A Misfit? | (Pomefiore!OC x Twisted Wonderland)

The brief walk felt like a decade. Lucien is walking steadily with a plate of cake in his hands, although it is not visible- his mind is preoccupied with intrusive thoughts such as dumping the cake right into Vil's face and watching in amusement as the beauty shriek in horror.

Too bad, Lucien doesn't have the guts to do so.

So, no cake for Vil? Lucien asked himself, he isn't that bad... I can feel his good intentions but I can't help but be sad about it. I want to talk to him... and I want him to make me understand what he wants but he is not being straightforward. His actions affect me too... I hope he knows.

Looking back, Lucien would feel jealous whenever he feels excluded whether it's about gifts or the little things like attention. Lucien could feel a heavy tug in his heart when he looked down at the cake. The thought of not giving Vil a share of his cake makes him feel empathy. Although Lucien had only known Vil for less than 3 days he low-key considers him as his friend.

Lucien managed to give away parts of the cake to certain people that he talked to during his stay of four days.

"I just happen to get my hands on this delicious cake but unfortunately I can't finish it alone. I thought I could share it with you," is what Lucien (thinks he) said. (In actuality he spoke so bad that it's inaudible.)

"Cake." Lucien's statement comes out more like a question.

Standing face-to-face with Vil Schoenheit is unreal. At first, everything was just an illusion. Giving a piece of cake to Vil was just a fantasy imagined by Lucien. Never would have Lucien thought that his body will move against his own will.

"I-I just happen to have some. It's not like I really want to give you this. R-really! And I have yet to forget what you said," Lucien whispered the last part. "It's alright if you don't want to ruin your diet or something... I can just eat it."

"If a cake is consumed in moderate amounts as a treat, I see no problem with it. That being said, I do enjoy eating cakes." Vil solemnly said as he took the plate out of Lucien's hands. Both sides were aghast with the progress of events as they did not expect something to happen.

Both Vil and Lucien stood still, not daring to break the silence with unnecessary movements but Lucien's impulsive thoughts have other plans.

"A-actually! I wanna say something... You can say anything positive or negative to me, and I'm glad you speak truthfully without a filter. I'm actually grateful that you say your thoughts directly to me face-to-face. When you told me to do something about myself I was hurt. I don't wanna change myself for you, so please bare with it. I think being Lucien Valentin is only something I can pull off." Lucien smiled, feeling a little proud about his statement before he gradually left Vil alone and stunned.

One of the things that Vil Schoenheit dislikes the most is people who neglect their image but he also disdains people who wish something to present themselves instead of doing something to achieve it. Lucien Valentin is under the faction of people who neglect their image. Lucien Valentin is an unpolished gem who refuses polishing but after the turn of events today Vil is awakened by a fact. People who choose to be themselves are better than those who change for other people. Lucien is stubborn yet Vil can't help but smile. Lucien Valentin is worth the attention of the queen of tenacity.

Now here's the plan: polish the unpolished gem.
