Was it seriously that much of a secret that Malleus was so completely and utterly whipped for you? No, absolutely not. He was the least subtle about how you made him feel, even if he himself didn't notice he wasn't very good at hiding it.

And, due to you being you, always ended up getting teased simply because of that fact.

Everyone could see it. How he looked at you, how he prioritized you and your well-being, and how he interacted with you in general.

You really did make the crown prince a lovesick puppy for you, and you couldn't find any bone in your body to make you feel bad for doing so.

He also protected you as soon as you were in presumed danger, never hesitating to check up on you.

Honestly, perhaps that's why you didn't mind him following you around like a lost puppy? He only ever had good intentions, and despite his name and status, had no malice in his body, especially when it came to you.

But.. using this to your advantage, you decided to do something.. cheeky, some might say.

Currently you and Malleus were hanging out in the Diasomnia dorm lounge — With the three others doing their own things while you two did — that was until it was time for you to go.

You had gotten up after announcing that to Malleus, you did feel a little sad when you saw his dejected face at that reminder.

Before you walked out though, you turned to Malleus and blowed him a kiss as a goodbye before waving and saying; "Bye Malleus~" as if trying to kill him with your teasing many would find annoying.

And with that, you left with a smile on your face.

Although uncharacteristic, Malleus looked surprised, a light pink flush creeping up on his pale skin. It was almost like he was about to faint, which was most certainly abnormal for him.

He could swear he felt his heart leap..

He didn't have enough time to process and muster up words before Lilia spoke up with a chuckle,

"They are a wicked one, aren't they?~" the fae teased the other, tone light-hearted, accompanied with the chuckles.

Meanwhile, Sebek looked almost offended, having an irritated expression painted on his face. He was definitely about to scream about 'how dare a human do such a thing to wakasama' or something...

Silver was just looking upon the scene calmly, but, he was definitely amused.

What a fearless person you must be.. bestowing a blown kiss on the future king of Briar Valley, the same prince that was feared by many.
