Alec had pins and needles in his arm. That was the first sensation he felt as he woke up groggily. His other senses kicked in and he heard a noise next to him, and could smell a deep woody scent. His eyes opened very slowly and he craned his neck to the left to investigate. He was met with a head of black hair. Then his memories came back to him from the previous evening and Alec smiled.
That was the most amazing blow job he'd ever had and Magnus was now lying with his head in the crook of his arm and curled into Alec's side. There honestly couldn't have been anything that would make Alec wake up happier at that moment in time. Aside from maybe not having pins and needles.
Alec shifted on to his side so he was facing Magnus and tried to adjust his arm slightly so it was more underneath Magnus' neck rather than his face. It couldn't have been comfortable for him either. Magnus rolled so that his head was on the pillow instead and Alec quickly pulled his arm away not wanting to wake Magnus up. Alec turned onto his back again, flopped his arm down to his side hoping to get the blood flowing in it and then turned his head to face Magnus.
He looked so peaceful, his eyes closed and mouth slightly open. Alec couldn't resist running his hand softly down the side of his face. Magnus stirred slightly but didn't wake. Alec looked at the clock and realised it was only 8am, so decided to try to sleep more, he was usually up at this time with Max so he was going to make the most of it. Besides his body ached from all the dancing and also probably more so the fight he had gotten into. He closed his eyes, linked his hand with Magnus' and drifted off to sleep again.
An indeterminable amount of time later Alec felt something brush against his cheek and shook his head slightly because it was a little tickly. He stretched and then opened his eyes and looked down so blue met green.
"Morning Blue Eyes." Magnus said softly. Alec smiled at Magnus and murmured "morning" in reply and then brought his arm round Magnus back and pulled him into him. Magnus' response was to place butterfly kisses all along Alec's pec. Alec's eyes drifted closed again so Magnus leant up on his elbow and trailed his fingers of the other hand down Alec's side softly.
"Come on sleepy head... it's nearly 11….we should probably get up." Magnus said between further little kisses up to Alec's shoulder. Alec grumbled quietly, his eyes still closed but then slowly let his hand drop from around Magnus' back and pushed himself up so he was more upright against the headboard. Magnus moved with Alec so he was also sitting up.
"How do you feel?" Magnus asked. Alec peeped across at Magnus from where he still had his eyes closed, head resting against the headboard and replied "Mmm, marvelous thank you. That was the best birthday ever and it was all down to you" as he sat up properly, stretched his arms above his head and shifted so he was looking at Magnus straight on. He cocked an eyebrow and finished with "and your mouth" before pulling Magnus forward by his chin and guiding his mouth to meet his.
Alec nudged Magnus' mouth open with his tongue and pulled him across the bed by his hips so he was straddling him. Magnus let this happen for a minute or so but then pulled away from Alec.
"Not really what I meant but I am glad you enjoyed it. What I actually meant was how do you feel after the fight, does anything hurt really bad?" Magnus inquired.
"My cheek hurts a bit but I'm fine." Alec spat out quickly, then resumed their kissing, placing his hand behind Magnus' neck. Magnus gave in, he had already decided he loved kissing Alec, the feel of their tongues caressing and the noises they made along with the need to somehow be touching each other.
Alec's hand stroked softly down the curve of Magnus' back and he arched his own hips into him, their morning wood grazing.
"No, come on. We need to get up" Magnus said pointing his finger into Alec's bare chest. "I'm gonna shower, then we're going to see our boys." Magnus commanded and got off Alec and waltzed towards the open ensuite door. Alec got up quickly, trying but failing to pull Magnus back towards the bed then begrudgingly followed Magnus into the bathroom.
"Okay fine, but let me join you in the shower. I need one too." Alec almost begged.
"Alright but no funny business." Magnus agreed.
There was a little bit of funny business, but then again they both had morning wood and their make out session hadn't helped. After their shower, Alec brushed his teeth as Magnus went back into the bedroom to get dressed. Alec threw some clothes on when he'd dried off and offered Magnus a fresh t-shirt.
"Uhhh, I'm okay. I don't think they'd fit me properly and no offence but all I saw in your drawer just then was grey and brown and black. All colours I'm not partial to." Magnus laughed out.
"Okay you only wear colour, got it. Let's just go have a quick coffee then we can head off." Alec suggested, grabbing Magnus' hand and opening his bedroom door. As he lifted his head he was met with a mess of orange hair and pale skin. In Jace's shirt from last night.
"Clary?!" Alec shrieked in surprise. She just froze like a deer caught in headlights until her eyes spied Magnus; who was trying to hide behind Alec. "Magnus?!" Clary returned in the same voice but with a hint of sarcasm.
"No, no, no! Don't turn this back on us, why are you wearing Jace's shirt? … hang on, did you sleep with him?" Alec asked straight up.
"Uh... yea.. maybe" Clary squeaked out with her head down and her cheeks turning rosy. Alec stuttered trying to think how to respond whilst also still attempting to process what he was seeing.
"What! Your brother is hot!" Clary tried to justify. "Anyway, what is he doing here this early in the morning? And what happened to your face?" gesturing to Magnus and then waving her hand in Alec's face.
"It's not early in the morning, it's 11.30! And don't worry about my face, it's fine" Alec protested. Clary however, wasn't having any of it and she just looked at Magnus for her answers instead.
Magnus stepped out from behind Alec and Clary's gaze darted down to their connected hands. "Uhh, well this guy dragged me out the club and was being forceful with me and Alec pulled him off me and beat him up." Magnus explained.
"So you repaid him with sex?" Clary challenged, with a smirk on her face, looking straight at Alec again.
"No! We didn't have sex, uhm… Ugh I'm a grown man I don't need to answer your questions." Alec retaliated then just tugged Magnus' hand to follow him down the stairs. He heard Clary giggling as she closed the bathroom door.
They had a quick breakfast of toast and coffee, with Alec proudly using his new mug. Magnus was, of course, delighted at that. Then they were out the door, on their way to Magnus'. The car ride was in a comfortable silence until Magnus piped up "So, that wasn't just like a one time thing right?"
"No, no way. I-I...uhm, I really like you Magnus. Getting to know you properly over the last couple of months has made me realise that you're good for me... and for Max." Alec replied somewhat nervously.
"Okay, I just wanted to check... I really like you too Alec." Magnus reciprocated as he placed his hand over Alec's.
They pulled into Magnus' drive and walked up to the door hand in hand until Magnus had to get his keys out of his jacket pocket and open the door. It was nealry 1pm by that point so they knew the boys might be either eating lunch or down for a nap. There was no shouting or general noise so they assumed they were napping. They walked through to the kitchen to find Magnus' mum washing a cup in the sink.
"Hey Ma, thanks for looking after the boys." Magnus said strolling up to his mum and placing his arm around her.
"No problem honey. They're both asleep upstairs right now. They had a busy morning, I took them to the park." Cathy explained, now drying the cup.
"Ah thanks, bet they loved that." Magnus replied as he stepped away. Cathy put the cup she had just dried away in the cupboard, turned round and then gasped "Alec, honey, your face!"
"Oh, no I'm okay really, it looks worse than it is." Alec tried to convince her but the look on her face just got worse as she came closer.
"No, come here. Let me see. What happened?" she fussed as she brought her hand up to Alec's cheek.
"Ma, I cleaned it already yesterday, the bruising has just come out overnight so it looks bad." Magnus explained whilst he just pulled his mum's wrist away from Alec's face gently.
"I see so that's where you've been. Well, as long as you're both okay" Cathy said eying them both with raised brows.
"Ma, we're fine. Alec just rescued me from some jerk who couldn't take no for an answer." Magnus said ignoring his mum's comment about where he'd been. She'd had many times before where he hadn't come home, she wasn't some old clueless woman. Magnus looked to Alec and saw his scarlet cheeks.
"Anyway, thank you so much for looking after them, you can go home and rest now." Magnus urged, steering his mum out of the kitchen and towards the front door.
"Okay, well I know when I'm in the way. I'll see you later" she said pulling her coat off the hook. Magnus hugged her and practically forced her out the door.
"Sorry about that, she can be a bit overbearing sometimes." Magnus apologised to Alec after he'd shut the door and was walking back towards him.
"No, don't be silly. It's sweet she cares." Alec replied, thinking that his mum wouldn't have been concerned at all if it was one of his friends that had a cut up face.
"Yea, she really does care. She likes you." Magnus told Alec as he pulled him along by his hand into the kitchen and started rooting through the fridge.
"Do you want some lunch? Or a drink?" Magnus asked Alec.
"Yea, sure, just something easy is good. And a glass of water would be great. I think the hangover is rearing its head."
Magnus poured two glasses of water, handing one to Alec then whipped up a couple of ham sandwiches within a few minutes. Magnus handed Alec a plate and then said he was going to go upstairs to put some more fresh clothes on before he ate, considering he still had the shirt and skin tight jeans on from the night before. He wandered off upstairs into his room and went over to his wardrobe to take out a looser pair of jeans and a t-shirt. When he turned round Alec had appeared.
"Hey, I...err thought I could help you." Alec said unsurely but with the sexiest tone he could manage, as he walked over to Magnus.
"Alec. I'm 24, not 3 like Max, I can dress myself." Magnus said frankly, not really cottoning on to Alec's suggestiveness.
"Well, yea I know, but this is more fun" Alec replied as he pulled Magnus towards him by his belt loops. Not waiting for a response, he launched his mouth onto Magnus' and then started fiddling with the buttons at the bottom of Magnus' shirt.
Magnus squeaked as Alec bit his bottom lip whilst pushing him towards the nearest wall. As they reached the wall, Alec released his hands from Magnus's shirt, took both Magnus' hands from his sides and held them above his head against the wall. He moved both Magnus' hands in to one, and resumed his unbuttoning, as his tongue fought with Magnus'.
Magnus' shirt was quickly undone and Alec pulled away from Magnus' mouth to trail soft kisses down his neck as he lowered Magnus' arms and slipped the shirt over his shoulders. Magnus pulled one sleeve over his hand at a time as Alec's soft kissing turned into sucking when he reached the bottom of Magnus' neck.
Magnus breathily moaned Alec's name and then brought Alec's head back up to meet his mouth. Alec moved his hands from where they were gripping Magnus' now bare waist down to the button on his jeans.
"Uh uh, nope. You aren't getting in my pants again until you've taken me on a proper date." Magnus asserted as he pushed Alec away from him gently. Before Alec could process what had happened Magnus was halfway across the room grabbing his fresh jeans from the bed and as Alec opened his eyes and turned round all he saw was a flash of caramel skin and then heard a lock engage. He groaned quietly in frustration, he was basically a teenage boy after all, and trudged back downstairs after poking his head into Finn's room to check on the boys. At least Magnus had mentioned a date!
They ate their sandwiches at the small kitchen table and told each other about their Christmases, as they hadn't really had a proper chance to do that yet. Then they moved to the lounge and Magnus put some fashion documentary on which Alec wasn't particularly interested in, so he just pulled Magnus to him, so his chest was against Magnus' back and fell asleep. The water and food hadn't exactly cured his hangover. Not that it was too bad, he had had seven or eight beers which wasn't usually enough to give him a killer hangover but he did still have a bit of a headache.
The next thing he knew Max and Finn were standing in front of them shouting "Daddy" and "Alec" over and over again and prodding them. Magnus draped his legs off the sofa and then sat up causing Alec's arm to fall away and there to be space for Max and Finn to climb onto the sofa. Alec was awake now, and he grabbed the nearest boy to him and tickled. High pitched squeals resonated round the room and Magnus then grabbed Max and tickled him too so he didn't feel left out.
Eventually the boys wriggled so much that Magnus and Alec had to put them on the floor for fear of dropping them and they scurried off away continuing to giggle. Magnus looked down at Alec put his hand on his chest and said quietly "Maybe we should be more careful, luckily your hand was just around my chest this time."
Alec nodded and then said aloud "Thinking about it they probably just thought we were top and tailing like they do."
Alec sat up too, downed the rest of his glass of water and then thought about leaving. He didn't really want to but he also didn't want to come across as clingy or something. Besides he should get Max home. He told Magnus he would get out of his hair shortly, to which Magnus just tutted and said he was always welcome.
"Come on Max, time to go home." Alec called as he stood up. Max ran over to Alec and pulled him by the hand to the front door where his shoes were. Alec crouched down to help him put his shoes on, checked everything was in his spiderman backpack and then put his coat on him. Finn launched himself at Max when Alec was finished and gave him a big hug. Magnus took that moment whilst the boys were occupied to lean over them and give Alec a brief kiss on the lips.
Alec opened the front door and guided Max out, telling Magnus and Finn to stay inside as it was cold out. Before Magnus closed the door behind them he called a quick bye to Max who had walked off ahead ready to get in the car and a much quieter "See you later gorgeous" to Alec, who just turned round with a grin on his face before he followed Max to the car.

When he got home there was no sign of Clary and apparently not of Izzy either. He set Max up with a colouring book at the dining table and sat down with Jace and a cup of coffee.
"So Clary huh?" Alec started. Jace didn't even look up from his phone but just replied with a simple "Yea, she's hot." One night stands or flings were much more Jace's style than Alec's.
Alec eyed Jace from across the table and said "She's my friend, don't hurt her." Jace just scoffed and replied "You don't need to worry, she was the one that told me it was a one time thing cos I was at college and she just wanted some new years eve fun." Alec laughed at that, that sounded about right, Clary was not the damsel in distress type.
"Yea, she can be a feisty one." which caused Jace to laugh too. Alec sipped at his coffee letting the warmth go through him and the caffeine seep into his bloodstream. Just as Alec reached the bottom of his mug the door opened and Izzy walked in wearing last night's bright red dress. Alec and Jace looked up at the same time, Alec's a face of horror and Jace with a smirk.
"So all three of us got laid last night then." Jace chuckled out. Both Izzy and Alec turned to Jace shouting "What?" at the same time. Jace looked between the two of them, and started to explain "Well Izzy you're wearing last night's outfit and coming in at a nearly 4pm. I got with Clary and you slept with Magnus." Jace finished gesturing to Alec.
"You slept with Magnus?" Izzy shrieked at the same time Alec very loudly denied it.
"That's not what Clary told me." Jace retorted.
"Well she's wrong, cos I didn't sleep with Magnus." Alec reiterated.
"Why are you being so defensive Alec?" Izzy said as she walked over to him and poked his shoulder. Alec just batted her hand away and scowled.
"Yea Alec, why are you being so defensive? And why would Clary lie to me about seeing Magnus coming out of your bedroom with you this morning?" Jace continued tormenting Alec and joined in the poking from across the table. It was like when they were all young kids and just wanted to annoy each other and get a rise out of one another.
"Okay, okay fine. I didn't sleep with Magnus but he did stay over" Alec admitted.
"Ooooh, did you guys actually just sleep orrr..? You're blushing Alec! Come on spill." Izzy squealed.
"No" Alec replied and pretended to drink more of his already finished coffee.
"Oh come on, you know I won't leave you alone until you tell me what happened" Izzy pushed.
"Fine... I got a blow job" Alec mumbled under his breath, he knew Izzy could easily sit there for an hour nagging until she got the info out of him, he may as well just skip that part.
"What was that Alec? You got a blow job?" Jace teased. "And how was it?" Izzy interrogated.
"Amazing. Now let's stop talking about it." Alec grumbled.
"About time, there had been so much sexual tension around you two it was gonna come to a head at some point." Izzy congratulated.
"Ha, come to a head. Nice one Iz" Jace chuckled as he looked back down at his phone. Then looked back up again "Anyway, who did you sleep with? I just lost you in the club, had no idea where you went. Then I got distracted with Clary." Jace questioned.
"Oh my god, I met the most incredible guy. He treats me so nicely, he even took me out for brunch before he walked me back here." Izzy gushed. Alec just got up as Izzy started talking about her experience the night before, it was his younger sister he didn't really need to know the amount of detail she was bound to go into. As long as she was happy and safe it was fine.

That night when Alec was in bed, he decided to text Magnus. He really wanted to reassure him that he wasn't going to freak out again.
I really enjoyed our night (and morning) together. So an actual date soon? x
Alec's phone buzzed pretty much straight away and he looked at it eagerly.
Me too Blue Eyes. Thank you again for being my sexy knight in shining armour. Yes an actual date! Otherwise no more hanky panky x
Alec laughed at that, Magnus was so flamboyant sometimes. It was something he really liked about him, part of his personality.
I guess I'll get my act together then ;) x
They texted a little while longer then Magnus called it a night as he had to be up early for a meeting in the morning. Alec fell asleep easily and dreamt of ideas for his and Magnus' first date.
