Nov. 20th, 2013 10:10 pmoverprotectivehunterIt was never easy to figure out a gift for Magnus. His boyfriend might complain that Alec was difficult to buy for, but how could buying something for a simple Shadowhunter compare to trying to buy a gift for someone who could make whatever he wanted appear with the snap of his fingers. And, if Magnus wanted to actually buy something instead of resorting to magic, he had more money than Alec felt comfortable thinking about.
Despite what most people who knew about Shadowhunters thought, Nephilim did get paid for their work. Alec did get enough money to live off of and his family wasn't poor. He could afford to buy a decent present. Maybe. If it wasn't too extravagant.
Which wasn't exactly what he wanted to do... Maybe.
The whole situation was confusing, even to himself. When he realized that Magnus didn't even know when his own birthday was, Alec had decided that he would choose a date and for his lifetime at least, that would be Magnus' birthday. The only problem was... what to get Magnus.
The obvious choices seemed pointless and Alec knew his style was so different than Magnus' that he had no hope of picking out something his boyfriend would like. So eventually he realized that if a tangible gift wasn't right, then something they both could experience and remember. A memory instead of something that would fit in a box.
The tickets to the symphony weren't the best they'd had ever had, but he didn't have his boyfriend's connections. Even if he did, he didn't have the money to buy them since part of his gift was a new suit to wear for Magnus. Izzy had been thrilled to help him pick it out, taking him to a place that he was sure Magnus had told her about. He let everyone fuss over him, picking a style that Izzy said would make Magnus swoon like a teenage girl, and then got swatted for reminding her that she was a teenage girl. They argued over colors until they decided they'd found the perfect combination to bring out the blue of his eyes.
The day of the concert, he left a simple envelope with his lover's name written on it next to Magnus' favorite coffee mug. Inside were the tickets and a note that said when Alec would pick him up for their date. He dressed at the Institute before heading back to the apartment, picking up one last thing before waiting on the doorstep. Standing outside their apartment with a small bouquet of mixed flowers, Alec hoped his research on the Victorian flower messages was right and he was telling Magnus how much he loved him instead of something embarrassing and knocked on the door, somehow managing not to fidget while he waited for his date.

Alec could pull away with this grip. He always wanted Alec to have that option when he made a conscious decision to be a little rougher. And honestly, even if he hadn't... the way Alec swallowed him down or even the way he looked at him through his lashes... Magnus knew that taking his mouth became inevitable.
And that moan around him sealed that.
Feeling the deep vibrations about aching desire, Magnus only saw white for a moment... then he was thrusting into his lover's mouth. Not hard, but definitely deep. He kept the motions slow but he liked it that way. It felt like claiming every part of Alec's mouth and making it his own. And he loved that feeling more than anything.
"God... Alec..." Shivering, he knew he wouldn't last long, especially with the occasional hard buck into Alec's mouth that almost sent him over the edge each time. Two or three in a row... he knew he'd come apart too soon...
