The rain glowed neon in the city light, pouring from the grey clouds that overtook the sky. The sound of it meeting the ground drowned out all other noise, creating isolation out of soothing chaos. Magnus couldn’t help but think of how fitting it was. That today of all days would see nature announce its sorrow.
It had been months now since that fateful party. Since Magnus had regained his magic and his heart. Since he met the boy in blue. He could still remember Alec asking him to stay, how the confidence had made Magnus hesitate until he noticed the careful urgency radiating off Alec. Therefore, body still brimming with new-found life, he had agreed, and felt his heart skip at the smile that lit up Alec’s face.
After that it had been meetings between clients, late night texts, laughter shared across food, fingers intertwined, and lips pressed to cheeks. Being with Alec was exhilarating, the energy between them palpable. Every date felt like they were caught in their own personal gravity, pulled closer and closer together with each smile.
There was a steady flow to their conversations, and a comfort to their silences.
It had been at an Ethiopian restaurant, recommended by Luke, that Alec told him about his parents. He had seemed off when he came in, hands fidgeting, face unraveling in a way Magnus hadn’t seen before. It was then that Magnus felt it for the first time, telling Alec that his parents had died when he was young, a terrible accident that left him orphaned, It had felt like a hole in his chest, his fingers twitching. He wanted to tell him then, wanted Alec to know everything about him.
But he didn’t. The words had been stuck in his throat, held back by his own fear. But despite his initial hesitance, he knew that he couldn’t compromise himself like that. His magic was part of him, part of who he was. It kept him alive all these years, kept him company when the loneliness crept up his veins, filled him with pride when nothing else did.
A few days ago, they had been out dancing. Bathed in light, their bodies pressed together. Alec’s eyelids had dipped, his hand had moved to Magnus’ chest. Noses dragging against each other, their lips had been so close. Magnus’ hand on Alec’s ass, pulling him closer and closer.
“Take me home,” Alec had breathed, and Magnus’ fingers sparked. As if struck by lighting, he had stumbled backwards, left Alec standing there in the middle of the dance floor, hands still reaching out. Magnus had heard his name ringing behind him, but before Alec could reach him, he had disappeared into a portal.
Now, standing on his balcony, watching the rain fall gently to the ground, Magnus was waiting. At first glance, the text had seemed foreboding, but Magnus knew that the can we talk? was only laced in concern. His heart beat hard in his chest as he watched Alec step out of his car. A little wave of his hand accompanied the hurried steps towards the door. A few more minutes, lost in his thoughts, and the wave was returned, door opening before Alec could knock.
Wrapping his heart in steel, Magnus turned. Now or never.
Alec was still standing in the doorway, eyes stuck on Magnus’ form. There was a small box in his hands, and when he noticed Magnus staring a small smile built on his face.
“Hey,” he said, moving closer. Redness crept up his cheeks as held the box up for Magnus to take. “I don’t know what happened. But I thought, um, when we were out, you talked about being from Indonesia and missing the food, and there’s a restaurant right next to the Institute, but I didn’t know what you liked, so I just...well.”
Opening the box, Magnus couldn’t breathe. Alec must have mistaken his silence for dislike because the words began pouring out of his mouth, “It’s weird, isn’t it? I googled it afterwards and apparently it was developed during colonial times in the Dutch East Indies which probably isn’t fitting at all. I was thinking about flowers but-”
“Alexander,” Magnus interrupted, dragging his eyes from the cake to Alec’s face, a pink hue on his cheeks, “It’s perfect. Thank you.”
Alec beamed, and Magnus’ decision was made.
Taking Alec’s hand, he pulled him to the couch, carefully putting the box onto the table. Alec looked restless, leg bouncing up and down, but there was a stubborn edge to his voice as he clutched Magnus’ hand tighter the moment he tried to pull away. “What’s wrong, Magnus?”
“There’s something I need to tell you. About me.” Taking a deep breath, Magnus hesitated. There was so much he wanted to say, but he didn’t know where to begin.
At this, Alec’s other hand found his face, a warm comfort against his cheek. Leaning into it, Magnus closed his eyes. “I want to know everything about you, Magnus. I don’t care what it is,” Magnus felt Alec’s thumb swipe under his eyes, “C’mon, open your eyes. I trust you.”
And Magnus did, eyes burning gold.
Alec’s breath caught in his throat, but he didn’t move away. He was frozen, gaze fixed on Magnus’ face. “What, Magnus, what are you-”
Taking Alec’s hand off his face, Magnus pressed a kiss to his palm and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the whole loft was draped in colour, blue and purple dancing through the air, sparking at his fingertips. Transfixed, Alec reached up, the magic curling around his wrist. Wide eyes met gold.
“There’s much I need to tell you. But maybe I should start at the beginning. I’m a warlock, Alexander.”
Searching his face, Alec found only honesty. For a moment, the silence draped over the two men, but soon a smile spread over Alec’s face, and gentle laughter spilled past his lips. “When Izzy asked about you, I told her you were magical.”
All anxiety fell from his chest, the same way his heart fell into Alec’s hands. But he still couldn’t keep calm, there was one more thing Alec had to know. “That’s not.. everything,” he began, “you told me once, you wanted a normal life, grow old with the person you love. But.. I can’t give you that. I’m immortal, Alec.”
Alec’s eyes narrowed, grabbing Magnus’ hands once again. “That’s backwards.”
“What? What do you mean?”
“You’re the one who’s going to suffer, not me. It’s your choice whether you want to stay with me, and watch me grow old.”
The magic stilled. A familiar feeling settled in his chest, growing and growing until he felt like bursting, and it only spread when Alec’s hands settled on his face. “I always knew you were incredible, Magnus. And this, your magic, has been there the whole time, even when I didn’t know. You deserve someone who accepts all of you, who loves all of you. Thank you for giving me this chance.”
Like clockwork, their lips found each other. Pressing Alec into the couch, Magnus settled between his legs, and let his magic run free. Breathless gasps filled the room as it sunk into Alec’s skin, surrounded both of them. Free and courageous as their bodies melted into one.

thank you so much, I do write & I need to do my next chapter before I get killed, so nothing new for me, but I can recommend @abloodneed alt-universe malec The Lesson in Magic - where magnus is not quite at the showing eyes stage yet, but he’s getting there. There’s an update coming in the next few days!

Thank you :) Did you want to start watching from season one? If so - you can check my ‘skam links’ tag or THIS POST specifically. If you’ve seen the other three seasons and just want to follow season four, your best option is to follow @skamenglish as they will be posting subtitled versions of the clips after they’ve been uploaded to the skam site. If you go on my navigation page I have a whole section that I try to keep up-to-date for how to watch and how to see translated texts/instagram posts from previous seasons. Hope that helps!
