Why hate me
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You, a young fae has been promised to marry malleus since a young age. But how is everything going to work out between the two of you if he hates you? And what if he says something that would completely ruin the last bit of hope you have for him.
-
You sat quietly by the window as you took a sip of your tea. Humming a small tune that your caretaker used to hum to you. As you sat by the window, you could feel your heart ache at the thought of your fiance.
Malleus draconia
The two of you have been promised to marry each other since you were young. You always loved malleus ever since you were a little girl.
But malleus on the other hand didn't like you very much. You never knew why he didn't like you. You never did anything bad to him or anything so you were always confused as to why he hated you.
But even if he didn't like you, that definitely didn't stop you from being nice to him. You would always ask him to come play with you or take a stroll around the palace garden but he would always decline.
But that didn't stop little old you. You made a promise to yourself to make malleus like you, even if it wasn't romantically you still wouldn't care as long as he feels comfortable around you.
But as you both grew older, the more you started to believe that he might never like you. He would grow annoyed with you when you would check up on him or try to convince him to go walk in the palace garden with you.
He would ignore your every attempt to make him like you.
And the thing he hated the most was when you first visited NRC.
You decided to pay a visit to NRC and to see how malleus was doing, but the moment you step foot in diasomnia malleus was quick to escort you out the dorm.
Of course you felt sad but you didn’t want to make him hate you even more so you decided to respect his wish.
Your thoughts were interrupted by a sudden knock at the door.
“Come in”
You put your tea cup down and turn to see no other than lilia.
“Good evening lilia”
“Good evening y/n”
“What brings you here?” You ask as you motion him to sit down across from you.
“Well I haven’t seen my daughter in law in a while, so I just wanted to stop by and see how you are doing”
You smiled and poured him a cup of tea.
“Well I have been doing great general lilia” you tease as he just laughs.
“Well that great lady y/n”
“Oh? So we are getting formal now general lilia?”
“Well we most definitely are lady y/n”
You both were quiet for a moment before bursting into a fit of laughter.
“Ah, I haven't laughed like that in ages!”
“Well I’m glad you had your fun” he said as he took a sip of his tea.
“So how is everything going in NRC? How silver?”
“Everything is going great! Ah and silver, my sweet boy is doing great!”
“That great!…and um… how mal doing?”
“Malleus is doing just fine. Actually, he been pretty happy the past few weeks”
“Is that so?”
“Mhm. I think it has to do with that new student”
“New student?” You put your cup down and paid your full attention to him.
“Ah I forgot to mention, you know that a few weeks ago we had orientation, right?”
“Mhm”
“Well during that, the mirror summoned something- someone”
“And she isn’t from twisted wonderland”
“Oh? She is not from this world?” You say in shock.
“Nope”
“So how is she? Is she alright?” Even though you didn’t know the girl, you still felt sorry for her since she most likely found everything strange.
“Ah you and your sweet heart! But she fine, crowley is doing his best to get her back to her original world…well that what I heard”
“Mm”
“Ah! But she's been hanging out with malleus for the past few weeks! And she made a few new friends during those weeks including malleus!”
“Well that good to hear”
“Say y/n, why don’t you ever visit NRC? Silver been asking about you including sebek”
“Really?”
“Mhm”
You stay silent for a moment. You never told him about the incident with you and malleus when you first visited diasomnia.
“Well, I would like to but…you know how I’m busy all the time lilia”
“Well you don’t have to worry about that!”
“What do you mean?” You asked curiously
“Because I cleared up your schedule!”
“Eh?”
You looked at him dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
“Yep, everyone in diasomnia is already informed about your arrival, so it would be a shame if you don’t come”
“E-everyone?”
“Mhm!”
Your heart dropped knowing malleus would most likely be angry.
“Well let’s get going now!”
“W-wait lilia!”
“No waits!”
-
At night raven college
“Ahh did you guys hear! The great lady y/n will be visiting today!”
“Ehh?! Really!?”
“I heard she's gonna stay here for the week!”
“We need to make sure we meet lady y/n expectations!”
If no one knew that you were coming to visit NRC, well they definitely know now by how the rumors are spreading around everywhere.
“Ahh did you hear that silver! The great lady y/n will be visiting today!”
“Yes yes I heard sebek”
By now, everyone knows that you were visiting and everyone was really excited, even people that weren’t from diasomnia.
And of course, since everyone on campus is talking about your arrival, it certainly reached the ears of a certain someone.
“She visiting…”
“Who? Oh wait, are you talking about the lady y/n? I don’t really know anything about her but from what everyone is saying she seems sweet and very popular”
He just scoffed
“Come on, she might be here by now”
“Wait, we're going to meet her?!”
Ignoring her question, malleus just pulls her towards diasomnia direction.
-
Stepping foot into diasomnia, you felt a wave of anxiety starting to creep up as your eyes looked everywhere for a certain dragon.
“You seem nervous”
“Me? Hah that funny”
“Are you-“
But before he could continue, the doors flew open and you started preparing yourself for what to come.
“Y/n!” You quickly turn around to see silver and sebek. You felt a wave of relief go through you and you offered them a small smile.
“Ah if it isn’t silver and sebek! It’s great to see the two of you”
“It’s great to see you again!”
“Why haven’t you come visit us sooner?”
“Ah well I have been busy with some stuff back at the castle”
“Oh”
“Well it’s good to see that you took a break!”
“Yeah…it is”
Before the two could talk any further, the door was slammed open and you turn to see malleus and a girl at the door.
“Malleus..”
“Y/n…what is she doing here?”
“She came to visit us of course! C’mon be more happy about seeing your fiancée malleus!” You saw him stiffen up and you lowered your head down so as to not make any eye contact with him.
“Oh fiancée? Malleus, you never told me that!”
You look up to see a girl standing next to him.
That must be the new student
As she looked your way you gave her a small smile and quietly chuckled when she turned red and looked away.
“Yes..um well if you excuse me I have to go do something”
“Dinner will be ready in a few hours!” Lilia tells him as malleus walks away.
You felt like breaking down right then and there. You just wanted to know why malleus hates you so much.
“Boys go help her unpack”
“Oh no! It’s fine-“
“Don’t worry, lady y/n! I’ll help you!”
“That sweet of you sebek, really but I’ll-“
“We don’t mind y/n, plus I would love if we can catch up with each other while we help you unpack”
“Mhm!”
You looked at them for a second before nodding your head.
“That would be great”
They smile and lift up your bags as they escorted you to your room.
“Akane, you should come help me prepare dinner!”
“D-dinner?” You three quickly turn around to akane as the poor girl didn’t know what to do.
“Wait father! After we’re done helping lady y/n unpack we can help you!”
“Y-yeah! Or maybe one of our chefs will!”
“You should take a break Lilia!”
“Oh but I’m not tired-“
“It’s okay we got it from here sir lilia!” You three sighed in relief when one of the chefs came running in.
“Oh well thank you!”
-
“So how are things with malleus?"
You froze when Silver asked you that. You didn't know how to answer without revealing too much of what's going on between you and malleus.
"Things are great.."
"Mm"
"Where do you want me to put this lady y/n!"
"You can put it down there, thank you sebek"
"Are you sure everything is good between you two?"
"Mhm" He decided not to say anything else after that, but you knew that he didn't completely believe it.
"Well thank you two for helping me unpack, I really appreciate it"
"It's no problem!"
"dinner would be serve in a few, let's go"
You three then made your way out the room and downstairs. You were a little nervous to see malleus but you calmed yourself the moment you noticed that you were getting closer to the dining area.
"Oh you three made it just on time! Come! Dinner is ready” you stared in awe as you saw all the amazing and wonderful food that was on the table. Especially when you saw your favorite.
“Where malleus?” Akane asks, you looked around and you saw that he was nowhere in sight.
“Oh I don’t know. Y/n dear”
You stiffen as you heard Lilia call for you.
“Yes?”
“Could you go get malleus? Tell him that dinner is ready” Anxiety and nausea is all you could feel. You slowly nodded your head before getting up and excusing yourself out.
As you walked down the hallway of diasomnia, you could feel your heart beat out of your chest.
You were extremely nervous.
The closer you got to malleus room, the more you could feel your heart almost bursting out.
Finally making it to his room. You softly knocked on the door.
“Mal? Dinner is-“ but before you could even finish your sentence, the door flew open and you were pulled into the room.
“What are you doing here” he asks sternly.
“Lilia asked me to come get you-“
“No”
“Huh?” His hold on you tightened as you looked at him with wide eyes.
“Why. Are. You. Here”
“I-I..” but as you expected, no words came out of your mouth.
You were beyond scared and you didn’t know what to do to not make him more mad than he already is.
“ I came to visit. Lilia made me come here”
“Are you here to kill us?! Huh?!”
You looked at him confused as he just went off on you.
“W-what? Mal what do you-“
“You know exactly what I mean! And don’t call me mal”
“I- I’m sorry but I don’t know what you are talking about!”
“Stop lying! I saw it! I saw it that day!”
“What? What did you see?!” At this point you were confused. You didn’t know what he was talking about and why he was acting like this.
“Your gonna kill me aren’t you? That why you are acting all nice and sweet. You want me dead don’t you! You are going to do the same thing your parents did to mine huh?!”
You just stared at him. You couldn’t believe what he was saying. You didn’t even know what he was saying!
“Malleus! Please just stop!”
“No! I won’t let you hurt me or anyone!”
“Malleus-“
“You should’ve died in that fire along with your parents”
Your heart stopped when those words left his lips. You stared at him in disbelief and hurt as tears started to flow down your face.
He just looks at you with hatred. Not regretting the words that just have left his mouth.
You two just looked at each other before you finally looked away.
“Alright. I’ll just leave”
Was the last thing you said before walking out the room.
That was the last time malleus and anyone else saw you.
You never came back to NRC, you never made it back to briar valley, you never made it back to the castle.
It’s like you disappeared
And…maybe you did.

A Cold Touch
Synopsis: You have been sick for a few weeks and Malleus has been worried sick about you. However, he's pleased to find that you've had a sudden burst of energy! This must mean that you're getting better, right?
Reader is gender neutral and has been married to Malleus for a little over a year.
Tw: death :((
Tumblr media
---------------------
Malleus sat at the meeting table, distressed that he had to be here and not by your side. He hated it. He hated it. It showed on his face, too. Everyone at the table felt the sweat beads roll down the napes of their neck under their king’s glower, eager to finish the meeting as soon as they possibly could.
You had been ill for several weeks at this point, and Malleus had been in a constant state of dismay over it. He fretted over you, bringing in every health professional he could from all over the region. Despite his demands, nobody could figure out quite what was wrong with you. They assured him, however, that you would be fine.
That didn’t stop him from worrying.
He felt a buzzing in his head as one of the diplomats from the kingdom beyond his blabbered on. Malleus knew this treaty was important to avoid war, but he couldn’t bring himself to care at the moment. Every second he wasn’t by your side was a second you could leave him. A second he wasn’t there to protect you. What if the forehead kiss he gave you before going this morning was the last he ever gave you? It plagued his mind, repeating like a broken record.
Finally, finally, the damned meeting was over. Malleus all but flew out of the meeting room, cape billowing behind him. He took a moment to compose himself outside of your shared room, for he never wanted to show you how troubled he truly was by your illness. It was the principle of the thing. He softly opened the door and entered, but found himself quite taken aback by what he found.
You had gotten out of bed by yourself and had photos scattered around you on the ground. He felt his heart grow lighter and walked over to you, sitting down. You glance up at him and smile brightly, with the energy he was used to seeing. It filled him with relief.        
“Hey, Mal-Mal. How did your meeting go?”
“Awful. I hated every second I wasn’t with you.” You laughed at that, that wonderful laugh that made him love you all the more dearly. The laugh was broken by a coughing fit and Malleus attempted to help you up and put you back in bed, but you waved him off.
“No, no, I’m fine. I feel better than I have in weeks, actually. See, I was just looking through some of my old photos!" Malleus looked at the photos you had laid out and smiled at the fond memories. There were photos from Night Raven, with all of your friends. Grim. Ramshackle. Graduation. He liked the ones from your wedding best. Being coronated after the wedding. The most recent photo was of the two of you celebrating your first anniversary. So many happy memories, so many years of your life laid out in front of you on the floor.
Malleus took your hand and kissed the inside of your wrist. He had taken to doing so recently, as the sickness had made you so cold to the touch, but your wrist remained warm. It reminded him that you were still here, with him. He looked up at you softly.
“I’m glad to see you with so much more energy today, darling. Is there anything I can do for you?”
“...Can I have a kiss?” Oh, who would deny such a simple request? Certainly not he, so he indulged your request and leaned in to give you one.
Malleus’ heart grew heavy as he kissed you, for suddenly he was struck with a foreboding feeling. Why, all at once, did you have all this energy that your illness robbed you of? He felt a chill go up his spine, but he pushed aside his unease. It just meant you were getting better, surely.
You were alive and well, he reminded himself. This was a good thing- he should enjoy it.
“It’s getting late, my love. You really should go to sleep to build up your energy.” Malleus took your hand and gently helped you up. You conceded and allowed him to help you into bed, grumbling a little. He then picked up all your photos and carefully placed them back in your box, just the way you liked it.
Then Malleus crawled into bed next to you and held you in his arms. The two of you talked for a long while, and he was pleased to see how full of energy you were. Perhaps he really was stressed over nothing and the doctors were right. You would be fine.
He didn’t allow himself to fall asleep until you did, something he had done throughout the entirety of your relationship. As his eyes drifted shut, he smiled to himself. You were going to get better.
You were going to be okay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Malleus blinked his eyes open, sunlight peeking through the curtains directly onto his face. He could see outside a bit. It was your favorite kind of morning: sunny, warm, and the sounds of life could be heard outside. Perhaps you might be feeling well enough to go on a walk with him. He closed his eyes again and rolled over to face you.
“Good morning, love.” He took your hand and pressed a kiss to your wrist, smiling softly. Then his eyes flew open.
Your wrist was cold.
Malleus scrambled up, looking at your face. You looked like you could just be asleep. After all, you looked so incredibly peaceful. You looked paler than usual, but then again you had been pale since you first got sick.
He raised a shaky hand to your nose, but felt…. Nothing. No breath. His heart felt like it was going to burst out of his chest with how hard it was pounding. He could hear nothing but the blood rushing through his ears. He felt for a pulse. Nothing. Laid his head on your chest. Nothing.
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
He felt the world tilt. He gripped your shoulders and shook you desperately. He could barely hear his own screaming over the heartbeat in his ears. He shrieked your name so loud that servants burst open the door and rushed in. He paid them no notice. He paid no more notice when Lilia, Silver, and Sebek rushed in.
Malleus held you close to him, crying into your shoulder. His screams echoed through the halls of his palace and sent chills down the backs of those who could hear it. Lilia hesitantly stepped forward, gently laying his hand on Malleus’s shoulder.
“Malleu-”
“EVERYONE OUT.” Lilia flinched back, but nodded to the others. They all left, leaving Malleus alone to clutch onto you.
It felt as though he was being swallowed whole, like the very essence of his being was crashing down upon him. He had been a broken man, and you had taken the time to piece him back together again. The irony of you being the one to break him into smithereens all over again was almost palpable.
You had been Malleus’s rock, his anchor that brought him back to his humanity. But in the end, you became his Achilles' heel.
How long did he sit there, holding you in his arms, begging you to come back to him? He wasn’t sure. But at some point the numbness began to set in, slowly seeping through his veins like poison. An icy grip squeezed Malleus, and he finally had to admit it to himself: you were dead.
Malleus held your lifeless body close, unable to believe that he would never hear you laugh again, never kiss you again, never get to grow old with you. All he could feel was his heart breaking with every passing heartbeat, and for the first time in his long life, he could not summon the will to go on.
-------------------------
When was the last time I even wrote anything. 💀
Idk anyways I got the idea from this from a thing my bestie @meltedbuttersblog wrote!! Totally check out their blog btw they're wonderful.

TW: MOCKING & REJECTION
Tumblr media
“Happy Valentine’s Day.”
You hold out the candy with a smile, having spent days on finding the perfect one to fit his personality and taste. Doing research amongst his friends to find the absolutely perfect treat, to merely hint at your affections for him. He barely spares you a glance, focused more on whatever task he was doing.
“You know I don’t like you, right,” It wasn’t a question. A statement to make sure that you truly understood, and upon seeing your confused and distraught face, he lets out a low annoyed sigh, turning fully to you. Like a mother having to pull her child away and scold them for thinking that whatever they did was okay. Yet there’s no love, to apologetic undertones, nothing.
“I do not like you. Listen, I don’t know what gave you that impression, but no.” He turns back to his task, leaving you to merely stand there, shocked and silenced. You step away, turning from the man that just shattered your heart before a soft ‘wait’ makes you glance back with a glimmer of hope. He’s not looking at you, but there’s a bit of humor in his tone.
“Happy Valentine’s Day.”

✿ ❝ 𝘀𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗿 ❞
━ malleus draconia x gn! reader ━ part 1. you always had a crush on malleus for a while now, but as his soldier, you knew you will never have the chance to confess much less for him to feel the same way towards you. find part 2 here.
slight (?) spoilers for chapter 7! f/n stands for first name.
do not steal or translate without my permission.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
as one of malleus' guards, it was expected of you to accompany him everywhere and make sure he's safe from harm. hence why, you are now attending night raven college to guard your future king.
you've been working for briar valley's royal family for more than a century, so you have known malleus longer than you knew silver and sebek, having grown together as you were both around the same age.
he had always treated you with kindness and respect, but never crossed the line of being the future king and his guard, so you never get the chance to share your personal secrets or life with him.
once you were enrolled in night raven college, you were sorted to diasomnia - the exact same dorm as your fellow guards and your future king. you were there whenever they'd have their tea sessions over at the lounge but always found yourself being the listener and observer of the group, never sharing anything about yourself as you knew that the bond these four shares is far deeper than you could fathom.
you were just another guard.
you knew that and yet you still could not etch that into your mind, you were stubborn enough to think that maybe, just maybe, your bond with them will surpass the professional barrier and share loving, family-like ties.
or at least, you were stupid enough, delusional even, to think that the feelings you hold for the man you're serving will be reciprocated.
"so, i've heard queen maleficia wishes to help you find your significant other, malleus... what do you think of it?" asked lilia, which broke you out of your trance, suddenly interested in the conversation but remained silent, as usual.
"hmm..."
a hum escaped malleus' lips, setting down his teacup on its saucer as his sharp green eyes stared at his beverage in deep thought. your eyes were glued on his figure, taking in his features as you awaited for him to share his response. he had always looked strikingly beautiful, malleus was one attractive man and you would never deny that.
you loved everything about him - those striking green eyes of his, his beautiful horns, the adorable child-like smile he would display every time he was happy, his commanding presence, his voice, his powerful skills and abilities, and so on.
there was something about this man that you promise to serve with your whole life, so it was not a surprise that you had fallen for him over the course of your time together.
you snapped out of your thoughts as soon as malleus cleared his throat, preparing to share his response with a smile, "that's fine... i already have someone in mind..."
ah...
stupid.
delusional.
you were stupid enough, delusional even, to think that the feelings you hold for the man you're serving will be reciprocated.
what a joke.
despite the smiles on lilia, silver, and sebek's faces, you remained indifferent as you felt your heart slightly crack. you didn't want to ruin the happy atmosphere as much as you wanted to sigh out in despair and run up to your room, you didn't want them to suddenly be concerned if you decided to storm out.
so you sat there silently, tuning out the conversation as you were no longer interested to listen to something that you knew will hurt your feelings even more.
of course, he has his eyes set on someone.
of course, such a wonderful man would have already picked a perfect partner to spend his whole life with.
and that obviously wasn't you.
you will always be just a guard to him, just another soldier swearing on their own life for his safety and protection. as his guard, his happiness is obviously something you would think about as well, and if he had already found a partner, you should be happy for him.
it sounds easy, doesn't it? to be happy for the man you love falling for someone else, wanting to be in their arms instead of yours. of course, it is easier said than done.
several thoughts swirled in your mind as you spaced out, not bothering to listen to sebek's expression of happiness towards malleus' words, or silver's supportive phrases. you had thought, what if you confessed back then? will things be different now? will he choose to marry you?
ah, what-ifs.
what's the point of being the guard of one of the top mages in the entire wonderland if you don't even have the courage to confess to him?
"lieutenant?"
you snapped out of your trance as soon as you heard lilia's voice calling out to you, addressing you in your official title and not your name.
your bond will never go beyond professional.
"yes...?"
you replied softly, finding no energy to speak after feeling so downhearted. you noticed the hint of concern in your comrades' eyes whilst your future king looked over at you with curiosity as lilia spoke, "you haven't said a word ever since we started sitting on the lounge. is there something on your mind? we've been calling out to you for a while now, but you didn't respond."
"oh... um..."
you couldn't think of a proper excuse as silver asked, "are you tired, lieutenant? you can retire for the night..." you hummed in response as you shook your head, "i'm not tired yet. my apologies for being in a trance and spacing out."
"hmm... well, that's fine since you're with us, but you must remain vigilant when on guard duty. it is troubling to think that you might not be paying attention to malleus or your own safety if you're in a daze," reprimanded lilia as he leaned back on the chair. he may have already been retired, but he was still your mentor, he taught you all the sword-fighting skills that you practice today as well as combat tips that are useful in the field.
you meekly nodded as you mumbled, "yes, sir. my deepest apologies."
the conversation then went on as you proceeded to listen and observe, still not saying a word as you had nothing you wanted to share, finding it unprofessional to start sharing things about your personal life or feelings with them.
hours have passed and everyone has retired to their rooms. as soon as you entered your room and closed the door behind you, you sank to the floor and hugged your knees to your chest, sighing heavily as you covered your face.
"why did i ever think i have a chance with him?"
you spoke to no one in particular, covering your face with your hands as you tried to ignore that aching feeling in your chest. you should have gotten used to these little aches by now, but this time was different, that feeling of heartbreak was slowly affecting you physically. your chest felt heavy as tears threatened to spill down your cheeks with your breathing getting heavier by the second.
"i love you for as long as i can remember. i would carve out my own heart if it means i could be with you, but you do not feel the same way as i do. i'll always be just another retainer to you, but you will always be my whole world."

your memory
SUMMARY: Malleus still carries you with him.
CHARACTER: Malleus Draconia.
WARNINGS: Implied death.
COMMENTS: I was in a mood so I decided to hurt ygys a little. The next thing I write is probably going to be fluffier if that's any consolation LMAO
~~~~~
The sky wasn’t the same anymore now that a new day had come. It was something he knew all too well, the blurred passage of time that varied between races. He knew it was inevitable, a sweet century of soft blankets and gentle touches and even breaths. It was the first time he’d felt like he belonged somewhere in a long, long time, and he was certain he would never feel the same again.
Your favorite mug was still on the counter. He grabbed it. Soon it was full of the sweet smelling tea you introduced him to on one of your many travels. He never ran out of it.
The house creaked with age as he walked to the front porch, a reminder that while he stayed stagnant, the world moved around him. Soon the house he shared with you would also crumble to dust, and the mug you adored would no longer be resting in his hands, but would be shattered in the dirt. The hungry earth would swallow up all traces of you, and Malleus couldn’t plead loud enough for existence to not take you from him yet.
But you were already gone.
Eyes following the horizon, he took a small sip of tea.
Still as sweet as ever.
The sunrise shifted from blood red to orange to purple, an image that he’d seen so many times with you before while you were cuddled up to him. His side was dreadfully cold now.
Resting his hand on the cold flooring on the porch, Malleus sat, stone faced and refusing to acknowledge the ache in his heart.
He hoped he’d meet you again someday and take those hands he loved so much into his own, whether they were wrinkled from age or as soft as they were when you met him. He hoped he’d see the way your eyes crinkled at the corners again, the way your smile made your face light up never changing even after your skin was coarse and wrinkled.
He sipped at his tea again.
He sipped it from your favorite mug.
And he knew that someday, somehow, he’d find you again, even if he’d never meet another you in his lifetime.

in the dead of night, there is a terrible roar, one that scratches at the surface of the midnight sky and is accompanied by verdant flames.
the at once young and ancient fae knows much of loneliness and nothing of heartbreak.
he breathes fire through his vocal cords instead of curses, and transformed, you cannot see the tears running down his cheeks -
for dragons do not shed tears, although fae do.
in this way they are much like humans, it seems.
the forest burns, and the fae stands imprisoned in a ring of fire of his own making; a self-imposed prison, and yet somewhere where he is shielded from you - you who have broken his heart.
the guardian watches from afar as his ward tires out, red eyes and long eyelashes glistening in empathy. malleus has not wept once in centuries, and yet here he is, doubled over and sobbing in the midst of smoke and ash.
prince and future king, reduced to very little, as a result of nothing - a simple human. a human's whose life will be insignificant and fleeting. a human who does not return his love.
lilia does not approach malleus, and continues to watch from afar. he cannot help him.
but you can.
your legs have carried you out of bed and dashing down the winding castle staircases, bare feet breezing down cobblestone paths and through the thick bramble into the thinning forest.
you appear behind lilia, who stops you wordlessly.
don't go, his eyes say.
and yet you go anyway, finding your way through the flames to malleus who hates you infinitely and loves you irreversibly in tandem, who could burn you into cinders only to be blown away with the wind and forgotten.
you stand mere feet away from him now, and he looks up at you, almost pitifully, huddled as you remain tall. you are salvation and curse, foolish beyond measure appearing before him in this state. slit-like eyes dilate, and you crouch before him. you kneel so that your faces are level with each other, and with your thumbs, gently wipe the tears from his eyes. the snarl on his face falters into a frown.
you tell him you love him, voice shaky, and with gaze wet and wanting,
and the forest regrows.

hehhehhashehhshsa its me. again. im back with another idea and uh...GN!mc or M!mc thinking if they should go back into a relationship with malleus because their parents forced them to break up like "malleus should be with a noble" blah blah shit and like on a stroll through the garden they suddenly say "am i crazy? maybe, we could happen...will you still be with me even if the magic is all gone?" based on the song : If only - Dove cameron ILY ZEN POOKIE/p 🌈🌈
XAV IS BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER GOOD PLOT!!! I changed it up abit, instead of dating we'll do marriage bc why not. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THIS SHORT THANK GOD
"If only.." ROYAL AU
Malleus x GN!reader Angst w/ Happy ending!
Tumblr media
"We have to break up, Malleus." Malleus turned to you with shock in his eyes, his heart stopped working for a second as he tried to register the words that came out from your mouth.
"Break up? What-why?!" He asked, his hand desperately holding unto yours, not wanting to let you go, "Your parents want you to marry a noble and not.."
He listened to your words whilst thinking about what he should do to save this relationship from its downfall, "and not someone like me." You continued.
His heart shattered into pieces as he heard those words coming out from you, "Someone like you?.." he mumbled out, pulling you towards him softly.
"I dont care about your status, Y/n. I will consider you as the love of my life and thats final. I promise I'll talk to my parents about this, I need too.."
He paused as he felt your hand touch his chest, his breathing becoming shaky as he sees your glossy eyes. "I need you in my life, Y/n." He finally finished, watching you press your body against his, sniffling and sobbing.
"I need you too, Malleus. B-but its better off if we break things and go our separate ways." You softly whispered against his chest, nuzzling closer and closer.
"I love you, Malleus. Dont forget that."

It had been months since that incident happened, months since you last talked. It was better off this way, a peasant and a noble marrying is too good to be true.
You knew that and you didnt regret what you did. It was better for both parties but you had to admit, it hurt. Alot.
-
-
You were now walking amongst the paths of a beautiful garden, watching and observing all sorts of flowers and plants as a way to clear your head off.
This very garden was therapeutic for you and you were glad it was near where you live.
But even if you came here in this beautiful garden to clear your head, you cant help but wonder what it would be like if you were born a noble.
You were probably going crazy at this point for thinking such thing, but you cant help but let those thoughts run in your head.
"Am I crazy? Maybe, we could happen... Would you still be with me if the magic is all gone..?" You talked to yourself for some time, "Just what would happen if we're still together, Malleus.. if we got the chance to marry and-"
"We would be happy, Y/n."
You jumped at the sudden intrusion, the familiar voice making you tremble instantly. You knew it was him, you knew it was the lover you were forced to break up with due to how different you were.
"Malleus, what are you doing here?" You sternly said, trying not to waver your voice as you felt a sting in your throat.
"I came to check up on how my love is doing." He smiled, ever so softly, making you clench your fist as you remembered that night.
"But, we're not together anymore.." You muttered out, whilst trying not to cry, voice already betraying you as it started to waver, "Who said we arent? I promised Id talk to my parents, yes?"
He walked closer and closer towards you, his hands gracefully touching yours, intertwining it and kissing it. "It took a while of convincing but.." he paused for a moment before continuing, "They agreed. Im their son after all, the heir of our Castle."
Hearing those words made you sob, almost instantly, arms swinging around his neck as you pulled him into a tight hug.
I guess marrying a noble as a peasant is too good to be true.. but who said it wasnt possible?

Ikaw talaga Xav, ang talino mo talaga sa plots

mm yummy malleus angst idea song lyrics
(playing off the idea of the long lifespan of fae compared to humans)
“Sometimes when I look in the mirror I still see your face resting on my shoulder And my heart beats so fast That I start to feel alive again”
“And the rain, it washes away all the pain 'Cause it feels like the sound of your voice And I'm comforted by the sweet smells of dew Because the sunrise reminds me of you”

Why hate me |part 2|
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/n: Finally! Part 2 here! Hope you enjoy lovelies🤍
Warnings: mentions of blood and a bit of body horror(?) I think idk but still putting that here just in case! Lots and LOTS of angst, malleus is bit of a jerk in the beginning. Angst to comfort/fluff
Words: 3k
-
News of your disappearance was broadcasted everywhere. The moment you stepped foot outside NRC grounds and never made it back to briar valley, all hell broke loose.
The people of briar valley were in panic
What happened to the future queen of briar valley? Where did she go? Was she abducted? And if so, is she even alive? Is the future queen alive?
What if she dead?
Those are the questions the people ask.
What could have possibly happened to you?
-
Lilia sighs as once again, nothing….no signs of you.
He’s been sending out royal guards to go out and look for you. He spent sleepless nights trying to find any evidence of your disappearance, but yet nothing.
When the news of your disappearance reached him, he was a mess. He was worried! You were just in NRC and now they’re saying you’re missing?!
He blames himself for not stopping you that day. He blames himself because he thinks he’s the reason why you disappeared.
If only he stopped you from leaving. If only he asked what was wrong. If only he didn’t let you come to NRC that day then maybe you would still be here.
Flashback
The sound of the door slamming shut reached the ears of everyone in the dining hall. The sounds of heels clicking off the marble floors and sniffling reached Lilia's ears.
And there you were
Standing by the doorway of the dining hall with an apologetic look.
“Sorry Lilia, but I have to go now” He frowns at your appearance.
Are you crying?
“Oh dear, what happened?” He asks as he stands up but you quickly stop him.
“No no! No need to worry about me. I-I just don’t feel well”
“Are you sick lady y/n?!” Sebek worriedly yells out. You giggle at his concern before smiling.
“Something like that. But I’ll go home now” Silver then quickly stands up.
“Your bags! I’ll go help-“
“There is no need, I have it all under control” You say before giving him a soft smile. Lilia still felt like something was wrong.
“Dear, did you have a fight with malleus?” He watches as your figure stiffens at the mention of the dragon boy's name.
“O-of course not! Mal is very good to me”
Something isn’t right….
You apologize once more before leaving.
That was the last time anyone saw you
And lilia regrets not stopping you
“Father” Lilia was snapped out of his thoughts by silver who stood by the doorway. Looking at him worriedly.
“Silver..” He smiles at the sight of his son.
“You haven’t slept at all” Lilia just smiles.
“Don’t worry about little old me, I’ll be fine” Silver frowns at his father's words. His father may be a fae, but silver knows that even faes can get tired.
“Y/n would not like this if she saw you right now” He says. Silver is also worried about you but he is even more worried about his father’s health.
Lilia just looks down knowing his son is right. You would always tell Lilia to take care of himself. Hating to see him or anyone sick because of poor health.
“How the search in your end” Silver looks down with disappointment.
“Nothing, we couldn’t find any traces of lady y/n” He says. Lilia sighs before turning around.
“Very well then….”
“Father”
“Yes?”
“Please take care of yourself….y/n would hate to see you stress”
Lilia only nods before silver excuses himself
“Just where could you be y/n” Lilia mumbles as he looks out the window.
-
Malleus walks around the palace garden, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the garden.
Ever since your disappearance. Him and the rest were allowed to go back home to handle the situation of your disappearance. To say he was displeased about leaving Akane alone at NRC was an understatement.
He hated everything about this.
So what if you're missing, Why is he supposed to care? Why is everyone making this a huge deal?
He hates that everyone is in panic and worried about your disappearance.
Future queen of briar valley missing? HA, you would never have been his queen in the first place if he got a say in it. He is only marrying you because of his parents' promise to yours!
You're a selfish and ignorant fool! Just like your parents. Your parents are the reason his parents are gone! Wanting the throne but only died in the process trying to achieve it.
That's why you're still alive. Because you want to finish what your parents have started!
That's why he promised himself to never love you! To not fall into the same trap his fell into.
Ever since he was little, after what he saw that day. He made sure not to fall for you.
Why couldn’t you just give up? Always with a sweet smile on your face. Couldn’t you see he is trying not to fall into the same trap his parents fell into? Why are you still so nice to him!
He did everything he could to make you give up and hate him but nothing! You called him sweet names even if he told you he hated them. You always made sure that he was okay and always looked after him.
You even cooked him food! Food that he never ate. Even after hours of working on it, he never ate it.
What if you poisoned it? He can’t fall for that!
He watches as you fail to get his trust. And when he thinks you have given up, nope! You still tried! You still continue to be that sweet and doting girl he grew up with.
Even when you guys were little, you were so nice and sweet to him. Always asking if he wanted to play with you, sharing your snacks with him even if he declined, asking him if he wants to take a stroll around the palace gardens, hell even asking him for a dance during balls!!
And he hates himself for falling for your charms. He hates that his little younger self fell for your foolish acts. That is why he made it his mission to act EXTRA cold towards you.
Even if his heart aches a bit at the small frown that decorates your face when he declines or ignores your attempts of gaining his trust.
But he can’t fall for the same trap his parents fell into, he can’t!
-
Whispers could be heard as Malleus walked down the palace halls.
Of course, once again mentioning you when they see him. One glare was enough to shut them up.
Malleus makes his way to Lilia room with both sebek and silver behind him. Once he reaches lilia room, the door opens.
“Malleus we need to talk” Malleus raises a brow.
“Is something wrong Lilia?”
“Yes please come in” malleus walks in as both silver and sebek wait outside. Lilia closes the door shut and sighs.
“Malleus…before y/n disappearance, did the two of you have an argument?” Malleus frowns at the mention of your name before letting out a deep sigh.
“Why are we talking about her? Why does it matter?” Lilia's eyes widen at Malleus' lack of concern for you.
“Malleus…she your fiancé”
“And so what if she’s my fiancé? She did us a favor for finally going away”
“Malleus”
“Why do you guys even care for seven sakes! She could have killed us if she becomes queen! It’s good that she is gone now so none of us could be in danger now!” Lilia stares at malleus with a hint of disappointment.
“Malleus, why do you think she dangerous?”
“Because she’ll turn out just like her parents. She’ll end up killing me after she becomes queen, isn’t that the whole reason why my parents are dead?!” Lilia's eyes widened in shock. Did malleus really think you’ll turn out like your parents.
“How-how did you know?”
“Because I saw it that day…I saw my parents die in the hands of her parents” Lilia sits down and motions for malleus to do the same. As the future king of briar valley sits down, Lilia begins talking.
“Malleus, you have it all wrong”
“What” Lilia pauses before talking again.
“Y/n had nothing to do with her parents plans of overtaking the throne, she doesn’t even know the real reason why her parents died. She thinks they died in a fire accident but they didn’t”
“Y/n never intended to hurt any of us. All the wrong things her parents did had nothing to do with her. She is innocent malleus, believe me when I say that she innocent”
Malleus looks shocked. Eyes wide and mouth agape.
Your innocent?
But-
“She has no clue about anything. She isn’t trying to kill you or any of us when she becomes queen. She genuinely loves you malleus”
“Because the way her eyes shine brighter than a thousand stars with adoration and love when she talks about you is proof that she will never do something like that to you”
She loves me?
“Impossible! That can’t be-“
“It’s true” His eyes snapped to the voice that interrupted him. It was silver.
“Silver what are-“
“I’m sorry father, but I can’t help but to stand up for lady y/n” His eyes then land to malleus.
“Y/n loves you very much. She always asks me about you and your wellbeing. She always tells me to make sure you're taking care of yourself and report back if anything seems off. She clearly loves you malleus”
At this point malleus was confused
You're not trying to kill him? Or the others? You're not trying to overtake his throne? You actually love him?
“I believe you need some time to think. Sebek, come take malleus back to his room please”
“Of course lord Lilia!”
Malleus gets up from his seat as he makes his way towards the door. As he was about to leave, Lilia called out to him.
“She not like her parents and she would never be”
Malleus then turns around and walks away
He misunderstood everything….
-
The sounds of birds chirping and the sound of the water stream calmed you as you continued walking down the rocky path.
How long has it been since you left? About….two weeks now…
You're sure Lilia and the others are worried sick but those cruel words that left malleus lips that night stuck to you like glue.
You should’ve died in that fire with your parents!
What did you even do to deserve such cruel words? Does malleus hate you that much?
Your thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sudden shouts and sounds of horses. You quickly ran from the path and hid behind a tree. You peeked and watched as multiple men in horses rode past you.
It was the Royal guards
They were definitely looking for you
You looked down before sighing again
“How long should I stay out here”
You won’t lie. You miss your home. But then again, you don’t want to face malleus again.
“Why do you hate me mal? Why?”
But your question was left unanswered
Suddenly, you felt a small pinch in your arm. You looked down at your arm to see a needle before looking around to see who did it. By the time you saw that you weren’t alone your vision started blurring.
You felt multiple hands grab you but you struggled as to whatever they injected you with was now flowing in your system.
“N-no..l..someone…someone please help!”
-
Your eye’s flutter open and you can feel your head ache. You groaned at the headache but then you started to feel weird. Very weird.
You didn’t know why, but your heart began to beat very fast for some reason. You look down to see that you were only in a long white nightgown dress.
But something still felt off
You then moved but stopped when you felt a sharp pain on your back. You also heard the sounds of chains hitting the ground and realized that you have chains on both of your wrists. You couldn’t move right as the pain in your back grew more intense.
What happened to you?
Where are you?
Suddenly, you hear a door open and you look up to see a shady man standing by the doorway.
“Your awake”
“Where am I?!” You scream out.
“Woah woah easy there now! No need to get all mad”
“What did you do to me?! You better h-have no-“
“Woah course not! But…we did something even better” He smirks and your eyes widen in fear at what he meant by that. He then calls some people over and you wait in fear.
What you saw next broke your heart as you started to shake in fear, sadness, and in rage.
3 strong tall men come in the room while also carrying something big ... .something big and something that means so much to you.
It was your wings
They have cut off your wings…
“Do you realize how much madol we could make off your wings? Especially since you're also a fae and even a royal fae at that!” He says as he lets out a loud laugh. You just stare at your wings that were held up on display in horror.
“We will be rich boys!”
They all cheered as all you could do was stare in agony.
“Thanks for wandering off all alone in those woods! Now we’ll make millions!”
They continue to cheer in front of you as you begin to cry. The pain from your back where your wings used to be and the pain in your heart was too much for your poor body.
How can people be so cruel?
Suddenly, their cheers were interrupted from a loud bang coming from outside. They stopped and looked at each other.
“What is that?”
“I-“ but before anyone could talk. The door to where you were slammed opened. From what you could make from your blurry vision, it seemed to be a guard.
Wait…a guard?!
“Lady y/n!”
“S-silver?”
You said before your body gave up.
-
You were back. You were finally back. But when Lilia saw the state that you were in when silver came in the castle holding you with blood covering him and you he felt like everything stopped.
He saw how much blood covered you and your dress. And his eyes widened in horror when he realized that your back had the most blood.
“Father….t-they..those bastards cut off her wings”
Immediately, he called in the royal doctors to clean and treat your wounds. He was devastated for you and felt like he failed you by not keeping you safe.
Those guys will pay for what they have done to you. He’ll make sure of it.
Lilia watches as you peacefully lay down on the bed. You were still unconscious. Maybe it was from the shock.
“I’m sorry I failed you my dear”
The door suddenly opens and he sees a worried malleus. Malleus' eyes then land on you before a look of guilt overcomes his face.
“You can come in” Lilia says. Malleus nods before coming in and closing the door. He didn’t know what to say or do. Still ashamed of his past actions.
It was silent for a moment. None of them said a single word. Until Lilia decided that someone had to speak up.
“The doctors said she will be fine. She is a strong one after all” Malleus nods.
“She’ll wake up in a bit” Again, malleus nods.
“And when she does you better apologize”
“I will. I’m very disappointed in my actions and for causing so much pain and distress to y/n”
Lilia nods.
“Silver asked me to tell you that the guys who did this to y/n are now in the castles dungeon waiting for punishment”
“Very well then” He then gets up
“I want you to stay here and look after her while I’ll go deal with them” Malleus nods. Lilia looks at you one last time before heading out.
Now it was only you and malleus. He hesitates if he should sit down next to you or not. But he decides on the first one.
He sits down and watches as you peacefully sleep. He feels guilty. Extremely guilty. If only he wasn’t so consumed with anger and hatred then maybe this could have all been avoided.
If only he didn’t spit out those cruel words to you that night then maybe you wouldn’t have been in danger.
He hates himself for causing you so much pain
And he’ll respect your wish if you no longer want to see him again or even decide to not marry him.
After all, he was really a piece of shit towards you
“M-mal?” His heart drops and he quickly turns to see you looking at him with curious eyes.
“Y/n” You look around and realize you were back at the palace. But then you quickly gasp when you remember.
“M-my wings…t-those monsters c-cut off my wings!” He could feel his heart ache when tears started rolling down your cheeks.
“I’m sorry….for everything” You were already sitting up as you continued to cry. Malleus didn’t know what to do. He was in distress seeing you crying and not knowing how to comfort you. He quickly got up and sat next to you in the bed as he then pulled you against his chest. He hugged you tightly as you continued to tremble in his arms by how much you were crying.
“My wings! My precious wings!”
“I know I know” He said as he tried to say comforting words as he held you. It was like that for a while until you finally started to calm down. All you could hear in the room was small sniffles coming from you.
Malleus still had a tight hold around you. Well not too tight since he doesn’t want to hurt you, especially your back.
“Y/n…I’m sorry this happened to you. And I also want to apologize about my earlier behavior towards you” You stayed silent.
“I know that my actions and words cannot be forgiven. But I still want you to know that I am truly sorry for the things I have done and said to you”
“And I’ll also make sure that those fools who dare to do this to you pay”
Again you were silent
Malleus didn’t mind your silence. Since again he was also not expecting you to forgive him straight away or even talk to him after everything.
“Malleus” He stiffened a bit when you said his name. Heart racing against his chest. He was nervous.
“I won’t say I’m not forgiving you…but I’m also not saying I’m forgiving you now”
“I will forgive you if you show me you truly are sorry after everything you’ve done” He nods.
“I’ll do anything to show you how truly sorry I am y/n”
You stayed silent and continued letting malleus hug you. You were quite satisfied with malleus answer.
“Very well then”
-
And trying he did. After malleus left your room to let you rest, he made his way down to the castle dungeon.
Once he got there, the guys were already in bad shape. They were severely beaten and they were already cowering in fear once they saw malleus.
“P-please! Have mercy!”
“W-were very s-sorry for w-what we have done!”
“Mercy? Sorry?!” He says furiously.
These fools have the audacity to beg for mercy and apologize even after what they did to you?!
“You guys have made a huge mistake cutting off a fae’s wings. And for what? Money?! And now you want me to show you mercy and take your apology?!” They shake in fear at malleus rage.
How foolish could these people be?
“From today onwards, you guys will suffer inhumane tortures until you can no longer take it anymore” Lilia says with a sinister grin.
“Guards! Take these fools to the torture chambers” loud pleas and apologies came from the men as they were dragged to the torture chambers.
Lilia then turns to malleus
“Has y/n awakened?”
“She has” Lilia nods.
“Did you apologize?”
“I did”
“And what did she say?”
“She told me that she will forgive me but not right now. I’ll have to work for her forgiveness and I promise I’ll do just that” Lilia smiles before patting malleus back.
“Well then, good luck”
-
You recovered over time. The people were happy that their future queen was found and safely protected in the palace’s walls.
Malleus and lilia decided to keep your accident a secret away from the people. Not wanting to cause any problems.
Lilia continues to check up on you. After everything that happened, he is scared that something like this will happen again.
But you try to calm him down and tell him that if anything is troubling you, you’ll tell him.
Which has calmed him down a bit. For now.
Silver is delighted that you're back and that now he has more time to spend with you. Whether it be walking around the palace garden, going into town, or even napping with him under some tree. Whatever it is, he doesn’t care because he loves spending time with you.
Sebek is also relieved that they have found you and that you have recovered. But still furious about what those people did to you. So That why he is always by your side 24/7 when you go outdoors, not that you mind.
And malleus. He is doing his absolute best to gain your forgiveness and to insure your safety. He doesn’t want to see you in pain ever again. He would never forgive himself if he saw you in pain again. Whether it be from others or worse, himself.
And you're happy that he is trying his hardest for your forgiveness.
To gain back your trust
and also your love
-
Here is the long awaited part 2! Yes Ik I did say I wanted to post part 2 of the vil angst and this at the same time but I finished this one early than the vil one so I couldn’t stop myself from posting it right away😓 but I hope part two clears up the bit of confusion from part one! (Why malleus hated reader!)
But! If your still confused. Basically reader’s parents were trying to overtake the throne and so they pretended to be very nice and lovely people which tricked malleus parents! That why he says “I can’t fall into the same trap my parents did!” Because his parents fell into reader’s parents fake kindness. Which resulted their deaths! (I hope that made sense..)
Anywaysss I hope you guys enjoyed!
Tag: @41sh4 @clover-w-anxiety @primrosesposts @nooneknows8976 @unloadingdata @dearangels @red-viewe @hachiko-ko @susvale
And I think that everyone who asked to be tagged ! If I missed anyone I’m truly sorry! I hope I didn’t miss anyone😓

(for your recent post)
hmmm how about mal and reader were having an argument or sumn then he's like " hmph let's not talk to each other for now >:( " so you grant him some space/or silent treatment and mal is like dramatically waiting for u to talk to him for HOURS in his room just brooding there and when he realize you're still ignoring him, he's like a pathetic sad wet cat needy for ur attention now bcs he couldn't stand being apart from u.
im sorry for the basic ass idea lol 😭 im just a sucker for silent treatment scenarios like this
Tumblr media
malleus x gn! reader
a/n: written as romantic -> FOAMING AT THE MOUTH, IM A SUCKER FOR THESE TOO 😔😔 hope i did this justice
.
one of the many things malleus adores about you is your stubbornness. the way you don't back down against what you think is wrong is something that will always set him ablaze with admiration for you.
though he doesn't quite like it when that pride is directed at him.
he's realizing this now when scornful words are spat between the two of you in the living room of ramshackle. clouds and lighting are beginning to gather as a response to his irritation and annoyance. he doesn't even know what this silly argument was even about or why it started in the first place, and unfortunately, malleus can be just as stubborn as can be.
"since you insist on being childish, i think it's best for us to not talk for a while," he isn't even looking at you as he says this, so when he disappears into pretty green firelights, he misses the hurt expression on your face as he leaves.
this is stupid, you think, but you bite your lip in worry as you walk upstairs and lay in bed, grim beside you snoring away. you said things you didn't mean so perhaps it's best to give him space, though how long that will go on is unknown to you since your lovely dragon is a fae with a rather skewed perception of time... whatever, he knows where to find you as soon as he decides he's comfortable enough to talk this out.
unbeknownst to you, malleus is now brooding in his room, lying face down on his pillow. the clouds around nrc have gotten worse, static brushing against the air as he waits for a phone call from you. preferably a sincere apology since he obviously deserves it after the things you've said.
...
well, he supposes it wasn't entirely your fault. he uttered words all to anger you as you did him, though none of them were true. you weren't childish, the opposite in fact-- having to take care of that first-year duo and that cat you're always hanging out with, taking precious time away when you could be stroking his hair and kissing his hands and petting his horns. as you do.
that's another thing he likes about you. even if you don't spend as much time together as he'd like, what you do to him is more than enough to compensate. you know he likes being kissed on the neck, you know he loves it when you take of his gloves and hold his hands, you know he loves when you lightly blow on his ear. you always look so happy when you do it too-- like seeing him smile makes you-
wait, isn't he supposed to be angry at you? he humphs and pouts when he realizes you still haven't called. he turns his head, eyebrows crossed and he stares at the phone on his desk. the only reason he learned how to use a phone was so you could contact him and send him texts and "memes" like you do with the rest of your friends.
he considers going to you himself but immediately shoves the idea away. he's still mad at you after all.
...
...
...
...
the clouds start pouring rain.
it isn't even the raging, storming kind-- the ones with howling winds and thunderous claps of lightning that illuminate the very sky. it's sad and cold that heavily drops on your already straining roof. your dampened mood worsens and you decide to get out of bed and make a hot drink to help you sleep.
you briefly glance at the alarm on your bedside table and see that it's 2:31 a.m., way too early to do anything at all.
just as you reach the bottom of the stairs, you hear 3 heavy knocks at the front door. any normal person would panic and call a friend for help, but your friends ace are usually the ones getting kicked out, so you figure something similar happened.
imagine your surprise when you see your boyfriend in all his 202 cm glory. his hair sticks to his face in an unfairly handsome way considering he's absolutely soaked, and somehow the look accentuates the pretty green hue of his eyes that have only ever looked at you like you were everything and more, even when he's angry at you.
...did he walk here?
you continue staring at him for a while and your realize that while your lover is incredibly beautiful- so much so the word beautiful could never begin to describe him- he is also very. pathetic. if only people knew how much of a wet cat he was. he even bumps his nose against yours as an act of affection sometimes.
and that fact is ever prominent right now. his arms are crosses and his lips are jutted in a cute pout, refusing to say a word.
"..."
"..."
"..."
you don't know what to do exactly, considering there isn't a manual for 'what to do when your draconic boyfriend stands outside your front door in the soaking rain while he remains completely silent', so you slowly turn and walk through ramshackle's living room and into your dainty little kitchen.
heavy footsteps follow close behind you, followed by a light thud of a closing door and the muffling of the rain. malleus continues to follow you when you boil enough water for two, when you take out your tea bags (gifted by kalim) and seep it into the water. you take the occasional glance here and there, wondering if you should speak before ultimately deciding against it. maybe he doesn't want to talk right now.
he sits closely next to you- so close your knees touch when you rest yourself on one of the seats against the table. your fingertips briefly touch when you pass him the newly brewed tea and it's almost like he wants to reach out to hold your hand, but he pulls away at the last second.
from there, you sit in silence. the heat of the mug spreads from your cold fingertips and you warm up as you drink your tea. already, your becoming tired. you look at mal once more and he still has that adorable pout on his face, but his eyebrows aren't as furrowed as before. usually, you'd gladly offer a cuddle during a rainy night, but tonight's been strange.
so when you try to leave your seat, a hand suddenly stops you. it's the first time he's looked you in the eyes the entire night and good god it's cute, lame and pitiful all at the same time. truly, a stray kitty in a box out in the rain begging for attention. his eyes look up at you in the saddest way possible and you swear you see a wet sheen-- and that damn pout that's going to be the fucking death of you one day is still there.
"i'm sorry," he mutters, and he shifts from one hand holding yours to two. "i can't stand being apart from you." the apology is blunt, honest and sincere, just like him.
you gently lift the hand he wasn't holding to his cheek and he nuzzles into it, closing his eyes as he enjoys your petting. something deep rumbles in his chest and you realize he's purring again.
"m' sorry too, mal. shouldn't have said what i said."
almost immediately, the heavy rain lessens before quickly coming to a stop. there's a smile on his face and the all-too-familiar, tell-tale blush on his cheeks. you place your finger under his chin and tilt his head before kissing him softly. he's dormant and still, like he's afraid of breaking this moment, but he tightens his grip on your hand like he's afraid you'll leave.
malleus chases your lips in hopes for more when you pull away all too soon. he's staring at you with a look as sweet and delicate as spun sugar.
"let's go to bed, mal."
he chuckles like he always does. "if you insist, my love." like he wasn't waiting, hoping you ask him.

Diasomnia Wakes Reader Up From a Sleeping Curse
Gender-neutral reader, Hurt/comfort. Poll Winner.
Tumblr media
Malleus Draconia
When he saw his beloved Y/N lying in their bed, he could feel both sadness and anger bubbling up in him. Ace Trappola and Deuce Spade had made a mistake in Potionology, and you were still paying the consequences of their own actions. The dragon fae gently took off his gloves and placed his hand delicately on your cheek, flinching at how cold your skin was.
If he didn’t know any better, he would have thought you were dead. The thought sent a shiver down his spine. Your name and death did not belong in the same sentence, let alone together at all. No, you were merely asleep, and of that he was glad.
He knew the cure for the curse, and he was a bit happy that he knew of your feelings for him, but that didn’t particularly mean he was your true love. The fact that you two were courting didn’t mean anything in matters like this. However, there was no harm in trying to wake you up. So, the Crowned Prince of Briar Valley held your face gently as he leaned forward.
His lips gently brushed up against yours, staying there for a few seconds. He pulled back, and upon seeing that you hadn’t moved, his heart became very heavy. He turned away and started pulling his gloves on, when…
“Tsunotarou?”
Malleus had never turned around so quickly as he rushed back to your bedside. He helped you sit up, and his chest was pounding as you looked into his eyes. You reached your hand out and held the side of his face, and the fae prince moved his face to press a kiss to your palm. Oh, he had never been so relieved.
He quickly leaned forward and placed another kiss upon your lips, and he was so glad to feel you reciprocate the affection. The Diasomnia crew was waiting in the living room, and they all stood up when they saw their leader carrying you in a bridal carry, silently announcing that you were alright.
Don’t get him mistaken, though. He is definitely going to bring pain and suffering to Ace and Deuce for inflicting such a curse upon his beloved. If he could, they would probably be burnt to a crisp. But, he will inform the Headmage so that the troublesome duo can be punished properly.
Tumblr media
Lilia Vanrouge
He was very amused to hear that his Y/N was put under a sleeping curse by the ADeuce duo. Oh, you could never stay away from those two, and it always led to you getting in trouble. No matter, as he loves playing the part of your knight in shining armor. However, as he gazed upon your sleeping figure, a grim atmosphere took place.
Your skin was cold to the touch, very unnatural for someone as lively as you usually were. It was a chill that he had known before, one that not even the coldest of winters could compare to. The freeze of death. It brought him only a little comfort to know that you were just asleep, a mock of death.
The two idiots who had put you under the curse had informed him of the cure, not that he needed it anyways because he already knew. What he didn’t know was if he was your true love, since he was certain that you were his. Lilia brushed some hair out of your face as he leaned forward.
As he held your face, he tried to feel if you went warm. However, when he pulled away from the kiss, there was no change. The fae’s heart was broken, and he worried that you would never wake up. As he walked to the door, he heard something.
“Darling?”
Mans just about ran back to your side, pressing kisses all over your face. Your skin had become warm, and the light in your eyes was back (albeit a bit dimmed). You took a bit of time to admire his mature form, as he didn’t have the energy to go back to the younger version of himself. His long hair was beautiful, and you ran your hand through it.
He urged you to stay in bed to recover some of your strength as he went down to the rest of the Diasomnia quartet to inform them that you were alright. Silver was glad that his ‘other parent’ (not official… yet) was alright, and even Sebek was relieved. Malleus was glad to hear that you would be recovering soon.
Oh, but what you or anyone else did not know was that as they were leaving you and Lilia behind at Ramshackle, the other three were going to fight Ace and Deuce in the most disrespectful way possible. I hope the boys like dirt, because they’re gonna be eating it soon.
Tumblr media
Silver
He was just in a complete state of shock when Sebek informed him that Ace and Deuce had accidentally put you under a sleeping curse. As his fellow knight, the half-fae felt obligated to be the one to share the news. He promised to cover the young Vanrouge’s guard shift as he went to go see you and help with the cure.
The moment he entered your bedroom, he could feel the atmosphere was completely off. Where was your voice? Where was his hug as he entered the door? He placed the back of his hand upon your forehead, only to retract his arm after discovering you were cold. 
One thing that Sebek made sure not to forget to tell Silver was that the only thing that could get you to wake up was a kiss of true love, and that scared him. One’s True Love is similar to a soulmate; one’s heart could not beat without the other. How was anyone sure that he was your true love?
Silver placed a gentle but fleeting kiss upon your lips, quickly pulling back to see if your eyes had opened, but nothing changed. The knight let two tears fall as he got up to leave. The moment where he placed his hand on the door handle, he heard you gasp.
“Love?” 
Oh, the sweet sound of your voice was the one that he needed to hear at that moment. He was immediately back at your side as he grabbed your hand in his to place a kiss on your knuckle. Upon touching you, you were warm. He could physically feel his heart beating again in pure relief that 1) he was your confirmed true love and 2) you would be okay.
Unfortunately, all of this really took a lot out of him, so he laid next to you in the bed and held you close. This caused you to laugh, brushing some hair out of his face as you cuddled into him and placed a kiss on his lips this time.
You made sure to text Lilia that you were okay and awake, and that Silver was exhausted, so he would be staying at Ramshackle overnight. He finally looked at peace in his sleep, and you quickly took a picture as a keepsake. However, you weren’t going back to sleep yet. You just woke up, after all.
Tumblr media
Sebek Zigvolt
He was in the Potionology class where you were put under the curse, and he was the one who lifted you up in a bridal carry and brought you back to Ramshackle so that you would be comfortable. The two imbeciles who caused this told him in the living room of the run-down dorm that the only known curse was a kiss of true love.
This caused a million thoughts to run through the half-fae’s head as he gazed upon your sleeping figure. Sure, the two of you were courting, but that didn’t mean he was your true love. He knew that you were his, because he placed you above Malleus in importance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be here.
Sebek took his glove off as he walked over to your bed side. He grabbed the side of your face, and he didn’t like how cold you were. He took a deep breath, before committing. He leaned towards your face to place his lips onto yours. A stray tear he didn’t know was coming fell upon your cheek, making it look like it was you who was crying. 
He felt as though you had every right. For everything you suffered through at the hands of Ace, Deuce, Grim, and Crowley, along with everyone else, he honestly wishes you would cry. Especially now, as there was no sign of you waking up. All his hope vanished as he got up to leave, when he heard you shift around in your bed.
“Sebek?”
The knight turned around to see that your eyes were open and looking at him as you tried to sit up. He rushed over to assist you, relieved that you were awake and alright. However, this made him realize something: he was your true love. He quickly placed a kiss upon your forehead, relishing in the warmth finally emitting from your skin.
As he helped you out of bed and with walking (a curse could leave you disoriented) downstairs, he made sure that at the bottom he gave the two idiots a piece of his mind. How dare they be so incompetent and not even apologize for making you go through that?
If you were being honest, the utmost care that the usually brash First Year was showing you as he gently sat you down at a nearby chair so that he could continue the argument made your heart melt. He was genuinely worried about you, and it definitely showed. You would think you were made of glass, but you were aware that it was his way of conveying his love for you.

Lost Heart [Malleus Angst]
I found a tiktok prompt a couple of days ago, actually. It was: "I miss you" "But I left" so I've decided to do this with our good dragon boy Malleus over here <333
this is also very much shit and i cannot stress this enough this is not my best work so pleasepleaseplease do not judge my writing off of this piece
HERE'S THE REMAKE
Tumblr media
youtube
He was never even invited to Yuu's going away party. Secluded in his castle, he had never gotten any news of the headmage even finding a way home for the magicless prefect.
When he went to Ramshackle dorm one night, he was expecting for Yuu to come out for another one of their night chats. But to his surprise, no one came outside. There wasn't even a sign someone was even inside the dorm. Hesitating before acting, Malleus made his way up to the gray wooden doors.
Pushing them open, he realized he hadn't ever gone past the common area of the dorm. Searching the rooms, he found no sign that Yuu was still living there.
Perhaps Child of Man had just slept at Heartslabyul Dorm tonight. Malleus reasoned. They do have two friends there, if I'm not mistaken.
Well, he was right about one thing.
Tumblr media
The fae prince expected to see Yuu the next morning, and deflated a little when he didn't. Sebek could tell that there was something off about him, but didn't want to question it and intrude. Besides, he himself was still a little saddened by the sudden leaving of a close peer of his.
"Sebek," Malleus suddenly said, calling upon the freshman.
"Yes, Waka-sama?" he came to a stop before bowing, waiting for a command.
But what followed was only a simple question.
"Where is Child of Man?"
Sebek's breath hitched before speaking, continuing to look at the ground. "They left three days ago, sir."
"What," Malleus said. It wasn't a question at all. He was shocked. Malleus never expected to not know about their departure. He thought they were... close. Maybe even friends.
Malleus felt lost. Standing still, Sebek still bowing, the Prince of the Fae felt more lost than ever.
