Malleus x Cater fics

{His Diamond}

Diamonds.

Diamonds are Malleus favorite gems. They remind him of warmth, of love, of mornings spent in bed with his darling diamond. He had felt so isolated, so lonely, for most of his time at Night raven collage, years spent with people looking at him in fear. Only having his dorm and Lilia (Who is practically family) to really talk to.

That was until a certain diamond asked to team up for a project.

He had really missed talking to the younger boy. When Cater was in the position of dorm leader they would have lengthy conversations about flowers and play card games. Cater was certainly a fun person to be around, he was a trickster but not in a mean or rude way, in a friendly way. It was how the boy showed he cared. And as time went on, it became Malleus favorite thing to do in his free time. To sit in either Heartslabyul or Diasomnia and play games or listen to music while drinking tea.

Then, second year happened.

Things were going fine, same as last year (minus the new first years) that was until four months into the school year. Word spread fast, Cater Diamond had lost his position as housewardon to first year Riddle Rosehearts. Of course Malleus had heard about what had happened, and as he sat there in the Diasomnia lounge processing the information he had just been told. Malleus couldn't help but feel a deep pang of sorrow wash over him.

The diamond had expressed how proud he was to be in the position he was, how proud he was to be trusted by his dorm to make it a fun and easy going place. And the way he talked about his dorm, with such pride and love, it was nice to see the boy so genuinely happy. He shined so beautifully, his diamond.

And now it's been taken away from him.

As they started their third year. One more year of school, just over half a year since the incident.

His diamond never shined as bright. All his sadness and anger hidden behind that damn smile. It wasn't a genuine smile, it was a façade. But Malleus seemed to be the only one to see that. Malleus was frightened at the idea of never seeing his real smile again, that his diamond would never come back to him. He was certain he wouldn't.

It wasn't really a secret that the fea had feelings for the boy, people just didn't care enough to look into the way he looked at the diamond. That loving, longing look that was only saved for his diamond, and if it weren't for his pride and the humiliation, he'd announce his love for the boy to the entire school if that was what it took for people to believe him.

Then, on one fateful day, he was given another chance to hang out again. To get his diamond back.

After they finished the project, Cater asked if maybe he wanted to meet up at a café, go see a movie or to just stay at one of their rooms with some ice cream (It was endearing that Cater remembered that it was his favorite) and just chill.

Of course, he agreed. This was a chance to rekindle what he had with his diamond after all. And he wasn't about to give that chance up.

And after that date, they agreed to a second, then a third, each time they learnt new stuff about each other. Malleus learnt just how much the incident had affected him, he even talked about his family (something Cater barely ever talked about). And the fea found himself falling even deeper in love with his diamond.

And in the end, it was him who ended up asking the boy out. As they sat in Malleus room, he couldn't help it, the other boy looked so majestic with his hair down, in his casual clothes. He was so scared that Cater would say no, that he'd make their relationship weird all because he couldn't help but ask the boy he'd help feelings for since he laid his eyes on him.

And to his surprise, all the diamond did was pull him down into a kiss while holding the taller boy close. As he pulled away his diamond softly but confidently answered a small yes as he cuddled up into the strong muscular arms of the fea. The only thought that went through his head as they sat there was, my diamond is finally mine.

They fell asleep that night in each others arms, they had never felt so calm in their entire lives. They didn't hear Lilia come into the room, or how they draped a blanket over the two, the only noise that could be heard was the sound of rain thumping against the window, with the lone sound of a door being creaked shut.
