Hey guys! Yay a faster update! I got SUCH positive reviews on the last chapter (thank you so so so much) that I was really motivated to get this up quicker! This chapter occurs about 7 months into the boys relarionship :)

Magnus shuffled around the hunreds of bodies flling the theatres lobby. It was like he was stuck in a sea of grandparents and little girls sporting ballet buns and a too bright glint in their eye. He didnt expect anything else really, the ABT was bound to draw a crowd, and he could'nt help but smile when he thought of his boyfriend being in the reason everyone was here.

Alec had danced exceptionally tonight. He had a small solo and several peices danced with the group, and even when he was standing to the side, feet in first position and mouth stretched into an easy smile, Magnus had not been able to draw his eyes away from the beautiful boy he called his boyfriend.

"Alec I was so ON tonight, did you see how on I was?"

Alec smiled to himself and burried his head into Will's shoulder.

The company was undergoing its post-show ritual, to create a hudle and offer praise to each of its members. Alec was sandwhiched between Will and another dancer named Isaac, Will gushing to anyone who would listen about how happy he was with his performance tonight.

"You were great Will, probably your best all season."

"That's what I thought!" He exclaimed, and with that the hudle was dispanded and everyone filtered back to their respected dressing rooms.

Alec stayed with Will as they walked back to their shared change room.

"Looking forward to seeing Magnus?" Will quipped, running ahead before turning to face Alec while walking backwards. "Looking forward to the S-E-X!" He spelled out ethusatically before disapearing into their room.

Shaking his head, Alec continued down the hallway, while Will was obnoxious and rude at some points, he could also be genuinely caring and protective of people he liked. Alec was just glad he was one of those people.

Magnus had been waiting for about 30 minutes. Alec had texted him that afternoon telling him it took a while to get away from backstage, what with the cleen up and changing and taking his makeup off. Magnus didn't really mind. Although he had waited 4 weeks for this moment, he could stomach waiting for another our or so.

Alec being on tour was hard to handle at the best of times. They had only been dating about 4 weeks before he went away for the first time. Their relationship had still been new and afresh, but Magnus had missed him like crazy and even though it was only for a week and half (ABT was going to Canada!) it was torture.

After the first time it got easier. Alec was absent for another two weeks just after their 3 month aniversary, and again on the actual date of their 5th. By now Magnus was used to it, and the best part was that it didnt take its toll on them whatsoever. Alec was always welcomed back in the best way possible (between the sheets) and Magnus was always showered with eccentric presents. (He never complained).

He had been going through the album on his phone filled with pictures of Alec laughing (yes he had a folder for that-shut up if you could see it-) when a pair of black sweat-pant clad legs appeared right infront of him. He glanced up and broke out into a grin whe he saw those blue eyes smiling back at him.

"Hello stranger." Alec whispered before yanking Magnus into a standing position by his collar and kissing him full on the mouth.

Magnus made a noise of surprise low in his throat, which was quickly followed by one of content as he slipped his mobile into his jacket pocket and wound his fingers into Alec's hair.

"I've- I've missed- umph- missed you- sigh- alot." Alec managed to gasp out between Magnus' furious attacks on his mouth. They both carried on with this for a while before Alec pulled away laughing.

"Okay, okay, that's enough." He said, while wrappng his arms around Magnus' torso and laying his head against his chest.

"You were wonerful tonight darling."

Alec tilted his chin up to look at Magnus' face. "You think so?"

"Baby, I know so."

"So." Alec drawled, his head resting on Magnus' bare chest, the sheets tangled around his knees.

The pair of them had gone to dinner, before retiring back to their hotel room where they had had sex in the bed, in the shower, in the bath and on the carpet in the main room. Magnus wasn't sorry. They now lay in bed, Alec didn't seem to get tired after making love, and often liked to cuddle and talk. Magnus tried to comply with that when he didn't fall asleep the moment he curled up with the boy.

"So indeed." Magnus said, his hand playing with the top of Alec's hair. He couldn't help it, it was just so soft.

"I can't believe you came to Italy to see me." Alec whispered, turning on Magnus' chest so they could face each other. He carefully rest his chin on Magnus' sternum while his eyes fluttered closed.

"Well I missed you."

"I missed you more."

Magnus rolled his eyes, "This is NOT turning into one of those fights Alec. I'm too tired," Alec raised his eyebrows, "and besides, there's no point arguing as I know I'm right."

Alec chucked at this, slipping sideways until he was settled at Magnus' side and had their ankles tangled together. Magnus knew this was a sign he was ready to sleep.

"Oh really now?" Alec asked, his lips drawn up into a small smile.

"Really."
