A/N: This is for Day 6 - Switch. This is also posted on Ao3 and tumblr.
Magnus was walking back home to his boyfriend's apartment from the Institute after a day of training. His boyfriend, Alec, was the High Warlock of Brooklyn, and over 400 years old. He had just gotten back from his evening demon patrol through Manhattan, and had just enough time to change into a better outfit before heading out.
When Magnus walked through the door, he saw Alec frantically cooking something on the stove while using his magic to set the table.
"Take it easy, darling, there really is no rush." Magnus said, startling Alec.
"Magnus, you scared me! I guess I am getting a little ahead of myself. I wanted to surprise you." Alec said. He hasn't been in a relation in over 100 years, so he was a little rusty with relationships.
"That's very kind of you, Alexander, you didn't have to go through all this trouble just to surprise me. What did you make?"
"I made this special dish from the area of Italy where I was born. I think you're gonna like it." Alec said with a smirk. "You're outfit really makes your runes stand out. Did you do that on purpose?"
"Hmm, maybe I did, maybe I didn't. Maybe I just love this outfit."
"Alright, Shadowhunter, let's sit down and eat." Alec said, continuing to use his magic to set the table.
"You're going to burn out your magic if you keep doing that, you know."
"Yeah, but it's a lot more fun. Why use your hands if you can use magic?"
So, the two of them sat down to eat. Alec continued to insist that Magnus purposefully chose the outfit that he did to show off his runes, and Magnus continued to insist that Alec stop using his magic for every single task.
