It’s everything and nothing like the kiss at his interrupted wedding. No one else is here. No one is watching. This is for just the two of them, and it’s just as completely overwhelming as it was the first time.

“It takes a rare kind of courage to be so explicitly vulnerable, and it’s not the kind of courage Jace has ever specialized in. He knows it when he sees it, though, every time Magnus stands in front of Alec with his big, glittery heart on his sleeve.”

Summary:
“Let’s have you go first then, just so I can size up how…good you are with a cue.”
And he was good – excellent, actually – Magnus would give him that. Alec approached each shot with the focus of a warrior, which made sense, now that Magnus had time to think while Alec concentrated on his next move. As Alec leaned towards the cue ball with the cue stick firmly in his hands – Magnus pictured the archer’s graceful stance, pulling back the string of his bow and releasing the arrow – and the 8-ball goes for the corner pocket, with the cue ball rolling steadily back to its original position.
Or how I imagine the first date to be like, with fluffy, sweet-without-trying Alec and incessant-flirting Magnus.

Summary:
A “what might have happened if the malec scene from 2×05 had been a little longer” also known as “i need more malec touching in my life”. takes place directly after that scene ended, after magnus says “you’ll blow up the very ground you stand on to make something right.”
Alec stands, and in a step and a half has crossed the terrace to stand before Magnus, the faintest hint of shyness in the tilt of his shoulders and in the fidget of his hands at his sides before he leans in and kisses him. Surprised, as always with Alec, Magnus goes supple against the brick at his back, fond beneath Alec’s clumsy attentions and the inexperienced slip of his tongue between Magnus’ lips.
