The Wonders of Malec

Chapter 7

Alec turned towards his family giving them a small wave and smile.

"Hey guys." he said casually. Jace and Isabelle saw past his facade while their mother just waved off his behavior and walked inside.

"Don't hey guys us, what was that?" Isabelle asked. Alec slumped his shoulders and let out a long sigh.

"Lets get inside." he said, ushering them towards the door. They all walked inside. Alec went straight to his old room, knowing that Izzy and Jace were right behind him. When he got there, he opened the door and looked around the vacant room. It was still the same, but it didn't feel like his room that much anymore.

He plopped, head first, on his bed. They both walked in, Isabelle sitting at the end of the bed and Jace leaning on one of the bed posts, waiting for Alec's explanation. Isabelle tapped the wood impatiently. Alec finally turned over and he began to explain the complicated situation that was his father son relationship.

A few hours later, around 2:00 pm, Alec was finally back home. When he got into the apartment he fell on the couch dramatically. He heard a chuckle from behind him. When he turned around he saw his lovely warlock boyfriend.

"Hey." Magnus said, coming to sit down next to Alec. Alec smiled and sat up so Magnus could join him on the couch. When he finally did sit down, Alec put his head in Magnus' lap.

"I love you. So much." Alec whispered. In return Magnus smiled and ran his hand through Alec's hair.

"I love you too darling. More than you could ever imagine." he said. They laid there for a while, in perfect, comfortable silence.

"Baby?" Magnus asked.

"Huh?" Alec mumbled. Magnus took in a long breath, he could tell that Alec was tired and the conversation Magnus wanted to have was too serious for him to be half awake.

"Could you scooch over a little, I'm too tired to walk to the bedroom." Magnus said. In truth he wasn't tired at all, but he didn't mind snuggling up to Alec while he slept.

"Sure." Alec mumbled, and moved over a little to make more room for Magnus. Magnus moved down the couch and snapped his fingers, making a blue blanket appear on top of them. Alec snuggled into Magnus and within minutes, he was sound asleep.

Hours Later

When Alec started to wake up he realized that he was in his bed. I wonder how that happened, he thought. He looked over to the night table and saw that it was already 7:00 pm. He looked towards Magnus.

God he loved this man. He thanked Raziel everyday for the man next to him. Alec thought of all the times he had snuck around and hid his relationship with Magnus. He never realized how much it hurt him till Magnus told him that he loved him. He never even apologized.

"You're staring." Magnus stated, his eyes still closed.

Alec smiled, "I'm not staring. I'm admiring." Magnus opened his eyes and draped his arm over Alec's hip, pulling him in.

"No, you were staring. Which is very creepy, but why wouldn't you stare? I am beautiful by the way." Magnus joked. Alec laughed and Magnus soon joined him. When their laughed ceased they just lay there again, looking at each other.

"In the mood for a late breakfast? I have a craving for pancakes." Alec said.

Magnus chuckled, "Lead the way." They both got up and walked towards the kitchen. Magnus opened the refrigerator.

"So we have milk, eggs, and sausage. And..." Magnus walked towards the cabinet, "...we have flour in here so we can make pancakes." Alec chuckled and walked towards the sink, grabbing the cat food from under it.

"You always forget to feed Chairman. One day he's going to be so desperate for food that he'll eat all of your glitter." Alec said, receiving a gasp from Magnus.

"He would never! Isn't that right Chairman? You would never eat daddy's precious glitter." Chairman Meow only meowed as a response, scurrying over to his bowl that Alec had just filled with catnip.

"See, he wouldn't eat my glitter." Alec walked towards Magnus, who was stirring the pancake mix.

"He didn't say that. In fact, he didn't say anything. He can't talk." Alec stated.

Magnus just smiled and continued stirring. Alec came up behind Magnus and wrapped his arms around Magnus' torso, kissing his back. Magnus continued to stir. When they had finally made their breakfast of eggs, pancakes, and sausage, they sat at the table and ate in a comfortable silence. That is, until Alec's phone rang.

He picked it up, "Hello?" Magnus looked up, he could hear murmuring on the other end.

"It's really late Iz, is this important?" More murmuring. After about thirty seconds Alec jumped out of his chair and ran towards the bedroom. Magnus got up, worry the only thing running through his veins.

When Alec finally reemerged from their bedroom he was no longer on the phone but dressed in his gear, putting arrows on his back and a few blades in his weapons belt.

"What is it?" Magnus asked, hoping that it wasn't anything bad. Alec looked at him, worry and fear sketched all over his face.

"A few shadowhunters have been taken from Alicante. We have to go find and retrieve them." Alec said in a rush.

Magnus could tell that there was more to the story, "What aren't you telling me Alexander?" Alec walked towards the door, grabbed the knob, and turned towards Magnus.

"They have my dad Mags. Someone took my dad."
