Work Text:
Magolor yawned as he felt sunlight hit just right over his face, awakening from his slumber as he pulls his head off of his hands. He blinked and rubbed his eyes, looking down at the keyboard under him. Giving a tired sigh.
Fell asleep at his workstation again, not the most comfy place once you wake up.
He felt something on him, pawing at his back to feel a blanket, before looking down to see he was surrounded by one. He gave a warm smile under his scarf, knowing who exactly did this, only for it to fade remembering that he was away today.
Taranza was always so sweet to him. He didn’t get it at first, but once it finally clicked oh boy did it feel really nice to understand. The two had been together for a few years now, and he’s been feeling both mentally and physically so much better.
All that travelling made him lonely and pretty empty, he never knew he needed a place to belong, to have friends to get close to. The falling in love part was an extra bonus.
He hovered away from the keyboard, and soon rested on the couch. The Lor was mostly a ship, but ever since it turned into a (luxury? Magolor wasn’t sure if it was like that) home.
It was mostly just a random assortment of furniture, which could easily change around if needed. If someone were to sleep over, the couch could turn into a makeshift bed for example. However there were some definitive areas for the obvious things a house needed.
Though it was just a fancy, ancient ship on the outside and inside.
“Dude, stop rambling in your head.” Magolor spoke out loud, clearly still tired as he let out another yawn. The quality of his sleep was clearly poor, but it was already late morning and it wouldn’t do him any good to hide inside the Lor all day. So he went into his bedroom and swapped his clothes out. They were the same clothes, just not slept in so he felt a bit fresher and gave a good stretch. He scratched his ear to go out for the day.
He gave what to do today a thought, and settled on doing more repairs and cleanup to his theme park. He still hasn’t reopened, and everyone keeps inquiring them. He kept saying how he didn’t have time to manage it but the truth was, he absolutely wanted to and wanted to play all the games with his friends all over again. Those short lived days were some of his best, from meeting Kirby to bonding with Tarazna and then uniting with the whole Dream Team as they stopped the craziness that was Void Termina.
He clapped his hands together. Theme park it was, it wasn’t Thursday yet so he expected most problems to possibly occur to be very unlikely so he made his way there.
=====================================================================================
As the sun began to set, Magolor warped back to the Lor Starcutter, clearly tired as Lor opened the door without him saying anything. Once the door closed, he took his hood off and lowered his scarf to try and cool off. It wasn’t the warmest out, but he did wear a lot more compared to the average resident. He flopped himself on the couch, leaning back and closing his eyes as he sighed from the long day.
Then he felt someone rub his cheeks and kiss his forehead, then quickly opened his eyes to see Taranza in his view.
“How long were you waiting to do that?” Magolor smirked as Taranza gave a chuckle,
“Do you have the time?”
“It’s 5 PM, Tazzi.”
“3 hours.”
Magolor rolls over as he gives him a kiss on the cheek back. Glad to see Taranza back already.
“I thought you were gonna be in Floralia for a lot longer, like you know, for the whole weekend!”
“Yeahhhhhh I decided I didn’t need to spend that long there. I blame you for making me more productive.”
Magolor gave a mock gasp, “My sincere apologizes, it’ll happen again!”
Taranza quickly swifted himself around the couch to sit next to him and keep an arm around his side.
“You were sleeping at the console again, you gotta stop doing that Maggie. You don’t sleep well when you do that.”
“Yeah I know…. I just been stuck on trying to find this whole Jamba Heart stuff, just in case we need to deal with it again. Though, I got distracted in my thoughts with Kirby and how kind he’s been to all of us..”
“Yeah, he’s sees the best in everyone. Not everyone tends to see it that way, especially with all we did.” Taranza says with a sigh, remembering his old memories, but returns to a smile, “I inquire to him, it’s a matter of pulling us out of that darkness we fell into, before we’re fully engulfed into nothingness. He wouldn’t want that for anyone he cares about after all.”
Taranza leaned onto Magolor, squeezing his hand to have him look at him. Magolor could feel his heart skip a beat as Taranza’s gentle looks soothed him almost instantly, and leaned against him.
“So, what were you up to? You didn’t sleep all day unlike last time.”
“Oh that was by choice-! Not important, I, er, I went back to the theme park to try patching some things up, still damages and all from Marx you know? I do wanna get it up and running.”
Taranza smiled at hearing that, almost beaming,
“So you are trying to get it all fixed up so we can go again?”
“Yeah… for all of us! I don’t think Elfilin’s seen it yet, and … well I’ll have to figure that out and-“
Taranza kissed him as he started to ramble, stopping him quickly. Magolor blinked before he was able to start talking again,
“Y-you cu-cute.” Magolor stumbled on his words as if he was malfunctioning.
“Hehe, love you, Maggie! I’m sure all of us are happy you’re still here!” Taranza giggled, holding Magolor close.
Magolor felt his body ease up, warming up gently as he holds him closely. He really liked being in Dreamland, on Popstar, with Taranza and Kirby and the rest of them.
“I love you, Tazzi. I love being here with all of you…” he said happily, resting up on Taranza, “…and I mean it, I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
