I own nothing!
Alec and Magnus reached Alec's flat 15 minutes after they left the coffee shop. Alec opened slowly, almost shyly, the front door of his place. He was nervous, to tell the truth. He had been nervous at the coffee shop when he asked Magnus if he would like to come, but he was even more nervous now that they were actually here. He half expected Magnus to reject his offer and that they would part ways at the coffee shop, but he had no such luck. It didn't bother him. He actually wanted Magnus to be here. After such an eventful day, he just wanted to go home, lie down on the sofa, and watch TV. But he also wanted to spend more time with Magnus. Even though they had spent the whole day together, he couldn't find the courage to stay away from him. And it scared Alec to the core. He had had crushed before. He had fallen for people before as well…but never like this. Magnus had fascinated him from the very first day he saw him working on his laptop at the coffee shop. He had been so mesmerized by the sight of the beautiful man he wanted to keep that moment in his memory forever…and so he had taken a photo, a photo that he had kept. As the days went by and he started working for Magnus, both of them got to know each other a whole lot more. They had taken fast trust with each other and now they were almost inseparable. They both knew the darkest secrets of each other and it just seemed to connect them even more than before. And now Alec couldn't keep himself away from that man. He felt empty and alone when he wasn't with Magnus. The sparkly man now took most of his thoughts and he could relate everything that happened with him. It was much more than a simple crush and it scared him because he had never felt this way before.
Magnus wasn't so different from Alec. He was scared as well of how things were going with Alec. To say he was amazed by the young boy would be an understatement. Magnus loved every single part of the boy and he couldn't keep himself away from him. Every day left Magnus wanting much more from Alec and it scared him because it wasn't lust…something he was used feeling towards others. Magnus had been around and dated many times, but none led to a serious relationship. Most of them lasted no more than a week and he had been content with that, until he met the dark-haired beauty. To Magnus, everything about Alec was perfect, and he feared he was falling in love with the boy…after so much time he had never really loved anyone and it scared him because it was an unknown feeling for him.
"Are you going to come in or do you prefer standing there all day?" Alec asked with amusement in his eyes. Magnus noticed he had been standing at the door staring at Alec who was already inside the flat and waiting for him to walk in.
"I don't know" Magnus said looking at the frame door "I rather like it here"
"You're crazy" Alec chuckled walking inside the flat, not bothering to see if Magnus followed.
Magnus, of course, followed after the boy. He had a huge grin drawn on his face and it only widened as he looked around the place.
"Of course" Magnus said rolling his eyes "Books everywhere"
"What can I say?" Alec shrugged "I love books"
"That I can tell" Magnus said "Have you actually read all of them?"
"Of course" Alec said with a nod "The ones I haven't are in my study"
"You have a study?" Magnus asked raising an eyebrow
"It was supposed to be a guest room" Alec said with a shrug "But I never have guests and I rather use it as a study"
"So if anyone ever were to stay here…."
"They can have the couch…or my room. Depends who that person is" Alec shrugged one more time "Anyways, would you like a tour?"
Magnus agreed and Alec started to guide him around his small flat. He showed him the living room and the kitchen. There was no dining room since there wasn't space and, since Alec lived alone, he ate in the kitchen. Alec then moved to show Magnus his study.
Magnus was amazed as he walked inside the room. There were high bookshelves on one side of the room, all of them filled with books of different sizes and colors. There was a small desk right in front of the window and on the other side of the room stood a massive cork wall. It was filled with different photos about everything. Places, people, things, whatever you wanted there was a photo in that wall.
"Wow" Magnus gasped as he looked at the wall filled with photos "Are all of those yours?"
"Yeah" Alec said rubbing the back of his neck "The photos I don't post in my blog I print them and put them there…Only the ones I like, of course"
"They are amazing!" Magnus exclaimed looking at each photo carefully "How come you haven't published any of this?"
"They're not good enough" Alec answered with a shrug.
"You're kidding right?" Magnus asked turning to look at Alec "They are brilliant! People should be filling outside your door asking for your photos!"
"I rather if they don't" Alec said with a blush "I prefect working quietly…just for the magazine and my blog"
"Well when your pictures are published in my magazine in the next couple of days, people will love them"
Alec blushed even more and turned to look away. He was able to calm down a bit as Magnus kept looking at all the photos with amazement.
"How come you don't have a single photo of yourself?" Magnus asked "I can see your siblings, some of your parents, and other people I don't recognize…but you are not in any of them"
"I'm always behind the camera" Alec shrugged "The photographer never appears"
"Well I want a picture of you!" Magnus declared.
"Not happening" Alec said shaking his head
"Oh come on" Magnus pouted "I need one for my nightstand"
"You want a picture of me in your nightstand?" Alec asked raising an eyebrow, his cheeks painting with a rosy color.
"Of course" Magnus said "But it can be of both of us, what do you say?"
"I'm not-"
"Fantastic!" Magnus exclaimed before Alec could finish his sentence.
Magnus walked over Alec's desk where Alec had put his camera when they had walked into the room. He took it in his hands carefully. He had never taken the camera before. In fact, he had never seen anyone but Alec taking this camera. Alec hadn't called him off, so he guessed that was a good thing. He turned it on and took a quick snap of Alec.
"Hey!" Alec exclaimed noticing what Magnus had done
"Awn you look so cute" Magnus said looking down at the small screen.
"Delete it!" Alec said reaching over Magnus's shoulder to look at the camera
"But I captured your blush perfectly!" Magnus said "I'm keeping it"
"It is my camera" Alec pointed out
"But you wouldn't be able to delete it because you know I love it so much" Magnus smirked "Now come over here so I can take the picture"
Alec sighed but let himself be led by Magnus all the same. He stood next to Magnus who wrapped an arm around his waist and brought him closer to him. Magnus held the camera high so they would both appear and took a photo as they grinned at the camera.
"No!" Magnus exclaimed seeing the photo "I look horrible"
"You're not deleting it" Alec said "I like it and I'm keeping it"
"Fine" Magnus pouted "But I want another one for my nightstand"
Alec rolled his eyes but stood next to Magnus all the same. The elder man embraced Alec like he had done with the first photo and held the camera high once again. Alec smiled a little at the camera as Magnus was about to take the photo. Just as he clicked the button, Magnus turned his face and kissed Alec's cheek.
The shot was perfect. Magnus had his eyes closed and his lips gently pressed against Alec's cheek. Alec looked surprised, his eyes a bit wide, and there was a small blush on his cheeks.
"Perfect" Magnus purred looking at the camera "We have to get this printed"
"It'll take a while" Alec said clearing his throat "I took the printed to get fixed and I won't get it back 'till next week"
"Awn" Magnus pouted "You need one of those cameras that print the photo instantly…you know, one of those old fashioned cameras"
"They are called Polaroid" Alec said "And I've always wanted one…never had the money to buy one, though"
"That's too bad" Magnus sighed turning off the camera and putting it away. "Anyways, let's do something! Do you have any movie we could watch?"
They both made their way to the living room and choose a movie to watch together. It was starting to get dark but none had intentions of getting away from each other. They sat down on the sofa in front of the TV and watched the movie quietly. They had gotten some snacks and something to drink as they watched it.
They sat next to each other, but they were too far away for Magnus's liking. Magnus scooted a bit closer to the black-haired boy hoping he didn't notice. Alec did, of course, but didn't mind. He actually shifted a little so they were now shoulder-to-shoulder. Magnus smirked wrapping his arm around Alec's shoulder and bringing him even closer towards his body. Alec flushed scarlet but made no objection to move and instead lay down slightly against Magnus.
They both pretended to watch the movie, but they didn't know what was going on anymore. They were too distracted with each other to pay attention. Suddenly they both looked at each other. Alec looked up to meet Magnus's eyes as he stared down at him. Magnus smiled slightly, making the boy in his arms blush but smile back nonetheless.
"This is my chance" Magnus thought as he stared into Alec's deep blue eyes "No distraction this time"
And so he leaned closer to Alec. The boy's eyes widened a bit as he noticed, but then he started leaning up as well. Their foreheads touched as did their noses. Alec could feel Magnus's breath against his face and it made him blush harder, but he had no intentions to pull back. He wanted this. He had wanted it for a long time and he was finally getting it.
They both leaned even closer, closing the gap between them as their lips collided with each other.
