I tried to keep this gender Neutral so please tell me if you find anything off. Criticism is more than appreciated, just keep it friendly please. This is my first time doing something like this, please enjoy.)
Britannia Academy~ First day
Merlin slowly entered her sibling’s room, making sure not to make a sound. Usually, Merlin didn’t do anything like this. Pranks were stupid and not worth her time. However, you wouldn’t get up, and you had promised to get up early. In middle school, you were horrible with that sort of thing. You would never wake up. This was just Merlin getting some well deserved revenge. You needed to get used to waking up, this year the school had implemented dorms. It was like Hogwarts in the sense of being a house where each person was to stay. Merlin had transferred to Camelot just that year, since she had a lot of kids from that house who she tutored. Switching of houses happened often, your sisters friend, Meliodas, transferred from the Demon House to Liones. Elizabeth transferred from Angel realm to Liones, as well. That didn’t mean Merlin was waking you up every day. Can you think of a better way to learn that than getting ice-cold water poured on you while you are sleeping? Apparently, Merlin couldn’t. She lifted the blanket for a split second, and dumped the water and ice. “Ahhhhhhhh! COLD, COLD!” You looked Merlin up and down, “Seriously, Merlin? I thought you were above that!” You yelled while Merlin just snickered. “You told me you would wake up on time, guess who didn’t do that?” You rolled your eyes, and got out an outfit. Though you were expected to wear at least one piece of clothing from the original uniform they gave the students. You decided on wearing the red and gold lined school blazer, the colors standing for Camelot House. As well as a skirt and a turtleneck, for the Academia aesthetic you were feeling, currently. You put on some jewelry, did whatever felt right at that moment. You grabbed your suitcase, and stepped out of your house with Merlin, who was waiting by her car, swinging her keys around. She motioned for you to get in with your bag. “Are you going to run for House Board this year, for Camelot?” You asked Merlin, looking through the Brochure they handed everyone at open house. “No, I am already the Treasurer of the Liones house.” She stated, with her eyes still on the road. “Okay, a few things with that. 1. How are you already the Treasurer when we haven’t started school? 2. How are you the Treasurer of Liones when you are in Camelot now?” You asked, looking to see if anything mentioned what you two were discussing. Spoiler alert: You didn’t find anything. “There isn’t any rule that I have to be a part of Liones to be on the board. Even if it’s recommended. Second, I was on the board last year. They wanted to keep most of the same people since we did well last year.” “I still think it’s wrong.” You told her looking out the window. “What about you?” You turned back to your sister, “Hm?” “Are you going to run for House President? I think you could do it.” Merlin stated, pulling up to the very large academy. It looked more like a University to you, though. “Definitely, I mean- why wouldn’t I? I think I could do it. I am your blood, after all. Though, I’d like to think I am more fun.” “In your dreams.” She boldly stated, getting out of the car and grabbing her stuff, “Come on, I’ll get you settled in. The first few days are usually just what you will do in each class, and of course the whole House Leader thing-” “-That I am definitely going to win.” “Sure, but make sure not to get to caught up in it.” Soon enough, she walked you into the behemoth of a school. If you thought it was like Hogwarts before, it was about to get a lot worse. There was signs leading to each house. Liones was on the North side of the school, while Camelot was directly opposite of that, residing in the south. Giants were west, Fairies in the east. On the map, it showed a huge building on top of the school, which was the Angel building. An arrow pointed down and stated, Demon Realm. It oddly looked a lot like dungeons on the map to you, but you tried not to dwell on it to much. The entrance room was huge. Just above the entrance doors was a whole building in white marble (like the rest of the school) Labeled
Camelot, and had a red and gold flag cascading above the huge door entrances. The stairs leading up there went above the entrance doors, and had balconies in a square around above the room, all the way to Liones House. Liones had two cascading and swirled stairs to intricately designed door arches, with a Silver and Dark Blue flag above it, instead. On the ground to the right, was stones as their Arch, and a dark spruce doors. They had a brown and orange flag, that was a bit tattered, above their doors. To the left, was a very light and airy atmosphere, the opposite of the Giant house. Flowers decorated along the delicate white doors. Above that, of course, was a unique flag. It was a very light green, with not very saturated reds, and mostly pink flowers that were presented on the flag. There was no clear entrance to Demon, or Angel houses, but you assumed they would match the vibe of each house. Below the Liones House, said, “House Guardian Office” with paintings of 6 different people. Three on each side. One of the Demon King, one of the Supreme Deity, First Wielder of Excalibur, King Batra, Gloxinia, as well as Drole. The last two seemed far younger than the rest. You remembered something Meliodas told you about them being more like students than house directors, but they were the only people willing to take the job. Also saying that the Camelot Head is so secretive, he never shows up at the school, or anywhere really. You had met Batra through Elizabeth, he was nice enough. It was the other two you worried for. Merlin lead you up the stairs, straight into the Camelot house. It was somewhat cozy, but still very formal. The living room had a fireplace, but it was huge and very modern. It had paintings of every single House President and Vice- President on a far wall. There was a kitchen, but you assumed people didn’t use it much. The lights were warm toned, but not overwhelming. It had hardwood floors. Red curtains draped across a lot of the huge windows. There were three levels of dorms on each side, not split up by Boy or girl or Non-binary, but instead by year. The first floor, was obviously the first years. Second years, the second floor. Third years, to no ones surprise, were the third floor. There was a hall dedicated to multiple rooms, Camelot Private Library, Camelot Board Meeting room, and several others you couldn’t read from where you stood. A giant red carpet rested under your feet, as well as over in the living room. “Go to that hall, you should find your room. Your name will be on it, and you can unpack your stuff. People will start the ceremony and explain everything at 12. You can find me then. I will be with Meliodas, Elizabeth, the rest of “The Sins” and a few of their friends. I’ll see you later” she informed you, and walked off to your hall. You read the names, you got to about halfway when you spotted it. ‘Lou Ellen, Micheal Yew, Everleigh Andrews, Y/N L/N, Arthur Pendragon. Y/N!’ You doubled back around from where you were. You had gotten room 218, next to someone named Everleigh Andrews and some random dude named Arthur. You walked into your room. There was a whole TV in a living room, as if having one in the house quarters wasn’t enough. A small kitchen, with enough room, but not too much. You made a mental note to head to IKEA or another store with room decor. All you hoped was that this was going to be a good year. You set up your computers and everything else you brought from home. The clock read 11:45, you should try to head over to the Ceremony soon. Which was being held in the auditorium. Guess what? That was eccentric and over-the-top as well. There had to be around a million seats and people there. You called out to Merlin, but you only got drowned out by the talking of the crowd. It was a miracle you heard your phone ring. It was Elizabeth, you clicked the answer button. “Where are you all? I can’t find you guys here!” You shouted into the phone, hoping she would hear you over all of these people. “We are on the tenth row, 15th section from the left, so um… I think that’s the
middle one” She told me, “I’m waving my hands, it shouldn’t be that hard to see me. Meliodas is, too.” “Well, I definitely won’t see him.” You snorted and walked over to where you thought they were. “That was cold, Y/N. Real cold.” You heard Meliodas in the background, even if only faintly. “It’s true, you shouldn’t even try.” You heard another Demon in your group talk. “Like you can talk, Zeldris!” “Why do you think I didn’t try? Oh, hi Y/N. Gelda is going to get here soon as well.” “Hold on, I think I see you guys!” You tell them, heading over to Elizabeth. You barely saw one hand above her head, which must have been Mel’s attempt at waving his arms. You saw Helbram, King, and Diane. There was no Elaine or Ban, though. Gowther stood in front of Meliodas’s seat. Two empty seats sat next to Elizabeth, which were saved for you and Merlin. Then in a row were some of your friends, Gil, Howzer, Griamore, Veronica, Margaret, Guila, and Jericho all sat in a row next to you. Everyone you knew was here. Everyone but Merlin and Escanor, and Ban and Elaine, that is. The stage was enormous, with red curtains covering whatever was behind it. “Where is everyone else? They should be here right?” You asked Meliodas and Elizabeth. “Merlin was telling some first-year information about the ceremony, he’s in the first year group she’s directing.A bunch of the 3rd years are giving you guys advice and tips for your year here.” King explained, “I’m directing the Fairy class, Mel the Liones class, Diane is doing the Giant class, Mael: angels, and Zeldris- well you get the point.” “Which sucks since I was trying to switch to Liones. I don’t even like my House.” Zeldris said, crossing his arms. Gelda patted his back reassuringly. Merlin entered with Escanor behind her. She walked over to our section. You were pretty sure you saw her holding his hand for a split second. “Hello, has it started?” Merlin sat in the seat next to you, with Escanor behind you. “No, it is set to start soon though.” Diane leaned her head on King’s shoulder. You heard a ‘tsk’ from the seat in front of you. A puffy blond boy sat there, arms crossed and glaring at the empty seat beside him. “He should be here by now.” He stated, before glaring forward at the curtains. Merlin looked up at the top of the auditorium, then tapped the boys shoulder and pointed in the direction of a red-head, rushing towards your direction. Probably with a clock and yelling ‘I’m late! I’m very, very late’. Red rabbit scooted over people to fill the empty seat next to the blonde boy. “I’m sorry, Kay. I had to get my stuff set up.” He apologized. “When you have no idea about the school rules, I’m not helping you.” Kay stated. “It hasn’t even started!” Not long after, the curtains pulled away. Gloxinia stood up there with Drole, who were waving in Meliodas’ direction. They graduated last year, but they were more like students then some of the actual students were. So much for “Guardians”. The Supreme Deity stood on Demon King’s Left, not next to, because they were about 11 feet apart. The Camelot Guardian was no where to be seen. Batra had to do his speech for him. While Batra was talking, the ginger turned back to your sister. “That was the man I told you about.” He said, pointing to Batra. “Really? That’s Batra , Arthur. He’s the guardian of the Liones house” she informed him, pointing at Elizabeth’s Dad. Arthur frowned, “Well I know that now.” You didn’t know who this kid was, but you knew there was someone named Arthur Pendragon who you were neighbors with. You didn’t dwell on it to much, though. The ceremony lasted a few hours, after their speeches, Gloxinia and Drole came to sit with us. “That was too long and boring! At least now, as guardians, the Fairy and Giant Houses came practically do whatever they want.” Gloxinia stated, putting his feet on the seat of the kid in front of him. “We might have to actually do work, Gloxinia.” Drole crossed his arms and looked at him. Helbram, threw his arms up in the air. “A party and some freedom sounds awesome!” King frowned
and lightly smacked Helbram. “How were you even on the Fairy Council last year?” “Because everyone loves me.” Meliodas perked up. “Speaking of love,” he changed the subject, “where are Ban and Elaine?” King paused for a second, then stormed off yelling “Ban! You sneaky little-“ before slamming the exit doors behind him. “I’m going to go get him before he kills Ban.” Diane turned away, heading towards the exit, “It was nice seeing you again Y/N!” “You too Diane!” You turned back to your original position, with the ginger boy, “Arthur”, staring straight at you. “Do you need something?” He faltered for a second then asked “Are you a first year in the Camelot House?” With him closer, you could make out his features. He had bright amethyst eyes that had the slightest cat-eye, and a childish expression. His orange hair was mostly slicked back, or it looked like it was attempted but kept messing up, except for a giant cowlick that came across the left of his face. He had smile lines, which added up with his cheerful personality. “Yeah I am, why do you ask?” “I’m Arthur! Are you running for House President?” He asked, speaking at about a million miles an hour in a happy-go-lucky-tone. You weren’t sure how to respond at first. Why did he want to know so badly anyways? “Oh, yes I am, actually.” You flashed a small smile, or… more of a smirk. You just had to be confident, right? “Oh, that’s a shame. I am running also!” He stuck his hand out in front of yours. “May the best man win-“ You were startled, he was very bold and outgoing for your taste. Friendly, maybe? Though it could have been for a vote or a good impression. Those eyes said otherwise, those eyes… “-or any other gender./I will..” You added, trying to get your focus on the conversation. You needed to stop trying to figure this guy out. Hopefully somebody wouldn’t get the wrong idea. He laughed awkwardly, “Sorry, I guess I forgot to add that. My mistake. Anyway, I’ll see you later! Good luck!” He ran off in the other direction. Anything he said in that sentence could have been teasing or trying to make you aggravated. “May the best man win”, “Oh, sorry I forgot to add that. My mistake~” But you didn’t think that was the intention. He was genuine through and through. Though he did seem like he was pretty cocky. “So-“ Meliodas stopped your train of thought dead in its tracks, “Does our little Y/N have something going on with this boy?” Darn it. You were waiting for it. Leave it up to Mel to make any and every situation that much more uncomfortable for you. “Not at all. You do seem to tease me any chance you get, don’t you?” Meliodas smiled, “Yup.” He said, popping the ‘p’, “But you were pretty sus when you were staring into his eyes.” Big brother Zeldris decided to enter the conversation as well. Yippee. “Y/N has a boyfriend?” He asked, though it sounded more like a statement than a question, “Please tell me it isn’t someone from the Demon House. Most of them suck, and it would be so awkward. They would try to break your heart, and we would have to pound them into the ground.” That escalated quickly. Mel shook his head, “Nah, you’ll see for yourself when it’s time. Young love.” “I just met the dude Mel. Also, you say that about every boy I’ve ever talked to. Remember the waiter at Chiles?” “He was so checking you out.” Elizabeth rolled her eyes, “Mel, they have a point. They don’t have anything going on with that Arthur boy. Although the waiter was looking at you a lot.” “Not helping El.” You told the girl. “Right, sorry Y\N! We just love and want to protect you. Or tease you,” she nudged Meliodas, ”apparently.” Gelda shrugged, “Whatever happens, I’ll be there to give you advice. Though I’m not sure I’ll be much help since I’m dating a short emo boy. Those don’t seem to be your type.” Zeldris crossed his arms, “I’m not that short.” Gelda patted his head. “Sure you aren’t.” “Yeah, maybe not.” You said, while Meliodas smiled, waiting for the opportunity. “So what is your type?” He leaned over Merlin, who put her knee up, kicking Mel in the
face. He startled back for a bit, before him and everyone else pretended like nothing happened. “I don’t have a “type”. I like boys that are kind, and caring. Also responsible.” Howzer stood up straight and put his arm over on your chair. “I think we know what that means.” Gilthunder put his hand on Howzer’s back “It means it’s not you. It’s okay, Howzer. You won’t be single forever.” “So…. The boring ones?” Was the conclusion Meliodas came to. “No! Ugh- Meliodas, you are the worst.” You crossed your arms. “That has always been a strange phrase to me. You think the miners that were stuck down in those mines, with no food or water, were like. ‘Bro, this is bad, really bad. But you know what’s worse?When your older brother figure starts teasing you about your love life. That. That is the WORST’. “ Merlin smiled, “For your information, that was Arthur Pendragon. He’s a nice boy. We’ve all talked to him before. I’m sure you two could be friends. He’s as smart as he is sweet.” Meliodas snickered, “While you, Y/N. Are as spiteful as you are smart. I’m sure you two can be great friends.” Merlin glared at him. Then stood up. “Come on, we should get back to The Camelot Common room. It’s been over for a while.” Escanor stoop up, only to get on one knee. ”Goodbye, lady Merlin! And Y/N! May you both be of good fortune. I look forward to our morning classes and spending time together tomorrow night, Miss Merlin!” You shot a look at Merlin, when you two were out of sight. “So… you two have, like- a date?” Merlin stopped flipping through her book and started subtly messing with the pages. She was nervous, but to anyone who didn’t know her very well, there was nothing abnormal. She was above confident and collected at the moment. Her smirk turned into an actual smile for a quick second before fading. “I wouldn’t call it a date.” “I think you better tell him that.” “You should focus on your own studies instead of my love life.” “Merlin, school hasn’t even started. I’m sure I will do great. Just wait and see.” Merlin stopped and turned to you. “I was being serious about what I said earlier. About Arthur. He is a good kid, and you need to be friendly with people. Outside of our current friend group. I know Arthur very well, but he’s not “in the group” it would be a good place to start.” “Sure, I’ll make a note of that. “ you told her, but you weren’t really interested in what she had to say. Merlin rolled her eyes, and waved goodbye to you when you got to the dorms. The time read 5:00 pm. The ceremony lasted longer than you expected. You had enough time to take a walk. This school was so huge, you had a map on the back of your schedule. You could stop by some classes, and figure things out. You could stop by Veronica and Margaret’s. However, they were second years. You could ask Guila and Jericho, but they were still in Liones. They wouldn’t have the same classes. Neither would Merlin, since she is a third year. Maybe you could ask that Arthur boy… no, you could do this yourself. And explaining why would be very awkward. ‘Hey, could you come explore the school with me? I don’t have any friends in this grade and house.’ Yeah, that wasn’t an option. Merlin had a point, you really should make friends here. This wouldn’t be as good of a year if you didn’t. You stepped out of your dorm, and locked the door. You left your bag in the room, hopefully you wouldn’t need anything. You walked down one of the halls to find English. Why did we need to have a whole class dedicated to a language we already know? You stepped down a short flight of stairs, missing the last step completely. Sometimes you wondered if you were even related to Merlin. You tumbled forward, the only thought in your head being- “Oh for the love of Purgatory-“ You landed on something. You felt yourself steady for a bit. Hopefully someone caught you. Your body leaned over, and you landed on the cold, hard floor. So much for somebody catching you. Something bright and orange waved in front of your eyes. “Hello? Are you okay? Oh no! I killed her! Kay?
Call 9-1-1!” You rose up with a groan, your eyes widened to see Arthur hovering over you. “Oh thank heavens. They’re alive. Sorry…. um- I never got your name.” He awkwardly fumbled “….Y/N L/N,” “Hey! That’s Merlin’s last name! Are you her sibling?!” His eyes shined, he looked like he just solved a difficult case. “Yeah, actually. So, what happened?” You rose “Oh! That” He rose up, and put his hand out for you to get up with a blush. “Yeah, I tried to catch you. It worked for a split second, but then we both fell in different directions.” You hesitated for a second, you knew something like that happened, but it was still weird to hear. “Thanks, Arthur” desperately wanting to get off of that topic, you turned to Kay. “Who are you?” Kay scowled, “That must have been the rudest way to ask me my name I have ever heard.” He wanted to play that game? Alright, “Oh! I’m sorry, let me just- Oh hello blond boy! I would desperately like to know your name as I am so intrigued by your persona and attitude. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to listen to what I have to say. I am greatly in your debt.” You said, laying on the sarcasm even more than usual. It wasn’t the most witty form of comedic relief, ( least it wasn’t puns, because they are the lowest form of comedy, sorry, you geeked out for a bit) but it was always a lot of fun. Arthur let out an awkward smile, trying to be the balance in the middle of the chaos. “Alright, that’s enough.” Arthur stepped in between you two. “…I had better get going, I’ll see you two later” you said, heading back to your dorm. What was that? “Oh thanks for trying to break my fall, BYE!” That whole conversation was so awkward! You gave a small wave as Kay and Arthur continued a conversation, you didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but that’s what happened. “They are a lot like their sister, they are confident and smart, from what I’ve seen.” Arthur shared his thoughts. You doubted that was true based on the conversation you just had with him, but okay. “She’s got a good chance of winning.” “That’s true! I can always try, though. No matter what happens we are probably both ending up on the council.” Kay pondered what he was going to say for a while, then looked at his brother with a smug look. “They are kind of pretty.” “I guess, they are polite as well. I think we could be friends” Kay raised his hand to his forehead, “They are not. They are extremely rude. And I meant, They are going to be difficult to beat. They have all that going for them. That means, you might not win, idiot.” “-and you are happy about that?” “I couldn’t care less.” You decided to walk away. You hadn’t even remembered the election till they brought it up. Kay was very rude as well. Wait… wasn’t the English classroom the other direction? You were NOT going back in that direction. You could just go back to the dorms. That sounded the best at that moment. You were sure you could figure it out in the morning.
