mash doesn't consider his feelings for you to be love or not until his friends ask him out of pure curiosity. he knows that he feels something for you, but that's as far as he considers. you make him feel more than most people do, even when you're not doing anything special. if he were to choose spending time with you over making cream puffs, he'd prefer to make cream puffs with you. it's not that fun making them by himself anymore, mash figured.
besides, it's not like mash really knows what love is. there's no solid description of it, but according to his friends, dot especially, it's a strong feeling that makes you want to spend more time with a certain someone or just be near them at any time of the day.
and to mash, he figures he does love you when you poke your head into your dorm room and his heart does a silly jump, but his eyes light up without him knowing. poor mash, not realizing that he's so wrapped around your pinkie that anyone could practically see a dog tail wagging behind him every time he sees you.
finn wants to implode at the mere mention of love. not because he doesn't love you, no. but because he's not sure if he's ready to say it. he doesn't know if he should admit it because he fears that if he does, he'll scare you off. but finn knows he loves you. more than he'd like to admit. even a mere glimpse of you in the hallways or classrooms sends his heart soaring, but finn knows that he loves you because he feels so safe with you.
you're a home he wished he had in his childhood, back when he thought a home was a building. but finn learned that a home is a person's heart, and he's made himself at home in your heart just as much you've found one in his. and he hopes you'll never leave it. there's nowhere else safer for him than in your arms with your hands in his.
finn knows that things will be okay because he loves you, even if he hasn't come around to saying just yet.
there are very few things lance hesitates about. in fact, one might think there's nothing that would make him stumble more than the knowledge that his sister might get a boyfriend one day. but those kinds of people don't know him. they all assume he only has his sister in his mind and nothing else, but that's not true at all.
no, lance hesitates the most when he considers for a brief moment if he truly loves you more than anna. of course, the argument there would be: it's a different kind of love; there's no comparison! but that's not what lance is questions. he doesn't want to be a waste of your time. he doesn't want to look back and realize you were never his first priority when you should've. he doesn't know if he could handle the heartbroken and disappointed look you give him when you realize you weren't his first priority, the first person he thinks of when he wakes up to the last person he thinks of when he falls asleep.
lance knows you should be. and therefore, he questions his love for you. and when he realizes that you're no mere second or third priority in his life, lance feels comforted. only when he is self-assured can he face you as your lover. because you deserved his full devotion.
of course he does; dot has no doubt in his mind that you are the only thing on his mind for a good portion of the day. he daydreams and dreams about you, spends any spare waking moment wondering what you're doing, if you've ate, if you're sleeping well, if you're having a good day, and so on. to dot, you're on a whole different level of vip, even more than his friends and sister. so yes, dot doesn't hesitate to say bold declarations of love because what else could these feelings be?
dot is the picture perfection description of a simp, down bad, head over heels, and rose-tinted glasses all at once. there's really no question behind it when he's grinning like an idiot at a picture of you and him on your latest date, rubbing it into his friends faces and declaring you as nothing short of his heart, soul, and world. and dot's words are only simple and bold because he sees no need to use fancy, illustrating words for the love that burns for you night and day.
abyss loves you like you're the only reason he gets up in the morning. he doesn't even have to open his eyes to think about you; the darkness beneath his eyelids makes him crave your blinding smile and warm embrace immediately. oh, how he longs for the future days where you can wake up in his arms, the mornings and nights when you're the first and last thing he sees. abyss knows he loves you... he craves you in more than mere carnal ways.
abyss has no need of the sun when he has you; abyss has no need of a large manor that he grew up in the basement of when he has you. he needs nothing else but you, and there's nothing that deters him from knowing that he loves you. and he knows you know he loves you because you're so gentle with him, his heart, his body, his soul. there's no amount of words he could say to describe how you make him feel, but all he knows is that you must be a reward, a blessing from the heavens because he had some great and marvelous thing i his past life.
whenever abyss looks at you, he knows. all the trouble and suffering in his childhood was all the more worth it when he found you in his life. found you in the sunlight, humming and swaying with the sunny breeze, sitting there like you had stepped out of a painting, feeling like you were made of silk. how soft and delicate his love is, but stronger than anything else in the universe.
is there truly a word abel could use to describe how he feels around you? was there really a phrase of sorts, something poetic but simple that he could use to explain how painful yet delightful his love for you is? he wonders, truly.
abel is no genius with his feelings, but he knows that you are what he's been looking for. you are the other half of his soul, the puzzle piece that fits the you-shaped gap in his heart; you're simply so perfect for him to love that abel feels like it is a sin to love you. a sin to love you and desire you the way only he could, to crave you and seek you out when he misses the sight and feel of you, perhaps even the taste of your lips on his.
abel is no genius with his feelings, yet he knows that this love between you and him are for the two of you alone. no one else gets to lay a hand on it, lest this love be a sin to anyone else, a maze of torturous wants and needs that could only be fulfilled by you. but they can't have you. because abel has you. therefore, this love is only for you and you alone.
there's very little wirth feels like he needs to prove. he knows he's strong, he knows he's smart and has wealth that his other peers are jealous of. and he knows he loves you.
but does he? does he love you the way you deserve? are you content being loved by him? are you pleased with the love you've found in hi heart, all for you to take and take with no expectations of giving anything in return? perhaps a glance or two his way and maybe a smile will do nicely, wirth thinks. he'll do just about anything and everything that you wish him to do, just as he had for his father who gave him no recognition and no praise for his hard work. you, on the other hand, gave when you weren't required to. you recognized, acknowledged, and praised him beyond words. you touched his heart when no one else wanted to, and now he's so hopelessly yet willingly yours.
wirth knows he will never be happier with anyone else. they could never provide him with what you give him, even if you didn't need to. all your sweet words and touches, warm eyes and hands, down to your very breath seems to sing praises to him, and wirth thrives.
oh please, please ask rayne if he loves you. please ask when he knew he loved you. he begs. he begs and pleads and waits for the day you walk about to him with the cutely curious glint in your eyes, adorably asking him when he knew he loved you because he has an answer. an answer that's been holed up in his pocket like a housekey waiting to be brought out at the end of a tiring day of work.
rayne knew he loved you the moment you came to him in tears, apologizing over and over again until he was more worried you were going to pass out from the lack of air in your lungs than whatever you did wrong. he found it so silly yet lovable that you were so sorry that you spilled your morning coffee on his rabbit handkerchief, knowing he cherished it. but there was nothing more he cherished than you. rayne loves you more than all the money in the world, all the wealth and comfort the world and its people could lay at his feet. why would he need all that when he has you right beside him? don't be silly, he has no thoughts of leaving you, so you shouldn't be either. you were his for the taking to day you sobbed into his chest over spilled coffee on his handkerchief. you were his to love and cherish and keep when he tilted your head up and had the first taste of your lips against his.
there's no love like rayne's, and rayne knows he got you hook, line, and sinker.
ah yes, the one man who acts like you don't mean anything more to him than a housemate and a coworker. orter is insufferably emotionally constipated, so please bless him if he can't show his love for you properly. orter has considered telepathically sharing his thoughts with you whenever he thinks of you and fawns over you in his head, but he doesn't because he knows neither of you will get anything done. you're better off having blind faith that this guy loves you because while you and him think he's being sly and sneaky, his coworkers and especially his brother can see otherwise.
how do you now know that he covers the table with his head when you go under to grab something you dropped? how do you not realize that he has memorized your coffee order top to bottom? how do you not see how he knows how you like your eggs, steak, or any food order that you've made at any restaurant? how do you not see orter madl going above and beyond for you?
the answer is simple: he's never given you a reason to expect anything less. orter, from acquaintance to marriage, never gave you a reason to expect anything less from you because he knew when he met you that you were going to be something else to him. cringey, i know, and he knows too, but there's really no other way to explain it. but because that's the case, you don't see his efforts because orter doesn't want you to. he doesn't want to be praised for something he sees elementary, basic, and put promptly, the lowest standard.
Before Rayne became a Divine Visionary, you were always helping him out
Be it in or out of class, with magic related stuff or anything, you were always there to help him
You are in Orca dorm and spend most of your time researching and creating new spells and potions
Your personal magic allows you to create miniature pocket dimensions where you store things
You mostly fight using Armor and weapons you’ve stored in your pocket dimensions
You had sat by Rayne in class and during your time together you learned about his desire to become a Divine Visionary
You told him that you would support him and help him whenever he needs it since you believed that he could change things for the better
Eventually it came time for the Divine Visionary exam
During the Finals, you and the other finalists were trapped in a giant mansion and had to partake in a battle royal
Inside the mansion were the other finalists but also traps and monsters. The last person standing would win
You had been giving your all throughout the challenge but you were running out of magic. Eventually you came across a monster who had beaten the other finalists
Despite your best efforts, you tried to hold the monster off but you had run out of magic energy. You were certain that you were going to be hurt but then you saw giant swords come out of nowhere and destroy the monster
You looked up to see Rayne standing behind you
You smiled up at him weakly and chuckled
“What’s so funny? I can’t have my future assistant being taken out by a monster”
Lance Crown:
Honestly, this boy probably would have left you on your own if it weren’t for the fact that his little sister loves you
You’ve known him and his sister since you guys were really young
You and your mother worked for the Crown family and you worked as Anna’s caretaker when she was little
She came to see you as a big sister and you grew to love her as your own
You acted as both a maid and bodyguard for Anna despite you being the same age as Lance
When Anna fell sick you were determined to find a cure and help cure Anna
Lance had questioned your loyalty to Anna many times but you ended up kicking his ass and demanding that he help you find a cure instead of wasting time questioning you
You both eventually ended up enrolling into Easton, you wanted to research healing magic while Lance was set on becoming the next Divine Visionary
Your family’s personal magic is mostly healing based and creating force fields which is why your family works for others as maids, caretakers and bodyguards
During the fight against Innocent Zero, you came along as backup to heal the others and help protect them
Despite your best efforts, the enemy began to attack you in hopes of taking out the opposing forces healer
But before you could get hurt, Lance immediately came to your rescue and protected you
“Anna would be upset with me if I didn’t do everything I can to protect you. Now get out of here and find a safe distance to support us from!”
Mash Burnedead:
You and Finn had always been close friends due to the fact that your older siblings were extremely strong and you two weren’t anywhere near their level
Being Margarette Macaron’s younger sibling, you had a lot to live up to
You weren’t anywhere near as strong as them but you were extremely kind and shared a love for music with your older sibling
Despite the differences between you two, you and Magarette were close
Your personal magic allows you to create illusions, and while the illusions may be incredibly powerful, your magic is considered weak and useless
When you met Mash, he thought your magic was amazing and complimented you on it
When you tried to protect Mash from Orter during his trial by making an illusion of mash using magic, Orter attacked you
Mash was furious when he saw that and quickly moved to defend you.
You stood in front of Mash before the Divine Visionaries and told them that magic exists to protect what you love and that if they want to kill Mash then they’ll have to kill you
Mash put his hand on your shoulder and walked in front of you “it’s okay, I can handle this. But thanks”
Abyss Razor:
You were a young maid in the Razor household
You were assigned to Abyss and looked after his needs
When his eye appeared and his parents locked him in a cell, you stayed by his side as often as you could
You would visit with him and bring him toys and books
You’d play games with him and were always kind to him
You both knew that you would be punished severely if you tried to free him. Abyss was just happy to have someone there for him
You brought him his meals and always had a smile on your face. You tell him all about your day while he ate
One day, you brought him food and he saw that there were bruises on your face and you had a split lip. Despite his questions you smiled and told him you had gotten hurt by accident
One day, his mother came down to see him, she entered the cell and began to strangle him
When you saw this, you took out your wand and attacked her. You got between them and that was when Abyss realized where your injuries came from
Seeing his mother attack you, the only person who had been kind to him, he attacked her and defended you
“I promise, so long as you’re by my side I will protect and cherish you, that’s the least I can do to repay your kindness”
Abel Walker:
You met Abel as a child
Back when his mother was alive, sometimes he would go with her when she would feed the poor
That’s where Abel met you
Your magic was incredibly strong but you were born deaf thus your parents had abandoned you since they believed you were weak
Your personal magic is wind based which causes a lot of issues for you since you’re like a walking wind storm
Due to your inability to hear, other kids pick on you and bully you
When Abel found you being picked on he made the bullies leave before taking you to his mother
His mother felt for you and decided to take you back with them and taught you sign language
You and Abel grew very close after the death of his mother and you both became each other’s support
When Abel and you enrolled in Easton, you both created the Magia Lupis and started gathering people for it
Eventually Mash would come and beat Abel
When Cell War showed up to try and kill Abel, you threw yourself between them and fought off Cell War until Mash arrived
In the process both you and Abyss got hurt protecting Abel but Abyss’s injuries were worse
After the fight, Abel approached you and hugged you
“Thank you for always being by my side. I promise I will become someone worthy of your support”
ⓘ part 2 of how mashle boys kiss you! please read rules and warnings of the upcoming content: gn!reader — fluff w/hints of suggestion; incl. rayne, margarette, abel, + abyss. kissing, fluff, spice-ish, + light teasing. i had criminally forgotten rayne last time, so here he is. tagging bc i said i would write it: @mayurin17
rayne kisses softly.
he's not to forceful, nor too light, but just enough to give the right satisfaction. he kisses you like your glass that could be shattered at any given moment. his hand cups your cheek as he leans in carefully to steal your lips for a single moment.
rayne kisses like you like he worships you. especially, when the two of you are in private. his soft lips travel from the tips of your ears, to the underside of your jaw, to your collarbone, down the soft skin of your arms, and to the palm of your hands before he flips them over to kiss the back of them.
if it's truly a special night, he'll go past that, breathing as if he'll soon while slowly, yet softly, kissing down the valley of your chest and down to your stomach.
margarette's kisses are smooches.
they kiss like a grandma meeting her grandchildren. they also kiss with the purpose of marking you up. after all, the deep purple lipstick is for more than show. if anything they start wearing it because the purple looks to good on your skin, paired with the fact that people know your theirs.
margarette grabs your face when they kiss you. again, grandma. they pour love and adoration to the kisses as they nuzzle your face. a happy hum of a tune leaves their lips as they smash them against yours.
"ah, darling, it seems you've got a little something on your face." they smirk as they admire your face littered with kiss marks.
abel kisses like a middle school. he has zero idea what it is or what it looks like to kiss. he was the type to shy away or cover his eyes when people kissed near him, hence he has no blueprint.
he leans in close, still holding the odd wooden doll in his arms. "um, abel?" you whisper, looking down at his oddly puckered lips and the doll in his arms. you look at him and then at the doll, "oh," he whispers before putting it down.
abel carefully holds your arms, "ive never- im not sure how to- " he mumbles until you chuckle. his eyes widen a smidge as you smile sweetly at him before presses a soft kiss to his cheek.
"lets start with that, hm?"
the man let's out a shaky breath, but nods. he leans in close, deciding to press his lips to your forehead instead.
"is that satisfactory?"
abyss kisses like a kid going through the start of puberty. after all, he's been isolated his entire life. who would ever want to be with him? he has the devil's eye after all.
so, logically, he swoons, melting in your hold when your hands cup his face. one of his hands moves to encompass yours, his droopy eyes flutter when he looks at you. he shifts his face to press a soft kiss to the palm of your hand before rubbing it on his cheek.
abyss learns to kiss you with love. it starts from hand kisses, to forehead kisses and kisses on the cheek, to kisses on the corner of your lips, to your lips themselves, paired with soft, loving kisses to your collarbone.
he smiles softly at you after every kiss, whispering a 'thank you,' as if he needs to.
summery: you show Abyss a kindness that no one has before, which leads to two lovesick fools.
tw: none that I can think of, just typical sad boy Abyss :(
a/n: I love him sm and there's almost no content for him so I had to do something about it.

Master List | Part One | Part Two | Part Three
The first time you laid eyes on him they were drawn to the porcelain mask that laid on his face. Although the face is typically the first thing someone’s eyes land on, you felt like you did something wrong. He was clearly hiding his face, as not only did he wear the delicate mask, but he wore his hood up. You didn’t wish to offend him in any way, so you politely asked if you could sit next to him as that was the only seat left.
That was the start of your relationship with Abyss Razor, a high ranked Magia Lupus from the Lang dormitory. He was quiet and intimidating, and the fact that you couldn’t see his reactions or expressions only made you feel more timid in his presence. Yet even though he looked to be domineering, and a part of a notorious cult-like group that boasted of their superiority, he had been nothing but kind to you. For group projects he let you lead, chiming in politely when you almost did something wrong.
His tall imposing figure had turned into a comforting presence. He never judged you for your flaws and he seemed genuinely interested when you found yourself speaking of your interests. You had found yourself falling for your mysterious deskmate despite all odds. You didn’t mind the mask he wore, nor that you ended up filling most of the silence between you two…although sometimes you wished he’d speak more about himself. You couldn’t help that your endearment for Abyss had caused you to want to learn more about him as a person.
And then the unexpected happened. One day, Abyss had showed up to class without his mask. You tried your hardest not to stare, but you were flabbergasted that he had been hiding the most handsome face you had ever laid eyes on. From his long light blue hair tied up in a high ponytail all the way to the jagged marks that lined his cheeks. He was truly beautiful, and you found yourself suddenly questioning your relations to him. It was only recently that you had pondered to finally admit your feelings, but that suddenly seemed to be a lost cause.
You looked down at the table, unable to shake off your sudden feeling of inadequacy. Like usual, he took his seat next to you, taking out the needed materials for the course. You couldn’t stop yourself from taking a glance at him from the corner of your eye. He looked so graceful as his eyes followed his every move. Oh those eyes. You knew the tale of the devil who imbued his evil into only whom could be deemed evil. The mark of the evil eye was only a fable you had thought, but how could one of the sweetest men you had ever met be evil? He kept to himself, never wanting to impose. He’d help whenever he could, never wanting to be useless. You felt your heart break as you finally realized why others kept a distance from him.
You frowned, wondering how you could be so oblivious about someone you cared so deeply for. You had prided yourself for being observant of his traits, of recognizing his feelings without needing to see his face, only to be the most oblivious.
“I-I understand i-if you want to stop being friendly t-towords me,” Abyss stuttered, breaking you out of your reverie. Your eyebrows furrowed as you frowned. You finally faced him fully, taking in his downcast gaze, his eyes refused to meet yours, and his head stayed bowed. You once again felt your heart break. Did he really think so little of you? Did he take you for someone so superficial? You had shown him never ending understanding, did he really think you’d just stop because of his powers? Did he really only think of your love as pity?
“Why would I do that?” You asked, eyes locked on him with determination.
He glanced at you before quickly correcting himself and kept his eyes down, “...I have a curse, and I don’t want to burden you.” You blinked blankly at his idiocracy. Curse? How could the man who lit your heart aflame be a curse or a burden? You longed for his company, for his attention, couldn’t he feel your admiration? Had you really hidden your feelings that well?
“You’re not a burden,” You huffed, trying to keep your frustration in check. He had clearly been hurt, and you didn’t want to add to it. “And I don’t think of it as a curse.” Before he could rebuttal your claims, the teacher had waved everyone’s attention to the front.
It was rare for you to see Abyss outside of class. Although Magia Lupus had disbanded for an unknown reason, your worlds still seemed to be vastly distant. His smooth voice called your name, you looked up from the book you were currently reading. As hard as you tried not to, your gaze lingered on his left eye, memorizing the intricate detail that it held. But you knew it was a sore spot for him, so you tried to dial back your reverence.
His face was solemn, his eyes meeting your own for the first time, “There have only been a few people who have looked over my abilities. Fewer have actually let me stay by their side. It seems that your kindness is greater than I thought, and for that I thank you.”
You weren’t sure what to feel. Your heart fluttered at the unadulterated gratitude that showed in his eyes, yet it felt crushed by how terribly others have treated him. An overwhelming feeling consumed you, a feeling of wanting to shower him in all the affection and love he needed and more. This feeling shocked you, as you’ve never felt so strongly towards another before, and it somewhat scared you.
“Abyss,” You mumbled, restraining yourself from jumping at him to engulf him in a hug. He looked anxious, cheeks reddening slightly as he glanced away. You stood up, unable to hold back your affections. Giving in to your own desires selfishly, you indeed engulfed him in a hug. You squeezed him lightly, hoping your feelings got across to the beautifully sad man you held.
His body tensed under your touch, and you went to pull away, not wanting to make him uncomfortable, but his arms wrapped around you before you could move. His touch was gentle as he unsurely held you back. The two of you stood like that for a good while, taking in the comfort the other brought. When you finally pulled away, Abyss couldn’t meet your eyes, this time out of fluster. His cheeks were painted a deep red as he fumbled with his hands. A bright smile shown across your face at the display. Once again, you were astounded how the world could turn such a sweetheart away.
A boost of confidence overtook you at Abyss’ bashful display, “I really like you, and nothing will change that.”
That seemed to be the finishing move as he passed out.
sorry for the hiatus, was caught up in personal and academic things. I'm here now >:))
Part 1 - Part 2
warning : mentions of injuries and wounds, cell war slander, use of honorifics for better expressions of relationships between charas
the fight scene might get too long, more abyss x reader moment at the end
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
synopsis: abyss (and the others) gets saved (?) and a reunion matching the eccentricity of the first meeting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
who would've known first year students would be capable of handling members of magia lupus just like that?
abyss, having chosen to fight mash instead of the other juniors, was surprised that he got defeated by a lack-magic but he wasn't much affected by that defeat as much as he thought he would
even abel was defeated by the same lack-magic
what took all of them off guard was the unexpected appearance of one of innocent zero’s minions
Another barrage of attacks made from carbon rained upon the beat up group of students, Mash being able to defend but getting wounded in the process. Everyone knew they couldn't just keep on defending with Abyss sustaining a serious injury and Abel preoccupied with tasks on protecting Abyss and helping mash defend.
Things were looking a bit grim. It didn't help that a suspicious portal suddenly opened up on the ceiling as a figure fell through.
It was a pretty long drop from the ceiling to the floor. Everyone was surprised at the appearance of a new person— the group of students, Cell War, and even the person themselves it seems.
With a short yelp, the figure fell and ungraciously landed on the cobblestone floor. A groan of pain was heard as everyone only watched the figure — a female— cradle the spot she fell on.
Noticing that there were eyes watching you, you immediately stood up and dusted yourself off, coughing into your hand in the process.
“I'm not interrupting anything, am I?” You cheekily asked while scratching your cheek with a finger.
Everyone deadpans but Abyss is struck with awe. Memories of meeting the eccentric lady rushed into his mind and his ears start ringing as all else became faint sounds.
Mash answers you with familiarity, “(y/n)-senpai, what are you doing here?”
You shrug, taking on a thinking pose, then facing the group.
“I got curious since I felt a huge surge of magic here. Didn't expect an edgelord to be here.”
Cell war snapped out of the stunned state at that, immediately sending an attack towards your turned back. A portal appears, the continuous attack being endlessly taken in.
As the carbo attack ended, the portal disappeared as well. You put a hand on your hip, twirling around, then tutting at the edgy looking man(?).
“Well, aren't you just rude?” You sighed.
The other students were only wordlessly watching as Cell sent another attack towards you. You did the same counterattack.
“Hey, is this the only attack you have? I don't think I wanna keep on doing the exact same thing repeatedly.” Your tone dripped with boredom.
Cell sent a different spell, this time an intimidatingly large piece manifested before being launched in your direction— only to be still eaten up by another one of your portals.
“That’s your third strike, now it's my turn” You said while brandishing your wand in preparation to go on the offensive.
Multiple portals opened up at once behind you, the spells Cell sent earlier being launched back at him all at once. But before it can directly land on him, the whole attack bounced back towards you.
You got caught a bit off guard but thankfully pulled up a big portal in time to eat up the reflected attack.
It was basically like playing uno with the back and forth reverse cards being placed.
As the portal disappeared, you immediately called the enemy out.
“Hey, isn't that unfair?!”
Everyone else thought how incredulous the statement was especially when you were the first one to send the blonde’s spells back at him.
The man only laughed, carrying a mirror around the size of his torso. He then went on a monologue of how it was a mirror that can deflect any magic hurled at it.
“It's futile to keep on struggling like useless ants!”
You stare up at the man blankly before fully turning around and walking to where the group of wounded students were.
“Hey kid,” You call out to Mash.
“You’re only two years older.”
“Nevermind that, are you going to help me or what?”
Cell sends another flurry of carbo rain at them, your portals consuming them again.
“I didn't want to steal your spotlight.” The ravennete responded back
“I think that's enough screen time for me, though?”
“Alright.”
Mash punches through the enemy’s following attack.
Endless spells were thrown at them, each being devoured by your portals. You also continuously open portals to hurl attacks back at them— and so attacks are being hurled back and forth at high speeds while Mash tries to get close to Cell. The black haired boy is having a bit of difficulty doing so because of the dense amount of spells getting in his way in an attempt to block him off.
The blonde sneers at you all.
“You think an additional hand would make a difference? So long as I have this mirror, your attacks will never hit me— I'd last longer than your magic reserves”
In less than a blink of an eye, Mash was in front of the edgy man, appearing out of a portal.
“Hah! You think that'll do anyth—” The adult got interrupted as Mash casually punches him through an already broken mirror.
Cell gets thrown back against the wall.
“You talk too much.”
Everyone else but you and Mash were too stunned to speak as the boy nonchalantly destroyed a precious magical artifact that reflects magic. And that's when it clicked to them that Mash had no magic all this time— they were all in disbelief.
Cell then decided to retreat, acting like he had found and done his objective.
Well, chaos ensues as a student that formerly became a puppet gained consciousness and caught wind of mash being magicless. You immediately knock him out, not that it made much of a difference later though.
Nothing could be done as word quickly spread that Mash had no magic, subjecting him to harsh comments and criticisms. On the bright side, you weren't the hot topic anymore at least.
Mash and his friends were organizing a party of sorts, you joining them in preparing. You see, you already knew the mushroom head from a few years ago when you decided to run from your attendant again. You then wanted to give yourself a tour of the academy campus recently, and that's when you met Mash again who was with his friends at that time. That's when they gave you a tour and became your friends too.
Now back to the present. Mash's group of friends and the fangs of Magia Lupus(the mushroom head inviting them) were seated on a rectangular table as if they never had beef with each other. The boy basically conquered them with the power of friendship.
Lemon went to serve tea for everyone and Abyss started becoming a bumbling mess. Abel explained that the guy never had a normal interaction with a girl, so he calls them females instead of girls.
Then here comes you and mash carrying plates of food before settling them down on the table. Abyss just stares at you.
You notice and smile at him, “Long time no see, pretty boy~!”
Everyone looks at Abyss basically exploding in red— completely shutting down in the moment.
He already cannot interact with females, now what if a pretty one complimented him like that? He shuts down— absolutely gone from this world.
Abel found himself confused at the long haired male’s reaction, ‘long time no see’?
‘They know each other?!?!’ Everyone else thought.
So Abel turned to you to raise everyone's question.
“Well, kind of? I do owe him though.” You answer.
At that, no one questioned it further despite some still being curious about the relationship between you two.
The party was going well somewhat, Abel brought out a deck of cards and invited everyone else to play (card game name I forgot I'm sorry). Dot went up to the challenge immediately, Mash wanting to learn about how to play, and the other people present either accepted or declined.
You decided to join them after observing how to play the game. You find it funny that Dot would've managed to win a few times if it weren't for Abyss basically threatening him to lose on purpose so that Abel can win. You can barely notice how Abel’s expression twitched in slight ire at being easily handed wins .
You step in, finally getting the gist on how to play. “I'll play a few rounds, maybe I'll be able to really know how to play it then”
The circle made some space for you to sit down, coincidentally you got seated directly in front of Abyss. He avoids eye contact with you at all times.
The first round starts, you having a bad set of cards right off the bat— causing you to lose quickly. You got fired up, wanting to win even though you might get threatened with a sword to your neck.
The next round starts and you get dealt with a better hand this time, having a really great fighting chance. A few turns later, you were close to winning as only you, Abyss, and Abel were left. The light blue haired male was still avoiding your eyes but he desperately wanted to serve Abel the win.
He debated pulling out the tactics he used on Dot, but couldn't bring himself to do so. Before everyone knew it, the monopoly on the crown for winning ended as a winner that wasn't Abel reigned over the game.
You cheered.
Lemon cheered.
Mash cheered.
Dot screamed.
The three of you then decided to do a celebratory dance. “Yay~! Yay~! Yay~!”
Dot then somehow was able to rip a part of his bandages open around his mouth and protested saying how unfair it was. The redhead pointed out Abyss’ obvious bias when he did nothing to hinder your win against his dear Abel.
Then as if in a eureka moment, blurted out the first thing that came to mind.
“You're such a goddamn simp!”
Abyss stammers “H-how absurd to say that! I'm not a simp-”
“Yes you are-” Dot shuts himself up as the long haired male pulls out his sword to threaten him again.
All the while, Abel gathers the cards and starts shuffling the deck for the next round. He seemed happy despite losing.
The day passed on with everyone joining in on the different card games Abel introduced. It was an entertaining sight to see Abyss unable to do anything against you as you take the nth win. Overall, a very fun experience— one that made everything feel so normal and the long haired male can't help but to admit it was nice.

long author's note:
I first have to thank those who took time to read and tolerate my writing I honestly think I'm dogwater at it lmao
parts after this can be considered as stand-alones since this short series can be the prequel to how abyss develops his relationship with you, so feel free to request scenarios you may want to read— although I'll basically be using this series as a backbone to these requests
lastly I apologize for the people who like cell war— bro did not deserve to be called an edgelord and all the such(perhaps). also I used japanese honorifics since I find it a bit difficult to translate how people refer to each other into just words— like how finn refers to rayne as “onii-sama” as an indication of their relationship and finn looking up to rayne in respect.
Since you were born, everyone feared you for your powerful yet terrifying magic. Yes you were born with the capacity to make things get older within seconds. People used to call you Death since you were capable of making everyone and everything die quite easily. This power was very difficult to control and you always feared that one day you might kill someone without wanting it. That’s why you usually sat back and never approached others and they weren’t as easy on you either. They feared you so much that they began to bully you, calling you names, hiding your books and stuff.
So it wasn’t a surprise then you got to the academy, everyone still feared you. You were always alone in a corner doing everything that you could to not harm anyone and to have a good scholarly experience. It wasn’t also a surprise that you ended up in the Lang house, since you were born from a very powerful family and that you smelled like danger all the time. You didn’t like this house, but it wasn’t your choice. Their morals and ethics weren’t yours. Crushing the poor and the weak? Not really your thing, to be honest, you were kind and helpful, however quite erased in the background to avoid any accident.
However one day someone came to you, you felt like they weren’t fearful of you, quite the opposite in fact, more calm and serene, to your biggest surprise. You couldn’t tell who they were or what their intentions were, since they were wearing a mask hiding their face. But you felt happy to see that someone didn’t fear you and were coming to talk to you. You had learned that they were named Abyss Razor and that he was part of the Magia Lupus. His intention became clear when he asked you to join them. Still you refused his proposition you didn’t want to be part of their selective group. You expected Abyss to never talk to you again since you refused to join them. But again to your surprise he came back everyday to speak with you.
You didn’t understand why he wanted to talk with you and how he wasn't afraid of your magic, but one day Abyss explained his secret, ready to let you inside his heart. Abyss was born with an evil eye capable of suppressing any magic. He recounted his childhood and how everyone was afraid of him as they were of you. He didn’t want you to feel alone as he was, that was why he constantly came back to have a conversation with you. You couldn’t help but smile and be happy to finally find someone so kind hearted and not fearful of you.
For you his eye was far from an evil eye, it was a gift, a gift to be capable of helping people like you. Abyss was so relieved to know that you didn’t feel any repulsion. He was now the one surprised to learn that you were seeing him as an angel. Why would you? Everyone saw him as a devil. He couldn’t help but smile at the idea of you thinking of him so highly. This is when the two of you became inseparable. You two knew that you could support and count on each other.
This friendship that you got, evolved into something that you wouldn’t even have thought : romance. You trusted each other with your life and you couldn’t help but get attracted to his kindness and vice versa. He knew he was deep in it as your kindness and patience were so attractive.
In the end the two of you were the perfect match as you knew you could trust Abyss to stop you and he knew that you loved him unconditionally with or without his evil eye.
