Work Text:
Night Raven College was a school with a planned and fixed temperature all throughout the campus, temperature that was not easily changeable.
Until you steal the magically infused crystal that controls the campus temperature.
Then only in that case will you gain the result of campus chaos.
Some rooms will be colder than others and some will be hotter. Dorms become the exact temperature that they shouldn’t be.
So with such a Dilemma, you would expect the Headmage of the school to fix this campus wide issue. Right?
Wrong, instead the Headmage implored the help of a few first year students to resolve the issue for him.
With that context it’s not quite surprising to see Floyd Leech within the halls of the now cold Scarabia, that is considering the heat that now plagued Octavinelle.
Floyd Leech who slept limp on Kalim’s bed, while Kalim was still in the dorm lounge. As he slept there he heard a ping coming from his phone.
A text message from Riddle, [ Floyd, are you alright? Azul says that Octavinelle is experiencing summer heat. ]
Floyd wasn’t exactly expecting a message like that from his Goldfish, it wasn’t that Riddle didn’t show his love through words but it was that he wasn’t usually that bold about it.
[ I’m okay Goldfishie! Sea Otter let me come over to his dorm. ] he texted back, with a bit of enthusiasm.
[ Alright, I’ll come over. ] Floyd got as a reply back. [ To cool myself down, since Heartslabyul is also experiencing immense heat. ]
Whether it was an excuse or not, it meant Riddle was coming over to Scarabia and that made Floyd happy enough.
—————————| < ——— > |—————————
Riddle arrived at Scarabia, realizing that he underestimated how cold Scarabia might actually be.
This was a bad thing for Riddle, the cold wasn’t something he was completely used to. Riddle was used to being in a perfectly temperature environment with how his mother kept him isolated in a house.
What Riddle discovered from going to school in NRC, however was that the cold messed with the way that he thought meaning he was most susceptible to making idiotic decisions in a state of cold.
So during the walk toward Kalim’s room, the cold stuck to his skin very closely so when he did reach Kalim’s room he felt quite a bit less reasonable compared to usual.
—————————| < ——— > |—————————
When Floyd heard the door handle he rose up from the bed. To see the familiar red hair of Heartslabyul’s teapot queen brought a smile to his face.
In Riddle’s drowsy sort of state, he wasn’t reasonable enough to keep his usual distance of physical touch.
His feet dragged as he threw himself into Floyd’s arms. “Goldfishie did you miss me?~” Floyd asked, holding Riddle gently in his arms with a sharp toothed grin on his face.
Riddle laid in the gentle arms of Floyd while humming out a soft response, not quite responding.
“Ehehe!” Floyd laughed at how Riddle nuzzled himself closer into his chest. Riddle had expected to be experiencing a different in temperature even if it was slight but Floyd was naturally cold so there was really no difference
“Goldfishie.” Floyd purred softly against Riddle’s neck, a sign that Floyd probably wanted to bite him.
In his usual mindset, Riddle would have refused. For self preservation, he couldn’t be seen with bites by his dorm students. ( if not for that, he’d probably be as bitten as Kalim )
But, Riddle wasn’t in his usual mindset. He’s cold and he isn’t thinking quite as straight he usually is. “Mhm…” he hummed out, the cold catching his thoughts.
Floyd started gently peppering Riddle’s face with kisses. Kisses soon became small bites on the neck, bites that caused Riddle to blushing, the heat causing him to start regaining his thoughts.
“Floyd..no.” Riddle managed to mumble out, more and more of his senses returning to him. “Just a nibble Goldfishie..” Floyd muttered out as he kept leave bites.
They stayed like that for a few moments before the door swung open and Kalim walked in. “Floyd, I’m back! Apparently Riddle’s here?” He said before catching sight of Riddle, “Hey Riddle!”
“Hi Kalim..” Riddle answered, trying his upmost hardest not to get distracted by Floyd’s moving bite marks. “Oh are we hugging each other now?” Kalim asked walking up to Floyd.
“Sea Otter, my teeth hurt!~” Floyd started as he began whining, “well no wonder you’re biting me then.” Riddle said, tracing over the bites.
“And Goldfishie being is so inconsiderate of me!~” Floyd said, clearly earning Kalim’s understanding. “What are you on about now!” Riddle yelled, “I don’t—“ “You can always bite me?” Kalim suggested, cutting Riddle off.
“Eh? Really? Sea Otter’s the best!~” Floyd cheered, suddenly sporting a smile, as he started peppering Kalim with kisses and bites. “Kalim, I’m sure Jamil will be a bit irritated if he sees anymore bites on you.” Riddle said, whether he was trying to stop Floyd or whether he was simply warning Kalim he said it anyway.
“Don’t worry Goldfishie! It’s just a nibble!” Floyd said, kind of reassuring Riddle.
Not that much though.
