[ Of all the places to have a mix-up, and in a cold region too— he's pretty annoyed when he ends up finding another housewarden already occupying his room's bed, and of all the housewardens, it's Leona Kingscholar??
Of course, Crowley is no help, having just disappeared for a ski trip and the resort that the students have all been packed into having mixed up the rooms for the housewardens which has resulted in this. They were supposed to have their own rooms, not shared ones!
And now there's a blizzard outside which is making it impossible for them to even go out to their own dorm-mates. He can't even get Rook in here to help chase off Leona, though Ruggie can't get in here either...
Honestly, he's so tired, this is going to look horrible on him if he can't sleep! ]
The bed is big enough for you to stay on your own side, Kingscholar! Move yourself at once!
[ He is inconvenienced and annoyed that his mix up had to be Schoenheit of all people. He's loud and annoying, a complete hinderance to getting a good nights rest. But he was here first, as expected. So he has already laid claim to the bed. The entire thing. He will survive, surely, but will his newly found roommate fair the same? ]
No.
[ That's it before he stretches himself out again. No one is here to tell him to do otherwise, and if Vil wants in the bed he can move Leona himself! ]
Finders keepers, Schoenheit, I made it here first.
[ This shameless prince!! He narrows his eyes and climbs onto the bed while picking up the extra pillows to shove against Leona's back. ]
Until our rooms are sorted, this is our room, not just yours, you repugnant prince! And for your sake, you'd better have bathed before laying down! I will not have you contaminating the bedsheets and causing my skin any trouble!
[ The last thing he needs are skin discolorations! Unfortunately for Leona, Vil is strong, so he's setting up his pillow barrier while pushing him off to the side. ]
[ After their...strange field trip encounter. Being back at the school is refreshing. He can nap in peace and only run into Vil at housewarden meetings. Neither of them speak of the instance that came betwixt the both of them and perhaps that was for the better?
Whatever, today Leona has chosen his napping spot as the garden, near plants and herbs that people WOULD commonly come here to gather.
His ear will flick at any footsteps, he knows Ruggie's by now...and a few select others. ]
[ If there's one thing he's exceptionally good at, it's making it seem like there is absolutely nothing wrong at all with him. If even Rook, who watches him more closely than anyone, can't tell anything is off, then he must be doing a good job of it.
It's been some weeks since that trip, and he definitely hasn't wanted to think about it. But at least coming to the botanical garden gives him something of a distraction, and since he's not a beastman, it's not like he can tell by scent that someone is here. No one should be at this time, anyway.
He's just going to busy himself with gathering some flowers he needs and humming to himself. ]
[ He doesn't need to see him, or smell him. The very tune Vil is humming could be heard by anyone with ears. Footsteps, and the voice itself dictate who has trampled onto his sleeping grounds...yet again.
He opens one eye and watches the gathering for now, any closer and Leona is liable to be stepped on, or completely disturbed.
He wonders, briefly, if Vil always hums to himself when he is alone. ]
[ It is nearing close to when he tells his dorm members to start wrapping up for the night. He himself called an early evening for his beauty rest, but also...
He's not sure why he's still considering heading to the Mirror Hall and sneaking into Savanaclaw. Of course, he wouldn't be seen, but he would be smelled, considering the number of beastmen there. And that would raise more questions... of course, if he used an obfuscation charm, that scent would be concealed until he got to Leona's chambers and why is he seriously considering this this is not worth the trouble they'll both get into???
He has dressed down into a simpler outfit for his evening routine, a light lace up shirt and casual pajamas that he can pair with an indoor sweater, and his hair up. He can still be presentable even before sleeping, and he did finish up his skincare regimen...
Agh, no, he shouldn't. But he does decide to walk to his balcony, so he can at least get some air. Yes... clear his head some, and not harbor any wild thoughts.
Never mind that he's glancing down at where their broomsticks are stored, considering summoning his up here... ]
... this is foolish.
[ No, he shouldn't, this is ridiculous, and he has no reason! No reason at all!! ]
[Leona is just built different in the way that he doesn’t care. He tells Ruggie nothing short of, “Don’t bother my room tonight”, and ends up leaving when the dorm is asleep.
For Leona even to put in this sort of effort is wild. What is his point in doing this? He’s not sure. He’s just sure enough that the two of them had unfinished business, and he hates unfinished business.
He grabs his own broomstick and somehow slips Rook on the way in. Surfing in on his broomstick to where he knows Vil’s balcony is located. How fortunate is he that Vil is standing right on the balcony.]
[ Never mind that he probably has his broom in his hand and is heavily considering just going for it but also— ]
!!!
[ No way. The sleepiest of all lions is here and—
If someone opens their window that's a perfectly clear view of him here! To his credit he makes no sound, but he does quickly dismiss his broomstick and take a few steps back. ]
[ There's a bit of a tiny commotion today. Seems like there's a dorm leader visit— and though he hasn't come alone, the other two are lingering behind as they talk.
Vil, on the other hand, has already sent word he is requesting a meeting with Leona, though he does have an official excuse with needing him to actually show up for dance and modelling practice. Which he's handling personally and professionally. But also—
He's watching the crowds of murmuring underclassmen, some who seem to recognize him and some who both do and are pretending they don't. And some who look nervous. Ugh. He knew it! ]
If he sleeps through this again, he'll have another thing coming!
[ He assumes that, possibly, being a minute late could get him punished. Not that he cares or knows how that threat would come to fruition. But Leona shows up, exactly one minute late to that practice that Vil so kindly asked him to come to.
1) It is entirely incredible that he even showed up. 2) He actually dressed the part, too.
He stands in Pomefiore's ballroom, tail swishing back and forth. Ears lifted in such a manner that he KNOWS he is asking for it. ]
[ It's been a few months since they began their "arrangement", and so far it has been quite... decent. They've been as they were, yes, but they've also been seeing each other outside of being housewardens. Even if a lot of their meetings have been framed as such.
(The physical intimacy has been quite intense, too.)
While people have definitely picked up that whatever is happening between them is more than just acquaintanceship, no one's been quite able to detect what is going on. There seem to be sightings of them sitting just close enough to suggest, fingers touched, hands held, and yet...
It's been fine. Vil hasn't denied it to Rook, who already knew.
But lately, whether it's some turn of the season causing it or some other frustration, they'd ended up bickering more than usual. Vil getting angry at Leona's lackadaisical attitude for things he finds important- Leona getting frustrated with Vil. All of it culminating in what ended up with them like this.
It was a pretty bad fight, one neither of them likely even remember how it began. Rather, it resulted in feeling offended at all his hard work being spit on, and Leona feeling as though he just isn't good enough and lashing out at Vil being judgmental.
(All either of them really wanted was to feel like they actually mattered and weren't being taken for granted.)
Vil had tried, at least, as much as he could have without growing too vulnerable- he was indeed, caring for Leona in ways he usually did not give others. He missed him when they were apart, and even if he was harsh, there was usually concern behind his actions.
But they probably went too far and hurt each other this time... so it's been some days since they've seen each other. He's hardly been able to focus, even if he seems like he's in control as usual. Rook's noticed, but he doesn't want to talk about it.
Does this mean they're breaking up? Leona hasn't even tried to contact him, and he found himself lingering outside Savanaclaw's mirror, then hesitating.
He's also casually dropped by on Spelldrive practice, with the excuse of checking on Epel (he usually does not)... but that jerk. Why is he even doing this?
Ugh. He feels foolish. And he ends up on the garden near Main Street, since most students have returned to their dorms by now. The sunset is nice from here, and he has homework to read, so he'll... just do it here.
The fact that Leona usually naps here has nothing to do with it. Hmph. ]
[ The argument lost sight of itself once they started to get petty. Both of them not knowing the limits of their bites. The arguments started off small, and now? They've gone so far that the both of them parted their ways right then and there.
Leona certainly wasn't sure whether this meant that they were split up for good, or...just needed their space.
Leona decides not to bother him, then. Maybe they really only were a fling. Maybe they just aren't able to do the whole dating thing. Leona figures that perhaps he wasn't enough to keep Vil interested in him.
He doesn't attend classes again, something he was almost getting better at. He's back to showing up whenever he wants, having Ruggie hand in his work, and sleeping out in the Gardens again. Any time he's seen Vil it was awkward eye contact and one of them retreating. ]
... ?
[ So why in the Seven does he hear Vil's footsteps in the garden today? He's probably imagining it.
[ It's one of the rare times that he's agreed to a shoot for an ad during his school days. Fortunately it coincides with their spring holiday, so they have about two weeks off before they have to worry about their mid-year exams.
The shoot itself is taking place in a town nearby, since the decor and setting was fitting for the pictures they wanted to take. Vil also wasn't going back home for the holiday since his father wouldn't be there, and he didn't want to be alone.
At least this way, since he knows Leona isn't going anywhere, the two of them can go on dates without being bothered.
Only... it looks like some tourists who came to visit the idyllic town have discovered that he's doing some shoots here, and he's pretty sure he's been followed. The people in question following happen to be much larger than him, but it's nothing he can't handle. He's still surrounded by security, after all.
It isn't until he has to step away for a bit to take a call, that the trio that he's sure has been following approach, saying they've been waiting all day to meet him and the least he can do is give them a look or a wave! Vil is polite, telling them he's not doing a meet and greet, but he's grateful they support him, and tries to leave, when they get incensed that he won't stay and talk further.
He can't risk being rude and ruining his PR, but these guys are making it incredibly difficult, and he can't see his security detail around... ugh! ]
[Leona himself originally wasn’t going to come along to this small town shoot. But Vil seemed like he might want the company. Most days he’s just been sleeping on and off during the day, and it’s been nice. Especially with winter break.
He gets the feeling he’s going to be needed elsewhere today. Vil had stepped out of the building long enough ago that it was cause for worry. The security aren’t move fast enough for Leona so he wanders off to search for himself.
Even if he knows Vil can care for himself.
Once he comes across the scene at hand, he’s placing his body between the three punks and Vil.]
[ Every time Vil has to pay a visit to the Savanaclaw dorms, the students there end up being a little more courteous than they would be. He is the housewarden of Pomefiore after all, and no disrespect should be shown to him.
But he isn't usually without Rook Hunt by his side— and definitely not walking side by side with Leona, who is often tailed by Ruggie.
Who is also not here, but lately the dorm members have started to recognize Leona's scent on Vil enough to not risk angering him and at the same time, giving him some more care than they would without.
Vil is holding an envelope over his books, and it looks like the housewardens are going to have a meeting or study together. They're heading up to Leona's chambers though. And once they are in there, Vil shuts the door, going to set his books aside. ]
... they're friendlier now than they used to be. Do you suppose they've figured it out yet?
[ That they're together. The Savanaclaw boys tend to be a little slow at times. ]
[ Today it was by request that Ruggie go find somewhere else to entertain himself, and he certainly maybe asked that Rook do the same. It is fine, though. The two housewardens are just going to have a study date.
“Study” date. Though there were a few matters at hand before he is really permitted to focus on the things he wishes to focus on.
He raises a brow once they are behind closed doors.]
They should know what it means, if they ain’t stupid.
[ Vil has his scent on him, and Vil is over more often than he used to be. He wraps an arm around Vil’s waist, nose pressed to the side of his head contently.]
[ After they've arrived at Sunrise City in Sunset Savanna, settling in doesn't take too long. Though they all have to stay in the famous Sunset Villa Hotel, which is... so much nicer than he remembers last. Unfortunately he has to share the place with Kalim, Jack and Lilia, so he doubts he'll get the privacy he wants with Leona, but- he's patient.
That's why today, a day before the Sunset Warrior tournament, once they've gotten some time after exploring around and getting their beast attire, Vil changes into something more inconspicuous and heads to Leona's hotel room, since he'll be staying there instead. He's also made sure to not look too much like Vil Schoenheit, so he's got his hair up in a messy bun once he steps out and a light hoodie top with shades that he transformed from the nice cardigan outfit he left his room with.
Once he's entered the room though, he pulls off his evening shades, since he had the extra card key, and snaps his fingers to return to the outfit he was wearing before going over to find Leona. ]
It's a good thing Lilia has gone to the markets with Kalim... I came back early. Mr. Kifaj was a lovely tour guide.
[Though he couldn’t wager for Vil to stay with him the whole time, he is glad that perhaps they will get to share some intimate moments with one another at night, after the sun sets.
He’s been wrapped up in preparations and dealing with his unruly nephew. It’s clear Leona has always put up a front when it came to dealing with his nephew and his brother.
Once everything has settled down for the night he is happily resting in his room, awaiting the arrival of Vil. Once he does arrive he’s just watching him talk and pace about the room. He’s very handsome, and the way he’s watching him says as much.]
I’ve got a few places I can take ya that he won’t.
[ There is a hint of a smile behind that. He’s very happy, prideful even, that Vil is seeing his home.]
[ Before they could be caught, all of them ran off together, piling into Leona's car and racing off in a wonderful savanna drift that had the rain splashing on their faces- and the wind in their hair as their laughter echoed across the fields. And what a delight of a time it's been. He knows Mr. Kifaji will be quite displeased with Leona but he did his duty, didn't he.
And together with Lilia and Kalim, they all head to the Elephant Legacy, where they have a grand time at the springs- it does wonders for his swollen ankle, though once the celebration and mischief is done, he does have himself checked out to ensure he didn't do any damage to himself.
Fortunately, it's just a light sprain for the effort that hyena warrior hit him with, and he's been advised to take it easy for a few days. And they did have arrangements to have an extra day off after the tournament so they won't miss classes.
Now, they're back at the hotel, the day's excitement all wearing down and Leona makes the excuse for Vil that he'll keep him from running around too much and steals him away to his room. Kalim suspects nothing and if Lilia knows anything, he's saying nothing.
So Vil is just laying in bed, resting his ankle which is now bandaged and in his soft pajamas as he watches the news coverage of the event. Everyone is enjoying the rainfall and celebration, and he's shown on TV a few times. He looks so spectacular that he's almost sad to leave the Sunset Warriors outfit behind. ]
They certainly made me shine. My Magicam notifications haven't stopped since.
[ Did Leona make sure that the news camera folks wouldn't make him look unflattering? Surely not, right? And there's no word about his injury either.. ]
[ Leona did his duty, and more! At least that is what he thinks. He honestly can't believe what a weekend this has been. Though he won't admit it, bringing his schoolmates here ended up being one of the best moves he could have ever made.
After their joyride, and their time at Elephant Legacy, they can finally rest again. Leona is tired, but not tired enough to sleep just yet. Instead, he's resting next to Vil who he slipped into his room at the excuse of making sure he didn't strain his ankle any further. Honestly, what kind of guy gets hit that hard and then proceeds to say nothing? ]
Didn't want word of your injury gettin' too far past the hotel. So you can thank me for that much.
[ Leona does reach to pull up that pant leg, wanting to check out his ankle. ]
[ Well, it is the next day, and the final day until they have to return to Night Raven. It's been an eventful trip, and he's shopped, packed, sent off his luggage ahead- Lilia and Kalim have also been doing some last minute shopping and exploration, and now that they've all gone off with Kifaji and Jack to enjoy their last night here before travel tomorrow, Vil's accompanying Leona in his car.
It's not the one they took a joyride in, but just as spacious and comfortable- a luxury four wheel drive. His leg's feeling a lot better today at least, and he expects he'll be walking proper by tomorrow.
At least now, they can reminisce a bit. ]
What's out here?
[ He asks. Leona drove them out somewhere, but he's not sure where they're going among these open plains. Is he taking him somewhere special? ]
Not planning on abandoning me somewhere now, are you?
Drivin' you to the best spot in the savanna, obviously. Promised ya that we would look at the sunset and the stars, didn't I?
[ He knows the best spots, and often a spot that he would go spend time alone in. He is happy enough to share this place with someone as special as Vil. He isn't going to say all of that out loud or anything, but he believes his actions are truer than anything else anyways. ]
We're comin' up on it.
[ He drives them up a rocky terrain, it is similar to Pride Rock, but it seems to have a better view of the sunset, at least in Leona's opinion. ]

« unwanted attention »
The shoot itself is taking place in a town nearby, since the decor and setting was fitting for the pictures they wanted to take. Vil also wasn't going back home for the holiday since his father wouldn't be there, and he didn't want to be alone.
At least this way, since he knows Leona isn't going anywhere, the two of them can go on dates without being bothered.
Only... it looks like some tourists who came to visit the idyllic town have discovered that he's doing some shoots here, and he's pretty sure he's been followed. The people in question following happen to be much larger than him, but it's nothing he can't handle. He's still surrounded by security, after all.
It isn't until he has to step away for a bit to take a call, that the trio that he's sure has been following approach, saying they've been waiting all day to meet him and the least he can do is give them a look or a wave! Vil is polite, telling them he's not doing a meet and greet, but he's grateful they support him, and tries to leave, when they get incensed that he won't stay and talk further.
He can't risk being rude and ruining his PR, but these guys are making it incredibly difficult, and he can't see his security detail around... ugh! ]

He gets the feeling he’s going to be needed elsewhere today. Vil had stepped out of the building long enough ago that it was cause for worry. The security aren’t move fast enough for Leona so he wanders off to search for himself.
Even if he knows Vil can care for himself.
Once he comes across the scene at hand, he’s placing his body between the three punks and Vil.]
If ya know what’s best for ya, I’d go.
[ He warns them. ]
I ain’t as nice as Schoenheit.

« far from home »
But he isn't usually without Rook Hunt by his side— and definitely not walking side by side with Leona, who is often tailed by Ruggie.
Who is also not here, but lately the dorm members have started to recognize Leona's scent on Vil enough to not risk angering him and at the same time, giving him some more care than they would without.
Vil is holding an envelope over his books, and it looks like the housewardens are going to have a meeting or study together. They're heading up to Leona's chambers though. And once they are in there, Vil shuts the door, going to set his books aside. ]
... they're friendlier now than they used to be. Do you suppose they've figured it out yet?
[ That they're together. The Savanaclaw boys tend to be a little slow at times. ]

“Study” date. Though there were a few matters at hand before he is really permitted to focus on the things he wishes to focus on.
He raises a brow once they are behind closed doors.]
They should know what it means, if they ain’t stupid.
[ Vil has his scent on him, and Vil is over more often than he used to be. He wraps an arm around Vil’s waist, nose pressed to the side of his head contently.]

« onwards to home »
That's why today, a day before the Sunset Warrior tournament, once they've gotten some time after exploring around and getting their beast attire, Vil changes into something more inconspicuous and heads to Leona's hotel room, since he'll be staying there instead. He's also made sure to not look too much like Vil Schoenheit, so he's got his hair up in a messy bun once he steps out and a light hoodie top with shades that he transformed from the nice cardigan outfit he left his room with.
Once he's entered the room though, he pulls off his evening shades, since he had the extra card key, and snaps his fingers to return to the outfit he was wearing before going over to find Leona. ]
It's a good thing Lilia has gone to the markets with Kalim... I came back early. Mr. Kifaj was a lovely tour guide.
no subject
He’s been wrapped up in preparations and dealing with his unruly nephew. It’s clear Leona has always put up a front when it came to dealing with his nephew and his brother.
Once everything has settled down for the night he is happily resting in his room, awaiting the arrival of Vil. Once he does arrive he’s just watching him talk and pace about the room. He’s very handsome, and the way he’s watching him says as much.]
I’ve got a few places I can take ya that he won’t.
[ There is a hint of a smile behind that. He’s very happy, prideful even, that Vil is seeing his home.]

And together with Lilia and Kalim, they all head to the Elephant Legacy, where they have a grand time at the springs- it does wonders for his swollen ankle, though once the celebration and mischief is done, he does have himself checked out to ensure he didn't do any damage to himself.
Fortunately, it's just a light sprain for the effort that hyena warrior hit him with, and he's been advised to take it easy for a few days. And they did have arrangements to have an extra day off after the tournament so they won't miss classes.
Now, they're back at the hotel, the day's excitement all wearing down and Leona makes the excuse for Vil that he'll keep him from running around too much and steals him away to his room. Kalim suspects nothing and if Lilia knows anything, he's saying nothing.
So Vil is just laying in bed, resting his ankle which is now bandaged and in his soft pajamas as he watches the news coverage of the event. Everyone is enjoying the rainfall and celebration, and he's shown on TV a few times. He looks so spectacular that he's almost sad to leave the Sunset Warriors outfit behind. ]
They certainly made me shine. My Magicam notifications haven't stopped since.
[ Did Leona make sure that the news camera folks wouldn't make him look unflattering? Surely not, right? And there's no word about his injury either.. ]
no subject
After their joyride, and their time at Elephant Legacy, they can finally rest again. Leona is tired, but not tired enough to sleep just yet. Instead, he's resting next to Vil who he slipped into his room at the excuse of making sure he didn't strain his ankle any further. Honestly, what kind of guy gets hit that hard and then proceeds to say nothing? ]
Didn't want word of your injury gettin' too far past the hotel. So you can thank me for that much.
[ Leona does reach to pull up that pant leg, wanting to check out his ankle. ]

« sunset in the savanna »
It's not the one they took a joyride in, but just as spacious and comfortable- a luxury four wheel drive. His leg's feeling a lot better today at least, and he expects he'll be walking proper by tomorrow.
At least now, they can reminisce a bit. ]
What's out here?
[ He asks. Leona drove them out somewhere, but he's not sure where they're going among these open plains. Is he taking him somewhere special? ]
Not planning on abandoning me somewhere now, are you?
[ Again. Like he did with all the shopkeepers! ]
no subject
[ He knows the best spots, and often a spot that he would go spend time alone in. He is happy enough to share this place with someone as special as Vil. He isn't going to say all of that out loud or anything, but he believes his actions are truer than anything else anyways. ]
We're comin' up on it.
[ He drives them up a rocky terrain, it is similar to Pride Rock, but it seems to have a better view of the sunset, at least in Leona's opinion. ]
