That's the second time you've called me cute in this conversation.
[maybe it's something he should object to, along the same lines as "Bambi" or, in other conversations, "fuzzy" or "exceedingly Hufflepuff," but instead he's also grinning. if Alex Fierro thinks he's cute, he -- really can only be thrilled about it, honestly. he's stupidly, wonderfully thrilled about it, and it's all over his stupid rosy face, not quite hidden even behind his ducked head and hanging blond hair]
[when Alex presses his calf against his hip, Magnus, after a moment of clear hesitation (the impulse always feels natural, but to think he can touch him -- that he wants to touch him -- is, like it is for Alex, shockingly strange and new), Magnus drops his hand gently around Alex's ankle, just as he'd done a few weeks ago. it rests just as softly and carefully as it did then, but his smile is so much brighter]
[and, gods damn it to Friggin' Hel and a whole bunch of other Norse-themed swear words, when he looks at Alex, he's doe eyed, hopeless]
