Magnus

The moon shone through Alex's window, making shadows of the curtains appear on the floor. I could see her hair falling across her face, and her mouth was open a little. Her breathing was slow and even, and her hands were pulled up by her face, one of them holding onto mine.

Our legs were wrapped together, she was warm. We had been together for three months, I knew I loved her, and she said she loved me. There was a soft knock at the door, I slid away from Alex and to the door, opening it a little.

It was Sam "O-oh! Magnus! Sorry, I was looking for Alex."

I realized that I was wearing one of Alex's shirts, which might have made Sam suspect something (which would be completely wrong) and my own pajama pants.

I blushed a little, rubbing the back of my head "She's sleeping, what do you need?" I asked in a whisper, exiting the room and closing the door behind me.

"She asked me to get her this book on pottery, I have it."

Sam held out the book, which was a thick blue covered book with gold script on it "I'll give it to her in the morning."

She smiled and handed it to me, walking away after saying goodnight. I went back into Alex's room and closed the door silently. When I headed back to bed I found Alex sitting up in bed.

"Hey love, did I wake you up?" I whispered.

She shrugged and sniffed a little "I noticed you were gone, I thought you left."

I sighed quietly and crawled back into the bed, wrapping my arms round her small body and kissing her neck. She hugged me back and took a deep breath.

"What's wrong?" I muttered.

"I thought you up and left me, or something else, I don't know. I was kind of scared."

I rubbed her back with one hand and her hair with the other "I'm here, no need to worry."

I felt her smile a little. I slowly laid down, pulling her with me. She snuggled into my chest, I could feel her heartbeat, it was faster than usual but not too fast.

"Any nightmares?" I whispered.

"I haven't had any for a while, not since we've started sleeping in the same room."

I smiled a little, she used to have nightmares about her father and stepmom, from what she had told me they were really terrifying. Her dad would throw her out again and again, or he would do worse. Apparently she had also had a few about people dying, though she never said who.

"That's good, oh yeah, Sam came by to give you a book, it's at the foot of the bed."

"Cool, I'll read it later."

After a few minutes she sighed "I don't think I'm gonna be able to sleep."

"Yeah, me neither."

She squirmed out of my arms and sat up again, running her hand through my hair. I smiled up at her, gently grabbing her hand and kissing it.

"I love you," I muttered.

I could see her cover her face in embarrassment "You too you big sap."

I sat up, holding her hand and moving the one off her face with my other. I turned my head to the side and stared at her in the low light of the moon.

"You're so beautiful," I sighed.

She turned her face away and scoffed "Oh come on Maggie, why do you have to be so nice."

"I'm not just being nice, you are. You have the nicest eyes that make me want to stare at them for the rest of my life, the softest voice when we're alone, the most careful hands, and your attention to people's feelings. You're the most beautiful person in the worlds."

She was speechless for a moment, her multicolored eyes sparkling "So are you Magnus, I mean you literally glow. You're the most accepting person I've met, and you're nice to look at, heck, you even were with your Kurt Cobaine haircut. And you're really passionate about everything you love."

I smiled, kissing her softly, and she kissed back. A few minutes later I was leaning over her, we were still making out.

"This is for sure my favorite way to pass the time," she muttered.

"Mmhuhh, shh."

I ran my hand from her hair and down to her neck, tickling her slightly. She giggled, almost instantly covering her mouth.

"So you are ticklish," I laughed mischievously.

"Don't you fucking dare Magnus Chase," She warned.

"Oh I fucking dare," I said, tickling her mercilessly.

She suppressed her laughter for as long as she could, but eventually let it out.

"I, ahh, I will get you for this!"

I laughed a little and continued tickling her armpits. She pushed me a little, eventually having to move to hitting me with a pillow. I grabbed one of the pillows and laughed.

"Oh it's on Beantown," she chuckled.

She hit me in the stomach with the pillow, I hit her back, it went on like that for a while until I flopped back down on the bed in defeat.

"You beat me, Alex Fierro is the winner of this round," I panted.

She giggled laying down in between my arm and side "Yes I do, and I always will."

I nuzzled my face into her pottery smelling hair and wrapped my arms around her "You tired now?"

I felt her shrugging "A little."

"Good, we should try to go back to sleep."

She sighed, I was pretty sure she fell asleep after I did.

In the morning Alex and I went to breakfast together, I wore another one of her shirts, just a plain green and white stripped one, and she wore her usual attire, the pink and green vest and her white undershirt. We met the rest of the floor down there, getting a few weird looks.

Mallory giggled when she saw the two of us "You two have fun last night?"

My face flushed, but Alex smirked, "Oh yeah, tons."

T.J. almost spit out his O.J. "W-what?"

"Oh pay up buddy," she practically yelled.

"Hey, they never said what they were doing!" TJ shouted.

Sam turned around, a horrified look on her face "They were doing something last night?"

"Oh yeah, I heard most of it, a lot of laughing, some bed creaking, shrieking, I'll leave it up to your imagination," Mallory laughed.

Sam turned to me, her mouth wide open "N-nothing happened you guys!"

"Suuurrre," Halfborn laughed, nudging his girlfriend.

I was harassed for the rest of the day, Alex just couldn't stop laughing about the whole situation, at least one of us thought it was funny.
