Serenading 101 [Douxie x Reader]

Hisirdoux Casperan is a nice person. Though a bit impatient and reckless, he means well. It's just that his lute playing didn't get him anywhere with getting a partner. His singing wasn't really getting him anywhere either.

But somehow, with his voice cracking and sloppy strumming, he got a partner. Somehow. I have no idea how, but he got one. Not even Merlin knew how. It was such a surprise to everyone who knew Douxie. Not even Douxie knew how and he was the one that somehow charmed his now partner, but it really boosted his ego.

Only the one being serenaded knew. Y/n.

Let's go back, shall we?

They were in the woods when they had met. Very romantic. Though how they met wasn't. Douxie had been practicing his magic in the woods when suddenly he had somehow gotten himself hung upside down from a tree branch. How you may ask? Ask the idiot who got himself upsidedown. Archie was very much enjoying the display, not really wanting to help, much to the idiot's dismay.

It was then they heard a noise from the bushes. Something was there. Or rather, someone.

A person. A charming one at that. Douxie was enchanted by them. They were the chicken soup to his soul. Something about them attracted Douxie. But him being upsidedown was bruising his ego. Especially in front of his potentially live of his immortal life. Being upsidedown was not a good look.

"Um, hi." Douxie's voice cracked much to his displeasure. Y/n giggled at him and the situation he was in. Douxie didn't really carr as of this moment, he was too distracted by their heavenly laugh. He might've been floating by how happy he was right now. It might've been the blood flowing to his brain.

"Are you alright? You're quite in the predicament."

"Oh, this? It's nothing. It's actually quite comfy. Do you want to try?" Yup. He's gone mad. Too much blood flow to his brain. Douxie realised how dumb that sounded and laughed out of embarrassment (and or lightheadedness). Y/n laughed at the unexpected answer, making Douxie swoon at the sound once more. Maybe it was worth the embarrassment. He was considering staying there and crack jokes just to hear them laugh again.

But even though with how much he wanted to stay there, he'll most definitely faint and die with how much blood there is in his brain. No matter how good it may seem, you're gonna die man.

"Clearly, you've gone delusional. Here, I'll help you down." Y/n climbed up the tree and loosened up Douxie's foot that had gotten stuck. They didn't really give a warning so Douxie came crashing down, resulting in a possible head injury. Maybe a concussion.

"Sorry about that! Forgot to give you a warning. My bad."

"It's alright! I've had worse experiences than this."

"And what would that be?"

"I'd....rather not tell.." Milking a slorr. That's worse than almost dying by too much blood in the brain and or a concussion.

"What were you doing here in the woods anyway? Hoping to get torn into bits by Gunmar and his lackeys?" Y/n jokingly said while helping the injured idiot up.

Douxie groaned at his aching body and growing headache. Maybe he should learn some healing spells once he gets back. "I could say the same about you. What are you doing in the woods?" His balance slightly faltered because of the sudden drop in blood pressure from his head, making his sense of sight filling up with static and his hearing filled with ringing. Y/n held him upright until he has fully regained his balance.

"Hey, i was the one that asked first."

"Okay, fine. I was just practicing my magic. Merlin is not keen on teaching me how to do spells so i took it upon myself to practice my spells. Your turn, darling."
