Twisted Wonderland Moments

🐿💤Sebek's Squirrel companion (Yuuma/Sebek💙🐈‍⬛🐊)

In the Harveston event, Sebek had that stuff squirrel toy. I got an idea that maybe he sleeps with it

"Yaaawwn."

Yuuma stretched herself as she left her bedroom. She glanced back at Grim, who was fast asleep on her bed. She smiled softly at the cat, chuckling quietly at his little snores.

The prefect glanced around the hall, still half asleep. "Hmm. Looks like everyone is still asleep." She concluded, keeping her voice quiet. Some of her friends were asleep from their sleepover last night. Which meant a good time to prepare breakfast for them.

But first, the prefect wanted to wash her face and brush her teeth to wake up a little. She hated the bad taste in her mouth after waking up. She started making her way to the bathroom, rubbing her eyes. However, she bumped into something firm but not firm enough to hurt her.

"Oi! Human!"

The prefect stood back, glancing up to see Sebek in his pajamas, glaring down at her. 'Well, so much for peace and quiet.' Yuuma thought in her head. "Good morning, Sebek." She grumbled, rubbing her ears from the ringing.

"A fine morning!" He greeted her back loudly, making her jump from the sudden volume in his voice. She shot an annoyed glare at him, rubbing her ears again to soothe it. "Lower your voice. You'll wake the others up."she warned him agitated. Of all the people to wake up first, it had to be Sebek with a voice louder than Grim himself. Sebek scoffed at her, not believing that his voice was that loud. Her human ears were just too sensitive in his view.

"Why are you up, Sebek?" She questioned, walking past him as he watched her. "I have woken up to get my hair done. While it is a chore, I can not appear untidy before the young master." He explained to her, proceeding to the bathroom.

She remembered that Malleus had come for the sleepover, too. She smirked to herself, finding it amusing how Sebek was concerned about himself mainly for his 'master'. Nevertheless, as long as he kept the volume down, he won't bother her as she prepared the food.

However, she felt her foot bump into something soft. Glancing down, she found it to be a stuffed animal. She reckoned it must've been Sebek's presumably and that he dropped it when she bumped into him.

"Hey Sebek. You dropped something." She called out to him, glancing briefly at the item until her eyes widened in surprise, prompting her to turn her face back to it. It was a stuff toy squirrel with colorful handmade made patches. And it looked very familair.

"Hm? Ah. I was wondering what was missing." He noticed, turning around to collect it. "Thank you." He took it without waiting for her to give it to him, but that wasn't Yuuma's concern right now. She was still progressing where she had seen that stuffed animal. She remembered keeping one like that in her room.

"If you are done staring, then please move out of the way, prefect!" He demanded firmly, finding her gaze at him bothersome.

"Hey Sebek?"

"What is it now?" He sighed in a grumpy tone, hugging the stuff toy closer with one arm. Yuuma looked up at him and back at the toy. This looked very familiar to her. Back at their trip in Harveston. The gears were clicking in her head, and the memory she was searching for was finally found.

"Is that the magic stuffed animal you use to pull the sled back in Harveston?"

"Yes. What of it, mortal?" Sebek questioned her unbothered, standing upright and holding the toy close to him as if he were proud to show it off. "And you slept with it in bed?" She questioned further, her blue eyes widening as the sleep started to leave her.

"Yes, I have." He responded casually about it. However, he did have a strange feeling here. The way she seemed so surprised kind of made him uneasy inside.

The corners of her mouth perked up into a wide smile, and her blue eyes brightened. "Awwww! Sebek!" She awed fondly, making him look at her bewildered. 'Wasn't she tired just now?' Sebek questioned in his head, a bit startled by her change in mood.

"That is so cute! Does Malleus know?" She asked, pointing at the toy. I an instant, Sebek's face reddened in embarrassment, and he glanced at his toy, quickly hiding it behind his back. "N-No! The young master knows nothing of Sir Acorn!" He denied it firmly. The fae regretted having shared too much information with the excitable prefect right now. If anyone knew that he, the students that served his housewarden, slept with a stuffed animal like a little child,he would never hear the end of it.

"And you named it?! Awwww! You're in love with it!" She gushed, cupping her face. "Lower your voice, human! And stop looking at me with those eyes of yours! They're frightening me!" He ordered, finding her sparkling blue eyes bugging him. Sebek had no clue why she was looking at him and looked that so happily.

"What is it going on down here?"

Sebek froze, and his eyes grew huge in horror when he heard that familiar voice behind him. He turned around while Yuuma looked over him to see Lilia coming out of one of the guest rooms.

"Why are you both so loud?" He questioned curiously, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Sebek cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure around the sleepy vice housewarden. "Good morning, Lilia. I was going to tidy myself up when the human -" he tried to explain calmly, but another voice stopped him, making him freeze.

"I thought we discussed this, Sebek."

The green haired fae reluctantly turned around to Yuuma's direction, and the prefect followed suit to find Malleus leaning against the doorway in his pajamas and hair messy while crossing his arms. And yet he still knew how to make himself calm yet imposing, even when he had just woken up.

"That you wouldn't throw every accusation at the prefect." He reminded his classmate disapprovingly. Sebek smiled nervously, trying to make an excuse, but the words were lodged in his throat.

Malleus sighed at him before glancing his green eyes to Yuuma. "Child of man. Perhaps you can explain for us please?" He suggested, getting the prefect excited. She turned back to Sebek, who looked at her terrified. He revealed his secret to her, and to make it worse, she had Malleus's respect and trust. He was at her mercy now. To his dread, the prefect grinned at him sinister like, her eyes shimmered ecstatically as she answered.

"With pleasure, Malleus."
