Chapter 16 - Grand Theft Tart

While Crowley was scolding them, he gave the whole speech about Yuu and Grim now going to the school as one student and giving the ghost camera, sorry, forgot to add that one.

Previously on Genius In Distress: (Yuu's POV)

Alice took a small step back, surprised at the violence they spoke of. "Goodness!" The three of clubs spoke; "And so, we're painting the roses red." 'I could have sworn I was asleep in my dorm...' I thought, still confused on how I was here. The scenery started to blur and flicker out of sight.

POV: 1st person (Yuu)

'Who is pounding on the door this late at night?' I thought, rubbing my eyes. Grim stirred too. "Myaaah... Hey Yuu... I know it's the middle of the night, but I think we've got a visitor. Maybe it's those pesky ghosts again? They just don't know when to quit." Grim grumbled, still half asleep.

I stretched slightly as I got out of bed, going to the entry hall. I walked silently but quickly, not wanting to disturb Y/n's sleep. I arrived at the entry hall. I could see a faint silhouette behind the fogged glass of the door. 

"Who would be here at this hour?" I mumbled. Grim sat snugly on my shoulder as we heard a familiar voice from the outside.

"It's me, Ace! Just let me in, all right?"

That shook me awake completely. What on earth, or rather Twisted Wonderland, would Ace be doing here at ... 3AM? I opened the door anyways. 

"Ace? It's the middle of the night! B-bwah! That collar!" Grim shrieked out, practically voicing out my thoughts. I could hear faint footsteps from behind me. I turned my head around a bit and saw a sleep-rumpled Y/n coming down the stairs. She looked absolutely adorable with her hair all tousled, clothes rumpled and her sweatpants had one pant leg up half her shin, showing off her smooth, s/c skin.

I turned back to Ace after I gave Y/n a small smile, seeing he had his eyes on her too. I felt a surge of protectiveness within me. He shook out of it and continued his tangent. "I can't go back to Heartslabyul House. I'm joining your dorm. For good."

This seemed to wake Y/n up completely. "Myah?! Come again?!" Exactly Grim, WHAT?!

We moved to the lounge. Ace was sprawled across one of our couches, taking it in completely when Grim asked the million dollar question.

"I'd recognize that collar anywhere. It's the same one that psycho stuck on me at orientation! What'd you do to get shackled with that?" 

Ace went silent for a bit before mumbling out a reply, barely loud enough for all of us to hear. "I ate a tart." We all fell silent now. I glanced at Y/n, who sat beside me and I saw her giving him the most devastating astonished look. I had to refrain myself from bursting out in laughter.

"Are you serious? You gotta be fucking with me. I didn't wake up at the asscrack of dawn for this shit. A tart? A tart." I looked at Y/n as she said that in the most astonished yet slightly angry voice I had ever heard. The way she said it made me think of Bang Chan from Stray Kids when he found pineapple in his burger. I had to refrain once again from laughing.
