“wahahahahait!” riddle giggles, his defenses collapsing the second you start tickling his sides. you smile at him, chuckling.

“don’t tell me you’re already regretting this,” you say and he averts his eyes, a bright red blush on his face. you had been studying with riddle, your boyfriend, when you suggested a break. he responded that you two had just begun studying and you said that if you made him laugh, he would let you go on a short break. he had no idea what you were planning, but being unable to truly say no to you, had agreed.

“t-thihihis is cheheheheating!” he cried, his arms flailing about, though it didn’t seem as if he was making a real effort to escape.

“i’m making you laugh, aren’t i?” you ask, innocently as you scribble your hands over his tummy, gently tracing around his bellybutton.

“weheheheell, yehehehes! b-buhuhut not lihihike thihis!” riddle laughed, a crooked smile planted on his lips. he was so cute.

“you’re just mad you cracked immediately.”

“ahaham nohot.” you snorted at that, but stopped a few seconds later, feeling that he had had enough. you felt satisfied and positively delighted at how cute and ticklish your boyfriend was. he, on the other hand, seemed embarrassed but not upset.

“so.. that study break then?” you say, when he had finally caught his breath. he sends you a half-hearted glare.

“i think that was enough of a break for you.” he replied, opening a page from the alchemy textbook in front of you. he pointedly ignores your groan, but you suppose he was right. it was quite a pleasant break for you.

Also Riddle and Belphie. My loves

[gay-salt-amber]

rook x riddle hcs?

oh what an odd pair

When he's gone, Riddle will steal Rook's hat and just take it with him, not on his head just, in his bag and stuff, and put it next to him when he's studying or smth

Rook sleeps shirtless. Riddle didn't know that. He fell asleep before Rook and, when he woke up, buff chest in his face, he was so red

Rook also has a very deep morning voice and always says, "Bonjour, ma belle rose" (Good morning, my beautiful rose) and Riddle is so in love but cant express it cuz hes broken-

Riddle poses for Rooks photography stuff cuz Rook thinks he's the prettiest thing to ever photograph

While studying, Riddle will bury his face in Rooks hair cuz its so soft and just study like that

[galacticproblems]

The birthday boy. Be sure to paint your roses red, and put out some tea (and tarts) for him.

[ashieeeesh]

Is everyone's favourite character on TWST is riddle coz i drew a fanart of him, and it keeps getting likes compared to malleus 😭😭

[simping-on-the-daily]

What if in the Overblot Riddle Wins AU or a scenario where they appear again Ridd-blot does indeed follow the 810 rules the Queen of Hearts created,,,, but they're actually not. If 648th rule states that you must brush your teeth 2 times on nights when you eat turkey, Ridd-blot instead says that you brush your teeth twice on mornings when you eat turkey. If you ever point out that he's wrong, dude will freak the fuck out

TWST Incorrect quotes#232 Rose & Thorns

Ace: Once I overheard Yuu and Riddle having a fight that went like this-

flashback

Ridd: Anything that comes out of your mouth is stupid!

Yuu: Riddle Rosehearts

End Flashback

Ace: To this day I still laugh out loud in inappropriate settings because I randomly think about it-

I love Riddle, and I adore the only guy who can tell me what to do(He is the short queen so I must obey)...but it's gonna be colonizer vs Mexico again and I ain't losin-

🚅 Trainwreck | Riddle Rosehearts x Reader

>> requested: no >> a/n: happy birthday @faera-archive!!!

>> masterlist: here!! >> summary: ridde has too much fun spending time with you >> reader prns: they/them >> warning(s): none

Riddle Rosehearts loved you. He loved you so, so much. His whole world started to revolve around you. He started to slack off on his studies, even if it was only by a little bit. He wanted to spend more time with you, promising himself to do his work when he came back. But he always went straight to sleep when he got back to his room, exhausted from having the time of his life with you.

His (almost) perfect grades dropped from 99 percents to 85 percents. He forgot to complete homeworks and both his dorm and he suffered because of it. 

Standing in front of you, he swore it hurt him more to break up with you than you. He suffered knowing that you didn’t know how much his mother would mentally abuse him for letting his grades slip for staying with you. With you, it was perfect. And yet his mother couldn’t care about anything other than grades. He hated that you would cry and sob, probably for days, over him breaking up with you. And he tried so hard to not cry in front of you. But he could feel the tears welling in he back of his eyelids as he said, “I’m breaking up with you.”

And as tears welled in your eyes, you asked, “Why?”

And all he could do was turn and leave you behind, wishing he didn’t have to.

Attention Please!

☾ Genre: Fluff

☾ Warnings: mention of death (It's fluff, I swear)

☾ Parings: Riddle Rosehearts x GN! Reader

☾ Notes: I just wanted to do something fluffy (for once) for Valentine's Day and found a dialogue prompt ("Hold my hand or I'll die") that I thought was funny. Cross-posted on AO3.

☾ Twisted Wonderland and it’s characters do not belong to me ☽

It’s no secret that Riddle worked a lot. His time management skills were near perfect in order to do the workload that was demanded of him. He is a dorm leader and one of the top students in NRC. It’s no easy task to do either of those things, and you know this.

But a few things that you’ve noticed about Riddle since you met him was that when he is focused on something, he will complete his task and then some. As such, he tends to tune out the world around him, especially if he’s alone. You’ve learned that a few taps on his shoulder would get his attention, maybe accompanied by a few calls of his name. Usually, he would stop for a moment, ask what you need and then wrap up whatever he’s doing if your matter was urgent. 

However, you heard nothing from him all day.

Usually, Riddle would answer his phone right away, if not a few minutes afterwards. He would also inform you whenever he was busy to avoid blowing up said device, but he also didn’t do that today. Maybe he forgot and put his phone on silent to avoid his ears from being blasted off in case somebody called while he listened to music, or maybe he saw it while he was busy and just forgot to text you that he was doing something. You don’t know.

What you do know is that you did not see nor hear from Riddle all day, and the first thought on your mind was to rush over to Heartslabyul to check up on him. Luckily, you were greeted by Trey at the door who informed you that Riddle has been in his office most of the day and hasn’t budged an inch since lunch. It was almost tea time. 

You stared at the scene in front of you. Your boyfriend was hunched over his desk in his office, eyes roaming over a report. He was dressed in his dorm uniform though the crown was placed near the edge of his desk, most likely put away after using it for so long. Your eyes zeroed in on his phone face-down on his desk and the earbuds plugged in. So his phone was on silent.

“He’s been like this for a while,” Trey whispered. He had led you towards Riddle’s office knowing that Heartslabyul’s maze of a dorm was hard to navigate. The two of you were standing at the threshold of his office, quietly waiting for the dorm leader to notice you but he didn’t. His eyes were still on the paper in front of him, occasionally marking it. “I’m a bit worried since he hasn’t eaten since lunch.”

You sighed. “It’s fine, just leave it to me.” You looked at the small stack of papers to his right and the larger one to his left. “He’s almost done, so it’s best to wait it out and let him finish whatever he’s doing. I’ll bring him down in time for tea.”

Trey nodded and left the room. You sat on one of the chairs in front of Riddle’s desk and pulled out your phone to check the time.

Four o’clock PM, an hour until tea time. 

You looked at Riddle again but his gaze was still zeroed in on his paper. You glanced at your phone again and groaned. An hour was going to be a long time.

About fifteen minutes in, Riddle had neatly placed the paper on the left pile. You may or may not have spooked him a bit when you waved at him as he was putting the paper down but all he did was give you a gentle smile and nod before grabbing the next paper from the right stack. 

By the thirty minute mark, you were getting tired of waiting for him. Aside from Riddle acknowledging you earlier, his eyes had stayed glued to the paper. The soft scratching of pen against paper was the only thing that broke the silence. Your boyfriend at least had some music but you didn’t, and after worrying about him all day, you had no more patience to wait for his attention. 

Leaning over, you rapidly tapped Riddle’s desk until he looked up. He tilted his head in confusion when you held out your hand.

“Hold my hand or I’ll die,” you bluntly stated.

Pulling out one earbud, Riddle blinked. “What?”

You raised your hand higher. “Hold my hand or I perish.”

His eyebrows furrowed at your antics as he said, “I need my hands to work.”

“You only need one hand to write.” You shook your hand, practically shoving it in his face now. “And I only need one of your hands to hold mine, so hold my hand or I die.”

“You won’t die, if I don’t—”

“I will.” 

Riddle blankly stared at your hand then at you as if reconsidering if this relationship was worth your silly distraction (it was) before sighing. A satisfied smile stretched across your face as you moved your chair closer to the desk to avoid hunching over it. You laid your head on his desk using your other arm as a pillow, careful not to touch any of his work, as you watched him go back to work. Content to just watch him until Trey inevitably called the two of you down for tea.

Ghost Hunting | Heartslabyul x G/n Reader

Characters: Riddle, Rosehearts, Ace Trappola, Deuce Spade, Cater Diamond, Trey Clover

Summary: You go ghost hunting with Heartslabyul!

Warnings: Demons

RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Riddle is not for it at all, only because of the dangers you told him about. He refuses you every time you ask until you say you're going to leave whether he'll go or not.

"Y/n, no you're not going!"

"I am, and you can stay or come with me"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Riddle only goes with you to make sure you're safe and that no one fucks with you and if they do then he can protect you. He, of course asked for Crowley's permission and waited for the go ahead, which Riddle thought wouldn't happen but imagine the shocked face when Crowley said it was fine.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ So you took Riddle's hand as he begrudgingly followed you to the location you had set out to find.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Even though he mainly went to protect you, part of him was intrigued to see what human ghosting hunting was truly like.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Riddle doesn't let go of your hand the entire time while you set up either which is sort of new to you.

"Ridde, love, I need my other hand to set this up. Can you let go please?"

"I'm not letting go, you can set up with one hand."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You managed to get him to let go, but once you finished his hand was connected with yours again, gripping a bit tighter after each evidence provided.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He did find it cute how excited you got with each event going on and all the responses happening.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He didn't show he was cared of the responses, and really he wasn't. He was only scared about your well being.

"Y/n, What's going on?"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Riddle noticed you staring off into space down the corridor of the building you both were in. It took a bit for you to respond.

"Just saw a figure down the corridor. No big deal."

Riddle looked at you dumbfounded.

"NO BIG DEAL? YOU SAW SOMEONE DOWN THE CORRIDOR!"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You looked at him calmly with glazed eyes of tiredness.

"Riddle it's okay. It's the whole point. Also might want to calm down, you'll scare the ghosts."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ That's when he was so over the whole thing.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He laid you down somewhere and gathered all of the things you two brought and put them away. While he did this you said the goodbye message and the mantra of not to attach to either of you.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Riddle picked you up and carried you out of there.

"Come on, we're leaving."

You gave him a pout as you gripped him closer causing the boy to blush a bit.

"Do we have to? Me and the ghosty boy was having fun."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Riddle shakes his head as he rants about how dangerous it was and how lucky you were that he was there to help you.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He immediately puts you in to bed and cuddles next to you feeling so glad that he was there with you.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Sure he thought it was a bad idea but Riddle had to admit that it was fun to be with you and indulge you and your interests.

ACE TRAPPOLA

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He asks you want ghost hunting is since it's not something in Twisted Wonderland that is explored. It also doesn't help that the ghosts show themselves pretty easily

"Huh? Whaddya wanna go ghost huntin for? Ramshackles gotta tun!"

"It's not the same Ace! Or are you to scared?"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ That's how he ended up at an abandoned location, that you of course didn't ask Crowley to go to, in the dark clinging to you.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You tease him about clinging to you but he retorts with "Noo" and "You're the one who's scared".

:🌹 ̗̀➛ The fear dies down a bit after seeing all the equipment you brought with you and saying how much of a dork you are for bringing so many things for something that's obviously faked.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You don't listen to those comments but you explain to Ace what each thing is and what it does.

"This is an EMF meter. It tracks energy currents. And this- ACE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"Nothing, just seeing how this works."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Ace was messing with the motion sensor device with an antenna with three lights. He turned it on and was using it to make a lot of noise.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ It annoyed you to no end and it took you 5 minutes to get it back and to calibrate it properly. But you were glad he was having fun.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ As things start to intensify evidence wise, he grabs your hand and it's not because he's scared, well that's part of it, but its because he wants to make sure you're safe

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You're talking to the spirit through the spirit talker app you got on your phone and it seemed pretty tame. Ace was just watching you do your thing.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Once things start to turn dark, Ace is full on hugging you and making sure you're not to far from him.

"What are you?"

"DEMON"

"Y/N YOU BETTER START RUNNING!"

"Ace where are you going?"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Once Ace heard demon from the app he booked it thinking you were holding his hand.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He stopped about halfway outside realizing you weren't with him.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Ace tries to walk in but you come out seemingly okay and unscathed.

"What the hell? Why'd you ditch me?"

"Because it said demon Y/n!"

You giggle at him

"Just because it says demon doesn't mean it's dangerous. It's okay though, everything is packed we can go home now."

"Nah. Come with me."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Ace grabs your hand dragging you somewhere.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ To recover from the fear he takes you to a decent 24/7 restaurant to chill and relax.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You both talk about the experience and what you both liked about it the most. But for Ace just being with you was his favorite part.

DEUCE SPADE

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Poor Deuce is so confused, like he understood ghosts but like the phrase 'Ghost Hunting' he thinks its something entirely different than what you mean.

"You want to hunt ghosts? Like when you hunt deer?"

"No pft, you're so silly Deuce. We're gonna go look for a location and talk to them."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ After you explained what it was to him, he was hyped because it was something new and from your world.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Deuce went to ask Crowley if it was okay for you guys to leave the campus that and the two of you were shocked he said yes, or did he?

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You both may have ignored him or convinced him to let you two go so now you're in an abandoned dark building setting everything up.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Honestly Deuce is the most trustworthy with the set up since he seems to be taking it pretty seriously.

"So when you move it slightly it'll light up, its really sensitive to touch. Understand?"

"Mhm! Mhm! What about this one? Oh and this? Where should I put the cameras?"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ His excitement was kind of stressful but he just wanted you to have a good time and everything to work well since ghost hunting is sort of a skeptical thing, or so you told him.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Deuce loved to see how passionate you were about this and how serious you were, he made sure not to get spooked when a spirit answered the questions.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Though he was most spooked when the motion things were being triggered. And we would cling to you to no end.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You found it cute, but were mainly focused on the responses of the spirits or whatever was around you.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Once the REM pod went off he jumped onto your back making you fall.

"Ah! Y/n! I'm sorry!"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You giggle a bit as you hold your head making sure you didn't hurt your head to much.

"It's okay Deuce! We can leave if its to much to be here."

"I want to stay because you look so happy doing this!"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You blushed a bit. He was really so considerate of the things you wanted to do with you.

"But forcing yourself in this type of thing isn't good, just tell me when it's to much then we can leave."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Deuce nodded and you two ended up staying for another hour.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You two only left though when you began to feel drained and you had no clue why.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Deuce made sure to put away all the equipment and everything you brought while you said the goodbyes and the affirmations of not giving permission to attach to you two.

"Gosh I'm so tired.."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You then felt yourself being picked up and you looked to who it was.

"Here. Let me carry you, its not good to walk if you're wobbling."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You blushed a bit and nuzzled Deuces neck as he carried you out of the building.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ The two of you had went to Ramshackle dorm first since you were practically sleeping in Deuce's hold. He didn't want to leave you still on account of being sort of paranoid after the events.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ So he'd rather take the hit from his house warden and use the excuse of saying Crowel said it was fine. So the two of you had a sleep over.

CATER DIAMOND

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Cater is all for it. With his camera out and knowing what he wants to do, in fact you'd think he was the one who asked to go and do this.

"Of course cutie! We can go ghost huntin, as long as I can post it and your cute face to Magicam!"

"Okay! Lets go then!!"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You both might as well ask Crowley if its going to be publicly posted where he could see it but you both don't wait for an answer.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Cater is the one with the perfect location since it seems to be popular for the idea of ghost hunting, but you show him how humans do it.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ As you're setting up, Cater is putting the camera's in many different places as well as taking cute pictures of you're focused face. And he posted each one to Magicam saying "Ghost Hunting with my love" and "Cute focus face! <3".

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He shows you each picture and you're slightly annoyed because you want him to help set up, but he swayed you with his charm.

"Cater, if you're just going to take pictures, then can you help set up atleast?"

"But I am helping, I'm seeing if I can get any pictures of the ghosts!"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You just shake your head at him as he keeps taking pictures of you and only you.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ However seeing you more focused after each object being set up put him in the mood to be productive and help set up.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Cater wasn't scared, actually he was holding you when you jumped back a bit feeling spooked

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He'd giggle at your reaction to any form of evidence you two got and would film it. Often teasing about how cute you were when you were freaked out.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Then he started to become anxious when he caught a shadow figure on the camera and pointed it out to you explaining it to you.

"Rah! This is so scary!!"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You look at your dramatic boyfriend giggling a bit.

"Says the one who was teasing me. And its just a figure, you can't be scared of that"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He acts as if you wounded him, but it was all in good fun. He then pat your head as a way to calm himself down.

"Do I have to be the one to protect you know~?"

Cater blushed a bit about how smug you looked and slowly backed up a bit trying to make space between the two of you.

"N-no, I'm gonna protect you!"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You giggle at this and carry on with the reason why you were at this abandoned place.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Cater often held your hand as the investigation went on sensing you were becoming tired a drained.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He decided to end his video there and wait to edit it later, if he was ever going to and just post the raw footage. And he started to pack up.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You were confused as to what was going on, and went to ask Cater but you started to fall. Luckily the boy was able to catch you.

"Gotcha! Be careful Y/n! Don't want you to hurt yourself."

You blushed a bit as you rubbed your eyes. Cater chuckled thinking you looked so cute when you were sleepy.

"Are we going home?"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He nodded at you and picked up the bag of things and you carrying you out of the building and back to school.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Cater holds you close and realizes you are sleeping in his arms. He chuckles and takes you to your dorm.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Cater cuddles you ignoring the fact that Riddle might have his head for it, but anything for you.

~♣️~TREY~♣️~

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Trey was curious to say the least about ghost hunting, but when you proposed it you didn't expect him to go with you.

"Hey do you wanna go ghost hunting with me?"

"Yeah, I'll go."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ In all honesty you thought he would be to busy with school work and vice house warden duties to do anything, but you were over the moon about it.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You two decided to leave Crowley a note since it was late and the man wasn't in his office, and on you two went.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Trey set up most of the things, which you were grateful for, but overall you were shocked he knew what some of the things were even if it was pretty self explanatory once the things were on.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You were stuck in the middle of the room just watching your boyfriend doing most of the work which made you feel a bit guilty.

"Hey Trey, I can help set up too."

"I know, but I don't want you to worry about it."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You're heart warmed at the thought, but you pulled out your phone to bring up the spirit talker app. Trey walked next to you after he was done with everything.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Trey wasn't scared at all, like he held your hand sure but it was to reassure you whenever you got excited from a response.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He smiled whenever you were asking the entity questions and got an answer back, even if there was negative energy there.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ He was there to make sure you were safe and that nothing intended to hurt you, ghost or human or anything in between.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ So he got concerned when you mentioned you heard a voice tell you something and he didn't hear it.

"Trey did you hear that?"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Trey looked at you with a curious look in his eyes, trying to listen for anything other than you two.

"I didn't hear anything love. Did you?"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You nodded vigorously as you slowly felt dizzy. Trey had a look as if pleading for you to tell him what you heard.

"It said that it wanted me to stay."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You shuddered a bit feeling the negative tone from the disembodied voice. Trey noticed your discomfort.

"Do you want to leave?"

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You shook your head wanting to continue and you went off on your own a bit.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ After that he was concerned. He didn't want you to feel like you were losing your mind and it seemed like you were mentally drained.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Trey picked you up and took you out of the building so you could recover as he went back in by himself to pack everything up while you waited for him outside.

"Trey what you doing?"

You looked up to him with drowsy eyes.

"Taking you back to the dorm rooms."

:🌹 ̗̀➛ You shook your head wanting to stay but Trey convinced you to let him carry you outside as you waited for him to pack everything up. Once that was done, he picked you back up and carried you back the NCR.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Trey took you to his dorm and had you sleep on his bed while he took the couch, he didn't want you to feel uncomfortable in your low state. Even though you two cuddle a lot before this.

:🌹 ̗̀➛ Trey did have fun though and learned a lot about some things from your world.

I meant to already ignore this request but then my brain reminded me that NSFW and Fluffy are different things XD

RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS

Riddle does not enjoy a public PDA. At most, he can hold your hand in public (and even then he turns red)

But privately enjoys a lot of hugs

If someone sees when he kisses you Riddle will turn fiery red

and if Ace and Deuce saw when Riddle kissed you they would always tease him about it

Love those mornings when you can just lie in bed and hug you

Also loves those evenings when you curl up on the couch together to watch a movie

Everyone knows that Riddle didn’t get enough love as a child so can privately be very clingy

Especially on weekend mornings when you should get up

I hope you like it <3

REQUEST ARE OPEN

[cursedcola]

A/N: Hi Everyone! An anon put in a request for this but Tumblr was a butt with formatting and deleted the origional post that I had it on. Anon, if you’re reading this then I'm super sorry. I hope you find this post. 

This is going to have 2 parts.

Synopsis: They say something hurtful to their s/o and make them cry. Characters: Ace Trapolla, Jade Leech, Leona Kingscholar, and Ridde Rosehearts Warnings: None Part (1/2)

Read the second half: here

Ace Trappola

"Y'know, I thought Grimm was the slacker all this time but maybe I was wrong? Don 'cha think, Deuce?" he laughed, ruffling your hair in an affectionate manner.

His laughter continued until he realized that he was the only one.  You were uncharacteristically still, and Deuce too stunned to speak. The only give away being the instantaneous shift in the room's atmosphere.

"Guys?...Hello?" Ace arched a brow in confusion, stilling his hand that remains on your head.

In his defense, Ace never thought you to be sensitive or someone to overthink. Before he was your boyfriend, you both were best friends. Playful mocking and quips were natural.

Dating didn't stop the way you both would banter either. In fact, he would agree that the teasing has definetly gotten worse. You have a knack for making quick comebacks and that makes it easy for one joke to turn into an entire comedy act.

It's Ace's favorite thing about your dynamic and he feels comfortable enough to say whatever he wants now. Everything is natural. You compliment each other.

"Dude...that's harsh coming from you of all people," Deuce's momentary shock is overcome by anger, and he shove's Ace's arm off of your head. Ace lets him but not without a surprised curse escaping his lips.

He's confused and nearly bites back when a meek voice beats him to it.

'Why would you say that? You know how hard I studied for this test. You know that this is my worst subject,' your voice meets his ears, and all anger at Deuce fades away. You're still standing as he left you, with hair unkept and in your face from his recent attack.

Ace's eyes first note your fists clenched at your sides, then to your shoulders hiked up to your ears. Your body trembles slightly, and that's when he finds the water droplets pooling at your chin.

Ace never thought you would be a silent crier, like a child holding back tears after being denied a toy at the store. He always imagined you to be loud, and needy, and demanding, and just like him. He wouldn't cry if someone commented on his grades, so he expects the same from you.

Predictability

His complimentary piece

Why? Why are you crying? It's not a big deal, just laugh it off.

Why is Deuce comforting you while he sits here like an idiot. That's his job, he knows you best.

"You know I didn't mean it like that! C'mon (Y/N), I was only messing around,"  he reaches for you again in an attempt to brush the situation off.  

Deuce shouts his name in anger yet it's muffled in Ace's ears. He watches you deflate further in Deuce's hold, before pushing the boy off and bolting towards the nearest door.

Ace...he fucked up

How many times has this happened without him realizing it? Where he's said something that hurt you, brushed it off, and left you to deal with it on your own

Maybe you weren't as similar as he thought

Jade Leech

Jade knows mixing buisness with personal affairs quickly leads to no good. Azul understands this as well.

As a result, all official affairs involving Ramshackle's prefect were to be sorted out by either Floyd or Azul himself. Ever since he became the prefect's partner, Jade was not to be involved in any dealings, contracts, negotiations, or...more 'unique' matters. He is only allowed if their safety was in question or the issue is purely personal.

"Bring all matters to me immediately. Do not engage without my consent, are we clear Jade?" Azul said to him the day your relationship became public.

Not because he doubted Jade. No, Azul trusted his judgement.

This rule was set to protect his relationship. To protect you

Jade is aware that many do not like him; the silent killer with the aura of a true gentleman. His hands are stained black while his brother's are red. At first their prey's focus is on Floyd, deeming him the bigger threat.

They always learn how wrong they are.

Jade does not hide this side of himself from you. If you ask, then he'll respond in kind. He simply does not bring the topic up himself. Some call this lying through omission, he calls it keeping you safe.

The three merfolk will not allow their past or buisness to mess with Jade's newfound happiness. Anything involving their 'buisness,' will be handled as a group, with Jade ensuring you are not involved whatsoever.

This agreement worked for the most part. Especially since Azul stopped doing unsavory acts in the name of contracts.

There was merely 'cleanup' duty. On occasion a student seeking revenge for being duped appeared, and the Leech twins would handle it swiftly. There was never a trick they didn't predict, or a plan they couldn't thwart.

Until one vengeful soul decided to come after you. The unbreakable trio's "weak-point"

Floyd was the first to notice the target on your back, considering he normally clung to your side during the school day. Bad luck seemed to be your new shtick, with many "accidents" happening suspiciously often. Mislabeled chemicals at your alchemy station, a crack in the leg of your desk-chair, spoiled vegetables in your dinner...

Needless to say, someone was out to get you. You were no fool and connected the dots quickly. At first, you believed someone was targeting you for being a non-mage. Yet before you could ask for help, the Leech twins became your shadow.

During they day both boys would be at your hip, and at night Floyd would disappear for "overtime," yet refused all your offers to help at the monster lounge. No, you were to stay with Jade and be a 'good little shrimpy' until Floyd came back.

'Jade...is something wrong? I love all the attention you've been giving me lately, but don't you have work too?' you asked after the third night, wanting an explanation.

Jade expected this. He offered his trademark smile, vague reassurances, and quickly changed the topic while beginning to walk you home. Every time you made an attempt to discuss the issue he would somehow avoid it.

'Jade, knock it off. You know something about all the weird things happening and I want an explanation. Now.' you said authoritatively, digging your heels into the ground and refusing to move until he explained himself.

Between your accusatory tone, persistent behavior, and how long it was taking to find the halfwit coward messing with his personal affairs- he snapped.

"Explain myself? Why should I explain when you can offer no help. Is it so troublesome to remain quiet for two minutes? Why must you insist on making my work more difficult?"  

He spoke with his characteristic smile, eyes closed, and hand drawn to his breast. The smile he gives his patrons, meant to strike fear in their hearts.

"Work? I'm work to you? Is all this just work for you?," you began, eyes welling with tears, "You're so focused about upholding those stupid contracts, well what about ours?! If you're not going to be honest -treating me like some chore- then forget it. Forget it all,"

You barrel past him and into your dorm. On the outside, Jade remains like a statue in front of your dormitory. He did not intend to come off uncaring, but wanted for you to quit prying. If only until you were safe and Floyd found the culprit.

Anger fills him, and he decides to leave you alone to calm down. For now, he trusts the cat will comfort you in his place and that the lurking fae will watch over the dorm.

Disregarding what just happened for the moment, he plans to find the clod responsible for this mess. Burn all his anger, make sure everyone knows who's protection you are under. Then he'll get you to forgive him, somehow.

Leona KingScholar

In Leona's defense, you were not part of the origional conversation. You merely walked in at the wrong time, taking his words out of context

On the other hand, he didn't even try to explain himself when given the chance. You stood there. You waited. You prompted him to continue or at least explain the circumstances of the conversation

"You don't mean that, right?" quiet. Waiting in the doorway, still clutching the knob with one foot in the room. You wanted to run, yet still remained to hear him out.

Yet he let his pride take over, his need to be seen as a superior by his dormmates. He couldn't let them see how much of a lovesick fool he actually was.

It's no secret that Leona acts like a spoiled princeling. He skips classes, talks like he owns every room he walks in, commands his classmates like henchmen, actually has one as a servant, complains 24/7--the list goes on

Yet, he keeps his  position as leader because of his strength. He is strong-willed, intelligent, and will beat the crap out of anyone who challenges his authority. No one commands him.

At least, until you showed up. Now the head honcho has a partner and is 'going soft,'. His underclassmen have the gull to say that he's losing his edge. The fact they would even say this to his face shows how much respect Leona has lost from the rumor

What did you want him to do? He had to defend his position

"Are you kidding? I get a new toy and suddenly you're all bent. Let's get something straight, I don't need (Y/N) and will do whatever the hell I want, when I want. Wag your tongues some more and we'll see if you can make a single syllable after I'm through"

And that's when you walked in. He called you a toy. He said he didn't need you in his life. He basically through your relationship under the bus.

Yet he couldn't take it back. He held his ground, arms crossed with a silent stare of indifference. He couldn't do it with his underclassmen watching. He stayed firm, hoping to explain later despite how troublesome it would be to have you angry at him. Yet he's certain that you'll understand...

"If you don't need me. If it's all a game...then I'll go. I'm sorry for wasting your time, Leona"

You closed the door with a loud bang. Leona felt his breathing halt as all his underclassmen stared at him in shock.

Your tears. The strong scent of salt. He didn't-

"Crap"

Riddle Rosehearts

Riddle was accustomed to attention. Ever since childhood he has consistently remained in the spotlight. He's given speeches, proposed toasts, had hundreds of eyes on him at once. Never has he faltered under their gazes. He's thrived, always having a way to turn the odds in his favor.

"No," one word.

One word destroyed everything. A simple, curt response in between bites of cake.

One response, to a question he barely heard over the pounding of his own heart.

One second, for your light to crumble. For the table to fall silent.

It was the last unbirthday of the schoolyear. Summer break begins tomorrow, and as everyone else heads home you would remain on campus with the headmaster.

The table was alive with conversation, everyone discussing what they'll do during the break. You mentioned working with Headmaster Crowley to find a way home, and suddenly the conversation took a twist. Questions about your homeland, thoughts on what you'll do after returning, and promises to visit.

Riddle lost himself. Since becoming his partner, Riddle had convinced himself that you wanted to stay in Twisted Wonderland. He thought you loved him. He thought you wanted to stay with him.

He tuned out when you began to ramble about your world, missing bits and pieces of the conversation around him. Giving automated nods and     responses.

Then you were looking at him, beaming brighter than he's ever seen. You're rambling, waving your arms animatedly in excitement, you're asking him-what are you asking him? He misses half of it but-

"--right Riddle? You agree, right?” You’re looking at him expectantly, and he panics. 

He denies to be safe, not knowing what he would be agreeing to.

It’s then that the table falls silent, and all in attendance look surprised. Even Trey appears disapproving. 

'What?' he faintly hears your voice crack, reaching over the table to grasp his hand. His eyes widen in a panic and pulls away unthinking. 

A mistake, as you fall more sullen in response. As if he confirmed whatever he denied to be true. 

Tears gather at the corners of your eyes, and Riddle feels his stomach fill with dread as you move to stand. 

“Oh-oh, I’m sorry. Uhm...I guess I misunderstood,” You fold your napkin, gather your things, and sniffle. Yet before leaving, you offer a reassuring grin. One that confuses Riddle further, “I mean- that’s fine. No need to feel bad or anything, okay? I should have asked first before springing that on you. I just...yeah. I’ll see you guys next year if the portal isn’t up, yeah?”

And with that, you’re gone. Grimm follows close behind but not before sneering Riddle’s way. The man in question still sits frozen, unable to comprehend what just occurred or how to proceed. How can he fix a problem he has no idea about? 

“Dorm-Head...normally when I call you heartless it’s a joke, but that? That was cruel, even for you,” 

Panic creeps up in his chest again, considering Ace of all people spoke and yet no one was denying him. He looks to Trey, and in that moment it clicks for the vice-leader what happened 

“Riddle, you denied loving them. In front of everyone. They asked if you wanted them to stay and you said ‘no’”
