Summary:
“What?” Magnus asks with that knowing smile of his. A tiny quirk of the lips, a smirk that always makes Alec want to crowd him against the nearest surface and kiss it off his smug face.
It hasn’t lost its effects.
“I -” Alec shakes his head, tongue-tied. He’d exhausted his coherent speech capabilities back there. He’d been rehearsing it in his head the entire night, working up the nerve to ask Magnus to talk, and now that he’s done it, now that Magnus listened – didn’t push him away, didn’t scoff or yell at him, didn’t roll his eyes and tell Alec to fuck off – he’s too happy, too in awe, to get the words right again. There are so many things he needs to say, so much they need to talk about, he knows, but just for tonight, he wants to forget about it all. About the near war, about the Seelie Queen, about Valentine. He knows he has more repentance to do. He hurt Magnus and he will never stop trying to make up for it, he just doesn’t know how to start, where to start. He thinks maybe it can wait one night.
