Gloxinia X Fem!Reader School AU. 🍋

Chapter 7

AN/ Sorry for the long time between updates, I got a little overwhelmed irl but I should be able to update a bit more in the coming weeks. I meade this chapter a little longer (Just over 3.7k words) hope you enjoy!

///NSFW WARNING: This chapter isnt a sex chapter but it does have a little bit of fondling and tension in the classroom.

It didn't take much more than a few minutes for your quiet time to be interrupted. The classroom door slid open and you heard your name said, forcing you to unhappily open your eyes. You wished you could stay like that just a little while longer, taking one last glance at Gloxinia before sitting up and facing Derieri.

Derieri wasn't in your class, she was in Meliodas' and you didn't see her come to your hall often. When she said your name it wasn't a question, it was akin to a monotone demand. You calmly pressed your finger to your lips before she said anything else, moving out of the room and closing the door before talking with her.

"Do you need something?" You leaned against the door, your fingers still holding the handle. Derieri kept her usual hard demeanor, her arms folded and her gaze elsewhere. As he always was, Monspeet was to her side as well.

"Not from you." Derieri shrugged her shoulders. She didn't say that to be cold, only stating the truth. "Gloxinia was supposed to meet with us after tests." Despite her saying that, she called you instead of him. Your smile faltered for a second. Usually when Gloxinia had business in the Demon hall he would bring you along, not that he needed an escort.

It wasn't any one thing that made Derieri and friends out to be bad company, but they didn't have the best reputation at school. They were viewed as troublemakers and they were known to finish a fight regardless of who starts it. Zeldris was the leader of their group, he was who made days to hang out although you didn't know exactly what they did outside of school.

"He's asleep." You didn't mean to, but it came off a little possessive. Your fingers curled a little tighter around the door handle to the classroom. You very rarely set your foot down but you didn't want to wake him up. You didn't want him to leave you alone in the classroom. Even if he was asleep, he was still there. Derieri didn't seem all that bothered, shrugging her shoulders with her usual expression on display. Despite Derieri being unphased, Monspeet raised an eyebrow. 

Although you weren't shy by any means, Monspeet rarely saw you shoot someone down so aggressively. He didn't say anything about it, looking to Derieri for their cue to leave. Derieri didn't move from the hall though, she looked at you and then to your hands behind your back that held the door closed.

"That's fine." She really couldn't care less if Gloxinia was around or not but it was going to be an inconvenience explaining that both he and Drole were too busy. 

Although Derieri came to see Gloxinia she did want to see you too. Although you hung out with them on occasion you weren't like Elizabeth or Meliodas--you weren't a headache. She liked when Gloxinia brought you around because you'd let her sleep on your lap like Monspeet did and you'd always offer her food. The two of you weren't bffs by any means, you clicked better with Gerheade but she didn't consider you a stranger.

"We also wanted to know how your tests went. You have been studying, haven't you?" Monspeet reered around Derieri to speak to you, making an effort at small talk in her place. These two, out of the Zeldris group, were the ones you got along with best. Melascula was suspiciously kind to you and Estarossa was nice to everyone so you didn't consider yourself truly close with either of them.

"I have been." You smiled at Monspeet when he inquired, the tests reminding you of the candy you had on hold for Derieri. Although she preferred all things meat, you knew she wouldn't turn down sweets. You had slung your bag over your shoulder when you got up to leave the classroom earlier so you calmly reached in it and grabbed the cute box. "I trust you guys did fine, but I got some chocolate for you anyway." You extended the box to Derieri who took it without a word. Now all you needed to do was give King his.
