"Flight 204, first class boarding now. Destination, New York City, New York."
Izzy smiled sadly at Alec, who pulled her into big hug. "I guess that's me," She said into his hair, squeezing him tighter.
"I can't believe it's over." Alec pulled away, sniffing. "That was my favorite vacation yet, officially."
Izzy moved away, removing herself from Alec. She wiped her eyes a little, clearing her throat. Alec's heart clenched.
"Oh please, that's only because you got something extra out of it," She grinned, nodding her head towards Magnus, who was waiting patiently a few feet away. He smiled, looking up from his phone for a second to wave. Alec laughed.
"You know, I'll miss you in college."
She rolled her eyes, smacking him in the arm. "I'm still gonna visit you before summer's over, dingus."
"Oh." She laughed brightly, tugging him into another small hug before giving him up for Jace.
"Okay. Bye bye, Alec. Jace, you better go quick cause we really gotta go." She blew him a kiss, collecting her bags and clicking in her heels in the direction of her flight. Jace walked up to Alec, sighing as he watched her go. He propped his arm up on Alec's shoulder.
"Ever wonder how she does it all in heels?"
Alec snickered. "All the time, man." They crashed into each other, arms wrapping tightly around each other like they would never let go. Alec closed his eyes.
They didn't say anything for a little bit, just hugging tightly like idiots. Alec took a deep breath, trying to hold on a little longer.
"Flight 204, last call for first class boarding. Flight 204, last call for first class."
Jace finally tore himself away, patting him on the back twice before turning around to pick up his bags.
"This was fun, dude."
Alec smiled, laughing a little. "Yeah. Yeah, it was fun."
Jace pat him on the back on more time before picking up his suitcase. "Well, Izzy's going assassinate me if I'm late, so. See you sometime," He started walking in the direction where Izzy went. "I'll call you," He waved, then officially turned around.
"Bye."
Alec watched him go next, staring until he turned the corner and he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. He didn't look at first.
"Well, that's the last of them." Magnus whispered. He leaned over and kissed Alec softly on the cheek, compelling him to finally glance over. Alec beamed, turning around completely to capture his lips fully in a slow, warm kiss. He wrapped his arms soundly around Magnus's neck, playing with his soft, velvety hair between his fingers. Magnus reacted, groaning a little and sliding his arms around Alec's torso until they couldn't hold on any tighter.
They broke about an inch apart, both eyes still closed. "Thanks for being here for me." Alec said almost mutely, rubbing his nose lightly on Magnus's.
Magnus smiled a little, pressing a smooth kiss to the tip of his nose, causing Alec to giggle. "Of course, sweetheart."
Alec pressed their lips together again, more chastely while unraveling himself from Magnus's arms. He drew back quickly, still keeping a hold on Magnus's hand when he reached down to jerk his heavy backpack on his shoulder. His face was a little crimson.
"We should probably, um, get to our flight…I…Stop looking at me like that!" Alec blushed and ducked away, squeezing Magnus's hand. Magnus didn't stop the ongoing hungry look, squeezing his hand right back and using his other one to pull Alec's face back up. His mouth was gaping open, cheeks flushed.
"Why…What are you—" Alec mumbled.
"I have no idea what you're talking about darling." Magnus smirked.
Alec took one last long look at Magnus, wondering when he got so, so damn lucky, before turning away. He cleared his throat, determinedly moving forward as he towed Magnus along by his hand.
"We're gonna…We um…Need to catch a flight. No time for any of that." He whisper added under his breath mostly to himself. Magnus grinned, loving the effect he had on Alec.
"Alec?"
Alec murmured, closing his gaping mouth and sniffing a little, but still staying sound asleep.
"Alec? Honey?" He smiled and shook Alec a little more firmly, still getting no response more than a slight twitch.
Magnus grinned, giving up and leaning back into his airplane seat. It always took too much away from him to wake his lovely boyfriend up. Alec was literally so adorable when he slept.
Today, he had fallen asleep on the long plane ride home, his head using Magnus's shoulder as a pillow. His face was slack, mouth open a little and eyes moving quickly under his lids in an intense dream. He even talked a little, a few things like 'party', and 'glitter', and the most endearing thing he said being Magnus's own name.
When did he get so damn lucky?
The plane was said to be landing soon, and by soon, he meant a few minutes. Magnus could see the tops of buildings, skimming through the foggy day in New York City. Magnus sighed.
"Alec. Alec, you need to wake up now," Alec moaned, nudging his hand away.
"Come on. Alec. Please." He shook Alec's shoulders again. Alec didn't move. "Alec," Magnus laughed lightly. "Alec the plane is landing. You need to get up!" Magnus said a little louder right in Alec's ear. He finally cracked open an angry eye, searching it around until it finally landed glaring at Magnus's face, which was grinning in triumph.
"What are you doing?" He wondered groggily, groaning and wiping his eyes.
"Alec. We're home." Alec blinked a few times, squinting before sitting up a little more and peering outside their tiny window. His eyes widened a little, and he immediately reached down below his feet to start putting his bags together.
"Why didn't you wake me before?"
Magnus snorted. "I sure as hell tried to. Was it a good dream?"
Alec stopped, turning his head back to glare and him. He looked wonderfully beautiful, black hair disheveled, blue eyes firm with still a film of weariness across them. His lips were unconsciously in a pout, and Magnus licked his own without realizing at the sight, a sudden urge to kiss Alec gripping him. At that, Alec's cheeks turned a little red and he quickly ducked back down to start shoving things into his bags again.
Soon, the plane was approaching the airport and skidding to a stop along the long bumpy cement at JFK, and people were unbuckling and starting to take out their suitcases, including responsible Alec. Magnus was feeling lazy, so he just got up and followed along.
"You happy to be home baby?" Magnus nuzzled his nose in Alec's neck, taking a deep inhale as they waited in line to get out of the plane.
Alec scrunched his shoulders up a little at the tickle from Magnus's breath, smiling. "Yeah. I am. You know, we haven't been on a proper date yet."
"You're right. I don't think we have." Magnus reached a hand up and turned Alec's face to him, capturing their lips together. "How about, as soon as we get out of here I take you to the best restaurant in New York?"
Alec smiled again. "That depends on what restaurant you're talking about."
"Well, how about a surprise?" Alec narrowed his eyes playfully at Magnus, who laughed.
"I don't know if I trust you," Magnus gasped dramatically, putting a hand to his heart.
"How could you, Alexander?" Alec giggled.
"Well, I think we should wait like a day or two unless you want me to be tired and jetlagged on our first date. I say we do it Monday."
Magnus looked pleased. "Whatever you want darling." The line started moving, and Magnus removed his head from Alec's shoulder, fondly kissing his cheek before moving down the line with him.
They soon called a cab when they got back, and Magnus went back to his apartment to unpack while Alec went to his. It felt strangely nice to be home, comforting.
A few hours later, right before Alec was going to take a shower, his buzzer made a loud noise, signaling someone was there.
He pressed the speaker button. "Hello?"
"It's your worst nightmare," A deep voice said.
"Hey Magnus," Alec laughed, pressing another button and letting Magnus up.
"How'd you know it was me?" Magnus said once he reached the doorway.
Alec shrugged, turning back and walking into his house. "Cause you've done that to me before. Did you really forget?"
"Oh." Magnus laughed, following him into the apartment. "So, this is a nice place."
Alec smiled shyly. "Oh. Right. You haven't seen it yet."
"It smells like you," Magnus couldn't help adding. "Like peppermint."
Alec's nose scrunched up cutely. "Ew, do I really smell like peppermint?"
Magnus laughed, coming closer and wrapping his arms around Alec's small waist. "It's not a bad thing."
Alec took a deep breath, leaning in and closing his eyes, sensually pressing their lips together. After a few minutes, they pulled away.
"You know, you even taste like peppermint."
Alec chuckled, a little breathlessly, unwrapping himself from Magnus. "Anyway, I was just about to take a shower and…" He gestured to the bathroom door, seemingly having trouble finding words.
"Yes?" Magnus pressed with a smirk.
"Wou—Uh…J—Join me?"
Magnus grinned, walking up and giving Alec another small kiss.
"Of course."
"Hey, Clary." Alec walked around the counter at Peet's, grabbing his apron off the hook. Clary, who's hair was pulled loosely in a messy bun accompanied with a tank top and sweatpants, glared at him. She had deep bags under her eyes, and was clutching her own coffee cup, their tallest sized cup as she prepared another.
"You're late." She muttered, scribbling someone's name sloppily on the frap she made and sliding it across the counter.
Alec shrugged, tying the strings behind his back as Magnus walked in the shop behind him. "Sorry, I was busy doing things." He waved his hand airily.
Magnus grinned, putting his hands on the counter. "I'm things." He said casually, tilting his head. Alec gasped, turning around and whacking Magnus's arm.
"Hey—Wha—" He didn't, however, get a chance to finish when Clary started wheezing with laughter, hand flying to cover her mouth. Alec rolled his eyes, trying to act annoyed but it kind of being a failed victory with all the embarrassment.
"Lightwood? What are you doing, get the next customer, now." A short, pale, dark-haired man came out from the employee's only door, holding a plate with two scones and handing it to a customer.
"Ay, Raphael! Long time no see man, how you been?" Raphael stopped to stare at Alec, a frown on his face, hands on his hips. Magnus coughed a laugh, which made Raphael look over to him.
"Magnus," He walked over and pulled him into a man hug, awkward back pats and all. Alec threw his hands in the air in exasperation. "Nice to see you, friend."
"All Magnus does is look at him and he gets a freaking hug?" Alec complained to Clary in mock anger. Raphael, hearing this, turned around to glare at Alec again.
"I haven't seen Magnus in weeks."
Alec laughed bitterly. "You haven't seen me in weeks—"
"Eh, cállate, go back to work," He walked past Alec to the coffee machine, hitting him lightly in the back of the head on the way and giving Clary a kiss on the cheek. He muttered something like "It's nice to see you, biscuit." She grinned triumphantly at Alec.
Alec shook his head, leaning his elbow on the bright countertop and staring at Raphael as he started up the espresso machine. "I really don't know how you two do it."
Magnus shrugged, going over to the register and taking out a ten dollar bill. Before Clary or Alec could ask what he was doing, he swooped gracefully to the other side, calling out while waving his stolen dollar bill in hand, "Can I get some coffee around here?"
Alec smiled fondly, rolling his eyes.
