Years after y/n had returned to their home world, the freshman that they had gotten so attached to were about to graduate nightraven. They were all almost better from saying goodbye to their beloved prefect of ramshackle. But grim, deuce, and ace, were still struggling to get over their best friend. It was the morning before the graduation, and everyone was bustling around, any remaining pain forgotten for the time being, getting ready to go in the stage. Well, almost everyone.
Grimm had quickly scurried from ramshackle to heartslabyul dormitory, busting in, the new house warden shouted after him, but he didnt pay attention as he bounded to ace and deuces room, pounding on the door. Deuce flung open the door.
“Grim, what are you doing here? Did you need help getting ready?” the monster shook his head, panting slightly before looking up at the two, ace having moved to stand behind deuce.
“Well then spit it out” ace sniped slightly, before his usually snarky expression softening, looking at the look in the monsters eyes.
“Their back. I-i saw them last night, but they wouldnt talk to me, and it looked like they had a black eye” the monsters voice was unusually soft and whiny, deuce looked at grim incredulusly.
“Who? The prefect?” aces eyes widened.
“y/ns back?” the fluffy cat nodded.
“I dont know where they went though, it looked as if they went to the forest behind the botanical garden” the two boys looked at each other.
“Ill stay with grim.” deuce said, nodding at the expression the usually snarky and playful boy had on his face at the news, as grim acted more like a house cat at their feet, shocked and actually hurt that the prefect didnt respond to him the night before. Ace nodded and quickly swept out of the dormitory, once out of the dorm, breaking into a sprint to the forest, starting inside, calling their name.
“y/n? y/n? I know your here!” his voice broke silence in the forest, a slight crack to it. He had been the second worse off when you had said goodbye, grim being the first, for obvious reasons. He heard a twig snap somewhere to his left, and quickly followed the sound, and he heard their voice quietly call out his name.
“Ace?” the voice was more horse then he had remembered, but he didnt pay attention to that, as he saw their figure,moving quickly and embracing them, tears flowing from both of their eyes.
“y/n. What are you doing back?” he asked softly, pulling away from them, to look at their face, which as grim had said, had a black eye.
“I-i came back, for you guys” they said, a smile gracing their features, but a sad one at that, tears still running down their face. “Youve grown so much”
“What happened to your eye?” he asked softly, running his thumb over the bruise that was lower on their cheek, softly as to not hurt them.
“O-oh, family issues” they said softly, smiling through any pain, leaning against aces hand, “this is old. I left weeks ago, trying to get back here”
Ace didnt say anything, nodding, just letting y/n tell their story. “It was when i got back, i would often day dream of memories from here, and any grades i had fell, and i couldnt hold a job, my mood eventually got worse, and they couldnt handle it. My mom started doing things like this. A few weeks ago this was the last straw.”
y/ns voice was starting to break up, and their knees buckled, ace quickly caught them, moving to get them into a sitting position, both on the forest fall, him pulling their head to rest against his shoulder, comforting them.
“I left, and started searching for a way back here. The other day, i was wondering in the forest, hoping to find a rabbit hole, or something, when i met a old man there. He had an oak staff, and such a gentle smile. He invited me to sit for a while and talk, so i did. He could tell by the bruises and the look in my eyes, i need to get out of the world. So he gave me a bottle of pills. Told me to take up to three, to ease the pain. But then they stoped working so quick..” they trailed off, before closing their eyes tighter. “So i took 5 once, and, and,” they couldnt choke out the rest for a minute, ace hummed softly to try and calm them, rubbing circles on their back,
“I no longer live on that planet” was the easiest way to choke it out, before burying their face into ace, who hugged them tight.
“Its ok, prefect, your alive here, thats all that matters” he said softly, comforting them to the best of his abilities. It took awhile of comfort, but y/n did calm down, looking up at ace, who looked down at the prefect softly.
“Im sorry that all happened to you prefect”
“Its not your fault.” the prefect said softly, ace started to say something, before they heard two familiar voices, as deuce and grim found the two in the forest.
“Prefect!” deuce panted, stumbling behind grims pace, panting. Grim seeing you two at his level, jumping onto their lap, essentially, hugging them in his own way. y/n giggled softly, using a free hand to pet grim.
“Hey buddy.” they said softly, running their hands through his fur, looking at deuce softly. “Hey their mr. honor student” deuce managed a smile, falling to his knees near the three
“Welcome back prefect.” he smiled at the three. “What happened?” ace shook his head in response for y/n.
“Well explain later, lets get back, so we can get y/n food and cleaned up” he said. Deuce nodding and picking grim off the two, as ace stood up and got y/n into his arms, who looked at him tiredly.
“Thank you you three” y/n smiled softly. The redhead nodded.
“Anything for you, prefect”
Lets just say graduation was postponed, seeing as the whole of the old freshmen class was too distracted with the prefects return, but ace most of all.
