Quick A/N:

All of this happened before infinity war and before the ship of the dead.

I do not own any of the MCU or the Magnus Chase books.

Alex(guy) POV:

I am currently on a date with Magnus, if what we're doing is even considered a date. He wanted to take me to Fadlan's falafel, again. We started arguing about where we should go eat an hour ago. so I did the only logical thing someone would do in this situation.

"Magnus, we always eat there, cant you pick a different location for once?)

"No, never! Falafels are my life, I mean, afterlife, you can't take them away from me." Magnus said. I really want to punch him right now.

"Maggie, are you really telling me that some food is more important to you than me?"

I could see him sweat nervously, he knew that one wrong answer could lead to a very painful death.

"Babe, you know I love you way more, but still..."

I eyed him for a second. "Still what?"

He didn't respond.

We went back to talking about our date plans after I punched him and it just started to annoy me. So I did the only logical thing someone would do in this situation.

I gave in.

Sike. You thought I would just listen to what others want, no way I'm ever doing that.

What I actually did was threaten my boyfriend by reaching my hand to my garrote. That scaredy cat started sweating, again, and let me choose where we were going.

Fear always works best to deal with someone bothering you.

So instead of eating falafel, Magnus and I ended up in a pizzeria not far from where we first started to argue. It was very good, but Maggie wouldn't stop complaining about how we could have been eating something better than

As we were going back to Hotel Valhalla, I noticed something weird in the city, something that wasn't there before. I felt watched as if something was following me. It seems Magnus also noticed, wow, he's a little smarter than I thought, I should probably give him a little more credit for that.

Back to the problem, I whispered in Magnus' ear.

"Something's watching us, we should head back as if we didn't notice and make sure to not show where we're going, don't do anything suspicious." I told him and he nodded.

We went to get an ice cream after that at a stand so that it looks like a normal date and went back to the Hotel while making sure to take the longest path to go back and taking a lot of turns.

We want back to our rooms and I sat on my bed thinking about what could have been watching us. Was it a giant or something. I'm not sure, but I'm gonna think about it tomorrow, I want to sleep right now.
