Magnus gasped, startling awake, head whipping around, power flaring, lashing out at the threat on instinct, bolt of power surging forward...

And completely obliterating the chiming alarm clock on his bedside table.

Ah damnit...Again?

That was the third time this week.

Man...how long is it gonna take him to adjust to this? 6am really was an ungodly early time. Why the hell did the rest of the world insist on starting so damn early?

He groaned, sleepily rubbing his eyes, absentmindedly flickering his other hand towards the smoking pile of clock components, the obnoxious little device reconfiguring back into it original, obnoxious, way too damn loud form. Maybe he needed to change it to something less jarring. He thought about it a couple times, tried a few other sounds or just with music but he very nearly slept through those.

That was absolutely unacceptable.

The blaring, buzzing, thoroughly obnoxious sound may be annoying as hell but at least it worked. IT might not be the most pleasant way to start the day but if anything it did ensure he was awake for the actual one.

Magnus sighed, stretching languidly, yawning, straightening his covers a bit, fluffing up the pillows behind him. He reached up, running his fingers through his shimmering raven black hair, magic sparking and flickering about his hand, smoothing the tangled mess into a sexy, messy bedhead type look rather than the birds nest in a windstorm style he was currently sporting. He stretched again, shifting onto his side, adjusting the covers around him strategically, settling them around his waist leaving a clear view of his bare chest and arms, comfortably settling in. Satisfactorily situated he reached forward, adjusting the phone holder on his nightstand, moving it to the right angle, centering himself in the frame before flicking through the contacts.

He couldn't help a bit of a happy, near giddy smile at the little flip in his stomach when he landed on the adorably surprised picture of Alec. He loved that picture- the one he'd taken the first day Alec had come to his office. He loved it, Alec hated it- thought he looked like a startled deer –

Which...well...okay valid...but he looked like a completely adorable startled deer. Anytime he told him that he'd scoff and roll his eyes and- much to Magnus's delight- blush clear up to his ears.

God, how could anyone manage to be both that gorgeous and that adorable at the same time? It should not be possible...and yet it was.

He gave a soft, verging on dreamy sigh, lingering on the photo a moment longer before shifting his hand down, clicking the button for skype. It rung for a moment, the picture blurry and wonky before connecting, image shifting and clearing, revealing a tangled mess of soft black hair, a slow, sleepy smile and the most beautiful hazely-green eyes he has ever seen.

"Hmm...mornin' Mags." Alec mumbled around a faint yawn.

There went that little flip in his stomach again.

Alec shifted more onto his side, rubbing sleepily at his eyes, reaching forwards with his free hand, adjusting the phone a bit in its own holder. His hand pulled away from the screen, moving up, running through the deliciously chaotic black hair, pushing it back, shifting down, propping his cheek on his hand. He sighed faintly, blinking a couple more times before those pretty, hazely eyes focused back on the screen, shifting over Magnus. Alec froze, eyes widening slightly. He swallowed, eyes flickering over him a bit slower, lingering on his neck, arms and bare shoulders, a brilliant, enticing flush brightening his cheeks, the smile picking up a tic at the corner.
