Y/ns POV
"Louis! Time for bed!" I called as I got out of the shower.
"Okay okay." Louis gave in as he walked into our shared bedroom.
I walked into the bedroom and waved my hair around so it could dry in an instant.
I flicked my fingers to pull the blankets down to get in bed. Louis just rolled his eyes and got in next to me. I cuddled in close to him and flicked my fingers again to cover us up with the blankets I had previously taken off.
"Babe can you lower the lights?" Louis asked sleepily and I turned my hand toward the lights and rotated my hand to dim the lights to a soft glow.
"Want a different color?"
"Blue."
I snapped and the color of the lightbulb changed. There was a soft blue illumination around the room now and it perfectly contrasted from the white moon casting through the window.
The AC started to buzz as I snuggled in closer to my warm boyfriend. I may be magical but I was eternally cold. I could never get quite warm enough for me to be comfortable. I rested my hand on his chest and took a big sigh. He started to rub my back and he looked down at me.
"Can you do the thing?"
I nodded and lifted my hand from his chest to throw a spark from my fingertips. A green figure danced from my hand. Soon dots of purple, pink, blue, and yellow danced out and ran around the green squiggle. Louis loved it when I made different things from my visual magic.
"What would you like?" I asked him softly.
"A unicorn."
I turned the green into white and gave the horse a horn and some gold hooves. The unicorn galloped and it's mane flew in the wind. It jumped and looped back around to a gallop.
"A flower with falling petals."
I made a rose with a wilt in its stem. I put red petals on the flower and started to make some fall off.
Louis reached out to touch the flower but his fingertips went right through the vision.
"It looks so real."
"It is real." I laughed.
"No, like I could grab it, and watch the petals fall of in 3D. It's so crazy."
"How do you think I feel? I'm the one who can actually make it."
"You're amazing babe."
"I know I am."
"So what did you say you were again? I can never remember."
"I'm a pixie. Usually pixies only have one special power but since I was born on a lunar eclipse, I got all of them. Usually powers are assigned by the moon phase you're born under, as the council of the pixies was designated a moon phase. So every pixie born under a certain moon phase must be bestowed a certain gift. It's very rare for a pixie to be born under a lunar eclipse, so when it happens that pixie gets all gifts."
"Can you tell me the story again of the first lunar eclipse pixie?"
"Well, it was a long time ago. About 200 years ago, a pixie born under the lunar eclipse was spotted. Taken to the council, like any pixie would to revive her power, she sat there for an entire day. The council didn't know what to do and what gift to bestow because every fairy had a gift which balanced the other gifts. So giving the pixie just one gift under the eclipse would throw off the balance. The council then saw it only fit to bestow all gifts under a lunar eclipse. As it was very rare, they thought it wouldn't be such a big deal. And it wasn't. Besides the first eclipse pixie, there have only been four others, including me."
"Wow, that's so crazy."
"I know right? If I were born on any other day, I would have just one power."
"But you're so special."
"Yep, and now I can entertain my boyfriend with dancing lights shaped like animals and plants." I joked.
He tickled my side out of revenge and I giggled loudly.
"That's what you get for being rude." He laughed back.
"Okay i take it back!" I shouted as I caught my breath.
"You better."
I just chuckled to myself as I buried my face into his neck. I peppered his neck with kisses and nuzzled my nose into his jaw.
"You smell good." I mumbled.
"Cause that's not at all creepy." He chuckled. I hit his arm but didn't love myself from where I was laying.
"I'm trying to be sweet."
"Well thank you baby. I appreciate the compliment." It was quiet for a minute as he kissed the top of my head for a couple seconds "you smell good too."
"But I'm not wearing anything."
"I know. You just smell like... you and I love that that most."
"But why? I don't smell pleasant."
"Yes you do. You smell sweet. You smell like you."
"Okay but what do I smell like?"
"Like... strawberries and cream. But also a little bit of chocolate and sea salt. Maybe a little bit of clean laundry? I don't know, you just smell... good."
"Hmmm... never thought I'd smell of chocolate and sea salt."
"You also smell a little bit musty and like onions." He joked. I pushed his face away from mine and he apologized.
"Rude! See if I ever ask you a question again!"
"Okay okay. I'm sorry! What do you think I smell like?"
I put my nose back into his neck and breathed in.
"Like... caramel and fresh cut grass. A little bit of motor oil and linen. You have very different smells but very complimenting smells. You smell... homey. Like I could just cuddle close and sleep forever right in your protective arms." I mumbled as I cuddled into him closer. I threw my leg around his and turned on my side. It was quiet but I reached for his hair and started twisting one of his dreads through my fingers.
"Are you ever actually going to go to sleep or are you just gonna play with my hair all night?" He whispered in my ear.
"I'm gonna play with your hair as long as I want." I whispered back in a funny voice and he gave a chuckle from his chest. One of those deep ones that seem to rumble the floor. Not loud, but guttural. Not mean, but just from the strongest part of your body.
"I need to redo them is what I need to do."
"How long have you had them in?"
"A year now."
"That's a long time."
"Should I go for an Afro?" He asked in a whisper.
"Absolutely not. I'd kick you out of my house if you did." I joked, also in a whisper.
A whisper was the tone we used now. Not for any particular reason but it just happened.
"Why? I think I could rock an afro."
"No you couldn't. Stick to the dreads my love."
"Okay okay. I will. But maybe I'll dye them. Or bleach my hair and put them in dreads like that."
"Nope. Not happening. You're keeping your hair just how it is."
"Why not? I think I could do great things to my hair."
"Nope. I will magic your hair back to normal if I have to."
"Damn, I forgot about that part."
He seemed disappointed but it was also really dark so I couldn't fully tell. All I saw was the way his face rippled around his eyebrows and and cheeks.
"Okay do the thing again!! This time I want... a dragon!"
"Okay." I made him a dragon, giving the floating lights a shimmering effect. I turned the dragon to Louis and had it blow fire at his face. The red, orange and yellow shimmer bursted and hit Louis. He scrunched his nose and waited for the shine to be out of his face.
"I got an idea." I smiled.
This one took a little longer to craft. I made sure I got the right colors for the skin tone and the clothes. I made some lights dance around the figures as they started to move.
"That's us." Louis smiled.
"Yep."
"And we are... dancing?"
"Yeah." I smiled happily.
I turned the vision a little bit and figurine Louis kissed figurine me.
Louis placed his hand on my cheek and turned my face toward him. He pressed his lips to mine and my hand dropped the vision. I turned to kiss him more comfortably. The vision fell in sparkles onto the bed and crashed away. They disappeared into thin air and it was now dark in the room. The lights had shut off a little while ago so now it was just the moon shining in. Louis let me go and I looked into his eyes which were glistening from the moonlight.
"I love you my little pixie."
"I love you too Louis."
He pushed some hair and tucked it behind my ear.
"Let's get some sleep. We have a big day tomorrow."
"We aren't doing anything tomorrow." I laughed. He did too but spoke again.
"Every day is a big day, despite what's on the agenda."
I laid back down and cuddled into him for the last time tonight. I placed my head on his chest and listened to his soft heartbeat.
I made a couple thoughts to myself as I laid down that night. How there may be magic in my body that can create light and wind and other things, but there is nothing more magical than the love we share. I couldn't have any better gift, than the gift I was given by Earth. Louis.
