AN: The place I wrote about I haven't been there since I was a little kid. I chose to describe it how I remembered it in my mind, adding things to fit the story. So no offense to anyone who has actually been there.
Sorry for any mistakes. No matter how many times I read through, something always seem to slip by me.
Chapter 11 Dates & their fathers part 2
Stepping out of the portal, his hand tucked comfortably in Magnus' soft grip, Alec gasped at the scene layed out before him. They were on a beach. A place he had only seen images of. A place he had long dreamed to one day visit, see with his own eyes.
At his feet, white sand stretched out like a welcome mat before him, sea shells catching the light of the slowly setting sun, sparkling like expensive jewelry. To his right layed a blanket of blue as far as the eye could see, the sun gently kissing the water where the sky and the ocean meet.
Alec's breath caught in his throat and he could feel his eyes begin to prickle with tears. It was a most breathtaking scene, just a calming sea of blue, the crisp ocean air, something he had never experienced before, tingling his nose.
It was almost as if he was gazing into the eyes of his alpha again for the first time. Of course nothing would ever compare to that, but this was close enough and was the only way Alec could think to describe how he was feeling.
As Alec blinked back his tears, he could hear a roaring sound coming into focus, tugging at his ears and pulling him from his trance like gaze. Unthinkingly following the sound, he shifted his focus, and was once again left speechless. There, standing in the distance to the left of him, was a breathtakingly beautiful waterfall.
"Magnus." Alec's voice squeaked as he watched the water cascade down the mountain side over large boulders, streaming across the sand and into the waiting arms of the sea. "Where are we?"
"This is the Dunn's River Falls, Alexander," came Magnus' simple reply. "We're in Jamaica." He smiled, happy with his young omega's reaction. "It's one of my most favorite little places to visit."
Alec was in awe. "It's... beautiful."
"And yet still not as beautiful as you," Magnus confessed, earning him a soft elbow to the ribs from a blushing Alec. "No, I mean it, darling." Magnus chuckled. He was thoroughly enjoying watching the different emotions play across his sweet omega's face, seeing the world anew through those innocent blue eyes. "When I first looked into those amazingly gorgeous eyes of yours'... it's as if I was immediately transported here. This place reminds me so much of you," said Magnus, pausing for a moment in consideration. "Or maybe it is you who reminds me of this place. I'm not entirely sure which at the moment."
"How so?" Asked Alec, his eyes still diligently scanning the beautiful scenery before them.
"Well for one, your both naturally very beautiful... and I've always felt at peace here. Without all the crazy mundane tourists running around of course," Magnus explained. "That's how I feel whenever I'm with you... at peace, like all is right in the world..."
"Not to mention those gems of yours," he added after a few beats. "They're so much like the ocean... beautiful swirls of exotic blues." Magnus' tone was reverent, his words stealing Alec's attention. "So much depth," he continued, bringing his hand to Alec's cheek in a gentle caress, their gaze locking. "It's like there's a whole other world hiding behind their still waters. I could get lost in them forever... never finding all of their secrets."
"You should be a poet," Alec offered after a pause, the warlock's words melting his heart and warming his cheeks.
"Though I have been known to write a sonnet or two," Magnus confessed. "I doubt I could ever compose any that would do you justice." Alec's cheeks were aflame. "Oh Alexander," Magnus cooed, his eyes shinning. "You're simply delectable when you blush."
"And you're too charming for your own good," Alec countered as Magnus' thumb fell from his cheek, a searing imprint left behind. "And mine."
"All part of my plan to win you over, my sweet." Magnus offered Alec his hand.
"You already have," Alec confirmed, lacing their fingers together. He was torn between wanting to explore the beautiful beach that laid before them, or to simply remain where he stood, spending the entire date lost in his warlock's eyes. In the end, it was Magnus who made the decision for them.
"What do you say I feed you first." He brought his free hand up to brush a lock of unruly hair from the shadowhunter's eyes. "Then, we explore this amazing beach together?"
"Sounds like a plan," Alec agreed, but both of them were still unmoving.
This time it was Magnus who made the first move, his hand going to the back of Alec's neck, pulling him forward and crashing their lips together in a fierce kiss. It was now Alec's turn to be surprised, gasping at the sudden assault, his lips parting, giving way for Magnus' tongue.
The two allowed themselves to get lost in each other, though just for a moment, their passion and need consuming.
Magnus didn't know what he had been doing all this time, before Alec, but it wasn't kissing. It had simply been a mechanical movement of body parts doing what they had been programmed to do. This, what he was doing with his Alexander, the way their tongues danced together and how their lips fitted together, curving smoothly against each other, every bend, every fold, molding together perfectly like matching pieces of a puzzle, this, this was how it was meant to be.
Alec melted into the kiss, into Magnus, moaning wantonly when the warlock tangled his fingers in his hair, griping the raven strands tightly as his tongue delved into his mouth, tasting him. When Magnus' tongue traced the roof of his mouth, he felt his knees buckle and had to grip Magnus' sides to keep from falling. The warlock couldn't help but chuckle as they pulled back, catching their breaths. However, he wasn't finished with Alec just yet, he wanted more, and would always want more of his beautiful omega.
Leaning back in, he brought his lips to Alec's neck, just below his scent glands, causing the shadowhunter to shudder at the warm touch. He took his time kissing the sensitive skin there, nipping gently then sucking on it. He wanted to mark Alec as his own the only way he could for now, showing everyone that Alec was his. As Magnus ran his tongue over the purpling bruised skin, soothing it, he could smell that his omega was fast becoming aroused by what he was doing, even before he felt it at there closeness. He quickly pulled back before he lost himself completely in his omega's scent. It wouldn't do to attempt taking his mate right then and there, Magnus thought. It was far too soon for that.
He gently brought his lips back to Alexander's, the kiss softer this time, less desperate and more languid, just the two of them enjoying each other. Alec could feel his body tingling from head to toe, every nerve in his body buzzing as Magnus' tongue danced in his mouth, neither of them wanting to pull apart.
When at long last the need to breathe became too much, overriding all else, only then did Magnus pull back, resting their foreheads together as they both tried to catch their breaths, lips only but a few centimeters apart. "It's becoming harder and harder to control myself around you, Alexander," Magnus whispered in a sinfully husky voice.
"Maybe you should stop trying to," Alec suggested, pulling back more so he could properly look into his alpha's eyes. Magnus' glamour had fallen away and Alec couldn't breathe. Magnus blinked a few times, putting them back up. "No, leave them," said Alec. "I want you to always be your complete self when we're together."
"Are you sure you can handle them?" Magnus smirked, his mind flashing back to images of the shadowhunter on his knees before him in a long hallway. "You seem to loose control of yourself whenever you see them."
"You're the one with control problems if I recall," said Alec, looking flushed and thoroughly wrecked. Magnus wanted to see him even more wrecked, writhing in pleasure beneath him. But that would have to wait, for now he would enjoy the bits and pieces of Alec that he could until they were ready to take the next step and give themselves to each other completely, becoming one.
"Alright, shadowhunter," he said, blinking away his glamour and watching as Alec took a deep shaky breath, steadying himself. "Are you alright?" Magnus snickered. "I don't need to worry about you pouncing on me, do I?"
"I'm fine," said Alec, rolling his eyes as he held back a smile... and himself from pouncing on the warlock.
"I think it's safe to say that we both have issues with self control," Magnus offered.
"Only around you." Alec blushed. Magnus seemed to be able to bring out a side of him he didn't even knew existed.
"Like wise," said Magnus, taking his mate's hand, giving him one last kiss, pressing their lips firmly together, before quickly pulling back. "Now, lets go eat before I pull you down into the sand and ravish you."
Alec chuckled, thinking he wouldn't mind being ravished by Magnus on a beautiful exotic beach. He licked his lips as the two of them took off, walking along said beach, the sun slowly setting in the background.
Magnus led Alec up a seemingly never ending wooden staircase that stood adjacent the large waterfall. They stopped at a large platform, a kind of balcony of sorts, the stairs continuing on ahead. It overlooked the waterfall, providing the most perfect view. From there they could see most of the beach, the trees, the ocean, and the sun half disappearing behind the blue waves.
There was a table set for two, draped in red and covered in white rose petals. A five armed silver candelabra was set in the middle and tiny fairy lights were strung up overhead that were sure to look even more beautiful as the evening grew darker.
It suddenly dawned on Alec that since their arrival he had not seen a single person around; remembering that Magnus had made mention of mundane tourists. "Why haven't I seen anyone around since we got here?" he asked.
"The beach is usually closed for a few days each year for upkeep and whatnot," Magnus explained. "Luckily for us our date coincide with one of those days. I simply had to make arrangements with the overseers for us not to be disturbed."
"Oh." Alec couldn't help but wonder what those arrangements may have entailed. "You didn't have to go through all of this trouble for me, you know. I wouldn't have minded having people around, or even just going to a regular old resturant back in New York. You don't need to arrange a whole beach for me, Magnus."
"Well first, it was no trouble at all," Magnus assured. "And Like I said before, this place reminds me of you. Plus, I also selfishly wanted you all to myself... no interruptions, no distractions. So, shall we?" He gestured to the table, pulling out a chair for Alec.
Alec sat down gingerly, smiling as Magnus kissed his cheek then took his own seat, opposite his. He quietly picked up the floral patterned menu that layed before him, not recognizing any of the foods that were written on it. Seeing his confusion, Magnus quickly assured him that he didn't have to try the local cuisine if he didn't want to.
"I can get you anything you want, just name it," said Magnus, blue sparks of magic already gleaming at his finger tips.
"No." Alec shook his head, staying Magnus' actions. "I want to try something different," he said, studying the menu card. "I just don't know what on here I would even like. Why don't you help me choose?"
Once again blue sparks of magic crackled at Magnus' finger tips as with a florish of his hand, and a snap of his fingers, a bottle of wine and a variety of delicious looking dishes appeared on the table before them. "I thought you could sample a few and see which ones you like. Though I must warn you, some are a bit spicy. Like that one..." Magnus pointed at one of the bowls. "The jerk chicken."
"I'm sure I can handle a little bit of spice," Alec assured. "I'm with you aren't I?"
"Yes you are," Magnus chuckled. "And I'm happy that your are." He couldn't disagree with his shadowhunter. He was known to be a bit, 'spicey' at times, and not everyone's taste buds could handle him.
"So, how did your parents react when you told them about our date?" Magnus asked after a few beats as he poured wine for the both of them. He knew that their relationship was putting quite the strain on the young shadowhunter's relationship with his parents.
"Mom is away in Idris... so luckily I only had dad to deal with," said Alec. "He's more understanding I think. But it was a bit weird though."
"How so?" Magnus raised a curious brow as he took a sip of his wine.
"Well, I knew he wouldn't react as crazy as mom, but he didn't even really try to stop me."
"Really?" Magnus couldn't believe that. Would Robert really be so easily accepting of their relationship?
Alec nodded. "He just basically asked me to be careful and to call him immediately if anything went wrong... Weird, right?."
"I'm sure he's just trying to be a supportive father," said Magnus, not believing his own words.
"I hope so," said Alec, equally doubtfull.
"And your friends? You weren't lying when you said your sister was a real fire cracker," Magnus continued after a moment, watching as Alec sampled a few of the dishes, then adding the ones he liked to his plate. "A few minutes in her company and I could tell right away she was a handful."
"My friends are being really supportive. I honestly don't know how I would've managed not having them around." Alec smiled. "And you're right about Izzy, she's really firey and passionate. Infact, you remind me a lot of her."
"I do?" Asked Magnus, brows knitting together in thought. He guessed they probably did have some things in common from the little he saw of her and what Alec had already told him about her.
"Yes. You're both very..." Alec paused trying to think of the right word, "Sassy? Yes, that's the word, sassy, and really into fashion."
"She was wearing some really killer heals with her shadowhunter gear," Magnus noted.
"Infact," Alec began. "Now that I think about it, we probably partially have her to thank for us being together."
"Really?" Magnus drawled, dragging the word. "How so?"
"Well she was the one who showed me pictures of the hot new High Warlock of Brooklyn," Alec replied cheekily. He then began telling Magnus about how Izzy had showed him his pictures that morning in the caferteria, and how he had immediately felt drawn to him.
"Wow," Magnus exclaimed. The two had momemtarily forgotten their meals. Though really, when Magnus was with Alec food was not something he needed. "So, us running into to each other in the hallway wasn't an accident?"
"No it was," Alec corrected, then began explaining. "Sure I wanted to meet you, but that wasn't my intention then at that particular moment. I just knew after seeing your pictures that I wanted to see you, so I thought I'd sneak a peek at you while you were in the council meeting."
Magnus reached his hand across the table, requesting for Alec's, who happily obliged, placing his hand in the warlock's.
"You're amazing, do you know that?" asked Magnus.
"No," Alec replied, smiling broadly. "But now that you've told me..."
"Well you are." Magnus chuckled. "You're amazing and brave to have taken such a risk, and I'm very lucky that you've chosen me." Magnus smoothed his thumb gently across Alec's knuckles. "I know that there's a long line of suitors..."
"Don't," said Alec, cutting him off. "I didn't choose you, Magnus... we chose each other. And you're the only suitor I'm interested in."
Magnus could only smile and nod, almost shyly. Despite his inexperience, his shadowhunter was continuously surprising him.
As they silently gazed into each other's eyes, a message was passed between the two of them; alpha to omega. Silently they promised not to let their insecurities or fears breed doubts in their minds, that they were fully commited to each other.
"Let's eat before our food gets cold," said Magnus, releasing Alec's hand, already missing the connection.
The two fell into a comfortable silence as they ate, just enjoying the other's company. He could get used to this, Alec thought, travelling with Magnus to exotic places. He was certain that there would never be a dull moment the with warlock as his mate. Not just because of his obvious magical abilitites, but the man himself. Magnus' personality was like a ray of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day, and he had never felt more relaxed and safe than when he was with Magnus. The warlock made him feel like he could do anything...like he no longer had to be afraid.
As much as he blamed his parents and the clave for him having been stuck in the Institute for so long, Alec knew he also had to take some of the responsibility himself. Sure he knew there were dangers out there for him, but he was a shadowhunter, he's trained hard all of his life and he knew what he could handle. So as much as he wanted to blame everyone else, he had to aslo share in some of the blame. His panick attack earlier had proved just that. He had allowed fear to rule his life. If not, he would have left the the walls of the Institute a long time ago, gone on missions...parents be damned. He would have fought harder for what he wanted.
He supposed that there was a time and a season for everything and nothing could ever happen before it's time. One thing was for sure though, now that he was out in the sun, nothing was going to pull him back into the shadows again.
Magnus tried to think of what he had done in his life to deserve such a blessing, to deserve someone like Alexander, but he could not think of anything. Sure, he hadn't led a completely bad life, but he was a downworlder, a demon spawn, surely there were others more deserving than him. Alec was of the angels, an omega... the only omega... How could he be his? Yet, somehow he was. Somehow Alec was meant to be his mate, there was no doubt about it. This beautiful being, this angel on earth was his. He had looked pass all the other angels, all the others more worthy and had chosen him. Magnus Bane. A demon.
Whatever it was that he'd done to deserve this gift, Magnus was going to treasure it. He was going to cherish and protect Alec with all he had.
"So how did it go?" Robert asked in way of greeting as an exhausted looking Maryse stepped into their joint office. He didn't even bother getting up from behind his desk as he watched her approach.
"Is that how I'm going to be greeted?" She groused, her glare biting.
"You of all people know I'm no good at pretending," Robert replied politely. "I wasn't happy with you when you left and I'm not happy with you now that you've returned. I may have given in to this stupid idea of yours, but don't expect any support from me."
"Yes, you've said that already." Maryse frowned, sitting down in a black cushioned chair opposite Robert.
"Well it bears repeating," said Robert, holding her gaze. "This is all on you. If anything goes wrong, you are on your own."
"Nothing will go wrong," Maryse assured. "This will work, I know it." It has to.
"Would you like some desert, Alexander?" Magnus asked a little while after they were finished eating, snapping his fingers, and clearing the table.
"Hmm, maybe later," Alec replied. "Can we go back down to the beach now?" He asked eagerly.
"Of course darling," said Magnus, getting to his feet. "You know, this waterfall," he began, offering Alec his hand, the two of them making their decent back down the wooden staircase. He wanted to touch his omega every chance he got and as much as possible. "People come here from all over world. They try to climb all the way to top. They see it as a sort of challenge."
"Have you ever climbed to the top?" Alec asked, gazing over at his alpha as they continued their decent.
"A couple of times. It's not that hard really... actually rather relaxing. We could come back some other time during the day and climb it together. It would be dangerous to attempt at night, even with your shadowhunter reflexes."
"Sounds like fun," Alec agreed.
Tiki torches lined the shore line and balls of light floated above in the evening sky. "Did you do this?" Alec asked as they stepped off the last stair and were once again standing in the sand, his head tilting back as he took in the floating balls of light.
Magnus hummed his response. "It's not too much, is it?"
"No, I like it," Alec assured, the scene something out of a farytale.
"Good," Magnus murmured, pulling Alec along closer towards the shore line. Snapping his fingers, he conjured a large blanket, pulling the shadowhunter down next to him as he sat down. "Wait, let me," he offered as Alec made to remove his shoes, snapping his fingers causing both of their shoes to disappear.
"Where did you send them?" Alec asked, smiling as he wiggled his toes, enjoying the feel of the sand against his feet.
"They're waiting for us on the stairs."
Alec looked behind him to see their shoes resting neatly on the last step. "It's so beautiful here," he noted not for the first time, leaning back on his elbows.
The two silently watched as the waves came and went, enjoying the cool night air against their skin and the smell of the ocean, neither feeling the need to fill the space with unnecessary conversation, just wanting to enjoy being together. Magnus knew that there were a lot of important things that they needed to talk about with reguards to them officially becoming mates. There was the mating process in and of itself and what would result to consider, as well as the many other obstacles and challenges they would have to face. But, there would be time for those more serious conversations later. He wasn't going to weigh down their first date with any kind of negativity or worries.
Magnus watched as his mate, the man he was quickly falling head over heals in love with, let his head fall back, closing his eyes as he breathed in a long breath, holding it in before breathing out again. He watched as the smooth skin of Alec's neck stretched and his adam's apple bobbed up and down each time he swallowed. He watched the way his jaw clenched and relaxed, and the way his long lashes fluttered, kissing the milky skin underneath. He's so beautiful, Magnus thought, wondering once again what he had done to deserve someone like Alec, and how he couldn't wait to see his mark laying bold and bright against his beautiful neck for all of the world to see... to know, that Alexander was his.
Feeling his mate's gaze burning a hole into his skin, Alec opened his eyes, turning his head, blue eyes meeting gold-green cat eyes. "I thought we're suppose to be enjoying the view?"
"I am," said Magnus, grinning, causing Alec to snicker at his cheesiness, but blushing non the less. "Come on," he said suddenly getting up, pulling Alec to his feet as well.
Magnus led Alec out into the water, but only just above their ankles. The water was so cool and felt really good against his skin as the waves crashed against their feet. He couldn't help but wonder what Alec would look like wet.
"What are you doing?" Alec exclaimed as Magnus began pulling him further out into the water, his pants getting wet.
"Don't worry I'll magically dry our clothes later," Magnus replied, smiling like a maniac. "On second thought..." He snapped his fingers, both of them now wearing colorful swim shorts, their clothes folded neatly on the blanket.
Pulling a stunned, blushing Alec closer, his eyes thoroughly scanned his naked torso. He was truely an angel, Magnus thought, a body chisled to perfection. Porcelain, milky white skin decorated with powerful runes, stretching and curving over well defined muscles. Magnus was drooling. "I just realized how stupid it would be of me to bring you to the beach, and leave without you having had the full experince." Magnus explained. Which admittedly was about ninety percent true.
"Alec chuckled. "So you're not just trying to get me naked then?"
"That too," Magnus admitted, but before he could say anything else, water was hitting him in the face. Sputtering and spitting out the water that had gotten into his mouth, "Oh, you are so going down," he scolded a giggling Alec who was feigning innocence.
With a florish of his hands, Magnus lifted up a large ball of water between them. "That's cheating," Alec shouted as he took off trying to get away, the floating ball of water chasing after him. He had barely gotten two feet before he felt the water crashing down on top him, Magnus cackling behind him.
"Oh, you look absolutely delicious wet, Alexander," complimented the warlock, making his way over to a frowning Alec and pulling him into his embrace. "And you have the cutest little pout." Magnus smiled before leaning in to capture Alec's lips.
"I should probably be getting you home now," Magnus stated, but still made no effort to get up. After an almost too heated makeout session, some more water play, and Magnus coaxing Alec into dancing with him, the two were now lying, fully clothed, on the blanket Magnus had conjured earlier, gazing up at the stars.
"Just a while longer," came Alec's reply. The sky was so beautiful here, he thought, way better than the sky back in New York. Here he could actually see the stars. Back at the Institute he was lucky to even get a glimce at one, and even then, it almost always turned out to a helicopter or something.
"Can we go back to your place first? Alec asked tentitively after a few more minutes into the silence. "I want to see where you live." He smiled shly, blushing at Magnus' surprised raised eye brows. "Get those dirty thoughts out of your mind. I just... "
"But they're the best ones," Magnus interjected, with a frown. But Alec rolled just his eyes and continued, hiding his smile.
"After, if it's not too late or too far away from the Institute, you could walk me home. It's been a while since I've seen the city." He really did want to see where Magnus lived, but the truth was he also wasn't yet ready to go home. He hadn't left the Institute in two years and he was having the time of his life... he was in no rush to return.
"Ok, how about I show you my apartment tonight," Magnus suggested. "And I take you on a tour of New York some other time. Preferably during the day time when all the best places are actually opened?"
"Sounds good," Alec agreed, squeezing the warlock's hand that laid tangled together with his own in between them as they went back to quietly star gazing.
It was half an hour later when Magnus was giving Alec a VIP tour of his apartment, taking special care to point out all of his most treasured antiques and collectables.
"You have a very beautiful home," Alec complimented as the two of them made their way over to the couch. The decor was way more colorful than what Alec was used to or liked himself, but he wouldn't have expected anything else from the over the top warlock. From the plush bright blue couch to the bright orange walls, the living room, as well as the rest of the apartment, looked like someone had thrown up a rainbow in there. Yet still, some how it all worked, modern and antiques blending perfectly together.
"I try," Magnus shrugged as he got comfortable, tucking one leg behind the other, so he sat facing Alec. Snapping his fingers, two glasses of chilled champagne appeared on the small glass coffee table before them.
"Thanks," Alec smiled, accepting the offered drink from Magnus. Taking a small sip, he watched the warlock's every movement over the rim of his glass. He was definitely going to have to get used to things being available at the snap of a finger. He also needed to ask Magnus where the things were all coming from, he hoped they weren't being stolen, but for now, he would just enjoy himself.
"Is it weird that I'm not yet ready for this night to end?" Alec asked, setting the champagne flute back down on the small coffee table. He could see that it was fast approaching midnight on an old grandfather clock resting in a corner of the room and knew that they should probably be calling it a night, but, he just didn't want the date to be over yet.
Magnus shook his head. "No. Just don't think of our date ending then," he suggested. "Think about how our date, tonight, is a begining... the begining of us."
Alec smiled. "How do you always know the right things to say?"
"One of my many talents I suppose," said Magnus with a smirk and a florish of his hand. He too didn't want their date to end. Infact, he didn't want Alec to leave at all. Despite knowing that it was better for them to take things slow, there was still that part him that wanted to mate with Alec now. The alpha in him wanted to claim Alec as his own. It was probably a good thing that he couldn't just yet.
Alec chuckled, he couldn't disagree with Magnus. Magnus was very talented... and beautiful, and charming. He was everything, and Alec felt beyond lucky to have the warlock as his mate.
The two were quiet as Magnus, having downed his champagne, stared Alec down, looking ready to pounce, his cat like gaze once again begining to overwhelm the young shadowhunter. Maybe it hadn't been the best idea to have Magnus leave his glamour down when they were alone together, thought Alec. At least not until they were ready to be... 'intimate'.
He wondered what the warlock was thinking, but before he could ask just that, Magnus was on him in the blink of an eye. He fell back against the couch with Magnus on top of him, pulling him into a heated kiss. This kiss wasn't the same as the ones before. It was more uncontrolled and needy, and Alec responded instantly, melting into the warlock's arms.
Almost as quickly as the kiss had started, Magnus pulled back, resting his forehead against Alec's, both of them breathless. "I need to get you home before I do something..." he trailed off kissing Alec again. Alec's hands tangled in Magnus' hair as Magnus trailed kisses down his neck, kissing the mark he had made earlier then fastening his lips further down his neck to create another.
Alec whimpered and moaned softly beneath him, pushing his body into the contact. When he widen the valley between his legs and brought them up to wrap around the warlock's waist, nestling him there, their groins rubbing against each other... Magnus knew he had to stop himself now while he still could. He brought his lips back to Alec's for a soft kiss, before pulling back, lifting himself up on his hands to look down at his kissed wrecked omega, wanting and needing so badly to wreck him even more. The young shadowhunter's scent was simply intoxicating.
"You have the most beautiful eyes that I've ever seen," Alec muttered, breathlessly as they stared at each other, not being able to stop himself from voicing his thoughts. One of the many ways Magnus seemed to affect him.
The warlock chuckled at his silliness, softly pecking him on the lips. He really did need to bring Alec home though, before he gave into his more... primal instincs. "Come on..." he started, only to be interrupted.
"He got those from me, you know," came a voice Alec didn't recognize but was all too familar to Magnus. He pulled away from the startled shadowhunter, both of them scanning the room trying to identify where the voice came from as they scrambled to their feet.
"Oh don't mind me, just a concerned father here to see his wayward son." Asmodeus suddenly appeared seated in a purple swade arm chair, opposite the couple, his legs elegantly crossed and a tea cup in his hand. His likeness to Magnus was very noticable, Alec recognized. It was obvious that they were related; similar build, same eyes and facial structure, as well as the obvious similarity in personality.
It was Magnus who spoke next. "Father, what are you doing here?" He asked.
"I didn't know I needed a formal invitation to visit my own son," Asmodeus replied, seemingly offended. "I mean, you left Edom... how many days now? You don't call, you dont write to let me know that you're ok... I know the cell phone service in Edom is non existent, but surely you could have managed a prayer ritual or even a simple projection spell."
"Father," Magnus chided, but Asmodeus ignored his son's obvious annoyance, moving gracefully to his feet, the tea cup vanishing.
Gliding over to his son and the seemingly shocked shadowhunter, he reached out his hands, pulling Magnus into a tight embrace. "It's good to see you too," said Asmodeus. As he pulled back, his eyes trailed over the shadowhunter. "And you must be Alexander?"
"How...?" Magnus started, wanting to know how is father knew about his mate.
"You of all people should know I have eyes everywhere," said Asmodeus, clutching his chest dramtically. "You wound me son."
Magnus simply rolled his eyes, focusing his attention back to his omega, hoping on all of Edom that Alec wouldn't be too freaked out, that his father's surprise visit wouldn't ruin things just as they were truely getting started. "Alexander," he said, making his voice as casual as possible. "This is my father."
Alec didn't know how to react. Sure he knew who Magnus' father was, but he never thought he would actual be meeting the man, or rather the demon. And if he were ever going to meet him, definitely not this soon. And what was he suppose to do? He was a shadowhunter, it was his job to kill demons, sending them back to hell. But this particular demon was his... his father in law?
"Alexander," Magnus called again, some worry seeping into his voice. Alec snapped out from his reverie.
"Wha...?" He looked at Magnus befuddled, like he'd forgotten where he was.
"I said this my father," Magnus repeated.
"Oh, um, nice to meet you," Alec stuttered
"Like wise," said Asmodeus. "He is a very pretty one, son. Those eyes..." he gushed, taking in Alec's appearance. "And an omega at that. You have truely outdone yourself."
"Father," Magnus warned, "Leave him alone."
"I can assure you I am not here to cause any trouble." Asmodeus raised his hands up in surrender, chuckling. "What kind of father would I be if upon hearing that my only son, after all these years, finally found his mate and I wasn't immediately at his side to share in his joy and see this mate for myself. Speaking of your mate..." He focused his gaze back squarely on Alec. "What are your intentions towards my son young man?"
"My intentions? Um..." Alec stuttered nervously, not sure if the demon was being serious. However, before he could say anything else, a large white ball of fluff jumped on him.
"Chairman!" Magnus exclaimed, pulling the animal off a startled Alec, almost ripping the shadowhunter's shirt, it had it's claws so dugged in. "You brought chairman?"
"Yes, well he missed you," said Asmodeus dissmisively.
"You have a..." Alec looked at the animal carefully. "Cat?"
"Not exactly. Chairman is what you would call a hell hound. He just has a powerful glamour that makes him present as a cat."
"So he's a dog pretending to be a cat?" Alec was equal parts confused and curious.
"Yes, pretty much." Magnus shrugged like it was no big deal, putting the animal down, watching as it ran off. Alec supposed it wasn't. He then turned his attention back to his father. "Father could you please excuse Alexander and I. It's late and I need to get him home before his parents send out a search party. You will get to talk to him some other time."
"Very well." Asmodeus, to Alec's surprise, and slight horror, made a move that looked like he was about to hug him, but thankfully thought better of it. "It was nice to meet you Alexander, and I hope we'll be seeing each other again very soon," he said with a slight bow of his head.
"Um, me too?" Alec replied, not really sure how else to respond. The whole sitution was too surreal for him. He supposed that Magnus' father, being who he was, was one of those important things that he and Magnus would need to talk about as their relationship moved forward.
"I'll be in one of the guest rooms waiting for your return, son. We have a lot to discuss," Asmodeus stated, leaving the couple.

I hope it wasn't too much.
Also in the begining I was strictly using 'Alexander' when writing from Magnus's POV because he didn't know him as Alec yet. But now he does so I'll be using 'Alec' now too in his POVs as we progress. Not in his dialog of course. I hope there wasn't any confusion, and it didn't affect the flow of the story for you. I feel like it shows familiarity and their progress.
