This is my first TMI story so I hope it is good.

Alec rolled over in his sleep to find empty space. He groggily rubbed his eyes and sat up. Where was Magnus? He swung his legs out from under the covers and padded down the hall. He first checked in Rafe's and Max's rooms. Both boys were sound asleep. He smiled at his sleeping sons and closed the door. Alec walked down the hallway in into the apartment's large living room. Magnus was sitting on the purple couch holding a mug of what seemed to be hot chocolate in one hand, and in the other he was holding a book.

"Magnus" Alec said, alerting Magnus to his presence.

"Oh, hello, Alec" Magnus said as he looked over his shoulder.

Alec walked around the couch and took a seat next to Magnus, tucking his feet under the quilt covering Magnus's lap.

"Why are you up?" the shadowhunter asked his boyfriend.

"I couldn't sleep, so I came out here to read, I did not want to wake you up." Magnus said, placing his book on the table. Alec saw that it was The Tale of Two Cities.

"Nightmares?" Alec asked, knowing his boyfriend was constantly plagued by nightmares.

Magnus nodded." I'll come back to bed soon, get some sleep, Alexander."

Alec leaned over and kissed Magnus, quickly, before sliding off the couch and padding back to their bedroom.

Sorry it is so short I promise the next one will be longer.
