Work Text:
Musa was frenetic, the exams were kicking her ass and she hadn't left her suite in days, just like the rest of the students.
When Rosalind took control of the school not just the training got harder, but the classes too, so they were studying day and night, she was exhausted, running on almost no hours of sleep and more coffee than blood in her body
"We already had the poisons exam right?" Aisha asked from her room confused, her hair was a mess, her clothes were already two days old and her bed was covered in papers
"Yes, tomorrow is history of magic, then runes, and the day after herbology" Terra responded like she was in autopilot
"Thanks god Bloom and I've been studying for history of magic for weeks" Musa breathed in relief "and then her-...wait, where's my herbology book?"
Everyone looked around the living room but none of them found it, Musa started to panic and rushed to her room, turning the whole place upsidedown
The book wasn't there
"Where's the last place you remember having it?" Stella tried to help her, casually coming out ff her room in pajamas, something she almost never did, but at this point she had no strength left to dress just for their livingroom
"We all had lunch together and then Bloom said....shit" the realization hit her and she slammed her hand on her face like a crazy person
"The guards are not letting you in..." the fire fairy shaked her head as she flipped the pages of her book half absent from the conversation
Since Rosalind took control of the school she brought guards to keep an eye on every corner of the place, they were being watched and controlled 24/7, if you stepped a foot outside your suite after curfew without a good explanation you could be send to detention for a week
Which honestly wasn't any different to how they were right now, but better study with her friends around than be let alone in a classroom for endless hours
----------------
"Let me pass!" the mind fairy yelled at the guard in front of the hallway who was restraining her from going in, so furious she was at the verge of punching him on the face for blocking her way
"you're not allow to go in this area" the guard repeated and Musa swore she was going to loose her shit on him "and if you don't go back to your room right now I will send you with the headmistress"
"I just need my fucking book! You can go with me if you want to, but let me go grab it! It will literally be a minute" she yelled again in frustration, her hands moving as franatically as she felt
The guy was like a hard wall in front of her desperate self, that was it, all that hard work for nothing, she was gonna fail the exam and be punished by the headmistress with god knows what horrible thing the woman could come up with, she did not tolerate failures and she definitely did not tolerate laziness
"What's going on here?" a deep, serious voice said from behind her
Musa turns around and locks eyes with the specialist, her arms crossed over her chest making her look as small as she was feeling
"This asshole is not letting me go into the room to get my book, I need it right now or I will fail my next exam, I had all my notes in there" she responds pissed
Riven's eyes switched between her and the guard standing right at the beginning of the corridor for a few seconds, before he looked at her with a smile
"Go get you book, we will be waiting here" the specialist nods
Musa relaxes and turns around, sending a deadly look to the guard before waking pass him
The guards were here because Rosalind brought them, but the specialists were the ones in charge, I mean, Rosalind wanted her little buddies with 0 training or experience on how to treat young students to act like security cameras? Fine, but the specialist were going to supervise them, Andreas made sure of that
And its not like the specialists were Andreas little puppies and they were going to do whatever the man said, no, everyone hated him more than what they feared him, but if they could get a little bit of power over their school because of him, then they were gonna take it
Once she's out of their sight, Riven smiles at the guard and takes three steps towards him
His hands grab the collar of the guy's perfectly ironed shirt and the man frozes
"Tell me, Julien, do you know who she is?" he asks, pretending to fix the collar of the man's shirt and carrying a smile Julien has never seen in him, one that terrifies him
"No-No, sir" Julien responds unsure
"You know how none of you can touch, or even look at the fire fairy, the redhead?" he asks now
"Bloom, yes" the guard nods
"And you know why is that?" He continues his questions
"Because she's specialist Sky's girlfriend, so she doesn't need to be watched or restrained from any areas"
"Exactly, Julien, now, that little fairy that you just simply weren't allowing to go find her silly little book? That's my girl" Riven said in a deadly tone
"Sir I'm sorry I didn't knew..." Julien's face went pale and the poor man forgot how to breath
"Don't worry, you can not know, its fine" he smiled cinical, before leaning to the guys ear and whispering his next words "but if I ever see you, or any of your buddies, telling her she can't do something, or she can't go somewhere, I'm gonna make sure you wake up in the middle of the forest, completely surrounded by burned ones, no weapons, no back up, no way to ask for help, just you and the very, very hungry burned ones, you got me?" the guy nodds scared "So, if she wants to walk around in the middle of the night, stay in the library after curfew, or even go to the cafeteria for fucking ice cream ar 4 am, she will do it, and no one will say a thing, understood?"
"Yes sir, absolutely, it won't happen again" Julien swallowed hard as Riven let his shirt go
"I found it!" Musa announces happy as she comes back from the end of the corridor with her book in hand
"Awesome love, now, I believe Julien here wanted to tell you something, isn't it right Juls?" Riven smiles at her and then looks at the guard
"Y- yes, I'm sorry for not letting you go in milady, it won't happen again" the guy breathed out, unable to contain his fear, and even if she wasn't a mind fairy she would've seen it in his eyes
"Don't worry" she smiled genuine, not wanting to make worse whatever Riven said to him
"Perfect, now, let me walk you back to your room gorgeous, its getting late" the specialist pointed to the hallway and started walking after her
"Riven, what did you said to him?" the mind fairy looked at him squinting her eyes as they walked to the opposite hallway
"Nothing love, I just let him know you could go wherever you wanted" he smiled innocent
"So you threatened him" she corrects
"I did not do such a thing" the specialist shakes his head
"Yeah right, like I'm not a mind fairy, I could literally feel the fear in him all the way from your room, he was terrified" she points to the other end of the hallway, even though they were already far away from the guard
"He was doing something wrong and I corrected him, like any good specialist would" Riven smiled again, his 'Innocence' wouldn't fool her for a second
"I would fight you for this, but if I can walk around freely without guards on my back every step I make, then I take it" she smiled at him "thank you"
Reaching her door, Musa turned around and kissed him softly, making him smile and brush her hair away from her face
"Now, I have to go study, see you at breakfast?" she asks smiling widely
Sometimes she looked at him and saw how lucky she was of being loved the way he loved her, of being loved by him, and that made every little thing he did to bother her go away as fast as it came, like threatening people to protect her, even if she didn't need to be protected
"Of course beautiful, don't stay up too late" he kissed her hair before walking away
'Don't stay up too late' in their world meant that she was, in fact, going to stay up studying endless hours, and 'breakfast' was when he would be the perfect boyfriend he always was and bring her coffee to her room the next morning, after she inevitable fell asleep of exhaustion and skipped breakfast with their friends
Maybe having a really scary boyfriend, who just happened to be a big specialist had its benefits
