When Josh wakes up, he yawns and stretches a little before burrowing his face back into the pillow again. It takes him a good few minutes to realize what’s making something at the back of his brain ping -- his yawn wasn’t quite as wide as it usually was.

Fumbling a little to detangle from the blankets, he brings a hand up to his face to find it smooth. No jagged scar, no protruding teeth, just normal skin.

“Jesus fucking shit.”

Unless Felix had to go to work or had to be somewhere else, he was so not a morning person and while he didn’t know what time it actually was, he was pretty sure it was too early. Groaning, he pulled the blanket up over his head, “Unless someone has bloody died, go back to sleep.”

“Wake the fuck up -- “ he shakes at Felix’s shoulder and jabs him a few times in the side for good measure. “I’m back to normal.”

“Oi! What the fu…” Felix could be a bit grumpy when woken up against his will, but as sat up, eyes opening and focusing on Josh, he couldn’t help but stare. “What...how…” Lifting a hand, he cupped Josh’s cheek which was smooth and whole. The glamour that Magnus had performed on Josh didn’t allow for Felix to see his face the way it had been, because he already knew what it looked like as a result of the dreams and even if he couldn’t see through the glamour, he’d still be able to feel the torn skin and scarring, but his fingers slid over smooth skin.

“See?” He’s crying and feels kind of stupid for crying but he’s just so fucking happy that he can be normal again. That when Felix touches his face it doesn’t touch teeth and he turns his head to kiss Felix’s palm. “Is my pretty face worth waking up for or what?”

Felix wiped away Josh’s tears, still trying to believe what he was seeing. “Your face is always worth waking up for, but I won’t lie; I’ve missed this.” While he’d gotten used to what the dreams had done to Josh’s face, seeing it whole again was something he’d secretly hoped he’d see again one day. Leaning in, he claimed Josh’s lips, kissing him deep, his hand remaining on Josh’s cheek.

“I can finally blow you again,” he laughs through his tears and presses his hand over Felix’s. Wanting to keep it there as long as possible. “Fucking Christmas miracle, or something. I don’t know whether to love or hate this place, I swear.”

Felix couldn’t help but laugh at Josh’s statement, shaking his head a little, “Only you would think of that first.” He kissed Josh again, still smiling, “If it’s a Christmas miracle, then it’s the best one I’ve ever witnessed.” There was a small nagging voice in the back of Felix’s mind that told him that this might not be permanent; not if it was an Orange County Christmas miracle, but he decided, for the moment, not to listen to it and deal with it later if it happened.

Josh has that same nagging voice that he’s trying so hard to ignore. That this is too good to be true, that it could all be gone tomorrow. That he doesn’t get to keep good things in his life.

He pushes that voice down and tackles Felix back against the mattress, kissing him again. “Let’s go out dancing tonight to celebrate. Do shots or something, make out on the dance floor. Like really gross PDA that makes everyone jealous.”

“I like the sound of that,” Felix’s arms wrapped around Josh’s waist, one hand sliding down to squeeze his ass. He was already planning to call one of his bouncer friends so they could skip the line instead of waiting out in the snow. “We’ll be the hottest couple there. Not that we aren’t always the hottest.” He grinned up at Josh.

“I’ll even let you do my makeup, how about that?” He laughs at the ass squeeze and wiggles purposefully against Felix. “Sounds like a perfect night out.”
