Work Text:
When Malleus first started attending school at Night Raven College, he hated it, absolutely loathed his every waking moment within the old castle's walls. He felt so out of place, so alien , like he was nothing more than a mere attraction for these humans, something to loudly whisper about as if he wasn’t even there. He wasn’t treated with respect or reverence like Kingscholar was, wasn’t fawned over like Schoenheit was. Even Hunt, who was already on thin ice with many students for all his antics and strange behavior was welcomed more warmly and openly than Malleus was.
Malleus, despite being considered one of the most powerful wizards amongst both the human and fae worlds, was treated almost like he didn’t even exist.
He wasn’t sure what the reason was, why every classmate he crossed paths with avoided his gaze, became as quiet as a corpse in his presence, tried to act like he wasn’t even there. There were a few exceptions to this cold treatment, like Kingscholar and his open disdain or Diamond and his blatant attempts at social climbing, it didn’t matter, even these few interactions still ended up in the same result, still ended up with Malleus alone, completely isolated from his classmates.
Well, not completely isolated. Malleus still had the companionship of his mate Lilia to keep him from being truly cut off, a balm to help soothe the sting at being so openly rejected by their fellow classmates.
Not that Malleus cared, of course.
None of these other students could ever even begin to compare to his precious mate.
Lilia, his Lilia was the only reason Malleus would ever even submit himself to this school.
“It’ll be fun,” Lilia hummed between kisses, lips brushing against Malleus’s with every whispered word, leaning up on his toes, arms wrapped snug around Malleus’s neck, the pair standing so close their bodies were flushed together. “Think about it, some time away from the castle and all these old farts, a chance to let loose and live a little for once.”
Malleus runs a hand down Lilia’s back, settling around his omega’s temptingly tapered waste, tightening his grip just to hear the pleased hitch to Lilia’s, just to feel Lilia’s fingers flex around where they were holding onto Malleus, just to smell the air around them grow heavy with his mates pleasure.
“What about Silver?” Malleus frowns, pulling his hand back just enough to stare into Lilia’s red eyes. It wasn’t just them this scheme affected but Silver too, the thought of abandoning their child for months at a time to fool around left Malleus stricken, his heart already clenching painfully in his chest.
It still felt like only yesterday that Lilia brought their child home to them, stubbornly tight-lipped about where he found the human orphan when Malleus questioned him, choosing instead to plead with Malleus to raise the infant with him. It had only taken a single heartbeat for Malleus to agree, cradling that frighteningly delicate infant in his arms, those bright eyes blinking up at Malleus, reminding him of the aurora lights.
Nothing else mattered in his life anymore, beyond keeping his mate and now this child, their child , safe.
They were his, and there was not a force in this world that could tear them away from him.
“Zigvolt’s family will take him care of him.” Lilia answered easily, fingers weaving their way through Malleus’s dark locks of hair, leaning up to press a kiss, soft and sweet to the hollow of Malleus’s neck. “We’ll only be away for a few months at a time and Silver can join us next year, wouldn’t it be nice for Silver to get a break from all this too?”
Malleus couldn’t argue with that. Life in The Valley was oppressive to say the least, their way of life still far more traditional and rigid than what he’s heard the human world was becoming, their land still in some ways stuck in the past.
It was with his family weighing heavy on his mind, thinking of giving them even a brief moment of freedom, a chance to be themselves that Malleus found himself agreeing to attend Night Raven College alongside his family.
Lilia and the thought of Silver joining them in the future is what kept Malleus in the school, what kept him still trying to adapt to a land he had no place in, a school that didn’t want him for anything more than a trophy piece.
Opening the door to the room he shared with his mate Malleus couldn’t help but smile, heart warming at the sight that he was met with. Lilia was sprawled across their four poster bed, lying flat on his front, thumbs smashing rapidly against the hand-held electronic device clutched in his small hands, a harsh furrow to his brows, tongue peaking out the corner of his mouth in concentration.
Seeing Lilia so comfortable, so at peace with himself is what made it all worth it. Every single human in this school and how coldly they treated Malleus were so completely and utterly insignificant to him when all that truly mattered to him was waiting here for him.
“Malleus,” Lilia greets, voice tight, eyes still focused completely at whatever was happening on the device in his hands. “See any good gargoyles on your walk?”
Malleus just hums in response as he kicks his shoes off at the entryway of their room, steps slow and measured as he walks towards their shared bed, taking his own seat at the head of it. Lilia automatically bends his knees, the lower half of his legs raised in the air to make space for his alpha, letting out noise from the back of his throat when Malleus cupped a hand around each of his ankles, wrapping them up completely with his hands as he pulled Lilia into his lap.
“Malleus?” Lilia asked, finally taking his eyes off the thing in his hands to look up at Malleus, neck craned and head turned as far back as possible to meet his eyes with a questioning look. “I’m nearly done this round, then I’m all yours, okay?”
It wasn’t okay, Malleus felt an ache deep in his bones for the comforting heat of his mates body, he didn’t want to force himself to wait, even if it was just a few minutes, for the sake of some faceless stranger that would never know Lilia the way Malleus did.
Lilia was his after all.
Malleus trails the pads of his fingers along the temptingly soft, exposed skin of Lilia’s legs, silently admiring the flimsy lounge shorts he had taken to wearing in their room since they started attending NRC, probably a result of those omegas Lilia had taken a liking to spending his time with. Malleus’s hands come to rest against the hem of Lilia’s shorts, the tips of his fingers pressed along the swell of Lilia’s round ass.
Malleus stills for a moment, just long enough for Lilia to give an impatient twist of hips, which is all the permission the alpha needs before he’s making quick work of that slip of fabric, shimmying the elasticated waistband of the shorts and his mates panties down past Lilia’s hips and legs, gaze intent as more and more of Lilia’s flawless pale skin is exposed to Malleus’ hungry eyes.
Lilia’s back is still facing Malleus, face turned down towards the electronic gadget in his hands, but his hands are unmoving, thumbs motionless and still, the tips of Lilia's pointed ears peeking out past the curtain of his chopped hair, flushed an alluring red.
If it was a game Lilia wanted to play, then so be it.
Malleus’ eyes roam shamelessly over Lilia’s pale skin, drinking in the way his mate is practically glowing against the dark satin of their bedsheets, every bitten off gasp and shudder music to the alpha’s ears when he scrapes the sharp edge of his nails along the pillowy soft skin of his omega’s inner thighs.
Malleus could get drunk off the scent Lilia is already letting out, the air he breathes in is sweet with Lilia’s arousal, he can smell how content, how satisfied his mate is just from having Malleus put his hands all over him.
Malleus hands trail up even further, his touch reverent as his hands slides along the swell of Lilia’s hips before he’s palming his omega’s plush ass, spreading him open, revealing his tiny pink hole, already oozing so much slick , quivering in the cold air of their bedroom.
Malleus’ thumb circles his mate's slick, hungry hole, pressing down just enough to hear Lilia let out a frustrated whine, to see the way Lilia’s legs tremble , hips rolling back, eager to get more of his alpha’s touch. Malleus sinks two of his fingers easily into Lilia’s slick, pliant hole, disappearing into his mate's warm core.
“I thought you were in the middle of a round.” Malleus mutters as authoritative as he can manage, his voice low with arousal, as he twists his fingers into his mate, pushing in deep, drawing out moan after moan from Lilia’s flushed body. “I’d hate to interrupt you, I know how much these games mean to you.”
Malleus works a third finger into Lilia, fucking him open on his fingers now, his omega’s hole so soft and slick around his knuckles, clenching down around him when his fingers skim that bundle of nerves hidden deep inside Lilia’s body.
“I-I can’t a- aaah, ” Lilia pants, tipping forwards, face pressed into their bedsheets, back arched perfectly, hips still high in the air thanks to the tight, bruising grip Malleus kept. “Malleus, please. ”
Malleus wants nothing more than to bundle Lilia up in his arms and give him everything he knows his mate is begging for, wants to spoil Lilia the way Lilia should always be spoiled, but his mate did tell him how he wanted to finish the little game he was playing.
Malleus was nothing if not a considerate alpha, always thinking of his mates wants and desires.
Malleus pulls his fingers from Lilia’s dripping hole with a wet pop, chest rumbling a soothing sound at the choked off sob Lilia lets out, hips stuttering, chasing Malleus’ teasing touch. Malleus leans back against the pillows behind him, settling in easily, comfortable in his own space while he palms his own throbbing cock still trapped in the confines of his slacks. It takes only a few short moments for Malleus to unbuckle his belt and work his pants open enough for his cock to spring out, working his own dick with a lazy twist of wrist, fingers still wet and slick from Lilia’s arousal.
Malleus could easily get himself off like this, stroking his own cock to the sight of his mate presented so beautifully before him, with his legs spread so prettily and back arched perfectly, slick drooling his gaping hole, but where was the fun in that?
Malleus pulls Lilia towards him, his mate’s body pliant in the alpha’s hold, letting himself be moved anyway Malleus pleased, letting out the sweetest whimper when the alpha lowered his precious mate onto his aching cock finally.
Malleus swallows down a moan at the tight heat that surrounds him, Lilia trembling where he’s sat in his lap, speared open on his alpha’s thick cock, back pressed flush against Malleus chest, every rumble of Malleus’ chest rattling through Lilia’s body.
Lilia lets out a confused whine when Malleus leans forward, to reach for Lilia’s electronic device, hand gripping Lilia’s hips tight, a warning for him to not move, and then he’s passing Lilia his game back, settling in against their pillows once again.
“Finish your game.” Malleus orders, smirking at the desperate whine that tears its way past Lilia’s bitten lips. “I know you were so eager to finish it earlier.”
It would be fun to see which one of them broke first.
