Marry You by Bruno Mars
5 years. 5 amazing and blissful years since my life became nothing shy of a dream come true. They say there's no such thing as fairy tales, but being with the complete love of my life sure does feel like one. The weight of his body pressed against mine is something I never thought I would feel again, yet here we are.
"Hey, Babydoll," he says. I turn my head from its position on his lap to look at him with one eyebrow raised. "I think I want to marry you."
"Well, I hope you didn't give me this ring for no reason," I say while stretching my arm out in front of me and smiling at the huge engagement ring on my finger, right next to the one he gave me in high school.
"No, I mean, I think I want to marry you right now. I don't want to wait any longer," he says, a small smile on his lips.
"You're family would murder us. Like, genuinely murder us," I reply.
"Then we won't tell them. We can go along with the other wedding like planned. I just can't wait another second," Alec says. He grabs my hand and starts running his thumb along the rings.
"Are you serious right now?"
"Dead serious." A grin grows on my face as I stare into my fiancé's gleaming eyes.
"Alright, let's do it," I say an excited jump in my voice.
"I know this chapel downtown. It'd be perfect," Alec says, a humongous smile on his face. He rolls out of our huge bed, holding his hands out to me. "Come on, let's go." I hop up, quickly pushing Alec towards the closet.
"Quick, put some clothes on and get out so I can get dressed," I say.
"What, why?" Alec says, raising an eyebrow as he grabs a simple white button down and a pair of dark wash jeans. He quickly puts them on before I start ushering him out of our bedroom.
"Because it's bad luck to see a bride on her wedding day," I say with a smirk before slamming the door in his face. I hear Alec laughing gleefully as he walks deeper into the loft, having no problem waiting for Magnus if it means he get's to marry the gorgeous man.
TTTTTTTTTT
"Babydoll! Did you see this view?" Alec exclaims, causing me to walk over to the room he's in and wrap my arms around his waist from behind. I look out the bay windows running all the way through the kitchen, the LA skyline looking as lovely as ever. I spin Alec around, smiling lovingly at him.
"So, what do you think?" I ask, moving my arms around his neck.
"I love it. It's perfect. This is the place I want," Alec says, an excited glint in his eyes.
"Your wish is my command!" I say, placing a quick kiss on his lips. "This shall be our new home."
"Mmm, our new home. I love the sound of that," Alec says. He pulls away slightly, grabbing my hand and spinning me in a circle a few times. "I can see it now. Coming home from work, seeing you cooking us dinner, which would probably smell oh so amazing."
"And I have the radio on to some really cheesy romantic station," I say going along with Alec. "So, we dance as the food cooks in nothing but the lights from the city." Alec and I start dancing slowly, smiling brightly at each other.
"And we express our undying love for each other before sitting down to a nice meal where we talk about our day and sip on some wine, picked out by you of course," Alec says.
"Oh, of course. You'd probably pick out a $20 bottle if it were up to you," I say, shaking my head in mock disapproval.
"And when we're done, I clean the dishes while you go pick out a movie for us. You fall asleep watching the movie, like you always do, so I carry you to our bed and we fall asleep cuddling," Alec says, spinning me again before pulling me back into our previous dance steps.
"How domestic of us," I say, leaning closer to him.
"You love it," Alec replies, pushing our noses together.
"I do, though I love you even more,Darling," I say, sealing the conversation with a kiss, a future promise.
TTTTTTTTTT
I come out of our room to see Alec sitting on the large white couch in our living room, playing on his phone. He looks up as he hears the door open and a huge smile grows on his face.
"What do you think?" I ask, twirling around to show him my whole outfit.
"You look amazing, as always," Alec says, getting up and pecking me on the lips.
"Gosh, you're too nice to me," I say, playfully hitting him on the chest. Alec just grabs my hand placing a kiss on the two rings sitting there.
"Are you ready? Cause I'm certainly ready?" Alec asks slowly starting to pull me towards the elevator.
"Please," I say while rolling my eyes. "I've been ready ever since I saw those pretty blue eyes of yours." Alec barks out a laugh, stepping into the elevator and pressing the button for the garage.
The ride down is silent, the two of us just enjoying the feeling of our tangled hands hanging between us. The doors open and together we walk towards my red spider, the same one I've had for the last five years. We get in, our hands instantly finding each other's over the consul as Alec drives us off to his destination.
TTTTTTTTTT
"Alexander, you have to do this," I say, narrowing my eyes at the man sitting in the passenger seat of my car.
"But, why? It's not like he doesn't already know. You kissed me in front of everyone, for god's sake! And then you went home with me! If that's not a hint, I don't know what is," Alec says, crossing his arms and staring at me. I sigh, rolling my eyes.
"Yeah? Well, I'm not going to kiss you again until you're not in a relationship anymore," I say, challenging him with my eyes. Alec scoffs shaking his head at me.
"You weren't exactly saying that last night," Alec mumbles, scowling slightly.
"But I'm saying it now, and if I were you, I wouldn't test me," I say. Alec looks over, pouting slightly.
"Will you come with me?" he asks, sounding slightly desperate now.
"No, this is something you need to do alone," I say while placing my hand on his arm. Alec looks at my hand with a sigh.
"I know, it's just...I don't want to hurt him. He's a nice guy," Alec says, letting his head fall back onto the head rest.
"Darling, it'll hurt more if you just completely cut him out with no explanation," I say. I run my thumb along his cheek gently.
"Alright," Alec says glancing over to me with a resigned smile. "Wish me luck."
"It'll be okay. I'll wait here for you," I say. Alec nods as he get's out of the car and walks off to his soon-to-be ex-boyfriend's house.
TTTTTTTTTT
I raise my eyebrows and look over to Alec as I see him pulling up in front of Jace's beach house.
"We need a witness and Jace is probably the only one who would go along with this," Alec says shrugging. Magnus laughs and nods in agreement, and gets out of the car. Jace moved out to LA a little bit after Alec in order to help run the bar, though he does still go back to Nebraska quite a bit.
Alec knocks on the door, grasping Magnus' hand and smiling at him. The door swings open, revealing Jace wearing a college sweatshirt and some sweatpants. He looks a bit surprised to see the two of them standing on his doorstep.
"What's up guys?" Jace says, running a hand through his disheveled hair.
"Would you like to be the witness for our wedding?" Alec asks with a dopey smile. Jace blinks a few times, staring blankly at Alec.
"What?" Jace responds a few seconds later.
"We're getting married," Alec says, squeezing Magnus' hand.
"Like right now," Magnus adds. He looks at Alec quickly, smiling. "And we need a witness. Would you mind?" Jace looks between the two of them for a few seconds, not saying anything.
"Alright. Let me get my shoes," Jace finally says, reaching next to the door and pulling on a pair of sneakers. "Clary! I'm going out with Alec. I'll be back later," he yells into the house.
"Okay, have fun!" they hear Clary yell back. Jace nods and shuts the door behind himself, following the giddy couple to the car.
TTTTTTTTTT
I take a small bite out of the dinner in front of me, trying to conceal my smile from everyone sitting at the table around me. All of Alec's family, plus my mom and step-father, came to visit us in LA, which led to us all being gathered in Jace and Clary's dining room for this dinner. I look over to Alec to see him concealing a smile as well. Our eyes meet and I raise an eyebrow. Alec nods and clears his throat, effectively gaining everyone's attention.
"Magnus and I have an announcement we would like to share," Alec says, standing up and pulling me up with him. Alec squeezes my hand and smiles at me.
"Alec proposed," I say, turning to look at the reactions from my family.
"And Magnus said yes," Alec says, lifting my hand and turning it to show the rings adorning it. The first one to react is Isabelle, who squeals and practically runs towards the couple.
"Congrats, you two! God, this has been a long time coming," Isabelle says, hugging both men at the same time. Somehow, we get separated with Alec being pulled away by Jace to congratulate him and me by the girls so they can gush over my ring.
"Welcome to the family, Magnus. I'm glad he finally got the courage to do it," Maryse says, kissing my cheek. I laughs, smiling fondly at my future mother-in-law.
"Thank you, Maryse. That means a lot," I say, not able to stop smiling. The girls move on to go congratulate Alec, except for Isabelle who stays standing in front of me with little Annie in her arms.
"You know, I never gave up on you. I knew you'd come back," Isabelle says with a slight smirk.
"And how exactly did you know that?" I say, raising an eyebrow at her.
"Because you love him more than anything. And when you love someone that much, you don't just let them go"
TTTTTTTTTT
"So, what brought this up?" Jace says, leaning back in the backseat of the couple's car.
"We don't want to wait any longer," Alec says with a shrug.
"We've been together so long, it just feels like the right thing to do," I say, nodding my head in agreement.
"And you know our family would kill you if they ever find out you did this," Jace says, raising his eyebrows.
"Which is why you won't be telling anyone," I say, turning back to glare at Jace. Jace puts his hands in the air in surrender.
"Alright, alright. It'll be our little secret," Jace says, smirking slightly. "And what about the wedding Izzy has been planning for the last few months?"
"We'll still have the wedding. We'll just already be married while it's happening," I say with a shrug.
"This may just be one of the dumbest things the two of you have done," he says, shaking his head. A big grin grows on his face. "But I love it."
Both Alec and I laugh along with Jace as we make our way towards the shoreline and drive along the beach. For the first time, I start to wonder where this chapel might be. I know we're heading south but I have no idea where this chapel could be. I look out the window until Alec pulls up in front of a small white building, a small smile growing on my face.
"Is this...?" I ask, stepping out of the car with a large smile.
"Uh huh," Alec says, coming around the car and grabbing my hand.
"How did you know there was a chapel here?" I ask in complete awe.
I saw it the last time we were here," Alec says with a huge smile, pulling me off towards the chapel with Jace trailing behind.
TTTTTTTTTT
"Let's have a sand castle contest!" Alec exclaims, taking both of my hands and swinging them in between us. I throw my head back and laugh.
"A sand castle contest? Really?" I say, raising my eyebrows at him.
"Yes, come on. It will be fun."
"Alright, fine," I say, smiling at the smile that grows on my boyfriends face.
"Turn around. You're not allowed to see until we're both done," Alec says turning around and dropping into the sand. I also turn around and drop to my knees, starting to build my sand castle. I do my best, but when I'm done it honestly looks no better than a few lumps on the ground.
"Are you done?" I hear Alec say.
"I guess you could say that," I say, standing up and scowling at my "sand castle". I hear Alec laugh and shake his head.
"Alright, turn on three," Alec says and I nod. "One, two, three."
I spin around and gasp. Instead of making a sand castle, Alec had written "Will you marry me?" in the sand. He is kneeling next to the words and is holding up a huge diamond ring between his fingers. Alec raises and eyebrow, tilting his head.
"Yes! God, yes." I run over to him and tackle him into the sand. I attach my lips to his and run my hands down his sides. "Mmm, yes. A thousand times yes," I say in between kisses. Alec rolls us over so he's on top, straddling my hips.
"Do you want the ring or not?" Alec says, holding the ring in front of me. I laugh and hold out my hand, allowing Alec to slip the ring onto my hand. I smile as I look at it, the beautiful thing sparkling on my hand. Alec pushes my hand out of the way before moving his mouth back down to mine.
TTTTTTTTTT
"Are you ready, Man?" Jace says as he smoothes out some of the wrinkles in Alec's shirt.
"So ready," Alec says, nodding his head and smiling at his best friend. I clear my throat, making the two of them look over to the doors. I beam as I watch Alec's eye light up and start taking steps down the isle, a bouquet of flowers in my hands.
"Would you like me to sing?" Jace asks, laughing slightly. I look to Alec and shrug.
"Yeah, sure," Alec says, smirking at Jace who's smile falls off his face.
"I was kidding, but all right," Jace says, before he starts humming 'Here comes the bride'. I smile and continue my trek down the isle. My eyes lock with Alec's and I stick my tongue out at him. He starts laughing but covers it up with a cough, trying to hide his growing smile. I make it up to the alter and stand opposite Alec. The officiant clears his throat and everyone turns to face him.
"Welcome. We are gathered here today to witness the union between these two souls." Alec and I both start snickering but stop at the look the officiant gives us. I give him an apologetic look, and signal for him to keep talking. "Today is a day of promises. Of lifelong commitment. Of symbols of the bond that connects these two people. Though, most importantly, beneath the vows, the rings, the party, there is love. Undeniable and unbreakable love. Without love, we wouldn't be here today. And that is the most important thing you two need to remember as you embark on this incredible journey. And now for the exchanging of the vows."
"Me first!" I say quickly. Alec smiles at me and urges me on. "Alright, Alec, Alexander, My Dear." Alec smiles brightly and I can't help but return it. "There's never been a day that I questioned my love for you. Even those 5 long years we spent apart, there was one thing I could always rely on. And that was that I love you. I've always loved you and I know for a fact that there is no way I could ever stop loving you. You, Alexander Lightwood, are my life and I want you by my side until I die."
"Alright, my turn, I guess." Alec smiles brightly, clearing his throat. "Magnus, my wonderful fiancé. My childhood sweetheart. My lover. But most importantly, my best friend. I'm not sure where I would be in my life right now, had I never met you. Honestly, I'd probably still be in the closet. Because you gave me the strength to do what I had to do. You've always been my strength, my rock. And I'll be damned if I ever have to spend another day without being able to call you my husband. Because, Magnus Bane, I love you, oh so dearly."
"And now for the rings," the officiant says. Jace's eyes widen, looking between the two.
"Did you guys bring rings?" Jace asks, shaking his head slightly. My eyes widen and I look towards Alec.
"Oh, right! Yeah, I did," Alec says, fishing into his pant pocket. He pulls out two rings and smiles as he hands one to me. I smile and play with the ring in my fingers.
"Go ahead," the officiant says, looking towards Alec. He nods, holding the ring up.
"With this ring, I thee wed," he says as he slips the ring onto my finger. I smile looking at the third ring now sitting on my hand. I look at Alec and hold up his ring.
"With this ring, I thee wed," I repeat, sliding the ring onto Alec's finger. Alec smiles at me, twining our fingers together.
"I know pronounce you husband and husband. You may kiss the groom."
Alec leaps towards me, grabbing my shirt and pulling our lips together. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back just as hard. We don't break apart until Jace coughs. We only pull back an inch, smiling at each other.
"I love you, Husband," I say, touching my nose to his.
"And I love you. My beautiful, beautiful husband," Alec responds, making me pull him closer and kiss him again.
