( Even when the majority of people around Alec didn’t understand him, Magnus did. It was like he could read Alec’s mind and finish his thoughts even when he was at a loss for words. )
Yeah, just like magic. ( He chuckles, still a little breathless. When Magnus settles against him, Alec tightens his arm around him and tugs him closer already missing the proximity from just a few minutes ago. He wishes they could always exist like this, in this little bubble where the rest of the world doesn’t exist and it’s just the two of them. )
Please. I’m hardly amazing. Not compared to you. ( He’s playing. Mostly. But underneath his light and playful tone there is a hint of the truth. He’s not fishing for compliments. Alec is a man of few words so when he speaks he says what he means. Magnus is the most incredible, amazing man he’s ever met for so many reasons. It’s just a simple truth he believes wholeheartedly. )
But... ( He adds, before Magnus can argue, fingers tracing slow, lazy circles on Magnus’ shoulder. Magnus is pressed close, tucked perfectly against Alec’s side, legs tangled on the sheets and Alec thinks maybe they were made for each other. )
I couldn't, Alexander. ( he shakes his head against alec's shoulder. his fingers draw patterns on his chest. )
Your heart is always in the right place. ( it's part of why he loves alec so much. he's never met a shadowhunter like alec and never met anyone like alec. someone so dedicated to his work, so earnest, so eager to have everyone around him safe and taken care of. so ready to take on the responsibility for the safety and well being of others.
and someone who accepts him as he is. loves him so entirely for who he is. someone that makes magnus feel safe enough to tear all his walls down and does the same in return. when they're in private, together, it's like they're in a world of their own, but in that space they're both who they are at the core, stripped of everything else. )

I hope you never think less of me.
