AN: we all know that Tesla’s soft spot is for Magnus :3
Helen Magnus and Will stood with their backs facing each other, each of them researching the rare abnormal they had just found.
“hih- Ishoo!” Will turned when he heard a feminine sneeze from behind him. “Magnus?” he asked “Are you okay?” She quickly wiped her nose with her sleeve before turning to face Will “Yes I’m fine, why do you ask?” He broke eye contact with her “Um . . . I don’t know, I’ve just never heard you sneeze before.”
“It’s probably just dusty in here.” Magnus said, hoping Will would just dismiss it, and he did for a while until he heard her sniffling scattered throughout the hour. Finally he decided to question it a second time. “Magnus,”
“Yes Will?” she said, looking up from the book in her hand. “Are you sure you’re not . . . “ he hesitated for a moment, knowing that she’s the doctor and he’s just the shrink “You know . . coming down with something?”
“I rarely get ill, you know that.”
Will gave up “Okay.” he said.
Magnus nodded “Good.” She said sternly.
Magnus eventually got to the point where she was sniffling or clearing her throat every thirty seconds. She knew that as time passed it was becoming more and more obvious that she wasn’t feeling well. With her elbow on her desk and her head resting on her hand, she looked up “Will,” she noticed that her voice had changed since she last spoke “I’m going to confess something to you.”
“Hmm.” he looked at her with a grin on his face. He was sure he had an idea of what she was going to say.
“I think I may be getting a cold.” The words tasted sour coming out of her mouth. She wasn’t used to admitting things so easily.
Will’s grin became down-right sarcastic “Oh really?” he said.
The look on his face made her laugh “I should probably go to bed.”
He raised his eyebrows “Okay, now I’m worried.”
“Goodnight.” She said, ignoring his joke. She got up and walked out the room, leaving will with a stack of books to put away.
When he finally got them put away, he left her office and head to his room. Tesla caught up to him in the hallway “Where is she?”
“Magnus?”
“Who else would I be talking about?”
“She went to bed.”
“It’s only ten thirty.” Tesla said with concern that was easily hidden from Will.
“She wasn’t feeling well.”
“What?”
“Yeah.”
Tesla walked past Will, not saying anything, just walking quickly down the hallway to Helen’s room. When he got to the doorway, he looked around to make sure nobody saw him as he walked in. “Helen?” he said quietly. She sat in her bed with a box of tissues on her lap. “hih- Eckshoo!”
Nikola smiled “Your sneezes haven’t changed.” He chuckled.
“Oh good, that’s exactly what I was worried about.”
He welcomed himself into the room and sat on her bed. “You didn’t tell me you were sick, I’m quite offended.” He said.
“Really Nikola, now is not the time to be- hih- Ikchsoo!”
“I’m not going to tell you how terrible you sound, I know how women hate hearing that.”
“Dear Lord . . .” Magnus mumbles under her breath “Did you just come in here to pester me?”
“No, actually I wanted to make sure you’re okay.”
“Oh really?” to Nikola’s satisfaction, a slight smile appeared on her face.
“Yes it’s true, the vampire wants to make you feel better.”
“And how do you plan to do tha –“ her sentence was cut off by his lips gently pressed against hers.
