ᴋɪᴛꜱᴜɴᴇ ʏᴏᴍᴇɪʀɪ - Tɯιʂƚҽԃ Wσɳԃҽɾʅαɳԃ x Gҽɳʂԋιɳ Rҽαԃҽɾ Chapter 2

CH 1:

“Tell me now that u really like the show”

You freeze and sigh, muttering various curses under your breath as the Mirror assigns you to Heartslabyul. You sigh and plaster a fake smile on your features, “Great…so much for being left alone…” you mutter and walk to where the other students assigned to Heartslabyul stood. You didn’t hate the house, it was just…that it was full, Riddle ensured that no student was held back or failed in Heartslabyul. Due to that the dorm was always full, so that meant you would most likely have to bunk with someone. “Curses…curse you cruel fate…” you curse and join the group. You think and cross your arms in annoyance Just what I needed, sharing a room with some teenage boys! As a a kitsune the mere thought of it repulses me. Not to mention I am a hime! I shouldn’t have to bunk with a human! But I suppose that is what happens when you join a school of mostly humans. “Is there a problem?” A slightly irritated Riddle asks noticing your annoyed demeanor. “Of course not Housewarden…” You smile sweetly, biting back the urge to cry out that yes, yes there is a problem. He nods and watches as the strange student with the cat, that was following the Headmage, step up to the Mirror.

“State thy name” The wispy voice demands. “Shion Yuukuro” they reply, glancing nervously around the room. “The shape of thy soul is…nothing, it is a blur, they are utterly soundless, shapeless, blank. There is not even a faint sense of magic from this one. Therefore no dorm would be suitable”. The magicless human flinches at the Mirror’s announcement and stares confused, slowly fidgeting with the corners of their hood. At the Mirror’s words the whole room erupts into a mix of confused what’s? And how’s that possible?! You shrug and stay silent, Visionless humans were ordinary in Teyvat. Yet their confusion is understandable, who would imagine that a magicless human be thrown into a school for the future wizards of tomorrow? “Such an unexpected reaction, that poor child.” You sigh in pity and stare at Riddle “That person bares no magic whatsoever! It’s impossible how they can be admitted here!” Riddle replies in astoundment, turning to face you. “What’s with the nonchalant expression?” You shrug at his question “Fate has blessed this poor soul by throwing them to the wolves, perhaps they will blossom into a flower of evil? Or not, either way is of no consequence to me”. You smile and wait eagerly. Even the Headmage Crowley is at a loss for words “Are you suggesting that the black carriage would send for one without magic? The absurdity! The student selection process has never been wrong!”

Riddle and you watch the chaos as the strange cat at their magicless owner’s side jumps up “Well then, let me take this human’s place! At least I can use magic! Lemme show ya!” The creature smugly cries and spews azure fire to prove his claim. “Everyone, get down!” Riddle commands and takes a protective stance in front of you and the rest of the students behind him. You hear a cry from the side of the room and whip around to see Kalim panicking as blue flames dance around his robe.

You can’t catch his next words as you hear that tailed student from earlier sigh in boredom “Ugh, can I go now? Or…?” Vil responds curtly “Oh? I thought you fancied yourself a hunter. But I suppose that you’re now too bored?” The student quips back “Too much effort for a tiny weasel…”. Azul smiles suspiciously “Allow me to handle this, Headmage Crowley. If none of you are willing to catch this small animal, I shall accept the responsibility”. The floating tablet voices their piece “WTG Azul, ur def not doing this just for participation creds”. “Hey, um, guys? I’m still on fire…could anyone put this out?!” Kalim cries. In response, you bring out your magic pen to cast a spell, though you’re beaten by Shion. Who removes their robe, throwing it on him, extinguishing the flames. “Are you alright? Any burns?” You hear them ask as the other students avoid the flames.

The cat pouts “I ain’t no weasel! I’m Grim, spellcaster extraordinaire!” “You’re nothing but a furry miscreant. I will abide no rule-breaking” Riddle states aiming his magic pen at Grim. “Off With Your Head!” He shouts at Grim and the ‘cat’ sputters out “MYAH! What’re you doin’?” As a heart shaped collar snaps around his neck. Heartslabyul’s Housewarden smiles proudly and declares “The Queen of Heart’s Rule 23: ‘One must never bring a cat to a formal affair’. Your presence here is a direct violation of the rules. You will vacate these premises immediately”. You smile teasingly, “My what an interesting turn of events. Such an interesting spell Riddle, pity it’s used on a little prideful neko”. Grim retorts “I ain’t no cat either! I’ll go burn this collar right off!-Huh? Wh-whats wrong? My fire ain’t working!” Shion walks over to the group after talking with Kalim, and they crouch down to pick Grim up. “H-huh!?” He exclaims as Shion rubs their cheek against his “I don’t care if you have 128454732973 diseases. You’re adorable and I’m petting you” they smile happily. Riddle stares confused before coughing out “Um…Excuse me! That cat has to be vacated from the premises immediately. You need to control your pet better!” Shion pouts “But look at his little face~the only thoughts behind those eyes are about arson. Besides, he’s not my pet” Crowley adds confused “Y-you say that creature isn’t your pet?” Shion sighs in exasperation “Well duh, if he was, his name would definitely not be Grim”. They place the cat down and dust themselves off. “Very well then, I suppose that I shall be merciful and send this creature off school grounds. I’m very magnanimous for sparing this creature from being stew, am I not?” Crowley smiles, though you don’t trust the gleam in the yellow specks behind his mask. A few random students grab the so called ‘spellcaster extraordinare’ and disappear while Shion mutters something about missing the 'poor wittle kitty'. The Headmage keeps his smile on and acts as if nothing happened “Well that was unexpected. I hereby declare that this year’s orientation is concluded. Housewardens, escort your students to your dorms please…wait a minute, where is Housewarden Draconia?”

“Does that surprise you?” The tall student from earlier shrugs while Kalim nods “Wait…did anyone even invite him?” Vil pulls out a small palette and touches up his eyeshadow “If you’re so concerned about him, then you should invite him yourself”. Kalim reponds nervously “Yea, but I don’t know him all that well either…” You take note of their conversation and ponder Why would they so casually ‘forget’ about one of the top five mages in this world? That’s just asking for trouble. Like before, the crowd of students, whisper and mutter about the mentioned mage, “Wait Malleus Draconia actually goes here?” Some ask, “It’s true? I thought my friends were lying!” Others whisper. A deep voice interrupts the gossip, “Just as I’d expected, he was once again not informed that his appearance was required”. Your gaze meets that of a short figure with round crimson eyes. Azul turns to the new figure, “My sincerest apologies, this oversight was not purposeful” You glare at him in disapproval. Riddle speaks up “You must admit, he’s not the easiest person to strike up a conversation with” You silently disagree with their reasonings, as they were the same reasonings as those who excluded you from social gatherings. The figure waves off their comments “No matter, all Diasomnia students, follow me. I do hope that he doesn’t sulk about this”. You feel for Diasomnia’s Housewarden as you follow Riddle and your fellow Heartslabyul students to your dorm. Watching as the rest of the students leave with their Housewardens. Headmage Crowley nods as the students pool out of the room, leaving only himself and the magicless human. “Now, Mr. Yuukuro, as you are without magic it is unfortunate that you will not be attending Night Raven College. Therefore the Dark Mirror shall return you home. Please step up to the Mirror and imagine the place from whence you came” Shion sighs in relief, “Finally I can go home”.

“Oh Dark Mirror! Return this soul to where it belongs!”

The Mirror stares at Crowley utterly unfazed, well, as unfazed as a mirror can look.

“L-let us try again. Oh Dark Mirror! Return this soul-”

The Mirror interrupts him mid sentence “There is no such place”

Shion blanks “Did this floating piece of glass just call me homeless?”

“How can this be?” Crowley says aghast.

“There is no place within this world where this should belongs” The Mirror states finally. The Headmage mutters something about how such a thing has never happened before in his many years of running the school. “Tell me: From which land are you from?” He inquires to which they respond with their land of residence. “Follow me then Mr. Yuukuro, I am not familiar with that place, we shall discuss this in the library. I am acquainted with the homelands of all our students”. “Except for mine apparently” Shion responds.

🃜🃚🃖🃁🂭🂺

Magicless human from another world POV Shion Yuukuro First, I wake up in a coffin, now I’m being admitted to a school or cult, and now this crow weirdo thinks this cat thing is mine? At least the people here are cute…Last thing I remember I was playing Mario Kart with my friends because we were all procrastinating on our homework. Now I’m here, wait…WHERES MY PHONE? I panic and check to see if my robe has pockets, I dig through and hastily grab a familiar object. I pull it out and stare at the black screen of my phone, Are you serious?? I groan “It’s dead…great”. I place my phone back into my pocket and follow him. I walk with my hands crossed in front of me “So um, excuse me sir. What happened?” Crowley turns around and pauses “I have no idea, the Mirror has never before called a soul empty and fit for no dorm”. We enter a huge library, with shelves stuffed with tomes and workbooks. He pulls out a map, “Nothing. Your homeland is not listed on any maps anytime during history. Are you sure that you aren’t lying to me?” I sigh “Um, Headmage Crowley, I don’t think I’d lie about my homeland to get into a random school” Crowley continues “Well then, I suppose that you don’t have any identification with you Mr. Yuukuro?” To which you nod “I do, but my phone is dead, I have my student ID saved somewhere…” you dig around in your pockets “Bro, I only have my phone? I could’ve sworn I had my wallet on me…”.

Crowley stays silent and ponders something, “I see, very well then, it seems that the only explanation is that you’ve arrived from another dimension. You’re in such a predicament, while I cannot have someone who possesses no magic attend my academy. Yet, as an educator, I am loath to expel a youth in such desperate circumstances. Truly my grace is boundless. So gracious in fact, that I shall allow you to take up residency at a vacant building once a dorm many a time ago. It possess much character, fit for an otherworldly student! We shall investigate a method to return you home in the meantime. Dear me, I am a model educator indeed!” I blank and wait for him to finish his humble bragging rant. I feel like I’m going to be led to a shack or something…I think to myself as I’m led to an archaic mansion hidden behind an opposing black gate. “Why does this dorm look five minutes away from collapsing with me in it?” I stare confused. “Now, Mr. Yuukuro-” Crowley smiles and pushes me inside the mansion “You will be safe from the elements in here, now don’t let me see you around campus!” He vanishes in a poof of black feathers, leaving me alone in the barely-standing dorm. Shuddering from the chill in the air I walk over to a couch and sit down as a cloud of dust surrounds me. “I guess this is my home now…” I sigh softly and look down and pull out my phone, staring at the black screen listening to the pattering rain against the windows.

🃜🃚🃖🃁🂭🂺

Kitsune Hime POV “Well that was certainly an interesting turn of events” You smile while following Riddle “Don’t you think so as well dearest Housewarden?” Riddle keeps his pace walking “Yes, L/N, and I do hope that Trey has everything planned exactly according to the rules…” he mutters. You decide to stay with the crowd and not attract attention by not attending the welcome dinner. You follow fellow Heartslaybul freshmen into the Mirror Chamber and onto the grounds of your new dorm. The imposing castle painted white and decorated with bold red hearts rather hurt your eyes, it was confusing, imposing, but interesting. You sit at the table next to the familiar blue-haired freshman with a spade under his eye. Surveying the large table for anything appetizing in particular, you settle for some foreign foods. “I wonder what this is…” you ponder and grab a small dish that looks like a pie, along with some salmon. “I’m pretty sure that’s mincemeat pie uh…” the freshman explains and you answer, “Call me Y/N, and are you familiar with this mincemeat pie Spade?” He shrugs “I’ve had it before back home, but my mom would usually only buy it for special occasions”. “I see” You mutter and start eating. "It's not bad, quite good actually, I am not used to foods from other countries" you admit "R-really Y/N? My mom said that it's good for a kid to be familiar with other cultures" Deuce says confused. "Your mother must be a wise woman" You remark and grab another pie, not noticing his smile. You weren't used to eating food other than Inazuman, since the country's borders were still blocked to other lands. Later that day you, still dressed in your Ceremonial Robes, walked around the rose gardens in Heartslabyul. “Benibara and bara only…what a pity…” you mutter walking through a path decorated with rows of roses. You suddenly hear the soft crushing of gravel under heels as someone approaches “Hm? Are you talking about the roses?” The familiar voice of Riddle asks behind you. You turn around and smile “Oh Housewarden, yes, I’m simply listing off the names of the rose’s species in my native language” you shrug and continue walking along the gravel-lined path. “I see…it’s unlike any language I’ve heard before…” he nods and follows behind you, “My family’s gardens only had flowers native to our land, cultivated by magic, my favorite flora there were the sakura trees. They were my family’s pride and joy…” you admit, bending down to stare at a large scarlet rose. “Forgive my inquisition, but why is it that you speak of your family’s gardens in the past tense?” Riddle asks watching you with curiosity, ”I no longer live with them, my family cut me off” you answer curtly and continue walking.

Noticing the mood turning sour you decide to say something “Now…did you come here for a reason? Or did you miss me that much?” You tease and watch as he reddens instantly and coughs out a response “O-of course not L/N-” You cut him off “Do call me Y/N, we’re closer than simply last names aren’t we Riddle?” He looks down and mutters nervously “I don’t exactly suppose so, but I would not mind that…” You smile at his response and pause, still facing away from him, you pull out your phone and check the time, “Why look at that, it’s almost 10 pm. Isn’t the curfew starting soon?” Riddle’s gaze flicks up “Yes, it is actually, I’m glad that some of the freshman are aware of the curfew”. Getting up from your position you turn around and teleport in from of him “Until tomorrow Housewarden”. You whisper and flick his forehead “Chibi Bara Joō” you tease before vanishing away in a cloud of smoke. You reappear in a familiar hallway and walk to one of the rooms to the side, taking out your key that was assigned to you by the Vice Housewarden Trey Clover. Opening the door to your new bedroom you see a young man sitting on the bed sketching. Sitting on the bed with black sheets opposite to your own, he's dressed in the black shirt and pants that were under the Ceremonial Robes. “Welcome to your new room” he says while you walk over to your bed “Thank you, it’s nice to meet you. I am Y/N L/N”. Not looking up from his sketchbook he gives you his name “Mine is Jayden Portella, I’m from the Sunset Savanna. It’s nice to meet you as well Y/N”.

"I Love You"

When the words "I love you" spill from the prefect's lips, how do the Housewardens react?

Part 2

TW: Kissing in Leona's part, mentions of insecurities (Fluff)

Part 1 (Separate): Riddle Rosehearts, Leona Kingscholar, Azul Ashengrotto

ᥫ᭡. Riddle Rosehearts ᥫ᭡.

Like the thorns on a rose bush, Riddle's words were piercing and harsh. A follower of rules and also a preacher. Even so, what rules could he apply to you? You who was from another world entirely, you who understood little of his world yet were so brave, and you who broke his rules but never angered him. He was so utterly confused. He wasn't sure what he felt, really, you were far from perfect- mother wouldn't approve. Still, he couldn't deny how his cheeks flared up when you walked into the same room, how he'd slightly fumble his words, and especially how his warning were much tame when you broke a rule. It all had to mean something or maybe he was going crazy. How could he like you, even a little- but how could he not?

But he had priorities and you weren't supposed to be one of them, you weren't meant to be a worry, you weren't supposed to be anything. But he cared. So much so, he didn't mind when you broke his rules, it felt right. It was the opposite to all that he was taught, something was amiss. It felt like a fresh breath of air, akin to sunlight engulfing him in a warm embrace. He felt at peace when you were nearby, as if he needn't be so uptight. Maybe it was alright for a few rules to be broken, to enjoy what life had to offer, to allow himself to relax.

He really was grateful for your calming presence, reminiscent to a fresh cup of herbal tea- with a slight hint of cinnamon, subtly spicy. Just like you were, not quite sweet but not sour, maybe spicy was the right term? So earthy and full of life, different from his dull self. But with you near him, he didn't feel so dull even he could be fun- at least you enjoyed his presence, it was enough.

Despite that, you weren't fair- why did he fee so warm when you came close? What right did you have making his face go red and not from anger? Who allowed you to be so ethereal?

It wasn't fair.

How you were so insufferably pretty, and the way you'd willingly spend time with such a hot-head like him, trying your best to follow the rules of his dorm. You'd try to accommodate yourself to him, you'd really do that for him? He could just melt in your arms. The way you didn't mind when he lectured you for your recklessness, not speaking up but simply eyeing him with wide eyes- how was he even supposed to speak? You'd study alongside him, let him tutor you and afterwords you'd always stay for a cup of tea. He got used to it- your company and your mannerisms. Different from him, yet truly appreciated.

It was another tutoring session when something unforseen took place. Your hand was raveled in your hair as you grumbled and groaned, you hadn't expected the study packets Riddle provided to be so difficult. You had a test in two-weeks, it was time you started practicing practical magic, lucky you having Riddle by your side.

It was a tough night full of nit-picking, you'd say he was mean but you could see how he was trying his best to be tame with his words- how they were harsh but not mean, truly, this was also a challenge for him.

Hours went by, the moon rose in the sky and you were a tired mess, at least Riddle's tutoring helped. You were just about to thank him when the words spilled out of your mouth, unknowingly. Sleepy eyes looked up at him while a soft smile played at your lips.

"I love you, you know?"

How cruel of you to simply doze of afterwards, would you not even listen to what he had to say? Maybe it was for the best, if you were awake he wouldn't be able to meet your gaze. After all, his face was even redder than before, butterflies in his stomach as he simply stood there- had he been dreaming? He hoped not, it would be sadistic of life to play such a joke. He only realized it wasn't a dream when your head touched his hand, you were asleep and comfortable- you felt safe around him, trusted him. It was endearing.

Nevertheless, it was improper for you to doze off all of a sudden. But, just for today, he'd allow you- rules were meant to be broken, was what you always said. This was his form of breaking a rule, such a rebel he was. His hand traveled to your face, cupping you cheek gently before he draped a blanket over you- red like roses and Riddle himself.

"I love you too.."

A whisper, he hoped you heard it. Maybe you did and maybe you didn't- he might say it once more, after you awake. Till then, just let him admire you who looked so serene.

ᥫ᭡. Leona Kingscholar ᥫ᭡.

You're really gonna keep trying, aren't ya herbivore? Always trying to push him to go to class, to set his life straight. Really, why do you even care? Every time he pushes you away, orders you to bring him a snack, tells you to remain his pillow. You do it. Why do you stay? No one else would- he's a prince, is that it? His wealth, his influence, the power he holds. Is that what you want a part of? Everyone else had, just to ditch him after.

If you do, he doesn't mind- just stay, please don't go.

He wouldn't admit it but he liked your presence, the way you constantly clung to him, tried to lend a hand to help him who was strong while you were so weak. He might just go to class now, and he does, much more than before. You're a motivation he works for, it brings a smile on your little face. He wants it to stay, he doesn't even know why.

What really affects him is when he realizes, that you stay not for his money, nor his power and influence. You just like him. You enjoy his company, him as a person, an individual. He's not 'the second prince of Sunset Savannah' to you. No, he's Leona Kingscholar to you- not a second option, not someone you'll leave any time soon, and someone you genuinely care for.

Fine then, if his herbivore stays for him- he'll work them. You are a motivation to him, with your sweet words and the time you willingly spend- he too will work for you and be your reason to remain in Twisted Wonderland.

Was it selfish of him to want you to stay, no matter the cost? Maybe, but he is a prince- some habits don't leave, especially not when he's found his reasoning to move forward. He'll change some of his ways for you, it's cute when your face lights up as you notice him heading to class.

He doesn't change every one of his ways though. Why would he, when those ways of his allow him to see your face? You being pulled by Ruggie and towards him to wake him up, and you do- soft nothings spill from your lips as your try to wake the lazy lion before you. Of course he's awake, it's clear he is when he pulls you beside him. His weight stops you from moving, it's a usual now.

"Just stay for a bit, yeah? I promise I'll go to next class after, so just stay with me."

You do, it's comforting but so confusing. It's not appropriate for you to have feelings for someone like him, a prince of another world- you might have to go back to your won, though, you don't really want tot leave when Leona's around. It feels as though you're doing something meant for 'more than friends', something wrong. None of you confront it. It's serene in this silence, his warmth, in his embrace. It's a mutual feeling of safety, a haven. Let it last while it does, he'll make sure it's forever.

"I love you."

And the words spill out of your mouth, no ones near, just him and you. One of his eyes open, a neutral look on his face- you're not sure what to make of it. You don't have to, he's just shocked, not that he'll admit it. He didn't expect his herbivore to be so bold, he likes it, he likes you- loves you too. A grin soon flashes on his face, sharp canines flashing before he pulls you closer. You know what he's insinuating, you abide. He has a hold on the back of your head, hand intertwined in your hair.

It's a surprisingly soft kiss, it makes you want to melt- this is his answer, his reciprocation to your declaration of love. He's too smug to say anything.

Then the both of remain, safe in each others embrace. Your legs are entangled and chest touching the other's, you both relax.

"Love you too herbivore."

It's fleeting words, so soft that you barely heard them and if you did, you're not sure it's reality. As you seem to doze off, there's one thing in your mind. Where else would you go other than his embrace? This was your home.

ᥫ᭡. Azul Ashengrotto ᥫ᭡.

A swindler in the flesh and a contract that binds one to the other. Azul wishes it were that easy, but it's not. The last thing he wishes for is your hatred, you're already wary of him. The interactions he does manage to secure, somehow quite frequently, always render you even more skeptical of him. So guarded and cautious, his reputation's not the best but he isn't a monster, so why are you always scurrying off? Just let him speak, please?

But fate has another plan in mind for you always seem to bump into the swindler that you seem to avoid so- match made in heaven? As if. You won't believe his sweet lies, you won't sign a contract with him- but that's not what it's about. He doesn't wish for a contract, just some of your time.

As your interactions with him increase, you're introduced to very many versions of Azul. Being a swindler was just one part of him, the one that made wary. Nonetheless, he wasn't a monster- quite sweet actually, once you spent the much needed time with him. Words were exchanged, and you were warming up to him, slowly but gradually. Placed on his palm is your trust for safekeeping, you hope he doesn't break it.

As time goes by, you realize the swindler isn't at all what he seems- he has his own walls guarding him, his own insecurities. It's not what you expected, yet it adds to his character- it makes him human, he has a heart. The parts he hides are what attracts you to him- he sees it as a moth to a flame, hiding his failures. Yet, you look at it as a bee to a flower, so dainty a bond but so sweet.

Days go by and you notice how shy he can be, the smallest things can fluster him who seemed so sly. It's endearing, really. Your walls slowly break down, revealing your true person while he allows you to see glimpses of his own self, slow but steady. You don't mind, you both can take your time- walk hand in hand towards trust.

It's another night in his office, spent with him working on contracts. He truly is a hard worker, ambitious too. You admire those qualities, maybe not all the work he does but him as an individual is what you like. You don't seem to notice how the three words roll off your tongue, hand tangled in his locks of gray, seemingly playing with his hair; until you do, in fact, realize.

"Azul, I love you.."

Ink is spilled everywhere, the black coating the table and contracts on it. The pitter patter of the liquid allows him time to realize what you really said.

Those words that spilled of your tongue- so sugary sweet, could it be true? No contract needed, no form of force just his presence alone would suffice? He was enough.

His hand clutched yours tightly, ocean eyes looking up at you from his seat, tears spill from his eyes. He was so vulnerable in that moment, you found his true self as he had found yours. It's a nod from you that shows him that it's not a joke but reality.

"I-I love you too.."

He fumbles the words out too, a faint blush coating his cheeks as he looks away and to the ground. A giggle escapes your lips as you plant a kiss on his cheek.

Maybe the swindler was swindled by your love, except there was no catch- just your love, all for him.
