A/N: rated M because I'm overly cautious and because I planed to write a sex scene but chickened out last minute. This was meant to be a oneshot but when I finished I thought of a complementing chapter which I'm debating. Maybe if this one goes well I will( maybe by then I'll muster the courage to tackle a sex scene).
Disclaimer: I don't own the mortal Instruments but if I did I would include a lot more Alec/Magnus goodness.
Alec lounged comfortably on the plush pink couch, his feet locked at the ankles on the table in front of him. Alec stood out remarkably in the room, his dark attire made him look like a stain in the dazzling environment. He was a contradiction yet he always felt perfectly at ease in the colorful Brooklyn apartment. His eyes fluttered open when he heard Magnus's amused laugh next to him, apparently one of the models on Project Runway had stumbled over a ridiculously long train on her dress. Magnus took notice of his movement and shut the T.V off with a flick of his wrist as he turned to face him.
"Did I wake you?" he asked.
"I didn't really mean to fall asleep it's just that I don't understand these mundane programs." he replied.
Magnus chuckled "There's really no plot to understand it's just for amusement." He leaned across the couch and pulled his young lover towards him so that his back was now resting on his chest and began to message the broad shoulders. "Would you like some wine?" he whispered into the dark hair below him. Alec nodded his refusal and Magnus conjured a single goblet decorated in turquoise mosaic glass which reflected the flickering light of the candlelit room in waves of blue. Alec chuckled softly below him and Magnus looked at him quizzically.
"The glass looks like you" he responded to the silent question, Magnus looked at glass in his hand then back at Alec who had slumped down to rest his head on Magnus's lap.
"What dazzling?" he asked, his golden cat eyes glowing to emphasize his point. Alec smirked and reached out to lay his hand on Magnus's check.
"NO. Beautiful" he replied firmly, his blue eyes locking on the golden slits. Magnus sucked in a breath and blushed heavily. Ever since they had returned from Alicante Alec had taken on a slightly different personality. He was now more open to Magnus and their relationship. Whereas before the high warlock was mindful of every action or word he relayed to the young shadowhunter, fearful that if he moved to fast he would push the boy away. Magnus now found that now their roles had reversed, he was constantly caught off guard by the sudden displays of affection Alec would show him.
Alec smiled broadly and trailed his hand behind the warlocks' neck, pulling his head down to meet his lips. It was a slow and gentle kiss.
"Mmmm that was sweet" Alec said once Magnus pulled up from their kiss. Magnus turned two shades redder and took a large drink of wine to steady his nerves while Alec watched him silently.
"Can I have that glass?" he asked as he sat up and faced Magnus.
"I can get you a glass" he replied as he raised his free hand. Alec caught his sparkling hand and brought it back down to his side.
"No, I want that glass, once you're done of course." Magnus looked at him blankly.
"Sure, but why this one I can get you any glass you want?" he said with a soft chuckle.
"I told you that one reminds me of you" Alec took the glass from Magnus and took a drink of the velvet liquid before he set it down on the table and gave Magnus another soft kiss on the lips. "AND" he continued "every time I miss you I can just bring that glass to my lips and taste how sweet and intoxicating you are." Magnus let out a soft moan
"Shadowhunter you are driving me crazy" he mumbled under his breath. Alec pulled one of his legs over Magnus so that he was now straddling his lap. He leaned into him and captured his lips forcefully, allowing his right hand to entangle itself in the glitter filled hair while his left hand trailed the violet silk on Magnus's chest. Magnus, not willing to be left behind, grabbed hold of Alec by the waist and pulled him closer, his fingers playing with the smooth skin at the hem of the thick sweater. Alec pulled Magnus's head back by the roots of his hair so that he could gain access to the warlocks' neck. His tongue flicking across the strained veins as his teeth nibbled and dragged against the skin.
"Alec…" Magnus moaned huskily with his head thrown back over the head of the couch. The gem decorated his hands now traveled freely under the boys' sweater, his fingers caressing the well toned muscles on his chest. When Alec heard his name escape from the moist lips, felt his name reverberate against his mouth through his lovers tantalizing neck he shivered in anticipation. He leaned forward so that he could recapture Magnus's lips at the head of the couch, his fingers franticly feeling for the buttons of his silk shirt. He pulled back from their kiss, feeling the pain of their separation; he pulled his sweater over his head and flung it onto a nearby chair. Alec desperately began to trail kisses along the strawberry scented chest, only stopping to pay special attention to the rosy buds of skin. His teeth grating gently against the pink buds one moment to have his tongue smooth over them the next. Above him he could hear Magnus trying to say something in between whimpers and moans but the words where incoherent or Alec was too lost in his own desire to understand speech, touch now dominated his vocabulary. He relished in the warmth of their bodies pressed together, the addictive scent of his lover governing his senses, controlling his thoughts. Alec's hands wandered down to the large studded belt buckle that flared the initials M.B in neon pink.
"By the angel, MUST you always be so flamboyant" he muttered angrily against his lover's collarbone as he struggled with the obtrusive belt buckle. Magnus's hands left Alec's back and while one moved to join Alec's hands at his waist the other pushed firmly against his chest. Magnus grabbed Alec's struggling hands and steadied them. When Alec realized that Magnus wasn't going to help him remove the cursed belt he grabbed his lovers hand and placed it on his crotch so that it cupped his throbbing erection. Alec wanted Magnus to feel the heat and demand of his lust; make him understand his urgency, his desperation to remove the fucking belt.
Magnus gasped when he felt Alec in his hand and pushed harder against the boy's chest.
"Alec stop." He commanded but the boy only pushed himself harder against the resisting palm "Alec stop we can't do this" Magnus said once more.
"Uggh.. I didn't mean it, I love that you're so…Colorful and I would love the belt if it wasn't in the way" Alec pleaded with a shaky breath as he looked into Magnus's eyes. Magnus blinked a couple of times in confusion before responding.
"No Alec this is not about my clothes" he said as he tried to steady the boy on his lap.
"Then what is Magnus" he pleaded once more as his hypnotically blue eyes locked onto the twinkle of the golden slits, his fingers gingerly brushing against the kiss marked chest. Magnus had to fight to not give into the touch, fight to not drown in the lusty blue.
"Alec, I know this is all still new for you and I want to make sure you're ready. We don't have to rush into anything" he whispered as he stroked the muscles on Alec's arms.
"YOUR worried about ME" he laughed "trust me Magnus I'm ready… I want you so bad" he cooed as he tried to reconnect their lips but Magnus held him at bay.
"Oh I can tell you want me and I'm flattered really" he chuckled as he gazed down at the huge bulge pushing against the dark jeans, causing Alec to blush "but again that's not what I'm talking about" he continued, all seriousness returning to his voice. "You being ready and you being horny are not the same thing" Alec opened his mouth to protest but Magnus gave him a look that warned against interruption. "I need you to really think about this Alec and really be ready because I honestly couldn't take it if you woke up tomorrow and regretted it" he finished. Alec stood quite for a while as he let Magnus's words sink in before he finally replied. He brought his hand up to cup Magnus's check.
"I saw you" he said in a low honest voice "I know I'm ready because I saw you. When Clary showed everyone what she could do, when she showed everyone the person they loved most, I saw YOU." He let his hand trace the curves of Magnus's face as he continued. "I love you Magnus Bane and I could NEVER regret being with you, I need you in my life you're a part of me now" he lowered his forehead against Magnus's so that their faces were centimeters apart. "If you think we are moving too fast then I respect that. We don't have to go any further but don't doubt my feelings for you because they are as real and constant as my heart beats" he said as he placed Magnus's palm over his heart. He sighed and carried his leg over so that he was no longer straddling the semi-clad warlock.
"So maybe you can try explaining this Project Railway thing to me again" he said lightly as he reached for the remote and settled into the well cushioned couch.
"Its Project Runway" he said with a grin. "Honestly though it's not worth your time" Magnus stood from the couch and stuck out his hand for Alec to grab. "I know of something a lot more entertaining we could do in the bedroom" he said in a purr as he winked at the flabbergasted shadowhunter. Alec practically flew from his seat as he stood to follow the strutting warlock to the upstairs bedroom.
