A/N: I'm thinking double date for the next chapter and Ragnor meeting Alec for the first time~
Magnus and Alec giving it a go at being normal. Will it last?
25:
Alec drank some of his coffee and settled back in his chair as he watched Magnus lounge outside in the hammock through the windows of the beach house. He was wearing his purple silk robe with a pair of black boxer briefs. One leg dangling over the edge of the hammock swinging back and forth and a cigarette between his fingers.
"It's nice here," Alec said getting up and joining him. "Quiet."
"I told you that you'd like it," Magnus smiled as Alec joined him in the hammock.
Alec rolled his eyes and put his arm around him. "We could always stay here...start over."
"It's to small a town...and no decent shopping centers," Magnus wrinkled his nose.
"But we could have a house...a nice house...maybe get a dog-"
"Live the white picket fence life?" Magnus interrupted.
"It sounds kinda appealing right?" Alec asked looking at him. "We could have a normal life..."
"Normal as in you don't kill anyone and I don't accompany you on said kills? We live in a house with a picket fence, you get a normal job, I'll be the trophy husband you've always dreamed of?"
"Sounds crazy when you put it that way," Alec chuckled. "But it's not a bad idea right? Maybe even one day we could adopt?"
"You...really want to do this?" Magnus asked. "Be a normal couple?"
"I do..." Alec nodded. "It...sounds appealing to me."
Magnus smiled and moved to sit with either leg on either side of him and leaned down to give him a kiss. "If it sounds appealing to you then it sounds appealing to me. Let's give it a shot."
"You mean that?" Alec asked.
"Of course I do," Magnus answered.
Alec leaned up and kissed him wrapping his arms around his neck. "I love you."
