Y/n's pov

I just arrived in the nurse's office but there was nobody there. Riddle also fell asleep in my arms. 'Poor rose, he must be so exhausted'. Well, this is fine, he just needs to rest so I went toward a bed and placed him on it.

I then looked at his sleeping face before smiling 'Aww~ He's too cute for my heart.'

I got closer to his face as I caressed his cheek 'Still, poor darling. I guess i kinda see myself in him.'

I stood there but i didn't expect what happened afterwards as Riddle subconsciously hugged me, surprising me and bringing me closer until our lips met. 

I turned around but Riddle tightened his hold on me, now hugging me from behind. I think he's having a bad dream, he seems tense so I relaxed in his clutch, making him do the same.

"I'll stay with you until you feel better but" 'I'm gonna keep the other event that happened for myself.' I could feel my face heating up at the memory.

Riddle's pov

I think we are in the evening. I was in a bed, I was holding something and it made me feel at ease. I opened my eyes and was inches away from Y/n's face. It took me all the restraints in the world to not scream as my face became red. 'She deserves a rest too.' 

I pulled my hands away from her and looked at her serene face 'She truly is beautiful'. I then placed a hand on her cheek "I think i'm the best person to know what you went through but i still think you turned out better than i did. I think i'll follow your steps from now on. Thank you."

...

The H/c sneerred, earning a confused sound from me. "That was so sweet of you~" she opened her eyes.

My face felt hotter "Since when were you awake?!"

"Since when where you awake?" She replied.

'All this time!?' "Anyways, what are you doing in bed with me?" I tried to stay calm.

"I needed the warmth of another being~"

"What?!"

She smirked "Kidding~ you pulled me in bed with you."

I stayed silent 'did i really do that?'. At this point, my face must be as red as my hair.

She stared at me then said "Strawberry."

I looked at her confused.

"You're as red as a strawberry."

She didn't let me reply and continued "Your favorite desserts are strawberries ones,  right. Personally I like (flavor)."

"Where are you going with that?!"

She chuckled.

At night, I went back to the dorm and she left too.

3rd person's pov

After all the incidents that happened, it was finally the day of the apologetic unbirthday party. 

"All hail our leader, the Red Sovereign himself... Housewarden Riddle!""We salute you, Housewarden Riddle!"

Just like the first time, the Heartslabyul students did their part.

"Hm. The garden roses are red, the tablecloths are white... This seems a proper unbirthday indeed." Riddle commented.
"Is there a dormouse asleep in the teapo- Er, well, I suppose it's fine either way." Riddle caught himself.

Y/n smiled and Trey chuckled "Not everything has to change completely, you know. Like, maybe spread the jam on your scones, instead of on the dormouse this time? Let's try to set the bar at "it's great if it's this way," not "it absolutely has to be this way.""

"Yes, that makes sense." Riddle smiled.Ace cut in "So what happened to that tart, Housewarden?"

Y/n kicked him in the kneecap, making him fall. Deuce and Grim laughed and Cater took a picture.

"Y/n, please no violence." Trey reprimanded her.

"I made it for you, as I promised I would. Here: one strawberry tart, crafted by yours truly." Riddle was proud of himself.Y/n looked at it 'Maybe it's my contradiction spirit but I don't want strawberries right now.'

She was happy she didn't taste it after all as the others gulped, complaining about the saltiness of the sweet.

"But I followed the rules exactly, and measured everything precisely! Unless... Oh!
Could it be... from the oyster sauce?" Riddle tried to comprehend. 

"Why the hell would you add oyster sauce in a dessert?" Y/n asked.

"Oh right, you weren't there with us." Deuce remarked.

"Trey played a prank on us, saying that ouster sauce was a secret ingredient of some grand chefs." Grim explained.

Riddle looked at Trey who started laughing "I can't believe someone actually fell for it."

"Did i misjudge you, hubby?" 

Trey choked on his spit.

"Hubby?" Riddle asked.

Trey laughed it off as Y/n replied "Don't worry, you're still number 1 in my heart~"

He blushed then cleared his throat "B-By the way, since you told me about your preferences, I made this...without oyster."

He pulled out a white, red and black box and gave it to Y/n "As a thank you for all the help you granted us with."

She opened the box and there was a F/f cake, it looked kinda nice. She hesitated a little but took a bite.

"...Not bad actually."

Riddle seemed relieved "Really?!"

She was eating "Yeah, with a little more experience, I'll place you on the same level as hubby."

Trey and Riddle looked at each other as if exchanging a wordless conversation. They then nodded at each other then smiled.

"By the way, Trey. Since Cater seems to prefer salt to sugar, you could consider making other kinds of desserts for the unbirthday party, no?" 

Cater gasped "How did you know, N/n?"

"You finished your plate." She blatantly said. 

They looked and he effectively ate the oyster tart.

"I've been exposed." He playfully whined.

Trey chuckled "Sure. I could maybe make a quiche."

"Already sounds delicious~" a cat boy said as he was eating the food.

"Che'nya? What are you doing here? This isn't even your school. Shouldn't you be at Royal Sword Academy?" Riddle bombarded him.

"Yes. Our school are basically rivals. You being here could escalate some problems."

As if on cue, some Heartslabyul students overheard the conversation and started talking about "running the pompous jerk outta here."

"Well, I've had my tart so I'm good to go~" He said as he ran off and made sure to brush against Y/n in the process.

Y/n looked at the students running after him then asked "Why are the school rivals?"

"The vast majority of Night Raven College students perceive the Royal Sword Academy as the enemy." Riddle started.

"No surprise, given that they've kicked our butts every year for a hundred years straight..." Trey continued."Hey, stop harshin' the vibe! This is supposed to be a day of celebration. Can't we all just enjoy our unbirthdays?" Cater stopped them.

Y/n thought about that other school some then let it go. She went back to eating her special cake.

She smiled 'The cake Riddle made just for me.' Failing to notice the blush adorning her cheeks.

The unbirthday party went on and everyone was enjoying themselves, unaware of a certain lion's plot.
