"Oh, don't pretend you didn't like it!" Alec exclaimed, mock hurt.
Magnus laugh echoed all over the room. They were having a dinner party with their friends, celebrating their engagement and Magnus was telling how the proposal went down. More like narrating but, their friends knew this. And they were happy for them.

"Alright, alright, let me finish!" Magnus interrupted, waving a hand to emphasize, "and then, he asked me, 'do you know what dreams are made of? You, they're made of you,' I swear, I felt my knees go weak—"
"When in reality it was mine that was weak since I kneeled on one," Alec added smoothly, quite proud.
"Alec, let him finish!" Isabelle screamed playfully.
"Yeah man, I wanna start eating already." Jace joked.
Everyone laughed at this.
"Well, then he said," Magnus continued softly, staring at Alec like he was the only man in the world, " 'and I want to make my dreams come true, so, would you do me the honor of marrying me?' "
Everyone cooed at that. Alec looked down and then up again, feeling overcome with emotion at the reminder of the proposal. It was true.
Magnus was his dream come true.
