#seriously though i did not think it was possible for me to enjoy lilia even more. and yet.

[egophiliac]

still absolutely losing my mind over Lilia

[ryuichirou]

How do you imagine the Scott Pilgrim characters interacted with the twst characters?

Anon, this is such an interesting but complicated question, and I, as always, took it way too seriously lol Both TWST and Scott Pilgrim have so many iconic characters, but it would be impossible to talk about every possible combination. So you know what, I’ll go through the cast of Scott Pilgrim, since it’s a bit smaller… Although I did ended up missing a bunch of them anyway because I didn’t have anything to say or because I simply forgot about them lol

Also, while the image of the characters in my head is all over the place right now with 3 different versions of the story, I’m mainly thinking about the anime version.

Alright, sooo.

The easiest one to talk about is unsurprisingly Wallace lol We like to joke about him enjoying his time at the Mostro Lounge and being a regular customer there. He is loved by the staff and especially by the Tweels and Azul, because he pays well, knows a lot about cocktails, doesn’t bother anyone (he could’ve if he wanted to, but the place is chill, so he behaves even when he gets drunk… just don’t tell anyone that the Lounge has alcoholic beverages now lol). They love him so much that whenever he visits they prepare his favourite spot at the bar for him. They love him so much that they named a cocktail after him lol They also love to gossip- I mean, exchange information with him (there is a sketch on our ko-fi with Wallace at the Lounge…)

Wallace would also probably enjoy spending time with Lilia, I feel like these two are quite a dangerous mix. Are they going to tease someone together or flirt with each other aggressively and end up having sex for some reason? Both, but the order is unpredictable.

But ironically, when it comes to romance and stuff though, I feel like out of all the twst guys the one that’s closer to Wallace’s type is Trey. Trey is such a Jimmy it hurts.

Now, Scott… I look at him and my mind is blank, I feel like he would just be freaked out by everything that’s going on, because this whole thing is too harry-pottery and weird; I can’t really imagine him befriending someone or someone being interested enough in him to even hang out… but at the same time, I feel like Scott will end up fighting all the housewardens for whatever reason. He’ll have more luck with some of them (Riddle, Kalim who didn’t even want to fight) than with the others (Vil, for example), but ultimately everyone wouldn’t know why this fight is happening. Ramona certainly doesn’t know – she is too busy hanging out with the first years, asking them questions about this world. A part of me wants to say that someone would get a crush on her, but these boys are too gay for that…

Stephen would find himself in the light music club, being bullied by the club members (mostly Lilia). They tease him, they torture him by not telling if his music sucks or not… Playing with them is unusual, because his own band’s energy is quite different, but it’s fun overall. If only they didn’t bully him like that..!

Kim is at the light music club too, quietly wishing to disappear and not witness this clownery. But unfortunately for her, Kalim would try to talk to her and just wouldn’t shut up. He just feels like since she seems so quiet and upset (angry??), maybe he could cheer her up by talking about the drums and stuff. In general, he only makes it worse, but surprisingly talking to someone so genuinely good-natured would be a refreshing change.

Matthew is a theatre kid, so sticking him to the Pomefiore people sounds fair in theory (and he would’ve definitely have a delightful conversation about music theatre with either/both Rook and Vil), but I feel like Kalim would’ve invited him to hang out… which means that Matthew is Jamil’s problem now. At least Jamil expected him to be a problem, but he was actually much less obnoxious that Jamil expected him to be, so it was a nice “huh” moment.

Lucas… he is such a Savannaclaw bro, and yet for the most part I can picture him surrounded by the first years, especially Epel lol Oh how much Epel would love him. He would really want to learn some skateboard tricks, and Ace and Deuce too… But I don’t think Lucas is really interested in teaching them, he just flexes for the most part lol

Oh, Cater skateboards right?? That’s perfect, considering he would also try to hunt Lucas down to take a picture with him, but probably wouldn’t succeed for some reason: Cater isn’t really lucky. Floyd would also be around (because Azul sent him to stalk big celebrity that arrived at their school for some reason) but wouldn’t get all the hype. He would be very into the whole skateboarding thing though, he’ll absolutely try to steal Lucas’ board to try it himself. Which means they’re going to fight and Epel is going to watch in awe…

Todd and Envy would also be stalked by a) Cater (he really wants his damn picture); b) one of the tweels (it’s Jade this time). Cater wouldn’t succeed again, this poor guy, but Jade is just unnoticeable and quiet enough to hang around creepily and learn some info for Azul. He also would invite them to the lounge at some point.

I feel like the only company in the NRC that wouldn’t drive Envy insane would be Vil or Jamil, so anyone who isn’t completely obnoxious and is bitchy enough to complain about petty stuff with. And since Jamil is a bit more secretive about his pettiness, Vil probably works better. Showbiz sucks, and certain annoying people from their lives also suck, so…

Todd would have an absolute journey. He could start by hanging out with Envy and Vil, but then, despite loving him to death and all, Envy would politely ask Todd to please go hang around somewhere else for like 20 minutes. Maybe it’s because Vil wouldn’t be impressed with the vegan talk at all… if only Vil knew the science.

It’s honestly surprising just how difficult it is to think about what Todd could’ve done: Todd works in mysterious ways. He doesn’t casually flex as much as Lucas, but he still might end up having a fight with someone. And knowing Todd’s luck, he might do it with someone who is also good at teleportation, which means… Todd, please don’t be stupid, don’t fight Malleus—This is such a stupid combo but also?? Would Malleus be amused by this foolish man? He might be.

But then at some point he’ll also end up at Mostro Lounge and see Wallace… and Azul would have to think about whether he wants to kick them out (he would’ve if it was anyone other than Wallace) or offer them a nice private room at his dorm. Maybe Azul should consider this as some new business model? Because with these two it worked surprisingly well lol

(Todd would definitely miss the opportunity to show-off his bass-playing skills :( too bad, I would’ve watch him duel both Lilia and Jade)

Julie would fucking hate NRC but at the same time she would instantly figure out who the most important and influential people are in here. So, she’d skip Heartslabyul (after kind of befriending Cater for mutual beneficial reasons), skip Savanaclaw (they have a prince, but he isn’t motivated enough to be useful), befriend the Octa-trio (yay more gossip and bitchiness!), befriend Kalim and probably annoy Jamil by this ‘cause parties, she would try her best to befriend Vil, skip Ignihyde (great, more nerds and virgins) aaand she would really want to get closer to Malleus but couldn’t, but she would still manage to befriend Lilia somehow. This girls works the hardest.

Roxie has nothing to catch at the NRC but at the same time she hangs out with dumb boys with anger issues all the time so maybe this is actually quite natural to her lol but she would still hate it and complain about  this stupid place having no girlies. She’ll definitely kick a lot of ass just out of frustration, but then somehow end up befriending someone very random like Jack for example. I guess she would consider him to be the least annoying, but even then it’s not much of a friendship, they just happened to be at the same place.

Or you know what? Get her to Diasomnia, let train with Sebek and Silver. She would be so annoyed with their dynamic, it would be priceless.

The twins would just go straight to Ignihyde and hang out with Ortho. They would really want to see Idia and discuss robo-mechanics with him, but Idia refuses to go out of his room because just hearing that “there are twins who want to see you” is too terrifying...

And Gideon and Azul are almost the same person, so it they would either join forces (while also planning to backstab each other at some point) or compete with each other openly. The first option works better I think lol And unfortunately, they’ll likely learn a lot from each other.

Phantom bride event-Seeing you in formal wear (suit/wedding dress/whatever) Pt. 2

Characters: Sebek Zigvolt, Trey Clover, Floyd Leech

Self-aware au

I do not take any responsibility for you reading this no matter which age group you are from!

WARNINGS: Yandere themes, wounds, marriage, marking, violence, unhealthy relationship

Sebek... Sebek with his loud glory is very loud the second you... WAIT HE IS SILENT??!

Yes, I have to congratulate you because from now on you aren't “just” the Overseer but also Sebeks pacifier in human version

What am I supposed to say? You look dashing darling!

But, lets be a bit more critical of the situation than just “a dream come true-bla bla”

This is the self-aware au, what did you except? Unicorns and rainbows?

So Sebek sees you, and already remembers the lessons which Lilia gave him as a child on how to court someone

*Sigh* and if you know anything about Fae in the self-aware au courting someone (doesn't matter if he is only half one) them that it's a bit... uh... unhealthy? Toxic? Overall not good? (I seriously can't find words for this)

So Sebek remembers, and he remembers that despite there being so many differences between his mother and father (like everything) their marriage is a dream come true for them

The silent Sebek is way scarier than our usual loud one because you know, if he's silent then he is thinking a lot

And we don't want them to think too much because who knows with what they will come up with

So here is the plan, he will *ahem* “court” you (in truth it's just very glamorous kidnapping), marry you and will make sure that you are so “happy” that you will never want to leave

You see where I am going with this?

The princess can be happy that he is so deep in thought and frozen or otherwise he would be challenging her to a duel with real swords and even though Lilia says they are still inexperienced I'm sure those arms can do some serious damage, ghost or not

Your best option is to ask Lilia for help here (*gasp* I know) because as much as he loves Sebek and Silver, only his obsession with you beats Malleus wishes

So yeah, you have the choice between a very old, wise, and probably OP fae who will never let you go again and a half-fae who will destroy your eardrums with every single word they say

Not the best options but would you rather die from that kiss?

Kind Trey who looks out for the freshmen is suddenly not so kind anymore

It's really hard to see but look into his eyes while he stares at the ghost. You see that bloodlust? Yes, that's him

You see, I think Trey is one of those that believe in eternal love between married partners so this sight of you makes his happy beyond possibility

But then he remembers that 1. He is not the one you swear your undying love to and 2. This all should belong to HIM

He is always smiling, always there to lend an ear others and this is the reward for all of that??!

Be is mad and believe me, I am genuinely scared of people who smile so much like he does because these people who are the scariest when they snap

And he will snap. 100%

Twisted Wonderland is a world filled to the brim with magic, you can't tell me there aren't spells which can be used to exorcise ghosts

He makes reminders in his head right now to find one once he is free and then get rid of that pest

At this point you shouldn't ask for her hand but ask her to take her stuff, leave Idia behind and start to run

There is no amount of guards which could stop Trey once a certain point is reached and that point isn't just stepped upon but flung into the nether

On a lighter note, the wedding cake at your and his wedding will be like the Mona Lisa of cakes

And also, no one besides you, him and someone who is needed to make the whole thing final will attend

Why? Well, he already got “your first” stolen so he will make sure that no one can “steal” the sight of your second from him

Mhm should have left the whole thing to those who aren't called “Overseer”

But what can I say? Enjoy the cake? Because I know that it will taste divine

This one is screaming the whole time

No, I'm not joking, he will scream and bite anyone who tries to make him shut up

Poor eel is so helpless that this is his only defense

But unlike the others before, he does actual damage

You have ever seen those teeth??!!

Floyd wanted to be the one to marry you and not some... some... spoiled princess!

His entire life he looked up to you hoping to have the slightest chance to be noticed by you...

and then some blue wannabe princess takes that hope from him

It seems like the friendly approach doesn't work

The second he is free he will snatch you up and make you drink that potion he once stole from Azul

What it does? Oh well you know, just shackling you forever to the ocean so you could never escape him

But that is just one part

The other is him making sure that everyone knows you belong to him the second they lay eyes upon you

So what does he do? Probably not something you would suspect but... those teeth....

You have a pretty neck and shoulders dear, a but too unmarked for his tastes

You catch my drift, right?

So yes, be prepared to feel more like property instead of a person because that is your life in a nutshell from that point onwards

‘Falling’ - Regulus Black x Original Female Character (Part 9)

Description: Sometimes the most unexpected friendships become the ones that mean the most. This was true for Lilia Arianwen Llewellyn and Regulus Black. A pureblood Slytherin from a noble family and a half-blood Gryffindor who’s wizard father fell for a muggle. After maintaining a secret friendship from their third year which began to fade at the end of their fifth year, the pairs return to Hogwarts for their penultimate year will change their lives forever.

Warnings: Angst, swearing, discussion of beliefs, mention of abuse but only the once & not graphic - this is a bit dialogue heavy so apologies if you're not a fan of that

-

Silently and slowly, I slipped out from the confinement of my bed. Hours had gone by since I last met with Regulus and I hadn't been able to enjoy the second kiss we had shared as I was now overcome with worry for what he was going to tell me. I'd gone through every possible scenario I could think of and thought through how I would react but I still felt at a total loss about the whole situation.

'Lilia' I heard Regulus whisper and I slipped out from behind the portrait. He looked as handsome as ever, stood in a pair of green tartan pyjamas which drew a small giggle from me. 'I knew you would laugh at them' he jokingly whispered whilst reaching out to take my hand, intertwining his fingers with me. Not giving me time to stand and blush over the small affection, Regulus began our journey through the winding passages of Hogwarts to the Room of Requirement.

The Room of Requirement had been completely different every time I had gone inside it. In contrast to the party held there last weekend, tonight it revealed a much smaller space, the feel being very much like a living room or a common room, there were even two mugs of tea awaiting on the table. I took a seat on the chair watching as Regulus moved to stand in front of the fire, watching the flames dance within.

'Regulus' I whispered to catch his attention as I drew my knees close up to his chest. When he looked at me I could see the different emotions he was feeling cast on his beautiful face. Sadness, nerves, anger and regret.

'Ohh Lilia' he cried as he joined me on the sofa. 'I need you to promise me something before we say anything else tonight'. The seriousness in his tone made me feel slightly sick. It was a big promise to make without knowing any information but when I looked at his face and saw all those emotions, he reminded me of a small scared child. 'What do you want me to promise you? I asked and he took a deep breath. 'All I need is for you to promise that you will not share what I am about to tell you with anyone' I nodded my head slowly at him 'that you will wait for me to explain it all, and then that you will still be my friend once the night is done'. 'I promise Regulus' He let out a sigh of relief and began to rub his hands together nervously not baring to look at me. Leaning forward I pressed my hand onto his knee and circled my thumb, I did this in hope of easing his nerves or providing some form of comfort.

'I know I do not need to explain to you what my family are like, I'm sure if you asked your father about the Black family he would have some choice words to say. Stuff hasn't been right at home for a while, since Sirius got housed into Gryffindor actually. I remember the first time he came home after being sorted the beat him, it was so bad. I was so scared that I wouldn't be put in Slytherin and they would do the same to me. Though I hate to admit it, I love my brother, I admire him in so many ways. He really always deserved to be in Gryffindor, he's brave and I envy that' Regulus poured out and I gave his knee a small squeeze. 'I'm sure that would mean a lot to Sirius if you ever were to tell him' I uttered softly but Regulus shook his head before continuing.

'As I've gotten older I've realised the importance of who you surround yourself with. Until coming here when I was 11, I had only ever listened to my parents views adopting their beliefs without really thinking about what I actually believed. So then when I got sorted into Slytherin, surrounded by other kids who's parents had done the same those beliefs were only further enforced because I didn't want to be the odd one out. Sirius got to be with friends who came from different walks of life and who's families believed different things which caused him to question things but because everyone in Slytherin thought the same as me I never questioned any of it' I hummed a small sound just so he was aware I was still following. However, I don't even think he'd have noticed if I wasn't.

'See when my parents used to ridicule Sirius for the way he looked at other people and the world I would agree, because really thats all I'd ever known. But then I met you, in third year and I was intrigued despite in the back of my head feeling a certain way about someone like you, I mean no offence by that' He quickly defended, breaking his stare to look and me and I let out a soft laugh 'None taken, please carry on'

'The more I spoke to you the more I thought how the people I had already spent years hating weren't so bad. As we continued to meet up I felt this hatred dissolve. When I went home for Christmas last year, Sirius had wrote to my parents to tell them that once summer began this year he would not be returning home. They were furious. We have a family tree pained in our house and they burnt Sirius face out of it. Once the anger was over, they kept telling me how bad Sirius was and how he had disgraced our family name. At the time I was angry with Sirius for doing this to our parents, I knew they had never fully seen eye to eye but I thought this was a step too far. With the anger for Sirius, my anger towards Gryffindors or anyone who wasn't a pureblood began to grow again. I just thought, that, that maybe if things were different and everyone was the same as us our lives would be a lot happier.' Regulus explained not looking up at me. I couldn't tell if this was because he was getting upset or because he now felt guilt, possibly it was both.

'I was so angry at him Lils, so so angry, for leaving me in that house with my parents. This hatred made me want to get back at him, I also wanted to prove to my parents they had a son they could be proud of and who was like them' His voice began to break and I could feel his legs slightly begin to shake so I gave his knee another firm squeeze. 'I think I may have taken it too far Lils'.

I sat in shock as I watched Regulus break down into sobs in front of me. My mind was still processing the information he had just delivered to me, still clueless as to what it was he had actually done. I scooted closer to him on the sofa, tangling our legs together as I reached over to rub his back for comfort.

'Reg, what did you do? I can't help if you won't tell me' I whispered to him as he continued to sob and I heard him manage to get out 'it's so bad'. My stomach turned, really not knowing what he would say next and some of me not even wanting to know. But, I had come this far and it was apparent he really needed to speak to someone about this. I continued to rub his back, soothing him as he cried and feeling an air of sadness run through me as his hand gripped at my cardigan. Slowly, his cries began so die out and he was composed enough to continue.

'At the time, I thought this would be the ultimate way to get back at him but I regretted it the second I done it' Regulus explained as he let go of my cardigan and began fiddling with the buttons on the one sleeve of his pyjamas.

The gasp escaped my lips before I even had the chance to stop it, hand flying up to cover my mouth as I moved back slightly in my seat. As Regulus lifted his sleeve he revealed something that looked almost like a tattoo, however, as I looked closer I became fully aware of what it was and why it was so awful. I felt the colour drain from my face as I looked down, seeing a skull with a snake winding through it. We had been informed of these in our Order meetings although until now we didn't know if it was one hundred percent true or just a rumour. It had been spread that those who had pledged full allegiance to Voldemort had been given a mark so it could be easily distinguished between them if someone was on their side or not. The Dark Mark.

'Oh Regulus' I managed to get out though it was barely audible through my hand. Regulus slowly shut his eyes, letting one more stream of tears fall before putting his head into his hands. 'I know, I'm so stupid' he cried out as I remained sat in shock. 'As soon as it was on my arm I knew I was stuck in it now. Thats why I behaved the way I did when we got back after Summer. I'd told myself that even if I was unsure I'd have to do it because its's too late for me now, its done'. Regulus continued to sit with his head in his hands as I tried to figure out what to even say. Removing my hand from my mouth I placed it on my lap.

I didn't know what to say to him. It was a strange feeling cause I really really felt sorry for him, for so many different reasons, but I also felt angry and so hurt. 'So what's your stance now?' I asked and his head snapped up, like he'd almost forgotten I was even there.

'What do you mean?' He asked hoarsely as he looked up at me. 'You know what I mean, do you still support him?' I asked again, my face shielding any emotion I was feeling because I, myself didn't fully know how this made me feel.

'I don't know' I sighed at his response and he reached out to put his hand on mine. 'No, I know deep down I don't support him but it's too late now, you can't just stop supporting him it doesn't work like that' Regulus explained as if I was a child and I rolled my eyes and started to feel myself getting more irate.

'Maybe you should have thought of that before you did something so stupid, you're only 17 for fuck sake' My tone came out a lot harsher than I was intending and I instantly felt bad when I saw the look on his face but I couldn't help but continue. 'So what were you gonna do when it all reached boiling point and we're at a full war? would you try and kill me?' I asked angrily and he let out a gasp as I pulled my hand out from under his.

'No, Lilia, I would never, I can't believe you would even suggest that' Regulus defended as he sat up more on the small sofa. 'I can't believe you would join a side where that is their main aim' I argued back, a stinking look on my face as I stared at him. 'I didn't at the time think it would be to that extreme, I thought he just wanted to encourage blood purity which is something my family have always valued' His attempt to explain was pathetic and I found myself rolling my eyes yet again.

'Why is blood purity so important to your family and his followers? It's such a stupid thing to be so obsessed with.' 'Because if we are to keep reproducing with muggles then generations to come could lose the ability to do magic'. The laugh that left my mouth after he said this dripped in venom.

I'm literally better than you at every subject, Lily Evans is probably one of the most brilliant witches that will ever live, Remus Lupin is a half blood and he's insanely intelligent. How can that ideology make any sense to you or anyone for that fact. Magical ability has so little to do with your blood status and everything to do with so many other factors' I ranted at him using my hands as I expressed myself to display the frustration he had made me feel. He went to speak but I was quick to continue on my verbal rampage. 'Just because you were born to two magical parents doesn't make you any better than me. Thats the problem with Slytherins, you'd rather walk around pretending your some sort of magical gift and terrorising good people than actually put some effort in to your work. Half bloods and muggle borns have to work ten times harder than pureblood yet we're the ones who get shit on constantly' I let out, my octave rising higher with each sentence as I felt years of pent up rage against this argument seeping through my body. I became more annoyed as I just watched Regulus staring back at me dumbfounded. 'If you've got nothing to say I'm going to bed' I snapped whilst lifting myself off the sofa only to feel a tug on my wrist pulling me back down.

'Please don't go Lilia' he begged, not letting go off my wrist. I laid my head back on the sofa and let out a deep breath. 'Why have you told me this Regulus?' I asked, turning to him with glassy eyes. 'I guess since I did it and started regretting it I wanted someone to be honest and tell me I was wrong and you are the only person who will help me and do that' He admitted, moving his hand from my wrist to intertwine his fingers with mine. I sadly looked down at where our hands connected not knowing what to say or what to do and I guessed Regulus could sense this.

'Look, if I didn't regret it and wanted to keep supporting him, I wouldn't have told you but I have, I want you to help me change Lilia, I want to get out of this, I mean it.'

Hello! IDK if this has been asked, but... How would the dormitory leaders react when they and s/o got the main roles for the annual theater play? And it's romance with the kissing at the end of the play~ ❤

I can totally see Vil being so into this! Thank you for your request~~! ❤

🥀 for sure Cater will be in the first row filming the whole play and zooming on kissing scene and then sending it to literally everyone (rip Cater Diamond, you will be remembered)

🥀 Riddle simply turns into red, flustered ball on emotions. Which you think it’s kind of cute. It will take a lot of time to convince him to actually agree and prepare for the role, 

🥀 at first he’s completely against whole idea. Sure, he is flattered and proud of himself (and you) for getting a role in the annual theater play, but deep down Riddle is insecure. He’s not sure whether he can portray the character right,

🥀 oh and the mere thought of kissing you in front of whole school makes his already rosy cheeks even redder than usual,

🥀 so you two end up practising mostly the kiss, cause each time your lips linger a bit closer to his, Riddle’s cheeks flush rosy color and his whole form melts,

🥀 which you think it’s cute, but you both know that absolutely cannot happen on the stage

🥀 and yes, Cater coos how cute you both are and offers some acting tips,

🦁 the annual theater play, huh? Certainly not interested, would muttered Leona while turning on his back to continue his nap peacefully,

,,Y’know, it would be a real shame if Malleus got the role of the prince” “yhm, I don’t care” “there’s a kissing scene, y’know?” “WHAT, THIS IS MY ROLE”

🦁 absolutely doesn’t mind kissing scene, instead Leona insists on practicing it few times. To make sure it’s perfect, as he would playfully say, 

,,We can’t practice this one scene all over again. Did you even learn the script?” “We have a script?”

🦁 you and Ruggie has to literally drag his lazy ass to rehearsals, since Leona wouldn’t even bother attending them,

🦁 surprisingly, he’s amazing on the stage (when he actually puts some effort in his acting). Needless to say, he did steal the show,

🦁 how Leona managed to learn his parts and actually steal the whole show is still a mystery to you and Ruggie

🦁  little did you know, that he actually practiced in secret, without telling anyone as if he wanted to keep up his “cool aura”

🐙 wishes you all best, but he politely refuses to take part in the play. Even your pleading, puppy eyes aren’t sufficient to convince him. However, dating Azul taught you one thing – everything is possible if you know person’s deepest secrets

🐙 so you blackmailed him with slight help from Jade (Floyd won’t ever shut up about this),

🐙Azul has never ever in his octopus life felt that stunned. The way his eyes widen when you presented the conditions, was almost hilarious to you,

🐙 you enjoyed this way too much,

🐙probably one of the few who actually learned the whole script and practiced it every evening before going to bed. Once Azul sees that there’s no turning back, he will do everything to thoroughly prepare himself and steal the show,

🐙 insists on you two practicing after lessons and you happily oblige,

🐙 Azul denied the role at first, because he was simply insecure and anxious. The mere thought of kissing you in front of whole school where the eyes of every student will be all over you two, is simply paralyzing to him. Besides, he has a certain image of callous and meticulous businessman to maintain,

🐙 he will definitely get nervous few minutes before the start of the play. Azul’s heart will be racing, while he would be sweating and heavily breathing, but the moment your hands gently cup his face and your sweet words leave your lips, his body slowly begins to relax, 

,,Don’t be so anxious, we had practiced it. It’s gonna be alright” “Y/N, I think we should practice this kissing scene one more time”

🦂 when you two got main roles in the annual school musical, you both were on cloud nine. Literally. Jamil had to listen to you both fangirling over it for almost a whole night, 

🦂 Kalim is extremely, extremely, extremely excited and he’s beaming with happiness. He defintely thinks you’re both are made for the roles and he will put his heart into acting, singing and dancing, 

🦂 well, the preparations may be a tad bit sloppy, yet you both don’t complain. The evenings spent on singing nice tunes, learning lyrics together, practicing choreographies and finally acting out few scenes is very enjoyable to Kalim (and of course you), 

🦂 Kalim is rather giddy about kissing scene. Well, he certainly doesn’t mind it! No, no, he’s actually more than happy to kiss you in front of whole school. This man knows no shame, 

🦂 rehearsals are chaotic. Well, the rehearsals your duo does, at least. During practices with the rest of students and teacher, suddenly you two are dead serious and focused on getting the notes and script right, 

🦂 the duality sometimes scares Jamil, 

💜 did someone say theatre play? Main roles? And on top of it kissing scene? And the male lead is not some sexy vilian? Vil is ceratinly in,

💜 he knows exactly what he’s doing and what you’re supposed to do. After all, his acting skills are simply splendid. Vil is more than eager to help you out, 

💜 you two practice the script a LOT, acting out every single scene multiple times, just so you can ace it. He is rather strict as a partner/acting teacher, but you are aware that Vil just wants to make sure everything will be perfect and you will present yourself as best as you can,

💜 you find Vil’s advices extremely helpful and after a while you begin feel confident in your newly acquired skills, 

💜he is not nervous before kissing scene, bah, he brushes it off as if it was something normal or regular in his life. Meanwhile, you are freaking out and screaming internally, 

💜 which makes Vil amused and he may tease you a LOT, insisting to practice the kissing scene. His lips will playfully brush against yours for a brief second, before he pulls away with a smirk, while you can only pout and die from feels, 

🖤 panic mode 10000000000. Idia is absolutely terrified when you tell him the “good news”,

🖤 give him literally 5 minutes and he will have his suitcase packed, booked flight to “Nope-land” and would be on his merry way. Idia is screaming internally as that’s something definitely out of his comfort zone,

🖤 he absolutely hates speaking before a big public, yet alone acting and the mere thought of having a kissing scene with you is more than enough to give him a heart attack. He certainly doesn’t want to disappoint you, since you’re so excited to take part in school play with him, yet it’s a matter of time before Idia politely refuses,

🖤 you don’t push him though – you do respect his boundaries,

🖤 however, when Idia proposes to either clone or create a hologram of himself for the play, you are just speechless and it’s your turn to politely refuse,

🖤 as much as Idia hates the mere thought of you kissing someone else, he won’t change his mind (he may suggest Vil to play the other main character tho)

🐲 Malleus is stunned and speechless the moment you tell him that you both got the main roles,

🐲 he’s even more stunned and speechless when you shyly mutter that it will involve the kissing scene,

🐲 Malleus has never really taken part in theatre play, yet alone displayed his affection (or more like affection of his character) for you in front of such crowd. Obviously, he hesitates, but your excited tone of voice and eyes filled with pure happiness were enough to convince him,

🐲 Malleus takes his role rather seriously and he prepares himself thoroughly – he knows the whole script by heart and could describe every detail of random scene in the middle of the night,

🐲 you are definitely more nervous than Malleus before kissing scene. He seems as stoic and collected as always, while you may be screaming internally,

,,I think we should practice this scene more” “I have kissed you more than 10 times already, darling. I may start thinking that this is just a mere excuse for you to kiss me, huh?” “That’s…that’s…THAT’S certainly not true Malleus!”

🐲 guaranteed that Lilia will be in the first row with a camera, while Sebek will be taking ton of pictures (and yeah, Silver is asleep per usual). “You’re doing great, sweetie” along with “Waka-sama hype man”  will be a perfect addition to the theatre play,

At least the spread wasn't all Jamil's cooking. He might cook like a god, but he needed a break sometimes, and takeout can be fun.

"Alright, so when he pumped the blood through the tube, it was supposed to come through in like, a steady stream, but he'd fucked up. So there were bubbles in the tube, but when you filmed it? it came out realistic-"

"I can confirm that."

"Lil, no."

"Lil yes." He sipped at his drink. "We should probably stop this conversation before they lose their lunch."

"Aww, why." The sarcasm was barely audible, but you couldn't help but smile at Cater and Kalim. Cater was the better of the two; Kalim had gone downright ashy from shock. You shuffled through the cans by the table before sliding him a ginger ale. "For your tummy, baby."

"Thank you." His colour had bounced back well before he took a sip. "You sure like telling stories about blood."

"No, that was about practical effects. I can start talking about blood if you want." You leaned your head back. "What do you think? Should I?"

Idia, who had been using you as a human shield ever since you showed up, shook his head and went back to ripping bread into increasingly smaller pieces before eating them.

"Yuu, look at this." Cater passed you his phone. The carefully staged, enstickered selfie of a Magicam influencer, with bouncy curls and double-peace signs.

"Oh, she's cute. I love her earrings." You held the phone up long enough for Idia to nod at with a small smile, before it got passed around for everyone to coo over. "You interested in her, Cater?"

"Ah, some. We've been chatting." He looked a bit dreamy, thinking on it. "We're going to try and meet up next break and see how we like each other in person."

You smiled. "Good luck, dude. She's definitely your type."

He laughed. "I do like them very cute, don't I?"

"You do, yeah." You turned to Kalim. "What do you like in someone? You probably have a type."

Kalim leaned back and thought on it. "I really like... Shining dark eyes and silky flowing hair."

You managed to disguise a snicker as a cough. "Tall and elegant, too? Always looking out for you?"

He looked up in wonder. "How'd you know?"

"Just a guess."

Lilia chimed in, full of mischief. "What about you, Idia?" You felt him stiffen in surprise against your back. "What do you like?"

"He likes 2D girls." He immediately swatted you.

"You're not 2D. And we know your type." Lilia narrowed his eyes at you. "Tall and pale and interesting looking."

"One of many." You leaned back, and Idia immediately wrapped his arms around your waist, audience be damned. "And who could blame me? Look at him."

"Please don't." He tried to scrunch behind you, but even if you were wider, he was much taller and couldn't fit.

"Aww." Cater had such a warm smile on his face. "Love at first sight?"

You shook your head. "You have to work for love. But," You looked back at your pretty blue boy, holding you tight even as he looked away in embarrassment. "The first time I saw you, it was like you snatched the breath from my throat. I'd never seen anything so beautiful in my life. I never even imagined anyone could be so beautiful." You leaned to nuzzle the spot where his jaw met his neck, and he swallowed. "And lucky me, it's the same every time I see you. You're a blessing on my life, and every day you look at me and smile makes everything worth it."

The silence was broken by Kalim giving a light sniffle. "That's beautiful, wow."

"Way to set the bar, Yuu." Lilia had his head propped in his hands. "So, was it mutual?"

You laughed. "I don't think so." You settled back into Idia, bright burning pink. "What did you think of me when you first met me?"

"..."

"Idia."

~*~*~*~

Your name is IDIA SHROUD. You're a THIRD YEAR STUDENT at NIGHT'S RAVEN COLLEGE, and everything is TERRIFYING BEYOND MORTAL KEN. You suffer from the effects of a TERRIBLE ANCESTRAL CURSE, which makes the already fraught experience of high school JUST, SO MUCH WORSE. The only things you truly enjoy are MEDIA OF A GEEKY NATURE and your MAGITEK LITTLE BROTHER. If it were up to you, you would BRICK YOUR DOOR SHUT AND NEVER LEAVE.

But, tragically, you sometimes must leave and face the mobs outside. At any moment, you could aggro them all with the sheer sin of your terrible presence, and the teachers had no sympathy for your low-tier, introverted self, and insisted that you had to show up to some classes in person. Even though telecom had come so far! You'd think you'd have pull, with your grades, but it was not the case.

Anyway, some first years had crashed a chandelier within days of being here, and you'd only found two to tell to leave you alone forever. When you found the two boys standing with a third, holding perhaps the most wonderful creature you'd ever seen in your life, you went over to explain how it was going to go. Only it didn't turn out like that.

She - what a cliche, the new student at a one-gender school being the opposite - turned to look at you. Enormous puffy eye circles that rivaled your own, close-cropped dark hair, eyes of no particular colour, all in a soft, pimply face with a double chin. This was the one that caused all the trouble?

Her smile dropped away immediately, replaced by wide eyes and slack jaw. She didn't blink, only stared directly at you, though you, muttering an endless stream of something you could not hear as she refused to stop looking or even blink. You knew a bad time when you saw it, and fled the battle before it could begin. You only just heard a voice go "Who WAS that?" before you were out of earshot, running back to your room as fast as possible.

~*~*~*~ "A curse?" You couldn't stop laughing, and that managed to set everyone else off. "You thought I was putting a curse on you?"

"Well!" He threw his hands up. "What was I supposed to think? I didn't know what that face meant and that made the most sense!"

"You do have a... intense look when you see something you like." Lilia laughed. "It reminds me a bit of Howl sometimes."

Kalim added, "No, it's more like she wants to eat whatever she's staring at."

Idia inclined his head in agreement, and Cater made a similar guesture to you. "You're all terrible," you said, but smiled as you did.

"Lilia, you never told us what type you had."

"Oh, Kalim," he said with eyes wide, "I'm much too young to be thinking about romance."

"I have forty-five minutes of footage that says otherwise," Cater said, waving his phone.

"Alright, alright." He rolled his eyes. "I like a lot of types of people."

"You've never flirted with anyone here at school." You thought for a moment. "Well, seriously, anyways. You're real friendly and that can be kinda flirty in itself."

"That's not true," he corrected. "You just don't know who it is. But," he added, "it's not a student. You're all too young for me."

Everyone stopped to consider this, before Idia spoke up. "It's Trein. I remember when I came in with you sitting on his desk."

Lilia pouted. "He still hasn’t bit. And he knows."

You covered your mouth. "I should have known you're a geezerfucker."

"I don't think it counts if you're older than said geezer."

Lilia leaned over to Idia. "I'll tell him you said that and then no one in this room will ever get a passing grade or a playdate with Lucius again."

Everyone changed the subject, and the evening continued with success.

[twistedlymad]

Can you do a oneshot with reader and twst boys having a sleepover at the Ramshackle dorm playing games and stuff, then reader suggests they tell scary stories with her story being the scariest and she starts to scare the others like in those animes. Sorry it’s kinda hard to put it into details or you can just write a regular sleepover scenario. Can’t wait for you to write about this idea and I really enjoyed your story when reader turned into a cat. Good luck on writing more stories!!!!!!😁

I have never been to a sleepover before, so, this is kind of new to me! I had fun writing this! I could seriously see MC/Yuu doing this sort of thing!

Anyways! Thank you for the request! I hope the story is up to your standards!  Also, thank you for liking my neko!Reader story! <3

And without further ado, on with the show!

What if you had a sleepover? (Ft. Ace, Deuce, Grim, Epel, Sebek and Jack) (Lilia is mentioned)

“Time’s up puppies! Please pass in your quizzes like the obedient puppies you all are. This is all for today, I will hand you back your tests next week.” Boomed a certain professor. One-by-one students were standing from their seats and placing down a test on the desk of the professor.

“This should be a trick… Ah, I see, there’s no way the equation for these two chemicals can be balanced. In fact, the answer should be Calcium Hydroxide.” You mumbled to yourself as you scribbled down the answer. You took one final look at your test, making sure everything was alright. There were a few questions that you didn’t know here and there, but you tried to answer them nevertheless. You nodded to yourself, satisfied with your answers and headed to the professor’s table. You placed down your paper and left the classroom.

“Man, that was tough! Who knew that they didn’t provide the list of plants to us!” Ace whined, standing outside the classroom with Deuce, Grim, Jack, Epel and Sebek.

“I didn’t know there were so many writing questions. I actually thought there were going to be a decent amount of multiple-choice ones!” Grim yelled.

“Because you would usually choose the longest answer for those instead of actually thinking about the answers, right?” Jack asked the furball.

“Fgnaaaa… I got caught….” The creature said as he sheepishly looked to the ground. You walked up towards the group.

“Hey guys.” You smiled.

“Ah, (Y/N), what took you so long?” Epel asked you.

“I needed to double-check my answers. Anyways, do you guys have any plans after this?” You said, grabbing Grim and he crawled to your shoulder and rested himself there.

“Nope! I don’t have any plans for today.” Said Ace.

“Yea, me neither.” You replied.

“Same here.” Deuce, Epel and Jack said together. Now, everyone’s eyes were on Sebek.

“I have to make sure Malleus-sama is alright. So, I do have something to do.” Sebek said, crossing his arms.

“In other words, you too have nothing to do.” Grim said from your shoulder.

“No! I do!” Sebek yelled back.

“Okay! Everyone except Sebek has nothing to do.” Deuce said, trying to calm the Diasomnia dorm member down.

“So, what do we do? Since tomorrow is a Saturday.” Jack asked.

“How about a sleepover then?” You suggested.

“Sure! But, where should we have the sleepover?” Epel said.

“What about our dorm? I mean, it’s only the two of us, if you don’t count the ghosts.” Grim said. The others nodded.

“Sounds fun!” Deuce agreed.

“I won’t be attending, as I said, I have to take care of Malleus-sama.” Sebek reminded.

“Alright, so it’s settled. We’ll have a sleepover at the Ramshackle Dorm tonight!” Ace said. You noticed Sebek was feeling a bit left out. So, you went to him and asked him.

“Sebek, are you sure you can’t come?” You asked him. “I mean, I’m sure Dorm Leader Malleus would understand.” Before Sebek could reply you, a new voice spoke up.

“Oh, he can go.” You jumped slightly. You and Sebek turned to see Lilia standing behind you two, smiling.

“I heard everything, don’t worry Sebek, I’ll tell Malleus that you have plans tonight.” The upperclassman said to his fellow dorm member. Sebek tried to protest though.

“B-but!”

“No buts, you are going to have that sleepover at Ramshackle Dorm and that’s final. Seriously, me and Silver can take care of Malleus too you know, plus, you need to spend more time with your friends.” Lilia said to him as he turned to you. “I’ll be leaving Sebek in your care (Y/N)~” You nodded to him.

“Yes, Lilia-senpai.” He smiled, and started to walk off.

“Well, I’ll be off now, have fun!” You waved to the upperclassman and turned to Sebek.

“Looks like you’re attending the sleepover after all!” You smiled to him and he blushed slightly.

“T-Then, I better go pack.” And with that, the Diasomnia dorm member headed off to his dorm.

“Ah! We should better go too! We have to ask permission from our dorm leaders and pack! See you tonight (Y/N)!” Epel said, waving to you as he, Ace and Deuce ran off to their respective dorms.

“Welp, that settles our boredom.” You said to Grim who was now on top of your head. “We should go back to prepare for them, right Grim?” You asked but there was no reply. You picked the creature from your head to see him sleeping peacefully. You shook your head and laughed softly. “Right, we should better be off then.” And the two of you headed back to your dorm.

While you were preparing, you were trying to come up with some activities for the night.

“We should play games. But, what games?” You said to yourself. You began to think about some of the games that you would normally play.

Uno? No. You were pretty sure you can’t even get a single round done with those cheaters, specifically Ace, Deuce and Epel. You also knew that Uno destroys friendship and you didn’t need to have magic flying all over the lobby so Uno was off the list.

Old Maid? Nope. You played with Ace, Deuce and Grim before and you clearly remember the face Grim would make if he got the Old Maid, which would result in him getting mad and annoyed. You did not want to put out any fires tonight either.

Blackjack? No, you didn’t want to gamble as you didn’t have extra madol to spend. Unless, you can manage to get the guys to agree to not gambling then the game would probably be played. So, you put this game on the possible list.

There were so many more games like Charades and Pillow Fights, you couldn’t really choose. However, after thinking awhile, you had an idea. You scribbled down your idea, noted down a few things you needed. Then, you grabbed what little madol you had, hoping it was enough, told Grim that you had to go supplies for tonight and left your dorm to go to Mr. S’s Mystery Shop. You walked into the shop, only to be greeted by Sam himself.

“Oh, why, if it isn’t (Y/N)!” The man greeted.

“Hi Sam! Can I buy a few things?” You asked, handing him the note of the needed supplies. Sam looked through it and was slightly taken aback.

“What a weird combination of stuff! But, I know what you’re trying to do.” He said, surprising you. You blinked a few times before asking him.

“How did you know?”

“My friends from the other side told me so.” He said as he prepared your stuff. “I think it’s a splendid idea for a sleepover. You should also try asking the ghosts for help, you know, to have that extra effect.” He then faced you with all the stuff you needed. You were shocked, like seriously! Why does this shop have everything?! You gave Sam the madol needed for everything and thanked him. You took his idea into consideration and decided to go back to your humble dorm.

Grim was still asleep when you reached back home, but the ghosts welcomed you back.

“Guys, I need your help in an event later.” You said to them, they looked at you, confused.

“What do you possibly need help with?” One of them asked.

“Well, I need you to…” And you explained your plan to the ghosts. The ghosts listened attentively and started to laugh.

“I never knew you were such a prankster (Y/N), heheheh~” One of the ghosts said to you.

“We think it’s a splendid idea. Right, we want to be amused too, so we’ll help you with this.” Another one said.

“Does Grim have to know?” The third ghost asked you and you thought about it.

“Nope, he will be one of the victims.” You said to them and they smiled.

“We can’t wait (Y/N), hehehehe~” And with that, the ghosts went off to prepare for the ‘event’. You started to set up the lounge for the sleepover, since it was almost time for them to arrive. You pushed the sofas to one side, clearing out the middle for your sleepover. However, you did set a large mirror that you bought from Mr. S’s Mystery Shop in front of the fireplace. You were excited too, not only were you going to have a fun time with your friends, you were also going to scare them and your plan to do so is incredibly detailed.

After an hour or two of prep work, you were finished. You even set up yours and Grim’s sleeping bags, usually Grim sleeps with you, so you only prepared one sleeping bag. You quickly changed into your pajamas and waited for the boys to arrive. You shook Grim awake and the furball just yawned and looked at you.

“What do you want (Y/N)?” He asked.

“It’s almost time for the sleepover, since you’ve slept that long, I figured you’d want something to eat before we start.” You said, holding up a tuna sandwich that you made to him and his eyes light up.

“Food?! Yay!! (Y/N), you’re the best!” The creature said and took the sandwich from your hands. You smiled and patted his head.

“Eat up, you’re going to need it.” You said to the furball. Not long after, knocks on your main entrance were heard.

“Oh, that must be them!” You said and told Grim to wait for you on your sleeping bag as you went to open the door. Once you did, there stood Ace, Deuce, Epel, Jack and Sebek.

“Hey guys! Come in!” You said as you stepped aside, letting them into your dorm.

“Wow (Y/N), you went all out.” Deuce commented as he saw the lounge. The boys began to put down their sleeping bags in a circle. They began to chat as you excused yourself to go grab some snacks. As you arrive in the kitchen, one of the ghosts was there waiting for you. You tied an invisible string to your ankle and gave the roll of string to the ghost. You winked to him, grabbed the snacks and went back to the lounge. The ghost just snickered and continue to wait in the kitchen.

The sleepover started off nicely! You guys played some Blackjack, Charades and even one or two rounds of Old Maid. Thankfully, Grim didn’t set the entire dorm on fire like he did last time, the creature even focused on perfecting his poker face. But, it wasn’t enough because every time he got the Old Maid, you could still see him frown a little.

It was about midnight, when you guys finished your last round of Old Maid.

“So, what do we do now?” Ace asked.

“We’ve done almost everything a sleepover would do, maybe it’s actually time we went to sleep?” Jack replied.

“No, there’s one more thing that we haven’t done yet.” You said, standing up to turn off the lights. “We haven’t told ghost stories yet.” The boys froze.

“G-Ghost stories?” Grim asked, trembling slightly. You grabbed a candle and lighted it, and sat in front of the mirror. You guys were in a circle so no one really cared about the mirror.

“Yes, ghost stories. I’d love to hear what you guys know about ghosts! After all, I’m not from here, so, spook me!” You said to the boys, smiling. They were shocked. Why were you so cheerful with telling ghost stories?

“A-Ah…. I don’t think I know any… How about you guys?” Deuce asked. Ace, Epel, Jack and Sebek all shook their heads no. You pouted slightly.

“No childhood fears? No urban legends? Wow.” Honestly, you were quite surprised. These guys didn’t know anything about ghost stories or urban legends? Well, this fit in quite nicely to your plan, so you decided to launch phase 1 of your plan.

“Well, since you didn’t know any stories, I’ll tell you one!” Now, their attention was fully on you. You smirked slightly and continued. “There is a ghost that has been haunting humans ever since I was a child. We called her, Bloody Mary.” As you told the tale of Mary, the ghost was slowly sneaking his way to the mirror, you noticed this and nodded slightly to him. After awhile, you began to tell them how the ritual of summoning her is done. Some of the boys were trembling slightly, but all of them were listening very attentively.

“Now, they say, if you say her name three times in front of a mirror, whilst holding a candle, Bloody Mary herself will appear! And she’ll either drag you back into the mirror or drag you away to return to her dwellings with her. And that’s the urban legend we call Bloody Mary.” You said and looked at the boys.

They were scared! Visible fear on their faces! Grim was hugging you very tightly, Ace and Deuce were hugging each other, Jack, Sebek and Epel were holding a blanket over their heads or just holding the blanket very tightly. You smiled and laughed a little. They looked at you as if you were crazy.

“You know, when I was a child until now, she never appeared. I’ve always thought of her as a joke, I never knew you guys would take me so seriously! Hahahaha!” You laughed out loud, the boys all had an ‘irk’ mark on their heads.

“Aha.. It’s okay you babies, I’ll go get the lights.” You said and went to flick the lights on, however, there wasn’t any response. You tried again and again but to no avail.

“I-I’m sure it’s just because of your lousy dormitory.” Ace said, looking at you trying with the lights.

“Hmm, I’ll have to ask the principal for help tomorrow, oh well.” You shrugged. When you were about to sit down, your candle had been blown out.

“W-What’s going on? I thought you closed all the windows!” Sebek said to you.

“I did! There shouldn’t be any wind! Ace! Was this your doing?” You asked your friend.

“N-No! I didn’t even bring my magical pen! Neither of us did!” He said back to you.

“Then, how did the candle go out?” As soon as you asked though, the mirror started to shake. The boys noticed this and ran to the corners of the lounge. You were right in front of the mirror now. It was only then, Jack figured it out.

“(Y-Y/N)…. You sat in front of that mirror right?” He asked.

“Yes.”

“You were holding the candle right?”

“Yes.”

“How many times did you say Bloody Mary’s name?” You took a while to think.

“I’ve said it three tim- oh.” As those words left your mouth, you fell down. The boys yelled for you.

“G-Guys! I think something is pulling my le-AAHHHHHHHH!!” And you were pulled to the kitchen. The boys froze. A few seconds later, 6 screams and shouts of your name were heard.

In the kitchen, you quickly untied the invisible string and nodded to the ghosts who were snickering.

“Now, onto phase 2.” You said and dressed yourself in an old and torn apart dress. Don’t worry, you still had your pajamas underneath. You wore a black, long-haired wig and had tomato sauce dripping all over your body. You definitely looked like a ghost with all the getup and thanks to the dark atmosphere, you looked terrifying. You then held up a fake broken mirror shard. You slowly walked back to the lounge.

“W-What do we do?! We don’t know where (Y/N) went! For all we know, she might be taken away by that ghost!” Deuce said to his friends.

“We should go find headmaster! He’ll know what to do!” Sebek said and the rest nodded. And that’s when you decided to take a few steps into the lounge. The boys looked at you, frozen in their place.

“Who…. Summoned…..“ You started, and took a few steps closer to them. You then raised your fake mirror shard and looked at them in the eye.

“MEEEE?!”

They boys screamed and ran from you and up to the second floor. You watched them flee and smiled to yourself. The boys were breathless once they reached the second floor.

“I think we lost her.” Said Epel, exhausted. But then, a crash was heard.

They boys turned to see a mirror had been broken at the end of the hallway. Suddenly, another mirror was broken, next to the first and closing in to the boys. Then a third, fourth and fifth. They boys screamed again and ran back downstairs. However, they saw you coming up the stairs and something was also coming down the stairs from the second floor. They were cornered.

“Now….. KNOW MY WRATH!!!!” And you rushed to them. They screamed and braced for impact. But… Nothing happened? They were confused, they should’ve died a moment ago, right? Slowly, they opened their eyes to see you taking off your wig.

“Boo.” And you laughed like there’s not tomorrow. 5 boys, and one creature, stared at you in shock. They couldn’t believe it. (Y/N), the student who was always trying to not cause any trouble and fixing their messes, would be striking fear into her friends one day. And that day was today.

“(Y-Y/N)?! That was all you?!” Deuce asked you. You smiled and nodded.

“Yep, I also had help from the ghosts.” You said and the ghosts made themselves visible to the group.

“Hahahaha! (Y/N)’s plan worked!!” The ghosts said to you. The boys just stared at you and the ghosts and slowly slumped down onto the floor. They felt tired and just want to go to sleep.

So, the 7 of you head back to the lounge, with the boys mumbling something about not messing with you and whatnot. You took off your dress, got yourself clean and wiggled into your sleeping bag, Grim doing the same but he snuggled into your arms. The boys got into their respective sleeping bags and wished you goodnight. You wished them as well and you all drifted off into dreamland, where hopefully, no bloody figures in mirrors will appear.

Let’s just say, from that night on, the boys can’t look at mirrors the same ever again. Was it worth scaring the boys? Absolutely, positively, 100% yes. 

It took you months to explain and reassure them that the legend wasn’t actually real. Well, at least in Twisted Wonderland, it wasn’t real, right?

A Different Kind Of Story - Dance and Grace

It was time for some music and refinement. After some business talk with a scammy octopus lady, Yuko decided to show a small feast she once was invited to, arranged by her friends from Scarabia, and some day-to-day life at the ever so gorgeous Pomefiore.

A Different Kind of Story: Chapter 4

Yuko hasn't even been a solid 5 minutes in the Scarabia dorm, but they already were melting. The afternoon sun was brutal on her skin. Grim wasn't doing any better.

"Are you ok, Yuko? Should I get you something to drink?" Yuko turned her head two face two worried, red eyes.

"Is that a yes or a no? You know what? It doesn't matter. I'll get you one," Kalim said as she patted Yuko on the shoulder before getting up. The brunette tried to stop her, but Kalim didn't listen and quickly came back with some drinks.

"You really shouldn't have to..." Yuko said but took the drinks regardless. "You don't have to be so polite! You two are our guests! A drink or two should be the least!" Yuko could have sworn she needed sunglasses with how bright Kalim was. It gave her a warm feeling of familiarity.

All of a sudden, a sweet and flavourful smell filled the lively lounge of Scarabia. A brunette with long hair and a hood came into the room. She carried multiple plates with different foods, which vary from perfectly sweet to super spicey.

"Wow! These smell amazing, Jamil-senpai," The Prefect of Ramshackle praised, clapping their hands together with sparkles in their eyes. Jamil didn't pay her or her compliment any mind and just placed the dishes on the table.

"You can compliment me if it tastes as good as it smells.", the second-year commented blankly.

"Fnyaaa, why can't you take the compliment! She's at least trying to be nice to you, even after what you did, you snake!" Yuko looked down at Grim and smiled fondly while giving Grim some head pats. Jamil just turned around with an angry huff and leaving the room to get more food.

"Seriously, why are you trying to be so friendly with her? It's obvious she doesn't give a damn about everyone but herself."

"That sounds like everyone at this school, to be honest. People deserve a second chance, and I think I'm not the only one who knows this." The first-year turned to Kalim, who looked kind of sad. Yuko knew that Kalim still concerned herself with many things. Yuko didn't know why or what those things were, but they also felt like it wasn't their place to ask questions.

Yuko's train of thought was interrupted by the other members of the dorm, who all decided to dig in and enjoy the sweet and spicy dishes their vice leader made.

-

The feast came along significantly.

Cheerful chattering filled the room. It had accompanied by entertaining music, played by some students who had already finished their meal.

The two guests from Ramshackle were having a small conversation with the ever so joyful host of the party. Mostly Grim was talking with her. Yuko just sat there, enjoying her meal while her furry companion on her lap was having a good time.

The young Crowley roamed the filled room with attentive eyes. She saw students eating and praising the food, telling stories (some real, some not), or were merely telling jokes and were having a good time. Among those students, there was a brunette standing on the sides, watching them. An idea then popped into the first-year's head.

Yuko excused herself politely from the second-year who so kindly invited them. They then proceeded to walk to the vice to start a little chat for herself.

"Hello Jamil-senpai," Yuko greeted. "The dishes were astounding. The sweets felt like they were melting in my mouth! There also was a hint of apple in there, or am I incorrect? Either way, would you mind if I asked for the recipe itself?" Startled, Jamil turned around to face her junior.

"Uhm, of course? I did not know you'd enjoy it that much that you would ask for the recipe. It's a common sweet in my family" Jamil seemed taking back by Yuko's sudden request. Yet only an innocent smile painted their face while listening to their senior reciting the recipe.

-

"You seem to be enjoying yourself there, Yuko," Ace mocked with a sly smile.

"What could you possibly mean, Ace?"

"Don't act this innocent. If you are an alternate version of our buddy Yuu here, then you are just trying to annoy her, aren't you? Also, you and Kalim there are disgustingly sweet, I have to say." The ace of Heartslabyul said. Yuko gasped in offence and put one of her gloved hands on her chest gem.

"Oh, how could be so mean! I just tried to have a nice conversation with my upperclassmen", the girl wailed. "And, ohh, I am sorry that I am just having some fun with Kalim. I didn't know being nice to others is actually 'disgusting'" Ace smirk swiftly was erased from his face. Some of the first years even snickered a bit about the answer to the boy's comment.

"It is just," the girl in the mirror continued. "I like talking to her since she gives up a sense of comfort. She is like the older sister I never had," Yuko said fondly.

Kalim was also beaming with joy and pride. It seemed knowing that someone, who isn't related to him, thought of him as an older sibling figure made him happy. Even though not directly meant.

"A-ah! Let's not get distracted, shall we? Next is Pomefiore," the girl in the mirror announced.

"Of course not. Although, before we start, let me say that it is very nice to hear that you think that way, young one." Lilia was heart warmed. Father instincts, Yuko silently assumed before fading from the other sight.

-

After Yuko got the recipe for the dish Jamila made, they said their goodbyes to her friends and made her way to Pomefiore.

The old castle was as beautiful and graceful as ever. The afternoon wind made it seem even more like it was from a fairytale.

As soon as Yuko entered the big walls of Pomefiore, she got greeted by a petit-looking first-year. The student's long lavender hair swayed behind them as they approached Yuko as if a breeze was flowing through the dormitory.

"Yuko! Perfect timing! Please save me from Vil! She's trying to put me in one of those disgusting, frilly dresses!" the smaller girl whined. She clutched against Yuko's arm as if it would have helped convince Yuko of her need for help. "Epel, please, I can't hide you every time. I also am starting to think that Vil might know our hideouts by now" Yuko kindly smiled as Epel continued to beg for her help. Yet to no avail.

Moreover, Vil appeared. Her long gowns were perfectly put on, with no faults whatsoever. They flowed behind her while she walked down the hall towards the first years.

It was like looking at a goddess.

But alas, this beauty was angry.

Behind her followed NRC's huntress, Rook. Her heavy boots' steps and Vil's high heels clicking echoed through the empty and silent hall, Epel's begging long died out.

"Epel! How dare you try to run away again! You'll never learn how to use those natural looks correctly. Don't get me started on how to treat them right!" Vil pinched Epel's cheek, ignoring the junior's complaints.

"Oh my, oh my! The Trickster has arrived! How splended~ Your little companion is at your side, as well."

Yuko smiled politely and started holding Grim a little tighter in her arms, in case Grim would try to flee from the huntress.

"I am also very delighted to make your acquaintance again, Rook-senpai. How is it currently going?" The senior started beaming at the question with a bright smile. Her hands flew up to her head. "Oh Trickster, how happy I am that you asked! Reine de Poison was only trying to show our little apple how to put on more voluminous dresses, but the little one didn't seem to like the idea, which is a loss, to be honest. Just imagine Mademoiselle Cherry Apple in one! She'd look like an innocent angel~."

Yuko couldn't hide their chuckle at the thought of Epel wearing something like that. Now they sure knew why Epel was so desperate for help.

-

They all made their way to the lounge for some tea, the argument between Vil and Epel never-ending during the short walk.

At this point, the Ramshackle Prefect was holding Grim's mouth shut, knowing that Grim would spit some non-polite comment. Either at Rook or Vil. Which both wouldn't end well for them.

Vil, Epel, Yuko and Grim seated themselves on the beautiful couches of Pomefiore. Rook made her way into the kitchen to prepare the tea. For Yuko's and Grim's ears pleasure, Vil's and Epel's bickering had stopped.

"So tell me, little potato," Vil started, "have you finally renovated your old dorm by now? I am confident that this hideous place could look better," Harsh as ever, Yuko thought.

Nonetheless, the dorm leader was right. It was old and rotten, and it already was hard work to get it into the condition it is now.

"The renovations are coming along, Vil-senpai, yet I highly doubt I will get it finished any time soon. Nonetheless, I am happy to say that I acquired some donations from Azul. For furniture for the interior, as well for the outer parts. Maybe I'll even have to ask someone to help me with the gardens soon if this all keeps going at this pace. But first, the rooms and all should be looking presentable, of course." Yuko explained. Her senior hummed understanding.

Rook re-enters the lounge with a trey, which has some tea and snacks on it. "Oh la la, what did I miss? Where are you talking about the Ramshackle dormitory?" Room asked as she put the trey downs on the table. How did she know that? Until now, she was in another room!

"Yes, we were discussing the Ramshackle dormitory, Rook. The renovations, to be exact," Vil said as she sipped her tea.

"Epel, you were awfully quiet until now. Does the topic of your friend's home not interest you?"

As if being ripped out of a daydream, Epel quickly looked up. "N-no, this isn't the reason! I didn't want to interrupt yall- I mean you all."

Vil inspected her as if trying to figure out if she was lying or not. After 20 seconds of starring, Vil accepted the explanation as genuine and let out a small sigh.

"Epel, at least sit straight and look me in the eyes while talking. The cup goes up to your head, not your head to the cup!" Vil pinched Epel's cheek once again, ignoring Epel's whines. It all ended in another argument.

-

Leona put one of his hands on his temple in annoyance. He just witnessed two arguments, one in full length and the other one's just started. "Is this also like this here?"

"Yep, totally," said all the first-years in unison, except for Epel, who had a feeling of betrayal in his eyes.

"How could you all fall into my back like that?!"

"Epel, you know that they are sadly telling the truth. We, rather often, have different opinions on things," Vil kindly reminded the student he took under his wing. Like a father

"Nevertheless, Leona, you should know how hard it can be to look after your first years. Oh wait, on second thought, you probably don't, since you push all your responsibilities onto Ruggie,"

Leona only growled, knowing that starting a fight with the fellow third-year would be pointless.

Everyone in the room went quiet. Even Rook didn't say anything. After a minute of awkward silence and Vil and Leona starring at each other, Yuko cleared her throat, getting all of the male's attention.

"How about we move on to our last two dorms. Then we'll call it for today? It's been a long day with a lot of new things to process," Yuko clapped their hands together while talking. They were just happy that there weren't any nasty comments on any of her friends.

[DCA Event] - Six Queens Event Part 5

Warning: Dark Jokes

[Howard - All you wanna do] 

It was Cerule’s turn, the ghost sends a promiscuous feeling thorugh her soul. They expected Cerule to be like Briar, vulnerable to being possessed completely not because of a relation in their situation, but more like Cerule is a bit impulsive at times. But surprisingly she was just as strong willed as Vidya, it could be perhaps because of her family’s hereditary power.

Using her voice, the ghost is blocked by the magic that her voice possesses. She gets into center stage as her eyes glowed a bright pink. She gets her act on stage and the audience thought this was just the sexy type character. But they won’t realize that this act was the darkest part of the play.

Cerule starts to ‘roast’ the queens as they tell her that she can’t compete with them in terms of having the worst life. The crowd chuckles at her sarcasm, Jade and Rook were invested in this act and with how she carries herself with such confidence. They stan a queen who knows how attractive they are and doesn’t regret flaunting it.

Cerule: Yeah… yeah, you’re right. I’m gonna need all the luck I can get, your lives sounded terrible and your songs… really helped to convey that.  I mean, Catherine, almost moving into a nunnery and then not? It almost could’ve been really hard for you.  And Anne! Anne, getting your head chopped off? Surely, that means you’ll win the competition— oh, wait, wait, hang on a sec. Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded… oh, wait, nevermind.  Audience:

And Jane, dying of natural causes? When will justice be served?! And surviving…  Audience: *Laughs as she skips Rozeline* Seriously, seriously, Anna, all jokes aside, being rejected for your looks legit sounds really rough. I wouldn’t know anything about that.  Audience: 

Cerule: I mean look at me, I’m really fit. So yeah. I can’t even begin to think of how I’m going to compete with you all. Oh wait, like this... 

She snaps her fingers as the lights flash pink and the song starts. Cerule had been practicing on using her voice for the act, since there was a lot of times she’s lost control over it. The harsh vocal training with Professor Faustus was worth it, she uses her voice to make the audience feel the wave of sensual excitement, but for only a small portion, it was enough to get them to focus on her. 

Crowley feels the need to tell her that she shouldn’t be dancing so sensually, but Divus just pulls on his shirt collar again and reminds him that it’s a play, chill out or he’ll be tempted to tighten his tie. (Poor Crowley, his view on the perfectly well-behaved students are being dragged through the gutter, for real though... chill Bird Dad let the Serpent King do the scolding XD)

Jack was now praying to whatever Gods who might be listening to not have Idia kill him as Ortho sits there still with a curious expression. Like the majority of the audience, he can feel his cheeks flush in embarrassment. 

Others who are affected are Epel who is red as Riddle who happens to be clutching Trey’s sleeve as the third year was covering his mouth with his hand, Ace is affected too but he’s focused on laughing at Deuce who is covering his eyes with his hands whenever Cerule coincidentally makes eye contact in his spot of the crowd. Cater was just vibing with the music, typical playboy not affected.

Azul is blushing too but he is struggling to NOT look away because he can feel Jade glance at him from time to time. Floyd was just enjoying the music, go figure. For Azul, if he looks away that would mean that the twins would NEVER shut up about this incident for weeks! He’s having a battle, internally with himself and the twins. Cerule’s dancing just makes it worse because it looked so damn convincing! Not to mention the way she sang the song! OCTOBOY IS REACHING PUBERTY XD

Cerule: All you wanna do, all you wanna do baby~ Touch me, love me can’t get enoughsies~ Azul:

But when she reached the climax of her song the feeling of excitement faded as she her expression morphs from playful to a near meltdown, her dancing stops as she shakes off the hands of the queens when they make contact on her body. The crowd goes silent as the feeling of dread and pity washes over them like a raging wave.

Vil, let’s just say that he can find things that he can relate to being fairest. He may or may not have felt like this when he was pursuing his path of reaching ultimate beauty. He applauds Cerule’s acting, it looked so convincing, as if he was seeing the actual young queen go through the trauma of being used by the men in her life.

Cerule: Touch me when will enough BE ENOUGHSIES?! Audience: *silently realizing the real situation*

When the song was over, she could barely feel the possession fading since it was mostly blocked by the magic of her voice. At the end of the song, people were clapping loudly but there was little cheering. 

Not because they didn’t like the act but because it took such a dark turn. But they admire the acting because some were in tears, we now know whose been in that situation before.

[Queens Fight]

Cerule lightens the atmosphere by explaining that’s how she was beheaded. This was the part where the queens would start to argue.

It starts when Cerule claims that she is the winner because she’s had it way worse. But the others seem to disagree with that.

Briar comes up to Cerule and states that she may have had it bad but it wasn’t the worst they have heard this evening.

Cerule retorts back by stating that she had sung four choruses, that’s the amount of SH*T she has had to deal with.

Allison speaks up by saying how the situation was similar to hers so she ain’t the only one who has experienced that.

Allison:  Wow, yeah, being manipulated by men and paying the price, none of us could possibly imagine what that— oh wait, yeah, I did experience that. Evonie: Yeah, for like that last five minutes of your marriage, Anne! Men had manipulated me from day one. I was literally shipped over from a foreign country, not knowing a single word of English, to marry some random dude. Vidya: Oh my god, same! Audience: *laughs*

Evonie tries to argue again about how the king didn’t even say goodbye but was cut off when Allison and Cerule said that they’ve been there too except she got to keep her lovely neck. The two high five while giving Evonie the stink eye.

And her last statement about the king not allowing her to see her only child who had the chickenpox, which sets Briar off. And the outburst shocks everyone, the motherly queen lashing out in anger.

Evonie: when my one and only child had a raging fever, Henry didn’t even let me, her MOTHER see her- Briar: OH BOOHOO! Baby Mary had the chickenpox and you weren’t there to hold her hand! You know, it’s funny because when I wanted to hold my newborn son, I died!

Malleus: *Was just accepting it at face value and has no energy left to be shook anymore*

The entire room was silent as they gawked at Briar’s outburst.

Vidya buts in by yelling how she has the plague and the queens all turn to her, concern written on their faces.

Vidya: Guys I have the plague! Queens: What?! Vidya: Lol I’m just kidding my life’s amazing~

At the sight of a smug queen with the other five giving her a displeased look, the crowd erupts into laughter.

Kalim is laughing while he’s clinging to Jamil, Ace was choking on his spit and is trying not to laugh because he is going to lose more oxygen. Floyd is cackling because he would probably do this joke too if he had the money to back it up. Azul is scowling a bit because, let’s face it he had a bad life at childhood.

Although Vidya adds that she was humiliated on an international scale but Allison sarcastically asks who could possibly relate but Evonie snaps at her at what would she know about humiliation. This was the moment that sh*t went down.

Evonie: You seriously wanna talk about humiliation?! Well, when I was queen... Henry had not one, not two but three historically confirmed mistresses! Allison: Oh no, mistresses.. GET OVER IT! When I was queen I had not one, not two, but THREE... M I S C A R R I A G E S!

*Record Scratch*

Vil, Divus, Cater, Rook, Jade and Lilia:

Riddle, Azul, Jack, Sebek and Malleus:

Ace, Deuce, Epel, Ortho, Floyd and Silver:

Crowley:

The audience went apesh*t at that and it got crazier when Evonie one-upped her by yelling how she had five miscarriages. And the five queens started going at each other’s throats and yelling.

Rozeline stopped the fighting by yelling, “That’s ENOUGH!”

[Extra]

Rozeline yelled so loud that it shocked the five queens. To the audience it was just acting but for Rozeline this was going out of control. She could feel the ghosts nearly take over the dorm leaders as they argued. Their eyes glowing brighter and even Vidya and Cerule who had really strong wills to resist were being crumbled down almost becoming vulnerable themselves.

That was a close call for sure, but Rozeline thought back to the moment they got possessed. She had a song prepared about the life of the sixth queen but looking back at it, what was the point of making their pain known? She sympathized with the queens because they were in the same position as her, they felt powerless against the man who held the power to take away their lives. But should she just end the show with their suffering?

What about the happy ending? She wanted them to be recognized but would she want them to be recognized like this?

The six wives of Henry VIII who suffered in his hands? 

That was what they were, just HIS wives. Nothing has changed and Rozeline was not about to settle for this!

They’ve had enough suffering, she regrets not seeing this sooner but she’ll make the ending count. Hopefully the girls wouldn’t mind if she went off script for just a bit, right? Time for a histo-rewrite to ensure the legacy of the Six!

She just needs the ghosts to realize that they are so much more than just their history with the king.

[epicsevenshitposts]

OKAY SO I see this gem: “lilias is tried in cidonia’s equivalent of the hague for her crimes,” for example," in your intro post And I'm just...I ask for a shitpost about this

aaaaaa sorry for taking so long to finish this! my brain decided to commit die for almost a straight week and i have no idea why

lmao quick disclaimer but i am not completely up to date with the lore from the ending portion of episode 2 so this might be a bunch of cursed speculation

still hopefully i'll be able to make something worthwhile lol

seven years.

seven years of evading the authorities.

lilias had severed almost any connection she had to her previous life and yet, she had failed.

how the hell did the authorities even get to her? she thought she did a pretty good job evading their meddling. did someone tattle on her in exchange for a plea deal or something? how rude. if she still could, she'd arrange for that person to be, shall we say, sent out for a nice vacation in a warm, toasty place.

but, she couldn't, and now she was being dragged into confinement and charged with a myriad violations of what's basically cidonia's geneva convention.

oh, come on, what she did wasn't that bad. calm down. lilias shook her head in disapproval as her crimes were read out to her. did the people affected even matter that much? who cared? they were obstacles. she needed to clear them up to reach her goal. it was just a means to an end.

she sat in her cell, idly wondering what would become of her. would she get a deal to lessen her punishment, or would she be left to rot for the rest of her days if she didn't figure something out here?

there was another way this could end, but, well, lilias didn't think dwelling on it would be necessary. not at this point. she supposed she'd figure things out if it got to that point.

she'd find a way. she always found a way, no matter the cost.

eventually, the day of her trial began, and she was presented in front of the court.

dear god, this would be a shitshow.

the trial was a media frenzy, given a wholeass citylord was finally being brought to justice for her laundry list of misdeeds.

apparently these sorts of trials could last for literal years

dear god

lilias would be so old, she'd have one foot in the grave by the time this was over

well, maybe not that old, but you get what i'm saying

god, they went over everything from everywhere

seriously, she didn't even remember doing some of this stuff! besides, some types of people did deserve a little torture for their disobedience.

just as a treat

eventually, the trial finally fucking ended, and lilias got her ass sentenced to life in prison

well then

this gave her time. lots of time to create an escape plan and execute it

would she be allowed visitors? surely some people were still on her side, right? surely there were some lilias simps and apologists left in cidonia.

maybe she could be like one of those serial killers who were inexplicably worshiped in the dark recesses of social media websites?

she thought she had charisma and still was fairly attractive, all things considered. surely someone liked her and her kim possible titties.

these ideas would not come to fruition, though, and lilias was forced to serve her sentence until the day she died. because that's literally what a life sentence entails.

actually she probably would be executed but ehhhhhh

informal prison execution? hmmmm

but yeah she got vibe checked lmao and she deserved it

look i don't remember like anything about lilias but i feel like she'd commit some crimes against humanity too

those are kinda like war crimes but can be committed in both peace and war times??? idk man

i think you can get tried for both in the hague maybe??? possibly. i don't know the logistics of this, given that i have not committed either type of crime

anyway haha lilias got yeeted into jail

point and laugh everyone

uhhhh

hopefully you enjoyed it??? i'm not sure how i could effectively shitpost about this without doubt actual research on how these trials are conducted, but hopefully this suffices

lmao not me not being able to properly shitpost about something that was my own idea

anyway, as usual, leave your metaphorical yelp review in a reply or reblog if you wish

[ferluccia]

Okay, so we know Viktor is a bookworm. This has been established, right? Well, what about young Vitya who, when going around the world for competitions, buys books regardless of the language. And he orders dictionaries online, and translates them personally. (Because being at the top of the world can be kind of lonely.)

I FEEL REALLY SORRY FOR NOT GETTING TO THIS EARLIER BUT!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!

Victor’s relationship with books dated back to a long time. Yakov’s first memory of him included a book snuggly held against Victor’s chest. 

It made for a funny picture—the small, wide-eyed child holding a big book like it was a teddy bear, refusing to let go of it even though he would have no time to sit and read. Yakov remembers being able to peek at the title—it was The Hobbit, a colorful and illustrated version—and at his curiosity, Vitya’s mother chuckled and shook her head.

“He won’t leave home without bringing a book along,” she explained.

Little Vitya was a stubborn one. It was a trait he carried on into his adult life.

“Mommy,” Vitya tugged at her sleeve, eyes following the skaters on the rink, “can I skate yet?”

“I don’t know. How about you ask your new coach?” She replied, encouraging him to step forward and talk to Yakov. 

Vitya, back then a five-year-old, already knew how to be polite and charming, raising his chin up to look at Yakov with his big blue eyes and swiping his hair back.

“Coach Yakov, may I use the rink, please?“ 

Yakov would be heartless if he refused.

“Of course. But you can’t take your book with you.”

He almost expected Vitya to widen his eyes and clutch at his book, perhaps insist on taking it to the ice with him by the way he had been carrying it all morning or turn to his mother and say something along the lines of “I don’t like this new coach”. Instead, little Vitya frowned, offering Yakov his book with a seriousness of a real adult who confided something of great importance.

“Then… can you keep it for me?”

It had started like that. Vitya would always bring a book along, and handing Yakov his book for safe-keeping before lacing up and stepping on the ice became a part of their routine. It happened before classes, it happened before competitions. Sometimes he would curl up in a corner of the rink and read his book while waiting for some free time to skate.

Victor’s passion for books became even more evident as he grew up. He always had one in his bag, but also always brought one from home. Yakov couldn’t tell which one he was reading—or if he was reading both—but he would never question it. 

“The bookstore had a sale and I couldn’t resist,” twelve-year-old Vitya would explain when he arrived late for practice, and Lilia would only shake her head and look at Yakov.

Sometimes it was a bit of a problem. Just like he would refuse to do his warm-ups before finishing a chapter, he always backed one too many books for his trips.

“Why are you bringing so many books for?” Yakov asked as he loaded the taxi with Victor’s luggage. “Do you think you’ll be able to slack off just because you won gold in the last competition?”

Teenager Victor chuckled, glancing at his struggling coach as he scratched Makkachin behind her ears. 

“I don’t know. I might get tired of waiting for my turn and read a dozen books before I step on the ice,” he teased.

It was a known fact Victor was a fast reader, but the reason why he brought a bunch of books wasn’t because of it. It was something Yakov didn’t entirely understand, and something he wasn’t exactly interested in encouraging. 

Victor traded them with other competitors—sometimes giving up on his beautiful, limited edition cover books in favor of getting a ratty, old book in a language he couldn’t understand. Most of the times they weren’t even the same books—giving up on his treasured, flawless Anna Karenina for a coffee-stained, decade-old single volume Narnia in Italian? 

Yakov didn’t understand. But Victor—he was always elated to trade books with people, no matter what it was, and would start reading it as soon as possible,  running to the nearest shop in search of a dictionary that could help him understand the book.

When Victor turned fifteen he moved to Yakov and Lilia’s apartment to focus on his training, aiming for Junior’s gold in the following season. One condition, though—he could bring no more than ten books. 

He protested. Being rightfully furious about the proposal, Victor refused to agree with Yakov’s terms—even though he understood the reasoning behind such imposal—and was only after a lot of negotiation from Lilia’s part that he finally decided to agree.

“How?” Yakov asked as Lilia brought him the good news.

“He won’t be bringing any books. I’ve offered him my library instead.”

“Your books are all in French.”

Lilia smirked, offering Yakov the famous you fool eyes that were affectionate and mocking all the same.

“You know that is not a problem for him.”

Reading a lot was never exactly a problem or a harm to his growth as a skater. Victor was a promising athlete with incredible potential, excited to win and passionate about his sport. 

The real problem was that kids his age weren’t that passionate about reading. They had other interests—like games, movies, dating, and books just didn’t seem to be a popular top priority like it was for Victor. 

Victor had always been charming, talkative and approachable, and when Yakov asked him to interact with other skaters at banquets, he would quickly gather a small group around him and would talk passionately about the latest story he read, exchanging impressions about characters and other things. 

But after a couple of hours, Victor was nowhere to be seen. He would usually head back to his room, grab his book and find a peaceful place to read. More often than not, Yakov heard other people commenting about how focused he was on his book and lamenting not wanting to interrupt his reading.

As enjoyable as they were, books made for a lonely hobby.

When Victor got his own apartment a magazine made a photoshoot there, and they could not hide their surprise as they learned that Victor had read all the books on the shelves of his living room, save for a small pile that was kept next to the sofa where he would curl up after practice and read. They made sure to include that information when the interview was released, and Yakov remembered clearly the reaction it had gotten from the public. 

Between practicing and reading, Victor Nikiforov did little else. People made a huge deal out of it—providing lengthy blog posts about how those hundred of books spoke of solitude and a somewhat intrusive trend of asking Victor personal questions about his mental health. 

Victor dismissed those rumors saying something about being too immersed in stories to think about being lonely. To his inner circle, it was easy to notice otherwise.

However, Yakov noticed a change when Victor moved to Japan. It was growth. It was selflessness. First, he had taken only around ten books on his trip, which meant a significant effort from his part of getting to know someone, and being unsure about his future and the path he had taken. Bitter, he didn’t want to think too much about it, dismissing those things as Victor’s aloofness as he packed in a hurry.  

For once, Yakov enjoyed being proved wrong. Wrong about Victor being selfish. Wrong about Victor not being able to coach. Wrong about Victor not knowing what he wants. 

Being a teacher, after all, was about watching your pupils overcome and surprise you. And even though Yakov was still a bit bitter about it, he admired Victor for his growth. 

“I’ll keep it for you,” he heard Victor say from the sideline, picking the book from Yuuri’s hand with care. 

They stood a couple of steps away, Yuuri removing the guards from his blades while Victor’s help, his coat thrown haphazardly over his shoulders as he assumed the role of coach after his train was over. 

“Can you mark the page for me?” Yuuri asked. “I forgot the bookmarker in the dressing room.”

“Of course. What did you think of the chapter?”

Wide-eyed, Yuuri turned around with a big smile on his face, nearly jumping over the boards in excitement while trying to not make a scene. It was funny. It reminded Yakov of young Vitya. 

“I wasn’t expecting the plot twist to be that big? It was difficult to put the book down! I nearly skipped training just so I could finish it.”

“I know! I was sure you’d like it!” Victor smiled excitedly, holding the book close to his chest. “You won’t believe what happens in the next chapter. It gets so much better, you have no idea!”

“Vitya!! You promised not to tease!” Yuuri laughed, pushing Victor playfully.

“Yuuri, get to work!” Yakov called out, only then noticing how he was watching the scene with a shy smile. 

“Oh—Sorry, Yakov!” Victor smiled apologetically, leaning over the board to give Yuuri a kiss before watching him glide on the ice. 

Victor had always had a weak spot for cheesy romance novels. Yakov wanted to laugh when he remembered Victor is living one of them. 

“Go on. Join him,” he said, nudging Victor’s shoulder. “Yuuri skates more passionately when you’re there with him.”

Victor looked at Yakov with his eyebrows raised and lips parted in surprise. He didn’t say a word, and yet his coach was able to read the emotions flowing in his eyes. 

“Alright,” Victor smiled, offering him the book. “Can you keep this for me?”

I absolutely love the way you draw everyone in twisted wonderland. I know some out there don’t agree who you ship, but I think otherwise. The way you draw the characters is always amazingly done and I can tell how much you worked on them.

You are an amazing artist so if anyone disagrees then just remember you have some fans out there including me!

Thank you for your support and love, Anon! I always talk about how we didn’t expect anyone at all to enjoy our content, our ships and our thoughts about them, and honestly it still feels bizarre. It’s been a bit more than a year now, and thinking about how anxious we were about posting some of this stuff before is really weird now. So I really can’t stress it enough: hearing your words of support really means a lot. These characters and ships are really dear to us, and as long as we feel passionate about them, we’ll keep posting them <3 I’m very glad you can see our passion for the characters in our drawings! So thank you so much for enjoying the way we see them.

Even though, once again, we don’t expect everyone to like everything that we post. But when people do, it’s very cool.

Idia wouldn’t build a sex machine? Please. He already did; his name is Ortho.

OHHHHHHHHHHH 😭 good point, good point.

The most intense and dangerous sex machine that’s constantly learning new things, what an impressive invention. Shame on you, Idia.

What is your hot take of Lilia and Azul mainly becoming friends to swap tips and talk about their boys' (Malleus and Idia) noises and expressions? Like do you think one would be curious and ask for video evidence or maybe the pair would bang in the same room

On the one hand, I feel like Lilia doesn’t treat Azul seriously enough to consider this (i.e. Azul is way too desperate), plus I’m not sure if Lilia and Malleus’ affair is a secret or not. But on the other hand, Lilia loves talking about his boys way too much, so I can see how Azul could get him talking. You just ask correct questions, and at some point Lilia just starts going “oh yeah that one time Malleus really did this thing…” and spilling way too much information to Azul, possibly the worst person to have this conversation with lol And Lilia would also be very interested in Azul’s stories about Idia, mainly because Idia intrigues him.

I can’t believe this actually could work wow.

But would they bang in the same room? Honestly, Lilia and Azul both are kind of unhinged, so if the starts alignm it could happen. It would be such an amazing networking event for Azul lol but at the same time, Azul and Idia both are way too shy to do something like this~

So like I MOSTLY ship Lilia/Idia for the age gap and dichotomy of it all. A charismatic old man who looks like he's a short, cute kid with a tall scrawny emotional wreck of a teenager is just SO inherently fun all on it's own. It's a blast. But also, I have been thinking about this more seriously lately because my faaavorite thing about sleeping beauty that's almost never carried over to remakes is the dramatic irony with aurora and philip's relationship

A princess who doesn't know she's a princess falls in love with a prince who she doesn't know she's engaged to, but she finds out she's engaged and doesn't even know that she's engaged to him. There's a lot you can do to play around with that in a story, where the audience knows this but the characters don't. It's super fun!!! When all the pieces come together in the end, it's really satisfying too!!!!

I'm always disappointed when remakes cut out the dramatic irony of it all, so in twst, despite nothing like that happening with silver outside of the princess part lol I can see a lot of similarities with Lilia and Idia being online friends who don't know that they actually know each other irl, and I won't spoil it here, but some events that have gone down in book 7 make me really excited to see if there will be more references to aurora and philip's relationship between them. I'm suuuuch a big fan of it I'm PUMPED!!!!!!!!!

First of all! I absolutely agree about what you said about Lilia/Idia’s visual and characteristic contrast (well this isn’t surprising to hear lol): they’re just stupidly fun to look at and watch. The age gap also adds a lot to their dynamic.

Second of all, yeah THE COMPARISON REALLY MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. The fact that Lilia and Idia are so close already without even realising makes this ship so amazingly interesting and sweet and funny and cute and hot and dramatic at the same time!! And while I don’t know what exactly you’re referring to (you already know, we haven’t watched book7 yet), but we’ve been thinking about the main story giving Lilidia a painfully tasty moment for a long time now. Yana Toboso looooves her setups and long games with satisfying payoffs, and she’s definitely been preparing something for these two.

Fun fact: Aurora has been my absolute favourite Disney Princess, and even though we’re yet to rewatch the Sleeping Beauty, your ask really got me excited about it. And about book 7 too..! I’m really looking forward to it.

Otayuri week, Day 5

~Fears(Misunderstaning,Jealousy,fights)~

Word Count: 1441

Summary: JJ gets to Yuri after a long day of annoyances and he just takes it to heart when he knows full well that JJ is always just being a shithead.

_

 It had been a long day for Yuri, first he slept through his alarm which made him skip breakfast and listen to Yakov and Lilia yell at him before they pushed him harder in training he did all that on an empty stomach, then he had to deal with Viktor who wanted to double date with him and Otabek and just wasn’t taking no for an answer, then he had to go and deal with the bank who had cancelled his credit card for some stupid reason, so when he entered the ice rink all he wanted to do was practice quietly and then head to Otabek’s apartment for dinner and possibly some kisses, but no, JJ was there to fuck with him…

“Shut up! you shithead!” Yuri yelled at JJ in the men’s change room

JJ shook his head “How does Otabek put up with you? You can be really mean sometimes, I don’t expect you two to last much longer, especially the way you can tell Otabek is getting over your childish tantrums and horrible remarks to other people, I’m surprised he lasted this long with you to be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if he dumped your childish ass today”

“PISS OFF!” Yuri slammed the change room door and headed towards the ice rink

‘How does he put up with me?’ Yuri thought to himself ‘I would have gotten annoyed with myself ages ago, maybe he’s too nice to dump me?’

 Yuri entered the rink and heard laughing, as he looked around he spotted Mila ‘Who would find that hag funny?’ But as he got closer he saw it was Otabek to was laughing with her ‘What the hell?! Ok Yuri calm down don’t get worked up that might push Otabek over the edge and finally just get rid of you, he’s going to leave you just like your parents and Viktor and everyone else you got close with!’ Yuri took a deep breath in and let it out slowly

“Hello Yuri!” He heard Mila call out to him but he ignored her completely he didn’t need to be more distracted than he already was

Throughout his training he could he the joint laughter of Mila and Otabek, which every time he heard them he would fail a jump and land on the cold icy ground, his fingers were going red and numb from having to push himself off the floor continuously

“Come on Yuri! Stop falling shorty!” Mila called out from the sidelines where she was standing with Otabek

Yuri overheard Otabek laugh at Mila’s comment ‘Is he laughing at me?!’ Yuri felt tears well up in his green eyes ‘What the hell! Why am I tearing up at that?!’ His instincts were yelling at him to get off the ice and to somewhere private where he could calm down and wipe the tears that threatened to fall down his face, so he did just that he spun around and headed towards the exit furthest away from where Mila and Otabek were standing

“YURA!” he heard Otabek yell as he threw off his skates and ran in sock clad feet towards the men’s toilets, the toilets were empty to he ran into the closest stall and locked the door behind him, sitting on the closed toilet seat he began to take deep breaths trying to not make it sound like he was crying pathetically in a toilet stall ‘What am I doing?! Piggy is the only one who cries like a baby in a bathroom stall’

 “Yuri? Are you ok?” Yuri heard Otabek ask “Is your stomach ok?”

Of course Otabek would think Yuri just needed to actually use the bathroom and not have a tiny breakdown in one “Leave me alone” Yuri said his voice wavering, he could see Otabek’s shoes from under the stall door

That got Otabek’s attention “Yura? What’s the matter?”

As soon as the words ‘what’s the matter’ left Otabek’s mouth Yuri chocked of a sob, which made Otabek jiggle the door handle “Let me in Yuri”

“No! Just go away!”

“Yuri I can tell that you’re upset, please let me in so I can help you”

“My stomach hurts that’s it! Now go!” Yuri lied through his teeth, he didn’t want Otabek to see him as a sobbing mess, he’d done enough of that when he won gold at the grand prix final

“Please Yura”

Yuri stood up from the toilet and to a step towards the “Please just go”

“No I’m not leaving you here by yourself when I know that your upset!”

Yuri unlocked the door with blurry tear filled eyes ready for what JJ said to come true, as soon as Otabek’s dark eyes, that Yuri couldn’t get enough of, landed on Yuri’s tear soaked face he grabbed Yuri by the shoulders and shoved him into his large chest

“Please tell me what’s wrong or who I have to beat up to make you feel better”

“Me” was all Yuri said before the floodgates broke and he clung to Otabek like a baby koala to its mother

“What?” Otabek asked confused “What does that mean” he pulled Yuri from his arms and put his hands on either side of his cheeks brushing away the tears that were falling

“You…have to…beat me up…to make me…feel better” Yuri got out through his quiet sobs

“I could never hurt you” Otabek said seriously “And you would never deserve to be beaten up, ever”

“I do though!” Yuri said pushing Otabek away

Otabek wasn’t having it though as he grabbed a hold of Yuri’s wrist pulling him back “No you don’t, what’s made you feel this way?”

“Nothing! I just figured out that I’m a piece of shit!”

“Yurachka! Don’t you ever say that!”

“Why not?! It’s true!” Yuri yelled trying to escape the grip Otabek had on his wrist

“Yura…” Otabek begins to say before he feels Yuri twist and rip his wrist from Otabek’s strong but gentle grasp

“Why are you even still with me?!”

Completely shocked Otabek looks at a distraught Yuri “What?”

“Why are you even still with me?! I’m an asshole to pretty much everyone! Even to people I barely know! I throw tantrums like a child! I act like I’m superior to everybody else! I’m a piece of shit! Just dump me already and get it over with! Stop making me fall in love with you just to crush my heart when you decide you can’t deal with me anymore!” Yuri’s breath was coming out in gasps

“Yura! Please calm down” Otabek rubbed his back chanting “Deep breaths, in and out”

Yuri took a few gasps in and tried to slow his erratic breathing, once he got his breathing under control again he shoved Otabek’s comforting arm off from his shoulders

“Yuri what happened? Why are you being like this?”

Yuri shut his eyes and shook his head “Why do you stay with me Ota?”

Otabek moved slowly towards Yuri not wanting him to push him away again “Because I love you Yura”

“Why? I don’t understand why? Why haven’t you left yet like everyone else?”

“Everyone else what are you talking about?”

Yuri moved closer to Otabek so that they were almost touching “My parents left and then every friend I ever made left they said I was annoying and then Viktor left and he didn’t even think he just up and left without even telling me he just forgot about me like everyone else” before he knew it he was being pulled back into Otabek’s warm embrace

“Yuri, I could never and would never forget about or leave you, I love you too much to do that, and as for all those things you said about yourself I love them too they are you and without all your tantrums and superiority you wouldn’t be the Yurachka I fell in love with, you’d be an entirely different person, probably someone boring and unlovable”

Yuri let out a teary laugh “I love you too you know”

Otabek kissed the top of Yuri’s head “I’m glad, now tell me what happened”

“It was nothing I’ve just had a long day and JJ got to me as usual” Yuri whispered in a tried voice

Otabek frowned “What did JJ say?”

“Don’t worry” Yuri pulled away from the loving hug “I just want to go home I think”

Otabek nodded noting in his head to have a chat with JJ the next time he was alone in a room with him, but for now he wanted to get Yuri home and show him how much he did love him

A/N: I could’ve turned this into a chaptered fic with just insecure Yuri with just so much angst but this isn’t a chaptered fic, not to say that I couldn’t turn it into one, anyway enjoy lol

7. “Just Trust Me” (Lilia Vanrouge x Reader)

@lynni-lumi Hewwo young one! 💓 Thank you so much for your wishes and participating in my special! 🥺💕 This is for you! I do hope you enjoy this little fic! I love you so much and stay cursed 🙃 (Don’t tell father I told you to continue being cursed 👀🤫)

“Lilia-senpai?” You asked your friend, Sebek.

“Yes, Lilia-sama said he wants to meet you later after classes.” Sebek said and turned to leave.

“Just meet him in the library after your last class!” Sebek added whilst walking away from you.

“Hmm… After class? What could he possibly want?” You muttered to yourself, deep in thought. So deep in thought, that you didn’t even hear the school bell ringing, signaling it was time for you to head back to class. It wasn’t until a familiar voice snapped you out of your thoughts.

“Fgnaaaa! (Y/N)! The bell rang!!” Grim thrashed around in your embrace. You rapidly shook your head, waking yourself up.

“Ah!! You’re right! We better hurry or else we’ll be late.” You said and rushed to your next class with Grim in your arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“And that’ll conclude our lesson for today. Do remember to do your homework and hand them in tomorrow.” Professor Trein said, followed with a meow by Lucius.

“Thank goodness that’s that.” You said to yourself in a low voice. You looked over to Grim, who slept soundly beside you. You smiled a little before petting him and started to pack up your stuff. As you did, you noticed you had a large amount of homework.

“What is this madness? Professor Trein can’t seriously expect us to finish all this in a day right?” You said as you flipped through all the assignments and homework you had.

“Looks like we’ll have to hit the library.” You said as you ran a hand through your hair. “Come on Grim.” You said, grabbed Grim and headed straight to the library.

You ran as fast as you could to get to your destination. You couldn’t afford to waste time as the amount of homework that befell you was quite terrifying. On your way, you happened to bump into Sebek. He was on his way to your classroom to remind you of your meeting with Lilia.

“(Y/N)! Where are you going? Did you remember to-“ He was cut off as you ran past him.

“I’m heading for the library!!” You yelled back to your friend, only homework present on your mind.

“Oh, alright.” Sebek said, thinking that you remembered to meet his vice dorm leader instead. “At least (Y/N) remembered, I swear that human is so forgetful.” Sebek muttered to himself and went off to find Malleus to make sure he’s okay.

“Yanno, we shouldn’t be rushing…” Grim said from your arms.

“And why is that?” You asked the furball as you navigated your way to the library.

“I mean, it’s just school work right?” Grim said, yawning a little. “It’ll be alright if we skipped a little.”

“Do you want to get kicked out of this school?” You asked again, slightly irked that Grim didn’t take his studies as seriously as you did. “Or do you want to have a punishment of no tuna for a year?” You smirked.

Grim’s face paled at your words.

“Yanno, hurry up to the library (Y/N)! We can’t afford to lose time!!” Grim said, pumped and ready to bounce into studying mode.

“Of course, that’s what I’m doing.” You laughed and dashed to your destination.

“Phew… Made it…” You slowed down to a jog when the library was in your sights. You entered the library and searched for a table to sit down at.

“We should get a few reference books first, stay here Grim, I’m going to grab a few books and I’ll be back.” You said, and went to the shelves in search of Magical History reference books. Little did you know, a pair of eyes were looking at you from afar.

Once you found the books you needed, you went back to your table. You and Grim then began to sort out the homework you two needed to do.  

“So… We should start with this one first…” You said in a soft voice and Grim settled himself in your lap, accompanying you.

“Great to see that you’ve arrived (Y/N).” A voice spoke out, making you jump. You looked to the source of the voice, which was upwards and saw the face of a familiar vice dorm leader.

“L-Lilia-senpai?!” You yelled out. “Wait…” You stopped yourself and remembered something.

You were supposed to meet him at the library, weren’t you?

“Ah…” You internally facepalmed at yourself.

“Fufufu, (Y/N), don’t tell me you’ve forgotten…” Lilia said with a small smile on his face as he floated down and sat in the chair beside you.

“I’m so sorry Lilia-senpai! I… I did forget because I was preoccupied with Professor Trein’s homework!” You bowed your head to your upperclassman.

“Oh? Homework?” Lilia asked as you opened a book and scanned the words written on it.

“Yeah, Professor Trein dropped this huge pile of it on us and he expects us to hand it all in by tomorrow…” You said, writing down answers that you found in the reference books. Lilia picked up one of your books and flipped through it.

“Do you really need this many reference books though?” Lilia asked again as he inspected the amount of books you had brought from the shelves of the library to your table.

“I think so?” You answered but you weren’t sure yourself either. “Magical History isn’t mine nor Grim’s best subject, I thought that with the reference books, I might be able to understand and complete the homework as soon as possible.”

“Fufufu, you know, Magical History is my best subject.” Lilia said with a small smirk plastered on his face. You looked to him with little sparkles in your eyes.

“Really?” You asked and he nodded. “Then, can you tutor me Lilia-senpai?” You asked your upperclassman. Lilia was slightly taken aback with the cute expression you gave him while you asked for his help on your homework.

“O-Of course, since you asked so nicely.” Lilia replied, trying to recompose himself after being taken aback by your cute expression. You smiled and said thank you to your upperclassman.

‘Even though I wanted to do other things with you… Oh well, they can wait.’ Lilia thought as he started looking at your homework.

“Shall we begin?” He asked and you nodded.

“Alright, let’s start with the types of magic used 100 years ago.” Lilia said.

After a few hours, it seemed like the homework just never ends. As you finished one, another immediately replaced the former work’s place. To you, even though you had made progress, it felt like you didn’t even move a single inch from the starting point. Truth be told, you were getting grumpy, you were slowly giving up and telling yourself that it’s better to give up then and just come up with an excuse.

You loosened your grip on your pen and sighed. You looked to see Grim asleep, again. You shook and slowly lowered your head.

“Oh, what’s the point, I’m never going to understand and finish the homework.” You grumbled lowly.

However, your grumblings didn’t go unnoticed by Lilia.

“Now, now, (Y/N), feeling down are we?” Your upperclassman turned to you as he set down the book in his hands.

“I mean, look at the amount of left! It’s hopeless.” You rested your head on the table, your arms covering your face as you felt disappointed in yourself.

“I knew I wasn’t good enough to be at this school. Why am I even here in the first place?” You said softly.

That, ticked off Lilia. How dare you question that? Do you not know of your value to other students?

Do you not know of your value to him?

“(Y/N). Look at me.” Your upperclassman ordered you. You hesitantly rose your head and turned to face the vice dorm leader of Diasomnia.

“Do not ever doubt yourself, do you hear me?” Lilia said with a serious tone.

“You are going to finish this homework in time, no matter what.” Lilia looked at you straight in the eye and said so.

“And I’m not leaving your side until then.” He added on, his hand had a firm grip on yours.

“B-But-“ You tried to reason and look away but Lilia cut you off.

“Just trust me.” Lilia said, his red eyes full of reassurance, honesty and support burning into yours. His hand slightly squeezed yours to let you know that he was there for you and he isn’t going anywhere. You knew he wasn’t lying as he said those words and you were glad that he wasn’t.

“Alright. Thank you Lilia-senpai.” You said to him, determination filling your eyes once again.

“It’s my pleasure.” He said with a smile. “Now, let’s pick up where we left off.” And the two of you set off to work again.

“Hmm… The answer should be the first one. Since, the second theory got dismissed 50 years ago for its points couldn’t be certain by historians.” Lilia said and you wrote down the answer.

“And that should be it.” Lilia said and closed the book.

“We… We actually finished!” You said in shock as you finished writing down your answer.

“Do you see now? I told you that you’d finish the homework.” Lilia said.

“And it’s all thanks to you Lilia-senpai!” You smiled brightly to him, then, a thought popped into your head. “Ah! That’s right! Lilia-senpai, didn’t you wanted to meet me here? What did you need?” You asked. Lilia just looked at you with wide eyes, he had completely forgotten why he had invited you to the library in the first place, after all, he got carried away with tutoring you.

“Oh… I just wanted to invite you to have tea at Diasomnia, that’s all.” Lilia replied to you, closing his eyes.

“Ah? Then… How about tomorrow?” You suggested to him. “After classes that is.”

“That sounds lovely.” Lilia smiled to you. “Feel free to bring any homework that you have difficulties with and we can discuss it while having tea.” He added and you smiled brightly at him.

“Thank you Lilia-senpai! You’re the best! Oh, it’s getting late, I should probably prepare for bed. Then, I’ll see you tomorrow after class Lilia-senpai!” You gave him a quick peck on his cheek and dashed off with your homework and a sleeping Grim in your embrace.

Oh, if only you knew how flustered the vice dorm leader of Diasomnia was after that little kiss. His face as red as Riddle’s hair, his eyes as wide as saucers. After fully registering what you had just done, he slowly brought a hand up to his cheek and slowly let out a smile.

“Thank you for trusting me, (Y/N).”
