Chapter Text
To see Kalim Al-Asim in baggy clothing during school hours is not uncommon seeing as Scarabia is known for wearing multiple layers no matter the weather.
What was uncommon was the fact that Kalim was wearing a light blue basketball jersey.
Now, people could of course argue that the jersey belonged to Jamil, someone Kalim could consider to be his close friend but the jersey is blue and Scarabia’s colors are dark red.
So naturally, curiosity swept Heartslabyul on the mysterious jersey Kalim Al-Asim wore.
——————| < ——— > |——————
It was a Wednesday morning just like any other, Heartslabyul students exchanging gossip, Rumors being exchanged by Octavinelle students and of course Scarabia students in more layers than they should be in.
That included their ever cheerful housewarden who greeted everyone with a bright smile as usual even when getting confused stares back from them.
Kalim Al-Asim was wearing a blue basketball jersey which, by closer inspection it was most definitely bigger than him as he continued walking through campus, waving at people like nothing was any different.
Heartslabyul students being, well.. Heartslabyul students took to speculating as a collective.
“Is there something we’re missing out on here?”
“Housewarden Riddle was wearing someone’s hoodie too..”
”It might be a trend..?”
A silence fell as one of them took out their phone and started typing, “I found it.” They showed their phone screen to the rest of the students.
Scrolling through the videos there was a plethora of people wearing their partner’s clothing.
”But wouldn’t that imply that the housewarden is dating housewarden Kalim?” One of them inquired
“Yeah, we did find out the hoodie was his..”
”but then who’s jersey is that?” One of them pointed to Kalim.
“Definitely a basketball jersey, the Housewarden doesn’t do basketball though..”
”even if they did, that jersey’s big enough to hang off of housewarden Kalim so it wouldn’t fit them either..”
The silence of the students was an odd thing for anyone passing by to witness as they’re always talking.
”We.. could ask the housewarden..?”
”We.. could..”
”But we risk losing our heads..”
The plot simply thickens for the Heartslabyul students at the decision but their need to have this mystery solved overweights their fears.
”We should do it..”
”Yeah alright..”
”Or..” One of the voice spoke up, “There’s basketball training today…We could keep watching him and if we don’t find anything we’ll ask.”
——————| < ——— > |——————
Truly nothing would pass the Heartslabyul students eyes that day, they kept close watch on Kalim but not close enough it could be a concern or stalking in any way.
Eventually the end of the school day came, students walked together and made plans with each other as classes ended and the hallways started crowding.
”So..?”
”Nothing here..”
“Nothing on our side too”
”We might end up asking..”
”Let’s just keep hopeful!”
Of course it would raise massive suspicion if all Heartslabyul students made their way to the Gym so only a group of 3 and the basketball members went.
The group of 3 went in on the guise of coming to support their fellow dorm mates during training, taking in the sight of the gym they caught sight of Kalim entering the gym doors and Riddle coming in with him.
“So they are dating..?”
”Looks like it..”
”They could just be here as friends?”
The group continued to watch the from the sides of their eyes, they watched as not even before they were near the gym stands a tall figure sprinted towards them and picked them up.
”Is that?!”
”Looks like it..”
”The housewarden’s gonna blow his top..”
The watched as Floyd swung the two of them around, Kalim with a big smile on his face and Riddle with a flustered expression on their face.
They watch as he placed the two of them down, Riddle dusting himself off as Kalim took off the jersey and handed it to Floyd.
”So what does this mean??”
”I’m so confused..”
Floyd seemed and looked forced as he put on the hoodie but Riddle ushered him to bend down and placed a kiss on his cheek which also prompted Kalim to do the same.
All Heartslabyul students there to get to the bottom of their self proclaimed mystery, basketball club or not, were stunned and stared at each other in utter shock.
They watched frozen as Floyd’s face lit up and he ran back to the court with a smile on his face as Kalim and Riddle walked over to the stands.
The rest of the practice was tuned out almost entirely by the Heartslabyul spies present. At the end of practice they exited the gym first before anybody else.
when they had arrived at the dorm they were bombarded by their fellow Heartslabyul students.
“So? Did you find anything out?”
”Will we have to ask the housewarden?”
”Will we get an ending to this mystery gossip story?”
“Sit down.” One of the Heartslabyul students managed to spit out, causing all the students to gather at the lounge to find a place to sit.
”The housewarden might be dating housewarden Kalim and Floyd leech..”
A deafening silence filled the lounge as the stunned feeling spread through the entire dorm.
The Heartslabyul spies recounted the events of the gym with extreme detail, the volume of the dorm increased greatly.
This was enough gossip to last Heartslabyul for weeks but they all of course knew better than to spread gossip about their dorm queen especially when they hadn’t been told by them.
But on that note, Heartslabyul is a community so why hadn’t they been told? It truly didn’t matter, the emotions and shock of the day had flattened them.
They could ask some other time or just wait for Riddle to tell them. Whenever that will be.
