notes: pre-established relationship, everyone uses nicknames for mi-sun lol, fluff, lowkey suggestive at one part (still SFW don’t worry)
•••
“Oi, Zhen. Where the hell is Sunshine? She was s’pposed to come on a date with me.”
“Leona, this is NOT a good time. I’m sure Sunny will text you once she’s available.”
Zhen pushes against Ramshackle’s front door, but Leona’s bigger frame is much stronger than hers. Zhen gives Leona a sneer as the beastman looks over her head.
“I can smell her all over this dorm. You can’t hide her from me.” Leona nudges a foot through the door. “C’mon, let a guy see his girlfriend already, yeah?” Zhen sighs.
“Leona, you know I already support Sunny and your relationship. But right now is just not a good ti–“
Zhen’s sentence was cut off by a small wail. Leona’s ears perked up at the sound as Zhen cursed under their breath.
“Hey,” the housewarden’s voice was deep. “What was that?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Zhen cooly looks away, averting Leona’s piercing gaze confidently. He huffs and rolls his eyes before grabbing Zhen by the shoulders, picking them up with ease and moving them aside so he could enter.
“Oi, M-Sun! Let’s get a move on already!” he calls out, his voice echoing in the halls.
“Leona! You can’t just barge in here!” Zhen chases after him, but Leona’s much faster and has already started climbing up the stairs towards Mi-Sun’s room.
He opens the door loudly, eyes searching for his beloved when his attention is directed to the youngest of the Lei siblings holding what appears to be a… child? That looks a lot like Mi-Sun. His ears flatten against his head and his tail whips back and forward.
“Okay, Sunshine would never pull such a prank so it’s gotta be either of you,” he glared at Zhen and Else. “That ain’t our kid.”
“Of course this isn’t,” the youngest Lei sibling in the room rolls her eyes before holding up the toddler. “This is Mi-Sun.”
Leona looks at Else, then “Mi-Sun”, then Zhen — who has found a sudden interest in the floor — then back to Else. Leona wanted to believe they were lying, but he could tell by their body language that they were not. Else was not one to lie, and Zhen’s aversion was not because she was lying, but because she did not want to have to explain anything. Leona sighs and brings a palm up to his temple.
“Someone care to explain what happened?”
And so, Else began explaining how Mi-Sun had run into Rook and Trey during the science club hours, and how she had turned into a toddler after some of the third years’ club experiments got all over her during the collision. In short, Mi-Sun had turned into a toddler, and she does not seem to be aware of her current predicament. Crowley is out of town and the other teachers told Zhen and Else to simply wait for the potion’s effects to wear off. According to Leona, however, that was not good enough.
“Okay, but what about my date time with my girlfriend?” he crosses his arms. Zhen gives Else a tired look.
“Remind me who the demanding child is here?”
“Oi.”
“Okay, okay, look.” Else pinches the bridge of her nose with her free hand, carefully bouncing toddler Mi-Sun with the other. She then walks towards Leona and practically shoves Mi-Sun into his arms. “Toddler Sunny hasn’t had her nap yet, so how about you take her?”
“Hell no,” Leona practically growls. “I’m not a babysitter.”
“This is your girlfriend, Leona. You wouldn’t abandon your girlfriend just because she’s in a predicament, yeah?”
The look Else gives is chilling; Leona had no idea an herbivore could be so intimidating before. Of course, she’s not intimidating enough to truly shake Leona, but still scary enough. And considering the prince wants to stay in good terms with his partner’s family, he decides to surrender this once.
Zhen and Else immediately fill him in on details of what he’d need to do, which, to be fair, wasn’t much. They explained that the potion’s effects should wear off that same day, so with some luck, Leona could be cuddling with his girlfriend again soon. The dorm’s ghosts were occupied in the netherworld, Grim was hanging out with Ace and Deuce, Zhen had a work shift, and Else had a tea party with Riddle and Jamil. Therefore, Leona had the entirety of Ramshackle to himself.
Leona kicks off his shoes and sits on Mi-Sun’s bed, peering cautiously at the young tot in his arms who was too preoccupied with the flashy design on the oversized shirt-dress she was wearing. The only child Leona had ever watched before was Cheka, and he hardly did anything with his nephew. So dealing with his girlfriend in toddler form…
“Ung, ung!”
Leona’s eyes follow the tiny hand that makes a grab for his braids. He allows her to run her fingers through them, messily pulling apart the weaved strands, until she accidentally tugs a bit too hard. Leona hisses at the pain, causing his pearly white fangs to peek from his curled back lips. Mi-Sun quickly retracts her hands as tears begin to form in the corner of her eyes, lips trembling. The beastman’s eyes widen and his ears flatten against his head; his poor sensitive ears did NOT need to be abused by the sounds of a screeching child.
But after a few moments of shutting his eyes, all Leona could hear were soft sniffles and hiccups. Leona opens his eyes again and watches curiously as Mi-Sun sobs silently, tears flowing down her cheeks like waterfalls, with hardly a sound passing through her lips. The lion sighs before pulling Mi-Sun close to him, awkwardly rocking her in his arms.
“Hey, quiet down now,” he murmurs and gently combs his finger through her hair; just the way adult Mi-Sun liked. “There’s nothing worth crying about, see?”
Leona opens his mouth wide and pokes at his sharp teeth. He peers down at a sniffling yet fascinated Mi-Sun through hooded eyes. The young child tentatively reaches up to touch his fangs, and Leona lets her. She erupts into a fit of giggles after her hand brushes gently against it, and the corners of the prince’s mouth turn up.
“Atta girl. Wasn’t so bad now, yeah?” Leona lightly tosses the child into the air before catching her, who giggles some more. “Let’s get you washed up now and then we can nap.”
Leona carries Mi-Sun with him to the bathroom and sets her on the counter. With his free hand, he stretches his arm to get a clean and soft face cloth, dousing it with some warm water before wiping her reddened cheeks. She laughs at the feeling, causing Leona to smile even more.
‘If only all kids behaved this well.’ he thinks to himself. ‘Especially that annoyin’ nephew of mine.’
After finishing washing Mi-Sun’s face, Leona brings her back to her room. He tucks her under the sheets and gives her the sole stuffed animal on the bed — the one he had won for her on a previous date. Mi-Sun coos as she holds the plush toy close to her before yawning. Her eyes close, and soon Leona could only hear her soft breaths. He sits and simply stares at her small form with soft eyes, sighing softly for the umpteenth time that day.
“What am I gonna do with ya? You owe me big time, Sunshine.”
He then slips under the covers himself, his strong arms shielding Mi-Sun from the edge of the bed; Sevens knows what would happen if she had rolled off and her siblings saw before he did. Feeling his own eyes go heavy, Leona allows himself to fall into sleep’s embrace.
It’s not until a few hours later that Mi-Sun wakes up in her original form. The overgrown shirt she was wearing in her toddler form, which happened to be Leona’s, now has the hem sitting mid-thigh. Through bleary eyes, she sits up and looks at her surroundings: the window by her bed shows the sun setting, orange rays filtering through the room, and Leona snoring softly at her side with his fingers intertwined with hers. Mi-Sun gently reaches over to grab her phone and reads through the messages.
[New message from Zhenny:] hey sunny. the spell should have worn off by the time you get this, but we left you with leona. i had a work shift and el had a date. besides, your bf was looking for u anyway. stay safe n we’ll see you later tonight
[New message from Ruggie:] Hey Misun, is Leona with you? Haven’t seen either of you all day so I figured you’re both shacking up somewhere on campus. Let him know that we got an invitation for a practice game with another school, yeah?
[New message from Vil:] Dearie, I want to apologize for my vice-housewarden’s clumsiness earlier yesterday afternoon. Do not worry yourself, he has been punished appropriately. I will see to it that this error does not happen again. Take care, darling.
‘Poor Rook,’ Mi-Sun laughs sheepishly. ‘But… what is Vil talking about?’
Just as she was beginning to ponder, she feels Leona stirring beside her. Her boyfriend rolls onto his stomach and stretches in a cat-like fashion, tail and ears flicking with what Mi-Sun has learned to be delight.
“Hey there,” she smiles and reaches down to press a soft kiss to his crown. “I see someone had a good nap in my bed.” Leona stares at Mi-Sun before turning to his side and giving her a lopsided smirk.
“Of course I did. Easier to get comfy when you’re not hogging the blankets.”
“I do not hog the blankets! You’re just an overgrown kitty!” Mi-Sun playfully shoves Leona, who barely budges. Instead, he drags her down into his embrace.
“Sorry we couldn’t do anything today,” Leona murmurs, nudging his nose deeper into Mi-Sun’s shoulder. “
“Mm, it’s okay. Spending any time with you is good enough for me. But… what happened?”
“… Seriously?”
Upon looking at Mi-Sun’s genuinely perplexed expression, Leona sighs and begins explaining, very briefly, what transpired. As he continued, the pieces began connecting together: the contexts behind the weird texts, why Ruggie couldn’t find Leona, why Vil apologized. Mi-Sun couldn’t help but smile.
“I can’t believe my siblings convinced you to watch over me.”
“They guilt-tripped me to hell and back,” Leona half-lies. “Besides, what kind of a boyfriend would I be to abandon my partner?”
Mi-Sun hums before a comfortable silence falls between them. She begins running her fingers through Leona’s hair gently, and giggles upon feeling a purr emitting from the beastman’s chest.
“Y’know,” Leona breaks the silence. “You’re quite clumsy as a kid.”
“And what’s that supposed to mean?” Mi-Sun huffs. Leona opens his eyes and in a flash, he flips himself and Mi-Sun, pinning her arms above her head.
“I was so generous as to let little you play with my hair,” he rumbles, nosing his lover’s neck. “But you tugged at it. And then,” he inches back to grin, showing his fangs. “You got scared by my fangs.”
“I, um, I’m sorry?” Mi-Sun smiles sheepishly.
“That’s not enough to please me.” Leona nips at her collarbone and behind to slide a hand up her shirt. “But I know something that would–“
The door to Mi-Sun’s room swings open with a loud thud. Mi-Sun and Leona look up and see Else standing at the doorframe with a broom in hand.
“Oh, I thought something bad was happening. Carry on.”
“El, wait!”
But she leaves too soon, leaving Leona and Mi-Sun in an awkward silence. The prince turns back to Mi-Sun and grins cockily.
“So, where were we?” Mi-Sun’s face heats up as she begins pounding her fists against Leona’s chest, with no effect.
“Shut up, you dumb lion!”
