A/N: This is for Day 7 - Missing Scene. This is also posted on Ao3 and tumblr.
After their day spend in Tokyo and Prague, Alec and Magnus just wanted to relax and enjoy each other's company. Magnus still had the special gift that Alec had gotten him in Tokyo, and he would always keep it close to his heart. It had been such a long time since anyone had gotten him any sort of gift, that he forgot what it felt like to receive one.
As Magnus was pouring two glasses of wine for him and Alec, Alec said, "Hey Magnus, come out here onto the balcony, it's beautiful out."
"I'm coming." Magnus said as he walked outside with the glasses of wine. Handing Alec one of the glasses he said, "Here you go, my good sir."
"Thank you." Alec said. Magnus has noticed that Alec seems to enjoy wine a lot more than the other alcoholic beverages that he has tried to give him. He couldn't blame him though, he admittedly had very strong taste.
"Wow, look at those stars. It looks so beautiful." Magnus said in awe.
"I thought you would like it." Alec said, his hand resting gently on Magnus's shoulder.
"Oh, you did, did you?"
Alec chuckled and guided Magnus toward the small couch. "Let's go sit down."
The two of them sat down with their glasses of wine, and just enjoyed the evening breeze. Magnus sat leaning against Alec's chest and shoulder with his leg tucked underneath him, and Alec sat with his arm around Magnus's shoulders and his legs crossed. They just sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes.
"Alexander, I realize I never really got to thank you properly for that lovely gift you got me."
"What do you mean? You did thank me." Alec said, confused.
"Yes, but not in the way I truly wanted to. I've been thinking about some things I haven't thought about in a long time."
"Ok. You can say whatever it is you need to. I'm listening."
Magnus smiled and said, "Believe it or not, you're the first person I've dated that has gotten me a gift in a long time. I've gotten my other lovers gifts, but it never crossed anyone else's minds to also get me one. It's not like I gave them those gifts expecting something in return, or anything like that, I'm just saying that it would've been nice, you know?" Alec hummed in agreement. "I guess what I've realized is that I wasn't as special to those other lovers as they were to me." Magnus said, sadness creeping into his voice.
Magnus heard Alec take a deep breath behind him. "You're special to me, Magnus." Alec said quietly.
"What did you say?" Magnus asked, shocked.
"I said that you're special to me. I won't be like those other people who didn't treat you right, I promise. I hate that you had to feel that way because of those selfish, ungrateful people. They didn't deserve someone amazing as you." Alec said softly.
Magnus, at a loss for words, leaned over to press a kiss to Alec's neck and his cheek, and rested his forehead against his face. "Thank you so much, Alexander, that means a lot coming from you."
Instead of speaking, Alec reached over to take the wine glass from Magnus, and place both of their glasses on the table next to them. Alec then leaned in to kiss Magnus softly and deeply. Magnus didn't know what he did to deserve someone as wonderful as this man right here, but he decided not to question it, and just let himself get swept up in the feeling.
