AN: It's late. I know. Don't even have an excuse this time. I just suck. I'll probably change to updating once a month for a while and then I'll hopefully have some back up chapters. Idk. Anyway.

ENJOY!

Alec took a deep breath, moving one hand to intertwine with Magnus' hand, letting the other rest in his hair. Alec's fingers buried in Magnus' hair, probably ruining his perfectly styled hair, though he didn't seem to mind.

"One time when I was about ten, so Izzy and Jace was about eight. Our parents was away with Max, leaving us alone with a new babysitter. This babysitter was however useless, she'd spoken with her boyfriend on the phone for about an hour before falling asleep on the couch and it was impossible to wake her up. Then Jace came over and we decided to make something to eat. So we went to the kitchen and took out some sandwiches. Neither of us had any experience in cooking so we thought it was best to make it as simple as possible, this led to the decision on making toast, since we had a sandwich grill it wasn't too complicated. I was about to start making them, trying to be he older responsible brother, but Izzy had another idea. She insisted on making them, talking about how she should learn how to make the perfect toast, incase something similar occurred when I wasn't there. Even though I couldn't come up with any scenario where she'd be alone, hungry and have these ingredients or the equipment , I let her have her way. I've always had a hard time when it comes to her using her puppy eye look, I don't think I've ever been able to tell that look no. Anyway, Jace and I sat down at the kitchen island, watching Izzy preparing the sandwiches, a part of me was afraid that she'd cut or burn herself. However, all was fine, she'd prepared the sandwiches and put them in the grill. She was beaming with pride and I couldn't help but feel proud too. That was until the grill caught on fire, Izzy freaked out and screamed waving her hands in an attempt to kill the flames. Jace ran laughing to fill his glass with water and gave it to me. The were sparks and the light flickered as the water hit the flames, putting them out but also killing the electricity. Everything turned dark and Jace laughed his ass off, being helpful as always, while Izzy clung to my arm. And that's the first of many stories of how Izzy's cooking could be lethal." Alec finished, laughing lightly.

"So, how did you solve the electricity problem?" Magnus laughed, his shoulders shaking against Alec.

"We lit some candles and played cards until our parents got home, needless to say the babysitter was fired and then my father fixed the power." Alec felt a wave of sadness wash over him at the thought of his parents, but the sight of Magnus in his lap smiling quickly washed it away. Before Alec had the chance to reflect on what he was doing he bent down and kissed Magnus, cupping his face with his hands and pulling Magnus up so that he was sitting in Alec's lap. He moved his hands from Magnus' face, down to his shoulders, following his arms down, his fingers brushing against Magnus' biceps. As Alec reached the place where the seam of Magnus' shirt met the edge of his pants, he hesitated, letting his hands rest there for a while before moving them under Magnus' shirt.

Magnus' skin was soft against his fingers but he could feel the hardness of his muscles underneath. Gently Alec tugged at the seam of Magnus' shirt, breaking the kiss, looking him straight in the eyes as Magnus lifted his arms above his head. Alec quickly got rid of Magnus' shirt, trowing it to the floor. When Magnus went in for more kisses, Alec pulled back slightly, leaving their foreheads pressed together.

"Are you sure?" Alec breathed, he needed to know if Magnus really wanted this and he needed to know now before it got too hard to stop. Sure, it had always been Alec who had stopped the other times but he remembered Magnus' words last time, "I'm scared that, if we rush into this, that I might lose you".

"Yeah." Magnus said in-between breaths, his breathing was hard and irregular. "Are you?"

Alec didn't answer this with words, he moved to kiss Magnus again. His fingers exploring every part of Magnus, running them along the muscles on his back and around to his abs, tracing the curves of his abs, amazed at how they could be so smooth and yet so hard. Before Alec realized what was happening, Magnus wasn't in his lap any longer, he stood in front of him, holding Alec's hands pulling him up. He didn't waste any time and started pulling up Alec's shirt who raised his arms to help. The shirt got stuck on Alec's hand as he was about to throw it away, he desperately shook his arm until the shirt fell off, it should've been awkward, especially since it was their first time but it wasn't. They just giggled in-between kisses, hands still moving all over each others bodies. Magnus' hands traveled down Alec's back, sending shivers throughout his whole body, suddenly Magnus put his hands on Alec's butt, lifting him up. A small gasp escaped Alec's lips as Magnus lifted him, but he quickly recovered and wrapped his legs around Magnus' waist. As Magnus started walking Alec moved his head to the crook of his neck and started kissing him there, causing small noises of pleasure escaping Magnus' lips. He moved his hands up to intwine his fingers in Magnus's hair. As Magnus walked toward the bedroom he kissed and sucked on his shoulder. Leaving marks and making Magnus sink his fingers into Alec's hip. To get the bedroom door open Magnus had to let go of Alec, at least stop carrying him, they never stopped touching each other as the stumbled into the bedroom and down in the bed, giggling in-between kisses.

-TIME JUMP-

The next morning when Alec awoke, his skin was surrounded by soft silk instead of the usual worn out sheets. It was a pleasant feeling no doubt, but the best part was the warm skin pressed into his back and the warm breath tickling his neck. Without opening his eyes, Alec smiled and searched for Magnus' hand. Humming happily as he found it resting on the bed next to his stomach, intwining their fingers and pulling up their intwined hands to his mouth, placing a soft kiss on Magnus' hand.

"Good morning." Magnus whispered and kissed the back of Alec's neck.

"Amazing morning." Alec hummed, continuing to kiss the back of Magnus' hand. It felt a little strange to hold his hand when it was ringless, but it was a good kind of strangeness.

"Yes, the best morning." Magnus agreed, rubbing his thumb along Alec's hand. He turned around, so that he was facing Magnus. He gasped when he realized that Magnus was without makeup, not a single trace of it on his face. He must have fallen asleep before Magnus had removed it the night before. "Oh, sorry. Forgot that I didn't.. have makeup.. I look horrible.."

"No." Alec said, placing a hand on Magnus' cheek to keep him from looking away. "You're beautiful."

For a moment Magnus' eyes searched Alec's face, probably for a sign that what he'd said was a joke. Then he smiled and moved closer, burying his face in Alec's chest. Alec placed a kiss on the other mans head and they slowly fell asleep again.

When the two men woke up for the second time that morning, they decided to go up and eat some breakfast. Together they made some bacon and egg sandwiches, coffee for Alec and tea for Magnus. Alec was dressed in a black t-shirt and boxers while Magnus was dressed in a bright red robe with a meandering gold pattern, the robe ended right above his knees and was open over the chest, some necklaces hanging there, glittering against Magnus' skin. His hair was still ruffled from sleep and he hadn't put any make up on, Alec was really enjoying this open and vulnerable side of Magnus. He felt blessed to get to see it, he suspected that not many people got to see this. They had a slow morning, eating breakfast and having small talk. When they'd finished their breakfast, they proceeded to take a shower together, and maybe a little more than just showering happened. Alec isn't one to kiss and tell.

"Magnus." Alec said, looking up at the other man's face. His head was in Magnus lap, they were on the couch, watching T.V though not really paying attention to what was on.

"Mhhm." Magnus hummed, looking down on Alec, moving his fingers through Alec's hair, making him shiver.

"If you want to, I can show you something that I always loved doing." Alec continued, still looking at Magnus.

"Yeah? I'd love that." Magnus smiled and leaned down to press a kiss on Alec's forehead. "When and where?"

"That's the thing, you'd have to meet Jace. But, we could probably do it now." Alec said, he stopped looking at Magnus and focused his gaze on his own hands, now fidgeting together. He was nervous, he didn't know how Magnus would feel about his suggestion.

"I'd love to meet Jace." Magnus said. "What is it you had in mind?"

"Archery." Alec said, still not looking at Magnus. "Jace's parents has a huge barn where you can practice archery, knife throwing and all sort of things. I've always loved archery and I'm quite good at it. Though I used to be better, when I had more time to spend on it."

"So you'll teach me to use a bow and arrow?" Magnus asked as he pushed Alec's hair away from his forehead. "That's sexy."

Alec laughed at that comment from Magnus. He sat up, kissing Magnus on the way up. "I'll go call Jace." He said before walking toward the kitchen where he'd left his phone.

"What's up?" Jace answered after a few seconds.

"Hey, I wondered if you'd like to go to the barn with me and Magnus, thought I could show him some archery." Alec felt himself blush, he was glad that Jace couldn't see it because he'd never let that go.

"Yeah, sure, Clary is here though. Is it okay if she comes?" Jace answers like it's the most normal thing in the world. "Or did you mean another day?" He adds when Alec doesn't answer him.

"Oh, eh, no, I hoped we could do it today. And sure, Clary can come." Alec snapped out of his chock, he didn't know what he'd expected Jace to say but it wasn't this. He'd at least expected some teasing from Jace.

"Great, it'll be like a double date." Jace said and Alec could hear the smug look on his face. He wanted to hit Jace through the phone.

"Yeah, something like that." Alec simply answers, biting his lip.

"We can be there in thirty?" Jace asked more than he told Alec.

"Oh, uhm. We're at Magnus' place and we'll have to get dressed .. " Alec muttered, hoping that Jace wouldn't catch what he said. Though he knew that Jace had indeed caught it when he heard him laughing at the other end.

"So, let's say an hour then? You might want to take a shower too." Jace laughed, there was the teasing, and Alec wanted to punch him even more. Instead he just muttered "We'll meet you there in an hour." Before hanging up.

Alec took a moment to breath before walking out to the living room where Magnus was still sitting on the couch. Alec told him that they were meeting Jace and Clary in an hour, stating that they'd have to leave in thirty minutes. Magnus practically flew off the couch at that information, he was still without makeup and with his hair laying down, Magnus practically ran toward the bedroom. Alec followed him, though he didn't rush, he walked as slowly as he could. Taking some time to process what was about to happen. This was the first time Alec presented a boyfriend, (or whatever it is that Magnus is to him, he wasn't sure), Alec never had to introduce Dave to him since they already knew each other. Sure Jace has met some of Alec's "friends with benefits" but that wasn't the same thing, that wasn't as serious as what he's got with Magnus. He wasn't sure why, but he was nervous. What if they hated each other? For the first time, maybe ever, Alec was glad that Clary would be with them, she was the only one who could control Jace's temper. She really grounded him, kept him from doing stupid shit.

"Magnus, you do know that we're going to do physical activity right?" Alec said, when he walked into the bedroom, Magnus was in the process of styling his hair, in some magical way he'd already managed to put on makeup.

"Yes. That's why I've chosen throwaway clothes." He answered, waving on hand towards the bed without looking away from the mirror he was standing in front of. Alec looked over to the bed and sure, on them laid what in Magnus' opinion could count as throwaway clothes. It was a tank-top in black, a deep red jumper and black pants. If you asked Alec the clothes looked fancy, though he didn't say anything, he just shook his head and walked over to his own pile of clothes. They weren't what he used to wear when going to practice archery, though they'd do. Somehow Magnus managed to make himself flawless without compromising their time schedule. They were out of the door with minutes to spare. Magnus had done 10 times more things than Alec had in the same time. How he'd managed that was beyond Alec. However, he didn't complain, Magnus looked amazing. Alec thought he was going to faint when he saw Magnus in a tight tank top, his arms huge, but it got worse when he threw on his jumper, it looked like his arms was going to rip the shirt apart. Alec had a hard time collecting his thoughts, though he managed to get out a "are you ready?" Which Magnus nodded to, a smirk on his face, he knew what he was doing and he loved it. Alec wanted to kiss that smirk of off his face, but he didn't. He knew what a pain in the ass Jace would be if they were late, he'd never stop teasing Alec.

When they entered the elevator there was a new person there, a middle-aged man with streaks of gray in his dark brown hair that was falling back on his head. He had a crooked nose and thin lips that was pressed together.

"Mr. Bane." He greeted with a nod, he didn't even give Alec a glance. "Which floor?"

"Mr. Malachi." Magnus greeted back, he didn't smile at him like he'd done to Miss Branwell. "The parking garage please." He added and Malachi pressed the button without another word. The ride down was silent and Malachi stared at the door, he looked like a statue. Alec didn't know what do say, he'd ignored Alec when they entered the elevator and he still hadn't as much as looked at him, and Magnus didn't say anything either so Alec decided to be quiet. It felt like an eternity before the ride down was done and when it was Alec almost ran out of the elevator.

"Have a good day Malachi." He heard Magnus say before he stood at Alec's side, grabbing his hand. Malachi didn't answer, however Alec heard something that sounded like a grunt before the doors closed.

"Grumpy old man that Malachi." Magnus muttered. "Awfully homophobic. Talked a lot about blood purity before. Now he doesn't talk to me at all." Magnus continued a frown on his face.

"What an ass." Alec said, wanting to know more but he thought it could wait. He wanted Magnus to be happy and in a good mood, he didn't want one asshole to ruin their day. It worked, he heard Magnus letting out a short laugh.

"Yeah, that's the right word to describe him." Magnus continued laughing.

The tension from Malachi went away and they spent the car ride small talking and giggling like little girls.


AN: I know it's going too good to be true for them right now. Don't worry, it's the calm before the storm. *evil laugh* (Elvira made me like this.)
