After thirty minutes or so the taxi pulled up at the end of the street where the restaurant was situated and Alec and Magnus climbed quickly out.

The crescent moon hung high above them casting a gentle white glow upon the dark sky and the stars twinkled brightly.

Strolling slowly along the street, his hand clasped in Magnus’s own smooth one, Alec had to hold back the urge to start beaming. He didn’t know the last time he had felt this happy. His mind was calm, his shoulders were straight, as if a huge weight had been lifted off of him and his feet were light on the pavement.

He couldn’t help but continually sneak glances at the gorgeous creature who walked beside him. Eventually, embarrassingly, Magnus caught him as he tried for a subtle look of his own. Alec blushed lightly as Magnus’s cat eyes sparkled and he broke into a smirk.

“Alec if you want to stare at me you need only ask,” Magnus said teasingly. Alec ducked his head momentarily before, unable to help himself, looked back up at the warlock through the gaps in the dark hair that hung across his forehead.

“Or you can even take a picture if you’d like,” he was still teasing and was momentarily surprised when Alec nodded before grabbing his phone from his pocket and flipping it open.

“Smile then,” Alec prompted, shooting Magnus a grin from around the phone. The camera flashed and Alec examined the picture eagerly. The light made the fine powder that dusted Magnus’ golden skin shimmer lightly and his yellow cat eyes practically glowed.

Grinning cheerfully Alec sneakily set the picture to his phone background before Magnus could protest. As it was the warlock strode over to inspect the picture himself.

“Oh dear. It’s awful! Quick my love look away; it will burn your eyes!” Magnus yelled trying to pull the phone from Alec’s hands but the Shadowhunter batted his hands away, tucking the phone swiftly back into his pocket-not noticing the almost dead battery.

He rolled his eyes. “Don’t be ridiculous, Magnus. It’s stunning.”

Magnus continued to protest but Alec could tell that secretly he was pleased that Alec liked it. It made Alec happy that he could read Magnus so easily.

He took Magnus’ hand in his own and made to walk into the restaurant but Magnus held his ground, jerking Alec back towards him.

“Aren’t we going to go in?” Alec said.

“Not quite yet, there’s something else I want to do first.” Alec could see a mischievous spark in Magnus’s eyes.

“And what’s that?” he asked warily.

Leaning down, keeping his gaze locked with Alec’s until the last possible moment, he spoke quietly in Alec’s ear: “To kiss you.”

Alec shivered-whether from the feeling of Magnus’s breath on his ear, the words he had spoken or a combination of both he didn’t know. He didn’t really care.

Bringing his arms up he wrapped one around Magnus’s neck before pushing the fingers of the other into the silky strands of his hair that peeked out from beneath the warlock’s hat. Magnus’s rested his hands on the Shadowhunter’s slim waist before hooking his thumbs in the waistband of the black trousers and pulling Alec towards him by his hips.
