Chapter 1
"How many of these sweaters do you have?" Magnus Bane asked. He lifted one of the sweaters up in the air to inspect it and then made a repulsed face at the material.
"They aren't that bad," Alec Lightwood snatched it out of his hand and reached for one of the hangers on the bed. He looked into the closet uncertainly and then back at his boyfriend.
"Yes darling?" Magnus gracefully lifted an eyebrow after noticing the look his Alexander was giving him.
"Is there any space in the closet for my stuff?" Alec asked.
"What are you talking about?" Magnus asked and walked over towards the closet. He gestured towards a spot in the closet and then turned to face his boyfriend. "I emptied this spot for you."
"That's it?" Alec widened his eyes. "That's all the space you left me?"
"Have you seen my style?" Magnus asked, gesturing up and down his body. He was wearing black leather pants that seemed to have a glitter tint to him. He had on a red long sleeved shirt with a black vest buttoned up over it. The whole vest was covered with glitter. "I like to have choices."
"Is the glitter from your shirts going to rub off on mine?" Alec asked, uncertainty filling his voice.
"It may add life to these plain sweaters you wear," Magnus said and then saw Alec roll his eyes in return.
"You love my sweaters," Alec insisted.
"No my dear," Magnus shook his head. "I love you. I tolerate the sweaters because of the man wearing them."
"Fine," Alec relented and then smirked. "I love you too by the way."
"Let me go prepare dinner while you finish unpacking. I want to celebrate us moving in together the right way," Magnus said. He walked over and kissed Alec on the cheek before leaving what was now their bedroom.
"Actually cook, Magnus! Don't steal again!" Alec called after him. He could hear Magnus's laughter floating throughout the apartment and he shook his head to himself. He knew that their dinner was probably going to be stolen from a local restaurant. Cooking was not Magnus's thing and he was probably not even going to try to make something.
. . . . .
"That was delicious," Alec said before he rested his hands on his stomach. "I am so full."
"See, I told you I could cook," Magnus said. He handed Alec a martini before joining him on the couch with his own martini in hand.
"Did you actually make that on your own?" Alec asked, raising a questioning eyebrow. Magnus had claimed to make their dinner on his own and clean the kitchen before he even finished unpacking. He decided to take his word and avoid a fight on their first night together.
"Have I ever lied to you before, my dear?" Magnus asked. He sipped his martini and reached out to grab Alec's hand.
"Living together is going to be a good thing, right?" Alec asked. Magnus looked over after hearing the vulnerability in his boyfriend's tone and gave his hand a comforting squeeze.
"Are you having second thoughts?" Magnus asked, concern starting to fill his body.
"No not at all," Alec shook his head. He placed his martini on the table in front of him and then moved closer to Magnus on the couch. "There is nothing I want more in the world than to start our life together and live with you. This is the best decision I have ever made."
"Then what's got you so worried, Alexander?" Magnus asked. He could see that something was clearly troubling him.
"What if you get tired of me after being with me every day?" Alec asked. He sighed and looked down. He hated being vulnerable. He hated sharing his feelings and emotions with other people. Magnus was different though. Magnus never judged him for what he was feeling. Magnus genuinely cared about what he was feeling and always wanted to help him through whatever he was going through.
"Alexander," Magnus shook his head. He too placed his martini on the table and then fully turned to face his boyfriend. He grabbed his hands in his own and looked deeply into his eyes. "There is no way I would ever get tired of you. I love spending every second with you. It's probably unhealthy how much I want to spend every second with you but I do not care. I want us to build our future together and this is only the beginning."
"I love you Magnus," Alec said.
Magnus tugged on Alec's hands and pulled him closer to him. Their lips connected instantly and they both felt the spark the moment their lips touched. They were drawn to each other and could feel the connection deep in their hearts. They knew their love was the kind of love that did not come around very often. It was the type of love that when you found it, you held on to it tight. You made sure to do whatever you could to keep the love strong and alive.
"I love you too, my dear Alexander," Magnus mumbled against Alec's lips. Alec closed the gap between them again and wrapped his arms around his shoulders. He would never get tired of kissing Magnus, and vice versa.
. . . . .
"I lied to you by the way," Magnus said. Alec looked up from where his head was resting on Magnus's shoulder and raised an eyebrow.
"What did you lie to me about?" Alec asked. He moved back slightly and propped his head in his hand, resting his elbow on his pillow. Magnus mimicked his actions and smiled shyly.
"Remember how I told you I cooked that delicious dinner before?" Magnus asked.
"Magnus!" Alec widened his eyes and shook his head. "Did you steal it from a restaurant again?"
"You call it stealing," Magnus shrugged and then smiled teasingly. "I call it take out."
"Well did you pay for it?" Alec asked. "Because when you get take out, you usually have to pay for it."
"You worry too much my dear," Magnus reached out and ran a hand down Alec's cheek.
"How about you let me take care of dinners from now on?" Alec suggested.
"As long as I get to prepare dinner beverages," Magnus said.
"Deal," Alec agreed. Magnus tugged him closer and kissed Alec on the lips.
"I love you Alexander," Magnus said.
"I love you too Magnus," Alec said before kissing him again.
Both Alec and Magnus knew that moving in together was going to be a big step. They already spent all their time together and Alec pretty much lived at the loft already. So far, the two of them were happy with their new arrangement. They knew that this was going to be great. They knew that living together was only the beginning for them. They were ready to see where this next chapter in their lives took them.
