Together by faith

Chapter 38.

Magnus and I were laying beside each other on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I was still extremely pissed off that my father had the courage to show himself here, especially after what happened when we celebrated Christmas together. All I had to do was thinking about my homophobic father, and I could feel how my whole body got stiff.
- Alexander, you need to relax, Magnus said and put his arms around my waste
- I am relaxed, I answered
- No, you're not. Please, whatever you're thinking about, let it go
- I can't let go of the fact that my father hates me, but that's not even the biggest problem anymore, I said and sighed
- Then what is the biggest problem? Magnus answered and looked at me
- I hate him too
- Alexander
- No, I actually hate him. At first, I tried to see past everything. Every death glare, every bitchy comment, but I can't do that anymore. I hate him for treating me like shit ever since I came out and I hate him for hating me, I answered
- I'm sorry
- Magnus, why are you apologising?
- Because it feels like everything got a lot worse when you got together with me, he answered and looked the other way
- Don't you dare say that, Magnus Bane. When I met you, everything in my life got a lot better, not the other way around. You saved me from a life of constant anxiety and the feeling of loneliness and for that, I love you, I said
- I love you too
- It's kinda hilarious, isn't it? I asked after a while of comforting silence
- What?
- That we both have daddy issues
- Oh my god, don't say it like that, Magnus answered and laughed
I also started laughing at my own stupid joke and I can't really tell for how long we laughed, but when my stomach started to hurt like crazy, we finally stopped.
- I'm so happy that you walked into my life, Magnus whispered and gave me a light kiss on my lips
- And I'm happy that you walked into my life, I whispered back and smiled
The day continued on like this pretty much and honestly, I'm not complaining. No matter how angry I was, and how hurt I felt because of my father, Magnus made me feel so much better, and all he had to do was being in the same room. At the moment, I sat alone in the living room. Magnus had fallen asleep after a while of just laying in the bed and since I didn't want to wake him up because I'm a nice boyfriend, I let him sleep. Suddenly, I felt how my phone vibrated from my pocket and when I reached it, Isabelle's name stood on the front screen.

"Izzy, is everything alright?"

"Expect the fact that I miss you and Magnus like crazy, yes"

"You're adorable"

"Of course I am. Now, tell me what happened earlier this morning. I heard that dad payed you guys a visit"

"He did"

"And?"

"I wanted to kill him"

"That's understanding, but what did he say? He was pretty messed up when he arrived back home"

"He told me that he hated who I had become after I came out of the closet and then he also said that his coworkers had contacted Magnus father and apparently, for some reason, he wanted meet up with Magnus  and to talk to him"

"First of all, don't listen to dad, he's an ass. Second of all, is Magnus going to meet his father?"

"I don't know"

"I'll do some research and then I'll text you and we can decide together if Magnus father is worth meeting. What do you say about that?"

"It sounds good"

"Perfect, I'll be in touch"

After that, Isabelle hung up and I could tell that she was already getting started with her FBI work, searching for information about Magnus father. I decided that I had been alone for a way too long time, so I went back into my room where Magnus was sleeping and woke him up.
- Rise and shine my little baby, I said and kissed his forehead
- I'm older than you, idiot, he mumbled which made me laugh out loud
- I know you are, but I'm still taller
- I hate it
- And why is that? I asked
- Because then I have to stand on my tiptoes to kiss you, he answered
- Oh no, what a catastrophe
As an answer, Magnus let out a low chuckle and I could see how he smiled.
- Are you hungry? I asked and dragged my hand through his hair
- Yeah, can we order pizza? I'm too lazy to cook something, he answered
- Of course
I ordered pizza for the two of us and until it arrived, we couldn't really keep our lips apart. Well, what can I say? It's not like I'm complaining. When the pizza finally arrived, we ate it in front of the TV while watching some weird movie that was playing. I can't really say that we have been productive this day, but why would we? It's Christmas break, we're allowed to do absolutely nothing.
- What do you want to do tomorrow? Magnus asked when we were laying beside each other one again on my bed
- What do you say about a little trip?
- A trip? Where? He asked
- I don't know, but I really feel like leaving New York for a while, I answered
- Wherever you want to go, I'll follow you, Magnus said and smiled
- Perfect
We kissed one more time and after that, the two of us fell asleep in the lovely presence of each other.

Hello there guys😇 How are you all? I'm having the time of my life in USA right now and I don't think I ever want to return back to Sweden🙈 What do you guys think Izzy will find out about Magnus real father? Will it be good or bad, and will Magnus even want to meet him? Comment what you think

I love you all so much and thanks for always supporting me❤️

STAY AWESOME
