I own nothing but the OCs and plot!

"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Magnus asked, anxiously looking around the shop. There had few clients today and the afternoon looked just as calmed. It did not helped to calm Magnus down though.

"We'll be fine" Anne rolled her eyes.

Magnus and Alec had finally found the time to go on a date. With both of their busy schedules, it had been really hard to find a convenient time for just the two of them. Of course, now that they finally had the day to go out, Magnus was very excited about it. He had planned out his outfit 3 days in advanced and planned every single detail of the date. Alec had let him decide what they would do, which left Magnus with a long list of possibilities. He came with some really over-the-top ideas, but Catarina and Ragnor forced him to tone it down. They knew Alec was not one for big gestures or public appearances. Catarina had advised Magnus the most about what they could do, while Ragnor kept making fun on him. After long days planning, Magnus had made the perfect plan. Of course, the plans started at the beginning of the evening. Which meant Magnus would need to leave the shop in the hands of Anne and Eddie…and the new girl. Kathy had started her maternity leave a few days ago and the new girl, Karmine, had started her training. Anne had taken her under her wings while Eddie helped with the duties Kathy used to have. Magnus had taken over the whole administrative area of the shop, taking care of the counter, making appointments, making the charges, what Kathy used to do most of the days. They missed their young friend terribly, but the shop was working perfectly. It still unnerved Magnus to leave them alone for a complete afternoon, though.

"It's not the first time we stay by ourselves" Eddie pointed out, as he cut the hair of one of their clients.

"No, but it's the first time without Kathy" Magnus pointed out. He was standing by the door, ready to leave, but still a bit unsure.

"I'm sure not having her here is not that much of a difference" Karmine said.

"Of course it is" Magnus snorted "She's the common sense in this group"

"We all would be lost without her" Anne nodded and then turned back to Magnus "But we can manage ourselves for a couple of hours"

"Okay, Okay" Magnus chuckled "I trust you"

"Of course you do" Anne smirked "Now go to your hot date!"

"Okay! Call me if you need anything" Magnus said walking the few steps he had left towards the front door of the shop.

"Have fun!" Karmine called after him.

"Be safe!" Anne called as well.

"Use protection!" Eddie grinned.

"Alexander" Maryse Lightwood called as she saw her oldest son walking towards the front door.

"Yes?" Alec asked, turning around to look at his mother.

"I didn't know you had come to visit" Maryse said, putting her hands on her hips.

"I arrived before you came back from work" Alec explained "Needed some help from Izzy"

"Uh-huh. Wouldn't hurt to say hello now and then" Maryse raised an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry mother" Alec apologised.

"Why are you leaving so early?" Maryse continued to question "Are you coming back for dinner?"

"I'm afraid I can't" Alec shook his head "Have a previous engagement. Can't make it back for dinner"

"Where are you going so dressed up?" Maryse asked, looking at her son's attire.

"He's got a date" Isabella called, walking down the stairs and moving to stand next to Maryse.

"A date?" Maryse asked surprised "Why wasn't I made aware of this?"

"Mother, I believe I'm too old to tell you everything I do in my free time" Alec said, trying hard not to roll his eyes.

"Who are you going with?" Maryse questioned, ignoring what Alec had just said. "Alexander, you shouldn't be going out on dates if you have not found your soulmate yet!"

"Mother" Alec sighed "This really isn't the time-"

"You know being soulmates is a commitment" Maryse stressed out "What are you going to tell them when you meet your soulmate? That you've been dating around? I could accept that from Isabelle…but from you? I expected more"

"Mother" Alec snapped with a frown "I'm going on a date with my soulmate"

Maryse silenced immediately. She was shocked to hear the news. She knew his mark had been bothering him lately, but as long as she knew they had not met yet.

"You met your soulmate?" Maryse asked shocked "When were you planning on telling us?"

"One of these days" Alec shrugged and then opened the front door "Mother, I would love to stay and chat, but I have to get going"

"Not so fast!" Maryse cut him off "Tuesday Night. Bring him for dinner"

"Mother" Alec groaned and then glared at his sister who was giggling. "I'm not even sure he'll be available"

"Let him know tonight so he can clear his schedule" Maryse said easily.

"I'll ask him" Alec sighed "Can I leave now?"

"You don't live here Alexander. There is no point in asking when you can leave or not" Maryse waver her hand in dismiss.

"Have fun!" Izzy grinned at him "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!"

"Bye" Alec said and walked out of his parent's house.

In the end, Magnus had planned for them to go out for dinner at one of his favourite restaurants. It was a fancy little Italian restaurant he had discovered when he first moved here. He guessed Italian food was a good first guess. Later on they could try some more exotic food, try some Indian or maybe ask for some Thai. So Magnus had made the reservation at one of the garden tables. The one farthest from the restaurant and from the eyes of the public. It was all very romantic and beautiful. There was a big oak tree above them, decorated with little lanterns made of candles and empty jars. The smell of the different flowers surrounding them was soothing and very nice. Magnus had been nervous Alec would be allergic, but he wasn't, which was a big plus. There was soft violin music playing through the hidden speakers around the garden. Their table had two sets of plates in front of each other with a candle and a small rose in the middle of it. The whole scene was very romantic. The food was amazing. Both of them loved every second of it. They talked and flirted. They talked about their jobs, their friends and family. Magnus would not stop giving compliments to Alec, who blushed and tried to evade the compliments. Magnus enjoyed every second of it. The crimson color Alec's cheeks and ears would take and the way he would look down, biting his lip, was very endearing.

After dinner, Magnus and Alec went to watch a movie. It was a romantic comedy Magnus had been dying to see. It would not have been Alec's first choice for a movie, but he agreed to see it because of how Magnus brightened at the idea of seeing it. They held hands between their seats, and after half a movie had gone by, Magnus lifted the arm rest between them. He then continued to lean against Alec. Alec wrapped his arm around Magnus's waist and held him closer, while Magnus cuddled against his side. It was all very comfortable and they enjoyed the proximity. It was the most intimate they had been with each other, and both felt a thrill at the idea of getting much closer.

On the way home, Alec drove Magnus to his place. The lights were off in the apartment, but he knew Ragnor was home because he had classes early in the morning the next day. They took the elevator together, their fingers linked together. They talked and joked, trying to keep their laughs quiet because of how late it had gotten. Most people in the building was asleep.

"I had a lot of fun today" Alec said softly once they reached Magnus's door.

"Me too" Magnus smiled, moving his hands towards Alec's neck. Alec's own hands moved towards Magnus's hips. "We should do this more often"

"We should" Alec nodded "I know it may be too soon…but my mother asked me to invite you to dinner on Tuesday"

"Am I meeting the family?" Magnus asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You know most of them already" Alec said "Just…my parents and my young brother"

"I would love to" Magnus said sincerely.

Magnus took a step closer to Alec and kissed his cheek tenderly. Alec took a deep breath and tightened his hold on Magnus's hips. Magnus took that as an invitation and pressed another kiss, this one on the corner of Alec's mouth.

"Magnus" Alec whispered, breathless at their closeness.

Magnus pulled away, but barely. He stared at Alec in the eyes, trying to figure out his expression and make sure it was alright. They were inches apart, their breaths mixed together as they breathed in sink. In the end it was Alec who made the move. Not being able to control himself, Alec moved forward and brushed his lips against Magnus. It was shy at first, just testing the waters. But them Magnus pressed back with more pressure, moving his hands to hold Alec's jaw instead of just touching his neck. Alec wrapped his arms around Magnus' waist, raising the shirt Magnus was wearing a bit, and pulling his body closer to him.

They broke for air once before locking their lips once more. This time, Magnus' tongue teased Alec's lower lip and Alec gasped at the sensation. Taking advantage of the small gasp, Magnus' tongue met Alec's. It was a storm of new sensations for both of them. A fire that consumed them from the inside and an electric shock that went through their bodies from the outside. It was everything they wanted and more.

Alec's hands moved higher on Magnus's back, lifting his shirt even further and moving his hands to touch Magnus's skin. Magnus moaned softly as Alec's hands touched patterns against his back. Magnus's own hands moved to the back of Alec's head and started playing with his black hair. He tugged experimentally and received a deep groan of pleasure from Alec. With a new found force, Alec pinned Magnus against the door. Magnus parted his legs as Alec slipped one of his between them. Their bodies were incredibly close and they both gasped at the new pressure.

"Alexander" Magnus gasped breaking away from the kiss. He found himself unable to stop grinning.

"Magnus" Alec responded, moving to start pressing kisses to Magnus's jaw and neck.

"Mmm…we should stop" Magnus murmured, but he moved his head to give more access to Alec to continue pressing kisses.

"We should" Alec agreed, but did not stop pressing kisses.

"Alexander" Magnus sighed happily "If we don't stop…I can't be held responsible for what happens"

"You're right" Alec sighed, pressing one last kiss just on Magnus's pulse point "We should stop"

They took a moment, just breathing each other in and enjoying the proximity of their bodies. Finally it was Alec who stepped away, blushing slightly at the sight of Magnus's swollen lips and wrinkled shirt. Magnus laughed softly at the blush spreading across Alec's cheeks.

"We should do that more often" Magnus grinned.

"We should" Alec smiled shyly. "You should get inside…We have to work tomorrow"

"You're right" Magnus sighed, pulling away from the door and standing up straight "Talk to you tomorrow?"

"Of course" Alec nodded.

Magnus moved forward and pecked Alec's lips tenderly before whispering a 'goodnight' against his lips and disappearing inside his apartment.

I will let you fangirl now :)
