Making Up

"Shall I open a portal?' Magnus asked.

'Let's walk,' Alec replied.

Magnus nodded and they headed back to his apartment Alec just wanted the feeling of walking beside Magnus again. He had missed being beside Magnus to a point of real pain, in fact the emotional pain he had suffered when they broke up was worse than almost any physical pain he had ever experienced. He briefly relived that moment when Magnus had told him that he couldn't be with him and protect the downworld. He had felt as if his world was crumbling, his heart had literally ached as if he had been hit in the chest, his breath had stopped, but he had to be strong for his family. Still shocked by the near death of Max they needed him, so he had pulled it in swallowed his agony, wiped his tears and been there for them.

Now though, he had his Magnus back and he would make damn sure he never lost him again, he took Magnus's arm and pulled him into a doorway for a moment kissing him and holding him close.

"Portal time,' Magnus gasped when the kiss finally ended.

Alec nodded he needed to be with Magnus right now, Magnus waved his arms in his usual theatrical and to Alec mesmerizing manner. The portal was straight in front of them Magnus grabbed Alec and they both fell through landing on Magnus' chaise. Alec had started kissing Magnus again and Magnus was disinclined to stop him. They lay together, Alec below holding onto Magnus as if he were a life raft in a bottomless ocean. Magnus peppered Alec with kisses before fixing his lips around the soft part of Alec's throat and drawing the skin, marking it until Alec was whimpering with desire.

Magnus threw his jacket back and flung off his shirt while Alec watched with eyes filled with want and need. Magnus pulled Alec up and heaved off his layered tops, leaving bare skin glistening with sweat, both had thought they would never see or touch each other like this again. Magnus continued kissing Alec moving down his body as Alec gave small sounds of pleasure. Magnus yanked at Alec's pants dragging them down, as Alec flicked them off Magnus always found it amazing how the Shadowhunter could make something as graceless as undressing look good. Magnus pulled his own black trousers off and tossed them next to Alec's then he lay back on top of Alec as the beautiful young man pulled him close once more.

Their bodies moved together each renewing their knowledge of the other, touching, kissing, exploring both wanting to extend every moment. Magnus had surprised himself when he had chosen to reconcile with Alec, but he knew when Alec had said he couldn't live without him he'd had no choice. He felt the same his every thought had dragged him back to Alec, he was engulfed in memories. Even when he had tried pushing Alec away the younger man's stoicism had beguiled him at each step. And now here they were Alec responding to his every touch and caress, he could feel his own reactions intensifying the heat between them.

'Magnus please more,' Alec's voice was soft but clear.

Magnus looked at him quizzically.

'I want to feel you, all of you, to be as close to you as I can, Magnus I want to be yours, all of me,' Alec was looking at Magnus watching his reactions.

Magnus's eyes had been shining before but now they blazed like a tiger's Alec thought, a magnificent predator and it was he Alec Lightwood that had caused it. He felt such power that he could make Magnus lose that one primal piece of control. The control that kept him from being seen for what he truly was, one of the most powerful beings in the world and yet he lost all that constraint when he was with Alec.

"Are you sure Alexander? You've never done this before, is it what you truly want?' Magnus' voice was husky his desire obvious.

"Yes, yes I need you Magnus all of you,' Alec replied pulling Magnus in for another deep kiss.

Magnus began to move his hands down stroking Alec as they continued kissing, mouth, face, throat and neck. Alec felt Magnus' hands those strong, beautiful, magical yet delicate hands that he loved. They were moving slowly but surely doing things to him that were driving him wild. His body was already on edge and he felt himself thrusting and heard his own voice begging for more as if from somewhere else. Magnus asked him again if this was what he wanted, he almost yelled at him yes Yes dammit! Magnus gave a throaty chuckle and obeyed Alec's demands, soon their bodies were one in ways Alec had never felt before. He was a part of Magnus now truly, they belonged to each other, he had what he thought he never would. And it was so good and so right, he demanded more and Magnus obliged and now he was flying and falling with his lover.

He cried out as his body took over completely, the only time the rock steady Alec Lightwood was outside his own mind. Magnus shook a moment later his head dropping onto Alec's shoulder as both heaved with effort their breathing harsh and heavy.

'My Alexander, my love,' Magnus whispered into his ear.

Alec let out a shuddering sigh these were the words he truly wanted to hear, he needed Magnus to want him that much, to want him body and soul.

'Always Magnus I'm yours forever,' Alec said breathlessly.

Magnus looked into Alec's eyes and saw the love and honesty in them and he knew Alec would never lie to him again, that forgiving him was the best choice he had ever made. They lay in each other's arms two bodies again, Alec had felt a moment of loss at the breaking of that connection. Magnus had kissed him and held him and said all the words he needed to hear. They fell asleep still holding each other entwined hands and bodies, both feeling more peace than they had in weeks.

Alec woke up in the darkness, at some point Magnus must have draped a silk sheet over them, his head was resting on Alec's chest their legs were tangled together. It was real, Alec thought, we found each other again, he'd dreamt this moment so many times over the past weeks that he'd thought he was dreaming again. Every time he had awoken from these dreams it had been to the nightmare of reality with no Magnus in his arms. By the angel, he swore I will never let Magnus down again, he kissed the top of Magnus' head and breathed in his scent allowing himself to drift back to sleep with a contented smile and a heart filled with resolve.
