The worries that had been eating at him since the nightmare disappeared. None of those accusations or taunts mattered now that Sebastian was near and Alec was kissing him. This wasn't wrong. This wasn't selfish. Choosing to do what was thought of as 'right' would be cruel to them all.
He wasn't selfish to love someone else.
It wouldn't feel like this was where he was supposed to be if this was wrong. He would feel some hint of guilt or doubt but he felt as sure of this as he had when he'd kissed Magnus in front of the Clave. Instead it was warm and sweet as it slowly overwhelmed the doubts that had been wearing him down.
Burying his face against Sebastian's neck, Alec slipped his arms around his waist. For a moment he tensed, unsure of what his friend would ask before telling himself he was being foolish. Sebastian wouldn't ask for something Alec wouldn't be willing to give. "It's not too soon. What would you like?"
