Title: K - Kisses
Series: Alphabet Soup Series
A/N: I am so sorry for updating so late! Uni commenced four weeks ago, and life has been hectic for me since Day 1 of the new semester. I had to cut what would have been two-pages worth of the chapter, since I didn't have a chance to finish the chapter otherwise. Better short than nothing, right? I also tried to make this as sweet as possible to compensate. So...enjoy! :)
Summary: If there is one thing Magnus and Alec love more than sex, it is the kisses they shared.
Disclaimer: I do not own The Mortal Instruments.

(1) Kiss on the Forehead

Magnus frowned when he woke up, and Alec was not at his side of the bed. When he glanced at their digital clock, his frown deepened. Alec was never a morning person. He swung his legs over the side of the bed, and sat down while wiping his face with one hand. The door was slightly opened, so he knew Alec must have went outside. He stood up, and walked out the bedroom.

At first, he thought Alec would be in the kitchen for a drink, or sitting in the living room. He was wrong. While walking along the hallway, he could hear a retching sound from the bathroom near one of the guest room, furthest from his and Alec's bedroom. He sighed, and fastened his pace.

The sight that greeted him when the bathroom door swung open was Alec kneeling by the toilet bowl, retching and vomiting. In two big strides, he was kneeling next to his boyfriend.

"Oh darling," Magnus whispered, while rubbing Alec's back. "I wish you would let me help you go through this."

"Sorry," Alec apologized when he was done. Magnus passed him a glass of water and a kerchief, which he gladly accepted, and gargled before wiping his mouth with the kerchief. He leaned into Magnus's open arms, resting his head against Magnus's chest. "I didn't want to burden you."

Magnus wrapped one hand around Alec, pulling him closer, while another hand rested carefully on Alec's still-flat stomach. "You will never be a burden to me, Alexander."

A playful smile appeared on Alec's face. "You say that now, but you'll change your mind when you have to deal with a very hormonal me."

Magnus can't help but laugh out loud. "Oh darling, you can scream at me all you want, you can make lots of irrational demands, and I will still love you."

Alec chuckled, and Magnus pressed a light kiss on his forehead.

(2) Kiss on the Stomach

It was two in the afternoon when Magnus returned home from an appointment, and Alec was stretched out on the couch while reading a book. The young shadowhunter was still feeling too sick to go out or do anything. He grinned when he saw the reading glasses on Alec's face. The younger teen had always despised wearing them.

"I'm home," he announced, walking towards the couch, Chairman Meow trailing behind him.

"Welcome home," Alec told him, as he sat up so that Magnus could sit beside him.

"Were you bored?" Magnus asked. He knew it was hard for Alec to stay home and do nothing. But the first trimester was hard on the younger teen, and he barely could walk long distances.

"I have my books, and Izzy and Jace visited earlier."

"That's great. I hope your brother didn't touch anything."

Alec rolled his eyes. Then, he asked, "How was your day?"

Magnus let out a sigh, before he laid his head on Alec's lap, and his legs dangled over the arm of the couch. Before he started telling his tale, he pressed a gentle kiss over Alec's eleven-weeks pregnant belly. "Hello, little one," he whispered.

The young shadowhunter couldn't help but smile. He caressed Magnus's hair as the warlock started ranting about his clients. That was how Alec and Magnus spent their afternoon, with Chairman Meow sleeping happily by Alec's feet.

(3) Kiss on the Shoulder

When Magnus woke up, Alec was already awake. However, he decided to pretend to still be asleep, and stare at his oblivious boyfriend. His darling Alexander was standing in front of their full-length mirror located right next to their wardrobe, and Alec had both hands cupping his abdomen. Alec looked like he was in awe. He could hear Alec say:

"Hey baby. Now that you're making your presence known, it feels more real." Alec caressed the slight swell of his stomach, blushing slightly. "I'm not…I'm not good at this emotional stuff, and I… I'm afraid that I might not be a very good dad but—" Alec didn't get to finish his sentence, because a pair of lightly-muscled arms was wrapped around his waist.

Magnus, unable to keep pretending, had quietly crept behind Alec. He rested his chin on Alec's shoulder, before whispering in his ear, "You will make a good dad, Alexander. The way you're always looking out for Isabelle and Jace is the proof that you can be a great parent." He placed his hand over Alec's, which was resting on the slight bump, before placing a kiss on Alec's shoulder. "I love you, darling."

(4) Kiss on the Hand

Magnus and Alec were having dinner at some fancy French restaurant in Manhattan that night. Now that he was finally in his second trimester, the smell of some food has stopped making him nauseous. His fifteen-weeks bump also could still be easily hidden under his loose, black knitted sweater.

"Why are we eating here, Magnus?" Alec asked, after the waiter took their order. He knew how expensive it would be to eat there.

"Can't I just do something special for you?"

"Magnus…"

"Alright, alright…" Magnus reached for the pocket sewn inside his coat, and took out a dark blue velvet ring box.

Alec's eyes widened when he saw. He was really surprised. He knew Magnus would've loved to make a big fuss over something like this. A candlelight dinner, a string quartet by the table to make the mood more romantic, and everyone's attention on them as the warlock proposed. But there was none of that, and he was too curious not to ask. Magnus's answer caused tears to well up in his eyes.

Magnus had look directly at Alec, when he answered. "I knew you hated all the attention on you, and I knew the only one attention you want is mine. I love you so much, Alec, and I would never do anything to make you uncomfortable. At least, not on a special day." After a moment's pause, he opened the ring box. "Therefore, Alexander Gideon Lightwood, will you do me the honor of accepting my hand in marriage?"

Alec blushed, brushing away the tears in his eyes with the back of his hand. Then, he looked at Magnus with a smile. "Yes, I will."

Magnus, with a big grin, took Alec's left hand, and placed the engagement ring on Alec's ring finger. After that, he gently kissed Alec's knuckles. "You've made me the happiest man alive, Alexander," he whispered, while looking at his blue-eyed boyfriend with eyes full of love.
