8.00 in the morning. The Lightwood-Bane house.
It was a sunday morning, the house was silent and the Lightwood-Bane family was at sleep. Although shadowhunters do not have breaks, today the demon hunting was low and Alec decided to take the day off. After all, the institute was full of trained shadowhunters who decided to live there after the events of the war. Now the institute, lead by Clary and Jace, was not empty anymore and fulfill a purpose. A purpose that let Alexander Gideon Lightwood stay in bed with his husband, Magnus Bane.
Alec was sleeping heavily on top of Magnus. His face hided between Magnus’ neck and collarbone. Their legs were tangle comfortably while Magnus arm was on Alec’s hips, his thumb making small circle into the naked space between Alec’s shirt and sweatpants. Magnus was awake and enjoying the moment while looking at the ceiling with tired eyes. He usually does not wake up early but for some reason he couldn’t go back to sleep.
Since Magnus didn’t want to wake up his husband, he started to hum his favorite song. After a couple of minutes, he felt the smaller man moving on top of him. Magnus tried to suppress his laugh since he felt Alec’s breath on his neck. It tickled. Alec murmured something incoherent, sign he was waking up. Magnus smiled and increased the pace of his thumb’s movement.
-Alexander, as much as I want to see you sleep, your breath tickles.
Alec opened his eyes, showing the blue eyes that Magnus loves so much. He smiled sleepy.
-M’ning -Alec murmured. Magnus removed his hand that was holding Alec’s hips to move a strand of black hair from Alec’s face and kissed his head lovely.
-Morning love, did you have good sleep? -Alec nodded slowly, holding Magnus tightly- I can tell by how you almost crushed my body and I am sure that the wet spot on my collarbone is not the result of the activities from last night.
-I didn’t…- Alec blushed suddenly and made a gesture of cleaning his face with his hand to clean whatever trace of drivel he had.
Magnus chuckled and Alec glared at him-I was just joking, darling. But you need to admit sometimes you do it, which I find endearing.
Alec just murmured something incoherent and decided to go back to sleep. He gave his back to Magnus. Magnus moved closer with a cheeky smile, ready to hug Alec from behind, who responded with a grunt.
-Sassy lightwood…-Magnus sighed. Deciding to not annoy further the grumpy man, he prepared himself to get out of bed and make breakfast. At this point the kids might wake up in any….
The sound of plate breaking suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
-I didn’t do anything! Why do you always blame me?!
Magnus closed his eyes and counted to three. Now what was happening? Too early in the morning. He looked back and saw Alec sleeping still. At least the scream did not wake him up. Magnus got up ready to see the storm. As he got closer to the kitchen, he heard the quarrel getting louder.
A snap, blue sparks and suddenly the kids couldn’t talk anymore. They both looked confused and with cold sweat looked at the man standing at the door. Magnus was looking at them with an eyebrow up and arms crossed.
-What is going on? -Magnus asked with authority and both kids lower their heads, looking at the pieces of broken plate on the floor. Magnus follow their gaze-Oh my, isn’t that dad’s favorite ornament?
Rafael and Max looked at each other with shame, not able to respond.
Magnus flicked his finger and suddenly the plate was back to how it was-like new. I am sure this was not the only reason for the little storm you two had in the kitchen- He looked at the disorder- May I know what are you two doing?
Rafael and Max got quite, neither of them wanting to talk. Magnus wait for a minute, changing his gaze constantly with one another. When he noticed that nobody was saying anything, he decided to get the information from the youngest of the two.
-My blueberry, something you want to tell your papa? -Rafael looked at his brother with a warning look but the kid couldn’t content himself.
-We were trying to surprise you and dad with breakfast, papa! -He said with an adorable voice and Rafael palmed his face at the situation.
-Well, it is not longer a surprise, is it? -Rafael said with a sulk.
Magnus hummed in understanding and smile at both of them- That is a good gesture, but the noise might wake up your dad and he needs his sleep. It is not often he is able to spend time at home.I can help a little, if that is okay with you Rafe.
Rafael looked at his papa with a smile and nodded. Magnus snapped his fingers and suddenly the kitchen was clean. He snapped his finger again and both Rafael and max were wearing an apron.
-Well, let’s surprise dad!-Both kids cheered in agreement.
Alec heard a knocked in his room (well, Magnus and Alec’s room). He moved around, too comfortable to wake up. The knocked got louder, and then he remembers he was the father of two kids and there is no good rest involved in this job. He sat up straight in the bed and with a really sleepy voice commanded whoever was outside to come in.
The door opened and two little kids came in, excited and running to hug their dad. Alec smiled widely while the boys start crawling to the bed for the little family reunion. He hugged them both and kissed their head with love.
-Hi boys, what are we all excited about? -He asked with a smile and suddenly Magnus enter the room with breakfast on a tray-oh, what do we have here?
-The kids decide to make breakfast for their favorite dad -Magnus said with a playful smile that got even wider when he heard the complains of the kids at his statement.
-That is not true! We tried to surprise both but Max wake up Papa!-Rafael said quickly and Max pouted.
-It was an accident! -He said and Alec grabbed Max by the hips and hugged him tightly, making him laugh.
-Shh…it is fine; I am sure you surprised papa too…
-Oh I was surprised, the kitchen was a mess-the Lightwood-Bane family laughed at Magnus comment, who walked towards his husband, put the tray on his legs and kissed the top of his head-Let’s eat sweetheart.
The family sat around Alec, each grabbing a little bit of the food. Alec looked around with a smile. It was these little moments that he enjoyed the most, when his family was together.
-Thank you, kids-said Alec looking at Magnus with a smile. Magnus smiled back.
