Malleus Angst - Tumblr Posts
“And the lawn is dead
with Malleus Draconia”
“I no longer love you, Malleus.”
Those words lingered in his mind, engraved into his brain like a branding. The man who loved and adored you so dearly, was now left to his own devices. He might have just been a cat left in the freezing rain. That would be less pitiful, less pathetic.
He wanted, so severely, to believe it was a prank. Even going as far as to choke out a bitter and empty laugh. But your face was devoid of the smile that would make his face heart melt.
He had almost snapped at Sebek, as the freshman vowed to make you regret breaking the heart of his retainer. No amount of pleading, begging, anything would make you return to him willingly. He’d come to that cruel realization when Lilia brought it up.
His whole life, he’d been given anything and everything he desired due to his royal status and place of power, except the absence of loneliness . And then you offered company, without any care for such nonsense.
Why did you take away the thing he held so dearly?

He remembered the first time you danced together. He remembered holding your waist, your hand on his shoulder, your right hand intertwining with his left one, your dress swaying with every moment. He remembered you stumbling over his feet in the beginning, awkward laughter escaping your lips and your flustered expression when he dipped you and leaned in close.
Over the years this dance was repeated except you got better at it. No longer were you stumbling and the awkward laughter became genuine and delightful giggling. But you always turned flustered when he leaned in close.
On your wedding day when dipped you during the dance, he had kissed you and that of course had made you even more flustered than normal. During your honeymoon he danced with you outside in the cottage garden. When you told him you were pregnant he had danced with you so gleefully. When your children had grown old enough they would sometimes interrupt in the middle of the dance much to his frustration.
Your dances would continue through the decades until the day you got too tired to get out of bed. Your weakened limbs didn’t have the energy to dance anymore and soon they would no longer move at all. When you had drawn your final breath he had broken down in sorrow and grief. Your children were grieving with him, but eventually managed to recover the strength to move on. He on the other hand could not, years later he still dances with your ghost, recalling the steps, the memories of you, the stumbling, the laughter and the romance. He knew that one day you would leave the living world but he could never let you go. Till death do you apart was only a temporary separation, eventually he would join you. But till then he would continue dancing his sentimental waltz.

Dance With Me.
Kinda Malleus x Reader!Yuu. Slight spoilers for Chapter Seven (I haven't read nor looked at translations). But enjoy! Reader is Gender Nuetral.
WARNINGS: SLIGHT CHAPTER SEVEN SPOILERS, captivity, deliriousness.
Timeless.
Endless.
Dizziness.
That's all (Name) felt as they waltz with strangers. It was endless, the music was never-ending, the same symphony would get quiet and then repeat.
Once it got quiet (Name) would hear humming.
(Name) got off the stranger, politely excusing themselves. (Name) walked around trying to find the source of the humming, it was quiet, but soothing.
(Name) went up stairs only to re-enter the ballroom they were just in, same with going down stairs. They always re-enter the same ballroom.
'This is getting stranger and stranger by the minute'. (Name) was lost, the humming wouldn't get louder or softer, it was consistent.
The symphony slowly picked back up where it started, 'how did I get here? Where am I' (Name) looked around, feeling dizzy by the guest waltzing around them, the spinning and laughter around them was endless.
"Mind if I steal this dance?"
(Name) looked up to the figure, 'he is enchanting'. Feeling heat rise to their face, they nodded.
The man chuckled, leading them to the center of the ballroom.
(Name) felt eyes grow on them, but the humming stopped, causing them to look around.
"Is everything alright my dear?"
(Name) looked at the man, "um, yes".
"Are you sure? You look so uncertain, are you nervous?". His smile was warm but felt so sinister.
(Name) rested their head on the man's chest as they danced, "Well, kinda. Where are we?".
The ceiling was endless as were all the rooms, the room stretched, what looked like hundreds of people dancing around the two.
(Name) looked closer at the man, his horns where decorated with lace covering his eyes, but oh was it his eyes that stood out the most. The envy green eyes that pierced their mind, their soul and swallowed them whole.
"Say, have we met before?"
He smiled at them, adoring thier curiosity, "Of course, once upon a dream".
"A dream?" (Name) was puzzled, when was the last time they dreamed? They felt like they were so busy, but they can't seem to remember anything before this dance.
"NAME!"
(Name) looked around, "did you hear that?".
"Hear what love?" The man hummed, humming, that irritable humming.
(Name) felt themselves getting angry, that humming was making their head hurt, "My name! That's my name! And your name... what is your name?".
"Names are very powerful, Little one, do you really wish to know my name?"
"Well, I think that I know you"
"NAME! WAKE UP!"
The whole room shook, dust falling on everyone, people around them were glitching, in and out of place.
"Wait, wake up? Am I in a dream? Sir, where are we?". (Name) tried to break away from the man, but was shoved back into his arms.
"It seems that we are being distributed". The man holds (Name)'s cheeks, rubbing them softly.
(Name) feel nauseous, worry crept up their spine, alarm bells ringing in their head, "I think I should be going sir".
"Oh no, we can't have that, shhhh. It's okay, just relax" The man picked up (Name), rocking them as if they were a baby.
The man softly hummed as he rocked (Name), the ballroom got dark, the music finally stopping.
"Shhh, it's okay (Name). I'll give us a better dream, where no one can disturb us". The man kissed the top of their head.
(Name) felt themselves relaxed, listening to the soft humming, their eyes slowly closing once last time.
Sorry! This was kinda rushed, I had to get this off my mind. I hope you enjoyed! Ask and request are always opened!
"Ah, Malleus, what's wrong?" Asked a worried Lilia. Malleus lifts his head up looking towards the night sky then swiftly moves his gaze towards a single white rose from the dorm's garden. With a quiet voice, he asks the other fae
"Why does fate has to be so cruel.. and take them away from me..?" His voice breaks but his face doesn't change in the slightest, still emotionless but with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
'I've seen all kind of emotions from Malleus..'
A quiet singing voice could be faintly heard in every memories that the fae Prince experienced with the one that will continue to shine like gold in his memories.
A single face could be seen in his memories as he fondly smiled, and for the last time looked at the white rose, as he turned around and looked at Lilia and said "Let's go, Silver and Sebek are still waiting for us."
'I never would have thought that Malleus..'
'..Would openly show me his regret and sorrow to me, about them..'
Lilia thought as he looked at the white rose for a brief moment, his eyes widened as he saw a glimpse of a person..
That person, was smiling and mouthed a silent 'Take care of Malleus, for me, would you?' As the figure finished, their ghostly silhouette turned into dust and the wind flew the dust towards the moon.
Smiling, Lilia nodded and thought 'I will... for everything you've done for him, I'll pay your kindness back..'
'..Yuu...'
