imagining a jade leech whose obsessed with his partners human legs...
gn! reader. reader isn't wearing pants..? and is sick. established relationship. wrote this while sick so sorry if it isn't up to parr.
You had a predicament on your hands.
There was a leech lurking outside your door.
it was a bit nerve-racking- knowing that there was an unfathomably tall, terrifying, teenage boy stalking around the inside of your house, making uncanny noises like a creep while you were stuck in bed. Luckily though, it was just your boyfriend being his normal weird self.
A hacking cough escaped your lips as a particularly loud clang resonated throughout the decrepit building. You were feeling slightly feverish due to the abrupt cold that came along with winter, the thin walls of ramshackle doing little to block out the chill. Of course, simply sneezing once in front of Jade caused him to freak out, and he quickly took it upon himself (insisted) to take care of you.
You think he just wants to feed you mushroom soup.
The sinister sounds emitting from downstairs came to a stop as the door to your bedroom creaked open. Jade popped his head in through the cracked door, his ever present smile seeming slightly more gentle as he approached you. In his hand was a bowl of soup, steaming alluringly against the coldness of the room.
"Are there mushrooms in there..?" you groused.
His smile only grew, "I'm afraid if I answer that you'll throw the soup at me, dear."
A snicker emanated from your mouth as you sat up against the headboard. Jade handed you the sizzling bowl of soup before allowing his weight to dip into the bed in front of you. He placed your legs in his lap, taking his gloves off to trace your bare skin with his fingers.
The soup did in fact have mushrooms, but you just avoided those instead of making a fuss. ( you would've if your head wasn't pounding. ) It was creamy with just the right amount of salt and spices. Even though Floyd was the natural cook between the two, Jade had some skills as well.
"So, how was class today?" You asked, swirling around some of the mushrooms. When he didn't reply quick enough you looked up at him curiously.
His eyes lingered on your bare legs, pants kicked off from the uncomfortable warmth you were feeling. You noticed how there was an odd flush to his cheeks as he gazed at the naked skin. "Jade?"
"Ah, I apologize." He genuinely looked embarrassed for getting caught staring, "I was just curious as to why pants are a necessity when your appendages are quite... exquisite."
You blinked. "Jade are you.. saying my legs look nice?"
He just smiled.
You watched as his fingers worked under your calves, lightly massaging the sore muscle with his nimble fingers. It was bizarre how intimate the whole situation felt;; being admired for your legs of all things. However, you could understand why Jade felt this way. He was marveling something unfamiliar to him, something he wanted to explore with you.
With a gentle smile you leaned over to press a chaste kiss to his lips. "I should get sick more often if your gonna massage me like this."
CHARACTERS: first years
summary: your underclassmen has a crush on you (you're a second year cause you got trasported by the magic mirror a year earlier)
I got inspiration to make this fic when i saw Ate Cherry!! post her headcanons on tiktok<33 AJAHDIWHIWHEIAWHEAWI I KEPT GIGGLING I TELL YOU!
Just how will the boys act when they catch a crush on NRC's magicless model student. One who has gained the respect of their peers, seniors, and professors, someone who worked to earn a place at the school despite being transferred involuntarily. The most reliable and welcoming prefect of the school got their heart skipping a beat, what are they like when they're with the most esteemed prefect?
Ace Trappola
He would do anything in his power to try spend time with you (annoy you lovingly), after all he doesn't get much of your time being a year below you and all.
Asks about you a lot, especially asks Jamil whom you share a class with, "Hey Jamil-senpai, we got a buncha sweets from the unbirthday party earlier, want some? No? Then give this to the prefect for me".
He's not slick, he asks which one you liked best so he can bring some more next time, he fills the pastry boxes to the brim and says it's for 'Grim too'.
Suddenly he wants to show off all his card tricks, stopping you randomly in the hall asking you to pick a card.
If he see's you in the basketball court to watch a game of his, he'll either show off or be distracted by you, most of the time it's both
His ego will be 100% crushed if you treat him like a kid, will copy trey and riddle's action to seem more mature.
Making you laugh at his jokes make him so giddy and want to squeal, kick his feet, and twirl his hair like a girl who sees her favorite anime character on screen.
Get's cocky when you praise him
Somewhat unnerved when you see past his unserious facade and see right through him
He definitely looks at Magicam posts about couples to cringe at, only to find himself taking pictures of the both of you and flexing on Deuce
"Who's the luckiest person rn?"
"You're not even dating?"
"Shut up and just be jealous!"
"Of what? You're not dating??"
You hear Riddle's scolds in the hallway, the sight of Ace and Grim fill you with dread, what on earth did they do now? Questions later you told yourself before inserting in their situation. After redirecting Riddle's attention to another responsibility you told him you'd take care of the troublemakers in his stead, despite his protests he'd calmed down and walked off to find professor Crewel to help move papers.
"Mrah! Hench-human!" Grim climbed on your leg to sit himself on your shoulders, head resting against yours as he sighed in relief, "Man I seriously owe you one, walking around with Riddle's heavy collar is a problem I don't want to deal with" he chuckled scratching his neck, you sighed, stepping closer towards him"If you feel so indebted to me then do me a favor and stay out of trouble" fixing his uniform by buttoning up his undershirt and straightening his tie. He held his breath, your shampoo smelled so good, your fingers ghosting on his neck felt heavenly, he could ignore Grim as long as you were close to him. SEVENS GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF YOU SIMP, he yelled at his conscience.
You stepped back and held Grim in your arms, "Yeah, thanks... EHEM! I have a game next Saturday if you wanna watch", he held his head high trying to avoid eye contact as well as the embarrassment of his question. "Don't bother [---], he'll probably lose anyways" Grim yawned, "That's a lot of talk! Sorry but I don't take criticisim from someone who cant even hold a basketball" You patted Grim's head to refrain him from getting in another fight, "I'll be there" you accepted smiling at him softly before heading to your next class, Ace walked to his next lesson with the most satisfied grin, already planning his training so that he wouldn't embarrass himself during the game.
Deuce Spade
He admired your dedication to your studies and hobbies but most importantly your model student vibe.
He finds himself wanting to do better, so that he could feel he's the same level as you and worthy of your attention. (awwe T-T )
He's so honest and nervous with you, Ace gets secondhand embarrassment about the things that comes out his mouth.
"You were so sick today! I mean not sick as in sick, pretty- I mean yeah you look p-pretty good, great! You look great,a-and the potion you made earlier was so cool!" "That was hard to watch, don't mind him he's always weird"
Thankfully you pay no mind to his nervousness, which helps him get more comfortable around you, give him time, he'll start talking casually after a while.
He loves it when you rely on him, need an extra pencil? He's got 12 backups, Need to move stuff around Ramshackle? He's there to help as soon as you told him you were too busy to hang out. He opens doors, jars, stubborn wrappers, everything.
Deuce also texts Ace about you, the difference is that he sends messages of him overthinking his interactions with you.
"Hey do you think what I did earlier was too much?"
"Why are you texting me when I sleep 5 footsteps away from you"
"I think I came off a bit weird..."
"OH MY SEVENS, ALL YOU SAID WAS THANK YOU, SHUT UP"
If you ever show up to a track event, he runs even faster, which straight up looks like sonic, and he gets all bashful if you compliment him a bunch afterwards.
Your mood affects him too, if you're happy it makes him happy, if Ace did something that pissed you off, suddenly he's pissed at Ace too. And when you're sad he tries his best cheering you up, but he does it so awkwardly you end up laughing, mission failed successfully?
He gets all giddy when you notice his efforts to be better and talks about you to his mom
Deuce had another history exam coming up, usually he'd ask help from Trey or Riddle, unfortunately both tutors had important things to attend to leaving him to his lonesome. Deciding to suck it up and study by himself, he got confused on a few parts, yes, but it was self doubt that made him struggle. 30 minutes in is session he was ready to ask for help from anyone, hell, even Azul if he had to.
"Sorry did you wait long?" his eyes widened, speechless as you placed study materials of your own while sitting beside him. "Prefect, what're you doing here?" "Trey asked me if I could help you out, you have history tomorrow yes?" flipping through his notes and references eyes focused on the text. A strand of your hair falling to your face, you tucked it behind your ear, pen still in hand, while the other was scanning his flashcards. The way the light hit your face made you look serene, the comforting scent of your perfume, the slight furrow on your eyebrows, and the fact that you were helping made the scene all the more angelic. He felt his mouth go dry and face flush as he told himself to BE NORMAL!
"350 years?" "No, 530" the boy burried his face in his palms feeling most dissapointed at himself, he wanted to impress you and do well and all he's done so far is mess everything up, as he wallowed in his despair he felt a warm hand rub his back "You don't have to pretend to know everything, if you're confused about my discussion, ask me instead of nodding along, it's ok", he didn't believe that you were magicless at all, especially since you somehow always lifted the invisble weights on his shoulders. "Was I that obvious?" peeking at you from his palms, you nodded laughing softly, after a few more hours, with your guidance and constant encouragement, he answered your mock test perfectly and got all your oral questions right. He'd been tutored before but never once had he felt so happy and reassured the entire time, "I just want to say thank you for your time, I really learned from you, I don't jus feel like I'll do well, I know it!" The other students turned from their chairs and shushed him, feeling ashamed he whispered apologies to those he distrcted.
Jack Howl
Get's to know you through the heartslabyul duo, lowk loves that you have a moral compass and sense of justice, trusts you a lot because of it.
Asks Ruggie for your preferences once and now he has Ruggie AND Leona teasing him for liking you.
"Oho? Is the pup finally turning into a big boy?"
"Shyeheheehee, aww leave the loverboy alone he can't help it!"
"If you didn't want to tell me just don't"
His muscles WILL involuntarily flex if you hold onto his arm, you'd think it's cause he wants to show off his HARD work, but no, he's just a bit nervous
You often catch him following your example and doesn't notice until you point it out, he gets slightly embarrassed
Also a very acts of service guy and quality time kind of guy, he especially loves eating with you while you talk about anything at all as he passes you juice he poured out a can for you, totally cause you're his respected upperclassman nothing more nothing less.
DENIAL, his tsundere heart will try and pass his feelings off as admiration and 'looking up to you' but deep down he knows he likes you more than that but refuses to acknowlege it.
He finally gives into his feelings once he realizes that fighting it off and ignoring it won't make him like you less or make his feelings for you go away
When he gets shy but obviously happy he had those cute downward smiles ( ˶˘ ³˘)♡
He will always be on his best anything when you're around and tries to act more mature than usual even if he wants to participate in the Adeuce's games and competitions.
Heart goes all fuzzy when you help him improve himself
"Awwe you didn't have to help me out, I could have carried these by myself" teasing the poor boy with hand to your chest as he carried a sack of soil walking beside you, "It's nothing...No offense, but this is the same size as you, plus it's a hassle going back and forth from the shed" you sighed in defeat as you look down at your arms carrying stacks of little clay pots and a packet inside one that contained seeds. "What're you going to make with this stuff anyways?" his gruff voice softening, "Ingredients for Professor Crewel's class, he needs more of this stuff for a first year lesson next week" his ears perked up, curious "Wonder what were making..." he hummed "That's gonna be a surprise, I can't keep giving you hints for all your lessons, people might think I favor you more than I already do"
The dramatic statement caused him to stop in his tracks, what did you just say? Favor? HIM?! He shook his head like a dog shaking off water and caught up to you, "What do you mean by—" "Oh! There's a lot of space here!" You crouched on the unoccupied spot spacing the pots you placed on the floor as Jack opened the sack and helped plant ingredients. As his gloved hands patted the soil his eyes wandered, maybe it was the blooming plants around you or the pollen that blurred the rest of his vision and made you the only thing he could see in extreme detail, your soft lips as you murmured instructions, the slight glint in your eyes when you realize your using the proper method in this little gardening project, whatever it was he couldn't look away.
The scene was quite domestic in his perspective and he didn't want to ruin this moment. While watering the seeds you had asked why he seemed so knowlegeable about plants, which led to a 2 hour tail wagging conversation about the succulent plants he had nurtured and researched about, and maybe even inviting you to plant one with him on your free time since you're interested?
Epel Felmier
Most likely met you through Rook talking about the beauty of your resilience
He tries to act more "manly" around you, he genuinely hates it when you find him cute, and though he's learns from Rook and Vil to see it as a strength he still has trouble getting used to it. When you make him feel reassured and more comfortable with that side of himself, and remind him it doesn't make him less of a man inevitably made him fall hard
He makes apple carvigs of things you like or mentioned you're interested in
You once helped him wipe off his smudged makeup, now he runs to you for makeup tips instead of Vil, whether your good at makeup or not he'd rather learn makeup with you/from you, cause apparently Vil's instructions are too long
Will come to Ramshackle to gorge on food Vil banned him from eating "I can't take nother day of that bland crap! So what if they got weird chemicals on em? Better than unseasoned chicken I tell ya!"
He'll let his accent fly loose, no need to act so prim and proper when he can be himself with you
If you compliment one of his cardigans he WILL give one to you and prolly brag to ace how you're wearing one of his clothes
Will show off his flight skills when you're out on the field or at a spelldrive match
When you try to carry a lot of things he'll want to help, mostly cause he wants to show off how stronger he's gotten
Wants to have your opinion when he tries wearing clothes that aren't his usual style
"Honestly, why not ask Vil for help?" you sighed patting his face with tissue to pick up oils, dirt, and sweat off his fair complexion "He once took an hour explaining proper cleaning techniques on 7 different brushes that looked all the same!" "That just means he's knowlegeable, you should take advantage of that and use it to improve" He huffed knowing you were right but was still too stubborn to listen, you chuckled at his very visible frustration as you lightly reapplied his makeup.
"But I get what you mean, he can be a bit overwhelming" "RIGHT?!" his eyes flew open, holding your wrist as his face held agreement with a touch of annoyance. You stared at him in surprise, realizing his hold on you and his sudden closeness, he got to see your features up close like he's never before. Your eyes and beautiful hue it had, your nose and forehead that gave him cuteness aggression, and the slight gape on your lips that made him want to close the gap. His face spread red all the way to his neck and ears in embarrassment once he heard your laughter letting his grip on you go and creating more distance.
"Oh you poor thing! I'll be sure to ask Vil to go easy on you the next I see him" "...P-please do" He shut his eyes again internally kicking himself for such a reckless act. You two continued to laugh and chat while you gently patted product on his skin. "Ah~ Young love! Such a beautiful act of devotion, and to think Monsieur Pomette would develop such feelings for the Trickster! Youth is truly the prime of romance, truly fantastique!" Rook clutched his chest as Vil creased his brow, "How crude, since he has so much time to criticize my methods of teaching then I shall have a 2 hour session of it's importance" he glared at the first year's back.
Sebek Zigvolt
Beats Jack in the denial stage, this guy is not accpeting it and gaslights himself trying to convince himself you're just another sophmore he respects, until it drives him stir crazy
He'll find himself contradicting himself though, and gets flustered when Ace teases him about it "Nonsense! This is clearly respect to it's highest form! I should have known someone like you would not understand!" "Yeah whatever makes you feel better man, I've got other stuff to do than argue with a brick wall"
He really appreciates your patience and gentle tone when you speak with him, he gets a little quieter to hear you better
Very happy if you recognize his liege's greatness with him too
Will seek you out if he hears people disrespect your name
You help him see the beauty of human nature and he'll never notice how he slowly starts to drop the nickname of human when talking to you
HUMAN WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM, WHY IS HE SUDDENLY EXPECTANTLY AWAITING YOUR HAND WRITTEN LETTERS? He told you once that he preferred traditional forms of communication and you noticing small details about him made his face fume, but not in anger
Lilia will nudge him into the right direction to understand his feelings, the old bat enjoys youthful romance it seems
It will take him a while to accept his feelings for you but once he does, he is not quiet about it
Will court you by fae standards but you don't really understand so you accept his gifts thinking it's out of platonic kindness which frustrates him to no end but he ends up frozen every time he tries to voice out his feelings in preson.
"[---]! YOU LEFT YOUR NOTEBOOK WITH ME WHEN YOU WHERE EXPLAINING HUMAN SLANG TERMS"
Oh right I forgot lol
"THIS IS NO LAUGHING MATTER! ONE MUST BE MINDFUL OF THEIR BELONGINGS"
Even through the screen I can hear you 😭
"Why are you crying?!"
No sebek I'm not actually crying, it's just an expression 😓
"Why must humans find new ways to complicate things"
So how did talking to Lilia go? Can you finally understand him?
"Absolutely! Lilia even praised my use of terms, I lowkey killed him out there!"
You cackled in your room startling Grim but he brushed it off too tired to argue with you and went back to sleep. You turn to your side tapping on your keyboard, you genuinely hope he doesn't use these terms in person or else you wouldn't be able to hold it in and neither can Ace and the rest of the group.
Good on you for learning so quickly :))
"I am beyond grateful for your guidance, therefore I must return your notebook at once!"
Sebek the sun's already setting just give it back tomorrow morning
There was no doubt about it, he'd made up his mind and he's sticking to it. Upon his arrival he left the notebook with you thanking him as he headed back to his dorm. "Wait! won't you stay for a little while?" he halted, his heart screamed at him to indulge in your presence but his mind said otherwise "I cannot stay here longer than I already have, our dormitory has curfews I must oblige by, as they are my liege's instruction!" he replied stil walking facing away from you, knowing he'd be unable to stop himself had he turned around and followed your dissapointed tone. Your lips turned downwards, as you look at him with those longing eyes he can't stop glaring back at, the wind softly blowing your hair as if urging him to tuck it behind your ear. GOODNESS HOW COULD I THINK OF SUCH THINGS! He scolded, quickening his pace towards the hall of mirrors as his ears and face painted red.
Tw: Not proofread, possibly spelling/grammar errors, Afab reader, like a harui from ohshc situation, son!grim getting in the way of adeuceyuu moment, that’s abt it see yuh (Enjoy!!!)
“You’re like…overly pretty to be a boy…” Ace mutters, loud enough for you and Deuce to hear as he leans forward into your personal space.
You stare back into his scarlet eyes with yours. “…Thanks…?” You mutter awkwardly as you turn your head away, trying to continue eating.
“I’m serious, prefect. Your eyes are all doey, your lips are really soft and plump lookin’, your face is soft as hell.” He rambles, grabbing your cheeks gently to make you look at him.
“Geez, lay off Ace.” Deuce scowls, underneath it all jealous he’s not the one up close and touching you.
“No like, come look Juice.” Ace continues, moving even closer. “For the last time! My name’s Deuce! Not ju-“ Before Deuce could speak, he’s taken aback by your closer features.
“Well I’ll be, you do look like a girl, Yuu.” Deuce agrees, staring at your face.
“You two are attracting attention…” You mutter, looking around at everyone in the courtyard now staring at you two.
“Hey! What’re you two doin’ with my henchman?!” Ace and Deuce back away from you quickly at the sound of Grim’s voice.
You three turn to see the little feline coming at you three quickly. Ace and Deuce both built it and Grim follows close behind.
You stare at the three disappeared around the corner before you look to the sky in thought.
You didn’t tell anyone you were a girl. You don’t mind being mistaken for a man anyways, but now you felt the need to keep it a secret…
because yuu's geniuenly my favorite character....... im still torturing them
[view p.2]
Yuu occasionally forgets details about their old world. First it’s small things like favorite snack brands, a classmate’s face, the route home from school. Then one day they realize they can’t remember their own bedroom clearly anymore.
Nobody at NRC fully understands how lonely being magicless is. The first years mentions it rarely but in a casual way, like 'oh yeah we forgot', but Yuu constantly lives with the awareness that if something goes wrong, they can’t protect themselves the same way everyone else can. They're thankful to have friends that protected them during the overblots even tho they felt utterly useless...
Ramshackle is cold because the dorm was abandoned for so long, and sometimes Yuu stays awake listening to the building creak, realizing there’s nobody in this world they truly belong with.
Grim notices when Yuu is homesick before anyone else does. He’ll start fights or act extra annoying on purpose just to distract them from crying.
Yuu keeps souvenirs from every dorm. Not because they’re sentimental, but because they’re terrified that if they ever go home, this world will disappear like a dream.
Some nights Yuu quietly wonders whether their family thinks they disappeared… or died. (I think I saw something about Yuu's original world being paused or something like that in one of the novels but im not too sure so...)
Ace is one of the first people to realize Yuu smiles differently around others versus when they’re alone.
Yuu gets used to being needed only during crises. They become “the reliable prefect,” but secretly start feeling like people only come to Ramshackle when everything is falling apart.
Malleus visiting Ramshackle late at night becomes important because he’s one of the few people who understands isolation. Neither of them says it directly.
After every overblot incident, Yuu becomes more afraid. Not of the overblots themselves, but of losing the people they’ve grown attached to.
There’s a version of Yuu that stops talking about going home because they realize NRC is home now… and that realization scares them more than anything.
Crowley promising “we’ll find a way home soon” starts hurting after a while because Yuu can tell he doesn’t (want to) know.
Yuu sometimes sits in on magic studies they can never use anyway. Not because they expect to learn magic, just because they want to feel included.
The students eventually stop calling Ramshackle “haunted” and start calling it “home,” and Yuu nearly cries the first time they overhear it.
If Yuu ever made it back to their original world, the loneliness would hit in subtle moments. Reaching for their phone to text Ace about something dumb. Hearing thunder and thinking of Diasomnia. Turning around to tell Grim a joke before remembering he isn’t there. And the worst part would be knowing nobody around them could truly understand why they miss a world that technically never existed.
It's really easy to forget that Cass enjoys being Batgirl. Obviously she's a very tortured character and her stories almost always end in tragedy, but this is still fun for her. She likes the adventure and the thrills. She likes soaring across rooftops. She likes owning badguys. She likes saving people. If anything that's one of the things that most alienates her from the people around her. Barbara is constantly trying to get her to understand that there's a life for her outside of Batgirl where she can finally be happy, what she doesn't get is that for Cass, her life as Batgirl is what happiness looks like.
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
Normally I do not give a fuck about my age matching or surpassing that of timeless fictional characters. Can’t even understand why someone would be bothered by that. However, in the new James Bond video game, Bond very casually and conversationally references SpongeBob, and it hit me like a fish fired from a rail gun.
