Hello! If I may, I would like to request a ficlet with Malleus Draconia with a GenderNeutral!Reader with the word 'Halcyon'?
A little snippet dedicated to the special man of the house @ee-furoido for writing the wonderful piece ‘Cat’ for the Twstober challenge. Please do consider checking their work on the challenge out.
The Possibilities are Endless
“Spread your wings and fly.” 
Tumblr media
“If you excuse me, gentlemen,” Malleus stood up from the table, his eyes closed and his back felt painful, the week was tiring and he needed some rest. “I will be in the aviary if you need me.” As the heir moved away, Lilia let out a small laugh. “Will your friend be visiting us again?”
“They will. Please see to it that they are warm when they arrive. It is quite cold outside.”
“Understood.” It was Sebek who stood up first, then Silver, and Lilia from their chairs and went their separate ways to make the preparations for the guest that was to arrive soon. Malleus hoped that Lilia would not be in charge of making the food this time, though his tongue was able to take the odd taste preference of his caretaker, he was very certain that his friend may not share the same sentiment.
His aviary was something akin to comfortable open cage, his collection of birds flying about and only a single exit high above allowing for controlled entering and exiting but not that it was needed given the immense care Malleus had given then during their lifetimes. A small bird landed on his shoulder as he entered, cooing into his ear in greeting. A small bird that came to him in its time of need with a broken wing and suffering from hypothermia, the prince always thought it was a miracle such a small thing had been found at the height of the storm.
Through its recovery did he realize that he taken in a beautiful bird with feathers as blue a sapphire and belly as yellow as topaz.
“How are you, Miracle? You’re quite energetic today.” He stroked its chin making it ruffle its feathers and chirp in delight. “How is your wing? Are you able to hold yourself up longer now?”
A chirp of affirmation and the bird began to fly, flapping its wings and staying off his shoulder for longer than he expected. As it lost its energy, Malleus caught the small bird in his hand and used his other finger to stroke his head. “Very good, that was wonderful. A little more practice and you’ll be able to fly up to the exit.”
A chirp against his finger. The bird wanted to explore beyond the door and Malleus could only shake his head.
“Forgive me little one. The door I passed through is not a place a little bird like you can go through. There are those who might hurt you if you were to pass through it with me.”
“I hope I’m not part of the list.” The prefect smiled, closing the door behind them. Around their neck was a scarf or the finest cotton and in their hand a two cups of hot chocolate. Ah, so it wasn’t Lilia who was in charge this time. Wonderful. “You wouldn’t hurt a fly.” Malleus patted their shoulder. “I hope that the trip wasn’t too harrowing.”
“I may not be capable of magic but at least I can walk through the cold.” They handed the cup to Malleus who smelled the faintest smell of peppermint, ah Silver made it. “I’m green with envy, my friend.”
Their eyes moved to the beautiful bird on Malleus’ shoulder, its feathers a lovely mix of blue and red. “So this is Miracle. Such pretty feathers. So blue!” The bird chirped against the prefect’s loving gestures. “This is the one that needed treatment for the wing, right? It’s looking better already.”
“Indeed. With a few more days to practice, I feel Miracle will be able to fly out of here.” The bird chirped and Malleus continued stroking its chin. “Sit with me. Tell me how your day went.”
“Great Seven, where do I start?”
 “So you’re telling me that the Leech twins added cats to the lounge as a one-time event?” Malleus raised his brows in surprise as the prefect set down some pictures of cute cats along with the Octanivelle students with ears and tails. “My, the twins have indeed outdone themselves.”
“That’s not even all there is to it! Their menu is full of cat puns! I couldn’t read through them because of how cheesy they were.”
“Jade?”
“Jade.”
The prince laughed, shoulders bobbing and eyes squeezed shut. “Oh, that is precious. I do hope the food was as good as the names.” The prefects shoulder hunch, their face scrunched up with an expression of thought. “50-50.For the price they sell it in, it’s a little too over the top if you ask me.”
Miracle jumps around them, hoping around the warm mugs which made Malleus chuckle. It was a peaceful time for him, seeing Miracle jump around the table and around their fingers was a lovely sight to see, his friend’s smile and laugh as other birds came up to greet them and watch out of curiosity.
The halcyon chirped and jumped around again, falling onto its back in excitement making the prefect laugh. “Miracle is so energetic.”
“They are, indeed. I can’t wait to see them fly even higher.”
“I’m sure they will soon. You’ve been taking care of it for so long.”
The feeling of peace warmed his heart so.
“And I’ll be sure to tell you how it goes.”
The Halycon perched itself on the prefect’s fingers. “I can’t wait to hear it.”
