“So you’re saying he’s easily bought. I’ll keep that in mind. Though hopefully he doesn’t get too upset if this happens again and we can’t get him something nice.” He had a feeling that Magnus had a bunch of gift ideas up his sleeve, so he’d leave that to him. “I was born ready for this.” That sounded more cheesy than Alec would have liked, but there was no taking it back now. “We’re going to be fine. The fans will love it. You’ve seen them online. They were ‘shipping’ us before we were even an us.” It felt weird to be the one to be reassuring Magnus, but also he knew it was bound to happen sometime. He chuckled and nodded, before leading the way to the rehearsal room. Alec picked up a mike and flipped on the switch. He already had the song memorized, so when the tune started to play, he sang when his moment was ready. His eyes were on Magnus all the while and he felt as if he could fall a little more in love with him every time he sang with him.
When rehearsal was over, they were told to head toward the back stage room where they would have to change. Alec reached out for Magnus’s hand and gave it a squeeze. “That was a great rehearsal, Magnus. I told you we’d be fine. And we’ll be even better tonight. Just you wait. The fans will be begging for more.”
Magnus laughed and shrugged. “Usually, yes. He’s just protective of me, after being in the background so long, he wants to make sure I’m doing okay so he kind of freaks out when I’m late.” Sometimes Magnus didn’t know how to handle it, but somehow whenever he was questioning it, Alec was right there and brought him back. “I feel like they may be extra loud tonight, and I’m preparing myself for cray art all over the arena.” he laughed a little, going through their sets and light changes, adjusting mics and when they were done, he took one last look at the empty arena, knowing it was sold out tonight and the next time they saw it, it would be filled with fans.
He moved a little closer to Alec when his boyfriend took his hand, nodding. “I know, I’m just nervous is all, and not about the fans.” he assured. “Do you know what you’re wearing tonight, yet?” He asked as he looked up, dark eyes watching him with a smile.
