Dragon Knight (Apple of my eye)

Dream Epel runs by, smiling...

"What is the meaning of this? What in the world are we seeing?!" Sebek exclaimed, shocked af and rightfully so.

Grim blinked out of his stupor "... Come to think of it, Epel's always talkin' about how he wants to be all big an' strong like Jack."

Silver cleared his throat "I think I get it. He had no trouble imagining a muscular frame since he sees them among his fellow freshmen every day. But he lacked the imagination to envision his own face with a proportionate level of musculature. That makes sense."

"How does ANY of this make sense?!" Sebek retorted "Does he not stop to question the oddity of his own appearance?!"

{From what I understand, people tend to be oddly accepting of bizarre phenomena inside of dreams.} Ortho replied.

Idia hummed {Still. Epel's got a pretty weak imagination. If we're lucky, we'll have an easy time waking him up.}

"How so?" Sebek asked.

{It's pretty much what I said. Epel clearly looks out of place to all of you, right? Shoddy craftsmanship equals more exploitable vulnerabilities.}

Silver nodded thoughtfully {Hm. So that's how it works. In that case, maybe a heavy shock to his system would help. Sebek got jolted awake by a strong punch.}

Sebek grumbled a bit "It's a bit heavy-handed, but I can't deny it worked for me."

"All right, let's catch up to him, quick!" Grim exclaimed but then immediately paused because "Uh... Y/n?"

Y/n had been silent this whole time. He sat between Maleficient's and the Evil Queen's statue. He looked pale, eyes dull and expression distant...

"... What is happening to him?" Sebek actually whispered.

{... I think he is having an emotional shock from seeing Epel like this.} Ortho explained.

"I am fine..." Y/n lied, voice quiet. They then disappeared before their very eyes, surprising them.

Y/n then reappeared directly in front of Epel, causing the... bigger boy to kind of run into them which made them both stagger back a bit.

"Huh?" Epel regained his footing and smiled at them "Ah, Y/n! Good morning!"

"Good..." Y/n tried... They really tried... but looking up at his face... They just couldn't do it "Wah!" They put their hands over their face.

"Wh- Y/n?!" Epel was startled.

"Oh my God. Dream Epel gave her a mental breakdown..." Silver rushed over to Y/n and placed a hand on his back.

"Look what the dream did to the apple of my eye..." Y/n whined, burying their face in his chest "I can't even look at him!"

"I know, I know. It sucks..." Silver rubbed circle on his back.

Epel's brows furrowed a bit "What're y'all talkin bout? What 'dream'?" He rubbed his head and tried to step closer "Is he-"

"Ah! Back off!" Sebek stepped in front of him, blocking his path "You are not allowed to put a single finger on Y/n-sama! You might make it worse..." He mumbled that last part, eyes narrowing.

"What???" Epel's frown deepened, and he wasn't sure if these people were f*cking with him or something "How would ah???"

"Uh. Cause of how you look?" Grim huffed.

Epel gave him a look "Hah?"

"You're, like, one of the shortest guys in the freshman class." Grim went further "You're barely taller than me!"
