Magnus lifts a hand and presses a finger to that grin. It's far more charming than Alec realizes, which in turn only adds to its charm in a cycle that never seems to end, at least not for Magnus. "You, petal, couldn't possibly drag me anywhere I don't want to go," he says, now catching at Alec's face to keep him close. "I'm glad to hear I've been put into the 'doesn't suck' category, even if we both know that's a vicious slander."
He says things like that just to watch Alec blush and duck his head, he's certain he'll never get tired of watching that and hopes it never goes away. In truth, he'd be content to stay here and while away the morning, but this chair is covered in truth serum vibes at the moment, and are they really at the stage yet in their relationship where nothing they say might be best kept as a secret for now?
So instead he leans up and presses a lingering kiss to Alec's cheek as he shifts to stand, pulling Alec along with him. "You're here now," he says simply. "And I'm awake far too early. Let's pretend no one's looking for us, just for a few hours."
Alec's eyes roll back in his head before he can even hope to contain the blush he feels crawling up his neck and he laughs, breathy and a little helpless before he returns to grinning directly back at Magnus. Vicious slander, indeed. "I apologize," he says, somehow managing to channel the heat crawling along his skin into his tone. He's not very practiced at it, but he likes to think he's got a little time to work on it.
There's no masking the moment of relief that washes over Alec as he's gently pried from the chair. He really can't think of anything he has to hide, but that might still be the spell talking, and he crowds gently into Magnus' space, hands dropping to the other man's hips, which alerts him to something he really should have realized sooner, and would you look at that, his blush is definitely a little high in his cheekbones now.
"A few hours?" he asks, unsuccessful attempting to hide his fading any moment now blush by leaning in and pressing his lips against Magnus' forehead, lingering there. "What did you have in mind?" he might have a few ideas, himself, though he's not exactly opposed to being used as a glorified body pillow if Magnus is determined to get his beauty sleep in.
