That night the two just cuddled and fell asleep in each other's arms. Too exhausted from the last couple of days for anything else and they just wanted to hold each other, needing to feel each other and the connection they shared. That morning, Magnus was woken up by a bright light in his face and realised that they had forgotten to shut the curtains last night so the sun was beaming straight onto him.

He let out a quiet moan before standing up and going over to window, shutting the curtains and blocking out the light but thats when he heard Alec stirring. He turned around and looked at the adorable frown and pout Alec had on his face while he slept, his arm sliding along the sheets where Magnus had laid but had now gone.

"M..magnus" Alec whispered out in his sleep. "No.. Magnus come back" he was still asleep and the look on his face hadn't changed, but now Magnus was smiling uncontrollably and was climbing into the bed next to him wrapping his arms around Alec and pulling him into the little spoon position. Alec instantly relaxed into Magnus's touch. Magnus couldn't help but think that even when Alec slept, he was completely smitten by the man in his arms.

Magnus woke up a couple of hours after, realising that he must of fallen asleep again but this time Alec wasn't next to him. Stretching, he got out of bed and rubbed at his sleepy eyes when he heard a quiet voice cooing out a song from the kitchen. Magnus smiled when he realised that it must be Alec singing and quietly crept towards the noise, wanting to watch him sing but not disturb him.

"Can't live, can't breathe with no air... thats how I feel whenever you ain't here.. theres no air, no air" Alec crooned as Jordon Sparks and Chris Brown sang over the radio.

Alec was carefully tossing pancakes in the air and catching them with skill back in the frying pan when he felt two arms snaked around his middle and he instantly blushed realising that Magnus had heard him singing.

"Is that how you feel without me Alexander? Like you can't breathe?" Magnus teased as he turned Alec around in his arms so they was facing each other.

"I-its just a song... you was meant to be asleep. I was making u-us breakfast. Well lunch now..." Alec smiled shyly and his cheeks flamed.

"Why are you blushing so much? You have a beautiful voice, to match your beautiful soul and face" Magnus grinned as he kissed one of Alec's reddened cheeks.

"Erm..t-thank you..." Alec replied but looked down. "D-do you want pancakes?"

"Definitely. I'm starving" Magnus said, as he went over to the coffee machine and made him a mug. "Do you need any help?"

"Do you want to get the syrup out of that cupboard and the butter out the fridge?" Alec asked, point at the cupboard so Magnus knew where to look whilst Alec finished up their pancakes and they both had a stack each.

Alec waited for Magnus to take a bite first and when he moaned in pleasure at the taste, Alec smiled and dove in himself. It was a family recipe and it was the best thing he could make. Adding a nob of butter on top and pouring over some syrup just made the taste all the more pleasing.

As they ate Alec asked questions about Magnus's life realising that he didn't really know much about him. He knew about his mother and step-father but never about his school or childhood or even about his time with Camille and her mother. Alec soon learned that when Magnus was taken in by another foster family, they lived next door to Camille and the two became really close when Magnus found out that Camille Mother and his had been friends too but lost contact and that she was distraught when she found out about her death. Camille's mother had soon adopted Magnus a little while after and when she had died herself, the two had moved in together. Alec now understood how important Camille had been to Magnus and was heart broken for him to loose such an big person in his life.

Magnus had stopped that conversations not long after, worried that he would ruin the mood too much and he was enjoying his time with Alec. Instead they spoke about their favourites of thing. Magnus found out that Alec was a huge country music fan, and clearly he loved animals as well as his favourite movie being The Harry Potter films. Alec had found out that Magnus was more of a pop and R&B fan, loved a romantic comedy or romance novel and that his favourite films were Thor, mainly because of Chris Hemsworth.

"Wow, that was amazing, what is the secret?. My man is beautiful, has an amazing soul, can sing and can cook?Is there anything you can't do Alexander?" Magnus asked resting his head in his hands and looking up adoringly at Alec when they had finished.

"Cinnamon and...erm...D-dance.." Alec answered, giving Magnus a small smile before standing up and clearing their plates.

"Wait you can't dance?" Magnus asked standing up and following Alec, putting away the butter and the syrup. "Really?"

"Well I mean... I can... just not you know, very well... and never in front of people.." Alec shrugged as he loaded the plates into the dishwasher.

"Show me?" Magnus said, turning up the music on the radio so that B.O.B and Bruno Mars- Nothin' on you was playing louder.

"What? No... no way" Alec retorted, throwing his arms up in surrender.

"Don't be silly Alexander. Come here" Magnus chuckled taking Alec's hands a pulling him in the middle of the room and flush against his body. "Let me show you baby" Magnus whispered into Alec's ear as he wrapped a hand around his waist and held the his hand with the other one.

Magnus started to move them around the room, twirling and gliding around the space and Alec couldn't help but smile. He still wasn't the best and every now and then he'd stand on Magnus's feet but Magnus never complained, only smiled and spun Alec around. Both men laughing and giggling together, enjoying the sweet moment between one another after all the rubbish that had been thrown at them.

Alec couldn't help but feel a slight watering in his eyes as he looked down at Magnus, so much love for the man in his arms and it had only been a short space of time. They had been through so much recently but yet they had come out the other end, because they both knew that they was better together then apart. They needed one another, and they was willing to fight for each other.

"See you can dance Alexander" Magnus beamed, looking up into Alec's eyes.

"I have a good teacher. A good teacher for a lot of thing" Alec smirked, only slightly blushing though.

"Oh really? How about I give you another lesson?" Magnus smirked and placed his lips onto Alec's tenderly.
