Chapter 9
Magnus' POV
Sunshine fell through a small stripe the curtains didn't close and directly into my face. But I have to say, my ears felt nicely warm and when I opened my eyes, I saw the Chairman right in front of me, completely laying in the sunshine and letting it warm his fur. I turned around in my bed but found Alecs side empty, I let my hand grab the sheets and felt that they were still warm. Maybe... in 30 years or so, he will sleep longer than 5 minutes... Groaning I pulled the sheets up to my nose and turned and wiggled my way deeper into them. After a few minutes I heard the door open and for the first time really felt how my ears twitched, it was strange but Alexander would have found it very cute for sure and I got a problem with being cute. Mmh... this smell... coffee... "Mmh... coffee..." "And some more. Are you hungry, honey?" I felt the mattress sink under his weight and heard the klirring sound of porcelain but decided to let my eyes stay closed. "Mmh... coffee..." I nearly heard Alec smiling. He put the tablet on the bedside table and laid down beside me, kissing my lips softly. As he pulled away my lips followed him blindly and I think I looked like a fish, so I understood him as he began to laugh. "You're too cute... but if you want to drink coffee, you have to wake up." I let my head fall back onto the pillow. "Urgh!... Okay..."
I opened my eyes and his blue ones shining back to me, saw his smile on his lips and in his eyes. "Hey..." I said lamely but he knew me well and just smiled at my lazy behavior. "Hey, there he is, my powerful, terrifying high warlock of Brooklyn." "Haha..." I wanted to sit up but now the sheets were fighting to hold me down, the Chairman protested, meowing loud as I wriggled my way out of the sheets now and disturbing his beauty sleep. I know how you feel, buddy.
Alec sat up too and handed the coffee cup over to me before he sat the tablet down over my lap, the smell of waffles, chocolate syrup and coffee mixed in my nostrils. I took a sip from the coffee and mumbled: "I love you." Alec took his own cup and sat back to the headboard. "Do you mean me or the coffee?" I smiled in my cup taking ankther sip. "Both..." "Okay... no breakfast in bed for you anymore." He tried to take away the tablet, but I stopped him with one hand. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I love you and only you my little sweet, awesome, sexy, lovey dovey Alexander baby." He looked at me nearly disgusted ad said:" Do you even recognize what you're saying anymore? Or do just want to rescue your waffles?" "Mmh..." He sat back, putting his cup on the bedside table and crossing his arms. "Ah ha... That's the way you're feeling. So the next time I really want your love, I have to lay a waffle with chocolate syrup onto my chest." Now that was mean... Alec with chocolate syrup running down his six pack and even lower and me... "Mmh..." He laughed at that and slapped my shoulder playfully. "You're a pervert!" "I'm not! You started all that chocolate syrup stuff! You knew too well where my mind would go."
I took a bite of my waffles and knew that Alecs thoughts drifted away at the moment I licked the chocolate syrup from my lips. I waited until he looked up from my lips to my eyes and said: "Thinking about neko sex toy mangas again, you pervert?!" Oh ohh... I know that look... That means... I tried to get my legs out under the tablet and sheets in world record time and ... run. I don't care that I'm naked I just want to get away from Alec who wants to tickle me. I don't get very far, the bad part about having cat ears? You can hear it that you lost, I heard him before he tackled me down to the carpet in the living room. It was more like circling my chest and and arms with arms and turning around as we fell to the ground. I landed on top of him, I knew he did it to prevent me from getting hurt, I just had to love him for those little things. He turned us around again and I could feel the carpet on the naked skin on my back. He held my wrists over my head with one hand and tickled my sides with his other. I writhed beneath him, pleaded him to let me go, laughed till it hurts. "I will never... ever... in... my life... tell you... something... about me... again" he said between every new tickle attack. He let go of me, but I didn't move I needed to get oxygen in my lungs, I took deep breaths, felt his hands next to my head and his body half laying on mine. I could feel his breathing, the heaving of his chest, felt that he was watching me intensely.
He shifted his weight to his elbow, began to play with my hair and crawled my ear. I couldn't even stop it if I would've wanted to, I began purring again. I looked at him, with one hand reaching for his cheek and caressing his cheekbone. "I love you, my little pervert." He smiled widely and let his fingers slide over my stomach to my side. "Be careful, warlock. I'm not the one gasping for air... And I love you too. Are you awake now?" "Yeah. But that doesn't mean you should tickle me to death every morning." "I could only tickle you to death one time, couldn't I? It isn't any fun the second time when you're dead and doesn't wiggle around." I decided to play the adult part here and sticked out my tongue at him. Alec stood up and offered me his hand for help. He pulled me up and into his chest, kissing me deeply as his hands wandered to the small of my back.
After a few minutes he let go of me and I really watched him for the first time today. He looked delicious, clearly a day off from the institute and hunting, he wore casual clothes with a loose black jeans that hugged his ass nicely and a white button down shirt which sleeves he had rolled up, showing some runes and tight enough to give you an imagination of his muscular chest. I licked my lips at that sight and then I had to think about my appearance, my hair must've looked like bird's nest. I touched my hair and gasped, running right back into the bedroom grabbing some clothes and into the bathroom to do my hair. "Why didn't you tell me that I look like hell?!" "Cause you don't... you look cute and hot and like we had sex last night!" I heard the smile in his voice as he shouted that after me and although he couldn't see me I rolled my eyes and smiled then. "Dumbass! I'm awake now, but I'm still hungry! I need more hot waffles!" Through the open door I could see that Alec took the tablet from the bed and came over giving me a small peck. "I'll make you some more, honey." With that he left me and my hair alone.
After eating some waffles with perfectly styled hair I watched Alec drinking some coffee. "Are you sure about your day off? Your cell phone will die because of exhaustion with Izzy and Goldilocks calling every five seconds." "I talked to Izzy before I made your breakfast. I had about 20 missed calls this morning as I switched on my phone. How do you know about my day off?" I took a gulp of my coffee and smiled at him. "Your clothes. You look like a normal, very hot and sexy, but normal mundane." Alec nearly spitted out his coffee and a blush crept it's way to his cheeks as he wiped his mouth with his thump trying to cover it with his hand. "Ohhh... I'm missing that blush. You just get at compliments nowadays. What have you planned for today?" He set his coffee cup down and looked at me still blushed. "I still don't believe compliments, that's why I blush." "You call me a liar then..." "What!?... No! I just... I..." I knew how he meant it and seeing him stuttering again after such a long time, I just had to laugh. "It's okay, darling. You're just getting more and more cute every second." He mumbled something that I shouldn't have understand, but he fogot my cat ears. "I'm not a cute kitty. Don't use Goldilocks' words against me."
Alec shifted in his seat and tried to avoid looking in my eyes and cleared his throat. "Mmh... I want to help you." "With what?" "Find out what went wrong, find out what to do. Whatever you want to do now." I picked up my dishes to bring them over to the kitchen. "I want to throw a party." "You want to throw a party?... I somewhere lost you on the way..." I came back into the dining room and knelt down in front of Alecs chair, looking up to him. "Research is a thing I need to do. But that will take a lot more time than one or two days. I heard what you said last night. I won't do something until I know it would work. Until then I will use a spell to make a very thick glamour like Ragnor used it. Like that I can hide my fault and work on a solution." "Okay... I think..." Alec still looked like I'm a lunatic. "So, what do you say about throwing a party?" "You really were serious about it?" "Yeah. The last one was ages ago."
We talked about what to do for a while and went over to the living room, cuddling on the couch together with Chairman Meow, as Alec decided to switch his phone on. It just beeped and vibrated for ages. "Tell your siblings to come over. That would be easier as to explain everything over and over and over again. Clary ans Simon could come with them." "Are you sure?" "Yes. Tell them to get over here for dinner, but if Jace touches my ears or tail he will fly out the window and be turned into a pink unicorn with glittery rainbow hair!" Alec looked at me as if waiting for something more and then said: "Should I say it exactly in those words?" "Oh yes." "Good. I'll make the call, will be back in a minute." He pecked my lips, stood up and went to the bedroom already dialing. And yes... he used exactly my words and I grinned to myself.
