So just take it as it comes? You don't have to do anything momentous or dramatic to be happy. Just be with him. Talk. Be happy. See where things go.

[ you don't have to do anything momentous or dramatic to be happy, says odin dark, scion of heroes, crusher of the seven evils, galvanizer of an ancient, draconic demise. ]

[fehus]

[ ... ]

i messed up

[shadowglitter]

That's okay.
Messing up is okay. You're smart and you're strong and you're kind enough to recover from any messing up you might do.

[ to peter, who he's still in the process of potentially kicking, leg half-raised: ]

If I say something dumb, I want you to literally kill me. Messing this up would be an unforgivable mistake. There's no coming back from any fuck ups I might pull here.

[fehus]

i told him it was my first one and kind of a big deal

[is that honesty? he'd thought it was honesty, it had come so easily at the time. but maybe that was momentous and dramatic instead? gods. shitting norns!]

that's why i said not it? i didn't want to fuck it up bc it was important to me not to fuck i t up

[shadowglitter]

Oh. What? You didn't fuck up.
Not every date has to be big and meaningful, yeah, but not every date has to be chill and relaxing, either.
You're going to be happy just spending a night alone with him, right? Holding hands, smooching a lot, telling each other you like one another. Keeping your hands above each other's belts, because you'll have time for that when you're 21.
You're going on a date with someone special! You're allowed to want your first date with them to be special. He's allowed to want to give you that, too.
There's no pressure here, man. For either of you.
If he's doing something big and exciting, it's because he wants to do something big and exciting. Because he likes you.

1/2

[he doesn't know how many different ways Odin has to say it (or how similarly it has to sound to something his mom would have said -- he won't look too deeply at that) before Magnus finally -- gets it. dating can be whatever he, they want; that just because it's all new and so very frazzled up inside him, doesn't mean it won't be special. that he can't have special, with the boy he thinks is more special than anyone]

[the only pressure is what Magnus is putting on himself (breathe, Pumpkin). he's going to have fun tonight, like he always does, because he always has fun with Ronan, and they'll work all the new changes to their dynamic together. because they like each other]

[thanks, he wants to write, and maybe something more, about family and, friendship and -- ]

[fehus]

wait what was that about being 21

[shadowglitter]

[ and odin panic-kicks peter, finally. just smacks him in the face with the back of his foot. groans and caterpillars his way up to lay on top of him, head on peter's chest. he's emotional and he doesn't know what to do with that energy so he just idly sets his teeth against peters collarbone and makes a loud, humming noise of complaint. one that transforms into a very angry hhhhhhhhgggggggaaaaaaaaaaah as he puts his phone behind peter's shoulder and types over the top of it. ]

Don't

Bone

1/2

[fehus]

[Magnus bursts out laughing. after all that -- after the somersaults his feelings have been doing in his chest, it's weirdly the perfect advice to end on (some comic relief after the buzzing out of his skin he's been doing, since basically the moment Ronan left his house this morning)]

ok

2/3 I lied

[fehus]

not @ the "don't bone" or 21 belt rule

[he's not commenting further on that. please,, he can't even think about it in the light of day or within a square mile of another human (or non-human) being. he had to stop them at hickies, last night/this morning, when he thought he might start literally evaporating up into the sun]

ok at your advice. you're right about all of it. it's going to be special b/c we'll be together. and you were right to ask about pressure. i'm the one doing all the peer pressure bullshit to myself.

[fehus]

after my mom died, i didn't think i'd have someone to talk to about stuff like this. like, who could help me when it was hard or i didn't know what i was doing or felt like i was too broken.

thank you for saying stuff my mom would have wanted somebody to say to me. and for getting me to take a stupid breath.

[shadowglitter]

[ odin's - moved. he's still on top of peter, kind of dropping his weight against him and settling in whether he wants an Odin Blanket or not. for a moment he doesn't know what to say? he'd always seen his mom and dad in magnus so it's kind of nice to feel like maybe he's the one stepping up and doing good. he knows peter helped magnus during the wolf attack and with a shared urge to look out for someone new in their lives it feels more and more like he's settling into his sort-of-but-not-really married life with peter by being a reliable adult. he hopes he can keep it up. ]

It's okay. I love you. We both love you.
I know this doesn't really need to be said, but you should feel comfortable coming to us about anything you need. We've both been through a lot. Seen a lot.
Peter's the most reliable and admirable man I've ever met and I think I'm pretty OK at advice sometimes? So. You can't get much better than that.

The bottom line of all of my advice is just that I want you to remember it's okay to be happy. You're not a burden.
To anyone. Least of all your boyfriend.

[quickfingers]

Y- You're crushing me.

[shadowglitter]

[ finger to lips ]

Shhhhhh.

[quickfingers]

[Wheezing:] It hurts.

... Your b-body made of muscle is too much for my fragile form to bear.

[shadowglitter]

no fucking though

[ rolls harder over peter, elbows in ribs and knees in sides. ]

Back me up on that.

[quickfingers]

No fucking unless you feel emotionally and physically capable.

[fehus]

[he's laughing again, his head in his hands. his face and chest feel hot, like there's August summer bursting out of his skin]

[quickfingers]

considering you are SON OF BONER GOD(??) i'm legally required to tell you to wrap your willy at EVERY opportunity

[fehus]
