“Are you sure?” Alec asked nervously as he fidgeted with his hands in his lap.
“Of course I am. Are you sure?” Magnus asked with a gentle smile that was so soft, encouraging and full of love.
“Yes.” Alec said after a second of hesitation before allowing a small smile to tug at the corner of his lips.
“Look up then Alexander.” The man said as he gently touched Alec’s face, watching as those hazel eyes fluttered close before looking up. With experience and gentle hands he grabbed the make up brush, tapping into colours of purple, white, grey and black. He worked slowly with sure hands, gently building up the colours across Alec’s lower eyelashes.
“How do you feel about some glitter?” Magnus mused which at Alec lowered his eyes, looking at the man.
“Glitter? I mean.. I like glitter, but I’m not sure. I mean.. I’m..” Alec lowered his eyes as he muttered something that Magnus didn’t quiet catch.
“What was that darling?” He asked as he cupped his face gently, making Alec to look at him once again.
“I’m a shadowhunter.” Alec replied and tried not to wince at how silly that sounded. Of course he is a shadowhunter. He knows that. Magnus knows that. Everybody knows that.
“Yes, you are a shadowhunter. But so much most than just a shadowhunter. You are kind, good. You are a big brother, you are a husband, you are my love.” Magnus said as he let his cat eyes show, caressing his husband’s face as he did so. Alec pushed into the touch, pressing a kiss into the warlock’s palm. “Embrace who you are darling, you are beautiful.” The man whispered.
Alec licked his lower lip before nodding. “Okay.”
“Okay?”
“Glitter it is.”
