Alec snorted out a laugh at that, handing Magnus a fork, “Jace refuses to learn. I don’t mind cooking though, honestly. It’s fun.”

There were a lot of things he did for fun than no one else knew about. But that was a topic for another day. Alec waited to take a bite until Magnus did because he wanted to see his reaction to the food. That and he was far too nervous to eat anything.

“I hoped it was something you liked. I know you eat from pretty much anywhere, but I figured Italian was a safer choice. It’s a bit hard to mess up spaghetti unless you’re Isabelle.”

Magnus smiled softly, taking the fork from Alec before shrugging. “I also love Italian so you hardly need to worry about that.”

With that he started eating, gathering a mouthful onto his fork and trying it. A quiet but pleased noise left the warlock as he ate. That was good. He needed to ask Alec to cook far more often.

“It’s really good. Thank you Alexander. Now you eat as well.”

The shadowhunter tried not to look too pleased at his boyfriend’s reaction and quickly ate his own food.

“You’re welcome. I.. I wanted tonight to be special and I mean it already was going to be, but I wanted to make it really special and..” Alec was babbling, something he didn’t often do and his cheeks heated up again as he stared down at his now empty plate.

Swallowing hard, Alec stood from his chair to stand in front of Magnus, hoping he didn’t get too nervous and chicken out.

“I love you, Magnus. I know we’ve had our ups and downs, and I know that being with a shadowhunter can’t really be easy when you’re a warlock but you chose me anyway. I want..” He swallowed again before pulling the box from his pocket and got down on one knee, holding the box out and opening it to reveal a beautiful, but simple, ring, “Will you marry me?”

A soft frown creased the warlock’s brow as Alec started rambling but there was a fond and amused smile on his lips all the same. But when Alec stood his frown of confusion only deepened.

“Alexander–” He started but quickly cut off once the Shadowhunter got down on one knee as eyes widened. A hand covered his mouth before he quickly started nodding, letting out a short laugh.

“Yes. Yes, of course. Oh my god, I love you so much. And the ring is beautiful, you’re beautiful.”
