"Finally home!" Magnus cried in a mocking way as Alec pushed the door open, entering the loft, grinning at Magnus.

"I did tell you it was going to be a long day," Alec sighed, removing his coat and shoes before placing them in their respective places.

"Well your long day is now over," Magnus said happily, "Come over and join me."

"I will," Alec promised, "Just going to get changed."

"Would you like some help?" Magnus questioned with a wink.

"I mean," Alec drawled, "I don't mind."

Magnus grinned before clmabering of the sofa, linking his hands with Alec's.

"Let's go, Shadowhunter," Magnus exclaimed, dragging Alec to the bedroom. After a considerably long period, and in which Alec did more than get changed, Magnus and Alec came into the sitting room again, Alec plopping down on the sofa as Magnus danced off to the kitchen.

"Alexander!" Magnus called from the kitchen, "Is a vegetable curry okay for you? Or I can magic something else up."

"Curry sounds good!" Alec called back, "You made it?"

"I did," Magnus answered, coming in with a plate on his hands. He handed it to Alec, who took it gratefully before gesturing for Magnus to sit down. Magnus obeyed.

"I ate before you," Magnus added sheepishly, "Hope you don't mind."

"Wow, I'm so mad at you, Magnus," Alec rolled his eyes, "Of course I don't mind."

"How sweet of you, my darling," Magnus smiled, kissing Alec's cheek.

Alec smiled, switched on the TV and started eating the curry, wonderously drizzled on some rice and munched on it, his last proper meal being six hours ago.

"You need to stop coming home so late, Alexander," Magnus suggested.

"When you got with a Shadowhunter, you should've know to expect late hours," Alec said back, his mouthful.

"Sweetheart," Magnus sighed, "Surely you know not to talk with your mouthful. The amount of times you've said that to Jace and Izzy."

"Well," Alec stumbled, not coming up with a decent response.

"But, anyway, going back to my initial point," Magnus started, "I don't mind if you work late hours, but you're exhausted, darling. You need to take some time for yourself. You're working yourself too much, my dear."

Alec looked at Magnus, with something close to awe in his eyes, awe at how much Magnus cared for him; after years of being pushed to work and more and more, it seemed somehow magical that someone wanted him to take a break.

"I'll take tomorrow off then," Alec mumbled and the smile that he got from Magnus would be worth any work he'd have to catch up on.

"Really?!"

"Really," Alec promised and Magnus kissed Alec's cheek again.

"Thank you, sweetheart."

"Thank you for looking after me," Alec retorted.

"Of course, darling angel," Magnus smiled, "We're staying in bed all day tomorrow."

"Sounds fine to me."

After Alec finished his curry, in about five minutes, Magnus insisted on clearing away the plates and then insisted that he give Alec a massage after Alec said he may have a slight headache.

"Lie down right now," Magnus threatened, "Or I swear that I will put glitter in your hair whilst you sleep."

That seemed to do it for Alec, so he lied down, head on Magnus' lap and Magnus' fingers wound their way into Alec's hair, gently tugging at times and slowly massaging. Alec sighed in contempt and closed his eyes as Magnus satrted cooed at him.

"Honesty, darling," Magnus was saying, "You need to take better care of yourself. Your pretty self is getting over-worked, sweetheart."

Alec didn't say anything, knowing that Magnus was just talking to him in a sweet voice to soothe him (it was working incredibly well) and using cute petnames to help Alec relax and it always worked. But the things was, anytime Magnus used these names a lot, Alec started getting worried, and he knew that it couldn't carry on, so he sat up. Magnus looked worried.

"Are you okay, angel?" Magnus inquired.

"I - yes," Alec stuttered, "It's just - just, do you - do I disappoint you? B - because I never call you any special nickames like you always do. Are y - you using so many in the hope I'd call you back at least one?"

Magnus' face softened noticeably and he linked hands with Alec, who was looking down, anywhere but at Magnus.

"Do you want me to be honest, Alexander?"

Alec gave a small nod.

"It doesn't bother me," Magnus said, "I call you these nicknames because it just comes to me, Alexander and not because I expect anything from you. You've given me more love than I could ever deserve and a small thing as a nickname isn't going to ruin anything. But if you'd like to call me anything, I don't mind and if you want me to stop calling you something, that's fine as well. But, Alexander, that small thing couldn't bother me about us and it could never have me disappointed in you."

"It doesn't make a difference what you call me, Magnus," Alec whispered, "Nothing will change how I feel about you."

"You just said it, Alexander," said Magnus, "That won't change how I feel about you, or how you feel about me or how we feel about each other. I promise. Besides, there's no name that could compare to the way my name sounds coming from you."

And then Alec was kissing him with so much love and affection that it broke Magnus' heart.

When they pulled away, Magnus rested his forehead on Alec's and said, "If you don't feel comfortable doing something in this relationship, however small that may be, you don't do it, okay? You tell me and figure it out. Together."

Alec nodded and then added, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't know what you'd like or how often I should use the names..."

"Alec," Magnus sighed, "Call me whatever you like whenever you want. There's no right or wrong about it. You don't need to get so tense about it, I promise."

Alec smiled and muttered, "Thank you, love."

Magnus grinned, "I like the sound of that, honey."

Alec blushed and captured Magnus' lips in a sweet kiss, both tumbling back into the sofa and beginning their night.
