Magnus hummed softly, smoothing a hand over the black shirt Alec wore beneath his black leather jacket. It was a color that suited him, though Magnus wasn't sure why he got that impression; black looked good on most people, if not everyone, but for Alec it was like he belonged in it. "And you do look incredibly sexy in all black," he said with a smirk, patting his chest. "But I wasn't suggesting anything about clothes, darling."

Startled by the affectionate gesture of Alec kissing his hand, Magnus melted a little closer and pressed his palm against Alec's jawline. "The present is a gift," he said with a playful tone though the expression in his eyes was a serious one. Being with Alec, relatively safe from whatever it was they had left behind in their previous life, was a blessing for them both. Even if they couldn't remember everything that had happened before, Magnus knew that he would be happy wherever Alec was. He couldn't remember the hunting that Alec referenced, or even specific sources of the discrimination he could remember feeling. But he encouraged himself to let it stay in the past, hazy as smoke, so that he could focus on a new life.

"I wish it hadn't been necessary to leave your siblings," he found himself saying. The words felt as true as they had been spontaneous, and he only wished that he had any inkling of who those siblings were. But the only thing that he recalled, beyond the fact that Alec had siblings in the first place, was that they loved him dearly.

Leaning in close to Alec and sighing softly at the hands on his hips, he couldn't imagine a time when he felt happier—and the lack of past memories didn't count towards that, he was sure. He chuckled and softly kissed the side of Alec's neck before looking back up at him, swaying his hips forward in a teasing motion. "None that I recall," he murmured before remembering a thought he'd had at the station. Making a soft noise, he leaned back without pulling away fully. "I think this belongs to you," he said as he removed a ring from his finger with a large monogrammed M on the silver surface. "Neither of us are wearing wedding bands," he explained as he took Alec's hand in his and slipped the ring onto his left ring finger, "But I wear enough that they might have gotten mixed up in our things."
