Sep. 4th, 2013 06:25 pmoverprotectivehunterTonight was a night to celebrate their victory and think fondly of those who were lost. Both Valentine and Sebastian were dead and for the first time that Alec knew of, Downworlders and Nephilim had fought together. They had even been allowed to remain in the city as alliances were created. It was a chance for new beginnings, something Alec hadn't realized he needed until he'd introduced Magnus to his parents.
His mother was polite and didn't seem surprised by his preferences. His choice of boyfriends and that very public kiss might have been more of a shock, but at least Magnus hasn't dressed in one of his usual party outfits for the meeting. Robert... That reaction hadn't really surprised him. It hurt, but it was expected and Alec knew that it'd be a long time before his father was okay with his choices, if he ever was.
But Alec refused to let that bother him. Not when this was supposed to be a happy time for them all, remembering those lost fondly and saving tears for later. The grief would eventually, not that it completely left him, but for now he wanted to share Idris with Magnus. He hadn't spent much time in Alicante, or the countryside nearby, but he knew of a quiet spot where they'd be away from the party and be able to see the stars. And Magnus had probably seen less of Idris than Alec had.
When he was sure that his family wouldn't notice, Alec caught his boyfriend's hand, leading Magnus away from the lights and the questions, guiding him through the twisted streets until they were away from the city and anyone that might interrupt.
