Magnus was trying to best to spend time with each of his friends when he didn’t have a shoot or wasn’t preparing for a shoot and Will was one that he hadn’t seen in awhile. Izzy and Jace he saw when he spent the night at the Institute and Tessa was easy cause he could go by the bookstore, but Will and Jem were a little more difficult to get together with and he wanted to remedy that. He’d originally planned on meeting up with the two Shadowhunters for lunch, but Jem had had to work so Magnus had suggested that he and Will still have lunch and they could all get together another time when Jem wasn’t working.
So when the day came, Magnus got to the restaurant first and was led to a table to wait for Will.
Will found he’d missed Magnus, in the dreams he was an advisor as well as a friend and if Will was to confide in anybody it would be him. The dreams were taking their toll on him but he refused to let Jem or Tessa see it. After all Jem had enough to be dealing with and Tessa, well, he just wouldn’t.
Entering the restaurant he saw Magnus and waved before heading over, “It’s good to see you. How have you been?”
Magnus smiled when he saw Will and waved back as the Shadowhunter got closer, “I’ve been well. And yourself?” He asked once Will had taken a seat, “How’re Jem and Tessa?” He’d seen Tessa fairly recently, but that didn’t mean that something couldn’t have happened since then.
"Oh you know I'm always amazing" Will said casually with a shrug, "They're wonderful. Tessa is fairly busy with the shop and Jem is studying hard" he was proud of both the special people in his life.
It was obvious, when Will talked about Tessa and Jem, just how much the Shadowhunter loved them and it made him smile. In the dreams, Magnus had seen the love triangle a mile away and didn’t know how they all hadn’t been aware of it, but Will was a rather good actor and all he wanted was for Jem to be happy, so he supposed that was part of it, “I’m happy to hear it. I stopped in to see Tessa not too long ago actually. The shop appears to be doing well.”
He loved them completely and utterly, he was devoted. The dreams were hard, the Will in them was carrying so much inside that he wasn’t sharing with them and hurting those around him by doing so. It was hard for Will sometimes, knowing that it was all for nothing - that the curse wasn’t true. “It’s doing wonderfully. She’s looking into taking on new staff soon, so she can have a little time to herself which I have to say I am a fan of”
Magnus chuckled, “You mean, so she can spend more time with you and Jem, right?” He was glad that his friends were all happy and aside from Jem’s illness, things appeared to be going well for the three of them, “And how are things with the dreams?” Magnus wasn’t entirely sure where Will was with his dreams. Jem posted about his on occasion, but Will and Tessa didn’t post much on theirs.
Will grinned, “Exactly what I mean” he said, because let’s face it the three of them were never happier than when they were all together. Jem seemed to be doing well lately and Will hoped it was a result of him being happy and content with their lives. At the mention of the dreams Will’s smile dropped a little, “They’re still happening. Don’t suppose you know a spell to stop that do you?” he half joked.
Magnus shook his head, “I’m afraid I don’t.” At that moment a waitress showed up to give them menus and take their drink order now that Will had arrived. Once she left, Magnus glanced back at Will over his menu, “Is there anything, dream related, that you want to talk about?” Magnus had already experienced the dreams that Will was currently having so if anyone knew what was going on, it was Magnus.
“Not really” Will said with a shrug before sighing and looking up from his menu, “I mean they’re just dreams, talking about them won’t change them. I just, it’s frustrating you know. It’s ridiculous really the amount that dream me loves Jem and Tessa and Charlotte and Henry but he has to hide it all the time, tell himself he doesn’t feel all that. It gets...tiring”
Magnus could understand what Will was saying, because he'd seen it first hand in the dreams. He'd had Will come to him, wanting him to summon the demon who had supposedly cursed him. He knew how much of an act Will put on sometimes when he felt that he needed to, "I'm assuming we haven't had the encounter with that particular demon yet."
Will shook his head, “Not yet. It’s hard, knowing it’s all a lie and having to dream it all with him not knowing. It’s painful. And I don’t imagine it’s going to get any easier even when he does find out” because they weren’t that kind to him.
Magnus shook his head in response to that, “I’m afraid not.” Magnus did feel like Will got the short end of the stick a lot, in the dreams, but he did get the girl in the end, so there was that. “Do you wish I hadn’t told you that there was no curse?” He couldn’t help but wonder if Will ever regretted the fact that Magnus had told him about the curse back when Will had first mentioned it.
Will suspected as much but when Magnus next spoke his eyes shot to the other man’s face, “No, not at all. I’m grateful you did. Truly Magnus. It’s just hard sometimes that’s all but I don’t regret you telling me for a minute”
“I had to check.” Magnus was quite a ways ahead of Will, Jem and Tessa so there was a lot he could tell them if they wanted to know, but that wasn’t always the best way to go, “But I know what you mean. The first thing Alexander dreamt was us breaking up. That hasn’t happened yet and while I can’t imagine it happening, my more recent dreams make me wonder about the reason.”
“They can be bloody frustrating” Will sighed, “But things with you and Alec here are good right?” He didn’t know much about the other shadowhunters but he’d met them a few times and knew they were good people. Alec was nice and he was obviously deeply in love with Magnus.
Magnus nodded, “They’re very good. He gets jealous sometimes, but that’s normal with most people, I think.” He knew that Alec was insecure sometimes, but he tried everything he could to assure him that there was no reason for him to feel that way, because Magnus only had eyes for him. Most recently he’d had to assure him that nothing had ever happened between himself and Will and explained exactly why Camille had referenced Will when talking about Alec. However, Will clearly wasn’t there yet, so telling him that him and Alec were related, in the dreams, wouldn’t make any sense.
Will nodded, “I think so” he agreed, and he had no doubt Magnus was reassuring him that he was the only one. Just as Will would have with Jem or Tessa should the need arise, though their situation was somewhat different.
“So, I’ll admit though, I am curious as to where you are in the dreams.” Magnus couldn’t help it; there were only so many people that he could talk about these particular dreams with who had lived them and if he were completely honest, he was waiting till Will got to the part in the cave cause he’d found that particularly amusing. Will and Tessa might not have, but Magnus had.
“Oh well actually last night I had a dream about taking the tooth of the demon to you but I woke up when I passed out” which, he realised, was a very strange sentence.
“Oh yes, you looked quite a mess then, if I remember correctly.” Magnus couldn’t help but smirk slightly as he recalled Camille coming home not long after Will’s arrival, “You made quite a mess of the room as well.”
"Ah sorry about that" Will said with a wry smile, "I hope nothing was ruined beyond your fixing capabilities"
Magnus shrugged, “I didn’t mind. I’m not the one who ended up cleaning it up.” He wasn’t about to spill the beans on the act he’d put on with Will upon Camille’s return, because that would just be ruining the fun cause he was sure that Will would contact him when he dreamt of that and Magnus would attempt to wait patiently for it.
"Oh, Well good. I'm sure I'll dream the rest soon. They're coming fairly regularly at the moment" Will said having no idea of what was to come. There would definitely be a message to Magnus in the future though.
