Magnus Bane Imagines

I Like You

Normally you tried to stay away from Pandemonium. Tonight was different. The lights flashed and the music hummed through you but you didn't stop to take in the experience, instead you headed towards the back, looking for Magnus.

"(Y/N), how nice to see you." Magnus called out and beckoned you over, clearing a space on the seat next to him.

"It's rather boring sitting at home." You mumbled and Magnus smiled.

"Well I certainly hope I can find something to entertain my favourite warlock." Magnus offered you a seat next to him which you took happily.

"You know this place used to be a casino or something like that." You mumbled and he chuckled.

"I remember... Camille almost ate someone over there." Magnus smiled and pointed to what was now the back of the building.

When he glanced at you he couldn't help but chuckle at the faint blush that filled your cheeks. For hundreds of years you'd been trying to keep your feelings for him secret. His own feelings for you were complicated and a result of his many years as your companion.

"Have you heard from poor Jocelyn... Maryse said the house had... with Valentine and..." You trailed off and he took your hand.

"You have my word if I find out more than I will tell you what I can." He kissed the back of your hand and let himself enjoy how flustered the polite act made you.

"You know I like you a lot Magnus." You muttered to him as you watched the Downworlders dance around.

"I like you a lot to." Magnus chuckled.

There was look shared between you, there was a deeper meaning to your words, after hundreds of years neither was able to risk the friendship between the two of you so the affectionate glances were all you needed to let the other know how you really felt.
