Chapter Text
There were not many days in Magnus’ life where he was unhappy with his power. This was one of the few days that he was unhappy. Magnus coughed, clearly put out with what the narrator was saying. I will correct myself, Magus was unhappy with the fact that his powers could only do so much.
“Maybe you shouldn’t tell this story," Mangus said glaring over at the narrator. "We've just started and you're already doing a terrible job.”
Maybe you should focus on who’s at your door. There was a knock.
Magnus narrowed his cat eyes at the narrator as if to intimidate him. It didn't work. Magnus turned and made his way to the apartment door. He wasn’t going to let the narrator get away with being an asshole, but seeing as he was the only one who could hear the narrator he would have to let it slide. Or else be seen as crazy.
Magnus scoffed, “For now.”
Magnus masked his eyes as he stopped in front of the door. Who was even bothering him today? Magnus plastered a wide arrogant smile on his face as he opened the door. However, the smile turned soft and gooey at the sight of the tall figure. “Alexander.” Magnus' voice was softer at the utterance of the name. As if he cared about Alexander, as if he... was a heartfelt mundane.
Magnus fought the frown on his face at the narrator's words. He was probably thinking about how some people should merely stay dead.
“Magnus!”
Magnus gestured Alexander into the room with a wide sweeping motion. Even though he preferred to go by Alec; Mangus insisted on calling him, Alexander. Like it made him special or something. As Alec entered the apartment, Magnus’ dark eyes took in his body. He was tall and his clothes always showed off his beautiful body. Today that was enhanced by the way the wet clothes clung to ever pec and muscle. It was very distracting. Especially that ass.
Eyes up, Magnus.
Magnus' eyes flickered up as Alec turned. It was great timing. A second later and he'd be caught staring at what the narrator can admit was a nice ass. He must exercise a lot to get nice buns. He probably looked good covered in sweat.
Magnus cleared his throat like the noise would block out the narrator. It didn't. “What brings you to my lovely abode today, Alexander?”
Alec tilted his head a small easy smile going on his face. “Did you forget? We have a date today.”
“Ah, yes.” Closing the door, so he wasn’t standing there like an idiot, Magnus shot a glare to the narrator who was trying not to laugh. “I didn’t forget, I was merely distracted. Work, you know?”
Alec’s blue eyes dimmed a bit and the smile started to fall from his face. Magnus wanted to take back his words so that he could have never have made such a beautiful man sad. It was criminal. “Oh, are you busy? I figured we could hang out even though it’s raining.”
“Oh no, I’m not busy. The joy of working for myself is that work can wait.” Taking a step towards Alec, Magnus smiled at him. “What did you have in mind?”
“Well, I was hoping to turn back time, so that we could go where I had planned to go.”
Magnus hummed, “You’ve come to the right person then.”
A smile pulled at Alexander’s lips as he looked back to Magnus. “Oh, is that so?”
Continuing forward Magnus nodded cockily trying to find the best way to break it to his probably human- sort of boyfriend- that he was a warlock. He folded his hands behind his back as he moved and felt the magic curl around his fingers. It'd be a conversation for later. Magic danced in his fingers as he forced the rain back into the clouds and pushed the clouds from the sky.
“Is it supposed to rain all day?” He kept his voice light as if he was just making small talk.
“Yeah. It's coming down pretty hard.”
Magnus nodded before turning on his heel and sauntering over to the window. Moving the curtain Magnus peered outside. “It looks like someone has other plans.”
Alec took a couple of steps over to the window and Magnus tried not to think about long legs and strong arms pushing him against a wall. It didn’t work that well especially seeing as the narrator was talking about his thoughts like the narrator was in his head or something. Magnus cleared his throat again, making the narrator smile at how easy he was. He might have to use his magic soon to get rid of his boner.
Ignoring the narrator Magnus focused on Alec.
“Wow, that’s some kind of magic.” Alec pulled his wide blue eyes from the window, not literally mind you, and looked at Magnus with happiness making them shine. Humans were so easy to impress. Magnus smiled back at Alec, leaning in a bit. Not to kiss him. But just getting pulled in.
If he wasn’t so busy Magnus would argue that Alec had a magical smile.
“So, are you still free today?”
“Of course, I am Alexander.” Leaning over Magnus linked his arm with Alexander's. “So? On to the date than?”
“You’re going to love it.” Pulling at Magnus, Alexander moved to the door. Leaving the narrator all on his own as Magnus once again questioned his sanity.
Hurrying down the stairs Magnus tried not to laugh or giggle at how young Alexander made him feel. It had been too long since someone had planned a date for him. It had been even longer since he had felt like he was sneaking out to be naughty. Magnus had been around for so long that it felt like he had never been young. Still, Alexander made him feel... magical. Which redundant for a warlock, but the narrator would let it slip for now.
Stepping outside Alec paused as he looked down. “I’m wet.”
Looking him up and down Magnus concurred. He liked how the already tight shirt was made tighter by being wet. “Yes, you are.”
Turning blue eyes to Magnus, Alec pouted. “I can’t go to the place wet.”
Magnus nodded and wiggled his fingers at his side letting the clouds drift back and letting the thunder rumble before the clouds open and it poured on them. “Ah, damn!” Magnus yelled as it rained on them.
“Let’s go inside, Magnus!” Alexander yelled trying to pull Magnus back into the building.
Tugging at Alec’s hand Magnus pulled them into the rain. “No. Come dance with me in the rain.”
“But the date?”
“There will be others.”
“Oh?” Alexander asked raising an eyebrow at Magnus. He placed his hands on Magnus's waist. “How are you so sure of that?”
“Because I like you, and you like me,” Magnus answered like it just made sense. Pulling Alexander close to him, he smiled as they swayed together. Apart of him wanted to do a proper waltz but he hadn't done that in decades. And this was good enough for him.
“Yeah? What if I had seven evil exes that you needed to fight or something?”
“I’d win obviously.”
Alexander laughed and pressed his forehead to Magnus’. “Obviously.”
Magnus pressed up trying to get closer to Alec. Trying to kiss him. Which is when Alec's phone took the moment to ring.
“Sorry, that’s Izzy.” Magnus felt his lips tug down as Alec pulled away. He reached for him frowning even louder. He was going to kill the narrator. “I have to answer.”
“Okay. Come inside at least then.” Linking their hands together Magnus took them inside feeling like the whole date could have gone better. He didn't even get a kiss.
