This was a quiet day, the kind of day Magnus loved, the domesticity of it. It was something he thought he could never have. Life with Alec made him happy. His husband was beyond his wildest dreams. The huge smile on Magnus's face threatened to jump out of his face. His husband. He still couldn't believe it, sometimes he stayed still for an hour just staring at his ring in amezement. And there he was, setting the food he had ordered from Taki's on the table while he danced around, waiting for Alec to come home. The next song started to play and Magnus smiled when he recognized it and started singing along.
And I know someday that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out
Magnus was so into the song that he didn't hear the door and Alec's steps approaching and didn't see his smile while he watched him from behind.
And I promise you kid, that I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet
Magnus made a piruette and saw his husband smiling at him, standing in the doorframe. He could but return the smile. Alec closed the distance between them and kissed his warlock hello. When their lips parted they had dazed eyes and heavy breathing.
-Well, hello there Alexander -greeted Magnus joining their foreheads. -How was your day? -asked caressing Alec's jaw.
-Good. Izzy and Jace went on a fight about which one of them will go with Clary to the wedding dress hunt.
-Isabelle won I assume -said Magnus and Alec nodded.
-Of course she won and you're invited to go with them, Izzy told me to inform you -Alec's hands sourrounded Magnus's torso and pulled him closer to him.
-Shopping day with Isabelle and biscuit? Yes, please. It's going to be so much fun -Alec smiled at his husband exitement. They stayed like that for a while, just looking into each others eyes and listening to the music.
They say all's fair
In love and war
But I won't need to fight it
We'll get it right
And we'll be united
-I'm sorry -Alec whispered with a half-smile and a tender look.
-What for? -the confussion was visible in Magnus's face.
-For having to fight it, you know -Alec shrugged apologetically. Realization hit Magnus then and he smiled and shook his head slowly.
-Oh Alexander -he breathed in the name like it was his mantra -You don't have to apologize for that baby, it was so worth it. It was hard, I'm not gonna lie, and hurt sometimes but it was all worth it, you are worth it. I can't begin to tell you how much I love you and how long I've waited for you to come into my life -he paused for air and fought the tears behind his eyelids -and besides, I did have some fun getting you, you had the most adorable blush whenever I flirted with you -Magnus smiled when that exact same blush appeared on Alec's face. -I love you.
Alec loved the look on his warlock's face when he said those words to him and loved even more the look he got when he said them to him so, he said them back. Life was to short to waste it not saying it every day, because it was true, he loved Magnus more than anything and he was going to make sure his husband knew it and heard it every day they had left togheter.
