"Yeah ... but is that really what you want to do?" Alec asked, eyebrows lifting and kissing Jace again, slow and deep.
"I knew the vampire part, not the witch," Alec admitted. "I haven't talked to her much, she seems nice though." He half-smiled. "Yeah ... I don't know. Maybe that's why I felt like it was okay to be open to other people, because I'd felt that Magnus loved more than one person at the same time, so it felt ... possible?"
"It's not wedding runes. It's going to be a little flame, for his fire, and an arrow for him," Alec said, "We're not married. Married ... I don't know. Technically, I already am. Twice. It doesn't really mean anything to the people here. It meant something to Magnus with Lucy, but they were barely married before she left. I don't think I'd want to risk it here. But having something permanent to look at when I can't see him, or he can't see me - that we can do." Alec shrugged. "Even when you weren't here Jace, I wasn't ever trying to replace you. Just move on from where I was at home. I didn't know I could have moved on with you instead of from you."
"It's a nice nose," Alec said, eyes rolling, but he did drop a kiss to the tip of it. He answered Jace's kiss and then studied his face. "Ragnor too, huh?" he asked, smiling. "Okay," he said. "But if there's anything you want to talk about, you can."
