Alec returned from a patrol early in the morning and found Magnus sleeping on the couch, a book on his lap. He smiled softly, realizing he had fallen asleep waiting for him. He moved closer and gently touched his shoulder, leaning close to whisper. "Magnus? Wake up… You'll catch a cold, let's go to bed…"
The Warlock opened his eyes disorientated for a moment, and then saw him and gasped, wrapping his arms around him, hugging him desperately. "Alec…"
"Hey…" Alec whispered softly petting his hair "What's wrong baby?" he used the pet name to make him relax "Did you have a nightmare?"
"I love you…" Magnus whispered in a choked out voice, instead of an answer, hugging him tighter. "I adore you… You are the most precious thing in my life… You do know that, right? I need you to know that… Please tell me you do…" He begged.
Alec felt his heart beat faster. He did know, but hearing him say it, made him extremely happy. He softly kissed his temple, holding him close. "I know… Don't be afraid… And you are mine… I love you… I love you so much… More than anything…" he muttered in his ear and felt him relax a little in his arms.
"I'm… glad…" Magnus said, drifting off again "I love you…"
Alec smiled and kissed his forehead. He was already sleeping soundly. "Guess we're sleeping on the couch then…" He took his jacket off covering the Warlock with it and then hugged him to his chest drifting off too, a smile on his face.
