They returned home a little after nightfall and after feeding Chairman Meow they put the kids to bed. Alec tucked them in telling them a story while Magnus accompanied his lover's narration creating pictures with magic. Once the boys were asleep, they tiptoed out of the room, heading to the living room where Magnus sat down on the couch sighing.
"I'm exhausted." Alec said flopping down on the couch too, laying his head on Magnus' lap.
"Me too…" Magnus said running his fingers through his fiancé's raven locks making him sigh contently. "It was a long day. And we woke up too early."
Alec chuckled softly. "You and mornings Mags... But you're right, we-" An involuntary yawn cut him off and Magnus laughed.
"We should go to bed." Magnus completed his sentence.
"In a little bit..." Alec said snuggling closer and taking one of Magnus' hands and kissing it, as his fiancé kept running the other through his hair. "It's so comfy here..." He muttered completely blissful. "I think I'm in Heaven..."
Magnus looked down at his Shadowhunter with adoration, wondering how it was actually possible to love him more every passing second. He leaned closer to press a kiss on his hair, then resumed his soothing movements. Soon Alec was out like a light, a soft smile lingering on his lips as he still held onto Magnus' hand.
In all his long years Magnus had never believed he'd be able to have that kind of ultimate, unadultered happiness one day. And then Alec came along, descending in his life like a true angel, effortlessly giving him everything he hadn't dared wish for, and more. He came along like the sun after a too-long night, to shed light into his darkness. To make his life worth living again.
This was truly Heaven.
