Malleus is incredibly affectionate, but in an old-fashioned, grand way. He isn't used to casual physical touch, so he treats you like a rare, fragile treasure. He loves pressing his forehead against yours or shielding you with his heavy coat.
B = Baking (Do they like baking for you?)
He is fascinated by the process, though his magic tends to accidentally over-bake things. He prefers watching you bake. He will gladly act as your official taste-tester, looking thoroughly charmed by the simple joy of a homemade pastry.
C = Cuddles (How do they cuddle?)
His cuddles are enveloping and warm due to his dragon fae physiology. Malleus likes to wrap his large frame entirely around you, trapping you in a cozy cocoon. He often drapes his long, dark cape over both of you for extra privacy.
D = Dates (What are dates with them like?)
Dates are majestic, magical, and often spontaneous. He will take you on late-night walks through ruined castles, moonlit gargoyle tours, or summon a carpet of glowing fireflies in the botanical gardens just to see you smile.
E = Every day (What is a normal day like with them?)
A normal day involves Malleus popping up out of thin air to join you. Because he is usually isolated, any time spent with you is a holiday to him. He will walk you to class, proudly carrying your textbooks while ignoring the terrified stares of other students.
F = Favorites (What is their favorite thing about you?)
Your utter fearlessness around him. You invited him to hang out when everyone else ran away. He deeply treasures your casual warmth, your bright laughter, and the way you treat him as just "Malleus," not the terrifying Fae Prince.
G = Gentle (Are they gentle? Personalities/Physicality)
He is hyper-aware of his immense, destructive power and your human vulnerability. Malleus handles you with extreme caution. His large hands touch your face as gently as a falling leaf, terrified of accidentally hurting you.
H = Hands (How do they hold hands?)
His hands are large, cool to the touch, and feature sharp, dark nails. He prefers to let you take his hand first. Once you do, he gently clasps your hand, marveling at how perfectly your smaller fingers fit into his.
I = "I love you" (How do they say it?)
He uses grand, poetic language straight out of ancient courtly romances. He will call you his "guiding light," his "precious human," or his "heart's sanctuary." He says it with absolute, unwavering intensity that leaves no room for doubt.
J = Jealousy (Do they get jealous?)
Extremely jealous, though he expresses it like a true king. The air grows heavy, the temperature drops, and green lightning might crackle faintly around his horns. He will smoothly step between you and the offender, asserting his presence instantly.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like?)
His kisses are reverent and slow. Malleus loves kissing your knuckles, your cheeks, and the crown of your head before moving to your lips. They feel deeply romantic, like a fairytale spell breaking in real-time.
L = Little things (What little things do they do for you?)
He leaves small, magical tokens of appreciation for you to find. You might open your bag to find a perfectly preserved, glowing rose, a beautifully polished gemstone, or a rare gargoyle trinket he found on his nightly walks.
M = Morning (What are mornings like with them?)
Malleus is not a morning creature; he prefers the night. If he stays with you, he will grumble softly and pull you back down into the pillows. He loves watching the early morning sunlight hit your face while tracing your features.
N = Nights (What are nights like with them?)
Nights are when he is most active and relaxed. You two will spend hours stargazing on the roof of Ramshackle Dorm. He knows the history of every constellation and will softly whisper ancient dragon folklore into your ear.
O = Open (How open are they with you?)
He is surprisingly open because he has spent centuries with no one to confide in. Malleus will eagerly tell you about his childhood in the Valley of Thorns, his loneliness, and his deep curiosity about the human world.
P = Patience (How patient are they?)
As an immortal fae, his concept of time is vastly different from yours. He has infinite patience for you. He will happily wait hours just to catch a glimpse of you between classes or listen to you ramble about minor human drama.
Q = Quizzes (Do they help you study?)
He possesses centuries of historical and magical knowledge, making him an overpowered tutor. However, his explanations often dive into ancient history that isn't on your test. He gets easily distracted just watching you concentrate.
R = Remember (What do they remember about you?)
He remembers every single human detail, as your short lifespan makes every moment precious to him. He remembers the exact day you met, your favorite human foods, and even how many sugars you prefer in your tea.
S = Security (How protective are they?)
His protectiveness is unmatched. To threaten you is to invite the wrath of the Valley of Thorns. Lilia and Sebek usually handle physical threats, but Malleus keeps a passive, invisible protective barrier charm on you at all times.
T = Trust (How much do they trust you?)
He trusts you implicitly. You are one of the very few people permitted to touch his horns, which is an incredibly intimate gesture for a dragon fae. He trusts you with his vulnerabilities, his heart, and his future.
U = Unwind (How do you help them relax?)
You help him unwind by introducing him to mundane human things. Playing simple hand-held games, introducing him to a tamagotchi, or just brushing through his long, dark hair helps him shed the heavy weight of his royal crown.
V = Value (How much do you mean to them?)
You are his entire world. To an immortal being who has watched the world change for centuries, you are the singular anchor that makes his long life truly exciting and meaningful.
W = Whole (Do they feel whole with you?)
Yes. Before meeting you, Malleus felt like an isolated statue trapped on a pedestal. With you, he finally feels like he belongs somewhereβnot as a terrifying prince or a powerful mage, but simply as himself.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon)
He is completely mystified by modern human technology. If you send him a text message with emojis, he will spend hours analyzing the "hieroglyphics" and ask Lilia for a formal translation of what a sparkly heart means.
Y = Yearning (How do they cope with missing you?)
He does not cope well. Thunderstorms will randomly gather over Night Raven College when he is lonely. He will stand outside your dorm window in the rain, staring up at your lights like a melancholic, modern-day dragon.
Z = ZZzz (Sleeping habits)
Malleus sleeps heavily once he finally drifts off. He loves curling his tail (if prompted by his draconic instincts) or his arms tightly around you, using your warm, human heartbeat as a soothing lullaby to keep away nightmares.
malleus is the type of person who could spend hours talking about the stars without ever getting bored, so what starts as a simple evening walk somehow turns into the two of you lying in the grass together while he points out constellations overhead. the night is quiet, the air cool, and for once there are no duties, no meetings, and no responsibilities demanding his attention. it's just you and him beneath a sky full of stars. malleus seems perfectly content simply being there, occasionally telling you stories about old legends connected to the constellations or listening when you point out shapes that definitely aren't official star patterns. at some point, you notice he's gone quiet. when you glance over, he's already looking at you. not in a dramatic way. not even intentionally, really. he simply got distracted. the sight of you gazing up at the stars somehow became more interesting than the stars themselves. the realization makes him look away almost immediately, a faint flush dusting his cheeks. fortunately, the darkness hides it. unfortunately, it does absolutely nothing to stop his heart from acting strangely. when you eventually lean against his shoulder to get comfortable, malleus freezes for a moment before carefully relaxing, as though afraid he'll scare the moment away if he moves too quickly. the rest of the evening passes in comfortable silence, and although he continues talking about the stars, his attention never strays very far from you. later, long after you've gone home, malleus finds himself looking up at the night sky again. the stars are exactly the same as they were before. yet somehow the evening feels brighter simply because you were there to share it with him.
Malleus: *Maleficia denied his request to abdicate*
Malleus: ...
MC: ...
MC: *sighs* *sits beside him* Good thing your grandmother still let me visit you. She didn't listen to the Senate when they claimed I was the one who manipulated you into giving up the throne.
Malleus: ...
Malleus: I desire nothing more than for us to be an ordinary couple, child of manβone where you need not hesitate to acknowledge our bond.
MC: ...
MC: I want that tooβmore than anything else. But I can't live for hundreds of years. If you're going to give up everything just for me, what will you have left when I'm gone, hm?
Malleus: ...
Malleus: Then I shall resort to necromancy.
MC: Mal, no. I'll hate it.
Maleficia: Has my foolish grandson come to his senses?
MC: Yes, Your Majesty.
Maleficia: *lets out a quiet sigh* If he truly wishes to marry you, I could make you his secondary consort. However, you would inevitably become entangled in political struggles. I do not wish for you to endure such hardships, nor do I wish for others to see you as an opportunity to exploit my grandson's greatest weakness.
MC: ...
MC: If that's the case, then I'll keep a low profile.
Maleficia: Are you certain?
MC: Yes. I have no need for status, and I'll be nothing more than a fleeting moment in Malleus's long life. *smiles to themself* Even so, I want to make him happy for as long as I live.
The first time Silver stays awake a full day is as normal as any other.
There's no fanfare.
There are no bursts of magic.
It was a normal day.
He and Sebek retired for the night, bidding their Lord Malleus and Lilia to sleep when the realization struck.
"Silver! You better not fall asleep before we tell our Lords goodnight!"
"Sebek, I haven't slept all day." Silver sighs, "I'm not sleepy-"
It was at that moment Silver realized. Sebek's eyes widened as he realized it too.
Silver hadn't fallen asleep at all today.
"Silver? Youβ¦didn'tβ¦fall asleep today?"
They both turned to see Lilia and Malleus staring with identical expressions of shock.
"I didn'tβ¦" Tears fell as it finally hit him.
He didn't fall asleep.
"Silver! My son!" Lilia hugged him, his voice shaking; only then did Silver sob into his father's arms.
Malleus and Sebek joined them in the hug.
Malleus patted Silver on the head, "You've done well, Silver."
"Congratulation, Silver!"
Finally, Silver is free.
The curse broken.
I've been thinking of the first time Silver stays awake a full day and how Diasomnia would react. It hit me in the feels so much to think about this moment.
The relief, the emotions, after so, so long struggling with this curse. He was finally free. It would make anyone emotional. π₯°π₯Ήπ

[^made by me^]

~
Heartslabyul πΉ
Everyone insists they're "happy" for Yuu... but no one is taking it well.
Ace keeps making jokes because if he stops joking, he'll probably cry.
Deuce promises they'll meet again somehow, even if he has to become "the first honor student to invent dimension travel."
Cater scrolls through his camera roll and realize Yuu's in none of them. They had always been the one taking pictures.
Trey packs snacks for them, saying they'll probably miss Night Raven College food.
Riddle prepares a proper farewell tea party according to every rule in the Queen's regulations... but halfway through he pauses because he realizes this is goodbye.
Before Yuu leaves, Riddle thanks them sincerely.
"You changed more than just this dorm."
Ace ends up crying anyway btw.
Savanaclaw πͺ
They all pretend it isn't a big deal.
It absolutely is.
Jack walks Yuu to the mirror in silence.
He eventually says:
"Come back if you can."
Ruggie grumbles about losing someone who always shared food, even tho its more than that.
He secretly slips lucky charms into Yuu's bag.
Leona acts like he's asleep during the farewell. He just wouldn't be able to let them go, wouldn't be able to say goodbye.
After Yuu leaves...
Leona asks,
"...They gone?"
When someone nods...
"...Tch."
He sleeps the rest of the day, and the days following.
No one mentions his ears were down.
Octavinelle π
Azul immediately begins researching ways to reopen dimensional travel, totally for business reasons. I mean, if Yuu's world were to be accessible, he'd get more customers....That's all he cares about...Totally.
Floyd dramatically clings to Yuu.
"Shriiimppppy! You can't leave!"
Jade smiles politely.
His eyes absolutely are not smiling.
Azul actually tears up while trying very hard not to.
He gives Yuu one final contract.
The contract simply says:
"Should our worlds ever reconnect, you are guaranteed lifelong hospitality at the Mostro Lounge."
Not a single shady outcome, just friendship.
Scarabia βοΈ
Kalim throws a goodbye celebration that somehow includes half the school.
Nobody has fun.
Everyone is crying.
Kalim hugs Yuu about fifty times.
Jamil helps pack everything neatly.
When no one's looking...
Jamil quietly says,
"Take care of yourself."
It's probably the softest thing anyone's ever heard him say.
Kalim cries so much Yuu almost misses the portal because they're comforting him.
Pomefiore π
Vil insists Yuu leave looking perfect.
New outfit.
Hair fixed.
No arguments.
Stuff everyone could've offered them long ago, but they've all abused of their kindness instead without returning the ounce of kindness.
"Your first impression back home matters."
Rook somehow turns the farewell into poetry.
He's crying while complimenting the beauty of fleeting encounters.
Epel keeps trying not to cry.
Fails immediately, he cries out ugly, Vil can't even scold him.
After Yuu disappears..
Vil waits until everyone leaves before allowing himself one quiet moment to grieve.
Ignihyde π
Idia prepared for this, emotionally AND mentally. He's watched animes !
He still blue screens.
Ortho gives Yuu a tiny device.
"It won't work in another universe... but maybe it'll remind you of us."
Idia refuses to attend the farewell.
When Yuu reaches the mirror...
A message suddenly appears on their phone.
"GG, Prefect. Thanks for clearing this impossible game.
Hope your next world has better tutorials."
Diasomnia π
Nobody takes it well, especially not Malleus.
Sebek loudly declares Yuu deserves a royal sendoff.
Silver quietly gives Yuu a flower some animals brought him.
Lilia smiles the whole time.
Which somehow makes it hurt even more.
Malleus asks:
"...Must you go?"
Yuu explains they have family waiting, a home.
A place they haven't seen in so long.
Malleus understands.
He just doesn't like it.
Before Yuu steps through...
He gently takes their hand.
"You gave me a place in your story.
...Thank you."
It's the first time everyone hears genuine loneliness in the future king's voice.
Ramshackle π»
Grim refuses to believe it's happening.
"We'll just find another way! Henchhuman isn't leaving!"
Until the portal in the mirror actually opens.
Then reality hits.
He tackles Yuu into the biggest hug imaginable.
"You're my henchhuman!"
"Who's gonna yell at me now?!"
"Who's gonna buy me tuna?!"
Yuu promises they'll never forget him as Grim sobs.
modern magicless au where malleus is a cute librarian with no social life and youβre the libraryβs most frequent reader. The librarian seems so gloomy, and yet he always brightens up the moment you prance over asking for recommendations, rambling quietly as he wanders to the proper shelf.
He keeps everything meticulously organized, so it doesnβt take long. Heβll reach up for it for you, and then spend upwards of five minutes just whispering back and forth with you about other books, answering your questions, etc.
he enjoys your small discussions, and your quiet company in the library. So the first time you invited him out for a walk and some coffeeβ¦he was so happy he almost seemed proud of himself. He had to talk himself out of texting his adoptive father to say βsee?? I can make plenty of friends >:)β.
it only took him a few days and a conversation with said adoptive father to realize that wasnβt a walk between friendsβ¦ youβd just taken him on a date.
thus every time he saw you at the library afterwards, he would play it cool, not realizing just how brightly he was blushing
Hiii, I love your works!! <3 May I make a request?
How would the overblot boys react to a kiss from Reader pre-relationship?
Scenario example: Like, the boys and Reader are hanging out, the boys get sleepy/tired and the Reader is with them, and when the boys doze off, the Reader gives them a peck? (On the cheek/forehead/temple, etc. You can pick the area and it could be different for each boy, if you want!)
The kiss could wake them up or they could realize it the next morning! Do whatever, honestly! Go crazy!! Have fun!! That's the whole point!!
Thank you so much all the fics you write, it genuinely makes my day to see you post <<33
βItβs getting later babyβ
In which you and your crush are hanging out! (αα¨α) itβs been a few hours and by now heβs a little sleepyβ¦but he just looks so cute you canβt help but give him a small peck!
Overblot boys x gn!reader
Content warnings: reader is yuu/prefect, fluff, pre relationship, itβs crazy clear you guys have a crush on each other, confessions (malleus), with everyone else itβs heavily implied they share feelings and will confess later on!, cryptic couldnβt think of a better title gulpβ¦,maybe ooc during some parts please excuse that!
A/n: Ah hello, my dear! (Β΄β£`ΚΖͺ) thank you so much for the request! Itβs such a sweet concept I just have to write it! Thank you also for the sweet words, it truly makes me happy to know you enjoy my work! Some of these might run longer than others (mostly idia) but besides that I do hope you enjoy! (βΊ£β‘βΊ£)β‘
============================
Fun fact! did you know that if you feel sleepy around someone you love it isnβt boredom but a biological sign of deep emotion safety. Your brain interprets their presence as secure and safe so it turns off its own alert mode which in turn allows your body to rest (γ κοΉκ)
ββοΎ.*ο½₯ｑοΎ
Afternoon sunlight spilled through the warped glass of the ramshackle dorm windows, dust motes danced slowly in the air as the sun casted a warm golden hue across the wooden floorboards.
There was an old oak grandfather clock in the corner of the lounge room, one that had presumably been there for decadesβ¦the golden pendulum that sat dead center of it swung slowly from side to side, causing it to tick away in a steady and hypnotic rhythms. It was the only sound breathing the comfortable silence between the two of you
Truly this was a rare pocket of time you were gifted, it was peaceful and quiet which was a big change from the usual chaos loud you experienced in your new day to day life and you absolutely cherished it!
You were supposed to be studying for the latest history test coming up, you had to! With professor trein making the latest assignments excruciatingly difficult for no apparent reason you knew the test wouldnβt be any different!
Unfortunately this was the last resortβ¦fortunately, you had the best study partner in the world! who also just so happened to be the guy you were practically head over heels for
Your textbooks and notes were open and sprawled out on the wooden coffee table but your attention had long since drifted from the messy notes and books in front of you, instead your gaze kept wondering to the body that sat besides you on the worn out sofa
He had insisted on coming over under the guise of helping you study, this was a big test coming up after all!β¦or perhaps it was to keep you company, to have an excuse to hang out with you alone..hm maybe even both!
Over the past hour his usual sharp focus had begun to slowly slip. You watched, thoroughly endeared as he fought a losing battle against his own exhaustion. His eyelids fluttered shut and his breathing would even out before he stubbornly jerked awake not even a moment later, blinking repeatedly at a spot on the wall before the cycle repeated itself. Occasionally he would let out a soft mutter, one that was meant to be a reply to questions you had asked but even that began to slow.
Finally, with one soft, quiet sigh that sounded entirely too vulnerable, he surrendered to his own exhaustion. His head tipped to the side for a moment before coming to rest against the plush back of the couch before eventually falling asleep
You hadnβt noticed as you were reading over some of your own notes, referencing one of the textbooks to make sure you had the correct information
βOhhhβ¦oh! Okay so I think I got it now, the queen of hearts would play croquet using flamingos for mallets and hedgehogs for balls..? Well what aboutβ¦β
Slowly your voice trailed off as you finally looked over at him, expecting to see him wide awake instead you were met with the surprise of his sleeping figure. He looked truly ethereal as his chest slowly rose and fell, breathing evened out as he slept peacefully
Slowly you set the notes down, the urge to study was completely thrown out the window. Without the burden of his past weighing him down, his duties, and just the basic everyday stress that fell upon him to keep up with classes, his features were completely transformed into something that was the equivalent of calm..
The air in the room suddenly felt thicker, it was charged with unspoken tension that had been building up between the two of you for months before this
-The lingering looks that lasted for a second too long
-The βaccidentalβ brush of hands in the halls as he walked you to your next class
-The way he seemed to gravitate toward you in a crowded room, completely ignoring everyone else around him
-The way he looked at you like you hung the moon just for himβ¦a look he saved only for you.
All of these things others around you seemed to catch. They knew how you felt about him I mean you even knew how you felt about him! Your heart would always do a frantic little dance against your ribs just by him being in the same room as you!
You were almost certain he felt the same about you
Almost..
Your eyes traced the curve of his cheek, the shape of his nose, focusing on the tiny details on his skin as you smiled to yourself before letting out a soft sigh
You wanted to let him rest, you could finish up studying by yourself and hey, just having him here with you no matter if he was asleep while you studied wasnβt so bad!
Without thinking too much about it you shifted closer, slowly moving as to not make the old and rusty springs of the sofa cushions creak. You hovered just inches from him, close enough to feel the faint warmth radiating from his skin before you leaned in all the way, pressing a quick but oh so tender and lingering kiss to his skin..
============================
Riddle Rosehearts πΉ (cheek)
The second your lips leave his cheek his eyes snap open. It takes him only a second to process that you the first person heβs ever pinned over just kissed him
That second that he process things he quickly bolts upright, so quickly in fact one could assume heβd just been electrocuted
His cheeks immediately flush, the color that dusts his cheeks and travels all the way up to his ears rivaled the red of his hair. His mouth slightly agape as he stares at you with wide eyes
"What..what on earth do you think you're doing!?" He stammers out quickly as his voice was an octave higher than usual. He wasnβt mad by any means! No no..heβs just completely flustered and itβs so painfully clear.
He scrambles backwards, pressing himself into the armrest of the sofa that creaks slightly under the sudden shift of his body, his hand finds itβs way to his cheek as he touches the spot you kissed
βOne must not!β¦you simply cannotβ¦unsolicited..!β He scrambles for words, blurting out anything that came to his mind but all he can think about is the kiss, one he wished he couldβve been fully awake for, one he wanted to initiate more than anythingβ¦not that he would admit it
Thereβs a furious fluttering of his heart, one thatβs much too distracting as he completely gives up on trying to speak for a moment. Truthfully he didnβt know how his heart didnβt jump out of his chest and run out of the room right then and there!
The moment he registers that soft and amused look youβre giving him he letβs out a soft huff, gaze moving over to look at the table for a moment before looking back at you
"T-this is highly inappropriate and unacceptable for a study environment, prefect! If you do not wish to study anymore I will be taking my leave!" He mutters out as he stands up, frantically grabbing his notes and textbooks with trembling hands
His usual put together composer wasβ¦well it was completely broken!
Before he practically sprints out of the door he stops, his back faces you as he looks down at his feet for a moment, arms tightening around his books and notes
"Ahem, Prefect..I believe we can study another time. Please clear your schedule for this saturday. I would...like to host a private tea party. Just the two of us so l expect you not to be late!" With that..he takes his leave, he knew heβd have a lot to discuss with you the upcoming saturday and he was nervousβ¦
Though past that nervousness the thought of opening a new chapter with you only made his heart flutter more
ββοΎ.*ο½₯ｑοΎ
Leona Kingscholar π¦ (temple)
A fun little secret here..he wasnβt actually asleep! Fun right? He was simply resting his eyes, enjoying the quiet as you scribbled things down on a loose sheet of paperβ¦that was until you leaned in
The second your lips brushed against his temple his hand swiftly shoots up, his fingers loosely but securely wrap around your wrist as he keeps his expression the same, his eyes not opening as he stays silent for a moment. His tail swishing slowly from side to side before stopping.
The passing moment was one that seemed much longer to you than it actually was
βOi. Youβre getting awfully bold, herbivore.β His voice is thick and vibrating with that smug satisfaction that makes your stomach flip
A triumphant smirk slowly tugs at his lips as he opens one eye to look at you, his gaze was more gentle than usual as he kept a hold of your wrist
A second passes before he lets out a soft chuff. You freeze at his touch, your cheeks heating up as you try to pull away only for him to not let goβ¦Instead he gently tugs you forward with ease
He shifts his body with you so his back head is against the arm rest of the couch with you landing on top of him with a soft thud
Your head laid snug against his chest as he adjusted himself just a little more for your comfort and his
βThink you can just sneak up on me like that and get away with it?β He murmurs as he wraps one arm securely around your waist, both of his eyes are open now as he looks down at you
You can feel his eyes on you, slowly you look up just enough to meet his gaze, to your surprise THE leona kingscholarβs cheeks are flushed with a rosy pink, his pupils slightly blown as his tail wrapped around your leg protectively
He closes his eyes again, allowing his head to lay against the arm rest again as he letβs out a content sigh
βLook. Screw the studying I can always just give you the notes for this anyways. You owe me for this little stunt you pulled so just lay down. When we wake up weβre gonna have a long talk about this so donβt even think about moving.β
With that he goes silent for one last time before slipping into unconsciousness, his arm still wrapped around your waist as his tail stayed curled around your leg
The textbooks and notes were long forgotten on the table as you laid your head back down on his chest, you knew what he wanted to talk about and honestly? No words could explain how nervous you wereβ¦
Despite that you slowly followed in his footsteps as you felt yourself getting sleepier. Melting into his touch you drifted off in his arms
Heβd never admit it but heβs also nervousβ¦but also proud. Proud that heβd soon be able to call you his.
ββοΎ.*ο½₯ｑοΎ
Azul Ashengrotto π (forehead)
Due to his naturally cautious nature and the fact heβs a sensitive sleeper thanks to the fact heβs still not quite used to sleeping in places that arenβt hallow and hard he feels the shift in the air before you even lean in
By the time your lips press against his forehead, heβs very hyper aware of your every breath and movement, his body tensing up slightly as he keeps his eyes closed
Youβd think he was a statue as he remains perfectly still, maintaining a flawless and almost oscar worthy illusion of a deep sleepβ¦unfortunately for him the tips of his ears betray him as they burn a rosy pink, a shade that matches his flushed cheeks!
Internally, his mind is racing a million miles a second as he tries to calculate exactly what this means the both of you. Alongside that he wonders if you meant to do that..
Sure no one has really ever accidentally kissed someone elseβs forehead like that but what if you did! What if it wasnβt an accident though? Did you do it as a way to taunt him? No..no that wasnβt you. He knew that wasnβt you but unfortunately those thoughts lingered at the back of his mind
It takes him ten agonizing minutes to pretend that he was waking up, he sprinkled in a soft groan and soft huff just to seal the illusion that he was fast asleep..
Even if you had seen right through it
When he sits up, he carefully adjusts his glasses with shaky hands as he letβs his eyes slowly open
βAh..my apologies, prefect.β Azul clears his throat softly as he puts on his normal put together front. He looks down at the table, refusing to look directly into your eyes lest he dies of embarrassment
There was a passing moment as he sits up straighter than before, his hands folded neatly in his lap
βI seem to have dozen off. How terribly unprofessional of me.β He smoothes down his blazer, attempting to regain a sliver of his composer
His heart is practically throwing itself against his ribs as he builds up the confidence to meet your gaze, any nervousness covered up by a calm front
A small, sly smile eventually finds a way to his lips as he nods once at you
βI would be more than happy to leave my note guide with you free of charge! And well..considering the unparalleled hospitality you have shown me today, I feel it is only right to repay my debt.β
His voice is softer than usual as he speaks, he leans forward a bit to grab just a few textbooks before he slides a neat stack of notes in your direction on the table
βI would love to see you at the lounge tomorrow evening at seven. A complementary VIP dinner, just for us. Please consider it aβ¦well a business negotiation regarding our futureβ
He gives you one last nod before standing up, straightening out his uniform as he takes his leave.
The second the door shuts behind him heβs more nervous than before, already going through the motions of planning out thatβ¦vip dinnerβ¦COUGHCOUGH DATE..
ββοΎ.*ο½₯ｑοΎ
Jamil Viper π (jaw)
As a notoriously light sleeper (much like azul) whoβs always alert and extremely hyper vigilant, mostly due to the fact he has to be
Heβs awake the very second you lean into his personal space, the shift he feels on the cushion sending him into high alert.
Despite this the sheer unprecedented shock of the kiss you placed on his jaw freezes him entirely in his place
For the first time in his life, his mind goes completely blank..
He waits until you turn your back to grab a book before he slowly sits up. He raises his hand, his fingertips tentatively touching the warm spot on his jaw where your lips were not even a few seconds ago
His eyes widen for a moment as he realizes that just happened. You just kissed him. His heart pounds dangerously hard against his ribs, loud enough he fears you might hear it
By the time you turn back around, he violently slams his usual calm and collected facade back into place, though his dark eyes seem softer than they normally are
βSo do you make it a habit of startling people while they sleep?β He scolds, though his tone lacks any real bite
He crosses his arms as he looks away, looking at anything else in the room but you. Thereβs a tension as the two of you sit in silence. His body is tense but slowly relaxes as he shakes his head
βYou let your guard down entirely too easily. If it was anyone else..they couldβve reacted poorly to that.β He turns his head to look in your direction
When you just smile at him, that smile that makes his heart melt every time he sees it, his mouth opens slightly before he closes it again
He only sighs before standing up, gathering his belongings in a calm manner
βYouβre impossible you know that right? Look I hope studying helped. If you need anymore donβt hesitate to find me.β
With that he begins to make his way to the door, stopping infront of it as he turns his head just a little..just enough to look back at you
βKeep your schedule open next week. kalims been bugging me about throwing another banquet so chances are Iβm going to be stuck preparing that and in the kitchen so..swing by. You can be my taste tester. I also have practice just in case you want to go watch.β
The second the steps out of ramshackle he takes a deep breath. He knows that if heβs going to have that conversation with you he wouldnβt want it to be here.
He knows itβs going to be difficult once you two talk, with him always being busy and well just his situation in whole he knows how much of an impact this would have on you but he does want this to work so so badly

Vil Schoenheit π (cheek)
Now vil had never planned on falling asleep. He had gotten all of his usual hours that left him feeling refreshed and ready for the day so why had he suddenly been hit with a wave of exhaustion?
Perhaps it was the steady ticking of the clock and just the overall dingy atmosphere of ramshackle or perhapsβ¦it was your presence. Either way he had fallen fast asleep as you went over your notes
The moment you pulled back from his cheek he shifted slightly, his movements as graceful as ever. His eyelids soon fluttered open, amethyst eyes quickly finding you..
Somehow he looked even more beautiful than ever..truly like a painting that had perfection in every brush stroke. His skin was clear and almost looked like porcelain, his makeup was flawless, his hair was perfectly in place as per usual
He really was the fairest of them all
Despite his calm and unbothered exterior, deep inside his heart skipped a beat
Vil does not flush or stammer, no. Thatβs simply not him. Instead a genuine and breathtakingly soft smile breaks through his typical poised outside
He letβs out a soft chuff, his gaze softened significantly as he kept his hands clasped together on his lap
βHow charming. If you wanted to kiss me, potato, you should have simply asked.β He murmurs, his voice smooth like silk as his smile only softens
He would never allow anyone to kiss him unprompted. It was undignified and to do that to THE vil βshoenheit? You must be out of your mind!
Thoughβ¦when it comes to you? He could let it slide
He reaches out, his cool fingertips lingering on your jawline as he deliberately tucks a tray hair behind your ear slowly. His touch is gentle as he letβs his hand linger on your skin
The way he looks at you makes your heart flutter. His eyes look over your face for a moment and to him? It was like he was looking at the most beautiful work of art heβs ever seen.
βThough I suppose I can forgive your lack of decorum just this once.β He pauses for a moment, his finger tracing your jawline before he pulls his hand back
βI suppose the rustic charm of ramshackle does bring out oneβsβ¦baser instinctsβ
He stands up, soothing out his outfit that was already perfect so he didnβt really have to do itβ¦his eyes seem to never leave yours
As charming as this was, he wants to be the one to initiate a kiss, he wants to take you out on a romantic evening and confess to you the proper way and while ramshackle does have itβsβ¦well itβs own charms
Heβd prefer to set the mood before, even just a romantic spa day at βpomefiore would do it! Thereβs a pause before he holds his hand out to you, expecting you to take it
βCome along. Youβve already gotten the appropriate amount of studying in today and Iβd like you to walk with me back to pomefiore.β
The moment you take his hand he gives a small nod, he gracefully picks up his belongings in the other and leads you to the door
The walk over to his dorm was calm and he truly enjoyed your presence. Now all he needed to do was plan a day just for the two of you.
Much like jamil he is busyβ¦with him being a model and actor plus a student who takes his studies seriously thereβs never really much free time for him besides personal care hours
And he knows pursuing a relationship with you would mean the public going crazy over it maybe there would even be headlines but..he wanted to make it work. To finally call you his

Idia Shroud πΎ (cheek)
Idia wasnβt even really sure how he had gotten himself into this situation to begin with..
Maybe just maybe it was how you had mentioned that you had to study for this big history test, clearly stressing over it all while playing a new fps game with him in the safety of his room
The second those words left your mouth he practically leaped into the hero role
βPfttβ¦treinβs class is basically just an unskippable cutscene with a massive lore dump. My int stat for that class is basically maxed out so I could totally just slide you a guide and uh..help..you study i-if you want no pressure or uh anything like that!β
Ah! yeah..it was that..but hey he couldnβt help it! Somehow you managed to plant yourself into idias life and over time he grew to enjoy your company.
Given that ramshackle was also free of those god forsaken NPCS he wouldnβt be forced to interact with anyone he didnβt want to, he was practically in a safe zone!
It had been a few hours of studying and random conversations about some random gacha banners he had recently pulled from on his favorite game before he slumped against the armrest with his eyes closed
His social battery was almost entirely dead as he let himself fully relax..That was until you leaned into his personal space and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek
His eyes stayed shut in a desperate but to fake a deep sleep but his cheeks and hair betrayed him almost instantly, the flames of his hair flared up and the tips turned pink, one that matched the growing flush on his cheeks
He could practically hear his own heartbeat drumming deafeningly loud in his own ears as he tried so desperately to process the situation
A cold sweat broke out across the back of his neck as he sat there practically paralyzed, it wasnβt unwelcomed! No no it was just so sudden he didnβt have time to prepare himself
The second he heard your footsteps softly pad into the kitchen to grab a drink he moved with a surprising speed as he scrambled off of the couch not even bothering to pick up his notes as he almost tripped over his shoes
With that he bolted out the door so fast the hinges groaned in protest
For seven agonizing days you were left on read, every text you sent asking if he was okay, if youβd be able to swing by his room to play that one game you had recently taken interest in, if he wanted his notes back all simply seen without a reply
In person was even worse, the times that he didnβt go out heβd dodge you as quickly as he could, and honestly it kind of sucked
You had no explanation on what was happening and even asking ortho if he was okay seemed hopeless as well..he didnβt know what was wrong with his big brother either
On the evening of the eighth day though as you were trying to make a few repairs on ramshackle your phone buzzed
The moment you picked it up thatβs when you saw a notification from idia, a rather long paragraph but hey it was still a reply! The second your eyes scanned over the text a smile tugged at your lips
βHeyβ¦srry for being a total jerk and leaving u on read and also leaving randomly. U must hate me and I wouldnβt hold it against you. I totally threw that quick time event lolβ¦srry. If u want to vc tn you know Iβll be online, I also got more of those drinks u like if u want to come over to my room and hang out in person..hope weβre cool nowβ
All you can do is smile at his words before he begins to type again
βBtw player 2 slot is permanently reserved for you jsyk.β
ββ¦β
βThat was so cringe ignore plz.β
While idia isnβt exactly too familiar with dating (most of his knowledge from how things happen come from those cheesy romance animeβs and visual novels that are kind of unrealistic but hey itβs still something!) he does want to try
Heβs a bit awkward but willing work on that for you!

Malleus Draconia π (forehead)
Tonight it seemed there was a heavy exhaustion hanging over the fae, the calm and quiet of the evening lulling him to sleep as he let his head rest against the back of the couch
He looked beautiful. His usual sharp features softened completely in his sleep..truly it was a sight to behold!
The moment you placed a soft lingering kiss on his forehead, right between his dark horns his eyes opened, the slitted pupils dilating as he adjusted to the dim lighting of the room
They fix on you shortly after with an ancient warmth that makes your breath completely catch in your throat. Truth be told he felt the shift of the couch cushion, he could sense you were inching closer but he trusted you.
He knew your intentions with him were never ill and neither were his. Malleus was always completely vulnerable with you and even he knew that. Youβve captured this faes heart!
When you pull back to look at him fully his eyes are glued onto yours. He doesnβt startle and he doesnβt pull away. No..
Instead a warm smile tugs at his lips, your unprompted action making his heart fluttering in his chest. He shifts his weight as he sits up just enough to reach out to you and gently cup your cheek in his hand
Thereβs a pause as he takes a second to admire you. Really admire you. He had always found himself captivated you and this time was no different
βChild of man.β He murmurs his voice was deep yet oh so soft as he spoke
βYouβ¦you continue to be the most wondrous surprise in my long existence.β
His words are genuine, they always are. He doesnβt look flustered at all, rather, he looks as though a centuries old puzzle has finally clicked into place
And for him it had. You were the last piece, one that he had spent centuries looking for and finally there you were.
He slowly leans forward just enough to rest his forehead against yours with such delicacy as to not hurt you with his horns. He closes his eyes as he traces your cheekbone gently with his thumb
βI have lived for many centuries. I have been feared, respected, and isolatedβ¦yet, no one has ever dared to show me such gentle and fearless affection as I lay.β
He continues his movement on your cheekbone, his thumb moving in a slow left and right movement. He slowly opens his eyes, his gaze was soft and something only reserved for you
There was also a hint of undeniable certainty as he pulled back, removing his hand from your face he gently took ahold of your hands and squeezed them just a little
βI find myself captivated by your spirit. I cannot and will not keep this feeling hidden in the shadows any longer. I am completely and entirely yours if you will have me. I want to be the one you are betrothed to..β
The moment you accept his feelings heβs over the moon. His hands gently squeeze yours once more as he brings one of them up to his mouth, leaving a kiss on your warm skin in return
Malleus looks forward to your new life together! Heβs constantly at your side ready to do whatever you ask. Heβs smitten and as the prince of briar valley he wants nothing more than to have you be his royal consort..
============================
Another small a/n:
Hello! (Β΄β`) Iβm truly sorry for how long this took,,,Iβve been wrapped up in so many things as of late so writing is taking me longer than usual (*κ¦ΰΊ΄κ³κ¦ΰΊ΅) please excuse that malleus and jamils run a bit shorter..they are both characters Iβm still getting the hang of writing for and I donβt want to make them horribly ooc!
