Work Text:
the housewarden of ignihyde was an elusive person. never spotted in classes, never found wandering around the hallways, never seen anywhere. almost like a ghost.
however, any ignihyde student can confirm that this is purely because she'd much rather spend her time sleeping than walking around or waste time on attending classes she already knows all about.
of course, she could be found, if one knew where to look. when her juniors needed her, there were several places they would search for her.
the first one was in her room, naturally. sparingly decorated, with a large bed in the middle of the room, it was occupied by her whenever they usually looked for her. it looked surprisingly un-lived in.
the second spot was the botanical garden, where she spent her mornings and afternoons most often, napping while concealed by the shadow of the bushes. she liked this place the most, her juniors noted. perhaps because it was so sunny most of the year, and warm, even in winter.
she was from sunset savannah, after all.
the third spot was the large spelldrive field on the campus. every day at exactly six in the afternoon, she would lounge on the bleachers in the gym uniform, broom next to her. by six thirty, she would be floating around the field on the aforementioned broom, either standing straight, arms crossed and staring down at the members of the spelldrive club, correcting their forms every now and then, or lounging lazily, tail swishing side to side as she chatted with the savanaclaw housewarden.
the fourth (and final) spot was the savanaclaw dorm, or more specifically, the housewarden's dorm room. she would remain here for most of the day, napping away on the large bed, bathed in the bright, warm sun of the savanaclaw dorm.
the only exceptions to this routine were the two random days of the week when she appeared in classes just for attendance credit, and the times when the savanaclaw housewarden flunked class. when that happened, the two would spend hours in the ignihyde dorm, playing chess as a crowd slowly gathered around them, looking on in awe at the several hour long chess match that usually ended with one of them growing bored and packing up and leaving.
today, the ignihyde housewarden found herself in the fourth spot, laying comfortably on the large bed, spread on it like a starfish. anyone unfamiliar with her would think she was the housewarden of savanaclaw if they saw her there, lounging on the bed like it belonged to her.
"taking over my bed once again, your highness?"
leona blearily blinked, looking up at the housewarden of savanaclaw grinning at her from the other side of the room. she didn't answer, instead watching idia walk to the bathroom, emerald eye carefully following the rippling of her back muscles as she took her shirt off on the way. as idia entered the bathroom, leona shifted to the side, getting a clear view of the shower just as idia stepped in. she watched in silence as she showered, the only sound besides the water running being idia's music and her humming along.
leona waited patiently for idia to finish showering, almost dozing off as she sat on the bed next to her. her eyes opened just the slightest bit, looking up at idia as she played with her hair.
"good morning, kitty cat." idia's nails scratched behind leona's ears, and leona leaned into her touch, a satisfied hum slipping from her throat. "slept all day again?"
leona shook her head lightly. "nah. went to crewel's class in the morning."
idia hummed and began peppering kisses over her face, her hands cupping leona's jaw gently, and a warm feeling spread through leona's chest, like the flames falling from idia's shoulders poured right into her heart. leona's arms wrapped around idia's shoulders, pulling her close to herself, burying her face into the blue flames and inhaling the comforting scent of idia's shampoo.
with a grunt, idia landed onto leona with her full weight, held in place by leona's arms wrapped tightly around her shoulders. "what's got you so cuddly, kitty?"
leona growled into idia's hair, murmuring 'mine' softly, before pressing a kiss to her scalp. idia laughed, a soft sound, right next to leona's ear. "what, you'll just keep me here all day, then?"
leona didn't respond, only turning them around so she could lay on idia. another laugh escaped idia as her arms wrapped around leona's waist. after a little while, she called out to leona, yet was met with silence from her end, the only sound in the room being their soft breathing.
"guess a small nap couldn't hurt."
