Chapter Text
A year later
‘’Magnus, does he have to come with us?’’ whined Alec and then crossed his arms on top of his chest when he saw Jace, the horse standing there and giving him a glare. Alec pouted and then marched over to his boyfriend, who was laughing softly. Ah, yes, a lot has changed in a year. Alec was a free man, he was now helping Jace with training rookie Shadowhunters and he was doing a pretty good job. Jace and Alec made quite the team and at the moment, Alec and Magnus were taking some well deserved time off and were going to be travelling together. Magnus, on the other hand, had now quite a few clients that he was helping almost on daily business - he had a bright career.
‘’Alexander,’’ said Magnus and looked at the hunter. He then rolled his eyes and nodded when the frog said something. Alec still didn’t completely get how the two of them talked - Magnus somehow managed to understand him - who knew. And of course Raphi was coming on their trip as well. ‘’I thought we’ve agreed - Jace is going to be there to keep us company and carry our things,’’ said Magnus and Alec rolled his eyes. Yes, it was supposed to be a trip without using any magic. All of that made sense, but he still wanted to be only with Magnus.
‘’I know, I know,’’ said Alec and in the end only ignored Jace at his best way possible. Magnus only shook his head and then placed Raphael on top of Jace’s head, giving the horse a little pep talk, trying to make him see that Alec didn’t really mean what he was saying. He was just grumpy and he was pouting over at the side. Magnus grinned and he knew a trick or two how to get Alexander smiling again.
Magnus was beyond happy. Things were finally at peace now - Alexander had a bright career, and so did he. Also, his father was more than accepting of their relationship now. He also helped get Alec sooner out of the prison back then and the two of them got along pretty well, as did the entire of the Lightwoods. Lightwood - Bane family dinners were quite the tradition by then and Magnus puffed his cheeks. Alexander and him even lived together now! A little cottage, that was pretty close to everyone (both of their families still wanted them to be close to them, of course!). And the Lightwood family name was fully restored and were once again respected people.
Alec didn’t look impressed when he saw Magnus talking to Jace like that - jealous again? Magnus chuckled and then walked over to him, took his face into his palms and then kissed the adorable pout away. ‘’Alexander,’’ said Magnus and winked softly. ‘’No need to be pouting, you know you’re still number one in my eyes,’’ said Magnus and Alec flushed up to his ears. Um, of course he was! Also, Jace was a freaking horse, so… Alec grumbled, but then just smiled and sighed, nodding. Yes, of course he was - Jace had nothing on him and in the end he finally stopped complaining. ‘’Okay now?’’ asked Magnus and Alec nodded. ‘’Good, I’ll go grab the last of our things and then we can get going,’’ said the warlock happily. That gave Alec the opportunity to talk to Jace and tell him his limits!
‘’Fleabag, listen up,’’ said Alec and Jace gave him an offended look. ‘’Magnus and I decided to take you on the trip, but you must know your limits. You will not cockblock us under any cirmumstances or there will be serious consequences. You don’t even wanna see my bad side because I swear-’’ started Alec, but then saw that Raphael was pulling faces up there and he looked up at him. ‘’Look, frog , same goes for you. You will not disturb - Magnus and I are going on a holiday and if any of you will try and-’’ started the hunter, strutting around, but Magnus came out and he narrowed his eyes.
‘’Alexander, what in the world are you doing?’’ he asked and narrowed his eyes.
Alec immediately stopped and he was again transformed into a soft puppy. ‘’Nothing, my sweetest, love of my love,’’ said Alec and Magnus snorted and then just shook his head. Alec still had his moments, but at the same time, it was what made him fall for him in the first place. A little bit of arrogance never hurt anyone, he quite liked it. Shaking his head, he walked closer and placed the bags on top of Jace and then looked at him.
‘’Not too heavy, is it?’’ asked Magnus and Jace only shook his head and then looked again at Alec. His eyes were laughing at the hunter! Raphael was laughing up there and Alec wanted to grab him and… do completely nothing because they were his friends! Still, he was pissed off and then he went closer to Magnus, but not without showing Jace that he was watching him. Jace and Raphael were entertained because the Shadowhunter wasn’t going to do anything with Magnus around.
‘’Can we go?’’ whined Alec.
‘’Yes, yes,’’ said Magnus and then chuckled. ‘’Don’t be so grumpy, come on, this will be fun. Just like when we’ve met,’’ said Magnus and then winked. Alec took in a deep breath and then closed his eyes for a split second, memories flashing in front of his eyes and then he nodded because that was so true. And he was looking forward to it. ‘’Are you up for another adventure with me, Shadowhunter?’’ asked Magnus and Alec grinned.
‘’Always if it’s with you, Magnus,’’ said Alec and then kissed Magnus, who happily kissed him back.
So, they headed… yet another adventure to come. Alec was laughing when he felt Magnus’ hand in his and he happily sighed. Ah, he couldn’t be happier and neither could Magnus.
