They’re on their way back from Alec’s parents’ house. It’s late and all the roads are empty, even the ones going into the city. There’s something soft about the world at night, about a highway lit up by a few headlights and the streetlamps that line the road. Even the glow off the dashboard is anything but harsh, caressing Magnus’s profile and bringing out the faded blue streak in his hair.
Alec hums, running his fingers down the outer seam of his jeans and leaning back in his seat. He glances out the window at the towering trees just beyond the crash barrier. They’re hard to make out in the dark, but it’s clear that they’re far away from the imposing skyscrapers and concrete jungle of the city.
Out of the corner of his eye, he catches Magnus running a hand down his face. It’s back on the wheel by the time Alec’s turned to look at him.
“Are you tired?” he asks, not missing the way Magnus has started to frown.
