Dog

"Magnus can we keep her? Please?" Alec asked looking up from the stray dog to his boyfriend who was eyeing the dog distrustfully

"Alec no, what about Chairman? How do you think he's going to react to having her around?" Magnus asked and Alec pouted

"He'll adapt, she's only a young dog Mags. Please, at least give her a week. If it's still a no then I'll find her another home" Alec bargained and the warlock sighed softly

"Fine but only one week, that's it" he said and the dog and his boyfriend looked at him happily.

As it turned out, she only needed two days to get along with Chairman and the next day Magnus agreed she could stay full time after seeing Chairman sleeping on top of her on her bed

Rain

Alec had always hated the rain, when Magnus was away on jobs or when he was training at the institute with Clary, Jace or Izzy. It always seemed to make time go slower, or maybe the loud 'pit pat pit pat' of it hitting the roof made Alec's focus slip and thus made him notice the time passing. One day however from Magnus's window he saw the Warlock walking in the rain to his apartment and Alec darted outside and kissed his soaking wet and very cold boyfriend, he ended up loving kissing Magnus in the rain and started loving the rain because hey he was always looking for excuses to kiss his boyfriend and when they were outside raining? It seemed a good reason as any and thus a tradition started between the two that if they were ever in the rain, they'd kiss.

Nerd

Alec spent most of his time sitting in the Library reading or helping people find information for whatever reason but he always had his nose buried in a book, didn't matter what kind of book it was-which kind of books he read on a daily basis depended on whether he was helping someone or not-so he was used to people calling him a nerd for simply remembering facts he'd read-even if the insult did still hurt-He was once again sitting in the Library on a free period minding his own business when

"Hey nerd, what are you beautiful eyes reading this time?" A voice asked and Alec looked up and saw a very beautiful boy with magnificent eyes and a amazing smile to match, that's when his crush on Magnus Bane began and suddenly the word 'nerd' didn't seem so bad anymore. After all, if he didn't read so many books and knew so much. Why would a guy like Magnus ask him for help in the first place?

Football

Magnus wasn't much of a sport person but unfortunately for him, it was compulsory at his school. Out of the options of the teams he could join he picked football, he would probably just get put on the side lines so he probably wouldn't have to play. When his first sport lesson came round at the end of the day, he knew he'd picked a good team. Not because of the people there, he barely knew any of their names but one of the two boys talking to the couch was hot. He had gorgeous black locks that he had to brush away from his eyes as he talked and bright blue eyes, the two jogged over and the blonde haired one-who just oozed arrogance- started talking about team spirit and the like. To be truthful he wasn't paying attention, he was too busy staring at blue eyes.

"Now!, I'm Jace and this is my brother and co-captain Alec we'll be dividing you into two teams and we'll work with a team each and see what you can do. After a few weeks we'll know the strengths and weaknesses of you all and sort you into better groups. Jordyn, Simon, Bat, Jonathan and Sebastian you're on my team for now. The rest of you are with Alec! My team follow me"

The names Jace had called out followed him to the other side of the field while Alec grabbed the bag at his feet and passed out the footballs to everyone but Raphael who went and found someone in the shade to sit down, that was typical of Raphael but it was one of the reasons Magnus was friends with him.

"Hi" Alec said shyly before he cleared his throat "Like Jace said I'm Alec and you are?"

"Mark" the blonde haired boy said

"I'm Decan" the other boy next to Magnus said and Magnus cleared his throat

"And I'm Magnus, also that's Raphael" Magnus said gesturing over to where his friend now had his back against a tree with his eyes closed making it look like he'd fallen asleep

"Nice to meet you all and thank you" Alec said nodding his head at Magnus before he started practice, it was the basic stuff. Kicking the ball and hand passing it, Mark and Decan got paired up and Magnus got put with Alec. Magnus was alright at the strength part of it but his accuracy was off so Alec came and stood by him and started showing him piece by piece how to aim the ball when kicking and hand passing it. Soon the hour was up and the bell rang as school finished and Magnus was tired, he got sent to grab the football Mark and Decan had been using and he put the two footballs into the bag Alec got them out of and jogged over to where Alec was packing up the goals.

"Here, let me help" Magnus said putting the bag down and he and Alec managed to put the goals into the sports shed and he grabbed the bag and put it where it needed to go while Alec waited for him and they both walked to the lockers where their bags were

"You got better at aiming by the end of today so great job" Alec said with a small smile and Magnus smiled back

"Thanks but it could use some more work, do you think you'd be able to come round to the pitch round my place and we could practice?" Magnus suggested and Alec blushed before he nodded

"S-Sure, sounds great" he said as he opened his locker and he grabbed the small notebook he had and a pen and he wrote down his number while Magnus grabbed his own bag and he tapped Magnus shoulder and held out the note and Magnus grinned and slipped the note into his pocket

"Thanks Alec, see you tomorrow?" Magnus questioned and Alec nodded

"See you tomorrow" he agreed and Magnus smiled before he walked out of the locker rooms and started heading home, oh this year was going to be a good year.

Potions

"That's too much" A voice said from behind Alec and the blue haired boy almost jumped in surprise and he looked at the boy who had spoke and he pointed to the dusted spider fangs Alec had on his spoon "Only half a spoon no a shovelful"

"O-Oh, thank you" Alec said shyly as he blushed and he emptied his spoon into the bowl that had the crushed fangs and he scooped up half a spoonful and he put it in the potions, there was a reason he partnered up with Simon in Potions class. He wasn't very good at it, the boy who had spoken nodded and went back to stirring his cauldron "I-I'm Alec b-by the way, w-who are y-you?"

"Magnus, nice to meet a cute boy in the middle of a boring class like this" Magnus said winking at Alec and the pale skinned boy just blushed darker causing Magnus to chuckle and he put some of his potion in a vial and put the cork top on it and put it in his holder before turning to face Alec who was looking over the recipe for the potion "Here, want me to help?"

All Alec did was nod and Magnus smiled and the two of them started working on the potion together, Magnus was read part of the ingredients name and when Alec needed to do with it and Alec did it. When Alec messed up, Magnus calmed him down and just told him to start that step over again. When the hour was up, Alec had made the potion by himself with Magnus standing over him.

"See told you practice makes perfect" Magnus said smiling and Alec smiled shyly back

"T-Thanks for helping me m-make the practice p-potions" he stuttered and Magnus chuckled softly

"Your welcome, now let's go hand these up to the teacher and go get lunch. I'm starving" He said and the two of them handed in their finished potions and walked out of the classroom, books in hand on the way to the lunch hall in a comfortable silence.

Movies

"So your telling me that you've never seen a movie before?" Magnus asked and Alec gave him a sheepish smile "Well we have to fix that!"

Alec watched Magnus get up from the canary yellow couch they had been sitting on and he went over and put a movie into the DVD player before he sat back down, clicked his fingers making the lights turn off, the DVD start playing and snacks from the shopping bags that were on the dinning table appear on the coffee table. Alec was slightly confused but he went with it and got comfortable, soon the familiar starting song of the Lion King was playing and Alec's eyes stayed glued to the screen as the movie played.

After Scar let Mufasa fall to his death, Magnus glanced at Alec for a reaction and saw silent tears leaking down his boyfriend's face and he gathered him in his arms and stroked his hair with one hand while wiping away the tears with the other and Alec tilted his head back to look at the taller male, he hadn't even realized he'd been crying. Magnus gave him a soft smile and he kissed his noise before gesturing back to the movie, they continued watching and Magnus wiped away Alec's tears at the scene where Simba found his father. By the end of the movie Alec was fully recovered from the sad parts and had ended up laughing along with Magnus at the funny parts, he looked at Magnus when the movie ended and he saw Magnus hopefully expression and Alec brushed his lips against Magnus's

"I loved it, it was sad but funny. Best first movie ever" he said and Magnus's face broke into a grin. A few days after the lion king movie, Magnus heard Alec humming the 'akuna matata' song as he made breakfast and he decided tat day that he'd get Alec to watch the second lion King movie to see what the other thought of it.
