FWDYLM:Ch. Three

"We're here," Magnus announced happily, reaching for the doorknob of his apartment.

"I can see that," Alec replied with a small smile at his boyfriend.

Magnus, who had been grinning, frowned now. "I can't find my key," he whined.

Alec pulled his out of his pocket, shaking his head, and handed it to Magnus. "Use mine," he said.

"I knew there was a reason I gave you a key!" Magnus beamed and Alec fought off a laugh.

"What?!" he cried, feigning shock and hurt. "I thoughy it was because you loved me! How dare you! I thought-"

He broke off, clapping a hand over his mouth as he prete ded to sob.

Magnus bumped his shoulder playfully. "Oh, shut up. You know I do love you more then anything ever," hw said, and his words came out aoynding mushier then he had Intended.

Alec blushed. "Yeah, whatever," he mumbled, but a tiny grin graced his face.

Still beaming, Magnus stepped inside and grabbed Alec's hand, pulling him into the living room after closing the door.

"Okay," he said, pushing Alec down on the couch. "We're not done." He looked at Alec sternly.

Alwc frowned. "Donw with what?" He shook his head.

"Your list." Magnus plopped down next to him. "I haven't finished telling you why you're perfect. Why I love you. Why all your "flaws"-" Magnus made air quotes-"are really your perfections."

Alec looked down, playing with his jeans. Magnus reached out and lifted Alec's head up, staring at his beautifully clear blue eyes. Alec refused to look at him.

"I believe lips were next," he said softly, not taking his eyes off Alec, and he let his fingers move up to trail Alec's lips.

He leaned forward and gently kissed Alec. He didn't wrap his arms around him. He just kissed his beautiful lips.

He pulled away and said, "you would think that would tell uou exactly how I feel, but knowing you,  and I do, you still wont get it." Magnus shook his head with a sad smile. "Your lips are the most adorable,kissable lips I have ever seen, or kissed-"

"They're small, and ugly, and-"

"Alexander." Magnus interrupted him with a kiss. "I have kissed a lot of lips In my lifetime, Alexander," he said breathlessly between kisses, "and yours are the best of all."

"No-they-aren't, " Alec gasped out as Magnus moved his lips down to his neck. "Nothing about me is "the best." I'm not the-"

Alec sounded much to upset and honest, and Magnus couldn't take it. He launched himself at the Shadowhunter, startling him, and pushed him down so Magnus was completely on top of him. He leaned forward to press his lips to Alec's and kissed him hard, dropping his hands onto alecs shoulders, so just the tips of his fingers were on his neck. Alec pushed himself up on Magnus,  probably without meaning to, his eyes flying shut, his arms automatically wrapping around Magnus's waist.

The left the world behind their walls, everything around them, slip away. When Magnus pulled away, he was grinning triumphantly, and Alec's face was bright red and flushed...again. l
