Chapter Six: Call
POV: Alec
"Hello sweetness."
Alec's breath caught. That voice, so silky and smooth, never ceased to undo him. He'd known that things were better between them now, but he hadn't expected the return of endearments; he was shocked to say the least.
"Uh... Hi." Wow, how articulate. Way to go, Alec.
He heard a slight chuckle on the other end of the line. "Not that I'm not glad that you did- but is there any reason for your call?"
Alec hesitated, then decided honesty was best. "I just.. wanted to hear your voice. I miss you." he paused, "Sorry, you know, if your busy or anything... I can always call you later... or, not at all, if you don't want. I mean, I don't want to disturb you or anything, and if you don't want-"
"Alexander, darling. Your rambling." He could almost hear the smile in Magnus' voice, and flushed red, despite the fact that no one was here to even see it.
"O-oh.. yeah. Sorry." He stuttered, cursing his nerves for playing up; this was Magnus here, not some stranger. Why was he suddenly so shaky and unsure? It was as if they had travelled back in time to the start of the relationship, when Alec was clueless in all aspects of dating. Of course, Magnus had then taught him all he needed to know in all those departments; emotionally, physically... Alec stopped that train of thought before he became too distracted.
He suspected the real reason for his sudden nerves was the fact that he and Magnus had only just got back together. Hell, he didn't even know if they even were back together yet. And subconsciously, his mind must still fear that he might somehow do something wrong to grant himself Magnus' rejection once again. He didn't think he'd truly ever get over that fear now.
"Alexander. Don't apologise. And don't ever think that I don't want to speak to you." Magnus paused."I'll always want you, Alec." Alec's heart stuttered, and he felt a smile grow on his face, and a blush spread across his cheeks. "And, for the record, I miss you too darling."
Alec smiled wider, though he felt a nagging sensation in his brain. "Magnus... What about... You know... Us breaking up? Our fight?"
"Water under the bridge, sweetpea." Was Magnus' simple reply. Alec was stumped. Magnus' had forgiven him? Just like that?
"If you say so." Alec replied. He wasn't about to question Magnus' judgement. Not after they'd just made up. "And for the record, that's still a no on sweetpea." There was a clear smile in Alec's voice now, too.
"I'll keep trying." Magnus chuckled. "So. How are your injuries?"
"Healed up nicely." Alec paused. "And thanks, by the way. For healing me... I'm not sure I thanked you while I was at your flat."
"Oh Alexander," Magnus all but purred his name, "That kiss was thanks enough."
Alec blushed, and didn't say anything; how was he supposed to answer that?
Magnus chuckled lightly. "You're blushing aren't you?"
Alec snorted nervously. "Pfft, no."
"You are. Don't be embarrassed, you know I love it when you blush." Magnus said teasingly, though with an undercurrent of fondness.
"Uh... Magnus?" Alec began, then hesitated.
"Yes darling?"
"Uh... well.. um, you see." Alec swallowed. "Well, I was just wondering if... maybe... if you want to, obviously-"
"Alec. Spit it out darling."
"Uh, sorry. Um okay, well, I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to... comeandseeme?" Alec spoke the last few words so fast he was surprised Magnus caught them at all.
"Alexander, sweetness. Do you even have to ask?" Magnus' voice was tender, and Alec felt his heart stutter at the words.
"Um... I mean, well... I wasn't sure if, you know, you would want to... I mean after the whole break up thing... I'm not even sure what we are right now, Magnus." Alec sighed, frustrated, and waited nervously for Magnus' reply.
"Alexander. I thought we'd gotten over this a long time ago. I will always want you... And as for what we are right now, well... why don't I just come over and tell you?"
"Yeah. That sounds good."
"See you soon, sweetpea." He could almost hear Magnus' smirk over the phone, and before he could protest to that ridiculous nickname once again, he realised Magnus had already hung up.
Within ten minutes, Alec heard a light tapping sound coming from the window, and he jumped up out of bed and walked over to it.
He pulled the curtain aside to reveal a grinning, sparkling Magnus. With a gracefulness that only he could achieve, Magnus climbed through the window, but stopped abruptly, raising one eyebrow at Alec.
At Alec's blank expression, Magnus swept a pointed gaze up and down Alec's body, and with dismay, Alec finally remembered that he'd forgotten to put his pyjamas on. Meaning, he was currently only wearing a pair of black cotton boxers. A fierce red blush spread across his cheeks. Yes, Magnus had seen him in only his boxers before- hell, Magnus had seen him in less than that before. And, obviously they had done the deed, but Alec still remained self-conscious of his body, despite Magnus having told him many times before how beautiful he was. And now, after they'd only just gotten back together, Alec felt especially vulnerable; him being one step from naked while Magnus remained fully clothed.
"Alec. Don't be embarrassed." Magnus lifted his hands to cup Alec's cheeks, and leaned in to whisper seductively into Alec's ear, "It's not like I've not seen you in less than that before."
Alec's blush deepened, and his brows furrowed. "Yeah, I know but-"
Magnus cut him off. "It's okay. I understand, sweetness." Magnus smiled down at him, his eyes tender and filled with so much love that Alec found a wide smile grace his own face too, as a warm feeling spread through his body.
Magnus grabbed both his hands, and led them over to Alec's tiny, plain black bed, in which he promptly dropped down upon, pulling Alec with him. Releasing his hands to run them through Alec's silky black hair, Magnus sighed contentedly, and spoke in a soft voice.
"And as for your earlier question; what exactly are we... Well, I would very much like for you to be my boyfriend again Alec, if you'll have me?"
Alec gasped slightly, and his wide blue eyes blinked at Magnus, as he slowly reached out to cup Magnus face in his hands. "Of course I'll have you Magnus. Always and forever."
Before Alec even had the chance to blush at his own bold words, Magnus had leaned in and stolen his lips in a passionate kiss. His arms fell to rest on Alec's hips, and he used this to pull Alec down on top of him on the black bedspread. Alec reached up to wind his arms round Magnus' neck, and the kiss deepened, as their tongues tangled together.
After a while, Magnus pulled away, only to press his lips along Alec's jaw, gently sucking at the skin. Alec tilted his head back with a light moan, baring his neck out to Magnus, whom used this to his advantage. Suctioning his mouth against Alec's neck, Magnus sucked and licked, leaving marks all across Alec's porcelain skin. Alec let out another contented sigh, his head a blissful blur.
How he'd managed without this for a week was beyond him, and that night Alec slept peacefully for the first time in weeks.
Done. Yay! Okay, this was actually surprisingly hard to write, but I really hope you like it!
From now on I'm going to try and update every two days, but if I don't, then it'll only be because I either have too much homework, or I'm just not feeling creative.
Right okay, I need to ask something now;
If you guys want, I can change the rating of this to an M, and I can make it more smutty, and even possibly add lemons.. maybe.
Or, I can keep it as a T and it will just be kissing/making out, whatever. But its up to you!
So, review, and tell me what you want? And tell me what you thought of this chapter please!
Thanks for reading.
