Summary:
They look at each other for a long, terse moment and Alec is pulling Magnus into a hug, fingers carding the hair at the back of Magnus’ head, nose filled with the scent of burned magic and blood and mud. “I was so scared,” his voice is a whisper, “so terrified that I would lose you, that I would die before I got to tell you how much I love you”
“I saw a man” Magnus tells him, “tall, dark hair, bow strapped to his back. He was dead. I have never, Alexander, felt a pain so raw in my life. When I got close enough to realise it wasn’t you I’m ashamed to say the relief I felt was so all-encompassing it floored me. I made a decision in that moment that, should we both survive, and should you have me, i will never let you go again. I love you, Alec”
It feels like his heart could pound right out of his chest.
