15. The Unknown Enemy

*3 months later*

Alec was mesmerized by the beauty sitting infront of him, gazing at his soft caramel skin, plump pink lips, chocolate brown eyes having a perfectly shaped eyeliner, dark kohl with wine red glittery eyeshadow enhancing his perfect small eyes, the bulge of his Adam's apple, the hollow of his neck, his perfectly manicured nails coated with wine colored nail paint, his perfectly spiked up hairs having streaks of wine color at its edge, the silver ear cuffs, the goatee complimenting his facial features, several necklaces covering his perfectly toned chest, the deep wine button down shirt with Chinese collar having golden embroidery over it's left shoulder part, top of the sleeves and cufflinks, with golden buttons, tucked in jet black pants was emphasizing his perfectly shaped six pack abs. He couldn't keep his eyes off of him.

It's been three months since they've been dating, and these three months were the best three months of Alec's life. So much happened in these three months. He met Magnus whom he fell in love at first sight. He told him things, about Samuel, about his father, well not everything, but enough that he was comfortable with, which he hasn't shared with anyone else. Magnus had always been patient with him, with everything he faced with Samuel, he had always helped him to recover, treated him with respect, and he can't deny that he got much better in these months. He no longer gets affected by yelling, and no longer flinches with intimate touches, though the sex step is still a big step for him, he's glad that Magnus had always respected it and given him time.

On Magnus' part, he had stopped asking him about his past, not that he's not curious but he had come to terms with it. He had accepted that Magnus would open up to him one day, and he'd wait for it, not force him to tell something and ruin what they had. He enjoys every second with Magnus and there's no doubt that he is falling for him stronger and stronger with every passing day. Alec knows that he's in love with him, but he's scared to tell him, scared that if he would tell Magnus about his feelings, everything might change.

"Alexander! Alexander! Earth to Alexander!" Magnus yelled, looking at his boyfriend with curious eyes.

"Huh! Ah! Yeah?" He gulped when he saw Magnus' eyes boring at him.

"Were you even listening to what I was saying?" He shot up an eyebrow at him.

"Uh.. Umm.. I..." He looked away, looking at anything but Magnus.

"What were you even thinking about?" He questioned, picking up his wine glass from the ground.

"You." He whispered, cheeks becoming red in an instant.

Magnus choked on his drink and looked at the young Shadowhunter, the crimson creeping on his face was beautiful. He smirked and touched his cheek gently.

Alec looked at him when he felt his hand on his cheek. He leaned into the touch, a soft smile forming on his lips.

"Oh, you're so beautiful when you blush like that!"

"Magnus!" Alec glared at his boyfriend but sighed eventually.

Magnus looked at Alec while caressing his cheek. Earlier when they planned their date, they decided to go casual, but he didn't know that the shadowhunter was going to look hot as hell. He was wearing a sapphire blue button-down shirt having silver buttons and dark gray trousers. The top three buttons were undone showing a little of his chest hair, but when he rolled up his sleeves, he was a complete goner. He was in doubt ogling at the Greek god sitting in front of him.

"Magnus!? Now who's the one zoned out?"

"Blame yourself for looking so hot!" He looked at him innocently and sipped his drink.

Alec shook his head, he was used to his sassy remarks. Not a day goes by without hearing it. Either it's pointed at him, at his clients, or his poor Parabatai. In these three months, whenever they went on missions together, Jace always managed to get under Magnus' skin earning his sassy comments, which later Alec had to pay for, in training with his Parabatai. He crawled towards Magnus and laid down on the soft grass, resting his head on his boyfriend's lap, and looking over the sky. "It's beautiful!" He whispered, his honey hazel eyes filled with gleam.
