"Alexander?" Magnus whispered under his breath, thinking it wasn't loud enough for Alec to hear him, they stood before each other with Magnus stand at top of the stairs and Alec at the bottom. It wasn't that much of heights different considering the stairs is only five steps in, for some reason Magnus felt their distance is close but yet so far away from each other. They stared upon each other when Mary notice the silence awkward moment in between them and cleared her throat, bringing both of them back to reality. Magnus shook his head clearing his throat before turning his head to his side facing Mary. She raised her eyebrow and with a small smile curved at the edge of her pale lips. Magnus looked at her with confusion but then decided to ignore it, he turned back his head to face the man he once loved, or still in love who had his eight years old child in his embrace, this brings back memories.

He took his steps down the stairs and closing the gap and for some reason, Alec's breath hitched and his chest starts to thump like a drum, he could feel it in his chest and he sure bet Rafe would too but he was fast asleep in his embrace. "We haven't been properly introduce, I'm Magnus, Magnus Bane." He held out his hand for Alec which he had his eyes on them and slowly lifting his hand to meet Magnus'. "Alec, Lightwood." He said with confident and for some reason he wonders why he had this tingling feelings in him. Their hands met and the sparks hit in between them, Alec felt tingling in between his palm but he doesn't want to let go, he want to keep it there for the rest of his life.

Flashes of image appears, black and white but he could make out a guy sitting on a chair behind the desk, his sleeves folded to his elbow, Alec couldn't see his face but only his forearm. Muscular and intimidating, hairless but an arm that he felt safe if being wrapped in them. The fingers were long and the nails were trimmed nicely, probably manicured but he felt the urge to wrap his fingers between them, his eyes never leave the guy hands but he had his focused there for some reason.

"Alexander, Alec!" Magnus shook his shoulder and his eyes moved from their hand towards Magnus brown eyes. He cleared his throat and blinked several times and the images gone, he was back at the current state, facing the guy who he bumped few days ago. "Y-Yeah sorry, I was lost in my thoughts. Umm he- uhm." He was trying to find his words but couldn't figured out a single sentenced. "I'll take him." He said handing out his hand for Rafe and Alec feeling of emptiness and longing when Magnus pulled Rafe away from him but to his luck, Rafe refused to let go of his neck and instead of pulling Rafe away, Magnus accidentally pulled Alec towards his chest.

He stumbled and their body bumped into each other with Rafe in the middle separate them from their intimacy. "Uff." Alec almost fell towards Magnus chest but he held Alec's both shoulder preventing him from it. "S-Sorry." He apologized which Magnus snickered. "Its not your fault Alexander, he always like a boa constrictor when he fell asleep like this." There's something about how he said Alec name that he find it odd.

They stood before each other with Tom and Mary witnessing the encounter, for Tom it would be really awkward but to Mary she can't stop smiling her cheek hurt. "I-I guess I should bring him inside to put him on the bed then." He said and Magnus smirk at the thought. "Sure, I'll show you where it is." He held out his hand showing his way but Alec turned back to his driver, "Tom, it'll be just a minute." Alec said and he nodded with a smile. "Nonsense, you're coming inside, its freezing out here." Magnus said waving his hand to let him into his house. "Its not necessary Mr Bane. I'll be fine out here." He said but Magnus' face changed, his face is stern and its shown anger, "I don't let people freeze outside my house and I expect you obeyed otherwise you can leave, I will take Alexander home." His voice is fixed and stern and for some reason, his dominancy made Tom agreed and he turned off the car heading inside following the rest of them.
