"God, I can't believe this is happening," Magnus says with a groan as he walks into his and Alec's living room. Alec doesn't even look away from the video game he is playing as he answers.
"What's up?" Alec says, though he doesn't seem too interested in the response.
"This picture is what's up!" Magnus exclaims as he falls onto the couch next to Alec. He holds his phone out in front of Alec, who simply dodges it and focus on the TV.
"I'm sure it's not that bad, Mags," Alec says.
"Not that bad! You have got to be kidding me, Alexander. It's atrocious," Magnus says, glaring at his boyfriend. He sighs as he looks down at the picture on his phone that has been spread all over the internet in the last day. The image of him on the jumbo-tron last night was captured by someone and posted on twitter, much to Magnus' dismay.
"No need to be a drama queen," Alec says while rolling his eyes. Magnus looks up at him, before looking to the TV to see what he's playing. He raises his eyebrows and holds in a laugh.
"Are you playing NHL 2K16 as yourself," Magnus asks, shaking his head at his boyfriend.
"Maybe...," Alec says, his focus still on the game. Magnus sighs and opens up Snapchat on his phone. He holds it out so both him and Alec are in the frame and starts recording.
"When Boo likes his video games more than you," Magnus says, pouting at the camera. He squeals when Alec suddenly puts his arm around Magnus' shoulders and pulls him into his side, the entire time his attention never leaving the screen.
"Drama queen!" Alec exclaims, a large smile on his face. Magnus ends the recording and posts it onto his story with a winky face as the caption. His phone is suddenly taken from his hand and tossed onto a chair across the room. Magnus moves his head to glare at Alec.
"Hey!" he says. Though, he is somewhat happy that now all of Alec's attention is on him given that Alec shut off the game.
"What? I thought you wanted me to pay attention to you?" Alec says with a cheeky grin. Magnus smiles and moves so his head is in Alec's lap. He rests his hand on Alec's bare chest, thanking the gods that his beautiful boyfriend loves to forgo a shirt while they're at home.
"I always want you to pay attention to me," Magnus says, pouting at Alec, who laughs and leans down to kiss Magnus. Magnus reaches up and runs his fingers through Alec's long hair, making Magnus hum.
"Boy, do I love hockey hair," Magnus says as Alec pulls back from him.
"Sometime I wonder whether you only like me for my flow," Alec says, smirking at Magnus. Magnus smiles, running his hand up Alec's arm.
"Of course not, Darling. I love your god-like body, too," Magnus says, smirking at his boyfriend, who throws his head back and laughs. Magnus practically purrs as he adds, "Oh, and not to mention the things your tattoos do to me."
Alec shakes his head as Magnus runs his hands along all the tattoos that creep up his arms and stretch onto his shoulders. Magnus then runs his hands down to the Lightwood crest above Alec's heart and to the few tattoos on his torso. His eyebrows scrunch together as he spots a fresh-looking tattoo that he hasn't ever seen. He runs his fingers along it, taking note of the slightly raised skin.
"What's this?" Magnus asks, recognizing the image somewhere in the back of his mind. Alec smiles, glancing down at his newest tattoo.
"You know what it is," Alec says. Magnus stares at it for a few seconds before his eyes widen slightly.
"My mother's necklace?" Magnus asks, looking up to Alec. He nods, smiling at the way Magnus' eyes light up. "You got my mother's necklace tattooed on your side?"
"I got it while I was in Chicago. I know how upset you were when you lost it, so I figured this way you can always have it by your side," Alec says, shrugging slightly. Magnus stares in awe as he runs his fingers along the image of the necklace his mother gave him right before she passed away.
"You truly are amazing, Alexander Lightwood. What on Earth did I do to deserve you?" Magnus says, sitting up and wrapping his arms around Alec's neck.
"You're just you. That's what you do," Alec says, connecting Magnus' lips with his own. And that's how they spend the rest of the day, lying on the couch and stealing slow kisses from each other. Eventually, they have to get up and start getting ready for their appearance at Magnus' designer's spring unveiling tonight. Thankfully, Magnus allows Alec to play more video games as Magnus does his hair and makeup. Though, Magnus does end up forcing Alec to let him dress him.
"Darn buttons," Magnus mumbles as he fiddles with Alec's sleeve, trying to make it stay artfully rolled up. Magnus insisted that with Alec's tattoo sleeves, he would look "unbelievably sexy" with his sleeves rolled up instead of down. "Ah, there! Now give me a twirl."
Alec rolls his eyes, yet still spins, allowing Magnus to admire his work. Alec tugs slightly on the black suit vest he's wearing, that matches his thin black tie perfectly. Magnus is wearing the matching suit, other than the fact that his shirt is black and the rest of his suit is white. In true Magnus fashion, his tie is bright and sparkly.
"Mmm, so delicious," Magnus says, grabbing the loops of Alec's pants and pulling him closer. Alec reaches up to run a hand through his hair before Magnus quickly swats him away. "Leave it!"
"Alright, alright," Alec says, moving his hand down to Magnus' waist. Magnus had put Alec's hair into a small bun at the nape of his neck in an attempt to make him look less scruffy. Magnus leans forward, his lips hovering over Alec's.
"And now we must go," Magnus says, smirking at his boyfriend. Alec scoffs, pushing Magnus back.
"God, you're such a tease," Alec says, grabbing his phone and keys while walking out of their bedroom. Magnus follows behind, laughing as he goes. The two take the elevator down to the lobby, waving at their doorman as they go. Outside their limo is waiting, with their chauffeur ready for them with the door open.
"Thank you, Charlie," Magnus says, before Charlie shuts the door behind them. Alec puts his arms around Magnus' waist as the two settle into the backseat.
"Did you see the picture I posted on Instagram?" Alec asks as the car starts to pull away.
"Hmm, no. I don't think I have," Magnus says as he pulls his phone out and opens up the app. He only has to scroll through a handful of photos to find the picture Alec posted earlier this morning. It's a selfie Magnus had taken at the game last night and sent to Alec before he got on the ice to wish him good luck. Isabelle is standing next to him, beaming at the camera while Jace is lounging in the background. You're able to see most of the arena with the angle Magnus is holding his phone.
Alec_Lightwood: Only thing better than winning the series is looking up to see my beautiful Maggie and lovely sister cheering me on. Thanks for being the best. Love you both lots. Oh, and Jace too... #MyMainSqueezes #SissyAndMyLove #Isn'tHePretty #LuckyMan #AndJaceToo

Magnus looks up to his boyfriend and places a kiss on his lips.
"You're so cute. I love you," Magnus says with a huge grin. Alec beams, pulling Magnus closer. Magnus looks back down at his phone and goes into Snapchat. He holds his phone so both him and Alec are in the frame and starts recording.
"Do you see this face?" Magnus says, moving to hold Alec's jaw between his fingers. "This is the face of the best boyfriend in the world."
"Mmm, no. I think you would be you," Alec responds bopping Magnus on the nose with his finger. Magnus laughs, leaning forward and giving Alec a quick kiss. The two pull back with matching dopey smiles.
Magnus looks back to his phone to see the video is over. He quickly captions it with three kissing face emojis and posts it to his story.
"I bet Jace wasn't happy about that Instagram post," Magnus says, putting his phone away and moving his attention to Alec. Alec laughs, shaking his head.
"Yeah, I got quite a few angry texts from him this morning. Apparently he thought he should have been the main focus of the post," Alec says, shrugging. Magnus scoffs and rolls his eyes.
"Of course he does. His ego is bigger than your family's yacht," Magnus says as he smirks at Alec. Alec groans, shoving Magnus slightly.
"Ugh, not with the yacht again," Alec says.
"What? Are you embarrassed by the fact that your family owns a yacht that just might be bigger than our apartment?" Magnus asks, flashing a cheeky grin at his boyfriend.
"I didn't see you complaining when we took that weekend off on the yacht," Alec grumbles, pouting at Magnus.
"Oh, I'm not complaining, Alexander. Just stating a fact," Magnus says. Alec shakes his head just as the limo pulls up in front of the venue. Immediately, someone pulls the door open and Alec slides out. He holds his hand out and helps Magnus get out of the car, both being completely bombarded with flashes. There are reporters everywhere, all flashing cameras and yelling their names.
"You only have to take a few pictures before you can head inside," the assistant standing next to them says. Magnus nods and allows the girl to usher the two of them over to the designated spot for reporters to get pictures. The couple stands in front of the back drop as they have so many times before and smile for the cameras flashing in their faces. Alec slides his arm around Magnus' waist and let's him lean into Alec.
Red carpet events aren't uncommon with the both of them, considering how famous each is on their own. Not to mention the fact that they are generally considered a power couple in the public's eye, making them very well-known. The practice of posing for the camera is one they know very well.
Magnus is pulled away for some single photos so Alec pulls out his phone and trains it on Magnus. He goes onto Snapchat and get's a good video of Magnus smiling at the flashing cameras. He writes the caption "Adorable" with a heart eye emojis and puts it up on his story. He puts his phone away right as he is sent back over to Magnus to take more pictures.
They only have to stand there for about five more minutes before they are being ushered inside the venue. Magnus' designer chose to have the show in a very trendy warehouse, decking the entire place out in lights and sparkles. There truly is no doubt that this girl works for Magnus.
"Let's go find Tessa," Magnus says as he grabs Alec's hand and pulls him through a curtain that runs the length of the warehouse. Behind the shimmering fabric is nothing but chaos, with people running everyone and others shouting orders. Magnus weaves his way through all the people in the direction of the stage. Sure enough, they find Tessa milling around over there looking stressed and disheveled.
"Oh, Mags! Thank god you're here," Tessa exclaims, grabbing Magnus' arm and pulling him towards a model. "Can you please help me with this?"
"Of course, Darling. Babe, this'll only take a minute," Magnus says smiling at Alec.
"Sorry, Alec! I think Will and Jem went to find the refreshment table if you want to talk to them for a little," Tessa says, genuinely looking sorry for taking Magnus from him.
"Don't worry about it, Tessa. I'll just go find the boys," Alec says, smiling at the both of them before walking off to find the refreshment table. He ends up asking someone where it is and eventually spots it, Jem and Will both hovering around it.
"Hey, guys," Alec says as he walks over to them.
"Hey, Alec. Come to join the exiled significant others club?" Will asks as he pops a cracker into his mouth.
"Tessa needed Magnus' help with something. He shouldn't be long," Alec says with a shrug
"You had a great game last night, by the way," Will says, clapping Alec on the shoulder while Jem nods next to him.
"Thanks, man," Alec says while scanning the food laid out. Alec barely recognizes anything in front of him so he's not sure what he should pick. He feels Will jab him with an elbow and looks up to see him holding out a beer out to Alec.
"Where'd you get this?" he says as he grabs the beer and pops the top off.
"I stashed a few when Tessa was distracted," Will says, smirking over the rim of his own beer.
"You know, you promised Tessa that you would behave," Jem says, rolling his eyes at Will.
"What? I haven't even done anything," Will says. He turns to Jem and raises an eyebrow, making Jem roll his eyes again.
"Oh, I highly doubt that, William," Magnus says as he comes up behind Alec, who moves to slide an arm around Magnus' waist. "And, Alexander, I thought you knew better than to go along with his antics."
Magnus grabs the beer from Alec's hand, despite his whines of protest, and puts it on the table next to them. He picks up two glasses of champaign from a passing waiter and gives one to Alec.
"There. Much more classy," Magnus says, smirking at Alec. Alec rolls his eyes, taking a small sip from his glass.
"Does that make me not classy enough for you, MagBear?" Will asks, batting his eyelashes at Magnus.
"Obviously," Magnus drawls.
"Blasphemy!" Will shrieks. "And are you going to stand up for me as the good boyfriend you are?" Will turns his accusing eyes on Jem, who scoffs and shoves Will.
"Shut up. You're embarrassing Tessa," Jem says, glancing around to the people milling around them.
"On that note, let's go find our seats, Alexander," Magnus says, pulling Alec away from the two.
