COMPLETED - A First Everything - Malec

Interwined Hands and Hearts

A/N I know I've been dead on this book but after months, there's their first time! Not explicit.

When Alec stormed in to the loft after Patrol and didn't even let Magnus get a hello out before throwing himself at the warlock and kissing him, Magnus immediately knew something was wrong. Yet he kissed Alec for a few minutes before slightly pushing the Shadowhunter away.

"What's this all about?" Magnus asked and Alec seemed to shake himself awakw from a daze.

"Um," Alec started, "I'm ready?"

He meant to say it in a confident tone, but it came out as a meek question and the Shadowhunter groaned, dropping his head onto Magnus' shoulder.

"Hm?" Magnus hummed and guided Alec to the sofa where they both sat down.

Alec didn't understand why it was so hard for him to do these things. Jace had a girl in a bedroom after two minutes and they didn't even like each other. Alec loved Magnus and yet he didn't feel ready to go beyond heated make outs.

"Sweetheart," Magnus said gently, "What's brought this on?"

"We've been together five months, Magnus," Alec tried to explain what was going on in his head, "And we haven't even seen each other shirtless in the... that context."

"That's not an issue, darling," Magnus said, cupping Alec's cheek, confused as to why his Shadowhunter had suddenly brought this up.

"You say that to me," Alec said, facing the floor, "But surely you don't actually think that. You're.. you're you, Magnus."

"What's that meant to mean?" Magnus asked, still absolutely confused.

Alec sighed, "During Patrol, Jace and I went to this late night restaurant place because it was a really quiet night, and these faeries were talking and they said..."

Magnus gently tilted Alec's face up, "What'd they say, darling?"

"That the only reason you could possibly be with a Shadowhunter was because they... they would be a slut and would be good at sex."

Alec's face fell again and a corner of his mind kept nagging at him, telling him that was true. When Alec finally gained enough confidence to face Magnus again, the warlock seemed to be fuming.

"Alec," Magnus said softly, "You know that's not true. You know that I love you for you, and if all you were comfortable with was hugging, you know I'd still love you."

When Alec stayed silent, Magnus nudged him, "You know that, don't you?"

"Yeah," Alec whispered, "But it's still not fair on you."

"In what way, Alexander?" Magnus started, "I think it'd be more unfair on me if we rushed into it and you didn't even enjoy yourself. It'd be unfair on you if we did it only for me. This is about both us, and both of us wanting to be closer. It's not just a physical want, Alec. It's more than that. It's so much more than that."

"I do want all of that with you," Alec said desperately, "Maybe if we... if we started it then, I'll be fine."

"That's not how it works, sweetheart," Magnus said ever so carefully, "When and if we do it, you'll know how it's meant to start, how you're meant to feel. Doing it tonight because of a stupid rumor and because you feel like you need to prove yourself is not how it works and it's not right. I don't want our first time to be like that."

And this time when Alec threw himself at Magnus, it was for a long hug and when he pulled away, Alec said, "Yeah. Sorry. I wasn't thinking properly. When the faeries said that, I kinda got inside my own head and just... I don't want to disappoint you Magnus. I do want everything with you, and most of the time I want you so bad. But I think I just need a while longer. Sorry-"

"Don't you dare apologise and whenever you hear something about us, just remember it's out relationship, Alec. This love is between us, so we get to decide. And for the record, I want you as well. And when you're ready, you'll know." Magnus then kissed Alec softly on the lips and pulled away, "Want to watch a movie?"

*** Few Nights Later ***

Magnus had Portalled Alec and himself to Paris for a date night and after dinner was finished they were walking hand in hand along the river Seine, talking and laughing underneath the stars.

Magnus then said something that made Alec blush and stutter and that meant Magnus immediately had to kiss him because it was one of his favourite things when Alec got so flustered. It was meant to be a quick kiss but unexpectedly, Alec had pulled him closer and was deepening the kiss.

It was dark and the main path was void of people, but just in case, Magnus guided Alec to an alleyway and pressed him against a brick wall, smiling when Alec gasped softly.

"Magnus," Alec whispered when the warlock bent his head, kissing Alec's neck and causing Alec's head to fall back against the wall.

"Alexander," Magnus mumbled back, head too cloudy to form any proper sentence.

"Do you," Alec started and had to breathe several times before finishing the sentence, "Do you think we can cut the date short?"

Magnus simply created a Portal for an answer and pushed Alec through it and when they landed in the loft, the kissing caught fire. Alec's hands were in Magnus' hair, Magnus was unbottoning Alec's shirt furiously whilst still kissing and had just enough self control to pull back.

"Do you want to stop?" he asked Alec.

Alec shook his head determindedly and Magnus threw himself back into Alec's arms, kissing even more wildly. Alec's shirt came off in a hurry and Magnus walked them back to the bedroom and snapped his fingers so that the room was lit with floating candles.

"Pretty," Alec commented, taking a moment to look at the glowing blue lights.

"Hm," Magnus sighed and pushed Alec onto the bed, and held himself above Alec. Alec went for the buttons on Magnus' shirt, and after a few failed attempts, proceeded to rip the garment off the warlock's body. Magnus grinned. "Impatient much?"

"Shut up," Alec blushed and looped his hands around Magnus' neck and brought their lips crashing onto each other. It was languid, unhurried and it felt like heaven to have Magnus is his arms, getting to feel the slopes of Magnus' back, his muscles as they rippled under Alec's touch.

Magnus moved down Alec's body, kissing his jaw, neck, chest, leaving the Shadowhunter squirming, hands tightening to fists in the silk sheets. Magnus moved so that he could hold himself above Alec again, cat eyes focussed on deep blue ones. Alec knew he'd never seen someone so beautiful before and would never see someone so beautiful ever again.

He laced his hands through Magnus' hair, glad when they fell into waves around the warlock's face and not up in spikes and gave a gentle tug. Before Magnus could even ask the question, Alec said, "I'm ready. I want you."

This time there was surety, absolute clarity in his voice, and it took all Magnus had to not ravish him completely right there and then. Instead he took a minute to cherish the moment, cherish his lovely boyfriend whos blue eyes were almost fully pupils with desire and he muttered, "I love you, Alexander."

"I love you too, Magnus," Alec's reply came and soon they were kissing again, breaths turning heavy, hands wandering and fists clenching as love shone through them like a supernova.

And when the gasps turned to whispered laughs, when hands relaxed and when Magnus was curled into Alec's side, their love only became brighter, shining ethereally over their interwined hands and hearts.
