Magnus glanced at the luxurious vintage watch adorning his wrist. He pursed his lips as he observed the time pass.
The day before had been rather peculiar for Magnus. Imasu had presented him with a watch, and they had shared their first kiss. Magnus's thoughts drifted to that moment. It was Imasu who had initiated the kiss at work, just after he had handed over the watch.
"Magnus?" Imasu called out as he entered his office.
"Yes, Imasu?"Magnus lifted his head from the document he was engrossed in, a smile already gracing his face.
"Are you busy at the moment?" Imasu inquired, glancing at the document Magnus was studying.
"Not particularly. I just have one more document to review before finishing my tasks for the day." Magnus let out a soft sigh as he removed his glasses.
"You look 10 years older when wearing glasses. Have you thought about using contact lenses? It seems a pity to hide those beautiful eyes behind spectacles." Imasu disregarded Magnus's earlier warning and sat on his desk. Magnus was well aware of the allure of having one's beloved seated on their work desk, teasing them, but it was not an ideal situation when there were crucial documents that required utmost care and attention on that very desk. Magnus decided to remain silent, contemplating whether his cautious nature was rendering him overly restrictive.
"I'll have a look." Magnus smiled as he closed the document he was reading and gently pushed it aside so it wouldn't mess up.
"By the way, why are you here?" Magnus ask.
"Well, since your birthday is tomorrow, I thought it would be better to give your gift today." Imasu said with a wink as he handed over a beautifully wrapped box to Magnus.
"Happy Birthday, Mr. Bane."
"Back to Mr. Bane, are we?" Magnus chuckled as he graciously accepted the box.
"Well, thank you very much. May I open it now?"
"Yeah, go ahead." Imasu's smile widened. From his facial expressions, he was clearly very proud of his choice.
Magnus carefully removed the little gold bow on top of the box and the wrapping paper. His eyes widened when he saw the brand on top of the box. Magnus looked up at Imasu.
"Open it," Imasu urged Magnus.
"Yes, of course." Magnus smiled, trying his best not to gulp. Magnus opened the box and was faced with a beautifully crafted watch, which he was sure his Pop would appreciate more than he would. It was a silver-colored vintage watch with a gold trim. It was clearly a rare vintage watch.
"It is engraved." Imasu took the watch out of the box and turned it around to show Magnus's initials engraved on the back of the watch face.
"Do you like it?" Imasu askrd again.
"Yes." Magnus lied.
"Thank you very much for this thoughtful gift. You really didn't have to spend so much money." Magnus meant that sincerely.
"Oh, don't worry about it. I wanted to get you a nice watch. I think it will complement your appearance and make you look even more handsome." Imasu smiled warmly.
"Thank you, Imasu." Magnus looked at Imasu with gratitude and then glanced down at the watch in the box.
"You are most welcome, Mags." Imasu watched Magnus look up at him with appreciation.
"Well, I'm going to go now. Going out with my friends. We've got a bit of a wild one planned for tonight."
"Yeah, you mentioned it. Have fun." Magnus smiled as he closed the box and put it on the table.
