Hello :D I'm LilLuv, It's been so long since I've been in TOA, but most books I see for Krel x readers are so short, so I'm making one :3
The age difference of Douxie(19) and Y/N(16) is 3 years, and Y/N can also change her age on will. (Basically she uses her magic so she can turn into any older/younger version of herself, although it only lasts for around 12hrs. And Y/N can calibrate her aging speed according to any lifespan of a species)
Disclaimer:
I do not own the Tales of Arcadia franchise which includes: Trollhunters, 3below, Wizards, Rise of the Titans. This is a work of fiction. I only own those characters not included in the franchise.
Note: Inconsistent updates pls be patient with me 🥹
Douxie and I were stuck cleaning Merlin's study. Even though we are apprentices, Master left us to do this instead of learning magic. I was organizing the bookshelves, till I heard metal armor fall behind me. Douxie accidentally hit the enchanted armor set, dropping the helm as he was sweeping the floor. I looked at my brother, slightly disappointed as he tried to return the head back.
The armor, very pissed at his clumsiness, took it back angrily and sized him up. "Sorry." He hurriedly said before it could escalate any further. I returned to organizing the books by size and topic. Double checking the titles until I heard "Blast it." Behind me.
"Don't. you. dare. douxie." I looked him with a deep scowl on my face, cutting him off before he could dare to try anything. "What? Master won't know what he doesn't see.." He replied smugly.
"You do know that we aren't allowed to use magic when we clean," I continued, giving him an annoyed look. "Last time you did that, you messed up what I was cleaning!" I crossed my arms in irritation.
"Don't worry, little sis, my runes have improved since then. Trust me. " He dismissed my warnings, looking for the enchantment rune on his armcuff. "Don't say I didn't warn you." Finishing on organizing the bookshelves, I went on to fix the table.
After he enchanted the broom, it started sloppily sweeping the floor, spreading the dust in the air. Douxie grabbed his lute, started playing it, and sat on one of the unorganized book stacks I hadn't done yet. Before he could continue his 'amazing' playing skills, the doors to the study opened, showing a very ticked off Merlin.
"Hisirdoux!" The enchanted broom sweeped Douxie off the book stacks, making him groan in pain. Merlin continued in his scolding voice, "What have we talked about?" Merlin questioned. "Magic isn't a permissable shortcut to hard work." Douxie replied after he stood up looking at Merlin sheepishly.
"Carry on and don't -" Merlin starts as he walks past Douxie
"But Master-" Douxie starts as he follows behind Merlin.
"..'But Master' me."
"I'm just-- we know we're capable of more than just cleaning," Douxie insisted, grabbing the enchanted broom, before it started to go haywire. Hitting him over and over again until he got pinned to the table I was attempting to clean.
Looking at Merlin grabbing stuff from the other table, I started, "Master, can't you teach us to be proper sorcerers already?" I whined in irritation, "And Douxie keeps on messing up my cleaning!" I insisted to Merlin, my older brother, giving me an offended look.
"I am not messing up your cleaning Y/N I was playing music" He replied, attempting to do a strum motion while still getting absolutely whacked by the broom. "You play so bad that it feels like I'm going deaf!" I retorted before trying to pull off the broom from his face, leading me to get hit too. Deciding to ignore our antics, Merlin started bringing out the ingredients to use for his concoction.
"If there is a universal truth in this world, it is that struggle is the flame which forges one soul into steel." He commented as he added some herbs to the cauldron, looking into his book for the recipe.
"Magic cannot be a crutch." Merlin approached Douxie and I, still struggling to remove the hostile broom. "To take the easy way out is to merely exist, Hisirdoux , Y/N." He dispelled the enchantment of the broom, looking at us with a fatherly gaze.
"So why are we learning spells if we're not supposed to use them?" Douxie questioned as he finally was able to sit up on the table. "We wanna be wizards like you!" I continued for my brother. "With the staff and everything!"
"Staffs are for those with mastery over magic, and magic is mastery over life. So first, you both must learn how to live." Merlin continued with a more fatherly, scolding tone. "Master that lesson, and I vow both of your days pushing brooms will be over." The wise wizard put his hands on our shoulders as he finished his sentence.

✧˚·˚·★ -------Y/N's Pov:------ ★˚·˚·✧
It was around 6 in the night, I had just finished closing up the library I worked at, double checking the locks before starting to walk back to the rented house. The distance from my workplace and the house was around 4 blocks away, so I had time to get some fresh air, I do really enjoy going on night strolls.
Most shops we're already closed and my brother is doing part-time work in Benoit's French Bistro, so there was no point in waiting for him. If I wanted to wait, I would just wait at home for him instead. Just as I was about to turn to my street , I heard a meow behind me. Turning behind me, I took a look at the familiar.
"Archie, what are you doing here?" I questioned, going down to his level. "Aren't you supposed to be with Douxie?" Tilting my head a bit, putting some of my (h/c) hair aside. "Well, your brother told me to escort you since he can't, and he's working a late shift." He replied, putting on his glasses before he walked beside me.
Smiling at the thought of how my brother was always looking out for me, we quickly arrived at the house. Opening my backpack, I searched for the keys until I found it at the bottom of my bag. "Aha! Found it" I exclaimed in happiness hurriedly opening the door, rushing inside to enjoy the scent of sage filling my senses. "Y/N, you should maybe organize your bag next time, so you can find what you need in your bag." Archie commented, taking a leisurely walk to the sofa.
"I know, I know, but I'm busy and not in the mood to fix it." Dissmissing the comment, I walked to the small dining table dropping off my backpack. I went to the refrigerator, opening it to check what we had to eat. "Arch, I'm planning to make some pasta, do you want some or do you something else" I questioned as I went to grab the leftover pasta sauce I had made a while back.
"Do we have some salmon left? I would like some." Archie questioned as he himself comfortable on the couch. "We do." I answered, grabbing the leftover salmon from the fridge before grabbing a pot in the cabinet and the pasta noodles since the cabinets were beside each other. After I quickly cooked my pasta and reheated the salmon, I placed them on our small dining table and then called Archie.
"Arch, your salmon's on the table." Going on to use my fork, I started digging in my food, pure enjoyment on my face, while Archie went and ate the salmon as well. I went grab my phone and sent Douxie a photo of my food.
Annoying gremlin: 'Bro do you want some food?'
[Photo]
Edgy boi: 'Nah I'll be fine. Got some dinner already'
Annoying gremlin: '......'
Annoying gremlin: 'Can I get some 🥺'
Edgy boi: 'Don't you have your own dinner?'
Annoying gremlin: '........pleaseeeeeeeee'
Edgy boi: 'NO'
Annoying gremlin: 'if not then a macaroon??🥺'
Edgy boi: 'Fine. See u later'
Annoying gremlin: 'See u'
Putting down my phone, I finished my food and placed the dishes on the sink. 'I'll do them later' I thought. Quickly stirring up some hot cocoa in my favorite mug , I jumped to the sofa and grabbed the blanket I usually left here. Archie followed as well as he snuggled up with me, warming up on the blanket.
Checking the time on my clock, I realized it was 7pm already, 'Two hours to go before Douxie arrives' I remembered before turning on the TV to watch my recent favorite show. Although the houses here in Arcadia are usually big, Douxie and I decided it was better to get this house instead. It only had one floor, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and the dining and cooking area in one room.
I didn't know when I fell asleep, but before I knew it, I heard jingling keys at the door. Douxie opened the door as he went ahead to drop his bag on the table. "Welcome home, Douxie." I greeted him, and a yawn followed after that. "How was work?" I questioned before I remembered the macaroons."And did you bring the macaroons??" I looked at him with eager eyes.
Douxie was entertained by your childish behavior, 'even after 9 centuries being alive and still childish.' he thought. "I did here you go," He grabbed the paper bag and I quickly snatched it as he sat down beside me before he continued. "Work was as boring as usual, what about you? How was your day?" He started.
Opening the paper bag and I nabbed a macaroon, taking a bite into sweet, sweet indulgence. 'Blueberry my favorite' I savored the flavor before getting out of my trance, replying to Douxie's question. "Not much either, although I did see the trollhunter with a girl studying math."
"Hmm, a girl with one lock blue striped hair?" Douxie questioned further. I pondered on the question. "I think so." shrugging my shoulders in response. Just before I was about to take the final bite of my macaroon, Douxie looked at me with a serious face. 'Something seemed off', I questioned myself as he started. "Y/N, I think you should go back to high school -" I dropped my macaroon on the floor, and I looked at him with absolute betrayal on my face. "I am NOT going back to school," I retorted cutting him off, quickly standing and accidentally waking the sleeping Archie. Archie, being rudely woken up, screeched as he felt the blanket below him get pulled away.
"I need you to watch over the trollhunter since Merlin tasked us to do so." Douxie reasoned, trying to get me to calm down. I exaggeratingly pointed to the annoyed Archie multiple times, "Isn't Archie the one who's watching over them??? Why do I need to go??" I whined, stomping my feet on the ground.
"You can keep closer watch over him, and you need to make friends." Douxie still being insistent about the 'making friends' part. "I talk to you and Archie, plus I know your college friends too." I said as I crossed my arms, giving him a disapproving glare. "Y/N, that doesn't count. You're going, that is Final." Douxie firmly said, standing up as he continued, "I already got you enrolled today. Be ready to wake up early tomorrow. "
"Fine." I took my hot chocolate and my bag before walking back angrily to my room. "And stop thinking you can be like dad, because you can't." I shouted before slamming my door shut.
─═✩✧═----Douxie's Pov:----═✧✩═─
I looked at my sister's door, worry and sadness etched on my face until a certain cat called out. "Wow, she didn't even say sorry," Archie replied, with suprise laced in his tone. Before looking at me with a questioning gaze. "Ah, you asked her already. Well, you should probably apologize to her before this escalates further."
Archie recommended, before going back on the couch. "I should. Thanks, Archie." I answered before slowly approaching her door. I knocked on the door three times, but I didn't hear any response. "Can I come in?" I asked. Hearing 'fine' from the other side, I opened the door to see Y/N on her bed, clutching her pillow.
✧˚·˚·★ -------Y/N's Pov:------ ★˚·˚·✧
Douxie approached me before sitting down beside the bed. "Look, I'm sorry for lashing out on you." He started, putting his hand beside me. "I know that you really don't want to go, but I need you too. I'm worried that you're all alone and I want you to make friends." Taking my gaze to his eyes, he looked at me with grief.
"Y/N, I- " My brother hesitated, putting his right hand over his head. "Ever since mom and dad died, I was scared. We stayed in the slums for years before Master found us." He continued, taking a deep breath before he started again. "I want to give the best for you, I know that you're hesitant about what happened last time. But this is a new experience, a different place. Please, I want you to try." He pleaded, concern and knowing reflected on his face.
Taking a deep breath, I took a look at my brother before snorting amusement. "You look stupid." Douxie, gave me the most exasperated look I've ever seen in my life. I laughed in response."Hey! You were sad a minute ago, and now you're laughing?" He gave me an amused look before starting to smile.
"You're forgiven, brother." I reply, wiping the tears of joy off my face. I went to look at my alarm clock. 'Huh, already 10pm?' My brother followed my gaze to the clock. Realizing it was already late, he got from the bed and brushed himself off. "Well, it looks like it's late already. You should go to sleep, since you do have school now." He started going towards the door, opening it before looking back at me.
"Goodnight little sis. Don't forget to brush your teeth." "Goodnight. I won't." I replied as he closed the door. Walking to the bathroom I looked at myself in the mirror. 'Wow, I should really get some sleep' I thought, grabbing my toothbrush from the sink. After brushing, I went to change to my pajamas.
Laying down on my bed, I started drifting off to sleep. Adjusting the position of my pillow, and moving to a new position, I finally drifted off to dreamland.
