Malleus was loyal, there was absolutely no doubt about that. He loved you more than he loved himself and wasn’t shy to admit that. His only flaw.. he was quite oblivious.

There was a girl he considered a friend, Riley. Only she was a huge pick me. Anyone could tell that your engagement and marriage to Malleus enraged her cause she liked him. And she wasn’t subtle about it. Malleus was quite oblivious when it came to human behavior. So the poor fae thought the way she acted was normal.

It was after the vows and the traditional ceremony when things started becoming clear. Malleus held you to his side, overjoyed that he could now call you his spouse when she walked up.

“Oh~ You two are so cute!” She cooed. “But remember, you’ll never know Malleus how I know him, yeah?” An obvious jab at you. Malleus stood oblivious at your side.
