Magnus Chase and Alex Fierro

Magnex

     Magnus POV

A few days after retrieving Thor's hammer, I was sitting in my bedroom, skimming through the books on my bookshelf, when Alex Fierro walked in a slammed the door behind her.
      "Hey! Have you ever heard of knocking?" I asked.
      She ignored my comment. "Do you have anything planned today Maggie?" Alex's hair was the usual green, with faint black roots at the top. Right now, I knew she was definitely female. She was dressed in her regular mismatched outfit but I could just tell.
      I shrugged, "I don't think so. Why?"
     She chewed her bottom lip. I don't think I have ever seen Alex at a loss of words before. My heart jumped a little of the thought that she might be nervous... Don't be ridiculous Magnus, you know she doesn't like you.
      "I don't know... you just wanna hang out?"
      I have always felt a little attraction to her, but lately... I've been wanting to make a move. Every time I'm around her.. my body tingles and I can't help but stare. I didn't mind at all that she was gender fluid either, I mean, it's not like it's her fault or anything. I shuffled my feet.
       "Sure why not? How about we just get out of Vahalla for a little?"
       "Sounds fine with me. Fadlan's falafels?"    She asked. I nod vigorously. I was convinced that falafels came from the gods. They probably did.
     She starts walking to the door. I didn't want her to leave... not yet. But I'd see her in a little bit.

     A couple of hours later, I was waiting for Alex at Fadlan's. I prayed that she would show up. Five more minutes later, she came walking towards my table and slid across from me. Alex had changed from earlier. Instead of her plaid sweater and pink jacket, she wore a simple black dress. I had to admit, she looked amazing. But she always does.
      "I'm glad you could make it." I said.
      "Oh please... I'm not that late." She sighed.
I laughed. I offered her some falafel but she declined. We talked a little bit about Sam and how Alex should really train her to not to give into to Loki's powers. The whole time we were talking, I felt so jittery inside.
I reached to get my drink and at the same time, Alex reached to get hers. Our hands brushed and my heart began racing. Electric tingles went up my arm.
Alex looked at me. I could feel my face burning.
"Look, Magnus. I've been meaning to tell you this... I'm not sure how to say it but... well- you were the first person to accept me- as me- and I've always felt like- I don't know.. just a connection with us when I first met you... and don't deny you haven't felt anything either. Everyone knows you have a crush on me." She crossed her arms but his cheeks were bright red.
My heart was about to explode out of my chest as I scratched the back of my neck. "You've noticed?"
She rolled his eyes, "Everyone has. It's pretty obvious."
I cringed. "Is it really?"
She didn't answer.
Sweat trickled down the side of my face. All of sudden, we both leaned forward at the same time. Our faces were only 2 inches apart. I looked down and saw a slowly growing bulge in my pants. Her lips met mine and for a split second, I was lost in my own world. Ok, maybe it was more like 20 seconds. I stood up and pulled her neck closer. She pushed her tongue to mine and they intertwined. I didn't want to let go. Alex broke away for a second. She locked eyes with me and something told me that she wanted to continue somewhere else.
