Mutual Attraction at First Sight

First of all, hello! Thanks for clicking on the read button! I hope you enjoy this little Malec fanfic, it won't have chapters because it is more of a short story. Except it's a long short story. So yeah, comment your thoughts! Constructive criticism is very much appreciated and I hope you enjoy! GAY SHIPS ARE YAY SHIPS! Also please don't judge the romantic/kissing parts cause I'm 13 and inexperienced in that department. Unless you count books and fanfiction as expericence😂

"What?" Magnus chuckled as he wrapped his arm around Alec and drew him closer. "Why are you staring at me?" Magnus asked as he looked into his boyfriend's beautiful blue eyes. He has such wonderful eyes, Magnus thought, a lovely striking blue. When I first laid eyes on him I thought he was a Herondale, Magnus remembered smiling to himself. "I wasn't staring," Alec mumbled "I was just observing." Alec's eyes looked thoughtful, as they reflected the light from the TV. And almost sad. "Well you were 'observing' me for quite a long time," Magnus smirked. He stopped smirking when he noticed the serious look on Alec's face. "Why do you love me?" Alec asked, somewhat ashamed of the words he had just spoken. Magnus shifted uncomfortably on the couch, as he reached for the remote and switched off the TV, before turning to face Alec.

"What do you mean Alexander? Do you not think I love you?" Magnus' voice came out strained. "Because I do, Alexander, I do, more than anyone and anything," his words were rushed, "even more than Chairman" Magnus smiled, somewhat nervously, as he nodded his head in the direction of the cat, which lay fast asleep at Alec's feet. "By the Angel, no!" Alec exclaimed, almost jumping from the couch, and narrowly avoiding kicking Chairman Meow in the head. He shook his arms frantically in front of him, "No, no, no! Of-of course I know that, I-I was just curious as to why-why me?" Alec swallowed. "You mean other than the fact you're smart, kind, brave and have my favourite combination; black hair and blue eyes?" Magnus could list a thousand and one things he loved about Alec! But oh how Alec was so insecure about himself; another thing Magnus loved-but also hated-about him.

Magnus breathed out heavily "Look Alec, I could sit here and list so many wonderful things about you, so many reasons as to why I love you..." He trailed off, unsure of what to say next. "Look some believe in love at first sight, I for one do not," "What-" Magnus lifted a finger, cutting off Alec. "But, I do however believe in a-" He searched for the right word, "an attraction of sorts. A 'spark' as some might call it. And when I looked at you, for the very first time," Magnus' eyes were sincere as he looked into the deep ocean that were Alec's eyes, "I saw that spark-I felt it. It had been so long time since I had felt that way-had felt anything like that really. But this feeling, this spark, it also felt different. It felt like I was being awakened from a long slumber, like my eyes had finally opened up after centuries and centuries. Like I had been inside a glass encasement all these years, and it had finally been smashed open. It felt like a breath of fresh air, no more than that, it felt as if I'd been underwater for a long time, and I had resurfaced, that first breath. The first breath you take when you come up, that's what I felt; relief, happiness-alive."

Alec had been sitting there silently, his mouth slightly ajar, taking in every word Magnus said. He felt happy and more than that-amazed! Slowly, he smiled, each second his grin growing wider; he could feel his face crinkling up, and he laughed. Not in a mean way, he just laughed, the way a child might when they try to pop bubbles too far out of their reach. A laugh of pure happiness, and Magnus, seeing the look of happiness in his boyfriend's eyes; brighter than the reflection from any TV, laughed too. Chairman Meow, woke up as Alec-accidentally-kicked him in the side. Not too pleased with being disrupted from his nap and even more so from being kicked, Chairman meowed loudly as he stretched. He got up and walked into the kitchen, hoping to find an open pantry in which he could steal food from. As strode across the living room, he looked back at the two silly half-humans on the couch. He rolled his eyes, and if he could speak, one might think he would've said something along the lines of "Romance-blech."

Alec recovered himself first, he went to reach for Magnus's hand but instead his mouth reached for Magnus'. As their lips connected, a rush of pure pleasure streamed through the both of them. Magnus let out a surprised moan as he pulled Alec on top of him. Alec grasped onto the back of Magnus' shirt, feeling just how fine the material was. Within a blink of an eye, the shirt had been thrown across the room. Making a soft thump as it hit the the ground. They moved together as one; their lips, their hands, their hips. They were one.

"Moochel atraxon" Alec mumbled against Magnus' soft lips. They tasted like a sweetened watermelon, Alec thought to himself. Watermelon, Alec smiled to himself, Magnus' favourite gum flavour. "Hmm?" Magnus said, his lips still pressed against Alec's. Alec pulled away slightly and their lips separated, but their foreheads still touched. "Mutual attraction," Alec repeated. "You don't believe in love at first sight, and neither do I. But what I about mutual attraction?" "Mutual attraction...at first sight." Magnus whispered to either Alec or himself, Alec wasn't quite sure.

"Yes, mutual attraction at first sight," Magnus beamed. "That's it, that's exactly what I mean!" "I couldn't have said it better myself," Alec mumbled against his boyfriend's forehead. "But I'm not the one who said it, was I?" Magnus looked at his Alexander, somewhat proud of him. "I suppose not," Alec said smiling to himself, wondering if Magnus could tell that he was blushing. "Mutual attraction at first sight then?" Alec whispered before placing his lips on Magnus'. "Mutual attraction at first sight, my love, mutual attraction at first sight." Mumbled Magnus, the last of the words barely forming as he kissed Alec. And he kissed like he'd never kissed anyone before. And probably never would.
