Crazy In Love! [Twisted Wonderland]

Party Prep

It was the next day, and there was one day left until the grand Valentine's Day Bash. Classes ended hours ago, and Ace and Deuce found themselves at the Ramshackle dorm. However, this time, it was to prepare for said event. At this point, invites had long since been given to everyone at the school, and the eagerness among the students was growing with each following day. There would be posts on Magicam of students expressing their excitements, whether that be through their posts featuring their planned outfits or their excitement to let loose at a party.

Ace, Deuce, and Grim stood around a table full of treats and drinks. The treats glimmered in Grim's eyes, his eagerness to try everything in one go being evident.

"I'm so glad I'm a taste tester! Thanks, Yuu, for not making me do all the boring work!" Grim cried as he picked up one of the treats before throwing it up in the air and catching it with his mouth.

"I don't trust you anymore." Yuu said, away from the three as they were putting streamers on a chair. "You just made a mess of everything when I gave you the okay. Plus, I think you're better suited as a taste tester. Your little arms can only go so far." Yuu snickered.

"What'd ya say?" Grim asked, annoyed. "Well, whatever. You're just jealous. I'm taste testing, and you're not!" He huffed before looking away. Yuu wasn't phased by his words and shrugged before continuing on with decorations.

"Grim, you're going to get a stomachache if you eat that fast." Deuce said as he watched Grim put three things into his mouth all at once.

"Ppft, no way I'mph getting a stomach ache! I cwan eat fruor hundred of tbhese wifth no proberm!"

"...I don't understand you." Deuce sighed before turning to Yuu. "Are you really sure we can eat these?"

"Yeah," Yuu responded, "The ghosts want to know which treats are the best. That way, we can make a bunch of them for the party. Don't be shy and eat up!"

"Yeah, Dwuece, eaft up." Grim mimicked with a mouth full of food.

"..." Deuce watched as three small crumbs fell from Grim's mouth. "...I still don't understand you."

Ace watched the two in amusement, finding the situation funny before slipping a hand into his pocket. He felt around until the presence of an object brought him relief. "Still there." He thought to himself before looking back up at the two before him. After making the potion and slipping out of the alchemy lab, Ace returned to his room and looked at the potion in his hand. A pink tint enveloped Ace's face, and he watched as small bubbles rose to the top before disappearing into nothing. He poured the liquid into a vile before hiding it and the book alongside his basketball stuff and heading to bed soon after. No one knew of what he'd done the night before, and he smiled, knowing it was all moving swiftly. Ace's plan was as follows:

First, he would pour the potion into one of the drinks and hand it to Grim. Grim wouldn't suspect anything because if you took a good look at him now, he was engulfing everything in his sight. Also, he'd probably be thirsty after all those treats. Next, Ace would make sure it was just Deuce and Grim with one another, making it certain that Deuce would be the first person Grim would see. And assuming the potion was real, Grim would instantly fall in love with Deuce and go crazy for him, embarrassing Deuce till the end of time, or as long as it took to make Ace die of laughter. Pretty solid plan, right? Now, to make sure it happened.

"Hey Deuce, can you pour me a cup? I'd like to try the drinks."

"Pour your own cup." Deuce questioned. "If anything, the drinks are closer to you." Deuce was right, though, as the drinks were quite literally next to Ace.

"Poor Deuce, having no idea what's about to happen to him." Ace thought. "If you gave me the drink, I probably wouldn't have done this to you out of compassion." Ace then looked at Deuce. "Damn, okay." He responded.
