Magnus wakes up the next morning and stretches with a huge smile, but it falters quickly when he realizes that Alexander is no longer in his bed. Magnus reaches to the side where Alexander was laying and found that the sheets are cold. With a frustrated sigh, Magnus rolls on his back in disappointment. His thoughts start running wild. Of course he wasn't going to stick around. Why would he? I'm not good enough to wait around for, especially someone as amazing as Alexander! We've only been back together for a week. This is ridiculous. I should have known better. I treated Alexander like shit for the first three months, then screwed things up epically the one time I should have proven myself. God! I'm such an idiot to think that Alexander could ever fall in love with someone like me. Idiot! Idiot! Idio-... Magnus' thoughts are halted by the door creaking open. He doesn't look, he knows it's just Chairman Meow padding his way into the room.

"Magnus? Baby, what's wrong?" It's Alec's voice. Magnus almost doesn't believe it. It's then he realizes that he's crying. Opening his eyes, Magnus sees Alec place a tray of food down on the bedside table. Alexander winces slightly as he sits down on the edge of the bed.

"I thought you left me," Magnus hiccups from his hysterical crying. Alec pulls Magnus into a bone crushing hug, trying to calm him down.

"Oh god! No baby, I just woke up early and wanted to do something for you, so I got up and made you breakfast in bed," Alec says as he runs his hand in a comforting manor up and down Magnus' back. Magnus continues to cling on to Alec - as if letting go would cause Alec to disappear for good - until he can get his emotions back in order. Once he calms down, Magnus looks up at Alec.

"I'm sorry," he whispers.

"Would you like to tell me what that was all about?" Alec asks in a soft, soothing voice. He still has an arm wrapped around Magnus.

"I just thought you left," Magnus pauses and takes a deep breath, "I wouldn't have blamed you if you had. I treated you like shit. I don't deserve you." Magnus hangs his head in shame, then feels a finger under his chin. He looks into those sapphire eyes that he's fallen hopelessly in love with, and they look so sad.

"Magnus, you never treated me like shit. Where in the world did that even come from?" Alec cups Magnus' cheeks with both of his hands, wipes the tear tracks off Magnus' cheeks, and continues, "You say that I don't deserve you, but I think it's the other way around."

Magnus can't help but stare in disbelief at Alec's incredulous statement. "Darling, there is no one more deserving than you. You're so kind, loving... loyal. There are a myriad of adjectives that I could use to describe you. You, more than anyone, deserves to have the world handed to you on a silver platter." Magnus says in ernest.

"But I was the one who kept pushing you to come out at work, knowing you weren't ready, then I basically pushed you into someone else's arms! Not only that, but I said some pretty horrible things to you out of anger. You also know my past... I'm damaged." Alec looks at Magnus, and Magnus can just see the pain in Alec's eyes... and the resolve, like Alexander still believes that what his parents and his ex said all those years ago was true.

"No Alexander! Those assholes don't get to do this to you - to us - your parents are bigoted assholes, and your ex, he was too insecure to be able to give you the healthy relationship that you deserve. I suppose I can't talk since I've also failed at doing so before, but not this time. I'm lucky enough to have that second chance with you, so I am going to prove to you that you are worth all of the love in the world! As far as what you said to me, even if it was out of anger, I deserved it for what I did to you," Magnus says adamantly.

With a sigh, Alec says, "How about this, why don't we both give each other our best selves. No more insecurities, no more doubt... just you and me." Magnus has a smile on his face and nods in agreement.

Alec encourages Magnus to move where his back is against the headboard of the bed, then picks the breakfast tray and puts it on Magnus' lap, "Now, let's get some food in you so we can decide what to do today."

Looking down at their breakfast tray Magnus sees that Alexander has made them both omelettes. There is also a cup of fresh fruit, tea for Magnus, and coffee for Alec. Magnus is, in this moment, happy that he decided to buy a coffee maker specifically for his boyfriend.

Alec grabs a fork, and cuts a piece of the omelette, then brings it towards Magnus' mouth. Magnus can't help the small giggle that escapes him at how adorable his boyfriend is being. It's strange, two grown men feeding each other, but at the same time it feels oddly intimate and right. The two continue to feed each other until their plates are empty. Once they finish, Alec puts the tray on the bedside table. Magnus curls up beside him, and Alec holds him closely. Magnus lets a contented sigh escape his lips as he relaxes into his boyfriend's arms.

Alexander kisses the top of Magnus' head, and his finger is lightly drawing circles on Magnus' arm. "What would you like to do today?" Alec asks Magnus.

"Hmm," Magnus hums as he climbs on top of Alec, "I can think of a few things that I'd like to do today. All of which include us being naked, hot, and sweaty." Magnus straddles his boyfriend, then leans down to kiss him. Magnus can feel how much his words, and the kiss is affecting Alexander. After the stress of his insecurities, and the conversation they had before breakfast, Magnus is relaxed and horny as fuck!

When they pull away for air, Magnus can see the blush rising on Alexander's cheeks, "Magnus, as much as I would love to go another round with you, I don't think my ass can take it." Alec says with a slight chuckle.

"No my love, I want to ride you this time." Magnus says as he begins trailing kisses down Alec's chest. Magnus makes sure he pays special attention to Alec's pert nipples. Magnus figured out last night that these are some sensitive spots for Alec. Magnus moves further down, and removes the jeans that Alexander must have put on when he woke up this morning, being pleasantly surprised that he's wearing nothing underneath.

Magnus pulls back up briefly so he can retrieve a condom and the bottle of lube from his nightstand. Before Magnus can do anything else, Alec pulls Magnus back on top of him, kisses him breathlessly, then while Magnus is still straddling him, he pulls Magnus up to where his knees are on either side of Alec's chest. Magnus' dick twitches at the action, he's so close to his boyfriend's mouth. Alec removes the lube and condom from Magnus' grasp, pops the top of the bottle and thoroughly lubes his fingers. Alec inserts one of his fingers in Magnus' tight opening, while his mouth descends on his erection. Magnus lets out a guttural moan and lets his head fall back. The double stimulation is almost too much for him to bear. Alec works Magnus open, and when he feels ready, he pulls Alec's fingers out, grabs the condom and lube, and slides down the length of Alec's body. Magnus places the condom on his boyfriends impressive length, and applies copious amounts of lube. Lining himself up, Magnus slowly descends until Alec is fully sheathed. Magnus gives himself enough time to adjust, then he starts to move. The sounds of skin slapping, and moans coming from the man beneath him, Magnus almost comes undone.

"God, Magnus... you feel so good!" Alec says as he matches Magnus' thrusts, "So... ngh... tight."

Magnus, unable to respond, is trying so hard at the moment not to come. Instead, he leans down and kisses Alec. Alec takes Magnus' erection in his hand and strokes him at the same speed as their thrusts.

"Fuck Alexander, I'm gonna come!" Magnus shouts out as he shoots all over Alec's chest. Two more thrusts and Alec's spilling into the condom.

Alec sits up, still sheathed inside Magnus, and pulls Magnus into a rough, passion filled kiss. When they break the kiss, Alec pulls Magnus down on the bed with him and they both let out a contented breath, not even paying attention to the mess they've made.

After a few minutes of laying on Alec's chest, listening to his heart rate steady, Magnus makes the decision to get up and clean off. "Let's shower, then I can take you back to your place for a change of clothes. I'd really like to spend the day with you." Magnus says as he pulls Alec up.

"I would like that as well," Alec responds with a lopsided smile. Magnus beams at his boyfriend and guides him into the bathroom.

In the shower, they wash each other - paying extra attention to certain areas - and end up getting each other off yet again.

Once out of the shower, they towel off, and Alec starts the search for the rest of his clothes. If Magnus had his way, Alexander would remain naked whenever he was in the apartment. Damn, he is built like a God! Magnus thinks as he watches his boyfriend walk around his living room without a shirt on. Magnus continues to watch as Alec finishes dressing, then the two head out to let Alec change into clean clothes.

~oOo~

As they're driving, Magnus has his right hand firmly planted in Alec's left, and they drive in companionable silence. Magnus really wants to ask Alec something, but he isn't sure on how to go about it. Either that or he is chickening out.

"What's got you thinking so loud?" Alec asks.

"Honestly, I was wondering how I should ask you to stay the weekend with me," Magnus glances at his boyfriend when he gets to a stop light. Alec has an unreadable expression on his face so Magnus continues, "It's just... I know you've been sleeping on your couch while Jace has been taking residency in your room, and I... I thought that maybe you would like to sleep comfortably in a bed for a few days." And in a tone so low, Magnus isn't sure Alec will even be able to hear him, he adds, "It was also nice having you with me."

"That actually sounds like a great idea," Alec says, "We really haven't been able to spend a lot of quality time with each other since we've gotten back together. Having this weekend together seems like the best way to do that."

"Great! After you pack, we can go out to lunch and discuss what we're going to do for the weekend!" Magnus says enthusiastically. This feels like the happiest he's been in quite a while.

Magnus parks in a guest parking spot that's reserved for the apartment complex and follows Alec to the building. Alec unlocks the door and ushers Magnus in.

"It looks like everyone is still asleep so make yourself comfortable while I sneak into my room to pack," Alec says gesturing towards the couch. The couch is situated where Magnus can still see the hallway and Alexander's bedroom door. He hears Alec opening the door, and when Magnus glances over, he can see Alec's muscles tense as he slowly closes the door and backs away. Magnus stands back up, immediately alarmed by his boyfriends behavior.

Alec briskly walks towards Magnus, grabs hold of his arm, and practically drags him out of the apartment.

"Alexander, darling. What's wrong?" Magnus asks with concern.

"I I I... I," Alexander keeps gesturing towards the door and looks at Magnus with wide eyes and ashen skin. He's really starting to worry Magnus at this point.

"Shhh, darling. Take a deep breath and use your words," Magnus tries to sooth Alec and keep him from having a panic attack.

Taking a deep breath, and then another, Alec finally speaks. "My best friend and my brother are sleeping in my bed... naked!" Magnus stares at his boyfriend for a moment, then busts out laughing.

Once he sobers up, Magnus puts a hand on each of Alec's shoulders, "Love, that's what two consenting adults do. Hell, you and I did the same thing multiple times last night, then this morning, then again in the shower. At least you didn't catch them in the act." Magnus can't help the chuckle that escapes him at the last part.

"But... but... but... ," Alec stutters, then shakes his head, like he's shaking a mental image out of his mind. "Nope, nope, nope, after lunch we're going shopping. I can't go back in there!"

Alec exclaims, causing Magnus to outright laugh at his antics.
