The Way of Life (A Malec Fanfiction)

Do you want to?

As Alec wakes up, he doesn't feel Magnus' arm around him anymore. He smells coffee and decides to stand up and go to the kitchen.

He enters the kitchen and sees Magnus standing in front of the stove. He turns around and gives Alec a lovely smile.

"Hello, Alexander. Did you sleep well?"
"You know you don't have to act like a waiter anymore." Magnus smirks. "Who said that I'm acting? Maybe it's just me." He cocks an eyebrow at Alec.

Alec wears his t-shirt and his boxer. Magnus has his blue robe that is unfastened. Alec can see a little bit of his chest and his belly button.

Distracted from it, Alec doesn't feel a paw on his foot. Eventually the paw scratches him and he flinches away.

"Ow!" He looks down at the cat. It's a blue-grey cat. Alec leans down and strokes the cat. "Alexander, this is Chairman Meow."

Alec smiles at that name. "He seems to like you. You're lucky. I don't date anyone my cat doesn't like." Alec stands up blushing and finally gets to ask what Magnus is doing.

"I'm doing breakfast. You okay with eggs and bacon?" Alec nods.

Magnus makes breakfast and then gives Alec a plate with eggs ans bacon. He is about to lean down to give him a kiss, when he remembers that Alec hates morning breath.

"How did you sleep?" Magnus asks. "Really good. Thank you for being there." They both smile. "You're welcome, but that's not what I meant. How's your stomach?" He looks worried. He is worried.

"Better. That ointment helped." Magnus nods and goes to take the coffee. When he returns Alec asks him.

"Magnus can we have breakfast on your balcony, maybe? I saw it yesterday and I think it's really beautiful." "Yeah, let's go outside."

They take their plates and mugs and walk to the balcony. Since they both are morning persons - Alec more than Magnus - it's really quiet outside.

Alec notices that Magnus is really quiet. He doesn't know him much, but he knows that Magnus likes to talk.

"Is everything Okay?" He asks him.
"Yes. Why shouldn't it be?"
"You're really quiet."
"I'm just thinking..."
"About what?"
"You." Alec blushes. "Not the way you think.", he adds. "I'm just thinking what are you going to do? I mean, you can't let your dad do this again."

Alec doesn't want to talk about it, so he says nothing and stares to the sky. Magnus leans to Alec and lays his head on Alec's shoulder.

"You can't avoid this topic. We need to talk about it."
"There's nohing to talk about." Alec snaps. "I'm sorry. Didn't mean it like that. It's a hard topic to talk about."

Alec lays his head on Magnus. "I know, Alec. But not talking won't make it better." He puts a hand on Alec's thigh and caresses it.

"Give me this weekend. With you. And then I face my family. I promise."
"Okay." Magnus stands up and gives Alec a kiss on the cheek. Alec leans in and enjoys the warmth of Magnus' lips on his cheek.

They go to the bathroom and wash their teeth.
"Finally I can kiss you." Magnus says and does as he said.

They taste like toothpaste. But it feels very good. Alec's hand is in Magnus' already messy hair and the other on his shoulder. Magnus pulls Alec closer by his waist so that they are as near as possible.
