Okay, so finals are tomorrow…..AHHHHHHHH! I almost didn't post tonight, but then I decided, why not? So this is for all you people taking finals! Set before COG.

If I owned them…...I wouldn't be writing fanfictions, would I?

Alec sat cross legged on his bed, books spread about and papers falling on the floor. Finals were in two days, and the Lightwood children had been told to study. Out of the three of them, Alec was the only one actually studying. Izzy was in her room, looking through magazines and sorting through clothes, and Jace could be heard downstairs rooting around in the cabinet. Alec ran his fingers through his hair, frowning as he flipped through his textbook, trying to find the section on flow cytometry. Suddenly his phone started vibrating, and he leaned over to grab it.

From: Magnus Bane

Alllleeeeeeecccc I'm bored!

Alec frowned again.

Well, I'm studying for finals.

He through his phone back onto his French book, not expecting Magnus to answer, but a minute later, his phone vibrated again.

Boooooooring. Haha I never had to take those….You should come study at my place. I can be very helpful ;)

Alec: Define helpful.

Magnus: Oh….you know…

Magnus: But seriously, you should come by. I miss youuuuuuuu!

Alec smiled as he read the text. "What are you doing?"

His head whipped up to see Jace standing in his doorway, leaning lazily against the frame eating a pudding. "W...what?"

Jace straightened."I said, what are you doing? Unless studying for finals is fun in your opinion….I could see that...I mean...its you…."

Alec spluttered. "What's that supposed to mean?!"

"Just you like studying I guess." Jace shrugged. "Pudding?"
He offered Alec his cup. "Err...No thanks."

"I have more," he said, pulling two more containers from his pocket.

"Is that pudding!?" Izzy appeared beside him.

"No, its blood of a hippogriff. Yes its pudding." Jace rolled his eyes.

"Ugghhh gimme! I've been sitting up here with nothing to do!"

"You could have been studying...for the tests we have in two days." Alec suggested.

Izzy ignored him and continued. "Is Clary coming by today?"

Jace shook his head, now opening another cup. "Mum banned both her and Simon until after tests."

"Whhyyyy. Its not like we're actually going to study! I mean,...Alec will….but hes Alec."

"Hey!" Just then , his phone vibrated again and he remembered Magnus.

Magnus: Alllleeeeeecc! Did you die!? Do I need to come rescue you again? NOOOO DID YOU GET EATEN BY THE EVIL BOOKS? I SHALL VANQUISH THEM FOR YOU! BACK YOU FOUL DEMON BEASTS!

Alec: Wow…..you're really bored I take it.

Magnus: Yes. Come entertain me :)

"Who are you texting?"

Alec looked up, he forgot they were there for a second. "Umm..nobody.."

"Jace, I think our darling brother is becoming mentally deranged. He's smiling and texting nothing."

"Oh no! What shall we do! Maybe a certain….warlock….can cure him!"

"Ugh! I'm going to the library!" Alec huffed, gathering his books up.

Izzy gasped. "He has a library!" She giggled.

"No! The library. You know- Ugh nevermind!"

Jace and Izzy laughed as Alec pushed past them, marching down the stairs. Once he was out on the street, Alec debated on whether he should actually go to the library, or go to Magnus's. In the end, he decided on the library, he'd get more work done there.

"Hello Alexander!" The librarian at the desk looked up as he entered.

"Hello Miranda."

"Haven't seen you in here lately, hope you haven't been going to some other library."

Alec smiled. "No….I've been...busy."

Miranda smiled sweetly at him. "Well, I hope whoever he is you two are happy together."

Alec blushed and looked down. Miranda was one of the few people who knew he was gay. She had majored in human psychology and guessed it for herself. One day she had made a comment about it, and Alec had never contradicted her. Alec made his way to the bag of the library, towards his favorite place, and curled up in a chair, pulling out his books. About an hour later, someone coughed from the floor, causing Alec to jump about a mile in the air. He looked down and gasped. "Magnus!?"

"Hello darling!" The warlock said, grinning up at the shadowhunter.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was bored, so I decided to look for you here." He said, standing up and stretching. "Get up."

Alec obliged and Magnus sat down, pulling Alec into his lap. "So, what are you studying?" He asked, resting his head on his shoulder.

"French." Alec responded, picking his book back up and finding his place.

They sat like that for a good amount of time, Alec muttering to himself and flipping between notes and book, and Magnus fiddling with Alec's hair or staring absentmindedly out the window. "Alllleeecc, I'm still bored." Magnus whispered, after a bit.

"You've mentioned that."

"Come back to my flat with meeee! Please?"

Alec shook his head, not taking his eyes of his book. "I have to study."

Magnus pouted. "You're no fun."

Alec made a noise and continued studying. Suddenly, Magnus slipped his hand under Alec's shirt and began tickling his stomach. Alec jumped and tumbled out of his lap, landing on the floor with a thud. "Magnus!" He hissed.

"Yes darling?" The warlock blinked down at him innocently.

"Thats not fair, you can't tickle me!"

"Oh, but I can! C'mere!"

Alec stifled a shriek as Magnus lunged at him, grabbing him around the waist and tugging him back. "M..Magnus! S...stop!" he giggled between breaths.

Magnus laughed, he loved Alec's laugh, it was just so adorable! Finally, Magnus relented and pulled an out of breath, still laughing Alec onto his lap and began peppering his face with kisses.

"So you're the one who's been stealing our Alec away."

Magnus looked up, surprised, to see a middle aged woman holding an armful of books, smiling fondly at the two in the chair.

Magnus looked at her, confused. "What?"

"Miranda!" Alec leaped up, startled. "Umm...this is Magnus...my….boyfriend." At these words Alec turned scarlet.

Magnus stood up to, placing a hand on his boyfriend's waist. "Well, you must be Miranda." He said, extending his hand.

She took it, laughing a little. "Yes. I must be, now, I'm afraid to say the library is closing."

Magnus clapped his hands. "Oh! This means back to my place!"

"Wait..what?!" Alec looked up at him, confused.

"Come on sweet pea! This way!" He grabbed Alec's hand and began dragging him away.

Miranda smiled as she watched the two boys walk away. She remembered Alec from when he was little. He used to come toddling in here at age five, looking for books. By the time he was 10, Alec had read almost every book in the juvenile section. He was such a cute little kid, always so eager to help out, always smiling and talking to everyone in the library. But when he grew up, Alec had become more reserved, and more troubled. It broke the hearts of every librarian there to see him so down. Miranda was the first one to guess, it, and it broke her heart even more that Alec had no one to trust but his sister. Then, a few months ago, he had stopped coming by every week. At first, they were worried. What if something had happened? Was he okay? But then, he came in one September day, and he was smiling, looking as though he was he king of the world. Once again he looked like the little boy who would walk around socializing with everyone. He stood at the desk and chatted with the librarians, laughing and smiling. When one asked him why he was so happy, he flushed slightly and looked away. Now him and this sparkly boy, Magnus, were apparently together, and Mirada hoped with all her heart they made each other happy. She truly did.

Back at Magnus's flat, Alec's text books layed on the kitchen counter, neglected and forgotten. The two boys lay on the sofa, kissing heatdly. "What are you doing?" Alec asked as Magnus pulled back.

"Just admiring my boyfriend." Magnus said, nuzzling Alec's neck.

Although he never said it out loud, he was over the moon that Alec had called him that. This meant he was one step closer to coming out to everyone else and fully comitting. Alec rolled his eyes and pulled him back in for another kiss. "I...should really...be...studying…." Alec breathed between kisses.

Magnus grinned. "But darling, this is so much more fun!"

Alec laughed lightly, he couldn't agree more.

Two years later. Alec has just finished a semester abroad.

Magnus hummed as he picked out his outfit for the morning. Pulling out a box in the back of the closet, he opened it and coughed as dust flew out. Peering into it, Magnus recognized them as Alec's old textbooks. Speaking of Alec...He thought, racing over to his nightstand and grabbing his phone. 4 new messages.
