Summary:
At some point, Magnus and Alec have to talk. It’s just, Alec doesn’t quite know how.
“I’m nervous,” Magnus admitted eventually. Alec reached down and found his hands and squeezed them.
“I’m not.” He waited until Magnus looked at him again, and shook his head. “I’m not nervous, Magnus. Not about us. Never about us.”
The look on Magnus’ face was almost awestruck, his dark eyes contemplating Alec’s until he shook his head, brushing Alec’s hair off his forehead.
“You’re so sure,” he marveled. “So sure. And it’s not like I’m not sure, about us, about you, don’t get me wrong, but. I sometimes can’t believe you’re this sure about me.”
You don’t hold me back, Alexander. You push me forward and give me strength when I most need it. And that’s not even getting started on the comfort and – and acceptance. Forgiveness. You give me hope.

It hadn’t been bravery that let Magnus fall in love with this beautiful, beautiful boy with the heart of a lion and the grace of what an angel is supposed to be. It had been nothing short of divinity. Something out of his control. The universe finally saying, here – here’s someone who will do right by you, who will stand by you.
