A Surprise and A Betrayal (✓)

22. Demons only reside in hell.

Magnus slowly stirred and fluttered open his eyes when he felt the warm rays of sun soaking his body. He never felt this happy and relieved at the same time. The couple were completely naked, their clothes were scattered on the floor and he was caged in his husband's arms. He looked at him adoringly. Last night was a hell of an adventure. He had finally let his emotions out in the open, told him the truth and his husband was still there with him, still loved him the same. He couldn't be happier. He slightly shifted in his place and reached his hands to play with Alec's locks falling on his temple.

Alec smiled inwardly. "Stop staring, love. I see that you love doing that a lot." Alec said in his morning husky voice, then slowly opened his eyes. The shade of red creeping over his warlock's face was beautiful. He smiled and kissed those red cheeks.

"Morning, love."

"Good Morning! How long were you awake?"

"Not long, but I was enjoying the feeling of holding my husband in my arms."

Magnus pouted. "Not fair!"

Alec chuckled and kissed his warlock softly tasting his morning breath, the one he loves so much.

Magnus kissed him back with full passion, not wanting to let him go. But something was nudging him at that moment, he felt a weird sense of Deja Vu. It suddenly struck him and he froze in his place.

Alec looked worriedly at his husband when he suddenly backed off. "Mags? What's wrong?"

"Alexander! It's... It's exactly like my dream. This happened in my dream. You.. you were right. What if that was precognition and.. and Camille.."

Alec shushed him and kissed the frowns forming on his forehead. "Magnus, calm down. Nothing's gonna happen, okay? Stop worrying."

"But.. but, Alexander.."

"Oh, hush you, don't ruin the mood." He scooted closer to Magnus and caged him in his arms again.

Magnus sighed and relaxed in his husband's arms. "Okay!" He whispered.

They lay like that for some time enjoying the feel of their skin touching together, leaving no inch between them. Then Alec got up and picked his clothes from the floor. "I'm going to make breakfast for us, you go get freshen up till then." He said and kissed him again.

He then got dressed and left for the kitchen. He prepared a breakfast of pancakes, two fried eggs, crispy bacon, butter toast, a bowl of diced fruits, a glass of orange juice for Magnus, and a cup of coffee for himself. Just as he was placing everything on the tray, his husband walked into the kitchen.

Alec frowned when he saw his husband advancing him only in his wine silk robe, black boxers, and home slippers. And he looked worried yet again.

"Magnus, what happened? Why aren't you dressed?"

"I... I did get dressed, but, it.. it was the same as my dream, Alexander. So, I removed them and worn my robe instead. I'm worried, Alexander. Everything's happening like my dream, even this breakfast." He pointed towards the tray, and he wasn't wrong, everything was the same except the pancakes had 'Happy anniversary' written on them with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.

Alec sighed and wrapped his husband in a tight hug.

"I believe you, Mags. But stop worrying, okay? Nothing bad will happen." He kissed him on his forehead and rubbed gentle circles on his back, the best way to calm his warlock, and he did calm down and relaxed in his arms.

"Breakfast?" He asked and Magnus nodded.

They walked towards the coffee table where Alec had placed their breakfast and they sat on their respective chairs eating in comfortable silence until Alec decided to break it.
