Alec felt drained, his throat dry like a sandpaper, his head pounding like a rock being placed on his head. He tried to move his own body but he felt heavy. He could slowly twitch his fingers and the sensation came back all over him, he flutters his eyes open and he could hear it, the beeping.

Slowly he tried to open his eyes again and when he did, blurred image and nothing but bright white light flashes which made him groan. "Alexander." He recognized that voice, it was Magnus. He swallowed his throat dryly, feeling like a lump stuck in between, he tried to open his eyes again and he could see Magnus by his side.

"W-What happened?" He asked. He looked around the room and he recognized it well, he is in the hospital. "You scared the crap out of me. Don't do that again." Magnus said and Alec snorted, "Why? Because you have to carry me all by yourself?" He asked and tried to fix his posture, "You wished, you are twice my height, I called an ambulance." He said and Alec felt a little shocked when he found out Magnus called the ambulance, imagined the embarrassment on fainting at the graveyard.

He sat up, with the help of Magnus, he placed another pillow behind his back and lift the headboard a little forward. "Are you thirsty?" He asked but bringing the water eventually to Alec's lips. He took a sip mumbling thank you until they were both greeted by someone, someone Alec hadn't seen for years.

"How are you doing Alec?" Alec grinned, his eyes beamed with happiness.

"Sebastian? H-How?" Alec mumbled, which then greeted with a hug. "Its been a while man, we miss you." Sebastian said and Alec looked at his face, "Why are you here? You didn't work here." Alec asked still curious how he'd get to see him. "Yeah I know, I was transferred here actually, about a year ago. We moved to different city. We should catch up." He said and Alec looked at Magnus, he had a smile on his face and nodded.

"When we move back to New York I give you a call." He said and Sebastian nodded with a smile. "Okay, but anyway take it easy, you were stressed that you snapped. I told you don't overthink things." He remarked and Alec looked at Magnus again but this time, Magnus looked at him with a worried look.

"You can be discharged, I just fill your papers and you can go. Its nice to see you again Alec." He said and left the room after shook hand with Magnus.

"Are you okay?" Magnus asked, sitting down by his side. He exhaled a breath and felt like a weight being lifted from his chest. "How bad was it?" He asked which made Magnus confused than earlier. "What do you mean?" He asked, "The coffin, the place, did I trashed it bad?" He asked looking down at his finger, fiddling with the strand of thread that coming out from the blanket covering him.

"Oh about that. Actually Liam and Christopher was cremated, those are plain coffin, just plain stones to pretend that it was a mausoleum." Alec's jaw dropped and he felt angered building in his chest, "Asshole!" He said pushing both Magnus' chest, "Why did you do that?" He asked smacking Magnus' arm again.

He had the nerve to laugh at Alec which angered Alec more, he kept on smacking him and he groaned in pain after. "Okay enough, I'm sorry but you needed it, don't tell me you don't feel lighter." He said gripping his arm, Alec looked to his side but then met his eyes with Magnus, "Thank you." He mumbled slowly and Magnus decided he wanted to tease him more.

"What is it? I couldn't hear you." He said placing his hand over his ear pretending he didn't hear what Alec just said. "I said thank you. But I'm still angry after what you did. I can't believe you let me think that it was a real coffin." Alec said smacking him another which he groan more in pain.

"I'm sorry but we can make it up later." He said leaning closer to Alec and cupped his chin. He tilted Alec's chin up to meet his eyes, "Make up sex is better than anything else." He said and leaned to kiss Alec's lips. As he waited to feel Magnus' lips on his, he couldn't, instead Magnus decided to tease him more, hovering over his lips letting their hot breath fanning each other's faces.

Magnus could feel Alec's pulse quickened upon his touch and when he licked this tongue over Alec's lips, his breath hitched. He looked into Alec's eyes and those hazel orbs covered nothing but black ring of lust begging for his kisses already.

He smiled before he leaned and kissed Alec on his lips, they exchanged dominancy in leading the kiss but Alec had to surrender to Magnus' tongue and let him explore what he want. But then something crossed his mind which made him pushed Magnus away from their kisses, "If those aren't real coffin then what the hell are you doing there? How did you even know there's a place for you to blow off your anger?"

He looked at Magnus, his eyebrow crooked waiting for his answers. He gave up and leaned to lay on Alec's lap instead, Alec didn't push him away but instead he lay back and stroke Magnus head as he stared into the ceiling. His whole body sprawled on the bed in between Alec's legs letting Alec's playing with his hair.

"Raphael showed it to me. I used to be a lot more anger and spoilt brat then I am now." He said and Alec smirked. "You still are." He said and Magnus chuckled, "But he showed to me how my anger towards the society, the people, my mother would be affected." He paused letting Alec's finger laced with his on his chest.

"He would be a great uncle to Rafe, a greatest friend I have ever had. He would never let me lose you." Magnus said, a trail of tears escaped his eyes and it fell on his temple. Alec let his fingers brushed it off and it dry on his skin, "He still here," Alec placed his palm on Magnus' chest, spreading warmth on his skin and inside, "Whenever you thought of him, he will always be here. Never forget that."

Magnus looked up and met Alec's gaze, Alec leaned down and kissed his lips, soft and everlasting kiss. He smiled pulling Alec for more when he pulled away.

Their New York trip were fruitful and after the day of recovery, Magnus and Alec went to Jax's house and Emma has grown bigger in months they last saw her. She's the precious thing and the way she smiled, her eyes light up the room. Jax and Sara was never happier and now when Magnus told him that he moving back here, he was willingly to get his old job back. But Magnus declined. He doesn't want Jax to be his chauffeur but rather his personal bodyguard and his head of security which brings his brother's in altogether. 

Alec tremendous idea to bring them to Italy for their wedding made Magnus felt happier. Jax and his brother is also part of the family, they helped to save Alec and Rafe so they should be there. Later they stopped to see Catarina and she was quite upset with Magnus but when he told her the wedding and everything, she was delighted to join the family. She mentioned how Raphael would be happy to be there too and Magnus had moment of weakness when he cried in the car thinking about it. 

~~~ooo~~~

"So Emmet said the terrace would be decorated with the white veil and small lights. The flowers are still up to you, but you want it white?" Izzy explained every detail she could to Alec but clearly his mind wasn't here. He kept looking at the terrace where he will walk the path and met Magnus and shared their life till end. "Alec?"

Izzy called turning his iPad off and grabbed his shoulder, he stood there emotionless, looking forward, "What if he changed his mind?" He asked and Isabelle sighed, "One thing for sure, Magnus would never do that to you. He loves you more than anything. He wanted this." Izzy tried to cheer him up, Alec looked to his side, "What if I changed my mind?" He asked and Izzy looked at her brother, she sighed before she pulled him to the end of the terrace and pointed, "Look." She said and Alec looked beyond it, the view is towards their vineyard, the leaves are drying out due to winter but still half green.

But that's not what Izzy's pointing, there in the field, just out from from the vineyard where he used to lay and let his mind explore, Rafe is sitting there with Jace. They were drawing, Jace had entertained him by bringing out the canvas and the colors to let him play with it, he knew it was all Izzy's and his.

Rafe looked so happy, smiling, giggling, he looked bigger compared the last two years Alec remembered of  him, how he wished he would stop growing.

"Imagine that little face of happiness gone because you decided to leave and changed your mind." Izzy said and Alec noted her words stabbed him like dagger into his heart. Silent tear fell on his cheek, he can't bear the thought of losing the one he love, why would he thought of that in the first place.

"Am I interrupting?" Magnus voice echoed behind them and both Alec and Izzy turned to the source. Magnus was wearing a white long sleeves cotton shirt with white pants and cream colored loafers. His hair spike up perfectly and the black raven was mixed with the sunlight making it golden mix with black. Alec couldn't stop staring and when he noticed Isabelle walking towards Magnus and whispered something in his ear. He smiled, nodded before she took her leave leaving them both at the terrace alone.

Magnus stood both hand in his pocket and looked at Alec with a devious smirk. Alec couldn't face him, Izzy might told him what happened so he kept his gaze on the floor before him. Slowly he could feel Magnus came closer and tilted his chin up with his two fingers. "What I told you about looking down love? Always look up, you are not to bow to anyone." He said and Alec smiled, "Only to you." He said and quickly hide his smirk by looked back down.

"Alexander, are you saying you want to be my submissive? I didn't know you had that kind of kink?" Magnus rambles and Alec had to put his hand over his lips to stop embarrassing him further. He smiled letting Alec released his palm and revealed it, "Why Izzy said you had doubts? Do you want to talk about it?" Magnus asked and Alec sighed wrapping his hand around Magnus' neck, "It felt so real and I'm afraid all of this is nothing but a dream and when I woke up I would still be trapped in that place."

Magnus looked deep into Alec's eyes and he knew he saw fear still lingering in there. For many nights Alec managed to sleep without his nightmare but still sometimes it gets him and he would woke up screaming calling out for him. It broke his heart to have him experienced all of those without able to help him. Magnus sighed raising his hand to cup Alec's cheek, he leaned into it sighing. "I can't promise you what future will uphold for us, that what ever happened in the future, but I can promise you this Alexander, through every good and bad that could happened to our relationship, I will never let you face it alone, I will always be there to hold your hands and we will make it together."

Alec looked into his eyes and tear fell on his cheek, he leaned to kiss him and he smiled, "I can't wait to marry you." He said leaning his forehead on Magnus'. "I can't wait to fuck you on our wedding night." Alec pulled back slapping his arm shaking his head in disbelief. How can he become charming and promising to a pervert at one one seconds. Magnus chuckled and pulled him back into his embrace, continued to kiss his fiancé.

"I know what I want now." Alec said as they rested on the big oak tree bathing in the sunset while Rafe playing catch with Jace running around the yard till their heart content. Its a perfect weekend for them as family. Alec was leaning against Magnus' chest and their hands tangled into each other. "What is it love?" He asked.

"Champagne gold dress for our mums and Isabelle, our white tuxes will have gold bow tie. The terrace will have hydrangea flowers all over it." Alec said with smiled spread all over his face, "Mhm, that sound so lovely, I'll call Emmet to get it done." Alec looked up still smiling, he could feel his heart grown lighter each day knowing Magnus is there by his side. He barely see Liam anymore, only in his dreams, but there are more like memories that he will never shakes it away.

Wedding night

"Magnus what are you thinking you're doing?" Magdelene asked as he headed upstairs. Everyone is walking the house like they own it, minding their own business but basically just to help fixing the venue for the wedding being held tomorrow. "Bed where else? I'm going to sleep." He said as he climbed back down to meet his mother.

"Not up there you're not. Its bad luck for the groom and the br-" she stopped herself before she said further and Magnus raised his eyebrow, "For the grooms to be seeing each other before the wedding." Magdelene said and Magnus scoffed. "Mum, think we passed that before all the superstitious tradition right?" Magnus said as he climbed back up. "Not for me. Maybe I won't have a bride for a wedding or the fact a family heirloom to give to Alec but one day if Isabelle got married I might give it to her, or maybe your daughter, I don't know." She rambles on and on about the marriage and the tradition which leads Magnus to more frustration.

"Mom!" Magnus called bringing her back to her sole purpose, "But I'm that superstitious, so get your ass to the guest room." She pointed at the room below the stairs which Magnus huffed, "Yeah, no." He said and climbed back the stairs only to be pulled away by his own mother. Don't make me hide your fiancé, now get in there and don't leave till tomorrow morning." Magdelene signed and Magnus growled in anger mumbling words that she can't hear, "What you said?" She asked, her hand on her hips, "Nothing." Magnus said as he walked to the empty room to sleep tonight. Just for tonight, he reassured himself.

Alec was sitting by the balcony going through his jobs at New York, they are waiting for the shipment of the artifacts to arrive and it buys him time to be here and gone for honeymoon before they all move to New York. The soft knocked on door thinking it was Magnus made him placed his iPad down and stood. "About time you showed up, I was waiting." He said but then he turned to face his future mother in law for about like in few hours she would be his family for real.

"I'm surprised at you two, don't you know anything about wedding? Magnus will be sleeping downstairs in the guest room." She said stepping closer to him, Alec looked at her with cautious. "Oh okay, didn't know people are still doing that. Why are you here then?" He asked and she smiled placing the box in front of him. It wasn't that big but rather the size of his palm.

"I want to give you this." She said placing the box in Alec's hand. "Something old for you then." She said and opened the box revealing a gold cufflinks. Alec eyed the detail of the cufflinks and smiled, "Its beautiful." He took them and felt the heaviness of the gold, it had B letter plated on a black opal with gold finishing, its definitely worth the heirloom. "It's Magnus' fathers. I got his permission so don't worry, he will be happy for you to have it." She said and Alec smiled, he opened his arm and hugged her body closed to his. "Thank you for everything. Even back then, you always there for me. Comforting me." Alec said and she sniffs her tears away.

"I'm happy you guys found yourself back to each other." She said cupping Alec's cheek in her palm. "Good night then." She said and Alec returned the same greet closing the door before she left. He placed the cufflinks back in the box and placed them over his dresser, he decided to take a shower before he sleep, thinking Magnus all the time they were not together.

After he finishes the shower, he dried up his body with a towel and grabbed a sweatpants, not bother to put on the brief, he went topless since the room is quite warm for him. He heard a chime from his phone and the moment he looked at the screen, Magnus name came up.

Magnus : Come here, I'm lonely.

Alec chuckled at the words before he replied.

Alexander : Nope, tradition is tradition. Bear for only one night then I'm all your forever.

Magnus : Please.

Alec decided to torture him so he opened his camera and took a picture of himself in front of the mirror, with his upper body naked and glistened with water, his hair messed still fresh from the shower and his jaw shaven cleaned, he had only his sweatpants which he pulled down lowering it to his v-line exposing his curves and abs. He flexed before he took the photo and after a few he was satisfied enough, then he send them to Magnus.

Magnus : Fuck! Get you ass over here right now before I go upstairs and have you anyway I want.

Alexander : Goodnight Mr Bane. Good luck with the walking matron around the house. 

Alec turned his phone off on purpose and decided to sleep with a widest grin on his face. After a few attempt on sleeping he couldn't. Not because he was having jitters for tomorrow but for the fact Magnus isn't here with him. He tossed and turned to his side and hugged a pillow pretending it was Magnus but he couldn't, his mind was at Magnus' soft caramel skin and the warmth he made him. His heart beating under Alec's ear drumming, his breathing in and out evenly making Alec crazy thinking about it.

"Screw it!" He said, lifting the blanket off of him and ran to the door. He looked to his left and right and noticed the hallway is dimmed meaning everyone is already in bed, asleep. So he closed his door and climbed his way down the stairs towards the guest room.

He didn't bother to knock and he hurried himself to get in before anyone caught him and dragged his ass up back to the room, you can never play around with mothers and their superstitious believe. He closed the door behind him after he enter and he heard it, groan, moaning sound coming from the room. "Magnus?" He called not believing what he just saw in front of his eyes. "What the fuck?"
