Meanwhile at the Octavinelle dorm, Head dorm, Azul Ashengrotto is sorting through contracts from his clients in the V.I.P room letting out a dramatic sigh with a bored look as he threw a piece of contract in the trash bin next to his desk.

"Another boring request. Most of the contracts I made a deal has something to do with the exams tomorrow, but good grief. Aren't there any more requests that are actually dece-"

While complaining about the same boring requests he received, something caught his eye when he grabs a contract and takes a good look until his eyes widen.

Froze in shock, Azul starts to quiver with his brows furrow feeling the rage flowing in his veins.

"What the hell is this?...'Make Gloriane fall in love with me'?" Azul grumbles as he crumbles up the contract threw to the trash bin. Frustrated, Azul takes a deep breath and exhale out trying to regain his composure and adjust his glasses.

"...Whoever this bottom feeder is, deserves to be cursed." He snaps clenching his fists against his desk pissed by the contract he seen.

"If anyone's going to make Ophelia fall in love, it has to be me. No one else!" Azul rants. Soon the door opens and Azul glance up to see the twins.

"Azul. We've managed to finished with today's tasks at the Mostro Lounge." Jade informs.

"Excellent. Now you all know what's next right?" Azul reminds them.

"Why yes. Today's the day we will meet Angelfish as you requested." Jade told him with a polite grin.

"Indeed. Even though we have an exam tomorrow, I believe we have time to meet with our siren." Azul informs.

"Ne ne Azul. Does that mean I could get to hug her now?" Floyd ask giddily.

"Floyd. We'd discuss morning. Ophelia is mine and mine alone. You will not lay your hands on her. Ever." Azul reminds him.

"Eeeeh? But I wanna!" Floyd whines with a pout and Jade chuckles.

"Now Floyd. Let's just wait until we meet Angelfish and once we do, I'll take her to our dorm as our pure little siren." Jade reassures him and that perked him up very quickly as he crept a huge grin.

"Hai~." Floyd replies with a giddy smile.

"Yes and no matter what..."

Azul then puts his fedora down and rise up from his seat when he flashes his slick smirk that screams out "obsessed".

"She will never swam away from us again." Azul vows he lets out a low chuckle along with the twins.

"Come now. Let's meet with our siren." Azul orders.

"Hai~." The twins complies they left the V.I.P room where their quest to search for their precious siren began....

Meanwhile at Heartslabyul, Riddle was at his desk doing paperwork as usual.

First I noticed Trey's feelings for Rabbit yesterday at the coliseum. Now Cater's acting weird around her? Just what the hell is with those two? Don't tell he's falling for her too?!

Riddle thought curiously while writing down his paperwork deeply freaked out by their sudden change of behavior towards Gloriane.

Soon he heard a knock from the door.

"Who is it?" Riddle ask.

"It's Glory, Riddle. May I come in?" Glory ask curiously. Riddle's eyes widen and spins his head to the right to make sure he has a gift for her before turning back to the door and clears his throat.

"O-Of course can. Come in." Riddle complies as puts his paperwork away. Afterwards. the door opens to reveal the beautiful ravenette when she closes the door and strolls to his desk as she sat down in front of him.

"Sorry for barging in unannounced, Riddle. I know how busy you are during work hours." Glory informs.

"No need for you to apologized. I'm quite alright with you coming to my room, but is it you came here for?" Riddle ask curiously. Glory grins softly at him.

"Well I know you're a hardworking man so I decided to give you this." Glory said as she set a small red bag of strawberries to him. Surprised, Riddle pulls the red bag towards him when he pulls out the pink ribbon. Then he pulls the wrapper apart and was stunned to see a bunch of chocolate covered strawberries in the bag before looking back at Glory.

"Are these strawberries covered in...chocolate?" Riddle ask and she nods.

"I may not be the best baker or cook like Trey, but I did look up some recipes that are simple for me to make last week and I got Trey to help me with it. I heard you love strawberries in your dessert so I decided to make chocolate covered strawberries. It's my way of saying thank you for everything you've done for me last weekend. From the meeting with Crowley and the head dorms to the investigation. I'm really grateful to have you helping me, Riddle. You're really a kind person." Glory expresses with a sweet smile. Touched by her kindness, Riddle blink his eyes twice and glance at the chocolate covered strawberry before looking back at Glory.

"You made this?" He ask curiously and she nods.

"With the help of Trey, yes." Glory informs him. Riddle tilts his head a bit letting out a hum.

"It does look appealing and I adore the swirl around the strawberry. So I shall take a bite out of this to see how it taste." Riddle said as he took out a strawberry and bit the middle. As he chews, Riddle's eyes widen when he could taste the sweetness from the chocolate and the tartness from the fresh strawberry. He then swallows the strawberry in whole where he sat there froze making Glory slightly tilting her head with an unsure look.

"Is it good?" Glory ask anxiously as he stares at him with anticipation. Amazed by the flavor, Riddle crept a genuine smile.

"...It's delicious." He replies with a small smile making her smile back.

"I'm glad you like it Riddle." Glory said smiling sweetly. Soon she notice a smudge on his lip.

"Oh!" Glory stands up from her seat and walks over to his desk making him baffled until she kneels down to his level and wipes the smudge off of his upper lip with her thumb.

"You got chocolate on your lip." Glory said as she licks the small smudge of chocolate from her thumb causing Riddle's face to turn the color of his hair. Glory puts half of her thumb letting out a soft 'mm' from her lips as she swirls her tongue around her thumb and pulls it away with drool attach to her thumb while smiling in bliss.

"Delish~." Glory sighs with content before turning back to Riddle but widens her eyes when she saw his face heating up as well as smoke coming out his ears.

"Ah! Riddle, are you ok?!" Glory ask panicked when she sees him heating up, but Riddle shakes his head profusely and waves his hand to her.

"N-No no! I'm quite alright! I just need to breathe for a minute!" Riddle reassures while blushing, but Glory seems unsure.

"Are you sure? I can take you to Merlin so-"

"I said I'm fine!" Riddle reassures once more cutting her off while covering his flushed face with his hand flustered by the indirect kiss that he just received. Glory looked skeptical at first, but her skepticism fades when she realized noticed his timid look. Knew what's up, Glory curls her brows with a smirk when a mischievous idea popping from her mind. Feeling the urge to tease the short redhead, Glory lifts her hand to her chin and looking at him with innocent eyes.

"Are you sure you're fine Riddle? Your face is completely red. Was it a fever..."

Glory then cups his chin and lifts his head to her grey eyes.

"Or was it because of me?~" Glory ask with a frisky tone while plastering a coy smile. Riddle's face became more flushed as smoke comes out of his ears once more.

"Wha...GLORIANE!" Riddle shouts causing Glory to burst out of laughter.

"Sorry Riddle! You're just so cute that I can't help myself!" Glory giggles while covering her lip with her hand making him huff and turns away.

"I'm not cute! I am manly!!" Riddle retorts while fuming with Glory giggling.

"Alright, I'll stop. You know I was joking right? I'd said that because I like you. You're fun to hang out with. People call you strict and intimidating, but I see you as a hardworking and caring guy who cares deeply for others and I love that about you, Riddle." Glory reassures. Moved by her kind words, her tactics seems to work as Riddle averts his eyes with a sheepish look.

"...You too, Rabbit. At first I was skeptical when I met you, but after the overblot incident, I realized how much of a kind, sweet, bright, and gentle girl you are." Riddle informs as he grow his fists against his knees.

"When I'm with you, I felt a sense of relief and warmth. Throughout my life, I've been suffocated by my mother's control. Never knew what is like to have friends, what is like to be happy, or loved...that is until I met you, Gloriane Corbett." He admits.

"Riddle..." Glory was touched when he expresses his sincere and honest words as he turns back to her with a small genuine smile.

"I'm very fond of having you here today. Your smile and your presence really brightens my day every time I see you. People deemed you as Gothel's blood, but I don't see that anymore. You're the opposite of what I expect. You're a sweet and loving girl. When I helped with the investigation last week, I felt joy when I'm around you. I love seeing your smile and hearing your gentle voice, it eases me. I'm glad to have a friend like you." Riddle expresses with a smile.

"Speaking of..." He then turns his chair around and grabs something underneath his desk. Then he spins around to Glory as her eyes widen when she saw him holding a small heart-shaped rose bush in a yellow pot with hearts all over.

"I'd asked Cater about what you like and he told me that you love plants so I decided to give you a small bush of roses that I picked out yesterday morning before the Magift tournament. It's my way of saying thank you for healing me back at the Unbirthday party incident." Riddle said.

"Riddle..." Touched by his generous gift, Glory gently grabs a pot of roses to her.

"These...These are so beautiful Riddle! I love it!" Glory chirps as she puts the pot of roses on his desk and lean towards him planting a kiss on the cheek causing Riddle to widen his eyes and blush.

"Thank you so much! I'll take them back to my dorm so I could cherish them."

"Y-Yeah..." He stutters while blushing as he rubs the lipgloss stain off of his cheek, but smiles genuinely nevertheless.

"I'm glad you love it Glory. Be sure to water them in the early morning." He informs and she nods.

"Gotcha! Thank you so much Riddle! This is the best gift ever!" Glory chirps with the brightest smile.

"And thank you for giving me these chocolate covered strawberries. You should make these for the next unbirthday for everyone to try." Riddle suggests making her giggle and grin.

"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Riddle." Glory thank him as Riddle couldn't help but smile warmly at the sweet and radiant ravenette where the stress he's having lifts from his chest feeling relieved that Glory came here to visit him at his dorm as he sits back and enjoy this tender moment between him and his cheery and lovable bunny.
