"I never knew magic could be so beautiful."
Julian stood by you in the forest, waves of light all across the visible spectrum clinging to trees and fronds of exotic plants. The air you breathed was fresher, energized by the life of the world around you. He gazed up to the sky, the twinkling stars almost drowned out by the luminescence around you. Magic was so foreign to him. Julian's eyes were wide with wonder and you laugh at his childlike expression.
"It's as if you don't know you have an aura too."
"I do?!" He started, whirling around as if he expected to see a bug on his coat.
"Shhhh, not like that. Everyone has an aura. A subtle one." You placed a hand on his chest with a smile, able to feel a slight hum under the pads of your fingertips. "Want to know what yours feels like?"
"Uh. Is it bad?"
You gently reached out your magic to feel him, eyes closing. You breathed deeply and felt blue, a slate blue like ocean waves pulled lazily by the tide against his skin, melancholy and playfulness swirling together into something aching and nostalgic. It was alluring, healing, teasing. You slide your other hand up his chest, angling your head almost as if you're smelling him. The scent of rain and crushed leaves on an autumn evening overwhelmed you, bittersweet coffee on your tongue as you shuddered with delight. It was so purely Julian, and you couldn't get enough.
Without even thinking you stepped closer, a smile on your face at the intimacy. Julian awkwardly put his hands on your hips. "Uhhhh, so-"
You kissed him, slow and deep, sighing as your hips pressed flush together, hands winding into his hair. He hugged you close, need gravitating you to him, meshing with his soul and kissing like you couldn't let go. You opened your eyes and Julian's face was a bright pink.
"It's good?" He puzzled. "You seem, uh, interested." True to his nature, Julian's hips rocked suggestively against yours.
"It's you. It's like the ocean. You're a calming blue, with so much more below the surface."
Julian grinned. "Ocean, huh? I expected you to outright tell me I'm salty!"
"That's it!" You laughed with him, still so close under the stars. "My official aura reading is that you're Salty."
Julian's eye glimmered with mischief and your instincts protectively braced you for verbal impact. "And if you like the taste of salt so much, maybe you'd like to-"
"JULIAN!"
