Ps; The above is Max Lightwood-Bane and the others are from the cast of the Shadowhunter series.

Cas knocked on the consul's door, and Max looked up and his face broke into a huge grin Cas reflecting it.

"Is the consul a little too busy for me to congratulate him?", Cas asked entering and Max walked around the table and hugged Cas.

"No you are always welcome", Max said pulling away but never stepping away, Cas also stayed in Max's arms.

"Congratulations", Cas said softly looking into the beautiful blue eyes he got from his dad, "Thank you", Max muttered.

"So I need to ask you a favor, I am so sorry, but Jack asked me to", Cas said and Max chuckled, "It's ok Cas", he said stepping away and Cas immediately missed that warmth for an angel.

Cas told him what happened and Max nodded, "Sure, but I need a month or so to clean up, you can call them soon after", Max said.

"Thank you", Cas said and they locked eyes drowning in them, "So... I know that shadowhunters fall in love once, what about you?", Cas asked and cursed himself in his mind for being so blunt.

Max chuckled, "It is true, my dad and my uncles and aunts are perfect examples for that, but I am half warlock so, I fall in love till death does apart", he said and Cas's breath hitched.

"So anyone catch your eyes?", Cas asked looking away, "One did, a special angel, he still is special, but I think he is in love with someone else", Max said coyly and Cas's eye snapped to his.

"Not anymore, maybe the angel had a change of mind ever since he started to get to know about this certain shadowhunter over the past few months", Cas whispered, Max looked surprised but smiled and took a step towards Cas.

"So maybe death won't do us apart", Max said, "But", Cas said touching Max's chest, stopping him, "You have to know, I am broken beyond repair and you are not my first love", he said and Max smiled.

"Everyone is broken in one way or another, it's the point on who is willing to mend it patiently and not walk away, you are not my first love too, but you will surely be my last if we don't push each other away", Max said and Cas's eyes teared up a bit and he nodded.

"So how about we go on a date today evening?", Max asked, "Date? Like out somewhere?", Cas asked and Max chuckled wrapping his arms around Cas's waist.

"Not out somewhere if you don't want to but in my home, just us together", Max said and Cas smiled softly.

"I would love that", Cas said and they both leaned, "Maxie my sweet nephew", Jace said entering and stopping, "Oops I'll see you later, use protection", Jace said turning away.

"You are such a cockblock Uncle Jace", Max called out as Cas closed his eyes chuckling and letting his head fall on Max's shoulder.

"I know", Jace called from the hallway and Max hugged Cas closer, "Herondales are asses", Cas muttered.

"Amen", Max said kissing Cas's head, Cas pulled away and kissed Max's cheek, "I'll see you in the evening", Cas said and was going to walk away but Max held his hand.

"I know it's a little too early, but I think I love you", Max said softly, Cas looked at him surprised and he went to talk.

"Don't, I know I am ready to hear it when you are ready to say it, I can wait, we have all the time in the World", Max said and Cas smiled at him thankfully.

"I'll see you soon", Cas said and left with a content smile on his face in a long time, the evening was going to be eventful.

~ The Evening ~

Cas knocked on the door of Max Lightwood-Bane's door, he was wearing his usual trenchcoat but he was wearing a different outfit other than that, a casual one and he looked gorgeous.

Max opened the door smiling and was knocked out of his breath, "Wow you look handsome", he said and Cas smiled and entered.

"I heard people give flowers on dates, so I bought you these", Cas said giving Max a bouquet with carnations, sunflowers, and daisies.

"Thank you, they are beautiful", Max said kissing Cas's cheek, "They represent love, affection, and care and they won't wither, I made sure of that", Cas explained saying the unsaid words through the flowers.

Max's eyes glinted, "That's all I need", Max said and led Cas in, they sat down on the couch with wine.

"Do you get drunk easily?", Max asked, "I am an angel Max, so no, but I hope you don't cause as far as I know Nephilim don't drink", Cas said getting comfortable both looking at each other.

"We don't, but we drink on special occasions and since I am part warlock I don't get drunk", Max said and Cas smiled.

"Good", Cas smiled, "So how are you?", Cas asked and Max smiled, "I am great, it was hard when I lost Mina 35 years ago, but she lived a full life and my family was there to let me grieve and pull me out to not let me drown in them", Max explained and Cas stroked Max's hair subconsciously.

"What I don't get is, I and Mina had a rocky relationship, but we came back to each other at the end of the day, but my parents and uncles and aunts are willing to spend the rest of their life with each other and I have never seen them fight seriously", Max said leaning into Cas's hands.

"They are special, even the angels have seen that, that's why we gave them immortality, the World will always need them", Cas said.

"And thank you for opening up, I know it's hard to talk about the past", Cas said and Max smiled, "I feel safe with you, I trust you, so it isn't much", Max said and Cas smiled and kissed his forehead making Max smile.

They opened up more talking deeper than one usually does on their first date, but they found closure in that, by the end of the conversation they were sitting really close.

"So I'm making dinner", Max whispered, their faces were inches away and Cas nodded but neither of them moved.

Slowly the two of them leaned in and that was it, fireworks, it was a perfect kiss to be said simply.

The heat of the moment, the rush of desire, and the perfect kiss set the heart on fire and it did. It set their bodies, hearts, and souls on fire.

A perfect kiss is a dance of lips and tongues, a sweet symphony of breath and touch, yet there was softness in it.

They pulled away reluctantly and Cas opened his eyes softly, "I love you", he whispered and Max smiled and pulled Cas into his arms and kissed him again and again with the biggest smile on his face, "I love you so damn much", Max said and Cas chuckled in the kiss both falling back on the couch tangle in each other's arms, holding each other.
