( Alec's thumb is brushing Magnus' knee where his hand still rests and he's distracted for a moment by Magnus' smile and the heat of Magnus' hand on his chest. Magnus must be able to feel Alec's heart pounding now. It feels like it's going to beat right out of his chest. )
I know I'm not--I wish I was better at showing you. But I'll try. ( You make me want to be better is what he doesn't say.
It's not a secret to anyone that knows him that Alec is great with feelings. Putting those feelings into words is even more difficult for him. He isn't one to wear his emotions on his sleeve and before Magnus...he kept a wall up even his own family couldn't tear down. He wants to change, to be better for Magnus. He wants to be someone who deserves Magnus Bane. He knows he's made mistakes...a lot of mistakes and he's afraid he will only make more. Hunting demons, leading the New York Institute, these things came naturally to him. Navigating a relationship was a whole other matter. )
Like I said...we always find our way back to each other.
( he can, and he hopes alec knows his own is doing the same. quite a feat, to have magnus bane's heart racing, and yet alec can accomplish it with a smile, with some honest words, with a kiss or a touch or even a look. he takes magnus' breath away.
it pains him to hear alec be self deprecating. to him, there's nothing about alec he would ask to change. )
We do. You were right about that. ( it's a soft admission. magnus' hand returns to alec's cheek, drawing his eyes to his own. he wants alec to hear what he's saying very well, to know magnus means it and isn't simply appeasing him. that he's telling alec the truth, and is bearing himself a little further to his boyfriend. )
It's not you, Alexander. You're better at showing me than... ( a small laugh ) anyone I've loved. I'm not used to it. ( he hopes to clarify, because he doesn't want alec to think he isn't showing him his love hard enough. it's perfect. even with the mistakes he's made, magnus has never doubted alec's feelings for him. ) You remember, when you told me this was new for you? I said it was for me too. It's never been like this with anyone, but I think that only makes what would normally be idle fears louder. I don't want to lose you. ( a breath. ) I can't lose you.
( Hearing Magnus say that, the sound of his voice, the fear laid bare for Alec to see, it was almost to much. He knew in that moment that he would never stop fighting for this, for them. He knew he would go to the ends of the Earth if that's what it takes.
His hand finds Magnus' where it's resting on his cheek and he squeezes. )
Magnus, look at me. You won't lose me. You and I...this is it. This is all I want. All the other stuff...it doesn't matter. I love you, we can overcome it.
( Maybe he was naive, but Alec feels it down to his core. They love each other, that had to be enough. )
I mean... ( He smiles, devilish and coy. ) I'm no Casanova but I think I can make you pretty happy.
( there's no unease left in magnus whatsoever, only a fondness and love so powerful they feel hot enough to melt his own spine. he could melt into these touches and into alec's eyes, could meld himself to this moment and let the rest of the world pass him by with no regrets.
he know with a certainty that alec is the one for him, too. after so long... after over a century of closing off his heart, he'd found what he always looked for. alec's comment and devilish smile make magnus laugh softly, face crinkling so happily. )
You already do, Alexander. So happy.
( cheekier, conspiratorial. like it's a secret for them alone to know. ) You're far better than Casanova, by the way.
( Alec snorts and shoves Magnus playfully in the chest. )
Better than Casanova? Yeah, okay. Now you’re just trying to butter me up.
( He was secretly pleased with himself that he got Magnus to laugh and by the angel, that sound was music to his ears.
But out of all the words and confessions exchanged tonight, Alec found it hard to believe this one. He knew Magnus had a long...long list of partners and this was Alec’s very first...well everything. He was trying to accept that Magnus had probably had better many, many times. Magnus never made him feel like he wasn’t enough or wasn’t doing it right but it was hard not to wonder... )
( magnus laughed again and caught alec's hand, shaking his head. )
I mean it! ( completely. and his face says as much, open and amused but also very earnest. he brings alec's hand up toward his mouth and kisses the backs of his fingers.
he knows alec is so very new to all of this, but he hopes he knows just how special this is. maybe he should say as much, too, not to butter alec up but to reassure him. the intimacy they share is intense unlike any he's ever known. the fact alone that they can laugh between kisses in their excitement to be with each other is magical, in a sense. )
All the people in my past prove is how special you are. It highlights how good this is. ( he says, squeezing alec's hand in his own and kissing his finger tips, the heel of his palm, the inside of his wrist. )
( Alec can't hold a scowl when Magnus is touching him like that, every press of Magnus' lips sends a shiver down his spine. Alec's still skeptical of course. (I mean Casanova? Come on.) He's not sure he believes what Magnus is saying but he appreciates that he's trying to make him feel better either way.
Alec is watching Magnus intently, watching his lips mark their path from his fingers down to his wrist and he remembers their first night together. Alec remembers Magnus losing control, not being able to keep his warlock mark hidden and he smiles to himself. Maybe he wasn't as inadequate as he thought. But still...there was a lot to compete with. )
( he can tell alec doesn't quite buy it, but that's okay. it's not the first time someone finds his history intimidating. magnus simply wants alec to feel comfortable, safe, and not to worry about these things. alec does everything right, somehow. hits all the buttons, both in the physical intimacy sense and the emotional sense.
but he'll say a little more to make his boyfriend understand just how special this is to him, in spite of his many past experiences.
as if reading his mind: )
It's not a competition, Alexander. ( he's massaging alec's hand now, idly but firmly, taking it in both of his own. ) I have not once thought to compare you to anyone.
( only thought of how rare and incredible alec is.
oh, but he has to be a little cheeky. ) Well, if I have, it was only to think of how amazing it is that no one before has ever been this good in bed with me.
( Alec turns his hand, intertwining Magnus’ fingers with his own. He knew it wasn’t a competition and he wasn’t trying to fish for compliments by any means it was just...something, a doubt, that crept up on him sometimes. He had no experience with these things. He didn’t want Magnus to...get bored.
Maybe the fear of inadequacy was partly because of his family. He always strove to be the best Shadowhunter, the best parabatai, the best brother, the best son....And he heard the whispers behind his back at the Institute as much as Izzy tried to quell them. He knows that choices he made have caused others to think less of him, of his abilities. He knows he let his parents down. It was hard to shake some days but he didn’t regret anything. He would make the same choice every time. How could he possibly be the best leader he could be if he wasn’t true to himself?
He just...didn’t want to let Magnus down too. But he had burdened him enough for one night.
Alec exhales slowly and pulls his eyes from their entwined fingers to Magnus’ face. A tiny, almost imperceptible smirk on his face. )
And here I thought I had a lot more practicing to do.
( alec has had a difficult time finding worth in himself, magnus knows. not only because he's familiar with the effects of being raised as a shadowhunter, or because he understands how one's own sexuality can feel like a failure, but also because he imagines maryse lightwood to not have been the kindest, most loving mother.
not that he knows anything about that. what he does know is that the more nurturing you are, the better the people under your wing.
part of magnus' happiness with alec is seeing this wonderful man grow from the weight of all this and choose himself and learn to be all the great things he can be.
enough that he makes comments like that, that tiny smirk so visible to magnus. he feels another overpowering pang of fondness. he plays along, slightly overdoing his surprise and suggestion. )
Oh, well, if you want to practice... I volunteer. ( cheeky as ever. )
( The comment alone was enough to make his breath catch in his throat. Alec had never been affected by anyone like he was with Magnus. A look, a touch was enough to drive him crazy. Magnus had to know what he did to him but Alec tried to play it off, not that Magnus couldn’t read him like an open book. )
I don’t know...There’s a long line of volunteers just throwing themselves at the opportunity.
( magnus could read him fairly easily, but he didn't intend to be tormenting about it. just playful, as a lot of their moments have been. )
A long line, you say? They might all find themselves in Aruba, suddenly. ( he lets go of alec's hand and moves his fingers in the same way he tends to summon magic to his hand, though none comes. just a little demonstration! goodbye, volunteers who are not him! magnus, of course, looks perfectly innocent. )
Aruba? ( Alec raises an eyebrow in question. ) You’re too nice.
( He laughs as he so rarely does but he finds himself laughing more and more when he’s with Magnus. He reaches out, grasping Magnus’ hand, stopping him mid demonstration. )
I think we can work something out. Maybe something that doesn’t involve you sending people to a tropical island.
( With that he pulls Magnus to him, this couch be damned. It’s awkward but he’s determined and maybe a little overzealous which results in Magnus spilling partway into his lap. Real graceful, Alec. Not that he was complaining by any means. )
( seeing alec laugh like that is such a delight. it makes magnus' heart happy, makes him proud, makes him laugh too. he remembers alec when they'd first met, how serious and stoic he was. he's still that, but there are moments like these, when it's the two of them, and magnus treasures them. )
How about the bottom of the Grand Canyon? The Sahara? ( he's taken on his innocence incarnate tone again, and lets out a soft chuckle when he gets pulled so determinedly and ends up half in alec's lap. )
Eager. ( he teases, readjusting himself so he's actually in alec's lap proper. ) There. Better.
( it's a bit incredible how quickly the thoughts plaguing him moments ago have evaporated. they're re-established that they're choosing each other in spite of the world giving them all these reasons this might be too hard. how could he not be happy? no one's done that for him before, and he's never wanted it so much with anyone. )
I’m always eager when it comes to you. ( He doesn’t mind being teased, not about this, he knows Magnus wouldn’t have it any other way.
Alec’s hands drop to Magnus’ waist, resting firm on his hips, holding him there in Alec’s lap. Magnus’ face is inches away and the sudden close proximity makes it hard to think straight. What were they talking about? Oh right, Alec’s many suitors. The thought was laughable. )
The Sahara? Now we’re talking. I think I can work you into my schedule. ( He teases, mouth curved up mischievously. All thoughts and worries from earlier melted away. All he could think about was now, the weight of Magnus in his lap, anchoring him to this moment, the teasing glint in his boyfriend’s eyes and the overwhelming desire to kiss him senseless. If someone asked him what happiness was he would say it was this moment right here. )
( magnus' hands settle on alec's shoulders for now, thumbs stroking at the fabric. there's a lot of strength in these shoulders, and with every touch magnus hopes to lessen the weight of the burden they've carried for so long.
he thinks it's working, little by little, when alec responds to the playfulness with such ease. it's always been oddly easy, between them. their back and forth feels comfortable, and magnus relishes every exchange. they were both sorely lacking in the happiness they bring to each other's lives. )
I like the sound of that. Eagerness and fitting me into your busy schedule. ( he can kind of tell alec wants to kiss him, and magnus does too, but rather than go for it, teases him a little further by only looking down at his lips, once, twice, another time. ) What's on the agenda for tonight?
( Alec should have known Magnus would tease him back. He always gives as good as he gets. It’s one of the many things Alec loves about him.
He was always amazed how Magnus got him. He seemed to understand Alec like no one ever has. And even after seeing the worst parts of him, Magnus somehow still wants to be with him. He’s never once judged him or asked him to change. Magnus seems to be the only person who doesn’t want Alec to be someone he’s not.
No matter what happens, Magnus would always be the best choice he’s ever made. )
Hmm... ( He gives Magnus’ hips a squeeze. Alec leans in, crowding into Magnus’ space, lips barely brushing. But even that light touch lights a fire under Alec’s skin. )
( it's not even a kiss, but it's enough for magnus' hands to momentarily tighten on alec's shoulders. he hums, as if thoughtful, still playing along. )
Maybe you should consider yourself booked. ( one hand moves to cup alec's neck, his thumb working over the line of his jaw. some of the playfulness fades from his face to be replaced with fond wonder. he often wonders how he got so lucky, or how a man like alec even exists. as handsome as he is, his heart is the most beautiful magnus has ever encountered.
his desire to kiss alec grows enough that he discards the teasing, guiding alec's face at the perfect angle to close the space between their lips and kiss him softly. it always feels incredible, like little fireworks under his skin, like a million butterflies in his stomach, but at the same time like the sea returning to a still calmness rendering it as flat and peaceful as a mirror.
when magnus kisses alec, it's a magic that lights him up and makes him feel at complete peace. )
( Alec sighs, lips parting as he melts into the kiss. HIs hands work their way under Magnus' shirt, fingers splayed against the warm, bare skin of Magnus' abdomen, his sides, his hips. He wants to explore and memorize every inch of him as if they have all the time in the world.
He shifts forward, deepening the kiss and a quiet moan falls unbidden from his lips. He can't even be embarrassed about it because all he can think about is Magnus, the way he feels, the way he tastes. Alec can't get enough.
All he wants to do is make Magnus feel as good as Magnus makes him feel. )
God... ( He's breathless when he breaks the kiss, but just for a moment, just long enough to catch his breath, get his racing pulse under control. ) You are.... ( Amazing? That didn't seem to be enough. Alec can't even finish the thought, he can barely think. )
( alec has such an effect on magnus. it's shocking how powerful every touch becomes, how warm fingers at his skin feel feverishly hot, how the way alec surges into the kiss and deepens it and magnus' breath is knocked right out of him. he doesn't stop kissing him, hand shifting back to tangle in his alec's hear, fingers curling and uncurling there, a repetitive motion as he lets a sound escape him in turn.
it's obvious he's as breathless as alec when they pull away, obvious he's sharing the very same thought. his eyes are golden and shimmery now, and he doesn't even realize, doesn't even think to hide, knows he doesn't need to at all.
fingers find purchase in the fabric over alec's ribs, pulling at his shirt while keeping his eyes on him. there's intensity there, but a lot less of the playfulness. just desire and awe. he wants to touch alec too, skin to skin, nothing in their way. )
Speak for yourself, ( it's a low whisper, and there's a fond smile on his lips before his pushing his hands up along alec's chest slowly and bunching his shirt up on the way. before going further, he kisses alec again, lips parted, aiming to kiss into his mouth so slowly it makes him melt. alec doesn't need words. alec gets it, and feels the same. )
( He chuckles, a low rumble deep in his chest and he's smiling into the kiss. Being with Magnus is so easy especially when everything else in his life seems to be so hard. They can laugh and smile even now and Alec may not have any past relationship experience but he thinks that means something. No matter what the outside world throws at them, this can never be taken away.
Alec's hands slip from under Magnus' shirt to assist in removing his own shirt and he has to break the kiss to get it off. He reluctantly pulls away only long enough to tug the fabric up and over his head, dropping it somewhere on the couch next to them. He's struck again by how breathtaking Magnus is, especially when he's not hiding his Warlock mark and Alec is struck with such overwhelming love for this man again. He trusts Alec enough to not hide who he really is around him anymore. His chest feels tight and he's dizzy with adoration. Alec knows how hard it is for Magnus to let his guard down but Alec thinks Magnus is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, especially like this.
This time when Alec kisses Magnus, it's so slow and sensual it's as if he wants to take him apart with kisses alone. ) Your turn.... ( He breathes, reaching blindly for the hem of Magnus' shirt and tugs. He needs to feel Magnus' skin against his. He wants, no, needs to be closer. )
( magnus' lips quirk into a little smile at the tugging on his shirt, and he presses a brief kiss to alec's lips, then seems caught up just as he pulls away and goes in for another. and a third as his hands take hold of the hem of his shirt, pulling it up. he breaks away to have enough room to pull it over his shoulders and discard it aside, tossing it over his shoulder.
then he's kissing alec again, both hands holding his boyfriend's face, one thumb stroking his cheeks and fingertips of the other hand back in his hair.
it doesn't last long, because his then begin to roam. a palm against the curl of a neck. a light drag of fingernails over a bicep. a finger that stops over the memorized location of a rune and traces it. he can't get enough of this. he doesn't want to think about ever having to, is not thinking about anything right now but the present. that's how he wants their life to be. he wants them to live their here and now to the fullest.
ringed fingers reach lower, this time latching onto alec's belt and giving it a tug, asking for silent permission. )
[ by the way, did you want to play this out? i’m completely fine with whatever you want! i just didn’t want to monopolize your time or do anything you’re uncomfortable with! we can stop anytime or keep playing it out :) ]
[ i got the notif for the tag on my phone and thought i'd message you once i could before tagging back to see if you were wanting to keep it going and then i saw this before i could!! i appreciate this a lot, thank you for checking in ;u; i'm good to keep going, this thread has been great and magnus really wants to love on his boyfriend now after that rollercoaster AND THEY DESERVE IT TBH ]

Alec's hands slip from under Magnus' shirt to assist in removing his own shirt and he has to break the kiss to get it off. He reluctantly pulls away only long enough to tug the fabric up and over his head, dropping it somewhere on the couch next to them. He's struck again by how breathtaking Magnus is, especially when he's not hiding his Warlock mark and Alec is struck with such overwhelming love for this man again. He trusts Alec enough to not hide who he really is around him anymore. His chest feels tight and he's dizzy with adoration. Alec knows how hard it is for Magnus to let his guard down but Alec thinks Magnus is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, especially like this.
This time when Alec kisses Magnus, it's so slow and sensual it's as if he wants to take him apart with kisses alone. ) Your turn.... ( He breathes, reaching blindly for the hem of Magnus' shirt and tugs. He needs to feel Magnus' skin against his. He wants, no, needs to be closer. )

then he's kissing alec again, both hands holding his boyfriend's face, one thumb stroking his cheeks and fingertips of the other hand back in his hair.
it doesn't last long, because his then begin to roam. a palm against the curl of a neck. a light drag of fingernails over a bicep. a finger that stops over the memorized location of a rune and traces it. he can't get enough of this. he doesn't want to think about ever having to, is not thinking about anything right now but the present. that's how he wants their life to be. he wants them to live their here and now to the fullest.
ringed fingers reach lower, this time latching onto alec's belt and giving it a tug, asking for silent permission. )
