A/N: This is my first MI story… so keep that in mind as you read…

Ok… I'm going to make this a little grouping of word/phrase-drabbles completely unrelated to the previous unless stated in the A/N… to be continued until run out of words/phrases… I need you, the readers, to send me words/phrases via review if you want anything specific to be in the story, add that to the review as well…If I can think of something to do with it, I'll make it a new chapter here in the collection of drabbles, and I'll make sure to credit where the word/phrase came from. ^.^

I don't think I'm going to up the rating… unless you give me word that my own dirty little mind chooses to take it in that direction, or you make note in you review that you want it a dirty chapter.

And I'll make this collection of Drabbles feature either Magnus or Alec or both, as they are my favorite pairing.

So… Here's a word I've been working on for quite some time… Birthday... more specifically Alec's 19th Birthday. It's set after City of Fallen Angels but can be read with little to no spoilers if you've never read CoFA…

1. Birthday

Alec sat alone in the library of the institute that morning, staring out the window at the busy New York street. He watched as a young couple laughed and disappeared around the corner in the pale light gleaming from the sunrise and was overcome with an emotion he didn't want to face…

He got up and walked out of the library and almost made it to his room before he was stopped by Isabelle. "Where are you off to in such a big hurry?" She asked him smiling.

"My room. Where does it look like?" He said a little harsher than he intended.

She looked at him angrily for a moment before she grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" He asked, not even caring enough to try to struggle out of her grip.

"In case you missed it… It's your birthday and you're not spending it alone." She said, sitting him down on a chair at the table around by Clary and Jace. "Happy Birthday," Clary said, smiling at him.

Alec frowned, shrugging one shoulder in acknowledgment, but didn't say anything as he sat down across from her.

Isabelle sat next to him and the next half hour was spent with Alec trying to pay attention to what his siblings were saying… but his mind was elsewhere. His mind raced as he opened new weapons from Jace, a book from Clary and a light blue sweater from Isabelle. After a few more moments Isabelle finally let him leave the kitchen and sit alone with his thoughts in his room.

His birthday filled him with dread and his family didn't understand… he was aging.

Suddenly he couldn't stand being alone anymore. Before he knew what happened, he was standing outside Magnus' flat. He knocked and waited for Magnus to answer the door.

The door opened and before Magnus could even say hello, Alec was in his arms, kissing him passionately.

It was Magnus who broke the kiss first, "I could be greeted like that more often…" He breathed. Alec moved to kiss him again, but Magnus stopped him, "I have a present for you…" He pulled Alec into the apartment and pulled a small blue box off a shelf and handed it to Alec.

"Y-you didn't-" Magnus shushed him before he could finish his protest.

"Just open it," he said with a smile.

Alec slowly unwrapped the small box, a little bigger than the palm of his hand. He pulled the lid off the box and saw a simple black cord with a rainbow cord weaved through it. His fingers brushed over a piece of metal. He picked it up and examined it… the small piece of metal had the couples' intertwined initials in runic language carved on it.

He looked up at Magnus with a smile n his face as he pulled the bracelet on his arm… for the second time in less than 10 minutes he wrapped his arms around Magnus' neck and kissed him passionately… any thought of him getting older vanished (at least for now) as the couple made their way to the bedroom.

A/N: ok… So that's the first Drabble. Please leave a review with a word/phrase (Make sure you tell me what you think of the story so far, don't just review with one word/Phrase) and I'll try to make it into a Drabble…

Until next time, folks!
