★ (Magnus/ofmagnusbane)
★ five times my muse though yours looked breath-taking, and the one time they voice it.
when alec first met magus, he was astounded by the confident air he possessed, it was different to the air that himself or jace held. the only other person he’d seen a slither of it in was his sister. and alec wouldn’t be lying if he said that magnus took his breath away. but it was far too early on and alec was still so confused about his own feelings and who he felt things for.
it was when alec first slept over while being magnus’s official boyfriend. nothing more had happened than making out, alec wasn’t quite ready for that step yet. but he was laying in bed with the warlock and he was make up free, his hair slightly disheveled and tucked up perfectly in alec’s arms. alec didn’t tell him then that he was breathtaking. even if he wanted to magnus was asleep and had no chance of hearing him.
alec had decided to go visit magnus at pandemonium. he had seen the warlock there in a fleeting passing before but it was a point where too much was going on around them for either of them to pay attention to each other. and seeing the high warlock of brooklyn in his element , looking so glamorous had alec weak at his knees. walking up to the vip section and to where magnus had a view of the whole club, alec walked up to him and kissed him firmly on the lips for anyone who was watching to see. but yet he still never voiced what was on his mind.
at his wedding, alec saw magnus interrupt it while he was stood at the alter with his bride and couldn’t stop the breath catching in his throat. it was noticeable to everyone, especially his bride. who was the most amazing woman he’d ever met in that moment. she’d given her meant to be husband permission to go and get his warlock. it was the first time he’d seen uncertainty on the warlock’s face and he realized that he wore it as well as he did confidence. everyone was there to witness what happened next. and yet, alec still didn’t tell magnus just how breathtaking he was.
alec didn’t have a lot of time on his hands working at the institute and he knew it bothered magnus. it bothered him too but it was work. what he didn’t expect was to see the warlock to show up in a place that he hated due to most of the shadowhunters snobby opinions and demand that alec leave with him right then and there. the look on his mother’s face was priceless of course. but alec didn’t have much time to revel in that, more than revel in the man that had clearly gotten dressed up for whatever he had planned for them to do. and who was alec to say no.
alec had woken up earlier than magnus ( which made a change ) so he decided to use this time to showcase one of the talents he knew magnus had no idea about yet. his cooking skills. and he was surprised to find that magnus had food in his fridge. he was sure the warlock hadn’t heard of grocery shopping, preferring to steal it off the mundanes instead. ( not that alec minded of course ). he set to work on cooking the eggs and bacon, wanting to make a nice breakfast for his boyfriend. he was so in the zone that he almost jumped a mile when he felt strong arms wrapped around him. he turned around and saw magnus, who had obviously just woken up. he was bare chested, his hair was all over the place and magnus was obviously too tired to conjure off his make up last night because it was smudged across his face. and alec had honestly thought that he had never seen someone more beautiful. “you take my breath away every day, magnus bane.” alec whispered. “you’re the most gorgeous man i’ve ever had the privilege seeing. and i dunno what the hell i did to deserve you, but i’m going to make sure i keep you.” @ofmagnusbane
