( it's not the wrong thing to say, but magnus feels an ache for the response anyway. for alec specifically, for shadowhunter kind. no one should have to feel obliged to set aside their own life for honor. their happiness.
at least, he hopes being here often makes alec happy. he tries to achieve that. )
You're a good everything no matter where you spend your time, Alexander. ( it feels important to say. alec is all those things no matter whether he's at the institute 24/7 or takes a couple of nights away to be with his boyfriend. greedily, magnus wishes that was every night. he squeezes alec's hand and breathes in. ) It's okay for you to have downtime where you feel comfortable. I hope I've made the loft be one of those places.
