学園ジュードくん || ノコ

[aclowderofchattingcats-deactiva]

Just doing a test. Using pretty boys to accomplish said test. Fun stuff.

Nurse Alvin || Jude and Alvin

[doublehandedliar]

The giggle was louder than Alvin expected, but it caused a wave of relief to wash over him.  At least… At least through all this, he could make Jude a little happy.  The contact caused the older male to flinch, if only because he was afraid that Jude was falling on him.

When it was done on purpose, he wasn’t sure how to react.  So instead, he just shifted slightly, making it easier for the boy to lean into him… Although this move did not come without a deep blush.

"Yeah… I’ve been thinking about it a lot, but it feels nice hearing someone confirm it… Makes it… More real—"

We all love you for it as well…

He heard a loud thump in his chest when Jude started speaking so fondly of him, and Alvin quickly shook his head.  It was hard to believe that anyone would really give him a chance, after all he done.  He was barely able to give a chance to himself.

"Love is a strong word, kid.  I don’t think I deserve to have that be in reference to me… I don’t think I’ll deserve it for a while, honestly."

Then he felt the nuzzle.  His head snapped down, looking straight at that sleepy smile with a surprised look.  Nuzzling was more than a little affectionate, given the fact that to Alvin, it was something saved for those closest… It made him blush even more, trying to distract Jude from being suspicious of him turning his head away.

"Yeah… I have a feeling you’re gonna be winding up a lot in the near future.  I already know I’ll probably deserve at least a couple of good knocks soon enough…"

Like right about now, he thought to himself.  What the hell is wrong with me?!

[starmedic]

Jude was quiet for a little while after that, and it'd be easy to think he had fallen asleep. But it wasn't long before he shifted again, another quiet nuzzle being applied to Alvin's shoulder before he finally mustered a new response.

"I...Think you deserve love, Alvin." He was acting this way on purpose, though it was mostly done by his subconscious. He was feeling pretty drowsy now that he'd rested and was starting to feel a little warmer, so he couldn't really filter his thoughts and his words that carefully. 

"And I wanna...G-Give you that love, if I can." His face burned at that particular admittance and he buried his face into the fabric of Alvin's sleeve, somewhat coming back to his senses. 

Maybe...Just maybe Alvin would chalk it up to illness. While Jude had wanted to admit to what he thought he was feeling, he'd never meant for it to come out at a time like that. It was literally the worst way to spill. 

"N-Never mind. I should probably try and sleep now, right? A-And you can go get the medicine from Rowen!" To be honest, he didn't even know why Alvin had chosen to stay by him instead of just leave and go on his merry way after he'd explained why he had been tossing and turning so much. Jude thought it was a little odd...But the concern was touching. 

However, he didn't want to make any crucial slips of the tongue like that one again, so he decided to see what Alvin would do with his insistence before doing anything else.

team xillia with legendaries! virizion helped me pick for jude and alvin ♥♥ jude: she pointed out victini’s behavior and that was it that was all i needed. milla: easy pick, both are guardian and assumed creator of all things. alvin: we agreed that deoxys being a virus from another world matched his backstory, and i picked attack forme to mirror his strength stat boosts. elize: another easy pick. fits her dark-type artes and they’re both feared because of their abilities. rowen: also an easy pick, the most intelligent pokemon for the best tactician. leia: share a flower motif and i picked sky forme because of its behavior and her aerial combat style!

Nurse Alvin || Jude and Alvin

[doublehandedliar]

Alvin simply stayed in silence as the other spoke.  He didn’t want to believe it one single bit, the fact he had helped the other so much… But the words effected him to a point he felt the edges of his lips twitch upwards.

"If we’re gonna be sappy like that." The mercenary said as he brought his head back up.  "Then I guess I should be thanking you too."

He noticed Jude as the boy leaned into him, his smile becoming fond as well.  Deep down he wanted to attribute it to something else, but… The other realized it was probably due to the fact he was warm, and Jude was cold.  There couldn’t have been anything else, right?

"I was a selfish brat for the longest time.  I could go on about how Royalty made me that way, how Gilland raised me to be like that, but that’d just be making a whole boatload of excuses.  I was full of myself, plain and simple."

Where did this need to reveal such deep feelings come from anyhow? Either way, Alvin wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity, seeing as he had no idea what else to say.

"But you beating me in that fight… The stuff you said afterwards… It really changed me, you know? It gave me a reason to want to try and do the right thing, instead of just running away again." He chuckled, a joke forming in his mind as he let his smile shine through.

"You literally beat some sense into me.  So even though I’ve been at this selfish act for twenty six years, and… And I know that I’ll be trying to compensate for what I did for a long time… It doesn’t matter.  Because you made me realize I was doing the right thing… That I’m still doing the right thing, and that’s all that matters, right?"

[starmedic]

The pun made him smile, and not long after that he was laughing, bright and clear. When he'd finished he gave Alvin a smile, continuing to move closer until their bodies were in contact with one another, making him relax instantly from how warm Alvin was. 

"Mm...And I'll be there for you to help you compensate for it, as long as it takes." He hadn't really thought about the statement before he'd said it...It merely felt like the right thing to say, the thing that fit the most. "I know you're doing the right thing, so...I wanna help you through it, if I can. And be by your side through it all."

Where was any of this coming from? Jude hardly understood himself, but he didn't really feel like taking the words back. "Either way, you're still right. You're doing the right thing now, and that's all that matters. And we all love you for it, as well. You've found a place with us, Alvin. In my case, I know with absolute certainty you're not going to betray us again too easily."

He looked up with a sleepy smile, nuzzling his cheek into the taller's shoulder. "If you do I'll just punch you in the face so you remember your last lesson, is all...~"

Down With the Sickness || Jude and Milla

[maxwellmira-deactivated20191105]

Seeing Jude looking very excited about the book made Milla smile warmly. It seems her suggestion was a good one and that she could help in some way after all! She should have thought about it before, their passion of books was one of the things they had in common. Though, Milla was not fully aware of how different their reading material was.

She nodded confidently before announcing “Wait right here, I will go pick it up.” Well, there was no real possibility of Jude moving from his spot, but she still gestured towards him with an open palm, instructing him to remain still. Then, seemingly excited herself, she turned and walked out the door. Only two or three minutes later, she reappeared.

"Here it is, ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves’. It’s a work of fiction pertaining to a young woman of extreme beauty and an evil Queen trying to murder her out of jealousy. It seems to portray human’s vain greed and envy, quite interesting. I thought I would read fiction instead of educational material for once." She explained as she approached and handed Jude the book in her right hand, keeping another book in her left.

[starmedic]

"Oh, I wasn't expecting this one..." He read a lot when he was a child, and he could remember a few fairy tales every now and again. Snow White was one that hadn't really caught his fancy, but Milla seemed to like the book quite a bit. "I'll give it a try."

His head tilted when he spotted the second book, and he was about to ask before he mentally kicked himself. Of course...If he had a book, then it certainly made sense for her to get one for herself since they'd both be reading in silence. Well, silence other than his occasional cough, sneeze or sniffle. 

"Which one are you reading?" He asked instead of his initial question, genuine curiosity in his tone despite the illness plaguing him. Even in that state Jude still managed to question everything.
