It was everything and more!!!
Bringing this over from the episode thread, my Malec fangirling
Alec going to see Magnus as soon as he got the fire message was lovely and listening to his advice about putting his life first for a change and them finally going on their first proper date!
Malec's first date was adorably awkward and sweet as a first date should be, they had to find things to talk about get to know each other more on a personal level. The pool game was cute and Magnus having to clarify that Alec has never been in a relationship. I can totally relate to Alec in this situation as I have recently had to go through telling my new boyfriend that I never have been either. Magnus reacted well considering he was shocked and was honest with Alec when he asked how many he had been with. Alec's facial expressions changed so much in seconds from happy relief to here 17 then realisation that it was more then utter shock when he new it was 17K!
It was a lot for both of them to process and their walk home gave them time to think. I love that Magnus with all his experience is letting Alec take the lead with how their relationship is going. By giving Alec that chance to think, Alec stopped knew what he wanted and went for it saying they don't care about each others past they want a future together, Alec once again instigated the kiss and I love that it was moving and amazing
Relationships do take effort and they are both willing to put that effort in
