The possessiveness was indeed something new between them, and yet it didn't make Magnus uncomfortable the way it had in past relationships. Where before it made him feel like an object owned by his lover, making him into a kept man bought with gifts and affections, Alec was entirely different. His husband only ever wanted him as he was, and the possessive touches or words were like marks of their bond. To Magnus, wanting Alec to leave bite marks over his neck and chest was the same as painting each other with glittering gold symbols of their love for each other.
Humming thoughtfully at the analogy, he didn't get a chance to agree or point out the fact that Alec had possessed all the makings of a hero and only needed someone to help him find the courage to face his foes. Instead his mind was back to the expo, Alec's hands on him and his bigger body blocking out most of what he'd down to Magnus. "They'd see me come and realize how lucky I am to be married to you," he echoed, some of his eloquence lost in the way only Alec seemed to be good at drawing out. "You were the one making me feel that way, Alexander, but we only belong to each other."
He glanced over and caught sight of Alec's disappointed expression. Hand relaxing, still pressed against Alec's skin but with less intensity, he leaned in to kiss that look off of his handsome face. "I remember so much, sayang. Even when I didn't have my memories, they couldn't cut out my love for you." After all, Alec had been the first thing that Magnus remembered when he'd come to in the hospital, the only person he'd recognized and felt drawn to after they'd both woken up and stumbled around their false home.
"Plus, as an important first, I'm sure it'll come back to me," he reassured him. Ordering a shot of Jägermeister for both of them, he looked down at their hands and admired the way they fit together despite his copious amounts of rings. He could see his wedding ring glinting on Alec's fingers and felt a swell of love course through his veins, making his hand tighten around Alec's. "Such a skilled, handsome, kind, witty hunter should easily be able to woo a simple man, especially when he's already in love with you."
