Clary shook her head, wondering why the image of Magnus actually moving into the Institute became a mini-movie in her head. That would never happen, besides, she was fairly sure that Maryse got along with Magnus better that. She seemed to at least. Well, at least one thing in her daydream was right - Magnus did love Alec enough to move all the way across the city and deal with all the people in his life on a daily basis. She knew that if it had been her and Jace, they would do whatever it took to be together.

"Wow, that was weird," Clary looked at Jace and Isabelle, telling them of her daydream. They laughed, knowing just unlikely that was.

Alec and Magnus looked at them, Alec bright scarlet up to his ears, Magnus looking unfazed, "Really, how do you come up with such stupid ideas? As if I, the Great and Powerful Magnus Bane, would act so pitifully!"

Even though he acted otherwise, Alec knew that he would do it if he had seriously asked him to, "But is this place big enough for the three of us?"

A perverted look crossed the warlock's face, his neatly pierced eyebrow arching, "But you should know every angle of my room by now... Intimately."

It was Jace's turn to gag, "Are you really trying to compete to see what's worse on my delicate stomach?"

Isabelle glared at him, "Between?"

"Your cooking or Alec's love life," He told her casually, ducking as she tossed a silver dagger pulled from her hair. It missed him by centimeters, flying toward the wall. Magnus caught it in a bubble of blue sparks, sending it back to Isabelle's open hand.

"Do that again, and next time you'll replace the wall," Magnus wasn't joking when he told her that she would literally replace the wall, and Clary was fairly sure that if it did happen again, he wouldn't stop the blade.

She seemed unconcerned, "Alec, if you do decide to move into this dump, who's going to help me hide Simon?"

"Ah, so you really are ashamed of him!" Jace snapped his fingers, acting as he had just solved some puzzling mystery.

Clary sighed, tired of trying to reprimand Jace every single time he spoke ill of Simon, which she would bet was about half the day, "Come on Izzy, this really doesn't seem like it involves us anymore."

They nodded at her, muttering goodbyes to Magnus and Alec, wishing them luck in their own twisted ways, "Clary?"

She froze in the doorway, looking back at the two boy, a far-away, dazed look on her blank face, "Huh?"

Magnus walked over to her and took Nexus back, careful not to wake her, "Biscuit, last time I checked, Nexus was left in my care."

She nodded, almost unable to believe that she almost walked away with the baby, "Sorry."

He patted her hand sympathetically, "Try to get some sleep. Real sleep, not the kind that someone else can help you with."

"Yeah," She bobbed her head, following after Jace.

Alec looked at Magnus, smirking at the faint ghost of a smile on his face as he carried Nexus back to his room, conjuring up a cushy black crib, teal bed mats tied to the bottom and sides. A mobile with stars, moons, suns, and runes spun over the top of the crib, a stuffed bear the colors of the rainbow in the corner. Its eyes were black, sewn a little too tight. The blue diaper bag from earlier had been placed underneath the lace skirting, one of its flowered edges sticking out. Magnus put her down in the crib gently, pulling an orange blanket up to her chin. It was so sweet, Alec took a quick snapshot with cell phone, saving it as his wallpaper. Seeing the flash a little too late, Magnus chased Alec from the room, closing the door behind him so Nexus wouldn't wake up.

"Give me your phone!" Magnus reached out for Alec, the Shadowhunter easily dancing past his fingertips.

Alec laughed, "You have to catch me first. And no magic."

The warlock swore under his breath, grasping at empty air. The Shadowhunter was just too fast for him without the use of magic, so he threw his hands up in defeat, "I give,"

Stopping in his tracks, Alec tucked his phone into his back pocket, cantering over to Magnus. Pausing halfway, he shook his head, knowing that Chairman Moew was waiting behind the chair to ambush him and steal the phone back for his master. Magnus frowned, calling off Chairman Meow with a low whistle. The cat came out from behind the chair, slinking past Magnus to pursue other interests. Alec took pity on the abandoned man, sitting back in the vacant chair so he could rest while he waited for Magnus. Underestimated by his boyfriend, Magnus made a last ditch effort, pouncing through the air to land perfectly on top of the chair. Lips curled triumphantly, Magnus pinned Alec to the chair, crawling on him so that his thigh was between both of his legs.

"I win," He grinned, kissing Alec's neck.

A/N:

Ha, I pulled a fast one on you all! And the reason why Alec just walked in was because after three years of dating Magnus, I'm sure that he would at least have a key. Unless you meant why Jace, Clary, and Isabelle managed to get as far in as they did, which I would imagine would be because Jace, probably Clary too by now, and Isabelle all know to break into places, and because Magnus hadn't answered his buzzer thingy, they probably freaked and rushed in. Izzy most likely just walked in through the open door. And I'm not evil, exactly, I'm just trying to keep this story a T! Though I do wonder if maybe I fail anyways... Anyways, in this, Magnus has an eyebrow ring.
