Chapter 17 - Glitter, butterflies, and investigation...mostly glitter and butterflies

"I'm sorry. Your Sunday off is canceled. I want you both in my office tomorrow at 10am. - Ragnor told them. - Now go and wash the glitter off yourself. My God, guys! Seriously, glitter? What is this, some kind of new wave kink? But no, I don't want to hear it. Not a word. I'm going to bed. I don't want any nightmares.

Ragnor was on his way home, and the forensic team was already packing. There was an awkward silence between the two of them. Finally Alec broke it.

"So, what now? In your car... I think... we..."

"Do you regret it?" asked Magnus quietly, looking down at his shoes and fiddling nervously with his rings.

"No. I was lost the moment I saw you on the stage. You were breathtaking."

"Actually, Ragnor's idea isn't that bad. My bathroom is quite big..." Magnus looked up with a slight smile at the corner of his lips.

"Well, since our day off tomorrow is going to be ruined, we can bring the date forward a little bit."

"We can't go to a restaurant with all that glitter. How about we continue what we started in the car at home?"

"That sounds like a plan."

They ran up to Magnus' apartment holding hands. As soon as the door closed behind them, Alec immediately pulled Magnus' shirt off. They stopped for a moment and Alec just looked at him, mesmerized.

"Magnus, you are so beautiful. Your piercings are driving me crazy." Alec stepped up to Magnus and kissed him fiercely. They didn't even know how they'd ended up in the bedroom. Magnus lay on the bed, Alec leaned over him. He started kissing his neck, then slowly moved down and ran his tongue over the tiny piece of metal in Magnus' right nipple. There was a silver dragon piercing in Magnus' hardened nipple, which seemed to have curled around it. As soon as Alec's soft lips touched it, Magnus threw back his head and a soft sound of pleasure escaped his lips. Alec's warm tongue played with the little jewel. Magnus reached into Alec's shirt and slowly began to pull it off him.

"God, Alexander, it feels so good. Don't stop."

But Alec stopped. Not because he didn't enjoy it, oh he really enjoyed it, he wanted to kiss every inch of Magnus. But he started coughing badly.

"Magnus...the glitter...I think I swallowed it."

"Hold that thought. Bathroom."

After the shower had washed the glitter off them, Magnus wrapped his arms around Alec from behind and leaned on Alec's back, looking at the beautifully tattooed butterfly on his shoulder blade. It almost mesmerized him. His lips moved gently towards it, Alec felt Magnus' warm breath on his skin, then Magnus slowly closed the distance and his lips gently touched the tattooed skin. An unexpected, loud groan escaped Alec's lips, and then he froze, motionless. His body tensed under Magnus' touch.

"I'm sorry Magnus, I..." he took the towel, wrapped it around his waist and ran out of the bathroom. Magnus stood confused in the shower.

"God damn it." Magnus hit the wall. He turned off the water, dried himself and wrapped the towel around his waist. He took a deep breath and went into the bedroom.

"Alexander, I...I'm...sorry..." he started to say, but stopped himself when he saw Alec sitting on the edge of the bed, gasping for air in panic. He sat down beside him, not daring to touch him.

"Have I done something wrong? Please say something, you're scaring me."

Alec looked at him, shook his head. He took a few deep breaths, took Magnus' hand.
