Alexus was right of course- my magic was back in full swing by the next sunrise.
I'd spent another night curled up in Thanatos' arms; the candles flickering on the bedside table as he read his thick, leather-bound book. Thanatos' eyes were almost vacant as they glided across the beige pages- his dark silhouette beautifully contrasting against the dancing flames.
We didn't really need to fill the silence with talking, it was comfortable enough as it was, and this strange new sense of ease we felt around each other was slowly chiselling away at our high walls.
I fell asleep relatively quickly, mainly from the exhaustion I still felt, but also because I felt so at peace next to him- his body heat radiating off in waves onto my skin. He'd stayed close to me the whole night after he'd returned home from a routine visit to Earth in the afternoon.
