From Magnus' reaction, Alec decided that he had gotten the meanings of the flowers right. "I found an old book on the language of flowers and looked them up. The florist said it was unusual." Pausing, he looked at the flowers again. "Friendship, eternal love, passion, trust..." Smiling at his boyfriend, he reached out to touch one of the roses, running a finger over a soft petal. "The roses don't have thorns since that means love at first sight."
He wasn't sure of the compliment until he realized that he'd made his boyfriend blush. Leaning into Magnus' fingers, he hummed softly at the kiss, smiling against his lips. "I love you too." He almost began to follow Magnus to steal another kiss and then reminded himself that the flowers would be ruined if they didn't get them into water.
But when Magnus didn't answer his question right away, Alec began to wonder if maybe his boyfriend really hadn't known what those colors meant. Maybe he should pretend that it hadn't been important even if it had given him that hope. He still wasn't sure what to say when Magnus finally spoke. "I - uh - I'm not upset. I was..."
His voice trailed off as he realized what Magnus had said. A promise. He wanted Alec. Magnus wanted a lifetime with him. "You will?" Before he realized it, he was moving, pulling Magnus close and grinning brilliantly as he held his love. "I'll have you whenever you want to keep your promise. You have me for the rest my life."
