Ever wondered how the dorm leaders would react to a witch S/O?
This is in 3rd persons P.O.V but reader is female.
Warnings: There are some very minor chapter 6 spoilers in Idiaโs scenario and Vilโs as well. Also, I know thereโs different things in each practice, Iโm simply using the examples that come to mind. (For Leonaโs I know some people do different rituals, Iโm just doing a ritual that I personally am familiar with.) Also I did decide to do Jamil instead of Kalim for this one as well, apologies. Likes and shares are appreciated!
It was simply an ordinary day, Riddle had planned on paying a visit to Ramshackle dorm, mainly wanting to see you and perhaps talk over a cup of tea. He actually had a free day today, having finished all of his work earlier than usual. It was rare for Riddle to actually have time to spare, so instead of doing more work, he decided to spend it with you.
In the beginning of the relationship, Riddle had noticed a few odd things about you. He noticed how you werenโt too frightened by the fact that youโd traveled to another world, not to mention a world that was full of magic. But you werenโt really scared, no. Instead, you were fascinated by this world. Riddle had always wondered why you werenโt terrified, but, unbeknownst to him? He would soon find out.
As soon as Riddle opened the door to Ramshackle dorm, he was greeted by the smell of burning rosemary incense, as well as the faint smell of lavender & roses. He walked into the living room area, where he first saw it. A circle of salt surrounding you, and you sitting in a meditative position. You were whispering something under your breath, unaware of your lovers presence.
Riddle, for a few moments, was unsure of what to do. He recognized it to be some sort of practice, he wasnโt dumb. It was sort of obvious that you were a type of human witch. Riddle wasnโt sure if he should interrupt you or leave you be. As he looked around the room, he noticed certain symbols etched onto candles, herbs scattered across the floor, tarot cards on the table, and other things he couldnโt name. Suddenly, you giggled and faced him, having felt his presence long ago, but simply let him look around. He jumped a bit after hearing you giggle.
โSorry Riddle. I was meditating. I wasnโt expecting you to come by my place, with how busy you always are.โ You exited your salt circle and walked over to him. Embracing him, you kissed him. Kissing you back, he pulled back slightly afterwards to speak,
โI wasnโt sure what to do, I thought it wouldโve been rude if Iโd interrupted you. Are you a human witch by any chance?โ He questioned. You silently nodded at him.
โWell that does explain why you werenโt too scared of everyone here. You were already familiar with the world of magic.โ He stroked your hair and kissed your forehead. You smiled and looked down.
โIts sort of difficult to explain, but only up until recently have I been way more in tune with my abilities. I wasnโt actually sure if I should tell you or not, mainly because I was sort of scared of what youโd say. Initially, I thought youโd just find me weird.โ You mumbled. Riddle grabbed your cheeks and made you look at him.
โLove, I find the fact that youโre a witch fascinating. To me, at first, it was a bit odd, seeing you in a salt circle on the floor, but I realized this mustโve been one of your personal practices. So instead of finding it weird, I find it beautiful, just like you. It seems everyday I learn different things about you, my dear.โ Riddle smiled and closed the distance with you.
โThank you Riddle.โ You smiled and hugged your lover. If you had him appreciate you like this, what more could you ask for?
Leona decided one day to go over to ramshackle dorm, mainly since you were his favorite pillow and he couldnโt really sleep well without you. It was late, the moon started to pop out, and you hadnโt shown up to Savanaclaw yet, so he went looking for you, normally heโd just nap without a care in the world, but until you stepped into his life, heโs gotten used to you being by his side. After arriving at your house his nostrils flared, the smell of something burning caught his attention.
Running past the gates, him worried something was happening, he noticed that it wasnโt your place on fire. As a matter of fact, your place looked completely fine. His brow twitched, wondering where the scent of something burning was coming from. After going in and checking Ramshackle dorm, he found that you werenโt there.
One thing he did find, however, were books. Tons of them, filled with a different language he didnโt understand, handwritten from the looks of it, top it off the pages were also filled with symbols he hadnโt seen before. He smelled the faint scent of jasmine incense and sage. Looking around your room, he saw a multitude of crystals adorning your night stand.
Leona, being a smart guy, already guessed that you were most likely a human witch. He wasnโt stupid, he knew what witchcraft was. Thing is, he still couldnโt find you, and you were more important than that for now. Heโd ask you later of course. After walking out of your room, the three ghosts appeared in front of him.
โIf youโre looking for Y/N, sheโs in the woods.โ Ghost A explained.
โYeah, tee hee, sheโs doing a ritual.โ Ghost B said. Leonaโs ears perked up at the word ritual.
โNโ what type of ritual is she doinโ?โ Leona asked the ghosts. Walking past them to go look for you, he heard the third ghost say,
โSheโs praising the full moon or something like that, hehehe! Youโll find her easily, sheโs making a bonfire so you should be able to find her from the smoke.โ Ghost C said, Leona having already exited the front door, but he heard him loud and clear. Looking around, he soon spotted an area from which smoke was rising, deep in the woods.
โAlright, my little witch. Where are ya?โ Leona said, smirking to himself, soon afterwards walking towards the smoke. As Leona walked through the woods, he heard the faint beat of a drum. It was a primal beat, and it sent a shiver down Leonaโs spine. It almost made him pause to listen to the beat, but he figured heโd enjoy it more once he got to you.
Once he arrived at the bonfire, not only did the smell of smoke welcome him, but your enchanting singing also lured him in. The smell of sage burning as well as the very faint smell of mint, mingled wonderfully with the drum beats that echoed throughout the forest. He looked over at you sitting in a circle, with a star in the middle, creating a pentagram. A few crystals surrounded you, as well as the drum that sat in front of you.
Leona slowly walked up to you, but he hesitated once he got near you. He wasnโt sure if he should interrupt you or let you be since this was your ritual and he didnโt want to interrupt. But he did want to be there with you, even if you were in your own little world. He decided to simply call our your name.
โOi, YN.โ He called out, waiting for a response. You flinched, then turned around to see your boyfriend. Your eyes widened and you got up.
โCrap, I didnโt know you would be looking for me. What are you doing here?โ You asked meekly. Leona raised an eyebrow at you.
โYou know, with all of the things your doing right now, I should probably be askinโ you that. But I wonโt, since I know that this is your practice is it not?โ You nodded at him. You walked over to him and embraced him. He buried his face into your hair and inhaled. He felt instantly relaxed with you back in his arms.
โIf itโs not obvious enough, as you can see from the bonfire and everything, Iโm a witch. I wasnโt exactly sure how to bring it up, since I originally thought you wouldnโt really care. But I never thought youโd walk in on one of my rituals.โ You buried your face in his chest, feeling a tad bit embarrassed. He chuckled and lovingly stroked your hair, placing a kiss on your temple.
โItโs kinda thrilling knowinโ that your girlfriends a witch. I suppose thatโs why you werenโt too scared when you arrived here. I find it fascinating knowing that my herbivore practices stuff like this.โ He smirked at your pout.
โYโknow, Iโve always been one, a witch. Ever since I was little I would always see stuff that I shouldnโt have been seeing. Iโve only recently come to accept that Iโll always see stuff like that.โ You lifted your hands and fondled with his braids. He locked eyes with you and smirked.
โYa think i can join in on your little ritual?โ Your eyes widened before you laughed.
โOf course Leona.โ You dragged him over to your drum, sat back down with him and started to make beats with it. Leona found himself placing your head on his shoulder and relaxing with you. Itโs things like this he would look forward to with you in the future, he looked forward to being with you in general, but hearing your beautiful voice and the primal beats of the drum, was also a nice addition to the mix, he also didnโt admit it but he felt very energized now that he had joined you. He felt, alive, in a way. It called to something primal in him, and he liked it. He definitely wouldnโt mind joining you once in a while.
Azul surprisingly, had free time today, it was closing hours at the mostro lounge, yet you hadnโt popped up like you usually do. Azul found himself getting a bit antsy, since you usually popped up right after the lounge was about to close.
The twins soon finished closing the lounge, having escorted the last customer out, then walked over to your boyfriend, who was still pondering over what he should do since you werenโt there with him.
โHey Azul, Whereโs shrimpy?โ Floyd said, his bored look complimenting his bored tone. Floyd liked hanging around you since you were just so squishy to him, he also found you fascinating. He and Jade had a feeling you were something else, from the moment you started dating both of them had time to observe you. They still hadnโt figured out what you were but there was something they knew was different about you, they just werenโt sure what you were. Jade soon said,
โI do suppose itโs odd, since Y/N usually shows up after closing hours. Perhaps you should go and look for her. Weโll take care of things here, Azul.โ Jade said.
โAlright then, Iโll drop by ramshackle dorm.โ Azul said, soon after leaving the lounge to go look for you. After arriving at your place, he quietly entered, not knowing if you were asleep or if you were busy. He had only been to ramshackle once, and even then he wasnโt really used to being in your home all the time.
Itโs times like these that remind him of how grateful he is to have you by his side. He wasnโt sure what you saw in him but he loved the fact that you appreciated him and loved him for who he was. You didnโt care about his faults, you forgave him so lovingly. You had always been so kind to him, heck, when he even showed you his mer form for the first time, you were actually gushing about how cool and adorable he looked.
He did notice a few things when starting out a relationship with you, on certain days you would carry different crystals, always stuffing them into your pockets, making sure no one noticed. He did notice of course, he was always curious as to why youโd carry crystals around. He was into shiny things after all. So he figured one day heโd go right out and ask you. Although, he never exactly got the chance to, since the two idiots you hang around with came and stole all of your attention.
After entering your place, he was greeting with the lovely scent of citrus incense burning, as well hints of coconut. He followed the scent into the living room, to where he found you sitting in a salt circle meditating, with what looked like a pendulum in your right hand. He looked around your living room, instead of feeling shocked, he found it fascinating, it was like walking into a cute little trinket shop. It looked different from the last time he came in here. After all the last time he came in here was when he swindled you into that deal and took ramshackle dorm from you.
Ultimately, he regretted doing those things to you, even though he apologized consistently, and you constantly told him it was fine, he still couldnโt help but feel really guilty about throwing you out of the only thing you considered a home. He didnโt really remember much detail to it before now, since you hadnโt bothered decorating it before, but now, as he looked around he saw the wonders of your newly decorated home, he found himself utterly fascinated by it.
Skulls, incense, feathers, crystals, books that were filled with mysterious writing and symbols, tarot cards sprawled out onto your coffee table, other things he couldnโt name. He honestly fell in love with all your little Knick knacks and all of your crystals. He wasnโt exactly sure what you were but he figured you must have been some sort of human witch if you collected stuff like this. You reminded him of that mermaid he heard of countless times, the one who constantly collected different things from the surface.
He hadnโt said anything to you yet, and you must have been in a deep meditation since you hadnโt notice your lover standing there yet. He wasnโt entirely sure if he should bother you or not, since you really were deeply meditating, but he missed you dearly, and the selfish part of him said to call out your name.
โY/N?โ He called out, waiting for you to reply. You flinched and turned around, dropping your pendulum but paying no mind to it, eyes growing wide as you saw your boyfriend standing there for who knows how long. You cleared your throat and asked him,
โAzul? I didnโt think youโd be dropping by! Iโm sorry I didnโt notice you I was just-โ you looked around, your face beginning to feel hot. He chuckled and approached you, stopping right outside your salt circle.
โAngelfish, are you by any chance, a human witch?โ He asked you, lifting your chin with his fingers, making you look at him. You nodded shyly and he smiled at you.
โTruly, I would have never imagined you were a witch, but that would explain why you carried different crystals on different days. It seems Iโm learning new things about you everyday, my dear.โ He soon embraced you and you gladly hugged him back.
โIโm sorry I didnโt tell you sooner, I was just afraid of what you would think. I wasnโt sure if youโd accept me or if youโd think it was weird-โ Azul interrupted you by placing a kiss on your lips, silencing you. Pulling away for a moment, he said,
โAngelfish, please donโt say such things like that. I truly appreciate you, you know? I would never think your practice is weird, as a matter of fact, I find it fascinating! Especially with all the little trinkets I saw when I walked in, like your crystals and your skulls and all of your other little Knick knacks, I love all of it. Including you.โ He held your face once again and softly kissed you. You giggled, then pressed your forehead against his.
โThank you Azul, I love you.โ He smiled and told you the same. After picking up your pendulum, you two then went off into your room after youโd cleaned up the rest of your area, him asking you questions about all of your little trinkets and your crystals along with their different meanings. You found it adorable, with the way he seemed to take an interest in witchcraft. If he loved you this way, by appreciating you and your practice, then you definitely knew in your heart he was a keeper.
Itโs extremely rare for Jamil to have time off, but seeing how he hasnโt hung out with you in some time now, and seeing how he missed you dearly, he decided to finish all of his cooking and cleaning earlier than usual. He left Scarabia in the hands of the students he trusted most, and rushed to find you.
Itโs times like this when he remembers how he became so infatuated with you. He initially thought you didnโt like him, especially with how he lied to you. He felt such shame when he snapped out of his overblot, he waited for you to be mad at him and leave him. But instead you cried and asked if he was okay, tending to his injuries and making sure he got proper rest.
~Letโs go on a trip down memory lane~
โJamil, why are you cleaning again? I thought I told you Iโd be helping you for now. Please, you need rest.โ You ushered him back to his bed after seeing him break into a fever after cleaning, he was pushing himself too hard. He let you push him into bed, him not having the heart and strength to tell you no. Even Kalim had noticed his fever and ordered him to rest.
Seeing how you genuinely wanted him to get better, if he knew any better, heโd listen to you. But he wasnโt used to having people care after him, not to mention look after him with such love and affection before. With the fate that was handed to him, he was used to taking care of others all the time. He was not used to having you on his case, telling him about how he should be in bed, or how he should be taking better care of himself. As you put a cold, damp rag on his forehead and his neck, he asked you quietly,
โWhy do this for me? Donโt you hate me? After I lied to you? That person wasnโt the real me you know. You should have distanced yourself from me, and yet here you are, taking care of me.โ Jamil said quietly. Your lips trembled and your voice cracked a bit.
โYou know you are right. I will admit that. I should be mad at you, but Iโm not. How could I be mad at you, when youโve felt this way for so long, and you werenโt able to do anything about it? Jamil, that would be selfish of me. Itโs okay to feel this way. Itโs okay to feel angry about your fate, but that doesnโt mean you can continue with pushing yourself like this. Itโs okay to let people in sometimes, itโs okay to take a break sometimes, and itโs okay to let others help you once in a while. Iโm here with you, because I fell in love with that same boy that I met at that assembly. Iโm still in love with you now, and I donโt plan on leaving you anytime soon. So stop being stubborn and let me take care of you. This is the least I can do.โ
You wiped his neck with the cold towel, wiping off his sweat. You secretly whispered a spell to heal him over the rag you had in your hand, then placed it over his head once more. He frowned upon hearing your words, not hearing the small spell you whispered,
โBut what if I donโt want your help? What then?โ He asked you, looking at you for a reaction, your eyes softened,
โEven if you donโt want my help, Iโll still be here cheering you on and making sure youโre well enough to stand up on your own two feet. Jamil, I love youโฆIโll say it again if I have to, I love you, so much, and I want you to get better. Iโll be here on the sidelines, until youโre ready to be with me properly.โ You kissed him on his forehead, then whispered a sleep spell after youโd backed off. Once again, he hadnโt heard you, since he was dozing off, and was too tired to even bother listening to you. But the words you had said before, had stuck to his heart like glue.
โYouโฆyou are one troublesome girl. But I supposeโฆthatโs why I fell for youโฆโJamil dozed off, then fell asleep. Your heart swelled, then you kissed his forehead once more.
โSweet dreams Jamil. I love you.โ You then fell asleep on his bed, too tired from your day to move.
As Jamil walked down the road to ramshackle dorm, he couldnโt help but reminisce on that memory. You were willing to stand by him on the sidelines, waiting for him to finally accept your feelings. You cheered him on, despite him deceiving you.
Jamil honestly felt like he truly didnโt deserve you sometimes, he felt like you were too good for someone like him. You were there to help him with whatever he needed, be it cleaning, doing laundry, or cooking. He felt as if he hit the jackpot when he first realized his feelings for you.
He could never understand why you wanted him of all people. There were so many other guys out there for you, especially in NRC, so many other guys who had money, and fame. Yet you had chosen him, a servant. You were so patient with him, willingly helping him anytime he needed it. He had been standing alone in the darkness for all his life, and yet, you were the only one who walked into his life and brought light to his world. And not to mention, you would always gush about how talented he was, how smart he was, even going on about how handsome he was. He felt himself blush a bit, thinking back on those memories with you. He could never get tired of you, he looked forward to seeing you each day, despite how busy he was all the time. Seeing you at the end of each day, always made his worries escape his mind. He was honestly so grateful for you, you truly had no idea.
As he opened the gates to ramshackle dorm, he smelled something so mouthwateringly delicious he had to know what you were making. He walked up to ramshackle dorm and entered. He was hit with a mixture of scents, the smell of burning sage and beach rose incense, and the smell of your mouth watering cooking. Jamil walked over to your living room, where he soon found all of your craft items.
Initially, Jamil wasnโt exactly sure what he was looking at. He hadnโt been to ramshackle dorm in a while, before heโd complain to you about how dusty ramshackle dorm was, now he was glad the place wasnโt filled with dust as it used to be, assuming you fixed the place and cleaned it. But with your items everywhere it certainly looked like you hadnโt cleaned up your area.
However, when Jamil looked closer at your stuff, he noticed that there were odd items heโd never really noticed before. He gently picked up one of your open books, finding pages filled with an oddly written language he couldnโt understand, as he continuously flipped through the pages he found odd symbols that he had never seen before.
Putting your book down, he looked around once more to see what was an incense stick burning, next to it, burning sage and an obsidian skull, along with a variety of crystals. Other little Knick knacks adorned your living room, but what caught his eye was the crystal ball in the corner of the room, as well as a mirror that was covered.
Jamil didnโt really know what to do with all of this information, but as soon as he saw your tarot cards on your coffee table, as well as that crystal ball, he could only really think of one thing. It didnโt take him forever to figure out, Jamil was a smart guy, after all. He figured you were a witch. He just didnโt understand why you didnโt tell him sooner. Were you not that comfortable with him yet? Did you not trust him that much yet?
He decided to go and ask you himself. Walking up to your kitchen door, he opened it and saw you jump. You relaxed once you noticed it was your lover. Placing your utensils down, you ran up to him, hugged him and kissed him.
โJamil!! What are you doing here, werenโt you supposed to start preparing Kalims food for tomorrow?โ You asked.
โYes, but I finished all of my tasks early so I could spend some time with you.โ He stroked your hair and you smiled up at him. Leaning down, he kissed you. Soon after, he pulled away slightly so he could ask you,
โY/N. Tell me, are you a witch by any chance?โ You backed away a bit but soon hung your head in shame.
โI figured youโd find out, with all of my stuff everywhere. Iโm sorry I didnโt tell you sooner Jamil, I just thought youโd find it weird or youโd find me- wha-โ He interrupted you by pulling you close and embracing you.
โI was a bit scared that you didnโt trust me enough with this. I initially thought you werenโt comfortable with me yet, but I never imagined it was because you thought Iโd think you were weird. Youโre so silly sometimes, Y/N.โ He laughed and buried his face in the nape of your neck. You laughed at the ticklish sensation and pulled away to face him.
โOf course I trust you hun, I just thought that youโd find it odd. That was all Jamil, Iโm sorry.โ You exhaled as you felt him move back to the nape of your neck and adorn your neck with light kisses, then you tightened your grip around him, he following suite.
โWhy would I ever find you odd? I always knew there was something different about you, I just couldnโt place my finger on what it was. Knowing that youโre a witch, I honestly find it cute. You know you can trust me right?โ He pulled away to look you in the eye.
โI do trust you Jamil. Thank you for being so accepting.โ You kissed his cheek and walked back over to the stove, where the soup you were making was bubbling over.
โI think it should be done! Youโll love it I promise, itโs one of my cultureโs recipes!!โ You exclaimed happily, Jamil smiled at you and walked over to you.
โIt looks delicious, whatโs it called?โ He asked you, eyeing the soup.
โItโs called (insert dish name)! Youโll love it I promise!โ You grabbed a spoon from the tuber-wear and tasted the soup, soon after dipping it back it to give your lover a taste. He smiled.
โItโs delicious, y/n.โ
โTold you.โ You giggled as you waited for it to finish cooking. As you waited, you felt his arms wrap around you and you leaned into him.
โThank you for being mine, my zahra.โ He tightened his arms around you and you leaned into his touch, smiling.
โOf course Jamil. I love you.โ
The both of you waited until the soup was fully ready. You had waited for him once, and now he had opened up to you once more. You were glad he appreciated your love, and you were happy that he loved you and your craft. You couldnโt ask for anything more than this. After all, being by his side was enough.
(Iโll be basing Vilโs at the end of chapter 6, since thatโs when they pitch in and decide to fix ramshackle dorm after they get back.)
Vil has always been a busy man, with his acting career, his modeling career, and as a full fledged student. That much was obvious, before he met you, he never really thought about anyone else but himself. He was in his own little circle, where he could watch everyone and everyone else was watching him.
So, initially, he was a bit jealous of you when you first arrived at NRC. You seemed to pull everyone in, and even though you were magicless, it seemed that you were magically luring everyone in. Himself included, but Vil being, well, Vil, of course he didnโt admit it at first. After a while of being stubborn, he eventually started finding you very beautiful, you just had this natural aura to you that was so enchanting, so beautiful. You were also so kind to him, even when you had seen the worst sides him. That was when he truly fell for you.
Shockingly, when he confessed to you, him going all out of course, he wasnโt taking any chances lmao, you said you harbored feelings for him as well, and then the both of you started dating. He truly couldnโt have been more ecstatic. You truly did love him, and he did truly love you. But there were some things he just didnโt know about you yet.
Vil never particularly liked going to ramshackle dorm, mainly since it was filled with dust, but after the whole ordeal with S.T.Y.X, he decided to help you fix it and mainly everyone including him pitched in, since he never had gotten to since the both of you were, well, you werenโt even on the island not to mention your house was in shambles. The moment you both had gotten back, he fixed the dorm, and it no longer had cracks in the walls, it no longer had that huge hole in the wall and roof, and it had electricity, heat and water. It had better plumbing systems that connected with the school. It was a funny moment to him after everything was finished, seeing you cry about how kind he was to you and you went on about how much you loved him for it and how grateful you were to him.
He also decorated the inside of course, he had to make sure it was nice after all, he even changed the wallpaper and curtains and rugs, of course this was before he knew your secret, so he never saw any of your craft materials. (You had actually put your things away in a separate room no one went in, since you didnโt want to risk anyone seeing your things.)
Vil did believe you were hiding some things from him. Especially when he saw you putting crystals in your pockets one time, and another time when you two were cooking together he saw you throw salt over your shoulder. He wasnโt exactly sure why you didnโt want to tell him your secrets, but he was soon going to find out for himself.
One evening, Vil surprisingly got off one of his modeling gigs early and they told him he could go home. With how busy he was after school, itโs only natural heโd want to see his sweet potato after not spending some time with you in a while. He did feel guilty about it, he missed you dearly after all, but you assured him over the phone once that it was fine and you didnโt want to get in the way of his job because you knew it was important to him. Quality time was his show of affection after all, so soon enough he found himself outside ramshackle dorm.
He was honestly so proud of the work you and him had done to the place, even as he pestered you to just move into Pomefiore with him, you insisted on staying in the dorm. He couldnโt exactly blame you, since it was the one thing you had closest to a home in this world. As he walked up the new porch he had built for you, enjoying the way his heels clacked against the fresh wood, he inhaled deeply as he smelled cinnamon incense burning.
After opening the door to ramshackle, he was greeted by the mingling scents of Eucalyptus, cinnamon, and the faint smell of wax. He walked over to the living room when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. There, he found you sitting on the floor with what looked like tarot cards sprawled out in front of you, an incense stick burning in front of you, different candles lit across the room, and newly place items were around the room as well, items heโd never seen in your place before. Surprisingly, you hadnโt heard the clacking of his heels when heโd walked in.
As he looked around the living room, the shock of seeing you like this still had his mouth agape in awe, he found himself looking at all of your books that were spewed out onto your coffee table. He wasnโt able to read the language it was in, but Vil was smart, he knew it must have been your spell book. He knew what witchcraft was and he could easily tell what was a spell book and what was a normal book. He confirmed his thoughts when he saw different symbols, ones he hadnโt seen before, etched onto the sides of the candles across the room.
Vil didnโt really understand why you didnโt tell him you were a witch. He found the craft fascinating. Did you not trust him enough? As he looked around he saw your crystals, some animal bones, black skulls, a covered mirror and a crystal ball. All of those things simply confirmed his thoughts. He looked over at you, and instead of being angry at you for not telling him your craft, he felt pride instead. You were his beautiful potato, who had such beautiful practices. He felt his heart swell with love for you, he was genuinely so excited at the fact that you practiced witchcraft, maybe you could even teach him a few witchy tricks.
He approached you soon after, his clacking heels startling you, Vil paused and said,
โOh dear. Iโm sorry if I scared you my love. I didnโt mean to frighten you, I assure you. You must have been in deep concentration, since you didnโt notice my heels when I walked in.โ Vil told you. You giggled a bit, relaxing. Soon after, the reality dawned on you, he now knew everything, and your face reddened a bit.
โWell, the cats out of the bag I suppose. I guess I canโt hide things from you forever. I didnโt mean to deceive you, Vil, Iโm sorry. I wasnโt sure if you were going to accept my practice or not I- Vil what are you doing??โ You suddenly asked, raising your voice a bit after Vil suddenly joined you on the floor next to you. You knew he was wearing one of his favorite outfits and you knew the floor wasnโt exactly the cleanest place, not to mention Vil wasnโt one for kneeling. He chuckled, seeming to know what was on your mind, all the time.
โMy outfit is fine dear, Iโll get it dry cleaned later, right now I want to be next to you. Oh, and let me tell you something, I would never consider you weird, especially your craft. As a matter of fact, once I confirmed you were a witch, I honestly felt so proud of you. Not only are you insanely beautiful, but you also practice something Iโve always been curious about.โ Vil leaned over to you and kissed you, you leaning into him afterwards and feeling the tension leave your shoulders. Vil pulled away from you slightly to ask you,
โWould you be interested in teaching me a few things? Iโd love to learn from you, my sweet potato.โ You smiled at him and giggled,
โOf course Vil! Iโd love to teach you, anyone can learn. I love you, Vilโฆ.Thank you for accepting my craft.โ You hugged him and he embraced you back.
โI love you too my dear, now, where do we start?โ You got up with him and led him to your room after putting the deck away, knowing there were a few books there he could learn from. You were honestly so thankful for him, especially when he didnโt think you were weird, he accepted you for who you were, and he made sure that you knew he loved you. If he accepted you in such a loving way, you knew that if all things considered, heโd always accept you, and you couldnโt really ask for more than this wonderful outcome.
(Iโll be basing his right after chapter 6 happens to give it a bit more depth, no major spoilers but it mentions how Idia and ortho put the reader though some things in chapter 6, and frankly, chapter 6 is HELL.)
Idia already knew there was something up with you. From the start of the relationship he didnโt truly understand why you chose him of all people. Especially with the hell he and Ortho put you through at S.T.Y.X, and having to deal with both of their overblots as well, it was only natural you should hate him. I mean, come on, you had a lot of options to pick from, so why a weeb like him?
Idia didnโt get it, you were such a gorgeous girl. You could pull anyone! You had a reverse harem going on and you didnโt even realize it! Heck, you could have picked a smoking hot prince from the savanna, a soon to be king of briar valley, a popular actor and model, so many other students who were more handsomer than him, and had famous names. Sure he mightโve been infamous due to his family name, but nobody really knew about his family name. But seriously though, him? Out of all your options? He just didnโt get it.
If Idia had to pick one good decision heโs ever made in his entire life, heโd say going to that one dorm leader meeting in person was the best decision heโs ever made in his life. He found you so alluring, so beautiful. You were truly so gorgeous and you had no idea. It was like time had just stopped around you two when youโd first met.
Everyone at NRC just seemed to love you, you were just naturally good at making people love to be around you. You were so charming, he always felt so grateful to have you.
As Idia walked over to your dorm, the night was still young, well to him at least, it was around 11-12:00am, the usual. You two stayed up late playing games sometimes and today was one of those days. He wanted to play games with you and after asking online you said he could come over. While walking to your dorm it gave him the chance to look back on how the both of you first met.
~Time skip down memory lane~
When Idia first met you, he couldnโt truly believe you were talking to him. He just got so nervous and ended up bolting, leaving you to deal with your confusion. It was a while back, your paths crossing through a dorm leader meeting that he actually showed up to in person and not over a tablet. Crowley had forced him to go, same thing with you even though you didnโt technically have dorm students to take care of he still made you go none the less.
You were walking towards the meeting room, you hadnโt noticed the flaming haired boy in front of you before it was too late. The both of you bumped into each other. Since he was a bit taller than you, you ended up bumping to his chest.
Cue Idia getting a gushing nosebleed like those scenes in the animes he watches. The boy was RED. The tips of his hair were red his ears and face were red, he couldnโt believe that he was even holding you of all people in his arms. You broke the silence with your beautiful voice, snapping him back to reality.
โOh, sorry about that hun! I wasnโt paying attention to where I was going. Your Idia shroud right? Itโs nice to meet you!โ You flashed him that beautiful smile of yours, and he felt his heart melt. Idia had hoped you werenโt able to hear his heartbeat with how close you were to him.
โI-I-Itโsโฆn-n-nice to meet youโฆโ that was all Idia managed to blurt our before he took off running, not even caring about the meeting anymore, he can always attend the meeting on a tablet. He left you in the dust wondering what had happened and what you did to make him bolt like that.
Looking back on that fond memory, he couldnโt help but feel embarrassed about the way he bolted right after meeting you. He felt a slight blush creep up on his pale cheeks but he pushed those memories aside when he finally approached ramshackle dorm.
When Idia walked into your dorm however, your place was pitch black. He could barely see in front of him, his hair only lit up the small area surround him, it couldnโt really get him that far, so he took out his phone and turned his flashlight on, wondering why your place was so dark when you said you were going to be waiting for him.
As Idia walked into your living room, he lifted his phone to look for you when he suddenly felt his heart stop. His eyes widened as he looked around your living room, noticing all the new details that hadnโt been there when he was last here at your place. Black skulls, animal skulls, tarot cards, a large mirror with an odd symbol carved onto the top, candles adorned with what looked like runes,, herbs, and much more.
Idia was familiar with the world of witchcraft, having seen it online and from the games he plays, but he never expected you to be a witch, as a matter of fact he thought you were just an ordinary magicless human. But when he approached your coffee table he saw a multitude of books, written in a language he hadnโt seen before. Those books had runes that looked familiar to him, but he couldnโt place his finger on where heโd seen them. But it only confirmed his suspicions.
Idia knew what witchcraft was, he wasnโt stupid, he just didnโt understand why you didnโt tell him you were a witch. He felt himself grow more insecure as his thoughts hastily raced across his mind. Did you not trust him?
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a door open in the hallway, spooking him. He decided to just go and find you since waiting here was getting nowhere, and he figured heโd just ask you about your craft instead of waiting for answers. As he walked through the hallway he smelled wax and a hint of orange as well as hints of vanilla.
After arriving to your room, he opened your door, only to find you on your bed in a meditative position with candles lit around the room. A pendulum was in your hand and you were whispering under your breath. Even though he already knew what you were, this basically confirmed all of his thoughts. For now though, heโd just simply confirm it with you, he wanted to hear it from your mouth.
Idia didnโt really understand why you didnโt tell him, but, even then he only felt his love for you grow. Ever since walking into your home, gaming had completely slipped his mind. He became curious about human witches and what they were like. Approaching your bed and sitting himself on your bed he quietly called out,
You flinched and dropped your pendulum, looking up to see your boyfriend sat on your bed. You felt your face grow hot as the both of you sat in silence.
โI didnโt think you would come this early. The cats out of the bag now I suppose.โ You blushed even more and you squirmed in your spot when he made eye contact with you. He hesitated, before he spoke.
โW-Why didnโt you tell me you were a witch? Do youโฆdo you not trust me enough?โ He frowned and you crawled over to him, hugging him.
โNo Idia of course not, I love you, and I trust you, I initially thought you would find my craft weird-โ Idia laughed, pulling away from you.
โPfft, weird? I donโt think your weird y/n, youโre a real life witch! I find that so cool, youโฆyouโve always been so beautiful to me and this would never make me think your weird. Y/n Iโm so lucky to have you with me, you couldโve easily picked somebody else, and yet you decided to be with me.โ Idia kissed your lips and you leaned into his embrace. With you he could feel at ease, with you, he could be bold. Something he was almost never able to do by himself.
โI honestly still donโt know why you picked an otaku like me, but one things for sure is this just makes you 10x cooler in my opinion.โ You laughed and went to blow out all of the candles, then placed your pendulum on your nightstand. Afterwards, you lied down on the bed with him, plopping yourself onto his chest.
โDo you still want to play games?โ You asked, playing with his hair.
โNah. I want to sleep.โ You gasped dramatically.
โThe famous Idia shroud doesnโt want to play games?! Iโll take it letโs sleep.โ Giggling at his pout, the both of you slipped under the sheets. โNight Idia.โ You laughed as you felt him pull you close, then kiss your forehead. You played with his hair for a little bit, finding it to be soothing, then dozed off. Stroking your hair, he lulled you to sleep faster, unbeknownst to him.
โNight. Love you.โ He felt himself doze off with you soon after. The both of you werenโt even aware of how much you two appreciated each other, but with Idiaโs reaction to your craft, you felt yourself relax a lot more. You hoped it would stay this way with him, for as long as possible.
Malleus definitely knew there was something magical about you from the moment he met you. He could sense magic a mile away, and no matter how hard you tried to hide it from him, he still knew you were hiding something from him. He simply didnโt understand why. Did you really think you could hide something from him?
Malleus comes from a land filled with magic, so it was no wonder he sensed something when he first met you. Not to mention there was always a certain, โenergyโ, with you always. You always carried crystals with you, stuffing them into your pockets before you left with him on a date. Ramshackle dorm always smelled like dragons blood incense and juniper. He already knew there was something up with you from the moment he met you, but he couldnโt exactly put his finger on what it was.
But when the both of you first met, Malleus fell for you hard. For him it was basically love at first sight. You never seemed to mind how intimidating he was, you called him a silly nickname and you were so loving to him. You were the first human to have ever made him feel this way. He knew his time with you was short, as human lives were fleeting. So he always made sure to spend all his time with you. He just felt his heart ache a bit when he remembers that you were hiding something from him. But of course, you couldnโt hide things from him forever, he always finds out.
Malleus was attending yet another boring dorm leader meeting, of course, having showed up on his free will since no one had bothered inviting him. He was starting to regret coming since he could have gone to your house instead, and yet here he was, attending a dull and boring meeting. To his relief, Crowley suddenly dragged him out of his thoughts.
โAnd that concludes our meeting for today.โ Malleus sighed, and walked away. He figured he would pay you a visit since he knew you must have been home by now. Teleporting to ramshackle dorm, he was greeted by the familiar scent of dragons blood incense and juniper. He loved the way your home smelled, it put his mind at ease and he always found himself wanting to stay over with you.
As he teleported in your living room, Malleus was greeted with quite the sight. He was greeted by the sight of you sitting on the floor with a candle in front of you, you were lighting the candle on and off, with nothing at all. From the looks of it, you were using psychic abilities to light the candle aflame.
Malleus felt his eyes widen when he looked around your home. The last time he was in your home it was destroyed after the incident with S.T.Y.X. But your place had been fixed by the donations of the VDC members, and the holes and damages were repaired. You also, had added your own touch.
As malleus looked around with wide eyes, he saw candles with runes etched onto them, he saw that oh so familiar dragons blood incense stick burning, he saw animal skulls, black obsidian skulls, crystals, large pointed crystals, and many more items. Malleus immediately figured out what you were, it wasnโt hard to guess after all. You were a human witch.
He felt himself smiling, becoming filled with pride and love for you. He was ever the curious one, picking up one of your books and reading one, but was unable to understand the language since it was written in a tongue he couldnโt understand. He placed the book down and slowly walked over to you. Walking up to you, he silently called out to you.
โChild of man.โ You jumped at the sound of your name, then recognizing it to be your boyfriend. You felt your shoulders relax as he knelt in front of you. You looked down at the floor as his green eyes made contact with you.
โYou know, Iโve always told you this, and I think Iโll continue to say this to you. But you always never cease to surprise me. You know you wouldnโt have been able to hide this from me forever.โ You nodded at him shyly. He cupped your cheek and lifted your face so he could look at you properly.
โIm not mad my dear. Iโve always known there was something magical about the way you move. From the way you approached me with not a care in the world, to the way you practice human witchcraft. But thereโs one thing I do not understand. Why did you not tell me right away?โ You noticed a frown starting to creep up onto his face and you reached out to embrace him.
โMalleus, Iโm sorry I never told you sooner. Iโve had a fewโฆbad experiences with people in the past, when they figured out I practiced witchcraft, due to their own petty religions. So, I originally though youโd find it weird. I now know that was silly of me-โ you looked down, feeling ashamed as well as embarrassed but you soon felt his large body embrace yours.
โMy dear, I would never find your craft weird. You do remember I practically live and breath magic, right? I would never find the world of witchcraft weird. As a matter of fact, I find it utterly thrilling, knowing my child of man is a witch. You truly never cease to surprise me.โ You giggle as he takes your face in his hands and kisses you. Breaking away from him, you lifted yourself up. You watched as Malleus curiously looked at your animal skulls.
โYou seem interested in them. Maybe I should teach you about all the things I use! Sam had basically everything I needed, it was kind of scary actually but let me go show you more stuff!โ You excitedly dragged your lover to your bedroom, him chucking behind you. Malleus felt excited to learn more about you, his darling child of man. You never considered him weird, you approached him without fear. All the time. You embraced the future ruler of Briar valley without fear, you loved him without a care in the world as to who he was. So why would he find you weird? He loved every single part of you, and from now on, heโd continue to show you, just how much he loved you.
