When they both woke it was new, together they stayed, linking fingers and tangling legs. Waking up entangled with Magnus was normal now. It was a normal that he wasn't used to, it was a normal that scared him so badly, but it made him so happy. It had been a year cense their first kiss, it had been so reckless, and so new for Alec. The days after that he had felt loved for the first time in his life, he felt important. The love that Magnus gave to him wasn't something that a sister or brother could give, no when Magnus loved him it felt like a whole new world. Being able to hold someone when the day was in tangles, or being able to have someone touch your skin when you think you can't feel anything.
"Well you are up early." Magnus said to Alec. Alec had woken with up the loft with a scream in the night, the moon shone in through a curtained window and Alec's heart beat fast. The Chairman walked not the room, the cat looked angered and tired as it hopped onto the bed. Magnus's eyes were foggy and he looked stunned, his cat eyes glowing in the midnight light.
"I'm sorry. Nightmares." Alec said to him before he fell back into the covers. Magnus moved closer to him, long and slender, every limb in Magnus's body was elegant in its own way. Alec reached his hand out to touch Magnus's face, for a second they looked at each other. Magnus saw the ghost of fear drifting around in Alec's eyes, it made him un easy.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Magnus asked him softly. Another pause before the other one spoke.
"It was me growing old." He said, Alec's words hung in the air. Still and ugly, they both knew that the time would come. That time itself would chew at Alec's bones and make his ink black hair turn to white. But time would never though Magnus, not it would leave him the same, it would leave him behind to watch his boyfriend grow old.
"Age is only a number." Magnus said, but he felt it, the unknown time that they would have to spend, the unknown time that he would have with Alec.
"But when happens when I can't walk anymore? What happens when my skin sags and I can't remember your face? What happens when you stay the same and I have to grow without you?" It was only a second, but that was all Alec needed, his pain fell out of his lungs and into Magnus's ears.
"I love you no matter what." Magnus said to him. He reached out and touched Alec's hands.
"I love your hands, even if they stop working." Magnus bought Alec's hand up to his lips and kissed each finger.
"I love you checks, and I love your nose, eyes, skin, and lips." Magnus leaned in for a small kiss every time he spoke. Alec shut his eyes and waited for Magnus's lips to tough his own. The small amount of space, the distance between them, it felt like miles.
"It's to late tonight." Alec said his breath was heavy.
"Really?" Magnus said but Alec couldn't reply. Magnus had pulled himself on top of the other boy. His legs on each side of him, keeping him safe in-between him. They kisses. Alec reached up and pulled Magnus's hair and Magnus held Alec's face as they kissed. Magnus broke away for a second, pulling the covers over his head and he moved in-between Alec's legs. Alec let out a screech as Magnus touched him. His skin was on fire as Magnus's head bobbed and moved under the sheets.
"Really?' Alec almost screamed as Magnus stopped and taunted him from underneath.
"Ah Magnus!" Alec screeched.
"What?" Magnus said, his voice still muffled a little. But he come back from under the covers.
"I'm going to kill you!" Alec said as he hit the pillow.
"Well it is getting to late." Magnus said with a grin. He like to watch Alec squirm.
"I didn't even finish." Alec said disappointedly.
"Wops. Well you better do something about that because I'm tired and going to sleep good night." Magnus laugh to himself as he heard Alec grumble and move to the bathroom. Good luck, Magnus thought, as he shut his eyes and smiled as he imagined what Alec was doing in the bathroom.
