At first, it'd been difficult when he realized that there would be few first between them. At least ones that were both first... until he'd realized that somehow he had changed things for Magnus. It didn't matter that there had been others before him. They loved each other. That made everything they shared a first. Each day could be special, which was why Alec focused so much on those details.
But it still surprised Alec that no one else had thought to be considerate and put a little extra thought into a gift for Magnus, wanting every memory to be precious for him. "I like being the one that thinks of things like this."
It made him special. Important in a way that only Magnus had given him. Jace had believed in him, making him his parabatai but Magnus was the one that had encouraged him to step out of the shadows and be who he truly wanted to be. How could he not want to do something special for someone who had given him so much?
As Magnus enchanted the ring so that it wouldn't slip off, Alec felt like he was floating, hope and happiness burning brightly through him. He knew that Magnus could get him any ring either one of them could think of, but this one meant everything to him. Tt was a simple, clean design that was perfect for a Shadowhunter. Stars that reminded him of Magnus' magic and sapphires that had probably reminded his lover of Alec. MOre importantly, it was Magnus' and now his. The only one that might mean more to him was one that Magnus created.
Licking into his lover's mouth, he turned the kiss into a promise of all the things he stumbled over when he tried to put them into words, showing Magnus how much he loved him and all the detailed he wanted to share with him. Panting softly, he realized that Magnus looked almost stunned by what he'd said. For a moment, Alec thought that maybe he'd misunderstood and Magnus had been teasing. Then, his love asked that question and Alec began to grin.
"Yes, I do." He should probably consider his family's reaction but he would deal with that later. Magnus had offered and Alec wasn't going to refuse a chance to marry the person he loved. Slipping the ring off, he slid it onto the correct finger before catching Magnus' hand and threading his fingers between his lover's.
Tipping his head to give Magnus better access to his ear, he shivered slightly at that kiss. "It's perfect." Chuckling softly, he cupped his free hand around the back of Magnus' neck. "This isn't what I expected to happen tonight."
