They left the restaurant an hour later. After kissing for a while, they had sat back and eaten, chatting about simple things, smiling at each other. All the tension between them was finally gone and everything felt simple and peaceful. Magnus hadn't felt that happy in way too long.

"Why don't you come over for a while?" He proposed not wanting the night to end so soon. "You said no one's going to look for you, right?"

"Yeah." Alec nodded. "And if they will, Izzy will cover for me."

"Great. I'd like to make you another cocktail, I know you hated the last one." He chuckled, and Alec smiled at him.

"Okay."

~o~

"Make yourself at home." Magnus said after they entered his loft, as he went to the mini-bar to make them some drinks. And then it clicked. "Alexander? Were you here yesterday?" He asked wanting to make sure even though he had already guessed the answer.

"Yes…" Alec blushed. "I'm sorry I let myself in but you hang up on me and I heard a crash and was worried about you."

"You were worried?" Magnus asked, his eyes wide. "For me?"

"Of course." Alec frowned. "Why do you sound so surprised?"

'Because no one cared before…' Biting back the truth, Magnus cleared his throat. "I'm the High Warlock of Brooklyn. You don't need to worry about me."

"Really?" Alec raised an eyebrow at him. "So I needn't worry that you were passed out in the couch drunk, you feet bleeding from stepping on broken glass?"

Magnus looked away, stubbornly crossing his arms over his chest. "No. You needn't."

"Not even if it is my fault?"

"Especially then!" He snapped. "I don't need you to feel sorry for me Alexander! Is that why you're here? Out of guilt? If that's all, you don't have to force yourself."

"Of course I feel guilty!" Alec shouted back. "But that's not why I'm here!"

"Then why?"

"I wanted to apologise stupid!" Alec snapped too. "I wanted to tell you I'm sorry for being such an asshole before, and-!" He stopped. "Raziel… And here I am doing it again…" He hid his face in his hands shaking his head. "I keep ruining everything…" He muttered.

"Alexander."

Alec dropped his hands and sighed looking at Magnus. "I'll leave if you want me to…"

Magnus shook his head 'no'. "Please stay. But only if you really want to."

"There is nothing I want more…" Alec said in a low voice. "That's why I came. I wanted to apologise of course, but I also wanted to see you. I missed you."

"It's settled then." Magnus smiled falling back on the couch and pulling Alec with him, the drinks forgotten. They didn't need them after all.

The Shadowhunter scooted closer to him, looking at his face. "I really am sorry…" He repeated. "I never wanted to hurt you…"

"I know… It's okay darling, those things happen I guess." He said kissing his forehead. "I just had forgotten. It's been too long."

Alec sighed blissfully, leaning into his touch, but muttered. "It was still awful of me… Especially after all you did for us."

"It's over now." Magnus crooned. "And you made up for it already." He pulled back to look in his eyes. "More than sufficiently. No one has ever done that for me." He confessed in a low voice.

"No way."

"Yes way babe."

"But…"

"It doesn't matter Alexander." He said sensing the boy's distress. "The past is in the past. All that matters now is the present."

"Then…" Alec dropped his eyes on Magnus' hands, fidgeting with one of his rings. "Are you happy now?"

The Warlock pushed his chin up gently to meet his eyes, and gave him a tender smile. "Yes. I am very happy. And it's because of you."

Alec gasped softly, his eyes widening. "I… uh… I'm glad." He blushed. "Me too…I'm really happy…"

"That's good to hear sayang." Magnus smiled.

Alec nodded, still a little embarrassed. "What does that mean? Sayang?"

"Who knows~" Magnus teased, smirking playfully and the Nephilim pouted making him laugh. "I could tell you…" He trailed off. "But of course, I require payment. In advance. You know the rules sweetheart."

"Is that so?" Alec asked, leaning closer, their noses almost touching.

"I'm afraid so." Magnus' smirk grew.

"Too bad." Alec said, pulling back a little, noticing with satisfaction the disappointment in the Warlock's eyes. "I'm not that curious." He said cockily and Magnus pouted making Alec chuckle softly.

"Just kidding." He grabbed his shirt and closed the distance between them, kissing him with all he had.

Not expecting it, Magnus gasped in surprise before regaining his cool and kissing him back enthusiastically, wrapping his arms around his neck.

"Was that enough?" Alec breathed against his lips, once they separated to breathe.

"I don't know…" Magnus replied dazed by the kiss. "It is a pretty important piece of information…"

The Shadowhunter's eyes burned both with curiosity and desire and he kissed him again.

"How about now?" He asked again, while they both struggled to regain their breath once more.

"I guess…" Magnus whispered. "I shouldn't be too greedy."

"I don't mind." Alec smirked, loving the effect he had on him, pecking his lips briefly. "Not at all."

"That's good."

"So?"

"So?" Magnus mirrored. "Wait, what were we talking about?" He asked genuinely confused for a moment, making the Nephilim laugh.

"So" Alec repeated. "What does Sayang mean?"

"Oh." The Warlock gave him a tender smile. "It means 'my beloved'."

Alec blushed, biting his lip not knowing what to say, making Magnus stare, thinking he was completely endearing. "What is it?" Alec finally asked changing the subject embarrassed noticing he was staring at him. "Is there something wrong with my face?" He said worried, making Magnus laugh.

"You're adorable."

"I'm not adorable!" He complained. "I'm a Shadowhunter!"

"Oooh. Is that so? So Shadowhunters can't be adorable?" He teased.

"Of course not. We hunt demons for a living for Angel's sake…"

Magnus snickered. "Well darling… You are not like the others. You can be adorable, and you are."

"Is that so?" Alec pouted, repeating Magnus' words, before sobering up and kissing him hard, tangling his fingers through his raven hair, pulling gently at it.

Magnus eyes widened, his glamour slipping revealing their true appearance for a moment, and then he closed them, kissing him back breathlessly.
