<------------------------------------------------------->
Alec had just gotten back from a mission that was supposed to be easy but more demons than registered from when they were at the institute had been there. The fact that they weren’t prepared for that many demons to show up in such a short amount of time Alec, Izzy, Jace and Clary had struggled to complete the mission without getting bitten. Luckily no one did get bitten, instead they had ended up getting a few scratches.
And all Alec wanted to do now that he had gotten back to the institute to put away his bow and arrows was to go to a special downworlder’s place. So he made his way towards the front door of the institute and was about to walk outside when he heard someone behind him that made him turn around.
“Alec, where are you going?” it was Jace, he had used his healing rune to heal the scratches he had gained from the mission.
“I’m going to Magnus’” Alec responded and as he said that Jace saw that Alec hadn’t used his healing rune yet so he opened his mouth to comment on it but the words got caught in his throat because Alec beat him to talking by starting to make his way towards the doors again while saying “I have to go now, I’ll talk to you later when I get back”.
And with that Alec was finally on his way to Magnus’ place with rather light steps of joy that he would get to spend at least some amount of time with his boyfriend after a day like this.
It only took a few minutes for Alec to get to the front door. He took a deep breath just before raising his hand to knock on the door and just a few seconds after he heard footsteps coming from the other end of the door and then the door opened and there he was.
Magnus gave Alec a sweet and loving smile as he opened the door further to let him in and then closed the door behind him as they both moved towards each other and shared a short but loving kiss, both of them feeling like their lovers lips were as soft as cotton. When both of them pulled away from the kiss they were smiling at each other as if they were falling in love all over again.
Magnus loved to see the pure love and adoration in Alec’s eyes when he looked at him, it made him feel special. “To what do I owe the pleasure of your company tonight?” Magnus asked in his usual sarcastic tone but it had an undeniable amount of love in his voice as he stared into his shadowhunter’s eyes.
“I missed you and wanted to just be able to have dinner together” Alec said while softly smiling towards the downworlder before him. Magnus lightly chuckled and said “I’d love to” and they shared another but longer kiss. Magnus’ hand finding it’s way to Alec’s cheek which he allowed himself to melt into it as Alec’s hands wrapped around his boyfriend’s back.
When they pulled away Magnus asked “What are you feeling like eating today?” and Alec responded with “Pasta?”. Magnus nodded as a response and snapped his finger making two plates of a beautiful pasta dish appear on a table he made appear with it.
After they were almost done with eating their dinner Alec rolled his sleeves up a little bit, forgetting about the scratches still there from the mission. “How did today’s mission go?” Magnus asked. “It went on for a bit longer than expected because more demons had appeared than what we saw when we were at the institute” Alec answered honestly. But when Magnus was about to look back down at his food to see if he had eaten up or if he still had some of that delicious meal left on his plate, he saw a few scratches left on Alec and his entire body stopped what it was doing and instead reached forward towards his hand.
“When did this happen- Who scratched you Alexander?” Magnus asked with a hint of worry in his voice, even if for a mundane scratches were almost nothing most of the time but in the Shadow World it could mean anything and it hurt for Magnus to see his shadowhunter being hurt and he didn’t understand why he hadn’t activated his healing rune yet.
“Oh, uh during the battle we couldn’t manage all of them at times so we ended up getting scratched a few times, nothing too serious actually-” Alec said but got cut off from finishing his sentence by Magnus saying “Are you sure? I mean you did fight demons and yes you might not have been bitten but you still got hurt Alexander”.
There was a few seconds of silence before Magnus asked another question “Do you happen to have your stele with you?”. They were looking in each other's eyes and Alec’s response was simple “Yes, I have it with me” and then Magnus inquired with “Would it be okay if I could..hold it for a few seconds?”. “Sure” Alec responded as he handed his stele to his warlock.
As Magnus got handed the stele he started to walk around the table, making his way to Alec and he pulled his shirt up to gain access to his healing rune and activated it making the scars go away and when Magnus saw the scratches disappear he relaxed and kissed Alec’s temple. Alec smiled and grabbed Magnus’ hand and walked to the couch and before sitting down he turned towards Magnus and opened his mouth up to ask a question and Magnus, as always, gave Alec his full attention. “Do you want to cuddle?” was the question that had escaped Alec’s mouth. “Yes” Magnus answered.
Alec layed down on the couch firstly and then Magnus laid down, both of them nuzzling up together while getting comfortable and taking in each other's warmth. They laid there quietly for a few minutes, just enjoying laying there with the person they love in their arms while the stars were high up in the sky. Neither of them could phantom how lucky and happy they felt to have one another.
“I love you Magnus” Alec said so softly that it almost came out as a half whisper. “I love you too Alexander” Magnus said as he smiled.
A few hours later they both awoke from the sunlight filling the room with light. It seemed like they had both fallen asleep on the couch while cuddling which none of them had a problem with, they just smiled at each other with their morning groggy view. “Goodmorning” Magnus said lightly with pure adoration written across his face. Alec chuckled lightly and responded with the same lightness in his voice, his eyes also matched the amount of love and adoration that radiated off of Magnus when he said “Heh, good morning to you too”.
