Magnus smiled as his head rested against Alec’s. It was so easy to forget and ignore everything that was happening outside. It was easy to forget how close he had been to death only a few hours before. None of it mattered right now. Alec was with him. Alec loved him. That was all Magnus cared about. “I’m sorry. I’ll never joke about it again. I am not going anywhere, okay? I promise. You don’t have to worry about me. I know you were, and I was worried about you too but I’m not going anywhere.” Magnus sighed, wanting to assure Alec that he never wanted to leave him. Magnus rarely cared what happened to himself but now he had somebody to live for.
“Hmm.” Magnus nodded, a slight grin now appearing on his face. “The very best. Ever better than Casanova who was nothing until I came along. You however had natural talent.” At the next statement Magnus felt his body tense slightly. That was a conversation he didn’t want to go back into. “Raphael isn’t solely to blame for that situation.”
alec took another sip of his beer and let his whole body relax, his shoulders rolling back as he tried to rid of the tension of the day. “good. of course i have to worry about you, if valentine’s waving the soul sword around, you’re the first person i’m going to worry about. i know it wasn’t his fault, but i swear i could have killed jace in that moment. me? what were you worrying about me for? madzie locked me in the elevator for half the time and the rest was spent battling with aldertree, who’s a dick, but a good fighter.”
alec’s frowned at the mention of casanova “can we make a deal? no mentioning famous people you’ve been with?...or camille.” but a smirk soon appeared on his face and he looked at magnus, his brows raised. “natural talent huh?” he scoffed and shook his head. “come on, i get you not letting me beat him as much as i wanted to, but now you’re actually sticking up for him?” he sighed and pressed his face into magnus’s hair, his hands moving to rub his shoulders to make him less tense. “can we argue about this another time? i don’t wanna argue with you right now. especially not over him.”
