Happy Birthday Alec

Alec looked over at his alarm clock. 8 am. September 8th, 2015. His 26th birthday.

He groaned and buried himself into the blankets.

Alec hated his birthday.

When he was younger, he couldn't wait for it to arrive. Not because of presents or cake, which if Izzy was in charge consisted of clothes he would never wear and cake that was inedible, but because it meant he was one year closer to adulthood. And adulthood meant autonomy.

But after he turned 18, his birthdays brought him nothing but dread.

Reluctantly, he sat up, drawn by the smell of freshly brewed coffee and french toast wafting into the room. He knew he couldn't hide away in the bedroom all day.

He was sure that Magnus and their son had planned all kinds of things to do to celebrate the day and Izzy had already scheduled their evening for a birthday dinner at the Institute with their family and friends. He only hoped that she wasn't doing the cooking.

Suddenly, as if his family had sensed that he was awake, a small flash of blue came hurling at him, bouncing onto the bed and flinging small arms around him.

"Happy Birthday Daddy!" the boy squealed happily.

Alec chuckled and kissed the top of his head lovingly. "Thank you kiddo."

His husband strode over behind their son, smiling softly at Alec.

"Happy Birthday Darling," he said, bending over their son in Alec's lap and brushing his lips against Alec's. "I've made us french toast and bacon."

"Come on daddy, we have a lot to do today."

Magnus laughed happily. "We'll be right behind you."

Once the little boy had bounded out of the room, Magnus crawled onto the bed, straddling the younger man with his knees and grasping his face in his hands. He kissed him deeply and Alec moaned into his lips.

Pulling away, Magnus entwined his fingers with Alec's, drawing them up and kissing the back of each hand.

"Let's go celebrate your birthday."

"You know I don't like it, Magnus."

"Your reasons are invalid," he said, waving the comment dismissively, playful blue sparks following his hand as it swept through the air.

He pressed his lips against Alec's neck. "You're so beautiful, Alec," he murmured into his skin.

Alec pushed him away and glared at him. "For how long? Why are we even celebrating today? All it represents to me is one less year I have with my husband and son. That's not cause for celebration. I'd rather put on all black and–."

Magnus laughed, cutting him off with his lips. "Like you were going to wear any other color either way."

Alec snorted despite himself.

Magnus grabbed him by his hand and pulled him out of their bed.

"I'm not going to sit here and mourn one less year we have together. I'm going to drag you out there and we're all going to celebrate the year we did have together. Come on babe."
