oikawa x fem!reader 🩵

꧁Pre Relationship꧂

we all know oikawa has his fan girls. you’re kinda one of them, and he gives you the most attention. makes the others jealous

obviously you already noticed him—who doesn’t? however, he makes a conscious effort to keep his appearance immaculate. wants you to notice him more

he offers to be your study buddy. if you don’t understand something and ask him for help, he replies with “i’ll help, but you owe me a kiss. just kidding!” and laugh it off, but deep down he really wants that payment

he watches you with a careful and attentive gaze. he begins picking up on your habits, interests, what you like and dislike, and stores it in a folder for later

he texts you with silly pictures of animals you like, saying “this made me think of you, i hope you laugh!”

he asks the volleyball team for advice. hanamaki and matsukawa give crazy vulgar suggestions, iwaizumi says to “be a man and tell her already,” and kyotani just bitches about oikawas whining

he decides to take iwas advice. that sunday morning, he shows up at your house with a bouquet of your favorite flowers, a box of your favorite candy, all while wearing nice khaki pants and a cashmere sweater. you had just woken up

“i’ve liked you for so long. please, give me a chance!” he exclaims, almost yelling from his anxiety. he’s afraid of rejection, so imagine his surprise when you place a kiss on his cheek then hug him

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

ꨄDuring the relationshipꨄ

contrary to popular belief, oikawa is actually incredibly loyal to you. on all of his social media, he makes sure it’s known that he’s no longer single

anytime his fangirls come around, he waves them off, saying “i’m a married man! my wife won’t like this!”

he showers you with attention and affection. PDA is so important to him, so he always has a hand on you. whether that’s an arm around your shoulder or waist, or even just holding your hand

kisses you everywhere on your face. his personal favorite is your forehead, right behind your lips

he is so open about his admiration for you. literally anytime you guys are hanging out, whether that’s after school, on a date, or even just at one of your houses, he makes sure to take at least 10 photos and post half of them

he gets so happy whenever you come to his practices and games. actually gives you one of his spare jerseys so you can wear it to games

every time he makes a point off of a serve, setter dump, or set to any of the spikers, he looks for you and points at you, indicating that was for you

he loves cuddling. he likes being the big spoon so he can hold you as close as possible

after a few months, actually gets you a promise ring, and plans on upgrading to engagement after you guys graduate high school

he takes you around Takeru, his nephew, who absolutely adores you. oikawas older sister views you as a younger sister, and his parents treat you like a third child

you can tell when he’s getting too in his head. whether about you, volleyball, or his own worth, you’re the person he turns to, to expel his thoughts

Tooru Oikawa, the proud setter and captain of Aoba Johsai, whom has been featured in the news and is also the strongest anime villain—i mean come on, he took down sukuna (ball knowledge)—has been utterly brought to his hands and knees for you. you’re the love of his life, and he plans on keeping you forever 🩵

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

note from madz~ ahhh this was so fun to write!! i lwk splurged a bit, but that’s okay. hope you enjoyed this meal!

Relationship Headcanons pt2!

Vice housewardens x gn!reader (separate)

Trey Clover ☘️

trey is probably your biggest supporter

makes sure you keep up on your hygiene and health—brushing your teeth, getting enough sleep, eating enough. especially eating

if you text him saying you’re a bit hungry, give him twenty minutes. he’ll be at your door with 7 pastries and flowers

insists on baking with you, he finds it domestic and it makes his heart swell

he’s a bigger guy in the muscle sense, so he takes any chance he can get to pick you up bridal style

any pastry he makes, he ensures you’re the first person to try it. will try to throw hands if anyone else touches it before you’ve given your verdict

once caught ace trying to get a slice of tart trey made for you. ten minutes later, ace was collared at treys insistent requests

he seems like the biggest gentleman—which he is—but don’t get it wrong. behind closed doors, he’s the biggest freak. i’ll leave it at that.

for every holiday, he brings you home to his family’s bakery. his parents absolutely ADORE you—they even named a new item after you

you call him your lucky clover. he laughs it off, but it makes his day every time you call him that

trey is in it for the long run. he wants to marry you once you’ve both graduated. he says that “youre the only person i could ever find myself worthy of.”

Ruggie Bucchi 😹

if there was a contest or world record for who is the most dedicated to their lover, ruggie would win every. single. time.

absolute puppy love for you

due to his own insecurity, especially because of his financial situation, he thought that he would drift through life by himself. so being able to call you his lover is like winning the lottery

he actively ignores leona’s beck and call, choosing to spend more time with you. at some point, he tells leona that he wants money for doing chores for him. the money is to spoil you, obviously!

he likes sitting in the courtyard with you. he’ll work on a flower crown made of dandelions while you scratch behind his ears. when he’s finished, he gives you the crown and kisses your hand like you’re royalty

he makes a fool of himself so you laugh—it’s his favorite sound in the world. if you’re in a bad mood, he uses Laugh With Me to make you laugh

asks jack for workout routines so he can build muscle and be able to carry you with ease. he tries his best

is nervous about showing you his hometown, but when he rips off the bandage over a holiday break, he finds out that you love his home and the kids and his Granny. his Granny loves you too.

you guys lay in his childhood bed while he talks about random stories from his childhood

ruggie practically worships you and the ground you walk on. he says you’re his lucky lottery win

Floyd Leech 🦐

floyd is an absolute disaster to date, and i say that in the most loving way possible

never ending current of “shrimpy!” somehow, it gets worse

no shame in PDA. he loves you, so why not show it? will kiss you, bite you, slap your ass, squeeze you.. but he’ll tone down the squeezing for you. floyd will only squeeze you half to death

along with the PDA stuff, he will make out with you anywhere, anytime. doesn’t matter who’s watching either—whether it be his brother, Riddle, or even Crewel, he does not care

has azul make potions so you can breathe underwater and visit his home together. his favorite thing to do is wrap you in his tail while he swims to make sure you “keep up”

after “working” in the Mostro Lounge, he’ll cling to you and whine like a baby. it’s mandatory you coo at him like one too (dramatic ahh baby..)

he’s spontaneous and does everything on a whim, so expect him to bang on your door in the middle of the night. his requests range too—does he want to just come in and snuggle, or does he want to prank crowley? no one really knows

on the flip side, if you’re with each other and pay more attention to your phone or get into a conversation and neglect him (he’s poked you 20 times so you grabbed his hand to make him stop) he’ll sulk. you then have to assure him you still love him

floyd is a mess, but he’s your mess. and he wants it to be that way for a very long time

Jade Leech 🍄

between the two tweels, jade is the more calm one, so it won’t be as much of a rollercoaster as Floyd

jade is quieter about his adoration for you. you know his groovy card of his lab coat? where he’s staring at the mushrooms? he looks at you like that on the daily

he enjoys taking you on hikes with him through the surrounding mountains, then will make you a dish with whatever edible mushrooms you two found

it’s canon that jade is a sadist, so don’t be surprised if he bites you enough to bruise or draw blood

he’s not as willing to take you to his home as Floyd is. he feels it’s better if you don’t have to deal with the intricacies of mer-life

if you go to the lounge while he’s working, he’ll secretly disperse your bill onto other patrons—can’t have you spending a dime

although he doesn’t always show it, you’re one of the most important people in his life. he’s much more silent about it than his twin, but he’d do just about anything for you

Jamil Viper 🐍

jamil never thought he’d actually start dating anyone. once you two get together, he tries to keep it as good of a secret as he can. not out of shame—never out of shame—but out of fear. he’s never actually had anything he could call his own, and he’d be damned if he lost you to the hands of anyone

he sneaks the both of you out on kalims magic carpet. he takes you around the Scarabian desert, you sitting in his lap

he lets you braid his hair. in fact, he encourages it

he loves cooking authentic Scalding Sand dishes

when word about you two gets out, he’s terrified and half tempted to cut things off. that is until kalim talks to him, assuring Jamil that there’s no problem in having a lover

the secrets out, and now jamil has no problem in practically showing you off. even takes you home with him so you can meet his family….then takes you right back to campus

you have to heavily reassure him that you’d never see him differently just because of his status as a servant to the Asim family

jamil tries really hard for you. he knows he doesn’t need to, because he knows you won’t leave, but he’s terrified of losing you anyway

jamil never had anything he could call his own, so once you two start dating and you’re his and only his, he vows to never let that go

Rook Hunt 🏹

rook is a strange lad, to say the least. but his dedication to Vil PALES in comparison to his dedication to you

he loves taking photos of you. whether you know he’s taking them or not, whether he’s telling you to pose or snapping a quick pic through a bush, it’s all the same to him

he starts calling you roi/reine de mon amour (king/queen of my love in french!)

he loooves pointing out everything about you that he thinks is beautiful and perfect (it’s everything about you btw). he’ll say “don’t tell vil, but you’re the fairest of them all.”

he’s lowkey obsessive, but in a loving way i guess..?

he likes showing his true self around you—no makeup, no perfect hairdo or outfit. freckles, messy hair and baggy clothes is the norm when he’s with you in private

expect arrows with love notes attached to them to land right next to you. you have no idea where he is or anything, but somehow he’s close enough to send an arrow to you

flaunts you around to not just pomefiore, but quite literally anyone he comes into contact with

he keeps photos of you in his pockets and wallet

rook is strange, sure, but he means well. you are the ruler of his love after all

Lilia Vanrouge 🦇

lilia will never let anyone in the dorm live down the fact that he’s still got game after hundreds of years of living

he once said to silver “even as an old man, my rizz never falters.” lilia walked away on cloud nine, silver actually almost started crying

lilia tries to be a gentleman, but that’s only after scaring the living shit out of you. he pops up from behind while upside down, and acts like it’s the most normal thing ever (for him it is)

he kisses you while he’s upside down like in the first spiderman movie

he offers to cook for you, which you immediately decline. you do the cooking…

he like having you help him do his hair, whether that’s cutting or dying it

he has you come to the music clubs practices and shows, and makes a point to show off

has definitely written a song or three about you

he gets you to go along with whatever adventure he’s thought of going on. he lives for being spontaneous, and wants you to join him in his antics

jokes about slipping a potion into your drink or food that’ll turn you into a fae. sometimes you wonder if it’s really a joke…

super clingy. he’s lost a lot of people dear to him, so he tries to spend as much time with you as possible

if he isn’t able to see you, he sends one of his bats to give you a love letter and snack

lilia never thought he’d fall for a human like yourself, but once he does, he’s completely devoted to you

[madzelda1]

Relationship Headcanons!

Twst Housewardens x gn!reader (separate)

Riddle Rosehearts 🌹

poor guy isn’t used to relying on someone the way he does with you. at first it makes him feel weak, but then he grows confident and stronger

he’s built walls around himself to protect himself and sell his perfection, and those walls slowly come down around you

when the other heartslabyul members found out Riddle was in a relationship with an actual person and not his schoolwork or the queens rules, they absolutely flipped. riddle, thought slightly embarrassed by the reactions, walked away with a smile on his face

a lot of quiet moments with him. he helps you study, and you help him grow out of the shell his mother forced him into

he truly treasures you, seeing you as a blessing

he brings you to heartslabyul quite often, and ensures that you’re treated with more respect than he gets

once collared ace for taking a slice of the tart he made for you (it was terrible anyways..)

he sort of clings to you like a child would to their parents, which stems from the issues he faced as a kid. you find it endearing

to the rest of the world, he’s a rose with too many thorns—but to you, he’s a rose that just needs to be taken care of

Leona Kingscholar 🦁

leona doesn’t really change when you two start dating. he’s still the lazy, sarcastic asshole that everyone else knows him as

while he doesn’t have an major changes, you notice the small things—his words don’t bite nearly as hard as they used to, he actually tries to make an effort for you

similar to riddle, he prefers the quiet moments he gets with you. 90% of the time you spend together is in his bed napping

you genuinely do not understand how a person can sleep this much.

once leona grows more comfortable, he’ll start grooming you like a cat does to their loved ones. he does it unconsciously most of the time, but sometimes does it to see you laugh because of how rough his tongue is—it slightly tickles you.

he opens up about his home and why he doesn’t want to bring you around his family

but it doesn’t last long, as when cheka visits and finds that he has a lover, you instantly become auntie/unca. it bothers leona every single time, but you love cheka to death

it’s hinted at that he has depression—you’re like a lifeline to him

anytime you’re watching him play Spelldrive, whether it’s practice or a game, he puts in more effort than usual. he’s gotta show off

he may be second place in everything else, but he’s number one in your heart—and to him, that’s the best thing he could have

Azul Ashengrotto 🐙

surprisingly enough, no contract was made between the two of you (the tweels were shocked)

azul keeps his intellectual front up around you, without letting any cracks appear in the foundation

but it’s so that you don’t see how terrified and insecure he is underneath.

he starts eating less and tries to work out more—you notice this, and immediately talk to him about it

he opens up, thought reluctantly, about his childhood. and to his surprise, you don’t judge him or anything of the sort

you assure him that he’s perfect the way he is. that he’ll always be perfect, no matter what he looks like or what his social status is. he breaks down and cries in your arms, but you know that he’ll stop hurting himself

you help him run the mostro lounge, and he lets you get snacks and drinks for free—not even the tweels get that

after a long day, he always collapses against you, and half the time you fall asleep together while sitting on one of the lounges plush couches

azul finds comfort in you, something he’s not used to. he doesn’t feel the need to be perfect in any aspect, because he knows you’ll love him no matter what

Kalim Al-Asim 🧞‍♂️

kalim is already a walking ball of energy and positivity. but when you two start dating, somehow it gets worse. as in, jamil is close to strangling him half the time (not actually but yk)

kalim always makes sure that you’re satisfied. say you’re hungry? he has a whole feast for you in five minutes. bored? why not have a party!

he’s so over the top, but he means well. his heart is as big as his gestures, which both grow larger for you

he brings you around his family, flaunting you like you’re the most priceless treasure in the world (to him you are)

all 30 or so of his siblings adore you—even if you’re overwhelmed by how many there are, you get along with them all easily. seeing you interact so positively with his family makes kalims heart swell

refers to you as his wife/husband

he looooves taking you on the magic carpet, flying over the cold Scarabian area while you cling to him for warmth and safety

there’s not nearly as much quiet with kalim as the rest of the wardens—but his festive presence is how he shows his love, and it makes you feel special

you feeling loved is what kalim strives for—he didn’t need a cave of treasures to find you, but he’d be damned if he ever lost you

Vil Schoenheit 🪞

vil is an organized mess in a relationship. he’s used to being the villain, yet when you look at him like he hung the stars, he nearly short circuits

his Magicam posts stop revolving around him as much—you slowly take over his new posts. after all, he wants to show the world who the fairest of them all is

becomes protective whenever you go to a shoot with him and Neige is there. he’s deathly afraid of losing you to him of all people

vil loves doing skincare with you. he makes products and gives them to you, and always offers to do his routine with you. to him, it’s the perfect way to achieve domesticity while keeping up appearances (not that you need to, he thinks you’re perfect anyway)

Vil starts getting on to Rook whenever he catches Rook photographing you or him. especially you. claims that there’s no one who is deserving of your beauty, even Vil himself

makes you healthy meals that he knows appeals to your palate

vil used to strive to be called the fairest of them all. but now that you’ve came along, he makes it very clear who should be in the spotlight—and it’s not himself

Idia Shroud 🎮

half the time it feels like you two are long distance, dating over the internet. he means well, but during the beginning of the relationship, he’s too nervous to do anything in person

he loves playing games with you. you quickly replace Muscle Red as his gaming buddy (poor Lilia..)

he gives you the good loot all the time. he purposely will grind after you’ve gone to bed just so that he can give you the goods he got

the first time you guys actually hang out in person is when Ortho says there’s an emergency—there’s no emergency—and takes you to Idias room

idia nearly passes out when he sees you standing in his doorway. his hair turns bright pink as he looks at every empty energy drink can, empty bags of candy, and random papers and items strewn around his room

it doesn’t bother you—you actually offer to help him clean if he’d like. he says no, but you do it anyways.

he starts having you over all the time. he actually puts down his games and will cuddle up to you, watching whatever new anime has came out

he acts like a cat—sleeps and cuddles

you get along great with ortho, he practically is your little brother too

although idia will always be the awkward recluse of NRC, he is forever your awkward recluse, and neither of you would have it any other way

Malleus Draconia 🐉

malleus is the biggest gentleman on this list

he’s a bit awkward, but he means well

he’s been around for hundreds of years, but has never met anyone that’s made it worthwhile—until you came along

he definitely asks Lilia for advice

he has to get onto sebek for freaking out whenever you get too close to Malleus—he claims it’s because “if i’m the king, she’s my queen.” he states it like it’s the most obvious thing in the world

he’s not overly protective because he knows everyone is scared of him, so they wouldn’t mess with you

he always lets his guard down with you. he knows you don’t feel scared of anything of the sort around him, but the fact he’s comfortable enough around you speaks volumes

his actions speak louder than his words, which says a lot because the most basic thing he calls you is perfect

secretly wishes that he could give you something so you’d live as long as him—if that means turning you into a fae, then so be it

he never thought he’d find a mate—but once he found you, he knew he couldn’t live without you. the most powerful mage in NRC, and the future ruler of the Briar Valley, brought to his knees in the presence of a simple human.

“I wish That I had Jessie’s Girl!”

Seishiro Nagi x fem!reader

wc: 1k •••

for as long as he could remember, Seishiro Nagi was the epitome of no motivation. he had grown used to being alone, the only entertainment being his video games- not actual human interaction. but he was okay with that. he didn’t see a problem in his life style, so why should anyone else?

the only time that nagi ever had a shift in mentality was one a certain purple haired rich man bumped into him, causing nagi to almost drop his phone- but with some sort of energy burst, he managed to catch the device with his foot before it hit the floor.

after that, nagi was practically dragged everywhere with Reo. the duo spent countless hours together, whether it was lounging or practicing on the pitch, and became inseparable. this was nagis new normal. he found someone who doesn’t seem his as a drag, who he doesn’t see as a hassle. and, despite one of the first things nagi ever said to reo was a request for money, nagi wasn’t actually jealous of reo or his life.

he was content with how his life was going.

that was until reo started bringing around this girl—you. a stunner to the eyes, whom also came from a rich family. that could explain how you knew each other.

after a couple weeks of catching glimpses of you, nagi decided to ask reo who you were.

“oh, you don’t know? that’s my girlfriend, we’ve been together for a bit.” reo says casually, yet there seems to be a strange tension in his demeanor. at hearing that, nagi felt his chest become hollow.

and for the first time in his life, nagi was jealous of reo.

reo started bringing you around nagi more. after all, he felt like his girlfriend should be in the same social circle—or rather social couple—that he was in. what was the harm?

but little did reo know, nagi was completely head over heels for you. and for some reason, the fact that you were off limits made you seem more appealing to nagi. was it because for once in his life, he had to work for something he wanted? he knew it was terrible, but he couldn’t help it. the way you smiled when greeting him, the soft sound of your laugh, the easy going yet elegant way you carried yourself— all of it was the flame that nagi was drawn to. and he didn’t care if he burned in his pursuit.

for weeks on end, he watched you and reo. yet, something seemed off. the affection seemed fake—forced, practiced. curiosity built, and so did suspicion. one day, after almost three months of witnessing his best friend shower affection onto the literal girl of his dreams, nagi snapped. who wouldn’t?

because besides reo, you’re the only person who didn’t view nagi as a bore, or someone to stay away from. when you were around, he actually felt seen, without any sort of judgement. instead of making snide comments about his interests, you asked questions to better understand why he liked them. you even offered your own recommendations, just so he wouldn’t get bored.

even if the gesture was small, it made nagi feel like he was actually worth something to someone.

“reo.”

nagi was standing over his friend, who was sitting in the courtyard of their school. reo looks up, smiling at nagi.

“hey man, what’s up? wanna practice, or get food-“

“you don’t actually like her, do you? you’re faking it. i can tell.” nagi says, interrupting whatever suggestions reo was going to continue making. the color drained from reos face, his jaw slightly dropping.

“nagi, what are you talking about?” he sputters, forcing a laugh that sounded too nervous for his own good.

“cut the crap, reo. you’re making this more of a hassle than it needs to be.” nagi states reo down, waiting for some kind of acknowledgement or response. when none came, he spoke again. “you’re not fooling me with the fake affection bullshit. it’s so obvious you guys practice that.”

reo sighs, rubbing his hands down his face. “fine, you got me. we’re fake dating… my parents kinda forced me into it. she’s great and all, but i’m just not into her like that.” reo explains, and nagi feels like he could be on cloud nine at that moment.

the girl of his dreams was technically single.

“so.. you don’t care if i get with her?” nagi asks tentatively, hoping for the best yet preparing for the worst. reos eyes widen, then he breaks into a genuine laugh.

“i don’t care, go for it! i’ve seen how you look at her.”

that was all nagi needed. he turned around without another word, and began sprinting to where you always were after school.

all of a sudden, you have nagi calling your name. you turn around, watching as he slows down his sprint into a leisurely jog once he sees you. he’s panting, but has a strange aura of motivation surrounding him.

once he reaches you, he cups your face in his big hands. before you can say anything, or even react, his mouth is on yours.

he kisses you like you’re the air he needs to breathe. like you’re the only thing that could ever matter in this world.

after a moment, he pulls away. “reo told me everything. i know im not him, but give me a chance.” he says softly against your lips, still breathing heavily from his sprint across campus.

a laugh escapes you, and nagi swears its the most beautiful sound that could ever grace his ears. you wrap your arms around his neck, smiling from ear to ear. “i was wondering when you’d say something. if you mean it, then im more than happy to give you a chance.” you respond in that sweet voice he could listen to for hours.

and, in that moment, nagi swears he’d do anything for you- he’d even give up his video games if it meant you’d keep looking at him like this.

—————————————

authors note~~ i hope you enjoyed this! i thought this was a cute idea, and having a yearning nagi is always the best ••••

[madzelda1]

…hey there 😏😏😏 what’s a girl like you doing in a place like this bbg

oh you know, searching for a tenko lover

[thinkingbout-tenko]

thinking about…

….landing in Twisted Wonderland and adapting to magic-wielding students and ever growing list of overblots to deal with. This lifestyle is a hassle for anyone, especially someone without magic. Even in your misfortune, you found light. your unhinged friends, your lovely (tuna-obsessed) cat, and eventually…Jack Howl??

You and Jack first met during your first week in Twisted Wonderland. Sleep had only came in fragments for you-your mind too restless- so you decided to slip outside to clear your head. You passed by a courtyard bathed in moonlight, then noticed someone occupying it. Tall. Broad-shouldered. A wolf beast man, ears flicking as if he had already sensed your presence long before you saw him.

You stopped as he turned to face you, his blue eyes sharp under the glow of the moonlight.

“You shouldn’t be wandering around this late.” He said flatly, not unkind-but not gentle either.

He watched you hesitate, clearly debating whether to apologize or turn around and pretend you’d never seen him at all.

“I—sorry,” you said, voice hushed. “I wasn’t trying to intrude, I can go-“

Jack studied you for a moment longer than necessary. You didn’t look dangerous. Just tired. Lost. Too human for a place like this. He turns away, “Didn’t say you had to.”

“…Try not to make a habit of it,” he muttered, turning slightly away. “NRC isn’t exactly safe after dark… I’m Jack. Jack Howl. First year, Savanaclaw.”

You smile softly at his introduction, “I’m ___. What exactly are you doing out here this late?”

“I usually train at night. The courtyards empty, no one gets in my way.” He says it plainly like its the most normal thing in the world.

You remain silent then he speaks again, “So you’re really from another world.” It’s not a question, more an observation. “What’s it like there?”

You chuckle, the sound surprising you in the quiet night. “It’s nothing like this… it’s filled with… well normal things, definitely no magic and wolves- sorry! Is that offensive? I didnt mean to say that like it’s a bad thing!”

Jack’s ears flatten slightly, then perk back up. He snorts- a short, dismissive sound. “Not offensive. I know what I am.” He shifts his weight. “You’re from a world without beastmen. It’s obvious you’re not used to it.”

He says it without malice. Just a statement of fact.

He looks up at you, “Besides. You didn’t say it like an insult. You said it like you were surprised.” His tail swishes. “There’s a difference.”

It’s silent between the two of you for a moment.

“Cell phones and buses, huh?” Jack says after a beat, a hint of curiosity bleeding through his stoic tone. “Sounds.. loud.”

You chuckle, “Oh you have no idea. Rush hour is a nightmare.”

“Rush hour?” *Jack repeats.* “Sounds like a stampede.”

“Basically.” You say, a small smile tugging at your lips. “Everyone is trying to get home at once. Cars packed bumper-to-bumper, people shoving onto trains, horns blaring..” You shake your head. “You’d hate it.”

You nodded quickly, offering a small, grateful smile before backing away toward the path you’d come from. “Goodnight,” you said, soft and genuine.

Jack didn’t answer until you were already a few steps away.

“Goodnight.”

Once you were gone, the courtyard fell silent again—but it didn’t feel the same.

Jack exhaled slowly, ears twitching as he stared at the empty space you’d stood in. He told himself it was nothing. Just another student. Another problem he didn’t need to think about.

…So why did he hope you’d made it back safely?

Shaking his head, Jack turned to leave—already committing your face, your voice, the way you’d looked at him like he was something familiar, to memory.

He doubted that would be the last time he saw you.

And, surprisingly…

He didn’t mind that at all.

************************** A/N: Yay! My first official writing piece! My bff loves Jack so this one is dedicated to her! I just like writing little things like these, so a pt 2 is probably on the table! I hope you enjoyed!

Love at first sight?

• Ruggie Bucchi x gn!reader •

the newest “student” at night raven college, whom almost always had a fire breathing cat-creature on their shoulder, and couldn’t seem to escape the chaos that is the two Heartslabyul first years.

you.

although magicless, from a different world, and not even in an actual NRC dorm, you seem to fit in perfectly alongside everyone else. not only that, you’re a kind soul who likes giving to others- after all, the community service you did in your world was for a reason.

you’ve been at night raven for only a few days. you had some free time after classes were over, so you wandered around campus. during your aimless wandering, you find yourself outside of the school store, Mr. S’ Mystery Shop. the building looked as inviting as the name- dark and definitely mysterious. you’d heard stuff about the store and this “Mr S” character, but this would be the first time encountering both. with a deep breath, you push open the door to enter the store.

“welcome in, my little imp!” a bright, cheery voice greets from inside the store. in no time, a tall, darker skinned man with intricate facial markings, an interesting outfit with bone accents, and a top hat, is standing right in front of you. you jump, slightly startled.

“didn’t mean to spook you, little imp. I am Sam, the owner of this quaint little store.” Sam introduces with a flourish, making a grand gesture with his arms. “look around! i’m sure you’ll find something you like.” he says, then moves to let you walk around the store.

the building, though looking small, seemed to stretch on forever. rows of shelves lined with mysterious, cryptic, and strange items made up the bulk of the shop. as you walk around, you can hear sam greet someone that just came in. you peek around to look, and see a guy around your age with sandy blond hair and animal ears engaging with sam. you recognize him as Ruggie Bucchi, a second year in Savanaclaw, who serves as the housewarden Leona’s right hand man.

shrugging, you continue looking around, finally picking up a couple odds and ends that seemed interesting and weren’t pricey. when you went to pay, Ruggie was getting his items scanned by Sam. he was purchasing a couple cheap snacks, and when the price came up, he sighed heavily.

“Sam, let me pay you back some other time… i don’t have any money on me right now,” Ruggie frowns, mustering up his best puppy dog eyes.

Sam lifts an eyebrow, “Ruggie, you said that last week. you have to pay.. my friends on the other side won’t like it if you don’t.”

that warning sends a shiver down your spine. you step over to Ruggie and Sam, wallet in hand. “i can cover it, Sam.” you say, smiling up at Ruggie.

It was a small smile. a simple gesture. but that upward curve of your soft lips made Ruggies heart stop. his blue eyes went wide, his cheeks becoming dusted over with a blush. he wondered how soft your lips actually were, how they’d feel against his own….. hold on, what!? what was he thinking? he shook his head to drown the thoughts while you set down more than enough thaumarks to cover both of your guys’ purchases. Items in hand, you leave, gently patting Ruggies shoulder.

“U-uh, i’ll see you later, Sam!” ruggie exclaims hurriedly, grabbing his snacks and running out after you. “hey, wait!” you turn around at the sound of his voice, tilting your head in question.

Ruggie catches up to you, a boyish yet shy grin on his face. “hey, thanks for paying back there. you didn’t have to.”

you laugh a little bit, the sound joyous and warm. it melts ruggies heart. “it’s no problem. i enjoy helping those around me.” you say, reassuring him. he nods, the motion quick and choppy.

“yeah. yeah, that makes sense. i do too.” he stumbles over his words, too focused on you. what was wrong with him? he’s supposed to be this mischievous hyena, a powerful lions right hand man. yet in this moment, standing awkwardly in front of you, he’s a melting mess of emotions. utterly ruined.

and, without your knowledge, utterly yours.

with a small wave, you walk back to the main building of the campus, going to meet with Ace and Deuce. the encounter with Ruggie weighed on your mind, but was a weight you were comfortable with and openly accepting of.

ruggie stood there like a statue, watching as you left. the way you carry yourself and the sway of your body had him completely entranced. it took a bird almost landing on his head for him to finally move.

later, he’s laying in his room, finally free from leona’s endless demands. being free from leona means one thing- he gets to think about you again. he mentally hits himself for not at least getting your Magicam ID. but then again, because he didn’t get anything to communicate with you, he gains a solid enough reason to talk to you again.

as he drifts off to sleep that night, he can’t get this new student out of his head, whom has almost completely rewritten his psyche just with their gentle beauty and giving personality.

he couldn’t wait to see you again.
