(A/n: so, this was originally supposed to be a riddle chapter but he's for some reason...REALLY hard to write for?? So instead we're doing lilia, this'll tie into a fic I wrote for tumblr too so-ye. Gender neutral/AFAB reader. Let's do this 👹)

Your pov

It was one of those nights that everything seemed normal. Those nights were  my favorite; when it was so quiet in the dorm that I could hear my thoughts, so quiet that you can hear Grim's snoring from outside, and quiet enough to hear the rain pitter-patter onto the roof. I smiled a bit, it felt like I was back home. Quietly, I crept out of the dorm, threw on shoes and went out the door, closing it softly behind me.

I stared at the sky for a little bit, the clouds weren't as dark or as thick as back home, so I could still see the stars. They've always been my favorite thing about earth and the sky, and knowing that they're here in twisted wonderland as well? Makes me feel a little more at ease about this world, I feel more at home with the stars shining brightly. A small smile made its way onto my face, and I stepped out into the rain, twirling and slipping in puddles and mud. I felt another's eyes on me, not in an evil way, but love?

"Hello my little bat, why are you out in the rain?"

I turned around and saw Lilia with a soft smile that reached his eyes. I smiled back and told him "no reason".

"Would you like to dance with me Lilia? It's better with company..."

In a flash, he was next to me grabbing my hand and twirling me. My smile grew wider, this has always been one of my dreams; dancing with someone in the rain. Feeling the cool droplets hit our skin as we spin, sending more droplets out. Our hair plastered to our faces as we dance around each other with smiles stretching from ear-to-ear. Holding each other and swaying to invisible music...

"What were you doing outside of Diasomnia anyway? Usually it's Malleus out and about."

"Well, originally I was wanting to just walk around but then I saw you twirling, and changed plans."

I stopped dancing for a minute, focusing my attention on the short fae. He stared curiously, with a hint of mischief.

"Sway with me for a while."

He grabbed my hands surprisingly delicately, as if he was scared I'd break. He pulled me into him, we were the same height which made looking him in the eyes easier. I've always thought his eyes were a gorgeous color, I could get lost in them honestly.

"Would you like to do this every night? Same time?"

"I'd love to Lilia; rainy or clear skies, it doesn't matter as long as I'm with you."

He kissed my nose, so gently I almost didn't feel it. We giggled and swayed to our own rhythm, the clouds started to part and more stars became visible. Soon, I might start associating Lilia with the stars.

End note: hey! This might be longer later but for now, here's the ending :))
Originally, this was supposed to be a riddle chapter, but writing for him is REALLY hard, so I pulled up a scenario from my notes and asked a friend to give me a character she thinks would fit  and she chose Lilia! This was REALLY fun and oh my GOD the hopeless romanticism really popped off here. Fun fact, I really want to do this with someone-anyway, let me know how this was!
