When Magnus and Alec finally realized that they could not live without each other (and Cassandra Clare realized that if Malec did not get back together someone would murder her) because of their undying love for each other. They understood and loved each other like no one else ever would.
Alec had moved in with Magnus shortly after they had gotten back together a couple of months ago. On a night while Magnus and Alec were quietly watching "Devil Wears Prada", a movie Alec hates because he finds it so stereotypical for gays to be watching it. But it was one of Magnus's favorites so he put up with watching it whenever Magnus's heart desired, which was around once a week. But that night they realized something was very, very wrong.
Chairman Meow, Magnus's normally energetic. lovable, happy cat, was lying on his leopard print scratching post on his back. Him lying on his back was not the odd part, in fact it was his favorite sleeping position, what was odd was what happened next. Magnus called Chairman Meow over to watch the movie with them. Normally Chairman would come over and curl up in between them and growl every time Alec would try to move him, away to be closer to Magnus. But this time he did not come running over, he rolled over so his back faced Magnus and Alec. Magnus loves Chairman Meow so much you would think that he had given birth to him, so anything little thing that he does affects Magnus.
Magnus picked up the remote and paused the movie, which they were only around 20 minutes into. Magnus got up and walked straight over to his cat's scratching post concern all over his face. All though Alec loved any excuse to stop watching Devil Wears Prada, he did not like the look on his boyfriend's face. Magnus gave Chairman Meow a couple pats, which he did not react to. "What do you think is wrong with him?" asked Magnus. Alec just shrugged, "Maybe it's his 'time of the month.'" At this Magnus only glared. To Alec Chairman Meows behavior was nothing out of the ordinary, Chairman Meow seemed to have been acting this way since a couple weeks after he had moved in. Alec hadn't thought much about Chairman's behavior change, but it was clear that Magnus did. Magnus must have not noticed. Alec couldn't really blame him, it seem as if everybody was in need of a warlock these days.
"Should we take him to the vet?"
"Magnus, he only didn't want to come sit with us, that doesn't mean he's dying. Do you always react so badly when you get rejected?"
"But he's never done this before! He's always been my little baby!
"He's been like this for a while now,"
"He has?! Why haven't I noticed...."
"Well you've been really busy lately, don't blame yourself."
"He's probably lonely," at this Magnus picks up Chairman and starts to rock him back and forth while holding him like a baby, "My poor baby!"
"I don't think smothering him will help, Magnus."
"Oh! I know what we should do! We should get him a friend!"
"You mean like another cat?"
Magnus began to twirl around, still holding Chairman Meow, and said joyfully, "Of course! We should go look tomorrow!"
Alec loved Magnus with all his heart, but he didn't always have the best ideas. Alec didn't know how well this would turn out, Chairman seemed more like a solo cat. But he'll have to wait until tomorrow to see how everything turns out.
