Hey there o.o I really hope you're doing fine
I was really struggling to send this in because I know you’re going through a hard time right now and please take all the time you need with it. I just really had to get this idea out of my head and I couldn't think of anybody else who would write something for it as good as you
Okay so, Au where the school tries to integrate girls with some exchange students from another school and our Riddle-sized reader gets put in Octavinelle and, like, immediately has a babysitter squad (doesn't help that she's put in the same class as Azul).
Basically she can't make a step without the trio knowing where she is and she just can't take that anymore and tries to leave the dorm.
Surely our fish mafia doesn't like the idea of her running away
Stay healthy and I'm sending all the strength your way that I can^^
All good, right now I have a good rhythm going on but I’ll take a break when I need to ^^ Thanks for your request!
♡ Someone has to understand their side. New students always need help and leading, and now that there's a special new direction in place, the housewardens have an additional new task of ensuring everything goes appropriately and the women are integrated into their dorms and safe. It's a noble task in some way, even though Octavinelle doesn't have as much trouble as Savanaclaw or equality problems like Diasomnia. Still, Azul is diligent, and his friends are (mostly) loyal, so what he says goes. Of course, nothing less than the best is good enough for Azul, and he always needs to keep his influence in everyone's business to achieve that.
♡ Having one or two troublemakers was to be expected, but Azul honestly underestimated the feistiness of the other sex. (Not like he has that much experience with girls.) He was convinced he was doing them a favor by putting them under surveillance and with bodyguards if they wanted to go anywhere. Safety first, right? Wrong. Prime example? You. Feisty, quick on your feet, adorable you.
♡ Look, he gets it. You want to explore, have fun, and enjoy your college experience. But there's nothing saying you can't go into the forest with Jade, explore the school grounds with Floyd, and attend your classes with Azul. In fact, you should be thankful for the three since they are providing you protective friendships. Something you clearly need with how often you try to run away and out of their sights, and right into trouble. Not everyone is pleased with women enrolling at NRC, so it's good to have backup. You just haven't grasped the trio's usefulness yet.
♡ Azul has all the information you could possibly want. He can get you into any club, give you any study guide, a list of data about students so you can befriend them, and more! Just for the small price of batted eyelashes and a sweetly-spoken, "Azul, please?" He'll be a stammering, blushing mess as he goes off to get you whatever you want from him. It doesn't bother him and he won't charge you when you come to him with questions, sitting down with you and explaining how to solve the problems you are facing, explaining why and how. It can't bother him since you don't even notice him leaning in towards you, smelling your hair, watching you concentrate and work while he imagines the purest things with you, like holding your hand, feeding each other, having a romantic beach date. What more could he want?
♡ Jade is just so attentive to all your needs, even long before you know what you need. He always has a new, fresh water bottle ready for you, handing it to you without the lid so you can drink it right away. He fetches you food in the cafeteria, so you don't have to queue up, and collects your uniforms, has them cleaned, and delivers them back to you. Occasionally you catch yourself forgetting things because you're getting used to Jade swooping in and helping. But hell, you swear you packed your pencil case, only for Jade to bring it to you barely before the beginning of class, so he's definitely missing his one, just so you have your pencils. Makes you feel bad to know he's getting scolded for it, while he only smiles at his teachers, thinking there's no greater honor than enduring this for your sake. Not like he didn't plan it. Someone had to take your pencil case out of your bag last night while you slept. Jade is absolutely prepared, but there's nothing he wouldn't do if it gives him one more chance to see you thankful for his efforts. Grateful, dependant, sweet you.
♡ Floyd... destroys things and fixes them at the same time. Sounds odd, but it can be helpful. Imagine if you get bullied. Who's gonna bust open the door you get locked in? Floyd. He also hugs and comforts you afterwards, no matter how brash he's doing it. Telling you he's got you, and he'll hurt whoever did that to you in your name. (Takes a lot of convincing so he doesn't do it. But if you ask him to stay with you, he'll gladly oblige. Get ready for being carried around and not let go, though.) Who's there to punch and squeeze some unruly students who get too cozy around you? Floyd. Who fixes your clothes when you work in the lounge? Okay, Jade does that. But Floyd told him AND punched the guys that stared. It's about respect, and Floyd drank his respect women juice (not necessarily respect your darling juice, though). He loves all the opportunities to get rowdy in your name, proving his capabilities to you. Floyd's your very own, splattered-in-blood knight in a half-assed suit.
♡ And still, despite all of this, you run from them. The one thing that makes living above water tedious. Running, hunting, being bothered with the chase. If the roles were reversed and you were underwater, you wouldn't even have a chance to put one foot out of their immediate radius of hands to grab and tails to wrap around you. How much more do they have to prove that their protection is secure and you can rely on them? How many more times do you want to play cat-and-mouse just because they want to be with you any second of the day? And when will you wake up at night and realize them standing around your bed, watching, unblinkingly? Making sure no one gets close to you other than them. No one sees you vulnerable like this except them. It's all theirs, everything, you.
