There was something slightly different than expected in the kiss, but Alec couldn't figure out what. Magnus' lips fit against his the way they always did. The faint warmth of magic was the same. So was the scent of of burnt sugar with whatever passed for sandalwood in this reality. But there was some little detail...

No, it was just separation that was causing the anxiety. He was looking for danger where none existed.

The feeling of of fingers in his hair made him press closer despite needing to take a breath. Gently nipping Magnus' lip when he tried to kiss him again, his expression softened to relief at having his boyfriend here. Safe and whole. Not like he'd been the last time they'd been separated. "I'm never going to try to get rid of you." Not after everything they'd been through to get back together.

Rolling his eyes, he tried to scowl but Alec couldn't fight back his smile. "No one is going to steal a grumpy Shadowhunter except a High Warlock."
