Blue Sparks and Bow and Quiver. (A Series of Malec Oneshots)

hold my hand when i get scared now. (au) (2/3)

As he descended down the stairs, his eyes flickered down to where Magnus was, who was seated on their couch. He was happily talking to Jace and Max, making Alec smile from where he was.

"You're such a lucky boy," Isabelle muttered because she was suddenly beside him, then playfully bumped her shoulder on his (but she was too small). "Let's go, Alec."

"You're coming with us?" Alec looked at his sister incredulously, wanting some privacy already.

Isabelle rolled her eyes then. "Duh. Of course not. I know that you two needs some time and privacy. I'm just telling you to speed up your movements because you wouldn't want your... friend waiting."

He decided not to talk then because he knew that he would just start stuttering and stuffs. Instead, he walked over the living room then pressed a kiss on Max' forehead, then patted Jace on the shoulder. "Good morning!"

"It's 2 pm, Alec," Max spoke with an eye roll, something that probably ran in the family, "but that's not something new. You sleep late nowadays."

Alec hummed before he took a seat next to Magnus — giving him a warm hug that made his insides melt. "I just needed to do some stuffs."

"I wonder what you mean about 'stuffs'." Isabelle walked over them and kissed Jace and Max' foreheads, then to Alec and Magnus. "Anyway, I'm leaving. I have some 'stuffs' to do, too."

Alec just shrugged his shoulders. "Be safe, and don't come home too late, Isabelle."

"You too." She threw them a wink before leaving.

He released a small sigh before turning his attention to Magnus who was watching him the whole time. "How did you sleep?"

"Oh, I slept wonderful," Magnus sighed out dreamily, "thank you. So much."

Alec wanted to lean in and kiss Magnus because he felt like it was the best thing to do in that situation, but at the same time, he didn't because he was scared that Magnus would be mad at him. He wouldn't handle the rejection.

So, instead, he just stared at him, wondering what he did to deserve Magnus, because he still couldn't believe that he had this friendship with him.

That was, until, Jace cleared his throat.

Right. He was there. Alec averted his eyes and looked down, face flushed.

"Max, let's make some sandwich, I'm starving," Jace told Max and the boy immediately jumped, walking over Jace to wrap his hands over Jace's, practically dragging his brother.

Oh, remind him to thank Jace. And Max. He always did anyway.

Magnus placed a hand on Alec's shoulder, turning the male to him. "Where do you want to go?"

He wanted to say that he could go anywhere, really, as long as Magnus was with him and that was what mattered. "Anywhere, really. I mean, I haven't really eaten anything because I mostly just woke up..."

Magnus grinned, reaching out to pinch Alec's cheek. "Come on, I'll take you to McDonalds. I know you're a sucker for fries. My treat."

And really, Alec wouldn't say no to that.
