Mystic Au lore:

Your familiars are bound to serve you and listen to your orders through a contract. Now, what this entails differs from mystical to mystical beast. Some might demand ghastly prices in return: an eye, your soul, half your lifespan… while others are a little more tame in their requests.

Yet ultimately they all have the same goal:

To be remembered.

This is because for all their power, they are still folktales. Myths reliant on humankind’s remembering their tales. Without anyone remembering who they are, they shrink into a weakened, hollowed out shell of what they once were.

The worst case scenario?

They cease to exist entirely.

So they engrave themselves into humanity’s memories, one contract at a time. Most of the time, horrible stories are told about these creatures who roam the night. They maim, they trick, they steal… but ultimately it’s for their own survival. Humans always seem to recall horror stories so much easier as compared to stories of good will, after all.

Always a negative lot, you humans.

About the Contracts:

The details and the fine print of the contracts are entirely up to both the master and the mystical beast, so it may take days before a contract is finalised.

However, when it is finalised, there has to be physical proof of such a contract. Traditionally, this would take the form of a tattoo/brand on both the contractors skins, often taking the likeness of the mystical beast. However, with modern times, a different alternative was devised.

Both parties simply carry about a matching pair of items, branded with the likeness of the mystical beast. Some examples would be matching bracelets, matching necklaces, or even a pair of keychains.

Hey, almost as if you two were a couple. Ain’t that cute?

#aaaa THIS reminds so much of my original story Unbound. gonna make me brainrot Ceru. you're so creative. Eating this up. #days in the sun queue🌴 #friend writing #twst #🤌🤌🤌 #Im just a sucker for situations were two ppl are literally just stuck together. #Whether they like it or not. #In my story the contract is made from nessatity bc both parties desire revenge. #I wonder if Ceru would be human or a beastie >:3c

- THANK YOU SO MUCH -

1001 is a capicúa number - good LUCK!

Still remember that horrible quarantine day playing this game, when entered the Shop and Sam "HEY~ Little Imp! What do you want??"- and me "QUIEN FUERA CEMENTO PARA SOSTENER ESE MONUMENTOOO". And well, later started this blog because there wasn't that much Sam content on the internet NEVER DO THIS FOR ANY OTHER CHARACTER FEEL HONORED SAM-

There is an event coming up on this blog as a celebration, most likely a drawing giveaway but I'm open to hearing other ideas I'll put the details of that later...

Still drawing the requests TOO- the plan is post them all together.

#Congrats on being Sam's 1 #imp Coco #One of the twst artists around frfr /srs #Love you Coco >:3 #CONGRATS!!

AAA HI CERU I HOPE YOURE WELL ANYWAY

may I request baking w/ trey? Maybe macarons or red velvet or anything really!

Sweet Treats

Trey x reader

The Heartsabyul kitchen was usually much more lively than this.

Maybe it was because it’s a weekend, but there wasn’t anyone in sight. Only Trey, setting out the ingredients carefully one by one on the table, cradling the utensils in one arm. He seems rather focused on arranging his tools neatly, to the point he hardly even looked up when the door creaked.

You let yourself in then, snickering to yourself softly. Before pouncing onto his back, cheerfully giving the poor Clover the shock of his life. Yelping, he turns around to see your grinning face, laughing yourself silly at his surprise.

Sighing, Trey tries to look disapproving as possible, but he soon breaks into a gentle smile, chuckling softly. How can he stay mad at you? Your laughter is ever so contagious, after all.

It’s music to his ears, truly.

“You’re here early.”

You laugh in response, already rolling up your sleeves.

“Yeah, of course I am! Wouldn’t miss a Heartsabyul baking session for the world.”

Trey sighs, before he leans down on you, head resting on your shoulder. His lower lip stuck out ever so slightly in a fake pout. Tilting his head ever so slightly, Trey whispers softly, almost as if he was purring into your ear. The sound of his voice rich, like the warm filling of a savoury pie.

“Aw… and here I thought you were here for me.”

Cheeks glowing hot, you push him off your shoulder hastily, face a deep crimson. Trey’s chuckling into his fist, laughing at your embarrassment. Reaching towards your face, Trey cups your cheek. The warmth of his palm like the gentle embrace of a lover, bleeding into your skin. A comforting feeling, like lying before a toasty fireplace on a cold winter’s day.

Before you could even stop yourself, you’re melting at his touch, nuzzling into the palm of his hand. Cheeks still tinted with red, you tilt your head closer towards his hand, determined to soak up every last ember of warmth from him.

After a while, you notice that Trey’s silent. You glance up, only to see a faint pink tint glazing over his cheeks, a sappy, soft smile dancing across his lips. The look of a man so truly and fully enamoured with the person in front of him.

Once your eyes meet his, Trey shoots you a sheepish smile, before he pulls his hand away.

“It’s about time we start baking, isn’t it?”

However, you had another idea. Your hand crept towards his, aligning your palms together. Your fingers slip in between his cautiously, intertwining them. You clutch at Trey’s hand, squeezing it affectionately once, twice, before you pull him towards the counter, smiling all the while.

“Yeah!”

While you drag him around the kitchen, scooping ingredients into a big bowl, Trey’s just watching you silently, with a soft fondness that simply just oozes out of his gaze. Goodness, you’re just so… lovable. Brows frowned in concentration as you whisk the batter, eyes sparkling when you do something right… Great Seven, why were you so adorable?

He should really invite you over to bake more often.

#Trey may be a weirdo but Trey likers...I get it. #I'd love to draw him cooking at least once. Just feels like he'd have that infectious energy in the kitchen bc he just loves food so much. #Thank you Ceru!! #friend writing #Why do I always see everything horrendously late??? ;-; #days in the sun queue🌴

Summon:

"Have I actually been grinning to myself the whole time? …Fine, it’s my birthday…”

[Voicelines Below]

Groovy: [Locked]

Summon Line: You’d think that at least one person from a group of 6 would have a some sense of composition, but I’m happy nonetheless. It’s too bad that this broom stays on the ground.

Home: I must look like a mage now.

Home Idle 1: No orders, no pestering, it’s a nice change of pace for once.

Home Idle 2: So many birthday cards… I don’t want to put that much effort into fitting them into a single spread, but I also don’t want to waste more pages too.

Home Idle 3: A letter addressed to me from “Noble Bell College”? That’s odd, I don’t recall having acquaintances in other arcane institutions aside from Royal Sword…

Home Idle Login: Sure, Ramshackle dorm looks a little livelier now, but who exactly do they think is going clean up after all the streamers— I can sit back…? Well, I hope you can meet my standards of clean.

Home Idle Groovy: [Locked]

Home Tap 1: Master Vil gave me a DVD of the Fairest Queen’s animation. Want to watch it together, some time?

Home Tap 3: I thought Master Epel would be one of the first to wish me a happy birthday, but he’s been glaring at me from afar all day. I wonder if I did something to upset him.

Home Tap 4: Master Rook said he’d give me anything as a present, so I asked for hug and pat on the head, hehe~

[bunnwich]

Welcome the sorcerous yet cold dorm of Marcoritas, where desires are best hunted for.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

Inspired by the Unicorn King and this enthusiastic goal to save the unicorns, students here are renowned for a great drive towards whatever path they wish to carve. They no longer believe in fairytales, or mystical creatures that will help you reach a perfect ending. Instead, they ready themselves against the truth of reality: that you must seize what you want yourself. For some, that means trampling over the weak. Others? its means deception must be necessary. And for a very, very select few, it means keeping their want safe and sound, where no one can ever take it from them.

Do not worry of students attempting to hurt you, however. They care little for things outside their goals, bordering on a mad obsession. Although, come in between that—that so called “happiness”— and there’s bound to be some pushback.

Just… try not to get involved, ok?

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

The dorm colors are a simple dark grey and lilac purple.

Below are a few documents regarding some notable students, along with a QnA for newcomers. Enjoy.

"Another pastime that fails to entertain me…wasting my time will come at a cost, you know."

“I caught you~! And a well-known legend to boot! I thought you would have at least put up a fight…”

“Ghost, devil, servant, who cares?! All that matters is that I’m gonna pummel your face in!”

Q. Can I make an oc for your dorm?

A. Of course! Just please run it by me first!

Q. Your ask box is closed! Where can I send stuff?

A. Please send any asks about this dorm to @revivemyreverie !!! This is a pure database!

Q. Is there a dorm uniform reference?

A. It shall come soon. A certain Ramshackle girl must simply add her notes in.

What’s Coming…

To celebrate Cloche’ birthday (5/12), we will hold a Birthday Bash. Which includes a limited ask event where you can send Cloche your birthday wishes, and get a written or drawn response back! OC interactions are welcome too.

[Notes]

• Hello hello! For the past month, I’ve been working on this since I know I’ll be pretty darn busy once it’s actually May… (I don’t even know if I can make Epel art in time 😭😭)

• Compared to last year, I do think it’d be neat if I can actually make a groovy in time for the day- but that’ll depend on if I have the time/energy- The last couple months before graduation is hitting HARD.

• I’ve been debating on making an interview vignette but we’ll see-

• Since this is just a birthday thing and not mixed in with something else like last year, I think I’ll just keep this one simple(r) than before.

• Hehe- Bouquet’s gonna be a surprise ^^

• I’ll admit I was a little bit overwhelmed by last year, but it was fun regardless! I still have a wish saved from last year, which for some reason Tumblr flagged and didn’t let me see until months later, but I’m overall excited to grow up on this hell site with you all.

HI CERURURURUUUU HOW ARE YOUUUU HOPE YOU DOIN WELL!!! STAY HYDRATED PLEASE!!!

I see that your requests are open sooooo could I have a small scenario of a cute cafe date with fem Cater? If you're cool with writing fem Cater as a request that is!!

@reirei404 imma be so real, getting me to write about fem cater isn’t a problem. Getting me to stop is-

Date with Fem Cay Cay!!!

Fem Cater x reader

She’s at your doorstep ten minutes earlier than the time you two agreed on. Knocking the door softly… yet persistently. A steady rat-tat-tat until you open it. Cater’s leaning into the doorframe, giggling at how frazzled you look.

Aw, did you rush to greet lil’ ol’ Cay Cay?

How cute.

Cater insists on walking hand in hand with you to the cafe. Come on, don’t be so shy! She’s threading her fingers through yours, swinging it to the tempo of both of your footsteps. Never letting it go for one second,even while queuing up. If it’s taking awhile, Cater’s amusing herself by lifting up your hand and pressing little kisses into the back. Her lips graze over your knuckles, the back of your hand… every inch of your hand she could reach.

If you’re not a blushing, stuttering mess by the time it’s your turn to order, then is she even doing her job as a girlfriend? Cater’s slipping her arm around your waist, coaxing your hip towards hers. She chirps away at the server, asking for a table for two. One seat for her, and one for her adorable date!

Cater watches your finger drift around the menu, carefully picking out what to order. Goodness, you’re so cute when you’re focused just like that. As tempting as it is to take out her phone and snap a shot of that adorable mug, Cater does her best to resist. After all, this is something for her eyes only, hm?

Once both of you have got your food, Cater’s immediately setting to work. Twisting, poking food into place for the best shot on Magicam. She makes you pose for her camera as well, completing a little heart with both of your curved hands. After the shot is taken, she’s scooting closer to you, tilting the screen towards you.

Isn’t it just such a cute shot! You’re pretty photogenic, aren’t ya? As you’re staring at the photo, Cater’s slyly slipping her screen back into camera mode, snapping a few more pictures of you rapidly. Aw, don’t get mad! It’s just a few unglams of you. She won’t post this anywhere, she swears!

You trust Cay Cay, don’t you? Hehe, of course you do. You love her, after all.

Now, don’t be so mad. Cater’s dipping her fork into your desert, scooping up a piece. Leaning forward, she’s nudging it towards your lips, coaxing it towards your mouth. It’ll be her treat today! So please forgive her?

She’s beaming when you take a bite, laughing softly at the way you pout. Great Seven , she keeps saying this over and over again like some broken old record. But its the truth. The truest thing she has ever known.

You’re pretty cute, aren’t you?

#I love how you write her #THE GIRL #friend writing #days in the sun queue🌴

Love Potion💓(Leona x Reader)

Leona uses Yuu to poison himself during a private potion lesson. Curated for @jade-s-nymph's October writing event. (Terribly late bestie, I'm sorry!) Characters: Leona Kingscholar x Yuu!Reader Words: 3k (Yikes.) Notes: Leona speaks Swahili here I did my best translations so forgive me. 3rd Person POV. They/Them pronouns for Yuu. No physical description for Yuu. Leona is a bit...desperate here. Tagging: @leonistic @the-monday-witch @anevilbunnyinthehat @michininja @twstinginthewind @freakanzoyechoswandering-blog @twistedcece @thelamentknight @ghostlight00 @shortnessangel @bestmannequin2018 @kittycat0419 @cyn-write @beautyisfree @alexandria-selina @the-dumber-scaramouche @ang33333333l @hellolarro @mind-greenery @porcelain-animatronic @plutos-hell @the-v-lociraptor @beth-bethar00 @peskygirl13 @sinjaangels @savanaclaw1996 @queen-shiba @turtleducker @twst-eeps @the-nightingales-song (if ya ever wanna be tagged like my tagged posts or ask!)

-- Leona instructed them using only chess movements of course. He cycled through the pieces according to which way they needed to move, guiding them through a lesser-known section of Night Raven College. Yuu used the large tiles underneath their feet as the “board”, while the man teased in their ear about how they needed to “work on their memorization.” They could practically hear him smirking through the phone.

“Listen, my memory is just fine. Sorry if I only remember things that are actually relevant to-” They grunted, colliding into a dusty candelabra as they turned the corner.

“Heard that. Maybe watch where you're going too…” The man droned as if he could actually see what happened. “Shut up.” They looked up, finally spotting the familiar hallway that Leona had described. It looked similar to the alchemy room that was used for classes, but run down, abandoned, with ivy snaking up a dried up fountain. “Don’t need you anymore. I found it.” They ended the call, cutting off Leona’s next quip with a press of a button.

There was a small bloop as Leona hung up too, a few feet away. His arms were crossed, leaning against the stone wall beside the iron wrought door. He was wearing his usual uniform, dark waves flared around his shoulders. He slid his phone into his pocket, smirking down at them as he stepped from the shadows. “You.”

“Lion.” They rose a brow at him, no idea what his intentions were. After potions class he had requested that they meet him here. Since he had missed so many of his classes recently, he had been forced to retake some lessons with the first years. They rolled their eyes, having the luck of getting the man as their lab partner. “Your awful eager to get to work on our assignment all of a sudden, what’s the deal?”

The man tilted his chin in the air, a glimmer in his eye. “That’s not why I brought ya here, Partner,” Leona explained no more, opening the door for both of them to come in.

As they slid inside they wracked their brain to figure out what the hell he was talking about. “O-kay…”

The door closed by itself with a loud creak, making Yuu jump.

There was so much to take in. Shelves and shelves of endless magical and medical ingredients. Rows of herbs and house plants spilled over the counters and dangled from pots that hung from the ceiling. Some were so overgrown to the point they looked like they sprouted from the walls themselves. The whole room was a circular shape and reminded them of what it might be like to be inside of a giant tree, the textured walls making them wanna run their fingers down the grooves.

“Whoa,” Yuu gasped.  “...From the outside this place looked abandoned but-” They ran a knuckle across a potted bird of paradise leaf, before sticking their finger in the soil. It was damp, seemed someone had watered it recently. “...Who even tends to this place?”

“.Things aren't always what they appear.” He smirked at their bewilderment. “No idea. But, I’ve seen a few of the teachers sniffing around here. Crewel taking his smoke break.” The man sauntered near the back, leaning against an alchemy table. Leona’s eyes followed their movements as they wandered around the room. “Why? Ya worried about all the plants?” He mused.

“Well, yeah. It’s my job according to Crowley.” They furrowed their brow like it was obvious. “They…have feelings too.” They walked over to a violet plant on the counter, running a fingertip over one of its unopened purple buds.  “...in a way.” 

“Feelings, huh?” Leona’s deep voice echoed, it was so sound-proof in the room they couldn’t even hear the normal buzz of activity back from the halls. Everyone was scrambling to get ready for Halloween after all. They had to get back to the Ramshackle soon, to get Grim and themselves into their costumes. Come to think of it, didn’t Leona too?

For some reason, they thought back to their first day working in the botanical garden at Night Raven College. “...Maybe that’s why I volunteered to take over most of the gardening jobs at school...” They scoffed, recalling the whole ordeal and Crowely’s early treatment of them as a glorified janitor and gardener. “...Hmph.” They lowered their hands from the plant, propping them on their hips.

The man's ears perked up. “Really?” He tapped his chin, a half-cocked smile as he looked at them. “And what does a flower think about, hm?”

Yuu let their head fall back in dismay, giving him an exasperated look. “It’s not like that. I’m not saying they have feelings like people or animals. I’m saying...when properly taken care of, being around plants is kinda…nice. Comforting, I guess. You can hear them if you listen.” They grinned over at him before closing their eyes, laying hands on the base of the violet plant in front of them. “You can feel them move, kinda like a little heartbeat… A small, incoherent murmur of contentness. A baby, knowing nothing but hunger, thirst, and  wanting attention.”  They mumbled out loud. “They like it when you talk to them…” 

They huffed and opened their eyes when they sensed the man close behind them, craning to look over their shoulder at the same flower they were, the ends of his braids brushing their cheek.

The warmth of his chest soaked into their through their clothes as he snorted at their theory. “The oxygen from the plants…it’s just helping you think clearer. The chlorophyll, in the cells where a plant stores its energy…is the “life” that you sense.”

“I’m passing basic biology, thanks…” Yuu wasn’t sure if the man was being an ass on purpose or just genuinely trying to explain something to them. Sometimes they still weren't sure. 

He clicked his tongue in their ear, using one arm to lean on the desk as he chuckled. “Easy, tiger. All I’m saying is…you should trust what you see more. What’s right in front of you.”

Yuu furrowed their brow, glancing back at him before masking their nervousness with a laugh. They were suddenly so aware of how very alone and close they were.  “Whatever.” Yuu spun all the way around to face him, folding their arms. “So…why are we here again?”

“Watch.” Was all Leona said. He grabbed a nearby flask, reaching around Yuu to do it, before moving back over to the alchemy table.

It all happened in the span of a few minutes. They tried to keep up with Leona’s movements, but he had definitely done this before, quickly and efficiently going through the brewing process of a potion, rivaling only Vil with how precise. 

“Sheesh,” Yuu moved closer to observe, jumping up to sit on the counter by the table, and holding their school bag in their lap. “...talk about feeling inadequate.” They muttered, trying to mentally note everything they saw. 

 A few handfuls of passion flower pods, what looked like beetle shells, some bitter leaves, and a few mystery vials of liquid as well. The man broke the flower pods up with his fingers, wiping his hand on his uniform pants before using a tool to crush them into a paste with the other ingredients. 

He heated it all up with a small boiler until everything dissolved, a bored look on his face as he waited for it all to be done. Strangely enough, as it cooled back down the dark paste changed to a translucent magenta color, a few bubbles bursting at the top. Finally, he took a small spoon and skimmed off the top layer of residue from the mixture, scraping it into a jar before transferring the brew to a small bottle.

“Here.” When the man was done he turned to their spot on the counter and handed it to them.

Their mind was still reeling from what they just witnessed, the curved sparkling glass still warm from Leona’s touch in their hands. “Huh?” They arched a brow at the concoction.

A low, velvety laugh escaped his lips as he tapped the bottle with his nail. “Go on, make this taste good for me. That’s what you were braggin’ in class about earlier to your little friend, weren’t ya?” Leona said simply, not elaborating on anything else.

Yuu huffed. ”W-what? You-” They shook their head. It had been just a dumb boast during Crewel’s lesson, mostly because Ace was trying to tell them that his potion was better than theirs. They brushed him off by assuring them that even though they didn’t have magic, they at least could make their potion taste good. 

They were taken aback but…not surprised Leona remembered such an off-handed comment. That’s just how he was. 

Always, watching them.

“But…I-I have no idea what this even is! Or if any flavor-enhancing ingredients will counteract the effect. And I have to-” 

“You saw what I used- This is a simple, but potent brew.” He turned his head to the side to eye them, one of his ears flicking down. “It’s not allowed in class, of course, but…harmless, to you. Trust me. You can’t fuck up my mixture, I’ve already set it. Herbivore-proofed it, if you will.” His lids fell over his sharp green eyes, and a wry smile came to his lips. “If you can't make this simple brew taste good then, what good will you ever be at more complex potions? Hm, Herbivore?” He taunted. “Your words to Trappola will mean nothing.”

“You-” They growled, snatching the bottle from him, staring down at their reflection in the swirling pinks. Yuu knew this game, he was purposely inciting them. Unfortunately, the man knew exactly how to press their buttons and…he was right. “...Is that a challenge, Lion?”

Leona said nothing and crossed his arms, arching his brow at them. “I’m waiting.”

“Shh.” Yuu hushed him, taking off their school bag and dropping it with a clatter, still sitting up on the counter. They brought the mix up to their nose, sniffing it first. “Ugh.” They groaned and a pungent almost fishy aroma hit their nose, there was something earthy in there too, almost like coffee or tea. Probably the bitter leaves, they thought.

Against their better judgment, they took a sip on the tip of their tongue to taste it. People always looked at them crazy when they did this in class. But why would they give someone else a brew they hadn’t tasted themselves? It just made sense.

Yuu’s eyes moved over to Leona who stared back at them somewhat bewildered by this as he uncrossed his arms. “Hey, that’s cheating.” He growled.

“Wooow, look who’s all uppity about cheating now…” They scoffed. “What? I had to taste it first.” They licked their lips trying to take in the flavor best they could. The water he used to combine it was seawater, the sudden aftertaste hitting the back of their throat and making them gag. “Blech…plus I trust that you’re not gonna poision me or something.” Smirking, they turned their body toward the tint curio, crossing their legs and looking over the labels on the vials available. “Fish…” They said aloud. “Then…citrus…?” Yuu did what they usually did, working intuitively. Besides Crewel’s classes, they obviously had never received any training in this sort of thing. They went on to add plenty of lemon drops, honey, and even some star anise. Using a sweet and sour combo to mask the flavors. 

All the yellow ingredients had changed the color to a slightly deeper shade of pink but otherwise…no bad reactions. “Okay,” Swirling everything around, they presented the flask with both hands back to him. “Here I think that’s bet-”

Leona wrapped both hands around the vial, sandwiching their fingers against the curved glass with his, so they both shared custody of the brew now. 

“Hey-” 

He kept eye contact as he forced their hands and the bottle toward his mouth. His adams apple bobbed as he bent his head back and swallowed the potion in one swig, punctuating with a grumble. Leona was one of the toughest judges, especially during culinary classes. 

He slowly let go, his gaze shifting to the side. “Mmm, it's…way too sweet, but not awful.”

“Well hey,” They defended themself. “Everyone likes my potions. I guess for you…more sour.” They rolled their eyes, sticking out their tongue at him before setting the empty bottle back on the table. 

Leona made a sound of affirmation in his throat and gave them a small nod, one of his fangs peeking out as he smiled. “Well, well. Good job. You pass.”

“Great…Thank you, professor.” They droned sarcastically. “At least one of us will actually graduate on time then.” Yuu crossed their arms and bit their lip, smirking across at him from their vantage point.

“Tch, guess so.” The man huffed at the cheap jab, baring his teeth, but eventually smiled back too. Afterward, his eyes burned into them, lids falling lower and lower over his gaze.

“...W-what?”  Yuu asked, a small bubble of warmth forming in their chest at the sudden attention.

“You…weren’t supposed to taste it too.”

“Huh?”

“The potion." Leona's breaths seemed to get heavier as he went to wipe a bit of leftover drool from the corner of his mouth. "Awe, well. It shouldn’t affect ya.” He said, then cleared his throat. Gradually, an uncharacteristically soft look crept onto his face. His ears lowered, a tiny wrinkle forming between his brows. “Tell me somethin’ ...You skirt all around this school, worryin' about everyone's business. Even worryin’ about the feelings of the littlest of flowers. But, tell me. What about…me?” He was so close now, waiting, hands firmly planted on either side of them on the alchemy table.

“You…?” They felt a bit light-headed as he drew near, processing his words. The dust motes that floated around the man’s face had a strangely prismatic sparkle.

“Well, yeah. S-sometimes.” They confessed, chuckling before swallowing the lump in their throat, rubbing their arm furiously under their sleeve. How could they not? He had been a presence in their life for a while now. But, it was more. He haunted them like a ghost, always finding them in the strangest of places. Always bumping into them, as if it was his design all along.

Leona didn’t move in response, but his eyes shook behind his shadowed lids and after a second he laughed out loud. It was an unusual laugh for him, uneven and fleeting. It was…like he was drunk or something. He put his hands in the air like he had been caught, pressing his lips into a resigned smile.

“...Good.” His eyes captured theirs, silently demanding their attention. Leona’s warm breath came over their face, causing them to shiver as he whispered. “...’Cause there’s hasn’t been a single night since you stepped on my tail...that you haven’t kept me awake, Beast.” It was a confession, a sin.

The man grabbed their wrist. pressing their palm flat against his chest, their fingertips grazing the bare skin under his shirt. “So? C'mon now.” He panted. “Why don’t you put me outta my misery, then? Say it outloud.” Leona didn’t move after this, standing his ground. Yuu’s head was swimming.  They had never seen him quite like this, begging, his rough edges so smooth. “Yes. I…do think of you, Leona But-” The words they had kept down for so long finally regurgitated, leaving a sweet taste in their mouth as their body grew warm.  “I’m just a nobody, why do you-.” 

Leona was quick to scoff at their answer. “And…?” He whispered, inhaling deeply as he moved even closer, tail flicking behind him. One of his arms snaked around their waist, catching them from falling back against the table, the glassware behind Yuu rattling.

“And everyone says I’m just the lazy dorm leader of Savanaclaw. So what?” The man buried his nose in their hair, before moving down to their ear. “...It don’t change anything.”  He grumbled, his warm breath over their neck. “...You make me crazy.”

Yuu shuddered as they were seized so casually, a tingle zipping down their spine. “Oh?” Was all they could manage to get from their mouth. They removed their hand from his collar to rest on his shoulder instead, letting their fingers tangle in his messy hair.

“Just, ‘oh?’ Huh?” Leona’s chuckle echoed and he took this as confirmation, squeezing them closer to his chest. “That’s all you have ‘ta say for yourself?” His distinct cinnamon and orange cologne flooded their senses as he brought his head down to tuck into the crook of their neck. The tip of his nose traced over their jaw as he nuzzled under their chin.

Yuu sighed as their mouth fell open, heart hammering away. They let their head slump backward. What he was doing felt sacred, like a secret, they didn’t want to interrupt him, so...they allowed him to go on. With each of Leona’s ragged breaths, their chest only squeezed tighter, fingers further tangling in his hair. He tucked a few baby hairs behind their ear, moving them out of his way to continue his exploration of their neck, leaving behind the tingle of his cinnamon scent. He treated the flesh like it was the most interesting thing in the world, retracing his movements several times as if memorizing them.

“Ah-” Yuu gasped as they were lifted from the table. They still couldn’t meet his eyes, but they held onto both the man’s shoulders for stability, squeezing their shaky knees around his waist. Their first instinct was to freeze until they realized it was…nice to be held in this way, safe in a lion’s grasp. Yuu locked their arms around the man’s neck tighter, giving him access to more of their neck, craving his further attention.

Leona arms were shaking as he held them up, not allowing any space to exist between their bodies, and pressing their chest flat against his. He sighed wearily before he continued, murmuring incoherently into their skin. His voice was raspy in their ear, like a needle scratching softly against a record.

Relief.

Another shiver wracked their body as they latched their fingers onto the edges of his shirt collar again. It was surreal as the man’s wet lips made contact several times on the most sensitive parts of their neck, not missing any of the exposed skin they allowed him. 

Kissing felt like too weak of a word, it was much more intense than that. He was marking them.

“Mmm.” It was ritualistic and possessed as Leona mumbled each phrase against their neck in his native tongue, the occasional graze of a fang. “Ninachoweza kufikiria ni wewe tu…” (All I can think of is you…) His lips glided softly over their skin as he made his way up to their ear, his husky voice reverberating through their whole body. They knew it was for their ears only.

“Leona...” Yuu’s body went completely limp as they let him go on and on, not sure when he would ever stop. Even though they couldn’t understand what he was saying, they felt the intensity with which he held them, like they would disappear if he let go for a second.

The man panted, catching them again as the plants clinked against each other behind Yuu. “Not getting away that easily…” He chuckled. “...Tumeumbwa tuwe pamoja.” (...We were created to be together.)

The longer it went on, the lighter their head got and the weaker they became, resting their head on the man’s shoulder while he went on.  

Leona in turn only squeezed them tighter. “Hakuna kama wewe.” (There is…no one like you.) His lips lingered longer and longer each time his lips closed the distance, tugging on the collar of their uniform, as if to ask permission for more.

Insatiable.

“Leona…” They said again, but their voice came out small, becoming drunk themselves on his worship. It was infectious. “What…was that potion…?” They whispered as their eyes rolled up to the skylight, the once moody beastmen clinging around them like a lovesick kitten.

The man only chuckled against their flesh at this question and only resumed his diligent work. “...What do ya think it was?” Yuu’s eyes widened, remembering Crewel’s lesson today on the most commonly used “forbidden” potion.

Love potion.
