<𝟑 RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS
Riddle opened the door to your room, carrying a bag full of medicine that he knows that will help with your sickness. He did think that maybe he is extravagating, as you told him that it’s only a fever, but he couldn’t help but worry about you.
He was about to announce himself but fortunately he noticed your sleeping form in time.
He came closer to your bed and laid the bag on your night stand without taking his eyes off you. Gently he out his hand on your forehead to check your temperature, which as he expected was worryingly warm.
When he reached for the bag he accidentally threw it off and made it fall to the floor. He gritted his teeth and nervously looked at you to make sure he didn’t wake you up. Luckily he didn’t.
That made him sigh in relief. He then crouched down to pick up the medicine. But immediately something different caught his attention.
It was the locket necklace he saw you having tied around your neck all the time. Of course he was curious what was inside but he thought that maybe you weren’t comfortable with showing him the photo inside. He deducted that you will surely show him what is inside sooner or later.
But now you didn’t need to, as the necklace laid opened. He blushed at the sight of it.
There was a photo of him that you must have taken on one of your first dates, though without his knowledge.
He got stuck in some weird trance while looking at it, and only came back to reality when he saw your hand picking it up, closing it in the process. So after all you have awaken due to the noise he made.
When he looked up he noticed the embarrassment visible on your face, which only made the red on his cheeks deepen.
He stood up and sat next to you, both of you looking down, neither knowing how to break the silence.
Surprisingly he was the one to spoke up first.
“Would you l-like to tell m-me… why you k-keep a picture of me…?” he asked shyly. He did think that it may be a sensitive topic or just an uncomfortable one for you, but he just couldn’t contain his curiosity. And he asked if you want to tell him first so if you don’t want to you can just deny him.
But your exhale made him hopeful. You then opened the locket and handed it to him so he can take a better look at it.
“It may be a silly reason but… I have your photo in my locket because… well…” you only started, but he immediately noticed how your fidgeting got progressively more intense, signifying that you’re nervous.
That’s why he took one of your hands in his one. That made you look at him, his warm smile made you feel more comfortable.
“It’s just… you are constantly busy due to the housewarden responsibilities and the time you have to sacrifice for studying to keep your place as the top student. And don’t get me wrong! I love this hard working side of you! And I know what I was signing for when deciding to date you, but… I feel like we don’t really spend a lot of time together and just sometimes happen to be together in one proximity… so I just found a way to keep you somehow close” you stopped for a moment and broke the eye contact.
“Without bothering you…” you whispered, feeling slightly ashamed of yourself, despite knowing that your feelings are valid.
Riddle was too stunned to speak for a moment, looking at you with wide eyes. He had no idea you felt like that, and now when you finally told him about it, he felt stupid for not noticing how little time you spend together on purpose.
He squeezed your hand to make you look at him again. And when you did he had a apologetic look on his face.
“I want to apologize for my ignorance… There is no excuse for how I neglected you, so much that you thought that it’s better for you to have a photo of me take the place of your partner…” he started. Then the look on his face turned into one of determination.
“But I promise to make more time for you” and you knew that he will surely keep his promise.
“I’ll hold you to your word then” you smiled at him, which he reciprocated immediately. He was glad that a smile finally appeared on your face.
But don’t think that you will avoid taking the bitter medicine that he had bring you.
<𝟑 AZUL ASHENGROTTO
Azul couldn’t believe that after all this time of knowing Floyd he still gets surprised from his randomness.
He looked up at the smirking merman that was looking down at his sitting form and raised an eyebrow at him. It was foolish of him to think that he can work on his contracts in peace.
“What was so important Floyd, that you decided to leave while on your work shift and come to me personally?” Azul asked with an unimpressed look on his face, which didn’t discourage Floyd but only made him giggle.
“I came to give ya a little something” Floyd said with a teasing gleam in his eyes “I think that it’s something that will pick your interest” and without any further explanation he laid something on his desk and left his office.
Azul sighed at his friend’s behavior, but his gaze immediately went to the object left by Floyd. He gently picked it up in his hands. It was a necklace, and an oddly familiar looking one at that, but he couldn’t put his mind on where has he seen a jewelry like that.
But after a moment he shrugged, settling on thought that it was probably on the internet or some magazine.
He was sure that somebody probably have lost it and Floyd has just happened to find it (although he wouldn’t put it above him to have stole it), which meant that sooner or later that person will think of coming to him for help to retrieve it.
After he internally patted himself on the back for his genius, he noticed that the necklace had a way to open it. Luckily for him he didn’t have much remorse for violating someone’s privacy.
And at the same time that he had opened the locket, the door to his office has opened too.
“Hey Azul, have you maybe seen the necklace that you had given me?” you asked, slowly revealing you figure. Perfect timing.
Ah, so that’s where he has seen it. How silly of him to forgot something that was bought my his own money for his dearest partner.
When you didn’t get a response immediately you got confused and walked closer to the desk that Azul was sitting behind. And there was your lost necklace, lying in your boyfriend’s hands, open, showing his photo.
You blushed in embarrassment at your secret being discovered by him. “Oh, there it is” you said quietly.
Azul slowly looked up at you with pink covering his face. “Can I ask why d-do you carry a picture of me?”
“It’s n-nothing serious really… It’s just that you are so constantly busy that I figured that I will keep a photo of you so I can feel somehow close to you without bothering you… It’s so silly I know” you said nervously without looking at him.
“Honestly it sometimes feels like a photo of you is more of your boyfriend than you” you joked, hoping to lighten up the mood.
At which you failed greatly.
Azul immediately after your words stood up and rounded the desk to be close to you. He took your hands in his, giving you your necklace back, and with visible embarrassment on his face looked you into eyes.
“I want to sincerely apologize… for not noticing how little time we spend together. That’s why I ask you now to go on a date with me.”
You blinked at him surprised. “Like… right not?” you asked with a confused smile.
“Precisely” he linked his arm around yours and started to pull you towards the door “My work can be finished later, now you are my priority” he said with that smug smile of his.
“And I hoped that we maybe could take a better photo of me for your locket.”
<𝟑 JAMIL VIPER
Even though Jamil knew that you feel bad about giving him more work, he insisted on taking care of some of your duties, as you had something important to do. Although it did took some time to make you leave your room to go where you needed to be.
And now he was beginning to do the last responsibility that he was on your list, which was washing the laundry.
As he was checking the pocket of your clothing, he began wondering why doing something for you didn’t feel like a chore, like it was with Kalim. Obviously he hadn’t have to do it for you, unlike for his housewarden, but it couldn’t be only that.
Before he could dive deeper into this new thought, his hand has found something in the pockets of one of your pants. And it wouldn’t do such impression on him if it was a tissue or some trash that you have forgotten to throw away.
But it was a locket necklace, one that he has seen you wear almost all the time, that’s why he was confused to why you haven’t it with yourself right now.
He knew that he should just leave it on your desk or somewhere but instead pocketed it in his hoodie and thought that after finishing doing the laundry he will go to wait for you in his room and just text you to call him when you’re done.
And for the rest of the process of doing the laundry, he was now wondering about what was inside your locket and fighting with himself to not peek what’s inside.
Later when you called he asked you to come to his room as he has something to ask you, and due to him sounding quite serious (although it was his normal tune) you hurried and went there immediately after ending the call.
And when you arrived you found Jamil already waiting for you next to the entrance to the Scarabia dormitory.
He perked up after seeing you and came up closer to you right away. And before you could even greet him or thank him for helping you with your duties, he gently took your hand and laid your necklace there.
Your hand immediately went to your bare neck and your eyes widened. You couldn’t believe that you have forgotten something so important! Then you realized what that could mean and your eyes shyly looked at Jamil.
“Did you…?” you were embarrassed to even ask him, but thankfully you didn’t have to end your question as he instantly understood what you were talking about.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t look inside” that made you sigh in relief. “But I actually hoped that you would show me what photo you have in there. If you want to of course, don’t feel pressured” he said and laid a hand on your shoulder as an attempt to make you feel comfortable.
And although you didn’t feel like you have to tell him, but the curious look in his eyes made you decided to finally reveal your little secret.
You slowly opened your locket, which made him perk up, and at the sight of his photo inside his breath got in his throat.
He didn’t even need to ask you to explain why you have it inside.
“The thing is… I know that you are really busy due to your status as both Scarabia vice-housewarden and Kalim’s… servant, so I feel really bad when I bother you when you’re working or have that rare moment of peace to rest… That’s why I thought that I will just keep a photo of you in my necklace to somehow contain my longing…” you said slightly ashamed.
“It’s stupid I know-”
“Not at all” Jamil said firmly. “I’m sorry that… I didn’t notice how me working is affecting you” you wanted to argue that he didn’t owe you an apology for that but he wouldn’t let you. “But you should know that you could never be a bother for me. Your presence always sooths me, no matter if I’m working or resting, you’re always welcomed” he finished with a warm smile.
You smiled at that and nodded, too at loss for words.
Then he took the necklace from your hands and closed it. He circled you to stay behind you and gently put it on you and locked it.
“So what do you say about having a sleepover tonight?”
<𝟑 VIL SCHOENHEIT
As Vil started doing his morning routine, he noticed something lying on his vanity table. It was the locket necklace he saw you wearing all the time, so it was weird that you left it here.
Yesterday you had a movie watching date, and although he did propose having a sleepover, you refused due to having to wake up early tomorrow to attend some meeting, which he understood and didn’t press on.
You must have been so tired that you forgot that you have taken it off after it got tangled with his hair during your cuddling.
He looked at the time on his phone and saw that you must have already departed for said meeting, and although he didn’t know how long would it last, he decided to personally go deliver your necklace to your room after a few hours so he will be sure that you will be there, as he didn’t trust anyone (especially Rook) to respect your privacy and not peek inside it.
He nodded satisfied at the plan he came up with and continued his routine.
When the time to visit you finally arrived, and he was already in front of the door to your room, he knocked and waited for a few moments. To his confusion no one opened it, but before he could turn around and leave he heard your muffled voice that yelled for him to come inside.
Which was weird as you always welcome him personally by opening the door for him.
But he just shrugged and stepped inside, his eyes immediately finding your figure, that was clearly searching for something, which he was sure that it was what he came to return.
“Hey Vil, did you need something?” you asked him, although you didn’t even turn around to look at him and greet your boyfriend properly, which left him slightly bothered.
“So I can’t come to you unless I need something?” he teased you with a raised eyebrow. Though you missed the sarcasm in his voice and took it personally.
“No, no, of course not!” you said finally acknowledging him with your gaze.
He chuckled warmly and came closer to you “I was just kidding dearest, don’t take everything so seriously.”
You laughed, slightly embarrassed at not getting his sarcasm. “Sorry.”
He smiled at you “Although yes, I do need something from you, actually, you are the one who needs something from me” he said. That made you raise an eyebrow at him, but before you could ask what he meant by that, you noticed the thing you were looking for in his opened palm.
“My necklace!” you exclaimed with relief. “I can’t believe I left something so important!” you took the locket and hugged it to your chest.
“What is so important about it? If you don’t mind me asking of course” said Vil, happy at the sight of your nerves easing.
You looked at him for a moment, before opening the locket, showing him his photo. He smirked at the sight of that, as he was already suspecting himself as the one that you keep tied around your neck.
“You don’t need a photo to admire me you know, you can just look at the real thing” he said with his teasing grin. Although you only chuckled awkwardly at that. That confused him.
“But I don’t have many opportunities to look at the real you, do I?” you said sadly. That made his eyes widen.
“What do you mean by that?” he furrowed his eyebrows. A sigh left you.
“It’s just that… you are so busy all the time with your career as a Pomefiore housewarden, model and actor… I always feel bad when I try to squish myself in your already packed schedule. So I-“
“So you find something to make you miss my presence less?” he finished for you, weirdly quietly. You shyly nodded.
You grew nervous when you were met with a silence. But before you could joke that it wasn’t anything serious he tapped something quickly in his phone.
“I’m disappointed in myself for not noticing my partner’s struggle to voice their needs, but fret not dearest, I will redeem myself” he smiled at you warmly and took your hands in his.
“I propose adding weekly dates into my schedule. We can discuss it together right now, as I cleared my plans for the rest of today” he lead you to your bed and sat down, you following.
“And remember, there is always a space for you in my schedule, no matter how packed it is" and he booped your nose as a sort of ressurence.
