See? So no need to worry about challenging Leona to a duel ♪
He really does get excited when you praise him, like a puppy getting a treat. Maybe be a bit nicer to him in the next study session. { He still has to look out for his underclassman after all }
I'm sure he'd never let it go too far
{ he laughs to himself quietly, a little amused by the pout }
He's a loyal card soldier first. You should see how he gets when you praise him
of course, I'd never let it get to such a point.
( with crossed arms, the rosehearts pouts. was the feeling territorial or protective...? hard to say. )
He sent me back photos from when he visited Sunset Savanna and I could've sworn I was looking at a Savanaclaw student rather than a Heartslabyul student 💧
Still though, he looks like he's having fun with Leona. I'm sure not much harm is being done
riddle looked overjoyed by the offer, truly. a type of childish happiness that was rare to be found with the queen.
yet here it was, shining bright before deuce.
❝ I'd like that. ❞ he'd love it, truly. but he couldn't confirm. not realistically anyway. but oh could he dream..
"It 𝘪𝘴." Deuce can almost taste the memories, but the bitterness that usually follows them bites a little less as he looks at the redhead.
"I should take you! I could ride up to Crimson City on my blastcycle and steal you away for a bit this summer. I think you'd love it."
❝ popcorn? ❞
the queen was utterly soft as he stared, taking in deuce's story with the same wonder as a child.
such a tale was filled with so much warmth and small joys...how could he not smile? not feel a little envious that he didn't know what it was like?
"It grows on you." A small chuckle at that expression. It's weird- he's so used to seeing Riddle dignified and queen-like, yet here he was, watching someone a year older than him experience soda for the first time.
"The best time to have soda is like, when watchin' movies. With
riddle's eyes shot wide, his face gone a bright shade of red at the sudden enclosing of his space.
❝ what??? ❞
he looked at yuri as if they'd gone mind, though there was a layer of amusement in his expression.

" good. "
once again, their face found the very crook of his neck, nuzzling onto it before inhaling obnoxiously loud.
" man you smell SO GOOD i could become a backpack just to sniff you every day. "
another attempt to make him laugh, hopefully effective.
ᅠ
ᅠ
❝ right. fizzy. ❞
he smacked his lips, taking a moment to adjust before going back in for more. oh if riddle knew all the pouty confused faces he was making.
❝ it is sweet. just... weird. ❞
Okay, Deuce can't 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 hide his amusement at the reaction, but sue him- Riddle looked really cute like this.
"𝘍𝘪𝘻𝘻𝘺, right?" A small sip of his own drink. "You don't gotta finish it if you don't want to."
without another word, he tipped the drink back, taking just two sips.
his reaction was immediate. face scrunching before opening back up. he opened his mouth, trying to deal with the utter strangeness of carbonation.
❝ oh. okay. ❞
right. he'd heard of this before. soda... riddle desperately wanted to look normal and just drink it already, but there were natural apprehensions.
well, he already established he trusted deuce. no need to break such words now.
He hums happily at the clink, bringing the bottle to his lips and throwing his head back, taking a good 3 or 4 gulps of the soda before pulling back to breathe.
"Ah~" A pleased noise before he glances over at Riddle, only barely managing to hide the amusement on his face.
