Say My Name

Just a prompt from tumblr: Say My Name

Kinda ended up being in some chronological order somehow in their relationship, idk

"Alexander Lightwood."

"It's just Alec." Alec corrected automatically, when he heard his name spoken with an unfamiliar but alluring lilt to the syllables. He turned around to face the speaker and was greeted by a tall, handsome man, leaning against the bar's counter. His green cat-like eyes glinted in the low lighting, his high arching cheekbones highlighted by the smirk sliding across his face.

"How about a drink, Alexander?"

"Do you want to come in?" Magnus asked inquisitively, as Alec stood, looking rather uncomfortable, outside the door to his flat.

"I don't think I should." Alec mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Alec." Magnus sighed gently, rather disappointed. Alec looked up, his face a mixture of reproach and want.

"You don't call me that." Alec protested softly. Magnus looked at him, confused for a moment.

"I like it-" Alec was blushing feverishly at this point, but he continued, "when you call me by my full name. The way it sounds, the way you say it, I guess." He kept his eyes on the ground during his confession, apparently not brave enough to look Magnus in the eye.

"Alexander," Magnus breathed. He reached out and gently lifted Alec's chin, bringing his shy blue eyes up to meet his own. "Alexander." He slid his hand to the back of Alec's neck and wrapped his other arm around Alec's waist, pulling him closer. "Alexander." And he brought his lips down on to Alec's, sweetly + gently at first but then more urgently with bruising pressure. Alec's hands came up to run through Magnus's dark hair and hold him just as securely as Magnus kissed him.

They broke apart with a small gasp, their foreheads still resting against each other's as they caught their breath. Alec's eyes flicked up to meet Magnus's intense gaze and they seemed to come to an agreement.

"I think you should come in, Alexander." And this time, he didn't protest.

They crashed on the bed, urgently pulling at each other's clothes. Alec took the initiative and pushed Magnus down on the bed before climbing on to straddle the warlock, effectively pinning him to the bed.

"Took you long enough to get back," Alec growled at Magnus as he fumbled with the buttons on his shirt.

"It's not my fault, I didn't realize that it was gonna take 3 hours to fix that dumb vampire's problem. You think I would have chosen to make my super hot boyfriend wait in bed for me than actually be in bed with him?" Magnus responded indignantly as could while he was being pinned in place.

Alec grunted in frustration before simply ripping the shirt right off, buttons be damned.

"Alexander!" Magnus scolded. "That was one of your few nice shirts."

"Would you rather me put it back on?" Alec teased wickedly, as he saw Magnus's eyes wander down his face to his chest to his stomach and lower.

"Of course not, less clothes is always preferable." Magnus purred affectionately, arching his back so he would rub against Alec above him.

"Naughty warlock, making me wait all night," Alec mused, trailing a hand down Magnus's chest. "Good thing I'm not as innocent as you think I am." With that, he leaned down and put his mouth right next to Magnus's war and suggested some decidedly inappropriate ways in which Magnus would pay for making him wait.

Magnus's eyes practically bugged out of his head, "Alexander!" And it was decidedly only one of many times Magnus would scream his name that night.

Magnus sat on the sofa, glancing every so often to the door that remained closed no matter how many times he looked at it.

"Where is he?" He asked Chairman Meow worriedly, checking the time again. Alec had gone out on a late night demon hunting expedition with his sibilants and he hadn't returned in a few hours.

But then he could hear the key jingling in the lock, the dead bolt sliding open. Magnus launched up and off the sofa, skittering towards the door where his boyfriend was coming in. His excitement for Alec returning home was dampened only by the little voice in the back of his head whispering of injuries and blood and pain.

The door squeaked open and Alec cautiously peeked in.

"Alexander!" Magnus called, his face breaking into a smile.

"Hey Mags, I was hoping you wouldn't be up." Alec replied gently, tried to fight off the smile that Magnus's infectious happiness always brought but he wasn't very successful.

"When was the last time I wasn't up when you got home?" Magnus replied indignantly. Alec shook his head in reproach, his shoulders shaking in quiet laughter, "All right, all right you win." He surrendered, letting Magnus pull him to their bedroom.

As Magnus busied himself brushing his teeth and pulling the comforter down on the bed, he could feel Alec's steady gaze on his back. He slowed his pace, turning to look at the Shadowhunter questioning.

"Is something wrong?" Magnus asked worriedly, starting toward his boyfriend, now scrutinizing him for wounds or injuries he must have missed when Alec came in. When he got within arms reach, suddenly Alec's hands were on either sides of his face and pulling him in for an urgent kiss.

Magnus made a small noise of surprise but Alec arched his back to mold himself against Magnus and Magnus felt himself melting into the embrace and pressing himself closer against Alec, succumbing to the surprise kiss.

All too soon, Magnus had to pull away for air, though still dangerously pressed up against Alec's solid chest.

"Not that I mind at all, but what was that for?" Magnus asked. Alec looked at him beseechingly, his eyes filled with wonder and adoration and pride and -

"I think that I-, no I know that- I love you Magnus Bane. I love you." Alec's face was flushed from the cold night air, from the kiss, from the adrenaline. His blue eyes were wide and sincere and Magnus naturally responded with the first thing his brain thought of.

"I have and will always love you, Alexander."

I'm actually kinda proud of this. No heartbreak or angst, just nice happy things and I feel like it's pretty well organized and I don't know, I just like it. As always, vote and leave suggestions or pretty much anything in the comments.
