When the little brother gets intimidated or hurt: Riddle, Leona, and Azul edition. Short stories(?)
@asillylitteseabunnyay had another wonderful idea and I got permission to write it!! I hope once again that I can do this justice. I tried to make all of the part equal but Azul's fell a tad short. Apologies. Also sorry for taking so long for not posting. I'm just trying to make sure that my writing is the highest quality it can be for people to read.
Warning: Yandere, death (Minor characters), injuries, infantilization (Maybe? Ashengrotto does get spanked), other things that I don't know how to tag.
Riddle Rosehearts
I felt a shiver crawl up my spine. That same Savanaclaw student is staring at me again. He always stares at me ever since I started attending class with Riddle. It was only the second day of my punishment for exploring the forest.
He wants something from me but he hasn't said a word. It's honestly quite unnerving. I felt myself shake slightly. Riddle was too absorbed with the lesson to notice my discomfort. Not surprising because normally stuff like that doesn't get under my skin.
I slightly turned my head to look the Savanaclaw student in the eye. His eyes were just blank. Somehow that's worse to me than a glare full of emotions.
The bell rang which signaled that class was over. I started to help Riddle with his belongings and we quickly left the room to head back to the dorm.
"Come along, (Y/N). We have to start making preparations for the next unbirthday party."
"Yes, my Queen."
Next thing that I knew, someone stuck out their leg and tripped me. The books that I was holding went flying across the hallway. Thankfully, my reflex training kicked in and I caught myself before I completely fell onto the floor.
"(Y/N)!"
I turned my head to see who tripped me. It was the same Savanaclaw student from earlier. His eyes were still as dull as they were in class.
"Heh, so the rumors are true. A dumb little boy with strength. You'll be a perfect punching bag."
I turned my head towards Riddle to see him frozen with shock. It seems that this guy's words shocked Riddle to his core. The next thing that I knew was that my neck was grabbed and lifted far above the ground. My windpipe was being slightly crushed by his hand.
"Since your body is stronger, that means you can take more punches."
I started flailing my legs around, hoping for one of three things to happen. Either my leg would hit him and get him to release my throat, or I would stall long enough for either Riddle or a faculty to get this man to stop. Sadly, none of my preferred situations came true.
The guy punched me right in the middle of my chest, knocking the air out of my lungs and I think that I even heard one of my ribs crack a tiny bit. I opened my mouth to let out a scream but because of how tight his hand was around my throat, it couldn't escape.
"OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!"
Thank you, Riddle!
I started trying to regain air in my lungs with the fact that my windpipe has been allowed to reopen. I lifted my head to watch what was happening. With the Savanaclaw student now dazed, Riddle was just launching spell after spell at him. It was getting really messy. Riddle was only stopped after other Heartslabyul students restrained him.
I let out an audible gasp. I was finally able to regain the air in my lungs. I stood up and went over to Riddle and just gave him a hug. This was one of the few things that I knew that I could do to calm him down.
"Calm down, Riddle! I'm not too harmed!"
Riddle calmed down but I could tell that he was still glaring at the guy who punched me.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?!"
Professor Crewel came stomping down the hallway towards the injured student and both of us. He didn't seem very pleased with us.
"I mildly expected this type of behavior from Savanaclaw students but from you, Mr. Rosehearts? Not even in my worst nightmares."
"My deepest apologies, Professor Crewel. But you know that I wouldn't act out in such a way unless a rule was broken."
"And which rule was broken?"
"NRC has a rule that says that there will be no fights on campus. That student attacked my brother unprovoked and broke one of his ribs. The only way that I knew to dissuade him from causing more harm to my brother was to make him unable to."
"Hmmmm. I can understand the reasoning. Although I will still be having a talk with you later, Mr. Rosehearts. For now, take your brother to the infirmary to get him checked up on. I'll handle this trouble maker for now."
"Thank you, Professor Crewel. Come along, (Y/N)."
"Yes, my Queen."
I wrapped my hand around my broken rib and started walking with Riddle towards the nurse's office. I felt the anger flowing off of Riddle. I don't think that that Savanaclaw student is free from Riddle's rage just yet.
"Hey, Riddle?"
"Hmm?"
"You don't need to be angry anymore. You did quite the number on him and I'm pretty certain that Professor Crewel isn't going to let him off of the hook that easily."
"..."
Silence was not what I was hoping to hear. Silence meant that Riddle was thinking deeply and with what just happened, I really didn't want him thinking that deep.
We eventually made it to the nurse's office and I got an ice pack and was told to stay on the bed for a while. I looked over at Riddle.
"(Y/N). Your punishment is over. Now, since you're injured, you are relieved of your usual duties."
I opened my mouth to get Riddle to stay but he walked out in a rush before I could say anything. A bad feeling sunk into my stomach. The events of today caught up to my body and I fell asleep.
I don't know how long I was out for but when I reopened my eyes, I saw Deuce asleep with his head on the side of my bed.
"Deuce? What are you doing here?"
My voice sounded so rough for the fact that I had just woken up from what seemed to be about a six hour nap.
"Huh?! Oh! (Y/N)! You're up! I was tasked by Dorm Leader Riddle to keep watch over you while you slept. He also told me to bring you back to Heartslabyul when you woke up."
"Hmmmmmm. Did he tell you why he couldn't be here himself?"
Deuce stayed silent for a minute, looking up at the ceiling. It seemed that he was trying to remember if Riddle gave him a reason or if he was just happy to be able to watch over me.
"I'm not certain anymore. I sort of walked as fast as I could away from Riddle after he gave me my task."
Deuce then gave me a sheepish smile. I return a knowing smile. I don't make fun of Deuce for trying to be an honor student which gets me brownie points with him.
"Oh! We need to be on our way! I nearly forgot to take you back to Heartslabyul."
"Right. Let's see if my body is willing to let me move."
I swung my legs to the side of the bed and stood up. I felt a sharp pain in the left rib cage area but after the initial movement, I could move easier. I still had Deuce assist me with walking in case the pain decided to spike up once again.
A lovely conversation broke out between the two of us. Hearing the antics of Yuu, Deuce, Ace and Grim plus others is always enjoyable to hear. Sometimes I wish that I would be able to join them on one of their crazy events but Riddle would never allow me to.
We made it back to Heartslabyul where there seemed to be mild chaos stirring about. I don't think that I've ever seen Heartslabyul so disorganized before other than Riddle's overblot incident.
"Excuse us but what's happening?"
"Riddle and Leona are having a fight in the Rose Maze!"
"WHAT?!"
Deuce and I picked up the pace to the middle of the Rose Maze to see Riddle basically pick Leona up with his magic and send him flying into a thorny rose bush. The thorns were clearly sharper than the normal ones for the fact that he was bleeding quite a bit.
"GRRRR! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!"
"Are you going to discipline your dorm members finally?"
"NO!"
"Then we're not done yet."
Despite Leona already being badly injured and with thorns now stuck in his body, Riddle showed no mercy and shot multiple spells at him. He even got Cater to use Split Card to send more spells Leona's way. They're going to kill him!
"Leona-Senpai!"
Deuce was obviously freaked out as well. It's not everyday that you see people nearly destroy someone for no reason. Whipping out my own magical pen, I quickly casted a spell around Leona's foot to swing him out of the way. Of course, it worked but I didn't really think about where I was swinging him. Leona was launched straight into Deuce and myself, creating a sort of dog pile.
"AHH!"
"UGH!"
"OOF!"
I need to start thinking past stage one of my plans. Leona put a lot of pressure on my recently broken rib which got me crying out in pain.
"Well, maybe if you weren't trying to play hero, you wouldn't be in more pain now."
"Oh please, if (Y/N) didn't just launch you halfway across the world, Riddle and Cater's spells would completely fried you alive."
"(Y/N)!"
Riddle's voice broke us out of our fantasy world and triggered what seemed to be a flight response in Leona. He booked it out of there before any more spells got fired. Riddle rushed over to where Deuce and I were laying on the ground and let out a huff in anger.
"Great, he got away. He needs to be more firm with his dorm members or else, we get stuck with more scenarios like today."
"It's not Leona's fault that one of his dorm members punched me and broke my rib."
"It wouldn't have happened if Leona just actually stepped up as a dorm leader and had his members under control."
Riddle's tone was icy cold. I could tell that changing his mind once again.
"How about we forget Leona for now and help me inside? I think that the Leona impact accidently reversed all of the healing that my rib got."
Riddle looked down at me and his eyes softened a bit. He kneeled down and helped me to my feet. He steadied me and we trekked back to our shared room.
I laid down on the bed to get ready to go to bed. I was expecting Riddle to join me but instead, he went to the door before telling me that he'll be back in a short while. I nodded my head. I was originally planning to stay up until Riddle came back but my body decided that it had taken enough abuse and that it wanted to sleep the pain off.
*Riddle's POV*
As much as I wanted to join my brother in sleep, I still had a job to finish. Since Leona won't take it upon himself to discipline his dorm members, I'll do it myself.
"Cater."
"Huh? Oh, hey Riddle."
Cater seemed nervous when talking with me. Might be because of what I made him do earlier. Well, I need a similar favor now.
"You're more connected with other dorm students. What can you tell me about..."
Cater and I had a long, extensive talk about this Savanaclaw student. Cater was able to find him on the internet and get even deeper with some older accounts that he had. I was grateful for the new information on this guy. Makes what I'm about to do more justified.
"Thank you, Cater. You've been of great help to me."
"Not a problem, Dorm Leader Riddle! Umm, just to make sure, you're not going to do anything brash, right?"
Cater let out a small nervous laugh and I only turned my head to look at him from the corner of my eye. He stopped quietly laughing when he saw the look in my eye. That man hurt my younger brother, tomorrow, there will be a price to pay for what he has done.
I quickly made it back to my room and fell asleep next to (Y/N). I'm glad that he was able to sleep with his injury. I'll make sure that the members from the other dorm will treat him with the respect that he deserves.
*(Y/N)'s POV*
Today is so much worse. So, so much worse. Riddle somehow got the Malleus Draconia to attack the Savanaclaw student that hurt me yesterday. My brain is still trying to make sense of the fact that Malleus came and turned the student into stone.
"Thank you, Malleus. I appreciate the fact that you were willing to help me. I will see to it myself that you get an invitation to the next unbirthday party."
"Not a problem, Riddle. When Silver told me that you requested my help with something, I wasn't expecting this. But it would be my greatest pleasure to be invited to an unbirthday party at Heartslabyul."
Malleus then left the two of us alone with the student turned stone. My brain feels more and more fried. Riddle then came over to me and put a hand on my shoulder, snapping me back to reality.
"Riddle. Why would you do something like this?"
"Because. You're my little brother. Since you're my protector, I'll be yours as well."
Leona Kingscholar
Brother A:
"Holy crap, hurry up, Epel!"
"Sorry, (Y/N)! Ah should hav warned yawl thet yawl wuz walkin' straight into Rook's shootin' range."
Epel was trying to wrap the bandages tight enough to create a blood clot. Stupid Rook and his stupid shooting. I got an arrow straight in the leg because of him! I was this close to ripping off the Hunter's head! Thankfully, Epel calmed me down and is now healing my injuries.
"Is yawl okay, (Y/N)? Chur breathin' gist got heavier."
"Yeah, I'm just... trying to figure out what to tell Leona. He banned me from A: going to other dorms and B: Seeing you guys. He can be such a stick in the mud sometimes."
"Naw way! Leona don't hav thet type uh control ovur yawl! Yore not actually gunna gist leave us behind, raht?"
"Of course not! Leona may be my older brother but that doesn't mean that I'm going to listen to him. He doesn't listen to rules anyway. Why should I listen to his?"
"Thet's uh relief. Thayure yawl go! All patched up!"
"Perfect! Now, is it okay if I hung out in Pomefiore for today? Just to lay low. Leona won't step in here willingly and I was lucky enough to have lost Ruggie on my way here."
"Uh course, yawl can stay hare! Way gist hav tuh make shore thet Vil don't say yawl. Plus Ah can finally teach yawl how tuh apple carve!"
"Lead the way, my southern friend!"
I followed Epel to a T just to avoid Vil's line of sight. I don't want to know what will happen if Vil sees me. Sadly, it did seem that my luck wasn't running high today.
"EPEL!"
"Gosh darn it."
"What exactly is (Y/N) doing here? And more importantly looking like that?!"
My clothes are not the problem here! They be comfy and I wear them anyway!
"Well, I thought that..."
"You thought what? Speak up, Epel! How many times have I told you to not mutter!"
"I just thought that it would be okay if (Y/N) stayed here for a short while!"
Epel and Vil appeared to be in a stare off. Neither really willing to let this slide from the other. Amazingly, the saving grace here was Rook.
"Roi du Poison! Please forgive my interruption but Monsieur Brute's stay is partly my own fault! One of my arrows accidently found its mark in his leg, injuring him and ruining his beauty! Please allow him to stay here until his beauty returns back to its full glory!"
Did he just say that I have beauty? I guess that's actually not surprising from Rook. I remember when I was just talking with Jack and Rook appeared out of nowhere, fawning over Jack's dedication to his work out. Jack was creeped out while I found it funny and started joining Rook in the fawning. I think I made an accidental friend that day.
"Hmmmm, considering the fact that (Y/N) was injured on Pomefiore grounds, I believe that it's fair for him to stay. But! He must act and look like a member of Pomefiore until he can go back."
"What."
"For starters, your wardrobe. Second, your makeup and finally, your manners! Rook, please go take (Y/N) to the sewing room to get him fully fitted!"
"Of course, Roi du Poison!"
"W-wait a minute. Hold it!"
My words did nothing to stop Rook from pulling me into a random room. Next thing that I knew, I was put into an official Pomefiore uniform and was getting my hair and make up done by random Pomefiore students.
"Ouch! Either you start pulling less on my hair or I'll start pulling on your limbs!"
"Sorry! I've just never had to deal with such tangles before."
My threat got through because the student stopped tugging on my hair whenever he came across a tangle. Although during the make over, a certain smell reached my nose. The smell of blood. More importantly, my blood.
I looked down at my bandaged leg to see the entire lower leg of my outfit was drenched in blood. I needed to go see the nurse badly.
"Oh my goodness, what is that smell?!"
And now the other students have noticed it as well.
"Calm down, that's just my leg. I need to go to the nurses' office."
"Do you want some help getting there?"
"Nah, I'll be just fine getting there. Thanks for the offer though."
I started trudging my way out of Pomefiore. The last thing that I really needed was to make more of a mess for the students to clean up. I'm used to bleeding out and making my way to health and safety. This will be no different.
"Monsieur Brute!"
Okay, maybe a tad different.
"What do you want, Rook?"
"I overheard what was happening. Please allow me to assist you!"
"You really don't need to."
"Non-non, Monsieur! It's my fault that you ended up like this in the first place!"
"What?"
My ears twitched at the new voice. Ruggie. I quickly turned my head towards Ruggie to see him just standing there with a weird look on his face.
"Leona's not going to like this."
"Ruggie, don't-!"
Before I could even get my sentence out, Ruggie ran off to Leona. Crap.
"Rook. Run and hide."
"Pardon?"
"Just trust me on this."
Rook, thankfully, didn't take my advice lightly before running back into Pomefiore. I quickly turned in the direction that Ruggie went before running as fast as I can to try and catch him. My injury is very limiting right now for trying to catch people.
"(Y/N)? What ARE you doing?"
Oh boy.
"Hiya, Jack."
"Is there a reason as to why you're bleeding from your leg?"
"I got shot."
"And that's all that I needed to hear."
"Wh-what are you doing?!"
Jack picked me up and put me on his shoulders. He took off to Savanaclaw.
"Where are you taking me?!"
"Where do you think? To Savanaclaw so that you can relax while healing!"
I let out a groan before laying my head on top of Jack's. My leg started to ache so bad that I felt tears starting to form in my eyes. I felt my hand clench around Jack's arm with my nails digging into his flesh.
"Uuuuggghhhh. This is painful."
"Not used to pain?"
"Normally, I can dodge fast enough or I have adrenaline coursing through my veins that prevents the pain from coming through. This is the first time that I've actually let a wound of mine sit long enough for it to ache. I'm not used to it."
"Hmmmm."
We finally reached Savanaclaw only to run into Leona standing right in front of the mirror, looking quite cross.
"Crap."
"Drop my brother."
"He's injured."
"I said drop him."
Jack cast an apologetic look before just dropping me on my butt. It upset my leg quite a lot.
"Rgh!"
"You deserved that for not listening to me. Didn't I tell you not to go around to other dorms anymore?"
"Well, in all honesty, you're a jerk. Second of all: you don't listen to authority yourself. What gives you any right to dictate over what I do with my life?"
"Because I'm your dorm leader and your older brother. That gives me twice the power that I have over you."
"Yet, how many times have I defeated you and Falena in a fight?"
"You wouldn't win in a fight in your condition now."
"Want to test that?"
Leona and I were having a stare down, neither of us really willing to back down from what we said.
"Found him!"
I turned my head to see Ruggie, running with two other Savanaclaw students who seemed to be dragging a certain blonde hunter by his arms behind him.
"Oh no..."
"Well done."
"This took too long! He put up a really good fight but he wasn't able to fight off all three of us!"
Rook did look worse for wear. His clothes were all ripped up and there were plenty of scratches littering his body. Ruggie and the two Savanaclaw students weren't in great shape either. They all seemed to have small scrapes, most likely from Rook's arrows, and just overall, really dirty. Pomefiore's forest wasn't as clean as Vil tried to make it appear.
"You've got a lot of nerve, hunting my own brother, Hunter."
"S'il vous plaît! Roi des Lions, I would never try to hurt (Y/N)'s raw beauty on purpose! It would bring shame to the message that I try to spread!"
"Stop your gibberish. It's giving me a headache."
I started to stand up before Leona just kicked my bad leg to keep down.
"If you know what's good for you, you would stay curled up there."
Leona then grabbed his staff before walking over to Rook.
"Leona! Seriously, this wasn't his fault!"
"Don't care."
Leona stabbed his staff deep into Rook's leg. The same leg that I got shot in.
Rook's screams pierced the air, causing my ear to flick down to try and prevent the awful noise from coming into my head. Sadly, it didn't work. It seemed that one stab wasn't enough for Leona to get his frustration out. He stabbed the same leg multiple times in different spots.
I quickly stood up before tackling one of the Savanaclaw students, who happened to be standing in line with Leona. He slammed into Leona, catching him off balance and sent him tumbling. I was quick to get the staff out of Rook's leg before pulling out my pen to heal him.
Rook, somehow staying conscious of all of this, pulled out his own pen and started firing spells to prevent any of them getting close to us.
"I apologize deeply for this, Rook."
"Non. Once again, this isn't your fault, Monsieur Brute. I can only hope that Vil has gotten the message that I sent him."
"What message?"
My question got answered real fast when I saw more spells being sent from elsewhere. Vil stepped through the mirror and quickly made his way to Rook.
"Are you alright, Rook?"
"Roi du Poison! I could be doing better but I'll be just fine, now that you've graced me with your beauty one last time!"
"Stop being a drama queen. You're going to live. Thank you, (Y/N) for defending Rook until we were able to arrive. You'll always be welcomed to Pomefiore for a retreat if you need one."
"How about a transfer? I might need one soon."
Vil only gave me a slight smile before rushing Rook off. I felt a smile creep onto my own face as well. It's really weird to make friends. My joy didn't last though for the fact that I was quickly tackled to the ground by a Savanaclaw student. I tried to get out from underneath him but he put all of his weight onto my injury.
"Stop it, you idiot! Are you trying to make me lose my leg completely?!"
"Take him to his dorm room. It's quite obvious that he hasn't learned his lesson yet."
I was picked up and rushed off to my dorm room. After I got dropped to the floor, the door slammed and locked within a matter of seconds.
"Yeah, yeah. LOVE YOU TOO GUYS!"
I struggled to stand up and sit down on my bunk. They're really trying to break me, aren't they? Well, that doesn't mean I'll let them. Come at me with your worst, Leona. I'll always come out on top.
Brother B:
That guy keeps staring at me. I don't understand what's so interesting about me? I'm just waiting tables! Maybe I could Jade to talk to him for me? No (Y/N)! Just as Leona has always told you! Be more assertive! You can take care of him!
I took a deep breath before scanning my surroundings once again. The Mostro Lounge always looked really pretty during the evenings, which is a major reason as to why I prefer these shifts over morning or afternoon ones. Finally, I looked over to the table with the Diasomnia student and we made eye contact. I flinched at the visible perk that the guy did when I finally gave him attention. I swear if that guy was staring at me because Floyd didn't take his order again.
I took long strides over to the Diasomnia student before stopping by his table. I gave him a closed eye smile before speaking.
"Good evening, sir! Do you happen to need something from me?"
"I would appreciate it if I could have your number."
My eyes popped open at his request. It freaked me out to say the least. I've never gotten that type of attention before. I mean, I have but those were princes who were requesting for my hand in marriage, thinking that I was a girl. I gave it a few seconds to mull in my brain before shaking my head no.
"Sorry, sir. But I'm not comfortable enough to give just anybody my number."
"Well, then, what if we did something to no longer be just anybody to each other?"
"Well, I appreciate the offer, sir but I'd rather not though."
"Come on, please."
"No, sir."
I turned on my heel to walk away but he grabbed my wrist in a bruising grip.
"Ow! Ow! Let go, sir!"
"No. I'm not going to just take no from a spoiled little prince. You're not going to have anybody who will be willing to give you the time of day ever yet you have the guts to reject me!"
"Sir, please let go! I don't want to have to call in Floyd to remove you from the establishment!"
"What? You're not strong enough to get me out yourself? What a weakling! How did you even get into NRC?"
I felt my resolve melting away. I'm always willing to give people more and more time to redeem themselves before I take matters into my own hands. But this time, I had a feeling that I needed to get my point across.
"Eh~~~~ What's goi-"
"I'm the captor of hearts, I'm the collector of heads. My words are absolute. OBEY ME!"
The man let me go and I felt my anger flare up.
"HOW DARE YOU EVEN THINK OF PUTTING YOUR HANDS ON SOMEONE YOU IS ONLY TRYING TO ASSIST YOU?! LEAVE THE LOUNGE AND DON'T EVEN THINK OF COMING BACK!"
I quickly dispelled my magic to avoid consequence towards my body. The Diasomnia student's body, obviously affected by my magic, left the Mostro Lounge. I quickly got my pulse back to a normal pace when I realized that the entire lounge was dead silent. I quickly spun my head around to realize that people were staring at me in shock, including Floyd, Jade and Azul.
I felt myself becoming more bashful before running over to Azul.
"Azul?"
I was whispering to avoid creating more of a scene.
"Is there any chance that I could go to Savanaclaw to visit my brother right now?"
Azul, still stunned speechless apparently, only nodded his head. I took that and ran. I quickly changed out of my uniform and back into my flowy clothes before making my way over to Savanaclaw. That was so embarrassing.
I made my way to the main Savanaclaw area where I saw a bunch of the dorm members just chilling or playing around. I ran over to one of them.
"Excuse me?"
"Huh?! Oh, it's just you, Prince (Y/N). If you're wondering where Leona is, he's actually at the stadium right now. Something about how we all were making too much noise."
"Thank you!"
I turned away from the Savanaclaw student when I heard a gasp from him. I turned back around and caught him staring at my wrist. I looked at it as well when I noticed a dark purple bruise circling my entire wrist. I knew that his grip was much too tight.
"Oh, I knew that was going to bruise."
"WHAT HAPPENED?!"
"Oh, nothing important. Just a rough customer. Don't you worry about it. Either way, thanks for showing concern!"
"NO, WA-!"
I ran off without hearing the rest of what he had to say. I only had limited time before I was expected back at Octavinelle and I still wanted to see Leona!
I saw my brother and rushed towards him. He was just watching the moon which was weird but I knew Leona felt a connection with the moon in some way.
"Leona!"
I hugged him from behind which actually got a chuckle out of him.
"Heya, (Y/N). What brought you here at this time?"
"I... had a really rough time at the lounge. There was this guy who was being a creep to me and I... completely overreacted."
Leona was quiet for sometime before reacting to my last sentence.
"What exactly happened?"
"Well, the guy who was from Diasomnia decided to be a real creep to me. He grabbed my wrist, see! Here's a bruise that he gave me! I lost my patience for a quick second because he was staring at me earlier. It really freaked me out so I used Obey Me on him and basically banned him from the Mostro Lounge."
Leona stared angrily at the bruise on my wrist before standing up. He grabbed me and started to carry me on his back.
"Leona?! What are you doing?!"
"We're going to have a little talk with Azul."
Leona rushed over to the Mostro Lounge before kicking the doors open, gaining the entire lounge's attention.
"Uh, welcome to the Mostro Lou-"
Leona grabbed Azul by his collar before dragging him into the V.I.P. room. He threw Azul over his desk before carefully placing me on one of the comfortable chairs.
"Listen up, cephalopunk! Is your little trashy business not a safe enough place for my little brother?"
"W-w-w-wait a minute! I try to make sure that the Mostro Lounge is safe for all of my employees!"
"Then how do you explain the fact that (Y/N) has a bruise on his wrist from one of your customers?!"
"We were taking care of it!"
"Obviously you weren't taking care of it as efficiently as you thought! Someone is going to pay for this. You have a decision here, cephalopunk."
"Oh really?"
"Either you tell me the name of the student who hurt my little brother or I'll drag the entirety of Savanaclaw to the Mostro Lounge to ruin it every night."
For the second time in the same night, Azul was stunned speechless by a Kingscholar. Azul quickly tried to regain his confidence and gave a smirk to Leona.
"There's no way that you would do that."
Leona only returned his smirk with his own before walking out of the V.I.P. room. Oh boy, did Azul look like he was going to ink himself more than ever?
"Azul, you might want to reconsider Leona's offer."
Azul looked at me before plastering a smile back on his face. It was threatening to fall off at any minute.
"I'm not threatened by Leona's threat at all. I'm certain that he won't do anything. It takes effort to actually do what he's threatening. Also to make up for the fact that you did get injured on the job, I'm giving you the next three days off from work."
"You're going to need extra muscle to stop the entirety of Savanaclaw from entering the Mostro Lounge."
"Once again, (Y/N), you have too much faith in your brother."
Azul should have listened to me. I walked out of my dorm to go get some food from the kitchen to see the Mostro Lounge completely trashed with Savanaclaw students just making a mess of the lounge. I saw Leona laying on top of one of the tables, his eyes closed giving off the impression that he was sleeping. I also took note of the fact that Jade and Floyd were tied up with a bunch of table cloths.
I let out a sigh before walking over to Leona. The rest of the Savanaclaw students gave me a lot of space to walk. They did not want to invoke Leona's wrath by hurting me either.
"Leona."
Leona didn't move but I knew that he heard me so I just continued on.
"Don't you think that you've done enough damage yet?"
I heard a door break before a lot of hollers followed shortly after. I saw Azul get dragged out of the V.I.P. room and throw over to where Jade and Floyd were to just get tied up as well.
"Now, I say that we've done enough damage. ALRIGHT BOYS! PACK IT UP AND LET'S GO HOME!"
All of the Savanaclaw students just started shouting more and rushing out of the Mostro Lounge, destroying more things in their wake. Leona only gave off a triumph smirk and air while he sauntered out of the lounge. A faint smile appeared on my face, it's been a while since I've seen Leona proud of something that he has done.
I quickly rushed over to where the tied up members of Octavinelle were and got to work untying them. The knots were quite tight so it took me longer than I truly wished for it to take.
The first person that I got undone was Jade. He was quick to stand up and help with untying the others.
"This was completely uncalled for."
"Well, it depends on how you look at it. Leona did give Azul the choice of either telling him a name or face this."
"(Y/N). I understand how important it is to love a brother, faults and all."
"Heeeyyyy!"
"But you shouldn't defend actions like those of anybody."
"Guess you can say that I'm programmed to defend Leona at every aspect of his life."
After about twenty minutes of untying, we got everyone untied and started cleaning up.
"Oh, we're going to be at such a deficit because of these damages."
"Well, if you don't want to have to spend all of that money again tomorrow, you should give Leona what he asked for. I have a good feeling that Leona will hold through with his threat still. Doesn't matter if you have nothing, he'll figure out what to take after that."
Azul appeared to be thinking over what I said before walking to his office. He came back out with his cane and snapped his fingers.
"Jade. Floyd. Come with me. We have business with Mr. Leona Kingscholar."
"Woo! No more cleaning!"
Floyd threw his broom which caused it to knock into the already broken plates and broke them even more.
"FLOYD!!"
"Hehehehe~ Whoops~"
I watched as the trio left. Maybe tomorrow will be an easier day. The bruise on my wrist started to fade a bit today which made it a tiny bit easier to clean and use it.
Today was not easier. Easier on the body yes but not for the sight in the main courtyard. The man who harassed me was strung up above one of the entrances to the main building. He appeared to be alive but he kept on coughing up sand. It seems as if Leona has gotten his way in the end.
Azul Ashengrotto
"Please, Azul! We don't even have to leave the Mostro Lounge, just anywhere out of this room!"
I was desperate to be let out of Azul's room. It had nearly been the two week long break that Azul wanted but I knew that I couldn't stand any longer. He kept coddling me, acting as if I was the three year old that he originally met.
"Now why exactly would I do that? We're having such a lovely time with just the two of us! You should be grateful that we get to bond at all. I feel bad for all of the little brothers who can't bond with their older ones."
I felt myself tense up with anger. Azul could be such a hypocrite when he wanted to be. That situation was literally us ten years ago! How could he have forgotten the pain that he inflicted on me so easily?!
"Yes, I apologize, Azul. I should have been more grateful."
I can't fight him at every turn anymore. I just don't have the willpower to do so.
"I'm glad that you finally recognized that you were acting like a toddler. Now, come here. I think that you need some cuddles to calm down."
Azul had a victorious grin on his face while spreading his arms wide open for me to set myself in. Another cage that he loved to put me in. I started to fidget with my fingers before walking over to him. I heaved myself onto the bed that he was sitting on before climbing into his lap. Azul gained a softer smile on his face before wrapping his arms around me and pulling me lightly into his body.
I felt his face burrow slightly into hair. He was letting out little giggles. He always did that when he was very happy. For example, he's been giggling for the entirety of these past two weeks.
There was a knock at the door, which made Azul stop giggling and let out a slight growl. Ha, that's what you get for imprisoning me. He lifted me out of his lap before setting me down on the bed. He nearly ripped the door off the hinges. I felt scared for the door.
"What exactly is so IMPORTANT that you have to interrupt the time that I've dedicated to my brother?"
If the person isn't a tweel, they are going to be in so much trouble tomorrow.
"Sorry, Azul. But we're having a bit of an issue. It seems that Yuu and their little posse are starting a fight in the common area."
It's Jade. I don't think that Azul could ever be mad at him. Even if he somehow killed me, I think that Azul and Jade would be on good terms.
Azul was looking worried at this fact and started looking between Jade and I.
"Alright, I'll be there in a few seconds."
Azul turned around, grabbed his cane and picked me up with one arm.
"I don't want you to feel cheated of time with me so, I think that this small excursion won't be such a bad idea. Although as soon as I get this fight sorted out, you and I are going right back into that room for a good cuddle session, okay?"
I only nodded my head, excited to see other people than Azul. It feels like it has been years since I've seen the Mostro Lounge. The lights in there felt like the stars that I would gaze at during my late night trips to the surface. If I was lucky enough to still have energy after finishing my homework that is.
"WHO IS YAWL CALLIN' UH GIRL?! AHL SHOW YAWL!"
I turned my head to a very feminine boy who appeared to be trying to fight a Heartslabyul student. He was being held back by a giant wolf guy and a mint green haired fae.
"Epel, drop it!"
"EPEL! STOP THIS UNRULY BEHAVIOR AT ONCE!"
"MAKE MAY!"
"Excuse me!"
Azul set me on the ground before running over to the fight and started to yell at both parties. I just watched in amusement at all of the fighting. It sort of reminded me of my best friends back at... middle school.
I miss those guys. (B/F/N) and (F/N) were some of the best people that I got to spend time with. They weren't jealous over what I had or what I could do. They just loved to spend time with me. I wonder what they're doing now though.
While I was deep in thought, I didn't notice the leaf shot that was coming my direction until it hit me straight in the face.
"OUCH!"
My eyes were in so much pain! The leaves that were swirling around got a clear hit at my eyes. I think that a blade did actually hit my retinas.
"(Y/N)!"
I heard Azul rush over to me and started to push my hands away to get a good look at my eyes. He forced my eyes open to quickly assess the damage. It seems as if the fighting had stopped since I was injured.
After about two minutes, Azul left out a sigh. Based on his facial expressions, it was most likely a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, no actual damage has been done to your eyes. But..."
Azul then stood up, having a death grip on his cane, and shot a spell towards the group suspending them all in the air.
"THE MOSTRO LOUNGE IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOUR PETTY ARGUMENTS! THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR RECKLESSNESS, MY LITTLE BROTHER HAS BEEN INJURED! YOU ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED INTO THE MOSTRO LOUNGE! NOW, GET OUT!"
At the end of his little speech, Azul used the same magic to send the group of six first years and the offending Heartslabyul student and his group flying out of the Mostro Lounge's doors. Quickly regaining his composure, Azul looked over the rest of the guests who fell silent at the fight that was happening in the lounge. He quickly cleared his throat before talking.
"Apologies, loyal customers! Hopefully, we won't have another outburst again today but please do remember! The Mostro Lounge is a safe café for students to relax, not a risky bar for people to have fights in!"
Everyone seemed to go back to their own business after Azul had said that. Azul then quickly turned back to me and picked me back up once again.
"Let's get you back to the room so that I can patch you up, (Y/N)."
We ran back to the room and he took me into the small bathroom. He set me down on the sink counter before pulling out his magic pen.
"Oh, I should have known that taking my fragile little brother out into what could have been a war zone was a bad idea. You've gotten little cuts, haven't you?"
"I'm not completely defenseless anymore Azul."
My tongue moved before I could think.
"What was that?"
Azul's soft tone is gone now, I have no chance of getting back soon. His gaze turned into a cold glare. I was in for it this time.
"Nothing, Azul! I said nothing!"
"Oh no! I'm nipping this in the bud before it gets out of hand."
Azul lifted me up before taking me back to the bedroom. He laid me, stomach down, over his legs before swatting my behind.
"If I seriously need to whack this into you, I will, (Y/N)! You are my baby brother! You will stop with the back talk and this rebellious behavior!"
I let out a cry of pain. This really hurts!
"Sorry! Sorry! I promise I won't do it again! Just stop please!"
"Hmmmmm, since you've already gotten hurt already, I think I can ease up on this punishment."
That's a relief. I hate punishments like these. They're so embarrassing and painful for me. Azul resituated me so that we were both lying down and that I was trapped in a perma-hug next to Azul's heart beat.
"I think it's a good time for you to take a nap. Doesn't that sound just refreshing, (Y/N)?"
"Uh huh."
I nodded my head as well. I felt a kiss be pressed to the top of my head before Azul's heart beat actually started to lull me to sleep. A perfect tempo to calm my racing thoughts.
*Azul's POV*
(Y/N)'s breathing has finally steadied out, which means that I could grab my phone for a quick text. I opened up the group chat between me, Jade and Floyd. I sent a quick text explaining exactly what I wanted to happen. It was one of those dim Heartslabyul students who sent the leaf shot (Y/N)'s way. I made it clear that I want him to be punctured like a pin cushion and a rose put into each of the holes. That was Jade's task. I told Floyd to give the Yuu first year group a good scare with a few scars to let them know what happens if you mess in the Mostro Lounge.
After I sent out my texts, I switched my phone to silent and set it down face first on my nightstand. I looked down to see (Y/N) just snoozing away. He was so adorable! How on earth could I not recognize his cuteness before?
"I was such a fool when I was younger. I'm going to make it up to you now."
That was a promise that I was going to keep to him.
When the little brother goes for an 'adventure': Riddle, Leona, and Azul edition. Short stories(?)
I saw someone post this idea under platonic yandere and I wanted to try my hand at writing it. I really hope that I don't mess this up. Link to the post. I hope that I did the idea justice.
Warnings: Yandere and this is insanely long by my writing standards.
Riddle Rosehearts
Shortly after my brother's overblot, Riddle became more and more controlling over what I could and couldn't do. I could color my heart out but I wasn't allowed to eat on my own. He was very confusing on what was allowed and what wasn't.
Normally, I'd never dare to leave Riddle's side but today, the outdoors was practically calling out to me for an exploration. Plus Ace has been making fun of me for my vitamin D deficiency. I get it! I'm pale. Not my fault.
Riddle was busy in his room, determined to finish all of his homework before our mandatory tea party at six. It's four right now, so I think that I have time to go and explore NRC campus and get some sunlight.
I decided that it would be for the best if I changed out of the dorm uniform and into a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. This way, my body will produce more vitamin D and I can get my cardio work done. I quickly exited Heartslabyul and quickly made my way to Ramshackle dorm. I remember Yuu talking about how there was a forest around there and I personally love to run next to nature.
The forest that Yuu was talking about was actually quite lovely. There was plenty of natural wildlife and a whole bunch of different flowers. I also noticed that while I was running that there were violets growing everywhere. Trey-senpai loves candied violets and he has been helping me out with Riddle for a while now. I should make him some a thank you.
I got close to the ground and started picking the violet heads without them crumbling on me. I just kept picking more and more until I realized that I was lost. I left my magic pen back at the dorm because I didn't think that I was going to travel this far into the forest plus looking up at the sky, I would say that it's close to 6:30 at this point.
Riddle is going to have my head, isn't he?
"Ah... Crap. I've really messed this up, haven't I?"
I started muttering to myself to try and calm myself down. Sadly, it wasn't working and the next thing that I heard terrified me to my core.
"(Y/N)! HOW DARE YOU KEEP YOUR QUEEN WAITING!?"
Riddle looked like a mess. His face was red and his dorm outfit had stains all over it, meaning that he has been searching for me for a while now.
I did what any normal person would do in this case. I ran. I ran far and fast. Riddle in this mood was dangerous and I'm not feeling brave enough to face him right now.
"(Y/N)! GET BACK HERE, YOUNG MAN! OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!"
I quickly ducked and saw a collar flying over my head. It wrapped around a tree branch before disappearing. Riddle was throwing everything that he could at me. Thank you Mother for all the agility training lessons and steak knives that you threw at me.
I jumped to see a wave of water rush underneath me but I wasn't ready for the tree branches to cross together to block my path.
"OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!"
I felt the collar wrap around my neck this time. I wrapped my hands around the collar from reflex and next thing that I knew, Riddle ran into my back knocking us both to the ground. All of the violets that I had picked were now muddy and worthless. So, much for doing something nice for Trey.
"WHY ARE YOU IN THIS FOREST?!"
"I-I-I..."
"WELL?!"
I felt my body start to shake. Riddle when angry was always terrifying and this time was no different. I felt his eyes bore into my body, awaiting my answer.
"I thought that it was okay to go outside for a bit..."
My voice was small and shaken, unlike my normal monotone voice. I felt like a child for once.
"Well, it's not. Okay? You should have just waited in the main dorm room until I was done with my homework. Now, because of your little 'adventure', we don't have any time for a tea party and we're both messes. Come on."
Riddle grabbed my arm in a crushing grip and pulled me to my feet. He didn't relinquish his hold the whole entire walk back. In fact, I was pretty certain that he kept on tightening his grip. Even though I am the stronger brother, Riddle's grip still hurts me. I wonder if that's because of the spell that Mom used years ago...
Finally, we reached Heartslabyul and everyone was shocked to see us both not looking our best. Dirt can really ruin someone's appearance. Riddle was getting angrier by the second. First, I completely ruined his time schedule and now, I'm ruining his appearance to the rest of his dorm.
Riddle pulled me all the way to his room and swung me in. I stumbled slightly, not used to being able to walk on my own, and saw Riddle lock the door to his room. He then walked into his personal bathroom, motioning me to follow suit.
I went into the bathroom and closed the door behind me. This was one of our weirder family traditions. Because Mom saw me as less of a human being, she would make Riddle and I wash together because "You don't deserve your own bath." So, now we just always bathe together. I tried to bathe on my own one time and Riddle threw a mild tantrum that had four other Heartslabyul students losing their heads.
Riddle got the water ready and we both just sunk into the water. The personal bathroom for a dorm leader is quite huge to be honest so we had a good amount of distance between us. Riddle was just staring me down while I sunk further into the water, wishing to disappear.
We got clean and put on clothes but Riddle's eyes never left my figure nor did it soften at all. He then pulled up two chairs and sat in one. Oh boy, it was time for a talk.
"(Y/N). What did you do wrong today?"
"I was late to our daily tea party."
"And?"
"And that I went outside without you by my side."
"You do realize that you broke your most important rules as well?"
"I was aware. I just thought that you weren't going to need me when you were saf-"
"That is no excuse."
I flinched at Riddle's cold tone. I wasn't looking forward to what he had planned.
"For breaking rule #5 of (Y/N)'s protection guidebook, you're now stuck by my left side for the next four days while doing your normal duties."
"Yes, my Queen."
"Good. Now come on. I have a different tea party to attend with Cater."
I nodded my head before standing up and going over to Riddle's left side. I held out my hand for him. He grabbed it and I helped him out of the chair. We then made our way to the tea party. Cater was there waiting for us and he gave a peace sign to us.
"Hey~! I didn't know that (Y/N)-chan was going to join us!"
"This was a last minute development."
"Okay! Well, pull up a chair and enjoy~!"
I only shook my head before pulling out Riddle's chair and pushing him in. I then took my place to his left. I wasn't about to put Cater in trouble. Cater then looked at both of us before he put his phone up and took a photo of us. Riddle's eyes widened slightly.
"#HeartslabyulTeaParty, #RoseheartBros, #AdorableBrotherlyLove! This photo is going to get so many likes!"
The rest of the tea party continued like normal. I was so thankful when it ended. I lost feeling in my legs and was ready to crash. Riddle gave me a light smirk while I held the door open for him. We both got ready for bed and we just crashed.
"I hope that you'll think twice before going out on another 'adventure'."
"Yes, my Queen."
Leona Kingscholar
(I really hate that I have two little brothers for Leona. But here we go! Also for the first brother, this will be before your complete kidnapping and for the second, this is before your transfer.)
Brother A:
"Dang! It's such a boring day! What's the point of having a weekend if you don't have anything to actually do?!"
I was just complaining to myself while lying in my dorm room. All of my roommates were out, practicing Spelldrive most likely, and the other first years are busy trying to get their homework. Those dorks not getting their homework done faster.
I got up from my bed and grabbed my trusty ax. It took me forever to get it onto campus. Crowley wouldn't stop making me promise over and over and then eventually, I had to sign a contract made by Azul. If I ever try to attack a student with said ax, I get teleported straight to Crowley's office. Honestly, it would be a pretty useful escape mechanism.
I decided that I was going to explore the Diasomnia dorm. It has some of the most interesting terrain out of all of the dorms and I want to see it. I made quick track over to the hall of mirrors and rushed into Diasomnia. If anybody from Savanaclaw saw me, Leona would hear about it.
Diasomnia has quite an interesting aura about it. I heard that it's close to Briar Valley in décor and flora. I quickly walked up to the castle and went inside. There were plenty of Diasomnia students in the lobby who were just staring at me like I had three heads. In fact, I saw a few of them getting their pens ready to attack me but thankfully, Lilia came out of nowhere to greet me.
"Fufufu~! It's not everyday that we get a Savanaclaw visitor. Especially one that's related to the dorm leader. What brings you here?"
"I'm glad that there is a friendly face here. I was just wondering if I had permission to go and explore the forest around your castle?"
Lilia's face morphed into a shocked one at my request.
"T-that's what you want to do? I truly thought that you came over to hang out with Sebek."
"Nah. Don't get me wrong, I love Sebek but he's busy with the other first years. I think that he's yelling at all of them for messing up the work."
"Oh~ Love?"
"Easy there. Platonic love."
"Awwww."
Lilia's face formed into a pout. I let out a light laugh.
"Sooooo, am I free to prowl your grounds?"
"Of course! I'll let Malleus know of your presence so that you don't end up being fried cat!"
"Thanks."
I exited the castle and quickly scaled down the cliff to the forest below. All of the trees didn't have leaves which I guessed was normal for this dimension. There were also no animals around which I sort of expected. There was no actual food in the area for anything. No green = no small prey. No small prey = no predators. But honestly, I think that it's better this way.
I heard a twig snap behind me. It was a few miles away so I wasn't too worried about it. What started to worry me was the whooshing that was coming up behind me fast. I turned around and saw Malleus floating at me at full speed.
I started to run myself except a bunch of fire lit up around me, keeping me in the circle. Malleus then walked through the flames, glaring down at me.
"What brings you here, Kingscholar Two?"
"Just wanting to explore the area."
"Without asking permission from those who live here?"
"Lilia seemed okay with me being here."
"You are not welcome here. Leave."
Malleus normally isn't like this. I've seen him interact with plenty of people. Heck, even I had a few friendly conversations with him. Something must have really made him mad.
"Why aren't I welcome here? It isn't as if I'm messing anything up with your dorm."
"You're contesting me? I shouldn't have expected less from Kingscholar's little brother."
"Yeah, if you want me to leave, you're going to have to make me."
A smirk appeared on my face and a slight smile appeared on Malleus'. We always had small fights with each other to test each other's magic. Everyone is always afraid to fight us so we just fight each other.
Malleus was the first to send out a spell. A powerful fire wave that I was able to dodge by a millisecond. I sent back to him a water shot, trying to douse out his flames. I did hit him in the arm but he only laughed it off. This happened for a while before my ax accidently flew off my back and almost hit Malleus straight in the face.
Thankfully, the contract worked and I was teleported to Crowley's office with my ax now stuck in a wall.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME, KINGSCHOLAR?! YOU PROMISED THAT YOU WOULDN'T ATTACK ANYONE!"
"I DIDN'T! I LOST MY GRIP ON MY AX AND IT WENT FLYING TOWARDS SOMEONE!"
"YOUR BROTHER IS GOING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS!"
"AWW, COME ON!"
I sat in Crowley's office until Leona arrived after five hours. Crowley refused to let me leave without supervision in case I went out of control. Listen, I may be able to hurt anybody and everybody but I have more control than that!
"You woke me up for this? Are you serious?"
Leona was given me the biggest death glare while I was just looking off to the side.
"Yes, because he belongs in your dorm and that he is your family, you must take responsibility and discipline your brother correctly to make sure that he won't harm somebody."
"A: What did he even do and B: Why should I care?"
"I can answer B. You should care because it will a bad rep for NRC and Savanaclaw together.
Your dorm will suffer if the press heard that one of your members either killed or severely wounded someone.
You also wouldn't get any beauty sleep. (Y/N), you have to answer A."
I glared at Crowley before telling my part.
"I went over to Diasomnia."
"...are you kidding me right now? Diasomnia!?"
"Listen! I know that you don't like the dorm leader but you don't have any right to forbid me from going over!"
"I've told you plenty of times! How many more times do I have to tell you!?"
"Keep yapping because I'm still not listening! But I was exploring the forest around the castle and Malleus and I started fighting."
I saw Leona clench his fist slowly. I was so in for it later.
"I had my ax strapped to my back and when I went to send my own spell, I pulled a maneuver that ended up having the strap slide off of my back and sent my ax flying towards Malleus' face. It was all accidental."
"Why were you fighting that Lizard in the first place?!"
"Because he was in a bad mood and one of the easiest ways for him to get out negative emotions is through fighting! You are the exact same way!"
Leona slammed his hands on Crowley's desk before standing up to glare at me.
"DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE ME TO THAT LIZARD AGAIN!"
Leona's roar was terrifying that it almost made my tail go between my legs. Almost is the key word. I stood up as well and just glared back with just as much fierceness. We both were letting out growls and getting tense. I was the first to strike.
I jumped onto Leona sending both of us flying over Crowley's desk, messing everything up.
"You've never cared about who I hung out with before! WHY DOES IT MATTER SO MUCH NOW?!"
Leona then kicked me off, my back making contact with Crowley's window, shattering it. The glass dug deep into my back. weakening me.
"Because you're starting to get on my nerves with who you choose to hang out with! First, it was that herbivore and now, it's that stupid Lizard!"
Leona then grabbed me and slammed me down on the floor, pushing the glass deeper. I saw black spots consuming my vision but I wasn't out just yet. I looked towards Crowley.
"Survival of the Fittest."
Crowley then collapsed while I felt more energized than ever. I was able to ignore the glass in my back and was able to wrestle Leona off of me.
I never realized how much power that Headmage actually had. Considering he never makes any effort in trying to do anything.
"I am your hunger, I am your thirst. I am what steals your tomorrows. Kneel before me! King's Roar!"
Leona's power was slowly draining the power that I stole away. We had to either wrap this up soon or until one of us submits. The rest of the faculty barged in and separated Leona and I from each other. Crowley's office was a mess, full of sand, glass, and blood. Leona was in worse shape than I was except at least he wasn't phasing in and out of consciousness.
"You pups need to be better disciplined! Two months worth of detention!" Crewel yelled at us, before we both were being ushered to our dorm by Coach Vargas.
We got healed once we hit our dorm and Leona demanded that I go to his room. The aura that we were radiating scared the rest of the dorm to get out of our way.
"What more do we need to talk about? We nearly just killed each other. I think that we got enough across to one another."
"You're done with going to other dorms."
"Excuse me?"
"I know that you heard me but I'll repeat for my slow little brother. Since you obviously can't be trusted by yourself, you have to be either at the main building or at Savanaclaw at all times. Ruggie will accompany everywhere with you."
"You can't just do that! I have other friends from other dorms!"
"Ah, thank you for reminding me! Drop them."
I just stared at Leona in disbelief. This man was trying to dictate my entire school life.
"You must be joking."
"I'm not. That's a command to you from your dorm leader. Now off you go."
I just glared at Leona before walking away in a huff. There was no way to get through to him while he's like this. My ears immediately picked up lighter footsteps.
"Go away, Ruggie."
"No can do, (Y/N). I'm not too happy about this either but I'm not about to go against Leona."
"Grrr."
I just continued walking down to my dorm and I just slammed my door closed. I heard Ruggie knocking but I refused to open the door and just put a pillow over my ears. I started to grit my teeth together, trying to keep my emotions under control.
"Leona will snap back to his senses. He has to. He has to."
If he doesn't, I don't know how much of my sanity will last this year.
Brother B:
"So, you're telling me: that you messed up a potion and then spilled it on my brother!?"
"Na-Na!"
I held out my hands and started to do grabby motions. I want upsies!
"Now, now, let's discuss this calmly like adults! Just put the chair down!"
I turned my head to witness Azul cowering behind his desk while Leona was trying to attack him with one of the comfort chairs in the VIP room. I wasn't getting upsies anytime soon.
"Ehh~ I knew that pouring that potion on Honey-chan would be funny."
"You're the reason why (Y/N) is now a toddler?!"
"FLOYD!"
Leona then turned the chair towards Floyd while Floyd wasn't paying attention. Jade was trying to keep in his chuckles while watching from behind Azul's desk. The room was just full of chaos.
I kept trying to get upsies but everyone was distracted. I got bored and left the VIP room. The Mostro Lounge was so full of pretty lights! My eyes then caught another shiny thing! A golden arm band on a white haired student. He was leaving the Mostro Lounge and I was quick to chase after him.
I came upon a weird mirror that many people were walking through and disappearing but I didn't care. I just wanted the shiny! I bolted through the mirror and came out of the other side. There were more people on the other side and more mirrors. I saw another shiny outside of the building and ran out. The shiny turned out to be the sun but it was really pretty.
There were also a bunch of pretty birds and two of them dropped a flower crown on my head. I let out a light laugh before deciding to follow them. I don't know how long I was running for but eventually, the birds flew off and I lost sight of them.
"Bye, friends! I hope to see you another day!"
I shouted and waved goodbye before I took a look around. I was in the middle of a forest and I don't know where I am.
"Na-Na?"
Where is my big brother?
"Lena?"
Where are my big brothers?
*Snap*
"AAHHHH! NA-NA! LENA! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
I picked a direction and ran as fast as I could, shouting out for my brothers. They have to be nearby! They have to! I felt tears leak out of my eyes before the next thing that I knew, I couldn't see anything because it was so blurry. My foot caught a root and I went tumbling. I felt plenty of ouchies form and I eventually stopped rolling. My whole entire body hurt so badly.
"Na-Na? Lena? Help me please."
I felt my eyes start to close and I couldn't keep them open any longer.
"(N/N)? (N/N)!"
"(Y/N)! Where have you gone?!"
"Honey-chan~! Come out so I can give you a nice big squeeze!"
I slightly reopened my eyes before whispering out one last time.
"Na-Na."
"(N/N)!"
I saw Leona rush over to me and I felt him pick me up. He felt so warm and comfy that I couldn't help but nuzzle deeper into him.
"I'm sleepy, Na-Na."
"No! Don't go to sleep yet, (N/N)! Stay awake for Na-Na! Please!"
"I'll try, Na-Na."
I really was trying. Whenever one of my eyes were starting to droop, I put my hand near that eye to lift it back up the eyelid. I didn't want to disappoint Na-Na.
"This is all your fault, Floyd!"
"My fault?! How?!"
"If you had just behaved, (Y/N) wouldn't be in such a fragile state!"
"EEEEHHHH?!"
"ZIP IT BOTH OF YOU! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!"
Floyd and Azul shut up after Leona yelled at them. The forest was zooming past and eventually, I saw the big castle that I saw from the weird mirror building again.
"Na-Na? Are we going to go to the big castle? Are we in the sky, Na-Na?"
"We're going to the big castle but we're not in the sky! You are not going to be in the sky anytime soon! I swear on my life!"
"But the sky is where all of the birdies live."
"But if you went to live in the sky, Lena and I couldn't visit you. Do you want that?"
"No. I want to visit Lena and Na-Na together."
"Good. Now stop trying to get to the sky."
"Okay."
"Eh, Honey-chan, if you want to get to the sky, I think that Azul can help you~"
"Floyd! Silence!"
Leona rushed me to a room with curtains and beds before setting me down on a bed.
"Fix him. NOW!"
I felt some relief in the places that were in a lot of pain. I felt a smile break out on my face. I opened my eyes to see Leona just there staring back at me. He looked quite grumpy. But I knew that was Leona's normal face.
I let out a giggle before putting my palm on his left cheek.
"Na-Na came and saved me."
"Yeah, Na-Na will always come save you. You should take a nap now though, (N/N). I'll be right back."
"Okay, Na-Na."
I closed my eyes and started to snooze.
"Now you two and I are going to have a talk. COME HERE!"
"EEK!"
"OUCH!"
The door then slammed shut and I heard a lot of banging from the hallway. Thankfully, the thuds were in rhythm and made it easier to fall asleep.
I wonder what dream I'll have this time.
*Leona's POV*
"Ugh, those stupid sea creatures. Making me waste energy on their problems."
I walked back into the nurse's office after beating Azul and Floyd to the ground to see (Y/N) just snoozing away on the bed.
"He's all healed up. He'll be right as rain by the time that he wakes up again."
I only nodded at the nurse, signaling to him that he could leave. He did leave and I crawled up next to my little brother.
"You're going to be the death of me. You should be thankful that you have me for your brother."
I'll make sure that nothing ever hurts you, even if I have to take you away from all evil.
Azul Ashengrotto
Land is awful. I need a break from the land. Azul, why did you have to bring me to the land?
"I want to go swimming."
"We can't go swimming today, (Y/N). You've got a debut to do today anyway."
Azul put the finishing touches on my outfit and I looked ten times more dapper than I usually do. I decided to practice my magic and manipulate water into beautiful shapes. A few Scarabia students saw the shapes and immediately ran up to me to watch what I could make. They even gave suggestions on what I should make and it was quite fun.
Azul found us doing it and from there on, he made me start putting on water shows for evening shifts. He did pay me but I didn't even want to perform. I just wanted to swim.
The lights started to blink, signaling that it was my time to go to the small stage. Azul gave me a warm smile before petting my head lightly.
"Knock them dead, little brother. Show them what Ashengrottos can do."
"Okay."
I walked out onto stage and turned towards the crowd. I was thankful for my time at my last school for the fact alone that everyone would always stare at me. I can take the stares.
I quickly bowed to the crowd before I activated my magic. Jade and Floyd put large containers of water all over the Mostro Lounge for me to manipulate. I started by having thin streams of water travel throughout the entire dining area. People were in awe with how soothing the running water sounded. I then separated the paths into different sections and formed shapes with each section.
The show was a huge hit. I would be constantly scanning the crowd to see what thing I should create out of the water and which table I should send it to. By the time that I was done, everyone was applauding and I even got some whistles. I did one last bow before rushing backstage.
"That was excellent! If you keep doing acts like that, profits will skyrocket! Although I don't know how I feel about all of the eyes on you. I might lock you up for a week after each performance, just so that they all understand that they can't see you all the time."
Azul whispered that last part but I still heard him loud and clear. It may have sounded like a question but I knew that he was actually going to do that. A week?! I can't stand only Azul for a week!
I felt my hand twitching and I was so tempted to run then and there. But no, I have to be careful about this. So, I waited and waited in the dressing room. I checked the clock and saw that enough time passed and that the Mostro Lounge would be at its busiest.
I peaked out of the dressing room to see Floyd and Jade rushing everywhere and I also got a peak of Azul taking someone to the VIP room. It was go time. I moved in short sprints until I made it to the mirror. I went through and saw nobody in the hall of mirrors.
"Yes!"
I sprinted to the outskirts of NRC campus. Because of it being on top of a cliff, I could just jump off and straight into water. I saw the coliseum and just kept on the path. I quickly came to the wind mill and rushed past it. The cliff was safe from sharp rocks at the bottom and sharp edges that I could hit.
"Deep breath. Let's go!"
I jumped and performed a dive into the deep water below. I felt my body shift back into my mermaid form and I just started swimming. I've never been allowed to explore the water around the Isle of Sages, mainly because Azul liked having a tight grip on the metaphorical leash around my neck.
The water felt so nice and cool on my scales. There were so many different types of fish around, I found at least five new types that I've never seen back at the Coral Sea! Plus there were so many different shipwrecks! One of them still had skeletons from the crew. Those poor souls, unable to break free of their containment.
I originally just planned to time myself fifteen minutes but... It's been so long that I couldn't help but break that limit. I haven't felt this free ever since I got here. My need for adventure has never felt so fulfilled before.
"I wonder what's under this rock?"
"Well, you're not going to find out."
I jolted upwards, wasn't expecting a voice. Let alone it being Azul's voice.
"A-A-Azul!"
"Here I thought that I made it clear that you weren't allowed to go swimming. I must have been much too lenient with you. I'll make sure to remedy my mistake."
"Rainbow-Chan!"
I felt Floyd wrap around me and then, I felt his teeth bite deeply in my arm. I let out a scream, plenty of pain flowing through my body. My vision was really blurry so I could only rely on touch to tell me what was happening.
I felt my head be lifted up and a potion going down my throat.
"There we go. Let's get you your legs back."
I passed out and woke up in Azul's room.
"No... No, no, no, no."
I quickly got out of the bed and went to try and open the door. As expected, it was locked.
"Let me out! Let me out please!"
"Little brother... It's three AM. You need your sleep."
I felt Azul's tentacles wrap around me before pulling me back to the bed. I was shocked that Azul was willing in his octo form but I couldn't let the shock stop me. I had to try and break free of his grip. But sadly, my human form is still quite weak.
Azul brought my head to his chest and put my ear above his heart to assure that I could hear it beating.
"Shhh, shhh. I know that you're upset. You woke up and put yourself in a fit. Don't worry, your big brother is here to protect you from all of your worst nightmares. After all, you're going to be in here with me for two whole weeks. We can bond and become very close together. Of course, I'll need to leave from time to time but I'll be back to spend all the time in the world with you."
"Two... weeks?"
"Yep! It'll be fun!"
Great Seven, please save me.
