Gifts! Gifts! Gifts! - A Valentines Day Special šøš¹š·
Note: Gn!Reader, sorry if this was late I had a lot of crazy things happening and I dodged potential homelessness but I'm back and writing again :D
Valentines day, it was one of those days that many people would not want to miss. The school was livelier than usual, many were already at work preparing their confession letters and gifts for their loved ones and friends, and you were no different.
You paced back and forth, making your way into the busy halls and making sure the contents of your bag were safe from everyone. This morning was especially crowded as both you and many others were rushing late to their morning class, not sparing a second until they arrived just on time in fear of punishment. Truthfully, you had been later than usual today, and that was no accident.
The things within your bag were little gifts, chocolates, all of which you planned to give to your friends and colleagues during class. But one thing turned into another and, here you are rushing to trein's class.
With the hustle and bustle of the halls, you had wondered 'how will I get all of these to them?', but little did you know there was someone out there who would look for you to. Perhaps it was someone you were close with, or maybe you would meet them along the way as you hand out your little treats. Still, there was this gut feeling of something special happening today.
You supposed that this would be more beneficial, as you are usually seated to both ace and deuce, the first few people you would give these items to. Running into the class, trein glanced at the entrance. His usual grimace turned slightly more relaxed as he saw you walk in.
"Ah, you are just on time. Please do sit down, we are about to start-"
You moved towards trein and fidgeted around the bag, what he saw come out of it was a small box with a chocolate that resembled a familiar cat...
"Happy valentines day Professor! I made this just last night"
Trein examined the piece, the cat's fur was carefully crafted and its expression showed a droopiness to it that he had known all too well.
Lucius was eyeing at the piece as well, and as trein brought it closer to his chest he couldn't help but smile at his beloved cat licking the plastic box that encased the little gift.
"I appreciate it dearly, thank you."
Moving into your seat, both Ace and Deuce greeted you with their usual antics. It seems that it was never too early or late for them to start their usual banter.
Deuce greeted you with a smile, a little flustered than usual "Morning, prefect!"
Ace was a little more talkative today, perhaps within his own reason
"Ah, you're quite later than usual~" Ace teased.
"Yeah yeah now hush, I made this for you"
The two eyed the little boxes. Like trein, they had been gifted specially crafted chocolate trinkets, one shaped as an ace of hearts, and one a deuce of spades.
You smirked as they were left bewildered at the small but thoughtful gift. Deuce flushed a bright pink and Ace was practically trying (and failing) to hide his blush
"Happy valentines day you two"
The two looked to the boxes, and back at them, and then at you
"You did this...for us?" Deuce replied, his face flushing a deeper shade of pink at the special blue bow that was on the box. Both Ace's face and ribbon were a soft shade of red.
"Hmph, if I had known you'd make something like this for me I would have made my plans a little grander today~"
You raised your brow up at him "What do you mean by that?"
"Ahaha! Don't worry about it~ You'll see it when you see it"
Whilst class resumed as usual, you could see that Deuce was slightly deeper in thought this time. You hadn't known the inner dialogue that unleashed within him when he saw your gift.
His thoughts of him and you were running feverent in his mind 'Should I tell....ah- but what if I get rejected...But then again...'. He spared one passing glance at you, face still flushed, and looked down at his pen and paper. Maybe it was time for him to take action....
The next class was alchemy. Peering into the lab, you see Trey, Cater, Riddle and Rook all huddled near a cauldron. Waving to them, you pulled out three seperate boxes, each chocolates carved in different things for each person.
"These are for you guys...I spent quite a lot of time making them so...happy valentines day!"
"You're too kind, prefect. i
Riddle was equally as flustered "A-ah...thank you...."
He examined the carefully crafted chocolate rose. Trey got a chocolate clover, sleek and tidy. Rook an intricately crafted bow and arrow, the end in the shape of a heart. Cupid's bow, he thought. Cater had a little diamond as his shape, and by the looks of it he was enjoying every minute of it. He was sure he had taken more than 10 pictures in the span of the few minutes he'd received this as a gift.
Queen of hearts rule 298 states that chocolate should not be consumed during the fifth week of the last month they tasted satly tea, but for just this once maybe....
"BEAUTE!!! This craftsmanship....the beauty within such a fickle yet delicious thing...I could not thank you enough, Mon Cher"
Cater smiled widely, ecstatic at this special gift you made especially for him. "I couldn't agree more~"
It didn't help that he had something else in mind for valentines day too but...Oh well, it seemed that it was too early for him to reveal that now.
Rook took the palm of your hand, and softly planted a kiss. His face showing a softness you hadn't seen before "I shall repay you when the time is right"
"Oh stop it, you don't have to really" You held your hand to your cheek, cupping it as you saw just how much they appreciated your hard work.
"But I must! With such beautiful craftmanship and thought, how can I not repay you ten fold~?"
Trey chuckled "He's right you know, I might bake you something special just for this. You did such a good job it would only be fair that I return the favor"
Riddle nodded, face still flushed "I will certainly remember this...kind gesture. I would love to prepare something special for you...to repay you that is"
The four of you enjoyed alchemy, much to your surprise as it is one of the few grueling classes due to crewel's strict nature. Speaking of crewel...
"Hm, what's this? Don't tell me this is a bribe for a better grade"
"It's a gift for you, happy valentines day Professor Crewel!" You handed him a chocolate, carved in the shape of a dalmation puppy with white chocolate.
"Ahhh~ my puppies are so adorable!"
He seemed to be the happiest you've seen him in awhile, which was...strange but cute. Like an excited little puppy getting head scratches.
"You've been such a good student this whole semester, thank you for this!"
Walking outside the classroom, you saw a familiar sleeping lion laying peacefully under a shaded tree. Ears were twitching, his tail wagging, yeah...he's asleep alright.
Slowly, you sneak closer and closer to him, placing his gift on one of his hands, which laid free on the grass.
"You would know better than to sneak up on a lion. Now, what's this?"
"Oh, it's a valentines day gift. For you that is~"
He looked at the little chocolate lion. It was small, yet you managed to capture the fierce and prideful nature of it. It was cute.
"Thanks, herbivore. I'll make sure to reward you with something just as good"
He gave you one last smirk before he rolled back over to return to his nap. But once you had turned your back to go for your break, you could have sworn that Leona was snuggling the box. But of course, he would never let you see that...ever.
In the cafeteria, and dodging all the crowds fighting for the special lunch of the day, you were looking for more of your friends, when all of a sudden....
"Aaah, shrimpy~" You were pulled into a tight hug, and as the air was slowly wringed out, you can see a familiar smile as you looked up.
"It's been so long since I've seen you~! I miss you yaknow!!" Ah, floyd.
"Ah- floyd! You're squeezing me here..."
Floyd let go swiftly, nearly dropping you down to his seat as he pulled away "Oh right~ hehe sorryyy"
Jade smiled at the new company "Oh dear, well if it isn't our little prefect. What brings you to our table?"
The two watched you fumble in your bag once more, pulling out two separate boxes with familiar looking chocolate eels for the two of them.
"Hee~? A little eel?? For me???"
"How adorable, despite the small stature, the carvings are percise, sleek." You can feel the two staring at you, only this time with adoration.
"Oya oya? What's with all the commotion?"
You looked towards your right, seeing that fedora peeking through a familiar face.
"Ah- Azul! I have something for you"
"For me? Oh, you shouldn't have..."
Azul looked at the chocolate octo with an expression you hadn't seen in his face. You can only describe it as a softness he never allowed anyone to see. His suave businessman facade slowly melted as the realization of this gift had settled in his mind fully. You of all people had made something for him, and especially on valentines day.
"I can't thank you enough for this, angelfish. How about I repay the favor. Anything you want, just say the word and it's yours~"
You chuckled "You don't have to Azul, I have all that I want right here~"
"Oh, right! Have you seen Idia anywhere? I can't seem to uhh...find him"
"Hm, chances are he's in his room. He brought his tablet for today's seminar, so he'd most likely still be cooped up in there."
"Thanks again, angelfish. I'll be sure to give you a monstro lounge discount the next time you drop by~"
Before you left, you saw two more familiar faces wave to you.
"Ah! Hey!! It's been awhile!" Kalim exclaimed. Seems that his shine and spark never dies down even in mundane situations like this. Jamil is right next to him, waving back in a manner more reserved. But still, you can tell the two are happy to see you again.
"I got something for you, here!"
You handed the two of them their boxes, Kalim's having a tiny otter, and Jamil a snake. The scales were carefully carved with intricacies that only Jamil would see and appreciate. Kalim was more than overjoyed at the little otter that's now in his hands.
"This is so cute!! Aaah now I wanna gift you back something...."
"How about it? A party? A parade? A magic carpet ride???"
Jamil held the box close, as if it was the most precious thing he had "...something just for me...."
He smiled, looking to you with a soft grin and letting down his calm and aloof demeanor for even a small moment "Thank you..."
Once you said your goodbyes as the bell rang, you went to your next lesson; Flying.
On the court, you can see Jack, Vil, Ruggie and Epel all stretching after a round of magift. Vargas was near them stretching as well.
Ruggie was the first to notice you first "Well well, if it isn't our dear prefect hehe~"
"Ah- Hello!" Epel waved, he seemed happy to see you.
"I come bearing gifts~ Happy valentines day you guys!!"
Both Epel and Jack flushed red as they saw the little carvings. A wolf, an apple, a donut and a peacock...they had all wondered how much time you had spent making all of this, and especially for them....
"You did well, potato..." For once, Vil had no criticism against this. The peacock was carefully crafted, down to the feather. He seems to hesitate for a moment, not wanting to eat this creation you made just for him. Epel on the other hand, would want nothing more than to devour the little treat, even if it was in front of Vil who had just now warned him about his new dietary restrictions after getting a few acne bumps....
"Going through all this trouble to make something special...it kinda gets to me y'know? How about I do something for you in return eh~?" Ruggie smirked, already scheming of many different places he can take you to, far away from everyone else...
Turning to Vargas next, you handed him something "and happy valentines day to you Vargas sir!"
You handed him a tiny chocolate muscle man, lifting a barrel full of eggs. Strange, they all thought. But Vargas seemed more than happy to receive it.
"What a strong little guy! You're quite the interesting type aren't ya?"
Flying class went smoother than usual. Checking the time, you decided it was time to head to ignihyde to check on the resident elusive dorm leader...
Walking through the halls of ignihyde, you specifically wanted to go to Idia directly to give him his little valentines treat. But, as per usual, he was not present physically. So you might as well meet him directly in his dorm room.
"So this is Idia's room..." You knock once, no response.
"Hey, I noticed that I couldn't find you in person so...I'll just place your valentines day gift here, 'kay?"
On the other side, Idia could not believe what he heard "...Valentines?"
You placed the little mecha head shaped chocolate on the footsteps to his door
"I'll leave this here. Happy valentines day, little flame~"
It took a long while before Idia could reply "T-thanks ah- um........."
You moved away and crossed him off the list of people to send your gifts out to. Unbeknownst to you, Idia was shaking.
"fhjhskdhjksjahhh!!!!! I can't believe it...this gift....." picking up the box, he can see the detail you had put on this. Even down to the seams of the robot.
Idia laid down on the ground for a couple minutes, his pink flames threatening to scortch the carpet. But at this point, he didn't care. What he held in his hand was something you made just for him...and those moments lying down turned into minutes slowly turned to hours....and hours turned into.....well....
Down the hall you could see Ortho, configuring some hardware for the main area. You had something special for him too.
The little robot looked up from his work station, his eyes lighting up as he saw you go near him. You fumbled around your bag for his gift.
"I have something for you, ah- here!"
Inside is a chocolate shaped skull, specifically the skulls that adorned his and his older brother's rooms and clothes.
"Happy valentines day, ortho!"
In his excitement, he had tackled you hard into the ground. If he had known any better he would have thought that he was shortcircuiting in his excitement
"Aaah! Thank you so much!!.... I can't really eat this, but I'll scan it for the archives so I'll remember this forever!!"
You both said your goodbyes as you crossed out his name. There were still a few more to go.
The sun was slowly setting and afternoon classes had already ended, so time was of the essence for you to gift everything to all your loved ones.
Running around the main halls once more, you accidentally bump into someone....standing.....sleeping?
Silver caught you just in time before you hit the ground, his arms gripping you firmly close to him until the two of you are stable.
Heat slowly creeped into your face at how close you are together "Sorry I-"
"...No, it's fine...Are you okay?"
"yes! and I uh...I have something for yo-"
"HUMAN!!! What are you doing in the middle of the hallways, you could've hurt someone! or even worse, YOURSELF!!"
"Awww come on Sebek, I'm sure the prefect's just clumsy today"
'Lilia too? Perfect timing'
"Oh! I'm glad Im seeing all of you now, I have something for all of you....right...here!"
Handing all three of them your gifts, you watched as each of them reacted slowly at the little chocolate figurines you made. A sword, a crocodile, a bat. All three of them were in a state of fluster at this gesture. For once, Sebek did not have anything to say, and the same went for Lilia.
"This is adorable~! I'm surprised you'd get something for me..."
Sebek looked away as he spoke "T-thank you...human..."
Silver had never been more awake than he was before. It's clear that his face had flushed a soft pink, and his white hair had only contrasted the pink coloring his cheeks. "I don't think I can thank you enough..."
"it makes me even more certain now with what I- no...it's okay. You don't have to worry about it" He smiled, cheekily hiding that plan he had under his smile.
"What's with the commotion! It's almost time to retire for the night!"
"Ah! Headmaster! This one's for you too!"
You handed him a little chocolate raven, he seemed more than ecstatic to receive something of this caliber.
"This...for me???!!!!! Oh!!!! Oh how generous of you!!!"
He pulled all four of you into a reluctantly big hug "You all are so precious!!!"
In between all of them, you squeezed in a hug back "no problem, headmaster"
Once they all left, you headed to ramshackle to retire. After all, you had someone waiting for you at this hour...
A familiar horned silhouette greeted you at the gate "...You came"
You peered through the bushes and pushed forward, looking to the fae waiting for you. The moonlight shone on his skin with an ethereal glow, and he was more than happy to see you.
"I have something for you, here..."
You handed him a chocolate gargoyle, wrapped with a green bow.
"Happy valentines day, tsunotarou~"
He froze for a moment, not comprehending that someone, anyone, would give him anything other than isolation on the day celebrating love. "This...is for me?"
Nodding your head, you smiled "Yeah! I made it last night, took me awhile y'know! But I think it paid off"
Malleus' gaze softened, a feeling of warmth igniting inside him as he held the box closer to him "I am eternally grateful for this, I am sure blessings will come to you after this..."
You tilted your head "...blessings? What do you have planned-"
He chuckled "You needn't worry about that, child of man."
After all the shennanigans of today, you had finally did it. Thirty something gifts for every one of them...It's a miracle as to how you even achieved it. But as you entered the house, there was something that was placed on top of the coffee table of the living room. Something....wrapped? There seems to be a letter as well. Strange...
'This box...Who is this from?' you thought.
As you read the note on the box, your cheeks flushed and your eyes widened.
"This...this is from...."
You smiled, you really couldn't believe it. It was none other than him...
This secret admirer revealed...and none other than...
