COURTING YOU? SINCE WHEN?! Featuring Savanaclaw!

requested ask from here!!!!

While courting, wolves will stay close to their potential mate and typically will not leave their side if possible. They are also very affectionate and will nuzzle, lick each other, and will even walk side by side.

Jack Howl! Who’d recently begun acting… strange, to you, recently - face avoiding yours entirely when you sat or walked next to him, ears perked up and tail wagging when you’d offered him a hug that one time.(though he swatted your affection away. Huh.) Shoulders brushing against yours a little too purposefully during movie night, forever complaining about how your uniform was never neat, always helping you readjust your tie, dusting off imaginary dirt off your clothes whenever you meet, bashfully looking away when you asked him why he was being so nice(“Well, we’re… in the court - no, nevermind.”) Things went downhill(or uphill, maybe?)when he started to return your affections, nuzzling his nose against yours or your neck, almost whining when you tried to pull away, pawing at you to stay with him, for just a little while longer… earning sniggers and off-handed comments from both Leona and Ruggie, teasing Jack on how he was really piling it on ‘em, huh, getting one too many complaints from Leona, about how you smelt just like him… wait, what? Jack Howl, who was certain you’d agree to meet his family over the school holidays - you started to court him first, after all, and he was certain they'd absolutely adore you :)))

While courting, male hyenas will often shadow their potential mate to foster a relationship, approach a female and repeatedly take a few steps toward her and then a few steps away, even if the female doesn't react to his approach, and bow low to the ground to show submission to the potential mate, as female hyenas tend to be more aggressive than their male counterparts.

Ruggie Buuchi! Who was acting shifty again - walking behind you but scuttling a few steps back if you ever noticed him, face a mix of fear and hesitance, before returning to tailing you - but he was Ruggie, so you quickly dismissed his behaviour as Ruggie just being Ruggie again.(Which worked wonders for the poor hyena’s heart, now fully sure you weren’t going to bite his head off if he got too close.) Following you around school like a shadow - a skittish, blushy one, sure, but still a shadow nonetheless - attempting to mask them as chance encounters, though after a while, he was fairly sure you knew he was just making up excuses to hang around you at this point(not that he minded much.) Walking you to essentially anywhere you went, copying your actions to a tee - if you ate, he would eat(not without stealing bites off your plate, though), if you took a nap, he would take a nap.(on your lap, preferably, but only if you let him) Being more affectionate to you in general, wrapping his arms around you from behind, resting his chin on your shoulder, though he was quick to bend down and apologise if he ever felt like he was overstepping. Pupils practically turning into hearts when you let him nuzzle his nose against your neck from behind, hiding his burning face into the crook of your neck for nearly ten minutes before he pulled away.(A successful mount - Grandma would be so happy, shyehehehe!) Inviting you over to his home in the Savannah over the school holidays, grinning despite your confused expression. “What? Granny’s been dying to meet my dear mate, it’s only expected, shyeheehee.” :))))

While courting, lions typically approach their potential mate and engage in actions like nuzzling, head rubbing and licking, followed by ‘tended courtship’ where the male follows their potential mate, shadowing them and engaging in behaviours such as rubbing, pawing and gentle biting.

Leona Kingscholar! Who had started to cling to you like a particularly annoying leech, dragging you to his favourite napping spots and holding you hostage in his arms, head slotted perfectly into the crook of your neck ignoring his usual schedule of skipping school in favour of following you around instead - walking you to all of your classes with a glare venomous enough to scare off anyone trying to talk to you, so ‘conveniently’ standing outside them when they happened to end.(not slick, Leona, not slick at all.) Rubbing his head against yours on one such kidnapping occasion, smile a tad bit too smug when you repeated the same motion to him, before you tried to get up and was met with a scowl and his hands pawing at you back to the grass, his arms firmly wrapped around your middle to prevent further escape attempts(sucks for you, I guess) Things escalating when he bit you, square on your neck after a nap, expression strangely nervous, before brightening up considerably when you decided to be petty and promptly nipped him back on his collarbone, for ‘payback’ (nevermind how your face felt like it was burning, how he grinned and pulled you in for a celebratory nap, once again locking you in his embrace) Knocking on your door the day before the school holidays, flopping on your bed, seemingly done with life before he spoke - “Falena keeps on bugging me to meet my mate. How about it? Can’t say Sunset Savanna’s the nicest place to visit, but you oughta get used to it - visiting in-laws, and all that. …What? D’ya think you could court a prince and get away scot-free? ;))

A KC AND A TWST WRITER?!! oh I love you. I AM SO JOYOUS RN!!!!

but do I pick from my TWST req list or my KC req list

hmmm

Well, I suppose TWST for now because your profile says that TWST reqs specifically were open, but if KC reqs are too lmk!!

Anyways, as for the req; How would NRC boys react to you giving them a little plushie of you or themself?

...ykw i might just have to add a KC version of this question too my list

Hmmmm I'll put em into groups so it's easier to answer !

For this scenario, I'm picturing you given them both a plushie of themself and a plushie of you together, "cause we're a pair !"

Is totally taken by surprise, probably blushing and he gets all flustered and thanks you a bunch of times. Gets home to his room and places the plushes in the safest spot he can think of. Probably sighs dreamily while looking at them.

Deuce (shows the plushes off to Ace and his other roommates, tells his mom, tells Riddle, Cater and Trey, tells Lucius-)

Cater (magicam selfies with your plush wherever he goes, takes "couple" pics of his plush with yours)

Jack (pupils dilate and he swears in his heart to ensure nothing EVER happens to these plushies)

Azul (goes bright red, takes the plushes and insists for you to signa contract saying that you will come and visit them, and him, often "So they don't get lonely !")

Idia (who also calls you cringe for doing this ""dating sim type of approach" but squeals into his pillow later that night till his voice goes hoarse)

Takes the plushie in his hands and hold it so preciously, like its glass. Marvels about it's craftmanship, tells you this gift is one he'll treasure forever and ever.

Riddle (goes bright red, but his eyes soften when he takes your hands in his and thanks you sincerely),

Trey (smiles at you sincerely, his fingers brushing against your palm as he takes the plushies, his voice thanking you sounding so sweet you almost get a toothache)

Jade (teases you about the attention to detail on his plushies but smiles softly at yours and promises to send you pictures of it with the beautiful sunrise as the background the next time he goes hiking)

Rook (talks about the plushes for hours on end to anyone who will listen, every day when you see him, both of the plushes are in those plastic plushies protector cases, he even hangs them on his neige/vil itabag)

Kalim (another yapper, tells you not even the finest craftsman in all of the Scalding Sands could replicate this masterpiece, his eyes are shining so brightly, its blinding you)

Jamil (genuinely stunned to silence for a while before he gets a hold of himself and promptly tries to suffocate in his hoodie. Once he's calmed down he thanks you many many time and promises you these plushes are the one thing he would save if he has to burn his room to get rid of bugs)

Silver (gets that princely look in his eyes and holds both plushies like he's holding a lil critter that may run with a wrong move, thanks you in a breathless sort of way that has your heart racing, goes back to his dorm and asks Lilia if he is too young to get married)

Makes fun of you. Why do you have a plushie of him ? Kinda creepy no ? (His whole neck is red, his ears are red and he can't look you in the eye)

Ace (his smirk is wobbly and you can hear how touched he is even as he calls you a creep for stitching the exact patterns on his hoodie onto the plushies equivalent, when your fingers brush against his, you swear he squeaks)

Ruggie (he's gazing at the little handmade plushies like you just handed him everyone's wallet and he's looking at you like your the biggest, freshest donut at the bakery, get ready for him to get clingy for the next coming days- maybe forever if you play your cards right)

Floyd (he makes fun of you and theres seemingly no other emotion in him, but by now you can tell that if Floyd keeps rubbing the back of his neck, he's flustered as hell. His hand does not leave his neck during the entire conversation and you hear a Octanivelle student whisper about how he had crouched on the floor for a 30 minutes just mumbling shrimpy over and over again)

Epel (he compares you to his meemaw, then he pinches his arm and apologizes before calling you a stalker for nailing down how his hair falls perfectly, and then he pinches himself again and ends up just thanking you in the most southern accent you've ever heard come out of his mouth, he can't control it when he's this embarrassed)

Sebek (ok well, he doesn't try to make fun of you, he's stunned into silence which is very very rare, suddenly gets down on one knee like a knight getting knighted and says hes incredibly honoured to receive such a precious gift and he will forever be in your debt and that-, once he finished monologuing, he's shy again and runs off)

Lilia (ok the old man is very VERY out of practice, so when you come holding the cutest lil plushies of you and him, the first thing that pops into his mind is to ask if you're obssesed with him. Tries to kick himself and fails, he does tell you that the plushies are works of art and invites you to dinner, you agree when he tells you it'll be a dinner at a fancy restaurant in town)

The Vil, Leona, Malleus and Ortho corner (cause those three didn't fit in either specific one and Ortho's is PLATONIC)

Vil (studies his plushie like he's a judgje on a panel deciding on your entire fate and future with him, then his lips curve as he traces the intricate details in his hair and you just know he approves, you are rewarded a kiss on the cheek)

Leona (blinks one eye open to look at the plushies, closes it and sits up straight, after he stares for awhile, he takes your plush, lays back down and puts it on his chest, you know it's approval + his tail is wrapped tightly around your leg)

Malleus (everything seems to still when he takes in the tiny little things in your hands, outstretched to him like its a offering, he accepts and gingerly examines both of them, once he's done, his smile is so wide your sure some diasomnia students are getting cold chills right now, you feel warm and fuzzy inside though)

Ortho (PLATONIC) (He's gasps and zooms forwards to scans the plushies. You get a hug from him that leaves you gasping for air as his metal squeezes you, but the shine in his eyes makes the pain worth it

I love all of them holy shit

[akisteahouse]

I LOVE YOU THE BEST! in which some of the NRC boys don’t even try to hide their affections for you…

Kalim Al-Asim! Who was seen with you more often than not, happily chatting away with the object of his adoration - you - ever since he found out he like-liked you.(from Lilia, no less, after he’d spent half of the time in the pop music club talking about you, it was about time someone helped the poor boy figure out his feelings) Showering you with everything you laid your eyes from, whether it be a drink from the Monstro Lounge, or a pretty bracelet from the boutique not too far from Night Raven - a sweet gesture, at first, until he tried to buy and gift you a restaurant you seemed particularly fond of, then you had to get him to stop(nevermind how your voice softened considerably when he seemed to deflate, mumbling apologies under his breath, eyes glassy and wet - you could never stay mad at him for too long). Inviting you over to sleepovers at Scarabia so often that you practically lived in his room now, in that disgustingly newlywed kind of way, with a bed the two of you shared(and made every morning, together) and makeup palettes that he insisted you could use(much to Jamil’s chagrin). Hand in yours for most of the day, if he could help it, dragging you back and forth campus, always citing the same reason - ‘Oh, this looks fun, wanna go together?’(nevermind how his heart stuttered in his chest at the last word, how the idea of the two of you being together made him feel so giggly that he’d accidentally made Jamil concerned when he heard him laughing to himself while studying). Finally blurting out his very apparent feelings for you on a magic carpet ride - “I like you a lot - your eyes, your smile, your hands… and I think you’re really so so pretty and sweet and nice and -“ almost sending the carpet crashing down when you said you liked him too, crash landing into one of Scarbia’s many sand dunes with a smile brighter than the sun’s, gleefully peppering kisses everywhere but your lips, cheeks hurting for smiling so damn much - you’d gladly return the favour to your dear boyfriend, right? :))))

Ruggie Buuchi! Who you knew as your quiet seat mate in animal linguistics, and not the massive head-over-heels loser literally everyone else saw him as for you - it really was a mystery how you never noticed his pining stares from right next to you, the way his ears would perk up at the sound of your voice, how even just a tiny bit of skinship had him so pink one would think he was about to steal Riddle’s brand ://// Oblivious, oblivious you who didn’t even notice the fact that Ruggie, the guy who stole from other’s pockets and lunch trays, offered you a piece of his lunch every single time(sliding riiiiight next to you, body brushing against yours in that electrifying way that made his body feel alight with nerves - the good ones, of course ;) ) Coincidentally getting a part-job at the Mystery Shop the minute he learnt you were a regular there, so obviously giving you priority over the other customers, heart leaping in his chest like an idiot when you thanked him for helping you pick out the best deal for detergent, going unusually silent when you patted him on the head for it(pleasepleaseplease do it again he’d gladly do all your laundry for the rest of your life just run your fingers through his hair again like that :))) )

Riddle Rosehearts! Who everyone knew had the biggest, fattest crush on you, but were mostly too scared of getting beheaded to actually tell your dense self, leading you to know Riddle as not Heartslabyul’s teapot-tyrant but as the blushy, permanently red-faced second-year that tutored you in practical magic - which sucked for the both of you, because your darling tutor most certainly wasn’t ready to ask you out anytime soon, much less be your beloved,,,,,,, sigh, if only you could pick up on context clues and just court him already :’(( Face flushing his signature shade of rose-red when you offered to feed him a slice of his favourite strawberry tart at the Unbirthday party he’d invited you to(‘concidentally’ getting to sit right next to him, citing some obscure Queen of Hearts rule, ignoring the loud snickers from Cater and Ace from opposite the two of you), going uncharacteristically silent for a moment before clearing his throat - “Well, as host, it would be rude for me to refuse.” (Wouldn’t you do it again? For the rest of your life together, of course <3333 )

Idia Shroud! Who couldn’t help but melt into a puddle of goo under the immense pressure of even a tiny fraction of your attention :((((( Mind blue-screening immediately when you waved at him that one time, mind so busy trying to get his hand to work and wave back, that he accidentally slammed his forehead into a wall. In front of you. The tips of his usually blue hair now burning a bright pink(a sight you’d long become used to, as the Ignihyde housewarden seemed unable to talk to you without his face and hair becoming pink), because NO NO NOT NOW WHY NOW?!?! Holding his stinging face in his hands as he prayed to the Seven that maybe there had been a very interesting bug on the floor when he fell that you would have looked at in favour of instead of him, but alas - his desperate pleas had gone unanswered, clearly, as you were now in front of him, holding his face in your warm and soft hands,,,,, getting brought to the infirmary and panicking even more because you weren’t leaving his bedside(a trope he’d adored in anime, but he was nowhere as cool as the main lead to pull off), and you insisted on staying until Ortho came. Which would take a while, because he may or may not have installed a tracking device in Ortho’s system to alert Ortho to get those normies to go away when he was alone with you… and now his master plan to sweep you off your feet had failed miserably, leaving the both of you to ugh, communicate. Hey, just a suggestion, but wouldn’t you speed up this process by kissing his injured face silly? :)

BONUS:

Malleus Draconia! Who looked at you like you hung all the stars in the sky when you joined the Gargoyle club, pale face tinting pink when you insisted he continue talking about gargoyles when he’d stopped himself mid-sentence, thinking he was boring his only club member. You… really were a kind person, weren’t you? :))

Floyd Leech! Who everyone thought you were already dating due to the mass amount of times you two were seen hugging, though most never failed to notice the way Floyd was with you versus anyone else, hands gentler, softer. Oya? You really were his absolute favourite person to squish, y’know? <333

Cater Diamond! who spent more time than necessary stalking all your social media accounts, memorising all your likes and dislikes, for ‘funsies',,, yeah, he was fooling absolutely no one, especially with the way he grinned when your eyes brightened after he’d bought matching keychains for the both you of your favourite character - “How’d you know?” “Lucky guess.” ;))))

[akisteahouse]

sigh,,,,,,,, thinking about your newly wed husband…

Floyd Leech! Who never kicked the habit of being the worst person alive to sleep next to, not even in your many years of being together >:( Waking up blanket tossed aside to the floor with his back pressed against yours, fully ensnaring you in his freakishly strong grip, despite numerous complaints about overheatin’ in the morning thanks to ya - jackass. Kissing you before leaving for work so obnoxiously loud you can hear the smack of his lips leaving yours, teeth exposed by his devilish grin - “Don't miss me too much, ‘kay?” Always coming home with his suit suspiciously mussed up, smelling of old copper coins, practically tackling you every time he sees you, eyes crinkling and mouth opened in a toothy grin, singsonging five words - “I'M BAAAACK ~ didja miss me?” :) Dragging you all the way to the Coral Sea for the Leech family’s monthly family meeting, though everyone knew Georgina just wanted an excuse to see her son and her dear child-in-law, pinching your cheek and cooing about how she wanted to fatten you up, only for Floyd to pull you close, complaining about how you were his to squish - well, you did sign up for this <33

Vil Schoenheit! Who never let you have a lazy morning in your entire relationship, waking you up with smoothie bowls and invitations to joining him in pilates - you never say yes, but you’re always willing to watch your dearest as he works out :)) Subtly hinting at his engagement in interviews, getting married in a small but picturesque chapel, close friends only - soft launching your marriage with a single caption less photo on Magicam, both of your fingers entwined, rings glinting in the almost dreamlike sunlight <3333 Spending his off days hate watching the odd soap drama together on the couch, so close you can smell your precious lover’s scent - the fragrance from his expensive body wash, the smell of the real Vil Schoenheit, something his hundreds of followers would never get to experience :)) Going on lengthy press tours, only to come home late to the sight of you, asleep on the couch, clearly waiting for him - “You ought to listen more to me, my sweet potato - sleeping on uneven surfaces can cause back problems, you know.” Still joining you anyway, after bringing a pillow to properly support your head and a blanket to cover the both of you <3

Ruggie Buuchi! Who moved into a neighbourhood suspiciously close to the slums he used to live in, your backyard even having a granny flat in case of Grandma Buuchi’s surprise visits, signature donuts and grin in hand <333333 Clinging on to you in the morning before work, grumbling about five more minutes before caving to having responsibilities and forcing you awake as well - married couples should go through troubles together right, shishishishishi >:))))) Never missing the opportunity to start a neighbourhood barbecue even in the blistering summer heat, always giving you the best cuts of meat straight from the grill - what a gentleman :)) Monthly date nights spent anywhere from your living room, watching cheesy chick-flicks to the beach, rubbing sunscreen on each other’s backs(“Like what ‘cha see?” He’d snickered, on one such occasion, after watching you ogle his toned back muscles - cocky bastard, but he’s cute, so whatever ;))

BONUS:

Trey Clover! Who ends up taking over the family business, apologising about dragging you into it - but you’re repaid handsomely back, getting a front row seat about seeing your dear husband knead dough with those big, strong arms of his <3

Jamil Viper! Who had no qualms about taking your last name, and most certainly never will <3333 Dependable to a fault, always cooking Michelin-star worthy meals for dinner, wiping away any leftover crumbs from your mouth with that adoring look in his eyes - yeah, he definitely isn’t leaving any time soon :)))))

Silver! Who even during his so-called bachelor’s party(a glorified sleepover with his friends) couldn’t think about anything but you, dreaming about your future, your smile, your adorable laugh… and if he broke tradition by visiting you earlier than he was supposed to, he was sure you wouldn’t be too mad <333

Rook Hunt! Who everyone else was sure had kidnapped you to some faraway land due to never seeing you two again after your wedding, when in reality, your newly-wed spouse had simply whisked you away to a year-long honeymoon, visiting every inch of land Twisted Wonderland had to offer - ah, what wouldn’t he like to experience with his dear amour?

[akisteahouse]

If requests are open, can I request some cuteness? Can I ask which boys would be most charmed by a partner who loves to stroke them? Like, playing with their hair, rubbing their arm or back, whenever they have a free moment alone. Maybe... the top three who most enjoy it? <3 Thank you!! I'm a big fan of your blog ❤️

CAN’T SLEEP LOVE ! - ★

in which there’s nothing they adore more than your touch! featuring idia shroud, ruggie buuchi and malleus Draconia !

Idia Shroud! Who had started to gravitate to your touch more subconsciously than not as of late, something you were fairly grateful for, after your first few attempts of gasp, affection! at the start of your relationship ending up with him skittering away like a scared mouse. Now fully adjusted to the feeling of your fingers against his skin, his fantasized habit of leaning his head into your - anything, really - to get some silvers of your warmth while he gamed on his console had fully manifested itself into real life and not just his daydreams, leading to a multitude of positions he’d landed both you and him into for the sake of your touch(squashing his cheek uncomfortably into the bone of your shoulder one time, his legs entwined and curled around yours yet refusing to budge once you’d started running your fingers through his long hair, something that he was certain rewired something in his brain after you’d started to rake your nails against his scalp, as he’d promptly forgotten to actually play his game and ended up dying). But thinking about it now… maybe it was better that he’d stopped gaming, after all - nothing felt better than your dear nuzzling further into you, pale cheeks tinted pink the entire time, a giddy grin on his prettily flushed face all the while <333

Ruggie Buuchi! Who’d never admit it out loud in fear of being called overly soft but had always thought of your touch as the soothing balm to any and all of his woes, whether it be you letting him lay his head on your lap after a particularly stressful day(the heat from your thighs and the feeling of your fingers scratching that specific spot behind his ears causing his brain to melt to mush, making your dearest hyena turn putty in your more than capable hands) or the feeling of you rubbing his back(something he was incredibly appreciative about most at night, burying his face into the crook of your neck as you continued on with your gentle ministrations, lulling him into peaceful slumber). Crawling over your body on one such occasion, blue-grey eyes with that expectant look on his face you’d come to recognise as him asking for your attention, bushy tail swishing back and forth as you raised your hand to run it through his hair as you always did, your boyfriend in question letting out a muffled giggle against your tummy as you continued, tracing shapes into your bare skin, right before snoozing away on top of you like an overgrown cat, content. But then again, who were you to deny him his rest, especially when he looked so happy? <33333

Malleus Draconia! Who ever since you’d started giving him heaps of affection after you’d started dating, acted more and more like a clingy cat whenever he spotted you - perking up and looking around for you once he heard the sound of your footsteps, pupils dilated and being so terribly excited the minute your eyes met that a smile would almost immediately be spread across his face, showing the dimple on his left cheek you were so fond of (though not before he approached you himself, practically with pink flowers blooming all around him, of course.) Loving nothing more than to squeeze right next to you on walks, so close that your hands were nearly brushing against each other, this habit of his worsening when you took things a step further by gasp! holding hands?! and leaning your head onto his shoulder, every brush of your hair against his cheek sending shivers down his spine - in the heartstuck, lovesick way, making all the butterflies come all aflutter in his chest. But surely nothing had ever charmed him more than your gentle touches, the way you stroked his head oh-so kindly, the way your fingers brushed against each groove and nook of his horns so sweetly (an action that made him fall for you harder, if it was even possible). But perhaps you’d gone a little overkill with all your spoiling, as now your dearest would sulk anytime you didn’t play with his hair or hold his hand, impatiently grabbing your hand to smush against his cheek. Oh well, you’d survive <33333333

CUDDLEBUG! - ☆

featuring Riddle Rosehearts, Ruggie Buuchi and Azul Ashengrotto!

Convincing your prim and proper boyfriend Riddle to sleep in the same bed as you before gasp, wedlock! was one thing, and getting him to, quite frankly, get his paws off!!, was most certainly another - his usually loud voice muffled to a mere mumble once buried in the crook of your neck, arms wrapped around your body like a very soft, very warm blanket, the sweet smell of strawberries clinging to his skin, and subsequently, yours.

“Sweetheart, just, mmhn, five more minutes, please?”

And with such darling grey eyes batting their long lashes at yours, who would you be to not comply? <33

Sharing a cramped twin bed with your dearest hyena Ruggie most nights wasn’t the best arrangement in the world, but it was yours and who were you to complain? Not when your sweetheart’s legs would entwine with yours like the world’s loveliest puzzle pieces, his face squashed into your chest(not that he was complainin’ or anything, of course), almost hiding the practically high school girlish giggles he’d make when you’d card your fingers through his hair.

“Geez, Leona won’t mind as long as I’m not too late…c’mon, lemme stay ‘ere a while more…you wouldn’t kick your boyfriend out, right?”

And with such a convincing argument, how could you disagree? <3333

Cuddling with your darling boyfie Azul means finding out that octopuses really do have eight arms, even in human form - your dearest’s fingers pressing and pinching into every area of skin he could reach, slipping his hands underneath your night shirt to trace hearts into your back’s bare skin, face shyly buried into the soft expanse of your stomach.

“ ‘M pearl… allow me a few more minutes, please?”

And with such a hardworking lover, why would you take away your dear’s well earned rest? <33333333

back to the teahouse menu?

[akisteahouse]

Thinking about parenting with Savannaclaw…

Synopsis: in home economics, you get randomly assigned to a partner to raise a ‘child’ - a robot baby meant to simulate a real infant’s needs. Things definitely get… interesting, to say the least.

Leona Kingscholar!

had to do this before when he was a 3rd year. failed because he paid Ruggie to take care of the kid for him.

almost immediately attempted to pass the kid off to Ruggie to take care of AGAIN, muttering something about ‘not needing to deal with another runt’ before caving after you begged argued threatened blackmailed him not to.

DID, HOWEVER pay Ruggie to assemble the cot for you two - less work is less work, though, so your not too upset about it.

didn’t give two shits about naming the kid, even if you insist - you two WOULD’VE ended up with the name Pillowcase if not for Jack’s interference(thanks, Jack) so now you have a lion cub beastman named Kitty.

Kitty likes to sleep a lot!… is the assumption you have whenever it’s your turn to take care of her, when in reality she absolutely DOES NOT.

she’ll actually just put Leona through the seven rings of hell when it’s his shift(you guys decided on the divorced kid arrangement sorry man,) - running around Savanaclaw, somehow getting on a blast cycle and riding it, nearly falling a hundred feet from the sky after gripping onto a broom that someone was using…

speaking of grip, yeah she’s one of those babies with a hella strong grip.

you let her hold your finger ONCE and by the time she let go, it was all red…

Leona got baby food chucked onto his face one too many times while trying to feed her, suffice to say Ruggie nearly had his pay cut after snickering a little too much…

at some point he caved and got a baby carrier fashioned from some scarf he never used and resorted to simply carrying Kitty around everywhere he went.

didn’t bat an eye when he had to return Kitty back, but if you look reeeeeal closely… you can see him staring at the scarf he’d used to carry Kitty for more than just a few seconds…

Ruggie Buuchi!

actually one of the best partners to get - already has practice after taking care of the kids from the slums, plus the previous year where Leona got him to take care of his fake kid.

names the kid Donut the Second. bet you can’t guess what he named Leona’s kid.

somehow able to supervise Donut while running Leona’s errands AND fully assembled a nursery for the hyena cub in his dorm room(so now you HAVE to bunk with him. your fault for not being quicker :/ )

Donut’s a biter kid. it’s pretty self explanatory. (nibbling on anything he can get his little hands on… Ruggie’s bed frame, blankets, nearly giving the both of you a heart attack when you noticed Ruggie’s wallet was gone. for different reasons.)

originally planned to leave you with Donut when he had to go to his part-time job, but decided that the extra pity cash he could get from being a single father(LIES you had class) would be more worth it. hence why he had Donut in a sling while he served customers in the Monstro Lounge.

smug as hell when Donut said his name before yours. (you argued that since people were constantly calling Ruggie over, Donut had more chances to hear his name.)

chill throughout the return process, but now calls you over to help him do chores since he did do most of the child-raising, shyhehehe.

Jack Howl!

claims for this to be ‘just another pair project’ but no amount of tsundere-ing could hide how his tail nearly knocked over another student’s chair when he got to hold your fake-robot-baby-thing.

named your kid Flora. idk what to tell you the dude named all his cacti it only made sense he would be the one to name your kid as well.

not ONCE did he look at his kid and think…”wow… this is fragile” because he held his younger siblings when they were born and was very, very aware of how easily breakable infants are.(also broke numerous plant pots when he wasn’t paying attention to his strength. yeah he learnt many lessons on how to control it.)

assembled in the cot in your dorm(didn’t want to impose by staying but CLEARLY didn’t want to let go of Flora) and helped watch Flora at the same time.

also insisted on Flora staying with you because he owns far too many cacti and his room was thus an unsafe environment.

hooray, you got the active infant variant of child! no like she actually moves around a lot. like seriously a lot. like got-on-top-of-the-dorm-roof-in-less-than-five-minutes-flat-a-lot.

gave both you and Jack heart attacks when you saw her underneath one of the track club’s collapsible hurdle, pudgy arm sticking up, about to touch the hurdle and nearly crush herself…

suffice to say you and Jack are now essentially always on the lookout for a runaway baby. and that Flora isn’t allowed in track club. or any club for that matter.

nearly crashed out giving Flora back, ears downturned and tail sagging to the floor, all kicked puppy like… :((((

overall super good partner, just expect to see him moping around for a few days after giving your not-child back.

CHRISTMAS? WHAT’S THAT? ☆

celebrating Christmas with clueless Savannaclaw! border credits to @magicpaint !

Leona Kingscholar! Who winced at the very thought of a holiday, meant to be spent in blissful silence and a warm napping spot, centred around family - the very notion of having to go home and deal with that little furball any more than he already did sending shivers down his spine. Yeah, he’d pass on that. Despite all his complaints and wariness about Christmas, he still allowed for the rest of the dorm members to put up decorations of all kinds around the dorm(even telling them to move some of them up higher since a few of the lower hanging ones had knocked against his skull while he was walking around - a bit of a low bar to set, but he’d participated regardless, so that was a win in your book) and even handed out his wallet to you to buy a pine tree after you’d mentioned it once, waving you off with a look in his eye that was an odd mix of exasperation and fondness(tail swaying from side to side when you’d returned, using his magic to help you place the tree exactly where you requested, never complaining no matter how much of a single molecule you’d wanted to move it - “Becomin’ soft-hearted,” in Ruggie’s words, and even the irritated twitch of Leona’s ears couldn’t hide the way his tone softened just a little whenever you were around). Gruffly approaching you on Christmas Day, snowflakes lightly dancing in the crisp air as the cool breeze cocooned and swirled around the both of you, making the flush on his face apparent - it really had to be cold then, huh? “There you are. I’ve been lookin’ for you since this morning. There’s a book fair happening at Crane Town today.” Taking his words as a not-so subtle invitation, you agreed to accompany him on his little trip - taking in the seemingly neverending hustle and bustle of the port even in the winter chill, watching the people at their booths sell and pitch their wares. Bending down just a little to inspect a particularly interesting book when a ribbon of something tickled the side of your cheek, turning only to see strands of mahogany and Leona sidled right next to you, his emerald greens where your very own eyes were just a second ago - the title of the book you had your eye on. “Excuse me, ma’am. Mind wrapping this up for me?” Handing you the book a few moments after he’d received it, nearly bashful, walking away when you tried to thank him in an attempt to hide his darkened cheeks, yet unsuccessful due to accidentally showing you his tail, swinging back and forth. “Let’s go already. Hurry up.” <33

Ruggie Buuchi! Who, after hearing you talk about some guy called Santa Claus while doing the laundry, found the idea of celebrating Christmas to be particularly rewarding - and sure, even thinking of some random stranger entering his house made him feel a special kind of nauseous(because what if the guy tried to steal something or pull a stunt? Ruggie would fight with all his might, definitely, but with how you described this Santa, there was no way he could defend himself, Granny and all the kids from him) but if he could convince Leona to let you two hold a little Christmas celebration of your own, then he could totally score some free gifts and maybe a couple thaumarks from odd jobs, all on Leona’s card and orders. In other words, a foolproof plan! After just a little bit of convincing on his end and a lot of pestering from yours, strings of rosemary and holly were getting looped and swirled around each and every wall of Savannaclaw, scarlet berries standing out among the laces of green - Ruggie’s ears flattening to the side of his head like a disappointed cat when you told him that holly berries were actually poisonous, sulking about for about half a second before you told him about how cranberries were practically a Christmas ingredient staple, and even offered to make something of the fruit for him(something he clearly appreciated, based on how his tail, as short and bushy as it was, started to wag at your words.) Agreeing to join you in Christmas tree hunting when you’d talked about it once, taking off his thick, knitted scarf to curl around your neck, mindlessly batting his hand when you’d thanked him for the gesture, choosing to just head into the tree farm, with his fingers wrapped around your wrist all the while. Measuring, examining, scrutinizing each row of fragrant pine with Ruggie in tow, thick work gloves on - finally finding and cutting down the perfect tree after an hour or two of searching, the both of you reaching the mutual decision to sit together on the stump of your perfect tree, sharing a flask of hot chocolate you’d packed along - Ruggie trying his best to ignore how you’d drank from the same bottle and that it technically was an indirect kiss, though it didn’t seem to work very well, with not only how his tongue burned from the chocolate(that he had gulped down far too quickly)but also his cheeks, and how his ears twitched in excitement from being just so close to you, back practically pressed against each other. “We chose a pretty nice tree, didn’t we? Should fetch a pretty nice buck after we sell it. Just kidding! Shyheeheehee! Today was pretty fun, huh? …thanks for letting me come along. Now, let’s go! We still have to move that tree back, y’know?” <33333

Jack Howl! Who had eagerly joined in on celebrating Christmas when you talked about the vast array of winter sports that people did during the season, including skiing (something he did a lot back home in the Shaftlands, when the snow became packed and smooth enough for curving and stability)and snowboarding (learnt by him first from his dad before he’d passed it down to siblings). But if he were to choose his favourite of them all, then it just had to be sledding - the rush of adrenaline from the cool air whipping into his ears, the way the sled would speed so fast everything but the view in front of him would blur… it was the best feeling, seriously! And what better way to celebrate the holiday than sledding with you in the snow? Lending you a pair of thick, wooly mittens when you’d mentioned not having all the gear you had needed, tail wagging back and forth in excitement when the snow became just right for sledding - so excited, in fact, that he’d dialed you on that day immediately, asking if you could come down so you two could start, right before he’d composed himself and went back to his usual act(“I mean, I was only asking because you brought it up the other time…”). Clambering behind you in the makeshift sled the both of you had made out of a laundry basket and some rope, mostly due to how large and bushy his tail was - gripping the handle(the rope you’d attached) together, so close that your digits would nearly press against each other, so close that your legs were mere millimeters away from touching, so mind-numbingly close he could hear the rise and fall of your chest, the way you breathed in and out. The frosty winter chill fading into the background as the sled dived down the snow covered slope the both of you had chosen as your starting point, the freezing current billowing past your ears, your exhilarated shouts melting and blending into a singular shared one, sled turning right-left-right-left to speed past obstacles so fast that it made your head spin, finally coming to a stop after your sled(laundry basket plus rope and tape) had run out of gusto, Jack and you both equally breathless. “Let's do it again! Though maybe we should start from a higher vantage point this time…” <333333
