Who dares disturb Magnus Bane, high warlock of Brooklyn?!

The Date (Part 2)

Alec's POV

He looked so casual all lounging and... Casual. He probably forgot I was here when Chairmen Meow got here and claimed his lap like the king. I wanted to sit there because apparently you get a lot of attention if you do. That spoiled cat is getting so much affection I can hear his purring over Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway in Princess Diaries. Why we're watching this I have no clue. I was too dazed by Magnus's smile to even hear what movie option we had.

I was trying not to breathe or move or talk or draw any attention to myself. I feel like he might kick me out if I ruin the movie for him, so I don't even look at him. I think he's intently watching but to be honest I'm more interested of the decor. He's apartment was huuuge. I think it's probably magic because it didn't look this big on the outside. I would try to describe it but it would probably be a bunch of blabbering so I'll just stick with it's super cool and pretty and-

Magnus had moved while I was out of it. Suddenly I was tense waiting for him to settle again, when I felt his warm hand slid around my shoulder. He didn't even try and hide it like I see boys in movie do, you know the fake yawn and stretch. I finally dare a look at him to find him grinning at me like I was some adorable pet.

"You're nervous" he remarked in a deep voice that made me blush and clasp my hands in my lap. I couldn't help but lean away but that did not deter Magnus Bane. "Where did all that moxie from earlier go? You seemed so sure of yourself it was cute"

I was being complimented I know but I couldn't help but feel patronized. I was trying hard to be confident but Magnus was so sure of himself it was intimidating. While I twiddled my thumbs watching the world race by he was owning the world. I would have a moment, a chance to prove myself, and would screw it up for everyone. I wasn't meant to be a ruler I was meant to be a solider.

"Sorry..." I lamely apologize looking down at my thumbs. "I guess it's a little intimidating."

"I'm sorry if I scared you. I tend to come off as a little loud" he laughed pulling me close so I awkwardly fell onto his shoulder. It sends a jolt of electricity through my body paralyzing me. It may seem so hopelessly juvenile to sit like this on a first date but this is all I've wanted. I've never experienced this like ever. I can't move, I'm frozen, I don't want to move.

Actually yes I want to move. I want to be closer. I shifted a little then closer and tucked myself under his head as he leaned it against mine. Honestly I probably look like an overly excited girl.

Do I care? Not. At. All.

Magnus was smiling too I could tell and it was contagious. This was the point where the boy would kiss the girl and I would skip that part in the movie cause it would get awkward. I don't want awkward. I want to just be held.

Wait. Does Magnus want that?

By the angel of course he does! He's the most flamboyant person I've ever met in my entire life he probably just expect everyone to strip for him. Do I want to? Will I be willing to lose this opportunity? Before I've fully made up in my mind, I'm kissing his cheek softly.

Magnus's POV

'Hello there' I thought when I felt Alec's warm lips suddenly on my cheek. I turned my head quickly to face him to see so many emotions on his face, but prominently he looked terrified. He thinks I expect something from him, normally I do but with him I want nothing more than his smile and his company. I want him to accept me for a warlock and a man and someone who loves him and cares for him-
