Okay, so this is my very first fanfic ever. It's about my favourite couple Magnus and Alec, it turned out to be longer then I expected hehe. Please excuse me if my grammar is not all it ought to be, English is not my native language, I'm working very hard on perfecting it though! =)
I hope you guys enjoy it, comments are always welcome.

Magnus had been wrecking his brain for the past couple of weeks trying to decide what to get Alec. It had to be something special, but none of the gifts Magnus had conjured up in the past 4 years had really been a success except the joint ownership of his apartment for Alec's nineteenth birthday…
The next year he'd gotten him heaps of clothes and products, all of the highest quality and sparkle mind you, Magnus was still trying to make his already stunning boyfriend into a fabulous and sensible gay man like himself, but it was to no avail. Alec wouldn't stop wearing those faded shirts and pants except when he ran out of clean ones. This pained Magnus a great deal of course, but he also loved him for it.
Last year, he'd tried to get Alec a twin-piercing with himself, like a nice nose or septum piercing he'd been thinking about getting anyway. When Magnus brought in the piercer he hadn't thought it would be a problem at all, just fabulous, he was wrong. When he'd explained the presence of the piercer Alec all but fainted, who knew he was terrified of needles? A Greater Demon, sure no problem, but a needle on the other hand…Magnus still hadn't words for that one.
Magnus almost always had at least one magnificent idea (or so he thought), but he'd been coming up blank. Alec wasn't one for the flamboyant existence Magnus was all about. Not that he minded, he loved Alec unlike anything or -one he ever cared about in his very long and immortal life, it just gave him a lot less to go on.
Magnus had even stooped to ask him (several times even, how unimaginative) what he would want for his birthday, but Alec always replied: 'just you' and would smile that gorgeous smile….
'That's it!' Magnus jelled, nearly giving Chairman Meow a heart attack, and jumped up to grab his skilfully glittered purple trench coat and ran out the door, leaving a very startled and confused Chairman behind…
When he returned several hours later with the object he went out to get, but took a long time selecting, always the perfectionist, Alec was waiting for him on the hot pink couch, smiling. 'Where have you been? I was already thinking I should set up a search-party to retrieve you' he held his arms out so he could give his one love a hug and a kiss. 'I am not going to tell you where I went, it would spoil my cunning plan immensely' Magnus said smiling and took Alec up in an embrace they had perfectly synchronized over the years. 'I've missed you' Alec sighed as Magnus began kissing every inch of him while Alec slowly pulled them towards the bedroom, his cunning plan forgotten for the rest of the night.
Waking up beside Alec was something Magnus couldn't get used to, even if he wanted to. Looking at that angelic face so peaceful in the oblivion of sleep, made him feel so at ease, so full of love. He knew every plain of Alec as well as he knew his own, maybe even better, he'd had enough time to learn over the years. He could lie for hours at a time, just watching him sleep, but now wasn't the time.
Magnus kissed both Alec's eyelids which fluttered under his lips as he woke up. 'Good morning love, I hate to disturb your beauty sleep but I couldn't wait any longer to wish you a happy birthday' he said, planting a kiss on Alec's lips. 'Plus, you're 22 now, which means that as of now we physically are about the same age, ergo; you can stop thinking about me as 'the older man''. Alec smiled at that; 'thank you, clearly that is something worth celebrating, so what did the High Warlock of Brooklyn get me on this special occasion?'
'Patience is divine love, let me get you some breakfast first, I'm in an exceptionally generous mood today' Magnus said and pulled himself on his feet and into his acid green rope and slippers. As Alec was just getting up to follow, Magnus was beside him in a flash and pushed him gently back down on the bed. 'You just stay here and feel festive while I make you the best birthday-breakfast ever made.' 'Do I need to be afraid I'll get turned into an animal?' Alec asked while Magnus kissed his forehead, remembering Magnus's joke some years ago that really wasn't funny to Alec, since he was the one that turned into a frog. Magnus only winked at him and disappeared trough the door.
While making all sorts of pancakes, muffins and omelettes (who was counting calories today anyway), Magnus began to feel nervous as he slipped the visible part of his present in the big blueberry muffin he would use as edible gift wrap. 'I don't know how people can do this properly' he muttered to himself as he set the food on a tray and walked back into the bedroom, the tray slightly shaking from his trembling hands.
Inside, Alec was sitting up eyeing Magnus and the food; 'You look nervous, it better not be because I am going to turn into an animal if I eat that…' Magnus set the tray down and managed to smile despite his nerves, he put a hand on his heart; 'I swear to you, this breakfast is completely magic free, I know how you hated being a frog love.' Magnus plopped down on the bed and put the tray on Alec's lap; 'now eat, I know you must be hungry, you always are' eyeing his stomach that was flat and muscular not matter how much Alec ate. 'I burn a lot of calories in my line of work' Alec said nettled while picking up the blueberry muffin. Magnus smiled at him; 'that sets you off every time, you ought to know better by now.'
Still frowning, Alec took a bite of the muffin thinking it tasted really good before his teeth clashed with something hard. 'Ouch' he said as he spit the bite into his hand. As he looked to see what it was he saw that it was round and white gold. He picked it up and looked questioningly at Magnus who was looking slightly green he noted with surprise. Magnus took a deep breath while he looked down at his hands and started to speak.
'This year I wanted to give you something special, and I have been thinking and thinking but nothing would come to me, which is odd, because I'm tremendously witty….' Magnus looked up from his hands, and when he found those beautiful, bottle blue eyes all his nerves faded. He went on, taking the hand that still held the round object; 'when I asked you what you wanted, you said you just wanted me' he took the object out of Alec's hand and held it in front of him; 'so with this ring I want to ask you if maybe you would like to be magically bound to me?' 'Also, you are the love of my existence, nobody else will ever be able to take your place.'
Hearing Magnus say this, Alec felt the love he had for him swell to twice its size; 'you loving, silly Warlock….' and took the ring out of Magnus' hands and slit it on the third finger of his own left hand. It was a beautiful ring with runes engraved all over it that spoke about love, devotion and eternity. Looking up, he saw a look on the face of his love that had never been there before, the look of deep love and gratitude. Ceasing Magnus' face he said: 'I love you and only you, nobody will be able to take your place either, so yes, I do' and kissed him with a passion he didn't know he was capable of and pushed Magnus down on the bed, scattering food everywhere…
Later on, as they lay into each others arms Alec said; 'You know I will die some day, and since you never will, are you sure you want to do this?' 'You can't ever be with another after you bind yourself to me, in their book forever is forever, it won't matter if I'm dead or not…' Magnus laughed at that; 'Love, I never will want anyone else, besides, I told you yesterday that I have a cunning plan, it involves you and the Book of White Clary so kindly gave to me some 4 years ago.' Alec turned his head to look at Magnus questioningly; 'I don't get it, what about me and the Book of White?' Magnus smiled a coy smile and bent down to kiss his lover's ear; 'I have a fair amount of sorting out to do before it can lead to anything…but don't worry, we have time…'
