Ok I wasn't really meaning to post another chapter for this but I kind of got this idea and yeah…I really can't stop once I start so here you go. Sorry that it's so short but it's more like an epilog then an actual chapter. Hope you like it though.
I stepped out of the bathroom in only a loose shirt and boxers. Letting the steam out of the room from the hot and relaxing shower I just had. My body still feeling sore but I was getting used to the slight pain rather quickly.
"Really darling?" I heard Magnus's voice from my right and I looked towards him in confusion.
"What?" I asked, trying to not get affected by the fact that he was only wearing a pair of pants leaving his toned chest exposed as he walked towards me. No. Not distracting at all; I thought as I made my gaze move back to his face with only slight difficulty.
He got to me and pulled me to him so we were chest to chest now. "Are you really going to keep wearing a shirt all the time even after everything?"
I blushed at his words. Looking down at the floor as I fiddled with the hem of my shirt nervously.
It's more of a routine thing. I'm so used to making sure I wear a shirt all the time that I didn't even notice that I put it on. It's something I just do without thinking anything of it.
But on the other hand do I really want to let him see me like that on the light? Do I really want to let myself be that exposed? I mean both times he saw me it was more or less dark. Well darker then it is now as the sun is rising up. Do I really want to let him see?
Noticing that I'm getting worried again he tilted my chin up and kissed me. Kissed me so softly and with care that it made me feel like I'm something delicate and breakable. It made me feel like I'm something special.
"I don't like it when you're hiding yourself like this." He whispered after the kiss, his forehead resting against mine. "But I get it." He sighed. "I know you need time. And I'm willing to wait. But just so you know. I love you no matter what. Scares and all." He said and stepped away, letting go of me. "I'm going to make breakfast." He said with a smile, all seriousness gone in an instant. "Go at least put on a short sleeved shirt. It's getting hot pretty fast." He said and with one last kiss was gone towards the kitchen.
I blinked as I watched him go. Feeling a blush warming up my cheeks before turning around and walking to the bedroom to put some pants on.
When I pulled the shirt up and off of me to change it for a shorter sleeved one as Magnus said I hesitated for a moment. Another shirt in hand as I caught a glimpse of my reflection in one of the mirrors situated in Magnus's closet. I could see every one of the healed scars covering my pale skin. I could see every one of them so clearly. And it made me feel disguised as I did.
But-But Magnus saw them too. Magnus saw them. He touched them. He kissed them. He told me I'm beautiful and he loves me even after he saw them. Even after I told him I'm disgusted in myself he still wasn't… He isn't. But then why do I keep hiding away?
That same thought was echoing in my mind as a few minutes later I found myself slowly peaking into the kitchen before walking inside. Feeling uncertain as I shrinked into myself more and more the closer I got to Magnus who was scrambling eggs on the stove.
I was biting my lip with every hesitant step. One arm on my opposite shoulder to partly hide my now bare chest.
What if he doesn't mean it? This wasn't such a good idea; I thought as hundreds of insecurities passed through my mind the more time went by.
Finally I found myself right behind Magnus who surely noticed I'm here but still didn't turn around or acknowledged me. And that was good. If he turned around I would have probably fled.
Before I could turn around and run back to the bedroom to put on the shirt I left on the bed I leaned forward and hugged him from behind. Hiding my chest against his back.
I felt him tense and gasp in surprise. Obviously not expecting the skin contact.
He turned around slowly and pried me off of him so that now I was standing a little in front of him. Lower lip still between my teeth and one arm still trying to cover my bare chest as I looked down at the floor with his gaze on me.
I don't know what I expected him to do or say by this point but I was more then pleasantly surprised when he pulled me closer again and pressed his lips against mine.
"Thank you." He breathed against my lips after the kiss. "I love you so much Alexander."
I blushed and just smiled, knowing that I don't need to say anything because he already knows. He knows everything.
"Love you too." I whispered before both of my arms found themselves at the back of his neck and I pulled him in for another kiss, feeling him smile into it as he kissed back.
Making me think that maybe I will stop wearing shirts more while in the loft. But not all at once. No. Baby steps. I thought as we continued kissing. Yeah, baby steps are good.
