"So many people don't take us seriously", Alec thought.

Magnus pulled Alec closer as they snuggled on the couch. It was a rainy, drab day, and Alec knew that the best decision that he had ever made was to love Magnus. After all, he was 18 now and he could make his own choices so he didn't need his mother, Maryse, and his father, Robert, to make decisions for him anymore. He can say though, that he was so unnecessarily worried about how they would take it. He could tell thought that they didn't take his relationship too seriously. However, he and Magnus had quickly fallen in love.

He always wondered how someone like Magnus Bane, who always stood out. Glittery, vibrant, full of spunk an attitude, brave, courageous and loving could love someone like plain boring Alec Lightwood. Magnus was a warlock and he was a shadowhunter. It has never before happened, in a way that has been documented. It's totally new, but Mom used to always say that you can't help who you loved. It's never been truer.

He, Alexander Lightwood, had actually given himself away to someone that could actually love him back. He was so totally over Jace, his adopted brother. He would have never loved him anyway. He couldn't. He loved Clary. And Magnus loved Alec. And Alec loved Magnus Bane the High Warlock of Brooklyn.

"Alec," Magnus started,"I think we need to get away. Being a shadow hunter and all, you're always stressed. If we go on vacation, you will definitely relax…and we could really use some alone time. "

"I don't know Magnus…," Alec trailed off.

"Look. I know that you may be worried about pretty boy," Magnus wiggled his fingers and red sparkles flew from the tips, "but he can handle himself. He has Clary to wonder about and we have only been dating for a few months. We both need to get away. We just fought the war and now the Clave is being fixed up…We need to get away from all the magic and mundies and everyone. We need to be alone so our relationship can grow."

"Mag, baby, I think that may be why we need to stay. They may need us! What if-what is something happens and we aren't able to get back in time?" Alec stated, entirely ignoring the mention of Jace. As if he could ever go back to Jace! Jace never loved him in any other way than being his brother? His entire heart belonged to Magnus, and by now he thought Magnus knew that he was his true love forever? Heck! Alec was willing to elope now!

"Alec, you worry too much. I could always make a portal and get us here ASAP. "

"I sure would love for us to get away. Just the two of us right?"

"Hopefully forever." A smile played around the edges of Magnus' mouth.

Magnus, still cuddling Alec, leaned in, and their noses touched. They were eye to eye. Magnus' cat eyes stared longingly into Alec's clear, beautiful, blue ones.

Staying face to face, Magnus whispered, "It's getting late. Are you spending the night, or should I portal you to the institute?"

Less than an inch away from Mag's soft lips, Alec couldn't help himself. His throat burned and his heart ached. All he wanted was to pull Magnus into him and become one with him. He loved his boyfriend with all his heart and this, he thought, will ever go away.

He pressed his lips forcefully against Magnus's and a soft moan escaped from the back of Magnus's throat. Magnus pushed Alec down flat on his back. Alec could feel the springs in the couch against his back. Suddenly, he was glad that he didn't wear his usual, heavy, leathery, shadowhunter bulk. He was glad that he could feel Mag's body heat through his thin shirt and his heart hammering in unison with his. He wanted Magnus now more than ever. It was moments like this that make him wish he could just be normal and live a life out with Magnus. That there were no responsibilities that he had to fulfill.

Their legs were tangled together and Alec had his hangs tangled into Magnus's glittery, spiked hair. Magnus had begun to explore Alec's stomach. His hands moving over his abs, to him back around his rib cage, to the small of his back. It was driving Alec mad.

The kiss slowed. Magnus's lips plump, soft lips, linger on Alec's. Magnus pulled himself up to his elbows, his body still lying on top of Alec's.

"Are you still undecided on us taking that vacation?" Magnus questioned.

Alec chuckled. "I think not. I'm more than ready." Alec smiled and laughed shakily. Being close to Magnus always made him that way.

"We can plan more tomorrow" Magnus said."As for tonight, are you retuning to the institute or not?" Magnus smiled, flashing his white, sparkling teeth.

"I know I should leave-"Alec started his voice a little shaky.

"But I know that you wanna stay." Magnus finished. His tone was superior, almost cocky like he expected this from Alec now. Was he so boring that Magnus now thought of him as predictable?

Magnus stood up and the old made an odd squawking creaky noise. As he moved, glitter fell off of him into the floor. Magnus ran his hands through his hair; more glitter twinkled to the floor. While Magus stretched his long slender arms down toward Alec, who was still lying on his back on the couch, he took a hold of his boyfriend's hands. Magnus pulled Alec off of the couch. Magnus was a taller than Alec. Hand in hand, Magnus silently ushered them into his bedroom.
