Cookie's Writing Challenge Day One: Sweets

Prompt of the day: Sweets

Pairing: Riddle Rosehearts x Elyssabeth Alcyone (OC)

Genre: Fluff

Summary: Riddle tries to make a strawberry cheesecake for the prefect after learning that it's her favorite.

Warning: Might be a little OOC; the writer's craving fluff again. Also a bit rusty in writing so maybe a few grammatical errors here and there. I got carried away so it's kinda lengthy ^^;

Cookie's 18th Birthday Bash Countdown Event

Cookie's Writing Challenge Prompts

Day Two: Sunflowers >

"Nothing compares with a sweet treat after studying..." Elyssabeth sighed in delight as she savored the sweetness of the strawberry tart.

It was an ordinary day, and as usual, the Ramshackle Dorm prefect spent her afternoon in Heartslabyul's rose garden studying with its housewarden.

She wouldn't admit it loudly, but this is her favorite part of the day. There is nothing else but her, him, the garden, and sweets.

"I'm delighted to see you enjoying yourself, Prefect... Hm?"

"What's wrong?" Elyssabeth eyed Riddle curiously.

"Oh. Nothing. It's just–" Riddle looked down at the plate of strawberry tart in front of him. "the strawberry tart tastes a little different than usual."

Elyssabeth tilted her head. "Different...? Oh! You must've gotten the tart I made."

"You made this?" Riddle blinked in surprise.

"Yes. Does it taste bad...?"

"No, no! It's delicious–!" The redhead cleared his throat to compose himself. "I was simply caught off-guard because it tastes a little different from Trey's."

"I see..." Elyssabeth let out the breath she was unconsciously holding and beamed at him. "I'm glad you liked it."

"...I never knew you could bake," Riddle says as he cuts a piece of his tart.

"I'm not surprised," Elyssabeth hums. "Most people have the same reaction as yours when I say I like and bake sweets. They say I don't look like someone who likes sweet things."

"They're quite wrong with that assumption."

"Oh my, how perceptive of you, Mr. Housewarden. Have I gotten your attention so much that you notice even the smallest details about me?" The girl chuckled when her teasing made Riddle's cheeks red.

"Who wouldn't notice your fondness for sweet food when they see how many plates of pastries you can gobble up in one sitting?!" Riddle huffs.

"Aww, and here I thought I finally managed to steal your heart," Elyssabeth sighs dramatically. She let out another chuckle when the redhead glared at her.

"Changing the subject, how did you learn how to make sweets?" Riddle took a sip from his teacup to hide his still-red cheeks.

"My mother is a pastry chef and owns a café specializing in desserts. We used to make my favorite strawberry cheesecake together when I was a kid, and then it progressed to me learning different recipes from her and two of my uncles. The rest is history."

Riddle felt a pang of sadness in his chest when he noticed a gleam of loneliness and homesickness in Elyssabeth's eyes.

She likes to tease him and is constantly smiling whenever she's with the friends she made in NRC, so it seems like she is doing alright, but this moment of vulnerability made him wonder if all of that was just an act to get herself through the day.

"...You must miss your family, huh?"

"Pardon?"

"You're suddenly thrown into a different world and separated from your family with no sure chance of returning, so it's understandable for you to feel homesick. I admit I don't have a close relationship with my parents unlike other students, so I cannot say I can relate to what you're experiencing."

Riddle put his teacup down to its saucer. There was a thick silence between them for a moment, and only then did he realize that he had spoken his thoughts out loud.

"Forgive me, I've spoken out of line."

Elyssabeth raised her hand. "Don't apologize. You... have a point. I cannot deny that I am homesick. However..." she smiled at him tenderly. "Nothing will come out of me moping in a corner. If I want to get back home, I need to find a way, no matter how impossible it may seem. I appreciate your concern, though."

"...If you say so."

A grin made its way to her face once again.

"Alright, that's enough talking about heavy topics. As much as I'd like to extend our time together, I must excuse myself since I need to check on Grim to see if he's doing his homework or not."

Riddle chuckled. "It must be hard looking after a troublemaker like him. If you need some help with disciplining him, just say the word."

"He's a headache, sure, but he's not that bad. He has a way to make things brighter in Ramshackle. Anyways, I must thank you for the lovely time I had, Mr. Housewarden. Until next time."

"Likewise."

After seeing her out, Riddle went back to the conversation they had earlier.

"...A strawberry cheesecake, huh?"

"Trey, are you in here?"

"...Riddle? Do you need something?"

Another ordinary day. As usual, Trey Clover was working in the kitchen when Riddle peeked from the kitchen door.

"Not exactly. I was just wondering if we have the ingredients to make a strawberry cheesecake."

"Strawberry cheesecake? We do, although not much. If you want strawberry cheesecakes for the next Unbirthday party, then we need to stock on–"

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Trey blinked when Riddle cut him off.

"You don't need to make strawberry cheesecakes for the Unbirthday party. I'm just... in the mood for one right now. And I was hoping you could help me make one."

The vice-housewarden raised an eyebrow at his friend's strange behavior before an idea came to his mind that made him smile.

"Ah, I see. So you finally knew what the prefect's favorite food was."

His smile became a teasing grin when Riddle flinched at what he said. Bingo.

"It's to console a homesick friend."

"Right. Of course."

He laughed when the redhead frowned at him.

"It's a nice idea to make her favorite food," Trey says as he puts the ingredients and utensils on the kitchen counter.

"...You think so?" Riddle looked at the third year with uncharacteristic nervousness in his eyes.

"Mmhm. And I'm sure she'll appreciate it." Trey gave his housewarden an assuring smile.

"So, shall we begin making a strawberry cheesecake?"

"Finished at last!"

Riddle smiled as he watched Elyssabeth stretch her arms upward after finishing the last of her assignments. He put two plates in front of them.

"Good job. Take a break."

"Thank you."

The girl paused when she saw what was on her plate.

"This is..."

"It's a strawberry cheesecake. It's been weighing on my mind since our last conversation. You've always been going out of your way to help Heartslabyul, and I realized that I've never properly given my thanks to you."

Riddle took a deep breath before continuing.

"I know it's not the same as the way your mother made it for you, and I know it's not enough to quell your homesickness, but I hope you know that your friends are here for you. We're here for you. And you can talk to us anytime you want."

"...Riddle."

He winced when he heard her say his name.

"That's– that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. And..."

Elyssabeth held her fork and took a piece of the cheesecake and smiled.

"The cheesecake's delicious. Thank you."

Riddle smiled back at her after a few moments.

He wouldn't admit it, but she may have succeeded a bit in stealing his heart.

Im so honored you took up my suggestion?? 🙏 (hope you are fine btw )

Anyways that being said I'd like to participate :D

Name: Emory (she/her)

Age: 16

Fandom: Riddle Rosehearts (romantic)

Appearance: she has short unevenly cut hair light grey with blue overtones that cover one of her eyes. Her eyes range from a deep magenta to sea green hue if you understand what im saying 😭. Shes about as tall as Kalim (168 cms). Isnt really thin or chubby. Also kinda flat-

Personality: she is a chill and cheery person who loves to pull sarcastic or harmless jokes on people as a way of showing affection since that shows she is comfortable with them. Tends to be mischievous but respectful. Is similar to cater with how open and extroverted he is but keeps his cards close to his chest. Rarely tends to be stern but does so when necessary. Has a knack for throwing people in loops by speaking in riddles. Extremely teasing and big on PDA (hugs and pats) once she gets super close to someone.

Origin: (happened when she was around 10) A prank gone wrong case basically. Some older kids thought its be fun to mess with the teacher while they were carrying lab equipment. Wrong place wrong time situation cuz the teacher tripped and one if the acids splashed on the right side of her face. Minimal went on her skin but unluckily a concerning amount reached her eye. With lack of medical equipment she was rushed to the hospital and her skin burns healed after treatment but her eye was permanently damages so she got it replaced with a prosthetic eye. Alot of kids began bullying her for this and she grew up insecure and cut her hair in way to cover her eye. It was messy but it worked. Slowly she fit back in but she doesnt let anyone see or know about her fake eye. Is disgusted by it when she looks at it. Extremely irritated if someone pushes on why she covers it up. Didnt help that her parents got divorced when she was 13 and her sister went to custody of her father (hates her dad). Then the NRC thing comes.

Prompts: 22, 29, 18

Personal Preferences:

Likes: anything spicy, chocolates, playing cards or chess, words of affiramtion and PDA

For Prompt 22 (PDA), id like to say how it needs to be in a quiet and closed off area since even though she puts on a confident shell, she is pretty insecure and doesn't like to be intimate with her partner in public.

For prompt 29: It can be regarding breaking or messing up in alchemy cuz she is pretty clumsy at time.

Cant say anything for 18, sorry 😔

Dislikes: Seafood, dull and/or dismissive responses, hypocrites and bullies.

Smth extra to help out: the prompts can include Riddle being aware about her eye.

Sorry if this came out too long :(

Rough apperence:

A/N: Tysm for giving me this idea, I was truly lost on what I was going to do so when I saw what you said I decided I might as well try something different.

Riddle Rosehearts x Emory(romantic)

Prompts: 22.PDA, 29."Pookie, Sweetie, Love of my life, angel of my eyes, the most amazing partner, air that I breathe, absolute geni-" "What did you do?", 18."Can you be mine forever?" "Who said I wasn't?"

It was a completely normal day for Riddle; he went off on some the heartsabyul students, went to his usual classes, reprimanded Ace & Deuce for the trouble the got up to for the day, and he is now doing homework in the comfort of his room. So what could possibly be bothering him t the point it felt difficult to focus on his homework, well that's simple his girlfriend, Emory. He hadn't seen his dear rose since the night before, I'm not saying he can't think if he hadn't seen her in a day, but he can't think if he hadn't seen her in a day. So as Riddle sat in his room on his desk he finally finished up his homework for the night, he wrote the last sentence then dropped his pen. He looked at the time on his phone to see that it was '4:45', he let out a sigh heavy enough to crush an elephant, he rubbed his forehead contemplating whether he should get up to see Emory or get a quick snack from the kitchen. His solution suddenly appeared in his doorway, he saw choppy light gray hair with vibrant blue overtones, multicolored eyes looked over into.

Riddle's face softens and a small smile grows onto his face, so did the girl, as that girl is his lovely girlfriend Emory. "Why hello dearest" he softly spoke to her, "Hi my love" her voice was more high pitched than usual, something's up, she continues to walk up to him while batting her eyelashes. Riddle doesn't show the confusion on his face, simply just keeps smiling as Emory takes a seat on his lap and her fingers link behind Riddle's neck. No matter how many times she does this even in private his face always turns into its signature red as he buries his blushing face into her neck. Emory let's out a few giggles, Riddle loves when his lover giggles it makes him feel butterflies in his stomach, the good kind. As Emory began to speak Riddle lifted his head slightly, locking his grayish-blue eyes into her magenta faded to sea green ones.

"Pookie, Sweetie, Love of my Life, Angel of my eye, the most amazing partner, air that I breathe, absolute geni-" "What did you do?"

Riddle knew the moment his girlfriend began spewing all these pet names that something was up. Emory didn't say anything for a while, as Riddle gave her a look of expectancy and disappointment. They stayed that way for 50 seconds straight until she had caved in and let it spill. "I may have, sort of, kinda done something to your strawberry tart waiting in the fridge that you may or may not be too pleased with" her tone was anxious & weary, as she kept her gaze from her partner's own. The red haired boy sat there in silence, clear disappointment on his face, he sighed.

Yet mid-way through his sigh, before he could begin saying that it was okay and that it was just a dessert(even if it made him a little sad) Emory began to giggle. Pure confusion was on his face not understanding why his girlfriend would be giggling in this matter. He knew Emory liked to play jokes but this is confusing, what did she actually do? "I might have made an extra, to celebrate you making it into the top 10 for the last exams" she giggled and looked into Riddle's eyes. There was a mix of excitement and relief when she looked into his eyes; at first Riddle's face only displayed unamusement, but as they say laughter is contagious. He slowly began to laugh with his girlfriend her smile never failed to get to him; "Dearest, I must say you did give me a bit of a jump" "I'm glad I did!!", Emory kissed his forehead.

[After eating the tart]

Once Emory and Riddle had full stomachs they went back into Riddle's dorm room. The two of them laid in his bed with your arms wrapped around each other and legs tangled. Riddle may think that people shouldn't lay in their bed until they're retiring for the night, but Emory always seemed to convince him otherwise.

The two of them laid together in silence just appreciating each other's company. Riddle was flat on his back, eyes on Emory admiring her beauty. His stands of red hair were spread on the pillow below his head; his hands were holding his beloved's softly, with his fingers rubbing little circles on the back of her palm. Emory's head rested on Riddle's chest her legs entangled with his, she could feel his left hand massaging her right. His right arm wrapped around her back as the silence was like soft music lulling the pair of lovers to be sleepy, only staying awake due to pure will power. The quiet was interrupted as Riddle spoke up, making Emory adjust her head to look up at him:

"Can you be mine forever?" and with a soft smile Emory quickly yet softly responded, "Who said I wasn't?"

And on that note Riddle softly kissed her forehead. Emory returned the favor by kissing him on the cheek. As always Riddle's cheeks dusted red and they resume their quiet evening in each's arms. And as Riddle fell into slumber, he heard one last thing;

"I love you Riddle Rosehearts."

If Riddle is ooc don't mind that, but I really hoped you enjoyed that even tho it took me forever to respond. I really apologize for that I was having a bit a writer's block then I kinda just took a break which went way longer than I anticipated but I hope this makes up for it!!

Rose Anniversary

Fandom: Twisted Wonderland Rating: Gen Warnings: N/A A/N: Request fic for @everheartz on discord. No specific prompt, just her OC Alicia with Riddle.

“Happy anniversary, Riddle,” Trey congratulated his former Housewarden, treating the young man with a slice of strawberry tart he had chilling in the fridge. Although not much has changed since their last meeting, one thing is for certain, the smile on the redhead’s face was more relaxed.

“Thank you, Trey,” Riddle nodded, taking the plate from Trey before setting it down on the table, his fork already on hand. The first thing that Riddle took was the large piece of strawberry sitting atop the tart, eating the whole piece in one bite. “Sweet as always.”

“You say that as if it’s a bad thing,” Trey couldn’t help but chuckle, more so when Riddle points at the empty table towards him. Of course, Riddle being Riddle, he wouldn’t let him skirt off the rules so easily. “A queen is not one to have tea parties without guests.”

“You’re certainly rusty on your rules,” Riddle pointed out but the hard edge in his voice when breaking the Red Queen’s rules have softened over the years, but discussing about the rules wasn’t in Riddle’s agenda for today.

His eyes scanned the bakery, on the lookout for the other three to show up in the establishment. Cater had already left Shaftlands a couple of days ago and said he was staying in a nearby hotel. Meanwhile, the other two had a history of arriving fashionably late, Ace in particular.

Speaking of Ace...

“Shouldn’t Ace be here first?” Riddle frowned, “His apartment is the closest here out of all of us.”

Riddle shouldn’t be surprised that his former underclassman was late as per the norm, but as someone who has graduated and is working, shouldn’t he have practiced a little bit of punctuality by now?

“S-sorry, I’m late-!!” Someone suddenly barges in, a young man whose uniform is a mess and so is his hair. Deuce, in a rush to get to the meeting place, disregarded the creases and folds he’ll need to iron out of his uniform but it was an important date today, and he knows how his former Housewarden is about important dates.

“H-Housewarden Riddle-”

“Former Housewarden,” Riddle interrupted, taking a bite out of his strawberry tart.

“O-of course,” Deuce struggles to cough up a reply, catching his breath as he takes a seat beside Trey. He puts down his hat and took in deep, steadying breaths before finally slumping back on the chair. “Man, that was one hell of a workout...”

Riddle was about to scold him for his tardiness until another one walked into the scene, with phone in hand and the familiar sound of the camera clicking was heard. “Cater,” Riddle called, his voice even and unnaturally calm. “Do you have any idea what time it is?”

“Sorry about that Riddle,” Cater assured, taking his seat between him and Trey, smile still wide on his face. “My phone totally messed up and the alarm went off an hour late.”

“... you were up last night talking to Melissa again, weren’t you?”

Cater didn’t have the heart nor the will to deny Riddle, especially when it is a known fact, all he could do was try to laugh it off, fail and admit to the truth with a sigh. “Yeah... we kind of lost track of time...”

“I thought so.”

Now there were four of them on the table, with one seat vacant for their last member to appear. As if by clockwork, “Hey guys, Housewarden Riddle~” Ace makes his daring entrance, casually walking towards the group with a wide grin on his face, ignoring the annoyed face Riddle pointed at him.

“Nice~ the whole gang’s back together,” Cater happily pulls out his camera again, angling it at just the right position before taking a selfie. “Mini reunion with our favorite Housewarden.”

“It’s a bit embarrassing to admit this but I’m happy to see you guys again,” Deuce admitted to the whole group, his cheeks turning a slight shade of red. Even though it had only been a couple of years since they’ve last saw each other, it felt like it had been forever ago since they last had a get together like this.

“Really? Because I sure hadn’t had enough time away from you guys,” Ace was quick to make his comment, with the same snide smirk on his face.

Deuce narrowed his gaze at him, “Very funny, Ace.”

“Awww, don’t be so mean, Acey~,” Cater piped up, standing up from his seat just to wrap an arm around Ace’s shoulder, dragging him down to his seat between him and a slowly annoyed Riddle, making him break into a sweat. “I’m sure that deep down inside that small heart of yours, you missed us very much, yeah?”

“I’m sure that’s what he meant,” Riddle said, eyes narrowed to the point they were almost closed, arms crossed as his pointer finger tapped on his forearm. The more Riddle’s face remained that way the more Ace started to get nervous. His earlier cheerful mood immediately was replaced by his usual demeanor during NRC, strict and by the book, no tolerance for delinquency.

Trey, as he watched the group do their usual business as if not much time had passed, let out another chuckle, shaking his head. “Geez, you guys are still the same as ever.” He couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia earlier, watching the group bantering, taking jabs at each other as if they were still students.

“I know, right?” Cater had a large smile on his face, “It feels like yesterday when Ace got an earful from Riddle.”

“O-oi! That was like...,” Ace had to pause for a moment, trying to recall the last time Riddle had ever scolded him. “... Two? Maybe three years ago? Cut me some slack, I’ve been doing better since Riddle graduated, alright??”

Of course, Ace did mildly better since Riddle had graduated. His grades had improved and he’s finally able to avoid trouble as much as possible. Everything was going swimmingly for him, minus the tardiness, the delayed submission of homework, his barely researched research, and the myriad of other things that could’ve gotten Ace in deep academic waters.

“Yes, and I’m proud that you graduated as a proud member of Heartslabyul,” Riddle’s earlier annoyed frown immediately turned into a cheerful smile, as if his earlier annoyance had been nothing but a scare tactic at Ace. Call it a small revenge on the part of Riddle but he enjoyed seeing Ace rethink of his choice to ever be late in his presence again.

With all that out of the way, “Now, shall we discuss about why we’re all here?”

The group quieted down until only silence remained, as if the action was second nature to them. As former dorm members of Heartslabyul, following the rules of the Red Queen is a must. Riddle gave himself a moment, giving each one a precursory glance before speaking, “As you all know, today is Alicia and I’s 5th anniversary together.”

“Woah~ it’s already that time of year? Congrats, Riddle~” Cater greeted with a wide grin on his face, giving Riddle’s shoulders a good pat. “Tell Alicia-chan that her big bro Cater gives his warmest regards.”

“Thank you Cater, but that’s not all that I have to say.”

Deuce gave Riddle a quizzical look, his hand on his chin. “Oh, is there anything else you have in mind, House- I mean... Riddle-senpai?”

Riddle nods, a wide grin brimming with pride appeared on his face. “Indeed, and this is where my card soldiers come in.”

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ———

“Thank you for your time, Miss Bellford!” the older woman before her said, cuddling the large brown rabbit in her arms, giving them several kisses on the head. “I was worried that my baby might’ve gotten a disease.”

Alicia Bellford, well known Veterinarian in Queendom of Roses, smiled at the other before her, reaching her hand over the top of the rabbit’s head and petting them. “It’s not a problem, ma’am, your rabbit is as healthy as they can be~”

The older woman nodded and thanked her a couple more times, gushing about her sweet darling Lala before finally leaving the clinic, Alicia letting out a relieved sigh before sitting down on a nearby chair. “What a day...”

With the last of her patient satisfied, the clinic was once again calm, the silence welcoming after all the meowing, the barking, the squawking, and all other animal noises mixed together in a symphony that only the animals could hear. Or maybe they were having a conversation with each other. Who knows? Certainly not Alicia.

She was grateful at the very least, that despite the chaos that ensued since morning, her afternoon slowed until everything stilled.

Peaceful.

Serene.

Her phone’s muffled ringing reaching her ears.

... wait-

“My phone-!” Hopping off the chair, Alicia went behind the reception desk, grabbing her phone in one of the drawers before answering. “Hello?”

“Hello, Strawberry, how’s work?” Riddle’s voice comes through, making Alicia’s cheeks turn into a bright pink.

“R-Riddle-!!” She squeaks out a response, happiness in hearing Riddle’s voice through the phone overwhelming.

“Haha, yes it’s me. May I ask you something?”

There were other voices speaking through the other line, voices that she’s all too familiar with, making the happiness in her chest to grow bigger. She could definitely hear Ace teasing while Deuce tries to shush him, Cater cheering in the background as quietly as possible, and Trey making an attempt to calm them down. These boys were up to something but if Riddle was in on this, then it must be something important.

“Alicia?” Riddle called out, the worry in his voice clear through the phone. “Are you still there?”

“Huh? Oh, yes! I’m still here!” Her cheeks went even redder, spreading to the tips of her ears. Her fingers fiddled with the sides of her phone, hoping that Riddle hadn’t caught on of her trying to listen to what’s behind him. “W-what is it?”

Luckily for her, Riddle didn’t had a clue of her small eavesdropping and continued on with his question, “Could you come over to my house? I have a special tea party setup just for the two of us.” Despite the calm in Riddle’s voice, there was a hint of excitement to it, like a child about to show his most favorite toy to the others.

It also got Alicia beaming with excitement, the smile on her lips growing wider at the thought of that special tea party for them alone. Of course, she didn’t had to ask any further, “I’ll be there in a bit! Oh, if that’s okay...”

“Sounds perfect! I’ll see you in a bit, then.”

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ———

By the time Alicia had arrived at Riddle’s place, the sun had started to set, the morning blue sky shifting its hues to its bright afternoon colors, the same colors as the autumn leaves surrounding Rosehearts Manor. The gate was already open for Alicia to enter through, the garden table set with a spread of various different desserts, from tarts to shortcakes, even the jams were plentiful. It was dessert heaven.

“Wooooooow~ that’s so many!” Alicia couldn’t help but stare in awe, giving the table a thorough look through as she eyes the slices of mango pie on the table.

Distracted by the food displayed on the table, Riddle silently walks up behind her. Seeing his shadow appearing from behind, she quickly turns around to meet his smiling face, a bouquet of red roses in hand. “Welcome home, Alicia. You didn’t start eating without me, right?”

A smile spreads across Alicia’s face as well, arms wide open as she jumps at him, pulling him into a tight embrace. “Nope~! I missed you, Riddle.”

“I missed you too, Alicia.” Riddle wraps an arm around her waist, leaning his head on her shoulder. He basked in the warmth of the afternoon sun, the warmth that radiated from Alicia in their embrace.

His heart soared, the feeling of peace washing over him. It was these times where he’s assured of his feelings for Alicia, assured that she is the one for him.

Alicia pulls away, Riddle’s arm hesitating to let go of her but does so. He hands her the bouquet, an arrangement of red roses broken up by some baby’s breath and yellow daisies. Adoration shone behind his eyes as he watched Alicia buried her nose in the bouquet, taking in the flowery scent. “I love these...”

“I’m glad you do...” He said softly, leaning in to give Alicia a peck on the cheek, his heart soaring even further the moment he heard Alicia’s giggling, his own quiet laughter mingling with hers. “Come on, let’s take our seats.”

Alicia nodded, taking her seat across Riddle, bouquet still in her embrace. Riddle couldn’t help but laugh a little louder at the sight. “How are you going to eat while holding onto the bouquet?”

She gave it some thought before responding, “It’s fine, I didn’t want to let go of the gift you gave to me.” It was a simple response, something that Riddle would’ve found unimportant if he were who he was those five years ago. Now, he found it heartwarming, letting Alicia continue to hug the bouquet close to her.

“Then please, never let it go for as long as you’d like. Just know that it makes me happy you think of my gift as something precious.”

Alicia giggles, giving the flowers another good embrace for good luck. “It’s your gift, my tomato~” She teased him slightly, to which he found it quite endearing. “I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to your gift.”

“Then...”

Silence fills the air as Riddle takes a moment to close his eyes, a few short seconds to recompose himself. If an opportunity presents itself, it’s best to take action before it goes away, that’s what he’s always done. Riddle Rosehearts does not let anything slip past his hold and yet--

He shakes his head, taking in a deep breath. Riddle Rosehearts does not let anything slip past him.

Once he opened his eyes, the first thing he catches was Alicia sitting before him. There was worry in her eyes, an all too familiar gaze he’s seen so many times before. Now, he wants to change that.

“Alicia,” He stood from his seat, hand proudly placed on his chest, his face hardened with determination. “When we first met at Night Raven College, the moment we began to speak with one another, I was too ignorant, too hellbent on achieving everything that my mother has always wanted me to achieve.”

Riddle took Alicia’s hand in his.

His eyes never leaving hers.

“Because of that, I wasn’t able to see the admiration you held towards me, the love that eventually grew behind those beautiful eyes of yours.”

He kneels down before her, a small gasp escaping her lips.

“It took me time, too much time to realize how you felt towards me. I’m sorry that you ended up loving a fool like me. But right now, in this very moment, I would like to change that.”

Slowly, from inside his coat pocket, he brings out a small red velvet box. He let’s go of the hand he held, for him to open the small box, revealing a silver ring with a ruby in the shape of a rose stuck to the middle.

Another gasp, “Ri... Riddle...”

“Alicia Bellford, in spite of the many faults I have made,” He takes the ring in one hand, and took her hand with the other, slowly putting on the ring on her ring finger. “Would you take my hand in marriage?”

Speechless beyond words, Alicia couldn’t help but let the tears flow down her cheeks, holding onto Riddle’s hand tightly. A second later, she was kneeling down with him too, crying and laughing at the same time, too overjoyed to even say a simple yes. To Riddle, it was enough confirmation, wiping away the tears with his thumb.

Suddenly, the sound of party poppers was heard, streamers and confetti raining down on the two as the rest of the Heartslabyul boys had been standing by in a room just above where the couple were.

“Wooohhh! Congratulations to the newly engaged!” Cater shouted, snapping several photos of the two below them.

“Congratulations, Riddle-sama! Alicia-sama!” Deuce clapped for the both of them, popping another party popper down their way.

“Hey, since we helped, you owe us free lunch at your bachelor’s party, yeah?” Ace wasted no time with his comment, causing Riddle to roll his eyes despite the smile still evident on his face.

“If you two need a wedding cake, you know who to contact,” Trey as well wasted no time to make his offer, happy to see them finally reach this point.

It was five years of their time spent together as a couple, five whole years of happiness and turmoil. Now, they have the rest of their lives ahead of them, as husband and wife.

“I love you, Mrs. Rosehearts.”

“I love you too... Mr. Rosehearts.”
