There was a faint hum of music and conversation that Alec picked up over the sound of his pounding heart. It didn't seem to matter how often they were together. One look from Magnus and Alec felt like he was the stuttering, blushing seventeen year old whose world completely changed when he asked Magnus Bane for a date. The butterflies and warm rush of desire that had been accompanied by something deeper that he hadn't understood back had then never faded and Alec was certain it never would.

Neither would the thrill of having his husband on his lap when anyone from the party could stumble in and see them. Some memories might be hazy but Alec knew this was a 'danger' they both enjoyed.

Shivering when Magnus' hands slipped beneath his jacket, he made a quiet noise when Magnus caught his lip. "Is that a Mundie thing?" Alec tried not to say the word in front of anyone except Magnus and even then he felt faintly guilty for using it but didn't know why. It seemed like the right description. "I don't think I - " The rest of the words were forgotten as his husband moved his hands and Alec used the change in position to pull Magnus closer.

Deciding what he had and hadn't done in the past didn't matter, he kissed along Magnus' jaw, fingers sliding over tight denim. "I should thank you for setting this up."
