A Love

An unlikely love, at that. Downworlder and Shadowhuner. Warlock and Nephilim. Immortal, and mortal. Opposites, in nearly every sense of the word. But a love all the same. Because when it all came down to it, at the end of the day, after the countless fights and arguments and frustrations, there was no one else; nothing else, but the two of them. They mattered to eachother; cared about eachother. They loved eachother, probably a lot more than they should have, maybe even a lot more than they even realized.

A Kiss

"Alexander, you aren't possibly planning for us to go anywhere with that shirt on, are you?" Magnus asked sleepily, watching as Alec did up the front of his new button-down shirt that Magnus had gotten him. "Why not? You're the one who picked it out. I thought you liked it," Alec said, a bit confused as he tilted his head. Magnus grinned some, crawling to the edge of the bed in a cat-like manner. "Oh, I do. I love it very much. It brings out your eyes. And you look absolutely stunning in it, darling, but I'm afraid I might not be able to help myself from pulling it off of you in public, because as much as you look nice with that shirt on, you look much nicer with it off, if I'm to be honest." Alec felt his cheeks go hot, the blush spreading down as far as his neck. "You wouldn't," He squeaked, in a very un-Shadowhunteresque way. Magnus's grin widened, starting to rival the Cheshire Cat's as he got up and walked over to stand in front of the Shadowhunter. "You know I would," He said softly, resting his forehead on Alec's and moving his hands to smooth down the front of Alec's shirt. He moved his hands down, lower, and hooked his fingers in the beltloops of Alec's jeans, pulling the boy even closer and pressing his lips against Alec's. Alec made a soft, contented noise, kissing the warlock back, and sliding his arms around Magnus' waist.

A Touch

Alec shifted in the slightest as he felt a soft tickle on the side of his cheek. It happened again; though this time it felt like more of a touch, moving across his forhead and sweeping his hair out of his closed eyes. He mumbled something; incoherent. There was a soft laugh from above, and "What did you say, darling?" Alec made an annoyed sound, his eyes fluttering open. "I said; I didn't hear you come in." He mumbled again, much more coherent this time. "Hmm, no, you didn't," Magnus agreed, kneeling down and folding his arms at the edge of the couch, resting his chin in the middle. Alec looked at him with heavy lidded eyes, slowly lifting his hand, reaching over and brushing Magnus' cheek. The warlock hummed gently, turning his head into Alec's touch.

A Laugh

"What do you mean you aren't ticklish?" Magnus asked, turning his gaze to Alec. "I mean just that; I'm not ticklish," He said, shrugging. A small smile played at the edges of Magnus' lips as he said; "Are you sure about that?" "Yes, I'm sure, Mag- Wait, what are you doing?" Alec squawked as Magnus, with some difficulty, managed to straddle Alec, which was impressive considering the very little space he had on the couch to do it. There was a glint in his gold-green eyes as he moved his hands to Alec's neck. "You have got to be ticklish somewhere, and I am going to find out where," Magnus said, frowning as he got no reaction from Alec as he tried the Shadowhunter's neck. "Okay, maybe not there," He muttered to himself. Alec squirmed underneath Magnus. "Get off me, you lunatic!" Alec exclaimed, bringing his knees up in an attempt to shuffle Magnus off. "Quit moving!" Magnus demanded, moving his arm back and grabbing above Alec's knee. Alec made a startled sound, attempting to get Magnus' hand away from his knee. When Magnus realized why, a devilish grin light up his face. "Alexander, you little liar. You are so ticklish!" Then Magnus proceeded to tickle Alec's knee. The young boy erupted into laughter, unable to stop himself. "Magnus- s-stop" He gasped, laughing harder. All Magnus did was chuckle.

A Cry

Magnus heard the 'click' of the door, even from his study. He looked up with bleak, weary eyes. It was four in the morning, and he was tired. The only person who could even get in without buzzing in or knocking was Alec, and then Magnus started to worry, because something must have been wrong for the Shadowhunter to come over this early -or late, depending on which way you looked at it. Pushing his chair back and standing up, Magnus made his way to see Alec. What he saw startled him. Alec was leaning against the door, head titled back, looking at the ceiling. His clothes were dripping water, and Alec reached up and hastily wiped away what Magnus thought was water but realized was tears. "Alexander?" He asked gently, walking over to the Shadowhunter and then hesitating, standing a few feet away from him. Alec looked at Magnus, biting his lip and taking in a shaky breath; forcing a smile. "You're all wet," Magnus said, just for the sake of saying something. "Yeah, I know. Had a run in with a Kelpie," He replied, and then seeing the look upon Magnus' face, quickly added, "I'm fine. Can't say the same for him, though." Magnus watched Alec closely, nodding slowly. "Now what did you come here for, at four in the morning?" He asked. "I..." Alec trailed, biting the inside corner of his lip. A look passed across his face, something of sadness; guilt, even. There was a burning at the back of his eyes, and he felt it, but he tried his best to push it back, because he would not cry, not now, not again. Magnus merely reached out and pulled Alec into his chest, running his hands through the boy's black hair. Alec buried his face into the dip of the warlock's shoulder, inhaling deeply. Wrapping his arms around Magnus' middle, the tears came. The tears turned to body-racking sobs, and Magnus held Alec through it, not saying a word.

I'll definetly add more, because I still have a few. If you have any suggestions for what else I could do, please, feel free to share! I've already got 'A Fight' and 'A Loss' for ideas to add, not going any further into detail about what will happen in them, though, haha! Reviews would be nice, because I worked really hard on this one. Hope you enjoy! xx
