Twisted Tales: Vampire Bites By Midnight (Malleus x Reader)

Fang 36: Aftermaths and Plans in the Mist, pt 1

Your POV:

Malleus called a servant to escort you to your room and once you went in something ran at your legs.

You looked down to see Grim hugging your ankles and sobbing uncontrollably.

"Whebweryooo," he said through ugly sobs, "Ithobthebhurbooo!"

You raised your brows at Grim's reaction but took him into your arms as you made your way to the bed.

"You were that worried about me, huh?"

"Uh, duh!" Grim said as he sat on your lap, "I thought I'd never see ya again!"

You hugged him.

"Sorry Grimmy," you said softly, "I just got so overwhelmed and-I dunno," you neglected to tell him about the incident with Sebek and Lilia for obvious reasons.

He was already worried, Grim didn't need that on top of not being able to see you the whole day.

"What happened?" Grim asked as he looked up at you, "Where'd ya go?"

You hesitated before answering.

"I met the prince of Vampires, Grim. The owner of this place."

His already large eyes went wide as saucers.

"No way...how'd you survive a meeting with the head honcho?!"

You laughed nervously.

"He's, uh, not as bad as the others. He fed me when we got back."

"Whaaaat?! You mean this whole time you've been eatin' good without saving me anything?!"

"What about you?"

"Don't try to change the subject you jerk! We're a team, or so I thought!"

"Grim."

He crossed his "arms".

"Fine, fine, I'll tell ya. That Silver guy was weird but not a bad guy at all, though a little clingy. He kept brushing my hair and squishing my face and paws like I was some pet cat!"

You laughed at him.

"You are pretty cute, Grim," you reasoned between laughs.

He seemed to take exception to this.

"Hey! I'm not cute, I'm fierce! I don't need some vampire lookin' down on me!"

This made you laugh even more, much to Grim's ire.

"Oi, stop it!" he pleaded, looking like he wanted to cry.

"Whoa don't cry on me now."

Wordlessly, Silver appeared without warning as he always did, though you were starting to get used to it.

Grim however did not, and yelled when he saw him.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to suddenly pop up like that?!"

You grabbed Grim and held him, giving Silver a mean glare.

"Oi-!" Grim said as he rested against your chest. "You're squishing me, Y/n!!"

"Not this time, Silver," you said as you stared him down.

Surprisingly his features softened, showing remorse in his eyes.

"I apologize. I realize I may have been the reason behind what happened."

Grim blinked.

"Eh? Ya mean the fact my henchhuman met your boss?"

Silver cocked his head in confusion.

"No, about the-" you placed a hand on his mouth and dragged him to the bathroom (he was surprisingly light) while Grim was left in the bed room cocking his head.

"Don't tell Grim about the incident with Sebek and Lilia," you whispered in his ear, "it'll hurt 'im."

Silver's eyes widened in realization.

"Oh..."

He then turned to you, his face morphing back to his usual stoic expression.

"What do we do about our sudden disappearance?"

Now it was your turn to widen your eyes; your moment of impulse must've been a shock to Grim, and you weren't able to explain that.

"...."

You stared at Silver for a moment, thinking about a proper answer.

He raised a brow, but for only a second.

You turned away and sighed.

"I dunno how to put this...got any ideas?"

He shook his head.

You sighed, letting your head hang low.

Suddenly, the door flew open, which startled you (if it caught Silver off guard you couldn't tell) and you went towards it only to slip.

Luckily Silver caught you before you hit the ground but the way he grabbed you made the both of you nose to nose, which made you uncomfortable.

The both of you turned towards the door to see Grim's head peek in.

"What're y'all whispering about-myah?"

He stopped and stared as he made his way into the bathroom.

Realizing how the both of you looked, you backed away from one another.

"Myah?!" He flew his paws in the air in shock.

You stepped over Grim and ran into the room while Silver went invisible again, a skill you all but wished you could use at this moment.

Grim stayed silent as he walked towards the bed, although you weren't sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

You were just hoping the day would end already.

Lilia's POV:

I made my way to the dark hall that lead to Malleus's room, ready to tell him off.

He's a primordial and yet he's thinking like those miserable red bloods!

I knocked on the door until it opened.

I forced my way in, not bothering with formalities.

He blinked.

"Oh, do come in," he said sarcastically.

"I found out about what happened when you nabbed that human after it ran away!" I said as I crossed my arms.

He just raised a brow as if he hadn't the slightest idea what I was talking about.

"Is that so?"

"Don't play dumb," I jabbed a finger at him, "my bats can cover an entire country! Of course, I'd know you and that Child of Eden were off dilly-dallying!"

He gave me a strange look.

"Is that any way to talk about my spouse?"

"That fool wants nothing to do with you! I told you, Malleus, you're too soft! That is the very reason why those wolf-dogs look down on us!"

He gave out an exhausted sigh.

"Well forgive me for not sharing a liking to your methods, but frankly, I want my spouse to want to be near me."
