I Need You; Alois Trancy x Reader

Y/n stared at the casket that held her dead father, numb. Blaze stood at her side with his arm wrapped around her, rubbing her arm in a soothing manner.

Alois stood on her other side, looking like he was barely holding back from shoving Blaze away from her and going on a rampage.

He should be the one comforting Y/n in his mind, but Y/n probably wanted comfort from her family so Alois did nothing.

The pastor droned on, Y/n not really registering the words he was saying. She looked around, noticing that most of her cousins and aunts on her father's side of the family were in tears. Her mother's side though..

Only Blaze, his mother, and his four sisters were there. And her aunts face was completely blank. Her cousins on the other hand were all looking towards the crying relatives with a sympathetic looks.

Yeah, they were all a bit strange. She wasn't one to judge though, she loved her aunt and her cousins.

After the ceremony Y/n quietly slipped away from her mourning family, Alois following her. She was very awkward and didn't know how to deal with these types of situations, even if everyone here was family.

Blaze gave her a reassuring smile as she left with her fiance, walking over to one of their cousins, comforting the crying female.

"Are you alright?" Alois asked softly, pressing his hand to the middle of her back as they walked away.

Y/n glanced up at him with dull eyes. She didn't really know the answer to his question.

Alois kissed the top of her head, opting to change the subject.

"You have quite the large family my love. Do you all get along well?"

Y/n grimaced, thinking about the few interactions she's had with her relatives.

"I only really saw my father's side at balls he hosted, and even then I never really interacted with them. My cousins are a bit..." Y/n paused, searching for the right words. "Lets just say annoying. They detested me because the men they fancied sought after me. My aunt's were jealous of how young and beautiful I am, so when ever we chat they gave me back handed compliments left and right.

"My uncles and male cousins didn't really mind me, all they ever did was compliment my performance and some would politely ask me to dance if they noticed that I was feeling overwhelmed by all the offers I was receiving."

"What about your mother's side? I already know you love Blaze." Alois made a face as he said that, helping
Y/n into the carriage as Yuma held the door open.

Y/n giggled softly at the face he made, not minding that Alois wasn't partically fond of her charming cousin.

"I get along with them all quite well,  even if they are a bit strange."

Now that Y/n thought about it, Blaze had hinted that he either possesses or is aware of her powers. Maybe it was like that for the whole Reynolds family?

Maybe this magic was a family trait? Maybe her older cousins have already been through what she is currently going through? Maybe Y/n's family had made it tradition that you are not to be aware of the family secret until you turn seventeen?

"What do you mean by strange?" Alois asked, grabbing Y/n's hand as they sat next to each other.

"My aunt is a bit aloof, disconnected from society. She doesn't follow the social norms and perfers staying away from balls and galas. Blaze and Nyx, his older sister, are the most social and eccentric, but they also tend to shy away from large gatherings even if they are the ones who are more up to speed with trends and social norms.

"Piper is often in her own little world, she's actually more shy than I was all though she's older then me. Last we have the twins, Azriel and Lilith. Those two refuse to talk to anyone and they have an amazing skill at sensing danger before it had passed. Compared to them my uncle it fairly normal."

Alois chuckled softly and squeezed Y/n's hand.

"Darling the only strange ones you mentioned were your twin cousins and maybe your aunt."

"Oh.." Y/n let out a soft breath, staring at the black skirt of her dress. Why is it so hard to put it into words? They really were strange, it was just difficult to explain.

Much like how she was strange in a difficult way to explain...

Her powers arose and nipped lovingly at her skin with the thought. Alois shivered next to her, and looked around confused.

"Did you feel that?"

"Feel what?" Y/n asked, anxiety rising at his question. This was the first time he has felt her powers.

Alois shrugged and laughed it off, not noticing his lovers rising anxiety.

"It felt like tiny kisses running along my arms! Maybe it was a strange drift through the carriage?"

Y/n nodded slowly, clutching the skirts of her dress tightly. At least it didn't feel painful.

"Yes, it must have been an odd drift of wind.."

Alois frowned when he saw Y/n clutch her dress and quickly thought of something to drag her mind away from whatever was bothering her.

"Oh! I know!" Alois gasped and Y/n flinched at his sudden, and loud, exclamation, "how about when we get home we can take another bath together?! That will be perfect opportunity for you to relax and unwound!"

Y/n giggled softly, her anxiety settling.

She'll find out what she is soon enough, and her powers love her and Alois. She can worry more when it's her birthday.

For now she can enjoy spending her time with her adorable, charming, and somewhat childish, fiance.

Ummm not sure if this is a good chapter but I need a little filler so here you go! Currently trying to figure out how I want your guys birthday to go so please forgive me if I'm a bit slow with updating. Comment, vote, and I'll see you in the next update.
