My piece for @thelonelyexchange for @leatafandom ! I had some IRL complications leading up to this event so it’s shorter than I wanted it to be (but still more than the minimum). I really hope you enjoy this and that you had a nice V-day IRL too!

Characters/Fandom/Ship: The Magnus Archives - Jonah Magnus | Elias Bouchard/Peter Lukas

Rating: Teen

Word Count: 6098

Warnings and Tags: alternate Au no fears, professors au, colleagues, getting together, professor Elias, professor Peter, mentioned Simon Fairchild, fluff, banter, flirting, arguing, getting together, Valentine's Day dates, discovering feelings, miscommunication, cuddling, bed sharing, Peter can cook, holiday, weekend getaway, finally alone together, friends to lovers

Summary: After a mutual friend and colleague began to invite Elias on their activities Peter had slowly become more and more captivated by the dedicated and bossy man. Ever since the three's first after work get together Peter and Elias circled around each other, bickering as if they were already married but never once breaching the subject of their feelings. Until of course Simon got a bit tired of feeling like a third wheel on a car that didn't know it was already a car.

Written for @thelonelyexchange for: @p1nkwitch

Author Note: I adore your Lonelyeyes and it was a treat to make something for you! This was not my original idea, but that one got super long and unwieldy for an exchange. If/when I finish it, I will probably end up gifting it to you since I wrote it with your headcanons in mind. So maybe extra treat for you in the spring. I hope you enjoy this, happy reading! ❤️

I appreciate every like, comment, and reblog! ❤️

Just the Two of Us

The dark blonde hadn't thought anything of Simon being late, even after the minutes continued to tick by with just himself and Peter standing outside of the taller man's home. Simon was meant to meet them here before the three left for their friends' holiday to avoid all the pesky couples and Valentine's Day fanfare. As Elias glanced from Peter to his watch he realized it was well past the time their mutual friend was met to arrive. Elias sighed, dropping his wrist and looking back to Peter and frowning at the man who was squinting at his phone.

"Perhaps I should call," Elias offered, shifting where he stood next to Peter and the other's car. "Of the three of us you are the one typically late, not him."

"I am not always late," Peter responded without looking away from his phone. "And he just texted me, said he was going to message you as well." The other added, without looking at him, focused on the message on his phone, only turning to Elias as his phone went off.

"Ah."

Elias shifted, pulling his phone free from his pocket. He was oddly aware of Peter's gaze on him as he read Simon's text. He was sure his features were flying through an array of reactions to the confusing words.

You two are impossible. I won't spend a non-romantic weekend with the two of you. The cottage is already paid for and you two are clearly already packed, so go on without me.

"What is he going on about?"

Elias kept reading it over and over again. Simon was always a bit odd, but he was being ridiculous and he responded to the message as such. They certainly weren't dancing about each other. Peter was handsome and they got on well enough when they were all together, however Peter and himself had never spent an extended amount of time alone. Not for lack of trying, mind you, Elias was always urging the other to walk with him when they would run into each other around the grounds but that had been it. He was sure that Peter had never once thought of having tea together without Simon between them. It was honestly aggravating for how much Elias had first tried to garner Peter's attention when they met.

Don't be thick, you know exactly what I mean. Send pictures. Ciao!

At the reply Elias shook his head, brows furrowed at the other's message. "Did he send the same to you?" Elias asked, looking at him with narrowed eyes. "About not wanting to be around us this weekend?"

Peter was looking away from him, nodding while shoving his phone into his pocket. "We don't have to." Peter was saying, already trying to weasel out of the getaway. "I can go alone if you…"

Elias studied Peter's smile as the other looked at his car, a cold breeze rolling over them both and causing the greying man to shiver beneath his reefer jacket. He took a deep inhale at the implication, Elias watching Peter before looking at the car as well.

"I can drop you back at yours if you like," his voice sounding unbothered and light.

"No, no it's fine," Elias said looking over Peter's smile when they turned back to each other. "I'm already packed." His eyes turned away from the other towards his suitcase. "Plus Simon or not, I was looking forward to the trip." He smiled, his shoulders shifting as he sighed, trying to forget Simon's reasons. "I'm sure we can avoid each other if we like."

Peter glanced at him at that, brows furrowing for a moment before nodding. "If we like," he repeated. "Its a decent drive up there," he added, moving to load the other man's suitcase into the boot of his car.
