"I'll see you soon, Alexander. I won't be longer than a few days, a week at most. Keep safe." Magnus smiled, hugging Alec as he stood in front of a shimmering, pulsing portal to somewhere near Peru.

Magnus had a client to deal with from Peru, but he was sadly banned from going there for whatever reason, so was meeting the client somewhere else outside of Peru. The deal Magnus made with him was important, and the ritual Magnus was having to perform would take a while to take effect, which was why Magnus was staying over there to keep his eye on what was happening.

Alec wasn't happy with this. He wanted a free week with Magnus. Alec had his week off now and the new shadowhunters in training were going on missions. The only reason Alec was happy right now was because he was staying at his boyfriend's, and it felt more like home than the institute did. Yeah sure Isabelle and Jace and Clary and everyone else were over there but the loft just made Alec feel all fuzzy and warm and soft. Because of Magnus.

"I mean it, biscuit. Stay safe. The wards are up, if you let someone in then the wards will let them through. There's everything you need wherever you look. Call me if something's wrong. Call me anyway. Okay?" Magnus smiled, still hugging Alec tightly, rubbing his back.

"I'll stay safe, Mags. I promise." Alec smiled, pulling from the hug.

"I love you, Alexander. I really do." Magnus leaned in and kissed Alec, running a hand just underneath his boyfriends jumper. The shadowhunter smiled, and bit on Magnus' bottom lip, pulling away at a painfully slow rate. Magnus sighed when Alec had let go of his lip. "You do anything else like that and I'll be forced to stay. I have to go, Alexander." The warlock smiled and pecked Alec's cheek before picking his bag up and stepping through the portal, leaving a sad Alec stood there in his jumper and pyjama bottoms.

He picked up Chairman Meow who was rubbing his head against his ankle. "It's just us now, Chairman." He sighed, rubbing the belly of the cat. Alec walked to the sofa and slouched down onto it, turning the TV on. He wasn't really bothered with mundane shows and films, but on the occasion he liked one he'd get Magnus to get him it on disk so he could watch it again.

After three hours he got bored, and stood up. Chairman had left him on the sofa a while ago, so he was alone as he basically dragged himself to the kitchen. He opened a cupboard and grabbed a spoon and the nearest jar of some random thing he saw. Nutella. Apparently it was delicious and people could use it as a topping or simply eat it from the jar, although eating it on its own wasn't perceived as healthy.

He twisted the lid off and threw it somewhere, peeling the foil back and sticking the spoon into the gooey chocolate. He awkwardly licked at the spoon for a minute or two, not understanding the flavour of the texture at the time. He couldn't really taste it well when the burn of the red wine Magnus had drank still lingered on his tongue from when they kissed.

When Alec had actually ate some of the spread he was surprised. He didn't expect it to taste that delicious. He lifted spoonful after spoonful to his mouth repeatedly till his mouth was dry and he couldn't swallow without tasting hazelnut. The merlot still lingered as well, like Magnus had enchanted his drink to last for hours. To be honest he probably did.

Alec regretfully had ate the full jar in an hour and a half, throwing the spoon in the sink and the jar in the bin with its lid. Chairman was still gone, and Alec was bored, and wanted to either sleep or hug Magnus. Or both.

He dug through his bag that was at the side of the sofa and pulled his phone out, treading to Magnus' and his shared bedroom. He pulled his shirt off and kept his jogging bottoms on. He flopped down on the bed, half tired, half missing Magnus. He debated for a good half an hour before clicking Magnus' name on his contact list. The dial tone dissipated just as it started, and Alec got giddy as he heard Magnus talk.
