Early Mornings aren't so Bad (for [personal profile] magna_bane )

Whenever Magnus stayed the night, Alec's internal clock seemed to be more aware of time.  Normally, he woke up early enough to train but when she was in his apartment, any tendency to roll over and sleep in disappeared.  Or they did whenever they slept in separate places.  But it seemed that when they were together, after having spent the night together in an intimate way that Alec had barely allowed himself to fantasize about, it seemed that he was more prone to drowse curled up with his...

Fiancee?  Could he call her that yet?  He hadn't asked her.  Not properly at least, but he had the feeling that she knew he would ask and he was certain that she would say yes.

He would have asked her the night before but he wanted Charlotte's permission to court Magna before he dared to propose.  Although, he doubted that her answer would stop Magnus from saying yes.  She'd probably insist that they elope if anyone tried to stop them from marrying.

Later in the morning, he would go to the Institute and ask, but for now he'd stay in bed, curled up with Magna.  Who seemed to be impersonating an octopus in her sleep.  Not that he minded.  Brushing his fingers through her hair, he flushed slightly as he thought of how his intentions of being a gentleman hadn't quite worked out the way he'd planned.  

Not that Magnus had seemed to mind and they had saved some things for their wedding night.  

Kissing her forehead, he thought of the night before and how much he loved having her in bed with him when he woke... Maybe he should ask Charlotte for permission to marry Magnus instead of to court her.

Normally she had nightmares. She dreamed of fire and people dying that she could only assume she knew. Part of her thought it was her mother and father, but she didn't know. Those dreams didn't hurt her tonight. Nothing at all. Nothing but a happy warm haze that left her feeling safe and whole for the first time in her life.

Feeling the first light of the sun filter through the curtains, she moved closer to the solid warmth against her. Slipping her legs softly up his hip, she let her memories faze in and out of consciousness as she relived the memories of the night before. Smiling softly, she hummed a happy sound as she felt his fingers in her hair. Part of her still didn't believe that Alec wanted her... but the doubt had been proven unfounded. Rather efficiently at that.

Opening her eyes slowly, she smiled up at him quietly. Amber gold peeked through dark lashes as she let them adjust and clear. Catching his hand, she turned just a little and kissed into his palm. It felt like a dream. An amazing dream. "Good morning, Alexander..."

Letting her eyes close again, she burrowed herself into his chest flushing just a little at the thought of just how much they'd done together. Turning her head, she pressed her ear over his heart and just listened to the beat. She knew her hair was running wild on her head and really she wasn't sure how she looked at the moment. But being this close... she found it hard to be anything but happy. "I love you."

Finally pulling one hand from clutching the elder, she pushed her hair back and tried to smooth it out. The action caused the shirt to slide off her should and ruck up further on her hip. Not that she'd notice, her focus stayed intently on her hair that she didn't want to look like a rat's nest. When she finally gave up the struggle, she sank down against him and kissed the center of his chest only to lift her head to meet his lips in that soft kiss.

Her eyes fluttered closed before she licked her lips trying to chase the taste of him on her lips. She broke out into a beautiful smile before she let her hand rest against the side of his neck. "I wish every night and morning felt this amazing."

Opening her eyes again, they were shining bright with happiness. "I've never been happier... except perhaps when you told me that you loved me. That has to be the happiest moment." Pausing, she slid her thumb up and down his neck before humming words sweetly. "Je t'aime plus qu'hier moins que demain."

Moving easily into that kiss, she made a happy sound of content. Returning it fully, she slipped the hand on his neck up into his hair. Smoothing it softly, she couldn't stop the mewling noise she made as it ended. Magna wasn't the prettiest girl. She could probably dress more appropriately and let her hair grow longer, she'd be conventionally pretty then. But she wouldn't be her anymore if she did.

"Just promise me... if you take me to all those parties like your parents like to throw and attend... you don't expect me to play nice with the powder puffs they call women there." Teasing him softly, she smiled at him beautifully before kissing him again soft and slow. When she broke it off, she grinned at the fingers in her hair.

"My heart is yours as well and ever has been." She knew the moment she saw him the first time. She knew it even clearer now. Especially when he traced that rune over her heart. Breathing in slowly, she lifted up and slowly traced the same symbol on his chest before kissing the spot reverently. "I really... don't want to leave the bed today..."

Shivering softly, her eyes closed a moment as his lips slid over her skin. Breathing in shakily, she cupped the side of his face tenderly. "I want that, Alec. I want to wake up to you and fall asleep in your arms." Everything felt like a marvelous and wonderful dream that she never wanted to wake up from.

Catching his hand gently, she laced their fingers together between their chests. Kissing his fingers, Magnus tipped her head up to nuzzle his cheek. "I wouldn't make you go alone. You just have to keep me safe." Teasing softly, she kissed his Adam's apple soft and sweet. "I don't know what they see in Jace... but I suppose they do have fluff for brains." Winking at him, she lifted up and hovered over him to nuzzle their noses together.

"Do you want me to leave first?" Playing her fingers in his hair, she arched a brow. "Even if I'd rather walk with you... I need to sneak in and not get caught. They're used to me sleeping in." A lot actually. She could sleep a day away when she stayed outside long enough. A bad habit, but it turned into a great excuse to go to see Alec.

Golden eyes sparked with excitement at his offer. Marriage. She knew that courting led up to marriage, but to hear his propose it... The thought just ran up through her like pleasant electricity. "I don't need to court you, Alec... to know that I want to marry you. I would be honored and... ungodly happy... if you wanted me to marry you."

Her heart raced in her chest at the idea of it. If it all went as well as she knew it would with Charlotte, she could be engaged to the man she loved more than anything within hours. The smile was too much to contain as she beamed at him with pure love and adoration. "I know you will... I love you, Alexander." Now that she could say it... it just didn't feel like she could say it enough. "And I hope you realize... I don't care about money. I just... I want you. That's all I want." She had watched girls chase Alec for years and growled at them internally. But now... now he was hers and it sent an explosion of butterflies through her.

Shivering in happiness, she laughed softly as he kissed her nose. "Just hold me a little bit longer? I don't ever want this moment to end. This is the most alive I've felt in... ever." Kissing his lips softly, she hummed a happy sound at the offer. "I want that. Just you and I."

Her mind still tugged on her thoughts about how he might change his mind. He might realize she's not what he was really interested in. But then the flashes of memories of the night before crowded them out. The euphoria of being close to him and finding a means of release regardless of her gender told her that he loved her in every way. Not just here and there. Everything.

The thought humbled her as much as it excited her. Alec wanted her. The orphan with nothing. Not even a proper family name. The issue never really revolved around her attractiveness. She'd had enough propositions to know she wasn't the ugly duckling. Not really. And she hoped for Alec's sake, she could clean up enough to pass as a suitable match for him. Not because she thought he'd want her that way... but because he loved his family regardless of how ridiculous they could be. So she would try to be the lady worthy of the Lightwood's eldest son. At least in society.

Moving into his touches, she returned the kiss with a low sigh. "When I first met you... I wanted nothing more than to get to know you and get close to you. I hated parties. I hated all that formal stuff... I loved being around you. I loved climbing up to your window. I loved being myself when I was with you." Smiling softly, she swept his hair back lovingly. "I often wanted to convince you to runaway with me just so I could say I saved you from the gilded cage your parents locked you in. But I am a bit of a kid... and Will and I did read a lot of ridiculously crazy books and stories."

Softly relaxing into his arms, she rested her head on his chest. Closing her eyes, she smoothed one hand down his side idly. Drinking in the soft skin over hard muscle, she queried softly. "Is forever too long?" Sweeping her thumb along the dent in his hip, she felt that warm fuzzy feeling in her head. "I always want you happy." Which might have ended in a pleasant dozing until he mentioned Will and Jem as chaperons. Lifting her head, she stared at him and blinked. "Oh god... you realize if she asks, Will will follow us everywhere just to cause trouble..."

"I'd be sorry, but I am happy I was there... Someone needed to stay by your side and beat the girls off with a stick. They acted like you were the fox running from the hounds. Very disconcerting." And she had given a few girls black eyes for their troubles. Threading her fingers through his hair, she smiled quietly at the image of hiding in the library with him. "I would've preferred curling up in the library with you. You know... we can still do that now. Hiding in the library is a good habit."

A happy small smile pulled at her lips as she heard Alec affirm what she hoped to be true. She hoped her 'rescues' were well received. And it seemed they were. "I would spend days before parties coming up with plans and excuses just for that purpose. You know that?" Returning the kiss, she cupped his chin lovingly in her hand. "As long as you're the love interest in whatever shape or form... I refuse to be a hero without you."

Magnus thought nothing of herself. Not like that. She was no more than a little orphan that would move heaven and earth for the man she loved. It just felt so thrilling that he returned the love she had for him. Maybe it could be a good story. Maybe.

"Eventually they would." Winking at him, she caught his lips in a soft kiss again before shivering at the nip. Drawing a deep breath, she licked his lips before forcing herself to sit up. Letting her fingers linger on his skin, she let the tips skim the waistline of his pants. "I'd like that... I want to marry you soon. I'd even elope if you wanted." Winking at him, she stretched almost catlike still partially curled into his side. "Getting out of this bed and away from you is proving very hard..."

"Will always says I have the flare for the dramatic. No point in running them off without making it entertaining as well." Her smile was gentle as well as impish. Magnus was likely the only person that could pull that expression off. "Besides... I wasn't letting some girl sweep in and steal you before I had the chance to try first."

Humming softly at him, she lifted a hand to softly trace the side of his face lovingly. "Love... you know what your library has that neither of the others have?" A brow rose just a little as golden eyes sparkled. "You. That makes your library the best in the world."

The flash of pride in her eyes had her sitting up straight and softly smoothing out his shirt almost like a bird posturing. "Yes well, my darling, I put elaborate and colorful planning into each of those rescues." After all, what was a rescue that wasn't fun and exciting. Or at least something to giggle about later. "I don't like sharing you anyway."

Leaning down again, she softly pressed her lips to his forehead. "You're my other half. There would be no other love interest." Slipping her lips along the bridge of his nose, she kissed there before she kissed the corner of his lips. "We are a perfect team, you know that, right?"

The idea of eloping and coming back to a group of angry people made her laugh quietly. "I will never make you go through the torches and pitchforks. Promise." Slipping off of him, she slowly moved to find the pitcher in the room. "Alec... did you want me to ready a bath for you?" It was nothing huge. Something she enjoyed doing if only because she felt like he was hers to love and care for. And after the night they had... he might want to clean up more than just splash water on his face.

The pleased quality was sure in her eyes. Knowing that he would only be hers sent a thrill of happiness through her body that reflected in brilliant golden eyes and her smile. "I've been yours that long as well." Moving back to him, she dared to risk a slow soft kiss. Smoothing his hair back, she hummed a happy sound.

"You are my home, Alexander." Nipping at his ear, she smiled that much more as Alec kissed her knuckles. "You're all I've ever wanted in my life, and you make me feel like I belong." Not that Charlotte was bad to her... they'd been nothing but good to her. But Alec made her feel like she actually belonged in the shadowhunting world. Or maybe just the world in general.

"I think together we could be a great hero team." Winking at him gently, she moved off to check the bath tub tipping her head. It was never fun to make a bath, but bathing was fun. Whether or not she would get to bathe hadn't really occurred to her. Though that was forgotten as Alec said 'both'. Turning her head to the man she loved, she grinned a little. "Wouldn't it take more time for us to wait for the other to bathe?"

Leaning into his side, she moved her hand to slide over one of the runes on his abdomen. "I want to do things for you, Alec... I don't see it as work."

"I know... I have always felt like I belonged with you." Reaching up, she pulled him down and kissed his lips softly. Her body thrummed with the energy of knowing how close he was to her. Letting her eyes close, she let out a warm sigh again his lips. But it couldn't last as she lowered off of her toes till her feet were flat on the floor again. "I hope I've always made you feel that as well."

Her fingertips drifted to trace another mark as her eyes smiled for her this time. "We'll always be a team. I'll even let Jace join once in a while when imperative or he promises to play nice." Tilting her head back, she grinned at him like a Cheshire cat. "Deal?"

The mirth suddenly changed to surprise as he said 'bathe together'. Her world suddenly seemed to stop spinning altogether. Blinking a few times, she felt her breath hitch at the mental image before her expression shifted to a brilliant smile. "You want to?" The eagerness wasn't hidden on her face as she searched his. In the end, she nearly bounced with energy.

"I want to. In both cases." Turning her head, she kissed at his shoulder before pulling away. It would take a bit to fill the tub, but she was driven. "I'll be right back." Catching his hand, she squeezed it lovingly before bounding off to fill up the tub.

It took a bit. After all, she needed to warm some of the water before it was ready for them both. Where she never cared for excessive scents, she did put sandalwood oil into the water before it was finally finished and ready. Testing the temperature, she looked accomplished then glanced at him. "Go ahead and get in... do you still want me to join you? I don't have to, you know..."

"You will always be important to me... that I swear." No matter what. Even if she had to start finding things to stand on just to kiss him. It may feel amazing to disappear in his arms with her size... it wasn't so awesome to practice standing on her toes like a ballerina for longer than she could stand. Graceful as she was, she had no desire to follow said fine art of dancing.

"If we must keep him." Sighing dramatically, she knew exactly why she was just as guilty of starting battles with Jace. It was all due to the way Alec's eyes followed him more often than not. But now if she thought back on all those times... Alec's eyes always transferred to her. And part of her wondered why she'd never noticed it before.

That realization on top of his desire to bathe with her had her moving quickly and happily. And when he finally moved to get in the bath, her mind really focused on what that meant. Molten gold eyes watched as the clothes slid off of his body. Her heart pounded in her chest as she nearly forgot how to breathe. So when he said he wanted her to join, she had to really bring her mind into focus. "I want to... so dearly."

Breathing in slowly, the blush ran up into her face and along her neck as she unbuttoned his shirt. As it fell open, she gently shrugged it off and tried not to notice how bare she was. Instead, she stepped into the tub and gently settled between his legs, her back to his bare torso. Her breath caught as feeling his so close... the smell of him and sensation of miles of skin open to her own bare skin.

"I... this... I love feeling this close to you..." Her pupils dilated as so much had to be processed at once in his arms.

"I love you." Her expression softened and warmed in ways it only did for Alec. No one got to her like the dark haired Lightwood got to her. Will used to tease her that it was the uncanny similarities between them that she was so fascinated by. Admittedly she liked the dark hair and blue eyed combination, but Will was not even remotely desirable to her. She had been at the Institute before Will. Seeing him barge into the Institute crying only told her one thing... he needed someone to watch over him much like she had. But it wasn't the same way that Alec affected her.

Alec ran through every part of her body making her want to keep him close and just love him. She wanted to care for Will and keep him alive. She wanted to follow Alec to the ends of the earth and fall over the edge with him. Which was the feeling that settled her heart as his eyes finally slid over her.

Nervousness laced through her only to make her shiver just a little as her hand slid into his gently. Tipping her head as he kissed her neck, she sighed softly. Letting her eyes close as she reveled in his warmth and touch, she gently pulled his arm about her waist. Her breath caught as she pressed Alec's hand palm flat against her stomach. "I want that too... If I had my way, I'd say this was the only way we should ever take a bath."

His stomach muscles rippled and tensed under his hand. Humming a happy sound, she splayed her hand lightly over his. The feeling of his hands on her couldn't be replaced or duplicated. Everything Alec did... from the touch of his hand to the sound of his voice left her trembling with need.

But she kept a hold on it as best she could. Right now she just wanted to feel his arms about her and stay close to him. It didn't matter if the world saw it as scandalous... All she knew was how beautiful the moment remained in her minds eye as she cuddled against his chest.

"You spoil me. You know that?" Grinning happily, she ended up mewling as those lips met the shell of her ear. Snuggling deeper into his chest, she attempted bury herself there. The idea of always being this close to him sent a rush of happiness flooding through her. "But I do want that. I want it so very badly." She'd easily agree to the daring suggestion. "I love you so much...."
