Malec - Does he know?

Sunrise

Back at camp everyone was present.

Magnus and I walked quietly into camp and found Clary and Jace cuddled up next to each other, spooning, in each their sleeping bags. Jace had his arm firmly wrapped around Clary's little body. Like he wanted to make sure she was safe and warm, even in his sleep. They both had the sweetest little smiles on their faces.

Simon and Izzy was also lying next to each other, facing each other, but with their hands entwined between them.

The bonfire was still burning. I guess the others had fed it new loggs when they got back. The fireflies were flying around camp like little falling stars. Magnus and I found our spots at the other side of the fire and wrapped ourselved up in our sleeping bags. We never said a word. Not wanting to break the intense romantic mood from earlier and also not to wake the others. But Magnus quietly scooched over to me and layed his head on my chest kissing it softly through my shirt and closed his eyes.

Not long after I could hear he had falled asleep. I felt like in heaven. Magnus was sleeping in my arms, the stars were twinkling bright above us and all my friends were happy and right here.

Happy Birthday to me.

******************************************************************************************************

The next morning I woke up feeling feather light kisses on my face. I couldn't help but smile, still keeping my eyes closed.
"Happy Birthday, sweetheart." Magnus whispered in my ear. "Want to keep me company? I want to go watch the sunrise over the mountains."

"Mmmm, I'd love to." I whispered back. While trying to open my eyes.

Magnus giggled and got up, taking my hand and helping me up.

We walked down to the shore and sat there watching the sun peak over the edge of the mountain top. Our hands entwined between us.

Just a few moments after I could hear quiet whispers behind us and our friends all came walking down to the shore and sat next to us in silence. Watching the sun rice.

"Happy Birthday, big brother" Izzy said quietly and put her head on my shoulder. I kissed the top of her head as a silent thank you.

Clary, whom was sitting between Jace's legs with her back up against his chest, sighed and said. "This is the most breathtaking sight I have ever seen. I never want to go home."

Jace kissed her ear and nodded.

Magnus squeezed my hand. I could feel the happiness radiating from him and I knew he could feel the same from me.

We sat there for quite some time, just enjoying the silence, when Simons stomach growled loudly. It made all of us laugh.

"Let's go get our cook on and make an awesome breakfast for our birthday boy", Magnus proclaimed.

We all raced to the camp laughing happily. Simon even got his hands on Izzy and flipped her over his shoulder. Making her squeal. It made me laugh, seeing the two of them this close and happy. It wasn't often you saw Izzy this carefree.

Jace and Magnus worked together on getting the fire going again.
Clary, Izzy and I were preparing the food and Simon set the table.

When the fire was ready and safe to be at, to cook the food Simon and Clary helped each other to cook the sausages, the eggs and make french toast, while the other four of us got all the drinks and everything else ready at the table.

After we ate, and I ate way to much, because everything was so delicious. We sat for a little while talking and Jace was telling us about Clary falling into the water last night, because she in her semi-drunken state had been chasing fireflies and forgot to keep an eye on the shoreline. But he promised that he has "saved" her at kept her warm and snuggly. Clary was blushing fiercly, but laughed with the rest of us and kissed Jace right infront of all of us. Jace got completely flabbergasted and Clary hugged him.

Magnus grabbed my hand under the table and gave it a squeeze. I smiled at him and caught Izzy's eyes, next to Magnus and she winked at me, looking beyond excited.

"I really need to go freshen up a bit", Clary proclaimed, "I feel a bit crusty from sleeping on the ground. Izzy want to join me? We could go up the stream a bit and get a little privacy."
Jace smiled at her and winked. "You don't need to go by my account". Clary hit his shoulder hard and he winched. "Don't be such a guy, Jace"

Simon smiled at his friend and gave her a high five. "Good on you Fray. Don't let him get to cocky." Izzy kissed his cheek and the girls went off on their own.

"Well I have to agree with the girls. I could really need a little cleaning myself. Anybody want to join me? I'll go for a little swim and wash up." Magnus asked at looked at me with a little secret smile. I'm sure he was remembering us cleaning up last night.
We all agreed, it sure wouldn't hurt to go take a little swim and get ready for our daytrip.

Of course we ended up having a water fight while trying to get ready. It was really funny. Jace got Simon to loose his balance while trying to wash his hair, because he tricked him into thinking that the girls were back and watching us at the shore.
Magnus kept close to the shore and kept a close eye on me, while I took the chance to do some swimming up and down the shore edge.
Little did he know that I was swimming to burn some energy. I was getting very aroused by watching him wash himself with soap and shampooing his hair. Watching the suds running down his amazing tight body made me moan and I don't think the other guys would appriciate me jumping him in front of them. And I'm not sure Magnus would either.

Magnus POV:

Honestly, nothing gave me an ego boost as much as watching Alexander trying to secretly oggle me, while washing up. I could see the heat in his intense stare and I knew if wasn't fair, but I gave it my all to give him a show for his money. I made me hands work my body in the sexiest way possible and made sure to arch my back and tip me head back secually when washing my hair and use way more shampoo then necessary, just to get his juices flowing. I could see how it was working, because he slid down further into the water to hide his reaction, with each movement I made.
Watching him spring into action and take deep strokes while swimming up and down the shoreline, made me giggle to myself. I knew very well where his mind went and why he had to use some energy. It was really cute how innocent he was, but also really sweet that he didn't want to pressure me. Although I would have wanted nothing else than for us to be alone and skinny dip with him and make him moan while claiming him right here in the water. He looked beyond delicious in his shorts. But I'm not sure he's ready for that yet, even though he thinks he is. And I'm not even sure I am, although last night was amazingly sexy hearing him moan under me and I really like his big warm hands on me.

After a while, when everyone was back at camp, dressed and ready, we started to pack up, because at 9am the company with the canoes would be here and the lodge employees would be here at 8.45 to pick up all our things and transport it back to our house at the lodge.

We agreed that we all would be coupled up in the canoes and that Magnus and I would share. All the others would transport our backpacks in their canoes and Mags and I would only transport my bow and quiver, because it was so big and we needed to strap it down safely.

When everything was packed up in the lodge employees van and we had gotten our instructions from the instructors we started our little adventure.
