Mature content ahead, you've been warned.

"Wait what?" Magnus asked unsure of what he heard of.

"Yes, yes I'll marry you." Magnus couldn't believe what he just heard, after all these years of fighting and chasing and the horrid memories of them being together is finally paid off with Alec saying his agreed to marry him.

"On one condition." Magnus said crossing his arm around his chest, he stood from his earlier positioned and looking smug as ever. "What?" Alec replied. "There's no running away anymore, whenever things in our life gets hard, no matter what happened, you will never escape me again, or run for the hills. You said yes means that you are in this, we all are in this together. I need someone who will stay permanent in my life not some run away misfit."

Magnus huffed after he's done, letting out an exasperating exhale filling the void in his chest released. Alec still hasn't say anything and yet he stood a feet away from him pressing his lips together. "Maybe before I say anything I should informed you that I'm leaving for New York." He said in one breath and Magnus' face fall in sudden and changed from hopeful to sudden disappointment.

"Why? Why New York?" He asked looking curious on Alec's decision. "I was offered there. I told them I'm in, send out my acceptance and everything. I will leave next month to sign the contract and finding an apartment. Thought you should know." Alec said placing his hand in his pocket letting his feet played with the gravel underneath.

Magnus slowly approached him and stood before Alec, their face literally inch away from each other and warm breaths heated up both faces. "Then I guess we haven't much time to plan the wedding." Alec face light up as soon as he heard and smile crept on his face, he didn't think twice before he pressed his lips on Magnus' again and letting him succumbed to his enjoyment.

He sniffles the tears that began to drop and Magnus wiped it off with his thumb, "Hey, what's wrong?" He asked concerned of his lover, "I'm telling you that it won't get easier, its even uglier and I don't know what to do." He said, Magnus cupped his cheek with both of his hand as they both stared into each others eyes. "I will never leave you, nor should you ever leave me again. We work best together rather than alone, hell I even sleep better with you." Alec smiled and soft chuckles escaped his lips after he heard Magnus' words.

He sighed leaning against each other's foreheads and closed their eyes while their hand are caressing their body, "What's important now is you clear that beautiful head of yours and let it worry only about the wedding. Nothing else." Magnus whispered and Alec nodded leaning against him for another kiss.

"I'm such a mess." Alec whispered while rubbing his face with his palm clearing the tears that wet his cheeks. Magnus chuckles softly before he helped wiping the tears away with the base of his thumb, "You're my mess, I love you and all the mess that you have is part of me too." He slowly opened the box again and take out the ring. Alec eyed his every move and held out his hand for him.

"Alexander Gideon Lightwood, from now onwards, you are officially mine, mess and all." Alec chuckled again now tears still dropping on his cheek as Magnus put the ring on him. He took another ring and held Magnus hand on his, "Magnus Bane, I can't promise you that life with me would be rainbow and sunshine all the time, but I do promise you that I will try my best in being the source of your happiness and I will never run away again."

Alec slipped the ring and looked at Magnus directly in his brown eyes, "Promise?" Magnus asked, his eyes filled with hope and Alec nodded before leaning and kissed his lips. Magnus raised his hand and pulled Alec by the neck to kiss him deeper and he smiled. He opened his mouth letting Magnus' tongue to enter and he dominate in every way he could. He misses this, he misses everything about it. How Magnus kissed him, hold him in his embrace. Whenever they are together they feel like complete set of coin with each different sides, him being the cold ice filled with darkest past while Magnus the fiery hot that burns his coldness away. Nothing could explained this, no one could explained their bond, their love and basically their existence is drawn together.
