Work Text:
Maybe it won't work out
but maybe seeing
if it does will be
the best
adventure ever.
.
As always,
Sex was good.
Tonight was no exception and even though it's chilly out they were both sweating.
Magnus still felt like he was surfing on a falling autumn leaf.
After all, it was late October so Alec pulled the sheet up to hide from the chill, burying his whole face in Magnus's bosom.
Just then Magnus's phone rang and Alec noted the big grin that followed.
"Catarina" he laughed, the biggest of smiles Alec realised he'd never seen in those 8 months of them stealing each other's time. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"
Muffled sounds came from the receiver and Magnus giggled and replied with. "No, I'm still unmarried".
Muffled sounds come again and Magnus asked, "Now?" his voice shaky, somewhat unsure so just here Alec craned his head back looking up at him, Magnus looked back at him then his gaze veered away as though avoiding Alec's gaze. "I am not married but I am dating a troublesome..." the rest of his sentence disappearing like smoke.
The phone call ended and Alec's bright colourful eyes were looking at him then like the madness he was he asked, "You're dating someone?" his big whole eyes shone with the purest innocence, "Who's this troublesome person you're dating?"
Magnus sighed, half believing his ears. "Sure it's not you?"
"Me?" Alec sat up in the bed, looking at Magnus like he was betrayed, "It's my first time hearing of you dating someone much less dating me".
It's been a whole six months of coffee shops, bookshops, Italian and Japanese dinner dates and yet,
Magnus bit his lower lip and tightened his fist. "Alexander, by chance, is your sole purpose in life to make me a convicted felon?"
But rather than replying to him, Alec was in shambles stuttering and shaking the life out of Magnus, "who the fuck are you dating instead of me?"
Magnus really wanted to cry— all those sleepless nights feeling sorry for this sorrowful overworked drunkard in a suit.
"Magnus", Alec grabbed him by his collar, "You're dating?" his eyes red and boiling, "How could you do this to me?"
And Magnus weeps, shaking his head in disbelief.
He's dating a complete lunatic.
