wgat if… Nozel being into one of the Silver Eagles that’s a commoner and a man and internalized homophobia on his part
Ok, it's so Random and kind of silly, but I just think I should send it because you're also a Nozel fan and it was from you that I got the headcanon of him having wavy/curly hair... A few days ago I listened to the song Clima de Rodeio, for Dallas Company And I had a really crazy vision of a country party with the captains in full costume, and I couldn't resist: I had to draw Nozel specifically in a chic Texan cowboy style. Here:
What did you think? I thought he was really handsome 🔥 Anyway... The universe isn't ready for his beauty with his hair down! Do you agree with how I drew him? What did you think of the outfit overall?
omg wavy nozel fan!! im so glad i started a movement, that man needs to keep his stupid hair out of that braid
the white boot and hat combo, matching his normal outfit color
yess i love his pose, so sure of himself as he must be. i love how you drew him, absolute approval from me!

“Do you know who I am?” You huff, placing your hands flat in the counter top. You did not have to the energy to deal with this, not him. Solid Silva, the renowned crybaby of the magic knights. “You cannot be rude to my staff, no matter if you’re royalty or not.”
Solid scoffs, hands balled into a tight fist. You would look back at this later and laugh at how much this royal, this magic knights resembled a toddler throwing a fit.
“Excuse me commoner,” His chest puffs as his eyes darken. Solid takes a step forward, attempting to be menacing. “It is our status as royalty that allows us to tell you exactly what to-“
A voice clears behind the royal, a cold aura replacing the warmth you built so hard to build. “Solid stop. They have a point.”
Your eyes widen at the sight of the captain of the Silver Eagles standing in the middle of your store. His eyes lock onto yours. “Apologies for my younger brother. He can be…hot headed at times.” You chuckle, looking between the two men. “That is quite obvious. Maybe you should teach him proper manners as his brother and his captain.”
The whole shop pauses, holding their breath as they wait for the stoic magic knight’s reaction. The corner of his mouth twitches before a small sound resembles a laugh falls from his thin lips. “You are absolutely correct. I shall give him private lessons as soon as we leave.” You nod, smiling. “Great. Now what would you like, it’s on the house.”
Nozel tries to protest, claiming he didn’t need anything. You place a hand on your hip, an eyebrow raised similar to your mom when she knew you were up to something. “Please it’s on the house. It would be rude of you to deny my offer. Besides, it would be great publicity for my shop so think of it as a favor.” Nozel hums, stepping up to the counter. “Deal, can I get-“
You nod, placing his order with a soft smile and maybe just maybe your number was written on a napkin.

"The look of love"
Man, I love black clover, AND I LOVE JACK
I miss him...
Drawing Nozel's hair makes me want to quit 😭
The Royal & The Witch
Something Different
After meeting during a gathering their respective exes who treated them badly in the past, Vanessa and Nozel found themselves together in one of the guestrooms... And after opening up to each other, they experience good, satisfying deed for the first time, together.
Ao3
♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣
Wasn’t this supposed to be a party, a ball, any kind of celebration? Well, it certainly was when the Black Bulls arrived here and it had the vibe even though it wasn’t a Black Bull typical party.
But now… the vibe was gone. And Vanessa was bored.
Maybe she was the one who lost the party vibe. Which was bullshit. She was the party Bull, she loved to drink and to have fun, no matter what. If there was any Black Bull who would never lose the will party, it had to be her.
Only that this evening, she did lost the vibe. And even worse, she was the only Bull to be like this. She saw every other Bull having more or less fun, even Noelle, Zora and Nacht. This was so unfair! And why did they left her alone instead of inviting her? Is it because they were also with people of other squads? She would love to make friends with knights from other squads, what was the problem?
And she was the one who convinced all the other Black Bulls to come to this party or ball or whatever it was called. It sounded like a good idea! The Wizard King had organized a special gala to celebrate the victory in Spade, including ball and buffet, for each Magic Knight. Even better. It was followed tomorrow by a charity bazar, which wins would go to all repairs the kingdom still needed and to the poor, of course. Celebration and bazar funded by the Wizard King, royals and even some nobles.
It all sounded good and still did. But now, she who forced others to go to this party, she who was the Black Bull ready to any kind of party, was bored.
All because she had to meet HIM at this party.
One of her ex-boyfriends. Probably the worst of them.
Contrary on probably popular belief, Vanessa wasn’t one to sleep around and didn’t had much partners in her life. Only five. And each of those relationship were at worst disastrous, at best… probably disastrous as well.
For someone who loved to matchmake and who teased her friends about their love lives (or lack thereof), it was quite embarassing. Vanessa took a sip from her glass in anger. She felt so stupid too. All of her frustration of her so far disastrous love and sex life was due to her stupid lost puppy crush on Yami! Why didn’t she moved on completely from it instead on clinging on it out of stubbornness and putting captain Yami on a pedestal? Because of that, all of her exes were basically pale copies of him. Buff, tall, dark hair and often not really shaved, but that was it. Somehow, all of them ended up to be jerks.
Especially the one who dared to be on this party.
Gaston Guise, the only noble she ever dated.
Of course, during the short time they were a thing, she never knew that he was a noble. She had been blind to all the hints and the red flags, especially the obvious ones. It only became clear when he broke with her. After they had a wild shag (which in the end only satisfied him and not really her), Gaston basically put her out of the room not even fully dressed (which said a lot knowing her) and still a bit dizzy from their fuck, claiming that it had been nice and that she was indeed a beauty, but he grew bored and that he’d need some fresh meat as new side-dish, for variations.
Yes, side-dish. Because apparently, while he was with her, Gaston had a torrid affair with a rich widow from whom he tried to get the inheritance and since this widow was a bit too old for his liking, he went out with Vanessa to not lose his talent on young women.
She had been mad and heartbroken, but of course she kept it to herself, since she was also mostly ashamed of herself. Like with any of her past relationships, but more with this one. She had been blinded by his vaguely similar physique to Yami and got used.
Vanessa had flown away that day and got drunk once home, doing what she always did after all those failed relationship. Ignoring her past to focus only on the present, hoping she would move on easily.
But ignoring and forgetting wasn’t enough to move on. She never dated anyone since Gaston, despite her hidden wish for romance and companionship. Vanessa couldn’t complain that much too, she had the Bulls after all and she wouldn’t want any other family than them.
But when it came to romance, she felt a bit alone. Finrals way with ladies was not romantic at all, Noelle still denied her obvious feelings towards Asta, who for some reason only wished to marry a nun when Vanessa mentioned romantic love a bit and none of the other Bulls ever cared about romance at all.
Especially not Yami.
He never noticed that she had a crush on him and even if he would have found out by any chance, Vanessa knew that even if she had try to seduce him, he never would have gone for her. She was a sister to him, nothing else. Maybe he would even believe that her crush on him was a joke.
Maybe it was. After all, Vanessa did put him on a pedestal when he saved her. And since then, she grew enough to realize that putting the one you love on a pedestal wasn’t a good base for a relationship.
She knew that now, thankfully. But still, the mere sight of Gaston made her really angry. She never got a satisfying closure since things ended up between them and in a way, he was one of the main reasons why she had a hard time finding someone to get a romantic relationship with and why she sometimes, in her saddest drunk moments, thought that maybe she will never have her very own love story.
It didn’t help that Gaston wasn’t alone. A woman was with him. Even worse, that woman was beautiful with her champagne blonde hair, put in an elegant hairdo, her icy blue eyes, framed by long eyelashes and perfect dark eyeshadow with golden sparkles, the deep red lips, fitting with her scarlet dress, not to mention the golden jewellery with rubies. And given the small golden shine on their fingers, that woman wasn’t another one of his side-dishes or rich widows, but his wife.
It was so unfair! Why did an asshole like Gaston got to marry and have a happy relationship while was still single and so far unable to find someone who wasn’t a buff jerk? Vanessa almost broke the glass in her hand and fought the urge to walk to him and splash her drink on his smug face. Well, as a Black Bull, she would and maybe should do it, but Vanessa wasn’t drunk enough yet to still be aware know that this would be stupid. This here was a charity ball, there wasn’t the time to be petty and of course, she would have been the bad guy in everyone else’s eyes. She was also neither Zora nor Gauche, so such an action would have seemed unusual for her, even for her own squadmates.
Maybe he did change, maybe he was a better man now. Vanessa hadn’t seen him since years, it was still possible. But she was still angry and jealous. Jealous of him being married, jealous of his gorgeous wife, jealous of everyone who were in love – even if they were not together yet with their loved one – jealous of Noelle who was at least in love, jealous of captain Yami probably has no idea of the feelings from the captain of the Blue Roses towards him, jealous of captain Charlotte who actually truly loved Yami for who he was and didn’t had a lost puppy crush on him.
Speaking off, those two were currently together at the buffet and were actually talking! Captain Charlotte was even smiling and captain Yami even offered her a tartlet. Yami never acted like this towards anyone, not even with the Black Bulls! He must have some feelings for his fellow captain and he was dense enough to not realize it.
On one hand, Vanessa genuinely felt happy for them, she even hoped that they would come together soon somehow. But on the other hand, she was also angry and jealous. She wanted have a man who would treat her like this as well, she wanted someone whom she could love unconditionally, who would love her back the same way.
It didn’t had to be Yami, her romantic and her sexual fantasies always had no faces despite her best tries, but she really wanted someone. Anyone… but who would want to be together with a drunk witch.
“Fuck it,” Vanessa hissed as she finished her glass and put it back on a tray. One glass wasn’t enough. She wanted to drink, get drunk and forget for a while, so that she could be her more or less normal self again. But for that, she would need a bottle and maybe a glass. Where was the wine again?
She easily found a bottle, red or white, she didn’t care, as long as it was wine. Vanessa also took two glasses for some reason. Sexual frustration, hoping to find someone to hook up with? In her current mood, probably. She never had any real good sex during all her past five relationships and she hasn’t slept with anyone ever since Gaston. Maybe just getting drunk wouldn’t be enough to feel good again, maybe she would need some really good fuck in her current mood instead. And she would love to finally have good sex, satisfying and everything she never knew before. Even just for once in her life.
But who would want a quick one-night-stand with her? Who could she ask? And was it even a good idea? She might regret a shag, while getting drunk was totally normal for her. She knew lots of people but at the same time no one who would hook up with her. And Vanessa felt weirded to ask a Bull for that. She liked them like family, even actual potential partners like Finral, Zora and vice-captain Nacht, so it would feel weird to her no matter what. And who wants to feel weird when having sex?
Besides, Finral only had eyes for Finesse, Zora would make fun of her while fake puking and Nacht would call her stupidity out. So, no options at all technically speaking.
“Fuck this, I’m gonna find an empty room, masturbate and get drunk, that at least I won’t regret afterwards.”
Vanessa left the ballroom with her bottle and two glasses, searching for a room. There were some, but she wanted a real comfortable one. No way she could get drunk and masturbate in a closet, she wasn’t yet that desperate.
On the way, she saw Zora in front of a door and Vanessa was almost tempted to ask him to hook up with her. But she didn’t. She didn’t wanted to regret, just feel good and she didn’t want him to make fun of her, as she would beat him up in her current mood. But Zora also wasn’t alone.
Nebra Silva was with him. Very close to him. And they entered the room together while… snogging?
Since when was Zora ready to get lovey-dovey with a royal? And since when was this bitch Nebra Silva willing to let a peasant smooching her? Vanessa felt jealous and angry again, despite being a bit amused by this situation. Well, at least they had a hook up and knowing them, it would be wild.
It weirdly fits both of them, as far as Vanessa could judge. After all, she didn’t really know Nebra and wasn’t eager yet to get to know her better for obvious reasons. She heard that Noelle started to make amends with her sister, but she didn’t share more details, of course. Same with her brothers, although Noelle seemed more happy each time she had spent time with captain Nozel Silva.
Vanessa sighed, resigned. Seemed that everyone would have someone this night, except her. Passing the door behind which Zora and Nebra disappeared, she heard some arguments that weirdly sounded like flirting.
She preferred to go away quickly from this door.
After passing a few doors, Vanessa opened one and found herself in some kind of guest room with a huge canopy bed, a window couch, alcove windows, a small tea table between two armchairs and other furniture. It wasn’t personalised, but not empty either and looked very comfortable, especially in those pale lemon and white shades, plus some dark wood.
Vanessa decided that this would be her feel good room for tonight. She put bottle and glasses on the tea table, sat down directly on the carpet, poured some wine in a glass (she got white wine for a change) and cheered.
“To all those who have good shags tonight while I won’t find anyone ever to shag, not to mention anyone I could be romantic with for the rest of my life.”
She drank.
And in this very moment, the door of the room opened again, a man entered, closed the door and let out a frustrated groan while hitting the door.
Grey coat that looked like a swallow tail, blue vest and cravat, white vest and pants, black shoes… long silver hair with bangs braided together in a hairstyle that would have looked ridiculous on anyone else, but not on him, cold lavender coloured eyes long eyelashes, Silva emblem on the braid and looking in generals surprisingly handsome…
Nozel Silva has entered the room in which Vanessa took refuge in.
Just her luck, honestly. Just her luck.
What that luck was, she couldn’t say. But she would prefer to be alone in a room why almost anyone else than Noelles cold older brother.
Although… he was good looking, even hot. He looked manly in a more refined way than Yami or Gaston. Anyone else would have looked ridiculous with that frontal braid, but he looked still very handsome, to the point that the braid started to look cool.
Yes, Nozel Silva was handsome and Vanessa wasn’t blind, she had eyes to see. Yeah, technically speaking he wasn’t her type, but that didn’t meant she was only into her type. Maybe she never had a type, she just pretended to have it. Bet well, even so, it was over. Vanessa was quite done with buff men for the rest of her life.
“Rough evening?”
Captain Nozel flinched hearing her voice. She got a rare sight of him, which was cool. He clearly didn’t expect anyone to be there.
He turned towards Vanessa and pinched his nose bridge in annoyance seeing her. Not pretending. That’s a plus point.
“Just my luck…”
“Funny, that’s the same thing I thought when I saw you enter, handsome.”
“Don’t call me that, you’re obviously not eager to see me here. Forgive me, miss Enoteca, I’ll leave now.”
“Call me Vanessa. And please, stay. I’m actually even less eager to be alone.”
Nozel looked at her with suspicion, as if he was looking for a trap. Gosh, this man had some serious paranoia issues. But he still didn’t left and even joined her. Although unlike Vanessa, he sat down on an armchair with poise and elegance.
None of the men she ever knew was this elegant. Not even her five exes. Not even Gaston who was a noble.
It was something different. And she quite appreciated that.
“You wanna have a drink with me?”
“I have to decline.”
“Why because I’m a Black Bull? Or a witch?”
“No. I can’t hold my liquor.”
Vanessa busted out laughing. Her first real laugh since her own evening was ruined. Cool, she was already started to feel good again.
But her laugh seemed to offend Nozel somehow, as he stood up with an irritated glare towards her.
“If you just want to mock me, miss Enoteca, then I will leave. I won’t be miserable just so that you can feel better.”
“No, handsome, please stay. It wasn’t to make fun of you, I just found it funny that someone like you can’t hold his liquor. I thought Noelle was the only royal who got drunk very quick.”
“No. It’s a Silva trait, in a way. None of us can’t handle their liquor well. Nebra better than the three of us, but still not much. Just enough that she can still talk and be halfway clear after a few glasses.”
“Sounds like she is on my level.”
“Really? I thought that with a reputation like yours, you would be more… well…”
“Ah, even the high up royals know about my reputation. Well, no, I’m not really able to hold my liquor well. I just love being drunk. Helps me forget my stupid worries, I don’t need them anyway. Cheers.”
She emptied her glass and poured herself another one. Nozel sat back down on the armchair.
“What worries you then?”
“You’re interested in the worries of a mere witch?”
“I’d rather not go back out there.”
“Why?”
“Didn’t I ask you a question first, miss Enoteca?”
“Call me Vanessa. And you start, you’re older.”
“Is that an ask game?”
“Mostly sharing bad experience to cope. We both look miserable.”
To her surprise, Nozel didn’t protested. Noelle would have been offended and proclaimed that she can’t be miserable since she was royalty, while blushing, before admit it a few hours later sometimes.
Captain Nozel was not much into denial then, which was a plus point in Vanessas books. Or maybe he was used to be miserable. And that sounded rather sad, not something she would have guessed just seeing him. But to be fair, he was one of the calmest persons in the world and as the saying said, silent waters are deep. Vanessa didn’t cared much about him before and she still resented him a bit about what happened with Noelle, despite her squadmate having forgiven him.
But he was making efforts with Noelle and in this moment, Vanessa didn’t felt like resenting him. More like some compassion, relating on his misery.
She might be already drunk, but she didn’t mind. It was nice to maybe find a relating soul. Vanessa poured a bit of wine in the second glass and pushed towards Nozel, who looked at it with annoyed surprise.
“I know, captain. I said you can’t hold your liquor. But take a sip, it might give you some courage to share what upsets you. I will too. And if you promise to not judge, I’ll promise the same.”
Nozel looked at her with suspicion, but still took the glass. “Why do you want to share? And why to me?”
“Because you entered the room, duh. And because you seem right now in a similar mindset than me. It’s nice to meet someone I can more or less relate to this evening.”
He observed her, as if he was evaluating the situation, but he still took a small sip from his glass.
“I met an ex-girlfriend of mine today. It had been… an unpleasant surprise to say the least.”
What, he as well? What a small world. And given his tone, words and miserable look, that past relationship also didn’t end up in a good way.
“So, I guessed your relationship didn’t end on charming terms.”
“If one can call it a relationship. We barely were on dates and mostly slept together, which never satisfied the two of us even. I thought it was normal, that she at least had some affection for me and that maybe, I would fell over time. But Berenice never wanted me. More like my status. She wanted to gain something through me. Probably becoming a royal and taking control over house Silva. At least for starters. Who knows what vision she had with her enormous ambition.”
“Damn. So, she basically used you.”
Nozel sighed deeply. “I hate to admit it, but yes. I was furious once I found out. Not only at her, but also at myself. Berenice is a member of house Sandler. And the members of this noble family are known to ambitious, arrogant and full of distaste.”
“Then why did you even started to be with her?”
“Good question.” Nozel took another sip. “Hope that she was different. Desperate to have some affection… which I never had since my mother died.”
Damn… This was hard.
“It was a terrible mistake. I trusted her enough to show some vulnerability and she spat it back into my face. Berenice has a low opinion on me anyway. She questioned everything I did and mocked me. Going as far to claim that my mother never trusted me at all and that me taking over house Silva after her death was never her decision. I saw her today for the first time in years, at the arm of her new husband, parading as if she deserved the world and didn’t broke my heart in the process of getting said world.”
“What a bitch,” Vanessa groaned. She might not know much about the Silvas, their story and royals in general, but she knew at least enough to assume that the late lady Acier trusted her son enough with her deepest worries and that might have at least tried to prepare him to take over, after it was clear she would die soon.
And if Vanessa ever learned something from the anecdotes Noelle shared lately, it was that the Silvas were all close to their mother.
“Handsome, please tell me at least that it was you who broke up with her.”
“I was. She is still angry about it. Not only because it meant that she couldn’t use me anymore, but also that I took away her opportunity to humiliate me with a break up. I wouldn’t be surprise if she still holds a grudge because of that.”
“Well, good on for breaking up with that bitch. I wish I did that when I was in a similar situation.”
“You were?”
“Looks like it’s my time to share.”
Vanessa stood up to sit down on the other armchair, facing Nozel. He just looked at her, without pushing her, which made her really grateful. She hated that part of her life, almost as much as the cage.
She took a sip from her glass. “It all started more or less when I… left the Witches Forest. I had good reasons. In any case, Yami was the first man I ever met and of course, I got a lost duckling crush on him.”
“You… had a crush on Yami?”
“Can you blame me? But in any case, it was just a crush. He never realized anything, dense as he is and I moved on from it rather quickly. The problem was… I moved on from this crush without really realizing or accepting it, out of stubbornness. Since Yami was the first man I ever met, I came to the stupid conclusion that this was my type. And well, I didn’t had many boyfriends, but each one of them was physically a pale copy of Yami. And all of them were total jerks.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be, it’s not even your fault, after all. Anyway, out of them, my last boyfriend was the worst. I was just some kind of side-dish for him, because at the same time, he was trying to seduce an older and rich widow to get her inheritance. And since this asshole seemed to hate the bodies of elder women, I was the young one he slept with to have breaks from the widow. We never really went on dates, just slept together and that was it. This was basically all the experience in dating I ever had, so while I hated it, I didn’t thought it was unusual. Then came the day he broke with me. He told me the truth, as well that he was a noble, said to me that he needed some fresh girl to vary his dick and all of that after we had a torrid fuck. Then he put me out of his room, I barely had the time to get fully dressed. And this was the last time I saw him.”
“This man is a shame in every way possible!” Nozel exclaimed, hitting the table with his hand. “A true gentleman should respect women first and not commit any cheating for petty reasons.”
The indignation in his eyes and words was so sincere that Vanessa almost blushed. Why did it made him hot?
“It’s kind of you to take my side in this story.”
“Anyone in their right mind would take your side. I might have my flaws, but my mother didn’t raised me like a brute.”
“Cheers to her. Well, I haven’t seen him for years. But today, I saw Gaston on this party, with apparently his wife and I got angry, as all the feelings from back then came back on the surface.”
“Gaston? Like in, Gaston Guise?”
“Yes, that’s his name! Do you know him?”
“Not personally… but that man is Berenices husband.”
“No way!”
Nozel and Vanessa looked at each other, completely dumbfounded by the revelation. Their respective exes, who treated them both like total shit, were married to each other. What a cruel irony.
After a few minutes of stunned silence, Vanessa finished her glass in a row. “Life is unfair, isn’t it? Those two assholes got a really happy life while good people like us are treated like shit.”
“Talk about yourself, I don’t think I am a good person.”
“Nonsense, handsome, you’re a good person. Compared to Gaston and Berenice. And yes, before you say anything, this includes what happened with Noelle. You owe your wrongs with respect, you face them, you make amends with her and honestly, the fact that you’re here with me still, proves as well how better you are. Whatever I might think of you, you didn’t deserve to be treated like how this Berenice bitch treated you. And I bet you’re definitely a better man than Gaston, who is a fucking asshole.”
Wow, did she somehow just forgave him with her little speech right now? Maybe not completely, but if anything, she was certainly starting.
Was her opinion on him already changing since he entered the room? Yes, it actually seemed to be. How strange…
Vanessa couldn’t tell why, but while she didn’t feel good per se, she did feel better than when she saw Gaston parading like peacock with his wife.
It definitely helped to talk to captain Nozel and to share with him, given that they had similar disastrous experiences with relationships. It felt nice to allow herself to be completely… vulnerable. She wasn’t used to it, given how she usually tend to ignore hurtful things.
But right now? It felt nice.
“Seems that we were both unlucky in relationships,” Nozel said after a while, while still looking stunned by her little speech. Wasn’t he used for people to call him a good person? Nobles would do that, right? But not meaning it and Vanessa started to suspect that the captain of the Silver Eagles was used to fake compliments.
“You tell me. It’s really frustrating. I mean, I have the Black Bulls, they are my family, so I really shouldn’t complain. But well, I am a romantic soul, I’d really love to have a romantic relationship one day. Although, with my catastrophic dating life, that might won’t happen until I’m old and grey.”
“Don’t you give yourself enough credit?”
“I’m a romantic person, it’s hard to give myself credit.”
“That doesn’t make any sense.”
“But you don’t sound surprise about it, handsome. Are you by any chance a romantic as well?”
And in this moment, Vanessa saw a sight so rare probably no one in the whole kingdom of Clover ever saw it before.
Nozel Silva, stern captain of the Silver Eagles and cold house head of the royal house of Silva, got a slight blush on his cheeks and turned his head away.
“No way… is the captain of the Silver Eagles a secret romantic?”
“Don’t mock me.”
“From me, it’s meant as a compliment, handsome.”
Nozel just looked at her, but didn’t answer. Another silence settled in and both let their mind wander.
“You said that the sex with Berenice was never satisfying. So, you never had any good sex in your life?” Vanessa asked suddenly.
Nozel looked at her with irritation, but not as much as she would have expected.
Maybe the alcohol already started to affect him.
“This is a very bold question about private matters, miss Vanessa.”
“Just Vanessa is fine. And yes, it was bold. Guess I’m already a bit drunk. And frustrated. Honestly, seeing Gaston again reminded me that I never had any good sex in my life so far. And at the same time, who would I know if I had good or bad sex, since I only got the same at each of my relationships. It shouldn’t bother me, but it does…”
Nozel sighed, taking a third sip from his glass. He seemed to have given up to be proper now.
“Were you ever satisfied with your… intercourses?”
“Inter… Ah, fancy word for sex. No, I never really felt satisfied.”
“Then your initial feeling was right, miss… Vanessa. Guess we have this in common as well.”
“That is a lot of things in common, captain.”
“In terms of disastrous love life, yes.”
Another silence, not uncomfortable. Vanessa observed Nozel quietly. Honestly, objectively speaking, he truly was handsome. His traits were refined, the long hair really had his effect, his eyes and jawline were perfect in her books and despite not being buff, Vanessa was certain that he wasn’t a beanpole either. He must be one of those men with lean muscles…
She wondered how he would look like naked.
Wait, what?
She must be crazy. Okay, she was a Black Bull, so being crazy was a Tuesday for her. But that thought right now was even higher than Black Bull level of craziness.
Was she that desperate to hook up? Was she this curious to finally what really good, satisfying sex felt like?
Maybe… Vanessa would be stupid to deny it at this point, after she opened up to the captain of the Silver Eagles of all people.
Her stubbornness to only chose men who were physically pale copies of Yami might’ve also play some kind of role in her bad sexual experience. Maybe she was reaching, but it would also explain a lot. What if she forsake her stupid stubbornness and just tried a man who was completely not like Yami?
It sounded a bit like she was just jumping on the next best man out of despair. But it didn’t feel like it… Sure, she might be a bit desperate due to her anger of seeing Gaston with a wife, but Nozel right now wasn’t just the next best man. Just he guy she opened up enough to show some of her own vulnerability and who did the same to her. Which was a lot coming from someone like him. There was more or less some kind of trust she never once felt with any of her exes, especially not with Gaston.
Well, in her current state, she didn’t had anything to lose romantically and right now, she already lost a good bunch of her pride. Should she risk it? Black Bulls were known to risk basically each day, but this might be different.
Crap, enough with that overthinking that didn’t sound like her. She should just follow her guts.
“Do you want to know how it would be to have it?”
“Having what exactly?”
“Good, satisfying sex.”
Nozel chocked on nothing but air and looked at her with a shocked expression. Okay, maybe she went a bit too far.
“Sorry, captain, just forget what I said, it was-“
“Were you suggesting that… we should do it?”
Okay, smart man, he got it rather quickly. But he still blushed more as soon as the words left his mouth and now Vanessa was blushing as well. Holy Witch Hat, this never once happened before to her. But the stubborn side of her mind still pushed through before she could stop herself.
“Well, only if you want to. I really want to know how it is, just once at least. And since you also had disastrous experiences, I thought… that we should try it together. Just to see how different and better it can be that what we got. And to be honest… I also wanna feel good.”
“Are you sure you won’t regret it?”
“I don’t know. Would you?”
“I don’t know either.”
“Then we could discover it together.”
“Why with me? Just because we talked?”
“Believe it or not, it’s pretty much because of that. We opened up to each other about our similar experiences and that… makes me trust you. Which is not the worst basis for a hook up, at least in my books. So, what do you say, handsome? You can say no, I will accept it. Believe it or not, I want both of us to feel good. And I dare to say that unlike Gaston, you will treat me well. And I promise you I won’t be like Berenice, I want nothing from your status, just a good time with you.”
And well, she said it out loud, with every single detail. She had nothing to lose anymore, not even her pride in case he said no. Vanessa was even sure that he would refuse, given the audacity of her suggestion. She was still shocked by her own boldness and she wasn’t even that drunk yet.
But Nozel surprised her. He looked at her, his shock fading to make place to a more pensive look. He seem to contemplate her suggestion. Then he sighed in a resigned tone and finished his glass in one shot.
“Do you have any protection?”
“You mean… you accept?”
“I might already have too much wine, otherwise I would have left some time ago by now. But it seems we have both nothing to lose anymore anyway. We could try. Just not without protection.”
“I have a potion, which is both contraceptive and working against periodic cramps, wait a moment.”
Her little black purse had fallen on the floor some time ago, but Vanessa didn’t have to search for her vial for long. She opened it and drank the whole potion immediately, before she could stop thinking and have doubts.
The sweet taste of mint and honey remained in her mouth as she put the vial back in her purse. “It will be about five minutes before the potion settles. We can… make out in the meantime, if it’s okay for you.”
Nozel just nodded. He also stood up, his eyes still a bit surprised by his own actions, but still slightly determined. He took her hand and slowly guided her to the bed as if she was a princess.
Vanessa couldn’t help but smile. None of her exes ever treated her like that. It was already better than all the other times. Hopefully it would remained like that.
Once at the bed, both sat down. The silence between them was now a bit tense, full of expectation. Vanessa felt nervous. Who would take the first step, Nozel or her? It was so frustrating to not know what to do, especially right before shagging.
Thankfully, the awkward tension didn’t last long as Nozel took the initiative by simply touching her chin, making her look at him.
Vanessa felt her heart flutter as she saw the look in his lavender eyes. It was so different from his usual appearance, like a kaleidoscope of emotions. Vulnerable and determined, soft and strong, plus something else that she couldn’t define.
Nozel sighed again before closing his eyes and put his lips on hers.
Vanessa closed her eyes as well immediately, savouring the touch. It had been years since she had been kiss and never once has it been so soft. Better than anything she knew before.
Slowly, she leaned in and put her arms around Nozels shoulders, who now moved his arms towards her waist, caressing it tentatively before affirming his grip, pulling her closer to him.
The kissed deepened, growing more passionate as their tongues started to touch. Vanessa felt a shift and now, she was lying on the mattress, Nozel still holding and kissing her. Doubts faded more and more as they made out, only stopping to look at each other before sealing their lips again.
Then, it became more sensual as Nozel started to move his lips over her jawline and her neck, making Vanessa shiver in excitement. Especially as he stopped right at the place were neck and shoulder met, where he began sucking.
“Oh my God, captain Nozel,” Vanessa moaned, a smile gracing her lips as she hold onto him more. This was better, so much better. With any of her exes, they would already be fucking like animals. But this foreplay here was already more sensual, igniting more passion and making her wanting Nozel fully.
One of his hand now left her waist to wander up, caressing her in the process – Vanessa couldn’t wait to get rid of her dress – and to end up on her boob, fondling it gently. She didn’t know that this gesture could be soft too.
Her chest was still covered, though. Vanessa moved a bit and let the straps of her dress glide over her shoulders, exposing her breasts. She giggled as she saw Nozel blush, staring at her exposure.
“You look like you never saw boobs before, handsome. And we both know that this isn’t true at all.”
She winked at him.
Nozel gulped but leaned down again, even going as bold to softly suck on her tit. Gosh, even the most sensual gestures were polite with him. Vanessa liked it.
Eat this, Gaston. You can’t hold a candle to this. And you too, Berenice. You had no appreciation for this divine treatment. Your loss.
“This teasing is torture, handsome,” Vanessa giggled as she started to pull slightly on his jacket. “And you’re still covered a bit too much for my liking.”
Nozel chuckled softly and Vanessa decided that this was now her favourite sound. He stood up and took his jacket off, which he put on the bedside table, which made her giggle again.
“Too proper to throw your clothes on the floor, huh, stud?”
“It’s one of my rare favourite jackets.”
“Aha, I get that… and this as well.”
Nozel gasped as Vanessa grabbed the distinctive boner between his legs. It was still covered, of course, but to her immense joy, he was hard already.
Didn’t captain Yami claimed that captain Nozel was prude? Well, she had here the proof that her captain was completely wrong. A treat, really.
“We’re still too covered…” Vanessa whispered in Nozels ears before she went up to unbutton his vest. Nozel remained frozen for a moment, but immediately started to pull her dress from her, which wasn’t an easy task as they were both trying to undress each other. She smiled as she felt his hand caress her exposed leg. Her black dress with the slit over the leg was maybe simple and not as beautiful nor expensive like Berenices gorgeous red gown; but Nozels gestures and reactions towards her made Vanessa feel more beautiful and desirable than Berenice, even more so in a simple dress like hers.
Vanessa soon was naked, with only her panties and shoes still on, Nozels vest, cravat and white silk shirt in her hands, which she put with the jacket on the bedside table, along with her dress. If Nozel wanted to take care of their clothes within their passion, she better respected that before they got too clouded by lust to care about it.
Then she went back on the bed, sitting down in a seductive pose, to give Nozel a sight to swoon over. Given his admirative look, it was working more than well.
But Vanessa also had a swooning sight spoiling her eyes, now that his upper body was exposed. She had been right, he was a man with lean muscles and he looked so hot. He wasn’t buff, obviously, but his muscles were well defined and definitely not subtle. He even had abs!
“I’ve been stupid to only look at buff men, you are the most gorgeous man I ever saw!”
“Really? No one ever told me that before, not even Berenice.”
“She must be blind. And don’t you have a fanclub who swoons over your good looks?”
“I… well… to be honest, having a fanclub is quite embarassing for me…”
“Aww, you’re so cute. Please, learn to appreciate yourself more.”
“I think I will appreciate you first…”
With those words, Nozel kneeled down in front of her and put his lips on her legs, slowly wandering them up. Vanessa closed her eyes and smiled.
Nozel lips wandered up until he reached her panties. Groaning in frustration, he took them and let them glide over her legs, much to Vanessas pleasure.
He must have become a bit impatient right now, as he throw the panties simply on the floor, before his face disappeared between her legs.
“Oh… Oh! Captain Nozel… Yes!”
Vanessa closed her eyes and lied back, completely lost in pleasure as Nozel indulged her with his mouth and his tongue. No one ever did this to her before, it made her feel like a virgin again. This man, this man was the best lover she ever had and they haven’t even started to fuck yet.
It wasn’t long before her first little orgasm washed over her. And Nozel didn’t let her any time, as leaned over to give her a long, deep kiss.
They snogged for a while, holding each other and letting their hands wander. Vanessa really appreciated how Nozels muscles felt under her touch. And the fact that his kiss made her lose her mind. Another thing that never happened before. She must really had have the worst boyfriends in existence to get this overwhelmed by an actual amazing lover.
She felt the bulge in his pants rubbing between her legs, which had the effect to only want him more. Vanessa tugged on his pants.
“Still too covered, handsome, I absolutely want you bare.”
“Only if you take off your shoes.”
Oh, gladly. Her shoes really started to limit her for some reason, Vanessa basically throw them away.
Meanwhile, Nozel was sitting down next to her on the bed, pulling off his shoes and socks, before getting rid of his pants and boxers. Even those simple gestures seemed to be so elegant when he was doing it. Was her mind already clouded by lust or was this really the case? Well, it didn’t matter, she already felt so lucky that this man was her lover.
Her eyes went down on his dick, pink and hard, ready to be put into her. It was bigger than Gastons dick… that fact alone made Vanessa feel smug. And eager. Gosh, she wanted this man so much right now.
Nozel barely had the time to turn back to her as Vanessa practically jumped on him, making them both fall on the mattress to give him a divine, passionate snog.
It was so amazing, their skins brushing against each other, feeling her boobs pressed against his muscles, while they hold and kissed each other like there was no tomorrow.
They might have turned on the mattress a few times, Vanessa couldn’t really tell. Her mind was already clouded with lust. All she knew was that when they stopped the kiss, she lied on her back, Nozel above her and his dick was right between her legs.
“Are you ready?”
“Don’t make me wait, handsome.”
And finally, FINALLY, he entered her.
Vanessa closed her eyes in a happy yelp. It felt like a perfect fit, as if it was two piece of a puzzle. This was totally different from her past experience, which faded more and more each time Nozel moved into her.
His thrusts were first slow, as if to give her some time to get used to his presence. But steadily, it became faster. Vanessa felt one of his hand wander over her chest and shoulder, before cupping her cheek. She opened her eyes and smiled at him.
His iconic braid dangled while he moved, but the look in his lavender eyes was a mix of passion and a new kind of affection.
“Do you… like it, so far?”
Vanessa grinned and angled her head to kiss him again, before pulling him closer to her.
“Handsome, it’s amazing so far. Continue, I’m begging you.”
He obliged with a kiss and his arms around her, while hers went around his neck. Soon his lips wandered to her neck, which he nuzzled, peppering kisses on it. Vanessa closed her eyes again, holding him and enjoying this incredible feelings of their bodies being one.
For a time, all she could focus on was their intertwined bodies, the sound of flesh against flesh feeling the room, her moans and his groans, their pants, the occasional kisses, his skin against her, this incredible new feeling for closeness, affection and passion.
It was already the best sex of her life. And it only just started…
Vanessa kissed Nozel again and pushed him a bit, making him fall on his back, so that she was now on top. His stunned expression was so adorable that she had to bow down and peck is nose.
“Miss… I mean, Vanessa?”
“My turn to be on top and make you feel good, captain.”
She grinned at him as she started to move, holding on of his hands against her breasts, while she secured herself on his leg with her free arm.
She wanted to seem confident, but Vanessa knew that she was mostly nervous. Never once had she been on top before. All her five exes refused to be the bottom, probably thinking it was unmanly for them.
Not Nozel, apparently. After the initial surprise of her sudden push, he put both his hands on her waist, gripping it firmly while starting to move as well, finding a strange sync with her movements. Vanessa now had to steady herself with both hands to not fall over. She throw her head back, her long hair falling like a waterfall on her back while she smiled and moaned happily. This, this was the stuff.
“Oh, fuck… right there, yes! Oh, Nozel, you’re so wonderful! Berenice had no idea how lucky she was! More, captain!”
She said that last word with a loud passionate whine that must have appealed to Nozel, because he suddenly grabbed at her shoulders and pulled her down for a passionate snog.
The kisses were hungry, sloppy even, but close and deep. Vanessa even nuzzled his neck, before she sat back up. She didn’t expect Nozel to follow her, though. He had a determined look in his eyes when put his arms around her again and started to thrust again. Vanessa looked at him, surprised and happy, before she let her head rest on his shoulder and meeting his movements with her owns.
It was a bit slower now, but still full of passion. Vanessa closed her eyes and decided to just enjoy the moment, holding Nozel and the amazing feeling of being held by him, while he moved into her.
She could even smell his subtle scent like this. Lavender? It was unexpected, but it suited him. This man was full of surprises and Vanessa was glad that she took a risk to get really close to him.
She nuzzled his neck while he rested his forehead on her shoulder, hugging each other as close as possible. Nothing would even be able to top. Vanessa knew that it would be hard to find another partner who could make her feel this great and satisfied.
And somehow, she didn’t want to find another.
Nozel finally moved a bit away to look properly at her. How different from the cold and disciplined captain he looked right now, red cheeks, hair a bit wild, even the braid wasn’t as neat as usual. But mostly, it was the smile on his lips. And genuine, soft and happy smile. It made him look even more handsome and Vanessa wished she could see that smile more often. She wished she could see him more often…
“Do you like it so far?” Nozel asked softly, while still thrusting into her.
“Like? I LOVE it, handsome. This is the best sex I ever had! I hope it’s the same for you.”
“It is. It truly is. Thank you. Is there anything else you want to try?”
He was actually asking her about what she wanted? Why did she never date someone like this before?
But what would she want? Vanessa vaguely remined that all the other times she had sex, it was mostly in the doggy position. And honestly, given her previous experiences with shags before, Vanessa could genuinely say that she wasn’t fond on this particular position. She always had felt like an object, never like an actual girlfriend.
And since she was currently finally having wonderful, amazing sex, she refused to spoil it with a position she only had bad experiences with.
Vanessa got closer to his ear and whispered, “Anything that will make me kiss you and look at you all the way… Nozel…”
Nozel understood the request. He kissed her immediately and they fell back on the mattress, he on top of her.
The kiss was soft at first, but it became hungrier very quickly. Vanessa moaned happily against his lips as he thrusted his dick faster into her. It was so amazing how much he seemed to focus on her needs and wants, making her feel important and in a way, even loved. Which was ironic, given they basically had a mere hook up.
But it didn’t felt like a mere hook up. The sex was way too wonderful to be that.
Hist thrusts became wilder and wilder, they had to break the kisses to moan and groan, before sealing her lips again. It was near, so near…
Vanessa didn’t want it to stop, but she also knew that she would be unable to held back her orgasm. And given the amazing sex she was currently having, she’d rather wanted to enjoy her orgasm to the fullest. Ironically, it would be the first time she would while not masturbating alone. She had to savour it until the end.
“Oh, Nozel… Captain! I… I think I… Yes, YES!”
The orgasm hit her with such intensity that Vanessa felt like she was flying outside of reality. Nothing seemed to be real and clear except Nozel who was still thrusting inside of her, which made the waves of pleasure linger for a bit longer.
A few moments later, she felt his dick throbbing inside of her. Nozel went up, letting out a liberating cry of pleasure as hot and precious liquid pumped inside of Vanessa, before he moved out and fell beside her, panting heavily.
The waves of passion washed over them and they only came back slowly to reality. Vanessa breathed heavily, eyes close, a happy smile on her lips.
This had truly been the best sex of her life, all her other experiences faded in comparison. It made her feel not good, but great and finally completely satisfied. For the first time she didn’t choose a pale copy of Yami, but someone totally different from him and she finally got what she probably always have longed for.
Even better, she never once tried to imagined Yami at the place of her shag partner. Sure, she never succeeded at it. But it felt so good to actually focus on with whom she slept with instead of imagining a fantasy she actually had moved on a long time ago.
And with Nozel Silva of all people. A royal, captain of another squad and Noelles big brother. She didn’t know how and why it became so great with him. But she didn’t question this. Instead, Vanessa was grateful.
She felt Nozel hands taking hers and she opened her eyes. Nozel sat back up and looked at her, that soft smile on his lips she came to adore so much. He leaned down and kissed her, slower than during their shagging, but still deep and intimate. Vanessa kissed him back, letting her hand get lost in his hair. She was agreeable surprised that it felt full and silky under her fingers, not spiky.
Nozel Silva was a man full of surprises.
“Thank you,” he muttered against her lips, as they broke the kiss. “I’ve… never felt this good since so long. Probably since my mother died…”
“I should thank you, handsome,” Vanessa smiled cheekily. “You were the first one to give me amazing sex. And I am glad that it was with you…”
If only it wasn’t just for this evening. Vanessa had loved sleeping with him so much, more than she expected. She would’ve have loved to meet him again, somehow…
Given the sad smile Nozel offered her, he must feel the same thing. She clearly made him happy and Vanessa was very certain that making someone like him this happy would be one of the hardest things to achieve.
No way they would just leave like that. She wanted a few more minutes with him! So, Vanessa sat up and cupped his face softly.
“Could you… could you kiss me again, please?”
If Nozel was surprised by her request, he didn’t showed it. Instead, he cupped her face in return and put his lips on hers for a slow, soft kiss.
Weirdly enough, this kiss seemed to spread more fire in her than all the others they shared this evening. She hoped that it was a good sign.
And holy Witch Hat, he was such an amazing kisser. Vanessa leaned more into him, intending to deepen the kiss, to feel more of him.
“Now then, babe, this room seems to be empty, so better start getting rid of your clothes and- WHAT THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE IN THERE? Oh, lord Nozel, not nice to meet you, and- VANESSA?”
Nozel and Vanessa flinched and broke the kiss, to glare at the intruders. Great, it had to be Gaston of all people. He was lucky he that she just had the best sex of her life and that he looked really ridiculous, otherwise she would have scratched his eyes out. And castrated him. With a rusty knife.
It also really helped that Nozel put his arms protectively around her. This made Vanessa feel more confident. Gaston might be buff, but what could he do against a royal captain and head of a royal house?
“Gaston, dear, what is going- Oh, lord Nozel, I am so sorry!”
A woman appeared next to Gaston. A woman that wasn’t his wife…
Wait a minute!
Vanessa blinked, but indeed, that woman wasn’t the same she saw earlier at Gastons side. Pale green hair instead of champagne blonde, hazel eyes instead of ice blue, lilac and cream gown instead of scarlet red…
Gaston was even cheating on his wife!
Why wasn’t it surprising? Vanessa almost laughed. It was just too ridiculous.
Nozel was still holding her, but his eyes focused on the two intruders. Cold and distant, like he was usually, before they landed in bed together. But this time, Vanessa find it really hot, especially with the clear disgust in his eyes as he glared at Gaston.
“Lord Gaston Guise. Lady Fabiola Vaude. I haven’t expected you to be on this gathering. Now, would you take your leave? As you can see, both Vanessa and I are currently very busy.”
And he kissed her again, very passionate too.
Vanessa smiled against his lips. Kissing another man in front of her asshole ex was definitely one of the best revenge she could ever do. Petty? Yes, but it felt really good.
“No, wait, you can’t…” Gastons mistress protested. Vanessa broke the kiss to throw her an annoyed look. Why would she act so scandalized? She was the one having an affair with a married man and they clearly had intend to shag when they came to this room. Also, Vaude? Was she related to Finral? Vanessa immediately felt bad for her best friend.
Nozel let out a frustrated smile, before turning to Gastons mistress. “By the way, lady Fabiola, if you cross path with your husband during this gathering, send him some greetings on my part. I did met him about an hour ago. And tell him once and for all that his godson will never marry my sister Noelle.”
“What, Lothric is here? Shit, shit, shit!”
And the mistress ran away as if the devil was chasing her. Vanessa admired her talent to run this fast and secure on such high heels.
“Babe, wait, I’m sure it’s bluff, he is not buff, after all! And your husband is too fat to be- no, stay here, woman!” Gaston screamed and even pouted as his mistress didn’t listened to him. Vanessa felt so smug.
Gaston turned towards them, clearly upset. “I hope the two of you are happy, I finally convinced Fabiola to be my mistress and you ruined everything.”
“Please, Gaston, if anyone ruined it, it was yourself. Don’t forget that you’re married, you were just about to cheat on your wife.”
“W… w… WHAT? How do you know I was married, I didn’t invite you! Or any of my past, um… mistresses? I think?”
“I saw earlier, when you entered the ballroom at her side.”
Gaston suddenly became smug and sly, while he approached them. It made Vanessa wanna vomit. What has she ever seen in that man?
“Ah, I see… you’re still obsessed with me. Of course you are, like all the others. Last week, Florie was begging me to take her back and I indulged her with three nights. And you, well, you basically throw yourself at the next best man out of despair. I get that. But why Nozel Silva out of all people? He is a twig, cold and way too feminine, non-existent muscles and way too pale compared to me. Not to mention that he has no experiences with women, he is too stiff for that, and-“
SLAP!
Gaston stumbled a bit, holding his cheek with confusion. Nozel was also stunned, but more with admiration.
Vanessa looked at her hand. Gosh, this felt so good. To slap him, not only for how he treated her back then, but how he talked about Nozel.
“Is that how you talk about a royal, who happens to be head of house and a Magic Knight captain too? Don’t forget that you’re just a mere noble, your status is still inferior compared to a royal. And don’t you even dare to talk like this about Nozel ever again! Unlike you, he is respectful, considerate and not using me as side-dish! And no, he is not a twig and a weakling, he is actually way manlier than you! And his muscles aren’t just for show like yours, they’re lean, defined and very solid! He is everything you think you are and more! And he is a Magic Knight, you just a mere noble who wants to have fun without consequences. Don’t look at me like that, you said it yourself when we drank together, remember?”
Gaston clearly didn’t expected that she would talk back to him like that. Good, he needed some wake up call.
She felt an arm slide over her shoulders. Nozel. She didn’t looked at him, still glaring at her ex, but it feel great to have him at her side.
“Really, lord Guise, I can’t understand that someone like would treat a lady like Vanessa in such a horrible way. She is truly wonderful. I should’ve guessed that being a gentleman is too hard for you, but being a mannerless imbecile as well is a clear choice.”
Oh, she could kiss him for that. Why did he proof again and again that he was a better person now?
Gaston paled, probably confused why Nozel wouldn’t respond to his provocation and take her side on top of it. This clearly showed that between the two, the captain of the Silver Eagles was clearly the better person.
She might just wanted Nozel all over again. But Vanessa decided that Gaston wasn’t nearly punished enough.
“By the way, Gaston… his dick is far bigger than yours and he lasted twice as long as you.”
“WHAT?”
The face he was making was undoubtedly priceless, but Vanessa preferred to give Nozel a divine snog, cuddling against him while wrapping her arms around his neck, one head in his hair. Nozel placed his arms firmly on her waist, giving into the kiss as if it was some kind of nectar.
She heard Gaston gasp, but Vanessa didn’t mind. The better man was now holding and kissing her.
“Gaston, what in the name of the Clover are you doing in this room? Don’t tell me you’re again with one of your floozies, you degenerate- NOZEL?”
And another kiss had to be broken. Why was everyone coming into this room anyway, had the others no bed or furniture at all.
But as Vanessa glared at the new intruder, she couldn’t but burst into laughter.
The newcomer was none other than Berenice, Nozels ex and Gastons wife. Never had the world felt so small. Not to mention how ironic the situation currently was. Her own ex and his, married and in the very room she and Nozel just had the most amazing sex of their lives. Never had she been so amused by such an irony of Fate.
Nozel just nodded, clearly not impressed by his ex’s arrival. “Berenice, it’s been a few years. I’d like to say that you look good, but given how the things ended between us, it would be a lie, which I’m clearly not inclined to do.”
“Wait, how… YOU broke up with me, remember?”
“I do. I did broke up before you could do it. You clearly understand that since you only wanted to use me, I couldn’t tolerate to be longer in your presence.”
“It’s not my fault that you’re unable to lead house Silva since-“
“Madam, one more word and I would need to slap you, like I did with your husband. I won’t tolerate anyone insulting this handsome eagle here on my watch.”
Vanessa locked eyes with Berenice, making her point even more clear with her eyes. It seemed to work, as the other woman took a few steps back. Still, Berenice was brave enough to ask, “Who are you, girl?”
Girl? They were basically around the same age. But well, better give some well-deserved punishment, like for Gaston, who was still bamboozled by the arrival of his own wife. “My name is Vanessa Enoteca, witch and Magic Knight, the ex of your husband and currently involved with your own ex.”
Oh, seeing this woman paling in shock was one of the best sights this evening so far. Even though anything about Nozel was currently the best sight so far in Vanessas books.
“You… you… GASTON, YOU HAD AN AFFAIR WITH A WITCH?”
“You had an affair with NOZEL SILVA OUT OF ALL ROYALS?”
Wow, it only now clicked to him? Took him long enough.
Berenice rolled her eyes at her husbands outburst. “Please, this was before we got married, I didn’t cheat on you, again.”
Again? Gosh, Vanessa was getting all the noble tea.
Gaston seemed close to lose his breath. “But, but, but… Nozel Silva, why him! He is not buff like me! And did you cheated on me again?”
Nozel coughed, bringing the attention of Gaston and Berenice back on them. “I am honestly not surprised that you are so openly cheating on each other. It only confirms what Vanessa and I concluded, based on our own experiences… Both of you are really bad lovers.”
“WHAT?”
“I wasn’t finished. Well, Vanessa and I are glad that the two of you are just part of our respective pasts and that we found actual pleasure with each other. So, either you leave or you’ll have to support us having a second passionate intercourse and I don’t think the two of you want to see that.”
Gaston looked like he was this close to have a stroke. “How… how long have you been together?”
Nozel didn’t answered. He just looked at them, cold and disgusted, an arm around Vanessa.
Gosh, another amazing sight to witness. Nozel not answering would make them made their own conclusions and Vanessa had a good idea what those conclusions will be. It made her so happy… this was the best payback she could dream off.
She turned towards Nozel, clearly turned on, “I think I want you again, honey.”
Nozel smiled as he kissed and held her up to lay down back on the bed, under Berenices scandalized gasps and Gastons extreme stutter.
Their second round went faster as the first one and just as intense. Vanessa hold to Nozel, they either kissed or nuzzled each other’s neck or shoulders, while he thrusted wildly into her.
They barely noticed how they exes almost fainted, how Berenice pulled on her complex hairdo and pushing a frozen Gaston out of the room.
The only thing that felt real was their intertwined bodies, their kisses, moans and groans, pants and laughs… it was only them, becoming one.
Their respective orgasm came not long afterwards, almost at the same time. Vanessa gasped as Nozel came into her the second time, while he held her as if he never wanted to let her go ever again.
Slowly, the waves of pleasure washed over them, allowing them to calm down and come back to reality a second time. But they still felt unable to let go of each other, even as Nozel came out of her and they sat down together.
“Petty sex is not that bad either,” Vanessa smirked after a while. She hadn’t paid any attention, but she just knew that the looks on Gaston and Berenice must have been very memorable.
“Seems that now, we can finally move on,” Nozel replied, caressing her back. A gesture Vanessa absolutely adored. Oh, she didn’t want this night to end, she didn’t want this night to be only one she would share with Nozel.
For a while, they just sat there, enjoying each other’s company. Far away in the ballroom, they could hear some music starting to play.
“The dance part of this reception will soon start. Maybe we should start to go back.”
Vanessa hummed. She wasn’t against going back, as she felt much more better than about an hour ago. But if it meant that she and Nozel would go their separate ways, then she’d rather stay in this room until the next morning or next week even.
Unless…
Nozel, like the secret gentleman he was, helped her get up and was positively surprised when Vanessa refused to let go of his hand.
“What is it, Vanessa?”
“First off, I’m glad you finally call me just Vanessa. Second, this might be a bold wish, but… I would really love if we could do this again.”
“Again? You mean… sleeping together?”
“Only if you want, handsome. But just so you know, I really enjoyed it and I know you enjoyed it too. I’d be sad if it was just for this evening. So, wouldn’t you mind if we… continue to meet like this?”
Nozel didn’t answered immediately, but the surprised then happy smile on his lips told her everything she needed to know. He wanted the same as her.
“You really should smile more often, captain, it suits you so well and makes you even more handsome than you’re already are. See, this is another reason why we should do it again. Besides, after we put our toxic exes back into their places, we deserve more occasions on great sex than just one.”
Nozel chuckled before putting his lips on hers. A soft kiss, but pretty much feeling like a sealed promise.
“If you can come over this night after the ball, I gladly accept. But… I’d also like a dance with you. Vanessa Enoteca, would you dance with me?”
“Yes to both, handsome. I have the feeling that we will get along really well after what happened in this room.”
Vanessa kissed him again, before they both started to get dressed again, helping each other and finally leaving the room arm in arm.
It was hard to describe yet what was now exactly between them. Certainly more than a fling, not quite a relationship, but still something beautiful. But for now, it wasn’t important yet. All Vanessa needed to know that something beautiful was born between them in this guestroom, something that healed them, that made them both happier, that brought them to finally win over their toxic exes, and she decided to hold on to it.
It was the promise Vanessa made as she and Nozel entered the ballroom, still arm in arm. It was something different than what she was used to, but she felt ready for this new page. With him.
The Interrogation of the Black Bulls | Nozel Silva x Reader
Basically, the Black Bulls interrogate Nozel about his intentions, what the date is going to be like, and everything else under the sun while also being the chaotic squad they are.
Nozel was incredibly nervous whenever he pulled you aside after the latest captains meeting (Yami always made you attend due to him "needing emotional support"). He had triple checked that you were single, for fear of disrespecting the Silva name if he were to pursue a taken woman. After confirming with Captain Charolette of the Blue Rose Knights that you did not have a partner, he mustered all the confidence he could and decided to ask you on a date.
Despite being incredibly nervous, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he wore the cold stare that usually remained on his face as he asked, "Vice Captain, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"
"Of course, Nozel!" Your smile made his heart flutter, "It's a date!" Then Yami called for you and you walked away with a slight bounce in your step.
Yet, Nozel didn't notice. He was trying to quell his beating heart.
Later that night, Nozel flew his mercury eagle to the Black Bulls hideout. Even though it was your home, he felt at odds with this place. It and the squad were always so chaotic and had little structure unless you or Yami were mad. Speaking of chaos, as Nozel lifted his hand to knock on the door, it exploded towards him. He dodge in a brief period.
"I'm going to destroy you, Luck!" Magna shouted from the ground, wiping soot from his smirk.
From the doorway, Luck tilted his head, a malicious grin spread across his face, "You'll have to be way stronger than that!"
Ruffians, pure ruffians. Nozel thought while clearing his throat, "Excuse--"
"Oh look, Captain Braid Face is here." Magna stood, crossing his arms, "I would shake your hand, but I doubt you want to touch a filthy commoner like me."
Nozel ignored Magna as Luck ran straight up to him, bouncing on the balls of his feet, "Can I fight you? I bet you'd make for a better opponent than Magna!"
Nozel peered down at the boy, "I am not here to fight. I'm here to--"
"What are you two doing destroying the place while I'm trying to take a dump?" Yami stepped over the broken door then narrowed his gaze at Nozel, "Well isn't Braid Face? Come to pick up Y/n I suppose?"
Nozel nodded, "Yes."
"Tch." Yami blew out a puff of cigarette smoke, "Come in, she's still getting ready."
Nozel cautiously followed Yami, the Black Bulls were definitely up to something, but the eldest Silva couldn't pin down what.
In the common room of the hideout, members were sprawled about doing their own thing. Gray was sitting by Gauche, who was painting a figure of Marie, while Gordon was whispering about who knows what. Vanessa was drinking while Charmy was chowing down. Zora was barely noticeable in the rafters, just observing. And Asta and Noelle were trying to help break Finral's "curse."
"Everyone welcome Lord Snooty Pants." Yami announced and as quickly as silence fell upon the room it burst out in complete and utter chaos.
"Agh! Don't look at me!"
"Are you Marie? Then I don't care."
"Want to try some of this delicious noms noms?"
"Come on fight me!"
"Whisper whisper whisper."
"Sit down, have a drink."
"Don't be nice to him!"
"Hey, Braid Face! How's it going?"
"Don't call royalty names, Asta!"
"But Captain Yami did it!"
"Yeah well he's a captain not a commoner like you!"
"Would you shut up all already?" Yami growled and the room went silent besides a few "Yes sirs!" Yami grunted and plopped on the couch beside Vanessa. He patted the seat next to him.
Nozel however straightened his figure despite him already having the best posture in the room, "I'll remain standing, thank you."
"Tch, whatever." Yami shrugged, taking a long drag of his cigarette.
Noelle slowly walked up to Nozel. He almost smiled at the way she was trying to act gracefully, despite the Black Bulls clearly rubbing off on her. Not that Nozel thought that was a bad thing, though he would never say it out loud.
"Nozel, why are you here?"
"If you must know, I am here to pick up Vice Captain Y/n." Nozel responded, coldly as ever.
Asta tilted his head, "Y/n, but why? Is there a training session that I don't know about?"
Yami barked out a laugh and Vanessa gasped, slightly tipsy, "This was the date she was talking about!"
A small blush creeped on Nozel's neck and the rest of the Black Bulls stopped what they were doing, even Gauche.
Charmy with food falling from her mouth shook her head, "No the guy she was talking about was "dreamy", "hot", and "sensitive." No way this bozo could be him!"
Nozel clenched his teeth, trying to fight off the mix of embarrassment of your description of him and his anger at being called a bozo.
Meanwhile, Noelle was having a breakdown. Her face was red and she was mutter so fast barely anyone could comprehend what she was saying. "Ohmygod!Whatiftheygetmarried?!I'llhaveasisterthatdoesn'thateme!Butwhatiftheybreakup?WhosesideamIsupposedtotake?Mybigbrotherormyadoptedbigsisterandvicecaptain?Whatiftheyhavekids?OhmygodI'llbeanaunt!I'mtooyoungtobeanaunt!" (Translation: Oh my god! What if they get married? I'll have a sister that doesn't hate me! But what if they breakup? Whose side am I supposed to take? My big brother or my adopted big sister and vice captain? What if they have kids? Oh my god I'll be an aunt! I'm too young to be an aunt!")
Asta patted her shoulder, "I don't know what you're saying, but it'll be okay!" He turned to Nozel and pointed his sword at him, "We can't allow him to take the vice captain without some questions."
Nozel glared at the mana-less boy, "Ask as you see fit."
To everybody's surprise, Gauche jumped up first and slammed his hands down on the table, almost hitting his precious Marie doll, "I get to see Marie twice a month because of the vice captain! On the demands of that old hag, Y/n must accompany me one of the two days. You're not going to take that day away from me and Marie? Because I'll kill you! I don't care if you're dating the vice captain or not!"
All the Black Bulls rolled their eyes, of course Gauche had to make it about him and his sister. However, Nozel calmly respond, "I shall not. I know the importance of family."
Gauche nodded and continued with his Marie doll whilst the other Black Bulls stood in shock. Nozel? A family man? That was not the first descriptor that came to anyone's mind when it came to the Silver Eagles captain.
"Pfft, you don't have to worry about that Gauche." Magna waved his hand, "I bet he doesn't even know Y/n's favorite color."
"It's f/c."
"That's one easy because of her bracelet!" Magna sputtered, "What about her favorite animal?"
"That's a trick question." Nozel responded smoothly, "She loves all animals."
"Whatever." Magna joined Vanessa and Yami on the couch in defeat, "Luck, you ask the man a question."
Luck thought for a while before smiling, "Who would win in a fight, me or Y/n?"
"Vice Captain Y/n would win."
Luck sighed, "Yeah you're probably right. But I wouldn't go down so easily!"
"Enough with the stupid questions." Zora jumped down from the rafters. He peered down at Nozel with distaste, "What are your intentions royal? Get her hopes up then throw her away once she's done with her use?" Zora tilted his head, "That's all royals and nobles are good for, right?"
"Zora!" Finral gasped while also stepping away from the impending fight, "Maybe lets not say that to a very strong captain."
Noelle blew air through her nose, "The Silva family is not like that."
"Well?" Zora asked, "What is it pretty boy?"
Nozel had taken a moment to regain his composure. It would do him no good to get into a brawl with one of your subordinates. You would definitely never speak to him again. Hell, you only glared at Langris now after the Royal Knight tournament, and Nozel didn't want to be on the same list as the Golden Dawn knight.
Nozel took a deep breath, "I plan on taking her to dinner, then allow her to make decisions for herself. I will never throw her away like she is some piece of trash. She's the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on."
"Aw! Thats sweet!" Gray blushed behind her hands, "Please don't look at me!"
"Nozel.." Noelle whispered, staring at her brother in awe.
"I am glad my best friend has met a man like you." Gordon finally said something audible.
"I know exactly how you feel!" Asta yelled, causing Noelle to be a blushing mess.
"I didn't know you felt that way." You stood on the top of stairs, tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear. You wore a f/c casual-formal dress that brushed your knees. Your hair in a bun instead of the usual ponytail.
Nozel sucked in a small breath at your beauty. Yami let out a low whistle, "Why don't you ever get this dressed up when we go out?"
You glared at the captain as you walked down the stairs, "Because it's usually to deal with whatever bullshit the squad has gotten into." Stopping in front of Nozel, "Sorry for taking so long. I promised Henry some of my mana because he's still resting from turning our hideout into a literal bull." You looked around the room at your squadmates, "I hope they didn't give you a hard time."
Nozel shook his head slightly, "Not at all." He held out his arm for you, "Shall we go?"
You smiled as you intertwined arms, "We shall."
When the two of you left, the Black Bulls started placing bets on how long the two of you would last. Noelle, however, kept her gaze on the now fixed door, proud that her brother had finally found someone.
