"WAIT!" your body jolted up, an arm stretched out as if you're trying to grab onto nothing. you were awakened from the dream you just had, sweating and breathing heavily. your eyes started to scan the room you're currently in, still breathing heavily. you noticed the room layout; it is indeed your room. a heavy sigh escaped your mouth as you replayed the dream over and over again like a video tape of a bad memory, constantly on loop and hunting you. it's not the first time you've dreamed of the same situation and it seemed to be engraved into your mind ever since the day it happened.
right when you were about to pull the comforter over your body, you heard a soft knock on the door of the room. fear started to engulf you as you recalled, you've been living alone for almost a year so who could that be? and at 2 am that is. suddenly, the door knob was turned and the door was pushed, revealing a silhouette of a familiar figure.
"i went to grab a glass of water, did i wake you up?"
you weren't sure how to react to the sudden reveal. it was none other than your friend, Akaashi Keiji. but he looked different, way more matured to be exact. questions filled your mind, what is he doing here? how did he get here? what is happening?
"k-keiji .." you muttered, eyes nailed to the male with a glass of water in his hand. "w-what are you doing here?"
he looked at you weirdly, but then a smile appeared on his face that you've missed so much. for years you've been waiting for his return after he left to further his studies. he walked closer to you, closing the gap between the two of you as he sat next to you on the bed, handling you the glass of water to which you gladly took.
"nightmares again? you really should stop watching horror movies before bed time, love." he chuckled, his hands now slowly making their way to yours, slowly and gently holding yours in his.
you're more than confused at his answer. love? you felt overwhelmed by the current situation as you felt a stream of tears rolled down your cold cheek. you wanted an explanation from him, you wanted more than just his presence there to soothe the stabbing pain in your heart. and so you bravely asked him.
"keiji, i don't understand. why are you here? a-and why are you in my room?" you bombarded him with questions, getting frustrated at the amount of unanswered questions in your throbbing head. you clenched your fist at your frustration and your sob grew louder as your head hung low.
akaashi was taken aback by your sudden outburst. he didn't know what has gotten into you. but he remained calm, his thumb caressing your clenched fist. this is all so wrong, you thought.
you raised your head only to meet his confused expression, probably not understanding why're you acting so weird. you had realised that your sudden tantrum put him in a position where he's questioning your sanity.
"y/n, i think you should sleep first." he tried to calm you down, gently pushing you to lie down but you remained frozen.
"but keiji , where are you going to sleep?" you hesitantly asked.
again, he was confused. he didn't know why were you so clueless considering that he remembered how you were completely fine before you went to bed. "what do you mean 'where'? of course i'll sleep next to my wife right here."
"h-huh..?"
your pace quickened when you noticed that you're running late to class. 10 more minutes before class and you're still on your way walking to the school.
"come on, come on. why are there so many cars today?" you cursed out, frantically tapping your feet on the ground.
not long after that, you felt a sudden gush of wind washed all over you. you glanced to your left side and your eyes met with a teenager on his bike trying to catch his breath from possibly the frantic cycling he just did.
"akaashi?!" you exclaimed.
the male turned his head to face you. his tie hung loose with the first two buttons of his shirt were left unbuttoned. you couldn't help but admire the sight before you, how his sweaty hair swung effortlessly from side to side and that good-looking face. who would've thought your childhood friend is actually a handsome young man despite his nonchalant side. but akaashi looked distressed, and in a hurry for sure.
"y/n? why are you still here?"
"seriously, that's your concern? you should look at yourself."
his eyes dropped to take a look at what you mentioned but he only sighed. he raised his hand and his watch stated '8.26'. that's 3 more minutes before the morning bell rings.
"get on."
"w-what?"
"i said get on, we're running late." he pulled your arm to the back of his bike to signal you to get on. and so you put your bag onto the empty seat behind him before sitting on the bag.
"just so you know, this is my first time ri- AAAA!" you were adjusting yourself to sit comfortably so you won't fall when he started cycling later, but that didn't really work when he suddenly sped up, causing you to quickly hug him from behind, holding onto your dearest life.
akaashi's smile turned into a smirk, one hand stayed on the handle while the other grabbed yours which were tightly wrapped around his torso. he didn't say anything but his gesture of caressing his thumb onto your forehand somehow reassured you that you'll make it before the bell rung.
soon after that, the two of you arrived exactly before the bell rung as you waited for him to parked his bike under the roofed area. you were about to leave to your class when you felt a strong grip around your wrist and you turned around to see akaashi smiling at you. your cheeks grew warmer when his face was just inches from yours, causing you to look away to avoid his gaze.
"see me after class?" you didn't get to answer when he suddenly walked past you, leaving a trail of his strong cologne lingered. from far, you can see him being dragged into the school entrance.
it's not the first time he had said that to you but these days, the two of you had been exchanging 'overfriendly' remarks. one that is not normally said between friends. it even sparked some rumours among his volleyball teams. but you've known him for years, even since the two of you were still in diapers. of course this was nothing more than just a normal friend hangout. or so you thought.

kuroo : ...you're practically pressing your face onto the ball. okay you know what, its okay. youre doing well, son. i'm more than proud of you.
"define love."
"how sudden. you're not pulling a prank on me th-"
"just answer it, jamil. please?"
love. four letters, one syllable, thousands of meanings. what could love possibly mean for jamil viper? he gazed into your eyes full of anticipation and oh dear, he knew he needed to be serious about it. but with you by his side, why would he be sceptical about your question? letting his guard down for you would be the best action now. as he turned around to face you, now sitting in front of you with both hands reaching out to bring his lover's hands into his bigger ones. he never have a thought of looking so vulnerable in front of you, not when that question triggered a sense of overflowing love and affection towards his significant other in him.
he didnt dare to look at you in the eyes, afraid he would see disappointment in those sparkly eyes of yours who was expecting a more of a complex answers from him. "love is, putting someone first before you in all occasions."
"and?" you asked, dragging the word further as a signal that you wanted to hear more which jamil replied with a chuckle and a cheeky smile.
"of course. i would expect nothing less from a sunshine like you."
this time, jamil's eyes boldly invited yours into a hot staring for a moment. a reflection of him in your eyes was what ignited the passion in him to continue. those look you gave. its what has always been his serotonin, happy pill, power and strength to continue living despite the difficulties. love. he knew its more than just putting you first in everything you did together.
his thumbs began to create illusions of circle on the back of your hands. "i would risk everything to make you understand how much more than just love you are to me."
pink tint of blush crawled onto your cheeks, hearing those words uttered by jamil like a vow. no, more than that. it sounded like an everlasting promise that he wouldnt dare to break, at least not until death does them apart. "i think you said too much than you mean, jamil."
too much? all he said was a questionable answer, a typical answer from one lover to one lover. he still wanted to say more than just those. he wanted to tell them how much their smile made their days. he wanted to show how much their kiss sparked happiness in him. jamil was completely taken aback to see you doubting his words. did he uses too much of obscure words? he wanted to express how much more than just words his love for them was. he wanted to say and show so much more than just those bullshits from typical classic romance novels he read in his free time.
"no. you asked for this so listen. i want you to look me in the eyes and eat all my words. one by one, not a single crumb should be left." he leaned closer but this time, he left a long-lasting kiss on your forehead. your eyes slowly fluttered to close as your arms found their way over jamil's shoulders and around his neck, pulling him closer to lengthen the kiss. truly, you yearned for more than just a kiss on a forehead. now laying on the mattress with jamil trapping them between his knees still lovingly pouring everything he wanted to say into the kiss, you couldn't help but moved your hands up from the sides to cup his burning cheeks.
pulling away from the kiss, he then rested his forehead on yours. red watery eyes, he's getting emotional with all this affections hes giving to the one whom he wouldnt hesitate to slide a ring on their finger soon. "promise me you'll stay, y/n?"
"but i am here, am i not?"
"forever. through thick and thin, i want you to always be with me, alright?" he couldn't care less. he knew how greedy and desperate he sounded right now but who fucking cares. its not a normal occasion for him to feel this desperate to seek for one's love, especially from whom he called his.
you smiled softly at him before tilting your head to the side. jamil understood immediately, leaning in as their lips intertwined with yours in a dancing-butterflies manner. it sent shivers down your spine, pecks of goosebumps on your arms and those wet intimate kissing sounds echoing in his room. a kiss he always shares with you is different from this one. this one right here is so full of emotions. sadness, happiness, fear, joy, you name it. one he would rarely get to share with you. his lips on yours, how they fit so perfectly with his hand now acted as a support while the other one made its way to your cheek, thumb caressing it oh so lovingly.
he's scared. scared that you might pick up your haste and walk away from him the very next day. it scared him, he didn't even want to pull away but you on the other hand, pulled away for a split second from the kiss to gasp for air.
"you're beautiful, ya amar. so fucking beautiful."
its always those arabic nicknames you get from him that keeps you feeling warm and fuzzy throughout the days. his love language is just as beautiful as his name.
this time, jamil took the lead and leaned closer after he whispered those words with you looking like a mess under him, pulling you into another sloppy long kiss. not giving you a second to process those words he just pledged. there's really no need to rush into the kiss, jamil knew that the best. after all, he's yours. you have always been his to love, his to care for, his to kiss and his to die for. as much as he's devoted to kalim and al-asim's family for generations, his heart is always a devotee of your love.
they parted from the kiss, forehead on forehead. nose brushing against each others. lungs gasping for air from that breathtaking kiss. jamil couldnt get enough of that kiss. the feeling of your cherry lips dancing with his, its a euphoric feeling only he could have.
"if dawn is created to wake me up to continue living, be my dawn. if you're not willing to be my dawn, let me see you as a moon, ya amar."
"why moon, jamil?" you asked softly, eyes never once leaving the fellow's gaze that soften at the sight of your smile to him.
"im giving you the role to witness our love-life cycle."

[ read it on ao3 for the kicks ! ]
Under the guiding light of the moon, they stared at their boyfriend— Jamil Viper’s back; who was very adamantly leading them away from the ruckus his family was making. They just had a lovely dinner with the Vipers, at Jamil's bashful request. They knew his family was busy. But Jamil had come home for the first time in a while, and he brought his partner? They wouldn't have missed it for the world, they claimed!
Throughout the dinner they tried to ignore as Najma kept sending Jamil subtle looks, clearly teasing her older brother. It was kind of funny seeing Jamil frown so outwardly for once, and even funnier watching him nudge Najma in the ribs whenever her comments got a little too loud for his liking.
His parents, meanwhile, had resorted to telling them all about how Jamil was as a child. "He was such a sweet child! He and Lord Kalim used to..." or "Remember that time when he tried to ride a bicycle because Lord Kalim wanted to learn..." or "Ah, that time he entered a competition and won second place next to Lord Kalim..."
Jamil had completely pulled the hood over his head when that had started, no doubt hiding the furious blush raging across his face. They were half-tempted to reach over and pull the hood back, just to see the startled expression on their boyfriend's face. (But they knew he would’ve glared at them if they did, so they refrained.)
But the one thing they noticed was that...his parents couldn't help but mention Kalim all the time. As they were talking about Jamil, praises for the Al-Asim family and the "master" that Jamil served fell from their lips naturally. So naturally, in fact, they couldn't help the stab of disappointment they felt as they kept listening.
Now it was clear to them that no matter how much they loved him, Jamil's wants and needs were always going to be second to their collective duty as the Al-Asim's retainers. They loved him, yet somehow they valued their honor more. Still, they couldn't deny that they were lovely people despite their faults.
As soon as the intention to help clean up after dinner left their lips, Jamil was pulling them away from the table. Jamil's dad chuckled, a deep baritone, picking up all the plates before they could make a grab for them.
"There's no way we would let a guest help out with the chores, little one," Jamil's mom had scolded lightly, giving them a pat on the shoulder.
"I'm sure that Jamil is dying to have you to himself," Najma said, a sweet smile behind her teasing words. "So you guys should go!"
They didn't even get a chance to reply before Jamil was dragging them away. Which brought them back to the present. The hallways were quiet, save for the rustling of their movements. Jamil's hand is warm against theirs as they pass by identical hallways that he must know by heart, the silence a comforting weight against their shoulders.
After a lengthy walk, Jamil finally stopped in front of a door, turning towards them, "Would you like to open it?" They nodded, unsure of what was happening before opening the door.
It opened with a loud creak, startling a squeak out of the Prefect before they stepped inside. There was a bed in the corner, propped underneath a large window overlooking the courtyard below. Slivers of moonlight illuminate the rest of the room: the small, cramped desk, the bookshelf and dresser in one corner, and the framed photos scattered across the wall.
Oh, they realize belatedly. This was Jamil's room. The very one that he must've had since he was a little boy.
They don't dare to take another step, watching as Jamil's hands nursed a lantern to life; its intricate patterns sprawling like spiderwebs across the walls of the darkened room. He sat down on the floor, beckoning them to join him.
"Everything's still the same," His voice was wistful— a mere whisper carried by the cool night breeze; a relieving contrast to the scalding daytime heat.
They sat next to him, watching as he searched for something under his bed. His expression shifted to one seemingly of delight as he found something. Of all the things that he could've been searching for, they didn't expect him to pull out a gramophone. He fixed the horn onto the machine, while they picked up a pair of dated headphones from the box.
"This was where all my amusement would come from when I was younger," Jamil flicked through the many records lined up in the box– truly a treasure trove hidden under his bed. "I remember haggling for these in the markets as I ran my errands. They were stubborn old men, but they never led me astray with music. If they said something was good, it was."
The Prefect couldn't help but chuckle, "Still the same as ever, I see." Their voice was softer than they would've liked, the words lined with the fondness they had in their heart for the one in front of them.
Yet they couldn't help but remember the stereo that Jamil kept in his room back at the Scarabia dorms, a pair of newer headphones attached to it; always. And they had seen the countless DVDs that Jamil had painstakingly collected, all pawned from different shops in the little town at Sage Island.
"Old habits die hard," Jamil's movements were like clockwork as he flipped a record in his hand, sweeping off the dust as he slid it into place.
The gramophone came to life as he moved the needle into place. A simple adjustment to the volume, and there was the sound of a lilting trumpet, accompanied by violins and instruments that they couldn't name filling the room.
Jamil stood as the trumpets kept on, "Come on, Prefect. Dance with me?" With his outstretched hand and such an unguarded expression, they knew there was little Jamil Viper couldn't squander away from them at that moment.
They stood, stumbling over their feet already as Jamil pulled them into a slow swing, "I-I'm not very good at this..."
A huff that sounded like laughter brushed against their cheek as Jamil pulled them close, "It doesn't matter. Let loose. Feel the music." They grasped Jamil's arm and shoulder as Jamil led them around the room.
It startled them when a lady's voice started to croon over the instruments, meeting Jamil's eyes. There was an unabashedly star-struck look on his face, one that could reduce them to a puddle of embarrassment if they let it. Instead, they leveled his stare, even as the voice sang sweet nothings into the air between them.
Jamil spun them gently, prying a laugh from their lips as he drew them back into his embrace. He hummed along as she sang, and they vaguely wondered what Jamil sounded like when he sang. (But that was a thought for another time.)
"Distracted?" He asked as the voice pandered out and the trumpets picked up once again.
"By you, yeah," The Prefect replied, smiling at the way Jamil's shoulders jumped slightly. They were endlessly amused by how simple words could startle such an unshakable person.
He retaliated by suddenly shifting his weight, causing them to fall— right into a dip, "What a tease you are." Their heart had leaped into their throat, grip tightening on his sleeves. He seemed amused by that, his eyes creasing at the corners.
They huffed as Jamil tugged them up, causing them to fall into him more, "You're the one that asked."
As the orchestra joined in, their steps slowed, until they were shuffling; mere centimeters separating them. They couldn't take their eyes off him. That look was still on his face, even as his gaze flicked down to their lips. Then back up to their face and back down once again. They stayed locked in an embrace, even as the song faded out into a crackle. It was like he was waiting— for some instruction or permission that he was allowed to do something—
They finally found their voice, lips parting, "You should take the song's advice." Their mouth felt dry as Jamil's expression shifted.
A raised eyebrow, clearly a challenge, "And what advice is that, exactly?"
They had a lump in their throat as they recalled the melody; shaky voice fumbling over the words, "Kiss me once, and kiss me twice, then kiss me once again..."
They were immediately met with lips capturing their own; in a kiss so raw and tumultuous. Their knees quivered yet Jamil held them firm, kissing them with so much fervor it almost left them scalded. Jamil, Jamil, Jamil, their mind repeated, abandoning all thoughts that weren't of him, because he was— beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. They pushed back with the same intensity, not wanting to lose when they knew they felt that same feeling of desperation rushing through their veins at that very moment
He pulled away for a short moment before pressing a second kiss against their lips; though this time unhurried and gentle. They place a caress on his hair, the ornaments clinking as they smoothed a hand over his braids. How they wished they could have him like this forever.
A sigh against their lips made their skin tingle as he pulled away a second time. He leaned in one last time, this time pressing a lingering peck against their lips.
"...It's been a long, long time," His voice was hoarse as he sang his reply, yet it was the most lovely thing they had ever heard. They were sure there was a dopey smile on their face as they admired him, their beautiful lover, under the sparse lantern light.
But something distracted him too quickly, and he opened his mouth, "I should take you back to your room. It's already this late, and I'm sure you'd like to sleep." Ah. He had been relaxed all this time, and now he finally remembered his "position." They almost frowned at the thought of this mood being ruined by something that didn’t ever matter to them.
There was no going around the question, so they asked one of their own, "You want me to leave?"
"That's..."
They knew it was a loaded question. One that Jamil wouldn't be able to answer. But they could wait— for an answer that wasn't something so textbook, as expected of him since he was younger. They could wait however long it took for an answer that was simply his.
"I'd like it if you stayed," Jamil's words rushed out hurriedly. "I mean...would you stay with me?" The grip on their waist tightened in anticipation of their answer. His eyelashes fluttered as he looked away from them.
"It's funny that you think I'd rather be elsewhere right now," They said, trying to catch his gaze. "Hey. C'mon, silly, look at me."
It took a little while before dark grey eyes met theirs once more, "There we go."
"Stop this already," He mumbled, but he leaned closer still.
"There's no place I'd rather be than by your side," They state proudly, giving him a smile. "I'm staying. Today, tomorrow, and the next day, and...this is getting cheesy..." They cough; embarrassed, "You get it, right?"
"You're going to be the death of me," Jamil murmured, thumb brushing against their cheek ever so lightly. "Hayaati wa qalbi." The words send a shiver down their spine though they don't understand them.
"What's that supposed to mean?" They asked as Jamil finally brought them over to his bed. He turned off the gramophone and their hands find his braids, untangling them. (It would've been faster with magic, but they knew Jamil liked it when they did it instead.)
"It wouldn't be any fun if you knew what it meant," Jamil was smiling at them with the same gentleness the moon used to tide over oceans. They felt themself being inexorably pulled towards him, giving in to the gentle push and pull of his orbit.
"That's so not fair," They tug on one of his braids, earning them a swat to the thigh. "C'mon, you can't be keeping secrets to yourself."
"It's a pet name," Jamil said nonchalantly, turning towards them as they finished with undoing his hair. "Kind of like baby or honey."
"Jamil Viper," They try to look stern, but they were sure it didn't work. "I'm not falling for your tricks. I asked what the words meant, not what they were." He smiled, raising his hands as if he was caught.
In the end, Jamil clammed up about the words, even though their badgering was relentless. He only smiled at them, shaking his head and they wondered if it was important at all. They knew they meant something to him, or else he wouldn't have said it at all. And they could feel what he meant through the way he said it.
Hayaati wa qalbi. To them, it was just his way of saying "I love you." And they fell asleep, to the soothing hum of Jamil's voice and the warm hand brushing against their hair. He was humming that song again, the lyrics still stuck in their mind:
You'll never know how many dreams I dreamed about you,
Or how empty they all seem without you,
So kiss me once, then kiss me twice, then kiss me once again...
It's been a long, long time.
[ omake : حياتي وقلبي ]
Jamil opened his eyes when he finally heard their breathing even out. "Hey," He tried, only to be met with silence, their face curled against his shoulder.
Good. They were asleep.
"Hayaati wa qalbi," He breathed the words with reverence against their temple, chest filling with feelings too large to quantify with mere words. "It means 'my life and my heart.' I thought it was fitting for you, because..."
Because..? Why exactly did he choose those words?
His life. They were one of the only people, scratch that— the only person who he knew loved him unconditionally. He knew that they would love him, whether he chose to stay at the Al-Asim household, or if he ran away to chase his dreams when the crossroads finally caught up to him. He could see himself with them, years and years in the future; something that the past-him would've never thought to have ever experienced in his lifetime.
And his heart. They reminded him how good it fucking felt to live. Really live, as someone who wasn't just a dutiful servant. The few months that he had been dating them and the long months he spent yearning for them— they had been the most alive he felt in years . They taught him from scratch how to embrace his hobbies; accompanying him to musty antique stores, getting tickets to dance competitions, hell, even going as far as to make him completely abandon his animosity towards performing for once in his life.
There was so much more he could thank them for— so much that it made him choke on those three little words anytime he tried to utter them. But they never frowned upon that. With every failed attempt of professing his love, they were always there to pick him up— stitching him together with hands so gentle he could almost believe in their sincerity. And yet he was still afraid.
‘Old habits die hard’, yes, that was true. He couldn't help but let those thoughts eat at him; a slow, all-consuming autophagy because surely the only person he was hurting was himself. And he saw the flicker of sadness in their eyes whenever he would slip up, showing them the doubts needling around cautious words and actions like a pest. He knew he was getting better at it, but wanted to try harder; for their sake. For the sake of that smile on their face— the very one he wanted to protect.
So this was the best he could give them for now: hayaati wa qalbi. Words that he could say and mean. Words that they couldn't possibly understand. Words that he could only whisper the meanings of as they slumber, for fear of ripping out his own heart and baring it to them to do as they pleased.
Jamil wet his lips, trying again, "I thought it was fitting because that's exactly what you mean to me. You're my life and heart. So please...stay with me forever, as you promised." He couldn't help but struggle around the last few words, illogical tears welling up in his eyes as he pulled them closer.
Yes, for now, this would be enough. For his life and his heart, he swore, belonged to them and them only. Today, tomorrow, the next day, and the next. Forever, forever, and always.
thank you for reading this impromtu little thing i wrote for mr. viper ! if you'd like to check out more of my work: my ao3 + twst masterlist
╰‧₊˚ A GREEK DEITY!AU where (y/n), the god of war and Leona Kingscholar, the god of wisdom were in love, close to tying the red string of fate but one day, while (y/n) was out hunting, they met Malleus Draconia who was also a god. soon a war broke out where (y/n) declared their love for Malleus Draconia but was tied by destiny to Leona Kingscholar.
part one , part two , part three
"do you have something to tell me?"
the god of wisdom asked, hands wrapped tightly around his lover’s waist as he pulled them close to him. the other’s lips were just inches away from his and he intended to lean closer but he was taken aback by their smile full of sincerity. the thought of indulging himself in their deadly poisonous yet addicting kiss was soon shut down.
"of course not, love. i dont lie, do i?" they chimed, snaking their arms around his neck. the male tensed up but a fine line of smirk formed on his lips and he leaned closer to the little lad on his lap.
his lips were soft, the way they slowly tried to fit in with theirs felt too good to stop. their eyes fluttered to close as they purposely took the time to slightly tilted their head to the side. everything felt so long but he made it meaningful, taking his time to show his lover the deep passion in the heart of a god whose hands would be stained with blood most of the time. but with his lover, hes as soft as a feather of a pigeon. (y/n) wasnt aware of the delicate sinful noise they let out in between the heated moment of them under the lushful tree.
it made the wise god groaned and took the opportunity to slip his tongue in, taking every inch of love theyre sharing. fingers raked a handful of his soft brown hair bathe in sunshine and his grip tightened around their body as none of them showed a signal to stop. they backed away just inches away from his face and breathed heavily, lips still brushing against each others. soft tint of red hue appeared on our faces and they let out a chuckle- he looked so into the kiss just now.
"youre flustered."
"oh hush you. have you looked at yours?"
he whispered in his raspy voice. (y/n) could feel his lips vibration against theirs. it sent shivers down (y/n)’s spines and explosion of butterflies in their stomach lead them to lean closer again. leona understood immediately and for a moment, they stayed in each others arms.
“just let us stay longer, dear father.” leona uttered.
⊹˚︵‿₊˚ʚɞ˚₊‿︵˚
they weren’t expecting to be summoned by their dear Father so early in the morning. (y/n) barely can open their eyes when All-Father of the Gods arranged a hunting event for all the mighty gods.
“wasn’t expecting to hunt a dear here.” (y/n) cooed as their eyes wandered up and down the fellow on the ground who seemed to have caught an arrow right through their left arm. “nice headpiece you have there, by the way.”
but the fellow only scoffed, he knew it’s getting nowhere with the fight he’ll start if he returned the sarcasm.
“you’ve never seen a dear of my species, i assume?”
“of course not! those thorns are thicker than leona’s head.”
leona kingscholar, huh. who would’ve thought this young but bold god right here is a property of the god of wisdom? he thought. they gently pulled out the arrow from his arm, prepared to hear a hiss of pain but was caught off guard with the sudden chuckle instead. he can still laugh amidst the situation he’s in?
(y/n) spoke out loud bits by bits of their incantation as the man with a pair of solid rock horns’ arm started to recover. no scar was left, truly a work of a god whose life was also part of the All-Father’s artwork. “that should do it, i hope”
“no apology?”
they furrowed their brows. “right, im sorry. anyway, you’re a deer or a what, goat?”
“god.” he answered but he was not expecting the others to laugh out loud. them on the other hand, was hoping to see him crack a smile but they weren’t sure how to react when a pout grew out of his mouth.
cute. despite being a bit hurt with (y/n)’s reaction, he knew it’s a normal reaction to laugh at a god with horns. more like a devil. sadly, he’s used to it and brushed it away when the fellow god who had just finished wiiping their tears of laughter off, suddenly bowed to apologise.
“im sorry, again, about that. its just ive never seen you around.”
“thats probably because youre caught up with work from All-Father. i understand that.”
he shook his head, telling them to keep it cool. he stood up from the ground before his arm reached for his recurve bow and slung it over his shoulder. he thanked them, bid them goodbye with such beautiful smile and oh dear, how it made (y/n)’s cheeks painted with bright crimson.

“shouldn’t you be thinking about marriage by now?”
You couldn’t help but frown at the red-haired boy in front of you. He didn’t seem to get what you’ve been trying to deliver for he past few minutes from the moment the three of you sat down at one of the cafeteria’s table. Fiddling with your fingers, your thought wandered around before it came around when a familiar face popped in your mind. Teal hair with black random strand on the left of his face frame. The sinister yet charming smile of his, your cheeks turned beetroot red.
“she has a lover, you twat.” your familiar beamed with his mouth stuffed with his sandwich.
Ace was stunned, eyes widen at the word Grim used. A lover, huh? Wouldn’t that make it easier to settle down now that you have a future husband. The look on his face said it all. The thoughts of getting married to him would be the best thing to ever happen to you but you were brought back to reality when you remembered something. You barely talk to him.
“it’s one of the Leech twins, isn’t it? Oh for the sake of the Seven, its him out of everyone?” He asked in disbelieve but you just stayed quiet.
“you don’t know which one.”
“and? You’re going to marry him if he asks you?”
“why not?!” you didn’t mean to say that out loud and it made the two of them burst out the ugliest and loudest laughter.
You gave him a look before you continued, “he’s very kind to everyone, you know ace. To me at least, but he’s still very kind. Although he seems too be too obsess about his hobby, i adore that about him the most.”
Unaware of the time, you’re lost in your own world unable to stop ranting about him. It felt warm and heart-warming to talk about him. No one seemed to notice how he’s so much more than just a vice dorm leader of Octavinelle. “and he’s surprisingly good and I mean HELLA GOOD at noticing me whenever i’m under the weather. i never wanted him to discover those.
“Would I marry him? Of course. But you see, he’s graduating soon. plus azul even told me to shoot my shot. There’s no way he would notice me before he’s leaving.”
“notice wha—”
“hello there, (y/n).” just then you felt a hot steamy breath blowing at your left ear, creeping between you and Ace. You turned to look at the person who greeted you and there stood him with his oh so charming and mysterious smile. You caught a glimpse of ace slowly moving away from the two of you and proceed to sit in front of you instead.
oh great seven, i hope i didnt say anything out of my mind. i didnt clearly state that jade’s a good kisser, right? definitely not.
He’s not alone here that’s for sure, “jade, we’ll be waiting for the news at the table.” azul ashengrotto spoke and patted jade’s shoulder before walking away with floyd leech trailing behind him. Your cheeks once again failed to hide from radiating the heat of excitement from your body cells.
“h-how’s your exam, jade?” you stared into his eyes which looked like a whirlpool in a middle of the ocean. It pulled you in, no, his sharp gaze was preventing you from falling deep into those heterochromia.
“i have a good feeling about it.” he replied confidently as you let out a chuckle. of course he would say that without breaking eye contact with you. not long after that you couldn’t help but felt sad, letting the disappointment engulfed you with the thought of you never seeing him after graduation ever again haunt you at the moment.
he must’ve at least heard a few lines about him from you minutes ago. “ranting about him again, i see?”
“im waiting for him to notice if thats what youre going to ask, jade.”
you nodded your head slowly before your head fell to your lap. eyes stinging as tears formed from the corner of your eyes. but you didnt want to act cowardly in front of your crush and embarrassed yourself so you refused to look at him.
“(y/n).”
“hm?”
“so whenever you ask me again how i feel about us—”
“i remember your answer, jade.”
maybe its best if you give him the time to figure things out by himself. after all, he’s jade leech. the one who can see through lies.
