Flufffffffffffffff

flufffffffffffffff

With love, M.S.

Prompt: lucifer + secret admirer gn pronouns pls 🥺

Requested by: @kaboomkazuhabrainrot

Type: Headcanons

Genre: Fluff

With love M.S, that's how the letter was signed. It was written on a small black paper with silver inked letters. It was just beautiful, in it was displayed a poem talking about your eyes and the way they shine when you stood under the moonlight. Attached to it was also a piece of dark chocolate, and an expensive-looking treat for your palate to enjoy.

You could only wonder about the author of this, surely this was meant for somebody else. But then, how did they manage to leave it in your room without you noticing? Maybe it was some sort of prank? A joke? The burning sensation in your cheeks made you wish it wasn´t, it would be lovely if someone were to like you romantically.

Whoever made it knew a lot about you, about your personality and your desires, about your passions and dreams. They had to be someone close to you, otherwise, you´d have to worry about someone stalking you and being a creep.

The author had to like you a lot, right? Or at least, care for you. Little did you know the culprit behind the note was no other than the mighty and distinguished firstborn, Lucifer. The avatar of pride was just so enamored he didn´t know what to do, he´d go speechless if you were to discover his secret. Little lovesick sighs would escape his lips once he was alone in his office, imagining if you were thinking about him too.

No one knew about his feelings for you, the human that was able to break his walls down (or so he thought, I´ll explain later). Not even Diavolo, who would always whine and complain wanting to know his right-hand man´s secret crush. How did Dia know Lucifer had a crush? Easy, Barbatos mentioned that the firstborn had been acting odd ever since you made a pact with him (The butler heard a mouthful of curses from Lucifer after almost spilling the truth).

It was amusing to see Lucifer write his secret letters for you. He'd always use black paper, a red envelope, and silver ink: Elegant, it truly matched his essence. Sometimes, if he was feeling bold, he´d add a flower bouquet or a small piece of jewelry for you to wear. It gave him a nice ego boost to see you wear his gifts, even if you didn´t know he was the sender.

However, he couldn't let you know about his feelings just yet; not when he still had so much to say and learn from you. Rejection was something he feared and the demon had to be sure you felt the same way before confessing. To be anonymous was the only way for him to tell you about it, he thought about many ways to sign his letters: A capital L was his first idea, but it could get mistaken with Leviathan; he then thought about his pact mark, but that´d be far too easy for you to decipher.

He needed something harder to decode...something that was his but that would be a challenge for you to discover; Morning Star, M.S.

His letters would always arrive in the morning, although they'd sometimes appear at night. You'd often find yourself waking up with a red envelope by your side, resting on your nightstand. Every letter had little things Lucifer liked about you: Your smile, your voice, your talents, the way you'd make him smile even when stressed.

Everything about you was a mystery he wanted to savor slowly and that you clearly were enjoying too since you seemed more than happy to be part of his admiration and love for you.

You were his muse and oh, how he loved his muse.

cuteeeeeeeeee

All pictures with the new characters!! (And Barbatos!)

May I request headcanons with the teachers (if you feel uncomfortable doing Trein I don't mind) where they help the reader who is a chaotic and giggly drunk? When they help her get into bed to lay down she tells them about how she loves them so muchhh

Trein might not be for me personally but I know there are plenty of people who he is for so I don’t mind. This looks so cute though so yay. Idk if you were including Sam since he isn’t technically a teacher but you are getting him anyway because I love him. 

Crowley

Since he is so gracious, he will help you back to bed after the staff party

You have been grabbing at his mask and hat the whole time mumbling incoherently and he is doing his best to ignore it, even more so to not actually hurt you on accident with his talons

When he finally gets you in your bed he is ready to leave you grab onto him

“Noooo, staaaay,” you whined out with a giggle. 

“Now Ms. L/N be reasonable here.” 

“Please! I wove you so much! Such a pretty bird man.” 

He’s stammering and sputtering as he is trying to wrap his mind around what you had said 

You passed out though before he could ask for further elaboration 

He definitely leaves anyway despite you asking and pries your hand off of his

Still you gave him a lot to think about what you could have possibly meant in your drunken stooper 

Trein 

He is way too old for this shit 

He is doing his best to ignore the way you mess with his hair or pull on his jacket, trying to focus instead on getting back to your room on campus 

As soon as he drops you on your bed he learns quickly as he is getting a glass of water and painkillers to set on your bedside that you will just not stay there even after he put you back multiple times

“What will it take for you to stay still?” He sighs exasperatedly as he sets your drink down as well as the pain killers for in the morning 

“A good night kiss,” you chirped cheerily with no hesitation 

He rolls his eyes and kisses your forehead making you whine in response

“Noooo, real kiss! Don’t you love me? I love you!” 

It takes a lot to get this old man flustered at this point in his life but you managed it

Before he could figure out what you meant you had passed out though

He will brush it off as drunken ramblings and beer goggles but a small part of him hopes that it isn’t the case 

Crewel 

“If you throw up on my fur coat or leather shoes there will be consequences puppy.” 

Has the least tolerance for your handsy and chaotic nature as he is walking you home

Has thought about more than once about just letting you pass out in a bush to learn your lesson, especially if you don’t stop touching his hair

Has the opposite problem as the other two, who fluster easily. Any compliment just goes over his head because he is used to them 

“Your so pretty, love you so much.” 

“I know I am, you don’t spend what I do on skincare and not.” 

It will get you to whine and groan in frustration that it “wasn’t what you meant” 

He  finds that part rather endearing as he finally sets you on your bed and tucks you in 

“Love you Crewel, love you so much,” you mumbled weakly again as you drifted off 

“Good pup,” Crewel finally mumbles as you finally doze off. He will stick around for a half-hour or so to make sure you didn’t get up again before taking his leave

You are going to have to compliment this man a lot more to get him to realize it wasn’t just drunkenness talking 

Vargas 

You won’t even get the chance to start in on the normal drunk wanderings and shenanigans before he just hoists you over his shoulder and carries you to your place 

Even as you keep touching his back trying to reach his ass, he keeps cool 

absolutely preens anytime you start mumbling about his muscles 

“If you train hard your muscles will look this good too,” he will say with a boisterous laugh

“Nooo, YOU look good with muscles. I don’t wann’em I wanna touch yours.” 

He laughs more and is mostly just glad you can’t see how flustered he is. He is an absolute idiot when it comes to compliments like this and has no idea how to react 

Practically throws you on your bed like you were a sack of potatoes and is ready to bolt out the door when you grab him

“Stay. Love you. Stay.” 

Face. Lobster. Red. 

Hasn’t really considered a relationship since getting rejected in school and has no idea what you are going on about

When you pass out finally he decides to get the answers in the morning. For now, he will move to your living room and crash on the couch. You will probably need some help in the morning anyway with how much you drank 

Sam

He has pretty much sacrificed his arm to your whims as you trace his tattoos and occasionally poke as his necklaces 

Finds the whole things more endearing than irritating as you grab his hat to try on without even asking first

If nothing else its blackmail for later 

“So much, Sam has everything! Sam is so cool!” 

“Aren’t you a sweet little demon like this?” 

Overall easily rangles you and gets you into bed easily (he does deal with the more rambunctious teens at the school on the regular anyway) 

“Love you Sam,” you finally say with a yawn as you are nodding off

He will laugh a little and not give it too much thought, he has seen some people say some crazy stuff when drunk

“Love you too little demon,” he replies not thinking much of it

“No, not love--LOVE. I Love You.” 

That one makes his heart beat a little faster but you have already passed out so he can’t press further

Still, he will most definitely tease you the next time he see you

[ Go to the garden ]

There’s no harm in trying, isn’t there?

Despite your self-doubts, you entered the garden anyway and inspected Lucifer’s hybrid flowers from afar. After straining your neck from staring while on your tiptoes, you realised your mistake and felt despondent.

‘Congratulations, me. You just wasted an hour of your life.’ You thought to yourself, shoulders slumping from fatigue. You were planning to make a detour at the hobby shop nearby to pick up some anime merch as a peace offering to your favourite demon otaku when a voice called your name.

“Solomon?”

The sorcerer smiled at you in greeting. “Hello there. What are you doing?”

When he started gazing at the bouquet that you were cradling in your arms, you suddenly felt self-conscious and hid it in your back. Unknowingly, (perhaps due to you being so lost in your thoughts since the discovery of your secret admirer), the letter in your backpack slipped from a half-open zipper and you internally cursed.

You cursed even more to yourself when Solomon picked it up for you.

“With Love?” he blinked, putting two and two together in his head before smiling at you knowingly once he realised the reason for your overreacting. “The flowers are quite lovely too. Why are you hiding it?”

Is everyone really out to get you right now? You couldn’t help but blush a deep red shade all over your face.

“Please don’t tease me. I didn’t ask for this to happen.”

“Sorry, haha. You just look so adorable when you’re flustered.”

“Spare me…”

Luckily, Solomon didn’t pursue the topic any further and only exchanged pleasantries with you. Hmm…now that you think about it…

“You look like you’re in a hurry.”

Solomon’s eyes widened for a bit before his expression returned into a relaxed smile.

“I’m meeting up with Asmodeus in the council room for the festival preparations.”

“It must be so hectic right now if a non-student council member is being requested there.”

He returned your statement with his own brand of jabs.

“And our dear exchange student representative seems so carefree~”

You pouted at him, puffing your cheeks. “For your information, I finished my work early!”

Solomon laughed. “I know, I know. You’re such a hard worker and you deserve to take it easy.”

Geez. If he’s going to tease you so relentlessly, he shouldn’t smile so innocently like that! It’s deceiving!

He excused himself and left. Your encounter with Solomon made you somehow feel doubtful. Even if he made it out as a joke, he looked quite tired and his smile was also strained. Was his magic needed for the festival or was it some other errand?

Lucifer assigned you with considerably light tasks compared to the others. Even Satan took his work home–that was actually why he was able to finish his work early.

Isn’t Lucifer quite suspicious? Did he deliberately give you light tasks in an attempt to distract you? He could have if he was the letter sender. But what would he gain from it?

“He couldn’t have sent me the letter if he’s occupied at his desk. Unless. …. .. !!!”

That’s right!

Why did it slip your mind? It isn’t about the quantity of your tasks, but the quality!

If you think about the kind of tasks he had assigned you during club hours, it all makes sense. Most of them required you to stay near the main gate for a relatively long time. While he was indeed busy during club hours, he was also with you on your trips to the main gate to sign some documents.

That means… .. .. . ..

.

He placed the letter(+gifts) in your locker on his trip back to the clubroom! And since you were busy with club activities at the opposite end of RAD, you couldn’t possibly run into him slipping it in your locker!

Saying that, it also meant that a certain Avatar of Lust wasn’t as “innocent” as you initially thought after all. Asmodeus knew where your locker was located, but you weren’t sure if he knows how often you check it. You shook off your doubts about the mismatched penmanship in your head. You needed to confirm something first.

What will you do?

Hey may i request hcs on how the dorms leaders would react if their crush/ s/o dissapeared?

They didn't go back to their world or anything, they just ran away during the night with Grim because they're so overworked with everything that has happened, thank you ♡♡

Dorm leaders reacting to their crush/ s/o suddenly disappearing

Note: GN(gender neutral) reader

Riddle Rosehearts

- Riddle looked everywhere for you. Around the botanical gardens, the library, everywhere. But he couldn’t seem to find you. Where had you gone? He couldn’t recall you saying you were going somewhere or if you had something planned that day, so he couldn’t have missed anything, could he?

- He paced back and forth in the heartslaybul garden, it’s been two hours since he last saw you, and now he’s wondering what happened to his dearest to have you disappear so suddenly. Was it him? Have you finally made your decision and returned back to your world?

- The thought made his heart sink. He knew that eventually he would have to let you go back to your own world, but he didn’t think it would be this soon, and this sudden. He didn’t even get to say a proper goodbye before his first and only love would leave him forever. He doesn’t want to feel alone again…

- Ignoring the dread and the tears that threatened to prick his face, he dashed to the one place he had yet to check, ramshackle. He opened the door without knocking and saw you, stressed out on the floor of ramshackle with grim laying on a bunch of paperwork. He looked around frantically at the scenery. Papers everywhere, calculators and stationaries sprawled near you, and there’s you, half asleep. He stopped to look at your half awake self “oh….all this time you were…”

- your ears suddenly perked up upon hearing your boyfriend come in the room “riddle!! Please help me out here, I’ve been studying for three hours straight and I…” you look towards the mess you’ve unintentionally made across the room “I may need some guidance”. Riddle huffed and came closer, sitting next to you while cleaning all the paperwork around the two of you “good grief, you really are a chaotic one…”

- you playfully laughed and gave him a quick peck on the cheek “but I’m your chaotic one right?” You could see his face quickly flush into a deep shade of red before he changed the subject and started tutoring you on the upcoming tests

Leona Kingscholar

- Leona was irritated, he was looking for his favorite pillow herbivore since you usually came around the botanical garden around this time.

- Pacing around the halls to your classroom, he didn’t see any traces of you. Surely you would be done with classes by now right? Every step he took where he couldn’t find you, the more irritated he got.

- How hard was it to find one single herbivore? Last he recalled you didn’t have anything hindering your plans with him, so why disappear now? You weren’t an important figure enough to get kidnapped, he already has his savanclaw students to protect you if need be, and you aren’t the type to suddenly disappear out of nowhere without at least informing him unless…

- His jaw clenched at the thought of you leaving him for good. He could admit that he had been an asshole to you at the start, and he isn’t exactly a Prince Charming, but he would sacrifice his pride and the entire world if it meant that you would stay with him for just a little longer.

- Eventually he found you exhausted in the library, with books next to your sleeping figure. You slept peacefully on top of a mock test paper and Leona had finally put two in two together to see that you’ve disappeared to study for a test.

- Leona sighed, ‘you sure know how to get a man worried, herbivore’ he though. Gently, he picked you up and carried you back to the botanical garden. He’s been missing out on your warmth this whole time and he sure as hell is going to make every moment you two share count, even if you two were asleep.

Azul Ashengrotto

- Azul fiddled with his paperwork, listening to the clock tick as he waited for you in his office. You two scheduled a little dinner date at the VIP room at monstro lounge to catch up since you two have been busy with studying for tests, but you seemed to be a little late…about an hour late…

- his thoughts swam in his head as he waited for you to arrive. This situation seemed a little fishy. You weren’t usually the type to flake out on a date, so this situation seemed out of the ordinary. He called Jade and Floyd in to his office, looking to find some answers.

- “ah well, shrimpy and the headmaster were talking about a portal this morning and-“ “PORTAL?!?!?”

- Floyd didn’t even finished his sentence before his boss ran off to find you. He looked at his brother with a confused look “should we tell him we found them sleeping in the library?” Jade chuckled “No, I have a better idea…”

- Azul rushed straight to the office, demanding answers from that Bird man. But when the headmaster’s office is empty, his heart finally sank. It was too late…He walked out of the office and slugged down the halls, planning on sulking in his octo pot for the remainder of the day and possibly year

- That is until he heard you call his name. “Azul! Hey!” You rushed towards your boyfriend with a grin on your face “I’m sorry I was late, I got caught up studying and I nearly lost track of time. I asked the twins if they knew where you were since you weren’t in your VIP room and they said you were going to the headmaster’s office, so here I am-“

- Your words got interrupted by a tight hug and a relieved sigh “oh.. oh angelfish…my sweet angelfish…”

Kalim Al-Asim

- Kalim was frantically running around the scarabia dorm, trying to look for you since you went missing a few hours ago. You two were planning on a study date with Jamil tutoring both of you on an upcoming alchemy test, he took one break away from the study lounge and when he came back you suddenly dissapeared!!!

- “what if they got kidnapped??! What if they’re holding them ransom??? What if-“ Jamil sighed “Kalim, calm down. I’m sure they’re fine, no one’s tried kidnapping you since your first year here, they’ll be fine- Kalim?” He turned away and bolted out the hallways, not sparing a moment’s notice until he’s sure that you’re safe “Kalim??? Kalim!!!!”

- Amidst the shoutings of his concerned friend, he looked around as many rooms as he could to find you. He stopped at one of the balconies and found you sitting near it, looking afar with a troubled face

- “ah, there you are!”

- you looked at the direction of where the noise came from and found your boyfriend, looking exhausted but happy. Kalim rushed towards you and gave you the biggest hug you’ve felt in ages “I thought you got kidnapped, and I looked everywhere, and Jamil looked everywhere, and I’m just so happy that you’re safe and I-“ you shut him up with a quick kiss, drying the tears that pricked his eyes while he spoke.

- “It’s okay, I’m here…”

Vil Schoenheit

- Vil watched closely outside the balcony of the pomefiore dorm, eyeing each student for any sign of you near the entrance of the dorm. You were late.

- You promised to meet him so you two could have a day off full of nothing but pampering, it was a stressful week for the both of you since exams are coming up, and now that the first batch is done he finally had time to relax. But he wondered, what was the reason of his sweet potato’s absence? You were occasionally late due to dealing with that troublesome heartslaybul duo, but two hours? He could feel that something was off.

- “Rook, find my dearest sweet potato and tell me as soon as possible about their whereabouts. I fear the worst might’ve happen to them.” Rook’s smile never faltered but he could sense that something did happen “Ah, but I’m afraid that something might have happened, Roi de Poison, for I have recalled a conversation with them and the headmaster about that portal“

- Vil’s eyes widened. “I see.” He wastes no time and runs as gracefully as possible to the headmaster’s office. He wants answers. Secretly, Vil feared that he would lose you for good without even saying a proper goodbye before you left. If that was the case, that bird man would have hell to pay. He wasn’t going to get ripped of a happy ending just yet.

- But on the way he accidentally bumped into someone and…”Ah! Vil!” You quickly got up and greeted your queen sheepishly “I’m really sorry that I was late! I was a little overworked for the past few days and I just…needed some time to cool off alone…”

- Vil tried his absolute best to keep his composure as he gave you a gentle hug “you scared me there, potato. Now, no more delays, let’s get those aches of yours taken care of.”

Idia Shroud

- Idia frantically flicked through the cameras of NRC, trying to spot you among the sea of footage in front of him. He hasn’t seen you this morning, nor has he seen you tonight, which worried him since you two promised on a game night with a new multiplayer rpg game. Ortho has been looking all over for you that day, but he couldn’t find any traces of you, which made idia worry.

- “come on, come on…where are you….” He was starting to get anxious, millions of possibilities danced around his mind, making the situation all the more tense. He’s now only awaiting ortho’s next report.

- Sitting in the silence of his room, he had wondered why you’ve been so distant lately. Did he do something wrong? Has his loser otaku behavior really caught up with him? Did…did the portal finally get fixed?

- Ortho opened the door to his room “Brother, I’ve successfully brought them back here! It took awhile since I found them tired and half asleep, but rest assured they are safe and sound”

- You flashed him a weak smile as you entered the room, plopping in his arms as you lay your head on his shoulder “sorry I hadn’t told you today, I was really burnt out with the work I got for the past week and I needed some time to recuperate…are we still on that game night though?”

- Idia’s face and hair flushed a beautiful shade of pink “y-you really scared me there..player two…b-but I’m glad you’re safe hehe….”

Malleus Draconia

- Malleus looked around the outside of ramshackle, looking for his beloved child of man for your usual nightly outing. But you weren’t there, how curious…

- You didn’t inform him that you were going to do anything special today, and he certainly hadn’t heard the usual noise from the house to indicate that you were there. He looked around to the windows of your room, and you…you weren’t there…Instead the room was considerably messy, and to him it looked like a struggle occurred. This isn’t good.

- He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, that something or someone stole you away from him. The thought made his heart ache and anger rise. Did some ‘prince charming’ try to steal you away from him? Did the portal finally open and you were taken away? Have you already left without telling him?? He can feel his heart go heavy as the sky slowly turned dark with rain.

- Looking around the empty campus halls, he desperately tried to find any traces of you. He saw a faint light coming from one of the rooms, the library, and he quickly bolted to that direction. There he saw your sleeping form, with books laid across the table.

- ah…you were asleep…

- he’s relieved that you are safe and sound, and he slowly cradled your sleeping form, making sure that peaceful slumber of yours did not get interrupted. I suppose him carrying you across the campus and back to your room didn’t feel as romantic, but malleus truly felt like the Prince Charming in the many fairy tails, carrying their dearest back to a safe place. Don’t be surprised when you find a sleeping dragon fae next to you when you wake up ;)

PSISLY: An Obey Me!CYOA -- one🔖

💌 [ Answer it quickly. ]

“Hey, what’s taking you so long?” Levi cried angrily on the other line. You couldn’t blame him, really. You had been taking a while.

“Wanna hear something weird?” you asked.

“Hah? You have time to chat like this? Is my life-or-death situation so trivial to you? Are you really my friend?!”

“Sorry, sorry. I’m running as we speak! Anyway-”

“KEEP RUNNING!!!!! NO TALKING! THE THEME CAFE WILL CLOSE SOON!” *dial tone*

Okay! Geez. What got his panties in a twist? You know Ruri-chan’s Super Limited Edition LOVE LOVE❤️Pop-up Cafe means the world to him, but he didn’t need to shout on your ear like that!

That’s like…the thing that makes you hear things! . . .. . Gosh this day had been a ride so far. Even your brain is short circuiting. By the time you met up with Leviathan, you were panting really hard and beads of sweat were accumulating on your face. Even so, your otaku friend didn’t hesitate to pull your arm and make you run a few more miles. You managed to secure the final seat in the cafe before closing time, but at what cost?

“My lungs…are on fire…” you complained in between your breaths, which all fell on deaf ears as Levi started taking pictures of the cafe like a madman. He also ordered all the drinks and merchandise left (otakus are a scary bunch.)

“Oi, don’t drink that! I haven’t snapped a shot yet!” he glared at you as you placed the KYUN KYUN ❤️RURURURIN POMPOM FRUIT JUICE near your lips. Snatching it away from your “grubby hands”, he handed you a lukewarm and half-drunk water bottle which you begrudgingly started drinking as you realised this was the best he could offer. Your throat was parched, you felt like you ran a marathon, and this nerd didn’t even budge and feel sorry for you. You glared at him back.

“Really? I’m dying here and this is all you’d get me? What’s all this food for, aesthetic?”

“Oi, you said you didn’t mind when you agreed to come here with me! And you’d get to eat them all anyway once I tweet about it, so no complaining!”

You couldn’t help but sigh. “Fine, snap all the pictures you want. I guess I won’t tell you about the love letter I received today.”

You saw his posture tense for a moment. “Love letter you say?”

You nodded and showed the perfumed envelope to him. “Mhm, from a secret admirer. Someone left this in my locker.”

Huh weird. What’s with that reaction? Why didn’t he seem surprised?

“So that idiot actually sent it…”

“Sorry, what? The music’s too loud.”

Levi shook his head. “Nah, nevermind. Uwah, what’s with these words? It’s so disgusting. Do normies flirt like this?”

“HEY! I DIDN’T SAY YOU COULD READ IT!”

Your attempts to retrieve the letter had been futile, as the Demon otaku used his height as a leverage against you. There was a disgusted look on his face when he returned the letter to you. “I don’t understand. Is this actually a form of torture? Are you sure the person who sent this to you is right in the head?”

You pouted at him. “I thought it was really sweet!”

“I could write better.” he rolled his eyes and sipped on his pompom juice, annoyed.

“So what are you gonna do? Are you gonna date this guy?”

D-date?!

You haven’t thought that far! But that is a huge possibility, isn’t it?

“But…I barely know them. Isn’t it going too fast?” you stuttered, feeling a blush creeping up your cheeks. To distract yourself from your embarrassment, you decided to change the topic.

“O-oh yeah! They also sent me cookies!” You showed him the tin of cookies which were still warm. “Isn’t that really thoughtful of them?”

Levi inspected the tin and frowned even further. As you have said, the cookies were indeed still warm. “Eeeeh. Isn’t that kinda creepy? Don’t you just check your locker once every few months?”

He’s got a point. That was why you suspected Lucifer in the first place. Only a few people knew about your locker routine and he was one of the very few who do. “I’m figuring out who it is actually, based on that. It couldn’t be you, right?”

You were just teasing him so you didn’t expect him to react in such a flustered manner. His face was red like Lucifer’s hybrid roses and he looked at you as if he’d seen a ghost. “W-wh-what makes you think it was me?!”

Cute~ But he might explode if you teased him any further so you dialled it down.

“Relax, I was just teasing you. I know it isn’t you.”

The annoyed look on his face was understandable. Your guilty conscience however, was asleep so you only giggled when he glared at you.

“You were with me all day. You couldn’t have any time to sneak the letter in anyway. Besides, I think they snuck it in after classes were dismissed, so the culprit most likely either had club activities or had something to do after school hours.”

Levi raised an eyebrow. “Doesn’t make sense to me.”

“I thought you’d say that. Hehe. Look here.” you showed him a map of RAD and calmly explained, “My locker is located on the path leading towards the club rooms and the lower floor portion of the school library. The school’s main gate is on the other side of the way, and no one really uses the back gate save for the school staff right?”

Levi didn’t look convinced. “You do know there’s a shortcut in the gardens right? It could be anyone if they took that path– . . . !!”

“Figured it out, didn’t you? As expected of you, Dr. Watson!”

“Dr. Who?”

“Not Dr. Who! Dr. Watson! As in Elementary, my Dear Levia–”

“I get it, I get it! But why am I the sidekick?”

That’s what he’s mad about?!

You ignored his complaints and continued explaining.

“The garden is currently closed for the festival preparations. Only student council members are allowed access to the shortcut. That still narrows it down, don’t you think?”

Levi agreed and added, “Oh! I see. You went to your locker as soon as I finished my game. If the culprit doesn’t have club activities or didn’t have business in the library, it would only be possible for them to come from the main gate and take a shortcut if they’re a student council member or a staff.”

Your conversation ended prematurely when a staff member politely informed you that the pop-up cafe will be closing in 15 minutes. You continued your conversation with Levi on the way home, exchanging theories and assumptions even as you got back to the House of Lamentation.

It was inevitable that your constant arguments and bantering got the attention of the twins who happened to overhear, so before both of you knew what was happening, you and Levi were dragged to the attic, being demanded for answers.

“These cookies…can I really eat them?”

You nodded at Beel, whose eyes practically sparkled when you showed him the tin’s contents. The cookies have now gotten cold, but they still looked absolutely delicious.

Belphegor eyed both of you blankly as he buried his face in one of the nearby pillows. His inquiry sounded muffled as the pillow obstructed his speech. “So you got a love letter AND these cookies?”

Why did it feel like a police investigation?

“Y-yes?”

“Cheater. Unfair. Unfaithful. Have your feelings for me been a lie?”

“Excuse me?”

Belphie rolled his eyes and popped a cookie in his mouth. “You’re really popular today, you know. Barbatos was looking for you earlier.”

Levi tilted his head at you and smiled knowingly. Your silent exchange once again didn’t escape notice. Belphie grimaced.

“So Barbatos sent the love letter?”

You shrugged. “He’s really suspicious, yeah. The cookies seemed like something he gave me this morning, but I’m not sure.”

“Tch. I don’t want these anymore then.” Belphie threw the cookie away, only for Beel’s mouth to catch it mid-air. If he didn’t look so annoyed, you would have clapped your hands.

“Isn’t that perfect timing? He’s looking for you so you can just go and ask him about it.” so he says, but his words oozed with sarcasm. You held back your annoyance as well since you didn’t really understand what warranted you this…rude behaviour. You do know Levi looked like he just wanted to get out of here so you held back again for his sake. You couldn’t help but sigh.

Meeting with Barbatos seemed like the right choice. However, the idea of meeting him alone made you nervous. What if it was really him who sent the letter? You were 90% sure he baked those cookies, so wouldn’t it be a logical assumption if he wrote the letter as well?

You…never saw him in a romantic light. Rather, you crossed him out of your list as soon as you realised how unreachable he was. But now…that the idea that perhaps he wasn’t as unreachable as you thought made you…conflicted. This is all too soon and it didn’t make any sense. What if you just make a fool of yourself if you ask him directly? Wouldn’t it be too presumptuous? Conceited? What if he rejects you outright? No, that couldn’t be right. He was the one who confessed, right? No, what if it wasn’t him?

What should you do?
