Hey guys! So the college process sucks- I wouldn't recommend it at all. I've been really busy applying to schools and going to scholarship meetings and visiting places and hearing from representatives and taking tests.

It's a lot. So much that my fics had to take a back seat. But I managed to fit in some time to finally finish this.

I hope you like it!

"Whoa-hey-Darling? Alec? You do this to me so much that I'm starting to become concerned."

Alec vaguely registered a long fingered hand being waved in front of his face.

He blinked multiple times until the black spots that were encroaching on his vision started to clear up.

He took a deep breath and exhaled, "Huh?" He asked stupidly.

But sounding stupid was surely better than fainting in Magnus' living room, right?

Magnus' sculptured eyebrows furrowed in concern, "Are you okay, sweetheart? You looked as if you were about to pass out on me-"

"No-what? Why would I do that?"

He wouldn't do that. He was perfectly fine. Being around Magnus didn't make him feel lightheaded or cause his hands to shake or make him feel like he was falling-

The first thing that Alec noticed was that he was lying down on a soft surface. He cracked his eyes open to see that he was in a bed.

But clearly not his own.

Alec had never even thought of buying sheets this bright yellow or glittery.

He looked up to find Magnus sitting on the other side, a huge book balanced on his knee. Alec let out a groan and pushed himself up on his elbows.

"You passed out." Magnus observed, not looking up from his book.

"Yeah-" His voice sounded rough.

"I'll admit that I don't usually have people pass out on me when I admit my feelings for them. Should I take this as a negative sign?"

"No-no-" Alec pushed himself the rest of the way up to a sitting position. "I- I like you too."

Magnus raised an eyebrow. "You sure?" The corner of his mouth quirked up in a small smile.

"Yes!" Alec said and from there the words just seemed to flow out of him like verbal vomit. "I just-just- I had no idea how to tell you without making a fool out of myself- or sounding like an idiot."

Something that he was doing right now.

Magnus hummed. "Well you're doing a pretty good job so far. But I think in order to take it to the next level, you need to start waxing poetic about how beautiful I am. Lay it on real thick too, make sure you mention that my hair looks like molten onyx and my eyes like a grassy sunflower covered meadow in the summer-"

Alec found himself laughing, hiding his face in his hands at the thought of actually doing what Magnus had just described and sank lower onto the bed.

Magnus leaned over him and took Alec's wrists into his warm hands. He gently removed Alec's hands away from his face and smiled down at him. As ridiculous as Magnus might have been, he really was beautiful. If he had been able to form words, he just might start waxing poetic.

"No-" Magnus started. "No-none of that. Don't go distracting me now, darling, things just started getting interesting."

Interesting didn't even begin to describe it.

Magnus had told him that he liked him and now here he was in the other man's bed with said man so close that Alec could feel his breath against his cheekbones.

"Distract you from what?" Alec asked breathlessly.

One of Magnus' thumbs stroked his wrist and he let out a tsking sound. "I can't remember anymore. I only have one thing on my mind now."

"What?" Alec asked softly.

Magnus leaned impossibly closer until they were only a hairs breath away and Alec felt himself freeze, his heart skipping a beat in his chest.

"Kissing you-" Magnus said just as softly before closing all remaining distance between them.

When Alec was able to get his brain up and running again, he realized that Magnus was kissing him. Magnus that he had pined after and wanted for so long was kissing him and here he was messing it up because he was too busy being frozen to kiss back.

Magnus paused for a second and Alec instantly panicked, started to worry that he had ruined everything. But then Magnus cupped his face, started murmuring soothing words against Alec's skin, and kissed him again with a bit more pressure.

And Alec was so overwhelmed. But in a good way.

He found his lips meeting Magnus', tasting the other man's cherry lip gloss on his tongue, and swallowing down each other's moans.

And it was perfect.

More perfect than words can describe.

Alec was woken up by the sound of his doorbell.

His eyes burned as he cracked them open. He reached out for his phone and the too bright screen told him that it was a bit after 1 in the morning.

Who the hell was ringing his doorbell at this time?

He considered just ignoring them and attempted to go back to sleep but was soon roused from his stupor when the person refused to go away and continued to ring the bell.

Alec let out a sound that was a mix between a groan and a sigh before throwing off his covers and staggering out of bed.

He tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes before unlocking the door and opening it to find-

Magnus.

Magnus who was wearing a pair of bright red sweatpants and a glittery black tank top. His hair was up in a quick messy bun and his face was completely free of makeup.

Alec suddenly felt a lot more awake.

He had only seen quick glances of this version of Magnus when the tall man stumbled out of his apartment half drunk after one of his big parties to get his mail or to let Catniss out.

Alec always thought that Magnus looked beautiful, no matter what he was wearing on his body or his face, but there was something special and breathtaking about seeing Magnus completely barefaced.

He smiled and Alec felt a pain in his chest like his heart had been sharply jabbed.

"It's time, darling!" Magnus exclaimed, sounding way too excited for so early in the morning.

"Time for what?" Alec asked stupidly, brain still struggling to keep up with what was happening around him.

"Catniss is in labour!" Magnus was practically buzzing, he was filled with so much pent up energy. Alec on the other hand, was just trying to wrap his head around the fact that three weeks had passed since the day they had kissed for the first time. Three weeks since everything had changed between them.

Only three weeks and everything was about to change again.

Magnus wrapped his long fingers around Alec's wrist, pulled him out of his doorway and into the hall. Alec let out a small sound of indignation at being manhandled but was soon placated by Magnus bringing his hand up to kiss his pale knuckles.

After fighting the blush that wanted to dominate his face, Alec closed the door behind him, and let himself be led to Magnus' loft.

As soon as they were in his colorful living room, Magnus was speaking, "I need to go grab some towels but you can check on her- she's in the guest room."

Then Alec was being pushed toward the guestroom and he had no choice but to enter. He found Catniss lying down on a red blanket. She gazed up at him with her bright green eyes and he had to admit that he had expected something more along the lines of finding her lying in a pool of her own blood or at least making sounds of pain but in reality, she looked more mildly inconvenienced than anything else.

Magnus came into the room brandishing an armful of multicolored towels which he ended up throwing down onto the bed.

"Now we wait." Magnus announced, shifting closer to where Alec was standing.

Wait it out? That seemed way too easy.

"Just wait?" Alec asked. "The vet didn't tell you anything else about this process?"

"Some other basic stuff- make sure they're comfortable and warm, clean them up after she finishes, makes sure that she doesn't try to eat them. It's not rocket science here, sweetheart."

Alec snorted. "Then why did you wake me up if you don't need help until later?"

At that Magnus' lips grew into a wicked looking grin.

"Because, darling," He moved closer until he could wrap his arms around Alec's waist and pull him closer so that they were chest to chest. He leaned his head down until it practically rested against Alec's shoulder. The warm breath on the exposed skin of Alec's throat sent shivers down the shorter man's spine.

"I couldn't-" Magnus continued. "think of- a better person- to kill time with." In between words he pressed a kiss to Alec's neck.

The younger man began to feel a bit lightheaded. He shrugged his shoulder and Magnus quickly got the memo, lifting his head and leaning forward to press their lips together.

Alec saw stars. Being able to do this still felt surreal. After pining after Magnus for over a year- it was so weird getting to do all of the things he had pictured in his head.

Finally feeling Magnus' long fingered hands in his hair, stroking his face, or gripping his hips. Finally feeling Magnus' tongue running along the crease of his lips of working its way into his mouth. Getting to see how Magnus tasted and how smooth and warm his skin was.

It was amazing.

The only thing that could have made it more amazing was if his ears weren't filled with the sounds of a cat in pain.

He broke the kiss and dropped his forehead onto Magnus' shoulder.

"Your cat is giving birth, Magnus."

He raised his head to meet the taller man's impossibly green eyes but Magnus seemed to be distracted by Alec's lips.

"She'll be fine for the next five minutes."

Alec smiled and pecked their lips together one last time. Or at least he tried to, before he could move backward, Magnus put his hands on both sides of his face so that they could kiss again.

And again.

And again.

He found himself smiling into the kisses. Alec had had crushes before but he had never known what it felt like to have those feelings requited. Having someone want him as much as he had wanted them felt like he had swallowed a handful of butterflies and now they were trapped inside his rib cage.

It was a feeling that he didn't want to give up for the world.

"Magnus-" He said breathlessly as he pulled away again. Not that he wanted to- but because he needed to. If they kept this up for much longer, they wouldn't be able to stop. Which in any other circumstance wouldn't be a problem but in this one, it might serve to be a slight one.

"Okay-okay-fine-" Magnus held his hands up in surrender and backed away, "We'll continue this later, though." He winked before turning his attention back to Catniss and walking over to her.

Alec closed his eyes and took a moment to steady his breathing. When he opened them and turned around, he found Magnus stroking the small cat's head while she let out sounds that were half appreciative and half pained. He could hear Magnus murmuring words of encouragement to her and assuring her that it would be over soon.

Alec took a step toward them but stopped halfway once he realized that something- someone was missing.

"I'll be right back." He called out, exiting the room and heading for the front door. Magnus shot a confused look toward the pale man's retreating form but didn't say anything.

True to his word, Alec reappeared five minutes later carrying a miserable looking blue- gray creature under his arm and mumbling curses under his breath because of the bright pink scratch that ran the length of his forearm that hadn't existed a few minutes ago.

Alec quickly set him down and Church took the opportunity to run across the room and settle at Catniss' side- trying to comfort her in a way Alec had never seen the cat do before.

He sat down on the floor next to Magnus and the other man placed his free arm around his shoulders. "There, now everyone is here for this."

Alec woke up with his head resting on Magnus' chest.

He wasn't exactly sure what time they had fallen asleep but it was sometime after four in the morning. Catniss had delivered the kittens- five of them- around 2:30.

They had, with the help of Magnus' vet friend, Catarina, walking them through the whole process by phone, cleaned all of the kittens up, made sure that they were warm enough, threw out the bloody blanket Catniss had given birth on, and settled them all on her cat bed instead.

After they had determined that the kittens were healthy and clean, Magnus had wanted to brainstorm names but his tired brain wasn't able to come up with more than three- The Great Catsby, Chairman Meow, and Santa Claws. After that he had started to spew nonsense and Alec had no choice but to pull him onto the bed and pretend that he had suddenly lost his hearing when Magnus suggested names like 'Cat 4' and 'Cat 5'.

In current time, Magnus must have felt him shifting around because he felt the man's warm hand rubbing circles into his lower back. "Alec-?" He asked, voice rough with sleep, "what are you doing up, love?"

Alec closed his eyes for a second to enjoy the feeling of Magnus' hand on his skin before trying to come up with a coherent answer. "I just- I don't know, I'm too happy to sleep I guess."

It was true.

He didn't know what the future would hold. His relationship with Magnus was still really new and they now had 7 cats to deal with. It wouldn't be easy, but it would definitely be interesting.

He was looking forward to interesting.
