you through dark and unknown hallways, various stairs till you reached the highest tower in the dormitory.

You were, once again, confused.

,,Why are we here?”

You asked him, raising one of your eyebrows. You didn't expect to end up in such place. Sebek seemed even more nervous. Now, his face was red and a scowl appeared on his lips. He didn't dare to look into your eyes and he felt like his heart would explode in any second.

,,You ask too many questions, Human! Talk!”

Sebek exclaimed before he pushed you into the room. You abruptly turned on your heel after gaining some balance, yet he slammed the door right in front of your face.

You did not appreciate such treatment.

,,Sebek! You bloody idiot! Open the goddamn door, you…you clown!”

You screamed in frustration and surprise. Suddenly, you could feel your blood pressure rising abruptly. You pulled on the door handle violently, yet it didn't budge. So you opted on slamming your fists on the door, while cursing Sebek in your mind.

,,Not until you two talk out some things”

You heard his nervous voice, before you heard him leaving in hurry. Great, and now he was leaving you here for god-knows-how-long. You wanted to scream in frustration, as you hated closed spaces. Yet, his words make you wonder.

,,Two, what do you mean?”

,,Y/N, stop screaming, my head is killing me”

You jumped startled by the sleepy and tired voice sounding right behind you.

You simply couldn’t believe that Sebek locked you here with Silver.

Sebek's third failed attempt

Sebek couldn't take it anymore.

He wanted to scream in pure frustrated. Everything was perfect and carefully planned before hand. He made sure to fake Silver's handwriting when he wrote the invitation for the date. He prepared romantic dinner with candlelight, tricked you both to come there (without stating that it was a date).

Even the stars were aligned, yet you and Silver were so dumb and oblivious.

He was hiding in the bushes, observing the situation. Needless to say, Sebek was this close to loosing his composure, coming out and just yelling at you both. He was truly hopeless, beyond the repair.

You and Silver stood there awkwardly, confused.

Sebek could faintly hear you two discussing the situation, not even realising it was a date set-up.

Sebek was devastated. His conflicted feelings made themselves present once again. He clenched his fists, sighing heavily. He had hoped he would get over his complicated feelings towards you.

Yet, it was all pointless.

He was not only a clown, but also a simp. A simp for you.

And Sebek hated himself for catching romantic feelings for you, a mere human. He was delusional thinking they would go away the moment he hooked you up with Silver.

He was a clown.

His feelings only grew stronger.

Sebek shook his head, focusing once again on your figure. Everything will be alright, once they get together with Silver; he told himself. He would repeat that sentence as many times as needed to gaslight himself. A playful yet mischievous whisper behind him, slightly startled him.

,,My, my, you poor, pitiful knight~~ Mayhaps, I could suggest you something, hmm?"

Souvenirs and Fireworks

Silver hummed as he sat on a couch in the main dorm-like room the Night Raven students were staying in while Malleus helped him put on the black and green pelerine that adorned his outfit. Rook had instructed Malleus how to put it on Silver and showed him how he also put it on his own. "Roi des Dragons you will have to know how to put one on since you will wear something similar during our trip and maybe even in the future. Thus Monsieur Sleepyhead can be the perfect model to help you."

That was what had led Silver and Malleus to where they were now Malleus helping Silver and Sebek sitting next to Silver a bit annoyed. The student aids had been rejected by Malleus when they offered to help Silver and Sebek had as well hence his annoyance. "An unimportant matter for you my liege" Sebek had said. Those words didn't discourage Malleus. Instead, it just made him more determined to help Silver, and when he was finally able to finish putting the pelerine on he let out a relieved sigh.

"You want me to help you put yours on Mallie?" Silver asked. Malleus smiled adoringly at Silver. "Let me get changed and only if you want to" he replied before ruffling the human hair. Silver giggled at the motion and stayed with Sebek before Malleus returned cape in hand. Even without the cape, Sebek started to declare how dashing and wonderful the outfit that Malleus wore was. Silver couldn't agree more with Sebek. "You look pretty Malleus." The compliment Silver gave made Malleus smile. He kneeled to Silver's height once he came over and hugged SIlver before letting him place Malleus' cape over his shoulders.

After a few moments of fiddling with the front of the cape and figuring out how it worked Silver successfully managed to correctly get the cape to stay. "There you go Malleus all done." Malleus stood up carefully and the cape stayed in place barely moving from where it was. Silver had managed to apply the cape and keep it in place.

"Thank you for your help Silver. I appreciate it." Silver smiled up at Malleus. "Of course. I'm going to be one of your future knights. I need to know how to help you." Malleus sighed but didn't protest against what Silver had said. Professor Trein entered the dorm to see how the students were doing. He got distracted while talking with Rollo. It was during that time that Malleus seemed to notice Sebek and Silver's outfits.

"You both are matching." Silver nodded excitedly. "Yeah! We'll look like we're knights when walking with you." Sebek gave a nod. "Hence why I give my praise to Fleur City again !" Malleus looked over Silver and Sebek before he formed an idea. "Let me get a picture of the both of you. It would be a shame if Lillia couldn't see the two of you matching and looking so regal." Yuu came over to help take a picture of the two of them while Malleus continued to smile at the pair.

Once everyone was dressed and ready to go they went outside and were assigned into groups. Silver was grouped with Ruggie, Idia, and Rook. "Bye Malleus I'll see you later," Silver said waving to Malleus before Rook took his hand and led the way with Idia and Ruggie close behind. The town was fun to explore but what Silver's eyes caught the most were the wooden dolls. Multiple stands had a small house and two wooden figures that accompanied them.

There was one stand though that had a man who seemed it be hunched over and a beautiful lady who appeared to be mid-dance. Silver had been given some money by Lilia. He chose to get the two wooden figures along with three wooden gargoyles. He would give Sebek and Malleus each a gargoyle while holding on to one himself. Even if two out of three of them were in the city Silver wasn't certain that they would come by the stalls or that Sebek would look past his pride enough to buy a wooden toy. It would be like a keepsake and they would all three have ones that were similar but still matched keeping them attached in some way.

Once the wooden figures were bought Silver turned his attention to Idia and Ruggie smiling when he saw Idia talking enthusiastically with Ruggie and smiled up at Rollo. "Thanks for helping Idia, Rollo. He seemed nervous and I think the dolls helped him perk up." Rollo gave Silver a small nod. "Well, that wasn't the point I was trying to make. But still…you're welcome Russia." Silver looked at Rollo confused. He was sure that Rollo had just called him Russia. He decided to ignore it though as his gaze fell upon shiny shards of what seemed to be glass hanging like a wind chime in one of the stands.

"What's that?" Silver asked pointing to the hanging glass and looking at Rollo. "That is a glass mobile. Usually, they are hung in the windows of houses and are usually not bought ready-made." Silver didn't lose too much of what Rook said his attention caught by how beautiful the sound of the windchimes were. "It seems like you've taken a liking to these wind chimes Silver. Perhaps you could pick one as a souvenir?" Silver thought for a moment before shaking his head no. "Papa would want something more exciting and fun." Idia seemed to have overheard what Silver had said.

"Oh, you're looking for your dad? Do you plan to ship it back home?" Silver didn't respond to what Idia had said. No one knew that Lilia was Silver's dad. They may know that he was older than he seemed but Silver being his child had somehow remained a secret. Rollo offered to show the group to a shop that wasn't part of the flea market that may have what Silver was looking for. It was confusing when Rollo seemed to buy a boring old handkerchief. It didn't look like much. When a loud banging noise went off though Silver was quick to tackle Ruggie, Idia, and Rook to the ground.

When nothing happened Silver peaked his head up and saw a smile on Rollo's face. "What was that?" Rollo tried to hide the smile he held behind his handkerchief. "That was a firework. A noisemaker within it is set off when someone blows on it or waves it around hard enough like I did. Usually, it is used to play pranks by children." Silver started to laugh at the handkerchief. "It is a really exciting thing. I bet my papa would love it." Rollo knelt down and handed the handkerchief to Silver. "Then you can give this one to him. There is also no need to repay me." Silver gently took the handkerchief.

"Thank you, Rollo. My Papa will be super happy about this." Rollo patted Silver's head. "Anything for you Russia." The name Rollo had called Silver earlier was repeated. Before Silver had a chance to ask though Idia seemed to come back with some kind of drink and commented about how alive again he felt. "How could you just leave your group to go get a drink?" Idia rolled his eyes. "My stamina is much less than yours and I needed to replenish my sugar and water before I kneeled over in the street."

Silver looked at Rook whose hand he had been holding. "Can we go get drinks too? I'm also thirsty." Rook gave a nod. "Of course we can. I was getting thirsty as well." Silver felt himself hoisted into Rook's arms before the blonde looked around and spotted three more people coming over to them. "Ah, it seems Professor Trein, Grim, and Yuu are coming to join us." Silver smiled and waved to the three excited for them to come over. "We're about to get juice. Come join us!"

Stop the World - 3: Please

Pairing: Malleus/Cater

Warnings/Features: Angst with a happy ending, (somewhat?) possessive Malleus Draconia, questionably suggestive at the end... but that's COMPLETELY up to the reader's interpretation :)

Summary: Cater and Malleus have found a comfortable rhythm to their lives in their last year at Night Raven College. But as the threat of change creeps closer, their fears about the future do too.

The Couple: Looking ahead, into the future

Notes: Finally, after over a month (oops!), this short fic has concluded! This was a good learning experience for me, and I had quite a bit of fun writing it. It ended up taking a slightly different direction than I had originally anticipated, but I like how it turned out here. :) I know that many of my lovely moots are more 'canon x reader' fic readers/writers, so I really appreciate your support on this 'canon x canon' piece!

Part 1 | Part 2 | AO3 Version (ft. all chapters)

After the sun dipped past the horizon, Cater glanced up towards his boyfriend. "What's running through your mind there? You look, like, super serious right now."

"Hm?" Malleus turned his gaze from the sky. "Nothing serious, I assure you.  You seem cold, we should head inside."

"Ehh, no, I'm a-okay rn!" Cater shook his head.  "But Mal, I've got to know. What were you thinking about?"

"I was contemplating our future."

"Ah."

Cater tore his line of sight away from Malleus' intense gaze, and the air seemed to grow still around them, even though the leaves in the trees were rustling audibly.

Cater then heard a quiet chuckle, before Malleus murmured into his ear, "You now appear deep in thought, Treasure.  Is there something troubling you?"

"Oh, I'm just... thinking."

"Well well, I'm not sure I knew you could do that."

Cater turned to face a small smirk. "Hey!" Cater laughed, with a gentle smack to Malleus' arm. "That was totes rude, Mal! I'm wounded!"

Cater's smile faltered, then dropped as he looked off into the distance again. "Malleus, what's going to... no, never mind."

Malleus gave his darling's hand a small squeeze. "Please, tell me."

Giving a gentle squeeze in return, Cater took a shaky breath. In as measured a voice as he could manage, he asked, "What's going to happen to us? Like, at the end of this year?"

Summoning up the courage to turn back to Malleus, Cater looked back into his eyes. "Listen, I don't want to get all sad or whatever here, but, I've been thinking... what if this was a mistake?"

Malleus's expression fell, a flash of darkness crossing his face. "Excuse me?" Does he think we shouldn't be together any more? Or at ALL?

"No, no, no. I mean... ugh, I'm terrible at this." Cater took a deep breath and ran his free hand down his face. "We've got our internships next year, right? And I thought, we probably won't go to the same place.  And I mean," he began to speak faster, "I'm used to moving by now, you know? Just going to a new place and leaving people behind and stuff.  It's become normal. But I just..." Cater paused, forcing himself to slow down, "I just feel like this time it's different... 'cause I'm with you. 'Cause I love you."

"What do you mean, Cater?"

He used my first name? "I mean," Cater swallowed thickly, "I don't want to leave.  I don't wanna leave you. "

Malleus placed his hand on Cater's cheek. "Do you think you must?"

"I...", Cater froze, then slightly leaned into the touch.  "I don't know. I don't want to. I just thought I'd need to, I guess, since we'd both be away from NRC next year."

"You're correct about that, I suppose," Malleus said softly. "But, what if... we could intern in the same place?" 

Cater's eyebrows rose in surprise, "Wait, pause there.  What?"

"I will go where you go. Or you can come with me. If it's alright with you, I want to find a way to remain together, because," Malleus drew his arms around his Treasure, Cater, before whispering, "I love you with my whole being, and I won't lose you. Not now."

Cater's breath caught in his throat. He'd come with me? He wants to stay with me? Nobody, in the dozen or more places he'd moved had ever wanted to stay with him; to follow him. This was new. This was... nice.

"Okay," Cater murmured into the dark fabric on Malleus' shoulder, before drawing back to look into his eyes. "I won't lose you either, Mal. We'll figure something out... together."

A soft breeze picked up a couple of fallen leaves in front of the couple, swirling them in a sort of gentle dance.

"Um, but first, Mal," Cater said, getting to his feet, "Let's go inside. I... actually am kinda cold." Cater held out his hand for his love (even though he knew he didn't need to).

Malleus smiled, taking his human's outstretched hand and standing up. "I thought you may be."

"Oh shush. You and your... what, intuition? Powers? I don't even know, babe. Anyways, do you want to come in for some tea? I think we have time before Riddle would call us out for it being too late," Cater said with a smile.

Malleus dipped his head. "As always, my dearest Cater."

Even if the school year was coming to an end, the love and support that Malleus and Cater found in each other would continue, however they chose to do so. For now, they would simply enjoy their time, their tea, and whatever else the evening had in store.

TWST Fanfic 'Her Ivory Crown': Chapter 2

Reminder for any/all AO3 writer/readers: you can read this and more on my page @ 'neoninky'

Shares, likes, and comments are always appreciated and welcome!

Ch. 2 - Open the Gates!

Riddle and the other dorm leaders agreed to meet the Headmaster on Main Street at exactly 12:00 on the dot. So naturally, the most eager or prompt of the bunch were there early. That included Riddle himself, Azul, Vil, and Kalim. Idia, in the form of a floating tablet, arrived right at 12. Leona had to be practically dragged there by Ruggie and arrived by 12:01 right as they saw some carriages approaching the front gates and poor Malleus was nowhere in sight, making the other boys wonder if anyone told him about time arrangement. Ruggie gave Leona an exasperated look as the lion managed to straighten himself up enough to be deemed presentable. The look was doubled when he was shooed away to go check on how the stages were coming together.

Crowley stepped forward as two white and gold carriages came to a halt at the school's gates that were now opened. He politely extended his hand to the elegant woman in powder blue that exited first, "Ladies, welcome to Night Raven College! We are honored by your presence!" he said with a flourish.

The godmother smiled gently to the headmaster and the dorm leaders lined up behind him, "Thank you for your kind words, Headmaster Crowley. We of Sacred Crown Hall are most pleased to make your acquaintance-"

The elegant headmistress continued to address them and their headmaster with a polished tone but it fell on deaf ears as the boys were distracted by the seven figures approaching behind her. The girls each wore a velvet cape in different colors, their faces and statures were each observed closely by the NRC dorm leaders as they removed their hoods and quietly chatted amongst themselves. Riddle did not recognize any of them until the final girl in white exited the carriage last with the help of her much taller, more fit senior in the indigo cape. He felt a jolt of electric nerves run through him as she came into view. There she was...Her Highness. Long platinum-blonde hair adorned with small white roses and porcelain doll-like features, it was clear that she was in fact a daughter of the White Queen's court. The photographs and the interviews Riddle had seen in the news did not do her beauty justice, he realized. He also realized that the darker-skinned girl standing next to the princess had caught him staring and was now giving him a mischievous look as she whispered something into the princess' ear. Riddle quickly straightened up and silently scolded himself for such inappropriate behavior, trying to ignore the quiet giggles coming from the girls across from them as the boys began to introduce themselves to their visitors.

"Of course, we have our own esteemed dorm leaders," the female dorm leaders quickly stood at attention as their Headmistress turned on them, "Girls, properly introduce yourselves if you please."

The first to step forward was a very tall, dark golden blonde in a royal blue cape with a beautiful face that held an imperious sapphire-blue gaze that made each of the boys feel a tad nervous. Not that they would show it, of course. 

"Adela de Beau," a slight french accent caressed her voice, "Third year, D'orcorenne Dorm Leader and Literature Club President."

Next, the raven-haired girl in a cerulean cape stepped forward with a bright smile, "Princess Elise Coralette. Third year, Cerulamare Dorm Leader and Wayfairing and Sailing Club President." Riddle noticed the intrigued look in Azul's eyes when Elise mentioned her title and sighed. No doubt the octopus already had done extensive research on each of the girls beforehand but she, in particular, sparked his capital loving interest. 

"Manari Ali!" the girl that had noticed Riddle before skipped forward in a plum-colored cape and waved, "Second year, Almascaber Dorm Leader and Dance Team Captain!" Her energy was infectious. Especially to Kalim who smiled just as big and waved back to her like an excited kid at a parade. 

The next girl stepped forward and playfully nudged Manari as she walked by. She walked with a tall posture even if she wasn't the tallest one there. Her deep brown eyes shined with confidence and even her green cape couldn't properly hide her slender yet athletic build, "Petra Revie. Second year, Gladoverti Dorm leader, Fencing Club President, and Magift Team Captain...oh yeah, and I'm a princess too." She didn't sound nearly as excited about that last detail nor did she bother trying to hide it. Though Petra was obviously the sporty kind of girl, her physique still paled in comparison to the next dorm leader who was clearly some sort of pro. The boys had a lot more trouble not showing their surprise when the very toned, amazon-esqe leader stepped forward with a friendly expression in her crystal blue eyes.

"Hello! I'm Hebe Musa. Third year, Kolossiviri Dorm Leader and Track&Field Team Leader."

Despite her friendly demeanor, the boys swear they heard some error alerts and nervous mumbling sporadically sound from Idia's tablet. The next girl was a stark comparison to Hebe; a petite little thing with bright green eyes and auburn hair worn in a wavy ponytail tied with a pastel yellow ribbon, nervously clutching the hem of her apple red cape. 

"Ch-Charlaine Regalis. Second year, Oscenellus Dorm Leader, and Music Club President, and PR Manager! Um, thankyouverymuch." She quickly turned and rejoined the line, pink in the face as she stared at her feet. The ivory princess gave her a soft smile as she gracefully stepped forward. 

"Princess Reine Castilene," she gave a polite curtsy to the boys and their headmaster, " Second year, Rosabyrine Dorm Leader, Botanical and High Tea Club President. A pleasure to meet you." Her soft voice was as flawless as her manners. Riddle instinctually bowed to her in return without hesitation and the other boys followed suit, some more awkwardly than others. After which the two school administrators quickly got down to business.

"Fine young men indeed," the Headmistress approved pleasantly, "I understand that you are finishing up the final details for the opening day tomorrow. I do hope we aren't troubling you with our early visit. Perhaps you could spare us some time for a tour around the grounds before we meet with Headmaster Ambrose and his students?"

Crowley was more than happy to show off to the leaders of Sacred Crown before those Royal Sword brats showed up to steal their attention away. Especially when there was potential for future collaborations, investments even, and more exposure from the media to be had...not that anyone had to know about that, ahem-hem. 

"Of course! No trouble at all! We at Night Raven College would be absolutely delighted to give you and your charming girls a first glance at our prestigious school's hallowed grounds! Our contributions to this festival are guaranteed to captivate you and your students' senses as well, I have no doubt!"

The boys were almost embarrassed at just how hard Crowley was trying. Well not all of them. Azul's professionally trained smile never faltered as he turned up the charm as well, "As Octavinelle's leader, I personally would like to invite our lovely guests to sample the fine dishes we'll be catering this week first hand at Monstro Lounge. We've already prepared the VIP room just for your visit."  

The girls cooed their interest amongst themselves which caused Kalim to pipe up as well, "Scarabia will be hosting a party after opening day tomorrow! I'm inviting each of you and the other girls in your dorms as well! There's will be music, dancing, and the most delicious food you'll ever taste!" Kalim beamed, not noticing the pointed look Azul shot into the back of the joyful Asim heir's head. Crowley silently huffed to himself as the competitive tension amongst the boys rose more and more. Honestly, the girls haven't even been there more than a few minutes and already these boys were getting all riled up. Typical Teenagers..."AHEM yes yes well no time to waste! Shall we?" Crowley offered the Headmistress his arm in a gentlemanly fashion, keeping up his game face to the max. Typical, indeed.

The girls followed behind the two headmasters alongside the boys, taking the opportunity to chat a bit while the fairy godmother was distracted by Crowley's ramblings. The curious eyes inspected each of the statues as they passed. Manari pointed out the Queen of Hearts to Reine, "Hey look, Reine, it's you in a few years!" she laughed along with Petra, "seriously though isn't she like your great great great great auntie or something?"

Reine paused to look into the Queen's proud face, "Indeed she is. Though I'm a direct descendent of the other side of the family, The White Queen. Or the Queen of Diamonds as she was called in the old days." She continued to walk with the group into the main campus as her fellow dorm leaders stole more precious time to talk freely.

"So given you're pretty deep into the family legacy," Manari gestured to the white roses in Reine's hair and her mostly white attire, "They probably expect you to follow in the White Queen's footsteps huh?"

It was true that the Rose Queendom had been a country divided for many generations between the two houses; Red and White, Hearts and Diamonds. In fact, Reine was not born into her role as heir to the throne, she had won it through demanding trials. The White Queen court was of course ecstatic as it meant another heir from Her Majesty would rule over their land and keep it out of the controlling, chaotic hands of the Red Queen court for another few years. Riddle knew somewhat of how the system worked within his home's vast royal family but not everything. He remembered the polarized responses the citizens had when Reine had been publically announced as their future queen. He and his own family admired the Queen of Hearts, of course, but who were they to speak ill of their princess? Especially now, seeing her in person, Riddle felt at ease just a bit more...though that didn't stop him from quietly eavesdropping on the princess' conversation. He knew it was wrong but he couldn't help but be curiously drawn in by Reine's gentle voice.

"It is tradition for past heirs to honor their Queen's legacies by continuing them in their own reign, yes...I, however, would like to honor both my grandmother and my aunt when I become queen. Hopefully then I, along with every future queen, can be something more than just 'The Red' or 'The White' queens. I wish to be The Rose Queen and unite the Rose Queendom permanently."

She spoke so serenely and yet her passion and conviction were undeniable to those around her. Manari and Petra stood on either side of the princess, making a show just how inspirational her words were.

"How glorious! Such beauty and grace! Our majestic Queen-to-be! Ah!"

"Such fierce determination! Such a noble heart! Your Highness, Your Brilliance!" 

The two girls playfully bowed before her, applauding with sarcastic glee, making her face flush with embarrassment. Adela shooed them and shushed the other giggling girls as they continued walking. Riddle's brain was on fire at this sickeningly casual behavior between the girls and the crown princess. He could not comprehend what he was seeing! But it was short-lived before an even greater panic spread through his mind. Reine had suddenly turned to him and spoke. Wh-what? Why is she looking at me? Wait what did she say?! "F-Forgive me, Your Highness. I didn't quite hear you."

"Riddle Rosehearts, was it?" 

"Yes, Your Highness." 

She smiled softly, "Your dorm fashions itself after The Queen of Hearts' old queendom, doesn't it? I have been looking forward to meeting you and your dormmates since I learned of Heartsabyul. I am unable to enjoy the best qualities of my aunt's legacy very often." Riddle felt a rush of pride but held his composure.

"You are very kind, Your Highness. Heartsabyul would be honored to entertain your company. In fact, I would like to invite you and your dorm to our gardens for a proper tea party during your visit. If...If it would please you, of course."

Riddle's legs nearly gave out as he saw Reine's deep violet eyes sparkle, "Oh yes. That would be wonderful. I'm sure the girls of Rosabyrine will be delighted." 

- 

The Headmistress seemed fully satisfied with the festival grounds...just not with the level of distraction that had quickly spread through her dorm leaders. She sighed as observed the girls excitedly flit about, either distracted by the various booths or by the boys in their company.

"You have a flying carpet?! That's amazing!" Manari and Kalim both beamed so brightly, a thousand suns couldn't touch them. 

"Oooh, and which one is this one??" Elise was very curious about the mushroom terrariums that Jade so proudly displayed at his club's booth area. Azul wasn't too far behind, scolding Floyd for his usual forwardness that was now aimed at the visiting princess. Hebe met a very friendly Ortho and was currently talking about her favorite VR training modules on one side of the avenue while Adela and Leona seemed to barely tolerate the presence of the other nearby. Even with her statuesque senior close by, poor Charlaine couldn't be shielded from Rook's onslaught of poetic praise of Charlaine's singing Magicame account, to which he had already been following for some time, naturally.

"Such a sweet voice! Your singing outshines the very song of the skylark, my dear! I am deeply humbled to be in the presence of such beauty at last!" each syllable practically sparkled off of the passionate hunter. Charlaine's face matched her cape as she mumbled out a flustered word of thanks. Vil found it amusing that someone so shy in person could sing with such grace and confidence online. Granted that did not make him hesitate to spare her by reeling Rook in.

Only Petra and Reine stayed in their original formation by the Headmasters along with Riddle. "Sorry. We don't really get off the island very much," Petra laughed lightly to Riddle who just sighed at his own schoolmates' behavior.  The madness was promptly interrupted by the tap of the Headmistress' wand on her hand to get the girls' attention.

"Now, now girls. Come. Our time here has ended and we must be on our way to meet with our brothers at Royal Sword Academy to finalize our schedules for the following days." The Headmistress ignored the audible moans of disappointment that came from this announcement as she herded the girls back together, "Headmaster Crowley, thank you for your generous time. We shall see you tomorrow for Opening Day." 

"A pleasure, Madam! I have some last minute affairs to attend to before tomorrow but my dorm leaders will see you safely to the gates, of course!"

Reine turned to Riddle to offer a smile as she fell into line beside him, "Your schoolmates are quite interesting. I look forward to the coming days, Riddle Rosehearts." 

He bowed, always the perfect gentlemen, "As do I, Your Highness. You may call me just Riddle though."

"I see. Alright, on one condition...call me Reine," she responded almost impishly. Her grin only grew at the shock on Riddle's face.

"O-oh yes...of course...Rei...Miss Reine." 

He inwardly smacked his own forehead at his stammering as she giggled sweetly. 

"That will do, for now, I suppose."

-

The boys saw the girls and their Headmistress safely back to the front gates but they instinctively tensed up when they saw a stranger wearing a Royal Sword uniform waiting for them there. He was a tall upperclassman with silvery blue hair and calm golden eyes that smiled as soon as the girls came into view. Riddle recognized the black diamond mark by his eye and immediately felt himself bristle a bit. While he didn't know this boy personally, his parents were famous enough to have paid the royal court visits a time or two when he was younger. He remembered the diamond-marked youth who the Queen favored and whose skill the other members of the court couldn't help but praise: Zehn Cavalier.

"Ah Mr. Cavalier, what a lovely surprise," the Headmistress mused as the third year took and kissed her hand with an almost arrogant level of charm. 

"Headmistress, ladies, always a pleasure to see your beautiful faces." 

Not only was he tall, handsome, and famous for his magical skills, but he was impeccably charming. The NRC dorm leaders were disgusted. Riddle fought back an obvious frown with great determination himself as Zehn approached Reine and kissing her hand as well. 

"Your Highness," he said almost reverently before turning to Riddle and the other boys, "Thank you for looking after our dear Sacred Crown sisters, gentlemen. I will escort them from here." 

And with that, their lively visitors said their goodbyes and departed the same way they came with Zehn in tow. Riddle exhaled for what felt like the first time all day and turned to leave for Heartslabyul. Hard as he might try, however, he couldn't get the sweet perfume of white roses to leave his senses.

Recently I asked @m34gs what she thinks the dorm leader's favourite junk food (no desserts like cake or pies) are and why. I didn't tell her what I thought because I didn't want to sway her opinion. However, she prompted me in her reply to answer with my picks, so here we go!

(Here is her ask, just in case you want to read her answers too!)

Dorm Leader's Favourite Junk Food

Riddle - Purdy's chocolates (hedgehogs)

I think he'd like Purdy's chocolates but specifically the hedgehogs. We know that as a child Riddle had a very strict diet but as you pointed out, Purdy's chocolates are a bit more expensive and upper end. I think his mother would have bought those to "impress guests". Thus, Riddle managed to have chocolates once in a while with guests over. Also, hedgehogs fit with Heartslaybul's aesthetic.

Leona - Pretzels

I'm talking about the ones that come in a bag and not breaded ones. Texture is a big thing in my mind for Leona and I think he'd enjoy the crunch and salt. They're also not very sweet and I think Leona doesn't have a sweet tooth.

Azul - Sour candies

I think one flavour that was completely new to him on land was sour. He'd enjoy trying all of them: from hard candies to soft ones. I also think Floyd likes them because he likes seeing people's reactions to sour, especially Riddle who I think dislikes sour candies. I also think Floyd discovered the other Sour Patch Kids flavours and fell in love.

Kalim - Potato chips

Yeah, I agree with you here. He love chips because he can share them with others! They also comes in a variety of flavours meaning everyone can have something they enjoy! It means more happiness for all and he's very into being a generous, kind host.

Vil - Salt water taffies

First, they have a vintage feel and I think that's something Vil appreciates. Next, they are light weight and easy to eat. They come in a variety of flavours and can range from slightly sweeter to more refreshing like peppermint. Finally, they're not overly sweet and are a fun mix of colours. Naturally, I don't think he likes eating them too much or between shoots as they can be a bit sticky on the teeth, but once in a while is fine.

Idia - Pop Rocks

They're essentially sugar and nothing else and I think that suits him. You also can pour them directly in your mouth and not have to worry about a lot of unwrapping/ clean up. Also, they have a bit of science added in and with Idia the technology one I think he'd appreciate it.

Malleus - Popcorn

This was difficult to pick because I 100% agree with your pick of salted caramel chocolates. However, I also think Malleus would love popcorn. I think he'd find how it's made fascinating and would give honest to goodness attempts to pop his own with his flames. (He burns it.) Popcorn also has duality where you can have it buttery and salty (my favourite way) or sweet like caramel popcorn to other fun flavours. That give options and I think he'd love that.

[twstgameplay]

The last unified exam was a while ago n a new one is upcoming on the horizon which means I'm here to ask the beloved mods help again~~ In advance this time! (or really late depending on how you look at it dlkjfks)

I was actually sOOO close to SS last exam ahhhhh ;; 89599, just a few points away aaaaaaa ;;;; I wasn't as diligent on that last exam for battling sadly but hoping I can finally break that barrier with this upcoming one!

I know test types are prolly gonna change again but maybe I can use any help you can give me for future team comps to try or general help or just things to keep in mind for next time, or whenever I come across those types of tests again (the regular tests/non unified exams ones) esp since we now have Magic 3 as well bc as always teambuilding is not my strongest djkfkd

These were from the prev exam, n my teams were something like this:

FIRE BASIC-16328

n another team of Beans Floyd, Dorm Jade, Camp Ruggie, Robe Vil, Dorm Leona support

SSRs still these- https://twstgameplay.tumblr.com/post/693573389429932032/unified-examssss-which-means-im-here-to-ask-the

with a few new additions! https://64.media.tumblr.com/9493a77b11994c6c3b587c72ec79657b/009cf42f15f18cb8-6f/s2048x3072/927b84ccff9122334efe05f6779301e2d683f7df.pnj

Dorm Rook spooked again to another limit break, so he's now at LV 90

Camp Trey, Bloom tweels are all LV 80

Dorm Jamil has not been leveled yet jldfks

managed to max out NY Kalim's M1

Beans Floyd is the only SSR with M3 unlocked n currently working on maxing it out right now

SRs still mostly the same as in the prev ask above-

-all perm SRs except Lab Jamil

-all event SRs except Beans Jack, GM Epel, DW Ortho, Silk Malleus, MC Trey/Kalim, Masquerade Jamil/Epel/Sebek, Beast Kalim (Kingly Garb? ??? idk how to refer the card, basically from the last event Tamashina Mina)

If it also helps, I do plan on getting Club Floyd. Still debating on whether to try n get Dorm Floyd on his pick up banner or if I should save those pulls for his club card instead

As always, thank you for any help you can provide n sorry bout it being a mess again! (tumblr removed links for anon asks, sorry bout there being more text dkjdfkfd) Always appreciate yall n this blog! Also, no rush in answering this, feel free to take your time!

Hi~

Damn, you were really close to SS last time! I totally feel you on that, my very first Unified Exam I ended up 800 points away from SS and on the last one it was 700 from SSS :))))

Congrats on the new cards and don’t worry about the text wall, at least it was organized! Fr, thanks for using colors and bullet points for the teams, it helps a LOT.

As you said, the elements are definitely going to change, but some of them should still be the same. So I’ll comment on your teams and suggest some for the other exam type.

Ngl, your first Fire Basic team confused me and I thought you wrote your Fire team against Flora instead. The first one has too much Fire, better stick to the second one, you could also use TsumTsum Riddle instead of Robe for more DMG depending on the levels.

I wasn’t gonna suggest a whole new team here, but I saw you got Broom Jade + Dorm Scarabia and couldn’t resist- So another team you can try is:

Dorm Kalim

Dorm Jamil (if you can level him up)

Broom Jade (DUO boosted by Kalim’s M1)

Lab/TsumTsum Riddle (higher ATK than Robe) or Union Riddle (possible 5th DUO, even if it’s Flora)

Support Dorm Azul (preferably maxed as your finisher DUO)

As for Fire Defense, you could still stick to the previous team we suggested in that other ask you linked, but if you got more SRs leveled up, you could also go for:

Dorm Deuce

Lab Ace

Lab Idia

Dorm Trey or Robe Ortho

Support Dorm Azul

Water Basic is great, but one thing you could try if you max your own Dorm Leona is aim for 4 DUOs with:

Dorm Leona

Camp Ruggie

Beans Floyd

Dorm Jack or Bday Riddle

Support Dorm Vil

As for Water Defense, maybe like this with 3 healers:

Dorm Trey

Beans Floyd (M1/M3)

Lab Cater

Union Epel

Support Dorm Trey

Or a Treyless option with only 2 heals, but way more buddies:

Beans Floyd (M1/M3)

TsumTsum Leona

NY Kalim

SM Jade

Support Dorm Vil

Your Flora Defense team is perfect and I’m so proud of you for using PE Floyd!

Alsklakss this hurts me to say, but since we’re trying to increase scores, something you can try is keep the Beans trio and replace the 2 other Floyds with Lab Kalim and a support SM Silver. That’s one less neutral hit, you still get a heal and Kalim has a 3T DMG down debuff.

As for Flora Basic, if your Rook is maxed:

Beans Floyd

Robe or Beans Vil

SM Lilia

Dorm Rook

Support Dorm Epel

If he isn’t, you can replace your own for Robe Epel and choose a maxed Dorm Rook from support instead (you lose a DUO though). Or you can also go for a Dorm Riddle finisher:

Union Azul

Dorm Ace

Robe Cater

Robe or Dorm Deuce (if you wanna add a 4th DUO)

Support Dorm Riddle

Cosmic Defense looks good to me, just replace the extra Floyd support with Dorm Cater if you can find one. As for Cosmic Basic, you can keep the team from the other ask or maybe:

Beans Floyd (finisher will probably be him as he’s Lv.110 fully maxed)

Union Epel

Dorm Rook

Dorm Leona

Support Dorm Vil

Your Omni Basic teams looks a little too Flora-heavy, but it isn’t bad with 5 DUOs available (you only get to use 4 though). I’d say to replace Jade or Ruggie since they both DUO with Floyd, you could try replacing both and use Broom Jade with Dorm Kalim to add more Water and remove one Flora.

As for Omni Defense:

Dorm Trey

Beans Floyd (M2 or M3 depending of if you need more Water or Fire)

Lab Ace

Beans Jade

Support Dorm Cater

And if you can’t find a Dorm Cater support, you could go for Dorm Azul and replace Lab Ace with Robe Idia.

This masquerade event has definitely blown away my expectations thus far like,I want more darker toned events or more scenarios that just pull a twist (ahah) on you

like damn I wish they went like this during endless Halloween

!!! Same same!

Glorious Masquerade is everything I wanted in an event. I love TWST's events in general. They're fun and lighthearted, and they have a touch of that Disney magic that you don't get to feel in many of their works anymore. But this event actually presents us danger. And it's threatening and it makes your heart pump and puts you on the edge of your seat as you learn more about the characters and hope to God that they succeed.

I wanted this for Endless Halloween. It presented us with a real danger, where the people you know and care for suddenly disappear in one night for mysterious reasons. I even had theories that maybe a TWST Chernabog would actually appear.

And yet it ended with a "surprise it was actually a prank". My disappointment was absolutely immeasurable. In hindsight, the music was a big big foreshadow to the prank due to its playful nature, but still, I wanted something thrilling. I wanted to see everyone sigh in relief as they defeated the big baddie, bring their friends home, and be greeted to a sunrise as they are thankful that everyone's alive and safe The only reason why I'm not going insane about it is because we got one mob talking about Azul stepping on people, which is very hot and sexy of him.

It didn't help that that ending presented Malleus in his omnipotence, so much so that he was the one in the "right" for pulling off such a prank (along with Lilia and the ghosts), and the boys were "wrong" for fighting the ghosts. Like 😭 I don't mind the prank itself, but I do mind the way that they presented Malleus and Lilia as innocent.

I think that's one of the main things I really like about Glorious Masquerade: that it presents Malleus as more than just an omnipotent figure who has everything under his control. It presents Malleus as someone more "human". He doesn't brag about his power. No, he is aware of it, he knows that it is a gift. And he even says it—that it's a gift that he chooses to share with the people he cares about. That has to be one of the kindest things anyone can say.

And there is that expectation to do a lot since he is powerful. But we see him needing help from Sebek and Silver when he was entangled in the flowers. He's told to conserve his power by Azul and Idia. And from that, we get to see Malleus being kind to his guards (him telling them that he trusts that he has good guards when they had to leave Sebek and Silver behind). We get to see Malleus giving praise where it is due (him praising Azul for getting rid of the flowers). And there are so many more moments that show Malleus as more than his omnipotence and power. We learn about Silver proudly presenting the magic handkerchief to Malleus. We see him being upset about receiving a false invitation when he had been excited about it. I've gotten to enjoy a lot of Malleus moments this event, but most importantly how he's become a bit more relatable.

I think I gone off topic from the ask completely HWAHAHHA but yeah, great event, everything is awesome. I am so happy.

[thesunshineriptide]

Reacting to you happy stimming aggressively

Characters: Jade, Leona, Jack, Trey, Riddle, Vil, Floyd, Silver, Malleus, Kalim, Idia, Ortho

Cw// stimming in both safe and potentially unsafe ways (including hitting) uuuuh because i am stimming hard, also potentially triggering initial reactions because a lot of the stims are,,,,not generally accepted? And it’s based off of me,,, anyway brief spoilers for chapter 5 for ortho

P.s. I wrote this when I was trying to calm down from stimming too hard

Jade - patting

- Jade wouldn’t say he’s confused about what you’re doing, more so as to why. What happened to elicit some a reaction?

- He watches carefully as pat your hands rhythmically against your thighs, occasionally losing your pace and switching it to something different

- “May I ask why you’re doing that?”

- He actually feels a bit nervous when you look at him like he’ll think you’re insane if you tell him, and is quick to soothe

- “If you don’t mind answering, that is. If it’s personal, I do apologize.”

- It takes a moment for you to explain that you’re just….happy. You’re enjoying his company and it’s filling you with energy that you have to get out

- He’s honored that you’re so excited, and gives a very sweet smile in return.

- “How very sweet of you. I’m glad you find my company so pleasing. I was quite enjoying your beat as well.”

Trey - chewing on non-food objects

- Trey is quick to try and take anything that isn’t food out of someone’s mouth. He’s an older brother, and no stranger to kids doing that

- He’s a little confused when you look at him with a hurt little frown and move to put your hoodie string back in your mouth.

- “Prefect, that’s not food. Are you hungry?”

- When you shake your head and finally release the wet hoodie string and sigh, he’s honestly unsure what to do.

- “You shouldn’t chew on that.”

- “Why not?” You retort. “I do it all the time.”

- “Does it…taste good?” He asks

- You shake your head, “It’s for the chew, not the taste. I just need to bite.”

- It takes him a little to understand what you mean, but after some research he decides to offer you some chewlery instead, because your hoodie is probably not a sanitary snack

Leona - Invisible trumpet

- Leona was just vibin nearby when he hears you roll up with your headphones on, wandering through the botanical gardens

- You aren’t humming, which he appreciates because it means he can take a nap, but he’s distracted when he sees you wiggling your fingers in a way that looks almost painful.

- It’s sharp, jagged movements that look a bit similar to someone playing a trumpet, but not nearly as close to the face.

- He spends some time quietly observing you until eventually he just gives up and goes to sleep

- He doesn’t see any issue with the behavior, nor does he find it weird or anything and genuinely just. Doesn’t ever bring it up. But if someone else says some shit? No they didn’t because he will not be letting someone make fun of his herbivore

Jack - shaking leg

- “can you please stop shaking your leg?”

- “Huh? Oh, yeah, sorry.” You say. You manage to stay still for five minutes, then absentmindedly begin to shake your leg again

- It’s distracting for Jack, but he can’t bring it in himself to do it

- Eventually, you seem to remember, and mumble another apology to him

- Jack just wants to get through class man, but your shoelaces are snapping against the deck just right and it’s annoying.

- He begins to realize you’re not doing it on purpose, and decides to help

- “Hey, I’m trying out these new laces for track meet, I got you a pair! We should try ‘em together.”

- The new laces are basically just rubber bands that keep your shoes closed. No more smacking against the desk for YOUR aglets!

- He’s eternally grateful that he no longer has to hear that AND you still get to stim

🐝🦇🦅🦆🪲🐌🐛🐞🦋🐍🐢🦎🐈‍⬛🐐🦌🦔🦦🦫🐉🐿🐀🦡🦨🦝

(I ran out of pictures 😭😭😭)

Silver - swaying back and forth

- Silver first learns of your swaying habit when you hugged him one time and he immediately fell asleep on your shoulder

- He learned of it again when he saw you standing around in the hallway, swaying from side to side as you chatted with Ace and Deuce.

- Silver, in honesty, had no issue with this. It’s just a quirk some e people do, it’s not a big deal.

- He soon finds, though, that swaying back and forth is actually really good for him though.

- He tends to snap awake whenever he’s pitched forward too far, so swaying keeps him alert

- Now, whenever you two talk, you’re both just swaying back and forth like a couple of praying mantises

Malleus - spinning

- “Child of man, what is it that you’re doing?” He asks in a gentle voice

- There’s no need to panic around him - he’s in a club entirely dedicated to gargoyles after all, dude’s clearly not neurotypical - so you answer with a smile

- “I’m spinning! It feels good, and I’m happy. You should try it.”

- Malleus gives a bemused smile before shrugging

- He begins to spin. You’re spinning nearby, but you stop for a second to smile at him joining you

- Now you’re both spinning and Malleus seems to be enjoying it

- You have accidentally turned another person onto your stim. Congrats!

- Sebek is losing his mind because sometimes Malleus just begins to spin in the Diasomnia lounge and it is very hard to protect a personified spinning top

Kalim - dancing

- Kalim doesn’t even question what you’re doing, he immediately just joins

- He’ll even turn on some music

- You two have a dance party even if that wasn’t your intention

- If he ever finds you randomly dancing without music, he will immediately join.

- Probably gaslit a couple people into thinking music was playing and they were just deaf

- You’re officially adopted by the pop music club

Idia - arm/hand flapping

- Idia has been doing this since forever

- First time he sees it was when you were talking in the library with someone

- He’s genuinely surprised anyone else would do it, and so publicly

- He might be inclined to invite you over to his dorm room to watch anime or whatever

- He would be comfortable enough to hand flap in front of you as well

- This man’s stims hard dude. His hair gets brighter as well and he makes some lil happy stim noises to go with it

- You also have a buddy to infodump shit to now because he will DEFINITELY do that to you

- You will know all about his wifus and his games be the end of the week. You’re officially his friend now

👾👾👾

Ortho - vocal stimming

- Ortho is a little confused at first, but after some searches in his database, he figures out that you’re fine, you’re just happy.

- If you vocal stim a song, he’s glad to play it for you so it alleviates some of the brain tension

- If it’s an animal noise (for instance, meowing, barking, mooing, etc) he will do it back to you. This can go on for hours because he genuinely just enjoys seeing you happy

- If it’s an incomprehensible noise, he won’t make it back, but he might record it for future reference so when he hears it he doesn’t think someone’s murdering you

- If it’s chirping, he will chirp back. I know this because I am ortho-

- (Spoilers for chapter five) when Idia gives him his vocaloid voice he is one hundred percent using it with you at some point

Riddle - wiggling

- Riddle is immediately anti-stimming because his mother forced him to stop doing it as a child (that’s why he’s so anxious and angry all the time)

- Someone else (*cough*Cater*cough*) has to intervene and tell him to not comment on it because he always manages to say the wrong thing

- Cater also has to explain to him that you’re just doing it because you’re happy! It’s not against the rules, anyway

- He has to fight against a lot of ingrained shit until he plucks up the courage to not only apologize for being rude, but ask you about it

- If you explain it to him, he just nods along with a blank face for a while

- It takes him roughly a week before he comes back and asks you to teach him how to stim

- After learning how he’s immediately so much nicer and more chill. His face rarely even goes red anymore.

Vil - rocking

- “Spudling, please, we’re in public.”

- One look at your crestfallen face and the immediate rigid body language makes him regret what he said so fast

- He spends a lot of time thinking about why he doesn’t want you to do that, only to find that it’s all appearances and those don’t matter as much as you

- If he finds you doing it again, he’ll begin to gently rock with you. He pretends nothing is amiss, and is relieved when you notice and brighten a bit

- He won’t ever directly apologize, but he will try to make his stupid comment up to you and then proceed to educate himself

- If someone takes video and posts it, he will fight every internet troll and make sure you never see any of it

Floyd - hitting

- Floyd also has a lot of aggressive stims, the most obvious ones being squeezing and biting

- You’ve literally watched him get too excited while holding a soda can and it just. Exploded in his grip

- He’s not surprised that you stim as well, but he is surprised it’s so…violent

- You don’t hit others most of the time, but the fact that you’re smacking yourself is a little concerning to him.

- Don’t worry, he’s got the cure!

- It’s squeezing. He just wraps himself around you and squeezes you

- It actually works (there’s actual psychological studies about this, applying pressure is a great way to alleviate the stim stress) so it ends up being a good symbiotic relationship! You don’t have to explain why your skin is all red and he gets to squeeze his shrimp!

[kimbap-r0ll]

hi , congrats on the 550+ followers! if i may, may I request prompt “my dream wouldn’t be complete without you in it” with malleus? i just thought it would fit him so well, since his fairytale is sleeping beauty lol. also, please feel free to ignore this ask if all the requests are too much for you!

Hello! I’m getting through my follower event stories really slowly because I’ve been so busy lately, so apologies for the delay! I feel like this prompt was the most popular during the event, it’s a good one after all!

550+ Follower event: “My dream wouldn’t be complete without you in it” Malleus x gn!reader

Malleus may be popular worldwide, but he felt as though he was the loneliest being alive. He was constantly uninvited to parties, meetings, and sometimes he had conflicts arise from out of nowhere that stopped him from visiting friends. He was rather lonely, even at school it seemed that the only people he was close to were the same people from Briar Valley. 

That was until he met you. A magic-less person that dropped into Twisted Wonderland from out of nowhere. 

You were living in Ramshackle for the time being, and he would watch your shadow from the curtained window, busy cleaning till the late night while he took strolls. He felt bad, but he was more curious about who you were. You seemed to be clumsy and fairly average when it came to academics. Yet, you managed to help students that overblotted return to themselves, more than once!

You called him “Tsunotaro” and he had no issue with it, rather he enjoyed the nickname. He had to come up with a cute one for you too. Sadly, he still seemed far from you. Not to mention you were probably planning on returning home soon, so it was better for him to not get attached. 

The two of you got closer however due to the frequent visiting he did to the Ramshackle area. You eventually found out his name, met his friends and got to know him better. You would greet him happily, usually with some kind of a present in your hands. One time you had given him some baked goods you had made with Trey, this time you had picked some flowers from the botanical garden to give him. 

It was a gesture of appreciation, nothing more. 

“Child of man, how kind of you, I do not receive such delicate gifts often, I will cherish this,” he smiles warmly at you, taking the flowers into his hands.

“I thought that you would want these since you said you wanted to make your dorm a bit “livelier,” and I know plants can help with that!” you replied, happy that he liked your gift. 

The two of you walked around the campus like you two had always done, but this time you asked if you could lead. He was always the one that had led the tours, but this time you wanted to, so he let you take the lead. 

You showed him your favorite areas of the school like a hidden corner in the library, the great dining hall (the two of you sneaked in for some food), and finally the observatory tower. The two of you had loved that place and it was always a stop you guys made when on walks. 

You sat down in the middle where there were some cushions, probably from the astrology class that day. You looked up and Malleus did the same. The stars were bright, some of the constellations were brighter than usual too.

“You know, I haven’t stopped to look at the sky in so long,” you said, breaking him out of his thoughts. 

“Hm, nor have I,” he nods, sitting down next to you. He felt you move closer, close enough to lean your head on his shoulder. 

“By the way, have you ever had a dream?” you ask him. He looks at you curiously.

“No, not really anything in particular,” he replies. 

I want to spend more time with you. I want to always be next to you.

“I’ve had a few dreams myself,” you laugh, hugging yourself a bit. “Like getting good at dancing, getting good grades, those kinds of stuff.”

You then face him, taking his hands in yours. Were you taking the lead?

“But, I think there’s one dream that I really wish came true,” you look down at his hands, then up to his emerald eyes. Great seven, his eyes are beautiful. 

“Well? A fae could help,” Malleus responded. He felt his heartbeat go faster, but he didn’t know why. 

“Well,” you sighed. “My dream, is to stay here, watch all of my friends graduate, and perhaps, at some point during these years,” you squeezed his hands a bit tighter. 

“I want to be with you, spend time with you and always be by your side.”

He knew you were up to something, but he wasn’t prepared for this. The hundreds of years of experience didn’t prepare him for a confession, and he felt his cheeks warm up, he was speechless.

“My dream wouldn’t be complete without you in it,” you confessed, your voice slightly wavering due to anxiety. 

There was a heavy silence. 

You thought that perhaps the fae prince thought you were a strange and perhaps delusional human, so you were about to tell him to forget about it and that you were joking but he placed a kiss on your lips. 

It was a soft, quick kiss. One that people wouldn’t guess would come from one of the most powerful magicians in this world. But here you were, getting a kiss from the fae prince himself.

“My, y/n, you truly surprise me everyday,” he laughed, watching you blushing now instead of him. “As for your dream, let’s make it come true together.”

[wolken-himmel]

In which Malleus can't help but think that (Y/n) is courting him with the way she gives him shiny stones as presents, loves to touch his horns, and is not afraid to fall asleep in his presence.

To determine if she really is courting him or not, Malleus has compiled all his arguments into a hilariously serious argumentative essay for a presentation to his retainers.

Request by @kagomekirigiri.

Malleus Draconia was sure that you were courting him: All the signs were there!

So why was it that he was breaking his head over this matter right now, his three retainers not being much of a help. In an empty classroom, the three students sat on chairs while their dorm leader stood in the front where the chalkboard was located.

Malleus held a small piece of white chalk in his slender fingers to add aspects that spoke for you attempting to court him. In his other hand was a stack of papers that were filled with neat bullet points and paragraphs detailing the arguments he was about to present to his audience.

"Thank you for coming to my presentation, today," Malleus exclaimed calmly, catching Lilia and Sebek's attention while Silver remained asleep. "I appreciate your willingness to aid me in my time of need. I would like to have your opinion on this four-page essay I wrote yesterday while my dearest treasure was asleep."

"Malleus, dear..." Lilia mumbled, furrowing his eyebrows. He would have laughed if it weren't for how serious the dragon fae actually was. Lilia and Sebek shot each other a confused glance, wondering what had gotten into their young master. The bat looked a little bit dumbfounded as he returned his attention to Malleus. "You made a whole presentation for the question if (Y/n) is trying to court you or not?"

"I mean... how else was I going to find out if (Y/n) is really courting me," Malleus explained in a matter-of-fact way. He didn't understand why his retainers furrowed their eyebrows at his demeanour. Shrugging helplessly, he merely flipped through the papers that made up his essay. "Humans are so strange to me; I never know what they intend to do."

Lilia's quirked up once he realised how utterly frustrated Malleus seemed to be because of this matter. Waving his hand encouragingly, he shouted, "Aw, no no, Malleus. Go on!" Then, he pulled his knees up to his chest and watched the dragon fae adoringly — like a proud father. "This is just too precious."

Sebek rolled his eyes as he crossed his arms. "I don't see anything precious about this," he murmured, rubbing his temples in annoyance of what he was about to sit through. "I could be training or reading right now instead of listening to a presentation about that human. Also, why is Silver allowed to sleep through the whole presentation—"

Lilia laughed as he extended a hand to ruffle Silver's hair, whose eyebrows merely scrunched up at the slightly disturbing gesture. "Don't worry, I'm sure he's still able to listen to Malleus," Lilia explained, eagerly nodding at Malleus for him to begin. "You'd be surprised at what the boy manages to catch in his sleep."

Malleus nodded with an excited smile on his face. "Great, now that this matter is settled." He took a deep breath and straightened his back to prepare himself for the presentation. "Can we begin?"

"Go go! I forgot to make popcorn, but I'm sure we'll survive without it," Lilia commented as he scratched his head in sheepishness.

Lilia's words caused Sebek to start panicking, and the knight turned to Malleus to look at him desperately. "Young master, start your presentation before Lilia can make popcorn, I beg you."

The corners of Malleus' lips tugged up into an amused smile. "Very good." Finally, he let his gaze sweep over the audience consisting of three Diasomnia students. "Thank you all for attending this meeting to help me solve my dilemma: Is (Y/n) (L/n), prefect of Ramshackle, trying to court me, Malleus Draconia? In the following presentation, I shall put forward all the aspects that speak in favour of my thesis."

Sebek quirked an eyebrow at that. "And what about the arguments that speak against it?" he asked, leaning forward in utter confusion.

Malleus coughed into his fist as he he remarked, "We won't talk about those here."

"But—?! Aren't those just as important?" Sebek yelled in disbelief as he shot up from his seat. His jaw hung low, and his eyes were ripped wide open in surprise at how his master wasn't thinking so rationally for once. "What's gotten into you—"

Malleus waved his hand to shush Sebek, and the knight complied even though he didn't want to. The dorm leader hummed in satisfaction as silence returned for him to cut through. "I have a handful of arguments in form of scenarios that support my thesis that (Y/n) (L/n) is very much trying to court me."

"I hate to say this—" Sebek murmured, covering his face with his hands, "but you're hopeless, young master."

Lilia merely laughed as he shot everyone an amused smile. "Ah, let him be! Let him be!" he chirped to Sebek. "Malleus is just in love."

Malleus didn't let himself be disturbed by the murmurs that broke out between Sebek and Lilia, and he instead continued in a professional tone, "I will try my best to retell the scenarios in the most detailed way I can." He demonstratively raised his essay into the air for his retainers to marvel at. "I think four pages should be enough to prove my point..."

"No, spare us the details, please," Sebek groaned whilst paling in dread.

Malleus shook his head stubbornly. "I'm afraid they're necessary in order for you to fully understand my dilemma," he announced, sending his protesting knight a teasing look that spoke of feigned pity. Sebek felt his cheeks reddened in embarrassment at his master's mocking, and he quickly sought to hide himself in his jacket. Malleus pointed to the papers in his hands and coughed into his fist to prepare himself for speaking. "My arguments are the following."

Argument 1

[(Y/n) (L/n) gifted me a gem.]

His first example had occurred during one of your nightly strolls together.

"Malleus! Look what I found here!" you yelled in utter excitement, your cheerful voice cutting through the silence of the night. Malleus, who had been busy watching the gargoyles in the courtyard, turned to your bent-over form. It never surprised him what you managed to find on your nightly strolls together, so he quickly joined your side.

"A... stone?" he questioned as his glowing eyes stared down at the object in your palms. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion; he definitely hadn't expected you to show him such a trivial little thing. But, the way your eyes lit up so adorably made him reconsider his thoughts.

You laughed as you held the stone out to him, urging him to take it. "Yes, but it looks heart-shaped!" Ah yes, with a second glance, he could make out the curious shape of the grey and cold stone. He raised it into the air and let the moon light hit the coarse material of the stone. When he lowered it once again, he was met with your shimmering eyes as you gushed, "Isn't it pretty?"

"I do see its charm." Malleus smiled as he extended a hand to push a stray hair behind your ear. You giggled as he did so, and it pained him to think that you were just friends. At that thought, his smile turned bitter, but it persisted and stayed. "It would prove to be a good trinket," he commented, holding it out to you to take it back.

Although you smiled up at him happily, you made no move to claim the stone once again. "Yes, you're right," you merely whispered as you nodded. "That's why you should keep it."

Malleus' eyes widened in surprise. "You're giving it to me?" he asked, his voice quivering slightly. You were giving him a present — did you know what this meant? The dragon fae narrowed his eyes at you, wondering if you knew you were in the process of courting him. That was the first time he had gotten the impression you were actually trying to court him.

You smiled up at him as you clasped your own hands over his opened palm and closed his fingers around the stone. "Yes, I don't want you to forget about me!" you said, laughing in an almost bitter way. A little bit saddened, you turned your eyes at the ground as Malleus desperately tried to search for your gaze. "You know... I'm a human and will die before you do. And besides, what if your princely duties won't allow you time to visit me?"

"Don't worry," Malleus said, squeezing your hands with his other. He felt a strange warmth in his stomach at your touch, and he wanted to feel more of it. Determined, he smiled down at you. "That won't happen."

Laughter spilt from your lips. "You're saying it like that, my dear friend." You shook your head like an old wise woman, yet you hadn't lived as long as Malleus. Sighing to banish those sad thoughts from your mind, you let go of Malleus' hands. "Keep the stone as a present. You never know what the world might throw at us."

Argument 2

[(Y/n) (L/n) touched my horns.]

His second example had occurred as Malleus and you were hanging out in Ramshackle dorm at night since it had been too cold outside for you.

Both of you were sipping on the hot chocolates you had made, and were just overall enjoying your time with comfortable silence. Just as Malleus was about to lose himself in your eyes, you suddenly piped up, "Malleus, you have something there on your horns."

"Really?" he asked, furrowing his eyebrows. He raised his free hand to run it across the serrated texture of his horns. Giggles escaped your lips at how the mighty fae looked so adorable when he couldn't find anything. Pouting, he eventually just gave up. "Do you mayhaps have a mirror around here, little treasure?"

You shook your head as you set down your mug on the coffee table of your living room. "No, I don't—" A little smile appeared on your lips as you announced, "But no mirror needed! Just bend down."

Malleus furrowed his eyebrows, but in the end, he did what you asked of him; he trusted you, after all. "Alright," he mumbled as he slouched forward, wondering what you would do.

What you did next caught him off-guard: You touched his horns. His pupils dilated and his jaw fell down in utter shock at your soft and almost airy touches. His heartbeat quickened, and his mouth suddenly turned dry at the sensation of your fingertips running across his horns.

This was the second instance that made him question whether you were courting him or not; touching his horns was quite an intimate act, and you were doing it so casually.

It seemed like Malleus was on another plane when you finally gazed down to see his eyes ripped wide open and his eyebrows furrowed strongly. Noticing how your friend seemed to he in utter distress, you stopped to ask, "Hey, are you alright?"

Malleus had a hard time regaining his composure, but he did eventually manage to suppress the pleasant shivers running down his spine to answer, "Yes, I was just surprised." He spoke in a hasty way, looking at you with beautifully glowing eyes. "Do go on... do go on..."

You hummed, glad that everything was alright. There were quite a few leaves that had managed to stick to the surface of his horns due to the rain acting as a weak glue. You made sure not to touch his horns more than needed since you were aware that the gesture was fairly intimate due to what Lilia had told you. "Here!" you exclaimed after you had finished plucking all the leaves from his horns. "You had a lot of leaves stuck to your horns."

Malleus hummed in utter delight as he watched you leave the living room to discard the leaves. "I thank you, dear treasure."

Argument 3

[(Y/n) (L/n) fell asleep in my presence.]

His third example had occurred whilst you two were doing homework in the library. You had chosen a quaint little corner that barely ever anyone passed by — perfect to spend some time together. You finished your homework quicker than Malleus since you had less to do, and now you were waiting for your friend to finish, too.

Alas, Malleus eventually jotted down the last sentence, thus completing his last alchemy assignment. Letting out a little huff, he turned to his right to announce, "(Y/n), my treasure? I have finished Professor Crewel's assignment, do you want to go gargoyle watching—" His eyes widened in surprise when he found you asleep, your arms sprawled across the table, and your head resting on the table with your cheek pressed against the surface. "Oh, you've fallen asleep."

His gaze softened as he gently prodded your shoulder, causing you to pry an eye open to look at who dared to disturb your slumber. He scooted closer to you, and you immediately took the opportunity to latch onto his arm like he was the most comfortable pillow ever.

"Hm..." you mumbled as you snuggled into his upper arm, exhaling in bliss. "Don't move, Mal..."

Malleus was caught off-guard at how close you were — but what startled him more was that you had fallen asleep... in his presence. Did you truly not fear him? Did you trust him enough to let your guard down around him? Now he was almost entirely convinced that you were courting him.

The happiness he felt would have made him jump in utter joy if it weren't for you clinging to him like he was your teddy bear. Clicking his tongue in amusement, he reached his other free hand out to run it through your hair. "You should know better than to fall asleep in my presence," he drawled as he pressed a kiss to your scalp, taking in the scent of your hair. "Do you not fear me?"

"Safe... with you..." you muttered quietly, smiling.

"I'm speechless," was all Malleus managed to say. A smile snuck its way to his lips as he twirled a strand of your hair between his fingers. "You truly think so, my treasure?"

"Hm..." you managed to press out before you succumbed to a peaceful slumber without any nightmares since your dragon was there to protect you from them.

Malleus finished his presentation with the following statement, "These arguments are the reasons why I — Malleus Draconia — believe that indeed, (Y/n) (L/n) is courting me."

Lilia immediately jumped up from his chair to clap and yell, "Bravo! Bravo!" Malleus bowed with a big smile on his face, thanking the audience for their time and attention.

A permanent scowl had etched itself onto Sebek's face. "I hate it here."

Lilia's clapping caused Silver to finally awake from his nap. He pried his eyes open despite how heavy his eye lids felt to see what was going on. "Wait, did the presentation begin already?" he asked, his voice hoarse, as he rubbed his eyes in exhaustion. Sebek shot him a dirty look, wishing he could have slept through the whole presentation, as well.

Malleus merely laughed as he exclaimed once again, "I thank you for listening to my problems." He lowered his essay onto the teacher's desk before sending his retainers an expectant look. "So, what say you?"

"She's courting you!" Lilia yelled without hesitation.

"She's not courting you," Sebek replied, his voice monotonous and bored since he still struggled with finding his will to live after having lost it since the beginning of the presentation.

Silver shrugged, asking, "Why don't you just ask her—"

That immediately got everyone else's head to snap towards the unexpectant knight. "Silver! That's unheard of!" Malleus exclaimed, gasping in utter shock. His slender fingers clasped over his mouth, and he exhaled dramatically. "You don't just ask someone if they're courting you. It's... strange."

Silver rolled his eyes, wondering why they wouldn't simply communicate. But oh well, it wasn't him that would be stuck in embarrassing situations. "You guys are strange," he mumbled under his breath before he straightened his back to look at Malleus. "Nevermind, if you're so sure about it, then go and tell her you're accepting her courting efforts."

"Amazing advice, Silver!" Malleus chirped, completely ignoring Sebek's protests. Grabbing the essay he had worked so hard on, the dragon fae then strolled out of the room with a certain bounce to his regal step. "I'll be on my way then."

Sebek slammed his head onto his desk. "He's hopeless..."

"Shh, Sebek. This is adorable!" Lilia cooed as he squealed in utter excitement. "Oh my, I can't wait for my grandchildren..."

[twistedmusings]

Second Year Without You

A/N: HAHA I LOVE PAIN. I wrote almost all of this on my phone so I apologize for any spelling mistakes but with the twst 1 year anniversary my hands just called out to me to create nothing but pain u wu. So let me guys know what you think and...Happy 1 year anniversary~!

How the first years react to you suddenly disappearing before their second year starts.

“This is taking forever.”

Grim yawned as he made himself comfortable in your lap, your hand running through his fur as you struggled to stay awake. It was sort of impossible since the church building was still so eerily quiet as each new student’s dorm decisions were made.

Which made you wonder why you were even here.

Ramshackle wasn’t necessarily an official dorm so this weird sorting ceremony didn’t even mean anything to you. This was two hours of your life you weren’t going to get back apparently since Crowley decided that your presence was oh so important and now you were shifting uncomfortably in your seat as the last student stood in front of the mirror so their dorm could be decided.

“Oh. Malleus you might have a chance with this one.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean he came in rather gallantly and looks like the type to be good with magic so he would be perfect for Diasmonia.”

The Diasmonia dorm leader chuckles into his hand.

“Is that your final bet?”

“...yeah that’s my final one.” you tilt your head backwards as you look at Azul, “What did you put down?”

“Clearly Pomefiore, Prefect. You haven’t guessed right with any of the other student’s dorm matches so I am purposefully avoiding your suggestions.”

He meets your glare with a smile, jotting down a couple of notes as he turns to Kalim to ask him of his decision. The seven dorm leaders had followed along with the little game you began to play around the thirty minute mark of the ceremony, turning it into a betting pool the moment Azul got serious.

The room goes quiet as the face in the mirror finally chooses to appear.

"Your soul...it belongs in Pomefiore!"

Your groan is hidden by polite clapping, Malleus patting your head as you choose to hang it in shame. This felt just like failing one of Crewel's quizzes but now you were 600 madol poorer.

"Prefect that was a major loss...I might have to stop talking to you if this affects my gacha pulls."

The tablet hovers beside you, clearly mocking your incredible loss before you bat it away and turn to look at Crowley.

"And with that, my dear students, the ceremony is concluded. Please follow your vice dorm leaders to your designated dorms...and welcome to Night Raven College!"

You stand up, put Grim down and stretch, waving goodbye to the other dorm leaders as you wonder just what in the world you were going to have for dinner tonight. You knew Azul was going to open Monstro Lounge in celebration so maybe you should go--

"Oi! Prefect!"

Well that was quick.

Ace smiles as he approaches the pew first, talking to you about how boring the ceremony was and what you were planning to do afterwards. Deuce comes up behind him followed by Epel while Jack and Sebek talk with their dorm leaders for a few moments before heading to where you were standing.

“We got some news, by the way~” Ace smiles as he throws up some jazz hands towards Sebek, “May I present to you the soon to be vice dorm leader of Diasmonia~!”

Sebek tries to frown but there is a clear smile on his face as he takes off his hood, beaming with pride as you shake his hand. You would have gone with high-five but you figured he would like this better.

“Did Malleus break the news to you?”

“He did!” the fae’s voice breaks through the hushed silence, “Young Master approached me ever so elegantly and let me know of my role for next year! The mere act was so moving and inspiring!”

“I also got some news!” Epel grins as he gets butts in front of Sebek, “The Magic Shift club captain told me that I’m in the running for first string! If I win one more game I’ll be able to play with them officially!”

You go to congratulate Epel but stop when Ace also butts in front of him, “Better news! I’ve been made vice-captain of the basketball team! Jamil was going to give the title to Floyd but then he decided better against it.”

“So you were the second choice.” Jack says as he pulls his hood down.

“And the best one! Jamil knew the choice he was going to make all along, he was just messing with me.” Ace grins as he turns towards you, “Impressive, huh?”

You hum before laughing, “I would say it was impressive if it wasn’t for the fact that I know for a fact Floyd would do a worse job at any leadership position than you.”

“Oi!”

The group laughs before Epel tugs on Deuce’s robe and pushes him so that he is in front of you next.

“And Prefect, may I present the new captain of the Track and Field club!”

Deuce’s face goes a light shade of pink as Epel tugs on his cheek, “He said he wanted to tell his mom first before telling us but I figured since we are all talking about achievements…”

“Because it was not set in stone!” the Heartslabyul student takes Epel’s hand and pulls it away from his hand, “Jack still has a good chance to get it instead of me.”

“Mm. I would rather it go to you, Deuce.” Jack smiles as he pats his shoulder, “I see how hard you work during practices so I think the position would be perfect for you.”

“Oh right. Leona told me.” you smile at Jack, “Am I right in assuming we are talking to the vice dorm leader of Savannaclaw?”

“I--!” wolf ears twitch as Jack blushes, looking at you in disbelief before sighing as the others stare at him in expectation, “...Yes. Ruggie-senpai told me before the ceremony.”

Everybody gives him a round of applause as his blush deepens in color, making you laugh as you lean over to pat his shoulder. To think they were all now second years…

You included.

I’m supposed to be finding a way home…

The thought is catapulted from your head as Grim sets himself down on top of it, smiling as he topples forward so you would catch him in your arms.

“Fgnya~! The Great Grim and his henchman have news too!”

A paw is pointed at you, your cue to speak apparently.

“...Ramshackle is getting some big renovations soon! We managed to talk Crowley into it and he agreed to renovate both the kitchen and the bathroom as well as possibly renovating some of the rooms!”

“What!” Ace laughs, “How did you pull that off!?”

“Hehe~” Grim taps his chest twice, “I told the Headmaster that Ramshackle can serve as a place for guests from other schools to stay over! He gets a place to brag about with potential guests and we get brand new things!”

Epel hums, “So it’s like a hotel.”

Both you and Grim stay quiet and look away, the group laughing knowing Epel had hit right on the mark.

You stay quiet as they talk with one another, smiling fondly at seeing your group of friends happily enjoying their life here in Night Raven College. You didn't even know how it happened but this little group had become like your family in the one year you stayed here. The homesickness you felt whenever you realized you were far from your home was always subdued by hanging out with them and taking part in their shenanigans. To you it was crazy to think about it this way but...you loved them.

Ace’s tricks but also his quiet support of you and the rest of the group.

Deuce’s tenacity but also the gentle side he let only his friends see.

Jack’s work ethic along with his more nurturing side.

Epel’s constant growth as a person yet never forgetting where he came from.

Sebek’s devotion towards his Young Master as well as realizing his own strength.

And Grim’s goal of wanting to be the greatest magician ever but never leaving you behind.

You loved these six dorks so much, more than you would care to admit to yourself.

Finding a way home was no longer such a big priority in your eyes. You used to ask the Headmaster constantly for a way back home but you believed that this place had become more of a home in your eyes. So the constant reminder that you weren’t from here was silenced by just how much these six made you feel like you were part of a big family.

“...I’m starving.” you finally speak up as you let go of Grim, “You guys want to drop by the Monstro Lounge?”

“Can we drop by Pomefiore first? I forgot my wallet.”

“Prefect! We should invite the Young Master too!”

“If we are going to do that then let’s invite Leona-senpai as well. I have a feeling he will complain if Malleus-senpai is the only one in the celebration.”

“Do you think we should invite Riddle after the first year’s celebration, Ace?”

Deuce turns to look at his fellow student, blinking when he has to turn all the way around.

“Ace?”

All heads turn to look at the other second year, cherry red eyes shining as he points at the mirror still floating in the center of the room.

“You know. Since the mirror is still here…” Ace smiles as he walks over to you and takes your hand, “Don’t you think we should try your sorting again?”

“Huh?”

Your sorting?

That’s right. The mirror had said that your soul didn’t really belong anywhere when you first came here.

“I honestly don’t think it’s going to be any different, Ace.” you shrug, “Besides I sort of already belong in a dorm--”

Grim comes up behind you, “Exactly! They belong in the dorm we made!”

“Oh come on! Wouldn’t it be fun!” Ace looks back at the group, “It’s just us here. Don’t you guys want to see what dorm Prefect would have been sorted in?”

Jack hums before looking at you, “I believe you would make a fine Savannaclaw student.”

“Well they also helped out with Pomefiore, I think that would be a good fit for them too.” Epel sighs, “If they were there I wouldn’t feel like a green apple in a red apple orchard.”

Sebek taps his chin a few moments before nodding, “Despite having no magical talent, your presence in Diasmonia would be greatly appreciated.”

“Okay okay you doofuses, I think we all know what dorm they would be sorted in.” Ace wraps an arm around you as he gestures Deuce over, “So say hello to the Heartslabyul Trio~”

“Ace! Stop trying to get my henchman somewhere else! They belong in Ramshackle!”

Grim tugs on your hood while you quickly ask him to stop, your arms flailing around before you pull your hood down and find yourself face to face with the mirror.

“Ace I don’t think--” you turn to look at him but the other just puts his hand together as if he were praying.

“Just one look, Prefect! Please!” Ace smiles as he looks over at Deuce, “We are all curious, right?”

Deuce’s nervous expression relaxes as he sees that there really was nobody else around.

“It wouldn’t hurt to know. It’d be just us.”

“I agree! I am way too curious to not know now!”

“Your true nature is showing, Epel.”

“Don’t pretend like you’re not curious, Jack!”

“Quiet humans! The face in the mirror is deciding!”

You quickly turn around as you see the face in the mirror, a knot in your chest suddenly forming as the chamber falls into silence. What a feeling of dejavu. You remember just how you felt when you were standing in front of the mirror the first time.

No idea where you were, no idea what was to come.

And the feeling of being an outcast had been unbearable when the mirror stated that you belonged nowhere...but you had carved out a little place here to call your own. Despite the fact that you knew where you were going to sleep tonight and where you were going to wake up in the morning, the knot of nervousness relaxed and turned into a curious dizziness, the silence only serving to make the noise in your ears ring.

The mirror only stared at you for a minute longer before speaking up.

“It seems your time is up.”

You blink as the face disappears, turning towards the others as they all share the same look of confusion before sighing as they turn around and start walking towards the exit.

“Well that was anticlimactic.” Ace pouts, “Thought for sure they belonged in Heartslabyul.”

Deuce sighs, “Monstro Lounge for sure must be full now. How will we get a table?”

“We can celebrate in Diasmonia instead! I know that the dorm is going to be full of fae cuisine!”

“...I...prefer taking my chances at the Monstro Lounge.” Epel smiles as he look at Jack, “Or maybe Savannaclaw?”

“It would be rowdy but if you don’t mind that sort of atmosphere.”

“Savannaclaw usually has some good roasted beef! Do you know if they have that there today?” Grim places himself on Jack’s head as the other keeps talking about their celebration.

“Alright. We’ll check Monstro Lounge and then Savannaclaw! Oi, Prefect, get a move--”

Ace’s eyes widen as he turns around, dread climbing up his legs and curling around his neck as he looks at the small orbs of lights floating away in the place where you were supposed to be.

Only to find that you weren’t there anymore.

--What...the hell?

--He looks around, wondering where you went and calling out your name. It starts out with a couple of laughs at first but the dread in his stomach grows as well as the volume of his voice.

"Oi! This isn't funny! Come out already!"

--Deuce is calling out to him but he can't listen to him, all he can remember is the mirror's voice saying that time was up?

--Time? As in your time in Twisted Wonderland? But...you said that the Headmaster hadn't found a way to get you back home. He didn't want to disappoint you but after a whole year with them...he didn't believe that you would go back. Which was alright! Ace was more than ready to make this a home for you! He didn't know how he was going to do it, but goddammit he at least wanted to try!

--He wasn't done with you yet! He hadn't shown you the cool trick shot he learned to shoot with Floyd, or the awesome new magic trick he designed with you in mind! You would always look past his tricks so he wasn't able to fool you but he thought that this one would be worthy of your praise!

--Eyes glare at the mirror as he lets his feelings spill out.

"BRING THEM BACK! THEY AREN'T DONE HERE! THEY BELONG HERE! BRING THEM BACK!"

--Jack is holding him back from lashing at the object and after a few moments of thrashing around, all Ace can do is stare at the spot you were at a moment ago with his eyes stinging from tears that still refused to fall.

--He didn't even get to say goodbye.

--At first all he can do is stare. Where had you gone? Were you playing some sort of prank on them? If you were...this really wasn’t funny at all. You two had promised to go running together in the morning with Jack, you needed to get back to Ramshackle to sleep so it was best if you celebrated early and then went to bed--

“Deuce. Go get the Headmaster."

--He doesn't remember much after that. All he remembers is Ace yelling and Jack holding him back before he was rushing out of the building and towards the Headmasters office.

--You couldn't be gone. Where did you even go? A part of him doesn't even want to say that you had gone back. There was nowhere you had to go back to in his head. Twisted Wonderland was your home and you belonged here just like the rest of them.

--Memories of his time with you make his feet move faster, the robes proving a great weight but not at all stopping him from reaching his goal.

--Everything would be fine. They would find a way to get you back and Deuce wouldn't allow himself to let you do something so irresponsible again. He should have stopped Ace when he could! And once you came back then he could give you a proper send off.

--His feet were sore, his lungs were burning but he wouldn’t dare stop running, finally reaching the Headmasters office as he pulled the door open with all his might.

--He just wanted to get you back so he could properly thank you. You were his buddy...and he didn't want to let you go without you knowing that.

--It's hard holding back against his instincts.

--His body's first response is to also grab at the mirror and find out where you had gone. The idea of you disappearing just like that was impossible, especially after all the trouble the Headmaster had in finding a portal to your world. So, to him, you were immediately in danger.

--He clenched his fists hard as he walked Ace towards one of the pews, letting him sit down as Epel and Sebek approached him. They were asking questions and clearly depending on him for some sort of guidance. Which wasn’t completely out of the norm, he was an older brother and had grown to care for his friends just as he would his siblings. One year did a lot to bring people closer together. But what could he do but remain quiet as Epel and Sebek asked questions he could not answer.

--Jack had no idea where you had gone, no idea if you were going to come back and as the questions kept piling up the dread in his heart began to grow. Would you even come back?He knew how important family was and how terrible it was to be separated from them, but what about the people you left behind here? Your disappearance was already making them--no--him feel so powerless that he could only answer the other first year’s questions with a simple phrase.

“I don’t know.”

--He instinctively bared his teeth as the doors slammed opened, keeping Epel and Sebek behind him as the Headmaster entered the building with a frown, asking for a run down of the situation in full detail as possible. And while Jack would have taken charge of the situation in this scenario, just simply looking at the mirror kept him from articulating his thoughts correctly.

--Jack just wanted to know you were safe.

“We were left in the building all alone and we thought that [Y/N]-san should try to sort themselves again, just to see what would happen. Yet the mirror didn’t say anything and now they are...they are not--”

--Hold it back. Hold the tears back. Epel had gone through a lot in his time in both NRC and Pomefiore. He had been pushed out of his comfort zone through the VDC and just living in a dorm that was so unlike him but he had pushed through and adapted relatively well, with your help and the help of his friends. So now was not the time to cry!

--You had once praised him for his mental strength, saying that it took a lot of training for him to be put through Vil’s daily demands and training as well as keeping up with the Magishift club and his studies above all of that. With that little comment, and the support of his newfound friends, Epel’s mind had shifted into focusing on how strong he was mentally instead of physically.

--Something he needed to be now more than ever.

“They disappeared.”

“Headmaster, how are we going to bring them back?”

“Well...this was the way it was supposed to be from the start. As much as it pains me to say, it seems the Prefect finally found their way back home.”

“NO!”

--He puts a hand over his mouth, surprised by his own outburst. When he was still a beginning first year there were moments in which he had to keep himself in check from speaking like he would back home. As the year went on he had managed to keep himself in check and only let his accent and his voice volume slip when he was with his friends and with you.

--The Headmaster simply continued talking about the possibilities as Epel hung his head, biting his bottom lip as he remembered the last conversation you both had. With vacations upon them soon, Epel had invited you to come over and visit the Village of Harvest. First time he had a friend over there so he was all set to show you the sights of his little town and it would be your first official trip to another land in Twisted Wonderland!

--A hand touched his shoulder, Epel turning around as he saw Deuce looking down at him with tears in his eyes. That was the last straw as his own tears started to flow freely, Epel burying his face in the other’s robes so no one would have to see just how weak he looked.

“Sebek.”

--The fae’s back straightened out, the voice of his Young Master ringing out as he turned around to look at him. Several students were peeking through the door, trying to get a peek at what was happening while others worked to get the message around, yet Malleus was the only one brave enough to step through the threshold of the building and approach him.

--The Ramshackle prefect had disappeared.

--Sebek had a strange relationship with you. While he detested the way you treated the Young Master as nothing more than just another person, he had slowly started to come around to your way of thinking. The Young Master wanted a friend, and Sebek had only been keeping him at a distance due to his admiration.

--You taught him how to talk to his Young Master and how to appreciate a friendship with him instead of just blinding devotion.While he would still follow Malleus to the end of the earth, he did so as Malleu’s friend and not as his guard. In turn, he slowly started to feel like he would the same for you, as well.

--He was still very naive to relationships such as these but you had been patient, listening to him talk about Malleus when he wanted while also asking him of his other interests. Your teaching method had been effective and Sebek would have even dared to say that you were perhaps coming close to being his best friend.

--Although that chance had disappeared along with you.

--So the only thing he could do is stare into his Young Master’s eyes, the eyes of someone who was just as confused and as worried as he, and do his best to tell him what had happened and what the Headmaster had said.

--He knew that it was for the best that you had gone back home, but why did it feel so wrong?

Congrats on 100 followers (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧ you deserve it!!

How about some reactions for Injured Azul, Leona, Malleus, Riddle, Jade and Idia where their fem s!o carries them bridal style? Who's let them and who'd be embarrassed?

Hello!! Thank you so much!!! 🥰 I hope you enjoy these!!! 

Pairings: Azul x Reader, Leona x Reader, Malleus x Reader, Riddle x Reader, Jade x Reader, Idia x Reader

I made these SFW !!! I love fluff!!!!

Important notice: if you like my work, thank you! Keep in mind before you follow me: I post both SFW and (mostly) NSFW, so yeah! Just a fair warning lol

More under the cut for length!

Azul x Fem! Reader

Azul would have just gotten injured in flying classes. Who can blame him? It’s one thing to walk on land as an octomer who usually has 8 legs, now you expect him to fly?!

After he was groaning in pain, you promptly ran by his side, asking if he was okay. The lavender haired boy would verbally tell you yes, but you knew that by the way his body fell, he definitely wasn’t. This prompted you to lift him up into your arms as you started walking towards the infirmary. 

He shrieks and tells you how embarrassing it is! “Y/N, put me down this instant! This definitely ruins my reputation as a business owner, does it not? What if my future clients see me in such a vulnerable state!?”

You tell him to shut it, if he was leaning on you all the way to the infirmary it would have taken 5 times as long to get there.

Azul secretly blushes and leans into your shoulder. He lowkey loves the attention you give to him and being taken cared of.

Leona x Fem! Reader

Definitely would have gotten injured practicing Magical Shift, getting hit in the back of the shin or something causing him to fall flat on his back roughly. You were on the bleachers simply watching until Jack told you what had happened. You both ran over and Jack offered to escort him to the infirmary, to which Leona growled at him.

Leona didn’t make any noises of protest when you approached him, only winced when the pain shot through his body again.

Ruggie also wasn’t allowed near him and he shot you a look of ‘Please help’. 

You opted to carry him in your arms bridal style. “Oi, herbivore, what the hell do you think you’re doing?!” “I’m bringing you to the infirmary myself since you won’t let anyone else help you!!”

He folds his arms in annoyance as he continued to be carried by you through the halls.

Leona is embarrassed but he is also impressed with how strong you are, able to carry him so easily! He takes this treatment as it feels like you’re treating him like a king 👑

Malleus x Fem! Reader

I can’t even think of a situation where Malleus would get injured. Is that bad? Like, isn’t he too OP that he could possibly avoid most attacks/accidents? But I digress....

For the sake of the prompt, you didn’t know the circumstances of Malleus’s injuries. Lilia simply texted you to ask you to come to Diasomnia quickly since it was an emergency regarding Malleus.

After you ran into the dorm, you saw Malleus’s large body laying on the couch, and he looked to be in pain. You immediately tensed and ran to his side, grazing your fingers on his body.

“Malleus, what happened? Are you okay?” You stared into his face waiting for a response. Malleus only chuckled. “I’m alright my child of man. I would like you to take me to the infirmary. Sebek’s presence is appreciated but during my pain I would like you by my side.” 

Using the adrenaline in your body, you hoisted Malleus up bridal style as you made your way to the mirror to go to the infirmary.

Malleus says nothing but he widens his eyes, eventually shifting his face into a light smile as he sees how you show such a magnificent display of strength. For his sake, too!

Riddle x Fem! Reader

Riddle must have let his mind slip. The horse he was riding on freaked out during the club practice, effectively making him lose his balance and fall off of the horse with a hard thud to the ground.

You were planning on surprising Riddle by picking him up from his club meeting when it ended, but you ran from your hiding spot as you shrieked out his name, asking if he was okay.

Silver was going to help, but once he saw you he promptly went to calm the horse down, bringing it back to the stables.

Riddle was trembling and had dirt on his uniform, coughing once or twice. He assured you he was fine and that he just needed to go to the infirmary. Once the redhead got up to stand, he tried stepping forward only to have pain shoot back up his back, causing him to fall back.

“Oh, Riddle!” You quickly grabbed him before he fell. He definitely underestimated the damage that fall did to his body.

“Ah- Y/N, may you please take me to the infirmary? I won’t be able to go alone.” His face was already a bit red from the embarrassment and the pain, but he turned crimson once you lifted him up in your arms and started walking!

Riddle was flustered and stammering, but he didn’t tell you to stop! Something about being cradled in your arms made him feel safe, and as much noises of protest as he made he didn’t want you to let go of him.

Jade x Fem! Reader

Jade was fixing a lamp in the Mostro Lounge after it had closed. As he reached over to tamper with another bulb that was farther away, he overestimated his footing on the bar chair and landed hard on his back.

As you were cleaning a table, you noticed your boyfriend fall onto the floor. You audibly gasped and jogged over.

“Jade!! Are you okay?!” a worried voice came out of your throat, only to be met by Jade’s signature face, only his eyebrows were furrowed.

“Oh my, it seems I got into quite the fall. I am not quite sure I can manage my own to the infirmary. Y/N, would you please call Floyd over to bring me there?” Jade only looked minorly inconvenienced even though it was a hard fall. You sighed and told the eel mer that his brother ran off somewhere an hour ago saying he was bored.

Jade only sighed and smiled. But his face shifted to genuine shock when you offered to carry him there! Curious, he would accept your offer, allowing you to carry him to the infirmary. In truth, Jade wanted to see if his lover would be able to handle carrying him in her arms.

Jade was thoroughly impressed with your physical abilities and silently thought to himself. ‘Fufu, I wonder if she would be able to handle my eel form, too?’

Idia x Fem! Reader

Idia was injured in gym class, I imagine he was probably hit with some sort of ball on the head, knocking him down, even though someone already shouted “Shroud, watch out!!”

He was already feeling awful from having to be in an in-person required class, but now having to be embarrassed by getting hurt?! He just wanted to die…

Idia was curled up into a blue and black ball once you finally reached him. You spoke his name and he trembled, quivering even more into the ball.

“Come on Idia, I’ll take you to the infirmary then I’ll bring you back to your room, okay?” You gently spoke, finally getting his head to peek out.

Idia never expected you to scoop him up into your arms and carry you like a bride!!!

“Y-Y/N-shi!!! W-why?! Embarrassing, so embarrassing....” Idia could only bury his face with his fingers, as you chuckled and brought him to the infirmary. Although, he couldn’t help but think this was like some sort of secret SSR situation for him!!

Twelve Days of Christmas - Day Twelve

Prompt: Christmas Day.

Pairing: Yandere!Dorm Leaders/Reader (Twisted Wonderland).

TW: Implied Non-Con, Manipulation, Coercion, Slight Verbal Degradation, Mentions of Injury, Mentions of Choking, and Premeditated Assault.

It was supposed to be a tradition, among the Dorm Leaders.

That was what Leona said, at least, nudging you in the side as that predatory grin played at the corners of his lips. The prefects never went home for the winter holidays, sticking around to organize the dorms and met with the headmaster, so it was only natural that they’d celebrate together, sneaking off campus for the night for a bonfire and a few drinks Sam only sold to his favorite students. You’d tried to brush him off, but Azul’d vouched for him, and when prompted, Riddle’d flushed and admitted that there wasn’t technically a rule against anything they did. Somehow, neither managed to inspire much faith in their ringleader’s story, but they did their best. You’d give them credit for trying.

Kalim was the one who convinced you to go, in the end. You’d never been able to turn him away, and tonight wasn’t an exception, not when he’d been kind enough to turn up on Ramshackle’s doorstep with an extra coat, a spare thermos, and a smile that could’ve rivalled the sun. He was always sweet, like that. He always made it so hard to refuse, like that, even if you’d still groaned as he led you into woods surrounding Night Raven. He always made it hard to say no.

And now, he was making it impossible.

He was making it impossible to say much of anything, honestly.

You could feel his fingers hitting the back of your throat, prying your lips apart and forcing you to gag, your entire body jolting with the sudden force. Something sharp dug into your exposed back, the jagged edge of a stone cutting at the meat of your calf, but a strong hand was quick to clamp down around your shoulder, shoving you back to the ground. Its twin wrapped around Kalim’s wrist, dragging him away and letting your head fall to the side as you sputtered, struggling to breath. If Riddle noticed, he didn’t seem to think of you comfort as a priority. His grip only tightened around your forearm, a growl lacing the edges of his voice as he spoke. “Don’t be so careless,” He spat, all self-righteous frustration and poorly veiled aggression. “They could’ve passed out! The last thing we need is less time than we already have.”

Your vision was blurry, by now, your sense separated from reality by a thick layer of fog, but you could’ve sworn Kalim pouted, straightening his back and digging his knee into your bicep, the pressure numb and bruising, at the same time. “I’m just trying to have a little fun,” He sighed, his tone somewhere between a whine and a mumble. “It‘s not my fault Leona called the first turn. The rest of us still have to find something to do, ‘til he’s done.”

Until he’s done. It was more daunting than it should’ve been, until he’s done. You could feel Leona now, even if you refused to look at him, your legs wrapped around his waist, your thighs in his hands, sharpened nails tearing through thin clothes with a pace so idle, it almost felt patronizing. It would’ve been worse if he rushed, you knew that, it would’ve been so much worse, but part of you still wished he’d just… get it over with. Or, that he’d pretend he was trying to, at least. “I don’t take scraps,” Leona scoffed. You tried to buck your hips, making a half-hearted effort to put any amount of distance between you and him, but he only bared his teeth, sending you a soft glare as he splayed his hand over your waist, pinning you down before you could do so much as writhe. “I offered to let Schoenheit go, but apparently, his majesty got cold feet. And he was so pushy about this, too.” There was a tap to your side, a breath of a chuckle from Leona. “I’d be insulted if I were you, sweetheart. It’s not very considerate of him to leave you high and dry, is it?”

“Some of us have self-respect,” Vil retorted, from the edge of the clearing. You knew he’d be watching, that he’d be looming over you, but you still cringed at the reminder, at the judgement in his voice. “I would’ve offered Pomefiore as a venue, if I knew you’d be rolling around in the dirt like a herd of wild animals. I’ll clean up (Y/n) and take what I deserve when the rest of you are finished.”

At his side, Azul hummed in agreement. He’d chosen to play the role of innocent bystander, his judgement softened into a guiltless, shameless curiosity. In a way, he was better than Vil, he hadn’t helped to restrain you when you tried to run, nor did he seem to take any more malicious glee in this than he did anything else. But, what little appreciation you had for him died the moment he continued to do nothing, staring on with that small, knowing smirk. As if he wanted you to understand that he wasn’t on your side, even if he wasn’t really on theirs, either. “Someone has to make sure Idia gets his recording, too. And, with that in mind, it’d only be fair if he got to see some of the aftermath.”

“Greedy bastard,” Vil muttered, but he didn’t try to object further. “Fine, but don’t expect me to share.”

There was a beat of silence, and Leona took the opportunity to push your ripped shirt up to your collar, dragging his talons over your hips and aiming to start in earnest, but he stilled quickly, rounded ears flicking slightly as his expression dropped. You heard the reason why a second later - footsteps, hurried and careful, dredging through the forest and only getting closer. Your heart skipped a beat, the shocked hazed over your mind finally beginning to thin. Still, you didn’t have to think, you didn’t even try to. You were already thrashing, kicking at Leona, pulling against Kalim and Riddle. You were already screaming, the sound only partially muffled by Riddle’s attempts to keep you quiet. “Help!” It was a desperate cry, all shrill necessity, all primal instinct. “Help, I don’t know what’s going on, I can’t-- They’re going to ra--”

Riddle covered your mouth, but it was too late, you could already see him - Malleus. Wonderful, powerful Malleus, his eyes wide and his expression confused as he stepped into the small clearing. For a moment, he scanned over the arrangement, Leona between your legs, Vil watching on with crossed arms and a scowl, Azul, phone in hand and his posture still relaxed. Worrying relaxed, honestly.

Then, you heard Malleus’ laugh, and your heart cracked open in your chest.

“You gave me the wrong time,” He chided, but he didn’t seem angry. His pace was calmer than it had been as he approached, his touch nothing but gentle as his hand came to rest on Leona’s shoulder, who offered a shake of his head by way of apology. Malleus’ attention shifted towards you, but he didn’t seem affected. If anything, he only seemed more content than he had been, as he met your eyes. “Don’t stop on my account. I’ve been waiting as long as the rest of you.”

That made sense. You hated it, it was disgusting, but it made sense.

Leona did say all the prefects were looking forward to this, after all.

[chibiwritesstuff]

Hey! I'm the one that asked for the Lilia and Malleus ask. I love what you wrote so much man! (My poor heart died 😂) I am a big sucker for happy endings tho. So when you get the time can I ask for a happy ending ?

Ha, my laptop thought they won against me but I came out victorious (even though I took literal months to publish this.) In my defense, all the versions I’ve written for this didn't suit my tastes (not that this is any good either.) Hope this makes justice for such a long wait. Here’s the sequel/good ending for the angst fic.

Now, let’s enter this twisted wonderland~

Walking past the now dying garden that used to flourish in Ramshackle dorm, he sighed as he reminisces about the times you two stroll and spends time together. It's been years since you’ve left NRC, He and Lilia are about to graduate tomorrow, Silver will be a fourth-year student and the new vice-dorm leader while Sebek will be in his third year and the dorm leader much to the said fae’s surprise. He chuckled at the memory of how honored and tearful the young fae is upon being selected as its prefect.

“I have so much to tell you, (y/n).” He whispered at the wind.

“Hey, Tsunotarou!” The familiar voice of the tanuki cat being called that long-forgotten name.

“Hey, Tsunotarou! Are we going on a walk again tonight?” You smiled at him, your hand extended as an invitation.

“Grimm, wasn’t it?” He crouched down to pet the said creature.

“Hey! I’m not a pet!” The flames on his ears flared, responding to his emotions. “What are you doing here, anyway? The roses are all dead.”

A wave of sadness flashed in his eyes as another memory resurfaced. Returning his gaze towards the dead flowerbed, he let the memory linger.

“Thanks for the seeds, Tsunotarou!” You excitedly began digging and planting said seeds. “To commemorate our friendship, these roses will be our friendship roses!”

“Yes, they are…” His hand ceased from moving before sitting down the ground. “It’s all gone…”

“By the way, I never managed to get the courage to ask you but why did (y/n) went back home crying that time?”

“I was but a foolish man…” The young heir steered his gaze towards the night sky before closing his eyes. “Had I just enjoyed the present than worry about the future, perhaps they would still be here and smile brightly like they always had.”

“I’m sure if you say sorry, they’ll forgive you.” Grimm responded nonchalantly. “They said saying sorry is the first step to forgiveness… or something like that.”

He chuckled and stood up heading towards his dorm. “If things were only that easy…”

That night, he slept and dreamt about you two walking in the bed of roses you’ve grown at Ramshackle. Loving every single moment that you two get to spend subconsciously knowing that once he wakes up, he’ll return to the harsh reality of you not being by his side.

“Tsunotaro, I think I have fallen for you.” You quietly said warmth spreading across your cheeks. “Will you let me stay by your side till the last breath I take?”

This is all but a dream… so I can keep dreaming, right?

“Yes, only if you’ll let me do the same.”

“Really?!” Joy showed throughout your being which made him smile back. “Then I’ll see you tomorrow! Happy graduation!”

He woke up gasping for air. That dream sounded too good to be true and yet… he can’t help but be hopeful. Putting on a happy face, he got dressed on what Lilia laid out for him and this time, everybody remembered to tell him the time of the celebration. He can’t help but laugh just thinking what your reaction would have been about the changes of the students' behavior towards him after he tried to socialize better. Heading towards the stage getting his diploma as odd as it is, he acted formally as he mingled with the rest of the dorm leaders until a voice echoed throughout the area.

“Tsunotarou!” Receiving a hug from the back as the voice caught him off guard, he turned still not believing what he’s seeing. “Congrats on graduating!”

“(y/n)?” His voice faltered, overwhelmed with so many emotions. “How? Why? I –”

“Uh-oh… Lilia! Your king here is having an information overload!” You called which made the said fae laugh out loud.

“How are you here?” He finally managed to ask. “The mirror –”

“Ah, that would be my doing…” Idia whispered but managed to catch everyone’s attention. “It was an accident! I was messing around to make a teleporter so I can just teleport to the store than having to leave the dorm but it ended up making people travel through dreams then I managed to talk to (y/n). Then we both decided we might as well try to make travel here and back to their world possible.”

“Looks like you did meet me once upon a dream, yeah?” You grinned at the joke about his ancestor’s song.

He merely hugged you, savoring each second of being around your arms. “I don’t have anything ready but if you’ll give me a second chance…”

He lets go and kneeled on one knee before looking up to you once more. “Will you be my spouse till the day you draw your last breath?”

Time is but a blink of an eye for fae and before he knew it, the Star Sending is happening once again. He was happy when Silver and Sebek were chosen to be Star Gazers albeit the mentioned students aren’t. He strummed his electric guitar with no particular music in mind as he lets his mind wander until his gaze dropped on a familiar mug.

“Happy Birthday, Lilia!” You grinned as you handed him a mug that said “No. 1 Gamer Dad” on it. “Hope you like it!”

His lips curled into a faint smile as he remembered that day. It's been a year since you left and yet it felt like it was just yesterday. Letting go of the instrument, he walked towards the mug and lifted it intending to fill it with tomato juice.

“How have you been, little one?” He spoke towards the image of you in his head. “I hope life is treating you better in your world.”

Without me in it… he sighed as sadness filled his chest. If I could change the past, or at least be given another chance… will you give your love to me once more?

“Old m –” Silver cleared his throat before entering. “I mean, Lilia. I’m here to take your wish.”

He took a deep breath before putting a huge smile to face his son. “Ah, yes of course! You know my wish. I wish for both –”

“Stop.”

This surprised the old fae as his son never raised his voice on him. “We both know that that’s not your true wish.”

“Silver, do humor me and just let me finish my wish.” He pouted, swirling the tomato juice in the mug before drinking it.

“Father, we all know how much you love them.” The young knight sighed before taking a seat on a nearby chair. “You always gush about them whenever we eat or do anything.”

“Oh Silver, I appreciate the concern but sometimes you got to let go.” A forlorn smile graced his lips.

“And sometimes you have to be selfish!” Both of them looked surprised at his outburst yet Silver regained his composure and continued. “You love them, right?! Then why not be with them? You took me in out of love, right?”

“There’s a big difference here, Silver.” Lilia rubbed his temple as stress starts to build up.

“What’s the difference? We’re both humans with a short lifespan so you can't use that as an excuse!” His silver eyes narrowing as he gazed upon his father before widening. “You’re afraid, aren’t you?”

He let out a defeated chuckle before nodding. “You’ve grown so much, Silver. I’m so proud of you, you know?”

“Why? You could have been happily living with them.”

“Because I’m afraid to witness her death if we ever do start a family together.” At last, the older fae began letting his tears fall in front of his son. “I don’t think I’ll be able to survive seeing her pass while I still live on. I want it to last for all eternity but to remove her mortality is too inhumane.”

“I-I’m sorry…” Silver lowered his head, having a little understanding of what he meant. “I didn’t mean to –”

“So, for my wish this Star Sending…” After a pathetic attempt to control his tears, he gulped and continued. “I want to be given another chance to be with them… and this time, I’ll bear the pain of losing them when the time comes.”

A shine of light filled the wishing star confirmed his wish inside the item. Silver walked towards him and let the man cry his heart out in his arms. He both felt sad and honored that Lilia is willing to cry in front of him. He truly hopes that his father’s wish is granted. Bringing out the wishing star, he proclaimed his wish.

“I wish (y/n) can return in twisted wonderland once more.”

“Silver, you didn’t have to waste your wish for this…”

“I don’t mind having a parent like them.” He smiled before heading towards the door with both wishing stars at hand. “They’re a much better cook than you anyway.”

“Hey!”

The day of Star Sending has arrived and everybody is once again by the huge tree behind NRC. It went well without a hitch and Lilia’s phone filled with recordings of Sebek and Silver dancing in perfect sync towards the taiko being played by Jack of Savanaclaw. As all students began returning to their dorms, the bat fae decided to stay a little longer and was given privacy by the rest of the Diasomnia students.

“Catch me, Lilia!” A voice screamed from above.

Turning his attention to the voice’s origin. His eyes widened before extending his arms ready to catch the person. A huge smile on his face as you landed safely into his arms. You let out a sigh of relief as you steadied yourself in his hold.

“Do not question why I was up in the air.” You huffed, glaring at the sky. “Safe landing my ass! I was dropped off 50ft up in the air!”

“My oh my, did you fall in love with me all over again?” He teased as he covertly wiped his tears.

“I saw that and maybe but I would still prefer a much safer landing.” You huffed before smiling at him. “What happened to the ‘I wish for world peace between all creatures’ wish, huh?”

“How did you know?”

“My coworker and I were trying to make a portal to get me back here because I forgot some stuff here to grab and funnily enough those wishing stars became our fuel source to open that portal.” You pulled out your phone and confirmed your arrival with a whole long spiel on how the landing would have killed you if you weren’t caught by Lilia. “But by your wish I assume there’s no need for me to get packing away from here?”

“Yes, if you’ll give me another chance.” He held out his hand, a makeshift flower ring on his palm. “Will you give me the honor of being your significant other?”

Hi💗 can i request a kissing headcanon with dorm leaders please ? ❤ (english is not my native language too, is spanish XD) but i see that you are very good at it ♡

Fun fact, if I manage to sign up in time, I will be learning Spanish at uni this year

Also thank you anon 💗💗

I have no clue why Vil is quite lenghty. Oh, and I added one character to the mix 👀👀

🥀 Riddle is always tad embarrassed when you shower him with small kisses in public. His face would flush and slowly he would begin turning into rosy, blushing mess. His eyes avoid yours and he would mumble incoherently something along the lines “oh, stoph it”

🥀 Riddle even forbade you to kiss him in public,

,,Rule 812, Y/N shall not kiss Riddle Rosehearts in public”

🥀 Cater is your shipper#1 and he loves taking sneaky pictures of flushed and embarrassed Riddle, he even has a special folder for you two, (Trey often shows up in the perfect moment just right before Riddle snatches his phone and crashes it)

🥀 however, when you’re two alone, he doesn’t mind you showering him in affection and he does his best to return the favour,

🥀 Riddle is generally a bit anxious about kissing and he often gets nervous. At first his kisses are sloppy, he may accidentally bite your tongue, he doesn’t know where to put his hands....it’s a bit of a mess,

🥀 Riddle’s kisses are pretty short and sweet, really chaste and gentleman like. He loves kissing your cheeks 

🥀 after a while he gets used to showing you affection in public, but Riddle still gets pretty frustrated when you kiss him out of blue, no matter how far in relationship you are,

🦁 kisses with Leona are usually rough and passionate. He loves grazing his teeth over your lips, before slightly biting them,

🦁 his hands would be roaming everywhere around your body, literally everywhere, yet mostly stoping at your waist. Leona just simply adores holding you close and touching your soft skin while he showers just in affection, 

🦁 his kisses feels both – eager and lazy at the same time. Leona often leaves a trail of violet and red marks on your neck, before biting and nibbling on it,

🦁 he loves your neck in general. Kisses you there way more often than on your lips, 

🦁 Leona adores leaving hickeys, reddish marks and his scent on your neck, so then everyone knows that you’re his,

🦁 often buries his head in the crook of your neck when he’s sleepy and gently presses his lips to your skin. He absolutely adores when you wake up with a kiss, 

🐙screams internally each time you lean in for the kiss, 

🐙 Azul is pretty much touch-starved and he isn’t used to receiving and giving affection. He absolutely loves when you breathe compliments and praises in between your soft and gentle kisses, 

🐙 at first, he feels insecure about his kisses, often pulling away after a second, gently grazing his lips over yours and making sure you’re comfortable,

🐙 when you assure him that he’s doing great, he shall continue. At first, it all feels pretty hesitant and experimental and Azul is not entirely sure what he’s doing,

🐙 however, when he gets the hang of it, he’s the absolute god of kisses. Can and will surprise you with gentle kisses on your hand, forehead, cheeks,

🐙 Azul may be even bold enough to pin you to the wall and hungrily smash his lips on yours in desperate kiss,

🐙 won’t straight up ask you for a kiss, no, Azul will offer you a “contract”

,,Y/N, do you need help with homework?” “Yes, I would deeply appreciate it!” “Well, maybe if you kiss me…”

🐙 you both are always finding for dominance in kiss and Azul always make sure to win,

🦂 the chaotic duo is back again,

🦂 your kisses are playful and short, yet they happen at least hundred times a day,

🦂 you are often seen running up to Kalim, grazing your lips over his in ghost kiss and dashing away while giggling. To return the favour, Kalim loves surprising you by coming up behind you and planting a soft kiss on your cheeks,

🦂 he isn’t too shy to kiss you in school hallways, canteen or even classroom. Kalim always make sure to give you the affection and he’s pretty clingy, so the sight of you two sharing a kiss doesn’t shock anyone (even Crewel ships you too, so hard)

🦂 you’re just too adorable. You two smile a lot when kissing in the breaks to catch the air, before smashing your lips together one more time,

🦂  surprise kisses A LOT – you’re the definition of them,

🦂 you both like to tease each other. You would slightly brush your lips against his and then quickly pull away with giggle. On the contrary, Kalim would bite your lip without a warning and then runn away before properly kissing you (Jamil literally can’t stand you two)

🦚 Vil detests getting messy, so it could appear that he would be absolutely against long make out session,

🦚 oh, how wrong you were,

🦚  Vil knows what he’s doing and he absolutely adores long kisses. You could spend half of the day in Pomefiore chambers sitting on his lap and gently twirling strands of Vil’s hair on your fingers, while he would be gently pressing his warm, soft lips to your skin, making sure he doesn’t leave any marks,

🦚  you’re literally the only couple who doesn’t get messy and still has a perfect hairstyles and make-up after long hours of kissing. 

🦚 well, practice makes perfect, right? You and Vil were diligent enough to master that technique after spending long hours practicing,

🦚 Vil’s kisses are soft and they last for long. He makes sure he doesn’t bite you or leave any marks on you. You often taste each other’s lipstick and try to guess the flavour, 

,,Was that peachy lipstick?” “Try again darling” “Cherry?” “You’re so bad at this Y/N, maybe I should start referring to you as potato if you don’t get it right this time, hmm?”

🦚 you don’t mind Vil calling you potato again, you just want to continue kissing his lips,

🦚 slowly drags his hand down your back and it gives you shivers, before his glossy lips gently captures you. He’s very sensual yet soft at the same time, making you melt in his kisses,

🦚 Vil occasionally pulls away, breathing compliments and praising you,

,,You’re absolutely dazzling, darling”

🦚  when you are in public Vil loves holding your hand and rub it with his thumb, tracing gentle circles while he leans in for a brief kiss,

🦚 you are always watched by Rook who coos at how cute you both are,

,,Oh, Roi de Poison et le petit lapin~~~~Quel beau couple vous faites~~”

💀 someone please help this poor, unfortunate soul. He has no clue what he’s doing and even anime can’t save him at this point,

💀  he’s so nervous and frustrated at the mere mention of you wanting to shower him with kisses. So you take it slow,

💀 while kissing you, Idia often has to stop, so his brain can proceed the fact that he’s actually kissing you. He often can’t believe it and you always giggle when he does that,

💀 awkwardly places his hands on you shoulders, closes his eyes really tight and leans it…it’s a mess, he may bite your tongue accidentally, but don’t worry, when he gets the hang of it….

💀 his sharp teeth are going to start playfully biting your lips, nibbling on your skin and generally leaving marks whenever you two are in his room, of course,

💀 Idia doesn’t like sharing kisses and holding hands in public. He’s always embarrassed and he prefers keeping your relationship as private as he can,

🐲 when you two started dating, Malleus would always ask for your permission before his soft lips gently crashed on yours,

,,May I kiss you, dearest Y/N?”

🐲 you always giggle, before shyly nodding,

🐲 kisses with Malleus are always meaningful and intimate. With each kiss Malleus wants to express his undying and eternal love to you,

🐲 he takes his time, carefully dotting on your skin, leaving a trail of gentle kisses. Malleus doesn’t mind if you play with strands of his long, silky hair while you sit on his lap and he presses his lips against yours,

🐲 Malleus loves holding your cheek and staring in your beautiful eyes for a moment before his cold lips are met with yours. He holds you if you were the most fragile person in whole universe,

🐲 often kisses your forehead or hands, which always make you a bit frustrated,

🐲 every single kiss is so special and meaningful to him. Malleus is quite touch-starved and he is more than eager to shower you with affection. Quite frankly, he will remember every single kiss you two had shared,

🐲 prefers to kiss you passionately in his room or in the safety of Diasomnia dorm’s walls (even if it means hearing Lilia nonstop cooing how adorable you both are)

,,Oh, great lizard! You’re finally in love, you’ve grown up so much”

🦇 this self-proclaimed father of Diasomnia knows exactly what he’s doing and there’s no denying,

🦇 Lilia loves teasing you. His sharp fangs are grazing over your lips in ghost like kiss before harshly biting down, drawing crimson droplets. He adores licking off your blood from you while he gently presses his warm lips against yours,

🦇 you soon begin to associate the pain of his bite with pleasure,

🦇 Lilia often buries his head in your neck, leaving a trail of bloody marks. Don’t worry, he will make sure no crimson droplets of yours will be wasted. He licks the bites and violet, reddish marks he had left, so supposedly they could heal better,

🦇 his tongue often brushes over your lips few times, before actually kissing you passionately,

🦇 Lilia has no shame, absolutely no shame,

🦇 he doesn’t mind appearing suddenly, hanging upside down from the ceiling and roughly pressing his lips against yours in reverse kiss (spiderman style kiss) while literally half of the canteen is looking,

🦇 he’s the best kisser ever

🦇 Silver will never, ever, get used to seeing this old man kissing you and being affectionate/touchy with you

,,Could you both…hmm… NOT?!” “But not what?”

Mistletoe Headcanons

So all the boys except Siver and Sebek are in here. I wanted to post them last night but my power went out. Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoy!

Warnings: fluff, kissing, possibly oc characters

Heartslabyul:

Riddle Rosehearts:

Not sure how to react

On one hand he would like to take the head of whoever put it up

On the other hand he has to follow the rules and the rules with mistletoe are that you have to kiss who you meet underneath the hanging kiss trap

Oh look you’re the one he has to kiss

He’s gone beet red by now 

Rules are rules though

Steel’s himself and shuts his eyes

The kiss is quick and somewhat off since he couldn’t see what he was doing

“Ahem, excuse me”

Your shocked as Riddle runs into the next room

Trey Clover:

Somewhat annoyed by the mistletoe

But only because he knows he’s gonna have to deal with Riddle later when the dorm head finds out

What he isn’t annoyed by is your cute, stunned face staring up at it

Taking his chance he moves in and pecks you gently on the lips

Your shocked gaze meets his and he smiles before moving around you

Wait. What just happened?

Cater Diamond: 

Don’t tell Riddle but he knew the mistletoe was going to be there

Tells you he wants to take a selfie with you in this doorway because it has ‘good lighting’

“Oh look mistletoe. You know what that means.”

Steals a kiss before you can even react

He pulls back with a wink

“If you wanna take another selfie here later let me know.”

Ace Trapolla:

Highkey he’s the one that put it there

Literally only thought that other people were gonna get caught 

Spends quite a bit of time lingering near the doorway and laughing into his cup when people realize what they walked into

It’s not until you’ve attempted to drag him to the other room through the doorway that he realize that he’s screwed

Cater sneakily points it out to you

You grab him excitedly and kiss him on the lips 

“Oh...ok. Thanks”

Walks away stunned and redder than Riddle’s hair

Deuce Spade:

Oh no

He forgot this was going to be here

The two of you have been standing in this doorway for about 3 minutes and you haven’t seemed to notice

Unfortunately he knows that he can’t walk away now that he’s been caught

Takes a deep breath and kisses you

Not understanding what happened you pull back shocked

“Oh my god I’m so sorry-” 

You see the mistletoe and kiss him again

Smiling shyly you pull back and walk away

“Wow I kissed someone”

Ace is snorting in the background

Savanaclaw:

Leona Kingscholar:

Deeply annoyed by this situation

His tail swishes irattably behind him

Whoever did this was going to get eaten

More upset that he was foolish enough to get caught by it

Realizing that you’re staring at it curiously he sighs and puts his fingers on the bridge of his nose

Here goes nothing

He growls and grabs your chin, tilting it towards him

He kisses you harshly and growls again in distaste that he had to be coerced into this by a damn plant

Pulling away he only takes a second to admire your flushed face and dazed look before grunting “African mistletoe” and stalking away

Pointedly ignores any stares he gets and growls under his breath

Would deny it to his death but he enjoyed the brief kiss

Would also deny that he wants to do it again

Ruggie Bucchi:

Snickers at the face you make when you realize you guys are underneath a mistletoe hanging

Greatly appreciates the blush that decorates your cheeks

He honestly doesn’t care all that much about the mistletoe

It’s just a kiss

He leans forward and pecks you on the lips before pulling back and snickering again

“You should see your face y/n” 

Stunned you mumbled and walked away

He wished he had taken the chance to kiss you again

Jack Howl:

Oh boy

Tsundere wolf blushes like a madman

He’s pretty much in denial that mistletoe exists

You noticed that the two of you had crossed underneath it and pulled him back to the doorway

“Rules are rules”

He didn’t appreciate you saying that

Sighing he moves in to kiss your cheek

You turn at the last second and place your lips together 

He’s in complete shock and his face makes you giggle

Will deny to the end of his life that his tail wagged like crazy afterwards

Octavinelle:

Azul Ashengrotto:

Isn’t the type to let his fluster show at first

Will casually gesture to the mistletoe and ask you how you feel about the tradition

Unconsciously strikes up a conversation about it to prolong the inevitable

At some point you realize what he’s doing and reach to kiss him

He makes a noise of surprise but quickly contains himself to kiss you back gently

You pull away and continue to talk about christmas traditions as if nothing happened

No there isn’t a blush on his face (he’s just developed a fever that’s all)

Jade Leech:

Sneaky eel 

This man probably conspired to put it there in the first place

Also meant to get you underneath it with him

He takes a moment to watch you shift uneasily as he eyes you like you’re prey

Taller then you so he leans down and places a hand underneath your chin

Kisses you slowly and teases you a but by nibbling on your lip

When you think he’s going to deepen it he pulls back with a smile

“Darling if you wanted to kiss me you should have just said so. No need to use traditions as an excuse.”

Yes that was his way of flustering you further while also slyly mentioning that he didn’t just kiss you because of the mistletoe

Floyd Leech:

Not a fan of the mistletoe game

He’s aware of it and makes a point not to get caught underneath it

He’s not a kisser 

He’s a hugger

If he ever did meet someone under the mistletoe he would pretend to be oblivious to the proper tradition and squeeze them instead

With you however he is very excited to be caught

Picks you up with a squeal and squeezes you tightly

His inner sadist loves how you squirm and gasp for breath

Also loves the redness of your face when you see the mistletoe

“Come here Shrimpy~ You owe me a squeeze~”

Thinking he wasn’t going to kiss you, you brace yourself for a squeeze

He does squeeze you but he kisses you too

Also bites your cheek lightly 

“There. Now everyone knows that Shrimpy is my mistletoe buddy, hehe”

Scarabia:

Kalim Al Asim:

Mistletoe everywhere

Literally is obsessed with hugging his friends and it gives him an excellent excuse to do so

He just didn’t count on you being there 

Not that he minds

Holds your face in his hands and peppers you with kisses

His brilliant smile is blinding afterwards

“Y/n! Y/n! Let’s go find some more mistletoe, kay?”

Jamil Viper:

Lowkey aware of the Mistletoe he just hasn’t had the chance to move Kalim away from it

Of course he has to chase Kalim through one of the doorways

Bumps into you

You’re surprised and go to move when you see the mistletoe

Flushes a deep red and has to take a moment to collect himself

Calmly he leans closer to you 

Kisses passionately but also nervously

Beet red when he pulls back and hides his face with his hood for the rest of the night

Pomefiore:

Vil Schoenheit: 

Will absolutely not kiss you with his lipstick on

Honey never

You can kiss his hand of course but that’s about it

What you don’t expect is that he will pay up later when he’s removed his lip makeup

Probably called you to his room after the day was done and pecked you on the lips

“There now I have fulfilled the tradition and don’t owe you anything

Also put chapstick on you beforehand

“That flavor suits you. Keep it.”

Rook Hunt:

Due to his hunter instincts and excellent observation skills he knows where every piece of mistletoe is hung

Likely guided you right underneath it without your knowledge

If you’re extra careful about them then he might just shoot another one up

“Did you put that there?” “Shhh, ma chérie."

Will kiss your cheeks, nose, and lips in that order

Calls you beautiful and asks you to spend some more time with him

Highkey Rook is the only one at NRC that knows what he’s doing with the ladies

Epel Felmier:

Epel has literally never kissed anyone in his life

There are rarely any people his age in his hometown either so he has little experience with dating or even dealing with anyone he’s interested

Finding himself under mistletoe with anyone would be terrifying nonetheless you

You!

You’re cute and sweet and kind and a lot of things

But most importantly you’re someone who he wants to kiss

Which means that you and him can not kiss under any circumstances

But here you are and here he is under the mistletoe

And know you have to kiss

The kiss was short and barely existent but it was sweet and when he pulled back his face was equal parts red and pale

You giggled and kissed his cheek

Ignihyde:

Idia Shroud:

Ok Idia is really shy

So it’s super unlikely he’s gonna end up anywhere with an actual mistletoe 

But Ortho dragged him out of his room so here he is

And now he’s under the mistletoe

With you…

And regretting all of his life choices

But he forgets all of that once your lips touch

He’s not cold like you thought he would be

He’s actually very hot

The kiss only lasts for a second because you were cut off by his hair turning red and flaming up

Ortho drags him back to his room where he resets enough to remember where he is

Once he figures out what happened he’s gonna flare up again

Poor Ortho has to spray the whole room with the fire extinguisher

Ortho Shroud (platonic):

Ortho is delighted at all the cool traditions and decorations that are strewn about the place

He spends Christmas with Idia of course but he finally managed to get him out of his room long enough to have a look around

There are some things that he doesn’t recognize like the dangling plant clippings that people are kissing under

When he finds himself under one with you he points to it and asks about it

You giggle and tell him before quickly kissing his cheek

The younger Shroud tells Idia afterwards and laughs at his older brother’s face

Idia is at least fond of your friendship with Ortho 

He thinks it’s fine that you told him about mistletoe as long as Ortho remembers to avoid it at all costs for the rest of his active life

Diasomnia:

Malleus Draconia:

Has no clue what mistletoe is

“Child of man what is this thing here?”

You flush and start to stammer about mistletoe

Cue Lilia popping in with a thorough explanation about of how mistletoe works and pays special attention to the fact that Malleus has to kiss you

The vampiric man takes his leave and smirks knowingly when you glare daggers into his back

Malleus stays silent for a moment before leaning down and kissing you

He is a surprisingly good kisser and you are too shocked to do anything

“Well then, I hope that the tradition was to your liking child of man.”

Would never admit that he is blushing and walks away quickly

Oh Malleus the tradition was very much to your liking

Lilia Vanrouge:

This man has been waiting for you to show up 

Highkey pops in just as you walk underneath the mistletoe

“Hello there”

Your mini heart attack means little to him as he giggles and points up

“Look mistletoe”

Then he kisses you

Experienced kisser and leaves you breathless

“We should do this again but right now I have to go deal with one of the, ahem, children” (Sebek)

Stunned you stand there for a moment before wondering what happened

“Um ok later then”

Yes he did here you and will take that as permission to kiss you again

Hi there if you are looking for Sebek and/or Silver I am very sorry to say that I don’t write for them just yet because I don’t know them all too well. Very sorry and hope the other headcanons were to your liking. Happy holidays!
