Work Text:
To say you were pissed off was an understatement. You were absolutely livid!
It had been a few months since you had "Saved" the world from the devil's undoing and along with that you had unchained the Courtiers.
The only thing you asked of as the "World Savior" was to allow ALL the courtiers a chance to make up for all their wrong doings, including Lucio. After all..we all make mistakes, right? To your surprise, Nadia abliged.
And here you were, Nadia had decided to have a get together party with everyone, including the newly reinstated courtiers who had surprisingly agreed to attend, even Valdemar came.
So here you were sitting in a lush chair with your third drink in hand, or was it your fifth?? Well, who cares anyway. You had lost count and had started downing them with a glare.
Asra noticed your state and walked over. " Hey, Y/n are you alright?"
You look up to asra with a smile " Whatever do you mean, Asra?" Downing the last of your drink, you sat it down. Glancing back toward the person you were previously shooting daggers at.
Following your line of vision asra saw you looking in the direction of Vulgora and what appeared to be a new servant whom was currently throwing themselves on Vulgora and feeling up their arm muscles.
Asra smirked while nudging you with a chuckle. "Is someone jealous, right now?"
Realization dawning on you that you're giving yourself away. You absent-mindedly shout "No I am not!"
Suddenly everyone turns to look in your direction including Vulgora.
Cursing underneath your breath you raise your hands waving them "n-nothing to see here! Hehe." You turned away towards asra who was wiping tears from his eyes from trying to contain his laughter from that whole show of yours.
Playfully punching Asra's shoulder. "Are you trying to kill me from embarrassment?!?"
"I was only kidding y/n." Suddenly asra took on mock surprise lifting his hand to his chest in exasperation. "And to think, my dear lil n/n has a crush on one of the courtiers!"
You quickly clapped your hand over Asra's mouth. "Honestly, I think you've had more to drink than i...though by the looks of it, I can see most of us have by now."
You took a glance around the room. Volta sitting with Muriel trying to feed him a small sandwich while stuffing one into her own mouth, honestly ever since they got together, it has been the cutest couple ever.
Now that you were actually taking everything in, almost EVERYONE was a couple here!!!
Lucio was currently sitting in Valerius's lap trying to drunkenly drink the last of his wine from his own glass.
Nadia and Portia were currently enjoying themselves and laughing at the scene Lucio created.
Hell, Valdemar even has someone..well, it's a cat. But They're just awesome like that! Looking over to Valdemar who was sitting over in a corner enjoying some wine whilst petting said cat. They gave a small nod and you waved to them.
Julian was already dramatically dancing around with a bitters in hand, and he's been with Asra since before the devil tried to take over.
*Woah- woah-woah...am I the ONLY person that's not taken?!?*
Then your eyes locked with a certain golden ones. Vulgora was looking your way and all you could do was stare back. Vulgora smirked and you blushed turning around.
Quickly taking up a glass of champagne from a tray as a server walked by and downed the whole thing.
By now your body started to feel warm and fuzzy from the drinks.
Sighing *You'd think the person that just saved the world could actually have enough courage to smile back*
"Asra, I'm the party's third wheel." You groaned.
Vulgora's POV ~
*The hell am I even doing here, I could be out sparing!!*
I rolled my eyes, I was already annoyed by the earlier incident because Vlastomil decided he'd go ahead and bring his worms anyway, after being told not to.
*The damned thing gets sick and decide to vomit on me!!! Of all the places!!! What the actual fuck!?... He is lucky Countess took care of my clothes or he'd be Dead!* I huffed out loud whilst thinking to myself and grumbling
Suddenly some woman came up to me touching on me telling me how strong I must be. Obviously I am, but this is unwanted.
"Oh my, you're the Pontifex aren't you! You're so cool. I'm new here, maybe you could show me around sometime?" The woman pressed herself closer to my arm suggestively.
*What. The. Fuck. Is. She. On?* I looked at her as if she'd grown seven heads and pushed her off my arm. "I'm busy."
"No I am not!"
I look across the room to see y/n frantically looking around waving like some cute lunatic saying "n-nothing to see here!" with asra...
"Oh course she's with Asra.." I grumbled, rolling my eyes.
The obnoxious woman rubbed her hand up my arm again.
" Who? Her?" She sneered. "I'm far better than that thing over there."
I looked her in the eyes seething. "I'm only going to tell you once, if you don't leave right now. I am going to smash your puny skull into dust you distasteful little fucking troll!" I whispered yelled into her face.
For a second it took her a moment to register with her mouth hanging open before shutting it quickly and turning on heel and leaving the room all together.
Smiling at my victory, I look back over towards y/n. We then lock eyes and I can't help but feel triumphed. *Tonight might be good after all*
End Vulgora's POV
Julian's POV
I've been blissfully dancing around like some drunken fool. The only thing better? A partner. So I search around for asra.
Asra is laughing with y/n, or is that at? Oh? Asra makes eye contact with me *I know that look, he's up to something.* So I gradually make my way over.
END Julian's POV
Your POV
"Who's a wheel?" Julian asked confused as he awkwardly leaned against Asra with his arms around him and chin rested in white fluff.
"Y/n was just saying how we should all play a game of truth or dare." Asra said with a devious glint to his eyes.
Swaying slightly you grabbed the nearest object to keep from falling over. Altogether missing the part where asra was whispering something to Julian. "What!? I didn't even... actually that sounds fun.."
Julian claps "Right it's settled, everyone let's play truth or dare.. truth or dare with drinks!!"
(Le time skip )
And so you were all sitting around in a circle, taking turns on truth or dare or drinking. Muriel being currently drunk because he wasn't having any of it.
It was currently Asra's turn who looked toward Julian and winked. *Uh, I'm getting a bad feeling about this*
"Y/n truth or dare?"
*Shit-shit-shit what do I choose, what's up his sleeve.. don't let me die of embarrassment* taking gulp of bitters.
"I choose Truth!" You stuck your tongue out at asra. *Can't be as bad as a dare*
"Hmmm, what should I ask." Asra pretend to give serious thought on the matter.
"Would you just say it already before I die of boredom." Groaned Vulgora who sat across from you. And you couldn't stop glancing up at him.
"Okay, okay.. y/n do you..have a crush on someone in this room?"
You immediately choked on the drink you were mid way into gulping down. Taking a second to recover, you gave asra a wtf face.
With your face feeling beet red you replied " Well, you see.. I guess.. I could say that..I..y-yes I do." *Kill me please, may the arcana take me away from here*
Volta clapped her little hands as she sat in Muriel's lap "oh Volta would very much like to know who y/n is in love with!! This is such fun."
Lucio was drunkenly feeding grapes to Valerius who was laying in his lap. "It's obviously me, right y/n?"
Nadia lazily lounging across a sofa with Portia sitting below her, running her fingers through her fiery hair. "Come now, Lucio.. y/n has better taste then that." Portia giggled at that as Lucio just pouted.
Vulgora let out a bark of laughter "Well this is getting good, let's continue!!" Making you quirk an eyebrow.
*Paybacks a bitch* "Julian truth or dare?"
Julian said truth just as quick as you'd asked. You smirk devilishly.
"Is it true that you and Asra had a little TOO much fun in Nadia's library the other day?" You ask whilst hinting at something a little more risque.
Julian begun sweating bullets as his entire face turned red and the tips of aras ears started heating up. "I-I..." Julian was at a loss for words.
Portia snorted "I think you broke Ilya, y/n!"
Asra turned towards you sitting beside him as Julian hid his face in his hands. "How would you even know that?"
"I have my ways.." you said shrugging nonchalantly. As you gave a small smile towards Valdemar when no one was looking.
Finally speaking up Julian asked "Does no one get privacy around here!?!" As he threw his hands up into the air and dramatically fell back onto the floor from where he sat.
"Did you really think there was privacy in a palace, let alone in a library that's open to others?" You could hear the literal eye rolls from Valerius.
Grinning ear to ear you felt like you had won this round. " Well, I'll take that as a yes, Jules."
"A win for the team!" Declared Vulgora.
You looked over at them smirking at you and looked away blushing.
"Why weren't I told there were teams?!?" Lucio whined as Valerius shoved some grapes into his mouth. "Because there isn't, obviously."
"No!" Julian yelled drunkenly at the top of his lungs as he shot up, causing you to startle. Falling over you missed catching yourself and fell forward face first into Vulgora's lap.
* That's it, I'm done aliving for forever. Good bye cruel world *
You pushed yourself up to your elbows and dared to look up at Vulgora. Who was Smirking down at you. Placing their gauntlet hands carefully on your shoulders to help you up but not before loudly declaring.
"Look at you falling for me, Y/n!"
If it hadn't been for them holding you up, you'd had fallen face first back into their lap. You just stared at Vulgora at a lost for words.
" I-I ..y..ye..um."
Asra was in the background having a giggling fit as Julian piped up. "Truth or dare, y/n!?"
"What??.." You were brought from your daze and about to answer until Vulgora spoke up.
"No, I will do the asking!" Vulgora proclaimed as they let go of your shoulders, leaving you at arms link in front of them.
"Alright." Julian slumped down onto Asra's lap.
Looking into your eyes, Vulgora inhaled. Everyone got quite zeroing in on the scene before them.
"Kiss me you coward!"
Asra burst into fits of giggles again, along with Julian. As Valerius face palmed. "Well, that is one way to go about it." Said Nadia.
Portia pointed at you. "And it now appears that Y/n has broken."
You shook yourself from your daze "A coward!?" Grabbing Vulgora by the front of their shirt.
"I saved all of Vesuvia! I, am no coward." You tried your best for a split drunken second to look menacing before smashing your lips to an almost surprised Vulgora. Who immediately returned the kiss, Carefully wrapping their arms around you and pulling you in closer.
The end~
