how would the ros react to the mc having an admirer that just won’t give up? Someone that writes romantic poetry and just outright ignores or dismisses the ro?

Rook: Incredibly bold of the admirer to assume they get ignore him. The guy, slinging his arm around your shoulder and navigating his way into whatever conversation the two of you are having? No way, he's being way too annoying to ignore. Even if you're into it, Rook would do it just to fuck with you lol (and he's totally not mad about it at all if he's crushing ajsjs)

Beck: I don't really think he minds. Unless you seemed bothered by it, then he'd probably just rescue you with a brief, "Excuse me, something's come up and I need to steal them, real quick." He drags away so fast, said admirer doesn't have a chance to respond.

Rhea: Honestly, I think she would pull the "Do you know who I am?" card ajsjjd. Less because of jealousy and moreso because being point blank ignored is infuriating to her. And if you also aren't into it, the annoyance grows worse. She can't stand someone who doesn't listen to a "no."

Zoe: They don't have the confidence to do anything, if we're being honest. Being ignored makes them feel small and calls back to their youth, so they just fade into the background. If you don't like it, though, they'd pull out their calm persona and say, "Excuse me, they don't like this." Then proceed to run away sksks and the second it's just the two of you they crumble and immediately start complaining about said admirer

Lars: "You wrote this?" Lars asks, taking the written poetry said admirer was trying to hand to you, and reading it out loud. "This is shit. Have you ever even read a poem before?" Hands it back, pointedly leaves. If crushing, he also tells you you're admirer is annoying sjsjd while they're still there

???: That is a pest and they need to get them away from you. So they make you your admirer's little bad luck charm. Small little misfortunes seem to befall them whenever they approach you. The more persistent it becomes, the worse it gets. Doesn't matter if you like it or not, the voice has decided they're annoying and wants them gone either way

With My Short Existence

“I’m not so sure about this Steven.” Suddenly the valiant confidence the teenager had been sporting earlier faded to incredible uncertainty as he actually held the massive weapon in his hands. He didn’t even know if he was holding it right.

“This feels different than it did growing up watching martial arts videos.” And never having the courage to act on any of the inspiration he got from them. He turned the sword over in his hands and blew his cotton candy hair out of his eyes

“....Hey, I’m color coordinated though.” Minus his new pants.

This is extremely important, but do any of the ROs know how to shake ass? How would they be if they tried? Ngl I get the feeling none of them actually has it in them, but still

LMAO they'd all be terrible at it tbh

Rook knows how to dance decently well, but even he would look silly trying akskdk

Other then him, I think Beck is the only one who would willingly try. Zoe and Rhea would refuse on the account of being too embarrassed, Lars wouldn't even entertain the question, and The Voice would be...confused at the concept although tbh you could also convince them to try (and they'd also be horrible at it)

During crushing stage, how would the Ros react if they were caught by the MC would they (ro) were checking them (MC) out? I'm talking looking up and abrupt full-blown extremely locked in eye contact and who's killing themselves first, further changing the trajectory of the MC's life, and why is it Zoe?

Love that you called out Zoe here lol (also sorry I know this has been in the inbox since like August, easing my way back into prompt asks)

Rook: I think there's a twist of shame in his gut, the second you catch him. He normally has far more self control than this, but the more the two of you are together the harder it is it keep pretending. Maybe he can't play off his actions but he can play off the reason. "Sorry, not my fault you look good today. Why is it, you got a date?"

Beck: He meets your eyes with a smile, no shame on his face. It's clear just by looking at his face how into you he is. He's not shy at all, and depending on how you react, he's going to be honest that he was looking.

Rhea: She tries to wrench her eyes away the second the two of you make eye contact. She's quick to say something or launch into a conversation to district from what she was doing, feeling her face heat up as she curses herself for being so obvious. But she can't help but keep stealing glances at you, even now that you know she's watching.

Zoe: What the hell?? Are they doing?? They freeze the second you catch them, desperate to try to explain themselves and failing horribly. Listen, it isn't their fault that they're so bad at this. They've never been so into any one before but they'd sooner jump off a bridge than admit that out loud. Every word they manage to get out only seems to dig their grave a little deeper, however.

Lars: He knows when you catch up looking, but he still takes his time as he slowly drags his eyes back up to your face, fully drinking you in. His eyes are smoldering, and there's a challenge on his face to call him out on exactly what he's doing. If you didn't know better, by the slow grin on his face, you almost think he wanted to be caught.

???: They only look a little sheepish, but the way they look at you is far closer to admiration. They don't seem to mind being caught and if you question them, they shrug. "It's hard not to look at you, whenever we're together."

"If someone is being super annoying in his vicinity he is going to a big asshole about it anjsj" I mean, when is he NOT being a big asshole?🤨 I'm sure the wind would be blowing in a slightly inconvenient manner for him and whoever happens to be walking around him would have to pay for it. His entire being seems to just be asshole- which is something I'm sure he would be somewhat pleased with, even though it's pretty embarrassing to be a hole. And the hole of an ass at that. Smh. Just full of shit on a spiritual and biological level

(nothing against you🤚I'm sure you can tell I think he's a great character🤚 but it has to be said🤚🤚)

Lars sucks so bad and tbh he's very content with being the biggest asshole in the entire student body of Vales Grove 😌

"Lars: "You wrote this?" Lars asks, taking the written poetry said admirer was trying to hand to you, and reading it out loud. "This is shit. Have you ever even read a poem before?" Hands it back, pointedly leaves. If crushing, he also tells you you're admirer is annoying sjsjd while they're still there " it's killing me that he would do that shit without even having a crush on the MC. Like omg get OUT. Who even invited him here??😭 Just doing the most

If someone is being super annoying in his vicinity he is going to a big asshole about it anjsj

Re: sneaky kiss on the cheek. How would the ROs react if the MC actually wanted to whisper them something, but maybe the RO turned their head the wrong way or too fast or something, and instead *dramatic pause**gasp* they brushed lips?

Rook: His fingers twitch, desperate to reach out and drag you back in when you pull away with wide eyes. Barely a ghost of a touch and he so desperately wants more. But he instead leans back, a fake laugh so practiced it comes to him like breaking, "Whoops, sorry about that." He'll do his best to play it off like it didn't happen, it was an accident after all. He'll spend the rest of the day dreaming about pulling you back in to kiss you again and again.

Beck: He follows your movements without thinking when you pull away, only half registering what happened. When he sees the look on your face, he lets out a little laugh. "It's fine, it was an accident...unless you don't want it to be?" There's a glint in his eye when he says it.

Rhea: She jumps away the second she feels the touch of your lips, forcing her hand to still from reaching up and letting her fingers dance across where you kissed. This is an accident, and accidents happen, but her heart is clenching wildly in her chest, reminding her she's thought, more than once, what it would be like to kiss you. Outwardly, she clears her throat. "Apologies. What were you going to tell me?" She looks at the center spot of your forehead, hoping it seems like she's able to look you in the eyes.

Zoe: They freeze. Just blank faced, no expression, dear-in-headlights freeze. They've never even kissed someone before, how are they supposed to handle this? They know they have to say something, every second paired with the look on your face making the atmosphere more and more painfully awkward. Finally, they do their best to brush it off but it becomes jumbled words, "We kissed--I mean, it's fine. I'm fine. We're fine. It was just an accident. Uh, anyway--" And they desperately try to change the subject.

Lars: He doesn't react LMAO If you react flustered or embarrassed he only raises a brow. "That was hardly a kiss." Then, a half smile lifts the corner of his lips. "I can show you a real kiss, if you want." Despite his sarcastic tone, you know him well enough by now to know he would, in fact, actually kiss you if you gave any indication of such. He merely waits for your response.

???: They have half a mind to pull you back and kiss you for real, but they let you jerk away, knowing full well you'd done the act by accident. Still, even that barest touch made them want more, and they hope that desire isn't smoldering in their gaze as they gave a faint smile. "Don't be shy. I didn't mind it all." They stop themselves from saying they wouldn't have minded more, either, if you wished it so.

I had a funny idea for an ask. How would the ROs react to Headmaster Windsor walking in on a first kiss?

Oh my god lol

Rook: The flash of annoyance on his face is nothing close to what he's actually feeling. How many years has he waited to kiss you, only for the worst man on campus to ruin this moment for him. He draws you close to him, almost hiding you from the man's view as he candidly tells him to fuck off.

Beck: He gently pulls away and moves the both of you at an angle where the Headmaster can't see you, but you also can see the flash in his eyes. His voice is casual when he asks what it is he needs, but you can sense something lingering underneath

Rhea: Please save my girl 😭😭 she's jumping away so fast. What an absolutely terrible way to break the news to her dad that you two are into each other. She drags her dad away before he can do anything to you, immediately going into damage control

Zoe: They are mortified and there's almost a sense of shame or embarrassment at being caught in such a vulnerable moment for them. But then they realize who it is and their calm mask slips into place and they consider again how much they hate this school and everyone in it. Especially this man.

Lars: He hates this man and he is not above using magic to shove him back out the door LMAO I think in general he wouldn't put too much emphasis on his first kiss with MC, but I think he'd still he pissed

???: Are you telling me they wouldn't just straight up murder him-
