Glitter

Okay, so to make up for the super sad one, here's one about Magnus losing his glitter.

The jacket was almost completed. All he needed was one last thing. He opened the drawer to his desk-

It wasn't there. He searched around his room, nothing. He searched his whole apartment. Nothing.

Alec opened up the apartment door to find a feverish Magnus. He was searching everywhere for something.

"Uh, Magnus, is everything ok?" Alec asked slightly worried.

Magnus straightened up looking at him directly in the eyes. "No. Everything is not ok and will not be ok until I find it." Alec looked confused. Magnus enlightened him. "MY GLITTER, ALEXANDER!! IT'S MISSING AND I AM DEVASTATED."

Alec tried but he couldn't suppress a laugh. Magnus glared at him. "What part of this is funny to you? One of my most prized possessions is missing and you laugh about it as if I just turned my head into a tomato!" Alec laughed a little harder with this new mental image and Magnus rolled his eyes.

When Alec had calmed down, he came up behind Magnus and wrapped his arms around the warlock's waist. "Ok, I'm sorry for laughing, but we can get you some new glitter, Magnus." Magnus turned around to face his shadowhunter. "How is it you don't understrand? Alec, that glitter was a gift from a dear friend. The glitter never runs out, sticks to whatever I see fit and changes to any color I want. It's irreplaceable glitter! I NEED to find it." Magnus exclaimed. He separated from his companion and continued the search. Alec sighed and let out a little chuckle at the thought of "irreplaceable glitter," and calmly joined the search.

When they both came up empty handed, Magnus let out a dramatic, exasperated groan and face planted onto the couch. "Where on this damn earth could it have gone?"

Alec kneeled down beside him and ran a hand through the warlock's spiky hair. "We'll find it, Magnus don't worry. I'm sure it'll turn up." Magnus turned his head to face him. Alec smiled. "Come on, let's go to bed."

Magnus went to sleep sad and glitterless that night.

In the morning, Alec shook Magnus awake. "Magnus, i think I know where your glitter is." The warlock's eyes shot open and he jumped out of bed. "Where?" He asked and Alec pointed to his desk.

"Seriously Alec, you think I didn't check there?" Alec shrugged and told him to check again. Just to humor him, Magnus sat down at his desk and opened the drawer. He looked inside, and-

There it was. His bottle of glitter a sparkly shade of pink. He looked closer though and saw something. He opened the bottle and pulled out a sparkly gold ring. He looked to Alec who was now on one knee beside him.

"Alexander," he whispered. Alec smiled up at Magnus and somehow, worked up the courage to say the words. "Magnus, will you marry me?" Magnus was shocked. It wasn't like Alec to make the first move but here he was, on one knee asking Magnus to spend the rest of Alec's short life together. Magnus fell to his knees in front of Alec. He wrapped his arms around Alec's neck and dug his head into Alec's shoulder. "Oh, Alexander." He muttered.

"So, is that a yes?" Alec asked. Magnus lifted his head up and smiled at the young shadowhunter. "Yes, i believe it is." Alec smiled and planted a kiss onto his mouth.

They were getting married. Maybe not today, or tomorrow. Maybe not anytime soon. But the promise was there. That someday, somewhere it would happen and until then, this was the best day of their lives.

Magnus held Alec there for a while and whispered in his ear, "I love you, Alexander, but if you ever hide my glitter from me again, I'll turn you into a coatrack." Alec chuckled and rested his head on Magnus's shoulder. All was well.

Okay, when I first thought old the idea of Magnus losing his glitter, i pictured this hilarious story where Chairman hacked it up. But as I wrote it the engagement idea came in and I had to.

Just to kind of let you know, my stories probably aren't going to connect so keep that in mind. With any of the next stories.

Hopefully the next ones will be longer but I'm not going to guarantee anything. I'm good at getting everything I need to say across quickly, that's why they're short but I'll work on it.
Thanks!
