Story 38: Magna x Acrophobic!Reader

(This is short. To give you a definition,acrophobia is the phobia of heights)

She had always been so scared of almost everything. So when she chose to become a Magic Knight with Magna,he was shocked. They had grown up together,and the girl was one of the only people he had an undying loyalty too. Hell,he loved her.

"Come on,calm down." He told her as he held her hand. They were barely off the ground,the woman shaking like a leaf. She looked ready to throw up already,making him sigh. He helped her nightly on getting over her irrational fear of heights.

"B-but we're so high up!" She said,starting to cry. He sighed and made the broom land. She dramatically kissed the ground,beyond happy to be back on it.

"I could help you a bit better if you actually told me why you hate heights." He said. After all their years of being friends,she had never told him that.

"Not gonna happen!" She said. He sighed and pulled her back onto the broom,slowly making it fly off the ground.

"Hold onto me,and don't look down." He said softly,trying to keep her calm. The woman did as told but didn't stop shaking,making him groan. He landed again,giving up for the night. He got off the broom and went inside,the door slamming shut behind him. She flinched at the loud noise and frowned,looking down. She sniffled and wiped her eyes.

Magna sighed and sunk down against the wall,his usual persona vanished. He was exhausted by trying to help her all the time.

"Dammit.. She's such a scaredy cat.." He mumbled. He wasn't mad,just annoyed. "I don't know how to help someone as scared as her." He said. Asta overheard and looked over.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"(First Name)'s too scared to even be off the ground. She can't be a proper magic knight with a stupid fear like that." He told Asta,who nodded.

"Ooh,I have an idea!" He said.

"Like what?" Magna asked curiously.

"Tie something over her eyes! If she can't see she's off the ground then she won't get scared!" He said. Magna shook his head.

"We've tried it. She just threw up." He said.  "I've tried everything. I've plugged her ears,covered her eyes,even held her nose." He said,sighing. "Even a few inches off the ground and she shakes." He said. Asta began to think and then ran outside,picking her up and grinning. Magna followed,sighing when Asta was sent flying straight back through the doorway.

"Okay.. I won't do that again.." Asta said,trying to think of what they could do. Magna sighed and shook his head.

"I give up." He said. She turned and bolted off,making him sigh. "She isn't even trying.." He muttered,going inside again. Asta soon came and grabbed him,dragging him outside. It was almost sunrise when they arrived at their destination.

When Magna opened his eyes,he froze up. She was standing on the broom,her knees shaking as it slowly lifted off the ground. She crashed back to the ground immediately,making her flinch. He had never expected something like this from her.

"How long has she been doing this?" He asked Asta quietly.

"A few hours. Since you had to run your mouth." He said. "She cried for an hour straight until Noelle told her to prove you wrong." He added as she climbed back onto that damned broom.

This time,she lifted up a little bit higher before she crashed once again. She was doing it for him,giving her the conviction to keep trying. Magna moved before he thought,ignoring Asta as he walked over to her. He held his hand out to help her out and she stared up at him before slowly taking his hand.

He helped her onto the broom,keeping her hand gripped in his own.

"Stay looking at me. Focus on me. Don't look down." He said. When she nodded,the broom slowly lifted up. As she began to shake,he pulled her closer to him. "I'm here. I won't let you fall." He promised. They got high into the air before the first tear fell on her face.

"I'm scared,Magna.." She said,gripping onto him. He held her closer.

"I know.." He said. He leaned his head down,grabbing her chin and kissing her. She kissed back slowly,still holding onto him. As he pulled away,he gave her a grin. She was no longer shaking or crying. "I think I found a new treatment for your fear." He said,smirking. Her eyes widened and she looked flustered.

"Sh-shut up.." She said.

That night,he flew her all around,showing her a new version of the world she already knew. She looked beautiful when she looked around,amazement clouding her eyes as he flew them over the capitol. He was beyond glad to spend that time with her,and by the time they returned to the base it was sunrise.

As they landed,he helped her down and grinned. Noelle stormed out and grabbed him by the ear,dragging him inside and shouting at him over hurting (First Name)'s feelings the previous night.

"Hey,Magna..?!" (First Name) called as the door began to swing closed.

"What is it?" He asked. She grinned suddenly.

"I love you!" She said,the door closing fully as she said those words. The fiery boy's heart soared and he let Noelle scream at him,not even listening. He was off in his own world,dancing around in his mind happily.

"Are you listening to me!? Hey!" Noelle shouted,punching him. He snapped out of it.

"Huh..? Oh,sure.. I guess.." He said,yawning. He was tired from staying up all night and using so much magic to keep the broom afloat. "I'm gonna go to bed. See you." He said,walking off to his room casually.
