"Alec." Maryse says when he walks into the ops center. "Why don't you have a shirt on?"
"Well."
"Did you lose the lockdown challenge again?"
"No, actually jace and clary did."
"Then why aren't you wearing a shirt?"
"I had to give magnus some incentive to win." When she looks at him, still confused, he continues. "It was a couples challenge, the first couple that touched, lost. I told magnus that of we won then I would go shirtless until the lockdown ends."
Maryse sighs and says, "ok but magnus has to show some restraint and not be all over you all the time."
Alec laughs and says, "I'll tell him but I'm not promising anything."

"Has your mother said how much longer the lockdown is going to last?" Magnus asks from where he is laying on alec's bed, watching the young shadowhunter get ready for bed.
"No."
"Hum."
"Why? You getting tired of being here with me all the time?"Alec asks with a fake pout.
"Of course not."
"Then why did you ask?"
"I'm tired of all the people here checking out your abs, those are mine to drool over."
"You do drool over them."
"So does everyone else."
"I can always start wearing my shirt."
"No need for that." He says, pulling alec closer. "I will just have to mark my territory." He says, kissing down alecs chest, leaving a trail of bruises.
