It had been a long day and if Alec was being honest, all that he wanted was to just have a nice dinner with his husband, potentially cuddle up on the couch for a bit and just relax; but this was too important to keep from Magnus.

Instead, Alec had set up a nice dinner anyway - had gotten some food at Beacon’s Diner -, had lighted up some candles and was just mixing a martini when he felt Magnus come home. 

With a smile, that he knew wasn’t able to cover up how tense he was, he turned to Magnus, just as he started pouring the drink into the glasses.

“Welcome home, I hope you’re hungry.”

After learning that Magnus was in town Seamus had sent a message to his old friend asking him to meet at his distillery. He was waiting in his office with a bottle to share with his dear companion. When he sensed the other approaching he stood with a smile. 

“It has been a long time Magnus.” He said softly as he extended an arm in greeting with a warm grin.
