Thank You

Gender: gn!Reader
- Leona raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed by your reaction. He finally confessed to you, and that’s your response?
- “Yeah? Well. Thanks to you, too,” he said in a slightly sarcastic tone.
- Though initially annoyed, the prince realized it was an accident on your part. When you apologize, he quickly brushes the incident aside.
- “Are ya sure? I can find another person to confess to.”
- Seeing your panicked reaction to his words made your mistake worthwhile.
- Even though he doesn’t hold a grudge against you, Leona teases you about it occasionally. Sometimes, when you say you love him, he replies with a ‘thank you.’
- Ruggie stared at you blankly for a second before laughing loudly. “You’re welcome. But y’know I said I love ya, right?”
- The hyena was content just by the fact that you didn’t straight out reject him. It wasn’t that he didn’t think you were interested in him, but Ruggie wanted to be prepared for all outcomes.
- When you apologized to him, he pinched your cheek. “Wanna try again? I love you.”
- Regardless of your answer, Ruggie teases you about this incident for a few months. He truly appreciates the humor of the situation.
- The wolf was confused and froze. Did you not like him back…? Did he make a mistake? Jack’s ears were slightly lowered when those thoughts floated in his mind.
- He cleared his throat. “Uh…you…are welcome?”
- As soon as you apologized to him and explained that you were distracted, the wolf sighed in relief. For a second, he thought that was your way of rejecting him.
- Jack won’t be able to forget this moment for a long time. Next time he wants to say he loves you, Jack will make sure he has your undivided attention.
- The prince was stunned and speechless. However, he quickly regained his composure and found your response amusing.
- “My pleasure. However, are you certain you heard my words, Child of Man?”
- When your eyes widened, and you profusely apologized, Malleus chuckled. He teased you for a while, finding your red cheeks and embarrassment charming.
- While he isn’t the one to bring up past incidents repeatedly, this is one incident he will never forget and will tease you.
- Lilia burst into laughter, not expecting such a response from you. He thought you would blush, stutter, try to avoid meeting his gaze, but thank you?
- “Well, what a unique response. But, my dear, I said I love you.”
- Your apologies, embarrassment, attempts to explain you were distracted – everything was entertaining to him.
- Now that Lilia knows you can’t focus on two things at once, he will use this to his advantage. He looks forward to seeing what kinds of reactions he can get out of you.
- He was confused and thought he had misheard you. Silver neither attempted to correct you nor tried to repeat his words. He was just that embarrassed at the thought that you instantly rejected him.
- “O-Oh, wait….I am so sorry!”
- As soon as you said those words and gave him an explanation, Silver relaxed. He chuckled, accepting your apology.
- Despite that, to this day, he still thinks you half rejected him but changed your mind at the last moment. However, he will never tell you this.
- Sebek turned red, mostly from embarrassment. But his mind was too jumbled to register anything other than your words.
- “Human! I said I love you!” He yelled, thinking you didn’t hear him correctly the first time.
- Once you gave him an explanation, he lectured you to pay attention when someone speaks to you.
- However, Sebek didn’t actually mean to lecture you; it was his way of hiding the fact that he almost got a heart attack. The half-fae honestly thought you rejected him.
- When he heard your response, Riddle went through an array of emotions. Shock – did you just thank him? Confusion – was that what you meant to say? Nervousness – did you politely reject him? Anger – why did he bother? Logic – hold on.
- It took him a moment to realize you were distracted when he confessed. Mentally slapping himself, Riddle sighed quietly.
- “My apologies. Please pay attention. I…I love you.”
- When you respond positively, Riddle can’t contain his happiness, and his cheeks turn red. For the rest of the day, he skips around the dorm, scaring every student he passes.
They all think he is possessed.
- Trey maintained his calm because he noticed you were distracted. That was the reason why he confessed to you. It wasn’t that he was nervous, but he thought it would be less of a shock to you if he said I love you while your mind was elsewhere.
- “You’re welcome. Just to make sure, you are not rejecting me, right?” He teased.
- Seeing your flustered face and hearing your stuttering apology, he had the urge to kiss you right then and there but controlled.
- At times, Trey brings up your nervousness as a way to tease you.
- Despite his confusion at your response, he laughed.
- He wasn’t expecting that response, but the unexpected element made the experience all the more cute.
- “I should have recorded your reaction,” he chuckled after you apologized for your mistake. So, what do you have to say to me~? Do I have to put #Rejected or #CaterisDating on Magicam? My followers have to know.”
- Cater doesn’t bring up this moment often, but when he does, he makes sure you are sulking and flustered.
- He had a hard time processing your response and rubbed the back of his head. Once he analyzed your reply, Ace immediately thought you rejected him. He wanted to run away from there.
- “Seriously? Aw, man,” he mumbled.
- “Thank you…did I just…wait, did you just…? ACE!”
- Once you told him what happened and said sorry, he laughed. It felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
- You would think Ace would tease you about your ‘thank you,’ but he doesn’t. The feeling he had when he thought you rejected him caused him pain that he doesn’t want to remember ever again, so he never brings it up.
- Deuce’s mind short-circuited at your response. He was prepared for I love you or I don’t feel the same way about you. But thank you?
- “Uh…welcome…I g-guess…?” He stuttered.
- “Wait!” The moment you realized he confessed, your world started to spin.
- Somehow, you managed to give him an apology and explanation, which made Deuce all the more embarrassed. He didn’t think you were distracted and mentally punched himself for not paying attention to where your mind was.
- He never brings up this incident, even though you said you love him back. Remembering what happened makes him embarrassed all over again.
- He was taken aback and frowned. Being a man of logic, Vil figured you were not paying attention to his words. With a sigh, he regained his poise and repeated his words.
- “Would you kindly pay attention to my words? Allow me to repeat my words. I love you.”
- Vil found your nervousness, apologies, and return confession endearing. Even though he was initially irritated, repeating his words made it worthwhile.
- Considering your honesty, Vil doesn’t make a big deal out of the incident and never brings it up again.
- Rook was shocked and dramatically gasped, resting his hand on his chest.
- “Ah, ma chèrie/mon chère, is that truly your response to my declaration of love? Are you perhaps rejecting Moi? Oh, mon coeur.”
- As he sulked, you quickly apologized. “That’s not what…uh…I was distracted! Rook, I love you too!”
- Once he heard your response, the hunter instantly switched from sulking to poetry mode.
- (Spongebob narrator: An eternity later) Rook returned to his dorm. Now, everyone on campus knows the two of you love each other.
- Epel was confused and didn’t know what to think. He was also too embarrassed to repeat his words or ask if you heard what he said. He had spent the last few days practicing in front of the mirror and imagining your reactions, but thank you was not what he expected.
- His cheeks resembled apples, but Epel relaxed slightly as soon as you said sorry.
- “It’s…o-okay…”
- Both of you were so embarrassed that he didn’t wait for your response, and you didn’t bother to give a response.
- Next time, Epel is determined to get a proper response from you…as soon as he gathers enough courage to confess again.
- When Idia heard you thank him, he backed away. He wanted to run and hide under the bed.
- The previous night, he discussed the possible outcomes of his confession, but thank you was not one of them. He even practiced how he would respond if you rejected him. However, Idia was at a loss.
- Even when you apologized and told him your mind was elsewhere, Idia couldn’t get over the initial shock. Both of you were embarrassed, and the two of you quietly stared at each other awkwardly.
- It takes him a little time to get over what happened. But when he does, he tries to confess to you again, hoping you don’t thank him. But in case you do, he practiced his reaction, so at least he won’t freeze up.
- Just like some others on this list, Azul thought your response was a plot to get out of the situation without straight-out rejecting him.
- When you apologized profusely, he realized it was an honest mistake and nervously laughed. A part of him wanted to hide in his octopus pot for comfort.
- In the end, though, he thinks the situation is humorous – at least you didn’t reject him. But Azul will never bring this situation up again.
- Jade smirked at your response and maintained his composure. He figured out from the blankness in your eyes that you didn’t hear what he said.
- “I believe you meant to say ‘I love you,’ not ‘thank you’. Would you like to try again?”
- Whatever response you give him after that, Jade will find it endearing. He doesn’t take anything to hear and realizes you were too distracted to register his initial words correctly.
- He will definitely tease you about this for months or until he can find another topic to tease you about.
- Initially, Floyd laughed, finding your response hilarious. But then, his mood quickly deflated.
- “Heeeey, Shrimpy. Are you rejecting me?” He whined.
- Even after you apologized to him and tried to explain the situation, Floyd’s mood remained off. He refused to talk to you for the rest of the day, but Jade assured you he would come around soon.
- The following day, Floyd teases you about your response. After all, who says thank you to I love you? Be prepared for his endless teasing. Oh, and everyone on campus will know what you said to him.
- Kalim grinned, thinking you were appreciating him for confessing to you. “You’re welcome!”
- Once your mind registered what he said, you quickly said sorry. This only lightened his mood even more. Reassuring you it was okay, Kalim continued to openly express his love for you.
- But as soon as you tell him you love him back, Kalim completely forgot about what happened earlier. The only thing he remembered was you loved him, too.
- Jamil’s jaw dropped, and he froze. At first, he thought you were politely rejecting him. Then, he thought you must have misheard him.
- With a sigh, he touched his temple and repeated his words. “What exactly are you thanking me for?”
- Then, it clicked with you. After your apology, he exhaled, relieved you didn’t reject him. Jamil apologizes for confessing when you were distracted.
- After that day, he never brings up the incident again. Sometimes, he has nightmares about you rejecting him by saying thank you.
