I have decided to slow the updates to once or twice a week. Now that the Olympics are over, it'll be eaiser to write, less long nights.

I do not own. Thank you though, for thinking that.

…

Alec woke with Magnus on the balacony, the sun shining a bright light. The blankets were slipping off them, so Alec moved to grab them before they fell.

When Alec moved, he justled Magnus, causing Magnus to whimper and snuggle closer to Alec. Alec moved his neck around, and whinced.

Sleeping the way that they did, gave Alec a crick in his neck. Alec after looking around for a bit and making his decison to carry Magnus back to the bed.

Alec, after taking a few deep breaths, lifted Magnus up, bridal style, and after opening the door, staggered into his room, gently dropping Magnus into the bed and going back to grab the blankets.

Alec was walking back when he heard Magnus speak. "Alec? Where are you? Why am I in bed? What time is it?"

Alec slid into bed with Magnus, wrapping his hands around Magnus's waist.

"We fell asleep outside. I think that it's about three-ish? Let's just go back to bed." Alec said, snuggling into Magnus, their bodies fitting perfectly together.

Magnus mumbled something that Alec didn't make out, but was to tired to ask what it was. Instead he said, "I love you Magnus sleep well."

He waited for an answer, but never got one. Magnus was already asleep.

Alec followed soon after.

…

When Alec woke again it was raining and the bed next to him was empty. He heard voices in the hallway and listened for a little, before relizing that Magnus was talking to someone in the hallway and Alec heard some of it.

"Ya, we are almost done with it. We have the songs and stuff. Clary finished the photo so..." The person's voice got quieter as they walked down the hallway.

Magnus spoke then. "So you guys are almost done right?"

"Right." The voice called back.

Magnus slid back into the bed and wrapped his arms around Alec's waist. Alec snuggled into Magnus, letting his mind shove the conversation and what it meant into the back of his head.

"Good morning, Alexander! Happy birthday!" Magnus said, whispering in Alec's ear, sounding very chirpy for morning.

Alec groaned at the mention of his birthday, but kissed Magnus's temple. "Good morning love."

Magnus grinned at the pet name and snuggled even closer to Alec if possible.

They stayed like that for awhile, enjoying each others presence and the silence.

Magnus broke it with a gasp as if remebering something. "Oh! I almost forgot your birthday gift!"

He got up not listening to Alec's protests. "Magnus, you didn't have to get me anything."

Magnus turned around with his hands clasped around something, very, very tiny.

"I know that I didn't have to but I wanted to." Magnus said, with a slight edge of nervousness in his voice.

"I'm sure that I will love what ever it is." Alec said, to comfort him.

Magnus took a deep breath then, showed Alec what was in his hands. It was a ring.

Alec gasped and stared, as Magnus moved forwards tentativaly. "Alexander, I'm not proposing. Not yet." Magnus said the last part under his breath. "This is my family ring. I want you to wear it. I know that's old fashioned and stuff but it would mean a lot to mean. I mean to you wouldn't even have to wear it on your hand, you could wear it on a necklace. Only if you want to though." Magnus said, slightly rambling, while watching Alec.

Alec got up and walked over to where Magnus was. He took the ring out of Magnus's hands and looked at it for awhile. The ring was a platium band with bronze, gold and silver banged into it, to look like sparkles. He stayed silent, Magnus still watching him.

Finally Alec spoke. "What hand should I put it on?"

Magnus breathed a sigh of relief. "Right hand, ring finger." He watch Alec slide on the ring and stare at it for awhile. A smile spread across his face. Alec looked up at Magnus still grinning.

Alec hugged Magnus, hard, before pulling away and kissing Magnus on the lips. Their foreheads touched as they caught their breath.

"Thank you Magnus. So much." Alec said looking up at Magnus through his lashes.

Magnus's breath caught in his throut when he saw Alec look at him like that.

Alec pulled away and ran over to the drawers. "I haven't been wearing it all week, because I thought I would lose it or it would get in the way of something." He said, while handing Magnus his family ring.

It was simple enough, but there was fire etched all around the band. "Fire is our family's symbol." Alec said, watching Magnus slide the band where it belonged on Magnus's hand.

They locked hands, staring at their interwind fingers, glinting with metal.

"I know that i just woke up, but I'm still tired, if I go back to bed, will you wake me in an hour?" Alec said.

Magnus got on idea there. "Sure. We can cuddle until you fall asleep if you want, and I can bring my phone so I can check the time and wake you up."

Alec smiled at that. "Sure. Sounds great, love."

With that Magnus grabbed his phone and Alec's arm, and dragged his towards the bed.

Magnus got comfortable and then pulled Alec in a comfortable on top of him. Alec smiled and then put his hand,with the ring on it, on Magnus's heart, and Magnus soon placed his own ringed hand on top of Alec's.. Magnus kissed Alec's forehead, then his nose, then finally his lips. "Goodnight darling. I love you. Sleep well."

Alec smiled at last tiny smile and closed his eyes. "I love you too, Magnus."

Alec fell asleep soon and as soon as Magnus knew that Alec fell asleep, he texted Izzy.

M~hey,I gave him the ring and he gave me his ring. He's asleep now, but if you want to take a photo of the rings for the video, you can take it now.

I~k, be over soon.

Soon enough Izzy was in the doorway, quietly aww-ing over Magnus and Alec.

Magnus raised a finger to his lips and Izzy quickly took a photo of that. Then she noticed the hands with bgthe rings on Magnus's heart and she took a photo of that. Magnus motioned for Izzy to wait, so she did. Magnus pulled out his phone and began to type. He sent it and soon enough Izzy's phone rang.

M~if you need to say anything, text it to me, I don't want to wake Alec.

I~ok, can you look down at Alec and kiss the top of his head?

Magnus rolled his eyes but did as he was told. Izzy texted a few more instructions, and took a few more photos before pulling out her phone again and texting Magnus.

I~thanks, we have plenty now.

M~good. I want this to be perfect. What song have you guys chosen?

I~ we haven't decided between, Rhythm of Love By the Plain White T's or I'm Your's By Jason Mraz, but we may not have to choose if it's long enough.

M~if you do choose, I'm Yours please.

I~i don't think we'll have to choose because we have a lot of photos.

M~good. I have to wake Alec soon, and he would be supicous if you were here so you should go and finish the video.

I~kicking me out? I'm hurt.

M~yes I am and no you aren't.

I~lol. Bye.

She waved then left. Magnus stared after her then at the closed door. Then he checked the time and after awhile he slowly shook Alec awake, not really wanting to.

Alec blinked sleepily and smiled at Magnus when he woke and kissed his lips lightly.

"Morning. Again." Alec said with a smile. "I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date today? Seeing as it is your birthday?"

Alec pretended to consider it, but in the end smiled and kissed Magnus again. "I would love too."

"Well let's go get dressed!" Magnus said. Alec got up and walked over to the dresser and got out a few shorts and button up shirts. He turned to Magnus who was holding up tops to pants and shoes. Alec decided to wear his dark blue top and beige shorts with the sleeves folded up so it showed his lower forearms. He grabbed his Sperry's and his Ray-Bans, that he pushed his hair back with.

Alec decided to read while he waited for Magnus who would probably take forever to get ready.

To Alec's great surprise, his lap was soon taken by Magnus who was dressed, covered in glitter and make-up. Alec dropped his book in surprise, his hands holding the person at the waist to keep them from falling off his lap.

Then Magnus was kissing Alec, while sitting on his lap. All Alec saw was Magnus eyes as he stared into Magnus eyes as they kissed. The eyes were a light green, with colors of gold hidden in them.

When he heard the door close quietly, he ingored it, thinking that it was somewhere in the house. All Alec could think about was Magnus. Who is he was and the part that he played in Alec's life. He was Alec's boyfriend, yes, but it felt like so much more. It always did with Magnus.

Alec leaned back to get his breath back as Magnus got up from Alec's lap, but it was taken away as soon as he looked at Magnus.

Magnus was wearing a deep purple top that had gold buttons, that were not buttoned and showed half of his chest. He was wearing skinny jeans that had so many rips and looked like they were a second skin on Magnus. He had the same color of purple Doc Martains on. He had necklaces on his neck, but only two rings on his fingers. Alec's family's ring and a ring on his middle finger on his other hand.

Alec picked up the ring and stared at it for awhile. He turned it this way and that.

Magnus spoke softly. "The ring was my mother's wedding ring. It was one of the only things that I wanted to keep that was her's."

Alec looked up at Magnus about to speak, but found that he couldn't. Magnus's eyes were open and for once he didn't look like the cocky Magnus that he usually wore. His eyes were open and sad and his body was slumped forwards, seeking comfort. "Magnus?" Alec asked. "What darling?"

"What happened to your mom?" Alec asked a little heistantly. Magnus sighed and moved to sit back on Alec's lap. He did so and put his head on Alec chest before sighing again. "Must I tell you tonight?"

"No, if you don't want to then no, you don't have to, but I do wish to know." Alec said.

"Why? It's in the past, it shouldn't matter." Magnus said, trying to get out of it.

"I know it shouldn't but it does to me because I want to know the women who shaped you into who you are." Alec said, staying calm.

Magnus sagged against him and with a weak voice began explaining. "My mother was walking home one night, when she was drugged and raped. That was night when she became pregnant with me. Her husband always wanted a child and when he found out that she was pregant, he was so happy. He was a pale man with blue eyes. My mom was hoping that when I came out, I looked like her husband and not the man who raped her. When she gave birth and she saw how I looked she was so unhappy. Her husband began to hit her and she began to get depressed. The only joy she had was water. She loved swimming. When she was swimming she was happy and free, she was open and talked to me. Soon her husband took all of her time so she couldn't go into the water, so she fell back into depression." Magnus paused there and swallowed the lump in his throat. The tears were flowing freely down his cheeks and into Alec's shirt. He snuggled into Alec and continued his tale. "When I was about seven she hanged herself in our barn and then my father tried to drown me. That was why I was scared of water but why I decided to swim again."

Magnus looked up at Alec only to see tear tracks running down Alec's face that matched his own. Alec's eyes were bright blue and filled with sadness. But not pity. For that Magnus was very grateful.

Alec softly kissed Magnus, cradling Magnus's face in his hands, wiping away the tears. "Thank you for telling me Magnus. I'm sorry that you had to go through that."

Magnus smiled, but frowned at the last part. "Do not feel sorry for me Alexander. It was a long time ago and it doesn't hurt like it use to."

Alec nodded, very serious. "Noted. No feeling sorry for Magnus." He snorted. "What a pair we are." Magnus began to chuckle and Alec joined in.

"Come on. We have a date to get to, birthday boy." Magnus said hopping off of Alec's lap.

Alec joined him and grabbed his phone of the table. "Can I choose where we go? I have the perfect place."

Magnus shrugged. "Sure. Let me tell Izzy that we are leaving. Wait here." Magnus motioned for Alec to stay to which Alec rolled his eyes and said, "Woof-Woof, Magnus."

Magnus spun around and grinned. "So kinky Alexander." He watched Alec turn deep red and drop his eyes to the carpet.

Magnus turned around and walked to Izzy's room where the group was making video.

He walked into the room before knocking. "Get out- oh hey Magnus, nice outfit. Sorry, I thought that you were Alec. Good news, we are almost done and we have plenty of photos. My favorites are these two." Izzy handed him two photos. One was of Alec surfing and Magnus watching him go with a smile on his face and happiness in his eyes. The other one was of them in bed, the second times they fell asleep. All of their limbs were twined together and both had a blissful expression on their faces.

Magnus blushed, just slightly. "You took the second one didn't you? How many sneak shots did you guys take?"

Izzy laughed. "A lot. I still have a lot. Like hundreds. You know, for your wedding."

Magnus's mouth dropped open. "How? Wait never mind I don't even want to know."

"Anyways, what's up?" Izzy asked. "Right! Alec and I are going on date, so you guys will have plently of time to finish this right?"

Izzy clapped her hands. "Perfect. It stopped raining too, so that should be fun. We have also decided not to post it yet, we want Alec to decide to post it or not. So we are going to burn it on a CD and play it as a moive for tonight."

"Sounds great. I have to go. Make sure you text me when you are finished so we can go home." Magnus said before after hearing a chorus of 'byes', left the room and walked back to Alexander.

Once he got to Alec he was very excited and happy about what they were doing for Alec's birthday.

"So, I was wondering if we could stay in for my birthday and have a movie night." Alec asked.

'Perfect!' Magnus thought. (Not that Magnus was expecting anything else from Alec.)

"Sure darling, whatever you want. It's your birthday." Magnus replied before grabbing Alec's hand and leading him out the door. "Can you call your car?" Magnus asked.

"Done. It's coming now. Ah! There it is." Alec said, pulling him down the driveway.

Alec opened the door for Magnus, but instead of joining Magnus, got up front to talk to the driver.

The door to Magnus's right opened as Alec got into the car.

"Ready, Magnus?" Alc asked, taking Magnus's hand. Magnus sqeezed their hands together as the car began to roll forwards.

"For you? Always."

…

There, how's that? Pretty good, huh?
