A\N: I decieded to try my hand at writing a NekoMagnus fic.I apologize in advance if its kinda bad or I stop writing it. (PS I've been on a TMI idea binge lately so that's the reason for all the fanfics that keep coming out lol.) I do not own the characters. Just some OC's.

2: Settling In

Alec stumbled out of his bedroom the next morning bleary eyed and tired. He poured himself a cup of coffee and took a long drink.

He walked over to the couch and found Magnus sprawled on his stomach, legs hanging off the end of the sofa, ears twitching every so often and tail peeking out under the blanket.

Alec reached down and stroke one ear softly. Silky smooth. It took him a minute to register the fact that Magnus was purring. The sound was low but loud.

He pulled his hand back and Magnus opened his eyes making him blush embarrassed.

"Sorry..." Alec apologized.

"Why?" Magnus asked confused as he sat up. His voice was still scratchy and rough.

Alec noticed he had lost his shirt in the middle of the night.

"I should've asked if I could pet your ears."

"I don't mind if you pet me...you're very gentle."

Alec nodded a little and drank some more of his coffee.

"Are you hungry? I need to run by the grocery store to pick up some more food, but I could make breakfast when I get back." Alec told him. "Or brunch."

"Really?" Magnus asked.

Alec nodded. "Anything you don't like or are allergic to?"

"Cinnamon...I'm allergic to cinnamon..." Magnus wrinkled his nose a bit.

"Got it...Feel free to explore or watch tv. I'll be back in a bit alright?"

Magnus nodded as Alec finished his coffee and pulled on a sweatshirt and grabbed his wallet and keys. He watched him leave and the sound of the lock turning and clicking.

Magnus found that the sound didn't bother him like it usually did. He liked this Alec. He was very kind and sweet. And pleasing to the eye.

Magnus stretched out on the couch and buried his face into the pillow as sleep once again called his name.

He awoke some time later to the sound of key in the lock and voices. Two voices. One he recognized and one he didn't.

His ears automatically flattened against his head and he tensed a little.

First Alec walked in. He seemed distracted momentarily forgetting Magnus was there on the couch. Followed by a shorter blond male.

Everything about the blond put Magnus on edge. He noticed Magnus as soon as he stepped into the apartment and smirked turning to Alec.

"So this was your company?" The blonde asked. "Didn't think you were into the whole Neko lifestyle."

"Get your mind out of the gutter Jace. I found him in the alley, injured and freezing," Alec told him.

The blond, Jace, walked over and Magnus growled narrowing his eyes as he reached out to touch him. He even hated his teeth. He may have been around the block a few times but his teeth were one of his best assets. Always kept in top shape. His canines always sharp.

"Jace...I don't think that's a good idea..." Alec warned.

Jace however ignored the warnings and pulled his hand back sharply a few seconds later cradling it.

"Damn thing bit me," he glared at Magnus.

Magnus shrunk back as Alec walked over and looked at Jace's hand. He hoped he hadn't done anything wrong.

"It's hardly deep. You'll live," Alec told him. "Magnus did give you a warning growl. You should've listened."

"Magnus? What kind of name is Magnus?"

"It's his name."

"Dumb name for a pet."

"He is not a pet Jace. He is a person just as much as you and I."

Magnus blinked shocked. He hardly ever heard anyone speak about him like that. None of his past owners thought he was a person. Just some thing to be used and played with like a toy.

Jace rolled his eyes. "Whatever. You still gonna spar with me tonight?"

"Can't. I have to work at the clinic. Catarina's short staffed."

"What are you going to do about i- I mean him?" Jace caught himself.

Magnus was getting the impression that Alec was the alpha male here.

"Bring him with me. See if she can look him over. Make sure he's alright."

Jace cast another glance at Magnus and Magnus bared his teeth again.

"Get a muzzle for him or something while you're at it..." Jace smirked at Magnus.

He hissed venomously at Jace. "Maybe he should get a muzzle for you." His voice was still rough and it hurt to hiss but the satisfaction of seeing the hint of fear in the blonds eyes made it worth it.

Alec laughed and Jace sputtered and flipped the brunette off before leaving and shutting the door behind him.

Magnus relaxed as soon as he left and looked over at Alec. He was chuckling to himself now and repeating what Magnus had said amused.

He used it as a time to study the human. He was tall, not as tall as Magnus, with raven black hair, bright blue eyes and pale skin. He had taken off his sweat shirt leaving him in a pair of black sweats. He had a large tattoo on his chest and a few on his arms. He was muscular. Strong. He screamed alpha male.

Alec walked over with their plates and sat down next to him. Eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast for Magnus. Proteins, carbs and meat.

Alec handed him a fork and grabbed the remote and flipped through the channels before settling on the news and leaned back eating his breakfast with one hand the other laid across the back of the couch. His fingers brushing the nape of his neck every so often.

Magnus finished his breakfast, happy to have something in his stomach and took their plates to the kitchen once Alec finished his own.

The dark haired male protested at first but Magnus assured him that he wanted to wash the dishes for him.

"I have to start getting ready for work. I will see if I can find something for you to wear...do you want to shower again?"

Magnus shook his head and watched Alec go into his bedroom and return with some sweats and a long sleeve sweater.

"These should fit you," Alec handed them to him. "I'm gonna take a quick shower so you can change in my room alright?"

Magnus nodded and took the offered clothes as Alec disappeared into the bathroom.

He took off the other clothes and caught his reflection in the mirror hanging on the door. He didn't like what he saw. He was too thin, too bony, his hair was flat and lifeless. Scars covered his whole form. He felt disgusted. He hated mirrors.

He put on the clothes and tied the drawstrings and sat on the bed. Alec walked out freshly showered and dressed twenty minutes later.

"Ready to go?"

Magnus nodded and stood up. His shoes at least were the one thing that weren't complete shit.

Catarina, turned out to be someone Magnus had met before. She was a very nice doctor.

"I hope you don't mind...I was wondering if you could look him over for me," Alec told her.

"I'd be happy to," she smiled and scratched Magnus under his chin earning a loud purr. "He's been due for a check up."

Alec nodded. "He has a bad gash on his left arm as well. He mentioned something about a chip."

The woman nodded and took out Magnus's file. "I'll come get you once I've checked him out."

Magnus watched him leave a little sad that he wasn't going to stay, but understood that he had to work. He followed Catarina into one of the examination rooms and put on the offered hospital gown.

He knew the routine by heart. It was one routine he didn't mind.

"Let's start with the blood tests alright?"

He nodded and held out his arm. He hated needles, he also hated diseases. He was one of the lucky few who wasn't crawling with parasites.

He was thankful Catarina made it as quick and painless as possible. She checked the wound on his arm next and wrote a prescription for antibiotics and cleaned it and redressed it again for him.

"Open."

He opened his mouth and she checked out and made a few more notes.

"Now I'll need you to lay back."

He did as told and stayed still while she examined him. Her heard her pen as she wrote notes.

"I'm going to go get Alec now alright?"

He nodded and sat up. She left shutting the door behind her returning moments later with Alec.

"Aside from some bruising, Magnus is okay. He still needs to eat more, he's not malnourished by any means which is good. I wrote a prescription for some antibiotics for the wound. His lymph nodes were a bit inflamed so I'm going to write down some antibiotics for that as well as some lotion that will clear the scarring. I'm running a few blood tests to make sure there's nothing internally wrong and I'm going to give him a few vaccines."

Alec nodded. "I'm glad to hear that he's okay." He smiled at Magnus.

Magnus smiled back his tail flicking a little.

"I'll let you know the results of the blood test before you leave. For now, Magnus can stay with you if you like. After he gets dressed of course."

Alec nodded. "I'll wait for you in the hall alright?"

Magnus nodded back and both of them left. He got dressed again and folded the gown and stepped out into the hall.

Magnus glanced up at Alec. He has his head pillowed on his lap as they watched TV. Alec was watching what looked like a soccer game, Magnus was more or less paying attention.

He yawned and stretched a bit. His joints popped from being in one position for too long. He felt good. He was full of fish and French fries and ice cream.

"Sleepy?" Alec asked.

Magnus nodded and shifted around a bit so he was facing away from the TV and closed his eyes. Alec ran his fingers down his back gently and Magnus shuddered purring softly as he fell asleep.

He could get used to this.
