Birthdays

"Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Alec, happy birthday to you!"

Alec felt himself blush as his family and friends thrust a cake, with 18 burning candles on it, at him.

"What are you waiting for? Blow out the candles!" Isabelle exclaimed.

Alec blushed again and blew out the candles. Celebrations like this always embarassed him. He hated being the center of attention.

It was Isabelle, of course, who planned the party. She thought he could use the social experience. He thought she talked to much. Of course just to torture him, she had to invite everybody they knew. Everybody.

His mom and dad were there, obviously, monitoring the party and making sure the downworlders were keeping themselves in check. They were currently sitting on a purple couch and seemed to be immersed in conversation, while Max, who was sitting beside his mom an the couch, was looking utterly bored. Isabelle was flirting with some vampire Alec had never met (He had a feeling Isabelle hadn't either) and Jace, Clary and Simon were over in a corner, arguing. Typical.

Alec signed. He started to wander over to them, prepared to break up the fight, preferably before Jace and Simon killed each other, when a tiny cat raced across the floor. Chairman Meow. Of course, Alec had forgotten that Magnus Bane was letting them use him home for the party. Magnus himself had retired to his bedroom several hours ago which had surprised and disapointed Alec.

With a sudden burst of determination, Alec climbed the stairs and raced into Magnus's bedroom.

It was empty.

Alec signed in disapointment and was about to leave when a hand touched his shoulder.

Startled, Alec whipped around to see Magnus, his cat like eyes glittering with amusement and something that looked a lot like arousal.

Alec blushed for the millionth time that night.

" I was wondering when you would visit me, darling" Magnus purred, cupping Alec's cheeks with his hands.

"Well....I....um....." Alec stumbled on his words which caused Magnus to laugh and Alec to blush. Again.

"Just relax, honey, I won't do anything you don't want me to do" Magnus said gently.

" What do you mean?" Alec asked, getting more nervous by the second.

Magnus smiled slightly. "I want to male love to you, Alec. Here. Now. But only if you want to."

"You want to make love to me?" Alec whispered "Nobody's ever...I mean..."

Alec looked at Magnus, blue eyes glowing. "You really love me"

"Yes"

"I love you to"

"I know"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hours later they lay sprawled across Magnus's bed, clothes carelessy thrown across the room.

Alec yawned and Magnus chuckled kissing Alec's nose.

" That was amazing" Alec whispered.

"It was" Magnus smiled.

"I love you"

"I love you to. Good night now, and don't let the vampires bite"

"Your so weird"

"Yes, but I am not kidding about those vampires!"
