Alec loved mornings. More specifically, he loved mornings with Magnus. He loved the slow drag of fingers against his sides as his boyfriend pulled him that slight bit closer, golden sunlight spilling through the curtains. When Alec would pull the sheets up between them in the night Magnus would push them down and hug Alec closer, limbs tangled together, so there was no space between them.

On that particular morning he was lounging on the bed, laid on his back, hair messy, breaths warm, skin soft. Magnus was in the living room reading, and Alec couldn't be bothered to get up and walk to him, even though there was nothing he wanted more than to just cuddle with him. He lazily blinked, a ray of sunlight hitting his eyes harshly. He recoiled and rolled over, his joints aching from the mission he'd been on the night before. He'd gotten home and was looked after by Magnus, they'd showered together, ate together, and fell asleep together on the rug in the living room. The sofa was too small for two grown men to sleep together on, they didn't want to move, and Alec either clung to Magnus in bed or starfished and Magnus was knocked off as a result. The warlock must've carried Alec into bed.

Alec's phone rang, and he reached to the bedside table to grab at it. It was Isabelle. God, it was nine am, and Alec wanted to sleep and spend time with Magnus.

Magnus sat on the kitchen counter, sipping a mug of steaming coffee when he heard Alec groan and his phone ring. He chuckled. He'd never get used to Alec's morning voice, or his exasperation when he got called out early. He sipped at the hot liquid in his cup, and hopped off the side, his bare feet padding along the wooden floors to his and Alec's bedroom. He walked in to see Alec, basking in the morning sunlight, phone in hand, eye rolling and running a hand through his jet black hair. And was that a sight to behold. Inky black runes spilling all over his torso and arms, a dusting of chest hair. Magnus would never get used to this, to Alec looking this good in a morning.

He stood in the doorway holding his mug, watching as Alec talked, he didn't even notice him. "Mm.. Izzy can't you and Jace just go?" He groaned in that gruff, warm voice that was thick with sleep, the voice that made Magnus go all fuzzy. Magnus held in a laugh as he heard Isabelle in the background sigh, agree, and hang up. Magnus made his way to Alec, and sat down. Alec felt the bed dip and looked up. He hadn't noticed Magnus coming in, he was too focused on talking to Isabelle and trying not to sound so sleepy on the phone.

Alec pulled himself up, and sat cross legged next to Magnus, who handed him the still steaming cup of coffee. He grunted, a 'thank you' without talking, and drank a good amount of the liquid. Magnus watched him, and smiled when he gave the cup back. "Morning." Was all he said, and Alec fell back and rolled onto his stomach, pressing his face into the ruffled bedsheets. "Don't remind me it's morning.." Alec hummed, and Magnus sighed happily at the sound of Alec's sleep hazy voice, thanking whatever gods or deities that existed that the coffee hadn't gotten rid of it. Magnus set the cup down on the bedside table, where Alec's phone had been, and laid down himself next to Alec.

"Alexander.." Magnus put a ringed hand in Alec's hair, and massaged his head slightly. Alec groaned and turned on his side to look at Magnus, blinking slowly in an attempt to stay awake. "I'm guessing the coffee didn't help.." Magnus smiled, and leant in to kiss Alec's forehead. Alec sat up when Magnus did, and stood when he stood, following him like a puppy into the kitchen.

"You're very sleepy, my dear." Magnus taunted, flipping on the coffee machine and placing a cup underneath the dispenser. Alec groaned and took Magnus into his arms from behind, hugging him as closely as possible. "I'm tired, Magnus.. Yes." He mumbled into the shoulder of Magnus' silk shirt, and pressed a kiss to his boyfriends neck. Magnus chuckled, and Alec could feel the vibrations from his chest as they hugged. "You're such a clingy baby." Magnus smiled, grabbing the cup that had filled with coffee and turning to face Alec, who's eyelids were drooping with fatigue.
