I am so sorry this is late. I literally had it ready to be posted, but yesterday was such a busy day I completely forgot. Anyway, it's here now. Hope you enjoy.

Magnus sat by the fire. He'd taken the book when Alec went to read the letter from his sister, and he was now reading through the pages, memorizing each rune and what it could do. It could always come in handy later.

There were quite a lot of runes, it seemed there was a rune for everything. He went through a few pages before he stopped memorising, just looking at the drawings and reading about them. Would Alec ever need all of these? Magnus wondered what Alec would look like covered in runes. The strength rune had looked wonderful on him, Magnus wouldn't deny he'd stared.

Magnus was surprised when he saw there was a firemessage rune. It said it could be drawn on paper and it would be sent to whoever the person was visualizing.

The last page of the book was information about the runes. It said they were a gift from the angels, that only the ones the angels had chosen could take them, that if anyone else tried to they would die or become what the book called a forsaken. It also mentioned that the runes changed color. They were red at first when the skin was still irritated, but according to the book they would turn black in about a week.

Magnus put the book away after a while and looked at the flames. He was bored, so he started playing with them, turning them to different shapes. He looked up at Shadowhunter and Jem, resting in the shadow of a tree. He recreated the image in the flames. Once he finished that he moved on, creating a flower, a tree, basically everything he could see. He tried to make himself sitting around the fire, but he couldn't see himself, so the image wasn't very detailed. Then he decided to draw Alec as well and he turned out great, he looked exactly like him, but somehow still not perfect. The real Alexander was still a lot better.

Just then Alec came out of the tent, and the shape in the fire flickered and disappeared as Magnus stopped concentrating. "Are you okay?" He asked. Alec seemed a bit flushed, almost like when Magnus made him blush.

"I'm fine," he said. "What were you doing?" Alec nodded towards the fire. He had probably seen the image right before it faded away.

"Firepainting," Magnus said with a smile- He still didn't know what had caused Alec to blush like that, but he decided to play along for a little while. "Sit next to me and help me. Tell me what I should draw?"

"You are drawing with fire?" Alec asked as he sat down next to Magnus.

"Yeah, look," Magnus smiled and formed the flames to look like Alec again. Alec looked, his blush disappearing.

"Magnus, that is so… I don't even have words for it." Magnus smiled and changed the picture, Alec riding Shadowhunter at full speed. Magnus had seen it once, and he'd found it beautiful. The memory had been stored away, and now Magnus got to recreate it. "I don't get how anyone could hate magic. It's so beautiful."

"Yeah it is. But I understand that it can be rather dangerous as well," Magnus shrugged.

"Still. People are dangerous, not magic." Magnus just stayed silent. They sat like that for a little while before Magnus looked up again.

"So… what made you blush like that? What did your sister write to you?" he teased.

"Oh, that…" Alec blushed again. "Nothing special. I'll tell you later. We should get going though," Alec said. "Get to a populated place, sleep at a tavern for once. With a comfortable bed."

"I guess you're starting to get tired of sleeping on the ground after what you're used to." Alec had grown up sleeping in a king bed, he was probably missing the quality and comfort of it.

"A bit, but it might not be the main reason"

"Then what is?" Magnus asked, looking curiously at Alec.

"I'll tell you later," Alec said. "Once we get to a tavern."

"Then I guess it's about time we leave," Magnus said. "I've read through the book, so I can tell you during the trip. We don't need to stay here an entire day. It's still somewhat early, so we would get pretty far before sunset."

"If you want to get going, sure," Alec agreed.

"Well, I want to know what your sister wrote you, so yeah I want to get going," he said and stood up. Magnus went to the middle of the camp and snapped his fingers. A few moments later everything started to pack itself up and into bags. Magnus had to say that he was rather proud of himself for being able to do that.

"This is so much better than having to pack it down ourselves!" Alec smiled.

"Well, don't expect me to do it every time. It's my energy going into this, don't forget that," Magnus said. He'd gotten much better, so this didn't tire him much, but it did tear on his energy.

"We'll leave it for days were in a hurry then."

"Or if you we're just feeling lazy," Magnus added.

"No, that'll be every day," Alec joked, chuckling.

"Only now that you know I can do this, before you've done it without complaining."

"It's much easier to do something when you think it's the only way. Now that I know you can just snap your fingers I'll always be lazy."

"Well, I won't be able to do this once we get back, so you gotta get back in shape," Magnus joked.

"Are you saying I'm not in shape?" Alec gasped, playing along.

"Erm… you used to have more of a six pack then a four pack" teased Magnus and moved closer to Alec to lift his shirt a bit. "See? Those two used to be more" he grinned and stroked over two muscles.

"I'm pretty sure they're still there," Alec huffed. "They're just not that defined. I've been too busy cuddling to have my morning training, so this is partly your fault," he said.

"Maybe. But only a tiny bit," Magnus complained and dropped the shirt again. "We have to change that."

"So we'll stop the morning cuddles?" Alec pouted.

"No, it means less morning cuddles and more after training cuddles."

"After training? So… sweaty, sticky cuddles?" grinned Alec who made his way over to the horses.

"After cleaning cuddles," Magnus said then. He followed Alec to the horses. The bags were packed, all they had to do was get them on Shadowhunter and Jem and the gear them up before they could set on their way. That was done in minutes, and soon they left the place behind.

"Now tell me about those things you've read, please?" Alec requestedas they rode next to each other in a steady, not too fast, pace.

"Yeah, of course," Magnus said before he started telling Alec what he'd read. They rode undisturbed through the woods for hours.

The woods ended when the sun started to set, and it was almost completely hidden by the horizont when Magnus and Alec spotted a village. They made their way there as fast as the tired horses went and got there only minutes before the sun disappeared.

"Do you have any idea where we are now? Or where to look for a tavern?" Magnus asked.

"Not really. Let's just get further into the village and look around."Alec suggested, who really had no idea where they were or how to find a place to sleep.

"I'm sure there is some tavern here. And if not we'll camp outside town." They rode further into the village, looking for a house with lights.

"Over there," Magnus said after a while and pointed to a house which had a sign up and still had lights. Alec nodded, and they made their way there. Magnus led the horses to the stables while Alec went inside to get them a room.

The tavern was warm compared to the chilly night air. There was a man standing at the reception.

"Good night," Alec greeted, going up to him. "I would like a double room, two nights, two horses" he said.

"You are very late. I hope you can pay. And I have to say that you are rather lucky. I have only two rooms left."

"I guess fate is on my side. I can definitely pay," Alec assured the man, pulling out his small bag with money.

"Well then. Ten gold coins. Here's the key." Alec handed the man the money and took the key before going out to help Magnus with their stuff.

"So we will stay here?" Magnus asked with a smile. "That's good, because I'm tired and need sleep, just like the horses need some rest."

"Yeah. I got us two nights, so we can rest and… I can tell you about what Izzy wrote."

"That's great. Will you tell me today?" Magnus asked.

"Nope," Alec said and smirked a bit. "Tomorrow. After training."

"Will you keep pushing it away? At first you said you'd tell me at the tavern and now that we are here you are telling me tomorrow," Magnus complained.

"It's just not a good time right now. I will tell you tomorrow, I promise. Let's go to sleep for now." They left the horses in the stable and brought their bags up to their room. It didn't take long before they were both in deep sleep.

They woke up the next day when the sun was shining through the window and onto their faces. Magnus grumbled and turned away, hiding his face against Alec's neck. He didn't want to get up. Not after they got to bed late last night. He heard Alec chuckle and looked up at him. "What's so funny?" He grumbled.

"Less morning cuddles, remember?" Magnus groaned and buried his face in the pillow.

"I said less, not none," he mumbled, the words getting muffles in the pillow and almost impossible to understand.

"We've had some already," Alec said. "Now it's time for training."

"Five minutes, Alexander. I need five minutes"

"Five minutes? And here I thought you wanted me to have a six pack. But you prefer five minutes. I won't complain."

"I would love even without any visible muscles on your stomach. I'd love you if you were twice the size you are now," he told him.

"Let's try to avoid that," Alec chuckled. "Poor Shadowhunter then, carrying both me and the bags." Alec kissed Magnus's temple. "Five minutes, then we go training. You too, Magnus." Magnus groaned again, but agreed. Alec wasn't the only one who needed to be in shape, and it would be more fun if they trained together.

Magnus cuddled himself close to Alec, resting his head on his chest and pressing their bodies together.

"Do I really have to wait till after the training?" he asked.

"Yes. Or we won't get the training done," Alec said. Magnus raised his head.

"Well, now I'm really curious."

"The faster we get the training over the faster you'll know."

"Fine." Magnus untangled himself from Alec and got up. "Come on, I'm waiting."

"Yeah, I'm coming." Alec stood up, pecked Magnus's lips, and went to get some clothes.

They got dressed and went downstairs to get some food before they took the horses for a ride. They found a big, open space about a mile from the village and stopped there. Magnus and Alec trained for a few hours, first with swords, then hand to hand, and a bit of strength training. Alec noticed the rune wasn't helping at all, and Magnus told him they had to be "activated" again after a while.

After a few hours they were both exhausted, and they made their way back to the village. They stopped by a small lake they'd seen on their way to clean themselves up, before they rode the last bit back into town.

"Will you tell me about it now?" Magnus asked as soon as Alec had closed the door behind them.

"Just give me a second, Magnus. Will you?"

"No. I want to know now. I've been waiting for so long. Now tell me," he requested again and moved closer to Alec so he could wrap his arms around him and kiss his cheek. "Tell me."

"Fine," Alec sighed with a grin. "I asked Izzy a few questions in the letter I sent her," Alec said. "She had some very good answers. It's easier if you read it yourself." Alec pulled away from Magnus and went to his bag, where he took out the letter before handing it to Magnus.

At first Magnus was a bit confused as to what it was about, but then he realized.

"Oh my god, Alec! You seriously asked your sister?"

"I had to ask someone. She knows a lot about that and I know she won't tease me to death when I get back." Magnus just shook his head and read on, read about what Izzy knew from herself, and what she'd found out about what they could do. It was interesting. It also made his cheeks heat up at the thought of doing those things with Alec.

"Do you want to do this?" He asked Alec once he was done reading.

"I… if you want, yes. It wouldn't hurt to try at least."

"I'm actually not so sure about this not hurting one of us," Magnus admitted. "But I like how it sounds and I rather like the idea so, yeah, I would want to try this."

"It said it would hurt a little in the beginning, but otherwise it should just feel good."

"She said we would need some kind of oil…"

"I have it," Alec said. "It's from Luke. He… he left a message on it if you want to read it." Once again Alec went to his bag and took out a vial. There was a piece of paper attached to it, and Magnus recognized Luke's handwriting.

Use this oil to make everything easier and less painful. If you run out contact me to get more, or make sure you get some other that won't cause infection or irritate the skin. Be careful with what you choose, and you should preferable just send me a letter.

And just be careful and take things slow. At the beginning at least!

Magnus handed the vial back to Alec with a blush. "I can't believe she asked Luke for help," he muttered.

"Well, I guess she knew that he wouldn't judge us," Alec offered and shrugged his shoulders. "What did he write?"

"He told us to be careful," Magnus said. "When do you want to do this?" He asked to change the subject. "Right now? Or later?"

"Right now? If you want to?" Magnus shrugged and smiled.

"Right now then." He leaned up to kiss Alec, his arms around his neck to pull him down. Alec chuckled a bit before he returned the kiss and Magnus could feel his arms around his middle. It felt amazing to be held like this by Alec. It made Magnus feel special.

Magnus poked his tongue against Alec's lips, asking for permission which was granted almost immediately. He kissed him deeply, their tongues brushing over each other and each of the exploring the other's mouth. After a moment Magnus started pushing Alec lightly to make him move. They made their way to the bed without breaking the kiss, and only stopped to lay down. Magnus crawled into the bed, sitting on his knees over Alec as he leaned down to kiss him again. A moment later he felt Alec's hands reach for the hem of his shirt and he sat up again to pull it off before he kissed Alec again and moved his own hands over Ale'cs chest.

Magnus slipped his hands under Alec's shirt and pulled it off him, his mouth then going to kiss Alec's collarbones and neck. His hand travelled down to palm lightly at Alec's growing erection.

"What part do you want to try?" Magnus asked as he realized they didn't talk about that before.

"I can try to be the bottom today? And then we can switch later?" Alec suggested. He didn't seem very happy about the little breakl but Magnus knew they needed to talk about it and he was sure that Alec also understood.

"Okay. Sounds good," Magnus agreed and kissed Alec again before he moved to his neck again.

Alec's hands were moving all over his body, down his back and thighs, and then up his chest. Magnus was shivering under his touch, leaning into it, craving it. He had read Izzy's letter, but he still wasn't so sure about how to do this. He trusted Alec to tell him when something didn't feel alright or when he wanted something differentm and so he was fairly relaxed about this whole situation. He was excited of course, but not scared.

He started undoing Alec's pants before he pulled them down, leaving Alec in his underwear. Alec's hands moved to Magnus's pants, and he undid the button before slipping his hand inside and under Magnus's underwear, cupping his erection with no layers.

"Get those pants off Magnus. Please I want to feel all of you without any clothing between us," Alec requested. Magnus moaned at the feeling of Alec touching him. He didn't even have to snap his finger, the rest of their remaining clothes disappeared, appearing again in a pile in the corner of the room.

"Wow… that- that was quick," Alec chuckled before he pulled Magnus into a kiss and stopped him from saying anything.

Magnus himself was surprised and amazed by how easy that had been but he decided to just be happy about it and kissed back. He thrust his hips down against Alec's, moaning as their cocks rubbed against each other. He kissed Alec harder and did it again.

"You have to talk to me," he told Alec before he kissed down his neck again. "Tell me when it feels good or bad. Tell me when you want me to change something, do something differently," he explained as he kissed down Alec's chest and stomach. Alec nodded and agreed, promising he would.

Magnus reached Alec's cock and looked up at him to make sure it was okay as he slowly took the head into his mouth.

Alec didn't know what was happening around them, all that counted was Magnus and how he felt and tasted, how he sounded and felt under Alecs touch. He gasped when he felt Magnus's hot mouth around him, and moaned right after. He had never thought about that, not before he had read that letter. Since then he could only think about that, how it would feel and now that he had it… He knew his imagination had been so wrong, it didn't even come close to great it was.

Magnus took more and more into his mouth, and Alec couldn't help but thrust up. Magnus choked and pulled back, and Alec apologized breathlessly.

Magnus coughed a bit and shook his head. "It- It's okay. Just give me a moment."

"Of course! Do you need anything?" Alec askedand reached out to rub Magnus's back gently as the other one calmed down again.

"I'm fine. So, I'd say you liked that?" Magnus grinned once he stopped coughing.

"It's incredible, Magnus. I'll try it on you the next time," he promised and sealed it with a kiss.

"I hope so. Now, lay down. Let's try this oil thing, yeah?"

Alec nodded and took a deep breath as he laid back again. He was nervous. Excited, and he wanted this, but he was still nervous about it. He trusted Magnus and he knew that Magnus would stop if he needed him to, something that Alec found extremely helpful and calming.

He saw Magnus reach for the bottle and also how he hesitated for a moment. Alec wanted to ask when Magnus stood up.

"I'll get a towel, because I think this could be messy and I don't want to ruin the bed. It's not ours so we better be careful with it," Magnus explained.

"Yeah, sure. That's a good idea," Alec agreed and nodded. It made sense and so he relaxed again and waited for Magnus to come back. Alec then lifted his hips so Magnus could place the towel underneath him.

"Okay. So, Ready?" Magnus asked. Alec nodded, spreading his legs and blushing as he thought of what was gonna happen now. He wanted it, he really did. He wasn't sure why he was blushing, maybe because of the way Magnus was looking at him.

He took a deep breath as Magnus coated his fingers with the oil. He couldn't help but gasp when he felt Magnus's fingers on that place. Magnus had barely touched him and it already felt good. Magnus was massaging his hole, waiting for Alec to relax. Alec took a few deep breaths and forced his body to let go. Slowly he felt Magnus's fingers breach in, just to the first knuckle. Alec took a deep breath again and nodded at Magnus, and slowly he pushed more of the finger inside. Soon the whole finger was in, and Magnus stopped to look at Alec. "How do you feel?" He asked.

"It feels kinda weird," Alec said. It didn't feel bad,, it didn't hurt. But it didn't exactly feel good either. It was just weird.

"Does it hurt?" Alec shook his head.

"No, it just feels weird."

"So you want me to continue?" he asked.

"Yeah… yeah, you can move it," Alec said. Magnus started moving his finger slowly, looking at Alec like he was searching for any sign of discomfort. The finger actually didn't feel too bad, and soon Alec was thrusting his hips down to meet the finger. Then suddenly Magnus hit a spot inside him, and Alec's back arched off the bed. "Magnus!" He moaned. "Oh god, do that again."

"What exactly do you mean?"

"That spot, Magnus. Touch it again," Alec said. He felt Magnus feel around inside him till he found that place, this time hitting it with much more pressure. "Fuck," Alec muttered, his head thrown back. "More!"

It felt incredible, even though Alec didn't really know what it was but he didn't care. He closed his eyes and moaned softly as Magnus continued to touch that spot and rub over it.

Magnus kept doing this for a while before he slowly pushed in a second finger. It burned a bit but it wasn't too bad and since Alec knew how it felt when Magnus hit that special spot, he didn't mind. He decided to wait for it to happen again. And he didn't have to wait for long. He cursed and forced his eyes to open so he could see Magnus. He was beautiful and he seemed so focused on this, Alec hoped that Magnus would be enjoying it as much as Alec did.

"How do you feel?" he asked.

"Good. I like this. And you? Is this okay?" Magnus asked.

" it is amazing," Alec nodded and smiled encouragingly. "Please keep going," he requested.

Magnus didn't answer but instead moved his fingers again. He also kept teasing that spot and Alec just loved it. It was a good thing that it hurt again when Magnus added a third finger, because that brought Alec away from the edge again. At some point Magnus added more of the oil and it made everything a lot easier and slicker. Magnus stopped after a while and pulled his fingers out. It felt weird to not have anything in anymore, but Alec knew that would change soon.

"Are you sure? And ready for this?" Magnus asked. Alec loved how Magnus constantly checked if he was okay, it showed him again that Magnus cared about his feelings and wellbeing and it made him feel so loved.

"Yes, Magnus I want this. And I am ready. You've spend a lot of time… preparing me for this. I'm ready and I'm sure."

"Okay," Magnus nodded and reached for the oil again to pour some over his erection. It was rather a lot bigger then then fingers and Alec worried for a moment, but he trusted Magnus and so he forced himself to relax as Magnus spread his legs a bit further, positioned himself and then slowly guided his cock into Alec.

It was a lot. But Alec breathed through it and Magnus moved slowly, so it was alright. It did take rather a long time and once Magnus was fully in he stopped and Alec had the chance to get used to the feeling.

"Alexander are you okay?"

"Yes. I'm good. Just give me a moment."

"As long as you need."

And then Magnus didn't move at all, something Alec was thankful for.

After a little while he nodded and reached for Magnus's arms. "Kiss me when you start moving," he told him.

Magnus did just that, and Alec loved the distraction because at first it burned but soon it started to feel rather good and after a few slow thrusts from Magnus he hit that spot again and Alecs eyes rolled back as he moaned in pleasure. He had never thought something like this could feel so amazing.

Magnus pulled back from the kiss to let out a moan. "You feel so good around me, Alexander," he said, lips brushing against Alec's as he spoke.

"Magnus, God, don't stop. More, please," Alec begged, thrusting down against Magnus's cock, his legs wrapped around Magnus's waist. Magnus sped up his thrusts and adjusted his hips so he kept hitting that spot. It didn't take long for Alec to come close to the edge again.

"Magnus I… Oh, I'm so close,," he warned and gripped his shoulders tightly.

"It's okay, me too. Let go Alec. It's okay."

Alec nodded quickly and a few moments later he buried his nails in Magnus's shoulders as he arched his back and came over their stomachs.

If anyone would ask him what happened next or how it felt, Alec would not be able to answer. A second after his climax, Magnus came as well and the feeling was overwhelming. It was so much at once that Alec feared he might pass out for a moment. Luckily he didn't.

Magnus was sweaty and he was panting heavily as he pulled out and lay down next to Alec. Alec turned to look at him, smiling at the beautiful picture he made. "That was awesome," he said once he'd caught his breath. He could feel some of Magnus's come sliding out of him and onto the towel. He was suddenly glad Magnus had placed it there, or they really would have made a mess of the bed.

Magnus was exhausted but he felt amazing. This must have been the greatest thing he had ever done. He was happy and he was so glad to have done this with Alec, who seemed to be rather happy about the situation as well. Magnus looked down on himself and chuckled.

"I should go and get us a wet cloth to clean us up, or everything will stick in the morning," he mumbled and tried to make himself stand up.

"I'll go," Alec said. "You just lay down." He sat up and felt a slight ache on his lower back, but he stood up anyway and made his way to their bags, where he grabbed a towel before coming back.

"Are you okay?" Magnus asked as he looked after Alec. "You're limping."

"I'm fine," Alec assured him. "Just stings a bit."

"I think I can help. Come back to bed, I'll get the cloth wet and then I'll look something up," Magnus said.

"Look something up? What do you mean?" Alec asked.

"Go in my bag. Take out my diary." Alec did and brought it back to the bed. Getting the cloth wet was no problem, it was just a different way of summoning. All he had to do was summon some water into the cloth. Taking away Alec's pain though, that would be harder, but first he made sure that they were both clean and then he kissed Alec.

"So… lay down now and relax, yeah?" he told Alec.

"Yeah. What do you need your diary for though?"

"Well, it's not a diary. It's a spellbook," he admitted. He had been afraid but now he hoped Alec would be okay with it. After all he seemed to enjoy Magnus's magic.

"A spell book?" Alec repeated. "Really? Let me see!" He said, excited. Magnus opened the book. It was dull and boring on the outside after Luke had to change the binding, but inside it was beautiful, with lots of colors and drawings.

"Yeah a spellbook. Look," he said as opened it so Alec could look inside. "It has all the spell in there that I used so far. Usually you don't need the words after a while or if you used them often. Then it's enough to think it and it happens, but now I want to look for a spell to help you with the pain and then we should take a nap. This has been rather exhausting," he admitted.

"Yeah, it has. You… you don't have to heal me. I kinda like it. It's not too bad and it reminds me of what just happened."

"Well then, let's sleep and I'll check when we wake up, based on how you feel, yeah?" Magnus suggested.

"Sounds like a great plan," Alec agreed and cuddled against Magnus after he reached for the blanket to cover them both. "Sleep well Magnus," he hummed.

"Sleep well Alexander. And thank you for this, it was amazing," Magnus whispered, wrapping his arms around Alec before he closed his eyes.
