"All the best things in life are worth fighting for. And you are the best thing in my life." Leaning down he touched their foreheads and closed his eyes. "I know you didn't mean it to hurt me. I know you're in a rough place with decisions that will make or break you. I'm selfishly happy that the decisions you made were in my favor." That meant everything to him. In ways he didn't quite fully understand yet.

Smiling at the nip, he cradled his love's neck and drew him closer to kiss him again sweetly. "I'm always yours. For now and always." Suddenly the Herondale madness made sense. All the soul mate 'nonsense' he'd scoffed at and love songs made all the sense in the world. That was new.

"Alone and uninterrupted are definitely in the itinerary for our practice honeymoon." Part of him wished they were already gone so he could take this further than kisses under starlight. He wanted more, a consummation of their relationship... courage to take a step to permanence like marriage. "How soon do you think I can get you from your parents?" Losing his little brother... Magnus wouldn't forget that in his rush. He knew it had to hurt. Just like the loss of Ragnor left a gaping hole in his chest.
