Keepsakes (First Years and Reader)

Relationship: Platonic

Characters featured: GN! Reader, Grim, Ace Trappola, Deuce Spade, Jack Howl, Epel Felmier, and Sebek Zigvolt.

Warning(s): Reader is good at making jewelery.

"Sup dudes." You call casually to the first years, who were hanging out on the track field, talking. "Got something for ya."

"Ooh, perfect~ I know you love us, but you don't have to go so far- nah, I'm just kidding, you definitely do." Ace teases, throwing an arm over your shoulder. "Whatcha got?"

"Well, it's not gonna be fun if you just see it, you know. Close your eyes?" You ask them. Sebek and Epel give you a reluctant stare. "It's not a prank... I'm not Ace, you know."

"What's that supposed to mean?" You tousle the redhead's hair, shrugging.

"I don't know... maybe it's because of the pranks you pull of to Riddle? And how he constantly needs consolation from Trey?" You question, frowning like your serious.

"Or it's us getting our heads offed all the time..." Deuce continues, a silly smirk on his face.

"We're getting distracted," Jack mentions, eyes already closed. "Come on."

"Fggna, I bet ya got me the BEST present ever~" Grim cooed, pressing its paws against its face- that's adorable.

"Alright fine, whatever." Ace grouses, shutting his eyes. "There, I'm doing it."

The other 3 soon follow, Sebek still staring at you as he closes them shut.

Smiling, you approach the half-fae first. In your hand is a collection of hand-made jewelry you painstakingly created for your friends, each tailored to their specific characteristics. Since Sebek works out and trains often, you opt for a simple black choker with a crocodile token in the middle that won't irritate his skin or his workouts.

Slowly, so as not to disturb him, you lace the choker around his neck and clip it silently on the back. You can feel him freeze up when the cool metal of the crocodile touches his skin. "Human, what did you put on me?" He hisses, quickly opening his eyes, but you press your hand against his eyes, preventing him from seeing it.

"The surprise. Can't open 'em up yet, Sebek. Trust me a bit, 'kay?" You mutter back, and once the half-fae agrees, you let go of your hand, relieved that his eyes are already shut.

Now to the wolf. It's a good thing you're not giving him something high up, or you'd ruin the surprise! Similar to Sebek's reasoning, you got him a simple metal ring that's sure to fit snugly on his finger. Its color is gray, looking pretty dainty against his sturdy nature. No, you didn't measure his fingers, and is almost caught by Vil, of course not.

You take the wolf's calloused hands and as expected, slip the ring easily over his middle finger, where it fits snugly at its base. Perfect.

"...It's a ring?"

"Shhh!" You grumble, lightly swatting the wolf.

Next is Epel. Now, you know he isn't exactly fond of dainty things like this, so you opt for some cool rapper-esc chains- it's a good thing Crewel taught you how to make metal and shape them, or it'll be far too difficult for you to make this.

It dangles right to his chest as you place it over his head, adjusting it a little. Epel's hands quickly delve onto the piece, running over the jewelry.

"What kind of necklace is this?"

"You'll see." You reply, humming.

Next is Deuce, who is closing his eyes so hard that you see wrinkles. "You can relax, Deuce. Don't hurt your eyes." You smile, shaking your head. When the 6 of you study, you can't help but notice how his hair always gets in the way. There's no way for you to get him a haircut in secret, so you do the next best thing: A hairpin! It looks similar to a bobby pin, but it has a spade on its end.

Gently, you rake his hair and insert the clip, feeling the boy freeze under you. Before he can comment, you place your other hand on his lips, telling him to keep quiet.

After that is his rival, Ace. The cheeky boy oh so loves bracelets, as he'd often show them to you and go to Jamil to ask for one (the senior is then found normally annoyed by his antics- sometimes, you pity Jamil for what he has to deal with). So, to grant him that wish, you made him a chunky bracelet out of beads and plastic, dyed in red.

You quickly slip it past the boy's wrist, glad that it isn't stuck on his hand; that would be a disaster.

"Oh, perfect... I think I know what it is!"

"You'll find out for sure in a bit, Ace." You chuckle, kneeling down to your partner.

It already wears some sort of jewelry, the magic stone that dangles around its neck. While you can't replace the magical stone, you can certainly replace the ribbon.

You gift it a diagonal-striped black and white version of its normal ribbon, just to change things up a bit. You quickly take the ribbon off its neck, Grim complaining as you do. "Oi, whatcha doin' with my ribbon?! Give it back!"

"I am, I am." You reply smoothly, fastening the gem in the middle of your new ribbon and tying it back onto the cat. "See, there."

Finally, all the gifts are given out. With a smile, you tell them to open their eyes. You hope they like it as much as you do while creating the pieces.

Surprised awws and gasps come from your group, and you couldn't be more relieved. They like it, thank goodness!

"It's uh..." You cough, hating the words that are about to tumble out of your mouth. "It keepsakes. Uh, if I do go back to my own world, maybe it'll make it easier for you guys to remember me. I don't know, uh-" Hesitance begins to creep onto you. "If you don't like it then it's okay you don't have to use it-"

They quickly reassure you that they like your gift, and your smile in relief once more.

"Perfect, where's your keepsake?" Epel asks you worriedly. "You'd want to remember us too, right?"

You nod and proudly lift up your arm. "Of course." On it is a rope charm bracelet, symbolizing each of them. A heart for Ace, a spade for Deuce, a cactus for Jack, an apple for Epel, a lightning bolt for Sebek, and a can of tuna for Grim. You're quite proud of it, the dents that you created on those tiny pieces of metal. Quite the challenge, honestly.

"All of you! Get to work!" You hear Vargas shout, ruining the moment between you all. With a collective sigh, you begin walking to the teacher, not very eager to hear what he has to say.

= Many, many months later =

You gaze at the charm bracelet you made months ago, staring at the charms. How have they been doing? Is school difficult? Have they grown? What do they look like now?

Sighing, you let a tear slip. You miss them, you truly do. They were a unique group of friends that's rare to come by, a combination of young men who gathered and created a friendship with each other and you were with them. Through the highs and lows of the first year, you got each other's back, and they got yours.

You breathe out another sigh, shaking your head. What a silly thought. It won't come true, would it-

"Perfect!"

No.

It couldn't be.

5, no, 6 figures stand in the distant horizon, silhouettes too familiar to brush off as coincidence.

"Aren't 'ya gonna say hi?"

"It's been a while, you know."

"We aren't waiting around forever."

"Come on, perfect. Greet us!"

"Human, come!"

"Fggna, henchman hasn't forgotten about us, right~?!"

Wishes.

They encompass our desires, our hopes, our dreams. Some are silly, some are not. Some come true, some don't. And in your case...

It's a dream come true.
