" I love you, Magnus." Although Magnus saw this coming and knew his majesty will say it sooner or later especially after coming to the mansion just to bring him back, he still could not help but freeze in his spot for some short moment because his brain and heart stopped working before he can process that the emperor finally has confessed and admitted that he has feeling for him. "What I couldn't hear you?"
The true blood could not help but feel greedy to hear the emperor saying ' I love you' again. The feeling of fireworks starting in his chest right after hearing the emperor's confession was the best feeling that Magnus has ever felt.
With all due respect and love for all the feelings that he felt while kissing and being close to the emperor, they were worth nothing against this moment.
Octavius bit his lip again out of nervousness when he heard Magnus' request before opening his mouth to say it again " I— I love you, Magnus."
