Hey hello! This oneshot is supposed to explain an info that readers can obtain when reading 'What To Buy A Shadowhuter Who Has Everything' from The Bane Chronicles. It's kind of situated between City of Bones and City of Ashes. Enjoy and please tell me what you guys thought of it - be it bad or good. Also, if you have a suggestion for a oneshot, don't be shy.


Magnus was standing in his kitchen looking at the coffee maker. The big, expensive, futile coffee maker that he had just bought. What was he thinking? That a machine was the key to make Alec feel at home?

"What a waste of time and money" he sighted. Chairman Meow was staring at him as if he thought the same thing.

Alec was supposed to be there by now but he probably got caught up in some Shadowhunter mess. Or he just could not think of any excuse to the fact that he was going to be away for the whole afternoon. This thing in which he did not tell his parents about Magnus sometimes had its down points.

Magnus, however, did not care since he knew it was too soon for Alec to blabber about their situation to the Lightwoods. So he simply stood there, staring at the coffee maker, waiting for his Shadowhunter to arrive. While doing that, he was barefoot, wearing a pink shirt that said Sorry girls, I'm into boys now and tight black leather pants that displayed a subtle snake print; his hair was arranged so it would look casually messy. He looked… Fabulous.

Finally, he heard the doorknob turn. He always left his door unlocked so that Alec would not have to go through the whole intercom thing - it was one of the many things he did while trying to make Alec feel comfortable in his loft. He could hear Alec's light Shadowhunter steps as he walked to the kitchen.

"Magnus?" he called.

"In the kitchen!" Magnus answered with a pinch of musicality to his voice.

"I'm really sorry I'm late… Max needed help with some..." He began saying as he walked into the kitchen. But when he saw Magnus standing there in all his glory next to a clearly brand new coffee maker - clearly because it had a bow on top of it - holding Chairman Meow he stopped talking. Magnus' handsomeness never seized to astonish him. He blushed and looked down before continuing. "Some things for a task Jace gave him."

"Oh, that's quite alright." Magnus said smiling at him. "Look, I got you a gift!" he said with a dramatic gesture towards the gigantic coffee maker in the counter. Alec raised his eyebrows as though asking for more information, a little smile playing on his lips. "Here! The coffee maker!" Magnus cried pointing to it.

"Yes, I can see it. Thank you but, if you don't mind me asking, why would you do that?" Alec said smiling.

"Why, because you like to make coffee. And you don't like when I conjure coffee from coffee places." Magnus replied. He was getting too frustrated with Alec's resistance toward his present. Especially since the coffee maker was a symbol of how much Magnus wanted Alec there anytime of the day; but he could not tell the Shadowhunter that fearing that he would feel too pressured and freak out. "If you don't like it I can take it back." He added sounding a little hurt.

Alec stared at Magnus for only a second before rushing to him and surprising the warlock with a sweet and tender kiss. Magnus widened his eyes with surprise before kissing him back. Chairman Meow jumped from the warlock's arms when Alec brought himself closer. The kiss, that started off as just a tender thank-you-kiss, was now more intense. Alec held Magnus by his hips, touching delicately his bare skin while Magnus had his hands on Alec neck. Their breaths were starting to get irregular when Alec ended the kiss. He was smiling from ear to ear - a rare picture by itself - and gazing into Magnus catlike eyes with clear adoration.

"Thank you for the coffee maker." he whispered - and it was clear that he understood Magnus' message and actually liked the idea - right before kissing Magnus again.
