Magnus was almost positive he had remembered to lock his door before exiting his house, almost positive. His green flecked gaze narrowed at the now unlocked and slightly opened door. There was a noise of shuffling through the crack, then the sound of a loud crash and a pained cry of alarm from the Chairman.

Magnus was instantly in movement after that, his hands shoving open the door and feet stumbling. He was a High Warlock, only idiots broke into his house. Blue sparks danced along his fingertips, his eyes squinted slightly against the dimness. A startled intake of breath slipped past his lips as he pushed open the door leading to his bedroom. Red roses littered the floor and candles glowed valiantly, flames licking at the air to find something to cling to. Even glitter decored the surrounding areas. And in the midst of it lied a boy all clad in black. His sheepish gaze lifted up to Magnus, a blush dusting his cheeks red. "Alec."

Magnus breathed his name in relief, lowering his sparkling blue hands. A quivering small shape darted past Magnus' legs, yowling as it tucked its tail underneath itself. "Chairman!"

Magnus turned to console the frightened cat, but it had already vanished. Turning back to the Shadowhunter, who had by now stood up, Magnus glared. Nothing was ever allowed to harm Chairman Meow, not even the most attractive male in the world. "M-Magnus I'm sorry. H-He just..."

His voice trailed off at the sight of Magnus' expression, one full of anger and frustration. It made Alec's heart leap into his throat, choking off his chances of more words.

Magnus watched Alec momentarily, eyes narrowed as he tried to keep his face set. Alec shifted nervously, his eyes averted from the cat-like eyes staring him down. Suddenly Magnus sighed, releasing his anger along with it as his fists unfurled. "You'll have to apologize to Chairman Meow." He stated calmly as he stepped close to the shorter boy. "He doesn't like being stepped on." Alec glanced up at him curiously, moving closer as well. "That can wait till later right?" He asked but didn't care for an answer with words. Magnus swept his hand up to cup the shorter boys cheek, eyes staring deep into his own. "Yep, but for now..." His voice trailed off as he placed a sweet yet firm kiss upon Alec's lips.

Alec instantly closed the distance further, hands folding on Magnus's chest. The Warlock drew him in closer, heart pounding as if it were still only their first kiss. His arms wrapped around the smaller boys neck as a smile broke across his features. "What is this for?" He mumbled against Alec's lips, eyes opening to gaze down at his love.

Alec opened his eyes as well, staring up at Magnus in complete and total adoration. "You. I missed you, it's been so long now."

"I love you so much Alec." Magnus made a small choked noise at the back of his throat as he drew Alec close for another kiss. This was uncoordinated, sloppy, and not practiced. But Magnus couldn't care less, just feeling him was enough. The kiss broke apart again as Alec leaned closer against him, a smile pulling up his lips as well. It felt like it had been so long since Alec had genuinely smiled.

"Alec." Magnus whispered, not willing to remove his arms from around the shorter boys neck. "Hmm?"

Magnus chuckled slightly, gently trailing his fingers in circles along Alec's upper back. "I love you."

Alec leaned up to kiss him again, gently pressing his lips along Magnus' jaw. "You already said that..." Alec inquired, bemused. Finally he pressed his lips against Magnus's again, relishing in the feeling of joy that overcame him.

"MAGNUS! EWW!"

Magnus pulled back to gaze towards the door, his green skinned friend standing there. "Ah, Ragnor has arrived"

Alec stepped back from Magnus, eyes narrowing crossly. "Yeah." He spat hatefully. "Ragnor has shown."

Ragnor simply lifted his lips in acknowledgement to the jealous Shadowhunter. Magnus flourished himself across the floor, his silken cape flowering around him as he moved. Everything he did was graceful, it was rare he ever tripped. "I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting Alec to do- well, this. It's lovely, don't you think?"

Ragnor, if possible, turned greener at the thought, his eyes widening in disgust. "No." He answered shortly, arms crossing tightly. Magnus dismissed his sour friend with the wave of his hand, spinning around to face Alec again. "Alec, I invited Ragnor over for a bit so..."

"Are you asking me to leave?!" The words tasted bitter on his tongue as he spat them out, disbelief coating Alec's features.

"No, no." Magnus soothed, motioning to the two of them. "We can all be in the same room, right?"

"No." Ragnor and Alec spoke in perfect unison, the synchronous words probably never to be repeated like that again. There was a hateful sort of edge in both of their voices, a painful thing that Magnus chose to ignore.

He swept his gaze across the two males features, shrugging and smiling like a child. "Oh goodie~ I'll take that for a yes." He turned then, faster than Alec had expected, and grasped the back of the young Shadowhunter's head, pulling him close for a forceful type of kiss that made Alec's knees weak and mind dizzy. The Warlock released his lover only to lean forward and whisper. "If you do this for me." He cooed, eyes lidding as he spoke. "I'll do something even better for you."

Magnus drew back and winked. Alec shuddered, but nodded quickly, eager to comply. Turning back to Ragnor, Magnus smiles. "Shall we?"

~~~~

The bed creaked under the weight of the two boys, Magnus pinning Alec's body against the plush mattress. Alec shivered again, eyes staring up yearningly to his significant other. Magnus spared no moments for teasing words, crushing himself against the other boy, he kisses him harshly, hands unfurling from Alec's wrist to scour his body. Alec's body responded with a jerk, his back arching up from the bed into Magnus's brazen touch with a shudder.

Alec gasped sharply as Magnus pulled back to suckle at his neck, teeth gently nipping at the more sensitive skin. His hands once again slipped to push Alec's shirt up, hands sliding gently along his bare chest."Magnus-"

"I love hearing you say my name."

Alec writhed from the pleasure underneath Magnus's weight, forcing air down into his lungs as his stomach flopped; eyes fluttering. Magnus leaned up to unceremoniously struggle with unbuckling Alec's pants. As he continued his ministrations, he once again leaned down to kiss along Alec's collarbone. "No Magnus, what if... W-What if Ragnor returns."

Magnus groaned, his hands gently sliding under his partners shirt, fingers tickling his skin into light gasps. He had finally gotten Alec's pants unbuttoned as he sucked in more breaths. "It'll take him awhile to-"

"I'm back."

Ragnor stood at the doorway, eyes narrowed in a dark and almost envious light at the two. Ragnor despised seeing Magnus pay anyone else attention when he was present. "Ragnor!" Magnus exclaimed.

"Dammit." Alec hissed, shoving Magnus off to quickly buckle his jeans back up. His fingers fumbled as he fixed himself, sitting forward on the edge of the bed.

Magnus was busy trying to suck in enough breath to suffice talking, all the while Ragnor stood in complete disgust. "That was... That was fast."

Magnus gasped out the words, his heart-beat finally slowing to a steady rate. "Yep. Your cat hadn't gotten too far from home."

Ragnor stepped further into the room, lifting the frightened fur-ball from his jacket. Chairman Meow made a noise of disapproval before curling up in Ragnor's arms and sleeping. Ragnor had always had some inhuman unspoken connection with cats. "Thank you."

Magnus reached out to pluck the Chairman from Ragnor's arms, his eyes observing the cat lovingly, before he gently reset him to the floor, earning a meow of anger from the cat before he ambled away. Magnus glanced sideways to Alec, a smile tilting up his lips. Alec had leaned himself against a far wall, a dark aura surrounding him. Magnus understood that Ragnor and Alec weren't exactly buddies, he could distinctly recall that Ragnor had purposely done that in hopes that Magnus would cease seeing him, which obviously hadn't succeeded.

Magnus pushed off from the bed, moving to stand between the two. "Okay, we can all-"

"No we can't Magnus."

This outburst shocked Magnus, his eyes moving to gaze across the room at Alec. He'd pushed himself from the wall and moved to stand nearer to the two Warlocks.

"Magnus, I'm sorry, but I can't be near Ragnor. Nor can he stand to be near myself. We just don't like each other. I tried, but Ragnor is impossible-"

"You're impossible. Stupid Nephilim always whining about some issue." Ragnor snorted, eyes narrowing to Alec.

"You're always in a bad mood!" Alec retorted, eyes returning the glare.

"Because you're always here." Ragnor stepped up to Alec, his fingers curling into a tight fist. "You're the issue Alec. You won't even be around much longer; because unlike myself, you age."

Those words seemed to have ignited a painful memory in Alec's mind, something that triggered his natural sense of response; attack. His fist swung out faster than even he could realize, and connected with Ragnor's jaw. The hit did little to deter Ragnor, mainly because Alec wasn't the most violent Shadowhunter, but it still shocked the emerald Warlock, his head knocked sideways from the blow as he staggered back clutching his cheek. Bewildered, he stared wide eyed to the suddenly apologetic Shadowhunter. "You damn Nephilim! I should-"

"ENOUGH."

Magnus' voice rang out loudly, his eyes narrowing at the two. He didn't know who he was more upset with; them for fighting, or himself for believing he could stop them. He wanted to scold them, but he didn't exactly know what to say in that moment, he couldn't find the words to express himself. His hands curled into tight fists, turning his knuckles white. "Just stop. I'm sorry for expecting better of you."

Whirling around, he stalks furiously from the house, completely forgetting momentarily that the house was his own.

Ragnor and Alec stood in silence, both averting gazes from the other. Ragnor was the first to break that. "I'm sorry." He sighed, shoulders relaxing and fingers spreading in order to ease the tension.

Alec gazed over to the green male before himself, contemplating on what to say. "For saying what I said. It wasn't right."

This time, Alec relaxed, his gaze softening on the Warlock. "I also apologize, I shouldn't have hit you."

"Magnus is important to you." He added, eyes following the trail Magnus took to leave. Alec nodded in agreement. "Just as he is to you."

"So what do you propose Nephilim?"

Alec understood entirely, his mind clicking fully into realization. "Truce." Thrusting his hand forth, he smiles a crooked smile. "For Magnus."

Ragnor looked at the hand, disgust ebbing around his features. Swallowing heavily, he grips Alec's hand tightly. " Truce."

~~~~

Magnus sat himself on the final step down the stairs from his apartment, he had had every intention of leaving as to not risk running into Alec again, but instead found himself here, counting the cracks in the daisy yellow wallpapers. Nobody else seemed to have company, and nobody else seemed eager to leave their houses so Magnus was left in complete silence as he sat there. Aside from the occasional wailing of sirens as they sped past his building, and the bustle of a homeless man as he shoved a shopping cart along darkened alleyways. These sounds comforted Magnus's thoughts though, it soothed his anger away, and left him wallowing in self-pity.

He hadn't intended on the two to fight, Ragnor was like a brother to him, and Alec was the love of his life, there had to be a line to be drawn. At least Magnus had hoped, but instead he ended up sitting lonely on the final step, his head held between his hands. His breathing had slowed exponentially, and part of him wondered if this was an after-anger high. A door creaked open above him, and soft footsteps approached cautiously. It wasn't like Magnus was blocking the whole stairwell, so he made no efforts to move himself further or even look up for that matter. "Magnus?"

A soft voice broke his train of thought, luring him back into reality. He lifted his head slightly, regarding Alec with a plaintive stare before turning away. He didn't know what to say, he didn't think he even wanted to know what to say. Alec swiftly moved forward, sitting himself beside Magnus. Hesitantly he takes Magnus' hand, lacing his fingers through it. "I'm sorry." He murmured, leaning down to kiss the back of Magnus's hand. Magnus turned to view Alec, his eyes questioning the Shadowhunter. Alec was always painfully endearing, it was hard to harbor anger over him.

Magnus sighed in frustration before leaning over and kissing the boy softly, his anger swiftly vanishing in that one act of love. Alec was thoroughly shocked by this but enjoyed it nevertheless, returning the kiss happily as his free hand went up to furl through Magnus' hair. Magnus pulled back, eyes burning with adoration as he overlooked Alec. "It's fine." He finally spoke, his voice coming out hoarse and thick with shame. "It was my fault." He amended, drawing himself away from Alec. "I knew you two didn't like each other, I should've not forced it."

Alec shook his head, reaching out his hand to turn Magnus back to look at him. "No, your intentions were golden, it was just us. We made a truce, its not fair to make you have to choose. He's sorry too, but he left. He didn't want to overwhelm you." Alec spoke softly, reaching out to tenderly stroke Magnus's arm. Magnus accepted this attention, leaning his body closer to Alec's until his head rested on top of Alec's shoulder. "I love you." He mumbled, just because he felt like speaking it.

Alec leaned down to kiss Magnus atop his head, a smile curving up his lips. "I love you too."
