A raven-haired beauty pushed through the crowd, shutting off the loud, upbeat music with a flick of her wrist. She wore a short dress, zebra-striped with tons of neon colors, and thigh-high, rainbow, boots with three inch heels. A murmur spread through the crowd when the music stopped, but the second the girl stepped onto the stage in the center off the room, all eyes were on her, including that of the host, who had an amused smile on his lips. "I know, I know. Now shut the hell up!" She snapped, making a mic stand, complete with a microphone appear in front of her. When she faced the crowd, it was plain to see that her eyes were a nearly glowing, neon purple, and slit-pupiled, like that of a cat. When she spoke, the room feel into near silence. "Now, today's my brother's birthday, even if he refuses to admit it," Her enchanting eyes fell onto Magnus, but no one paid any attention., "So I'm here to surprise him. This song's for you, bro." A guitar rift started playing from the speakers.
"We were drawn from the weeds
We were brave like soldiers
Falling down under the pale moonlight
You were holding to me
Like a someone broken
And I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now
Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down" As the words fell from her mouth, Magnus smiled, moving forward towards the stage unconsciously. Memories of days past, of all the times that he'd called for the one person who was always there for him, all the times she'd held him as he fell apart.
"Fall on me
Tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you forever in me
Ever the same" The words got to him, found his heart. Forever, and they had forever. They'd always have forever, him and her.
"We would stand in the wind
We were free like water
Flowing down
Under the warmth of the sun
Now it's cold and we're scared
And we've both been shaken
Hey, look at us
Man, this doesn't need to be the end" Once again, memories flooded the warlock. He remembered being young, afraid. Be he hadn't been alone. He'd never been alone.
"Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down
Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Call on me
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same" Magnus couldn't count the times he'd fallen back on her, or the times she'd fallen on him. For practically as long as he could remember, she'd only been a message away, if not closer. He unconsciously fingered the chunk of white stone that hung from a silver chain about his neck, one that was identically to the stone hanging from the singer's neck.
"You may need me there
To carry all your weight
But you're no burden I assure
You tide me over
With a warmth I'll not forget
But I can only give you love" The girl onstage had given Magnus so much more than her love. She'd given her strength, her heart, her soul. They were closer than blood siblings could be, closer than anyone could be, really.
"Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Call on me
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same" The raven-haired beauty smiled at her brother as the song drew to a close. She leaped gracefully form the stage, turning the upbeat music back on as she did. She walked towards the door that she knew to lead to Magnus's room, beckoning with one long, pale finger for him to follow.
The second the door feel shut behind him, he threw his arms around the considerably smaller girl. "Nellie. Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you." He said crushing his sister to him.
"Uh, Magnus? You're getting your glitter in my hair," She said, good naturedly. He pulled back, and she reached up a hand to wipe away a tear on his cheek. "Happy birthday, brother."
He hadn't noticed he was crying.
AN- So. This was majorly OOC for Magnus, but meh. If you wanna know more about Nelphara Bane, (the girl in the story) her (non-romantic) relationship with Magnus, and her story, message me. I have a few unpublished stories on my computer, one of which details her life story. ;D They're mostly unfinished, but ya get what ya get. Review, even if ya hate it!
