"The only way they weren't a test is if we were at Pride." Even then, Alec would think they were over the top. Perfect for Magnus, but something that Alec sometimes believed Magnus created using magic because he had no idea why someone would think to make those pants. With his free hand, he offered his husband a napkin in case the faux tears became real just in case Magnus really got into the act.
Alec wasn't sure if he would have blushed if Magnus had said that on another night, but it was Valentine's day, their first together as a married couple. That detail seemed to make everything more special, something that should be treasured and somehow creating blushes that Alec should be able to avoid. "Underappreciated until you found them." Found him. "I think you were underappreciated as well." His more recent - could a few centuries ago be considered recent ? - lovers hadn't been. Which was one of the many reasons Alec tried to make sure that Magnus knew how special he was.
The sight of Magnus' smile caused his heart to stutter. Magnus was beautiful, but the love in his husband's expression was what caused Alec's chest to ache. Somehow he had caught Magnus' attention and been given a place in his life. Even after all his mistakes, Magnus had loved him enough to take him back and then to marry him. "It does. I didn't think it would be possible to be anonymous."
His tone softened so that only Magnus could hear, breath catching Magnus' eyes turned gold-green. Not caring who might see, he leaned in and kissed Magnus softly, whispering 'beautiful' to his husband. "We can be Magnus and Alec here." Marks and runes accepted in a way they never would be in New York. "You shouldn't say things like that. Who knows what I might suggest for a date if I can say 'but it's a way to spend time together'."
