#floyd's so stupidly whipped for you but he agrees anyway because he loves you too much

[merakiui]

I badly need crumbs of the most dangerous game now aghhhh

I,,,, am so tempted to write more with those idiots. OTL or perhaps writing something from Jade's pov. Or something where Reader finally, finally realizes she's in love with him instead of veiling it with the lie of convenience. Slowly falling out of love with Floyd, only to be smacked in the face one day with her feelings for Jade. And she has this moment where she just freezes up and is like: Oh my Great Seven. I'm in love with Jade Leech. How did that happen?????

I just think they're so wonderful. <3 I want Reader to see Jade at his worst and still love and appreciate him in the same way he does to her when he sees her at her worst. And he'd be so irritating in their now established fwb. T_T doing all of these romantic gestures, only for Reader to insist it's just "part of the arrangement." ADeuce do not believe her for a second: "So he lent you his sweater because it's...what friends with benefits do?????" Can you even call it fwb if Jade's doing everything a boyfriend does—if you're waking up in his arms or falling asleep in his clothes?

AAAAAAA they're both so silly!!!! They drive each other crazy in the best ways. (˘ ˘ ˘)

Ace being Ace

this was written during a roleplay session with @twst-cookie​ so thank you for feeding me this cuz MPHH-

Anyways, sorry, here’s the fic.

tw: swearing and perspective change

----

You were doing homework in Ramshackle- got to keep those grades (and the rent) up, ya know?- with Ace (“Hey, hey, Y/N, I’m bored~”) when Grim, your faithful yet cheeky companion burst in the dorm, accompanied by Azul. 

‘Oh, Azul...’ You thought worriedly. You don’t like Azul- he’s fucking scary, man! And the Leech twins too! You shiver at the thought of his overblot- eep!

“Grim!” You shout, dropping your materials as Ace stands up- perhaps, in your defense?

"IT'S AZUL- the mean octopus guy that was fat-" Grim grumbles, quickly interrupted by Azul’s threatening smile.

"Ara ara, Grim-kun, I thought we meant to keep that secret?" Azul questions, his ever permanent smile slipping as he steps into Ramshackle. 

"EEP!" Grim screamed, burying his face into your stomach, which you comply to. "Help me!" “Um, did uh, Grim do anything?" You ask, confused and scared out of your mind. "Why, yes." Azul nodded, his smile affixed back . "He broke a couple of plates during his service-" "He forced me 'ta work for him!" Grim retaliated stupidly.

“Oh my god Grim...” Ace sighed. “Seriously? What did you get, Deuce’s stupidity?”

“You’re one to talk!”

"Now now, don't go twisting your words.” Azul miffed, pushing his glasses up. “I offered you a job, which you took in exchange for whatever you wish."

"And I worked!" Grim protested. "You did, but during those work hours, you broke plenty of dishes, so!" Azul slammed a piece of paper with bills written on them. "Please have all of these paid by Thursday."

"...In... In 2 days?" You blinked, worried.

Azul nodded at your bewildered tone, sky blue eyes blazing- ‘Is he a sadist?’ you quietly wonder. "In 2 days." "What happens if we don't?" Grim asked stupidly. "Well, you've seen Jade and Floyd, haven't you?" Azul simply replies. "I'm sure that'll suffice for an answer. Then..." Azul walked out. "I'll see you in 2 days." The door shut. "..."

You’re pissed, as you should be. "Grim." You ask demurely, far more demure then you usually sound. That rings some warning bells in Ace’s head.

"Y-yes?" Grim has some balls to answer you, but at least he’s stuttering. "Do you..." You gaze at the cat, one hand gripping the chair you sat on and the other balled into a quivering fist. "Do you realize, my dear, dear cat, what you've done?" "Yes...???"  "Good. Then fix it." You answer coolly. ”Yourself.” "Wha- you're not going to help me?!" Grim wail. 

”No!” You shout back. “Why should I?!”

”Cuz we count as 1 student, so if I break something, you also gotta help!” Grim counters, puffing. 

”You say that, but you don’t help me with anything...” You grumble back, crossing your arms insistently. “I’m not helping.”

”Wha-- wa....” Grim’s ears droop sadly, giving you his best puppy- how ironic- eyes. You don’t gaze into them, knowing you’d immediately lose if you do. 

Ace ,ever the cheeky bastard, called you. “Y/N.” You face Ace for a second, but that second was the mistake.

In place of Ace was Grim, still with those puppy eyes- oh you lost, and you knew it. Grim did too, as he grins cheekily at your defeat and cheers. You give Ace a dirty glare, the boy smirking- you wonder why he teases you so.

“Yeah~~ Now, let’s get to it, henchmen! I wanna eat my tuna calmly today~~” Grim hums, flying out of the dorm. 

‘Wasn’t he depressed just a few moments ago...???’ You sigh, slowly rising from your chair. “See you, Ace.”

“See you~” Your classmate hummed, not seeming to care about your predicament. 

‘At least act like you care, jerk...’ You frown, shutting the door with more force then you would. Unbeknownst to you, Ace placed a few madols into your piggy bank (yes you use a piggy bank shut UP ACE IT’S NOT CHILDISH FUCK YOU-), a soft smile placate on his face. 

*2 days later*

You woot, slapping the appropriate amount of madol bills on one of Monstro Lounge’s tables. “YESSSSSSSS!!!” 

“Ah, it really is the appropriate amount.” Azul says. He sounds a little defeated in your opinion- hehe, that just means more wins for you~

“YEAH, HENCHMEN!” Grim lifts up a paw and you press your palm against it, despite it being HIS fault your in this predicament in the first place, but you don’t really care about the specifics at the moment.

“Ehh, I can’t squeeze Shrimpy and Baby Seal? Boring~ Azul, you promised!” Floyd pouts, his cheeks puffing up in disappointment. 

“Yes Azul, you did promise us you would have someone prepared.” Jade agrees, his tall form sweeping a gaze over your small ones. You feel a shiver rush down your back- why do they sound like they want to kill you?!

You and Grim exchange glances. ‘Let’s get out of here!’ Without a second to waste, you sprint the fuck out of there, Grim following close behind. 

-

You bang the doors of Heartslabyul open to Riddle’s chagrin- look, you need to celebrate this victory and the only people you knew who are free live here! You fall onto one of their England-style couches and cheer: “We did it!!!!”

“YEAHHH!!” Grim joins you in your victory, flying in circles in the air. You do a little jig on the couch, uncaring of your surroundings because FUCK, you just beat Azul! Mc-fucking Azul Ashen grotto, evil business man octo boy! Yass!!!!

“Y/N, Grim, what are you doing?” Riddle frowns, glancing at your happy and disheveled state. 

“Riddle-senpai!” You grin at him. “Guess what?”

“I don’t have time for-”

“We beat Azul in his game!” You interrupt, too happy to care.

"Game?” Ace and Deuce ask, walking to the common room. “Sup, dorm leader!”

“Ace! We beat Azul- scary octo man!” Ace snickers at the nickname along with Deuce. 

“What do you mean?” Riddle asks. 

“Well...” You explain the ordeal, pinching Grim a few times in the process (”I said I’m sorry!!!”). 

“I see... well, I still don’t condone students barging into the lounge, but good job.” Riddle acknowledges, patting your head- head pat!!! 

“Thanks senpai~” You hum happily.

“Ey, nice, prefect~” Ace squishes you into a hug, grabbing your waist and pulling you flush against his chest. You blush at this, but brush it off as Ace being a tease. “I wonder what the bastard looked like when he saw you won!”

“He looked like this-” Grim poorly demonstrates, adding more comedy to the conversation. Deuce laughs at this, sitting next to Ace. 

“I don’t  think he looked like that...”

“But it’s true!”

As the conversation goes on, you still on Ace’s lap, the boy smiles against your shoulder, his arms laxly holding you close, and you don’t pull away either, too happy to care. He might have a decreased allowance, but its all worth it to see you smile like this- a golden fleck against a sea of blues. 

Deuce catches a glance at his love-struck roommate and snickers to himself, knowing what a fool Ace is when you’re out of sight- he vehemently denies his feelings, but even Deuce could see how whipped he is for you.
