Stargazing (for magnus_bane)
Tonight 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.

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.
