You Blush

A/N: Hey guys.

Now, I have stuff to say but I'll save it for the end.

BTW, this part is original/not part of the actual main game.

All credit goes to Disney/Aniplex/Yana Toboso but I hope you enjoy.

000 You Blush 000

It took the bell ringing and Grim tugging on your wrist to snap you out of your daze. You hurried putting the books away, folded your apron and gloves in a nice folded set, and put them in the sling strap bag Crowley also gave to you before you two headed to the cafeteria. Unfortunately, it was pretty damn crowded. All seven dorms freshmen filled all of the table seats and the lunch line was quite long.

"Ohhhh, my tummy demands sustenance!" Grim mewled loudly.

"And we only got a half hour too and this line has barely budged." You too felt your stomach grumble in hunger.

"Hahaha, oh lookie here. The handymen want their good work payed in food?" A familiar voice rang out in amusement.

"Grrr, I know that voice!" Grim growled. Both of you turned to see Ace sitting with another guy wearing a similar uniform as him and Ace looked too entertained for your taste. "We don't need your pity!"

"Ya sure about that? That line ain't changing any time soon. And sharing is caring, right?" Ace falsely showed concern from his face to his tone. Just as you and Grim both gave him crossed looks, Ace grunted in pain. "Oof! Hey! What the heck, Juice?"

"It's not Juice, it's Deuce, idiot!"

"Hey!"

Deuce, a guy with dark blue hair brushed mostly to the side while a portion hangs down on his right side, teal eyes, and a large black patch in the shape of a spade over his eye, ignored Ace and turned his face to you and gave an apologetic look. "Ignore my rude dorm mate. He has no manners, clearly."

"HEY! I can hear ya, ya know!"

"I'm Deuce Spade. And you've already met Ace Trapolla. You want to sit and eat with us? We got too much food so there's plenty to go around." Deuce asked.

"Really?" You and Grim asked in hopeful unison, making Deuce nod and grin. "Hazah!" You two sat across from them as Deuce slid to you a small plate of macarons before taking a teal colored one for himself then sipping from his cafe latte. You picked up a light red macron and took a nice bite, surprised by the sweet, cherry flavor. Ace chowed on his chocolate croissant just as Grim pulled a grilled chicken dish towards him, plus an omelet and bread and jam.

"Hey! Don't hog all of it!" Ace complained.

"The future great mage must refuel. All that grueling work demands payment ... IN FOOD!" Grim cried out before stuffing his face. "Mmhm! This chicken is so juicy! And this omelet, so cheesy and warm! This is all so good!" Grim's face lite up.

You and Deuce laughed at that while Ace was gobsmacked, trying to get Grim to stop before he choked himself. "So, if I remember correctly, you're not a student here?"

You already knew where this conversation would lead. "Let me guess. You saw us at the ceremony last night?"

"Um ... everyone in this room saw you two at the ceremony last night," Deuce reiterated, looking around to have you too see eyes on your table; particularly you. You groaned miserably as you buried your face in your folded arms on the table.

"Again, hahahahaha!" Ace held his stomach as he laughed at the memory.

"HEY!" Deuce and Grim snap out when Ace's popcorn sack got snatched up.
