Magnus Chase Oneshots!

I Shouldn't Be Jealous!

Alex Fierro's POV

The moment Vera Constance walked in Valhalla I wanted to murder her. Perfect waistline, perfect hair, perfect everything about her. She had chocolate brown skin, lavish black hair, and the most obnoxious laugh in the nine worlds. She died defending her class from a school shooter with the real sword she kept in the classroom (She was a history teacher). Everyone gave her a standing ovation except for me, even Maggie. No, not the girl from floor five, Magnus freaking Chase. When he looked at her his eyes lit up in such a passionate and loving (Ugh, ew) way. She even got to sit at our table which was an awful sight at dinner. Guys would be throwing apples at her, trying to propose to her, and flirting with her. Even T.J., who kisses his bayonet before the battle, was flirting with her. Magnus wasn't flirting with her but she was flirting with him. Oh did she flirt with him. She would throw pickup lines at him all dinner if it weren't for the rest of having normal (By Viking standards) talk. He did stare at her a lot and would laugh at her awful jokes and puns. I know I shouldn't be, I wasn't his girlfriend, but I was jealous of Vera. Not just jealous of her looks, but how much I think that she and Magnus like each other. It's petty, I know, but she has all his attention lately. I shouldn't be jealous! Yet here I am, glaring at Vera from across the dinner table. She was sitting next to Maggie, of course, and flirting with him obnoxiously. 

Mallory whispers in my ear, "You like Magnus".

She says it as a statement, not a question and I turn to her quickly. I give her my hardest, meanest, glare I could muster,  but she just smiles. Ugh, why does she have to be so, so, herself! 

She winks at me, "That just proves it!"

I sigh, looking over at Vera and Maggie talking. He has this fire in his eye, this passion when he looks at her. I hated it so much, my face was so red, hands clenched, jaw tightened, I felt as if I could kill a god for good. Instead I "accidentally" killed Vera in every battle after that. I got so fed up with her that I couldn't even go out and see her at breakfast this morning. I doubted anyone would notice because they were all so transfixed with her. I sat alone, at my pottery wheel, making a flower pot to ease myself into calm. I knew Magnus Chase would never be the person I would get to call mine. He's a healer, child of a guy who is actually a good person. Everyone hates my mother, which puts me in a good position to be hated too. Everyone loves Magnus, the healer of that is good in this world. I love him, I hate that I love him. It's never going to happen and it tears me apart inside. I shouldn't be jealous! Magnus will end up Vera and they will live happily ever after! The end. Knock, knock! 

"Who is it?" I call out rudely, not in the mood for visitors. 

"It's me, Magnus," Magnus calls from the hallway. 

"Go away!" I practically scream at him and accidentally ruin my flower pot in the process. 

He opens the door anyway and I say to him, "Where's your girlfriend?"

He rubs the nape of his neck and looks at me, "Vera is not my girlfriend, and she doesn't matter right now, what's wrong? You weren't at breakfast".

I turn off my clay wheel, not even caring to put a wet towel on my clay to make sure it doesn't dry out. I wash my hands off in the basin near the clay wheel and dry my hands with a rag, all the while glaring at him. He walks over towards me with a smirk on his face. His face wasn't made for smirking, it looks odd on such a gentle face.

"Your jealous of me and Vera," He says.

"No, I am not," I say and push past him, walking towards my atrium.

He follows me, persistent as ever, "Your jealous which means you either like me or are overprotective".

He could use either of those against me. Ugh, he's too smart for me. 

"Well, I, um," I start but then someone breaks down the door (literally) and runs into the room. 

It's Vera, she runs up to Magnus and kisses him on the cheek. I was about to throw up and kill her at the same time. Magnus looks at Vera like she is insane, but Vera just smiles at him. He looks uncomfortable, to say the least, so maybe they aren't an item.  

She turns and sees me, "It's cute how you think you can get in the way of our ever budding relationship, you queer fag". (Just writing that word make me want to punch a wall.)

Magnus pushes Vera away from him quickly, anger shown prominently on her face, "Don't you ever call her that again! Plus I am not yours in any way!"

I walked up to Vera and smiled at her sweetly, then promptly punched her in the face. I am pretty sure she died, I look at her unconscious body on the ground. Magnus smiles at me, his smile that could make the entire world give peace and happiness. His smile that radiates warmth and glows just as much as he does. 

"So you were jealous," He says finally after we had a staring contest into each other's eyes for a few minutes. 

"Yeah," I say and look at Vera, "She just always had your attention".

"She's a rune-caster, she put a rune on me so I always was focused on her, it just doesn't work if you love someone else more or if they are dead," Magnus says.

"So which of the two is it?" I ask and find his eyes, "Are you in love, or is it just because she is dead?"

"I'm in love," He says and steps closer to me, blushing slightly, and fumbling with his hands.

"Me too," I say and take a step closer to him so that we are centimeters apart.

I feel his soft breath on my skin as he looks down on me (I'm slightly shorter than him). He was smiling, I was smiling, and I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to kiss him and love him, I wanted to be his girlfriend. I wanted to make sure he was mine, I wanted to be his. I didn't know if he would make the first move, I didn't even know if I was the one he said he loved. All I knew was that he was so close and so handsome, and I had to kiss him. He looked nervous, embarrassed even, probably because he never kissed anyone before. Or maybe it's just because he really doesn't like me and he is talking about someone else. Maybe that is true, but even if it isn't, I am going to kiss him. So I do. Our tounges intertwine and we kiss. Our kiss is long and sweet, passionate and smooth, I've never had a kiss like it. It felt as if everything good in the world combined itself to make Magnus and his amazing kisses. I am so lucky he is now mine.
