Magnus Chase Oneshots!

Alex's Sad Backstory+Tattoo

Magnus Chase's POV

"Come on Magnus it won't hurt that bad!" Alex whines. 

"Alex, I don't want to get a tattoo alright?" I say to him. 

"But why? Come on! You are a dead soldier! You shouldn't be scared by injecting ink into your skin!" He retorts.

I was currently in a fight (A verbal one) with Alex because he insisted I get a tattoo. I didn't like the overall idea of it at all, I mean you literally are dying your skin forever! It's not like those temporary tattoos you got as a little kid, ones with butterflies and crap on them. These are permanent and only come off with a costly and hurtful treatment. I didn't even know what to get if I decided to get one. What do you get tattooed to you forever? I know Alex has Loki's symbol on his neck to show defiance against his mother, but I don't have anything to defy. I mean I love my mother and my father, even if he did abandon me and my mom. There really is nothing for me to get, and I don't want to do it anyway, but Alex's face, when he begs, is just so pathetic.

"Please Maggie," Alex begs, giving me a puppy dog face, "I'll pay for it!"

"No," I say, "I just don't want to get one".

"You only have to get one, and it could be as small as you want, but still big enough to see it, I just really think you should get one, at least, I have two!" He says and looks me in my eyes.

His one dark brown eye and his light amber eye stare into my soul. It doesn't make me uncomfortable though, he does this a lot to get what he wants. I hold my stance in the argument but realize I have never seen his second tattoo, I didn't even know he had a second tattoo. He was wearing his usual cardigan and pants, nothing out of the ordinary with his outfit, but there was something out of the ordinary with his insistence to get me a tattoo today, right now. 

"You said two, I have only seen the one on the nape of your neck," I say, "Where's your other one?"

"On my back," Is all he says and moves closer towards me.

"Can I see it?" I ask, and then a second later realizing what I asked him to do. 

He laughs slightly, "You want me to take off my shirt so you can see the most private tattoo I have?"

I stutter nervously, "You, um, don't have to if you, um, uh, don't want too, I-uh was just curious". 

Alex Fierro smirks at me and removes his cardigan. He looks at me the whole time while he does it, making me slightly uncomfortable. Let's just say he is totally ripped, more than I am, but not in a super beefy works out all the time kind of way. He didn't seem at all embarrassed about his body and slowly turns around so I can see his tattoo. Oh my gods I am paralyzed with shock that the hottest guy in the nine worlds took off his shirt for me to show a super private tattoo. I have always been attracted to him, but now even more so because I definitely know he trusts me. On his back are a tattoo of four different people, Loki, Alex, and two other people I don't recognize. One of the people I don't know looks slightly like Alex, so I assume that's his father. His father is holding a belt, looking angry, shouting at Alex while standing on the left side of the tattoo. He has a dark red haze around him, probably to show anger. Alex is crying on what looks like the floor, curled up into a ball. The other person I don't recognize is probably her stepmom, who doesn't look like Alex at all, and is ignoring the situation by turning away so that the tattoo only shows the back of her. Her stepmom is in the center of the tattoo surrounded by a blue haze, probably to show her sadness. Then there was Loki of course, standing right next to Alex's stepmom, he is on the right side of the tattoo, and is smirking his infamous smirk. His arms are crossed against his chest and seems to be encouraging Alex's father. Loki is a male in this picture, wearing all red clothing, with a red haze so dark, it almost looked black surrounding him. All four of them seemed to be in a dark abyss, except for the floor they were standing on, which was brick. I was confused, why would Alex want to have his most painful memory on his back? I know he won't tell me straight out, so I'll just do some basic questions about it first.
