Chapter Text
"Hey Hey Prefect, I have a question for ya." Ace, was leaning against the table, eyes crinkled with amusement. You were attending the tea party at Heartslabyul, having been invited by both Riddle and Trey, despite not being part of the dorm, they had become rather close with you, making sure to include you whenever there was a party or celebration at the dorm. You were having a swell time, enjoying the treats and engaging with the others, until Ace spoke. Looking at Ace, you gave him a smile, "Yes? What is your question?" Everyone was quiet, having stopped their conversations to listen in. "You have been hanging around us for a while now, ever since you dropped in during the ceremony orientation, and it got me thinking. Out of all of us here, who would you go on a date with?"
'.....what?" The whole table was silent as they were left stunned by Ace's question, not expecting that at all. The one to break the silence was Riddle, "Ace! It is rather rude to ask a question like that, especially during an Unhappy Birthday. Riddle was not amused, his expression a bit miffed, but he wasn't in full on rage mode. Ace looked confused, "What? I'm just asking them a simple question, I don't see anything wrong." Trey, being the reasonable one of the group, tried to move the conversation to something else. "Ace, while I get you are just being curious, this isn't something to just ask out in the open, its better to ask something like this in private." Cater, however, had other plans, as he threw an arm around your shoulder. "Now now, I bet everyone else is as curious as Ace-chan~." Smiling at you, Cater held you a bit closer, causing you to flush a bit. Deuce, had to admit, he was wondering about it, but he knew that this was making you uncomfortable, "Prefect, you don't have to answer if you don't want to." Riddle's eyes soften listening to Deuce, admiring how he cared more about how you felt answering Ace. He, himself, was interested as well, but he respected your right not to answer.
Everyone was staring you, anticipating what you had to say. Seeing as you weren't going to get out of this, you thought heavily about your answer. Coming to a decision, you spoke, "Well......the person I like to go on a date with is......"
