Twisted Wonderland x (Todoroki) Reader

The Lord of Malevolence

-3rd POV-

"Aether signal tracking successful. We have arrived at the designated coordinates." Ortho said, as they landed in the next dream.

"Ortho, thank you as always for your guidance. It looks like we're in...Heartslabyul?" Silver nodded at the boy, before looking around, seeing that they were indeed in Heartslabyul.

Leona on the other hand glared at the feline, "Hey, furball! What were you doin' tuggin' at my necklace like that? You almost strangled me!"

Grim glared back, "What? I wasn't tuggin' at nothin'! That jingly thing you wear and your hair were both smacking me in the face. I was just holdin' it down 'cuz it hurt!"

Sebek nodded in agreement, "True, your hair whipping in the wind blocks my vision. Next time we make the jump, you should tie it back!"

The lion male raised a brow, "Huh? Why should I do that? If anything's to blame here, it's our cramped transportation method. Do somethin' about that, radish sprout." He looked at the tablet, "You're the guy leaving us to do all the real work while you have a cushy gig workin' from the comfort of your dorm room."

"Uh? Buh? Wut?" Idia sputtered, "I'm evading Malleus's detection, coordinating with Styx HQ...providing you guys with support, and developing cheat tools. All concurrently. Who's the busiest guy here? Me! Me, and no one else! Got it?"

"Devising an improved user experience for a jump that takes literal moments is not high on my priority list. Maybe you should act your age, Leona, ever thought of that? Spare us the spoiled second prince act during a genuine emergency."

"You sure know how to cop an attitude when you're safe and sound behind a monitor. Think you can back that up the next time we meet in person?" Leona grumbled, before his eyes widen when he felt hands run through his hair, "What are you doing, herbivore?"

"Putting your hair up." She stated the obvious as she untangled his hair and tied it with her hair tie that she's been carrying around on her wrist since her hair has grown quite a bit while being in Sage Island.

He closed his eyes liking the feeling of her hand running through his long hair, before opening them again when the feeling was gone, grumbling to himself.

Ortho turned to the freshman, "Deuce Spade-san? You've been quiet this whole time. Did you pass out like Azul-san?"

"I...just..." Deuce muttered.

"You just...?" He and Silver repeated.

"I just became one with the wind!" He grinned, "It's incredible hitting that level of speed without a blastcycle or broom! It takes serious guts to take a curve in mid-air without any deceleration at all. The lateral g's almost blew me away, but I've never felt more alive! You rode with the wind and told gravity to get outta town. Silver-senpai, that was one of the best rides I've ever had!"

The silver haired male blinked, "I'm not really in control of my speed, but..." He nodded, "I'm glad you enjoyed it."

"Yes, I had a blast!"

"Not only is Deuce-san not ill, he's actually in higher spirits now." Ortho smiled.

"Okay, let's find who's havin' this dream. If this is Heartslabyul, that means..." The feline said.

"Oh, hey Deuce. And Grim and (Y/n)." A voice said, making them turn, "What brings you to our dorm?"

"Ace!" The feline and dark blue haired male said.

"Wait, you've also got Leona-senpai with you. And Ortho, and some Diasomnia guys..." Ace raised a brow, "Okay, what gives?"

"Well, uh...We happened to run into each other, and we decided to get together for tea..." Deuce lied, his eyes darting around.
