The sea, oddly enough, reminds you of Malleus.
When first arriving at the resort, the familiar lonely hum of the rushing of waves takes you aback. It almost fooled you into thinking that he was right here beside you, gently whispering into your ear. Though you knew it couldn't be true because the third years weren't meant to come until later tomorrow, your face visibly flushes at the thought of it, leading to your friends asking you if you were feeling alright. You came up with an excuse (telling them that the sun was getting to you a little) and ended up being brought back to your room to rest, missing almost all of today's beach training activities.
You didn't really mind missing a few of the day's training events. Malleus wasn't going to be there anyways and, though you wanted to spend time with the rest of your friends, the sadness you felt with his absence ached your heart too much to be able to even breathe comfortably. So when Kalim came by and invited you down for dinner, you politely declined and plopped yourself back onto the bed. You raised a hand into the air and continuously curved them into your hand and back out again to examine how your fingers folded. The sound of the sea, though faint against the walls of your room, lulls you with its gushing until you fall into a deep sleep.
Plunged within your consciousness, lights dance, flicker and jingle along with the water's whimsical song. A sweet gentle caress of pitch, like the deep rumble of Malleus' laughter. You found comfort in the rhythmic drumming and nestled yourself into the warmth it brought to your chest. If only he were actually here, then all could finally be well. If only… You could listen to his voice again. You could almost imagine him saying your name, in the way that he does with the gentle curve of his lips and the softness of his gaze. If you focused on it hard enough, you could even hear it.
"Y/N?"
He whispered delicately as if afraid to wake you. You could see him bring the back of his finger to your cheek then slowly gliding it across the arc of your chin. After that he brought his face to yours and murmured "Sweet dreams," before pressing his lips against your forehead.
The kiss, you thought, felt too tender— too real to be a dream. So you decided to humor your imagination by reaching out a hand to his retreating form and touching his arm. "Malleus?" you groggily mumbled out.
He turns back to you, evidently surprised to see you awake. You smile inwardly at how well your mind painted his expression. You would’ve reached out and traced every little detail but found yourself affected by your usual morning languor. A bit too much real, this dream. “Y/N…” he takes a seat at the edge of your bed then takes your hand into his. While slowly stroking your open palm with his thumb, he says, “It’s early, you need to get more sleep.”
You chuckle softly at his concern. “Mhmn, you shouldn’t have came over to visit me then,”
He averts his gaze, his pointed ears flushed red from embarrassment. “I was worried,” he says, “Silver informed us that you weren’t feeling well so I rushed over to check to see if you were alright.”
Your eyes widened at his words. Carefully, you pulled your hand away from his then slapped your fingers onto Malleus’ cheeks. “You mean you’re actually here?!” you exclaimed into his face. Dumbfounded, he nods as you poke and prod his body to confirm his corporeality.
“I can’t believe it.” you whispered under your breath, pulling yourself away to stare at him fully. The relief that washes over you makes you choke out a sob. You wanted to throw your arms around him and cry into his chest but a thought passes through your mind that leaves you burning with anger and mortification.
Like rolling billows in a thunderstorm, you raged.
“Wait, what the hell are you doing in my room?!”
