So I'm sitting here unable to fall asleep and what else hits me than an idea to write the idea that's been nagging me for a while now? This is from my story Bits and Pieces, a collection of prompts.

Dedicated to: Taste the Rainbow- Or Else Because if I hadn't remember a conversation in which I'm almost positive I told you I'd write this, this probably would have taken much much longer to write. :)

Chapter One: An Ordinary Day Gone Un-Ordinary

099. Water

Alec remembered the time Magnus accidentally fell in the water, he'd had a panic attack and Alec had had to jump in, afterwards, holding him tightly in his arms and whispering soothing words as monsters from his boyfriend's past came back to haunt him.

The day was a normal one like any other, the city's sky the same bleak blue/gray that it always was, several white clouds tinted with gray flitting across the sky as the sun beamed weakly down on them. The cars and people were all the same, whizzing by and in a hurry for their destination. Involved in their own worlds and exchanging crude words if they were delayed. Yes. All in all it was a normal ordinary day in the city. …Or it would be if Magnus Bane, High Warlock of Brooklyn and boyfriend of Alexander Lightwood infamous Shadowhunter and fondly deemed 'the most beautiful man on earth' –courtesy of Magnus of course- wasn't involved.

Alec gazed at his boyfriend in bemusement, leaning against the wall lazily as the Warlock flitted around the room, muttering to himself.

"…Can't forget the sunscreen, Alec will burn…"

"Oh! Maybe I should... But wait, what about…?"

"Yes! We're going to need that…"

"Hmmm. Yes. That should work..."

"Magnus?" Alec began, hesitant to bring his boyfriend out of his inner musings.

"Yes, love?" Magnus replied distractedly, placing things into a normal looking beach bag. Or well, Alec supposed it had once been normal. The lime green now plastered with sparkles and jewels that winked the name 'Magnus Bane' back at him. The bag had to be magically enhanced from all of the things the Shadowhunter had seen his Warlock stuff into it in the past half hour.

"What are you doing?"

"Packing, love!" Magnus paused, gazing at his boyfriend as he cocked a hip, lips pursing. "Isn't it obvious?"

"Well yes." Alec answered, eyeing the bag. "But what for?"

The Warlock grinned. "Well my dear Shadowhunter, we are going on a trip!"

"A trip?" Alec asked almost fearfully. The last time they'd gone on a 'trip' they'd ended up stranded in a jungle with no food or water to be seen. And worst of all Magnus had been too drained to portal them away. The poor Shadowhunter had feared he'd have to fight off angry tigers.

"Yes. A trip. You see Alexander, it's come to my attention that not only have you not been to a beach, but you've never been to a boardwalk either." Magnus threw him a look of mock horror before continuing on. "So! I'm going to fix that."

Alec opened him mouth as if to argue before snapping it shut in defeat. When the Warlock looked so god damn happy and pleased with himself like that the Shadowhunter just couldn't find it in himself to say no. No matter the cost to himself.

"…Make sure you pack lots of sunscreen."

Magnus grinned. "Already done."

And that is how an ordinary day turned into a not-so-ordinary one. All courtesy of Magnus Bane.

There's more dearies don't worry. :)

So! You want more? Review and you shall get it.
