Beautiful

"You think I'm pretty without any make-up on"…

Magnus hummed as he carefully removed the glitter and eye shadow from around his green, cat-like eyes, the bright purple eyeliner smudging a little. After a fun night out celebrating Jace and Clary's engagement, Magnus couldn't wait to crawl into bed and curl up in Alec's arms.

After a little more scrubbing all the glitter had been removed. He turned off the light in the bathroom, leaving the mess of make-up wipes, cold cream jars and used cotton wool, to clean up in the morning. He strolled down the hall to the bedroom he shared with Alec; his silk pyjama bottoms slung low on his slim hips. His bright green kimono-style robe was open revealing his tanned torso with no belly button. Still humming, he pushed the door open. Alec was lying on their bed, his toned arms resting above his head as he lay there, deep in thought. The light scars of old runes etched on his skin were barely visible. He lifted his head as Magnus padded in.

Alec's amazingly blue eyes stood out from behind his tousled black hair. He was usually asleep well before his boyfriend had finished 'de-glittering' himself and came to bed. He had only seen Magnus without his makeup a few times. A smile crept onto his handsome face as Magnus slipped the robe from his shoulders and tossed it on the floor. He saw the cute smile on Alec's face and couldn't help but smile back. 'What's with the grin Shadow hunter?' he asked jokingly, poking Alec's leg playfully as he lay down beside him, propping himself up on one elbow so he could look into Alec's breathtakingly blue eyes, getting lost in their depth.

Alec studied every details of his lovers face. He looked different without all the glitter, all the eyeliner and all of the other gunk Magnus put on his face every day. He still oozed sexiness but differently. His cat-like eyes had a new quality to them; they seemed wise, carefree yet…. Vulnerable.

Alec cupped Magnus's face in his hands, 'You're beautiful', he said, gazing into his eyes. Magnus was used to being called "hot" and "sexy" (but let's face it, he really is a sexy, sexy warlock). But that's what he wanted people to think. But with Alec he let his walls come down, he felt he could show him the real Magnus Bane. In 800 years Magnus had never been called beautiful, but that didn't matter. Alec was all that mattered now. He was his one true love.

His thoughts were interrupted as Alec wrapped his arms around him and captured his lips with his own. Magnus returned the kiss and lingered in the moment before reluctantly breaking away, 'I love you Alexander'. Alec smiled, 'I love you more, Magnus'.

Gazing once more into those eyes, Magnus was lost in their depth and his lips were locked with Alec's. He had found what he was missing for the last 800 years. Alexander Lightwood was his missing puzzle piece

They both knew that all they needed was each other and at that moment, that was all that mattered.
