The following morning, Pit slowly awoke to the sensation of something nudging him. He could faintly hear Magnus's voice say something about work, causing Pit to look at him through squinted eyes. "I hate work," he commented, closing his eyes and snuggling up to his friend once more.
As he drifted back into unconsciousness, he was suddenly nudged once again.
"C'mon Pit..." he vaguely heard. "...I need to go. It's almost eight."
Finally grabbing his attention, Pit's eyes snapped open. "WHAT?!" He shot up and glanced at the clock on the wall, and upon confirming that the time was indeed correct, he clutched at his hair dramatically. "Oh no! I'm late for my duties!" he yelped, quickly sliding off the bed and stumbling toward the door.
"Uh, aren't you forgetting something?" Magnus pointed out, now sitting up.
Pit halted and turned to Magnus, tilting his head. "Huh? What do you mean?"
Magnus simply pointed to Pit's mid-section, to which the angel followed his finger downwards. That was when he realized that he was stripped down to his shorts and binder, causing him to gasp. "OH MY GOSH!"
The man stepped out of his bed. "Calm down," he sighed as he opened up a drawer in his nightstand. He pulled out Pit's chiton and sweater, then walked over and handed it to him.
Pit let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you," he replied, taking the clothes from him.
"No problem."
As Pit hastily slipped his clothes back on, Magnus changed from his sleep wear to his usual attire. Once he had finished, Pit looked up at his friend. "Hey Magnus?"
After Magnus was done as well, he glanced down at Pit with a look of mild curiosity. "Hm?"
The angel gestured with one finger for him come closer, to which the taller man complied. Pit then reached a hand up and caressed the side of Magnus's face, planting a gentle kiss on his lips. "Thanks. For everything."
Magnus gazed into his eyes, letting out a soft, breathy laugh moments later. "Don't mention it," he responded, giving him a kiss in return before pulling away and straightening his posture. "Anyway, we should probably get going before it gets too late."
Pit nodded, unable to hide the look of disappointment on his face. "Yeah..."
The man gave him a sympathetic glance and a pat on the back, and the two headed out the door before pausing to face each other.
"See you later!" Pit said, smiling sadly at him.
Magnus smirked. "You too, angel face." He turned to walk away, but hesitated and looked back to the angel. "...And don't worry," he began, ruffling Pit's hair, "I'll be sure to visit again real soon."
Pit gazed up at him, his smile becoming more genuine than the one he gave before. In that moment, he wished he could stay with Magnus for the rest of his life, but he knew that the concept was impossible for many different reasons. So instead, he decided to keep his response brief. "Then I guess I'll see you soon!"
With that, they split off and went their separate ways, heading back to their lives that were worlds apart.
