Forgotten Items
Leona Kingscholar is a lot of things, but forgetful isnât one of them. So why does he keep leaving behind his wallet at your dorm?
Leona Kingscholar x gn!reader. Unestablished relationship. Leona cares about you more than he wants to admit.
A significant amount of time had passed since you and Grim first started fixing up the guest room in Ramshackle Dorm. The two of you had worked tirelessly (or rather, you had done most of the work while that lazy furball lounged around devouring endless cans of tuna leaving the empty ones scattered everywhere, creating even more work for youâŚ) But, despite the setbacks, you managed to gather the right materials and use your newly acquired magitool to craft intricate pieces of furniture. Eventually, you furnished the guest room exactly as you envisioned, feeling satisfied with how everything had come together.
But what was a guest room without guests? Naturally, you began inviting your friends over to hang out. The Heartslabyul duo, Ace and Deuce, were among the first, followed by plenty of others. Soon enough, you had a steady stream of visitors from all seven dorms
With guests came feedback, and you gladly considered their suggestions to improve the space. This was especially important to you because there was one particular guest you hadnât invited just yet â this was none other than Leona Kingscholar, the notoriously picky Savanaclaw dorm leader.
You knew Leona had high standards when it came to his lounging spots, so you wanted to create a space even the particular lion prince would find comfortable. Once you were satisfied with the roomâs cozy atmosphere, you extended more invitations â including one to Leona himself.
What was his reaction to the guest room you ask? Well in his exact words:
âHm. It's less dusty than the lounge. Guess you're serious about hostin' people here.â
He said with a sly, teasing smile, his gaze sweeping over the room with apparent indifference. Sure, it wasnât exactly glowing praise â but coming from Leona, youâd take it.
However, despite his seeming indifference to the room, after the first few invitations, Leona started showing up frequently â and unannounced. Not that you minded. In fact, you found it pretty amusing (and oddly endearing) to see the lion prince sprawled out on your couch, napping away as if the room were his own. Chances were, he was dodging his dorm leader responsibilities. Or maybe Ruggieâs nagging, either way, you didnât complain.
As more of your friends would visit you and use the space as either a hangout spot, a place to relax, or as a study room it wasnât uncommon for them to leave things behind. Some of the things you would find ranged from Aceâs playing cards (that boy never tired of showing off his card tricks), Vilâs mauve nail polish, Orthoâs power cable, Jadeâs tea guide andâŚTreyâs portable dental hygiene kit? (OkayâŚwell someone certainly cares about their teeth it seems! Thatâs not weird at allâŚGood for him!)
Like the good host and friend you were, you always made sure to return everyoneâs belongings as soon as you saw them again. And after misplacing their things a couple of times, most of your friends got the message and stopped forgetting their stuff so frequently.
Except for himâŚ
Leona, for some reason, no matter how many times you returned his designer wallet, would always, always, always forget it somewhere in your guest room. It was strange, really. There was no way he was that careless. Aloof as he may be, he wasnât the type to be so absentminded, especially with something as important as his wallet.
But, little did you know that the lion prince was doing it on purpose. Obviously, someone as observant as Leona wouldnât constantly leave his belongings behind unless⌠it was intentional. And in this case, it definitely was. Just like how heâd âaccidentallyâ overpay Ruggie or âcarelesslyâ leave his wallet out in his room for his sticky fingers to find, he was doing the same thing with you. He wanted you to take the hint and use it to fix up this dingy dorm of yours. But you just werenât getting it.
The first time you returned his wallet, he was a little confused but didnât outright show it.
âMy wallet? I left it in your dorm?⌠thanks I guessâŚâ
Alright. Maybe it just didnât click for you yet. Heâd try again.
âHah?⌠AgainâŚthanksâŚâ
The second time, he expected you to understand. But no. You just handed it back to him like before.
Fine. Maybe he had to be more obvious. This time, heâd leave it right in plain sight. On the coffee table that Grim had proudly dedicated to displaying his empty tuna cans (his contribution to the dĂŠcor, if that wasnât obvious enough).
But there you were, cleaning the guest room again only to find that once again, Leona had forgotten his wallet. You have to return it to him of course!
And so the cycle continued. Over and over again. Each time, he made it more obvious, certain that this time, youâd finally take the hint. But no. You just kept giving it back.
At this point, Leona was exasperated.
Alright, herbivore, just how dense are ya?! Do ya seriously need me to spell it out for ya?! He thought internally.
He felt like his intentions were so obvious. But was he going to outright tell you? No, of course not. Heâd rather keep up this nonsense than admit, out loud, that⌠he cared about you enough to want to subtly provide for you. He wanted you to have enough to buy yourself something nice, to make this dorm a little nicer, or even buy Grim that fancy tuna if it makes you happy. But since you were clearly too dense to understand, heâd just keep âforgettingâ his wallet until you finally got the message.
Or were you really that dense?âŚ
Little did the poor, frustrated lion prince knowâyou were well aware of what he was doing. You had figured it out long ago. But, well⌠watching the gradual frustration build on his face every time you handed his wallet back was just a little too entertaining for you to end the game so soon!
So, you decided to keep it going.
Whether youâd take pity on his frustration or wait until he finally snapped and admitted he cared about youâthat remained to be seen. But for now, you were more than happy to let him suffer just a little bit longer.

Authorâs Note: So I was struck with inspiration to write! My school work lessened up a bit too! I wrote this based off a post I saw that said that Leona leaving his wallet behind in the guest room in the game was really on brand for him. So, I came up with this! I hope you enjoy! - đŹ (also posted to ao3 :)
