ALEC'S POV

Alec nuzzled closer into Magnus, the pain in his throat was slowly leaving and Alec was grateful. He rolled on to his other side; burring his face into Magnus' chest; the skin there was soft and warm. Alec pulled his arms up and slipped them under Magnus' dressing gown, wanting to be closer to the comforting warmth of his warlock. He felt Magnus flinch at the touch of his cold hands. Alec laughed silently to himself and Magnus' hands left Alec's throat and slid around him. Alec slowly traced patterns on Magnus' skin sub-consciously. After the fight they had had the other day, Alec had though he might never get to lay with his love like this again, he thanked the angel he was wrong. He wanted to talk to Magnus, before the others came, to sort everything out, but he had no energy, even after his long sleep.

Alec closed his eyes, still exhausted and drifted off to sleep again.

MAGNUS' POV

It took Alec a top of 5 minutes to fall asleep, as Magnus looked down at Alec's peaceful face he smiled to him self, "God what did I ever do to deserve such an amazing guy?"

Just then there was a knock on the door. Jace and Clary; he waved his hand, unlocking the door.

In walked Jace, Clary on his back, she was laughing about something, Jace however had a frown, but his eyes were smiling.

"Hey Magnus!" He said loudly as he walked in, Clary kicked the door shut, still on his back. Magnus looked up from Alec's sleeping face and smiled.

CLARY'S POV

Clary thought it was the cutest thing she had ever seen, Magnus cradling Alec in his arms like he was just an infant, holding him like every breath he took was the most precious gift. She smiled, "Hi, how is he?" she nodded her head towards Alec. Jace bent his knees, placing Clary on the couch opposite Magnus and Alec. Magnus laughed at the two of them, "He is a lot better, sleepy head though." Both Magnus and Clary smiled, Jace just rolled his eyes, Clary saw and hit him on the arm, making him smile. Jace sat down next to Clary, "So wake him up." He shrugged, always so rude she laughed. "Shut up Jace." She said.

Jace smiled before Magnus –completely ignoring Jace's previous comment- said "Look at his face, isn't he the most beautiful thing when he sleeps?" Jace pretended to make a gagging noise in the back of his throat and Clary hit him again.

Standing up, Clary crossed the room to see his face. She peered over the mass of blankets to see a small milk white face, his dark hair and dark eyelashes contrasted vividly and his ruby lips the only colour; there was no rose to his cheek. His lips were slightly curled at the edges, he was smiling. Seeing this made Clary smile

"That is the most beautiful little face ever." She said in aw as if she were talking about a new born baby. Magnus' smile widened, "I know."

Jace cut in rather rudely, "You know he would be hating both of you if he were conscious right now."

Clary glared at him, "Your just jealous cause were not talking about you." Jace nodded. "You got me."

Clary smiled and walked back over to Jace; she sat down close to him and reached for his hand. But being the smart ass he is, he pulled it away, just as she had done to him the other night. She reached for it again, and just like the last time he pulled his hand away. "Jaaace…" she wined. He laughed, and placed his hand back on his lap. As she reached for his hand one last time he pulled away... again. Her draw dropped and she looked up at him, she could hear Magnus laughing at them.

She decided to get back at Jace instead of going for his hand again. She stood and walked over to the couch where Magnus sat. She sat down on the end and looked over to Magnus. "So, how are you Magnus?"

Magnus was smiling; he had obviously found the whole thing rather entertaining. "I'm very good thankyou Clary."

Clary smiled, "When do you think he is going to wake up?" Clary asked, he shook his head, "I don't know, he is pretty sick. Oh yes, that reminds me. Could you please give him a healing rune before you leave? I have been working on his pneumonia all night and I'm too weak at the moment to do anymore." Clary smiled, "Of course I can."

A moment latter Alec twisted in Magnus' arms. He looked down at his lover. Clary saw his eyes flutter and open in slits. "Good morning sunshine." Magnus said brightly. Alec smiled, it was the most real, true smile Clary had ever seen him wear, yet it was just a small smile.

She wondered briefly why she never had never seen him smile like this, in fact the only time he seemed really truly happy, was when he was with Magnus, free to be himself and not having to hide away certain… aspects of his personality. Small things, she thought to her self.

ALEC'S POV

As Alec opened his eyes wider to take in the beautiful sight of his Warlock, he stretched his legs and tightened his grip on Magnus. "We have visitors you know." He whispered. At that Alec tensed, Magnus had told him that Jace and Clary would be coming over, and he had fallen asleep, he cursed himself in his head. Magnus squeezed him reassuringly. "Good morning sleeping beauty." Well that was certainly Jace, he thought. "Morning." And that was Clary. He felt himself blush. "Morning." He said extremely embarrassed and sure Jace would never let him live this down. Still feeling rather tired, the last thing he wanted was to let go of Magnus, so he was secretly glad that when he shifted to sit up, Magnus tightened his grip, denying him permission to leave.

JACE'S POV

About an hour latter Clary and Jace were leaving Magnus' apartment, Clary was feeling rather pleased with herself. She had managed to ignore Jace that whole time.

She even managed to ignore him the whole way home. Jace however, was hating it.

"Clary, come on! I'll let you hold my hand, here." He healed out his hand. Clary ignored him. As she made her way up to Jace's room she smiled secretly to herself.

When she reached the door she opened it and turned to see if he was following, he was. She quickly slipped inside and stepped to the side of the door. She waited quietly, and when Jace came through the door she jumped, "ARRRR" she yelled, and was rewarded with a surprised look from Jace, and if she didn't know any better she would say she saw HIM flinch. She had made him, Jace Lightwood, flinch. She was too amazed to laugh.

Wait… no she wasn't.

Howls of laughter burst out as he regained his posture. She had actually scared him and when she had, he looked like a scared rabbit. She laughed till she couldn't breath then she focussed on regaining her posture too.

As Jace sat there watching her laugh till she was red in the face he couldn't help but chuckle. As she stopped laughing she came to sit next to him, still giggling a little. She sat real close and leaned her head against him. "Sorry, but it was payback." She took a deep breath, "Now were even." She cleared her throat. She could feel him laughing. "You really are a silly little girl." He said after a moment.
