[ prompt : star ; “ put it at the very top of the tree. ” ft. malleus draconia ]

{ n: not proofread, expect mistakes }

baubles and gingerbread cookies on trays were scattered around the floor. the lights were hung, the fire was lit and the temperature outside grew colder and colder by the minute. you were sat on the carpet, the melodies of your laughter bouncing off your lips felt like the sun on his skin after the coldness of winter and it never failed to send his heart swelling with delight. everything was always so at peace around you. it almost felt like everything outside your bubble just stops altogether creating moments in time where it's just his presence basking in the stars in your eyes when you smile.

it happens so often, too.

in the hallways, on the now snow-covered pavements of the pathways around the college, in his room back in his own dorm. you could be in a sea of people spectating on a spelldrive match or just alone together, interlocking fingers as you gaze at each other with the love that he felt could make roses bloom in the winter cold—everything else just seemed to fade away back, back into the background. truth be told, if it were up to him, he could just sit and stare at your figure glowing in the fireplace beside you all night. but alas, you simply had to snap him out of his trance.

“malleus,” you called, a sheepish smile playing on your features. “you're staring. again.” shyly, you bring a gingerbread to your lips, biting on the christmas delight and malleus couldn't help a soft laugh leave his throat. the hot cocoa on the floor beside him had finally been given some attention once more.

“apologies,” he said before taking a small sip on his mug, “but you already know how that tends to happen sometimes.”

you playfully roll your eyes at this popping the rest of the gingerbread onto your mouth. you sit in your comfortable silence again. you were busying yourself with returning the extra baubles onto their boxes and picking out the smaller mess around you for a while until you noticed smile breaking out of his features, his eyes anchored onto an object somewhere behind you. curious, your gaze follows and meets with the decorative star laying peacefully on the couch. you turn back to malleus with a brow cocked and your query came out in the form of a single word, “what?” and malleus let out a chuckle in response.

“is there something funny about it?” you started to slowly stand up and pad your way across the floor towards the couch.

he let out a toothy grin, “i do not find the star to be humorous. it is you that i found to be. hmm... was it rude of me to laugh at you?”

“no,” you reply, the star now in your hands, “you don't have to worry about those things around me, love,” you reassure him with a gentle smile, “i know you mean well. but pray tell what you found to be so funny.”

“well,” he started, “you were so intent on decorating your dorm for christmas and i've accompanied you for the whole day with putting up the ribbons and lights, however...” malleus trailed off and you stare at him in anticipation.

“yes...?”

“you have not put the star on the tree yet. it's the last thing left for you to do. had you forgotten?”

you softly ran your fingers around the designs of the christmas tree star, a sheepish smile on your features. you didn't meet his gaze but you responded, “no... i just didn't want you to leave yet.” you admit shyly. malleus' expression turned into that of surprise which only reddened the blush on your cheeks even more.

“i will not leave if you do not wish for me to go.”

“i know. but i can't exactly just ask that from you. you're a housewarden and i'm sure the students of diasomnia are out looking for you right now. they need you more than i do,” you remarked, “i had to be clever.” a pout was on your lips and you earned a small laugh from him. the prince stood up, a warm smile dancing upon his lips as he gazed at you lovingly.

“put it at the very top of the tree.” he said, “i will not leave even after all the decorations have been done. not unless you would like me to.”

you smiled softly, placing a hand on his cheek which he leaned into gently, his hand finding its way onto yours interlocking your fingers together. his arm wrapping around your waist as he pulls you in closer. you leaned in, fully expecting a kiss from the dragon, only to let out a yelp as you felt him suddenly lift you up into the air. his laughter was like woodland thunder when he took in your reaction to his sudden actions. you were in a position where he was supporting you with his arms in a way where you were sitting on them as if you were a little child being carried. your arms were on his shoulders for support and your eyes were as wide as the baubles on display.

“mal?!” you exclaim in confusion and surprise. he only gave you a knowing look and your eyes fall back onto the decorative star in your hand. the peak of the christmas tree behind you seemed almost like it was begging to be crowned. you extended one of your arms over to the top of the tree.

baubles and empty trays were scattered around the floor. the lights were hung, one of the brightest glowing beautifully on top of the christmas tree. the fire was lit and the temperature outside grew colder and colder by the minute. you were sat on the carpet, the melodies of your rich laughter like a chime of bells and his like woodland thunder, intertwined together as they echoed throughout the room. he held you against him, your back to his chest. th blanket wrapped around his shoulders and around you along with the heat radiating from the mug you held in your hands was the warmth of the sun on your body amidst the cold that made your breath visible in the air. it sent your heart swelling with delight. everything was at peace. the gentle cackle of the flames in the fireplace made you close your eyes and lean back against your lover. you could feel his smile against the kiss he placed on the crown of your head.

malleus couldn't help but stare at you once again, his face at the side of your head. your eyes closed, features illuminated by the fireplace—he couldn't help it. you looked mesmerizing. and you knew he was staring. he tends to do that a lot. but you didn't mind. a small smile crept up on your lips as you gently whispered.

“merry christmas, malleus.”

“merry christmas, my love.”

'TIS THE DAMN SEASON !

[ ⇝scarf ; “here, have my scarf instead.” ft. kalim al-asim ]

{ n: not proofread, wonky. im having a lil writer's block so apologies if it's short but i hope u like it, anon! ty for requesting!!!! }

the snowfall was heavy and it seemed like a snowstorm was approaching. you didn't like snowstorms. you were sure your boots were going to be buried under a thick layer of white by the end of the class eliciting a heavy sigh from you. if only ramshackle was in one of the mirror dorms, you wouldn't need to worry too much about the cold and getting snowed on. grim hated the wet cold as much as you did and it sucks that you have to walk all the way back with him grumbling about every single irritation you so desperately wanted to voice out but didn't in hopes that your situation wouldn't sound sadder than it already was.

it was just one foot after another, grim tucked cozily between your arms as you walked. you were right about calves deep in the snow and as the flecks of white continue to fall on you, a tiny fraction of them found their way tangled on your hair. grim kept whining.

“hurry up! can't you walk a little faster? i'm freezing here.” he said and you roll your eyes with irritation, resisting the urge to hurl him across the street to that tree with icicles sharp enough to pierce through monster cat fur.

“you think i'm not?” you retort, “plus, i'm the one doing all the walking here. it's not exactly easy to navigate through this thick snow, i'm not the flash.”

a small, cool breeze passes by and you shivered. that's when you realize your neck was cold.

“fuck,” you cursed under your breath a gloved hand instinctively finding its way to your neck, “left my scarf in the classroom.” you turn to look back at the school building standing over at the distance almost looking like a castle. you were already so far from it that it would be a pain to walk all the way back. you groaned. just your luck. could this day get any worse? well, at least the day was ending.

as you stood, looking over at the nrc school building, you heard the crunching of boots against the thick snow coming up from behind you. you turn to be greeted by the loveliest ball of sunshine amidst the gloomy weather. his smile almost seemed to melt the surrounding snow as he approached you. a definite contrast to you and your slightly grouchy mood.

“prefect!” he called out, jogging up to you. he donned a thick layer of winter clothes. he always did say he got cold easily during the winter season. but that was to be expected since they didn't exactly have cold seasons at the scalding sands.

“hey, kalim.” you greet him with a soft smile of your own. he looked like a happy maroon marshmallow in his winter clothes. his scarf reached just above his lips but you can still see his smile through it all.

adjusting himself in his position, grim spoke up, “where are you headed to?” he then proceeded to point at the paper bags on his arms seeming to be filled with cans and other groceries you can only assume will be used for another scarabia feast of sorts. “and what's with all that?”

kalim looked over to where your monster companion's outstretched paw was pointed at and he beamed, “we're going to have a dinner party! i volunteered to go buy some extra ingredients from the store and i'm on my way back.” the housewarden beamed, “you guys should come!”

“say no m—mmph!”

“thank you for the offer, kalim,” you spoke with a gentle voice and a not-so-gentle hand over grim's fuzzy mouth, “but we'd rather not impose. besides i'm making dinner tonight. it might not be as fancy as a scarabian feast, but it'll be enough to get us full.”

at this point, grim had managed to pry your hands off his mouth and he let out an angry noise, “it's a feast! what are you talking about?! there's more food there!”

“shut up, grim or i'll hurl your greedy ass over to those icicles.”

“can i come?”

your bickering temporarily came to a halt as you and grim both simultaneously whipped your heads to look at the boy who, at this point, had a thin layer of snow on his head and shoulders. kalim realized that you didn't seem to understand what he meant so he backtracked, “i mean, can i come to have dinner with you guys? the snowfall is getting kind of thick and it looks like it's about to storm and i'm sure jamil wouldn't want me walking around in one and...”

a pause, his cheeks getting redder and not just from the cold.

“well, i want to have a christmas dinner with the prefect. hehe,” he smiled shyly but then immediately his eyes shot open again, “ah! but only if you want to, of course! i wouldn't want to intrude. i just want to try your cooking! i promise i'll help out! you see with christmas break nearing, everyone's going home and i j—”

“of course, kalim. you're welcome to have dinner with us. what about scarabia's party, though?”

“i'll just call jamil to have it without me! i wanna spend this night with you.”

you silently pray for jamil's sanity.

“if you say so. and you're right,” you look up at the sky, that was darkening by the minute, “a storm seems to be coming. we'd better take shelter so let's head back to my dorm.” you said as you started to walk. kalim's smile was bright, “thank you! i promise i'll help out with the cooking. jamil never lets me help him out.”

“i wonder why.”

“ahaha! he's just worried i might accidentally cut myself or something. he's always such a worrywart,” he looked over at you, “but i promise i'll be really careful with you.” he said with a small wink which made you blush a little. lilia or cater probably taught him that and you let out a small laugh in response, “oh kalim, what are you trying to do.”

“i'm trying to impress you! i won't be seeing you in a while when the holiday break starts.” he explains and you roll your eyes playfully. kalim had been getting bolder and bolder with his moves lately and it was honestly quite cute. it felt nice to always be in the center of his attention whenever you were together.

“oh!” he exclaimed suddenly and you turned. you were caught by surprise when he wrapped a maroon scarf around your neck—the one wrapped around his own just a few seconds ago, “i've been noticing you occasionally trying to warm your neck so here, have my scarf, instead.” he grinned with a happy glint in his crimson eyes, “ah, but now i'm cold! let's head back to your dorm now!” he said and started trekking to the direction of your dorm.

you stood there, a little ways behind him not realizing the giddy smile you had on your face. his scarf smelled like him and it definitely warmed you up, much like his sunshine of a personality. him wanting to make and eat dinner with you sent butterflies fluttering around your stomach. maybe snowstorms weren't so bad after all.

“i can't believe he wants to have dinner with just you and not me OR that you passed up an opportunity for a feast.”

“shut up, grim.”
