To Belong- (Malec AU)

Chapter 10

Magnus' POV

As I slowly opened my eyes, I was hit with a massive pounding in my head. I winced in pain, shutting my eyelids tight in order to shut the headache out. The rush of pain settled, allowing me to realize that I had a large arm wrapped around my waist. While I laid on my back, I quickly turned my head to look down at the perfect site embracing me. Alec lay shirtless to my left, arms wrapped around my waist in a firm embrace. His face was calm and smooth, showing no sign of distress on the small grin glowing on his face. Alec's hair was like a wild, raven nest on top of his head, highlighted from the sun pouring in from the room's window. He looked at peace.

Bringing my hand to his jawline, I traced my fingers across his smooth skin, moving from his jawline down to his neck and prominent collarbone. I smiled as the memories of last night came rushing back to me: a very tipsy Alec who did not want to go to sleep. I rolled to my side, scooting over to face Alec's sleeping figure. Alec's grip on me grew tighter, bringing his head to rest on my shoulder, nose embedding into my neck. I let out a small giggle as Alec's eyelids fluttered open and his deep breath ran across my neck. Alec squeezed himself closer to me, rubbing his face further into my shoulder. With a groan of pain, Alec leaned his head back to look into my eyes.

His blue irises looked tired, small creases gathered under his eyes. Alec's forehead also creased as the pain in his head came rolling past. "Magnus, my head hurts," Alec whispered, eyes shutting due to the pain.

"I know, Alexander. We had a wild night last night," I breathed out, smiling at the memory. Alec quickly opened his eyes, peering back at me with a shocked expression. He looked down and noticed that we were both shirtless.

"Wait....Magnus. Did we...?" He quickly said, confusion and nervousness laced in between. I couldn't help but laugh at his nervousness.

"Of course we didn't, Alec," I laughed. "You were super tipsy last night and would only go to sleep if I took off my shirt, which I obviously did. Then you took off your shirt and fell asleep."

Alec took a deep inhale, releasing his past thought into the air. "Oh, thank God," he happily said, giving me a small smile. "I can barely remember anything after we kissed on the dance floor."

"Well after that amazing coming out kiss, you proceeded to have a couple more drinks in celebration. I, being the responsible adult that I am, decided to not get too wasted so that I could watch over you. Good thing I did, because who knows who you would have taken to bed if I wasn't there to sensibility watch over you," I laughed out at the memory.

Alec proceeded to hit me across the arm, blushing in embarrassment. "You should have stopped me! And when have you ever not been drunk at a party?" Alec replied, amusement in his voice.

"I don't think ever. See, Alexander! You are a great influence on me," I chuckled, pulling my hand over to his cheek to pinch it.

"And you are a terrible one on me," he laughed, gesturing in between our chests. I smirked at him, relishing in his new found cheekiness. "Was that all that happened last night? I just got shitfaced?"

Shaking my head, I let out a light chuckle. "You had like two more cups of beer, Alexander. You were gone after that," I said, attempting to not choke on my laughter. Alec buried his face in a pillow, lightly laughing at last night's drunken actions. "Then you decided to dance with me, which I will never forget because you were so clumsy and adorable. All through that, you kept telling me how "hot" I looked and how you liked my ass. You then proceeded to take me up to my room to get me undressed, which sort of happened. All we did was kiss, if you are worried about that. But, yes, last night was so funny."
