Ping:@waitlexist.
This was just supposed to be a normal day. It WAS a normal day.
Until those(coughs loudly.. Adeuce.. cough) two idiots decided to play around with the potions they brewed for their ASSIGNMENTS. Throwing the vials at eachother like water balloons while looking like utter buffoons! How did they get in his dorm?? Their grades most likely hanging on a thread at this rate.. Riddle could only pray to the sevens for them to magically pass Mr. Crewels class since these homosapiens seem think with their—
"Housewarden riddle! Watch out!" Riddle didn't even get a chance to dodge or even use magic to save his lucky stars before a vial was thrown at him at what speeds that could potentially be classified as faster than light itself. Potion spilled all over him, staining his pristine uniform that he took AGES to perfect!
was the world shrinking..?
"Holy smokes—" Ace had his jaw agape because clearly—that furball infront of them was DEFINITELY not their housewarden.. Right? "Uhhh.. Ace?? What do we do??" Deuce looked at ace then ace looked at him. "I dunno?? Ask riddle on how to turn him back???" He pointed towards the cat. Sadly, riddle could only speak in indecipherable meows and cries—sending poor adeuce in distress(let's pretend the translation system isn't here rn for them, ok?)
"Meow meow meow meow meow!!!" Translating for you, dear reader.... (YOU TWO BETTER CLEAN UP YOUR MESS!!!)
"Gang, we are SO cooked." Deuce curled up into a ball at Ace's words "What if we get kicked out from heartslabyul if we don't find a cure??? Are my dreams of being an honor student crushed??" Deuce rocked back and forth like a mental patient "What if we just... Pretend riddle died?" Riddle hissed at Ace, was Ace really asking for his head to roll?? If so, riddle would gladly make it roll.
"Ace.. I think that's a bad idea." Deuce answered the obvious "Well, let's just dash to Mr. Crewel for a cure, so come on!" Ace dragged deuce with him while riddle could only watch... "A duo of fools.." he thought.
With no leads on how to get him out of this mess and having nothing else to do, he might as well take a stroll(or should I say.. A CATWALK? AHAHHAHAHAHAH GET IT??not funny? Ok...) on school grounds, yes?
His now, new cat body, felt really weird to him. Walking on all fours like this? Yeah, pretty strange for a full time human. And surprisingly, the worst part for him was that his shoes were gone. (Because it somehow magically disappeared) Such a degrading experience makes a grimace shake through his entire body. He could only drown in his misery and lack of shoes..
He reaches a particularly sunny spot at ramshackle, the greenery was in spotless condition. He didn't know that the prefect had a green thumb!(Thought it couldn't compare with heartslabyul's flower bed)What a nice surprise.
And that cobblestone pavement looks.. oddly comfortable. Surely, the prefect wouldn't mind if he could just.. lay down on it for a little while, right?
He lays down on the warmed pavement, feeling the heat seep into his soul. Normally, as a human—he would consider this outrageous behavior and a lack of manners, but now, he isn't one—is he? So it's perfectly fine for him to rest on the cobble ground as a cat. (According to his logic)
Haa.. The sun really felt good on his.. Fur. How long has it been since he's been out in the sun for a bit? Maybe—9 years ago while he was sitting out in the sun with chenya and Trey, laughing with strange people that lured him out of his house. But this time, he doesn't get dragged back home.
He blinks and suddenly he's falling asleep—his senses fading away from the real world while slumber takes him in a slow pace.
Until, something charges straight at him.

Sitting on your cushioned seat in ramshackle—a cup of warm tea accompanied you and stirred while Grim served as background noise. Like a record on repeat. The sky outside casted hues of blue as the sun shines on the clouds overhead. It was beautiful, as always. It reminds you of the days back in your home world where you would lay down on the grass and mindlessly blow bubbles.
It was one of the things you missed. Sometimes, you wish you could go back to your world and just melt all your worries away. Like the fizz that bubbles up in soda pop.
You turn to grim for a brief second, seeing him chase a toy mouse you bought for a gag. It's funny, seeing a beast chase around a toy like a regular cat. You chuckled at the thought but you decided to aim your attention back towards your window instead.
You look out of ramshackle's outdated windows again, seeing various kinds of greenery and vegetation that you tended to, bloom in radiance. You were proud of your work—obviously. But one particular thing caught your eye.
It was a ball of.. red fluff on the ground? Wait—no, there's ears poking out of it.
Is that what you think it is?
A kitty cat! Its fur looks so soft and fluffy! It's ears are so floppy! Your heart squeezed at the sight. Various alternate thoughts of "What's a cutie like that doing here??" Ran through your mind. Could it possibly abandoned? But who would abandon a kitty like that? And also.. it looks quite well groomed. Hmm, maybe one of Mr. Trein's cat's?
You'll ask Mr. Trein if it's his cat...After you finish playing with it!
You rushed to ramshackle's front door, grabbing your coat. You would have jumped out of the window but considering that in this economy, paying your own medical bills without the help of Crowley, wasn't possible for you and for the fact Crowley barely even pays you enough to replace a broken window..(fuck ass bum💔)
The door flew open, blinding your eyes in the process.
Ah.
You forgot that you haven't been outside of ramshackle for the whole day and now your eyes are used to the dark. Great.
You rub your eyes in pain. "Owowowow!" Even with your eyes closed, the blinding light still carved itself beneath your eyelids. Curse the sun and all it's worth for.
Well, there's still a kitty that would make it feel better!
With your will to live, you push yourself back right up and charge straight for the cat. Scooping it up in your arms and bringing it into ramshackle.

Riddle's head was spinning! You, his crush, was fawning over him?? Well, not him specifically—his cat form. But still! Was the prefect really like this with cats? Maybe he should walk into rooms more often and get splashed with a potion.. Wait, no! This was improper thinking and highly unethical! He knew better than to act so shamelessly.
Oh how he wishes he could be able to tell you...
You wave the toy infront of his face. He paid attention to his paws. Such toys were frivolous to him as he was of human mind. Instead looking at the appealing state his paws were in after your care. It would make sense that you knew how to groom a cat, you have grim afterall! Color him impressed. He should ask you to help him with taking care of the hedgehogs. It would make a nice date—i mean.. uhhh.. He quickly brushes that aside before anymore thoughts swirl in his head.
He's read the dating manual 101 given to him by cater.. He can do this—ask you out when he's a human..
He could feel grim fill the room with a thick cloud of jealousy. Brrrrr! Sure is getting icy cold in here with the way the beast burnt holes on his back.
Should he do something? He SHOULD do something—

Ace and deuce were tearing the whole campus up, looking for Mr. Crewel or any sort of adviser! They can push aside the fact that they might fail in potionology.. They just need to revert their dorm leader back to normal before someone comes looking for him!(And before you genuinely slime the shit out of them)
"Deuce! That's the wrong direction!" Whoops. Turns out deuce slammed into a wall. The stinging sensation flew throughout his form, his limbs twitching like a roach's.
"Gah! Who put that wall there??" Deuce scratched his head.
"It's always been there, idiot!" Ace flicked deuce's forehead, causing deuce to grumble a very unmanly grumble
"Haha! You sound like a girl when you sulk!" Deuce mentally prepared himself for one of Ace's jabs at him, getting ready with his own witty honor-student like come backs
"But it's kinda cute." ...
WHAT.
Was this gay?? Were they GAY for eachother??? Well, love is love as they say and deuce certainly might love ace as much as ace loves him.
"Dude.. Is this romance?" Deuce was bewildered, was Ace really a fruit?? Not that he minds.. of course. (GAY🫵🫵🫵🫵)
"No way dude! It's bromance!" Ace puffed up his chest.
"... Shouldn't we get that potion for riddle?" Deuce changed the subject.
"Oh yeaaahhhhh..! Yup. Now,.let's scram!" Ace pulled deuce up and rode off into sevens knows where.
---
Oh Sevens, he was on your LAP now. Scratching behind his ear and cooing at him were doing things to him.. His stomach might be just one of twisted wonderland's best gymnasts with the the way it flips and turns when you softly praise him for being a "good boy"
You softly press your lips against his forehead, it was doing things to him that he wished it wasn't. His little antennas stood straight while a warm feeling in his stomach started to blossom...
Please, someone release him from this public humiliation. (Actually,.don't save him. He's perfectly fine.)
Sadly Fortunately, Ace and Deuce listened to his prayers.
They bust through ramshackle's door simultaneously, clearly out of breath as Deuce held onto the door frame for support.
"PREFECT. UNHAND THE CAT RIGHT NOW." Ace shakily points at the unsuspecting creature that you considered to be a cat(when it's actually riddle)
"What? Why? Do you know his owner?".you tilted your head, unaware of your own situation.
"No! the fact is—" ace gets interrupted by deuce.
"THE CAT DOESN'T HAVE AN OWNER BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY RIDDLE!!" Deuce blurted out.
"Geez, did you really have to interrupt me?" Ace remarked. "But yeah, what he's saying IS true! Sooo...." Ace twiddled with his fingers.
If only riddle could speak, he would say "Don't twiddle your fingers!"
"Uh—catch!" Ace threw a vial containing some sort green liquid concoction at the cat on your lap. And then, poof! Riddle's human form appeared on your lap, arms 'round your neck like an intimate scene. You, of course, turned a very vibrant shade of red like any sane person would if they had someone sitting on their lap so intimately. Riddle can't say he was any different either, steam coming out his ears while he was scoring his own shade of red, possibly even brighter than yours.
He scooted off your lap that instant and brushed himself off. Once he regained his composure and his face wasn't steaming red anymore, he bowed down—sending a side cast to the boys on his right. If his glares could talk, they would have already commanded them to follow. Chills ran through their spines and they immediately bowed down like puppets to their master's whim. He apologized sincerely and he offered to make it up to you. Surely, he shouldn't just leave you all embarassed like this, right?
And the next day later, you found a very large bouquet of red roses on fire(the fire is an illusion by practical magic dw guys he wouldn't burn u into a crisp) at your doorstep, signed by riddle.
...
Oh, you thought adeuce would be getting their ass fried back at heartslabyul? Surprisingly, you thought wrong! Riddle let them off just this once and even offered to help them with their potionology project! Yipee! But their housewarden's face was unusually red and it wasn't because of anger... Hmmmm... Even to this day, it remains a mystery for the two homosexuals.
Fun fact:Red roses symbolize romance and passion, when it's set ablaze—it resembles deep desire!💞
