“The Way You Look” - Read it here on AO3!
Ever since the trainwreck of a stew Alec tried to make forhis mother, he’s been adamant about refining his cooking skills.
It’s cute, Magnus thinks, especially as he sees Alec standingover by the stove donning a simple apron and staring at the pot.
“And you’re sure Iadd paprika?” Alec questions, looking up at his boyfriend with a frown. He’sbeen doing well thus far, listening to Magnus’ advice as they swirl thecontents of the pot, stopping ever so often to taste what they’ve made.
Magnus chuckles, pacing over to him. His hand rests at thesmall of Alexander’s back as he takes in the aroma of the pot. He takes thespoon, blowing on it gently before tasting it. He nods. “Yeah, it’ll add a bitmore flavor to it.”
Alec looks at the spices laid out next to him, picking outthe paprika once he finds it. “How much?”
“No more than a teaspoon, I’d say,” Magnus counters. Heholds out his hand, and Alec passes the spice container to Magnus. He opens itup drawing out a bit in his hands before sprinkling it over the pot. “You don’twant to go too heavy when adding spices,” he informs. “If you add too much atfirst, it will be too overwhelming.”
Alec nods, watching diligently as Magnus adds the paprika. Hishazel eyes are determined, taking in every detail, every movement, and everysmall gesture his boyfriend makes. Once Magnus stirs the stew again, he offersthe spoon up to Alec to taste.
Alec leans forward, tasting it and almost melting at the waythe spices dance across his tongue. He moans out in satisfaction.
“Oh,” he says, “that’s good.”
Magnus chuckles at that. “Now we just let it simmer for afew minutes, and it’ll be ready.”
He stirs the pot a bit more before tapping the wooden spoonagainst the rim, certain to get off all the food off the spoon. As he puts thelid onto the pot for it to simmer, the jazz music from the radio fades briefly beforeit transitions into another song.
Magnus finds himself smiling at the familiar tune.
Someday, when I’mawfully low,
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow,
Just thinking of you,
And the way you look tonight.
As the violins sing, Magnus places the wooden spoon on thecounter, turning to Alec with a smile.
Alec wears an uncertain look, unsure of what Magnus is upto. But before he can formulate a question, Magnus’ right hand finds his left, andMagnus’ left hand rests on his right bicep. Magnus smiles up at Alec brightly.
“Won’t you dance with me, Alexander?”
Alec stiffens. Fuck.He doesn’t know how to dance. He hasn’t ever needed to dance. His eyes widen in muted panic as his gaze fallsdown to their feet. “M-Magnus, I’ve never—”
“Don’t worry, it’s easy,” Magnus cuts him off, assurance inhis tone. “Watch.” He sways back and forth, feet moving only slightly as heguides Alec to turn a bit. “See? Easy.”
Alec nods, swallowing thickly. He looks down at their feet,stepping when Magnus steps to the side and turns with him. Soon, Alec seems toget the hang of it, his eyes drifting back up to Magnus.
He hasn’t been looking at Magnus as they’ve been swaying,but now that he’s finally locked eyes with the warlock, he can see the lovingexpression across his lover’s face. His smile is warm and gentle, and the lookin his eyes makes Alec’s heart flutter. There’s the faintest hint of blush onhis tawny cheeks as they dance. Whether it’s from dancing or if he’s justflustered, Alec doesn’t know.
Yes, you’re lovely,
With you smile sowarm,
And your cheeks sosoft,
There is nothing forme,
But to love you, andthe way you look tonight.
As the beat picks up and the horns come to a crescendo,Magnus can feel Alec relax under him, swaying as they turn in small circlesaround the kitchen. In a moment of confidence, Alec turns them quickly, a moreplayful and relaxed air settling over them as they dance. As he pulls Magnusalong with him, Magnus can’t help the laugh that bubbles out from his chest. Hisface breaks out in a bright smile, eyes crinkling near the outer corners andhis nose scrunching up slightly.
Alec’s laughter is a bit lower, coming out as a slightchuckle near Magnus’ ear as he presses closer. They turn again and there’s ayelp of surprise from Magnus as Alec dips him slightly. He brings Magnus backup swiftly, pressing closer so that they’re nose to nose. As they continue tosway around the kitchen, Magnus notices Alec’s lips moving along with themusic.
“Yes, you’re lovely,never, ever change. Keep that breathless charm. Won’t you please arrange it? CauseI love you, just the way you look tonight.”
His hushed, whispered singing sends Magnus’ heart soaring.This feeling, this warm feeling is like sunshine on a bright spring day,warming his bones and his insides in a way he’s hardly felt before. Immortal ashe is, he’s thought he’s felt everything. But with Alexander, he finds himselffeeling things he’s never felt before, never this intense.
He loves him, so much.
As the song begins to fade, their swaying slows. Magnus’eyes fall to Alec’s lips once more, watching him mouth the final words to thesong before they pull up in a smile. His eyes meet Alec’s and his hands come upto caress the sides of his boyfriend’s face. He pulls Alec closer, leaning into share a brief, chaste kiss. It’s sweet and warm, encompassing everything hefeels simmering in his soul.
They pull apart a moment later, both full of mirth andwarmth and joy. Alec’s hands have found his hips, thumbing gently against thesilk shirt meeting the waistband of his pants.
“It’s true, you know,” Alec says quietly, breaking thesilence between them.
“Hm? What is, darling?”
“The way you look,” he starts. He smiles again, shaking hishead lightly. “No, not just your looks. The way you smile and laugh, the wayyou make me do things I never thought I’d be able to do, the way you make myheart soar and the way you’re just so…” he trails off with a sigh, resting hisforehead against Magnus. “I’ve alwaysdreamed of meeting someone like you.”
Magnus can feel the blush that builds on his cheeks at Alec’swords. They share a couple more chaste kisses, riding the high of theirfeelings. Each kiss is bright and hopeful, and it makes Magnus’ chest swell.
