Stay With Me.

Chapter 15.

Alexander's POV

I woke at Six A.M. and started getting ready for work. I hated to leave him after the night we had. But I didn't have a choice. Work always interfered with our relationship. We've had so many fights over it, but I knew Magnus knew there was nothing I could do about it- even if he did get upset with me about it.

I finished dressing and gently kissed Magnus' sleeping face. I whispered an 'I love you' and headed out the door, starting the walk to the Institute.

The day was long and seemed to last forever but I was finally released and allowed to go home. I went back to Magnus' loft and found he wasn't home. I frowned, I was looking forward to seeing him. He didn't even leave a note.

I went to our room and changed out of my gear. I wore boxers and a big comfy sweater. I got a blanket and wrapped it around me, I went to the couch and relaxed a little.

When Magnus finally got home, I sat up amd smiled at him, "Hi Magnus."

He smiled back at me, "Hey sweet pea." He sat next to me on the couch, I laid down and put my head in his lap.

"Where did you go," I asked as he began to play with my hair.

"Catarina needed my help with a spell, I thought I would be done before you got home, but it took longer than I thought."

"Oh- okay."

They were silent for a few minutes. "Marry me," Magnus said.

"W-What!"

"Be my husband."

I sat up, "Magnus- that's a big commitment."

"I know. But we've been playing it off too long. Do you want me to get down on one knee and give you the entire speech?"

"No- that's not needed."

"Well?"

"Okay. I mean- yes. Yes I can- I mean- I will marry you," I flushed as I stumbled on my words.

Magnus grinned and gave me a kiss. I kissed back but more passionately, which took Magnus by surprise. But Magnus' surprise was even bigger, I was not expecting that from him so soon.

We kissed for a while and then we had dinner. After we went to bed. The next morning I woke up happy and refreshed.
