In the candlelight
Magnus lit the third candle on the Advent wreath and curled up in his boyfriend's arms. Alec threw a blanket over them both. They enjoyed the other's presence to the sounds of Christmas songs. There was a fire in the fireplace, and snowflakes were merry outside.
When the whole apartment sank into darkness. Alec and Magnus got up to see if they were the only ones and saw the whole block sink into darkness. "It looks like a snowstorm," Magnus frowned.
"Probably," Alec shrugged. "Hold on, darling, it's nothing magic can do." Alec grabbed Magnus' hands and shook his head. "Leave it, it's romantic. Only you, me, the wood crackling in the fireplace and the candlelight. ”Magnus nodded, and they both returned to the couch, where they began exchanging kisses by candlelight.
