The gesture felt familiar but the feeling of Magnus' thumb sweeping over the mark on his neck caused him to shiver. He would have assumed that the tattoo would make the spot less sensitive, but the brief touch completely distracted him until he remembered that he should answer Magnus, say something about how much he cared about his husband. Blinked away the haze that had wrapped around his thoughts, Alec grinned at Magnus, heart light when he sensed how true the words were for both of them. Their memories might have disappeared but the feelings that they shared were as strong as before.
"I love you too, Magnus." For a moment, he stumbled over the next words he wanted to say. Something told him that something would hold them back from sharing their lives. There was some unstoppable force that would make that impossible but Alec wasn't sure what it could be. They were both healthy; the hospital wouldn't have released them if they weren't. "We're going to spend the rest of - " My. "Our lives together."
He told himself to ignore the strange phrasing that had he'd almost spoken aloud. There was nothing to worry about. Magnus promised to stay with him. They had spoken sacred vows. He was afraid of shadows and doubt, not anything tangible. "As long as we wander back, then everything will be all right."
Breath hitching at the idea of what they could do when the neighbors couldn't see, Alec smirked at the sound Magnus made when he picked him up. It wasn't often that he surprised someone with his abilities. "We need a high fence so no one can see." When he was sure that he wouldn't drop his husband, he made his way through the doorway, heart aching with happiness as they entered the house.
Whether they ever remembered their wedding or not, Alec would consider this moment as sacred as that ceremony. The words they had spoken were as powerful as any vow they might have spoken on holy ground. Their hearts and lives were bound together. Whatever fears he might have for the future didn't have the power to destroy that. Brushing a kiss lightly across Magnus' lips, a phrase that he didn't quite recognize came to mind. "Aku cinta kamu."
