Magnus Singing(A 3k Reads Special)

This oneshot was requested by ILoveHauMoreThanLife from my 3k Reads Special! I hope they like sad oneshots because I was crying while writing this! (Song by My Chemical Romance)

Alex Fierro's POV

I snuck into Magnus's room before he got back from Midgard and climbed up his tree. I was doing this to see if my hypothesis is right, can Maggie really sing? I know he listens to music a lot and he usually listens to music at this time of day, so I decide to see if he can sing. Now I know what your thinking, wow Alex you're such a stalker. The truth is I don't have much to do in Valhalla and I am bored. So here I am, sitting in his tree, waiting for him to come back. Then his door opens and he walks into the room. He is handsome............................... I need to stop crushing on him so hard. He gets his phone out of his pocket and clicks a few buttons then a song starts to stream from his phone. This is it! I can finally figure out if he can sing! He walks over to the tree and I start to get afraid he might climb it and find me out, but he sits below it and starts to sing.

"When I was a young, my father took me into the city to see a marching band," He sings beautifully, "He said son, when you grow up, would you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"

"He said, will you defeat them? Your demons, and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made? Because one day, I'll leave you, a phantom, to lead you in the summer, to join the black parade," He sings sadly.

I let the lyrics sink in. Wait, this song is super sad..............why would Maggie be singing like to something like this? Then the answer pops into my head, his mother. He loved his mother dearly and probably pretends he could sing this to her. The song turns louder and the singer and Maggie seem to be yelling the lyrics. What must be going on in his brain right now? He must really miss her.........

The song then goes into a rapid guitar solo.

Maggie puts his hands over his face and then starts to sing, "Sometimes I get the feeling, she watching over me, And other times I feel like I should go, and through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets, and when you're gone we want you all to know," He sings and takes a deep breath, "We'll carry on! We'll carry on! and though your dead and gone, believe me, your memory will carry on! we'll carry on, and in my heart, I can't contain it, the anthem won't explain it!"

I bit my lip and try to hold back tears. I shouldn't be here, this is something personal for him. This song has deep meaning to him, I shouldn't be here!

"A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams, your misery and hate will kill us all," He sings, "So paint it black and take it back! Defiant to the end, we hear the call......to carry on!"

Oh my gods I feel so bad for him. He is still sitting and loves weary, tired, and above all, sad.

"We'll carry on! And though your dead and gone, believe me, your memory will carry on! We'll carry on! And though you're broken and defeated, your weary widow marches......." He sings and starts to cry.

Oh my gods, I am going down there right now and hugging the crap out of him. I don't even care if it will blow my cover, he needs it. The song goes on, but his singing was stopped by his tears. I jump down off the branch I was sitting on and onto the grass floor next to him. He looks up and sees me through his tears. Instead of doing anything, he just cries harder with his hands covering up his face. I move to over to hug him and he lets me.

"I'm just a man, I'm not a hero," The song plays on, "Just a boy who had to sing this song, just a man....I am not a hero, I don't care!"

I grab his stupid phone and stop the music. I hug Maggie all the harder. He needs this, he deserves this, he must feel so bad right now. The room is now silent except for his sobbing.

"It's okay Maggie, everything is alright, your alright, you'll be alright, just take some deep breathes," I say to try to calm him down.

He just cries harder.......

Magnus Chase's POV

This is all about my mother. Today is my mothers birthday and it really broke me. To make it worse, outside of my window is Helheim. Sometimes if I squint, I can almost make out the face out my mother amidst the flames. I was singing this song to commemorate her but I just broke down after singing your weary widow marches, because my mother isn't marching. She is dead and in Helheim. Then Alex came out of nowhere and started to try to comfort me, which made me cry harder. It made my cry harder because Alex reminds me of my mother. She would come out of nowhere sometimes whenever I needed her and try to comfort me. So Alex trying to comfort me is obviously not working because I just keep crying harder. So many memories of my mother are in my head, each of them trying to make my crying even worse.

"Maggie, I know all this is about your mother, but you just need to remember that you still can make a difference in all the nine worlds, you can still do great things and you can still accomplish your dreams, I believe in you Maggie, all of your friends believe in you, we all believe you can be okay," She coaxes me.

"You sound like my mother," I say under my breath.

She hugs me harder as I cry onto her shirt. There are no happy endings to this story, just a simple lesson.

Everyone has a breaking point.
