!! WARNINGS !! i feel like PDH!gene needs a warning of his own, gn!reader, you/your pronouns used
Gene:
You were the volleyball club president, the cheery type who had a knack for making friends.
Gene is in no way fond of the popular types; so then why did you catch his attention?
Why does his heartbeat pick up when he sees you smile, when he hears your laugh?
Gene is a selfish person, he takes what he wants - and in this case he wants you.
He considered trying to find something to blackmail you with, and get you to join the shadowknights.
But you always had people around you, and everyone knew what he was like, so there was no way they'd let him pull you away for a private conversation.
But he found himself with the perfect opportunity one day after school.
Your teammates had other obligations they needed to attend to; this left you to put away the equipment.
He dismissed Sasha and Zenix (mainly Zenix as he had a tendency to speak without thinking).
He approached you, and offered to help clean up.
It was almost unnerving how nice he was being - you may have been a friendly person but you weren't stupid. you knew he was planning something.
You chose to be nice to him, but you kept your guard up.
Time passes and you guys finish cleaning up, you say goodbye to Gene, and leave.
Only after you leave does he realize he didn't even bring up you joining the shadow-knights.
He just spent time with you, talking and hanging out like you were old friends.
This is the first thing that made him question his plan.
PDH gene is by no means a good person - but even he has some morals.
After this you would say hello to him in passing and make small talk - again acting like you two had been friends for years.
You were just too sweet, and it chipped away at him.
Eventually he completely forgot about forcing you to join the shadowknights.
Although you weren't a shadowknight, you were friends.
And not just with him, you were nice to Sasha and Zenix too.
Sasha had gotten rather attached to you, and although Zenix would rather die than admit it - he quite liked having you around.
Of course other people questioned why someone as sweet as you would be friends with them. Were you being forced?
you would always respond with “they're actually really nice” - Which no one believed of course.
But Gene quickly shut down all the questions, and no one really wanted to get on his bad side; so they stopped asking you about it.
Your relationship with Gene slowly changed, you two never acknowledged it.
but you both knew you weren't just “friends” anymore.
Gene isn't the type to be explicitly romantic or loud with his affections - he's more subtle about it.
He asked you out in a very casual way - you two were hanging out at his house.
You were scrolling on your phone absentmindedly while he was playing a game, when he suddenly asked:
“Do you wanna go to the coffee shop this weekend?” “Sure!” “It's a date then.”
No beating around the bush with this man.
It's an interesting dynamic between you two - but he wouldn't have it any other way.
Garroth:
Garroth is a naturally charismatic and sociable person.
This, along with him being the baseball team captain, meant it was only natural for Garroth to be well acquainted with other sports captains.
You were the track and field team captain.
Much like Garroth you were charming and peppy, and had a tendency to naturally draw people to you.
On the first day of the new school year, you were tending to the track and field club’s stand.
Some other club leaders asked for your help; because of this a handful of nearby freshmen got the impression that you were helping with everything, and not just your own stand.
You were happy to help, but you didn't anticipate being suddenly surrounded by a large group of over-excited freshmen who kept talking over each other.
You tried to help them all, but it was getting overwhelming.
As if he could hear your thoughts, Garroth redirected the freshmen to the mentors - he also offered to help out with the track and field stand.
He wasn't very busy with the other members tending to the baseball stand.
You gladly accepted his help - although you and Garroth were friendly before this, you weren't very close.
After this day your friendship blossomed; the two of you would often spend free time together and even help each other with team captain responsibilities.
If either of you had a match, the other would be sure to come and cheer.
With the two of you being as popular as you were, it was only inevitable for rumors to start about you two dating.
Garroth brushed it off and acted as though he wasn't affected by the silly rumors - but that wasn't really the case.
Truthfully he had been harboring feelings for you for some time, and these rumors gave him a chance to see how you'd react to the idea of you two dating.
He did sometimes flirt with you, but played it off as a joke causing you to respond with joking flirtation of your own (was it really a joke tho).
When you didn't seem opposed to the idea, his heart jumped out of his chest.
He took the first chance he got and asked you out.
He's so cute guys I love him.
Blaze:
You had been the tennis team captain for over a year - your popularity grew along with the tennis club as you led the team to win many matches.
had been receiving complaints by team members about a group of werewolves that kept stealing tennis balls in the middle of matches.
A few lost balls wouldn't be much of a problem, but they kept doing this until the players had none left.
You knew if you went to the werewolves responsible yourself the chances of them listening to you were little.
So you opted to go directly to the principal - so far she seemed a lot more competent than the previous principal, so you had hoped she'd be able to help you.
But these hopes were quickly diminished when she said she couldn't intervene as it was a “werewolf issue”.
You argued it was affecting the tennis club members who were human and meif'wa as well.
But she made some vague excuse about having a meeting and told you to talk to the werewolf studies teacher about it.
After having any and all hope in the new principal destroyed, you went off to find the werewolf studies teacher.
When you explained the situation to him he informed you that this was the responsibility of the “alpha” and he couldn't do much.
By this point you were getting very frustrated - you had to run all over the school to find someone to help, only for them to tell you that they couldn't do anything.
To your relief you were informed that the werewolf alpha was Aphmau (you decided to not ask why a human was the werewolf alpha).
You weren't super close with Aphmau, but you met her once when you and Katelyn were playing tennis - you’d had some friendly interactions since and you had hoped that she wouldn't dismiss you like the last two people.
You managed to find her as she was talking to a red haired werewolf - you had seen him around a few times. His name was Blaze if you remembered correctly.
She was friendly as usual when you approached her, but you noticed she seemed more tired and even a bit frazzled.
You explained the situation to her and she was very understanding, but you could see that just thinking about handling this made her look even more tired.
That's when Blaze interrupted and said he was happy to help, as aphmau had to focus on choosing an alpha male - whatever that means.
You were ecstatic, after all that running around you finally found someone who could help.
Blaze was very sweet- and although he was a tad clueless when it came to certain things, he certainly had the spirit.
You helped Blaze find the responsible werewolves and at first he was explaining to them that they shouldn't steal things that don't belong to them.
However after they were not very receptive to this, he took a more,, “hands on” approach.
You knew after going to this school for some time that werewolves would often solve conflict by fighting.
But you didn't expect blaze to throw the werewolves out the nearest window and then jump out after them???
You just wanted your team members to be able to practice in peace.. How did this happen-?
By the time that you reached downstairs where they were, the group of werewolves were standing in front of Blaze, looking down silently.
Blaze was grinning and looked very proud of himself - he seemed to be waiting for you to tell him he did a good job.
You didn't expect a 6’3 werewolf to be so.. Cute?
You thanked him for his help and told him he was welcome to play with the tennis team whenever he pleased.
In the following weeks your friendship grew - he would join your practice in his free time.
Although when he did it was mostly him chasing after the ball and forgetting he's supposed to hit it with the racket.
As you grew closer, Blaze started noticing that his feelings towards you were changing.
He always thought you were rather cute but he didnt think too deeply about it.
But his desire to be around you grew.
subtlety isn't Blaze’s strong suit - the second he realizes he has a crush on someone, he starts following them around everywhere and his affection grows tenfold.
He's a naturally affectionate person towards his loved ones, but you noticed that it's different with you.
One day you decide to ask him about it and he just looks at you and just flat out confesses.
He was under the impression that he was being quite obvious.
He's so <3333
I love him
Immensely
