Jared nodded as she told her to continue with what they had planned. He could feel a sadness as they let go of each, separating to do go to their candles. One thing they had learned practicing together is that Jared would feel could when she embraced her magic and when Jared felt it, both of them outstretched a hand towards the other palm upraised, Jared his left and Emily her right. Jared seized his magic, and counted. Together, they summoned a ball of fire that floated above each of their hands and turned to light their candles before extinguishing it.
It wasn't showy. That hadn't been the point. The point had been show a romantic gesture with their gift, and to reveal this to their friends and family. It was a statement that this is who they were, and they were not ashamed. It had been Emily's idea. That surprised him. She hadn't been reluctant to use her magic before, but after they both learned they could use it, and had started practicing together, she had really embraced who she was. The couple had discussed doing more, but they decided against it. They didn't need to light the reception hall on fire.
They each took their individual candles, walked to the center and lit the larger candle before setting their smaller ones in the stands next to the larger before kissing once and taking their seats. Rachel beamed at her sister and as he sat down, Jeremy leaned over and whispered to Jared. "You never fucking told me you could do that!" Jared laughed and slapped him on the back.
