Magnus couldn't contain a chuckle at the truth of Alec's words. Not only had he struggled with his attraction towards men in general, but also specifically towards Jace. There had also been the tension between Alec and his parents, something Magnus would never understand simply because he failed to see anything disappointing about Alec. Even before he became irreversibly biased, he'd been able to see all the valuable skills and unique characteristics he possessed. Then again, Magnus clearly had very different priorities from Maryse and Robert Lightwood.
Though he sensed that Alec had more to say that was poised on the tip of his tongue, Magnus didn't regret cutting it off because he loved the way his breath caught as they came closer together. He wanted to keep the moment light rather than dipping back into that deep pool of concern for the past and forgotten memories. "Only if you ask nicely," he said with a bright grin that contrasted the dark look of lust in his eyes. He let some of his magic leak out of his fingertips and dance along Alec's pale skin. It felt like an invisible mark of his own to know that his energy was soaking into Alec's very being.
Magnus was able to tell by the way Alec walked that he was hard, trying to act casual about it and failing when he stuck to Magnus like glue. He wasn't the only one, either, and Magnus' skin-tight pants left no room for doubt that he was aroused by his husband. Luckily for them both, they were in the appropriate setting for it and Magnus somehow doubted that anyone would mind two attractive men walking around with erections, especially considering that one already had to be looking in order to see them.
Nearly tripping over his own feet at Alec's suggestion, Magnus' mouth went dry at the thought of his gorgeous husband on display like a piece of artwork. It was both thrilling and unheard of to think that he could either resist touching Alec for so long or that either of them would agree to using the other like an object. "You're already art, my beautiful Adonis," he said with soft awe in his voice. "We could show you off like that, but I don't know anyone I would trust around such priceless art." Though he loved the thought of showing off their relationship in a variety of ways, either public displays of affection or less innocent touches in shadowed corners, he didn't want any display to be based on others lusting after his husband.
He was distracted enough by the thoughts when Alec began leading him off in an unknown direction, clearly with a destination in mind though it remained a mystery to Magnus. he'd agreed to let Alec surprise him, though, and he'd accomplished just that by crowding him up against the wall in an out-of-the-way corner. Sucking in a breath of surprise, Magnus instinctively draped his arms around Alec's neck to keep him close. "It's still unfolding, but I like the direction it's going in so far," he replied, nuzzling the side of Alec's neck before kissing his pulse point.
