Magnus POV
Can I tell you something just between you and me?
“Alex? I’ve been meaning to tell you something,”
“Yeah? What is it?” He turned to look at me, the light falling down from the mall’s glass ceiling and reflecting onto his face, making him take on a majestic glimmer not unlike an angel. I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by his beauty. “Magnus?”
When I hear your voice I know I'm finally free
“I really like you,” I manage, “And I know this might sound cheesy but every time I’m with you it- it just feels so right. Like we were meant to be.”
Every single word is perfect as it can be
Yep, that’s it. The perfect description of my feelings.
And I need you here with me
“And I couldn’t imagine what my life would’ve been like without you in it Alex. Our relationship is something I’ve always treasured-”
When you lift me up I know that I'll never fall
And indeed it is, Alex has always been a steady hand that I’ll be forever grateful to have. Always so confident, so self-assured. He makes you feel like you can take on the world.
I can speak to you by saying nothing at all
“How, we can understand each other just by looking into one another’s eyes without having to say anything at all,”
Every single time I find it harder to breathe
“Your’s are breath-taking by the way, every time I stare into them I’m so mesmerized that I forget to breathe.”
'Cause I need you here with me
“So, ummm, I suppose what I’m trying to say is, will you be my boyfriend?”
Alex POV
Everyday
I was shocked.
From the moment I had met the blonde, I already felt a certain spark between us. Over time, that spark developed into something of a crush. Of course, I denied it at first; no, Magnus didn’t make my heart skip one too many beats every time he smiled. He doesn’t make me feel all warm and gooey inside when he laughs. And no, his kind words and meaningful gestures don’t make me want to melt into a puddle.
You're saying the words that I want you to say
So of course I was surprised when I heard him utter those 6 words, those 6 words that I didn’t know I’ve been waiting so long for him to say.
There's a pain in my heart and it won't go away
It’s amazing, isn’t it? How powerful words are. Especially if they come from the right people. As it is, those six words soothed a hurt I didn’t know I had in me. They fixed something I didn’t know was broken. No actually, he did, Magnus did. With all those cheesy lines all those kind gestures, and most of all his sunshiny nature, spending time with him provided me with a comfort that I’ve longed for for so long.
Now I know I'm falling in deep
Ugghhhhhhh stupid cheesy brain… Why are you stuffing all these thoughts on me? I already know I’m head over heels for him, don’t need you reminding me of that thank you. I already know that every time I’m not with him, even if it’d only been a couple of hours I’m already missing him. I already know that every time I see every sappy romance movie ever, I wished that Magnus and I could be like the couple in said movie.
'Cause I need you here with me
“Uhhhh, Alex?” Oh right, when someone says these things you’re expected to reply to them and not zone out. But of course, me being me, instead of replying immediately, I grabbed him and pulled him into a kiss. It was sweet and passionate, full of years of repressed passion and longing. I could taste the lunch we’ve just been having on his lips.
Pulling away and gasping for air, I finally gave him the answer to the question I didn’t know I've always been waiting for:
“Yes, Magnus, I would love to be your boyfriend.”
