little moth

"Ta-da!" The students cheered as they opened up the door to Eilir's room. The entire side of the dorms was cleared out, leaving four empty spaces for them to work with. Thankfully Nezu handled all of the funding. Instead of the first option of just decorating them all separately, Cementos just broke down the walls separating the rooms. They weren't even sure when he got there, he kind of just appeared.

Opening up the rooms gave them an opportunity to design it however they saw fit. Two-thirds of the room was taken up by a giant jungle themed playset, leaving the other portion for sleeping. A huge fake tree covered the corner of the room with what looks to be a hollowed-out resting area in the center of it. And of course, a bed for a student near the tree, it was just a regular bed. Fuck them teenagers, they aren't special. 

The walls surrounding the patios were now replaced with just windows that could only be opened partly, mostly to avoid Eilir jumping out. They learned their lesson the first time. Apparently, moths can't see glass.

A giant drawstring bridge ran across the room, ropes secured it to the ceiling, one end attached to the main play area and ran into a hole in the tree. Plenty of slides and climbing material laid scattered around, creating a perfect child-friendly jungle. Mostly, child-friendly jungle. There was even a small pond attached to a waterfall in a far-off corner for Wasabi.

Eilir's eyes opened slightly wider than usual as he stepped into the room. His mouth fell agape as he took in the wonderful setting in front of him. Even if the students couldn't directly see his emotion, his excitement was evident in the way his wings began to flutter.

A happy croak could be heard as Wasabi rushed to the pond. The students resisted the urge to coo as he submerged himself in the water. 

"Mine?" Eilir asked before looking back at the crowd behind him. A slight twinkle in his eye.

Quickly nodding, the students gestured for him to go look around.

Not wasting another second, Eilir ran into the room with a small smile. One of few they've ever seen.

--------------------

"Are we attending a funeral or something?" Shinsou asked with a raised eyebrow. A small bowl of cut fruit rested in his hands as the elevator shut behind him.

All nineteen students were sprawled across the hall with defeated looks on their faces. Despair was the only word that could describe the atmosphere. It was worse than the time Kirishima lost his crocs.

A shakey arm raised from the littered floor and pointed to the closed door nearby. "Eilir...choose...the devil...over us..." Sobs could be heard as they were reminded of the betrayal. They cried more in the span of five minutes it took Shinsou to grab Eilir a snack than they did when Bakugou was kidnapped. Compared to this, the kidnapping was nothing.

"Uhhh..." Shinsou stood staring at them confused before walking around them. And possibly walking on Denki in the process. "Okay then, well I'm just going to make sure Eilir doesn't like starve or something..." His voice began to trail off. Walking with his back to the door, he slowly turns the knob behind him. As soon as the door opened, he slammed it behind him, not wanting to risk the depressing atmosphere to ruin the jungle sanctuary. 

Releasing a sigh of relief, Shinsou turned to face the giant room in front of him. His eyes swept across the large area before a muffled sound of giggles hit his ears. Smiling softly, he walks up the small stairway connecting to the tree house. 

"Ei, I brought you food." His hand knocked against the fake wood as he stood on the opposite side of the hidden door. He silently thanked whoever designed the tree. In the front there was a huge hole connected to the bridge, allowing anyone to either walk or fly inside. A small door was hidden into the side to allow for easier access, and for safety precautions. 

The room itself was not very extravagant. A singular hammock rested hanging from the ceiling, a clean water stream ran from a faucet and into a small pond, and worst of all, there were no lights. Seeing as how Eilir doesn't need them to see, they kind of just cut out lights from the budget. So good luck to anyone who isn't nocturnal. 

Not hearing a response, the teenager shrugs and allows himself in. 

Ah, no wonder his classmates were upset. 

Staring at Monoma in distaste, Shinsou felt his face contort into one of disgust. It was easy to say the two had a mutual dislike for one another. And totally not because Zihao choose Shinsou to join 1-A and not him. Totally not, that'd just be petty. Pfft, Monoma would never be that pe- no. He totally is. 100%.

"HA! What is this?!" Monoma's voice came out overexaggerated as he held a small teacup in his hand. A light pink boa rested on his neck and shoulders, as well as a pearl necklace. Despite his current uhm appearance, he remained rather cocky. 

Not even bothering to deal with the attitude, Shinsou rolls his eyes. "Here Ei, its apples and strawberries. And yes, they're cut like little bunnies. And yes, the juice is from Mr. Aizawa's private stash." Ignoring the loud blonde, he gently places the plate on the floor in front of Eilir. 

The poor kid was just as confused as Shinsou at Monoma's attire. Eilir didn't even know what a feather boa was, let alone a tea party. He just assumed the sad male was trying to copy his fur patch. No judgement here. 

Nodding happily, Eilir immediately reaches for the bowl and places it in between his legs. Swaying side to side, he eats contently. His eyes bore into the wall as he stares off into nothingness. 

"Can I have a pie-"

"No."

"Plea-"

"No."

"Just on-"

"Fuck off."

Shinsou turned his head as he covered his mouth with his hand. Letting out an unholy snorting sound, he made a mental note to buy Eilir a new toy after this.

To be honest, I ran out of ideas for this story :D but don't worry, I'll think of something at three a.m. 

I am also writing a Bungou Stray Dogs fanfic, it should be released sometime in April!
