I love you, and I know something’s wrong. Whatever it is, I’m here for you.
Supportive, empathetic boyfriends who just want to comfort and take care of each other always (✿◠‿◠)
pandemonium was packed that night, the music a heavy throb on the thick air, the pink, blue and gold light catching on everything and dripping through the sea of bodies. the music felt like it was pushing it’s way into magnus’s skin and straight down to his bones as he led alec through the club. they were tethered by two of alec’s fingers curled into magnus’s palm, and yet with the way the music felt and sounded, alec could have been pressed right up against him.
and really, that was exactly what he wanted. he wanted to sink his fingers into alec’s hips and feel his body close. he wanted alec’s mouth on his neck and their hips moving to the beat. he wanted alec’s long fingers tangled in his hair and to watch the light spilling down alec’s face as he tipped his chin up, lips parting. he wanted them both a little bit drunk and forgetting themselves in the shifting bodies of the club. there were other things to be done first, but until then, he let his mind roll into exactly what he wanted, which was to have his husband pressed up against him amidst all of these people in his club.
when they got to the bar, magnus tugged alec up against him, feeling alec’s hip collide with his own, fingers detangling and one hand trailing up over magnus’s arm. for a moment, magnus ignored him, raising a hand to the bartender and alec’s hand wandered, sinking into his bicep. when the bartender’s attention swung his way and he got a sharp nod, he glanced back at alec, staring at him as the lights spilled over them. alec was eyeing him with that singular focus that was so very him. it was like the club had melted around them and they were the only ones there, those lips parted, breath heavy, dark hazel eyes flicking to magnus’s mouth and back up to his eyes.
do you ever just think about malec being soft boyfriends?? bc i do and just
when they’re hugging and magnus is just holding alec so tight, burying his face where the shoulder and neck meets while alec’s is nuzzling the top of his head, both just breathing the other in, letting the familiar scent and closeness soothe and ground them
all the hugs though like, the tight hard one after a nasty mission, a thank god you’re okay, reassuring pressure of the others arms around each other the kind that should be crushing but that goes completely unnoticed, no room for anything but rough breaths of relief, holding each other close soaking up the warmth and love radiating from the other
also, kisses, morning cuddles, waking up together and ignoring that they have to get up in a couple of minutes just so alec can bury in closer, his head under magnus’ chin pressing a gentle kiss on that soft neck while magnus’ strong arms tighten around him and he places a soft kiss in his hair, legs tangled together, just breathing the other in, preparing for the rest of the day
magnus kissing alec’s nose whenever he sees the other is worried or upset about something, using his arms around the beautifully ruined neck to get rid of the small height difference and just before their lips meet he presses a featherlight kiss on his boyfriend’s nose instead, making it scrunch up adorably before an unwilling chuckle escapes alec’s lips “it tickles” he’ll whisper, worries forgotten as he moves his own arms around magnus, pulling him in and resting their foreheads together, mirroring smiles on the both of them, slow and gentle exchanges of kisses as they enjoy each others company, lost in their own bubble until they’re forced to rejoin the outside world again…
i just have a lot of soft boyfriends malec feelings ok …
In A Heartbeat 💓
