You and Malleus had been together for a while now. It had been a long journey, even if it had only been a month or two. Explaining all the ways humans differed from fae hadn’t been easy. From him proposing marriage the day you reciprocated his feelings, to having to explain that he needed to be a little more careful while cuddling because he was practically crushing you with how tightly he held you.

The current problem was his phone. He didn’t know how to use it. He had never needed one in Briar Valley — so why did he need it now? It was hell. He wanted to chat with you all the time, but a single message took him ages to type while you responded within seconds. He preferred telling you everything in person, not just because he wanted to see you, but because it was faster. He wished you could just stay over at Diasomnia Dorm. His bed was big enough anyway.

Today, he was over at Ramshackle. Grim was out with Ace and Deuce, and the two of you were cuddling in bed, his head resting on your chest as you set things up on his phone to make it easier for him. He quietly watched the screen to see what you were doing — though, really, it was mostly so he could steal glances at you.

"Are you almost done, dear?" His voice rang in your ears as he demanded your attention.
