I Need You; Alois Trancy x Reader

Chapter Forty Four

Commence day six of Alois' best birthday present in the history of birthdays!

"Darling are you finished yet?" Alois mumbled, following after a very happy (h/c) haired maiden. Though her face was neutral right now Alois could tell just by the way she walked that she was beyond pleased.

"You're the one who said I can pick out any book that caught my interest," Y/n mumbled back, grabbing a book that had an interesting title. She flipped it and read over the back.

Alois pouted and slipped his arm around Y/n's waist, resting his chin on her shoulder. Even though Y/n hadn't won the race yesterday Alois decided that he would still take her to a popular book shop. What he hadn't thought about was how long they would be there and how many books would catch her interest.

Yuma and Claude trailed behind the pair, each carrying a small stack of books. Alois didn't really care how much he would spend on those books. In fact, he was delighted that she was letting him pay for them. This was just another chance to spoil the woman he fell in love with.

What he did care about was the fact they have been here for over half an hour and Y/n was barely paying any attention to him, lost in the surrounding literature. Try as he might Alois just couldn't pull her out of her wonderland.

"But don't you want to get home and read your books as soon as possible?" Alois questioned, hoping that will convince Y/n to finish up her shopping.

The maiden paused, staring down at the book in her hand in thought. Sitting by a nice fire while reading actually did sound very pleasant to her. Y/n turned her head to the side, the tip of her nose just brushing against Alois'.

"Alright. Let's go purchase my books."

Alois grinned and stepped away from the younger maiden so that he could grab her free hand. He dragged her to the check out, happy to leave the mind nunbing store.

He couldn't understand why Y/n loved reading so much. He found it dreadfully boring. They were just words slapped onto a piece of paper. He would only do this for her though, if she was happy he was happy. Even if that meant taking her to the most bland store in the world.

Alois paid for the books, leaving the butler's with the bags. It was a peaceful ride back to the estate, Y/n content with the quiet. The only reason Alois wasn't talking up a storm was because Y/n's hand was still in his.

It may be childish but Alois was thrilled that she had not let go of his hand. In fact, she seemed happy with the contact too.

The happy couple exited the carriage. Y/n took off her coat and handed it to one of the triplets, smiling kindly at him. She felt bad she hadn't learned how to tell the difference between them yet. Alois pouted at the broken contact but used this chance to take off his over coat as well.

Y/n walked to the lounge, sitting on the sofa closest to the fireplace. Alois followed behind her, not wanting to be apart from her. Y/n supressed a smirk. He reminded her of a duckling when he acted like this.

Yuma and Claude placed the bags down on the table in front of her. Yuma smiled at his mistress and stalked off to make her tea. Claude bowed before leaving the lounge as well.

"Will you read to me?" Alois asked, laying down with his head comfortably resting on her lap. Y/n glanced down at him in questioning.

"I thought you don't like reading?" Y/n leant over him and picked a book out of the bag.

"I don't," Alois smirked up at her. "But I'm not the one who will be reading now am I?"

Y/n hummed and opened up her book to the fifth page, skipping straight into chapter one.

"If that is what you would like.." Y/n smiled softly down at him then began to read her book. Alois smiled and snuggled his head into her lap, not really paying attention to the words that escaped her mouth as much as the enchanting sound of her voice.

It was so calming.

So peaceful.

It seemed as if her voice alone would cast a small spell over him, even if she was only talking. It was so soothing and melodic. Y/n glanced down at Alois when she finished the second chapter, wondering if he stayed awake during his reading. Her question was answered when her (e/c) eyes met his icy blue ones.

"Why did you stop?" Alois mumbled. Y/n stared at him. He looked drowsy.

"Alois..." Y/n whispered his name, thinking about how she should word her next question. "Is my voice.... weird?"

"What?" Alois arched a brow, wondering where that random question came from. "Darling why would you think your voice is weird?"

Y/n stayed silent. To be honest, when she looked down at Alois she was reminded of something Yuma and Blaze had told her. Her voice had power.

Yuma and Blaze said the power her voice held didn't affect them. But they never said it wouldn't affect Alois. She knew she wasn't supposed to hint anything to Alois but the curiosity was killing her.

"Did my voice make you sleepy?" Y/n asked another question, ignoring his. Alois frowned but answered anyways.

"In a way it did. Your voice is very soothing and relaxing and it made me sleepy. Now why would you think your voice is weird?"

Y/n stayed quiet, and Alois' frown deepened.

"You know how I feel about being ignored."

"I'm not ignoring you."

"No, but you're ignoring my question."

Y/n sighed, realising she shouldn't have said anything. Now he wouldn't let this go.

"I just remembered something that someone once told me."

"Someone told you that your voice is weird?" Alois fumed, mad for a completely different reason now. How dare someone insult you?! They obviously had a death wish. You had the most amazing voice ever and those who did not think that were complete and utter morons.

Y/n ran her fingers through his hair, trying to soothe him.

"Will you please drop the subject Alois?"

Alois went silent at her request, his mind hazing over a bit as her beautiful voice combined with her playing with his hair calmed him instantly.

Y/n stared wide eyed at the once again sleepy blond. After a few silent moments passed by before she smiled and internally congratulated herself on her successful experiment.
