"It really meant that much to you?" When he'd pulled Magnus close for that kiss, he hadn't been thinking of making an impression or proving himself to his boyfriend. His thoughts had centered on Magnus, needing to show him that he loved him. The fact that they'd had an audience hadn't occurred to him. At least not in a way that mattered.
Even if that hadn't been his intention, a thrill of pride ran through him at Magnus' words. He still didn't think he was brave or amazing - he'd done what was needed during the battle and he couldn't think of the kiss as bravery - but he liked the idea that he was the first to prove themselves in such a way for Magnus. Magnus was his first love and in some way he was a first as well. "I didn't really think of it that way. I just needed you to know how much I love you."
Humming softly at the kiss, he moved closer, arms sliding around Magnus' neck. Everything felt more vivid now that there were no more secrets, the guilt and fear leaving him so that he could enjoy each moment with his love. "I think it's the other way around. If you hadn't swept me off my feet, I never would have dared to ask you out."
As they began to dance, Alec smiled at his love, a faint flush crept across his face as he thought of how it'd felt to be bound to Magnus. "I've never felt that close to anyone before." Not even the parabatai rune had given him that sort of connection to another. "The magic's new so none of us know but other marks can be used regularly without harm."
The Alliance rune might be different but he couldn't believe they'd be given a rune to bind Shadowhunters to Downworlders and it harm the ones using it. "I think it's like the others. Overusing it could possibly cause harm, but if we were careful."
Tipping his head, he kissed along Magnus' jaw to press his lips to the spot beneath his ear. "I want that too. I want to be part of you." That's was the only way he could describe it. Linked body and soul to the person he loved most.
