Notes:

So, if you guys read the note that I left in the first part you probably know that I said that I may or may not delete this story because the smut really bothered me and it wasn't what I usually write.

And then, all of you guys that read the story and left me kudos and comments really changed my perspective on the story. It seems like you guys really liked both the drama and the sex. It really made my day every time I got an email about my story getting comments and kudos.

All I can really say to you guys in thank you. Thank you for the kind words. Because I low key expected for people to tell me that this story was gross. So, as a thank you to you all... I wrote two more chapters so that this can give you more to read.

Chapter Text
The First Attempt

Alec was nervous. He had been nervous basically all day. There was a lot going through his head. A lot that he needed to get off of his chest. A lot that just... needed to help him that day. It felt like Alec's heart was slamming hard against his chest like a hammer to a loose nail. Alec was tapping his fingers nervously against the table. He felt like he was vibrating. His heart and head hurt. Alec swallowed the saliva that was dripping down the inside of his cheeks.

"Darling? Are you alright?"

Alec looked up and saw his boyfriend sitting right next to him. Alec instantly smiled. That beautiful face instantly changed his nervous mood. Alec rubbed his thumb against Magnus' own ringed fingers. He smiled widely at him.

"I'm fine sweetheart." Alec said to him, pressing a kiss to his cheek.

"Why are you so nervous? It's just dinner." Magnus said, taking a sip from his glass of water.

"Yeah. It is just a dinner. But it's your birthday dinner." Alec said.

Magnus rolled his eyes. He was a huge fan of fancy things, anything shiny and glittery. But for his birthday, Magnus never really wanted to celebrate. Mostly because he wasn't a fan of his birthday. Magnus didn't really have an explanation. He just never liked his birthday. But Alec knew to make sure that his boyfriend always had an amazing birthday. Magnus always does the same for him anyways.

Alec smiled, he was about to press another kiss to his boyfriend's cheek when he looked ahead and saw a small group of people that he knew and recognized.

He smiled. "Put a smile on your face babe. It's your birthday and everyone is here to see you."

Magnus chuckled. They both stood up and looked over, seeing their friends and family walk in. The first ones to arrive were Simon and Izzy. Magnus smiled widely, screeching a but too loud as he hugged the woman that he felt was the sister that he never had. They hugged tightly, walking themselves in a circle. Alec and Simon locked eyes. They shook hands and side hugged, as awkward as they were, and that was their greeting.
