#malfi

Malfie started his morning as he normally does, dressed and with a confidence fueled smile on his beautiful face. Light steps walked across the stone floors of his master's palace as he hurried his way to the entry way to leave out into the world.

"Malfie"

The crow stopped right away when hearing the elegant strong voice of his master, turning his head to see the beauty of whom she is standing tall by the stairs, her horns a gentle angelic form with the sunrays behind her. He quickly took a bow, "Yes my royalty?"

Maleficent stared down at him, her topaz yellow eyes cold with a fire within deep down the caves. Silence filled around them like a waltz. "You look tired." She finally spoke. Malfie couldn't help but let out a confused croak from the words not matching her tone. "I'm terribly sorry?" It didn't mean to sound more like a question of his own but it just rolled off his tongue.

The fae let out a long sigh, "Just be caution today."

A buzzy warmth filled the small chest as Malfie smiled and nodded. "Of course my royal Queen!" He said before he bid her a goodbye as off he went to town pass the large doors, his arms turning to large black feathered wings. "Diablo," Said Maleficent as she turned to her loyal crow who stands perched on a statue. "Due make sure he's safe." The raven jumped and flew away after Malfie, leaving the fae to watch and ponder a query. . . What caused such tears within her minion's face?

Malfie landed right where he always has and made his way to the courtyard to see his fellow recruiters stand about. Among them his eyes stopped. The morning sun making white and light lavender hair look most glowing like sea form from the sea, the skin flush and more alive than first glace, focus yet tired eyes looking at a golden colored paper.

He felt his heart begin to play a little tune in his rib cage as a smile formed the moment he saw his best friend. Joe turned his head and catches the bird's look and gave a meek wave. Within a flash he was sea form before Malfie blinked a bunch to regain his original sight with a quickened sinking heart and fast breathing. His skin felt pale cold as he stopped smiling. He turned his head away from Joe's worried eyes and started walking away.

Above sitting on a roof is Diablo, watching the scene closely, opening his wings and flying after the younger to make sure he doesn't lose sight on him, seeing as Joe went after him as well.

Hidden with the shadows away from the others Malfie stands trying to settle the tears that threatened to burst out his eyes. "Malfie." The crow froze in stiffened shock as Joe's voice speaks behind him. He dare not move a single inch in fear of being spotted even though he already has.

The octopus walked over and firmly grabbed his wrist, twisting him around in a heel until they're face to face. Joe stared down at him, Malfie's eyes away from his own. He can't bring himself to look at those eyes of his one true best friend, his companion, his equal, and only see the dream he had over and over like a broken record. "Did I do something?" His words hurt Maflie. "Wh...What...?" "I said did I do something? Why are you avoiding me?" Usually Joe would do this tone in his voice to hide any other side of him behind a tough exterior like a crab with it's shell as Malfie was brave enough to see, but this time his voice was soft low and gentle like a comforting fire place within castle walls.

A sniffle escapes Malfie's nose as he finally looked up at him. "L...Looking at you make me sick..."

Joe's eyes narrow in sadness as Malfie cried and continued, "Y-You will leave me alone...like my flock...like my master soon enough...Like sea foam on the ocean waves you'll drift away from me...and I can't stand it..!" Malfie kept crying and crying, his voice now broken and unable to make normal words.

Suddenly, a warmth hit his cheek and then his mouth as their faces became close and near. His heart rate slowly went back to a happy rhythm while his body soon leaned in in relaxation as he pushed his lips back towards the cold yet warm ones against his. In perfect peace the memory of that dream disappeared... along with it the worries of his pains...
