Accidental Video (1st eva?)

 [It's dark in the room. It's late. By all rights, Magnus should be sleeping upstairs, but he can't sleep. Instead, he's in the kitchen, looking over his old invitations list for the party he never seems to get around to throwing. But he does come back to the invite list time and again, which is why it currently looks like crap, so many names ( Read more... )

[for a long time, he simply watches, also unable to sleep. Periodically, his thumb hovers over the 'call' button, but he rejects the idea every time, knowing full well he is the last person Magnus wants to hear from right now. As proven by the fact that he's being replaced as beverage boy.]

[Finally, after a very long time, he manages to get himself together enough to send off a text message he hopes won't be deleted immediately.]

I'm sorry. I doubt you'll forgive me, either sooner or later, but it needs to be said. Especially since you're crossing me off whatever list you're making now, effectively cutting me out of your life. Not like that hasn't happened before ( ... )

[Surprised, actually, seeing the text pop up, not having clued in to the fact that he was being recorded]

[And now he's actually reading the text and making faces, irritation rising again]

[Turns his cheek away, not sure if he is even going to dignify this text with a reply. Several minutes pass and plays with the Dreamberry, just tapping it against the countertop like it's a fork instead of a phone, perfectly fine for beating on things]

[He blinks a few times in confusion. Then a few more times. Then tries to understand why his name was crossed off and put back on.]

What's the list for?

It's nothing. [Moody warlock is moody. But it's just Mille. He's not really mad at Mille. He feels a little bad now, having briefly directed his anger/hurt at the wrong person on paper. But damn the Dreamberry for stalking him! He couldn't even sulk in peace now]

Rough draft for the invitations list for a party I keep putting off.

[A party? And his name got crossed off then put back on? He does THINK he did anything.]

Have I done something wrong?

...Uh, Magnus?

{'Fang boy' lingers on his tongue. But being a bitch to everyone who calls isn't going to make him feel better. Well, maybe a little now, but worse later... so, Magnus pauses a moment before boldly going where this warlock has rarely gone before}

[ GASP. It must be serious business, then. Awkward silence, so awkward. ]

I may regret this in the future but ... you look like crap. What's wrong?

{Bristles at the comment about looking like crap, taking it very literally, and is thusly insulted. His nostrils flare, lips tighten, but he breathes through it. Breathing, calming, taking it}

Are you trying to comfort me, vampire?

{Glares at the screen. But then the claws retract and Magnus rubs his face wearily, losing some glitter in the process}

I'm over it.

I doubt that. [ A pause, a hum -- ]

Does it involve Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome, by any chance?

No.

A pale, not as tall, not as handsome wizard.

[Alec had felt it when Magnus had left the bedroom, only pretending to sleep and not being able to get to sleep himself. He'd felt that something was bothering the warlock for several days or so now. So, he snuck downstairs after the man had left the room, finding him in the kitchen of all places. He'd hung out near the doorway, staying close to the shadows, going back and forth between standing and watching or knocking on the door and actually confronting Magnus. Ale was just about to do the latter when a wad of paper made it's way towards the sink, which was close to the kitchen entrance where Alec was ( ... )

{The Dreamberry is buzzing incessantly. Apparently his entire venting session had been on record, available for viewing by every damned person in Somarium, all the sarcastic, mocking, annoying people he really wanted, needed a break from.

{And if that wasn't enough, Alec had also seen the whole thing firsthand, and that careful look on his face, his unnaturally calm voice sent an unexpected shudder down the warlock's spine, a queezy feeling he supposed must be panic, fear, and self-loathing overriding the previous frustration and anger he felt toward Draco.

{Magnus bit his lip, pretty hard. He leaned his face into his hand, fingers knotting around his bed-snarled hair, pulling on it. He didn't have the willpower to lie to Alec, to pretend he was just on the male rag and call it a night. That wouldn't get him very far}

Got in a fight with Draco. He was a prick, I was an ass. He waved his magic stick at me and I deflected it. I wanted to set his room on fire, but I came back before it could escalate.

{Touches his tongue to his ( ... )

[Alec gives him an assessing look. He knows there's more to it than that. He knows because of that stupid dream a week or so ago... the ones people were having that somehow sucked others in. In going back to revisit it, to pick apart what had happened, hoping it would give him more insight into the world of Somarium, he had inevitably seen what had happened between Magnus and Draco, as if it had become part of the dream somehow. He had seethed, he'd gone out for a long run that day, had taken an even longer shower, avoided Magnus and gone to bed early and said nothing.

[Then Jace had left, and Alec had pushed what had happened between Draco and Magnus aside because he was so afraid of losing the warlock, too, and having no one. But it'd been gnawing at the back of his mind for some time, and now he realized the reason he hadn't said anything was because he was waiting for Magnus to come clean about the whole thing. He wanted to hear it from his boyfriend... and at the same time, he wanted to hear that it meant nothing. But ( ... )

"He hurt me," Magnus replied, his sincerity raw and painful to hear.

Trying to play back their brief convo earlier, Magnus wasn't even sure how shock segwayed into amusement, and then to hate/hurt, but it had. Draco had ceased to be someone he trusted or even liked in three seconds flat, and the door closed for Magnus. Closed hard and it was still ringing in his head.

Anger was a clever distraction. Anger was easy and detached. The fact that Draco had wounded him rather than merely pissed him off, that was a difficult pill to swallow. Precious few people had that power.

"He said some shitty things, which... he always does, but not to me. Not like that."
