Sleep Talking - Leona x Reader

The school bell chimed across Night Raven College.

It was now your free period and you decided to spend the next hour among the exotic flora of the Botanical Gardens. You hadn't been there since the Fairy Gala and that was an artifact retrieval mission. Therefore, you hadn't really gotten the chance to take in the scenery. This seemed like a perfect opportunity to do so.

You entered the glass structure; You eyed the hanging planters filled with roses and pansies while strong, stately trees adorn the path you tread. You continued your trek, taking in the calm and relaxing environment; your ears picked up a faint and sort of gravelly sound. 

You entered the glass structure; You eyed the hanging planters filled with roses and pansies while strong, stately trees adorn the path you tread. You continued your trek, taking in the calm and relaxing environment; your ears picked up a faint and sort of gravelly sound. 

You ventured on, the sound growing louder. You arrived at the garden's Subtropical Zone and soon came across the source of the sound you'd been following. Tucked away amongst the shrubbery, is Leona Kingscholar.

"It would be you, wouldn't it?" you chuckled.

You watched the slumbering beast man, his long brunette locks strung across the cool green grass. He actually looked rather cute like this, his ear twitching and tail swishing. You would reach out to stroke them if you didn't know he'd kill you about it.

You saw him stir slightly, a growl passing through his ivory fangs. "Horned bastard," you heard him say. He was surely referring to Malleus. "(y/n)..." It was a surprise to hear your name pass through the sleeping prince's lips. "...I won't let him have have you. You're meant to be mine."

You felt your cheeks flush red at this unconscious confession. Leona's jealousy towards Malleus was vast but you never thought that included having feelings for you. Especially after all the times he's been cold or mocking towards you. Now you knew that it was just a way to hide how he really felt.

Not really knowing what to do in that moment, you simply turned around and went back through the garden. All you could think about for the rest of the day were those five words:

"You're meant to be mine."

Some other Cgs from this update

the good earth

chevalier; 1,282 words, fluff and the barest hint of angst; chevalier agrees to have a picnic, gn!reader

you ask him out for a picnic, and he agrees before he can stop himself. later, he’d wonder what possessed him to entertain such foolishness, such misanthropic meanderings of the mind but then — then you smile, and he puts aside the seventeen things he’s had on his mind and reaches out to help you carry the four bottles of champagne.

by the time you all settle in the rose gardens, clavis is grinning like the devil and chevalier teeters briefly on whether or not to kick him in the shins.

he decides on not as you go about laying out the freshly baked breads and the soft, melting cheeses. there’s jam from the orchards and cakes from the kitchens. chevalier cocks his head as he watches you spread a liberal dollop of creme fraiche on a piece of bread and offer it to him.

“it’s good! i promise.”

chevalier quirks a single eyebrow, smirks, and takes it from you. the cream is sweet and light and tangy, the bread the perfect amount of warm and chewy. he wonders if the kitchens have always been this good, and then he wonders if it’s just the effect of you.

and later, much, much later — when they’ve all had their fair shares of creme and bread and fruits and jam, when the sun is hanging sweet and low as summer berries, the sky painted in languid, lazy brushstrokes of pinks and golds and blistering silver clouds, he finds himself watching you. like he always has.

“you’re staring,” you say, your eyes slipping towards him to catch his gaze, to hold it for a second before it flickers back up towards the darkening sky. up, far, far above you are the first burgeoning sighs of twinkling stars.

“yes,” he says, unabashed in his intensity, “so i am.”

he watches as your cheeks darken, watches as your eyes slowly slide back to meet his again. and this time, he doesn’t let you go. all around you, the other princes are slowly making their exits, their excuses muttered on smirking lips, first luke, then nokto, and finally even clavis, who’d been watching you both with a sharp, rapier-like amusement bows his head and heads back in. you try your best not to blush and you’re unsure if you manage it.

“there’s still a glass of champagne left.”

chevalier’s voice is pointed as always. you turn to look down at the half-filled flute sitting by your hand.

“so there is.”

“come.”

chevalier stands up with a woosh of ghost-white robes and offers you a hand. you regard it for a split second before taking it and letting him help you to your feet.

“leave the mess, we’ll come back to for it later,” he says, as if reading your mind.

you press your lips together but before you can make to follow him, he turns around, his eyes fixed on you as he says —

“bring the champagne.”

you blink. and then, you reach down for the glass.

you follow him to the memorial grounds, the huge marble monoliths carved with the names of all the knights and soldiers who had given their lives for the greater good. chevalier pauses before each with a solemn silence. you follow behind him, unable to stem your curiosity as you watch him.

“graves are for the living,” chevalier finally says as you come to a pause beside him, looking over the vast sunken green field of the memorial grounds, “they’re for us to mourn the dead. those who have passed have no use for them.”

you nod.

“yes… i know.”

“but it’s because of that… that they’re made all the more important,” he says, turning to face you again. there’s the shadow of a smile flickering across his lips.

“go on then, pour the champagne.”

you blink at him before turning back to the memorial grounds and slowly emptying the glass of champagne into the grass at your feet, pouring it out in a steady, horizonal line. a toast to the dead, made for the living.

how fitting.

later, after the remnants of the picnic have all been cleared away, after the glasses have been washed and the fruit pits disposed of. you find yourself watching him as he reads, leaning against the wall of your room, the balcony open against the tepid summer air.

“you’ve never done that before,” you say, without preamble. because chevalier has never needed you to explain to understand.

“hm.”

you bite back a grin, “what’s made you so sentimental?”

the book in chevalier’s hands snap shut.

“don’t asks questions you already know the answers to.”

you fight back the urge to roll your eyes as he pins you with a glare.

“alright, alright — but… it really isn’t like you… even after all…” you motion vaguely at the space between you and him with a faint blush, “all… this.”

at this, chevalier smirks, cocking his head, and you feel your stomach twist into ever tighter knots inside you.

“i suppose it’s because… someone somewhere once taught me that the only difference between a graveyard and a garden is what you choose to put in the ground,” he says, his head still cocked, his eyes cool even as you go ever and ever hotter beneath his penetrating gaze.

you can’t help but blush at his pointed words, but your body is awash with tingles as you finally parse out the depths of his admission.

you’d taught him something.

“o-oh! i — uhm… that’s… well,” you cast about for something to say, something other than oh and uhm. finally, you settle on, “sounds smart, whoever taught you that.”

chevalier’s smirk grows as he pushes off the large loveseat and closes in on the edge of your bed, towering over your as he looks down at you over his aquiline nose and sculpted lips.

“yes. they were.”

he leans down, and you feel your breath hitch in your chest as he presses you back into the soft, downy sheets of your bed.

“s-so… have you thought about… planting some more flowers in the memorial field, then?” you ask, averting your eyes as he crawls onto the bed, his weight shifting the bed beneath you, your traitorous heart thumping up against your chest in ever and ever faster rhythms.

“i have,” chevalier muses, his voice light and unaffected, “i’ve already given the order for it to be done.”

“oh…” is all you have in response, though it seems to please him all the same. you take a deep, steadying breath before forcing yourself to turn back and meet his piercing, star-fire gaze.

“so next time,” he says, pulling back suddenly, smoothing his hands over the material of his clothes as he makes his way back over to the loveseat to resume his book, “we might have a picnic there instead. once the flowers start blooming.”

“a picnic… in the memorial field,” you echo.

he nods, flipping open his book again.

a picnic with the dead… for the living.

you allow yourself a secret smile as you nod, thinking back to that last glass of champagne.

because yes — the only difference between a graveyard and a garden might be what you choose to put in the ground. but says who that life cannot thrive in a place for the dying? after all — graveyards are for the living, aren’t they? and champagne and flowers too.

“yes… i’d like that,” you say, nodding, smiling, bright as bright can be, “i’d like that very much indeed.”

Hi! I love your Genshin fics! I see you posting a lot about LADS and it is tempting me to try out the game.

Is it f2p friendly? Is it very time consuming like Genshin?

dear lord it is nawt f2p friendly if you like more than one character - it really depends on how invested you are in the game imo - ramblings under the cut!!

tldr; not the most f2p friendly - you just need to be strict w diamonds/cards you pull for, time sink would be highest in the first month, then end game content once you start getting to that stage but nothing likes genshin's aranara quest. i probably played around?? three hours/day when i first started lads? which @ launch mind you

if you love dating sims + hack and slash i think its great! i love the current story arcs and the direction the game is taking w its story + characters but i think you also need to be realistic. unlike genshin where i feel like i can feasibly grind out primos via quests/explorations theres not much in lads that you can do once you hit endgame - so as long as you save up your gems for wishes + are realistic about your expecations (wont be able to get every five star, avoid trying to get all the love interests, etc) i think it'd be fine if you can be like, casual about it?

i do spend on the aeurm pass which is just welkin in lads and bc i just pull for raf ive got a backlog of 223 wishes and im currently saving a guarunteed. honestly, you could just do 3 months aerum and then call it a night bc thats like, 90 wishes if you do your dailies in conjunction and its a healthy backlog to have while you play the game. rn the game does give you 10 - 20 wishes during events which are nice so you just need to be strategic

imo i spend signiifacntly less time playing lads then i do genshin bc my cards are all levelled enough and since theres no open world theres really nothing to do post completing all the battles. theres a large time sink in the beginning but once you start getting to the higher level stuff you won't be playing as actively, esp since the story is still in its very early stages. you need your cards to (realistically) only be around lvl 30 to pass the main story stages which would take maaybee two more weeks of grinding? i believe it should only take about a month to hit the level cap (lvl 80 currently) if you do your dailies so yeah. first month is gonna be significantly busier as you learn things but then you can play much more casually than genshin

i only spend hours when im doing smth like clearing orbits (i just finished rafs 112! and thats basically like. idk spiral ig) bc that took me like. three hours today of just doing the stage over and over again so yeah!! if you wanna know more feel free to send another ask lolol thats just my currently ramblings

otome has vines with thorns on her speaker

honobono has a vine with thorns earring

will ichijiku and nemu also include that motif?

personally i’d be a little surprised if nemu’s and ichijiku’s did!!!! they are named after flora but definitely not roses lol but if their speakers do contain plant life themes

from the femme fatale mv, they offer up a decent idea of how they could look tbh lol. the rose trellis element on otome’s speakers were also hinted in that mv so otome at least makes sense with foresight!!!!
