prompt: Magnus teaches Alec how to ride a horse
"Um… I'm taller than you." Magnus laughed.
"Yeah. It's a miracle." Alec shot him a nervous smile.
"What do I do? Do I say something?" He looked past the horse's neck. "Giddeyup?" The horse didn't move. "No. Okay." Magnus laughed again.
"You need to squeeze his sides with your heels. And you're slouching."
"I don't slouch."
"Right now you do. If you sit heavily you'll discourage her and she won't want to move forward."
"Fine by me." Alec mumbled.
"Sit up straight, Alexander." Magnus was smirking. "If you can do anything straight."
"Magnus!" The warlock grinned slapped the horses side, encouraging her to move forward, which she did. "Wha!" Alec made a startled sound that Magnus found surprisingly adorable. He mounted his own horse and sped up to reach his boyfriend.
"You're not balanced."
"How do you know so much about this?"
"There was a time before cars, Alexander."
"Oh. Right." Alec was blushing. He was also tilting dangerously to one side. On instinct he tightened his legs in an attempt to anchor himself and his horse took this as a request to speed up. "Ah! Okay. Um. Help!" The horse was trotting, about to break into a canter.
"Pull back on the reigns!"
"Yeah!" Alec tugged sharply at the rope. The horse stopped abruptly and Alec slid forward, listing dangerously to one side before falling to the ground.
"Alec!" The shadowhunter rolled upon impact and came up in a perfect crouch, not even out of breath. Magnus dismounted from his own horse and ran over to him. "You okay?"
"Balance runes." Alec said, standing and brushing the dirt off his jeans nervously. "I really need to wear balance runes around you." The shadowhunter was an adorable shade of pink. "I swear I'm normally not this clumsy… I mean, a little, but-"
"So this was my fault?" Magnus asked, smiling.
"Well, not specifically, but—" The warlock cut off whatever Alec was about to say by pulling him forward and kissing him. "You're too cute." He said in a serious tone. Then he thought about the way the boys shoulders had moved when he rolled into that crouch. "And sexy." Alec made a startled noise when one of the warlocks wandering hands found its way to his ass.
"Not bad yourself." The boy pulled Magnus in for another kiss. When they finally broke away Magnus ordered Alec back on the horse (this time with a warlock sitting behind him). His arms came around either side of the shadowhunter to grip the reigns, his head occasionally resting on the mans shoulder.
AND THEN THEY RODE OFF INTO THE SUNSET TADAAA
