As Magnus stepped out of the portal and Into his living room, he was greeted by the sight of Alec curled up on his couch, sipping on a cup of tea.
"Magnus!" He smiled and in one smooth movement he stood up and put the cup on the table. Alec walked up to Magnus and put a hand on his neck, his palm warm and soft against Magnus' skin. "I've missed you." Alec said as he leaned in and placed a soft kiss on Magnus' lips.
"Missed you too." Magnus hummed in response. All the stress and tension building up during the day melting away in Alec's presence, as always. "How was your day?" Magnus asked as they moved towards the couch, dropping down on it, side by side. Magnus was turned to look at Alec, their hands entwined in Magnus' lap.
"Oh, you know. The usual." Alec let go of one of Magnus' hands, gesturing with it as he spoke. "Killing demons, keeping Jace from getting in trouble, writing reports for the clave. All boring shadowhunter stuff."
"Hm. More like Head of the Institute stuff." Magnus pointed out, smiling. He liked reminding Alec of his position, not only because Magnus was proud of him, but because it made Alec smile and his eyes glitter.
"So, how was the high warlock of Brooklyn's day?" Alec smiled that beautiful half-smile and raised one eyebrow. He looked so cute when he did that Magnus thought.
"Oh, you know. Fixing peoples mistakes, making potions, checking on wards and for a change, I actually had a new costumer today." Alec nodded, eyes fixed on Magnus, waiting for him to keep talking. "Some athlete thought I was a heeler and hired me for massage. Most of it I did with magic of course, but these hands can do more than enough on their own." Magnus wiggled his fingers of his free hand as he spoke.
"Oh." Alec said, his smile dropped for a second, before returing, though this time it was more of a grin. "You know, my shoulders are a bit tense from all the .. shadowhunting.. you know, killing demons." Alec said while rubbing his neck.
"Is that so?" Magnus said, rasing his eyebrow at Alec.
"Yeah. It's hard work keeping the world safe you know." Alec continued without acknowledging Magnus' raised eyebrow and was still rubbing his neck.
"Oh, I bet it is." Magnus stroked Alec's cheek, let go of Alec's other hand and stood up. "I suggest a hot bath." He added before pretending to walk away.
"Magnus!" Alec whined behind him. Magnus stopped and smiled before turning around.
"Yes darling?" Magnus said as he walked around the couch so he stood behind Alec. He put his hands on Alec's shoulder, gently rubbing them. "Is anything wrong?"
"No." Alec hummed, moving forward and pulling at Magnus' arms. Without effort Magnus swong a leg over the couch and sat down behind Alec, their bodies pressed close togheter. Alec leaned back against Magnus, his breathing slow and his body melting into Magnus.
"Do you feel better?" Magnus whispered in Alec's ear as his hands continued down Alec's back, working over Alec's muscles.
"Mmhm." Alec hummed and turned his head, catching Magnus' lips with his own for a lazy kiss. "But I might still need that bath." Alec whispered against Magnus' lips.
"You know, I thought you had runes for this." Magnus teased. "If I didn't know any better I'd think you were flirting with me Alexander."
"Oh, shut up. Just come take a bath with me." Alec laughed and he was now standing in front of the couch with his hand reaching out for Magnus.
"So you do have runes for this?!" Magnus gasped in fake chock. "Have you been using me Alexander?" Magnus put a hand over his heart as if in pain. "How could you?"
"I'll make it up to you if you take a bath with me." Alec smiled. "I could return the favor, but naked in a bathtub." Alec winked at Magnus, his cheeks a light shade of pink. Even though they've been together for awhile now, Alec could still get adorably blushy. Magnus snapped his fingers before taking Alec's hand and standing up.
"Why, you should've just said that to begin with." Magnus smiled, moving closer, stealing a quick kiss before they started walking toward the bathroom hand in hand. In there the bath was ready, waiting for them.
"Having such a magical boyfriend comes with a lot of perks." Alec smiled when he saw the bathtub. Alec threw off his shirt before grabbing Magnus by the waist, pulling him in for a deep kiss.
Together the two men relaxed in the warm bath, talking about their days, in each others embrace. Another perk of having a magical boyfriend was that the water never turned cold so you could stay there for hours.
