Dating a warlock did have its perks, and you would be an idiot to deny that.

It was not the fact that Magnus whisked you off to new cities and countries with just a flick of his wrist, or the fact that he could conjure up literally anything you could ever ask for that made you fall in love with him.

It was the tiny things he did to make you laugh or crack a smile even on your worst days.

Magnus knew you were fascinated by his spells and the powerful magic he possessed, and loved it when he would do some small spells with you, whether it was just him conjuring up some images of the two of you together or getting your favorite chocolate from the store with the help of his magic.

You were currently sat quietly next to Magnus as he helped on of his shadowworld clients. You watched in awe as purple sparks erupted from his fingertips as he healed the sunburn wound that had destroyed the vampires skin.

Your boyfriends hands moved skillfully across the damaged skin and as he retracted his hands there was no trace left of the previous injury.

The vampire thanked Magnus profusely and you could see Magnus smile bashfully, still ever so humble despite all the compliments he had received over the years.

....

You were still sitting crosslegged on the chair with a small smile on your lips as Magnus returned after showing his client out.

"What are you smiling for?" He asked curiously as he sat down opposite you.

"I'm just still in such amazement about all you can do with your magic and yet you still choose to use it to help people" you said as you reached out to grab the warlocks manicured hands and turned them over.

Magnus met your eyes and smiled warmly as you traced his palm with your fingertips.

"I wish I could do the same" you said as you retracted your hand. "Can you?" You added and looked expectantly at your boyfriend.

Magnus chuckled, knowing at once that you wanted him to show off his magic.

Magnus pulled his shirt sleeves up a bit and closed his eyes as he flicked his hands out in front of him.

He looked so focused as he circled his hands and those beautiful sparks started to form in his hands. Magnus suddenly threw his hands up and you gasped as you saw the night sky reflected on the ceiling.

It was as if the ceiling had disappeared and you looked up into a star filled sky. The stars twinkled and you could see the full moon appear right before your eyes, giving off its mesmerizing bright light.

You turned to look at Magnus again and once again were blown away when you saw that his eyes had changed form their usual brown colour to a golden with his pupils having been stretched into small slits.

You knew Magnus trait as a warlock was his cat eyes, but you also knew that he had never shown them to anyone as they were a huge insecurity he had.

"Magnus, they're beautiful" you breathed out as you reached out to touch his cheek.

Magnus quickly averted his gaze.

"I didn't mean for you to see that" he said, still avoiding your gaze.

You quickly leaned over on the chair to get closer to him and placed your hand below his chin to lift his head up so he looked at you.

"Magnus, your eyes are such a huge part of who you are. I want to see all of you" you explained in a soft voice, desperately wanting him to know that he could be himself completely when he was around you.

Tears suddenly welled up in Magnus eyes and he suddenly leaned over to wrap you up into a hug. His arms wound around your torso as he pulled you with desperation into his arms.

You quickly returned the hug and ran your fingers through his hair.

"You don't know how much you saying that means to me" Magnus spoke up after a few minutes of silence and pulled back to look at you, his eyes now having changed back to his warm brown colour.

"Ever since my stepfather saw my eyes and said what a hideous being I am I haven't shown anyone my eyes. I never thought anyone would ever want to see them" Magnus explained, and you could feel your heart break at his words.

"Your eyes are something you should never ever be ashamed of Magnus, they're part of what makes you a warlock, part of the wonderful being you truly are" you said as you reached out to take his hands and gave them a comforting squeeze.

Magnus nodded his head, still not really able to shake off that shame he had been told to feel his entire life.

You knew if your words weren't quite enough to convince him, your actions would be.

You pressed your lips to his, pouring every ounce of love you felt for him into that kiss, just to let him know that he never had to feel like that ever again.

Magnus responded to the kiss quickly and you could feel the salt from his dried up tears touch your lips.

When the two of you eventually pulled back you rested your forehead against his, smiling when you saw his cat eyes looking right back at you.

I've been watching Harry Styles videos constantly for the past few days it feels like. I just want him to have his concerts in England soon.
