Work Text:
Out of all 3rd years that could possibly catch feelings of lonley prince Leona Kingscholar it ended up being supermodel, actor, known as fariest of them all, Vil Schoenheit.
Same thing is happening to young model who seem to find lion prince eye catching even admitting multiple times how handsome he finds him.
But both being really stubborn especially confidering their current thought at each other, neither wants to admit those feelings nor to their friends nor themsleves alone...
...
"It was Vil again, isn't it?" said Ruggie as he and Leona were sitting in botanical garden. Lion seemed to be moody.
"Can't he just mind his own Business. Like why the hell would he care so much weather i have loose button"
Ruggie just smirked.
"What's on your mind if I may ask"
"N-Nothing, I remembered something from awhile" hyena just looked away nervously hoping his friend will change subject.
"Ruggie....." Leona said in a bit demanding tone. Younger just sighed in defeat and shrugged.
"Should I tell you? You'll probably just laugh" he asked sincerly
"Well i do need some cheering up so spit out" prince said his tone angrier than before.
Ruggie inhaled and exhaled
"Alright. Well it seems like..." he hesitated a bit "... that he kinda cares about you? " shrugged again ignoring eye contact.
First there was silence and then:
just as Ruggie expected Leona brusted out laughing as if that one time Malleus tripped on field. Younger just sat there for a minute while he laughed.
"Nah i told you it's stupid"
"Ahhh, Great 7... " he paused wiping his tears "Just where the hell did that ridiculous idea come from?"
Ruggie sighed again but started speaking anyway
"Well i told Epel the other day about your situation... " he paused.
"... and he said how Vil just wants best for people. You know, he wants them to be their full Potential and he hates it when they don't do that when they can..." another awkward silence got there but this time Leona's face turned serious.
"I mean that's what happened to Epel. He realized that and now just look how closer they are" Ruggie shruged as he looked back at Leona.
"Pfft... Well he should find someone else to nag about "full potential" 'cause I don't care. Radish sprout for example... Why me"
Leona said rolling his eyes as he layed on grass, his back now facing Ruggie.
*Yaawn* Now excuse me I'd like to continue doing what I was supposed to."
" Tch... If you say so my guy"
Ruggie got up and as he was leaving, he looked back at Leona with smug smile on his face.
Despite being able to fall asleep in 3 seconds Leona just layed there thinking to himself.
" Schoenheit... Cares for me... "
...
"Alright boys that's it for today." Vil clapped his hands signing that film research club meeting is over. "You did great Job like always see you tomorrow."
"See you, housewarden Vil! " said some of the students as they left the room. Only one stayed and that's the most ambitious member of the club, Ortho Shroud.
"Vil Schoenheit san." younger called as he got closer.
"Oh you you're still here Ortho?"
"Yes I'd just like to talk to you for a bit" He answered
"Well, why not, i do enjoy your company after all" Vil replied with smile "So say what is it? Something club related or?"
"Well it's question specificaly for you, so it's alright if you don't feel like answering."
"Well you already started so do ask."
Ortho looked sideways a bit hesitently but asked anyways.
"What do you consider to be your relationship with Kingscholar san"
Vil was taken back for a bit. Maybe if Rook asked him this ,it would be normal, but Ortho? He was the last person to expect asking him that topic... Why would he want to know that in the first place?
"Heh.. Why would you ask that? There's nothing, just housewarden like me and Idia." Vil replied. Great thing he was a good actor so he knew how to keep calm expression.
"Well.. You two seem to argue often, yet you still compliment him in many aspects. Like his looks or his knowledge, or anything else other than his atitude." Ortho said his head bending slightly to left like a curious pup.
"So?"
"I don't have any feelings for Leona, Ortho." Vil said drily, his voice raised a bit.
There was an awkward silence until Ortho gave Vil a suspicous look.
"What?"
"I didn't ask you about feelings tho? I was asking what's your relationship with him. Is there something more or less then being colleagues"
Vil paused looking away even tho Ortho's big eyes wouldn't leave him. Another awkward silence filling the room. Which model decided to break.
"Look, i told you, there's nothing in between me and Leona. We are just housewardens. We just argue sometimes but also have some agreements." Vil replied with same tone as in earlier answer.
"Oh..." pause "Well alright then" was all Ortho said looking down. "Sorry if question bothered you"
"No, no need to be sorry."model said as he started approaching door. "Now excuse me, i have to go back to Pomefiore. See you tomorrow" said Vil as he walked away from the room.
Ortho still stood there watching him disappear from sight.
"Are you sure about that?" he muttered to himself.
...
All the way back to Pomefiore Vil walked nervously. Second answer to Ortho's question is all over his head.
"I don't have any feelings for Leona..."
But It's true, he didn't feel anything, so then why did he act like that.Why does that sentence feel... wrong.
He was now in his room,lying on his bed,wearing more comfortable clothing. Still thinking about conversation he and little Shroud had.
*knock*
"Rook, if it's you, come in!"
"Bonjour"
Rook entered enthusiastically like always but turned serious right away.
Vil sat up on bed petting spot next to him knowing that he will want to talk. There was an awkward silence, Rook occasionaly looking at him while Vil was staring at the ground seeing like there's a lot on his mind.
"What's with that brust through dorm, you know i called you, yet you went straight into your room" Rook broke the silence.
"I talked to Ortho after Club Meeting" Vil replied, still not looking at hunter.
"Did monsieur Doll said something that upset you?"
"No. Seriously just..." model sighned and closed his eyes. "his question was... Interesting? "
"May i ask what was it about?"
Vil hesitated a bit but answered anyway:
"He asked what is the relationship between me and Leona"
"... Alright..." Rook was pretty suprised but still hesitatly muttered: "Can i ask what was your answer?"
Again, Vil sighned as his reply was:
"... I said i don't feel anything for him... "
Noone spoke. Vil looked away again, same for Rook, however, smirk appeared shortly after.
"What? What's there to smile about" model asked.
"Well if you don't feel anything for Roi de Lion, why are you like this?"
Vil shoot glance at Rook. But to be honest he didn't know eather. Why is he upset about the answer.
"Roi de Poison..." started hunter "i think you do have some feelings for Leona san"
Vil just looked away not saying a word for minute that felt like an eternity. What is he talking about? What feelings? Because there's no way that Rook could be thinking of...
"Well, you are right... " model started
"Heh, Like i said, yu-" Rook smirked but was cut off.
"... Except those are all negative feelings. Like i always say, That man is just a waste of good looks" Vil finished.
Rook just looked down and started shaking his head like he was disappointed, which confused Vil.
"What's wrong didn't i just tell you everything? Aren't those feelings as well?" model asked in a demented and a bit angrier tone.
"Non non non..." Rook got up and walked towards the door.
"Wh- why are you leaving?"
Hunter looked back at him as he opened room's door "Mon Roi, when will you stop lying to yourself."
"What lies, Rook what the hell are you talking abou-!"
"You like him!"
Vil just sat there looking at hunter still really confused.
"What?!"
"You like that man. No, actually. You are in love with him. And when I tell you dear Vil he feels the same. You both just haven't seen it yet or don't want to see. " was all Rook said before closing the door and disappeared in dorm hallway...
...
Vil just sat there in silence. It's getting late so he better start preparing for bed.
Long shower, and skin care routine went smoothly like always but Rook's words didn't leave his mind.
Where did he get that?
Out of all people, Leona.
But not. It can't be. There's no way that he's in love with Savannaclaw housewarden. No way he refuses to belive tha-
Oh.
As Vil layed on his bed trying to fall asleep, it finally hit him. He finally saw it.
He really was lying to himself... He really is in love with that bastard...
...
"Awhhh, come on!"
"No. I'm not coming to another one of your parties."
"But why?!"
Kalim and Leona are in empty classroom. Nothing usual just Al Asim hier making another one of his famous Scarabian parties which Leona often refuses to attend.
"Just tell me why?!" Younger one asked again
" I have something important to do" obviously he lied
"No you don't"
"Well sleeping is really important to me" Leona said. Kalim looked down in defeat
Then it hit him.
"You know.... I invited Vil as well" Kalim said in a bit teasing tone.
"Well good, you just gave me actually valid reason on why I shouldn't come" Leona just smirked and looked away.
Kalim just gave Leona a confusing stare. Older one looked back at him the same
"What? Stop it. Do i have something on my face?"
"N-no it's just i thought you'd be happy that Vil's there" Kalim replied still looking confused.
"For fuck's sake..." older one sighed bowing his head shaking it, but looked back at him "Kalim, give me one reason on why the fuck would i attend your party just because Vil's there"
"Well... " younger started " I thought you like him?" hier said looking down.
Leona just stared at Kalim in shock not beliving what he just heard. Silence filled the room for a hot minute even lion's tail swishing was hearable.
"I can't belive this." he just sighed putting hand on his face "Yesterday it was Ruggie telling me Schoenheit cares for me and now you are telling me that I have feelings for him?! What's up with you heribroves and our relationship?!"
Kalim didn't say anything. Leona removed hand from his face, sighed again and looked at younger one.
"I will probably regret asking but, explain to me, where did you get that. Why do you all think like this?"
"Have you seen the way you look at each other, not to mention talking, anyone would think that"
"Heh, Oh really. Then how do I look and talk about him, Kalim. Please do say so since I'm clearly unaware" lion replied sarcastically.
"Oh, you really are, Leona." younger started "you have that sparkle in your eyes everytime, I always see it during housewarden meetings, and I guess Ruggie and others saw it as well..." He paused for a second.
"And talking... You really know each other. You know the other ones virtues very well, you even know how another one acts in certain Situations"
"Looks gotta be your Imagination. We just know each other for 3 years of course we know those things"
"I wouldn't say to that level" Younger answered smugly
Leona was taken back, he didn't know what to say. Just stood there in front of Kalim looking anywhere but his eyes.
"Did you drink something? Maybe you need to check Jamil again." Leona replied but he clearly seemed nervous.
" Why do you refuse to belive it" he asked,
Leona didn't say anything, just looking down then back at Kalim to see if he's still staring at him.
"If it's because you don't want to be rejected. I told you, he definetly feels the same." younger continued with smile.
"Sigh...
Leona, still silent, slowly turned around to leave the classroom.
Kalim now left alone sat on the table smiling to himself when uppreclassman was off sight.
"I think he finally figured it out"
...
Well it's finally setteled Leona and Vil realised they are love with each other. The thing is.. How will they confess? They bearly wanted to realise it themselves but now saying it to each other?!
...
After conversation with Kalim, Leona went straight into Savanaclaw dorm, ignoring underclassmen who tried to ask him things and zoomed right into his room slamming the door.
He's fucked.
He jumped on bed face first then turned around both hands grabbing his head.
For the next half hour he did nothing but lay there puffing in nervousness his face heated. But not because of anger or dorm's weather, but because of realization...
"Damn you, Vil"
He really is in love.
If Kalim's words are true, that means he's in love as well, and it could actually work out. But if not... What's he gonna do then... That would be the most humiliating moment in all of years he spent in NRC. He wouldn't be able to see Vil face to face ever again.
*knock*knock*
"Ugh... Come in!"
Ruggie and Jack entered with a bit worried expressions.
"So... Are you gonna tell us why you zoomed through dorm and not answer anyone for past hour." hyena said, hands on his hips.
"We even called you several times but like Ruggie said you didn't answer" Jack showed him his phone.
Leona just sighed his forearm covering his eyes. Another silence Session as Ruggie and Jack share concerned looks.
Suprisingly Leona broke it.
"Congratulations Ruggie, you are right, I do love Vil" he said quickly still covering his eyes.
Ruggie and Jack shared looks again but to Leona's ignorance, the smug ones. And then they started laughing.
Leona quickly got up out of confusion and sat on bed. While these two were laughing their asses off.
"Hey. Hey! Quit it! The hell is there to laugh about!" he yelled at them
"Phaha... Ahhh...." started Ruggie wiping his tears. "Oh great seven Leona... It really took you this long to realize"
"What is that supposed to mean?
" It's just the fact how everyone knows that you two are in love for so long yet you just got it" Jack said as he finally caught his breath
"Pfft" He smirked . "But...what do I do now"
Ruggie and Jack just looked at him with calm smiles.
"To confess."
...
It's later at afternoon which means last classes of the day are there.
Lucky for Vil it was his favorite, potionology.
He got into classroom just at the time as profesor Crewel, and started to put on his lab wear. As he got to caludor, Crewel called him.
"Schoenheit, someone left a note saying it's for you." He was holding a folded piece of paper. "I'd usually throw it away but didn't since it was signed for you, I didn't open it don't worry" Crewel said handing it to Vil "but now focus on the work." He just noded but still stared at it as he was going back to caludor.
"Alright pups, your assigment for today..."
Vil got the note but just like Crewel said, he'll read it after and focus on current assigment.
...
After class and lab cleaning school was over for the day. Sun finally began to set.
Althou Vil did well in class like always, note couldn't leave his mind.
He sat on the bench in court yard rethinking few times if he wants to read the note. With deep sigh he opened it.
"Meet me at the Main street, after class"
It wasn't signed.
...
Vil ended up going.Thinking weather he'll regret this all the way there.
And he did the moment he saw a certain lion beastman standing. He was about to turn around and go but stopped as soon as he heard him saying
"It's really unusual for you to be late"
"I assume this was from you, wasn't it?" He sighed and turned back.
They started walking in direction of one another.
"Now why did you invite me here"
"Honestly looking at it now I wonder myself"
Vil just sighed again shaking his head.
"Look i seriously don't have energy to argue with you, so if you have something to say, say it now." Leona just looked left then back at him, no answer. He really was bad at this.
"Alright then" Vil said annoyed as he turned away.
But just as he walked for few steps, a hand reached, grabbed his wrist and pulled him right back against Leona. He was hugging him from behind, head resting on his shoulder.
It took Vil few seconds to process what just happened and blush started to appear on his cheeks.
"What are you doing..."
Leona broke the hug and turned Vil to face him. They were really close, lion still holding his arms chest almost presing. And slowly the distance was disappearing more and more until Vil's hands rested on Leona's chest and their lips against each others.
They stayed like that for moment and then started moving. Slowly it was getting rougher and rougher sometimes Leona's tounge brushing against Vil's lips so he opened up his mouth. Vil cupped his face, while Leona hugged him.
They parted looking at each other, panting lightly, their faces flushed, Leona, processing what they just did.
But Vil just smiled, letting go of his face hugging him back.
"Did this answer your question" Leona asked with smirk
"But now, Why did we do this?" Vil asked in teasing tone backing to look at him.
"Ugh.." he growled rolling his eyes
"Come on~
"Fine." Leona started looking away at first then back at Vil "because I love you. Yes you are the Person who gets on my nerves but now I know that's because you want people to be their best.You won't get it from me but I appretiate it and that just says that you are a good Person. "
Vil just smiled at him and kissed him on cheek.
" I love you too. Yes you are annoying at the times but also really smart guy and great leader who clearly cares for people even tho he doesn't want to admit it right away."
They looked at eachother for a Moment before Vil started another kiss.
"OH BEAUTÉ!"
They stopped right after and looked around. Nothing.
"Is it just me or did you hear that creep"
"Hm.. No" Vil said shruging.(of course he heard Rook just didn't want to ruin the moment)
"Whatever, can we go somewhere more private, It's kinda weird seeing founders of our dorms looking at us and it's getting dark" Leona said jokingly as he took Vil's hand and started to walk away.
"Nice Job there Rook" Ruggie said ironically behind Sea witch's statue right when they were off sight.
"OH monsieur Dant-de lion i just couldn't help myself. They finally did it" Rook was right behind Queen of hearts. Tears of Joy in his eyes.
"He's right, good thing you took it into your hands because they wouldn't get it until gratuation" Epel peeked behind Fariest Queen.
"Now let's go to our dorms since this is finally over" Ruggie suggested, and started walking to mirror chamber hands behind his head and so Pomefiore students went right with him.
Mission finally completed.
