Trust Issues [Twisted Wonderland Various x Yuji!Reader]

Chapter 5

"Now that (Y/n)'s back, let's get back on topic," Trey said, once (Y/n) sat down. "Sorry, I couldn't help but say hello to a familiar face" (Y/n) apologized with a sheepish smile. "Just warn us next time," Trey said while crossing his arms, giving (Y/n) a stern look. "Anyways, the purple and red armbands are the Pomefiore colors," he said as he pointed to another table.

"Woah! The girl with the potion books, I really like her!" Grim said as he eyed Epel. "What's she doing in a boys' school?!" Deuce asked in disbelief. "Huh? This is a boy's school?" (Y/n) asked, having just realized that now. "Of course, it is. Why else would there be no girls here? Besides, there aren't girls officially enrolled here" Ace explained as he shook his head.

"WHAAAT?!" Deuce and Grim exclaimed, loud enough for Epel to hear. Confused, he briefly glanced over to their table, earning a cute wave from (Y/n) and an apologetic smile. Hesitantly, Epel turned back to his food, deciding to ignore the table for now. "Speaking of girls, there's a portrait in the west hall who's a real beauty, though not as beautiful as (Y/n). Name's Rosaria" Cater said as he swung an arm over (Y/n)'s shoulders again.

"If you'd like to meet her, I'd be happy to introduce you. Maybe we can go on a double date" he suggested to Ace. "A double date? With who?" (Y/n) asked innocently. "He's talking about you, dumbass" Sukuna snarled, earning a wide-eyed look from his vessel. "Ha?! Me?!" (Y/n) exclaimed loudly, earning a wide smirk from Cater, as he hugged (Y/n) close.

"Like hell, I'd like to go on a double date with you! Especially with a painting! I don't care how cute she is if she's two-dimensional!" Ace exclaimed with a disgusted look. "Hey, that's rude, even if she's two-dimensional, she still has feelings" (Y/n) said with a stern look. "I didn't mean it like that! She's just... You know, not my type!" Ace reasoned, trying to worm his way out of the argument.

"Anyways, they take vanity pretty seriously at Pomefiore. It's basically a dorm full of models" Cater explained, getting back to their earlier conversation. "I mean, based on those two students, I can believe it" (Y/n) commented as he analyzed how pretty Rook and Epel are. "Well, they're not all just pretty faces, the students at Pomefiore are among the best at potions and acting curses" Trey reasoned as he defended the dorm students.

(Y/n) perked up at the word "curses" only to realize Trey meant something else. "Next, we have Ignihyde... Their armbands are blue and black, but I don't see any around here" Cater said as he glanced around the cafeteria, deciding to let go of (Y/n) for now. "They tend not to be the most outgoing of students. Even I don't have a single friend from that dorm" he said as he let out a sigh.

"That's... Kind of sad" (Y/n) mumbled with a slight frown. Even he has friends, despite his disinterest in making new ones at the moment. Not because he doesn't want to, but because he feels like he's replacing Megumi and Nobara. "They sound gloomy and miserable" Grim noted casually.

"Hey, no need to put it like that! They just have a reputation for being quiet and serious, is all" Trey scolded Grim lightly. "That dorm tends to attract magical-energy engineers and students who are good with tech" he explained to him. "Oh, I guess that makes sense" (Y/n) commented as he nodded in understanding.

"And that just leaves... Diahonyalara, was it?" Deuce asked, attempting to remember the dorm's name. "I don't think that sounds right..." (Y/n) mumbled with a sweatdrop. "That's because it's not right. The dorm's name is Diasomnia" Ace corrected them. "I know that! I just misspoke, all right!?" Deuce exclaimed, attempting to defend himself.

"Sure..." (Y/n) said with a blank look, showing he didn't believe Deuce at all. "Diasomnia House is, hm... Ah, look over there. Those guys in the special seating area" Cater said as he pointed to a table. "Woah, they look so cool" (Y/n) gushed as he stared at the students Cater pointed at. "That's because they're basically campus celebrities, their armbands are neon green and black" Cater explained to him.
