Chapter 2

!W! Mention of strong language and visuals.

**********************************

Alec was lying on the couch on his boyfriend's lap, shirt untucked, hair messed up, half of their clothes lying around as Magnus combed his hair from his fingers in a soothing manner.

He closed his eyes and leaned into the touch, the rings on Magnus' fingers clanked every time he ran it through his hair.

"I love you..." He mumbled while gazing in the distance of their living room.

"I know darling, I love myself too."

With a slight lean, Alec looked into Magnus' chocolate brown eyes and deadpanned. "Dare ruin the mood again and I'll lock you inside the 'black hole' for 24 hours after taking all your favorite stuff out of there."

[Black hole- similar to red room of pain in 50 shades of grey]

"Darling, you wouldn't."

"Try me." Alec challenged.

"Sorry, sorry." Magnus apologized, knowing well that if that man decides something, he never backs off and he doesn't want to be there alone, it's no fun. "You know I love you, Alexander, do I really need to say it?"

"Yes! Now keep pampering me."

Magnus shook his head, leaned down, and pecked Alec's temple. "My adorable panda!"

Alec groaned at the use of that nickname. "Magnus! How many times do I have to-" He was cut off when the doorbell rang and both men glanced towards the door. "Don't stand, just use the intercom and tell them to use the eye scanner."

"Darling, you know I don't like these new technological innovations."

Sighing, he stood up and grabbed his jacket from the floor while Magnus went to open the door. A second later, Jace, Izzy, Clary, and Simon walked in, having a twinkle in their eyes as they looked all around the apartment but their jaw dropped when they noticed the condition Alec was in.

"What in the world, big brother!? Magnus? Did you both..." Izzy trailed off and glanced between her brother and Magnus, her eyes wide and cheeks getting redder.

"What!? As if you four weren't in this condition half an hour ago!" He rolled his eyes and handled Magnus his coat.

All eyes turned towards Jace and Clary who were blushing furiously while Izzy and Simon glared daggers at them.

"Dude..." Jace started, "look, I'm sorry about... calling like that. I kinda forgot to call beforehand so..." He trailed off and looked at his brother apologetically.

Alec sighed and slowly nodded. "It's okay. But for god sake Jace, never call me in between sex ever again! I can't unhear...." He trailed off and scrunched his face. "Felt like I was hearing a les porn!" He mumbled but it was clearly audible.

Magnus burst into laughter while Clary and Jace's face became the darkest shade of red.

Simon cleared his throat, the uncomfortableness getting under his skin. "Um, so... what's the surprise?"

Alec and Magnus exchanged a look then indicated them to walk towards their dining area. On the table, there was a silver candelabra with beautiful rose-scented candles on it, a champagne bottle with six champagne glasses, a mixed cuisine of Italian and Indonesian, and six ink pens with rough-textured paper kept in front of their respective chairs.

"Oh my god! Our 'Burn the evil eye' tradition. What's going on big brother?" Izzy questioned as she ran her fingers over the rough texture of the paper that was made from incense powder.
