-For StARTERS! Thank you, I never thought anything I wrote would gut 1000. :) I was happy when I received 100. Thank you! As a reward, here is some cute Malec.-

Magnus and Alec sat in peace on the couch in Magnus' loft. The two had practically perfected the art of cuddling in silence, as they enjoyed one another's body warmth. Magnus was watching a some chick movie, while Alec silently read through a book.

"Alexander can I ask you something?" Magnus mused breaking the silence for the first time in what felt several hours.

"Of course"

"Why do you like me?" he started. "I mean, I get it and I'm thrilled you do, but I've always wondered, my personality is one that someone like you would normally run screaming from"

Alec tilted his head back enough to see his face. "because I love you"

"no. there has to be more than that. WHY do you love me?"

"because you love me?" he asked still puzzled by the sudden question.

"and I love you very much, but no. do you have a reason to love me?"

"of course I do!" he proclaimed turning his body to face the warlock.

"well then give me some"

"um. You're hot? You are really good at magic. You're great at bed" Alec whispered the last part under his breath. "you dress well. You're hot?"

Magnus let out a laugh "So it seems you love me for my body."

"No!" Alec protested "I love you for several other reasons! I just can't think of any on the spot!"

"Humor me then, come up with 10 reasons you love me and they can't be about being hot or sex! I'll do the same and we can exchange notes on Friday!"

Alec looked at him in concern, but was unwilling to shoot down the idea. "Sure" he said "10 reasons by Friday. How hard could it be" he muttered turning back and returning to his book. Magnus laughed, this would probably be the hardest task of Alec's life.

Friday rolled around and Magnus was returning home from a full day of working on tasks for a client. His feet hurt and all he wanted was to get home and crawl into a bath, preferably with Alec joining, but at this point he wouldn't be too picky. He made his way up the steps into the building too exhausted to simply portal, mentally appreciating the fact Alec normally had to walk everywhere without magic. Magnus made it to the door but before he could open it he noticed the note stuck to the door.

Why I love you:

1. You are the first thought to my day and the last before bed.

2. You know everything about everything

3. the best smile in the mornings

4. Your hair looks like a haystack in the mornings

5. You know how I like my coffee

6. You make me feel happy without even trying

7. Your laugh

8. great taste in music

9. Take me on trips I'd never dream of

10. The way you say my name.

Magnus felt a huge smile spread across his lips as he read the note, and instantly remembered the challenge of the 10 reasons. He felt bad for forgetting, but unlike Alec, he KNEW 10 reasons easily. Still, he was rather pleased that Alec had been cute enough to write a note.

He opened the door and lost his breath upon what he found inside.

Sticky notes. Hundreds of sticky notes covered his home as he flickered on the lights to reveal the rainbow of adhesive papers on every surface.

He reached for the closest one that lay in the bowl Magnus and Alec kept their keys in.

11. The feeling I get when you come home.

He took more steps and reached the mirror in the hall finding 2 more notes

12. You look beautiful without much effort

13. Eyes that make my heart miss a beat

He went further into the home picking random notes on his way.

37. the laugh you have when you find something hilarious

119. the way you whisper when you are upset

69. the fact you don't have a belly button

He cut the corner into the kitchen, more notes stuck to the fridge.

233. the way you say cinnamon

357: we both like vanilla ice cream with cookies crumbles

The study

431: the way you take on clients

638: the candles you buy always smell nice

933: you enjoy turning in your chair like a bond villain

The notes continued through the home as Magnus felt the tears building in his eyes. He noticed some didn't have reasons, but doodles. He spotted some with just hearts. Some with a landmark of where they'd been, others said names of cities and places they loved. He could only imagine how much  Alec had done to put all the notes up, picturing him running around in circles to make sure notes where placed somewhere they made sense. He went to the veranda the last place of rooms to venture into and looked through the window. Alec was sitting on the fire escape looking out to new York, a smile on his face, proud of his work. In his hands, he had one more sticky note as he scribbled on it in determination

Magnus flung the doors open and made his way to him, practically jumping into his arms as he felt the tears stream down his cheeks.

"oh Alexander. Thank you. I can't believe you'd do this for me."

"Of course I did. You asked me to give you reasons, and I did, but lets be honest. 10 was a bit unrealistic. I couldn't possibly express how much with just ten. Hope you don't mind, I went overboard."

"no! I don't mind at all! I love it! How many did you do?" Magnus asked

"A lot" Alec answered playfully. "this is the last one though. I ran out of sticky notes"

Alec look at Magnus in love and gently placed the final note on his forehead ensuring it stuck on properly by placing a small kiss on the paper that now rested below his hair line.

Magnus laughed and pulled it down and read the words. Fresh tears flowing again as he embraced Alec once more. They stayed like that until the sun finally started to set on their day.

1000. The way you give me a 1000 ways to love you, and the knowing that tomorrow I will love you more than I love you today.
