Christmas punch
Magnus and Alec walked through Christmas-lit, snow-covered New York. It was no miracle that the snow remained on the streets. Magnus pressed against his boyfriend. Alec hugged him, feeling Magnus shake slightly. "Are you cold?" Alec cared. "I´m good."
"We can get warm," Alec smiled, and he and Magnus turned to Hunter´s Moon. "Hi Maia," Maia nodded. "Hi guys, so what do you want?"
"Especially something warm. Give us a punch twice, "Alec ordered. Magnus tried to hide his hands under Alec's sweater. "You're cold!" Alec shouted as Magnus's hands and nose touched Alec's hot skin. "I have to warm up with you when you're warming up so beautifully."
"By the Angel, thank you so much," Alec rolled his eyes and hugged Magnus. "Thank you," Magnus smiled as Maia placed the order in front of them.
"Shopping is exhausting, isn't it?" Luke smiled at Marys as they returned to Maryse's store.
"Yes,specially when you have a big family and you have no idea what they might like."
"Exactly," Luke nodded. "Shall we peek?" Luke asked as they passed Hunter´s Moon. "We can for a while," Maryse agreed. To the surprise of both, Magnus and Alec sat at one of the tables. Maryse and Luke took their punches. "Can we sit down or chairs are taken?" Luke asked Alec.
"Not at all, sit down," Magnus nodded. "What did you buy?" Alec craned his neck in his bags.
"Don't be curious," Maryse slapped Alec playfully on the shoulder. "Cheers, then," Luke said, picking up a glass of punch. "I'm not sure of we can make a toast with punch," Magnus laughed. The four glasses rang at each other.
