A/N: Super short, but here's the second one. Thanks to everyone who's read so far. Tell me what you think and enjoy!

"Stop! I'm not kidding, it doesn't work!" Alec yelped as Jace pressed down onto his arm. They had been trying out new runes for Clary and Alec was the apparent guinea pig.

Jace laughed before letting up on the pressure. Clary's face fell. "So the painless rune doesn't work?"

"Either that or Alec's just a giant wimp," Jace smirked, dodging Alec's good arm that was reaching out to whack him.

"I'm not a wimp," he said, glaring. "Besides," he added, "It's a probably a good thing that it doesn't work. Pain is the body's signal that something's wrong.

"What doesn't work?"

Alec's head whipped around. His boyfriend had apparently returned from his appointment. "Clary was testing out new runes. On me."

"Yeah," Jace added, "She was just trying out a new painless rune. Apparently it doesn't work because I just made Alec squeal like a little girl."

An amused look crossed Magnus' face. "How exactly did you manage that?"

Alec's face flushed crimson. "Like this," Jace said before taking Alec's arm and pressing it against the wall with all his strength. Once Jace saw his face twist in discomfort, he smirked. "Say it," he commanded.

"Mercy!" Alec yelled.

Jace pushed him away. "See," he said, "A total wimp."

Holding his arm, Alec felt fingertips pressing gently to the area and the pain slowly subsided. He let his muscles relax.

"Can we please stop torturing my boyfriend, as amusing as it is? I do need him in one piece."

Alec sighed. He should have known that having someone on his side was too good to be true.
