Hello hello! Since it's that time of year, I thought I'd write a Christmas fanfiction for all you guys! This idea came last year but buy the time I started writing, it was past Christmas so I VOWED I'd post it this year! I hope you all enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Chapter 1

The shopping center was crowded with much hustling and bustling of shoppers picking up last minute gifts for family and friends. Among the crowd was Alexander Lightwood dressed in jeans, a black winter coat, blue beanie and a green scarf his boyfriend Magnus Bane, bought him last year. His gloved hands were clenched into a fist and shoved in the pockets of his coat trying to keep warm. He'd been walking for hours trying to find gifts for his family but nothing caught his attention or they were too expensive.

"Alec!" A familiar voice beamed from behind. Alec turned to find Magnus, dressed in red skinny jeans, green converse and beige overcoat. He was wearing a green and red scarf that had little bells at the end and jangled each time he moved. His hair was up into a hundred little spikes but the snow had dampened the ends causing it them to curve slightly. However, it was the bundle of bags in Magnus' hands that caught Alec's attention.

"What, are you throwing a party or something?" Alec joked.

"I am," Magnus said seriously. Alec cleared his throat. "Anyway, what are you doing here?"

"Just looking around, nothing really." Alec shrugged.

"Are you coming over tonight?" Magnus asked. Alec winced unsure if it was a good idea to go over when Magnus in this state. He wasn't overly fond in helping with the Christmas decorations.

"Uh, Jace and I were going out tonight and b-besides, we're not into all this Christmas stuff." The warlock narrowed his eyes, not believing his lie.

"Well I am and you're MY boyfriend!" Magnus snapped. Alec sighed, he couldn't argue with the warlock, even if he wanted to.

"Fine, what do you want me to do?" Magnus looked up in thought.

"How about you come over tomorrow morning." Alec tilted his head to the side.

"What for?"

"It's a surprise, just come over at eight okay." Alec thought about it. Whatever he was planning would most likely beat helping decorate Magnus' condo, since he was very particular at where things went. Also, it was their first christmas together and Alec could see how important it was to Magnus so he agreed.

"Alright, I can do that." He said finally and the warlock beamed.

"Yes! I love you!" And he leaned down and kissed Alec openly in public and the shadowhunter turn bright red. "See you darling!" And before Alec could get out a word, Magnus was gone, shuffling into the crowd of people.

A cold yet welcoming breeze snuck around the young Shadowhunter causing him to shiver in his heavy navy blue winter coat. A sheet of snow had already blanketed the pavement outside the condo that Alec Lightwood stood in front patiently waiting for his boyfriend. A wreath that hung decoratively on the front door jangled and Alec turned to find Magnus emerge from within wearing a dark green coat, skinny jeans and a red scarf with white pompoms at the end wrapped around his neck.

"Hey," Magnus smiled, a cloud of smoke forming around mouth as he spoke. "Were you waiting long?" Magnus asked noticing Alec's bright red nose where the cold had bitten it.

"It's okay," Alec said. Magnus cupped the base if Alec's chin and kissed him deeply instantly bringing warmth to his lips and throughout his whole body. When Magnus pulled back the boy made a face and shyly turned away his cheeks burning redder than his nose.

"Better?" Magnus smirked.

"Y-you didn't have to do that, I was fine," Alec said and Magnus chuckled.

"I wanted to." Alec mumbled under his breath that sounded like let's go and walking ahead. The warlock sigh aloud and watched fondly as his boyfriend shove his hands his pocket and ducked his head, trying to bury his neck into the collar of his jacket to keep the cold out. It was a shame Alec was demure about their relationship but Magnus would never cease to love him. When the Shadowhunter turned, Magnus saw how the white around him seemed to bring out the blue in his eyes.

"Are you coming?" Magnus nodded and joined his partner, linking their arms together but not without getting a groan of protest from the boy.

"Where are we going anyway?" Alec asked as they strode down the sidewalk to Magnus's car that he claimed to have borrowed for the evening.

"It's a surprise." Magnus winked. Alec shook his head but couldn't hold back the smile that played in the corner of his lips. After a block down they stopped in front of a silver Lexus sports car.

"Nice care," He said.

"Thanks" Magnus winked walking over to the driver's side.

Magnus drove them out of the city and to the rustic side of New York where the snow was much thicker and higher.

"Where are we going?" Alec asked again.

"You'll see." Magnus said. A pause.

"Magnus, you know I don't really like surprises, can't you just tell me?"

"No you party pooper, just sit quiet and be patient." Alec drummed his fingers on the dashboard impatiently.

"Look, how about a hint-"

"Shush! Their playing Christmas music!" Magnus cut in, turning up the radio. After a few minutes of silence Alec gave into the fact and Magnus wasn't going to talk had rest his elbow on the windowsill. He watched as the distance between each country house expand until there was none left.

He wondered what Jace and Isabelle were planning to do today, although it wasn't too much of a guess. Jace would probably find a way to be with Clary, and she would probably invite Simon and where there was Simon, there was Isabelle who pretends that she's not interested in him but actually is. Alec couldn't help but smile. At least the group was finding themselves, each one having someone to support each other when in time of need.

Although he wasn't too fond of Simon and his deep thirst for blood due to his vampiric change, Isabelle seemed to be comfortable around him and Alec was glad she could lean on him for support. And Jace had Clary, whom Alec had despised at first sight but then realized that she could get to him the way Alec couldn't. Jace opened up to her and he trusts her wholeheartedly, so if he was happy, then Alec could learn to accept that. Then there was Magnus, who became Alec's foundation and shoulder to lean on, who cared for him in such a way Alec would never quite understand and who loved him unconditionally. Never in Alec's wildest dream did he imagine anyone falling in love with him, let alone an eight hundred year old warlock. Over the course of their relationship, Alec's learned to not question it and accept it as it is. Magnus loved him and Alec shared the same passion and desire.

An hour had passed and Alec could no longer suppress his anxious curiosity.

"Okay enough! Magnus, where are we going?"

"The evergreen forest up there." Magnus said pointing to the right side where the evergreens stood tall on a hill.

"We're getting a tree? Couldn't you just, I don't know, snap one?" Magnus gave Alec a slid glance of annoyance.

"Theoretically, yes, I could have. But I chose not to because I wanted to spend a nice long evening with you. Surprise!" Magnus cheered. Though heavy trips outside of the city slightly bothered Alec, he was filled with awe that Magnus would dedicate an entire day to them.

"Then I'm looking for the biggest tree." Alec finally said. Magnus beamed like a Christmas light and took Alec's hand in his.

"That's the spirit!" Alec rolled his eyes and laughed.
