laughter
Everything was finally over. Yuu couldn’t help but sigh a breath of relief. The whole ordeal between Ace and Riddle was done at last. When them and grim stepped into the bedroom, Yuu collapsed onto the ground. They heard grim make a sound and rush over, wondering if Riddle struck them when he wasn’t looking.
Yuu sat up on the dusty Ramshackle flooring. They smiled at the cat, their roommate now. A smile that pushed up their cheeks, wrinkled their eyes and only a bit of their teeth showed.
“I’m fine, Grim.” They told him, putting a hand on his head before he quickly shoved it away.
Another overblot. God, Grim could remember when he thought it’d only be one. Yuu had talked one time about how they were shocked they hadn’t gone home yet. They said “it’s like a movie, ya know? We beat the big boss, and the story finishes with me going home. Or, I guess it’s more like a game then.” Grim didn’t really get it, which made them chuckle.
He was glad they didn’t go home. He might’ve had to leave the school then! He would never become the great mage he was destined to be! That’s the only reason. Nothing else, yep.
His mind was racing. He wondered if it’d drop another yummy black stone. He hoped so! They tasted great, even if Yuu and Ace and Deuce didn’t like ‘em. The dorm leader laid on the ground and Grim realized he hadn’t heard a word from Yuu.
He looked backwards and saw them laying on the ground. This again? They’d never been so tired they collapsed at the location, but it wasn’t unexpected. “C’mon! We hafta check if he’s ok!” Grim went over and used his paws to shove at their side.
He frowned when they didn’t react. “Hey! Henchman!” He pouted, before smirking and blowing a tiny fire to scare em straight! They have to follow his orders, afterall he’s the great grim!
They didn’t even react to the heat.
No laughter was heard, either.
