------------------------------
(Y/n) looked up at the judge named Neuvillette, a hint of ignorance through his eyes as the guards took him away. His eyes held a hint of mischief and he laughed, once again writing something down in a notebook.
"Silence!" Neuvillette yelled, annoyance in his eyes as his words were being ignored. "I question the validity and credibility of the evidence presented. Have you taken him to find a professional opinion?" (Y/n)'s lawyer pleaded for the account of insanity which doesn't make him a good fit in prison. It will cause the other prisoners to probably feel extremely uncomfortable with someone as insane as (Y/n) around. Neuvillette didn't seem amused with the plead, he seemed rather agitated with only this specific criminal.
Turns out, it wasn't that good of an argument as (Y/n) was sent to prison at the infamous prison, Fortress of Meropide. Honestly, he was rather excited. The stories he has heard of this place were unbeknownst to others. (Y/n) looked around the rooftop and ceilings, he continued to look around, following someone by the name of Wriothesley.
Of course (Y/n) knew who he was, he was just pretending to not know as he didn't bring up his job here in the prison. 'Why didn't he bring up his status as Duke?' (Y/n) thought looking around following behind the vision bearer.
'The fuck does he want?'
(Y/n) was led to his room, he would be starting training the next day, and it gave him plenty of time to think about it.
"Haha, perhaps Neuvillette wants to confirm the insanity plea for himself? He does work closely with the Duke right?" (Y/n) laughed to himself, fully aware of the person eavesdropping at the end of the hall. His laughter echoed through the circular tube causing passersby to become unsettled. Soon (Y/n) looked down at his bed. He couldn't remember if there was a curfew here or not, he wasn't paying attention, and from all the things he had seen prisoners were not allowed to be outside.
It's not like he cares.
Walking up the stairs inside his room (Y/n) walked down the halls (if you could even call it that). Going into the working location observed many of the machines that were being unused. It was past midnight again.
There was a sense of calmness in his eyes, absorbing the world surrounding him with such detail an artist would be put to shame.
"What a shame...to put such a good machine under the ground." (Y/n) looked down at the lower floor with a shallow smile on his face.
"What are you trying to do awake at such late times?"
"Ahh Duke, how honorable for you to catch me at such breaking times." (Y/n) smiled before it immediately faded, "How sad of me to be caught right after the entire Fountain was submerged in water. I must ask how the science of that works, it confuses me to this day unless..." (Y/n) began a seemingly endless mumbling.
"Or rather, how that boat was able to...fly." (Y/n) questioned, a mere smile given. "Do you have a chalkboard, Duke? For I must figure at least one thing out tonight." There didn't seem to be an irrefutable response to Wriothesley. Without speaking another word he walked back into his room without a single glance back.
Wriothesley was his new target of interest.
The man looked at him confusingly, it wasn't like he was going to offer anything but just walking away like that also didn't seem...normal. Neuvilette told him to keep an eye on this man to make sure he didn't do something too over the board, it was the first time he had ever gotten ordered to do such things but he didn't mind it at all, it just gave him some to see what this newbie is all about.
"No need to keep staring, I know I'm handsome." (Y/n) left with that as he completely went out of Wriothesley's sight.
Wriothesley rolled his eyes and walked off. Something felt off from (Y/n) but he'll think about that tomorrow when he's more awake. (Y/n) took out a notebook and a pen, jotting something down.
The next few nights went away without other events, thank god because Wriothesley was extremely tired trying to fix everything. But at least the prophecy has gone-
"Duke! That new guy! The insane one is causing havoc again!" the man collapses onto the ground as Wriothesley runs out.
"Get yourself to the nurses as soon as possible. Thank you for notifying me." Wriothesley went to the location the guy mentioned and saw the fight scene.
"There's an arena in this location and yet you still decide to pick fights?" Wriothesley picked up (Y/n)'s collar and dragged him away, "The rest of you know enough to know what to do right?" It wasn't a question, it was a threat. All the people involved scrambled away and in all directions, trying their best to avoid the strong fighter.
(Y/n) was thrown inside Wriothesley's office, the man looked pissed as he glared at (Y/n).
"You have the nerve to start fights?! Do you have zero respect for the system I have created? Do you want attention that badly!?" Wriothesley has finally lost it. His anger flared up continuously at (Y/n) for a simple fight but it seemed like there was undeterred pressure coming from the surface. Then again seeing what (Y/n) has put him through in the past few days has continuously caused him to become agitated. He was calm and collected, but losing his shit once in a while isn't that bad.
(Y/n) has continuously broken rules and caused trouble that Wriothesley has picked up over and over again.
It's like teaching a disrespectful kid how to respect something but he just wouldn't listen to anything you do. Goes in one ear and out the other.
"You broke me! Okay? Can you stop?" Wriothesley shoved (Y/n) against the wall, he moved back and took a deep breath until he heard someone knock on the door. Wriothesley looked at Neuvillette as he walked into the door.
"Finally, you called him here for backup in dealing with me?" (Y/n) looked around, his eyes calculating the possibility of him escaping. He looked at the closeness of Wriothesley and Neuvillette, it caused him some suspicion about their relationship. It was quite curious as they seemed close.
A little too close.
(Y/n)'s eyes narrowed, as he finally had something else to do. Explore what their relationship is. Putting out the notebook he carries everywhere, he starts a new and fresh page writing what he sees down.
He can hide it back into his jack right before being scolded for over an hour by the pissed-off Duke, very out of character for him, he is finally pulled away by Neuvillette.
(Y/n) looked up at Neuvillette, as he held his hand up and waved, "Have fun~" he whispered before mouthing the words; "You exposed yourself weeks before this~" (Y/n) was lying on his tongue, Neuvillette should have known instead of putting on guard for the next few days.
Looking over the notes in his notebook, he was able to quickly piece together things. Those random letters that didn't seem important but they always caused Wriothesley to smile, (Y/n) wrote down every expression that appeared, how many pages the letter was, the color of the envelope and paper, and drew down the wax seal that was holding the letter closed.
He was now fascinated.
(Y/n) was stalking the Duke all over the place, more than he ever was. He wasn't discreet about it either, often just straight-up staring at him until he looked back. (Y/n) would just smile at him until the Duke would look away. Many rumors about him were starting to sprout up. Things about him being in love with the Duke, wanting to dule with him to shorten his sentence. Even though the duke was never known to attend any fights himself. But (Y/n) was talking like he was a stalker, which is basically what he was doing. Trying to find anything about him and Neuvillette. But (Y/n) finally deemed that there weren't enough people in the prison to know such information about the Duke and the Ordainer of Inexorable Judegment's relationship.
He was also quite curious.
Who's top and who's bottom?
Both seemed equal as likely and either one would be satisfying to look at.
...what?
(Y/n) sat up in his bed as he walked out of his room again, he's never had an easy time trying to go to sleep. It's been months since his sentencing, months since he started investigating their relationship and he still has nearly nothing on them. They hide information well, (Y/n) will give them that, it was so hard to get anything from them.
Habits, pranks, visits, they were all written down but (Y/n) could never see what happened inside the doors of the Duke's office.
Sitting on the edge of the railing, (Y/n) leaned his face against the bar, eyes slowly shutting from the semi-fresh air that he was finally getting into his lungs, odd, usually it would smell rather disgusting. The entire building had fans all over it to get fresh ocean air into the facility but getting it directly is always good. (Y/n) eventually fell asleep out there. He went into a deep slumber. To the point where he doesn't realize he was picked up and slung over someone's shoulders.
(Y/n) woken up in a chair, tied up, and gaged. He didn't panic, at least on the outside, his brain was trying to make sense of everything and trying to locate where he was. The cloth in his mouth dried up his mouth causing his lips to crack and bleed into the fabric, part of his skin infused into the cloth causing it to hurt quite a lot when it was eventually ripped out of his mouth.
"What do you want to know so badly to the point where you have been stalking me for months? It's quite unsettling being watched 24/7." Wriothesly's voice rang in one of (Y/n)'s ears.
"Ugh, I was just doing things like everyone else." (Y/n) smiled, and he looked up at the Duke wondering what was going to happen now, this felt like an intergeneration. Which it is. But he's never going to admit what he did was...weird at best. He admits he was quite stalker-ish, but not for the things Wriothesley probably thinks.
Wriothesley probably thinks he is plotting something along the lines of overthrowing his position.
No.
He just wishes to know how well Wriothesley and Neuvillette are.
It's not...that bad now that he thinks about it.
"What are you going to do to me?" (Y/n) asked, tilting his head as he heard another pair of footsteps from the other side. Neuvillette's white hair flew into view causing (Y/n) to smile even more. "Dear Judge is here too? How honored-"
"Why did you do all of this?" Neuvillete swiftly cut him off. His eyes glared down at (Y/n).
"I just wanted you to know what your relationship was with the Duke. You seemed close when I first caused trouble in the Fortress."
"All this for...that?" Neuvillette was a little taken aback by seeing how simple his wish was. There was heavy doubt on whether he should believe him or not.
Neuvillette felt... confused, and misguided.
Looking down at the criminal in the chair the two people felt very...off with the person in front of them. They were wearing a hypothetical mask, covering their emotions with that damned mask.
"Alright, we can tell you, but you are not to tell anyone else," Neuvillete started, the duke looked at him oddly, "Wriothesley is my boyfriend, that's the answer you wished for correct?"
What a boring response.
"No, I wish to hear more, thought my stalking, yes I admit I did do that, but I have yet to find the information I wish to seek."
At this point (Y/n) was just babbling off random shit to try and figure out anything else.
After dragging on the question for what seems like hours (Y/n) was ultimately let go. He felt something off with the two of the men, they were hiding way too cautiously. Over something as simple as a relationship? Perhaps they were almost doing something illegal on the side. He knew the Duke might do something like that but Neuvillette? Unless he was just protective but didn't know what was happening.
This whole situation seems ridiculous.
He needs a better thing to look for.
Going back to his room (Y/n) finally feels the pressure coming off of his shoulders. But yet again, this was another sleepless night. He wasn't scared that the two men would do anything anymore so he walked out to the same location and fell asleep against the railing at around 4 am.
There were too many thoughts in his head over the two and it's honestly making him want to claw his brains out.
"I have prepared a case for you to look over regarding the..." Neuvillette looked at the asleep man on the ground before looking over at his boyfriend in a questioning manner. The Duke sighed seeing the sleeping man on the ground once again. Dragging (Y/n) up from the ground Wriothesley brought him back to his room. Neuvillette followed the case file still in his hands. Looking around at the plain room. Walking to the table he saw a book on it, there was no title so Neuvillette assumed it was a notebook of some sort.
Picking it up, to move it to the side, many pieces of paper fell out, falling to the ground. There were entries over Wriothesley, over his own court trial on nothing but Neuvillette.
"It seems like he was already investigating us before finding out we were together and even before his trial. A new entry once he saw me enter your office that day..." Neuvillette summarized some of the bullet points (Y/n) had written down. This unhealthy obsession caused Neuvillette to shiver a little.
Wriothesley looked down at the man in the bed and wanted to kick him into the Sumeru desert. "Fucken pervert..."
"That would hurt my feelings if I had any to begin with." Wriothesley backed off seeing (Y/n) has woken up.
"Give me that, you messed it all up." (Y/n) packed up the papers, the notebook was falling apart but at least he put page numbers.
"Why are you....so curious about...us?" Wriothesley finally spoke after a while of silence.
(Y/n) looked up at him, his eyes shining with mischief. "You two...are a mystery. I want to get something on you, I want you to find something I can hold against you two. I want to hold it above your head like a noose...
...I want...no... need, to be the floorboard that decides if you two should live or not."
