Alec began to protest that he was not handsome, but he knew that it was an old argument, one that they not longer needed to have even if it had softened into familiarity. They were beyond that stage of the relationship, Alec comfortable with himself in a way that he had been when he was younger. Younger? According to his ID he was eighteen. The thought made him wonder what had happened between the two of them that had made Alec so at ease with himself and how quickly had it happened. A whirlwind romance like the ones his sister read.
Had she read those types of books?
"Eventually we'll both remember why you married me," he teased. He hoped they did. He wanted to remember more of their relationship than a few kisses and the wedding. If he didn't, they'd create new memories but he wanted to remember their first date. For some reason firsts seemed important to him.
"I will think of a very good reason," he promised, desire turning to concern when he saw Magnus' expression shift to something that he recognized but didn't know the reason for. Catching Magnus' hand, he pressed a kiss to his palm, then to each fingertip. "Remember no going where the other can't follow. We're together." Letting go of Magnus' hand when he shivered, Alec wrapping his arms around his husband's waist. "No one is going to take me from you. There's nothing I want more than to be here with you." Magnus needed to hear that, needed to know that Alec valued him above everything else. "You're the one I love most."
Alec wasn't sure why he phrased it that way but it was true and it was right. It was one of the few solid things he could rely on until he understood more of his - their - past. "Thank you. I miss them and I know it'll get worse when I can remember them." Was it strange that he didn't want to include his parents in that invitation? "May need to? I thought that it'd be a necessity along with locks."
Sliding the ring onto Magnus' finger, he wasn't sure if it would fit, but he felt the metal change as it settled into place. Magic like the flames that Magnus had created? He was about to ask if Magnus had done something to it when he felt the currents energy surround them. Even without his memories, Alec knew that Magnus was powerful and he had nothing to fear from the forces that his husband could control. Magnus' magic would never hurt him.
But his husband could lose control and Alec was sure the neighborhood wasn't ready for whatever form that Magnus' power might take if it slipped free... or the kind of show that they'd have if Magnus went through with that promise. Ignoring the blush that felt like it had to be visible a block away, he was awed by the love reflected in Magnus' eyes, not realizing that his expression mirroed his husband's. "I'm an exhibitionist but I'd prefer that to be a private ceremony."
Giving Magnus a look to ask for his agreement, Alec swept Magnus up into his arms in the way he assumed was correct for the tradition. As he started toward the door, he recited something that felt familiar like the rhyme he'd remembered. “Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death.”
