Father
Silver
Father, do you have a moment?
Lilia
Of course.(⚈∇⚈ )
Silver
I have reason to believe Sebek might have kissed me on the forehead earlier today.
Lilia
(;° ロ°)
Reason to believe? Do you not know for sure?
Silver
Well, I had fallen asleep..
I was just waking up when he did it.
Lilia
Oh dear! (〃´∀｀)
They really grow up so fast. (ￗ﹏ￗ )
Silver
?
Riddle
Silver
Riddle, you know Sebek quite well, correct?
Riddle
I'm.. doubtful of that.
Why do you ask? Has something come up?
Silver
I need some guidance.
Riddle
I see.
I only really see Sebek at club activities, but I understand there must be a reason if you are asking me specifically, yes?
Silver
I have already talked to master Lilia.
I thought you may be my next best bet.
Riddle
I am flattered.
I worry how much help I may be if it has left even Lilia-senpai stumped, but I am all ears.
Silver
I am under the impression that Sebek has been kissing me while I sleep.
Why might he be doing this? I don't understand.
Riddle
Oh. I see now.
I feel as though this is out of my field of expertise.
Silver
Ah. That is a pity.
Riddle
I appologize Silver, I wish I could help more.
Silver
Please do not worry. I appreaciate you lending an ear regardless.
Riddle
Rook-senpai and Cater might be better at this, if you find yourself low on options.
Just, don't tell Cater I sent you.
I hope you find someone who can help, Silver.
Second Years 🔥
Silver
I have a question.
Riddle, feel free to ignore this.
Floyd
oh~
whats up lil jellyfish~
Jade
Go on, Silver.
Silver
Why might Sebek be kissing me while I am asleep?
Ruggie
LMFAO
Jamil
I'm… not sure what I was expecting.
Kalim
Sebek's been doing what?????
Silver
I found out earlier this morning. I'm not sure why it might be.
Azul
Have you asked him?
Silver
No, why would I?
Jade
I imagine it would be the easiest way to figuring out the answer.
Silver
You have a point in theory, but Sebek tends to be quite argumentative with me.
I am not sure he'd be willing to take me seriously.
Floyd
i'm sure i could squeeze it outa him for ya~
Ruggie
so creepy and for what
Azul
If you're looking for answers, I could do some digging.
Silver
You would do that?
Riddle
Only for a price. Ignore him Silver, there's better ways to figure it out.
Just give it some time.
Silver
Ah, he was talking about a contract.
Floyd
aw little goldfishies always ruining the fun~
Jamil
I'm afraid between Kalim, Ruggie, and that trio, no one here is quite qualified to help you Silver.
Ruggie
man why you say fuck me for
Silver
Still, thank you for your time. I'll figure something out.
Jade
Our doors are always open.
Kalim
let me know if you find anything!!!
Rook-Senpai
Silver
Pardon me, I have a question for you.
Rook
qu'est-ce que c'est, Monsieur Sleepyhead?
Silver
Why might someone kiss a sleeping person?
Rook
excusez-moi????
is this about Monsieur Crocodile?
Silver
I am under the belief that Sebek has been kissing me during my sleeping spells.
Rook
Ah, le baiser du véritable amour~
Silver
…
Thank you anyways.
Cater-Senpai
Silver
Cater senpai, I was told you might be able to help me.
Cater
me? wats up??
Silver
I discovered Sebek has been kissing me on the forehead when he thinks I'm sleeping.
I've been asking around, but no one can give me a straight asnwer as to why.
Riddle told me you might know something.
Cater
OH???
i dont know Sebeky sups well but i do have an idea
have u considered
that he #LikesYou
Silver
What?
We've trained together since we were children, and work side by side as Lord Malleus' guards.
I am sure he at least likes me somewhat if he can tolerate my being around, yes.
Cater
no no Silvs hunny
like
in the romantic way
Silver
What do you mean.
Cater
maybe he's kissing u on the forehead because he likes u? as in
wants to be in a relationship
kiss, hold hands
love eachother?
#Pride?
Silver
You think Sebek wants to have a romantic relationship with me?
Cater
just throwing it out there
i mean
he doesnt seem like the type to kiss just anybody
Silver
I.. hadn't considered that.
I'm not sure I can picture Sebek wanting that from me, in all honesty.
But, it is the best I have gotten so far.
Thank you, Cater senpai.
Cater
obv! come to me anytime, ur senpai will take care of u ^^
oh, and tell Rids that I apprciate him speaking so highly of me :)
Silver
…
I will.
LORD MALLEUS
Sebek
WAKA-SAMA, I BELIEVE YOU MIGHT HAVE LEFT SOMETHING BEHIND IN MY CHAMBERS.
I WILL DELIVER IT TO YOU SHORTLY.
Malleus
No Need, Sebek. It Is A Gift. I Thought It Might Cheer You Up.
You've Seemed Quite Unfocused Lately.
Sebek
I APPOLOGIZE, WAKA-SAMA.
I WILL BE MORE DILIGENT FROM NOW ON.
Malleus
That Is Not What I Meant.
…
See You Later, Sebek.
Sebek
I WILL SEE YOU SHORTLY, WAKA-SAMA.
First Years
Sebek
WHY MIGHT A CURE STOP WORKING.
Ace
??????
Epel
um
hello??
Deuce
What kind of cure?
Sebek
THE CURE TO A CURSE.
Jack
I don't know curses, but with medicines your body might become accustomed to it after a while. The same thing stops working if you use it too frquently.
Ace
smartass
Deuce
Theres no need to be so rude 😒
Ortho
Vil Shoenheit-san might be more knowledgable on curses!
Epel
ugh.
Ortho
Epel Felmier-San, do you disagree?
Epel
Ah, no. He probably would.
Couldn't hurt
probably
VIL SHOENHEIT
Sebek
YOU KNOW MUCH ABOUT CURSES, DO YOU NOT HUMAN?
Vil
It seems Malleus still hasn't taught his Cucumber any manners.
To what do I owe the pleasure, Sebek?
Sebek
THE REMEDY FOR SILVER'S TROUBLESOME CURSE HAVE STOPPED WORKING.
I WISH TO FIX IT BEFORE HE BECOMES A NUISANCE TO LORD MALLEUS.
Vil
Curse?
Ah, Silver's unfortunate sleeping habits.
And what remedy have you been using?
Sebek
I HAVE BEEN TOUCHING MY LIPS TO HIS FOREHEAD EACH TIME I CATCH HIM DOZING OFF.
Vil
And this has been working so far?
Sebek
IT HAS BEEN WORKING EXCELLENTLY.
THE THE LAST TWO TIMES I DID IT HOWEVER, HE DID NOT WAKE UP.
Vil
And you are sure about this?
Sebek
YES. HIS EYES REMAINED CLOSED. VERY TIGHTLY.
Vil
There doesn't seem to be an issue with your method.
Continue as you were, if it remains a problem I'll see what I can do.
Sebek
MY GRATITUDE, HUMAN.
My Hunter
Vil
They are quite hopeless. Malleus ought to do a better job with them.
Rook
Je suis d'accord, mon Roi du Poison.
RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS
Sebek
RIDDLE-SENPAI, I REQUEST AN AUDIENCE.
Riddle
Oh? It's not often you seek me out, Sebek.
Sebek
THESE ARE STRENEUOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.
Riddle
Go on.
Sebek
THE CURE TO SILVER'S CURSE HAS STOPPED WORKING.
Riddle
The cure? I wasn't aware there was a cure to his narcolepsy.
Sebek
IN THE PAST, TOUCHING MY LIPS TO HIS FOREHEAD WAS ALL IT TOOK TO ROUSE HIM.
RECENTLY, NOTHINGS BEEN WAKING HIM.
IF HE'S GETTING WORSE, IT WOULD BE AWFUL TROUBLE FOR LORD MALLEUS.
Riddle
A kiss on the forehead?
How did you discover that was the cure?
Sebek
LILIA-SAMA TOLD ME OF HIS DISCOVERY A FEW MONTHS AGO.
HE ENTRUSTED ME WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP SILVER IN CHECK.
Riddle
Ah.. I think I'm beginning to understand now.
I believe you should clear this up with Silver.
Sebek
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Riddle
I think Silver has been pretending to stay asleep to avoid facing you.
He reached out to me not long ago to ask why you might be kissing his forehead.
You may want to clear up any misunderstandings with him.
Sebek
I SEE. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS.
THANK YOU, RIDDLE-SENPAI. I WILL TALK TO HIM.
Riddle
Of course, Sebek. I hope it goes well.
Sebek
Sebek
SILVER, I HAVE SOMETHING TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.
Silver
As do I.
Sebek
YES, I AM UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU FOUND OUT.
Silver
So it is true then? I still had my reservations..
Sebek
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Silver
You like me romantically, correct?
I.. wasn't quite sure what to make of it at first, to be honest.
But I think I understand.
We have spent a lot of our life together, after all.
Sebek
EXCUSE ME??
Silver
Yes?
Sebek
WHY WOULD YOU
WHO SAID
WHERE WOULD YOU HAVE HEARD THIS?
DID RIDDLE-SENPAI TELL YOU THAT?
IT SEEMS UNCHARACTERISTIC.
Silver
Huh? No, Riddle said he could not provide much help when I asked him about you.
Cater senpai was the 10th person I asked.
He was the only one capable of reaching a plausible conclussion.
Sebek
WHAT WERE YOU ASKING TO MAKE THE HUMAN BELIEVE SUCH NONSENSE.
Silver
I told him you have been kissing my forhead while I sleep, and he told me it might be posssible you hold romantic interest in me.
Did I get it wrong?
Sebek
WHY WOULD THAT EVER BE THE REASON
YOU REALLY ARE STILL A FOOL.
Silver
Oh.
I see, my apologies.
I must have misunderstood this situation entirely.
Sebek
CLEARLY.
I WAS ONLY DOING MASTER LILIA A FAVOR BY KEEPING YOU AWAKE, BUT IT SEEMS THAT WONT WORK ANY LONGER.
THIS BETTER NOT BECOME A HINDERANCE TO WAKA-SAMA.
Silver
You were doing Father a favor?
Sebek
I WAS COMPLAINING TO HIM ABOUT YOUR OBNOXIOUS SLEEPING HABITS AND HE TOLD ME OF A QUICK REMEDY HE FOUND IN SOME ANCIENT FAE TALES.
IT WAS WORKING SPECTAULARLY BEFORE NOW.
Silver
Ancient fae remedies?
Oh.
No, nevermind. I must be mistaken.
Sebek
WHAT ARE YOU BLABBERING ABOUT NOW?
Silver
It is unimportant.
Thank you Sebek. I know you were only helping me because I was being a hinderance, but I still appreciate it nontheless.
Sebek
GOOD.
THOUGH NOW THAT IT HAS SEEMED TO STOP WORKING, I HAD BETTER START LOOKING FOR A NEW WAY TO WAKE YOU.
Silver
I look forward to it.
Father
Silver
Father?
Lilia
Yes, Silver?
Am I correct to believe this is a follow up on our earlier conversation?
（＾ω＾）
Silver
Yes, it is.
Lilia
Ohohoho, and did everything go well? ◕‿↼)
Silver
It did.
I found out that it was simply an old fae cure for my ailment.
Thank you for reccomending it, Father.
It did help quite well for a while.
Lilia
Just an old cure?
Is that all you talked about?
Silver
?
Yes.
I mistakenly made some assumptions at the beginning, but that was quite foolish of me.
Lilia
Foolish indeed.
You boys truly are still the same little kids from back then.
Silver
Yes, I still have a long way to go in order to make you and Lord Malleus proud.
Lilia
Ah, that is not what I meant.
The cure has very specific conditions. I am simply bemused that you never picked up on it.
Silver
Yes, a kiss to the forhead. It is quite unusual, I suppose.
Lilia
No, just a kiss simply won't do.
It has to be a kiss from your true love.
Silly little Silver, did you not remember any of the stories I've read you?
Your old man's hurt~
Silver
Oh.
So I was not mistaken after all.
Lilia
Khekeke, what's this? I was expecting a little more hesitance from you.(〃´∀｀)
Silver
I was quite unsure of the idea, but Cater senpai explained the possibility to me.
Lilia
Cater, mm? That boy is quite smart.(─‿─)
I ought to thank him next time we meet at the Pop-Music club.
Silver
He was very helpful.
Thank you for your help as well, Father.
I am going to try and talk to Sebek some more.
Lilia
d(･∀･○)
VIL SHOENHEIT
Sebek
I AM IN NEED OF A NEW REMEDY.
Vil
That was fast.
Did you talk to Silver?
Sebek
INDEED. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS USING AN OLD FAE REMEDY, BUT IT SEEMS WE ARE NOW IN NEED OF A NEW ONE.
Vil
Sebek.
Do you know what the old cure you were using is called?
Sebek
NO???
Vil
True loves kiss.
It's quite famous, I am almost impressed by your ignorance.
Sebek
THAT IS RIDICULOUS.
Vil
Is it?
Sebek
I FIND SILVER TO BE INFURIATING.
Vil
Trust me, I am aware of your bickering.
Still, you're quite eager to help him out, and I am still not entirely sure you can go a sentence without saying his name.
Sebek
HELPING HIM MEANS LESS WORK FOR LORD MALLEUS. BESIDES, THE FOOL WILL SURELY END UP IN A DITCH WITHOUT SUPERVISION.
Vil
Don't even start with the "for lord Malleus" garbage, you're giving me a headache.
And don't tell me you have never considered it.
Sebek
CONSIDERED WHAT.
Vil
Being with Silver. Can you picture it?
Sebek
THAT IS BESIDES THE POINT, HE IS A NUISANCE THAT TRAILS AFTER ME LIKE A LOST DOG, OF COURSE I CAN IMAGINE HIM BESIDES ME.
Vil
You know what I mean, you are just being difficult on purpose.
What about this then.
Imagine Silver getting in a romantic relationship with someone else.
Sebek
IMPOSSIBLE. THE FOOL HAS BETTER LUCK TALKING WITH ANIMALS THAN HIS OWN PEERS.
Vil
Is it? He's quite close with Kalim. I often hear Kalim gush about getting Silver to smile, or teaching him new things.
It's cute.
Sebek
…
Vil
Kalim is a very sweet boy, I am sure even you can't argue with that.
But still, would you be happy for Silver if they started dating?
Sebek
NO.
Vil
And why is that? It is not because you think Kalim is a lacking partner, surely.
Sebek
HE IS A FOOL WHO LACKS DICIPLINE.
Vil
We are not talking about taking up arms, we are talking about relationships.
Kalim may not be able to fight on the front lines, but he would be a kind partner to Silver, do you agree?
Sebek
I SUPPOSE
YES.
Vil
So then why would you not be happy for Silver?
Have you considered it's because you would be jealous of Kalim?
Sebek
I AM GOING TO TAKEMY LEAVE.
Vil
And talk to Silver? Yeah I thought so.
These troublesome kids, I swear.
Sebek
Silver
Sebek, I would actually like to continue our discussion.
Sebek
VERY WELL.
Silver
I talked to Father about the cure he told you about.
I take it he did not tell you its requirements, or this may not have become such a big misunderstanding.
I am not sure how to go about this.
Sebek
I BELIEVE I UNDERSTAND NOW.
Silver
Do you?
Sebek
I TALKED TO VIL-SENPAI.
Silver
Oh, I see.
Sebek
WOULD YOU SEEK A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH KALIM?
Silver
Excuse me?
Sebek
WOULD YOU?
Silver
No, I would not. He is a very good friend, but I can not imagine him in that light.
Sebek
OKAY.
WAIT A MOMENT.
Re: But I think I understand. DOES THIS MEAN YOU CAN IMAGINE ME IN THAT LIGHT?
I DO NOT GET IT.
Silver
Oh.
I hadn't considered it before recently, but when Cater suggested that is how you might feel I started to think about it.
I think it would be a lot to get used to, but I can imagine it, yes.
I mean, I have felt you kiss me already.
Sebek
THAT WAS INSIGNIFICANT.
BUT I SEE NOW.
Silver
Insignifficant?
Well, I suppose it was hardly a propper kiss.
I might like to experience a real one, then.
Sebek
OH.
Silver
Is that bad?
Do you not want to?
I may be overstepping.
Sebek
NO
YES.
Silver
I am in the common room, Sebek.
If that means anything.
Sebek
IT DOESNT.
…
I WILL BE THERE SHORTLY.
BONUS
Father
Silver
Thank you, Father.
Lilia
Oh?
Oh~ (*≧∀≦*)
Riddle
Silver
Thank you for your help, Riddle.
Riddle
Of course.
I take it everything has worked itself out?
Silver
Yes, I am quite content with this outcome.
Riddle
I'm glad, Silver.
Cater-Senpai
Silver
Thank you, Cater Senpai. Everything turned out well.
Cater
O.M.G.

Silver
We are still figuring it out, but I am happy.
Cater

Who was it again that took time out of their busy day to help you figure your shit out?
I can't quite recall.
Sebek
…
THANK YOU, VIL-SENPAI.
Vil
That's what I thought.
LORD MALLEUS
Malleus
You And Silver Have My Blessing, Sebek.
Sebek
WHAT DO YOU MEAN.
Malleus
You Have Been In A Better Mood, I Take It You Have Sorted Things Out.
Silver Seems Quite Cheerful As Well.
Sebek
HE IS?
Malleus
Quite.
I Wish A Lifetime Of Happiness For You Both.
Sebek
WE ARE NOT
…
THANK YOU, WAKA-SAMA.
