I'm feeding yall today
The sun was beginning to set over the magical grounds of Night Raven College, casting long shadows across the meticulously groomed gardens and ancient trees. As I walked through the lush pathways, the golden light filtering through the leaves felt almost enchanted. It was just another day in this extraordinary place, but today had an air of anticipation that I couldn't quite shake off.
I had spent most of the day studying in the library, surrounded by ancient tomes and magical scrolls. My mind was focused, but my thoughts kept drifting to Malleus Draconia. He was always a figure of fascination and mystery—rumored to be a powerful fae prince with an enigmatic presence that drew people to him.
Our interactions had always been polite, with Malleus displaying his usual dignified demeanor. Despite this, I couldn't deny the flutter of excitement I felt whenever he was near. The way he would glance in my direction with those striking green eyes or how his deep voice would resonate when he spoke to me sent my heart racing.
Today, however, felt different. There was an unusual calmness in the air, as if something significant was about to unfold. As I approached the old oak tree near the edge of the garden—a place where Malleus and I had shared a few conversations—I noticed him standing there, waiting. His tall figure was clad in his usual regal attire, his long, ebony hair cascading down his back like a dark waterfall. He looked both serene and commanding, a perfect embodiment of his fae heritage.
My heart skipped a beat as I approached him, the setting sun casting a warm glow over his face. He turned to me, and I felt the world around us fade away, leaving just the two of us.
"Y/N," Malleus said, his voice smooth and melodic, "I'm glad you could join me."
I smiled, trying to keep my voice steady. "Of course, Malleus. It's a beautiful evening, isn't it?"
He nodded, his gaze softening as he looked at me. "Yes, it is. I find this time of day to be quite serene. It reminds me of the tranquility of the fae realm."
As we stood beneath the old oak tree, the conversation flowed naturally, each word a testament to the growing connection between us. Malleus spoke with a passion about the fae realm, its magic, and its wonders, and I listened with rapt attention, captivated by his every word.
Eventually, our conversation turned to more personal topics, and I found myself opening up about my own experiences and dreams. Malleus listened intently, his eyes never leaving mine, and I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of understanding between us.
After a while, there was a comfortable silence, filled only with the sounds of the evening breeze rustling through the leaves. Malleus took a deep breath, his expression turning contemplative.
"There's something I've been meaning to tell you," he began, his voice tinged with a rare hint of nervousness. "It's not often that I find myself in such a position, but I feel compelled to speak my heart."
I looked at him, my curiosity piqued. "What is it, Malleus?"
He took a step closer, his gaze unwavering. "Y/N, I've come to realize that my feelings for you have grown beyond mere friendship. The more I spend time with you, the more I am drawn to your kindness, your intelligence, and your spirit."
My heart raced at his words, and I felt a flush of warmth spread across my cheeks. I had often wondered if he felt the same way I did, but hearing him express his feelings so openly was both exhilarating and overwhelming.
"Malleus," I said softly, "I—"
He held up a hand, his expression serious yet gentle. "Please, let me finish. I know that my world is quite different from yours, and that our paths are not always easy to navigate. But I cannot ignore what I feel any longer. I wish to ask you, Y/N, if you would honor me by going on a date with me."
