(Bet you fuckers didn't expect Cardin to be one of the regular guys turned into femboys, albeit he's more like a Tomboy then a regular girl. Even better though)

3rd person pov

Coming back to the dorm room rather late Y/N dragged his feet and slowly lowered himself onto his bed, using his hands to support himself before letting out a breath and attempting to relax.

However this was interrupted by Neo suddenly popping up behind him and wrapping his arms around Y/N's neck loosely. This was met with him tiredly shrugging him off.

Y/N: Not today... I'm tired

This reaction was nothing like what the mute expected from Y/N. Normally he'd freak out even just a bit, but this, this wasn't fun for him. Who was taking all the fun away from this?

Mercury: You alright man? You're alot more docile

Y/N: Been studying with someone who offered to help, but it's been taking all my energy

He laid down, not even bothering to take off his uniform and placed his pillow over his head to block out any light and sound in order to hide out the world so it's be easier to fall asleep.

Even Emerald was faintly taken aback, although it seemed like a nice change to him to have the teen be more quiet. This caused what some could considering considering be worry to pop up in Neo though.

Emerald: Guess your little friend isn't in the mood to play, huh?

When the next day came around he started to follow Y/N after class. The teen seemed to be looking around cautiously before trying to walk off quickly only to be interrupted by a certain red head.

Standing there, with his hair tied in a braid that loosely hung over his shoulder, Pyrrh took a moment as the teen looked at him in confusion but impatience, wanting to get somewhere, or away from here.

Pyrrh: Are you... okay? You've been hanging around with team CRDL alot

Y/N: What does that matter?

Pyrrh: I know I'm in no place to tell you who you should keep as company, but they just seem to be using you.

Y/N: You've got the wrong impression of them, but why should I listen to you?

Pyrrh: I'm just trying to be kind! Jeez, be a jerk then

Upon seeing the red head walk off Neo knew who to turn his attention towards but decided to continue to discreetly follow the source of his fun to find out what he exactly does with CRDL.

In an attempt to try and get away Y/N started to speed walk but the back of his collar was grabbed by someone around the corner and he was dragged towards him, a dull look on his face as he knew who it was.

Waiting for a second Neo listened to hear a few pairs of footsteps retreating before moving up and peaking down the hall. To his displeasure they'd somehow disappear, irking the mute.

And so he began to search, not actually knowing where team CRDL's dorm was as he wasn't bothered enough to remember. The halls were packed with students, most going back to their dorm rooms but none were the ones he wanted to find.

Travelling through the crowds he slipped past everyone masterfully, not bumping into anyone in the process while most just felt a slight breeze pass them but couldn't seem him due to his short stature.

Timeskip

Y/N: Why do I have to put so much effort into this?

Cardi: Because it won't feel good if you're too gentle

Y/N: I'm too tired for this...

Cardi: Hey! You keep this up or I'll make you do it

Right outside the dorm was Neo with his his ear pressed right up against the door, and on his face was a completely void expression, although his eyes held what could only be called fury at what he was hearing.

And to only compound on the anger at the source of his fun was being used by another, he heard soft grunts coming from inside the room only making his assumption worse.

Climbing to his feet he took out his own scroll and connected it to the lock on the door, with a subroutine running that hacked the sensor which unlocked the door for him.

He then opened the door, expecting the walk in on something only to find Cardi standing over Y/N while helping him by holding up a barbell, the teen looking sweaty and a bit tired.

Cardi: Wha- how the hell did you open the door!?

Y/N: Neo? What... what are you doing here?

The mute looked around the room, finding homework and some exercise equipment, although nothing that he was expecting causing him to slowly back up only to walk off.

As he did he heard another pair following, no, catching up it him. Mulling it over for a second he turned to see Y/N who forced himself to come to a sudden stop, needing a moment to keep his balance.

Once that happened he went to speak only for Neo to hold his hand up before gesturing to the dorm with a confused expression, trying to figure out what was going on there.

Y/N: ...Okay, look. Me and him got off on the wrong foot but he's a nice guy, and I- I dunno, I accidentally mentioned that I feel... inadequate

This made the mute pause for a second only for a bit of confusion to wash over his face, trying to figure out what he ment by "inadequate" causing the teen to sigh dejectedly.

Y/N: It's you guys. Emerald's basically always looking down on me, you only come over when you wanna mess with me and Mercury- he does his best but he treats me like I'm a kid. Cardi offered to help me build some confidence if I helped with his homework, it's not all that bad

Neo started to back up once more, putting on an indifferent face as he just went back to the dorm with Y/N let out a breath and ran his hands through his hair, with Cardi coming up behind him soon after.

Cardi: May not have been easy to tell him that, but it took confidence

Y/N: Don't have the confidence to go back there though

Cardi: You can figure it out, I trust you

Straightening his back he glanced over his shoulder to Cardi before beginning to walk, needing to find a certain someone first. As he did, was it really worth saying it to Neo so early?

It may help stop them from continuing it later, although that is if Neo would actually communicate that to them, or if he even could as Y/N had heard no sounds coming from him once.

Thankfully it didn't take long but the teen eventually ended up outside a dorm causing him to knock on the door, lightly crossing his arms only to let them drop to his sides, unsure of what to do with them.

After a hot minute or two the door opened to reveal a shortish ginger hair guy, with said hair stopping mid way down his neck, and a curious expression sitting on his face as he confidently crossed his arms.

?: Can i help you... wait, what's your name again?

Y/N: It's Y/N

The shorter male's face started to scrunch up as he was about to laugh but he was quickly dragged away by an unseen person and was replaced by Pyrrh who'd let his hair down showing it was rather long, complimenting the rather captivating green eyes he had.

However this wasn't the time for such things and instead he removed those thoughts to the best of his ability. Beginning to avert his gaze from the red head his hands started to fiddle with eachother once more.

Y/N: I wanted to- no, it's-

Pyrrh: Take a deep breath, focus on what you want to say

Y/N: ...Sorry. You were just trying to show concern, and that was no reason to get short with you

Pyrrh: Apology accepted. I should've been more tactful with my approach

Y/N: You really do have the wrong impression though. Sure, Cardi's got some "interesting" opinions but he's a nice guy, just kinda rough around the edges

Pyrrh: I'll take your word for it. Would you like to come in?

Y/N: No- I got a few more people I need to talk to like this... sadly

Pyrrh: Well good luck, but maybe you'd like to hang out with me sometime?

Y/N: Uh, oh! Yeah, that-that sounds great

This elicited a giggle from the red head as he stepped back and waved gently, the door closing a second later while Y/N just stood there, soon starting to walk down the halls and back to his team's dorm.

However as he did a few "interesting" ideas popped up in his head, which was a mixture of the wording Pyrrh used and his reaction to the teen's response. Eventually he stopped dead in his tracks and needed a moment or two to process all this, his brain going through a few leaps and bounds to try and arrive at a conclusion.

Y/N: ...Did he just ask me out?

(Lemme know what you think.)
