prompt: Alec accidentally drinks one of the potions
"Magnus! What the hell is in your milk?" The shadowhunter's angry hiss is audible two rooms away. Magnus sits up quickly from his lounging position on the couch where he'd been reading a book.
"Alec? Alec, don't drink that! Alec, did you—" His boyfriend stalks into the room, a long tail swishing behind him in angry circles and two ears twitching atop his head. When the boy's cat eyes find his own, Magnus can't help the smile that stretches his mouth. "That milk is for the Chairman, Alec. Specifically modified for the feline physique." Alec's snarl is dampened by a blush after he lets out what sounds like an irritated mew. Magnus struggles to contain his laughter. The shadowhunter really is too cute. "Come here, and I'll fix you up." He pats the couch next to him, his own predatory grin in place. Alec pads over, hesitant.
"Magnus, you better not—" And then the warlock scratches Alec behind his cat ears and what's left of his snarl is replaced a pout replaced by a purr. "Mmm… Feels good." He presses closer to Magnus, nuzzling his head against the man's chest. Another meow escapes. When Magnus's hand stops moving, Alec leans back reproachfully, then he narrows his eyes and bites the warlocks retreating fingers.
"Alexander!"
"Yes?" Alec blinks slowly at Magnus, eyes bright and innocent. Magnus barley registers the way the boy shifts his weight and points his ears in concentration and then it's too late, he's pounced, he's rolled Magnus onto the floor and is kissing him fiercely. Not that Magnus minds.
"Umpf!" Magnus's startled noise is muffled against the other boy's mouth. Cat Alec bites gently at Magnus's lip and the warlock scratches around his ears again. Purrs resonate deep in the shadowhunter's chest before he draws back, studying Magnus's face.
"Are my eyes like yours?"
"Yeah." Magnus swipes the hair back from Alec's face, exposing the brilliant blue and stroking the top of his head. Slit pupils, like a cat.
"They're beautiful, you know." Alec is staring at him in a way he hasn't been stared at for some time.
"They're a warlock's mark. Part of what separates us."
"Don't care. They're part of you, and I love you." Alec is blushing again. Magnus smiles.
"You do realize that most boyfriends don't accidentally turn their significant others into cats."
"But you can fix that, right?" Magnus shrugs.
"Potions are easier to unravel than spells. Sometimes."
"Sometimes?!" A shrill meow escapes but Magnus manages not to laugh. Barley.
"Oh don't worry. We'll find a way to ditch the tail and the eyes, although the ears really are cute. I assume you'd rather not keep those?" Alec glares at the warlock, but then Magnus starts scratching the top of his head again and the boy melts.
"The ears have to go." Magnus scratches harder. "But we don't have to get rid of them… immediately." The boy mumbles, nuzzling closer to the warlock. Magnus had always liked cats.
