A.N. This pairing is from the Mortal Instruments; they are actually a canon pairing but in this Alec never liked Jace in a romantic way. Also, Chairman Meow is the best!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Mortal Instruments or its characters.

Alec was lounging on the couch, stretched out like the cat next to him. Speaking of Chairman Meow, he was looking at Alec through half-lidded eyes which would be pretty fucking creepy if Alec hadn't spent his entire life training to hunt down demons that tried to murder humans and cause chaos on Earth. Reaching out to pet the immobile cat, Alec was tempted to close his eyes and go to sleep but rejected that idea as soon as it came. Chairman Meow purred loudly and leant into Alec's hand as he continued to scratch behind the cat's ears. It was only when he started to drift off did Alec hear the door open and close softly. Magnus was home.

"Hey."

Alec greeted the other gently, standing up and leading the exhausted warlock to the couch. Said warlock sunk into the couch; he leant into Alec's hold tiredly as the younger male held him.

"Told you not to wait up."

Magnus mumbled into Alec's chest tiredly and Alec had to stop himself from smiling at how cute he looked in that moment.

"You did it to me when I told you not to,"

Alec pointed out to which Magnus grumbled incoherent nonsense into black clothing in response.

"And besides, I wanted to stay up. Especially when you've been working so hard."

When Magnus didn't respond to him besides giving a slight scoff, Alec ploughed ahead.

"Seriously, you need to stop working so hard. It's not healthy."

Golden cat eyes raised to meet worried blue ones and Magnus gave his boyfriend a quick peck on the lips.

"You do the same with your Shadowhunter work despite my telling you that it is tiring you out. Besides, I'm the High Warlock of Brooklyn; who else would be able to do what I do?"

"Just take a break, okay? You keep coming home more and more exhausted each day. Your stressing yourself out and it's showing."

"What about you? Your job is basically killing you and one day it actually might. Take a day off."

"I would if I could. But mom won't let that happen because I have 'responsibilities' and I can't shirk them."

"How about a deal? If I take a day off from working, you have to spend the day with me. No answering calls from your mom to do work. Tell Izzy and Jace that you're taking the day off with me and that to only call you if it's an absolute emergency. They'll understand."

"Deal."

"Great. Now join me in the plane of sleep."

Alec chuckled at his boyfriend's wording but compliantly lay down with the other man and they soon collapsed into sleep; both were too tired from their jobs to bother with more conversation. Chairman Meow jumped up onto Magnus' chest, curling up and sleeping (something that the lazy beast did every second of the day).

Izzy would walk in later with all intents of dragging Alec by the ear to the Institute for some well deserved rest but would stop after seeing the three curled up together on the couch. She would smile and take a photo; she had no intentions of black mailing either males (unless they found something incriminating on her) but she had to memorialise this adorable moment. Walking out silently she would send the photo to Jace, Clary, Simon and Maryse (Izzy would never forget how she made Alec feel before coming out to her but she could acknowledge how hard the older Lightwood was trying especially after her father's affair).

A few days later, if someone went to Magnus' apartment they would find him and Alec binge watching Attack on Titan whilst laughing at how Levi utterly destroyed Eren during the initial fight with him. Luckily, Maryse didn't even attempt to make contact (having been convinced by Jace, Izzy and Max's combined efforts of letting Alec have a day with his boyfriend) and no emergency calls came in. All in all it was the perfect day for the lovers.

A.N. Not a group chat this time but tomorrow is either going to be a Mortal Instruments group chat, a Clizzy fanfiction (there is practically no fanfictions on this ship that I can find), a Saphael one-shot or something I haven't thought of yet but will in due time. Hope you enjoyed this rushed one-shot (it was actually meant to be an angst one-shot but I couldn't be bothered).
