Magnus smiled up at Alec, eyes full of adoration for the man in front of him. "I remember why I married you," he said, rubbing his thumb against the tattoo on Alec's neck like it was a mindless habit born out of doing it so many times. "It was because I love you, and I want to share my life with you." Even if he couldn't remember what that life consisted of past certain details, the words rang true in his ears even as he spoke them aloud. Everything before now would come back to them, or perhaps it wouldn't, but he shared Alec's hope that they would be given the milestones of their relationship.
Even when it felt like his heart was full to capacity with love for Alec, something made it spill over and wash through Magnus in a heady rush of affection. The kisses were delicate as they peppered over his hand, and he smoothed the pad of his thumb over Alec's lips as he kissed it. "I'm sorry, my love. I fear that we both might wander off in thought while our memories are returning." Allowing himself to be swept up into Alec's arms, he rested his forehead against the side of his jaw and pressed his nose against his pulse point just to feel his heart beating. "I won't let anyone take you from me," he said with confidence, tightening his arms around Alec and gripping at the back of his jacket. "I love you more than anything, Alexander."
Watching Alec place the ring on his hand, his eyes widened as it automatically changed to suit his more slender fingers. It was as if the ring knew that it belonged on Magnus and was altering itself to accommodate him, further proof that it was meant for him. The closer he looked into their lives, the more magic he could find in even the simplest of objects; it only increased his curiosity regarding the memories that alluded them both.
Magnus laughed brightly as Alec's words caught his attention, and he traced a finger up the side of his neck and down the line of his jaw. "We'll have to explore the backyard a little next time," he said, smirking with a raise of his eyebrows. "I'm sure there's somewhere back there to suit those fantasies, but for now I'd like to christen our new home."
Making a sound of surprise as he was lifted into strong arms, he didn't once doubt that Alec could hold his weight. He wrapped his arms around his neck and grinned, though the smile softened as Alec spoke such strong words that sounded as deep and profound as any wedding vow. "Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame," he found himself replying, carding his fingers through Alec's thick hair as he carried Magnus through the front door, "Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it."
