Malec - Does he know?

Midnight Whispers

During dinner we laughed so much of the insident. Izzy told Mom and Dad about what happened with Sebastian and his group of goonies.

Dad ruffled my hair and said, "I'm so proud of you, son. Nobody should be bullied about their sexuality. And to add to that, no one should be bullied, period! You and Magnus are good friends and you are allowed to have a private conversation without someone calling you names."

Izzy looked at me though her hair with a tiny smile on her lips, while eating her dinner.

I guess she's right. I should be so scared about telling them about who I really am. They love me. But I don't really feel ready for it yet. I guess I'll give it a bit more time.

I was so nervous. Magnus and I had agreed to call each other tonight to talk about how to get our friends to get together as couples.
It was kind of weird having to talk to him about something like this, when I just really just want to tell him that I am in love with him. But on the other hand, it is exhilarating to be able to talk to him alone and secretly. And he isn't able to see me blushing every time he says something flirty or adorable.

I went to my room to study for a couple of hours. I needed to have some assignments done before the weekend, that were due after my birthday weekend.
Izzy came in a couple of times to ask me about some math problems and to give me a good night hug.

I'd forgotten all about how late it was and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Did Magnus expect me to call him? Had he forgotten to call me?
I looked at my phone. There was a text from Magnus from about 5 minutes ago.

~ I'm just getting ready for bed. I'll be back in 15 min. and then I'll call you. Talk soon. X ~

I raced to the bathroom to get ready for bed myself and to be back before he would call me.

I just got back to my room. I only managed to get my pyjama pants on, when my phone started to ring. My heart started to race.

"Hi Magnus. How are you?"

"Hi Grumpy. So happy to hear your voice. I was kind of scared that you had already gone to bed. You never texted me back."

"Oh Mags, I'm sorry. I was studying and forgot to turn on the sound on my phone. I just saw your text 10 minutes ago."

"Hey as long as you're still up for a little secret phone session with me. Then I'm good."
I could hear the smirk in his voice and it made me blush. He certainly was a master flirter.

"I'm all yours." I said. I could hear him gasp a little and liked the thought that I had that affect on him.

I could hear him schuffling around. "Let me just get comfortable. I was out running earlier and my legs are so sore."

The mear thought of him alone in bed in his pyjamas (or in his underwear *oh my*) turned me on like crazy. He probably had damp hair from his shower and droplets running down his delicious caramel colored abs. I could feel my entire body heating up.

"You went running? Why? We have track tomorrow. Are still working on beating me? You know I'm faster than you." I giggled. I had to say something that brought my thoughts away from the vision I had in my mind of him alone, half naked in bed.

"Nah, I just had to blow off some steam. I am still a bit wound up about Sebastian and the guys. I'm really happy you acted that fast. I'm pretty sure I would have punched him in his stupid smug face if you hadn't done something."

It made my heart jump. I didn't like that he got upset about this. I wanted to protect him from everything bad or anything that made him sad. But I'm kind of proud of him to let me protect him. I know he can fight very well for himself, but I like that he trusts me enough to let me be there for him.
