Chapter Two : What's Mine, Oh Look At The Time!

Thinking back on it, things weren't that different. Even before the revealing of Alec's 'secret' (that really wasn't a secret since he hadn't really known about it until that fated day he'd watched an argument unfold) the both of them had been close. Alec was still living with Magnus and they were still as in love as ever. The only difference really, was that now, there were no barriers. They knew each other inside and out, knew what would do and what wouldn't.

They trusted harder than before. Lived harder than before. ...Loved harder than before. They were open. A well-oiled machine that operated smoothly. Sure they had their rough spots every now and then (like when Alec had a minor break down when his siblings kept inquiring as to just what it was that was around his neck and "You know, it kind of resembles a collar...") and sure, they'd had their fights (like when that stupid Phouka kept on touching Alec and Magnus had nearly turned him into a cockroach "He's the one that came to my party! He should know the consequences of touching what's mine!") but through it all they were there for each other. Always. Binded not only by the vows they'd made to each other on the night Alec had formally acknowledged Magnus as his Master and Alec Magnus' slave, but by the love both held for the other.

...Neither of the two realized just how deeply that same love was about to be tested.

"Alec, darling what time are we supposed to be there-" Magnus froze in the doorway, eyes zeroing in on the blushing Shadowhunter. "Again."

Alec shifted in embarrassment, tugging at the end of the dressy black button up shirt he'd put on, feeling exposed in the long sleeved shirt and tighter-than-normal-holes-in-the-knees (holes that were intentionally put there) black jeans. "Six thirty." He replied, biting his lips shyly as he glanced at the Warlock with hesitant eyes.

Magnus, completely ignoring the practically whispered words made his way towards his lover, stopping inches away to raise a ring clad hand to Alec's chin, lifting the younger's face and meeting enchanting blues. "Lilith. Even though you do this every month it still takes my breath away."

The Shadowhunter blushed harder if that were even possible, a soft smile curving his lips upwards. "You say that every time."

The Warlock nodded, leaning down to press a hot kiss to his lover's mouth. "Damn straight, baby."

Alec moaned, raising his hands to Magnus' half spiked hair. He'd taken to wearing it half down ever since he'd discovered how much Alec liked playing with it, leaving the top in spikes with the rest falling around his shoulders and his bangs swinging into his eyes. The shorter boy moved forward, closing the distance between them as Magnus used his other hand to grip the Shadowhunter's hip.

"M-Magnus." Alec breathed, panting as the Warlock nipped and sucked his way down to the hollow of his throat.

"Yes, love?" Magnus purred, flicking his tongue out to trace his lover's jugular.

"I-It's already five, we n-need to get going s-soon if we want to make it on t-time."

"Hmmm," The Warlock tilted his head to the side. "You said we have to be there by six thirty right?"

"Y-Yes?"

"Well then, I'm sure we'll have plenty of time."

"Wh-Wha-AH!" He let out a loud shriek as he was picked up, placed in his lover's arm bridle style. Wide blue eyes looked up at Magnus in shock before narrowing. "Magnus I mean it! We don't have time to- Mph!"

The Warlock silenced any more protests, planting his lips firmly on his lover's as he supported his love with one arm, the other moving to massage the growing bulge in Alec's jeans.

The Shadowhunter broke away with a moan at the contact, shuddering as his hands came up to Magnus' shoulders, tightening around the taller of the twos neck. "Mmm M-Magnus..."
