I woke up to the movement of Alexander. I look around me and remembered I was at the Institute.

"Morning" I whispered

"Morning." Alexander whispered kissing me

He unwrapped himself from me getting ready for the day. I soon followed, summoning my essentials and clothes. Without, realizing, Alexander brought me food.

"Thank you." I told him

He smiled his adorable smile, before finishing up. As we finished getting ready, we noticed Magnus waking up.

"Did you sleep okay?" Alexander asked him

"Like a rock. Oh... fresh squeezed orange juice... and the full glass." Magnus said grabbing from his tray

"One of the perks of living at the Institute. But come on, get out of bed. Breakfast stops serving at 9am. Stella already has her food, we need to get food for ourselves." Alexander told him

"Alexander, I appreciate the hospitality, but doesn't the Clave have rules against Downworlders living here?" Magnus asked

"Oh, they're not... rules, they're suggestions. What? You're not living at the Institute. Neither are you, Stella. You're just... visiting for an extended period of time." Alexander told us

"And what would your fellow Shadowhunters think of warlocks wandering the halls?" I asked.

"They'd be fine with it. Let's go." He told us.

We waited as Magnus got dressed, before heading to the cafeteria. We entered the room with our trays, to see people looking at us.

"You know it's not too late to go out for breakfast, right?" Magnus asked.

"And miss pancake day? No way." Alexander said walking away.

"You sure are excited, Alec." Jace said.

"Why wouldn't I be. I get to show off my two beautiful mates." He told him.

I looked at Magnus. "We got this. We have dealt with these looks before." I told him

"Your right, my star." He told me as we followed Alexander to the table.

"Hey." I heard Jace say.

"Hey." my Alexander replied.

"Magnus, Stella, what are you doing here?" Jace asked us.

"Uh, where do we start? We just moved out of our apartment, but unfortunately my real estate agent died a few hundred years ago, so... finding a new place has been a bit of a struggle. " Magnus told him.

They could just live with me, but my place is pretty far from here, considering it's not in Brooklyn.

"In the meantime, him and Stella are gonna be staying with us for a little while." Alexander told them.

"That's great." Clary said.

"Yeah, absolutely." Jace said afterwards.

"Welcome to the Institute, Stella, Magnus." Isabelle welcomed us.

"Glad to be here." Magnus said.

"Thank you." I said at the same time as him.

I started eating from my tray, watching everyone look at Magnus and I.

Ignore them I said through our mind connection.

He nodded his head. He looked at his plate before snapping his fingers for a better breakfast. I watched as he felt pain. I released my magic through my fingertips underneath the table, easing the pain, knowing that is all I can do for him. I keep my magic around him as we ate our breakfast.
