Chapter Text
When Yuu was unexpectedly thrust into this bizarre new world, they didn’t have much on them. All of their important possessions were left behind. The only things that made the journey over with them, were the clothes on their back, and a few stray objects from their pockets.
They were typical, everyday items, such as a handful of loose change and some crumpled candy wrappers.
The only mildly interesting thing they had brought along with them, was a small laser pointer. It wasn’t anything remarkable, just a tiny, battery powered cylinder attached to a keychain. It was nothing that would help them return home, so it was quickly put aside and forgotten about.
Weeks later, Yuu and Grim sat bored one evening after a long day of Night Raven’s familiar hijinks. The prefect gazed up at the yellowing ceiling, contemplating their very existence, while their furry companion searched the room for something to do.
“Hey Yuu, what’s this thing?”
Grim held up the metal tube, testing each button with his paws.
“It’s just my old laser pointer,” they said, holding out a hand. “Here, let me show you how it works.”
They shone the small beam, and a tiny red dot stood out against the aged wallpaper.
“Pretty cool, right?” Yuu asks, turning to face their dormate.
“…”
But Grim didn’t respond. Instead he stared intensely at the dot, his pupils dilating twice their original size. He crouched down on all fours, steadying himself into striking position.
Oh my god, the prefect thought to themselves, He really is just an angry, flaming cat!
Quickly, Grim pounced, throwing his entire body at the wall. Yuu watched as he desperately tried to corner the elusive dot, with each failure doing nothing but grow his determination.
This went on for several more giggle filled minutes, before the prefect finally turned off the beam. Slowly, Grim came back to his senses.
“What was that?!” He asked, still a little disoriented.
“Maybe we should be done with this for now,” they chuckled, moving to put away the small key chain.
“Wait!” He cried, “Turn it back on!”
Yuu paused.
“Hmm? You want it back on?”
The little monster smirked as he put a paw to his chest.
“The Great Grim won’t be bested by some stupid light,” he boasted, “Turn it back on, sidekick!”
The prefect suppressed a giggle, flicking the beam back to on.
“Alright, if you insist…”
…
If a tall, horned fae happened to be wandering around Ramshackle’s courtyard that night, he might have heard various noises coming from inside the building.
Such noises might include several loud crashes, followed by uncontrollable laughter.
He might have also decided, that it was none of his business, and continued on his stroll around the school.
