The NRC school festival was on the horizon, and you were dreading it. Azul had offered you a bonus if you handed out flyers during the festival, he even told you you could wear what you want, but having to deal with crowds was seriously irritating. Apparently a really famous guy was going to be there and was expected to draw a huge crowd. NRC's own Vil Schoenheit was expected to bring in almost as many people as the other famous guy. A lot of people would kill to have the in you have with the school, and Azul could probably get you into any event if you asked, but you didn't care about two pretty boys singing and dancing like show monkeys. Still, you dragged yourself to the festival for that sweet coin. You wore a flowy black skirt, a white strappy bralette top, and a pair of black ankle boots.
"Looking good, Sea Bunny!" Floyd greeted you in the Lounge. He was filling up a big tank with one of Mostro Lounge's most popular drinks.
"You're gonna carry that around all day?" You knew Floyd was strong, but you didn't know just how superhuman he was.
"Well, until I get bored of it!" Floyd's inability to care about anything was honestly inspirational to you.
"Come find me when you do get bored. I'll ditch the rest of these stupid flyers," you grab the stack of flyers Azul left on the bar counter for you. "Wish me luck, I'm going in," you head out to get started on your extra job.Most of the people who actually take flyers are desperate boys. After a few hours, you've given away about half of them. 'It should be fine if I take a break now,' You remember that Azul's club has a booth at this thing. 'Hehe, maybe I can another get a little glimpse into that guy's private life. Ah, wasn't that shy dude I read about in the club too? Guess he won't tell me anything about Azul, but I still want to meet his other friends~' By the time your train of thoughts came to a stop, you were already at the board game club booth.
"Azuuuul~" the feminine voice startles both Azul and Idia.
"Eek! Azul-shi, t-there's a girl here!" Idia whispers, hiding behind Azul.
"Y/n, you should be handing out flyers!" You show him the stack of brochures.
"Got rid of half of them. Day's still young, thought I'd take a break. Aren't you happy to see me~" you tease.
"Well, I don't mind your company, but this guy..." Azul gestures to the hiding Idia. "This guy isn't good with new people."
"I don't bite unless asked," you joke. The guy's blue hair goes red at the tips.
"Y/n! P-please keep it clean!" Azul begs.
"Sorry, bad habit. Got time for a game of whatever? I'll play anything, especially card games," Idia looks petrified, silently begging Azul to make you go away. Unfortunately for him, Ortho notices that the booth has a visitor.
"Hello! Welcome to our booth!" He flies in, leaving you awestruck!
"ROBOT?!? SO COOL!" Ortho is used to reactions like this.
"Do you want to play something with us? We have a lot of options!" Idia stands up, pushing Ortho away.
"A-a-actually, I have to give my speech soon, sooo...." Idia grabs Ortho and takes off, leaving you alone with Azul.
"Strange man. Got any two player games?" Azul goes to sift through his game selection.
"There's always chess," you make a face at this.
"Too smart for me. Ya got anything that's more on a high school dropout level?" Azul chuckles.
"Don't sell yourself short, Y/n. I happen to think you're a very intelligent young woman."
"Heh, guess someone needs to have faith in me," the two of you settle on some game where you buy properties, very fitting for Azul. He kicks your ass. "I want a rematch!" You whine. Azul gets out of his chair.
"Some other time. The VDC is starting soon. I have an extra ticket, come with me," he offers you an arm. You get up and rest your left hand in the crook of his elbow.
"I'm not really interested in it, but I guess it's something I can brag about. Hehehe, now people can be jealous of what I have instead of the other way around~" you have an evil sparkle in your eyes. You allow Azul to escort you to the stadium.NRC's group finishes their performance. Thunderous applause ring out through the stadium, hurting your ears.
"What did you think of our school's best performers?" Azul asks when it finally quiets down.
"They were good, but to get this kind of reaction... that Vil must be a really big deal."
"Yes, well, he's well known for his beauty..." Azul sounds a little insecure when saying this.
"Yeah, he's good looking. Not my type though. Too unattainable. Looks high maintenance," Azul looks away from you to hide his smile, relieved you have no interest in that popular guy. "Think I got time to go to the bathroom before the next performance?"
"If you're quick," you dash off towards the hall of mirrors. There was no way you were using whatever public bathrooms they had set up for the unwashed masses. Octavinelle's bathrooms would have to do. You finish up as quickly as possible and book it back to the stadium. Jade and Floyd have joined Azul since you left.
"Did I make it?"
"You're just in time," the introduction for Royal Sword Academy starts."That was terrible. Why are people going crazy for that?" You're completely exasperated by the saccharine little kiddie performance Vil's so called formidable opponent just put on.
"The cuteness, the warmth, the familiarity, can't you see, Y/n? They wanted to touch the audience's hearts, not dazzle them with inhuman talent," Azul explains.
"Well, I didn't ask to be touched. They sucked," the performance was so bad it leaves you in a sour mode for the rest of the competition. When the time to vote comes, you aggressively tap NRC's vote button."I can't believe those dorks won! This is an outrage!" You can't stop complaining to Azul and the twins. Your overblown reaction gets them laughing.
"Accept defeat, Y/n, the best man won!" Azul teases.
"Have some pride in your damn school!" You yell back. The boys listen to you bitch about the results the entire way back to the Mostro Lounge. You immediately crash on the couch in the VIP room when you get there. "God... so tired... and I still have to walk home ugh," you quietly whine.
"Eh? Just stay here for the night," Floyd offers.
"I don't have any of my shit though."
"We can provide anything you need," Azul adds.
"Ughhh.... fine. I need a phone charger and a toothbrush and toothpaste."
The boys easily supply you with your needs and get you situated in your usual room in the dorm. "One day you gotta show me around the whole dorm. I've only seen a small part of it," you take off your boots and leave them by your bed.
"How about tomorrow?" Azul asks. You smile at him.
"Works for me. I have no other plans!" Azul and the twins get ready to leave you so they can also go to bed.
"Goodnight, Y/n," Azul says for all three of them.
"Night. Oh, Azul, I had fun today. Thanks for hanging out with me," Azul's heart soars at these simple words.
"You're very welcome!" He smiles and closes your door behind him. Azul is beaming the entire way back to his room. Floyd and Jade tease him, but this time he blocks it out. He's too pleased with himself to care.
