In which Esme sneaks into NRC grounds to gift (Y/n) a flower bouquet.

Such a simple thing proves to be nearly impossible because the prefect's friends are determined to stop him at any cost.

Requested by @maruichio.

"(Y/n), oh (Y/n)! The sunshine of my life, will you humbly accept this bouquet of roses?"

A goofy smile graced Esme's lips, and there was a certain joyous swing to his walk. Yet, his left hand held onto the bouquet of roses with such care that he almost felt paranoid about carrying it around. He should have been feeling paranoid — he was walking on Night Raven College grounds right now!

From his previous visits, he knew that the students here weren't the most welcoming kind — especially after what happened at the VDC. However, that didn't deter him from risking everything to bring you a bouquet of flowers.

"Is this too much, Djali?" he asked and turned to the goat trotting beside him. "I mean, walking all this way just to give (Y/n) some flowers?"

The goat let out an affirmative bleat.

Esme let out a little huff while gently cradling the bouquet close to his chest. "Fine, I'll tone it down a little bit. Perhaps I should drop the speech. Even Neige said that I'm being kind of corny," he grumbled under his breath and rolled his eyes.

It was then that he reached a courtyard that he had to pass through. After making sure the coast was clear, he carefully set a foot out into the open — only to be swarmed by a group of students out of nowhere. It seemed like they had been trailing him for his entire stay, only having waited for a good place to ambush him.

Esme slowly raised his hands into the air, a sheepish yet charming grin on his lips. The ambushers made no attempt to detain him, leaving a safe distance to him. Esme's gaze trailed across their faces in curiosity — and, to his surprise, he recognised all of them! Some from the VDC, others purely from being your friends.

"Fiend of Night Raven College!" Epel shrieked at the top of his lungs. He already had his fists raised apprehensively, and if it weren't for Rook holding him back, he would have jumped onto Esme like a tiny yet feral beast already.

"What is a Royal Sword Academy student doing here on campus?" Ace asked and furrowed his eyebrows suspiciously. "Are you trying to infiltrate us? See how to upstage us next?"

"Guys, calm down. Che'nya is also from RSA, isn't he? Not all their students are bad..." Deuce trailed off sheepishly, for which everyone shot him an annoyed glare. He, however, stood strong and remained as the only physical barricade between Esme and the other students.

Grim had his paws on his hips, and his tail swished around behind him angrily. "This one is especially bad, though..." he hissed, narrowing his eyes at the brunet accusingly. "He's trying to woo (Y/n)."

A round of infuriated gasps went through the group of NRC students, followed by another round of furious whispers and hisses.

Jack merely let out a frustrated sigh upon realising how worked up his friends had become. "You think that he's trying to take the prefect away from us? I doubt it." However, his fellow schoolmates ignored him and continued fuelling each other's anger.

At the sight of the very restless student crowd by now, Esme grew restless and fidgety. His fingers drummed against the base of the bouquet in an attempt to calm his nerves — but when the shouting became too loud, he saw himself forced to intervene. "All of this is merely a misunderstanding, my friends. I wish you no harm..." he chimed, his green eyes sparkling innocently. "Now, if you would be so kind and let me pass..." Sadly, his attempt of escaping was hindered by someone grabbing his hand that held the flowers.

A startled look to his left revealed Rook, who wore an ecstatic expression on his face. After having inhaled the lovely scent of the fresh flowers, the blond removed his grasp and took several steps backwards. "Oh, what a magnificent arrangement of flowers!" Rook exclaimed giddily, all the while gesturing to the bouquet. "Roses of all sorts of colours, how lovely. Red roses symbolise love and admiration, purple ones symbolise infatuation and passion... What beautiful messages you try to convey, mon ami."

His monologue seemed to have worsened the mood.

"Flowers?" Grim shrieked at the top of his lungs. "So he's serious about the whole seducing my henchhuman thing!"

"Right?" Ace grumbles under his breath. "He's trying to take the prefect away from us, for real!"

The entire crowd's yelling died down, however, when an ominous presence waded through the middle. It was none other than Leona, whose ears were laid flat onto his head in fury. He let his sharp eyes wander across the crowd, trying to find the one responsible for it. "Oi, what's this whole ruckus about?" the lion beastman hissed at the crowd. "You better have a good reason to wake me up so rudely from my nap..."

Behind him, an excited Ruggie was busy rubbing his hands together in delight. "Oh, this ought to be good... Man, I should have brought some popcorn!"

The brief distraction was Esme's only chance to bolt, and he knew that. Without hesitating, he clutched the bouquet close to his chest and dared a few careful steps backwards. Then, when he noticed that the others were still distracted, he broke out into a full-blown sprint.

"Djali, it's time to run!" he yelled at his goat.

The goat promptly scrambled off after him, following him down the corridor through which he had decided to flee.

"Get him!" the angry crowd roared and pushed past Leona to apprehend the intruder.

Esme had always been swift on his feet, as quick as lightning and as nimble as a monkey. Years of living alone on the streets had taught him one or two valuable lessons. He cut corners expertly and jumped over all sorts of obstacles without breaking a sweat. However, the frail bouquet in his hands was what worried him the most... But he hadn't walked all this way, just to hand you nothing! Throwing away the flowers was no option, even if they slowed him down significantly.

As Esme darted past a vending machine, he accidentally bumped into Idia, who let out a whimper. A gasp of realisation escaped the Ignihyde dormleader's blue lips once he realised who the culprit had been. He watched after the escapee with large eyes. "Eek! I've never seen a Royal Sword Academy student in real life before!" Mere seconds later, the angry mob of students passed by him. A giddy smile decorated Idia's lips as he rushed back to his dorm. "Ortho won't believe me!"

The mob was closing in on Esme, and his head start was about to be obsolete. Just as all hope was lost, he spotted a door that led to the restrooms. Increasing his pace for the last few metres, he basically sprinted over to the door and threw himself inside — just in time. As he had his back pressed against the door from inside the restrooms, he could listen to the crowd rushing past him outside.

His breathing still heavy, he nonetheless felt the sweet feeling of relief rush over him.

"What do we have here?"

Esme's eyes snapped open in surprise, and he soon found a tall, blond student leaning against one of the basins. It took him an embarrassingly long time to recognise him. It was none other than Vil who stood in front of him, now suspiciously eyeing him from top to bottom.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, I—" Esme stammered out.

"I recognise you from the VDC... and your blazer— you're with the Royal Sword Academy, aren't you?" Vil quirked an eyebrow and stepped closer. "What kind of business would you have here at Night Raven College?"

"It's a private matter, sir!" Esme was soon back to being himself, now shooting the blond a sly smile before stepping out of the restrooms. "I'll leave you be, now! Ta-ta!"

Once Esme had made it outside, he was immediately spotted by the angry mob. "There he is!" They stood by the other end of the corridor, far away from him by now.

When Vil had hurried out of the restrooms, he was faced with the angry mob rushing past him. There was no trace of Esme anymore. "I can't believe this..." Vil muttered under his breath, massaging his temples in frustration.

Esme, with newfound stamina, zoomed through corridors and courtyards again. The crowd, slowly but surely, was catching up to him again. Just as he had ran out of breath, a hand out of nowhere pulled him behind a pair of curtains. Though his vision was still blurry from the sudden gesture, Esme soon found himself in a small alcove with two other people — he recognised them from the VDC, as well.

"Come here!" Kalim chimed and patted the brunet's shoulder. "You'll be safe with us."

"What— you're trying to help me?" Esme furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief, wondering if this was some sort of trap.

"Yes," Jamil grumbled, "I don't get why we're helping him, either..."

"Hey, it's not right that the others are chasing you around! You're here to see the prefect, aren't you? I see no harm in that."

The twinkle of kindness in Kalim's eyes was somehow enough to assure Esme of his genuineness. Years of living on the streets had taught him how to read people and given him a gut feeling that was almost always right when it came to trusting others.

A grateful smile decorated Esme's lips. "Oh well, thank you. It's unexpected to find help here as a Royal Sword Academy student."

"Don't worry about it!" Then, Kalim's eyes fell on the bouquet of flowers that didn't look as fresh as they had been when the chase had started. He furrowed his eyebrows before eagerly offering, "But oh, your flowers look sad and weak... Would they like some water? I could provide some!"

While Esme was busy being chased around by the angry mob of students, his familiar Djali had also been busy evading the apprehensive hands of the smaller crowd of students chasing him. It was a strange thing, but the goat soon found himself being carried into the Mostro Lounge like a costly treasure, no longer on the run.

"Look, Azul! I found this strange animal," Floyd chimed as he lowered the goat onto one of the many tables. "Such a cute animal, no? I love land animals!"

Jade furrowed his eyebrows. "That's a goat, Floyd..."

Azul looked just as confused as his vice dorm leader. "A... goat? Where did you find it?" he stuttered out while watching Floyd pull the animal into his arms again.

"Some students were chasing it around! The poor little animal." Floyd clicked his tongue in frustration, only to brighten up when Djali bleated happily and licked his face. "But don't worry, little goat... I'll look out for you! Nobody will ever dare to chase you around again." A fit of snickers escaped the eel's lips, and he continued to cradle the goat like a child.

"I didn't know Floyd liked animals this much," Azul muttered, flabbergasted.

Jade was merely smiling. "Well, he is full of surprises."

While Djali had found an unlikely friend at the Mostro Lounge, Esme was closer to his destination than ever. With Kalim's help and directions, he had managed to safely evade the people chasing him — and in the distance, he could already see the leafless trees that decorated the front yard of the Ramshackle mansion. His tired feet quickened their pace, and a flash of determination inhibited his green eyes.

"Almost there..." he muttered to himself, smiling.

Just as Esme had set sight on the gate that would allow him entry to your home, he spotted another group of students waiting there to confront him. A string of frustrated curses escaped his lips, especially so upon recognising the four students as the powerful Malleus and his three retainers.

"This is the one, Master Malleus! The enemy!"

"Calm down, Sebek... It's just a student from Royal Sword Academy..." Silver mumbled and rolled his eyes. "You don't have to be so hostile."

A scream escaped Esme when, suddenly, someone was prodding at his blazer and the emblems stitched onto it. Whipping his head around, he found none other than Lilia inspecting his clothes with a large smile. "Oh— I love your blazers! And sashes, oh my... so festive," the fae mumbled under his breath, a longing sigh escaping his lips. "Our school uniforms are always so dreary..." As suddenly as he had appeared, Lilia was gone again — back by the side of Malleus.

The dragon fae looked anything but amused as he glared at the RSA student. "So it is you that wants to harm the child of man that lives in these ruins?"

"I don't want to harm (Y/n)—"

"You have brought these flowers to poison the child of man!" Malleus interrupted him and pointed at the bouquet angrily. "How dare you!"

Lilia suddenly broke out into laughter. "I don't think so, Malleus. Unless the prefect is allergic to pollen, the flowers are pretty harmless."

Nonetheless, Malleus continued to stand in front of the gate, his soles firmly planted into the cobblestone. "I shall not let you pass!" he exclaimed and raised his hands defensively.

An exasperated sigh escaped Esme's lips while he fumbled with something on the inside of his blazer. "Well, you leave me no other choice..." he muttered after a while and removed his hand — to reveal a pink, round ball. He threw the missile at the ground. Upon collision, the ball dissipated into thick, pink fog that allowed him to slip away without further issues—

Well, Malleus threw a few blasts of fire into the mist, just to be sure. However, when the fog had cleared up again, Esme was nowhere to be seen.

The four Diasomnia students were left behind to discuss his sudden disappearance amongst themselves, not having realised that the intruder now stood at the back door to the run-down mansion.

"(Y/n), let me in!" Esme hissed and banged his fists against the door in panic. "Let me in!"

At once, the pitter-patter of footsteps reached his ears, a sound that drew a relieved sigh from his lips. "I'm coming!" you yelled, rushing over to the door in the back. Upon having twisted the door knob and pulled the door open, you were greeted with a familiar sheepishly smiling brunet. You furrowed your eyebrows in concern, remaining frozen where you stood. "Esme? What are you doing here? And why do you look like you've been through hell and back?"

A little chuckle escaped his lips, and he used his free hand to at least try and put his hair back into order again. His pink headband looked like it would slip down any moment now, and the ends were even singed. But, even though his blazer was torn and dirtied in some parts, he couldn't bring himself to care, now that you stood in front of him.

The bouquet, the true reason why he now stood in front of you, remained hidden behind his back. Like a giddy child, he grinned at you eagerly. "It's a long story... All that matters is that I have a present for you! Here, take this bouquet of flowers—" Thus, he pulled the bouquet out from behind his back — only to find the flowers in a horrible condition. Some had been burnt to a crisp, others had already lost all their petals on the way. A disheartened frown appeared on his face as he lowered the bouquet again. "Oh no... the poor flowers are destroyed... I'm so sorry."

For a while, you couldn't do anything but stare at the wilted flowers in surprise. His heart thumped wildly in his ribcage, especially so when you wouldn't voice your thoughts.

But, when you broke out into squeals of happiness, a wave of relief crashed over him. In one smooth motion, you had pulled him into your arms. "Esme, Thank you! Don't worry about the bouquet," you mumbled into his shoulder. When you pulled away again, you were smiling from ear to ear. "It's the gesture that counts. And look, this brave flower survived..."

Carefully, you plucked the only remaining rose out of the bouquet — it was a red one, vibrant and healthy.

His wonky smile turned into a proud grin. "Huh, at least I have one flower to gift you, I guess."

You shyly twirled the stem of the thornless rose in between your fingers. "Thank you, Esme. I appreciate the gesture of having invaded enemy territory to see me," you muttered, still flabbergasted and impressed.

Esme put on the charming grin he was known for. "Of course! Like you said, I would go through hell and back, just to see you."

hiii i love your for tuna series!!! your writing is so awesome!!

i saw that your requests where open so

is it okay if i request y/n/yuu meeting their friend from their world in twisted Wonderland? it could go really angsty or be like really funny.

Lean on Me

A/N: hey nonnie. I had a rough week, so I went for funny. I refer to friends as Friend One, and friend two, so you can fill in whoever you want.

Special thanks to@wolken-himmel for allowing me to live out my fantasies, and use her oc Esme. 😁 This is me formally asking for your blessing for our wedding.

3k followers masterlist

It had started as a normal day. Well sort of. It wasn't often the RSA students were allowed on NRC turf without being murdered. Azul Ashengrotto, ever the business man, was hosting an RSA/NRC karaoke night at the lounge.

You wouldn't have even gone…but you heard he would be there.

Esme Devance. The prettiest man you had ever seen. If he asked you to jump off a bridge, you'd do it, just to get a glimpse of that mischievous smile.

And the way your first year friends insisted he was terrible and you shouldn't even look at him, you knew he might be a little interested in you as well.

You sipped a glittering purple drink, and saw his distinct head of hair, held back by a purple bandana, move through the crowd. You walked over to him.

"Well, I'll be. Didn't think you show your face here, Esme Devance."

He turned around with a grin. "I brought a bodyguard. But they'll double as a decoy when I ask you to sing with me. Y/N, meet our hero. Friend One."

As friend one turned to greet you, you dropped the glass in your hand, shattered glass, and purple liquid spreading quickly around your feet.

"Y/N! You're here too?" They gasped, moving to hug you tightly.

"How can this be happening? Are you even real?"

"So all three of us are here?"

"Three?!?!"

Friend one pulled out his phone, which you quickly noticed was far nicer than yours, and flashed a pic of them with Friend Two in front of Noble Bell.

"What!" You shouted.

"I tried to convince their headmaster to transfer them to RSA so that the two, now three, of us non magic people could be comfortable, byt it was a no go."

You remembered Esme was here, and looked up at him, his head tilted to the side.

"Now that I think about it, how did no one put the fact that you both showed up from another dimension, on the same day, together?"

It…it did seem kind of stupid. But considering your headmage was incompetent, and didn't even know about Friend One, you could wave that one away.

"Well, we have space in Ramshackle, if you want to transfer here."

Both friend one and Esme grimaced.

"Look, Y/N. It's not about you or anything. It's just, I have kind of a bias towards RSA, and would rather you transfer there."

"I would like that too," Esme grinned, and friend one noticed the crush for the first time.

"Well I'd have to bring my cat," you pouted, leaving out the riot that would start if you tried to leave.

"Cat?"

The timing couldn't have been more perfect said cat and your friends to start yelling your name and shoving students out of their way.

"Y/N!"

"Hench human, we need you! Desperately!" Grim said with a growl as he crawled his way up your front, hissing at Esme for good measure.

"I'm going through something right now. What could you possibly need?" You groaned, scratching Grim's ears out of habit.

"Um…" he and the other first years, save for Jack who seemed wildly embarrassed, shared scared glances.

"We didn't get that far…" Epel muttered, earning an elbow in the side from Ace.

"Uh huh. Well friends, this is friend one. From my world."

Their eyes all widened. Deuce grabbed your arm.

"Does that mean you can go home? Please don't go, prefect!"

"Human! I will chain you down if I have to!"

"No fucking way can you leave in the middle of the year!"

You made eye contact with friend one, mouthing 'help'. Meanwhile, friend one took a step behind Esme. Maybe transferring to RSA wouldn't be that bad….

"No! Friend One has been here as long as I have! So we have to ask Crowley if he knows what that could mean!"

"We should get Friend Two over here. This concerns them as well."

"Yeah cause it's so easy to just pop on over for a visit," you rolled your eyes.

Esme and friend one shared a side eye.

"Don't worry about it," they said, calling friend two

….

"Heh heh, well, you see, it's meant to be an exchange program of sorts."

"Sorry?"

"Right now, three mages are attending college at a non magical university."

The three of you stared, jaws on the floor. Finally, friend one asked what was on all your minds.

"Isn't this illegal? Like aren't we supposed to fill out paperwork, and give consent for an exchange program?"

"Did the mages give consent? Are they even still alive? Our world has a tendency to cut things open that it doesn't understand," friend two's voice was laced with concern.

"They were alive and well last we checked."

'Wait! You can check! So we're not fucking stuck here!"

'Sevens!" All three of you shouted.

"Aw look how well they've adapted to the culture!" Crowley said with a sob.

"This whole project is about peace!" Ambrose, headmage of RSA, said, as though it explained everything.

"Why did you lie then?" You said loudly, your other two friends nodding vigorously.

"You certainly would have tried to return home!" Crowley said, Ambrose nodding sagely.

"Duh, we're not stupid," friend two pouted.

"But think of all the friends you've made along the way!"

"The number of things you've guilted me into, when it was your fault all along, are staggering," you growled, causing the very brave Crowley to flinch in his seat.

"We want to go home. I'm pretty sure you dropped me into some kind of weird religious cult," Friend Two said, the tears rising to their eyes.

"Okay, let's all calm down," Friend One said. "We don't actually want to go home, we just want to transfer Y/N and friend two to RSA."

"Okay, honestly? I don't know how I feel about going to live with a bunch of rich pricks. I really want you two to transfer to NRC."

"I want to go home!"

"And I am not transferring to a place where my own classmates hypnotize me and lock me in their rooms for nefarious reasons!"

"Where did you even hear that?"

"Your red headed friend told me!"

"Home, home, home!"

Ambrose and Crowley, meanwhile, were allowing the three of you to fight, as they slowly snuck out of the room, heaving a sigh of relief, as they leaned against the closed door.

As your senior

Note: I am not a great writer , I specialize in writing jokes for no one but myself . so this might come out a bit clunky I apologise .

And second , this is just a small interaction I wrote between Esme Devance , @wolken-himmel 's oc and my own. So please check her blog out .

Thirdly , Orion is my oc , he's a third year RSA student twisted from both the trident and king triton from the Little Mermaid . His full name is Orion Vasileios (I honestly just put this here for my own sake)

Aaaaand that's all .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Choir practice ended early today , yet some students decided to linger around seeing as the music room is rather spacious . Orion was one of the students , as a third year student , he had volunteered to look after the hoard seeing as their usual choir teacher was preoccupied .

Usually when Orion has to look after his fellow students , there is mischief involved , whether it was a squabble or pranksters , he has seen it all .

But surprisingly , today was a quiet day. Most of the students who stayed behind were just chattering amongst themselves , finishing up assignments or scrolling on their phone .

Relieved , he had decided to find somewhere to rest , noticing from a glance , a second-year student who was daydreaming , Esme Devance .

“Mind if I sat here?”

Despite his previous dream-like state , Esme didn’t seem surprised to see his senior . “Ah .. Orion . Yes you can sit here . “

“Something bothering you, Devance? “, Orion asked in a low baritone voice , he knew that Esme wasn’t one to be daydreaming often , usually the second-year was wide-awake , aware with walls up around . This was the first time he had seen Esme so …. Out of it.

“... I guess you could say that.” Orion watches as Esme hugs his own figure tighter, as if to shield himself away from the world. Figuring it’s best to not pry any further , Orion switches the topic.

“ Did you know that eels have horrible eyesight?”

Orion asked with a serious face , his blonde hair shimmering in the sunlight as he leaned back .

“I didn’t know that.” Esme replied .

“Did you also know that if you whisper beep boop to yourself it makes you feel better?” Orion asked with a laugh .

A small chuckle came from Esme , “I never knew you were such a jokester .”

Orion flashed Esme a toothy grin , “Thanks , I try. “

Esme laughed again , wiping away a fake tear , he replied , “Was that your attempt at cheering me up?”

“Did it work?”

“It did . Thanks Orion .”

“No problem Devance.” Orion smiled , he reached into his pant pocket and gave Esme a golden star sticker the size of a child’s palm. “Here . Chin up a bit , whatever is happening in life right now will eventually fade into shadows , so remember to shine bright like the stars of the sky. “

… Oh wow he really just pulled out his non-existent poem skills from nowhere . Fortunately , Esme seemed to look at the bigger picture , with a soft smile the second year accepted the sticker , “Do you always carry giant stickers on you all the time?”

“Who knows? Maybe I do , maybe I don't .”

“ Thanks . “

“Heh ..I’m just doing my job as your senior.”
