As he kissed his husband, Alec couldn't help thinking how lucky he was that they had managed to arrive in this world. Wayward Pines had been a blessing, even with mad scientists stealing their memories and the potential apocalypse. It had brought them together, giving them the life that the Clave had forbidden. No one could condemn them. No one could threaten to strip away Alec's runes... No one cared that a Shadowhunter wore a Warlock's ring and had promised his heart to him.

Letting out a mock indignant sound when Magnus' hand found his ass, he grinned down at his husband. "By the Angel, you're beautiful." He still wasn't sure if 'beautiful' was the right word to use even if it was true. Magnus was stunning when he was relaxed and sleepy, free of the glamours that hid his marks. Knowing that he was one of the few people that saw the bright gold-green of Magnus' eyes always made his breath catch, awed by his husband's trust. Sometimes he thought that he was the only being who had ever thought that the sight was erotic. Another one of the first that Alec cherished with Magnus.

Laughing softly, he kissed along Magnus' jaw before stealing a kiss. "Sorry, but you missed the naked Alec moment. I do want to show off, but that wasn't what I was planning." But he could easily be persuaded to wait to show Magnus the surprise until after he'd showed off something else instead. "It can wait if you want me to wake you up before your surprise."
