So new that each was still learning the rhythms of the other, every glance or touch a move in a territory both wonderful and strange.

Time was something that moved in fits and starts for Magnus, dissipating like mist or dragging like chains, but when Alec was here, Magnus's time seemed to fall into an easy rhythm with Alec's, like two heartbeats falling into sync.

Magnus wondered if he would ever get used to being surprised by Alec Lightwood. He hoped not.

I told you not to flirt with me.

He was beautiful and hopeful and hesitant, a heartbreaker who wore his heart on his sleeve.

I never doubted your heart. Only my place in it.

Every time, it felt new. Magnus never wanted to get used to it.

. . . If we don't slow down and savor moments like these, where I'm staring into the eyes of the man I love.

He couldn't tell what Alec was thinking, but as he watched, Alec smiled just a little, and reached out across the bar.

Alec was not like any Shadowhunter Magnus had met before.

Magnus was more shaken by Alec's look of concern than he was by the crash. Magnus found himself wanted to glance over his shoulder to find who the look was really directed at, not altogether able to believe it was for him.

Alec looked at Magnus, and Magnus could not entirely understand Alec's small smile.

If you died, a part of me would die too. So remember, Magnus. It's not just your life. It's my life too.

I never want anything but this. I never want a less strange love.

He thought of the way Alec's hands had trembled when he'd asked Magnus if he wanted to go out, about how glad and astounded he had seemed when Magnus said yes.

Then Alec was kissing him, and Alec's kisses were uninhibited and utterly sincere, all of his lanky warrior's body focused on what it wanted, all of his open heart in it as well.

It had been a shock to see such feelings open and innocent on a beautiful boy's face.

Magnus found himself wanting to show his hand, to take a risk and be vulnerable.

He loved this time in the world, when he could reach out in a public place and take Alec's hand.

Alec pulled Magnus into a tight embrace and held him for a moment, feeling the warmth of his body and the soothing sound of his breathing against him.
