Malleus Draconia x Ace! Reader
Word Count: 668
You and Malleus are in love with each other. There’s no doubt to you that the pining between the two of you is mutual, but the relationship between the two of you remains ambiguous and carefully unacknowledged on your part as you step around these unspoken feelings until Malleus takes you on your usual evening walk with him around NRC.

The night was the same as any other - you and one Malleus Draconia were out for one of your nightly outings after he’d deigned to drop by for a visit. There wasn’t truly anything out of the ordinary on this night at first glance. Conversation was as light hearted as always, flowing from the day’s assignments to Malleus teaching you about the architecture of any buildings the two of you wandered past under the light of the moon.
He’d usually take you on an aimless loop about campus to look at the various gargoyles and grotesques that Night Raven had to offer until the two of you eventually returned to Ramshackle at the end of the night…but tonight he led you into the woods beyond campus with a promise of a surprise ahead.
“Can I get any hints of what this surprise might be?”
You tried to peek around him, but he blocked the path ahead from view as the two of you walked, moving in front of every way you swiveled your head.
“You’ll spoil yourself in your impatience,” he teased before suddenly stopping, flashing you one of his smug smiles. “We’ve arrived.”
You couldn’t help but gasp when you stepped past him and found that what he’d led you to was a meadow of pale blue flowers that glowed with a gentle bioluminescence , some of the flowers blooming an ethereal white where dapples of moonlight touched their petals. Nestled carefully among this meadow was a picnic blanket and a basket with carefully wrapped sandwiches within.
Malleus walked for the picnic blanket, turning to flash you another smile. “Join me?”
You smile and take his hand, the night song of nocturnal birds a peaceful backdrop as the two of you sat to picnic.
“I can’t help but wonder what I’d done to earn such a nice surprise?” You ask, half suspecting that you already knew, but not quite ready to breach voicing it out loud just yet.
The way the two of you were now, in the ambiguous and unspoken relationship that you’d been sharing, was a constant tip-toe recently. A status quo you weren’t quite ready to confront for something deeper between the two of you.
“Is it not obvious how infatuated I am?” Malleus gently challenged, looking you in the eye. “I’m simply repaying your devotion to me in kind.”
You found yourself breathless as he lifted your hand to press a chaste kiss to your knuckles.
“Are you courting me?” You blurt out, heart racing, mouth suddenly dry.
It was obvious that the confrontation between the two of you was going to happen between the two of you soon enough, of what the two of you wanted out of the feelings flowing between the two of you, but…
“I am,” he confirmed, his eyes attempting to search yours, but you’d already looked away from him, overwhelmed by the tumult of emotion welling within you.
“Malleus,” you manage to whisper out, before swallowing and attempting to get your words out again. “I…I, I, um…I should’ve seen this coming, I…but I, uh…before you try to court me in earnest, you should know that…That I don’t experience sexual attraction. If you aren’t okay with - “
“Is that not considered the norm for humans?” Malleus interrupted you and you looked up in confusion, only to find him looking back at you with just as much confusion.
“I…huh?”
“Is not experiencing attraction of a sexual nature not the norm for humans?” He repeats for you, his thumb rubbing the knuckles of the hand that he still held soothingly.
“No, it’s..it’s not. Does that mean you…?”
Malleus shrugs, smiling at you reassuringly, “I am unsure if I am an exception to any norms among the fae, but it would seem that you and I are the same.”
The laugh that escaped you unbidden as your smile slowly returned sapped the tension from your shoulders. “We’re the same?”
“We’re the same, my love,” he reaffirmed, pressing a kiss to your forehead.
Apologies that it was a bit short, but I hope that you enjoyed! :)
