Alec spends the time thinking about the past year. While Magnus had been the catalyst for his change, ultimately it was Alec who had taken his life by the horns and set it on the track he wanted. He was more comfortable with himself, more confident, than he’d ever been and a large part of it was due to coming out.

There was no judging with Magnus. He could be himself, and be secure in who that person was without feeling scared or like a disappointment.

So stop seeing who you are as some kind of insurmountable obstacle to be overcome. It’s not. The right person won’t care, Magnus. The right person will just view it as part of all the millions of things that make up you.

They’re in the middle of a sidewalk, in New York City during Pride, confetti falling all around them, arms around each other, and Alec would almost think it’s a dream if he didn’t know that Magnus is the most real thing he’s ever had in his life.

Alec’s mind lingers on the colours, the man in his arms a rainbow, a spectrum. He wonders how he never saw in colour before, but maybe he needed this – this man, who seems to be every colour at once, whose spirit shines bright from within – to overwhelm him, oversaturate him, wake him up.
They’re both a little cracked around the edges, both their hearts are tender and bruised but they’re careful with each other, and though Alec can’t speak for Magnus, he knows that being with Magnus is healing his own. Magnus makes him feel special in a way that Alec had never felt before – never thought he’d be able to feel. It’s – incomparable.

The rainbow flag draped loosely around Alec’s shoulders feels weightless. It’s where it belongs, Alec supposes. He’s where he belongs.

There’s just something about him, a quality, that draws Magnus, to his pretty doe eyes and his curved pink lips and the golden heart that beats behind aching ribs. There’s an innocence behind the stoicism, a sense of care behind the righteous duty, an intention of pure good behind the scowl that marks his forehead. Alec is nothing like Magnus expected from a Shadowhunter, and as charming as that is, it’s also dangerous.

The look on Magnus’s face is one Alec doesn’t think he’ll ever forget; his mouth slightly open, eyes wide and bright with tears. He’s looking at Alec like he’s a miracle, like he just told him he single handedly hung up every star in the sky just for Magnus to see; as if he didn’t know Alec would do anything for him.

An uncertain and bittersweet warmth flooded through Magnus, a revelation. There wasn’t a love potion in the world that could compare to what he felt for Alec.
