Alec never expected a life like *this* for himself.

The pulse had shifted the entirety of the world's functionalities, but that was not something that ever effected Alec. He didn't know what all was taken from the people, since from the beginning, any sense of normalcy was taken from *him.* Everything was a new experience. Everything was a blind shot in the dark, hoping he got it right.

By the time Alec met you, he'd settled well into his best attempt at a normal life. He had a job, he had a place to stay, and now, he had someone pretty that actually seemed to care about him and genuinely mean it. So many times had Alec been duped into believing the people around him cared about his wellbeing, but with you, he'd never been so certain of someone's intentions.

Your love was easy and blossoming. Every day introduced him to another way to love you more; something he hadn't even deemed possible. Even years of being together hadn't seemed to calm the roaring honeymoon phase between the two of you, at least on his end.

Like now, while he brushes his teeth in the comfort of your shared living space, watching as you settle yourself onto the bathroom countertop, legs swinging. His large palm falls on your knee, thumb tracing light circles over your kneecap. Alec pulls the toothbrush from his mouth to use it in gesture. "M'not kissin' on you if y'got bad breath, sweet thing," he pokes, expression pinching up in an attempt at a stern look, "so y'better brush up."

The fingers he has curled around your knee gently tickle at the exposed skin in further teasing, his smile widening at the sound of your burst of laughter. Alec would never get sick of that sound. Hell, he'd never get sick of *anything* about you.

He spits the mouthful of toothpaste into the sink, before he swoops in and kisses all over the side of your face with his still foamy mouth, scruff brushing along your skin. Anything to hear more of your lilting laughter. God, he couldn't wait to grow old with you.
