The One That Got Away

Chapter 7

"Wow, your place is really nice." Alec commented once they'd arrived at Magnus' loft. He stood near the doorway, his eyes wondering around the apartment with amazement. The place was filled with fancy furniture and many glass ornaments and decor. "So you live here by yourself?" he asked. Magnus nodded as he walked further inside the apartment.
"Don't worry, we won't be interrogated here." he answered, and Alec laughed just slightly.
"So, can I get you a drink?" Magnus offered.
"Okay sure." Alec said, despite not being much of an alcohol drinker. And with that, Magnus disappeared into the kitchen for a moment, before coming back out to the living room with two glasses of wine in hand. "Thank you." Alec smiled slightly as Magnus held out the glass to him.
"Of course." Magnus said, before moving to sit down on the sofa, which Alec followed, sitting down beside Magnus.
"This is actually nice." Alec said after taking a sip of his drink. "it's not so bitter and awful tasting like some of the other drinks I've tried." Magnus chuckled slightly. "Well I'm glad you like it. And I take it that you're not much of a drinker?" he asked. Alec nodded.
"Definitely not. I'm always the sober one at parties. Not that I party often, I've only ever been to a few actually, and that's because my siblings made me go."
"So if you're not interested in drinking, or parties, then what are you interested in?" Magnus inquired. Alec thought for a few seconds.
"I guess I do like reading, and I write sometimes too." he answered.
"What do you like to write?"
"I write mostly thoughts and some poetry, but it's not any good." Alec replied.
"I'm sure it is, maybe I could read something you've written sometime?"
"I don't really show my writings to anyone, but yeah sure, maybe I'll let you read something. So what about you? What're you interested in?" Alec asked.
"I'm interested in you." Magnus answered flirtatiously, giving Alec a wink. Alec's cheeks were slightly blushed as he smiled.
"Magnus, that's not what I meant," he giggled lightly.
"I know that." Magnus said with a small chuckle. For a moment, he just gazed at Alec, admiring his cute smile.
"You're really cute, y'know that?" Magnus said, to which Alec blushed harder.
"I'm not cute." he argued, still smiling.
"Of course you are." Magnus pressed on.
"Stop that!" Alec said, giggling slightly and blushing still. Magnus smiled and laughed, and Alec just stopped and stared, and he swore in that moment that the sight of Magnus smiling and laughing was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.
"Hey, is something wrong" Magnus asked after Alec had went quiet for a moment, keeping his gaze on Magnus. 
"I was just thinking.." Alec started. "That I'd really like to kiss you again.." he said a little nervously and with such innocences.
"Then go ahead." Magnus said, and with the permission, Alec leaned in slowly, meeting their lips together. Magnus kissed back, soft yet passionate, taking the lead and Alec followed, kissing back with equal passion. Alec's hands moved to Magnus' waists, pulling him closer by the belt loops. They broke apart for just seconds for breath, before locking lips in another passionate kiss. Magnus' fingers tangled in Alec's raven black locks as he deepened their kiss, he ran his tongue across Alec's bottom lip, asking for entrance which Alec gladly permitted, parting his lips and allowing Magnus' warm tongue to enter. Alec let out a slight moan into Magnus' mouth as their tongues collided. Alec's hands had slipped under Magnus' shirt, his fingers roaming over the bare skin underneath the fabric. Magnus broke away to trail a line of sweet kisses down Alec's neck, gently biting down on the pale skin there and leaving a mark. Alec let out a slight whimper, tilting his head back and closing his eyes and he drowned in the feeling of Magnus' lips on his skin. And when he opened his eyes again, Magnus had pulled away, "w-what is it?" Alec asked in a slightly breathy voice.
"Alexander.." Magnus started. "Maybe we should press pause?"
"Y-yeah, let's do that." Alec nodded, his cheeks slightly blushed again. "Actually.. I think I should head home now." he said as he looked out the window and saw that it'd been getting dark outside.
"Okay, if you want to. I'll see you tomorrow and I promise I won't be late." Magnus told him. Alec nodded, leaning on for a quick kiss before standing up from the sofa.
"I'll see you tomorrow then, goodnight, Magnus." Alec said as he left the apartment.
