Magnus felt almost... like he'd explode with the feelings rushing through him. Everything Alec did always sent his mind into a whirl of fluttering butterflies and happiness. "You look amazing tonight." And every night... but he wanted Alec to know how much his effort meant to him. "Just proves you can be irresistible in any kind of clothing."

Kissing over Alec's cheek, he sighed happily. "I do too. But I only want to hyphenate it if you want to take my name." His voice was oddly shy at that. His name had been a self-imposed punishment of sorts... he didn't want to force that on Alec. Not even a little bit... but that didn't mean Alec might actually want it... "Never wanted to before you..." Too many left him before they could age too much, marriage made that close to impossible. And sometimes he wanted to run away... this time... he didn't want either to be able to run.

"Sounds like a plan... do you think your mother would want to come?" Maryse knew him. They had no reason to like each other at all... except that he felt fondness for her in the respect that her son was the love of his life... and she tolerated him for Alec. Sadly... he only saw Robert Lightwood as a donor in some ways. All the good in Alec came naturally... or from his mother. Maryse may have been a hard woman... but she protected her children with all the ferocity of a mother bear.

"You may keep it." Smiling softly, he stole another soft kiss. "I want us to have both. Everything..." Nuzzling his hair gently, he made sure not to muss it up too much. "I know we will... I have a lot of connections."

Humming a happy sound for that kiss, he let out a sigh. "I want to go. But I also don't want to let you go either. It's a very hard choice..."
