COMPLETED - Malec: A Love Like No Other

A Dose of Love

A/N So the next few one-shots will be my ideas rather than taken from memes and pictures. I hope you enjoy this one. All characters belong to Cassandra Clare.

Alec coughed, and then sneezed. He really was having a really bad time. But he couldn't do much about it when there was so many reports that needed looking at. Reluctantly, after sneezing again, Alec looked at the demon report from Izzy. They had fought off an Ibis demon last night and Izzy had been put in charge of writing the report. She hadn't done a bad job. After looking through it, and then adding some data to his laptop, Alec stood up. He immediately regretted it.

A wave of dizziness came over him and he fell back in his chair. And then the need to vomit took hold, driving Alec into the bathroom. Bending over the toilet bowl, Alec puked, coughed from the bitter taste and wished for rest. That probably won't happen. It was eight at night, Alec had already gone through two dozen reports, but still had around four dozen to get through. He estimated that it'd probably be midnight when he finished. 

Alec was on a different report, a younger Shadowhunter's practice report, when a Portal opened and Magnus strided into Alec's office. Alec immediately let out a breath of relief. "Hello, Shadowhunter, too busy to come home and treat your boyfriend to a lavishing night?" Magnus teased. Alec went red and then sneezed very loudly. "I take back on the lavishing night," Magnus stated and when Alec sneezed a few more times, Magnus walked over, magicked himself a chair and sat next to his boyfriend. 

"Are you okay, Alexander?" Magnus asked, concerned. "Yeah, I'm good," Alec lied. Magnus spotted the lie as soon as he cupped Alec's cheek. The Shadowhunter was burning hot. Not just good looking but his temperature was too high. In his best listen-to-me-or-else voice, Magnus said, "We are going home now." Alec started protesting. Magnus cut him off with a kiss. 

"You've got a fever, Alexander, let's go home," Magnus said kindly. "I've got some reports that need looking at," Alec explained. "Jace and Izzy can do that, you're coming home. Right. Now," Magnus commanded and magicked up a piece of paper. On it he wrote: Alexander Lightwood isn't very well. I'm taking him home. Jace and Izzy can look at the reports. Lot's of love (not really), The High Warlock of Brooklyn. Magnus then turned to Alec. "Sorted," he said and then grasped Alec's elbow, created a Portal and dragged his boyfriend through it.

The Portal travel did not do Alec any good. He went straight to the toilet and retched. Over and over again. Magnus came in and knelt beside Alec. "Go, Magnus," Alec said, "I'm okay, I'll be there soon." Magnus shook his head. "I'm not going anywhere, sweetheart," Magnus cooed, and placed a hand on Alec's back as the Shadowhunter bent and more sick came out. "Magnus, you don't need to see this, it's just an ugly mess," Alec protested. Magnus started rubbing soothing circles on his boyfriends' back. "Shush, Alexander, I'm not leaving you," Magnus said and when Alec had finally finished retching, he fell back against Magnus.

"Oh, Alexander, what happened?" Magnus asked, sitting on the toilet floor with Alec leaning against him. "I don't know, I feel awful," Alec complained. Magnus chuckled. "Well you have got a fever and you've just been vomiting for the last ten minutes, so of course you feel awful," Magnus said and then stood up. He then helped Alec up and the pair went to the bedroom. Magnus helped Alec settle in and made sure that the comforter was pulled up tightly around him.

"Come in with me," Alec said. Magnus wanted to, but he did need to get some food into Alexander. "I'll just get some food for you," Magnus said and watched as Alec shivered. "No please, I'm cold, please come here," Alec pleaded and Magnus could not say no to that. He slipped inside the array of blankets and held one of Alec's hand. He channeled his magic through to Alec and watched the Shadowhunter warm up a tiny bit. Alec moaned and moved closer to Magnus. "Magnus, I feel so tired," he said and threw a leg over Magnus' torso. "Aw, baby," Magnus cooed, "Go to sleep." Magnus brushed away Alec's hair and watched as Alec slowly fell asleep, mumbling incoherent words.

The Next Day

Alec woke with a dizzying pain in his head but he did feel better than yesterday. He also noticed Magnus looking at him and realised that his pillow was wet along with Magnus' T-shirt. "Oh by the Angel, I'm sorry, Magnus," Alec said and Magnus loooked at him quizzically. "What exactly are you sorry for?" the warlock asked. Alec made a gesture the pillow and then to Magnus' clothes. Magnus looked himself up and down and then smiled, cupping Alec's cheek. He was cooler than yesterday. "Are you actually apologising for having a fever and therefore sweating?" Magnus inquired. Alec nodded sheepishly. "Selfless, stupid, sexy Shadowhunter," Magnus murmured, pecking Alec on the lips. "Let's get you some food, Alexander."

Alec was slumped against a chair whilst Magnus made some eggs and bacon. "Thanks for looking after me," Alec said, barely audible. Magnus froze. Nobody, none of his past lovers, had even thought to thank Magnus if he helped them in any way or even if he bought them the most expensive things. His Alexander was thanking him for simply lying down next to him and making him breakfast. Magnus couldn't help forgetting about the eggs and pulling Alec towards him, kissing him, hard and long. 

"I'll always look after you, sweetie," Magnus smiled. "Magnus," Alec muttered, "the eggs are burnt, I think." Magnus cursed. "You're so distracting," Magnus complained to Alec but he was smiling. He clicked his fingers and a wide selection of breakfast items appeared on the table from all over the world. "Help yourself and screw my cooking," Magnus laughed and started eating a croissant. Alec opted for scrambled eggs. 

Alec knew that even if he was feeling terrible, Magnus would be there for him and he knew that Magnus' love would get him through anything. Alec leaned over the table, and kissed Magnus. When the warlock pulled Alec onto his own chair, Alec didn't complain, only kissed his boyfriend harder, showing him how thankful he was for every moment with Magnus.
