ⓘ ㅤㅤ mogari shishikuno ㅤ 𝔁ㅤ cosplayer!reader
cosplay with mogari is literally you dragging him into the most chaotic cos-duos. like. he's the bokuto to your akaashi. you're tsubaki he's black star—except he can’t stop making weird poses.
he does the dumbest jojo stance in the middle of your shoot like “is this anime enough?”
sir please. this is a magical girl con.
speaking of magical girls, this man WOULD and WILL cosplay madohomu with you.
you and kanzaki made the gang watch madoka magica. mogari LOVED it
will do any cosplay with you as long as it gets him “pretty girl kisses.”( he'll cosplay with you with or without the kisses. the kisses just makes it extra special .)
“ what if i was that buff guy from black clover? what if i carried you bridal style at the con?”
“mogari. which one.”
no he’s dead serious. he’s asking you to do a tiktok thirst trap as goujou from blue lock. yes. GOUJOU FROM BLUE LOCK 😭😭( forgive him. don't tell kanzaki )
he has zero shame. and way too much arm strength.
SOOO into tiktok couple trends. you post one "bf does my makeup in cosplay" vid and he’s hooked. now he’s editing transitions and doing couple audios
“i’m never doing this again” he says after his first time shaving his legs for a cosplay. ( he does it again next week without question. it was a sailor moon cosplay, by the way. )
if you’re wearing something a lil bold, he will stare. hard. doesn’t even try to hide it.
“you look like a goddess. like i should build you a shrine. wait can i do that?"
bro is in LOVE and it's loud and obvious and dramatic.
calls you “babe” “angel” “bbg”( yes. ) “cosplay queen” but also says stupid shit like
“if i were an anime character i’d fight god for you. like real god. religion god.”
mf will eat anything you didn’t or can't eat. you don’t like pickles? gone. leave the broccoli? already in his mouth. “i don’t like the sauce here…” too late. he’s devoured it.
he knows your food preferences better than your favourite restaurant itself at this point.
the type to eat his entire bento in 5 seconds and then just sit there. staring at you. waiting.
“you done with that?” you haven't even opened it yet. he’s somehow eating it anyway.
has the biggest obsession with kissing your cheek. randomly grabs your face while you're adjusting your wig cap and goes mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah.
doesn’t care if people stare. in fact, he wants them to.
100% the type to pick you up like a sack of potatoes when you’re tired at the con. like no warning, just throws you over his shoulder and starts walking.
addicted to you. addicted to how cute you look when you nerd out about a new cosplay. addicted to watching you glue rhinestones onto your props. addicted to your everything.
ⓘ ㅤㅤ eugene koreshiki ㅤ 𝔁ㅤ cosplayer!reader
aka the guy who's subconsciously more obsessed with you than any of your fans
no because korekishi would be the type of boyfriend to actually treat your cosplay photo shoots like events.
like he'd arrive 30 mins prior with snacks and boba, hold your phone as a boom mic in a drama shoot, and ( respectfully ) tells people who walk really loudly in the background if they could lessen the noise.
"do i look okay?"
"you look perfect. but if you want, i can fix your wig net so it won't stick through here."
WHY DOES HE KNOW WHERE THE WIG NET IS.
( no because it took my friends a WHILE to understand what a wig net is. some still don't know where it is )
assists you zip up complicated cosplays. like he's dressed up anime girls all his life.
even gives you offers to iron your bows and put on safety pins in case something sagging happens.
your mom's already sure he's your manager or something.
the kind to be cool with you showing off your revealing cosplays in public but YOU KNOW he's checking. respectfully. later that evening he's like,
"you're wonderful, but please give me a heads up before you go out in it again. i almost bumped into a pole."
"i love your mitsuri cosplay," he tells you, and you're like "aw thx ????" and then he's like "but i prefer you more in original characters. the ones that are like you."( sorry, mitsuri variants, idk what to put😭 )
HELLO???? STOPPPPP. dangerous man.
if you're not comfortable attending a con, he'll pretend to have a badge just to tag along with you everywhere so you wouldn't be less uncomfortable
. literally blends with the staff like a k-drama lead who infiltrates security.
"excuse me, make way. my girlfriend has a photoshoot at the garden area in 10."
he doesn't even work there. you just let him do his thing.
COUPLE. COSPLAYS. COS. DUOS.
you're nanami. he's your tomoe. you're hori. he's miyamura. you're zero two. he reluctantly dyes his hair black for hiro. you're kaguya—he practices shirogane poses in the mirror.
once told you his "main fandom." you haven't recovered since.
( he learned about fandoms from kanzaki )
eugene is the kind of boyfriend who remembers everything. even things you said once while half-asleep.
“you said you liked the lighting at that one con hall back in july, right?" and then pulls a very cleared up schedule.
one time he bought you a cosplay tool you mentioned offhand like “i wish i had a heat gun for this armor,” and then it shows up on your bed with one.
not a fan of crowded conventions, but he’ll go anywhere if it means holding your bag while you fix your skirt hem in the middle of the hallway
he’s accidentally your cosplay critique partner now. has ,,, a 40-slide notes on your last con appearance. yes they're all you🙂↕️
doesn’t want to dress up as characters he doesn’t know, so now he watches entire shows just to understand your cosplay duo plans.☹️
ⓘ ㅤㅤ kaoru kanzaki ㅤ 𝔁ㅤ cosplayer!reader
this acting cool guy would roast the shit out of your cosplay one sec then spend 3 hours fixing your armor build “because it wasn’t symmetrical enough.”( ho you are not kid the killer )
“the foam angles are wrong. move. i’m taking over.”
sir???? this was my mha school uniform not a gundam suit.
literally why you now have god-tier sewing abilities. began by "assisting a little," and now you're co-running a cosplay account and inadvertently become viral for your jujutsu kaisen couple outfits.
he's critical, i know, but when you receive hate on the internet? he'll get his pubic hair stuck somewhere.
"who said that. what's their @. you look better than every other yoimiya i've ever seen. and i've seen like 52.”( more actually. )
cosplay date nights are just the two of you doing sewing sessions while binge-watching anime. you sleep in his lap while you hand-sews details onto your sailor moon headband. doesn't say a word, just gently pats your head while watching reruns of bleach like it's nothing.
he WON'T cosplay fanservice-y characters. but if you whine hard enough, he'll appear in a catboy maid costume for "research."
"this never leaves the house." ( he lowk thinks he looks good, though . )
will( probably ) NEVERRR allow his sister to assist with your cosplay things because she literally keeps trying to dress you up in maid dresses.
"that's MY job. go back to your room, geez."
ends up having a folder on his phone named "her best cosplays <3"( yes ****<3**** ) and you discover it and he's like "it's not what it looks like."
spoiler: it is. and he put 3 more the same night.
ⓘ ㅤㅤ kotaro tamon ㅤ 𝔁ㅤ cosplayer!reader
he's too timid for this world but he'd literally die to assist you getting wigs at 9pm
tamon is sooo the bf who's like "you're gonna post that?? ????" but not angrily he just means it in a worried way he's just CONCERNED… bc your entire back is out and your skirt is like… not skirt-ing.( NOT IN A BAD WAYY )
but he still likes all your photos in secret at 2am ????
assists you with makeup unintentionally. one minute you're like "can you just hold this?" and then "wait can you blend that corner" and then "ok now just do the lashes" and he's like. an expert mua.
flusters easily when you're trying on outfits. you'll be like "don't look!!" and he's covering his eyes with both hands but still sneaking a peek in like a naughty anime character.
when you ask "babe will you cosplay with me?" he's like ??? "what do you mean cosplay… like… outside?"
but you whine and now he's dressed in a whole kiyoomi sakusa wig and going through couple photoshoots with you at the mall( sakuatsu cos-duos my loves )
literally freezes when you rest your head on his lap in cosplay. like he was breathing and blinking and now he's just. not.
HE REHEARSES YOUR WALK CYCLES WHEN YOU'RE NOT PAYING INATTENTION. nobody knows how he killed that gojo walk on your con entrance but he rehearsed it like 56 times in his bedroom mouthing your dialogues.
in case your cosplay gets ruined or anything goes wrong, he will PANIC. he's like "waitwaitwait i have glue—i have tape—i'll go buy thread!! please don't cry i'll fix it i swear ????”
shyly presents you with gifts such as keychains of your favourite characters.
"you told me you liked rukia some time back… so… i figured maybe you'd like this one."

SUMMARY: What would his dream be like, exactly the same as in the original story, but with the small detail that he is dreaming that you two are dating?
CHARACTERS: Cater Diamond x Reader ♦️🦐
TAGS: Fluff; GN Reader; In a Relationship (kinda); Flirting; Kiss
WARNING: Spoilers from Book 7 and Cater’s dream (Eng Server)
WORD COUNT: 3.020 words
COMMENTS: This was written as a companion piece to the original dream story, so the parts that are the same as the game are just summarized.
I also prefer using the original "Cay-kun" rather than the English version "Cay-Cay", for some reason XD
I hope you enjoy ♦️
Dating in a Dream: Idia / Epel / Rook / Vil / Kalim / Jamil / Floyd / Jade / Azul / Jack / Ruggie / Leona / Deuce / (Cater) / ...
“Aether signal tracking successful.” Ortho announces. “We have arrived at the designated coordinates.”
You, Grim, Silver, Sebek, Ortho, Leona, Deuce and Idia’s tablet reach the next dream and land at the entrance to the Heartslabyul Dorm. Checking in on Deuce, not only was he not sick from the journey from dream to dream, but he simply LOVED the experience. You were about to start looking for the dreamer when someone appears.
“Oh, hey Deuce. And Grim and (Y/N).” Ace greets you. “What brings you to our dorm? Wait, you've also got Leona with you. And Ortho, and some Diasomnia guys... Okay, what gives?”
“Well, uh...” Deuce tries to come up with an explanation. “We happened to run into each other, and we decided to get together for tea...”
“TEA? You? With Leona and these guys?”
“L-Leona can have tea sometimes, when he feels like it!”
“Me? Having tea at Heartslabyul?” Leona mutters to himself, but without denying what Deuce was saying. “Couldn't that idiot have come up with literally any other cover story?”
“The idea of Leona joining Deuce for tea in Heartslabyul is so inconceivable, I actually wanna see it now.” Idia comments to himself too.
“Uh, but enough about us. What are you up to?” Deuce returns to the subject.
Ace says he was going to the courtroom because he received a Magicam message summoning everyone to an emergency trial. Deuce finds it very strange that such an important message was sent by Magicam. He also asks Ace why he's wearing his school uniform instead of his dorm uniform, but Ace just shrugs it off nonchalantly and says he can change at any time if the housewarden gets on his case.
Ortho asks if you could all go with them and sit in these Heartslabyul trial. Deuce starts to say that students from other dorms can't sit in when Ace cuts him off, saying that it shouldn't be a problem and the housewarden himself would probably welcome them. Deuce is shocked, but doesn't question Ace much. After that, Ace continues on his way to the courtroom and Deuce tooks off after him.
However, another Deuce approaches you, this time a Deuce in his school uniform. You realize that this is the Deuce from the dream so you decide to knock him out and tie him up so he doesn't interfere with your mission.
Arriving at the Heartslabyul courtroom, there were a lot of students there,and a lot of them were in regular school uniforms, like Ace. You hear the judge's wooden gavel bang and you look at the person who did it.
“I just got a Magicam message from the housewarden.” It was Trey. “He says he's on his way in, so let's get the proceedings underway.”
“Order in the court!” Another voice you recognize says, more authoritative. “Card soldiers, line up by suit!”
It was Riddle, but when you look at him, not only was he not wearing the housewarden's uniform, but the normal school uniform, he also had a red heart mark on his cheek, just like Trey has a black clover on his. You hear trumpets playing like announces the arrival of someone important.
“Our leader!” Riddle proceeds. “The red sovereign!”
The doors open and someone comes in, passing you on a skateboard so fast that you only see a red and black blur.
“All rise for Housewarden Cater!”
When Cater stops, you see him wearing a kind of military uniform, but more stylized, red and black, full of medals and other golden accessories on it. You see the dreamer's silver bird flying around his head too.
“Yooo! Hello, my peeps!” He greets everyone with a smile and his usual enthusiasm.
All the students react with the same enthusiasm, clearly adoring him. Cater keeps showing off for a little, sliding along the courtroom stairs and pulling a kickflip. When he stops in front of Trey, they high five each other.
“Okay, let's get this trial started... Hm?” Cater looks at your group. “Wow, there's an extra-unusual sight. What're you peeps doing here in Heartslabyul?”
“Greetings, Cater Diamond. We've been curious about the unique events that Heartslabyul holds.” Ortho explains. “So we asked Deuce to let us sit in.”
“Ooh, I see... Whoa, Leona's here too! What possessed YOU to come here?”
“...That freshman invited me over for tea.” Leona just rolled with it.
“Huh? Deuce-chan invited you over for tea, and you actually showed?! Now I'm even more curious what possessed HIM to do that. Welp, gotta post this on Magicam and get it booming, stat.” Cater takes a picture with Leona and posts it with a few hashtags as usual.
“Housewarden Cater, it's 15 minutes past time to begin the trial.” Riddle warns him.
“How about we have some tea and take our time chatting with Leona and the others after the trial's done?” Trey suggests.
“Whoop, my bad! Anyway, welcome to Heartslabyul and all that. With that out of the way... Let's get trial on the road!”
The other students celebrate as if he had just announced the start of a party.
“Let's go, (Y/N)-chan~” He tells you and takes your hand to take you with him.
“Wait, what? Go where?” You ask confused.
“Go sit with me in the judge's seat, silly. Every time you sit in these trials, your sit is always beside me... or my lap if we're in that mood~” He winks at you. “After all, the place of the housewarden's sweetheart is beside him... remember~?” He smirks seductively.
“S-sweetheart?” Grim questions. “What are you talkin’ about?”
“Aww, Grim-chan is still jealous that I started dating his bestie. How cute. Don't worry, I won't steal (Y/N)-chan from you. You can sit up front with us if you want. I'll get you a really comfy pillow.” Cater winks at him with a smile.
“D-DATING?!” Deuce is the most shocked by that information after Grim.
“Oww, not you too Deuce-chan. We've already talked about this.” He plays with his lock of hair. “Come on, let's get this started. The sooner we start, the sooner we'll finish, and the sooner we'll have that tea together.”
Still holding hands, Cater takes you with him to the judge's high seat. But before the two of you go up the stairs to the seat, he takes you behind the stairs for a moment, hidden from everyone. He holds you by the waist, pulls you towards him and brings his face so close to yours that it looks like he's going to kiss you, but he doesn't.
“You know, I'm not the original Cay-kun.” He whispers to you, your noses and foreheads touching. “The real me is in the Lounge. And if I keep you here to myself, he’ll will be mad.” He pouts. “So, you should go meet with him. I'll come up with an excuse if the others ask for you.” He kisses your cheek and breaks the hug with a wink.
He shows you the back door and you go out through it.
When you enter the Heartslabyul lounge, you see Cater lying on the shezlong, scrolling through his phone, with the dreamer's silver bird around his head. He hears someone enter the lounge and looks with his head upside down. When he sees it's you, a huge smile automatically forms and he quickly gets up to get closer to you. He was wearing the same military-style clothes as the Cater from the courtroom.
“(Y/N)-chan~!” He hugs you affectionately. “Did you come to see your Cay-kun as soon as you were free?” He kisses your cheek. “You didn't tell me you were coming. Or at least not so early.”
“I... Deuce invited me for tea.”
“Really?! Deuce-chan was never much of a tea person. Hahaha. Aww, he wanted to spend more time with his bestie. You guys are so cute~.”
“Oh, and not just me. Ortho, Silver, Sebek, and even Leona came with me.”
“Oh, really? Heh, I shouldn't be surprised that you have so many... wait, did you say LEONA?! Like in Leona Kingscholar?! No way!”
“Yeah, your... um... other you that showed up at courtrom even took a picture with him and posted it on Magicam. Didn't you see?”
“Oh, I saw I posted something, but I was watching other videos and forgot to check.” He picks up his phone to see the photo. “OMG! It's true! I HAVE to go see this live!”
“Yes! You should definitely go to the courtroom!” After all, HE was the Cater you need to wake up. And if the others in the courtroom were all darkness, your team could be in danger.
“Hmmm~ Well, if he's going to stay after the trial... we still have a little time...” He smirks at you. “That and I can always get my other me to...” He brings his face closer to yours. “Tie him up a little longer...”
If you let him, he kisses your lips with a skill that makes you melt into it, as he gently pulls you with him back to the shezlong. He lays you down on it and positions himself on top of you.
“Hm? Aww, you still get shy about this? Heheh.” He brings his lips closer to yours again. “How cute~” And continues kissing you. “Your Cay-kun was already missing you sooo much~.” He kisses you more. “I wanted so much to snuggle with you...” More kisses. “You have such good timing...” More kisses. “I should reward you later for being so thoughtful and attentive.” More kisses. “My (Y/N)-chan is such a good partner~” And the kisses keep coming.
After a make-out session, Cater sits in the shezlong and sighs, saying he should go see how things are in the courtroom, especially since they were probably already in the middle of a post-trial party or something. But before that, he takes his hat off his head and puts it on yours after you also sit up next to him.
“Heh Heh, I knew it. You look totes adorbs with it! Come here, my cutie~”
He holds you by the waist to bring you closer to him, takes out his phone and takes a couple selfie of the two of you. And then kisses your cheek to take a second one. And maybe your lips for a third one.
On the way back to the courtroom Cater had one of his arms around your shoulders the whole time.
“Hey peeps!” Cater greets everyone as soon as you two walk through the door. “I heard that Leona came over for tea. I got so curious I HAD to drop by in person to－ WHOA!”
It didn't even look like the courtroom anymore. The walls were covered in neon signs, reminiscent of a casino, but even these lights couldn't shine brightly because of the dark smoke coming from the black goop covering the floor. And looking at the other Heartslabyul students, including Trey, Riddle, and even the other Cater, their faces had disappeared and their skins were as black as the darkness.
“What in the goop?! Okay hold up, what's the deal?” Cater takes his arm off your shoulder and puts it in front of you to push you behind him. “There's gooey black gunk splattered everywhere. It's grossing me out!”
“(Y/N)!” Deuce says relieved. “You're okay! Does this mean that the person with you is the real Cater?”
“Hi, Deuce-chan! Yup, I'm the genuine article. So, uh, can you catch me up, or...?”
“YOU!” Darkness Riddle shouts with that scary rage of his. “Stay away from Housewarden Cater! YEEAAARGH!”
“Yikes... Riddle's covered in black gunk and flying off the handle!” Cater realises. “You're at an eleven and I need you at like, an eight, okay? You're spoiling your cute features... Hrk?!” The dream begins to distort. “I'm getting the weirdest sense of déjà vu here... Agh, my head!”
“Cater, don't worry about a thing. I've got this under control, okay?” Darkness Trey reassures him.
“Trey? I... Augh!”
He remembers one of the moments with Trey, working together behind the scenes to balance things between Riddle and the other students. Supporting each other.
“I don't recognize it, but I DO recognize it... What's... Rgh!”
“Cater's starting to wake up!” Silver says.
“I think not.” Darkness Riddle retorts. “Your heads shall all roll! OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!”
“I've... seen this before... Aaagh... AAAAAAGH!” Cater remembers what happened when Riddle overbloted and the dreams brakes.
After that, you hear him use his signature spell and then immediately turn around to hug you protectively. He made three copies of himself. One to stand in front of Deuce, another in front of Grim, and another in front of you two. All three were collared instead of the original targets of the fake Riddle's spell.
“Phew. Just in the nick of time! You okay?” Cater asks you before asking the same to Deuce and Grim.
“You're awake!” You say.
“Morning, (Y/N)-chan~. Boy, it looks like I've been embarrassing myself in front of my underclassmen. Well, now you're gonna see the regular cool, upbeat Cay-kun in action... So, don't miss a second, 'kay? If these mean fakes have been scaring you guys, they need a little punishment.” He smiles mischievously and use his signature spell again to create a bunch of Caters to fight the darkness figures with the others. “Okay, mes... Give 'em the business.”
“Oh, ick. As if!” Cater says disgusted. “File those lines under, 'Things Trey and Riddle would never say to me, EVER'. So hey, mind disappearing already? Cya!” And with one last blow he makes those two figures disintegrate into black goo.
“Tch, about time you woke up. Way to be a pain in our necks.” Leona complains.
“G'morning, Leona! I got woken up by a prince, huh? Is that a stirring development or what?”
You can't help but glance sideways at Cater.
“So, how's it feel gettin' a rude awakening, courtesy of a prince's magic and fists?”
“Ahaha! Terrible. Literally the worst. I would rather have been woken up with a sweet kiss from my (Y/N)-chan.” He winks at you, before turning back to the others. “I guess this means you guys didn't actually swing by Heartslabyul for tea. I said good morning since you guys were talking about being awake, but what's the sitch here?”
“I can cover that.” Ortho volunteers. “Could you watch this video?”
“Wooow. Malleus sure knows how to go big.” Cater says. “Hmm... so... this was all a dream and you all...” He looks at you. “So... you...” He’s trying to appear as calm as possible. “You were the one who met me in the lounge, w-weren't you?”
You confirm.
“I... Can I speak to you... in private? For a moment?... Please?” He asks relatively seriously, but still calm and collected.
You agree and then he turns to the others, his gaze and smile slightly menacing.
“I don't need to create more mes so you guys don't snoop around, right?”
“Not everyone is the gossipy type y’know?” Leona retorts with a smug smile.
“Deuce-chan.” Cater’s smile turns friendly in the blink of an eye. “I can count on you to stand guard, right?”
“Yes, sir!” Deuce accepted his new mission like a proud card soldier.
Cater asks you to accompany him to a room adjacent to the courtroom. It appeared to be the archive room where the trial documents were kept. He closes the door and you can feel the sadness and embarrassment in the room.
“(Y/N)...” You knew Cater had this sad, or even depressive side, but letting you see him like this and unable to look you in the eye is still shocking. “I... am so sorry... if I... somehow abused my status as housewarden or your senpai. I don't remember the details well, but I remember what... happened in the lounge. You... didn't feel...”
“NO, no!” You deny it immediately. “You were... being flirty as always. And you were acting under the certainty that we were... dating, but...” You admit that what you did was because you allowed it and wanted it, and confess that you like him too.
“Are you sure? You’re a very nice person, but if you feel something different and are afraid of hurting the other person if you tell the truth, you... you shouldn't... No, you CANNOT put other people's feelings above your own.” He spoke with a conviction you had never seen before, and as if he were giving you advice he himself couldn't follow. “And even if it makes the other person sad or upset with you, you shouldn't care about it. You shouldn't...” He sighs and smiles with a sad look at you. “Don't stop being who you are... but don't let anyone abuse that cute side of you either, ‘kay?”
You insist that what you said was true, that you know about the sides of him he tries to hide and that you like it too. You even wish he felt more comfortable revealing more of those sides to you.
“Ha ha ha. What are you talking about? I...” He, as always, tries to deny it, until he realizes who he was talking to and gives up on it with a sigh. “You don't want to see that... it's not... that fun...”
“I know. No one has only their fun and smiling side. That would be creepy.”
“You think I'm nicer than I really am...” He smirks darkly.
You confidently get closer to him and smirk back.
“And you think I'm more naive than I really am... senpai~”
You decide to become the flirty one to convince him and you start talking and acting more seductively towards him. He doesn't move away and smiles seductively back.
“Aww, Cay-kun is being such a bad example for you, isn't he?” He cups your face. “He’s such a meanie...” He brings his face close to yours and whispers. “...corrupting your cute innocence like this.”
“Who said I was ever innocent?” You finish and kiss his lips that were already so provocatively close to yours.
If you would like to read more from me, you can find it in my pinned post: INDEX
You sat with your usual group of friends, chatting and eating, though your fork only lazily poked at the cafeteria meal. Your attention wandered, until your eyes met Riddle’s from across the cafeteria. Instantly, your face lit up, without hesitation, you lifted your hands to form a heart and beamed at him with the silliest grin you could manage.
Riddle, mid-bite, blinked in surprise before a soft chuckle escaped him. He discreetly mouthed, "Eat now, love" accompanied by a fond smile.
Your friends froze, all turning to stare at you like you had suddenly grown a second head.
“Seriously?” Ace muttered with a grimace. “You’re such a simp.” Deuce nodded in agreement while Epel narrowed his eyes. Jack gave you a deadpan look. Sebek scoffed and dramatically turned away.
You only smiled wider, finally taking a bite of your food. Your cheeks were warm, but the glow of Riddle’s quiet affection made everything taste more better.
ᯓ★ Ruggie Bucchi
You were playfully poking at your food, eyes lazily scanning the cafeteria until they landed on Ruggie, seated a few tables away. When he spotted you, his eyes lit up with that trademark grin. In response, you lifted your hands into a cheesy heart shape and flashed him your best smitten smile.
Ruggie snorted, grinning like he always did whenever you pulled these antics. Biting back a laugh, his ears twitched in amusement as he pointed at your tray and mouthed, “Eat now, ya dork.”
Your friends, especially Epel and Ace, sighed like this was just another Tuesday. “Can you go five minutes without being sappy?” Deuce muttered, while Jack looked away like he wasn’t secretly rooting for you.
Still smiling, you finally dug into your meal, cheeks warm with affection. Meanwhile, Ruggie leaned back in his chair, still chuckling, eyes trailing after you like you were the only one in the room.
ᯓ★ Azul Ashengrotto
You were absentmindedly sipping your drink, not really touching your meal, your eyes drifting across the cafeteria, until they landed at the opposite end. Azul was seated among his friends, deep in conversation with Jade and Floyd, when his gaze suddenly met yours. Without missing a beat, you formed a heart with your hands and flashed him a dazzling smile.
Azul blinked, momentarily caught off guard, before letting out a small, flustered laugh. He adjusted his glasses and mouthed, “Eat now, darling” accompanied by a fond, almost bashful shake of his head.
Meanwhile, your table fell into a stunned silence. Jack blinked slowly. “Seriously?” Ace groaned. “We’re eating, not watching a romcom.” Even Sebek looked mildly appalled.
You giggled and finally took a bite, cheeks warm but heart lighter, knowing Azul’s eyes were still lingering on you fondly. Across the room, Azul struggled to regain his usual composed demeanor, ears tinged pink as Floyd loudly teased, “Aww, look at Azul getting heart-eyes during lunch!”
ᯓ★ Jade Leech
As you nibbled on your bread, your gaze lazily drifted across the cafeteria until it landed on Jade. He was calmly eating, his conversation with Azul and Floyd quiet and secretive, until his eyes met yours. Instinctively, you lifted your hands into a heart and flashed him a bright grin.
Jade tilted his head in amusement, a sly smile tugging at his lips before he mouthed a gentle, “Eat now” his eyes glinting with subtle affection. He even offered a small wave with his gloved hand.
Your friends blinked at you in disbelief. “Why do I feel like he’s plotting something with that smile?” Ace muttered. “Because he probably is,” Epel replied dryly.
Still, you couldn’t help but giggle as you returned to your food, cheeks warm from the attention. Meanwhile, Jade calmly sipped his drink, his gaze never quite leaving you.
ᯓ★ Kalim Al-Asim
You were halfway through a story with Ace when your eyes locked with Kalim’s form across the cafeteria. He was gesturing wildly over lunch with Jamil, cheerful as always. The moment he saw you, his face lit up, without hesitation, you formed a heart shape with your hands and beamed at him.
Kalim somehow lit up even more (if that were possible) waving both arms excitedly in return before mouthing cheerfully, “Eat now, okay?!”
Your friends blinked in unison. “Why do I feel like I just watched two puppies fall in love?” Epel muttered. “That was so loud” Ace groaned, ducking his head, while even Deuce couldn’t help but chuckle.
But you? You only smiled wider, energy renewed, and finally picked up your fork, heart full and happy. Kalim, clearly in a great mood now, returned to chatting with Jamil while sneaking little waves your way between bites.
every time someone writes vil schoenheit as someone mean, rather than someone who has the capacity to come off as mean, an angel loses their wings. i've always understood vil as someone who can come off as mean, rather than someone whose meanness is intrinsic to his character. he is strict and disciplined, and this does make him quite intimidating, however he does not go out of his way to hurt people's feelings. his comments are sharp, but they don't come with the goal of hurting someone.
it also hurts to see him depicted as someone who doesn't care, when he is the way he is because he cares so much. vil has nothing to gain from being a bully. it does not make him any better, any more beautiful, and furthermore, he wants to distance himself from the villain type cast he's stuck in. i've always believed he overblotted because of how devastating it was to realize that he was acting villainous, something he has been desperately trying to detach himself from. anyways, vil, habibi, get behind me.
This!! If anything he is often attempting to help those around him, either with his own methods or with methods that have helped him. He is exacting and firm, but he is not trying to bully others nor trying to be mean. He has been shown to help his fellows in many ways, often taking time out of his schedule and going out of his ways to make something tailored to the individual. He is meticulous and he has high standards, standards he has been held to in his own life (often with even greater scrutiny from press, his fans or even directors or trainers). He is trying though he is awkward. He has only socialized in specific ways, mainly in the distant manner of celebrities with their fans or with co-workers (and even then, many seem to be intimidated by his acting roles and status it seems).
You're so right about the overblot part too, he seemed shocked and devastated by his actions, by the fact he even contemplated and attempted it. He did not seem upset at being stopped, and more so that he would do something villainous (a description he has spent his life trying to get away from and that has affected him in his day to day- even leading to him being ganged up on by other kids when he was young.)
