Twisted Wonderland (Male Reader Insert)

(Your P.O.V)

I was walking on the main street after teleporting myself. I know that I could have teleported to the Botanical Garden instantly but I just got the feeling to save up my energy and enjoy nature.

My hands are on either side of my dress pocket, striding towards on the cobblestone pathway as my heels click against it while my eyes wander around at the open area, blue sky that mixes with reddish cotton candy looking clouds. Breathing in the fresh air with a calming smile upon my face.

When suddenly I felt myself a bit lightheaded as my body moved on its own and I tripped against my heels. My eyes widened in bewilderment as I felt myself falling forward before hearing someone shouted my name following with running footsteps coming close.

"(Y/N)-SAN!!"

I felt my arms were grabbed, I'm guessing whoever it was, they were trying to help me regain my balance because I felt their grasp were pulling the opposite where I'm clearly falling to my death.. joke, because I don't wanna break my nose.

Though they tried helping me but my weight was not helping at all, so, I brought them down with me. Afraid of injuring them, I switched places with the smaller guy with a.. pair of hyena ears? So, he's on top of me with my arms around his waist protectively, as I let my back hit against the hard surface with a grunt coming from my lips.

Well, at least my nose didn't break, nor even injuring the beastmen that's on my chest. I mean, I did just hit my head but it's a good thing that I learned to soften my head landing years ago.

I shook my head lightly to shake off the dizziness as I looked at the hyena student with concern before speaking up, "Ruggie-san, are you alright?" I asked the male, as he looked at me in confusion with widened eyes, "Am I alright? Dude, you're the one who's practically falling on your head first, not me!" He exclaimed like I'm crazy or something.

I mean true, I'm the one who hit the hard floor but I'm more concerned about others than myself.

"Demō, you're the one who joined my fall, my weight pulls you in. So, I am more concerned for your well being, rather than myself," I pat his head as his ears flopped at either side of his head as his face flushed red in embarrassment or something. But no matter, his face was in deep shades of red colour... cute- wait, what?

He stood up immediately as he lent his hand for me to grab it. I did as gestured, as I slowly stands up, carefully not to trigger the dizziness again before brushing off my uniform. "Arirgatou na.. you're okay, right?" I asked again, scanning him from head to toe intensely, not realising that it makes the shorter male even more red.

He snapped me out from eyeing him so much, "A-alright alright, that's enough undressing s-someone so who's a lowlife like me. And don't worry, I'm a tough guy!" He exaggerated, brushing off the red face he had just now.

"Ruggie-san.. who called you "lowlife"? I didn't even say that."

"E-eh? I mean, I am p-poor and all-"

*summoned a sword* "Commencing to eliminate scumbags-"

"Ch-chotto chotto mattē, (Y/n)-san! There's no one who called me that! That's only me!"

... "Ruggie-san, don't talk so lowly of yourself. I can help you to buy things."

He looked so shocked somehow before looking rather.. angered, pissed, and upset. He lets out a threatened growl, "I don't need your pity, (Y/n)-san. Why would you even bother to help someone who is not royalty nor even have enough money to pay anything. Just so you know, I don't think that you would want to be friends with someone who's poor to the core like me," he exclaimed so defensively.
