Drabble: Già Rubato
Fandom: The Mortal Instruments
Pairing: Magnus/Alec
Prompt: Malec on a gondola in Venice. The gondolier starts singing and Magnus joins in. Alec is embarrassed.
Note: Lyrics used are from Josh Groban’s song “Gira Con Me Questa Notte”.
Alec sighed as he leaned back against Magnus’ chest, his hand resting on the edge of the gondola just enough so that his fingers touched the water. Above them the night sky was peppered with millions of stars. He closed his eyes, a small smile playing on his lips. Here he could be himself, completely, it was just him and Magnus…well, and the gondolier.
Up till now the gondolier had been fairly silent, just humming some song but now he started to sing, “Il mondo gira con noi questa note. Ahhhh, esistesse lontano da qui. Un posto dove scoprire il mio cuore. Sapere se lui puo’ amare ti o no.” The gondolier had a nice voice, he sang softly, becoming one with the night. Alec relaxed even further…then Magnus decided to join in.
“Ci sono strade azzurre nel cielo. Ci sono occhi e il cielo e gia li-”
“Magnus…you are ruining the moment,” Alec muttered a blush coming to his cheeks. He could tell from the tone of the gondolier’s voice that the song was romantic in nature and for Magnus to be singing about that-to him-well, it wasn’t right, at least not when they weren’t alone.
Alec felt Magnus grin against his ear. “I am only adding to it darling, I can’t have this dear boy stealing your heart from me now can I?”
A frown came to Alec’s lips. He turned his head just enough so he could meet Magnus’ eyes. “He couldn’t steal my heart because it’s already been stolen.”
Magnus grinned. “Oh, by who?”
“You.”
“I know darling.” Magnus silenced Alec’s protest by pressing his lips to his boyfriends. Above them the gondolier kept singing and the stars sparkled.
