Here's a super short Malec sickfic because I love them. :)
"You really shouldn't have gone out on that mission." Magnus sighs, as his boyfriend pulls off his coat. "You were already coming down with something, and now you look worse."
Alec sneezes into his elbow and sniffles wetly. "I's jus' a cold. I'm okay."
"It's frigid outside, and it's been raining all night. Forgive me for not wanting you out there while you're already catching a cold."
"And you say nothing about me slaying demons and risking my life on almost a daily basis." Alec smirks, then coughs into his fist.
"Well, I'm used to the demon slaying." Magnus replies. "You need a hot shower and cuddles by the looks of it."
Alec raises his eyebrows. "I can't argue with that."
The steam of the shower eases his inability to breathe; his nose is less stuffed and his chest is slightly less tight. His achy muscles also get some relief from the hot water as Alec washes the dirt and ichor off of himself, feeling the weight of exhaustion in his bones. Clumsily climbing out of the shower, he wraps a towel around his waist. He smiles when he sees that Magnus has laid out his softest sweater and a pair of sweatpants and gets dressed before rejoining Magnus in the living room.
"Are you warmed up, Darling?" Magnus kisses his cheek, and Alec sneezes.
"Yeah," the shadowhunter sneezes again. "But I was promised cuddles."
Magnus leads his boyfriend over to the couch, sitting down and opening his arms for Alec to snuggle into. "You okay, Alexander?"
"Mmh." Alec mumbles into Magnus' shoulder. "Do I feel hot to you?"
The warlock presses the back of his hand to Alec's cheek. "Burning up, I'm afraid."
Alec swears. Magnus strokes his hair and says, "You just need rest. You've been working yourself too hard."
Alec sneezes wetly. "I need a tissue."
Magnus snaps his fingers, and a box of tissues- the kind with lotion- appears in his boyfriend's lap. Alec stares at it accusingly.
"Did you steal these?"
"I wouldn't call it stealing…"
Alec just glares at Magnus, who says, "Sorry, I know it bothers you a little-"
"It bothers me a lot." Alec sniffles, grabbing a tissue to blow his nose despite his morals regarding tissue theft.
"You're so cute." Magnus states. Alec coughs and snuggles deeper into the space between Magnus' neck and shoulder.
"Shut up."
