Y/n was currently in the Heartslabyul lounge, flipping the pages of a huge book in front of her. It was the end of school and Riddle was currently giving her a lesson about the queen of hearts and her rules.

The girl has reached the pages of the 700th rules when Riddle stopped speaking which made her look at him confused. "Are you even paying attention?

She raised an eyebrow "Of course, i'm listening to you."

Riddle sighed "We haven't been here for a long time but you've already reached the 700th rules. Actually, you've been turning those pages without interruption. Are you really reading? And final point, i am explaining something to you and you are mostly paying attention to whatever it is that you are doing."

Y/n chuckled which made Riddle mad but she explained " This is a neurodivergent quirk of mine, if you want me to learn multiple things, teach them all to me at one then i'll remember each one of them. Also i'm a faster learner than most people and i have perfect memories."

Riddle raised an eyebrow at his turn "Really? Rule 25"

"There must always be a tea party on the 5th day of every month."

"Rule 256"

"No drinking honey-sweetened lemonade after 8 p.m."

"Rule 412"

"When you see a pair of moving glasses in the forest, never go back the way you came."

"Rule 703"

"Anyone who comes in second in a croquet tournament must serve the queen tea the next day."

"Tell 3 informations about an unbirthday party."
"The roses must be red during an unbirthday party. On an unbirthday party, spread jam on a woken-up dormouse's nose. Also rule 562 says that one must never bring a chestnut tart to an unbirthday tea party."

Riddle smiled "Good, you're not deceiving me. Now, let's continue until you memorize all 810 rules."

'Now that i think about it, in japanese "810" can be read as ハート (heart)'

"Speaking of unbirthday parties, we are holding one tomorrow. You seem implied with the dorm so i'd like to invite you, Y/n." He said.

'My name sounds nice coming out of his mouth.' "I'd be honored to join the festivities, Riddle."

Y/n's pov

Just as i finished with Riddle, he excused himself, dorm leader work or rulebreaker. I thought about going home when my phone signaled i had a new notification. I looked at it and saw a message from Deuce.

"We're going to the botanical garden. Will you come?" It read.

I smiled before relying "I'm coming."

I went back in the mirror chamber but i didn't know where the botanical garden was. 'I'll just ask somebody.' As i thought, i spotted somebody coming in front of me. 

He was wearing a hoodie over his school uniform and had long blue hair that resembled flames. He was mumbling to himself "Why do i have to do that."

'Hades.' I thought. "Excuse me." I interpelled him.

He shrieked and tried to make himself small, well we're almost the same height but i got the message, introvert.

"Sorry..." I took some steps backward to create some distance between us so he would feel better and he seemed a little less tense. "Uhm hi,i'm Y/n. What about you?" I spoke in a sweet tone like to a scared little kitten.

He stayed silent for a long moment but i didn't lose patience. "...Idia..." He finally whispered and fortunately i've been able to hear it.

"Idia, that is a pretty name suiting the owner." He blushed a little and the edges of his hair became pink.
