Your body feels heavy. Despite your best efforts at keeping awake, you felt your head betraying you in favor of sleepiness that started to creep in. You always rested enough to function for the day, but for the past few weeks, you started to fall asleep without meaning to. You visited a doctor for your strange occurrence, yet their answer was nothing, nothing too concerning. You tried other clinics, but they said the same. Just rest a lot more but you knew it wasn't simple. You thought your situation was a fragment of your imagination but your current predicament says otherwise.

You avoided some students nearby and waited for them to leave, then allowed your sluggish figure to slump on the ground as you laid your back on the wall. You inhaled some air, feeling your consciousness slip away. You were exhausted already, despite the sky's indication for today. You weren't too keen on your housewarden's scolding if he learned you missed an hour of class or two. But you couldn't move a muscle.

No doubt, if someone saw you, they would tell the housekeeper about you slacking off from class. It wasn't rare for someone to be caught doing such a thing, but you don't want a record for bad behavior during your time at NRC. You survived for the last two years; your third year wouldn't be any different.

But as you tried to stand up, you couldn't maintain your balance for a second before you fell again and couldn't get up without getting dizzy. With your current situation, going to the classroom would be out of the question. You would be dozing off for the rest of the lesson, and having your vice-housewarden as your classmate would no doubt relay the information to the housewarden. On the other hand, the mirror towards the dorm would be one of your options, but the risk of someone noticing you would be higher. The better option would be the infirmary. Crewel-sensei must know something about your predicament, but the thought of him dismissing your illness as fatigue would probably trouble you more.

You were totally lost as to what to do.

Still, asking him would still be the best, and you couldn't know until you tried. With that in mind, you tried to stay awake and lay your hand on the wall for support. But just after a few steps, you felt a presence behind you, looming over your figure. You turn around and gasp as you notice your housewarden's frowning gaze upon you. He was wearing the Pomefiore dorm uniform, indicating he had just come from the meeting. He wasn't using his usual hairstyle in favor of tying it behind his back. His light blonde hair glistened under the sun's brightness from the window, enhancing his beauty, but the sight of him makes you panic.

"Why aren't you back at your class? The bell rang a few minutes ago."

You were quiet as he waited for your answer. But as you just tried to explain, your head feels lighter, and you can't control your sleepiness anymore. The last thing you remember is the way his eyes widened before calling out your name.

.

.

Sometime later, you wake up in the infirmary. The ceiling greeted your vision as you tried to flutter your droopy eyes. You notice the sun's brightness has turned orange, indicating you have been asleep for a long time. You weren't surprised by how it turned out.

You glance around for any signs of your housewarden, but it seems he has already left. Though You weren't sure if you were off the hook or if sometime later there would be punishment waiting for you, You just hoped it would be the latter.

"What is this, falling asleep in the middle of the day? Didn't I remind you to sleep early at night?" Crewel asked as he noticed you were awake. You sit up from the bed, and frankly enough, you are still sleepy. Crewel noticed you were still unresponsive and gave you a bottle of liquid. You held the bottle up in your face as you stared. Curious.

"That potion was supposed to help you stay awake for a few hours," he replied as he noticed your confusion. You nodded your head, but the thought made you frown. You tried one of these after a few days of your supposed illness and even tried to make one that could help, yet none of them worked. But the scent rolling from the inside was much stronger than the one you drank before; maybe it will work?

You drank most of the liquid, yet you feel disappointed. The potion effect still didn't work the way you wished. Even if it wasn't, you were grateful to Crewel-sensei for giving you the potion. Drinking the remnants from the bottle, you didn't notice another person enter the infirmary until they were near enough.

"Oh my, Mademoiselle Little Flower! How are you? Did you sleep well? Does your curse happen a lot?-" His voice surprised you while Crewel left for his class in the afternoon.

Your vice-housewarden, Rook Hunt, started to ask you many questions, but you got lost in the middle. Dumbfounded. You wondered why he was here instead of waiting for you back at the dorm. Was it Vil who requested your presence as soon as possible? Wait, he did mention something about a curse.

"Forgive me for cutting off your questions, Vice-Housewarden, but ah, you mention a curse?" You frowned. You didn't have time to ponder more when he nodded his head as if it answered everything.

"Oui, Mademoiselle! Your condition was living proof of that. Come,  let's go back to the dorm. Roi de Poison would explain more about your condition."

He didn't indulge you with more information and waited for you to stand up on your own. Instead of asking more questions, you stayed silent as you followed him away from the infirmary. You sometimes notice how he glances at your figure as you walk, keeping an eye out for you if you suddenly stumble without notice. You were grateful yet at the same time annoyed by how you felt as if someone had to help you with the most simple task, such as walking.

"Am I in trouble for not attending class earlier?" You asked after silence passed between the two of you. He laughs, and you realize your question sounds as if a child would get scolded by a parent. You flush in embarrassment. Thankfully, he took mercy on you, even just for a second, as he answered, still shaken from laughter.

"He was not Mademoiselle little Flower. He just wishes you should have said something about your condition earlier so he wouldn't be worried. You frightened our Roi de Poison, you see." Somehow, imagining Vil-san's worried expression about your passed out body was embarrassing. Out of all people, it had to be your strict housewarden to witness your devastating and unflattering moment.

You didn't speak a lot, but Rook didn't seem to mind your silence as he was busy praising Vil-san's beauty. Though you made some comments here and there, you chuckled a lot more when he exaggerated Vil-san's inspiring speeches.

Once back at the dorm, you notice your housewarden in the lounge, who is still wearing the clothes he was wearing earlier while talking to another student. The student carries two different shades of fabric as Vil scrutinizes each of them. He motioned his hand over the other one, complimenting the shade, before the other person nodded. Rook greeted Vil gleefully as he dismissed the other student. Vil turned to Rook, acknowledging him before he gazed upon your form. His eyes analyzed you as you mumbled your apology.

"Housewarden, I sincerely apologize for passing out on you earlier." You bowed, your hair covering the side of your face. His heeled boots appeared in your vision before his fingers held your chin up to look at him.

"Nothing to apologize for, my dear. Tell me, how are you?" You composed yourself under his gaze and let your hands fall to your sides. "I'm fine Housewarden."

He nodded and turn you side by side. You stayed still under his gaze as he ponder. "You can call me Vil. Tell me, when did your curse appeared?"

"A few weeks ago, around the time when we had a small celebration with our dorm." you answered truthfully, watching how their eyes frowned. Vil seems more conserved, while Rook seems thoughtful. You wanted to dismiss their concerns, but if you mentioned it to them, they would absolutely disagree.

"How many times does your curse become active for a day?" You paused, still a bit surprised at the term of the curse upon you. Back to the question: it was very complicated, to say the least. Sometimes it was different; rather than falling asleep, you would often feel lightheaded for the rest of the day, so you didn't know if your curse was active or not. You zoned out for a while, and Vil hit your head lightly to get your attention.

"How rude of you to zone out when we are talking." he scolded.

"My apologies, Vil-san. It's just, it's complicated. There were often times I fell asleep twice a day and it only lasted for twenty minutes; on the other hand, there wasn't at all, but rather I felt lightheaded for the rest of the day." You pursed your lips before continuing. "But these days, it's gotten worse. I tried to brew one that could help my cond-ah curse, but it wasn't strong enough." Your voice was silent on the end. There was silence until Vil folded his arm and said,

"Well, what do you think, Rook? Do you know something?" Vil turned to his second-command, and you did too. The two of you waited for his reply, but the hunter shrugged his shoulders, holding his hands in the air.

"Non non, at all."

Vil sighed at his second-command's lack of insight before turning to you once more. "Did you receive some gifts of some kind from anyone?"

"Not that I'm aware of, no."

Vil nodded, and you felt useless for not thinking too much. Rook clapped his hand, earning both of your attention, and Vil looked at him expectantly. Rook had his signature grin on his face as he pulled the two of you into his arms. You chuckle lightly while Vil looks dissatisfied. His uniform was getting wrinkled.

"My apologies, Roi de Poison, but let's enjoy this day before we think of a solution to Mademoiselle little Flower here, hm? What do you say, Roi de Poison?"

Vil was a little peeved by Rook's antics before nodding his approval. "Y/N, I'll personally talk to the teachers about your condition. I will let you know the details and what plans we were about to make tomorrow morning. Do you understand?"

"Vil-"

"Do you understand?"

You reluctantly nodded, and Rook instantly let go of the both of you, still grinning while Vil patted some wrinkles on his clothes. You bowed deeply to your Housewarden and vice with gratitude.

"Thank you so much for looking out for my wellbeing, Vil-san and Rook-san. I promise I will do my best despite my unfortunate circumstances; please bear with my presence for a while." You lifted your head only to see Rook wiping the tears from his eyes while Vil frowned at his behavior.

"Such a wonderful speech! Y/N-san. The curse you alone must face, the pain and sorrows you must endure, I truly hope you reach your happy ending, Mademoiselle little flower. Beauté, Marvelous!"

You chuckled uncertainly before turning to Vil with a smile. "If you excuse me, Housewarden, you bowed once more while Vil nodded. "Of course you must be exhausted, do you not? Rest; your complexion wouldn't do you any favors if you stayed up late." Somehow you had a feeling that not even a few minutes after you had gone into your bedroom, you'd fall asleep on the ground. Thankfully, your roommate was away for a while.

You smiled one last time before you left, leaving the two of them in the lounge. Rook glanced at his housekeeper with a knowing look in his eyes. "So what do you think, Vil?" He put his hand on his waist while watching the said person feign ignorance.

"I suspect something, but it was too early to tell. I suggest we monitor her for now; I'll be leaving now." Vil dismissed himself. His heels clanged on the ground before fading, leaving the vice-housewarden in his record.

"I do wonder."

Happy fathers day everyone! Have some Parent/Guardian Figure Staffs AU memes here!

When mc prefers Crewel more as their father figure than Crowley

Imagine this: Child! Mc fanfic part 2 is coming soon

Child!Yuu part 3:

Leona looked at the time, and saw that it was almost time for dinner and called the two balls of cuteness over, stating that it was time to eat and then go to sleep.

Nodding their heads at the dormwarden, they started to collect their stuff that they have played with, and got up to put the items in their respective place, showing to Leona that they are big and good kids.

While a little annoyed at the fact that they seek his validation, but kind of proud of them, the savanaclaw dormwarden chuckled while ruffling the children's hair.

"Good job, brat, herbivore." the green-eyed male praised the little sunshine of a cub and the little ball of kindness known as the Ramshackle Prefect.

They started walking towards the cafeteria of the school, meeting Jack and Ruggie along the way, as Ruggie told Cheka about some places that they could play the next day, on the other hand, little Yuu was on Jack's shoulders as the (e/c) child told the wolf beastman about their playtime with Cheka.

The said beastman that holds the child Prefect nodded his head while humming to show that he understands and that he is listening to the shy puddle of kindness.

Cheka was animatedly telling Ruggie on how he was a good big bro and played with Yuu.

Arriving at the cafeteria, Jack let the (e/c) child down, and took their hand into his bigger one. Yuu didn't complain about being off the beastman's shoulders, but still pouted a little about it.

They quickly went towards a table and waited for Ruggie and Jack to come back with food for Leona, themselves and the two kids. While waiting, Yuu was looking around anxiously and mumbled a short and almost inaudible "Scary people.."

This sentence made Leona look towards the anxious child and while not being the best person to comfort someone, much less a child, he awkwardly pat the herbivore's head in a way to say 'it's alright'.

Getting the message, the anxious Prefect-turned-into-a-child calmed down a little and shyly smiled towards Leona, this action caught Leona off guard and he swore he saw an little angel.

"Hey! We got the food, now let's eat!" Exclaimed Ruggie as he came into the view of the three that were located at the table. The hyena beastman quickly came towards the said table and placed down the trays with the food.

After eating, they went towards the headmage office, to give Yuu to the incompetent headmage and their alchemy teacher said child.

Upon arriving, they knocked on the door, after hearing a 'come in' from inside the room, they entered the office, and saw Crowley and Crewel playing cards games.

Seeing that Leona, Ruggie and Yuu entered the room, Crewel stood up and went towards the child that he may or may not want to adopt.

Upon meeting Crewel again, Yuu brightened up and ran towards the fashion icon known as the alchemy teacher of Night Raven College. "Mr.Crewel!" Was what the Ramshackle dorm Prefect said and hugged the older man.

Divius, quickly picked up the (height) child and smiled at them. Finally, realizing that they were tired, Yuu yawned and put their head on the teacher's shoulder.

The (h/c) hair of the child spread on their face as Yuu's breath evened and the black and white haired teacher knew that his- I mean the child had fallen asleep.

"Thank you for taking care of them, Kingscholar, Bucchi." The teacher thanked the two as Jack was outside the office, carrying Cheka on his back because Leona didn't want to.

Closing the door the savanaclaw members and young Cheka went towards their dorm. After they left, Divius sighed and turned his attention towards Dire, seeing that the headmage's attention was on the sleeping child, he asked him what he wants.

"I wonder, how much time it would take for Mx.Yuu to turn back to normal." Said Dire, the alchemy teacher also wondered the same question, but he also loved to take care of Yuu like they were his own child.

Packing their stuff, they left the office and went towards their shared apartment that was close to NRC, after 20 minutes or so, they arrived home and Divius quickly put the sleeping (e/c)-eyed child to a bed from the guest room.

Slowly closing the door, the half-black-half-white haired male whispered a quick 'goodnight' to the child, even though Yuu couldn't hear him, and went to the kitchen where Dire was.

Sensing his husband, Dire looked up from his cup of tea that he had prepared while Divius was tucking Yuu in bed. They had to discuss about the whole Yuu-turned-into-a-child-situation and how could they send Yuu back to their world.

"So, what are you going to do about this whole situation? You are the headmage after all." Crewel sat down on a chair while taking his own cup of tea that Crowley also prepared for him.

Sighing, Crowley put his hand in his hair, before chuckling a sad chuckle, he knew he should send the Ramshackle Prefect back to their world as he actually did find a way to get them back.

He knew he was selfish for not telling them about it, he knew it wasn't fair to the Prefect to be lied to, but he couldn’t bring himself to tell them, because the method to bring them back could easily kill them.

He knew he shouldn't have gotten attached to a kid from another world, he knew he couldn't help it, but he wanted to keep them here, where he knew that they were alive and well, even if he isn't much of a help to said kid.

"Dire." The voice of his husband snapped him out of his thoughts, and he looked towards Divius with a melancholic gaze.

"I'm sorry, Divius but.." The half-black-half-white haired male raised a brow and told his beloved to continue "I can't help it, but I want to be selfish and keep Mx.Yuu here, in Twisted Wonderland."

Shocked by Dire's statement, the alchemy teacher gestured to explain why he wants that. "It's just.. I got attached to them, I think of them as my own child.. and I don't want to send them back to their world."

Blinking a few times, Divius soon started to laugh, and now Dire was confused. Why is his husband laughing at his statement?

"Sorry, sorry, love. Its just, I also got attached to this puppy.. but if our puppy wants to go home, we have no choice but to let them go home but if they want to remain here, we can adopt them as our own." Said Divius as he held his lover's hand and gently squeezed it.

Feeling better, the crow themed male smiled a little and nodded his head, his golden eyes softened as he said "Maybe.. they would want to stay with us and everyone here.."

After finishing their tea, they went to bed where they cuddled while talking about activities they could do with Yuu as bonding time.
