Hiya guys! It's me, I'm back and I love the few of you who read my fics so much! This one will be all about Malec but will mention the others (Clace, Sizzy etc). I am currently obsessed with 'Shadowhunters' ,at the moment, purely because of Matthew Daddario and Harry Shum Jr as Alec and Magnus. Ohhhh the kiss, the kiss, my poor heart... sorry rambling.
This first chapter was written whilst listening to 'Bloom' by The Paper Kites. It's beautiful.
I own nothing; it's all Cassie's *cries*
Chapter 1: Painted Gold
"In the morning when I wake
And the sun is coming through,
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
And you fill my head with you"- The Paper Kites
The golden morning sunlight filtered through a gap in the curtains, warming Alec's face and slowly waking him up. Feeling the warmth on his face, he rolled over and snuggled into his pillow. Opening his eyes sleepily, he was greeted by the sight of Magnus sprawled across the pillow next to him, snoring softly. His hair was mussed up and hanging haywire over his beautiful face. With his eyeliner smudged slightly and the quilt covering a bare minimum, Alec couldn't help but think he looked utterly ravishing. A ray of light played upon his boyfriend's back, illuminating the tan skin. Alec watched it trace its way up Magnus' body until it reached his face upon which, Magnus awoke, yawning like a kitten. His hair fell into his eyes and he blinked, unamused at it. Alec grinned, not quite believing this man was his.
"Morning, sleepy head"
Magnus lifted his head a fraction off of the pillow and looked blearily about him before face planting back into the pillow, "Alexander… it's so early. Turn off your charm and let me sleep."
Sitting up, Alec barked out a short laugh and glanced at the glitter-covered clock on the nightstand.
"Mags, it's 12:30. We've been asleep for nearly 12 hours…"
Magnus dragged himself up and hovered his face in front of Alec's, cat eyes slightly crossed, "that's because I sleep wonderfully with my sexy, sexy demon hunter watching over me. You should sleep over more often," Magnus wiggled his eyebrows up and down, laughing. He watched with amusement as Alec blushed furiously. Sometimes he forgot how young Alec actually was. It saddened him slightly, that Alec was only a fraction of time in his long life despite how much his heart denied that truth.
"Yeh, well you snore like a pig!" Alec stuttered out, obviously distracted by the way Magnus was inching over to him playfully, duvet discarded. Magnus breathed in the smell of Alec deeply and laced his fingers in his boyfriend's wild hair, drawing his face towards him. Smiling, he leant his forehead against Alec's. Whispering, he shifted himself so he was sitting directly in front of Alec," Alexander, did you just call me a pig?"
Alec tried to answer but was halted when Magnus brushed his lips with a flutter of a kiss. He glanced down at Magnus entrapping eyes and felt his heart swoop. Symptoms. Breathlessness, the speeding of the heart, tingling of the skin. If love was a sickness, he was a dying man. Whenever Alec was with Magnus he felt like he was caught in a fire, being slowly engulfed by the flames, but never burned. Never burned, just beautifully scorched, wanting more.
Leaning forward to catch the kiss, he was met by air as Magnus backed up an inch to smirk at him.
"Did you?"
"So what if I did? It doesn't change the fact that you snore like one"
Alec crossed his arms and leant back, pleased with himself. Magnus huffed out an indignant laugh and grabbed the nearest pillow. Thumping his boyfriend over the head with it, he jumped from the bed and scrambled to the other side of the bedroom holding the pillow out defensively. Alec laughed at the sight before snatching up his own pillow and jumping off the bed to chase Magnus. He got in at least two hits but Magnus managed to thwack him round the head again. Alec threw the pillow at Magnus, shouting in triumph when it smacked him in the face, exploding into a shower of feathers. Magnus stood in shock for a second, feathers hanging out his hair. An evil grin spread across his face. He scooped up a pile of the white objects and jumped at Alec, rubbing them all over his head. Alec gave up on trying to stop Magnus and grabbed a handful of feathers for himself. When Magnus stopped his attack, Alec blew the feathers into his face, giggling as Magnus spluttered like a cat sneezing. In one final attempt to win the game, Alec tackled Magnus onto the bed, tickling him as he went. Laughing uncontrollably, Magnus feebly tried to fend off Alec but failed hopelessly. When Alec finally stopped tickling Magnus, they lay there in the embrace of each other arms, catching their breath.
Taking a lungful of air, Alec gazed down at the warlock underneath him and suddenly the atmosphere in the room changed. The shadowhunter could almost feel the static charge between them. Closing the gap, he caught Magnus' lips with his own, tentatively at first but then more passionate when Magnus looped his arms round his neck, dragging him down. Magnus grazed Alec's lower lip with his teeth, making the shadowhunter gasp. Alec moved his lips down to Magnus jawline, leaving a trail of gentle kisses down his neck. Arching his neck into his boyfriend's touch, Magnus felt himself slowly losing control.
"Alec," Magnus gasped, "you're not allowed to use magic."
Alec looked up, his eyes hazy, "what magic?"
Grinning, Magnus ran his hands down Alec's chest, "you. You're magical Alexander and I love every part of you. Even the parts that call me a pig"
Alec chuckled softly, not quite sure how to reply to Magnus. Reading his expression of awkwardness, Magnus cupped Alec's face with his hands, "don't say anything. You don't need to."
"No, Magnus I," Alec paused, chewing his lip, "I think I'm in love with you and I don't know how to say that in any other way."
Magnus tilted his head, indicating for Alec to continue.
"I guess before I met you I had just shut myself off from everything, everyone, but you. Hell, I pushed everyone away but you've made me feel alive in the best way possible.
"I don't care anymore what people think. Screw them all, I love you and that's all that matters really," Alec gazed softly into Magnus' eyes. Magnus stroked Alec's face with an immeasurable amount of tenderness, brushing away the dark strands of hair that had fallen into his eyes.
"You complete me, Alexander"
