Magnus stared at Alec wrapped up securely in his arms, legs entangled amongst each other's, his eyes intent on capturing every second. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, nothing was too sped up or slipped past Magnus's line of vision. Alec smiled to Magnus, his hand reaching out to brush at his silky hair. Just looking into Alec's eyes caused Magnus's heart to stutter, his mind racing to remember to tell him how to catch his breath again. Inside Magnus could feel butterflies floating around his abdomen, his own lips responding to Alec's smile with a smile of his own. "Alexander."

Magnus whispered, his arms reaching to draw Alec even closer, it was a desperate attempt but Alec enjoyed closing even more distance. "I don't think we've ever done this before." Again Magnus trailed his eyes along Alec's features, foolishly trying to memorize every line and curve of his jaw and neck, down to his collarbone until his shirt covered up the rest of the skin. His eyes then traced back up to Alec's own eyes which were now closed, unconsciously he hummed as response to Magnus which made Magnus' smile broaden. Leaning forward, he peppered delicate kisses along Alec's jaw, his own eyes closing to preserve just the feeling as well, as though maybe if needed in the future he could recreate it. Magnus was left awestruck and amazed at how Alec seemed to be capable of drawing such complex emotions from the Warlock with a simple smile. Magnus drew in a sharp breath as Alec placed his hand gingerly on Magnus's caramel chest so he could feel his heart racing as well. "Magnus, I love you."

Magnus grinned, nuzzling his nose into the crook of Alec's neck, his eyes opening only to gaze back up to him. Magnus couldn't think of ever possibly leaving in this moment for any reason ever, it seemed Alec's arms could always lift away all the Warlocks unease, and he did, unbeknownst to himself. Alec seemingly doubted everything Magnus did, he was curious and confused all the same. If Magnus told him how attractive he was Alec would spend all day trying to convince Magnus otherwise, if Magnus told Alec he loved him he'd have to repeat it at least a hundred times before Alec would actually begin to believe him. All his shy and uncertain traits only made him more endearing, Magnus wasn't afraid having to move slower, or having to be gentle with his emotions, not that he'd ever want to say anything to hurt him, but he wouldn't rush this, the feeling he received just by taking it slow was this euphoric bliss.

Magnus was overcome with glee, and he could still vividly recall their first kiss, and Alec's first attempt directly after that. His sloppy failed try that held Magnus on edge and kept him up all night thinking of it. He couldn't stop envisioning Alec that night, and softly he'd touch his lips in utter confusion. Now he fully understood, he wasn't ashamed of having fallen for Alec so hard so quickly. He wanted to drown in his love for Alec, and didn't feel ashamed when it did wash over him and suffocate him. Unfortunately he couldn't do the same for Alec, Alec was far too shy and gentle, Magnus didn't want to scare him with his overwhelming feelings, so instead he held onto precious moments like this one. Something that was such a simple gesture but would go down in history forever within Magnus's mind.

There was more than what Magnus believed, that this was more than a coincidental miracle, no, this was a divine conspiracy. This was heaven rewarding them with such a brilliant prize, each other. The universe planned against Magnus and Alec, forced them to meet, and in that one glance- those two seconds that their eyes locked- they both fell madly in love with the other, each too stubborn to admit what they might possibly feel. Again Magnus regarded his surroundings, stifling laughter as he watched his dearest love fail to fight off sleep. He startled at Magnus's movement though, his hand reaching out to cup the males face. "Magnus? Are you leaving?"

Magnus shook his head as he leaned down to kiss Alec for what he'd only intended on being a moment, but the universe, again, had different plans. It remained a sweet kiss, but neither could pull the strength together to break apart, instead they stayed locked together, heads swimming and dizzying from the intoxicating kiss. Magnus couldn't think of a moment he'd rather remember more, other than the first time they'd met at all. Magnus pulled back, his eyes gazing across at Alec with total adoration. "I love you Magnus Bane."

Magnus chuckled slightly, leaning forward to press a kiss against Alec's head. "I love you more." Alec smiled and locked eyes with Magnus. "I love hearing you say that."

"Then I'll say it more often, I love you." Magnus whispered as he drifted off into a peaceful sleep, his arms unconsciously tightening around Alec.
