Hi!! Could I request headcanons of Floyd, Jade, Lilia, Leona and Ace after their crush (who also has a crush on them) kisses them on the cheek in gratitude after the boys did something for her? (U can decide whatever it is that they did for her)
𐙚 Ace Trappola
"Yeah, yeah, it's not a big deal. I mean, that was pretty easy for me, so..." He keeps repeating, insisting it's nothing, even though both of you know very damn well Ace Trappola is not someone who helps others for no reason, not at all.
And even if that wasn't common knowledge among people who know him, is there any way to ignore that... uncharacteristic humility of his, while he's being thanked? You swear that every other time he's done something for another person, he'd just brag whenever they thank him.
While he did help you carry those books specifically hoping to get your attention, now that he actually has it, it does make him feel a bit flustered. It wasn't a big deal, really, he keeps repeating. With every word he speaks, he feels himself falter more— Until you lean in to kiss his cheek, and his mind goes completely, entirely silent.
You blush. He blushes. You say another quick "thank you!" before you take off, he mumbles a "you're welcome". Ace touches his cheek in a moment of disbelief, both embarrassment and pride overwhelming him at the same time. Did that seriously happen? Maybe he should find more excuses to help you...
𐙚 Leona Kingscholar
"...Right, you're welcome. It was just a coincidence. Don't get used to that." His expression barely shifts, but he averts his eyes as you smile and thank him. Of course he just happened to run into that notebook you've been complaining about losing, he wouldn't waste his time looking for it or anything like that...
But his story doesn't line up, does it? How would he have found it at that one specific corner in the library if he didn't look for it. Leona never even goes to the library— When you mention it, it comes out more blunt than you intended.
...And it seems to annoy him, his ears going flat against his head as he frowns. But he doesn't argue for a moment, nor does he leave. You, definitely used to this routine by now, give in to the impulse to lean in and press a quick kiss to his cheek. Leona's eyes widen, ears immediately perking up again.
He, of course, doesn't want to admit just how much it flustered him. You offer another thank you as you take off with your notebook, he grumbles something that you barely hear. This scene will definitely replay in his mind a lot after that — Not that he'll ever let you know, of course.
𐙚 Jade Leech
"My, I didn't expect you to be so grateful. You know you can call for me whenever you need, don't you?" He mantains his usual demeanor, smiling politely as you offer him your thanks. Jade will be humble about it. He's just helping a friend in need, it was a happy coincidence that the subject you needed help with was his best one...
And he does mean those things, to some extent. He is happy to help, it was a happy coincidence. The only thing he's not telling you is how much attention he's been paying to you, watching and waiting for opportunities for him to step in like that. Seeing how you react to it is always a delight to him.
Jade makes a joke about you being indebted to him now. A lighthearted comment as carefully planned as everything else he says to you. Since you’ve been spending time together for some time now, so it should be clear it’s not some Octavinelle business thing… As careful as Jade was with his comment, however, he still couldn’t possibly account for what your reaction would be.
You don’t know how the idea came to you, or how you got the courage to just do it, but you do— Standing on your tiptoes, you press a kiss to his cheek, muttering that you two are even now. Jade’s surprise at your action might be easy to miss, his eyes barely widen before he leans down to kiss your cheek too. Well, aren't you clever, trying to get out of your debt like that...
𐙚 Floyd Leech
Floyd beams at you in pride as you thank him, more than satisfied with your reaction. It's exactly what he was going for. "Heehee, wasn't I cool, Shrimpy? Nobody can do that as good as me, yanno..." He leans even closer than usual as he talks, his eyes all sparkly.
He's always made it known that he likes you. Lingering around whenever he sees you, pestering you to do things with him, always seeming extra happy-go-lucky when he's with you. Maybe he even drops an "I like you, Shrimpy" every now and then, so straightforward it's honestly hard to believe it is what it really is.
Does his sudden enthusiasm to help you clean make it more or less believable that he likes you that way? That's for you to decide. There's no way to be unaware of how affectionate Floyd is towards you, though — Maybe that's what gives you the sudden urge to kiss his cheek. He's already leaning down to talk to you, it's just so easy to do it...
Floyd is the one person who might just escalate that into kissing you on the lips. The idea just instantly comes to his mind. When you pull away, flustered at your action, he looks at you almost like he's starstruck. His heart rate feeling like it's going through the roof from excitement, it's all a matter of whether you step away too fast for him to pull you closer or not.
𐙚 Lilia Vanrouge
"Fufu, it's no issue, it didn't even take too long. Hmm, maybe I'll even do it more often, if it makes you so happy..." The smile Lilia gives you is warm, something you've gotten used to, but it also has a certain slyness to it — an intentional sort of feeling.
Something like that isn't really unusual with him, really. Maybe you can't exactly tell in which way he's interested in you, but he's definitely been putting in the effort to show that he is interested in you. And that includes taking every possible opportunity to be in your company.
...He truly didn't expect you to be so happy over him helping you move furniture in your dorm, though. Of course, it's definitely not a bad thing at all. Even though it felt like such a miniscule thing to him, Lilia's still letting himself really bask in your gratitude, fondly replaying every moment where your eyes went wide with surprise at how strong he is...
You press a quick kiss to his cheek as you thank him, and his expression doesn't exactly falter — Maybe because he was hoping something like that would happen — but you do see a hint of a blush on his face. His smile widens, he considers returning the gesture, leaning in closer... But ultimately, his urge to tease wins, and he steps back with a "you're welcome", though the idea doesn't leave his mind for quite some time.

this is corny so you don’t have to answer the req if you don’t want to, how do u think dorm leaders would react if the only girl in night raven college ended up in their dorm?
𐙚 Riddle Rosehearts
Well, he's definitely not spoken to a lot of girls around his age range... if he's even spoken to any of them at all. That's the main obstacle, in Riddle's case. He just feels like he doesn't know how he should talk to you.
He does have enough common sense to know he shouldn't treat you differently because of your gender. Obviously. So he's not going easier on you with the rules or anything like that— he'll still scold as harshly as he'd scold any rule breaking guy...
...That's what he tells himself, at least. In practice, it's still true, but he can't help but second guess if what he's doing is really okay, at least while he's still getting used to you.
Luckily, Heartslabyul students are, in general, pretty sociable people, so you actually manage to get along with your dormmates rather quickly. It's just Riddle that trips on his words every now and then.
𐙚 Leona Kingscholar
Honestly, he's not thrilled about it. But it has nothing to do with you personally, and everything to do with how he just knows some of the guys in the dorm might get a little too excited about it, and he'll have to actually put effort into making sure they behave.
It's not like they're creepy or disrespectful or anything. Even your most obnoxious dormmates will, at most, just be really awkward around you — It's just the right thing, in Leona's mind, to avoid having you end up in these weird situations.
With the large amount of beastmen in the dorm, though, it's more likely that they'd get too nervous to even do that. They don't play around when it comes to respecting women. If anyone even dared to think about going against that, they'd be very, very quickly outcast.
But besides that, you're just another member of the dorm, to him. He'll at most complain about the dorm getting attention just because there's a girl in it and nothing more. You're still getting the "Herbivore" nickname if he finds it applicable.
𐙚 Azul Ashengrotto
You don't see any of it, but he's ripping out his hair over the whole thing. And it honestly doesn't even have anything to do with you — It's just that it's all so sudden? Your acceptance into NRC, and into Octavinelle, will definitely attract some attention, and he wasn't given any time to prepare for it...
He definitely does his best to make it look like he wasn't taken completely off guard, though. You're welcomed into Octavinelle with a big smile from him, telling you how honored he is to have you in the dorm— And it's not a lie, really, he is glad to have you, he's just stressed out.
Azul is fairly decent at helping you get settled into the dorm, despite that. He'll ask for your thoughts on the room sharing situation on your very first day, and make sure you come to an agreement on the matter as soon as possible.
𐙚 Kalim Al-Asim
Honestly really happy to have you. NRC turning co-ed is a big deal, after all! It means a lot that his dorm gets to be the one to house the first girl to attend the school.
Kalim was planning to have a big welcoming party at the start of the school year anyway, but since it seems it'll be an extra special one, he'll change his plans accordingly. He might end up going a bit overboard, but it's better to do too much than too little, right?
After the initial fanfare, though, he'll also default to treating you like any other Scarabia student. Which doesn't mean he's any less friendly or warm, it's just that he shows the same amount of interest towards any new student.
He worries a little about you feeling out of a place, though. He's heard from the girls he knows that it can be lonely to be in a space that's all guys, and he doesn't want you to feel othered like that! Maybe he'll talk to Crowley about letting more girls transfer, or something. Or at least introduce you to his other friends, if you want.
𐙚 Vil Schoenheit
Honestly, he's a little stressed out. Mostly for the same reason that would make Kalim so happy and proud — NRC turning co-ed is a big deal, his dorm is the first one to house a female student, expectations are higher than usual.
He lectures the other students on what not to do on the first day, and personally talks to you to ask if there's anything you'd like to be done to the dorm to make you more comfortable. He's mostly thinking about things like whether you'd prefer to not have roommates and such, but he's pretty open to any request as long as it's reasonable.
Honestly, Pomefiore might objectively be the best dorm to end up in, in this case. The push for students to be open minded and respectful is real. Anyone who's too biased and unwilling to change just gets filtered out.
𐙚 Idia Shroud
People start whispering about it the second the news come out —Ignihyde is like a lair for awkward people, their leader himself barely attends class in person. Having the first female student of NRC join in surely will make everyone there lose their minds, right?
And, yeah, people do get anxious, sure. But Ignihyde's image as this safe haven for the socially awkward also means, to their members, that they can be at ease around each other. And you are one of them now, so...
You don't really talk to Idia directly, but that's just because nobody does. He sends Ortho to ask you if you'd like a room to yourself, or anything else, really— He avoids mentioning anything specific because he doesn't want to sound weird, but he'll make sure you have whatever you need.
Your dormmates warm up to you pretty fast too. They're shy, and a good amount of them probably never really talks to any girls, but you're still one of them, above everything else. Gender doesn't matter as much after the initial feeling of surprise is gone.
𐙚 Malleus Draconia
Malleus isn't that stressed out about it, honestly. He knows it's a big deal for the school as a whole, but to him, it's just something that should have been done a long time ago. It's not like restricting student genders was helping anybody learn magic.
He's a bit puzzled when Lilia asks him about possibly taking measures to make you feel more comfortable. He has no issue with taking them, of course, he just doesn't think about them right away? It won't occur to him that you might prefer having a room to yourself, for example.
Because of Diasomnia's reputation, you're sort of shielded from most unwanted attention from the rest of the school, and your dormmates themselves are pretty much all polite people who keep to themselves. It's very peaceful in there, really.
Overall it's just not a big deal to Malleus himself. He'll be curious about how you feel being the only girl in the school, sometimes, but he won't ask unless you haven't shown interest in speaking to him first.

Hello. I was wondering if I can please request the Savannaclaw boys reacting to accidentally walking in on fem!reader changing in Ramshackle? Knowing how much beastmen respect/fear women I feel like that would be hilarious 😆
IVE BEEN WANTING TO DO THIS ONE FOR A WHILE…. my women respecting kings..
𐙚 Leona Kingscholar
If you’ve known Leona for any amount of time, especially enough time for him to be visiting you for whatever reason, you know that he’s pretty much allergic to actually saying sorry. So the weirdly meek ”My bad, should’ve knocked. that he mutters can be very surprising to hear.
Even if you’re really close and comfortable with each other, he won’t be much more laid back about it. Sorry allergy be damned, he’s still apologizing and looking away every single time. Unless you actually stated, in straightforward words, that you don’t care if he walks in on you. He’d probably still close the door even in that case, honestly.
Even if you tease him for how quickly he puts aside his pride for this specific situation, Leona won’t argue against it. At most he’ll reply back with a snarky ”What, was I supposed to just stay and gawk?”, like the sheer idea of doing that is insane to him. And it genuinely is. If he notices you’re embarrassed yourself, right when he closes the door, he’ll quickly and plainly assure that he didn’t see anything. It may or may not be true, he has pretty sharp eyes, but— Really, he wasn’t raised in a barn. Leona does, in fact, have quite a few lines he won’t cross when teasing people.
𐙚 Ruggie Bucchi
With Ruggie, it doesn’t matter if you’re his friend, his girlfriend, or just an acquaintance. He will immediately turn away and shut the door. Whatever the reason was for his visit can wait, no matter what it is. ”Eek, sorry, I’ll wait outside! Uhm, and I won’t forget to knock next time!” He says, his pitch uncharacteristically high.
It’s not like he’s shy or scared you’ll get really mad or anything like that? He knows very well it’s not a big deal, it was an accident and he genuinely didn’t even look. Turning away instantly is just the right thing to do, in his mind. It’s probably not even the first time he walks in on a girl while she changes, considering he has his fair share of friends back home.
He apologizes again when you’re done, even bowing his head as he speaks, and promises he didn’t look at all if you seem embarrassed. And he really didn’t— Instinct just kicks in the second his brain registers the presence of bare skin. Literally right in the millisecond that it detected an unusual amount of whatever color your skin is.
Pretty much goes back to his usual self after everything is settled. Again, it’s just the right thing to do, to him. The natural thing to do even. You could try to express you don’t mind him seeing you, but regardless of what your reasoning is, Ruggie just shrugs and says, a bit awkwardly, that he just can’t bring himself to do that. It’s straight up not an option.
𐙚 Jack Howl
Gets flustered like he’s making up for Leona and Ruggie’s lack of real embarrassment— ”C-Close the door properly next time! He stutters, covering his face that grows increasingly red as he fumbles with the doorknob to close it, almost tripping on his feet.
He doesn’t react as fast as Leona or Ruggie, but just because he doesn’t really notice visuals as quickly as they do. So even though he’s technically the only one who lingered around the door, it’s unlikely he actually stared, even unintentionally.
He’s stuck between wanting to chide you for forgetting the lock and knowing deep in his soul that he should absolutely not do that, he was the one who showed up earlier than he was supposed to, he’s the one in the wrong here. In the end he doesn’t really say anything while he waits for you to finish getting dressed. Maybe just a mumbled apology or two, depending on how you reacted.
Can’t really look you in the eyes for a few hours. He just feels bad about it, like he’s been really rude to you by accident. Compared to the culture of other beastmen subspecies, especially Ruggie and Leona’s, his doesn’t emphasize a respect for women specifically as much, but it’s definitely still a thing. And it’s just part of his character too, underneath that tough guy persona, he doesn’t want to disrespect anybody. It takes him some reassurance to stop feeling guilty.

Hello! This is my first request on here, so just to for warn you I tend to ramble, but I was wondering if you could headcannons of the housewarden boys having a fem s/o that has a phobia of bugs? Like their s/o cannot touch a bug to save her life and if one is in the room she immediately goes to them for protection. (What would make it better is if she could handle literally everything else like Malleus in his dragon form)
𐙚 Riddle Rosehearts
Honestly, at this point, Riddle admires you far too much for his mind to be changed. You could scream and cry about any little ant and the way he sees you srill wouldn’t change.
"Where is it? I'll deal with it." He says, simple as that, before he charges into the fray. He won't say it out loud, but the fact you're relying on him — Even for something so small — does make him feel proud of himself, in a way.
That feeling, however, will not last very long if he learns the thing can fly. It'll make him straight up jump and stumble on his feet the first time, and then the one after that, and the one after that, and the one after that...
𐙚 Leona Kingscholar
Clicks his tongue, crossing his arms as he rolls his eyes. "Really, Herbivore? All that over a little bug?" He pokes fun at you at first, but drops it soon enough. It's not as amusing when he realizes you're actually scared of it.
It's not that it bothers him, it's just surprising? But at the same time, it's not. Of course you'd have some type of fear, every living being does, and being afraid of bugs is... pretty common by itself. It's just that he wasn't expecting that.
Leona always handles the bugs with very little fuss, though. He'll always make a snarky comment or two, because of course he will, but every time he says it, he's already on his way to deal with it.
𐙚 Azul Ashengrotto
Doesn’t like them either. He won't scream if he sees one — especially not in front of you — but he won't jump at the opportunity to kill it either.
"Where is it? There? ...Oh, gross." He frowns without really meaning to, and hopes you didn't hear his grumbling as he readies the can of bug spray. It's the one thing you really rely on him for, he can't have you thinking you can't trust him to do that!
And if the bugs have been showing up anywhere in the Lounge, or even a little too close to it, he will be hiring some sort of pest control service. It'll be good to prevent future issues with clients, and for your peace of mind. So it's a win-win.
𐙚 Kalim Al-Asim
Like Riddle, Kalim does genuinely admire you, and the way he sees you won't be changed just because of a common, relatively understandable fear that you have. All he thinks is oh, finally, something he can actually help you with!
Kalim is actually fairly good at dealing with bugs. Jamil has been afraid of them for as long as he can remember, so he's pretty much mastered it by now. The second he sees a bug, he's already on it, there's no need for you to even ask.
"Don't worry, I'm right here!" He announces proudly every time, smiling brightly at you as he swiftly leads the bug into a jar to let it out. It genuinely makes him feel like your knight in shining armor. He'll be straight up delighted to deal with the bugs for you every time, no matter what.
𐙚 Vil Schoenheit
Doesn't exactly share the phobia, but he's also kind of generally squeamish, so he might as well kind of share it. For him, it's more about what the presence of the bug implies. Surely there wouldn't be any if the place was clean?
If Rook is nearby when the bug is spotted — Which is most of the time you two are anywhere in public — he's the one who'll be dealing with it. "I don't know if it's dangerous and he definitely does, so." Is Vil's excuse for it, but you can kind of tell he just doesn't want to touch it.
His disgust aside, though, Vil will still step up to get rid of them if he has to. Maybe through magic, maybe through whacking it with the nearest object. It's a small price to pay for your comfort! ...Though, if it's happening anywhere near his dorm, he'll want to look into ways to prevent it. His dormmates will be hearing from him about the bugs.
𐙚 Idia Shroud
He hates them almost as much as you do. Almost. Idia isn't actually afraid of the bugs themselves, but he's so jumpy, and the things always sneak up on you...
"Eek! I-Itflies?! I'll... I'll ask Ortho, don’t worry!" Idia says, trying not to come off like he's as uneasy as he really feels. He swears he's not scared of them, they just startle him! Not that there's anything bad about being scared of bugs, of course...!
Ortho always deals with the "problem" quickly, but it leaves a sort of bitter taste in Idia's mouth. You, out of all people, come to him for help, and he can't even bring himself to do it with his own two hands— You can, of course, expect some type of bug-eliminating device to be made in your honor, within the next few days.
𐙚 Malleus Draconia
Out of all the dorm leaders, Malleus is probably the one who gets the most surprised by it — He knows it's a common phobia, and he definitely knows that any kind of person can have any phobia, but it still makes him blink for a moment when he sees it in action.
You rushing to him for help wakes him up from that state, reminding him to act before he even says anything. The bug is poofed away with barely a wave of his hand, turned into a flower or whatever other spell he could think of in such a short notice...
In general, he's always quick with handling them. His skills with magic really do come in handy in these moment —Because the sort of fascination he feels towards seeing this different side of you never leaves. He doesn’t look down on you, not at all! It just makes him feel closer to you, somehow… And he definitely does appreciate how you trust him to help you in those situations, small as they might seem… Maybe one day he’ll figure out how to properly tell you about that.

What about Jade, Leona, Jamil and Vil with a S/O that somebody tried to love potion?
…warning for minor book/chapter 4 spoilers in the jamil one? in case anyone is a newcomer here. there was just No way i could write this without mentioning his lore. like. come on
𐙚 Leona Kingscholar
Honestly, it’d take anyone some serious guts to try to do this. Or serious ignorance. Or straight up hubris, or maybe all of the above at the same time— Since your first few friendlier hangouts with Leona, it was pretty much known to most people who knew you that you were completely off-limits. Even if you just stayed friends, no sane person was going to mess with anyone who’s close to him. It’s almost an unspoken, pretty much school wide rule.
It was an especially bad choice for that perpetrator to try to slip you the potion during lunchtime. Maybe they’re a classmate you barely know, maybe they pretend to be a friend, it’d definitely have to be someone who could get away with approaching you to pretend to want some casual conversation. This privilege was soon to end, however, since you had agreed with Leona to meet up with him at the greenhouse after you ate.
The second you step inside, he can smell that something is off. By then you can already feel it starting to take effect, your head feeling foggy and suddenly occupied with thoughts of that person, which just feels confusing for now. You walk up to him, he’s sitting up with a frown on his face, asking you to come closer. Hazy, you step forward, and through your clouded vision you see him leaning in to smell you. It feels weird at the moment, you’re not sure if you’re comfortable with this— Even though that’s your boyfriend, you think, maybe you’d rather be this close with someone else…
He can’t tell it’s a love potion exactly, at least not just by smelling you, but he knows something is off. “Have you been up to anything weird lately, Herbivore?” He asks, his voice full of suspicion. You just shake your head, mention your classes today were all unremarkable, then so was lunch, you just met up with your friend, while you were eating. Somehow you can’t stop yourself from letting the subject linger on them, even though it puzzles you on the inside. He quickly picks up on what must have happened.
Really, anyone who even considers trying this has some nerve. He even says that out loud to them, after dragging you out of the greenhouse into a hunt for this specific person. You won’t even get the chance to remember much about the incident. Next thing you know, you’re in one of the potions lab, with an emptied vial of antidote in your hands. Leona is standing next to you with crossed arms and a death glare, and your “friend” is shaking behind a cauldron, having prepared that in record time. Even if notice of the incident spreads, Leona definitely won’t want you to leave his side anytime soon…
𐙚 Jade Leech
Another case in which attempting anything with you is definitely a feat of courage. Even though there’s a higher chance they wouldn’t know you’re dating Jade in the first place, because of how private he is, he’s clearly fond of you. And that’s without even taking into consideration how often he’s around. Jade doesn’t have the sort of infamy Leona dows, but it’s not any less intimidating of a situation, anyone with eyes can tell he’s watching every person around him very closely…
They’d really have to get lucky to get you to consume even a single drop of anything. They might have even tried multiple times, in multiple different ways. Spiking your food or drink is not an option at all with him, because he’s sitting with you while you eat, and who would want to take that chance? If they got you, it was probably by offering you an “extra drink they got from the vending machine”, which might as well have been attempted before, with Jade successfully distracting you from the drink every time.
”My, how kind of you. I’ve heard that soda is very popular, is that true?” Somehow, he shows up just in time to strike up conversation with the person, placing a hand on the can they tampered with. ”I don’t recall seeing this brand back home. Would you mind if I had a small sip first?” He looks at them, then at you, with a strange menacing smile. Once again, that person is taking the can back and stammering excuses that make less and less sense as time passes…
If they’re brave/stupid enough, and you’re oblivious enough, Jade will just sneakily make himself your bodyguard, ready to catch any new attempts and stop them right before you could get the spiked drink anywhere near your lips. He’ll do it as many times as he has to— And if it goes on for long enough, and one day they decide to not take their little trap back, he will literally just open it and drink the whole thing. He’ll do it while making eye contact with them, even. “Oh, I’m sorry, my hand slipped. It’s really unfortunate when that happens, isn’t it? It’s very easy to forget, since most of the time it doesn’t cause any harm… But the wrong ‘slip’ could really cost you your hand, you know… It’s important to be careful.” He doesn’t look away from them for even one second.
You’re confused as hell, Jade is weird a lot of the time, but just what’s going on right now? He hands them back the can, and just waves his hand at your question, telling you he’ll explain on the way as he walks off to get some antidote. From the nurse, specifically. And it’s not because he can’t make his own, because he could probably do it before the dizziness even hit— It’s to get your little “friend” in trouble with the staff, he’ll even play up the symptoms to make sure they get a nasty suspension… Even if they’re not expelled, you somehow never see them again.
𐙚 Jamil Viper
Not happening. At all. You have no “off limits” fame, no one knows you’re dating (Upon Jamil’s own request) and even if they did, they wouldn’t be that intimidated to try to make a move on you normally. He’s too busy to be lingering around you too much, plus he just wants you to have your own independence in general… everything is seemingly stacked in the favor of that person who wants to slip you the potion, but it’s nowhere near enough to get past Jamil. It just could never be.
…So you’d think it’d be easy for someone to catch you off guard, try to slip something in your food or drink. But there’s just no way that potion isn’t even making it into the vial. Really, with the upbringing Jamil had, could any fellow teenager manage to fly under his radar when trying to tamper with your things? Not a chance. He’s learned to spot real, professional assassins going after Kalim. Catching on to some other student’s creepy behavior is nothing to him.
He knew it before he even heard that person’s name, or saw them talk to you with his own eyes. It just takes a few conversations about this weird classmate of yours who you started suspecting might like you for him to be able to tell they don’t have good intentions. ”...I know I might sound paranoid, but I think you should be careful around them.” Is all he says, when you two talk about it the first time. You know him well enough to be aware of how serious that warning is.
Nothing is said after that, but he’s watching them closely too. You don’t eat lunch together that often, but Jamil always watches your table from afar when he’s not there. At first it’s just out of habit, but now that he’s got an eye on this person, their every move has your full attention. And it’s all just too familiar, the way they seem to also watch your table, or more specifically, watch you while you eat. He can even sense their frustration at how guarded you’ve gotten since his warning.
You’ll never even hear about a possible poisoning attempt because he catches them in the middle of their potion brewing— With a good chance he wasn’t even trying to do that. He just happened to spot them acting weird in the hallways, and decided to investigate. Following them to the laboratory, standing outside of the door to see what’s happening, maybe take a video or two. He then walks inside, no notable expression on his face, and speaks to them. ”I wouldn’t do this if I were you. Even making this potion outside of class could get you in serious trouble.” Nothing else is said, he shows them the video on his phone screen, and walks off. Next thing you hear, they got suspended, an when they come back, they won’t even dare to meet your eyes.
𐙚 Vil Schoenheit
The day you two agreed you’d make your relationship official, you also had a very long talk about the things that it might entail—The worries had been stewing in his mind for a while now, at first regarding his own reputation, but eventually they turned their focus to you. He’s had people interacting strangely with people who were just his dormmates, so one could only wonder how they’d treat someone they suspect is his partner…You’re warned at the very start that it’s a good idea to be cautious of others. But because it’s Vil, and he has all those vocal, sometimes fanatic admirers that are seemingly just everywhere, it can be kind of sadly easy to forget that this type of person could fixate on you too.
It becomes a bit of a dilemma for him, when he hears about this classmate of yours you’ve been talking to occasionally. On one hand, of course he wants you to have friends, he’s not crazy. On the other, he already has a weird feeling from the interactions you describe. Then under all his common sense, he just feels sort of jealous in general. You might notice he suddenly looks alarmed, and he might even remind you it’s important to be careful with others. But even if you take it to heart, would you really outright assume they were planning anything so creepy?
It’s a thankful coincidence that dating Vil also means learning a lot about potions. You often sit around in the Pomefiore dorm laboratory while he’s doing something, and he’s happy to explain the process to you however many times you need. Ironically, the specific subject of attempted love potion slips might come up. It happens to celebrities often, after all, it’s not crazy to think someone would try to get to him— ”They teach you to not eat or drink anything a fan gives you. You accept it if they’re handing it out, but you don’t touch it. And it’s not just for the sake of keeping up with your diet.” He retells you what he was taught. ”You don’t even donate it, since it could be tampered with. Usually, there are tells, but not always…”
Then question becomes, how skilled could another student get, specifically when compared to how observant you can be? It could go either way here. It’s easy to be alarmed by anyone offering you snacks or drinks after Vil tells you these stories, but you’re not a celebrity, so would that really happen to you? What if you’re just forgetful, or they really manage to get you at a moment when you’re vulnerable? Luckily, no matter how sneaky someone is, they can’t hide the effects of the potion forever. On the color of your drink, the smell, the taste… or, in a worst case scenario, in the way it feels when it starts to kick in.
You’ll know something is wrong, and he’s lectured you enough you know to get an antidote from the nurse if needed, and you know to report it to school staff. It’s dealt with quickly enough, but no matter when he finds out, he’s outraged all the same. ”How does a student get away with even trying to brew something like this? Staff shouldn’t allow just anybody to use laboratories unsupervised…” Vil fusses over you, smoothing your clothes just so his hands have something to do. Even if you didn’t swallow any of the potion, he tells you to take the day off to rest and stays nearby. Of course he wouldn’t just let the situation be solved without reacting, but first, he has to be sure you’re safe.

Reader sleeping on the couch after an argument w/Dorm leaders? How they would react w/happy endings?
this got super long so i decided to change up the post layout so longer stuff would look nicer. But im also posting from a new device so if this goes up and theres any formatting fumbles then uhm. you didnt see anything
𐙚 Riddle Rosehearts
Despite how hotheaded and stubborn he is, it’s actually really rare for you two to really argue. He values your opinions on everything, and he’d hate for you to feel like he doesn’t hear you or care about your feelings. The last thing he wants is to make you feel like doesn’t care.
That, however, is something he’s still learning. It’s not very easy to let go of the habits he developed growing up— Especially if he thinks what he’s doing is best for you. He doesn’t know how to convince people, so he ends up coming off forceful and inconsiderate. It might even happen without him noticing he messed up, if you’re not extra straightforward about it.
So he knew you weren’t happy with him, but really didn’t think it was that bad, seeing you asleep on the couch is the last thing he was expecting. Even more if it’s the first time it happens, it makes him freeze go into panic mode.
You’re woken up to a really shaken looking Riddle, asking you what you’re doing on the couch at this time in very genuine confusion. He might not even have considered it was because of the argument, too focused on trying to figure out what’s up with you. And it’s hard to stay upset at him when he so readily listens to whatever you have to say, apologizing profusely and making a promise to not do it again that he’ll always keep. His intention from the start was to do what’s best for you, after all— So if he turns out to be wrong, the first thing he wants to do is to correct it.
𐙚 Leona Kingscholar
Arguing with Leona is… definitely a situation. It might have you wondering if it even counts as an argument at all. Sometimes he just doesn’t seem to even react to what you have to say, sometimes he straight up states he can’t be bothered to argue. He’s not as stubborn towards people he really likes, but he’s still very proud.
He can actually tell that he messed up very quickly, pretty much in the middle of whatever interaction went wrong, but can’t bring himself to actually back down and admit it. He doesn’t even bother trying to convince himself that he’s right or anything, he’s just that allergic to saying the word “sorry”.
When he walks past you, his first thought is that he should just “let you sulk”. It’s probably not the first time it happens to him in a relationship— And the same routine plays out every time. He wants to walk away, but he can’t. He eventually does, then he comes back and stares for minutes. Regret starts to really sink in then.
You have a blanket draped over you the day after, and Leona just so happens to be around to ask, much more tentatively than usual, if you’re coming with him to get breakfast. It’s his version of an apology, kind of. He’ll actually say it out loud if the subject of the argument was more serious, but that’s rare. He’s not very good at this and the both of you are aware of that, but he still cares, and he’ll get there eventually. Maybe.
𐙚 Azul Ashengrotto
Surprisingly, or perhaps not, he might actually have the lowest argument rate out of all dorm leaders? He owes a lot of it to just being good with words, he pretty much always manages to bring up his disagreements in a really non-confrontational way, they’ll barely even register as disagreements at all. If he can’t find a way to seamlessly compromise, he often just keeps his thoughts to himself.
...Mostly because he gets too anxious at the possibility of you rejecting him. Even if it’s something small, it’ll stay inside his head and refuse to leave, getting dwelled on when life starts to get particularly stressful. If you two argue, the likelihood is that he actually started it, because some other minor issue came up and the pile he was mentally stacking ended up falling apart.
Things can get really messy in the moment. Everything sounds offensive to him when he’s freaking out, while at the same time he’s painfully aware that he’s being overly emotional and causing problems that didn’t exist before. He stops his rant suddenly when self control manages to return to him, but at that point things were already said, and you’re walking separate ways after he awkwardly suggests you two just take a moment to cool off.
He might not even see you on the couch, being too ashamed to leave his office, but Jade will let him know either way. Azul won’t disrupt your sleep, and he’ll even try to give you enough time in the morning to get through your usual routine, but as soon as it’s possible he’s looking for you to privately apologize. He takes care to clear up any misunderstandings before voicing any of his worries, even though it’s visible how nervous he is. It comforts him just to see you looking at him with fondness again, seriously relieved that he won’t be losing you over the situation.
𐙚 Kalim Al-Asim
Kalim is another one who doesn’t really argue, but that’s not to say he doesn’t voice his disagreements, because he does, and he does it very often. It happens as soon as the thought pops up in his mind, spoken all lightheartedly. Regardless of what the subject being talked about is.
…Which can very easily become a problem. He does take all your boundaries very seriously, but you need to be very straightforward about them. So if it happens that you two get into a topic he doesn’t know is touchy for you, he might say something that comes off insensitive. And yes, he will ask you as soon as he sees the change in your expression, but the lack of tact doesn’t mix well with you already being upset, and you end up just walking away.
Only then he stops talking, freezing up completely. He can tell, that you probably want some space now, and he’ll honor that— but the whole thing doesn’t leave his mind for hours. He has no clue of when he should go look for you to try to talk and apologize, no clue of how he should even word it all when he doesn’t know what he did wrong. His heart shatters when he sees you sleeping on the couch.
He probably asked Jamil for advice, then heard that he should really give you your space, but he just can’t take it. You get shaken awake and he’s tearing up while he apologizes, saying he really didn’t mean to make you upset, that he’ll do his best to be more careful if you tell him just what went wrong, but also that you don’t need to talk right now if you don’t want— He’s a little clumsy, and very emotional, but you know he means well, and that he loves you very much, which he’ll be sure remind you of over and over again.
𐙚 Vil Schoenheit
It’s no secret that he can really nag people, but Vil really doesn’t like to actually argue— He’ll say it every time a disagreement or misunderstanding starts to get tense. Partially a self-reminder, he’s aware that he doesn’t have nearly as much patience as he would like to. It can take a decent amount of effort to keep himself in check.
You two do successfully compromise very often, but sometimes even his suggestions can come off very harsh. It’s no secret to anyone who knows him. His peacemaking attempts are still pretty blunt, and his opinions are never held back. It can easily get upsetting, going as far as feeling like he’s judging you even though he’s not.
Vil actually takes a moment to tell that he might have said the wrong thing. He’s not so proud he’ll refuse to admit his own mistakes, but he’s just… used to upsetting people. You can outright leave mid conversation and it still won’t be his gut reaction, he always believes whatever he’s saying and only wants the best for you. It can take a good few moments until he realizes you’re not just “sulking” the way his underclassmen at the dorm do when he scolds them. Finding you asleep on the couch can honestly shock him.
He won’t wake you up right away— It’s still important for you to get your rest, and he wants to really think about what happened before he says anything— but there’s no way he’ll let you spend the night there. His voice is really soft when he calls your name, waiting for you to gather yourself before he tells you he’s sorry. Gently reassuring you in whatever you need while he explains himself, he’ll make sure everything is okay before he touches you at all, wrapping you up into a hug when everything is finally settled.
𐙚 Idia Shroud
He’s freaking out, full stop. He didn’t even think he’d ever get far enough with someone to be in this position. Since when does he even have the audacity to argue with a partner he never even believed he’d get? Whatever he did, he wholeheartedly believes he screwed up big time.
...And even though it’s his anxiety talking first, he might actually be right. He’s usually really passive, doesn’t even voice disagreements beyond maybe just whining about not wanting to go somewhere with a lot of people. And even then, he might be willing to try, just for you — So what went wrong? Probably a messy misunderstanding, where he said a lot of things he doesn’t mean…
He’s honestly just expecting it to be over. Believing that you’re going to block all his socials and never speak to him again. The second you walk away, the only thing in his mind is the absolute worst, so when he sees you on the couch he’s… relieved? But just for a second. It means there’s still hope for him! You would have just disappared if you wanted nothing to do with him, right? But he also recognizes the trope, he knows he’s going to need to work to be forgiven—
Idia is just standing there when you wake up. Pacing around the living room and losing his mind. He gets startled when he sees you’re awake, like he’s terrified of what will come next. At least he’s had (more than) enough time to think about what happened… the apology you get is very much sincere, even if it gets rambly at certain parts, ending with the two of you comforting each other.
𐙚 Malleus Draconia
For obvious reasons, things can get tricky with Malleus. Whenever you feel like you’re really starting to understand him, something strange will happen again, it’s a real cycle. All the factors in his upbringing connect with each other to build a very specific kind of character. Even if it looks like you two are really similar, there’s going to be a minimum of a handful of details that just change everything.
He’s always careful with his words, with basically no exception, but sometimes he just doesn’t know what the “right” thing to say would be, or he doesn’t know what a certain cue could mean in the moment, or whatever he knows is something that doesn’t apply outside of specific context of the royal family he’s a part of— The possibilities are endless, but a lot of the time, it’s more likely that things will just chalk up to the fact you don’t understand each other’s perspectives.
He might notice something is off right away, he might think nothing wrong happened at all, it can be wildly different depending on the topic at hand. He’ll ask what’s wrong if he does notice, but even if you do try to explain to him why you’re hurt, it may not make sense inside his head right away. And even though he’s genuine and fast to apologize, it can feel cold when he clearly can’t tell what’s actually wrong.
When he walks by the couch you’re asleep on, it doesn’t even register as being related to the argument right away. He shakes you awake to tell you it’s not a good idea to sleep there because it gets really cold later in the night. Right now, he’s had enough time to process and understand the situation, quickly giving you a new, truly heartfelt apology. Even if in the whole thing, in retrospect, was a pretty minor issue — And if it isn’t, or you’re just not ready to forgive him yet for whatever reason, he doesn’t push it. The only thing he’ll insist on is having you sleep somewhere more comfortable, really.

Would you care to write about a prefect who looks otherwise average but goes all out with their clothes? Like tailoring their uniforms into different styles, one week it’s all about the academic chic and the next it’s cutesy with big cardigans and bows?
Pick any character you’d like but I’m most curious about your take on Pomefiore :) 💕
i'll do pometrio since you said you're the most curious about them, but if you want to hear my take on any others feel free to send in another rq!
𐙚 Vil Schoenheit
Regardless of what the style is, even if it's one he's personally not a fan of, Vil always respects the effort. He might even admire it really, depending on how far you go with it.
He's not one to really make totally unprompted comments on how people look, he'll speak his mind if you're having a conversation, or if he feels like there's a "reason" to — Like if one of his dorm members looks unpolished — so he'll mostly just curiously observe from a distance whenever he spots you in public.
Vil is very knowledgeable about fashion, but he definitely has certain aesthetics he sticks to more than others. Seeing anyone really put their heart and soul into their style is refreshing in general, but when he notices you completely and seamlessly transition to an entirely different one the next week, his interest is more than piqued.
"I have to say, I quite like your look. It's nice to see I’m not the only one who cares about detail in this school." He says with a small smile, on the one day that chance has you two interacting. He looks at you like he’s proud of you, even if you’re not part of his dorm, and he’s very curious about what you have to say about those outfits you clearly put together so carefully.
𐙚 Rook Hunt
On a similar vein to Vil, Rook also very much respects the effort. He finds that it just makes watching you from afar all the more interesting. What changes will you have done to your uniform today, he wonders.
The thought that you might look “plain” or “average” doesn’t cross his mind at all, regardless of how you or others perceive your features. Your clothes are clearly important to you, aren’t they? So they’re as important as your eye or hair color, if not more— It’s simply not possible for you to not be unique in his eyes. He finds the very idea of it laughable, really.
If you two happen to properly cross paths, he’ll stop you with a big smile, his eyes brimming with curiosity. “So, what is the look you’re going for today, Trickster? I can see it was thought out very carefully.” He asks, ready for whatever answer you’ll throw at him. The more detail the better, of course, but he won’t look down on a vague one. That’ll just make you look moremysterious to him.
He does know a lot about fashion from Vil, but things like specific aesthetics, or even the process of tailoring your uniform, aren’t really topics he’s had the opportunity to discuss in detail with anyone. And you’re not only someone who seems to be experienced on both of them, but also a person he finds very interesting — So if you’re willing to teach him, he’ll be very eager to learn.
𐙚 Epel Felmier
Impressed, even if he personally doesn't understand the work that goes into it. Fashion isn't really his thing in general, but he's learned to understand how much effort it can take, being in Pomefiore.
...It does make him feel just a little bit intimidated, though. He might be unable to spot all the intricacies in your outfits, but he can at least count enough of them that it looks like a lot. It reminds him of his more intense dorm mates, many of which are people he's learned to not mess around with.
Then the next week comes, and you decide to switch things up completely? Epel can barely recognize you. "Plain" features be damned, you're an entirely different person to him. He'll second guess himself all the time even after he thinks "Wait, is that them...?"
As time passes and it keeps happening, Epel nearly starts to feel like he's getting whiplash. How do you even do it? If he ever has the opportunity to ask, curiosity definitely will get the better of him. Even if he found you a bit unnapproachable before.

Hii! I love your writing! Not sure if you did this yet, but could I get headcanons of what Leona, Jamil, Vil, and Lilia would call their s/o? (Other than herbivore on Leona’s part) Thank you so much <3
THANK YOU!!! this is a little (just a little) different from the way i usually write hcs but i hope you like ittt
𐙚 Leona Kingscholar
Leona didn’t really intend for it to be his personal nickname for you or anything, but yeah, Herbivore does stick — at least for a while — and yeah, he’ll still use it even if you’re also a beastperson, regardless of what you truly are. He actually thinks it’s extra funny to use it if it doesn’t suit you.
The nicknaming is going to evolve with time, though. He does like using the occasional baby or babe, just casually, and probably not in public, but it won’t be the main thing he’ll call you. His preference very much is in giving you a specific, fitting nickname. Something no one else could call you, at least not in the way he does.
Since he’s started out with Herbivore, he’s most likely to keep following that animal theming route. It feels right, anyway. He’ll think about it, going through many, many working titles until he finds something that feels perfectly customized. It’s a significant amount of time until he just springs your brand new nickname on you, grinning all proud of himself... And after that day, that’s basically your second name.
𐙚 Jamil Viper
Jamil likes using your first name, and he’ll mostly stick to that. When you’re around others, it’s basically a given that he won’t be calling you darling or sweetheart or anything like that, since he prefers to keep your relationship away from the prying eyes of strangers. PDA is just not his thing, and it will never really be.
Part of why he sticks with using just your even in private is just the comforting familiar feel of it, but he also does genuinely love your name. If you listen closely, you’ll notice that the way he says it now is just a little different from how he said it before you got together…
On the rare occasion he calls you something other than your name, you can pretty much be sure it’s always going to come after a ”my”. Something like my love or my dear, which, fittingly, is more likely to slip out when he’s feeling more possessive than usual. But it’s pretty much reserved for that, plus whenever he’s comforting you for any somewhat serious reason. If you ask him to say it more often, he gets all flustered.
𐙚 Vil Schoenheit
Like Jamil, he also really enjoys using just your first name, said in this way that’s just slightly softer than how he says everyone else’s names. What distinguishes them is that Vil does that intentionally, in this specific way that’s clear enough for you to maybe pick up on, but not everyone else.
He really does like using petnames in private though. Vil is a little hesitant at first, because he’s definitely said the words before in some production he acted in. He didn’t think much of it then, they were just words for him— But now that he’s doing it for real, he can’t help but notice just how different it feels. He knew it would feel different, he just wasn’t expecting it to feel that intimate…
In these moments, he finds himself being particularly fond of the more domestic-sounding kind. Honey is a common one, darling is used but a bit less so, it’s mostly for when he’s feeling particularly affectionate. Silently expects you to return the gesture, but it still makes him blush a little whenever you do.
𐙚 Lilia Vanrouge
Lilia brings out the petnames pretty early on. Just around the time when he realizes his interest in you, which comes with the decision that now, his flirting is going to be intentional. The first one he uses will probably be something simple, easy to sprinkle into his usual speech, like dear.
He kind of likes the more “ambiguous” sounding names— That kind of stuff you might hear from the nice old lady who lives down your street. Hun and sweetie are other two favorites of his. Needless to say, he not only keeps it up even after you two start dating, but also specifically focuses on using whatever gets him the biggest reactions from you.
Despite having clear favorites, though, his approach to petnames is almost like he’s going down a list. One day you’re love, then the next you’re sweetheart. He likes to switch it up, see how you like different names, how you react to them. Very much encourages you to return the gesture, and if you do, he’ll copy whatever petname you call him, so you two match.
