MALEC ONESHOTS!

Too Much

A/N: This is a prompt I found on my Tumblr that's based on the TV show which I'm absolutely infatuated with. So, above is some TV show Malec fanart and Where Do We Go From Here by Ruelle, the original Malec song. Please leave a comment with a request of a ship, any ship is done, and a plot line. I also do realise it's a wait and short but it's a story.

Alec knew he shouldn't. He was almost certain he shouldn't. But he did. Jace needed him. Magnus needed him. He arrived at Magnus's apartment at just the right time. Magnus was about to collapse. Alec, in a panic, darted forward and caught Magnus who looked up at him, bleary-eyed. "Help me." he murmured. "I need your strength."

After a short pause of silent debate, Alec held his hand up to Magnus. "Take what you need." he said. With a small smile, Magnus curled his fingers around Alec's hand. After a small moment where their eyes met and a loving glance, Alec hoisted Magnus up so he could continue his magic.

Alec felt his own strength draining, fast. Jace wasn't going to make it in time. They held onto each other for a while until Alec couldn't keep his eyes open. "Stay awake." he heard a breathless Magnus command him. He could feel himself slipping out of consciousness. "Alexander." Magnus breathed. "I'm going to let go now."

"No. You can't!" Alec protested.

"I have to."

Alec felt Magnus's slender fingers start to unravel themselves. Alec held on tighter. "Alexander. I'll drain you."

"So drain me! Jace will be here!"

"Let go, Alexander."

"No!" Alec blatantly refused. With a forced sigh, Magnus yanked his hand away, forcing Alec to fall back. Magnus immediately busied his hand with more magic. Alec watched on in horror as Magnus's magic started fading away. At that moment, Jace burst through the door. He froze upon seeing Alec. "MOVE!" Alec screamed with as much energy he could muster.

Jace, shocked by Alec's tone of voice, jumped into action, handing Clary the ingredients to finish the potion. Looking back at Magnus, he could see pain etched into the Warlock's face and the blue glow was basically non-existent.

Clary appeared at gave Luke the potion he required at the exact moment Magnus's hands stopped glowing and the Warlock slumped sideways into Alec. Alec, taking one last fleeting glance at Luke who had opened his eyes and was talking with a beaming Clary, switched his gaze down to Magnus.

Magnus's eyes were closed and his breathing was regulated. Alec gently tapped his cheek but got no response. "Magnus. Hey. Wake up. Come on." he tried to no avail.

"Alec. Take him to his bedroom. He needs rest." Jace told

"I can't wake him!" Alec cried.

"Alec, it's alright. He wore himself out completely. His magic stores are pretty much gone."

"So he's basically comatosed himself." Alec mumbled.

"Yes. Bedroom, Alec. Stay with him." Jace ordered. Alec forced himself to his feet and somehow lifted to Warlock that was all arms and legs into his arms. He carefully carried him into his bedroom and closed the door with his foot. Alec could barely stay awake himself from his drained energy.

He eased the Warlock into his bed and, seeing how inviting the bed looked, stripped himself on his shirt and slid into the bed beside Magnus, falling asleep almost instantly.

*~+~*

It had been half an hour since Alec had entered Magnus's room and hadn't returned so, he decided to check if his Parabatai was alright. He silently pushed the door open and just about could see Alec curled up in the bed beside Magnus, Alec's arm draped across Magnus's chest and Magnus's arm cradling the back of Alec's head.

With a small smile, Jace left the room, leaving the two sleeping men.

*~+~*

The next morning, when Alec awoke, he was lying on top of something warm, comfortable and breathing. He was too tired to jump away so, instead, looked up to try and see a face and above him, was Magnus Bane himself.

Alec started to pull himself away but was stopped by Magnus tensing up his arm to prevent the weakened Alec from moving any further. "Don't go." the Warlock whispered hoarsely.

"I won't go anywhere." the Shadowhunter replied, nestling his head back into Magnus's shoulder. Magnus's hand weaved back into Alec's hair and Alec allowed himself to fall back asleep.

*~+~*

When Alec woke up again, he was still in Magnus's bed but the said Magnus was nowhere to be seen. So, naturally, Alec stood up and went in search of him. He found him in the kitchen, making a cup of what Alec presumed was tea.

"You're awake." Magnus stated, hearing rather than seeing Alec.

"Mmm." Alec grunted in response, grabbing a towel and wetting it and heading back into the sitting room. He'd spotted the blood that luke had left on the couch on his way through so he started cleaning it up. Magnus strode past him to the small table that was placed in the corner by the window. He poured two drinks and turned his head quickly to Alec before having a double take and smirking.

"You know I have magic for that, right?" he asked.

"I think you've exerted yourself enough for one day." Alec pointed out, continuing to scrub. There was a small sigh and Magnus turned to him. Alec glanced up to see Magnus holding out a drink for him.

"Drink break?"
