You hadnât found Ace or Deuce in their dormâs lounge where they said theyâd be studying. You had left Grim in the care of your two best friends. A questionable decision? Sure, but you were pressed for time due to a sudden âemergencyâ that Crowely had called you to fix on your own help with. Which turned out to be paperwork that needed filing. Â
You head into Heartslabyulâs gardens after some of the other dorm members said they had gone out for some fresh air. Despite it being a lovely day, the gardens are void of students. However, as you walk further into the twisting labyrinth of roses you spot a boy. He has his back to you; he is quite tall; his hair falls down his back stopping just above his waist. His long hair is split dyed with black on the top right and bottom left sides, and red on the top left and bottom right.Â
You walk up behind the boy, reach up and tap him on the shoulder âUm, excuse me-â The boy tenses under the contact from your finger and jumps a bit nearly landing face first into the roses. âWaaugh!â He turns around, his eyes bugged and startled. âHuh?â His brown irises look around before finding your form. It takes a moment then you see a flash of recognition in his eyes. âAh! H- Hello prefect.â âWhat brings you- you here to- today?â Â
Now that he is facing you notice his right eyebrow is black contrasting nice with the red side of his hair. While the left eyebrow is red. He has hearts under the corners of his eyes, like Trey and Caterâs clover and diamond. There is a black heart on the right and a red heart on the left. He also has a black nose ring with a heart charm in the center.Â
âIâm sorry for startling you, but I was just wondering if youâve seen Ace and Deuce?â âI left them in charge of Grim.â you ask. The boy replies âOh, I am so- sorry but the three of them are current- currently helping house war-warden Riddle wrangle the- the flamingos they let ou- out.â You pinch the bridge of your nose and sigh at your friend's behavior. âOf course.â you lament under your breath. Â
Looking back up at him you donât really know what to say. Should you ask to hang around? It wouldnât be weird right? Youâve spent a lot of time at Heartslabyul after all. Most of the dorm members know you and will wave and make small talk when they see you in their dorm or in the school hallways. You always received invites to unbirthday parties from Riddle in person. It wouldnât be rude if you hung out in the lounge while you waited for your three idiots, right? Maybe you could look for Cater or Trey? Â
The two of you continue to stand in front of each other and awkwardly avoid each other's gaze. âUm.â you start. âIâm sorry again, for startling you.â you sheepishly say. He replies âIt- it is al-alright. I st- star- startle very easily.â The two of you fall back into awkward silence. âI- uh- y- you are welcome to- to stay if youâd l- like.â said the boy. âReally? I wouldnât want to impose.â you reply. Â
âOf co- course.â said the boy. âYou are practically an- an honorary Heartslabyul mem- member. Yo- you are alway- always welcome.â He smiled at you. You gave him a small smile in return. âThank you so much- uh-â you stop yourself and realize you donât know his name. Crap. This is rude! Youâve seen this dude around before, sometimes he is with some third years, but he is always hanging in the background you havenât really talked to him before. You shamefully wring your hands together and admit âAh, Iâve never really caught your name.â Â
âOh! A- Ap- Apologies. Iâve never pro- properly intro- introduced myself. He says trying to wave away any guilt you may have. He then shyly tucks a strand of hair behind his ear and looks down. However, because he is so tall you can still catch a glimpse of both his face and ears turning a bit red. âI- I do- don't know yo- your- your name e- ei- either. Iâve on-only heard pe- people call you pr- pref- prefect.â he says while keeping his head down. He looks back at you, with a slight blush on his face and straightens his posture. âB- but my n- name is Reign. Reign Am- Amoray and I am a th- third year.âYou smile at him again and his blush darkens a bit. âNice to meet you Reign. I am Yuu.â Reign sputters a bit and replies âA- a ple- pleasure to me- meet you Y- Yuu.â Â
The two of you just stare at each other waiting for the other to continue. Reign is the one to break the silence âAh, I a- am so s- sor- sorry Yuu I am so te- terribly a- awk- awkward.â He sighs âTh- this- this is prob- probably one of the re- reasons why I- I- I- wouldnât ha- have lasted as- as the dorm le- leader anyway.â âAl- along with my st- st- stutter.â âAs a th- third year I should ta- take more in- in initiative to interact a- and su- support my underclass- classmen.â Reign anxiously rambles so fast you barely put his sentences together in your head before you ask, âYou were the dorm leader?â He pauses and you can see a mix of sadness and disappointment in his eyes. âO-oh. Um, yes, I wa-was the dor- dorm leader th- that Riddle b-beat.â He quietly looks down again. Â
After a moment, you were just about to apologize for bringing up something that seems to be a sore memory, Reign straightens up again. âB-but that is the past an-and I must con- cont- coninue to move forward de- despite my shy nature. I will continue st- striving to better m- myself.â the original shame and bashfulness in Reignâs warm eyes is gone and replaced with a determined flame. You stare in shock at his quick shift from bashful shame to admirable determination and maturity.Â
âOh! I am ram- rambling a- ab- about myself. I- Iâm sorry. I have- havenât asked h- how you ar- are doing.â said Reign, his eyes darted around, slightly panicked at his impulsive tangent. After a moment his eyes land on you again, they shift down slightly before reengaging eye contact with you. âYo- You know I ha-had been tending to-to the roses for some time, why- why donât we grab a bite to eat?â âWe st-sti-still have some- some leftover tarts from th- the last unbirthday party, I can brew us some tea, and- and you can tell me mo-more about yourself.â Â
âO-oh I wouldnât want to trouble you.â You replied not wanting to make your anxious senior feel like he had to keep you company. âNo no, I in- insist as a member of H- Hear- Heartslabyul I must pride myself on ex- excellent and eccentric hos- hospi- tality.â He assures you with a slightly awkward but charming smile. You canât help but return the gesture âThank you.â you reply genuinely. His smile and blush brighten slightly âO- of course.â and the two of you begin walking back to the dorm. Â

Was bullied for his stutter when little but never really spoke up against his bullies because he was too shy. He is quite nice, and many people consider him a friend, but he is never close enough with anyone to be part of a particular friend group or clique. Despite his quiet personality he is incredibly smart and talented at magic. He has an excellent work ethic and strives to better himself academically and personally. Even though he is no longer the dorm leader he often pushes himself to engage with underclassmen and offer them guidance. He offers tutoring during the weekends to the members of his dorm. While he may constantly be panicking, and overthinking everything, he can be a capable senior. Â
