''Set Me Free'' Malleus Draconia x Ghost!Reader

{So we know that Malleus likes abandoned places, which is why and how he met Yuu, right? Well, I've been trying to think of a more creative concept to write about. So, why not write a Malleus x Ghost! Reader? I mean there's already some ghosts inhabiting Ramshackle Dorm to begin with, so why not join em? I don't wanna keep you guys any longer than necessary so I'll cut to the chase; this shot will be a fluff+angst mix. Now without further-udo, please enjoy...~}

It was a peaceful night. Stars scattered out like diamonds only brought out the enchanting hue of a full moon; they contrasted the deep, dark navy blue sky. The perfect time to take a midnight stroll, is it not? Malleus thought it was. The respected, yet frightening fae had taken a liking to what was known as Ramshackle Dorm. The abandoned dorm was like a playground to him. Like headmage Dire Crowley once said; the place had much character. It was one of the soon-to-be King of Briar Valley favorite places to go. Something he loved most about the dorm was the gargoyles that rested outside the dorm. He truly loved this abandoned place. Or so he thought it was abandoned. . .

As the fae was walking around the dorm, a figure in the distance caught his eye.

'Why would anyone be here at this hour? What Housewarden would allow their students out of their dorm this late...' Malleus thought. Curiosity got the better of him, and he sought out this mysterious creature before him. The closer he got to you, the more he realized what and why you would be out.

You were a ghost.

"My, I guess I could assume why a creature such as yourself would be in a place like this." The man spoke creeping up behind you.

You turned around for you were not facing the unfamiliar voice, and behold there he was. The man who boldly confronted you. You stared in shock at what, or who was before you.

A deep chuckle left his slippery lips, "What? Does someone like you fear me as well?"

"I-... I'm sorry. I just... Haven't seen or spoken to someone who hasn't reached the same fate as me in...quite some time..." You responded.

"Hm, I suppose that does make sense, yes."

Upon closer inspection, you noticed that this strange man had horns and a powerful aura to him. Could he be...

"I again apologize for the intrusion, but would you happen to be Malleus Draconia...?" Though you weren't familiar with the man yourself, you've heard stories about a man descended from fae with horns like his. He was rumored to be one of the most powerful mages in Twisted Wonderland, too.

"Yes, that would be me. Does that name strike fear into your unfulfilled soul?" Malleus questioned.

"Should it?" You questioned back.

Another chuckle escaped Malleus's lips. The two of you had hardly been talking for 5 minutes yet he already found himself intrigued by you, and you the same.

"Tell me, damned soul, what is your name?" He only said it as it was; you were a damned soul, unable to move on into the afterlife. There was no point in getting sensitive about it.

"Prefect..."

" 'Prefect'? What a strange yet befitting name... Tell me, Prefect, why have you chosen to haunt this dorm? I understand that ghosts do sometimes have a particular liking to abandoned buildings such as myself, but ghosts also have a liking to scaring those of the living. I doubt anything but rodents and bugs would be the only other inhabitants of this place."
