hot headed confession | sebek zigvolt x reader

summary : a normal morning, a few punches then and there and you and Sebek winded up in the infirmary all alone and not daring to say a word to each other but some feelings buried deep unintentionally made their way out

warnings : reader headbutts Sebek so there's gonna be some blood mention

a / n : I've been reading some Sebek fics lately and since he's my favorite Diasomnia member I want to try and write him the best I can, he reminds me of myself so I'd literally cry if I can't write him well. Now I KNOW Sebek doesn't punch so out of the blue, but the idea was funny in my head

P. S : The chicken pox I have going on right now can only stop me for a little while ( sorry if it's short, it's all I can do for now :') )

The atmosphere outside was nice. It was sunny, birds were singing and you could hear students laughing and joking all about in the country yard. And yet, this atmosphere was waaayy too nice for what was happening in the halls of Night Raven Collage. And that, was a fist fight :

Now you wouldn't normally start a fist fight so out of the blue, and you'd blame it on your super bad night where you couldn't sleep at all! And really, Sebek shouldn't have come first thing in the morning to scream at you so out of the blue. What did he say again? You can't really remember, probably this whole adrenaline thing made you forget, or maybe you didn't want to remember it at all. What you do know is that the fight is still going even now, and man does this guy have lots of stamina. You heard Ace a while ago screaming at Deuce to go and get professor Crewel, he should be here soon, will you stop? Probably not

“You should give up while you can human!” One punch landed on your face “Not until you apologize to me you damn crocodile!” One kick landed at the base of his leg, but Sebek did not falter. He stopped your fist right before it touched his face and grabbed you by your collar “I have nothing to apologize for! It is you who started it so you should stop being so stubborn and apologize to me rightfully so!” “Hah! Rightfully so? Hell no, I don't think so. Let go” His grip tightened “Not until you apologize!” You made a tsk sound “Let me go so I can punch you once or twice, maybe it'll help you lower that damned voice of yours” But he didn't let go, and by his expression he did not plan on doing so anytime soon. You grunted and before you knew it, your forehead made contact with his face hard. He stumbled backwards and fell on his butt on the floor. You heard a few gasps and screams, probably because the ones who were the closest to the fight could see the amount of blood coming out of his ( probably broken ) nose. Sebek groaned in pain before getting up swiftly, “WHY YOU—!” “That is enough from both of you!” Right before he could land his punch and return the favor, Sebek's hand was stopped by the finally arrived Professor Crewel, and oh boy...he did not look pleased. “I can't believe you both! Especially you Prefect! To think you'd start a fight like this... I'm truly disappointed!” “But he started—!” His pointer made contact with your head, not too harsh, but hard enough to stop you from talking “Not a single word out of your mouths anymore. I will get you to the infirmary and then I'll see for a fit punishment for you both. And Zigvolt, don't think I won't inform Draconia and Vanrouge of this” The boy wanted to protest but when he looked at Crewel's expression it was enough for him to shut up and obey. You on the other hand had your head down, looking at the floor, refusing to look at his face. He didn't know why, but Sebek did not like the way you avoided his eyes at all

Later, both of you sat next to each other in your beds, Sebek's nose was bandaged and a tiny one on his leg too. You on the other hand had only two bandages on both of your cheeks. One more thing : you refused to look at each other in the eye, both your heads turned opposite from each other, refusing to utter a single word. In front of you with crossed arms and very complicated expression was Lilia, and surprisingly ( with a very angry expression ) Riddle “Y/N...how did this even happen...?” You realized how hard Riddle was trying to remain composed. It's true you were not in his dorm, but it felt like you were a already member from how much you spend your time in Heartslabyul that Riddle can't help but to respond to your problems like he's your own houswarden “...he started it” “WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO ADMIT THAT IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND YOU STUPID HUMAN?!” “What did you just call me?!!” Lilia shook his head in exasperation and put a hand on both of your shoulders “How about we calm ourselves hm? I think that we should be grateful that none of you broke something while you fought” He smiled warmly at both of you in reassurance before you hanged your head in shame, a sigh was heard from Riddle “If we leave for our classes, do you promise not to trash the whole infirmary until the afternoon?” You looked at Sebek, as did he, and you nodded at Riddle “I do hope you will remain in your word” And with that, he and Lilia went and left you alone, in the silence of the infirmary—

—and it's been 2 hours! You started to get annoyed at Sebek's lack of communication. He didn't utter a single word, not a single insult and if you were completely honest that worried you a bit, what was wrong with him? “You want to uhh...talk about something?” You had no choice but to break the ice yourself “I have nothing to talk to you about, human” You pouted and sighed through your nose. Sebek was always so rude to you and what for? You never did anything wrong to him, you were just chilling and he simply came in barging in your business with a rather loud voice. You couldn't help but think this was the perfect time to confront him about it ;

“Okay I'll cut right to the chase. What's your problem huh? I mean- you've been giving me snarky comments ever since we met. There wasn't one thing good you had to tell me. What's with that? If it's about me being friends with Hornton then just say it. It won't stop me from being friends with him but maybe we can talk it out?” Sebek's eyes trailed to the floor before his cheeks took an almost invisible pink hue to them, “I am saying all this to you because I expect you to be your best version everyday” “Sorry?” “Look at you! Everyday you come around Night Raven Collage with messy hair and bad posture and you honestly look so pale that it looks like you haven't seen the sun for 2 whole years! When I pointed out those things for the first time I noticed you started fixing yourself so I did it more and more until I saw your best version” You looked at him with wide eyes, he seriously did all that so you can be your best version? That's... unexpected. And he said all this with such a quiet voice you'd say this wasn't even Sebek you were talking to if you weren't looking at him right now “Then what happened this morning?” He huffed “I may have gone a little overboard I admit. I wasn't aware of the state you've awoken in this morning. And I...I apologize for it” Silence settled again into the infirmary, you took some moments to take his words in the smiled warmly “Apology accepted, but next time, maybe tell me in a nicer manner? Every time you yell at me I feel like you're going to attack me” “Human! How dare you! I talk to you as nicely as I can! And you should be honored! If I didn't have feelings for you I wouldn't bother so much with the nice talk!” It took him a millisecond to bury his head in his hands after he realized what he said, and your words didn't help him at all : “Y-you have feelings for me...?”

His eyes peaked through his fingers before he looked at you again, “Yes, I do” Your eyes scanned him for any sign of a joke, but again, this was Sebek so you were pretty sure he was 100% serious. You smiled at him again and chuckled “How about this time instead of fighting, you take me out somewhere nice?” His mouth opened but no words came out, he closed it and nodded slowly “Good! I can't wait!” You sat on his bed next to him and kissed him on the cheek before letting your head fall on his shoulder ;

He suddenly stiffened at the kiss but you slowly felt him relaxing again, his own head resting on yours. You suppose you'll stay like this until you get out of here, after all, you weren't hurting anyone

they cast a 28 year old for Tyson 💀

[relevant rants: here and here]

yeah, i saw - i wasn't holding onto hope of them casting a disabled actor for Tyson (still disappointed, just not surprised) but casting a 28 year old for a middle schooler is really out of left field. It's just an odd choice? Particularly given how much they've been emphasizing age-accurate casting so far.

It makes me really wonder what major rewrites they have planned for Tyson's character. Because as things stand currently there's no way to make Tyson's existing character work with this casting. Tyson is supposed to be in Percy's grade, but Daniel Diemer sticks out like a sore thumb against the child actors. Tyson being in Percy's grade is pretty important for the entire arc of Sea of Monsters with the main character arc being Percy combating internalized ableism and establishing him as a character who stands up for other marginalized kids. If they remove that, what's Percy's arc going to be for that entire season? At what point are they going to establish that about his character? Or are they just going to exposition it at us like usual with nothing backing it up and no actual character progression? And in later seasons the age gap is only going to be more prominent - like how is Tyson going to work in BoTL or TLO? Are they planning on removing his character entirely for those scenes? Are they going to remove him as a recurring character in general? It'd be really weird if they killed him off or something.

I'm also afraid for if they do try to keep Tyson's disability coding in some form - cause there's kind of no good way it can go at this point. Either they completely erase Tyson's coding because they cast an abled actor for him and that messes up the entire arc of the book and his character particularly in relation to Percy, or they have an abled actor attempt to portray a character heavily coded as having down syndrome (and i believe they're already doing similar with iirc Chiron's actor is abled but they're doubling-down in the show on Chiron being disabled) and given how they've written the neurodivergence themes (or absence there of) in the show so far there's just no way that'd end well. Like, Tyson's characterization is a little questionable to begin with in the books, but given the show's writing so far it just feels like we're very rapidly ramping up for an extremely ableist characterization of Tyson. Like i'm sure Daniel Diemer is a great actor, but... i'm just getting real tired of the show erasing the entire premise of the series :T

anyways as per my initial post about pjo tv tyson casting theories i guess it's time for me to start tearing stuff apart with my teeth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Eichi gives away the mask so easily because it was never meant to be an "engagement ring" like you delulu wataeis imagined it to be lmao. It was wataru saying that he will continue playing tsumugi clown role in fine and won't leave it for hokuto's mother troupe after graduation. Do you dumb fucks even read the stories? Eichi didn't even understand tf that mask meant when wataru gave it to him and wataru referenced fucking tsumugi in his "proporsal". I dunno why the f you think it's ok to lie about "! EnDiNG wItH wAtAeI EnGaGeMEnT" when the chapter it happened wasn't even close to the end of ep:link. Cope

PS: how do you live with the fact that Eichi clearly admitted to never being in love in his life and Wataru said that even though Eichi likes him, he still can easily discard him for the sake of his objectives?

I love you anon thank you for giving me a nice reason to ramble again beautiful ask 10/10 I'm sorry this is probably not how you hoped this would go but this is such a funny block of text delightful really thank you for the enrichment please marry me

But okay yes now to get down to the actual ask just to disclaim I am solely relying on translations seeing as I do not speak japanese well enough to understant the original text so if anyone has anything to add to this or to correct me on please feel free to do so.

Now to get started I'm not sure if one could say Eichi gave away the mask "So easily" seeing as he claimed that it was "a hard choice to make"? Which, as one might know, implies unease with an idea and pondering and debating and a general amount of thinking behind a decision so? I know this isn't really the main focus of this ask but I'm just a tad miffed with the semantics of it is all. And in either case giving the mask back to Wataru while expecting it back still shows a certain degree of trust in their relationship it wouldn't have been such a big deal for him (as it apparently was) if the mask didn't have a lot of sentimental value to him (the both of them really if we look at the whole exchange).

Now to the claim that the mask was "only" Watarus promise to stay with fine and "continue playing Tsumugis clown role". This is not entirely incorrect. Regarding the acting troupe and staying with fine bit at least.

I'm assuming this bit in EP:Link Deadend/7 is what you are referencing, and I see where you're coming from. But the bluebird line

from literally three dialogue lines further down, which references this line of dialogue (notorious Eichi line everyone should be familiar with)

kind of somewhat really recontextualises that? Because you see this is a reference to a fairytale about a pair of siblings and they get sent out by a nice fairy to find the bluebird of happiness for her sad daughter to make her happy again so they both go on an adventure and travel far and search and search but they can not find the bluebird of happiness and then when they return home again, disappointed because they couldn't find the blue bird, they realise only one night has actually passed and the journey was probably just a dream. But then their eyes fall upon their pet dove in it's cage which appears blue all of a sudden and so they gift it to the fairies sad daughter which becomes happy again and sets the bird free. The real bluebird of happiness is a dove. At least in the version of the story I'm familiar with but I mean everyone sees the symbolism right? It's. very hard to miss.

And then dropping this?

I'm not sure how to say this properly but in the overall context this makes it pretty clear that Tsumugi has nothing to do with this anymore this is Fully between Wataru and Eichi. And I am the last person to dismiss Tsumugis significance in the course of Wataeis relationship as characters I will be among the first to protest when someone dismisses the importance of Tsumugis and Eichis relationship in favour of some image they have of Wataei but he has nothing to do with this one.

Yes Tsumugi gets namedropped but - again - I don't really see how that would lessen the sentiment Wataru is triying to convey here? Because. Yes. Why wouldn't he mention Tsumugi?

The entire conversation pretty much boils down to "Yes I was initially only in this because I thought I could replace Tsumugis role in your life and then I wanted to leave but we have spent so much time together that I realised that that is definitely not working out because I really do love you. I love you as a teammate; I love you as a friend; I love you as a person and I am very angry at myself for not managing to get that into your head. So please allow me to stay with you for as long as you'll have me." And then also Eichi not understanding because he has the emotional self awareness of a very emotionally unaware loaf of bread and also because he hates himself that is a very big thing about his character huge part of his character arc actually that he. you know? Hates himself? And feels guitly for his actions during the war? And doesn't think he deserves love and companionship? Which is why Wataru wanting to stay with him for him and not for some twisted form of revenge is such an alien concept to him? Because he is projecting his insecurities onto Wataru? As one is wont to do when they hate themself? "EiChi Didn'T eVen UnDErStanD WhAt tf ThAT Mask MEAnt" Yeah. That's. That's the point? So he can think about it and come to that conclusion himself which works as a keymoment in his characters journey from hating life and himself to enjoying being alive and wanting to live on because of the people he's surrounded with? He literally explains why he didn't immediately understand the mask during the EP:Link Epilogue/4

And to get back to the "I dunno why the f you think it's ok to lie about "! EnDiNG wItH wAtAeI EnGaGeMEnT" about which I have two things to say:

"Lying" implies further intent and an effort. Neither of which exist in this case.

He literally went down on one knee while making a big proclamation of offering himself to Eichi with a very personal item that works as a symbol for their commitment to each other on a starlit rooftop. The comparison writes itself.

3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joke

And then I expected there to be a proper reason given and instead you proceed to follow that up with "when the chapter it happened wasn't even close to the end of ep:link". I know the shame is on me for expecting something sensical from an ask which has been near constant in it's lack of correct statements but such is human nature I suppose. And you are not wrong. Deadend/7 isn't very close to the end of EP:Link. That is true.

But do you know what Is very close to the end of EP:Link? The Epilogue Chapters 3-5.

Do you know what the content of those chapters is? I do. Very well actually :)

(Eichi literally explains why he didn't get it)

So if this answers your "Do you dumb fucks even read the stories?" questions, Yes. And I think I'm a lot better at it than you. So I'd say I'm coping quite well over here :p

PS: Regarding your PS, I take the "I've never been in love before so I wouldn't know" comment with a lot of humour actually as an aroace person who's emotional self awareness also ends at "good" and "Not good" I think it's very funny all things considered especially because he mentioned the loving Wataru thing several times before that and I'm generally of the belief that actions speak louder than words and also am in a happy long term relationship with the concept of "Reading Subtext". So please excuse me for not breaking down in tears everytime someone reminds me of that one singuar line of text in one of my favourite all time enstars stories that came out three years ago which also brought us the single best card set in the entire game

as well as absolute banger dialogue such as

Among others <33

And there are soooooo many other examples of wataei dialogue that simply make me swoon but I have already had to take out so many of the one's I wish I could put here so this wouldn't get "Do you love the colour of the sky" long

And also, regarding your "Wataru said that even though Eichi likes him, he still can easily discard him for the sake of his objectives" I'll just say that no he absolutely could not. I mean he'd say that and if pull comes to shove and he has no other option then he might seriously consider it but may I mention that Wataru was gone for a few days at most but really not that long of a time during Sanctuary and Eichi stopped considering being a normal rational person that doesn't leave helpless 17 year olds in the midst of a construction site. Very different situation but I feel like it's worth mentioninh here. Another example is Eichis almost not being able to go through with the war because of Wataru. Wataru had to actively come and tell Eichi to go through with it. Wataru isn't the reason Eichi started the war, that is wrong, but he is the reason Eichi almost didn't finish it. and during the war era that was his Main objective. Again I'm part of the fraction "actions speak louder than words" Show don't tell and all that, but even the words are pushing it.

And that concludes my essay :)

"We beg your pardon for our prolonged absence. It was completely beyond our control..." Then adds the gentleman standing by his side, apologizing on behalf of both, offering a genuine smile along with the apology.

"...BUT! We're back!" And hopefully for good this time…
