Magnus had very few rules in this relationship. He had very few things that made him truly furious, and Alec knew them all. He knew everything that upset his lover, and absolutely loved pushing his limits. He enjoyed watching Magnus rage, it was a guilty pleasure that Alec never admitted aloud. Still he was a shy boy, and he wouldn't speak any of his turn-ons to Magnus, Magnus made Alec uncomfortable through talks like that. So instead Alec enjoyed pushing him into the moments unconsciously then taking advantage from there. Today was just like those other days, Magnus was droning on and on about how expensive his newest designer shirt was, twirling before the bedroom mirror.

The shirt was dark violet with flowery sleeves decored in dark shimmering glitter. Magnus looked ecstatic, his face all lit up as he gushed and gushed over the lovely look of it, normally that was enough to make Alec faint. To sit back sprawled in a seat and watch Magnus like this, so happy and carefree. And for a brief moment Alec allowed himself to do that. His eyes trailed fondly over Magnus, his hand raising to cover his smile. Magnus was every bit as breathtaking as the first moment he'd seen him, if not more. But Alec was upset today and had pent up anger he'd like to release, and his favorite way of doing so was making Magnus just as angry. "Magnus." He breathed in a throaty voice, pushing himself up from his seat to cross over to Magnus.

Magnus ceased his talking, glancing over to Alec surprised. "Hmm?" Alec spared no seconds to slam Magnus up against a wall, purposely digging his nails into the shirt and crinkling it up. Magnus looked appalled. "A-Alec! The shirt! Stop!" Alec ignored him. "Mm-hmm." Before Magnus could protest anymore, Alec slammed his lips against Magnus'. Magnus struggled slightly, trying to fight off the urge to sink into the kiss. Magnus pushed back on his shoulders, eyes widening. " Alec come on you know how I feel about you crumpling designer shirts!"

Alec chuckled to himself, leaning up to kiss up his lovers neck. Magnus wasn't normally easily persuaded, but it was hard to be so upset with someone eagerly assaulting his throat. Alec continued to bite and suck along the length of Magnus's throat, earning stifled moans and deep scratches along his exposed arms. Magnus breathed in statically, heart pounding as he gripped Alec's shoulders in a futile attempt to shove him away. "W-Why are you doing this?" Alec ignored him again, pulling back from Magnus to tear open his shirt. The startled disbelieving look on Magnus's face was even more pleasing than Alec expected, and shortly he shrugged. "I don't know, why not?"

Magnus looked momentarily at a loss for words as Alec slammed his lips against Magnus's again, feeling his muscles tense from through the thin fabric of the remaining shirt. Magnus groaned before shoving Alec off of him. Eyes blazing furiously as he eyed his tattered shirt. "This shirt cost so much money." He growled, and Alec felt his heart flop. Magnus looked tense and furious, something Alec enjoyed overlooking.

"Are you going to punish me for it?" Alec asked breathlessly, eyes fluttering shut briefly.

"Of course I am." Gripping the front of Alec's shirt, he yanks him forward and hauls him off into the bedroom to receive his 'punishment'.

It was an absolutely awful day, rain pouring viciously from the sky and slamming down against the Institute's roof. The thundering couldn't drone out Alec's thoughts, and suddenly he had the fiery urge to upset Magnus again. This time not for sexual thrill, but just for the thrill of seeing Magnus freak out, it was funny as well as enthralling to see Magnus behave that way, and then Alec made up his mind. Standing up he heads towards the exit of the Institute before he was firstly stopped. Before him stood the redheaded wonder that was Clary Fairchild. Her eyes narrowed slightly before she smiled brightly, holding out her paper childishly. Clary and Alec bonded a lot, they were secretly good enough friends. She looked up to Alec, she was much shorter than him, before she began speaking. " Alec! We're still drawing together right?"

Alec was a terrible artist, the worst he'd ever known, but he always promised to help and spend time with Clary mainly because they were friends. He enjoyed making her smile, and he believed that Jace didn't spend enough time with her. But today wasn't his day. "Uh, I'm sorry, I'm busy today. Can I re-schedule for tomorrow night?" Clary nodded, still smiling. It made him feel worse that she would always accept every single thing that happened, but Alec still wanted to go. "Yeah, of course. I'll go visit Simon, he's hanging out with Raphael right now anyways."

Alec smiled affectionately, gently patting her arm. "Thanks Clary, I owe you one." Clary nodded, grinning happily before walking off. "Damn straight you do." Alec grinned, waltzing off to make it to the exit, but he was blocked once again by the extraordinary blonde haired Shadowhunter.

"Alexander Gideon Lightwood. Where are you headed off to?" Alec internally cursed himself, furiously eyeing the male before him. "Jace. I'm going to take a walk."

Jace looked incredulous. "In the rain?"

"Yeah. Why?"

Jace shook his head, hair falling before his golden eyes. He looked disbelieving as he moved to push his disheveled hair from his face. "Because you could catch a pneumonia."

Alec chuckled as he weaved his fingers through his own hair, gently pushing it back from his azure gaze. "That's what you're worried over?"

"Why are you leaving actually?!" Jace countered, stepping closer to Alec with narrowed, suspicious eyes. Alec shrugged, looking off to the side. "I might stop by to visit Magnus, but so what?!"

Jace shook his head, genuinely upset. "Don't you think you're spending too much time with him? I mean, he's still Magnus, nowhere near how incredible I am."

Alec laughed, pushing Jace aside as he reached for the door. "You're right Jace." Alec jested teasingly. "Nobody can match your stature." Before Jace could ask anything more or retort or prevent Alec from reaching his destination, he set foot outside. The rain was freezing and pounded down against Alec's not nearly covered enough shoulders. He hadn't gotten a jacket, or an umbrella- seeing as he had his fear of umbrellas- so instead he trudged through the puddles in nothing more than a faded black woolen sweater, which soaked up rain like a sponge, black combat boots, and black jeans which clung to his form as soon as the rain began pelting him. His hair plastered itself against his forehead, falling into his eyes in annoying ways. Alec huffed against the cold, keeping up a fast pace.

Despite Jace's reasoning, he was still right, Alec could get severely sick if out here too long. He reached the subway in no time, hopping onto a train and awaiting his arrival. He relaxed against the cold interior, eyes fluttering shut briefly. Maybe deciding to upset Magnus wasn't such a good idea after all. Alec shrugged aside his thoughts and focused instead on how pleasing it would be to test Magnus's pet peeves. He was always so sound and secure with Alec, so Alec wanted to see if there was anything he could do to truly upset him. There had to be something, and these were his greatest issues, Alec causing them had to upset him.

The subway skidded to a halt, passerby's pulling out their umbrellas as they prepared to set foot out in the awful weather. Alec made certain to beeline away from everyone and instead jogged the rest of the way to Magnus's apartment. The rain had begun to slam harder into the concrete, Alec feeling it begin to sting and burn his eyes as he made it to Magnus's house. Swiping the key from his pocket, he hastily swings open the door before clambering up the stairs. He didn't want to take long, sure he wouldn't be dry, but he enjoyed being this soaking. Pushing open Magnus's own door to his loft, Alec quickly crosses the room to the kitchen. Magnus was in there, cat eyes narrowed as he fiddled with the coffee machine, he'd never truly learned how to use it.

Silently, like a panther stalking its prey, Alec snuck up behind him and wrapped his strong arms around Magnus from behind. Initially Alec had expected Magnus to panic, which he did. Magnus let out a yell as he struggled in Alec's grasp. Alec lifted one hand and clamped it over his lovers mouth, chuckling to himself. "Magnus!" Alec whispered, breath hit against his ear. "Calm down. It's just me!"

Magnus relaxed momentarily before he struggled once more, shoving Alec back as he squealed in disgust. " Alec you're wet!" Alec grinned, a grin that touched both his ears, one that spelled out 'only mischief'. "So? Does that bother you darling?" Alec took a purposeful step forward as Magnus backed himself into the counter, eyes wide and furious. "You know it does!" Magnus shouted, moving further against the counter until he was basically on top of it.

Alec clicked his tongue before closing the distance between him and Magnus, his arms wrapping around him tightly. Magnus yelled and struggled to get free, but Alec was a Shadowhunter, he was trained to force Downworlders into submission. That thought sent a blush spiraling up to his cheeks but he shoved aside temptations. "Hush my love, I like the water, you should like it just as much."

Magnus shook his head, pushing against Alec as he struggled. "A-Alec stop please!" Alec nuzzled his nose into Magnus's neck, relishing in the warmth from his skin. Despite the circumstances, and his obvious knowing that Magnus wouldn't like the soaking wet Alec, Alec couldn't help but feel comfortable near Magnus. Suddenly the joking mood dropped and Alec melted into him. "I missed you." He murmured against Magnus's skin.

Magnus froze, eyes softening as Alec began releasing Magnus from the grip. Magnus sighed. "Come here." Magnus slipped his arms free, gently stroking Alec's hair back. His fingers fizzled with blue sparks, hands magically drying Alec. Alec hummed happily, head leaning back as Magnus weaved his fingers through his sopping hair to dry him. Magnus leaned forward, pressing his lips gently on Alec's wet throat, his tongue slithering out to lap at the droplets. Alec shivered, his fingers fisting at Magnus's hair, eyes fluttering shut. Magnus pushed his fingers up Alec's shirt, fingers gingerly dusting across his chest, drying him efficiently. Alec sighed happily, as an attempt at speaking turned into a light groan. Magnus pushed off the counter, switching the positions to push Alec into it instead. "Take your shirt off." Magnus whispered, his lips still trailing along Alec's neck. Alec struggled to focus properly, his hands reaching to pull up his woolen sweater. Magnus broke away from Alec to allow him to successfully pull off his shirt before once again Alec was being kissed.

It was a soft and gentle kiss something that made Alec's heart race with glee. Something he hadn't really expected, he'd just arrived soaking wet and forced that wetness onto the king of dry. Magnus was supposed to be furious, not accepting. It sounded odd that Alec was this flustered that his boyfriend was accepting of everything he did, but it was true. Alec pulled away from Magnus, Magnus kissing Alec along the neck as he spoke. "J-Jace questioned me heavily before I could leave."

"Mmm?" Magnus hummed against Alec's throat, teeth sinking down gently on his sweet spot. "Y-Yeah-" Alec broke off with a moan, his head leaning back as his eyes closed, fingers holding onto Magnus's shoulders tightly. "He didn't w-want me out in th-the rain." Magnus chuckled, pulling back and eyeing Alec with that always placed mischievous look in his eyes. "Smart parabatai. Rain water isn't healthy. You could get pneumonia."

Alec laughed, his head falling back again. "That's what Jace said!" Magnus looked irritated before he quickly lifted Alec up onto the counter. Alec flushed red leaning back from Magnus as he moved closer. "I'm not like Jace, Alexander, not at all."

Alec raised up an eyebrow, smirking slightly as he wrapped his arms around Magnus's neck. "Oh?" Alec asked, barely louder than a whisper.

"Should I prove it, Alexander?" Alec shuddered pleasurably as he feels Magnus trail his fingers along his inner thighs. "I could kiss your stamina rune, I bet Jace doesn't do that." Alec felt his eyes flutter at the thought before he gently pushed Magnus off. "Okay, let's go into the bedroom."

~~~~

It was a late night, Alec hadn't intended on leaving the Institute at all yet here he was, strolling through the darkened streets of New York. He was still caught up thinking about Magnus. Magnus just wouldn't ever actually be upset with Alec. It wasn't like Alec didn't greatly appreciate the angry sex that followed, he just wanted Magnus to actually punish him. Magnus would give Ragnor the silent treatment, or would sprinkle holy water onto Raphael when they upset him, but Alec was always just instantly forgiven, and Alec couldn't stand the favoritism. He got upset with Magnus at times and would punish him as he felt just, but Magnus wouldn't punish Alec, it was like he refused. "Alexander." A voice called out from the darkness, heavily accented. Alec glanced around, trying to find the body to which the voice belonged to. "Aqui"

Alec squinted against the darkness as a figure materialized from the shadows. Before him, dressed in a regular white short sleeved shirt and black jeans was Raphael Santiago. Alec spoke with him often, they got along and Raphael interested Alec in ways. He wasn't like Jace to an extent, but he was still like Jace. They were both handsome, cunning, sly, sarcastic, and naturally rude. The only thing was that Alec feared Raphael's stoic behavior wasn't some easy to put up facade and it ran deeper than expected. Alec approached Raphael, smiling a genuinely happy smile. "Hey Raphael, what are you doing here?"

Raphael dipped his head in acknowledgement, moving to walk beside Alec. "It is nighttime Alexander, I always choose to walk then." Alec felt foolish momentarily and he turned his gaze away to instead look at the floor. "I forgot, sorry." Raphael chuckled, pushing his fingers through his ebony hair to keep it out of his just as black eyes. A arrogant smirk twisted up his lips as he glanced at Alec from the corner of his eyes. "It is nothing to apologize for, Alexander, simply an honest mistake. no se preocupe" Raphael spoke Spanish a lot when near Alec, mostly because Alec didn't get on his case for it, to a small extent Alec enjoyed hearing Raphael accidentally mutter words in Spanish, it was like he didn't even realize he was speaking to someone not accustomed to the language, and Alec found it endearing. "Okay, so what are you doing walking with me then? Don't the other vampires get on you for traipsing about with a Shadowhunter?"

Raphael snorted, eyes widening as if Alec had just asked if he were actually black rather than Mexican. "Why would I care?! They work and belong to me, if any of them bring it up I simply kill them." Alec shuddered, he knew Raphael had a zero-tolerance policy, he also knew very well that Raphael made it absolutely clear his rules and the punishment for disturbing that. It was admirable yet also highly frightening to rule with such an iron fist, but Raphael wasn't afraid of people rising up to revolt against him- he believed he could take every and any vampire, and Alec didn't doubt that. The caramel skinned male looked towards Alec suspiciously, stretching before pausing his movements. "Alexander, why are you out here? Shouldn't you be with Bane?"

Alec shook his head vigorously. "No." He admitted sourly. "Magnus isn't ever angry with me."

"And that's... Bad?" Raphael arched a perfectly curved brow, his eyes locking with Alec's, dark and questioning but never revealing any emotion. "Yes!" Alec stressed, looking exasperated. "He treats you badly when upset and same with Ragnor, but no matter what I do he just forgives me instantly. Or has sex with me then forgives me." Raphael chuckled, crossing his arms stiffly across his chest. "Oh my Alexander." He drawled sarcastically. "That sounds just absolutely horrible. I do not envy you for that." Alec glared and shoved him playfully, crossing his own arms tightly. "Shut up. I'm serious. He treats me differently than anyone else, and I don't want special treatment."

Raphael just watched Alec quietly, trying to assess the situation through understanding eyes, but it was a difficult thing for him. He wasn't normally caught in any actual form of a long lasting relationship, he was more of the type for short hook-ups rather than anything else. Tilting his head slightly, he sighs and drops his hands at his sides. "I do not know Alexander, what does he love more than anything?"

"Glitter, aside from me, it's glitter." Raphael nodded, ruffling Alec's hair in a condescending manner. "Think Alexander." Alec sent him a glare before thinking deeply. Finally it clicked, and he had a plan. "I got it, thanks Raphael."

Raphael waved aside his thank-you's, eyes glancing around as if he were expecting someone to show, but he wasn't. Turning back to Alec, he smiles warmly. "This is odd Alexander, even for your usual standards of oddities." Raphael once again crossed his arms, which made him look more muscular than actuality, before turning to walk again, expecting Alec to just follow- which he did. "You just don't get it Raphael." Raphael glanced up to the sky, seeing it tinting with a lighter blue. "Amanecer, Dios." Alec understood those words fully. "Dawn is approaching, you should go." Raphael looked up to the sky, almost longingly. He probably hadn't seen a sunrise in years, but he bit back the urge to prolong any longer. Flashing Alec a wicked grin, he takes a step back. "It has been fun seeing you Alexander."

"Yeah-" Alec began, but Raphael had already vanished into the shadows once again. "You too..." Alec trailed off, allowing himself a momentary breath. He had to go see Magnus now.

If there was ever a thing that pissed Magnus off more, Alec wouldn't find it. Alec knew how Magnus adored glitter, how he basically worshiped the person to create glitter first. Everything Magnus wore had some sort of glitter on it, and normally Magnus tossed about glitter every single day. Alec didn't question it, nor was he ever made upset by it. He thought it was endearing and sweet that Magnus loved glitter so much. The thing is, it was the final pet peeve he was willing to press. The final one that Magnus had to be fully upset with Alec for. He couldn't allow this to end with sex again, he had to make Magnus truly angry with him, it seemed an impossible task at this moment.

Magnus was rushing around the apartment, eyes wide as he grasped his make-up and clothing. Alec watched, bemused. He had sprung into Magnus a surprise date, which was a lie, mainly because he wanted to watch Magnus rush around. Magnus looked perfectly fine at all moments of the day, but he never believed it. Magnus paused by the wall mirror, looking at his appearance as he flicked aside hair from his green speckled eyes. Raising up his sharpened eyeliner pencil, he begins drawing on his eyes, applying mascara and dark eye-shadow. "Honey, do you know where my glitter is?" He asked, not looking away from the mirror.

Alec nodded, picking up Magnus's most expensive and favorite glitter. "Yeah, this one?" The second Magnus glanced over, Alec dumped the entire container into the trash can, eyes never parting from Magnus's as he accomplished Magnus's greatest pet peeve. "Look." Alec stated with a smirk, dropping the empty bottle to the floor. "The trash can is all sparkly now."

Magnus froze, staring unmoving as he dropped his eyeliner pencil. "D-Did you just-?! W-Why did-?! ALEC!" He started to fume, eyes squeezing shut tightly as he clenched his fists at his sides. "Yes my love?" Magnus turned around and slammed his fist into the wall causing Alec to jump. "Dammit Alec! Why are you pushing me so much?! Why have you just constantly pushed and pulled at everything that upsets me?! What have I done to upset you?" Alec watched closely, seeing Magnus's muscles tense under his shirt and eyes blaze with fury. It was a sight to behold. "Wait." Magnus breathed, eyes cooling off before he stepped towards Alec. "Does my suffering turn you on?"

Alec felt his face flush as he stepped back, shaking his head. "N-No! Y-You're just never angry with me!"

"I get angry with you."

"Oh yeah? When?"

"Now. Especially now." Magnus took a step forward again, leaving no space between him and Alec. "The issue is, each time I've upset you, you always end up with sex. Why? Why don't you hold grudges over me?!"

Magnus looked at Alec closely, smiling genuinely. "Alexander, I love you. I drop every and anything you do wrong. It's natural for me. Would you rather I hold a grudge?"

"Yes! Just something other than instant forgiveness!"

Magnus chuckled slightly, shaking his head as he turned to go retrieve his eye-liner pencil. "Oh Alec, many people just enjoy my behavior if they're in my good graces." Alec rolled his eyes, crossing his arms stiffly. "Magnus."

"Whaaaat?" Magnus turned around to see Alec standing right behind him. "I want to be treated fairly, like the others. If Jace had done this-"

"He'd die. Point blank period."

"Listen Magnus!" Alec grabbed Magnus's face between his hands, eyes locking with Magnus's. "I just-" Magnus closed the distance, pressing his lips firmly to Alec's own. This momentarily stole all of Alec's breath away before he quickly reciprocated, forgetting all about the fact that he had tried to make Magnus angry. Magnus pulled back suddenly, leaving Alec yearning for more. "Okay, I'm leaving." Magnus turned around and headed off, Alec trailing after quickly. "W-Wait to where?"

Magnus shrugs. "I'm upset with you Alec, I'm punishing you now. You can't kiss me any longer." Closing himself into his bedroom, Magnus locks the door. Alec leaned his head against the door, a smile tugging up his lips. He had gotten what he had wanted, and couldn't for certain tell if he was upset or unbearably happy. He decided the latter held more truth.
