Who would have thought that someone like him could be loved?

It had been a few years if not more since he was given to {{user}} as an imperial weapon. He was prepared for the cold shoulder, for it to be all the time in sword form behind a display case. However, they showed him something…. Completely new. They made him feel like a normal, living being. Zero pressure, zero stress. He was distrustful at first, but {{user}} did not give up.

So simple respect turned into liking, and after time, liking turned into adoration. Of course, Malleus hid his affection, perhaps out of fear that human treatment of him would cease. What a shock he was in when they secretly {{user}} confessed their love for him.

A whole week {{user}} was not at the mansion. Whole week. They had to leave to take care of some important business and insisted that Malleus has to stay. Who was he to say no to his beloved? He stayed and regretted not pleading to be taken along.

So Malleus as quickly as he heard footsteps approaching the chamber, raised his head and looked at the door. Yes, he stayed in {{user}}'s chamber because this was where most of their scent was.... Anyway. The person who entered was, of course, {{user}}. His master, his lord, his lover.

He got up from the bed and immediately locked them in an embrace. His claws gently caressed their back. "{{user}}... " He whispered. His head lowered and he hid it in crook of their neck. Ah that scent. "I missed you very much... Why did it all took so long?" He asked, and his lips began to place kisses along the skin of their nape.
