Okay but imagine: The NRC boys arrive at Fleur City for glomas and get roped into dancing with the towns' people as part of the daytime celebration, dressed in their masks and costumes
Silver and Malleus end up dancing with each other, nobody noticing yet how Rollo and a few Noble Bell students (Who are actually his more trusted lackies) have come to "greet" them. In reality, Rollo's brought them for his "look at them, disgusting mages" shpeel.
Naturally, his eyes immediately catch onto Malleus.
And the... Strangely beautiful boy dancing with him. At first, Rollo tells himself he's looking at Malleus, why would he be looking anywhere else?
But then, maybe its part of the routine or something, but Silver removes his mask. Revealing his gorgeous face to the crowd in full, his gentle smile and soft eyes.
Rollo feels weak, he can't deny he's staring at Silver now. At that inappropriately beautiful boy who's stirring sinful feelings within him. (Literally like Esmeralda and Frollo, but Silver is just minding his own business and Rollo is having his awakening)
Fast forward to the actual masquerade, and as Rollo is finishing the last of his scheme, he runs into Silver. Silver, who's name he learns right then and there, who looks like an angel under the lantern light. Rollo is, of course, very snappy with Silver, even calling him a "temptress" under his breath.
And during the ending scene, as Malleus and Rollo dance, they pass right by Idia and Silver. What are the chances?
Silver, ever loyal, wouldn't hesitate to trade dance partners with his lord (even if Idia's hair goes pink as Malleus finally gets his hands on him)
But now, Rollo's arms are suddenly around Silver, and vice-versa, and for the remainder of their dance and after their departure, Rollo can only stew in hate and other feelings..
Why does he still see Silver dancing there? Why do those auroal eyes scorch his soul? He sees it still, the light caught in his silver hair. It blazes in him out of all control, like hell fire.
and now that beautiful, gentle mage is gone.

Not OPM-related, sorry folks - but I’m writing a new fic on AO3! It inserts the characters of Hank Anderson and Connor (from Detroit: Become Human) into the world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It is slow burn Hankcon featuring monsters, emotional constipation, and our favourite lieutenant and android duo as a witcher and a vampire.
Please feel free to check it out! I’d love to hear your feedback.
Fear not: this blog is and will always be saigenos/genosai-centric. But, at the end of the day, I am a content creator with various interests, and will occasionally write for fandoms other than One Punch Man. If you have no interest in this, and only want to see OPM reblogs from me, please block/mute the tag “not OPM-related”. Happy Tumbling!
