Chuckling softly, Magnus felt a grin spread over his features despite his attempts not to react like a teenager whenever Alec complimented him. "I think you have a biased opinion, Alexander, though I'm really not complaining. This view is all yours," he said with a quick gesture at himself. But he knew that Alec meant it as something more special than that, and he grew more serious to show that he wasn't trying to make light of their relationship. "It's hard to notice anything else when my whole world is right here," he said while smoothing a thumb over Alec's cheek.

He hummed and nodded, pushing Alec's hair back from his eyes. "I did, and it was beautifully said," he replied, allowing Alec to move his hand to rest against his heart. He could feel it beating beneath his palm, steady and strong. Distracted by the words, he felt his own heart race at the echo of the vows they'd made before. Now, with more memories at hand, he recalled something that suddenly made his chest ache. "You should have runes," he muttered.
