Magnus totally beams at him. “Thank you darling.” He strokes his cheek and looks into the camera again. “So before I get distracted by his beautiful face, let’s begin! In front of us we have all my beauty products, so have your way with my face”

Alec snorts at the innuendo. “Let me pretend I didn’t hear that and you watching this video should do the same. Well, okay so im gonna start with the um –“ Alec fumbles a little with all the products until he finds the one he’s looking for “the hydrating crème, right?”

Magnus smiles at him. “nice! Yes, you’ve been paying attention”

Alec puts a little of the product on his finger tips and flushes a light shade of pink before saying, “to you, always”. He starts to apply the cream carefully on Magnus face, distributing it carefully.

“You can apply a little more pressure, you know” Magnus says jokingly.

Alec finishes and looks at him. “I don’t wanna go very hard on you”

Magnus looks like he’s containing a laugh. “That’s what he said”

“Magnus! This is going to be on the internet” Alec says as he flushes a light shade of pink, looking anywhere but the camera and making that private smile, lopsided, the one he seems to make only for Magnus.

“Okay, okay, I’ll try to behave. So, what’s next?”

Alec picks a small bottle from the table. “Um, I believe is the foundation, right?” he ask looking from Magnus face to the bottle.

“I don’t know; you are the one calling the shots today” Magnus winks into the camera knowingly.

“Yeah, right. So the foundation, and I have seen you and Izzy apply it with this sponge so that’s what I’m gonna do”. Alec starts applying it carefully all over his face and blending it with the sponge. After he’s finished, he stares at his face appreciating his work. “I’m think I’m done”

“You think? Is my face we are talking about here, I rather have you sure” Magnus retorts back.

“I know I’m done. Don’t be a smartass.”

Magnus snickers. “So you put foundation on me, what’s next? For the record my screen is turn off so I can’t actually see anything that he’s doing so is going to be a surprise. I’m praying to whatever god who is listening that this turns out fine”

“Of course is going to be fine. It’s not like I’m going to ruin your face or something”

“Who knows”

“Yeah I know” Alec huffs, and goes to pick another product from the table. “So I believe this is called concealer, and you put it under your eyes and on your nose and other places I can’t remember right now –don’t look at me like that, everything is fine I know what I’m doing”

Alec opens the concealer and stares at the camera. “So this looks like a lipstick, and basically I’m going to put it under his eyes. Yeah, I’m gonna do that. Close your eyes” He draws little triangles under Magnus eyes and puts some on his nose. “I’m now I’m picking the sponge and blending it out”

Magnus smiles with his eyes closed still. “He’s even narrating and everything. They grow so fast” He pretends to clean a fake tear.

“Hey!” Alec says, “stop teasing me and moving, you´re gonna ruin my work”. He finishes blending the concealer. “You can open your eyes now. Um, now we –I need to set all these stuff –he shuffles some things around on the table –with powder I think, you –he has lots of powders here” He says looking unimpressed to the camera. “So I am just gonna pick whichever and hope for the best”.

Magnus gasps in mock shock. “Alexander! This is a serious matter. I’m going out to try this makeup later so it better be far more good than hope for the best”.

He laughs as he chooses a powder. “This is a pressed powder that it has color like his skin so I’m just basically applying it all over his face with this fluffy brush over here that I’m pretty sure is for powder. Yeah, imma do that”

Alec moves to apply the product, even dusting the brush after picking too much. Magnus smiles; he has been paying attention to some details. “Now that you’ve done my face, what’s next?” he asks in a low voice, not wanting to disturb the calm atmosphere that has settle between them.

“Next, eyes” Alec says while looking for an eye shadow palette. “This one says Morphe” he shows it to the camera and opens it. “This one has neutral colors and some shimmery ones, I’m gonna pick the gold one because this color it, ums –looks good in your eyes”

Magnus smiles as he watches Alec pick a brush that it’s not for eye shadow, but it’ll do the work. “Close your eyes” he said as he submerged the brush in the shadow and started to spread it on Magnus eye lid.

“How do I know it’s done?”

“I don’t know; you are the makeup artist today”

“You are not being helpful” Alec grumbled under his breath. Magnus giggled a little and slapped his hand on his mouth right after it. Alec looked up and it seems he was trying to contain a laugh.

“Not a comment about that noise. Neither you, person watching this video. Let’s continue” Magnus sat straighter.

“Okay so, close your eyes and let me do the other one”. Magnus did as ask. Alec took his time, putting the shadow carefully. “I believe I’m done with your eyes and I already did your face so I think we’re finished”

“Yeah? You sure?” Magnus asked with a little smirk. “You are not forgetting something?”

“I don’t know! And you don’t want to tell me so this is all I remember at the moment so this will do”

Magnus fully smiled in that moment. “Okay, okay, if you say we’re done, we’re done. Are you happy with the result?” he asked looking at Alec and batting his lashes rather exaggerated. Alec snorted at the action. “Yes, considering the not so helpful circumstances I think I did a good job”

“Me and the lovely people watching the video will be the judge of that. So, I’m gonna look for the mirror…It is here, with a black blanket over it and I’m going to remove it in 3...2…1...”

Magnus removed the blanket and gasped at his reflection. “Alexander! Why didn’t you tell me you were a makeup artist? Look at these” He got closer to the camera. “Look at how he blended that shadow even though he had the wrong brush”

“What? I had the wrong brush?”

“Sshh, I’m making commentary. He put the foundation and concealer very good, I’m giving him nine out of ten in that aspect. Seven out of ten of the shadow because you forgot about using a transition color –don’t worry, I’ll explain you later off camera”

“I’m so confused.” Alec murmured under his breath. “And why are you rating my work?”

Magnus put a finger in front of his mouth. “Silence pupil. Besides that, you also forgot applying mascara on my lashes and doing my eyebrows. Overall, it is really pretty and well done, I’m giving you a mmmm six because of the other details –“

“That’s not even the average of those two numbers –“

“Do I look like I know math Alexander? And sshh and take your six proudly” Magnus tried to give him a stern look but the laugh he was trying to contain gave him away with the laugh lines showing around his eyes and his contented smile.  

“Alright lovely people! Tell us in the comments what did you think of this makeup. Don’t forget to subscribe and like this video and let me know If you guys wanna see more of Alexander on my channel I’m sure I can convince him so let me know If you want that too! Thank you for all the support, see you on the next video, bye!”

Magnus looked at his boyfriend pointedly. “Um, yeah, bye” Alec said a little awkward to the camera.

“I’m Alec, nice to meet you” he said as he slipped his hands into this pockets and shivered a but as he looked up at the sky. “Pretty nasty storm….i didn’t think it was going to rain.” he sighed mostly talking to himself. This Magnus person seemed nice enough, he was certainly nice on the eyes but Alec wasn't big on the whole meeting new people thing. It wasn’t just that he didn't like people, it was also because he was terrible at socializing, especially someone he found attractive. And he found Magnus very attractive. “Yeah if i had know i definitely would not have gone out for a walk to the nice park over 5 blocks from my house.” Magnus replied as he casually leaned the wall of the gazebo lazily, almost cat like in nature. “In Hindsight i probably should have checked the weather…” he then shrugged with a ‘what can you do’ look on his face. 

Magnus eyed Alec cautiously taking all of him in. Alec noticed his eyes staring at some places longer than others though it didn't make him uncomfortable, it was nice in an odd way thinking that maybe Magnus had felt the strange connection Alec had when he first looked at the man, it was like the world was saying ‘this one, look at him, i made you for each other’ though Alec quickly banished any more thoughts like that he had just met this man he didn't know anything about him be didn't even know for sure if he liked men, he had a feeling but he also didn’t care to stereotype no matter how flambouent someone may appear.   “Do you often make the trip to this park? I’ve never really noticed it much, it’s just a park.” Alec said glancing around them. Parks, walks for pleasure he didn't really have experience in either so to him this park was just that a plain older park. Magnus chuckled as he pushed himself of the wall and moved to one of the entrances to the gazebo stretching out one of his hands out feeling the water land on it.

“I suppose it does look like just any old park to most people, but from the first time i stepped in to this park i always had a sense that something big would happen to me here, almost like a magic in the air i suppose.” Magnus lowered his hand shaking off some of the water as he turned back to look at Alec who had been stunned to silence by Magnus, he would never be able to explain it but when Magnus started to speak it was like he was hyperfocused on him. 

Everything else around them disappeared and all that was left was just Magnus, his cool calm voice, and just like that Alec understood. There was an almost magical atmosphere to the park. It took a lot of willpower for Alec to control the sudden and intense urge to kiss the other man.
