"One more time?" Jace asked, swirling a sword in one hand and wiping sweat from his brwo with the other.
Alec was about to agree when he glanced at his watch. 10:30 pm. shit. He thought, he was supposed to meet Magnus over two hours ago. Quickly he thought up a lie. "Umm….well...I'm kinda tired, maybe we should call it quits."
Jace looked at him skeptically. "Since when have you ever called off training early from being tired?"
"Uh...I think I twisted my ankle today…" He said lamely.
Jace shrugged and tossed his sword aside, walking out. Alec waited for his footsteps to stop echoing around the hall, then raced to his phone. 5 new messages.
Magnus: Where are you?
Magnus: Darling is everything okay? You haven't been eaten by demons right?
Magnus: Alec?
Magnus: ALEXANDER LIGHTWOOD ANSWER YOUR PHONE
Magnus: …...Alec?
Those were over an hour ago. Alec swore under his breath and ran as quietly as he could towards the front door, grabbing his coat. Outside it was extremely dark, with only the streetlights and car lights lighting up his way. Shivering, he made his way across the familiar streets towards the warlocks apartment. In his coat pocket he crossed his fingers, hoping Magnus was still there and wasn't to mad at him. It took longer to reach the flat because it had snowed earlier in the day, so by the time he reached Magnus's he was frozen. Still shivering from the cold, he knocked a few times on the door and waited. Nobody answered. He knocked again and still nothing. Alec cursed again, and kicked the door, angry at himself for forgetting about Magnus. Just as he was about to walk away, the door flew open to reveal a very sleepy looking warlock, dressed only in a red bathrobe, no make up or glitter. "Alec?" He asked, running a hand through his hair.
"Uh… S...Sorry, I uh..didn't mean to wake you up." He said, blinking in surprise.
Magnus coughed and stood back, motioning for him to come in. "So, I suppose you have a very good reason for waking me up?"
Alec blushed and looked down at his snow covered shoes. "Um...we had a date." he whispered.
Magnus raised his eyebrows. "Yes. Yes we did, about two hours ago if I recall."
"Sorry I was training and...lost track of time."
Magnus snorted, obviously he knew who Alec had been training with. "Magnus, its not like that…." Alec said, trying to reassure him but failing miserably.
Magnus sighed and shoved his hands in his robe pockets. "I've been alive 800 years, I guess waiting two hours wouldn't have killed me."
They stood in silence for a moment. Then "How can I make it up to you?" Alec asked, nervously.
Magnus thought, tilting his head a bit as though he were looking at his options on a chart or whiteboard. Then he smiled evilly. "Alexander, have you ever seen The Christmas Jumper?" (A/N: Okay that is a completely made up movie that I thought of on the spot….like Christmas shoes…..but ...not)
Alec shook his head, trying to see where this was going. "Follow me!" Magnus said, still grinning and marching into the living room, still only in a bathrobe.
A few minutes later the two were snuggled under about 100 blankets, with hot chocolate and popcorn. Alec sat with his feet on the floor, blankets wrapped around him and eyes fixed on the screen, with Magnus curled up next to him, leaning against his shoulder. The movie was about 2 hours long, and Alec watched for the entire time, a bit confused for most of it, but he watched it nonetheless. Magnus however lost interest about halfway through the movie and began playing with Alec's hair. After that, he moved on to kissing his neck and playing with their hands, which were entwined under the blankets. When the movie ended and the credits rolled, Alec looked over to see Magnus fast asleep, head on his shoulder and legs still pulled up onto the couch.
Alec smiled as he looked at him. It was rare that he ever saw Magnus without any makeup or glitter, and he wanted to take advantage of it. Sure he liked Magnus the way he was, glitter and all, but there was something different about him now. Slowly, so as not to disturb him, Alec tried to shimmy his way out from underneath the blankets. It didn't work. Magnus stirred and sat up, looking around. "Alec?" He called softly.
"Here." Alec responded, standing up and stretching.
Magnus rubbed his eyes and stood up also. "Is the movie over?'
Alec nodded. "What'd you think of it?"
He made a face and Magnus laughed. "I thought so, not really your type of movie."
Alec rolled his eyes. "Does this mean I'm forgiven for forgetting our date?" He asked, wrapping his arms around Magnus.
His boyfriend nodded sleepily. "Wait," he said suddenly. "Are you leaving?"
"Its past midnight, my parents will be wondering where I am."
Magnus pouted and buried his face in Alec's hair. "But you just got here, can't you send them a text saying you're going to the library in the morning or something? besides, its freezing outside." He laughed suddenly. "Baby its cold outside!"
Alec looked at him quizzically. "What?"
"Its from a song."
Alec shrugged. "Well, someone might think it suspicious if I come back at 3 in the morning."
Magnus sighed. "Well you could just sleep here with me."
Alec frowned and bit his lip. "Well….."
"Plllleeeaaassseee. It gets lonely with just chairman meow."
Alec smiled, "Fine."
"Yes!" He yawned. "Now that thats out of the way, off to bed!" Magnus said, pulling Alec towards his bedroom.
When they got into the room, Alec walked around to his side and shrugged off his shirt, leaving it on the chair beside him and climbed into bed. Magnus followed suit and layed down next to Alec, wrapping his arms around him and sighing. "Well, this day worked out better than I planned." He laughed softly.
Alec, already half asleep, nodded, mumbling something inaudible. The last thing he remembered before drifting off to sleep was the faint smell of sandalwood and a meowing noise from the hall.
