Okay so, my Italics and bold haven't been working for the past two chapters, so some of the things I write are supposed to be bolded and italic but it doesn't work, so don't be angry... I am going to try to update at least every other day or sometimes every three days. On the weekends I don't have much time because I play softball tournaments every weekend. but during the week I will have time because school is finally out.
Alec Pov
I get the institute and head to the training room. Jace is already there and throwing knives at the target on the back wall. "Took you long enough," he says without turning his head towards me.
"Let's get started then, if you want to complain about my punctuality."
"Okay then, Mr. SassyPants." He moves over to where the weapons are stashed and puts the knives away. Then he meets me where I stand in the middle of the room.
Skip to after training
After Jace leaves the training room I pick up a bow and practice shooting. When I am satisfied with my work I walk up to my very unused room and take a shower. Next, I travel down to the kitchen to get some much needed food. I only have a granola bar because I want to eat lunch with Magnus. After Jace and Isabelle get done eating, I decide to head home.
Magnus PoV
The reason I want to surprise Alec is because his birthday is in a week and he doesn't like to celebrate his birthday. I have no idea why he wouldn't want to celebrate his birthday, I mean you get presents for God's sake. Anyway, back to the surprise thing. I want to get Alec a cat. He seems to like cats so I want to get him his own. I already talked to the Chairman and he seems fine with it. The cat I pick out is a boy and is all black except for his front, left foot, which is a light gray. The cat has short hair and two different colored eyes. One eye is green and the other is blue, a blue like Alec's eyes and a green like my eyes. I wiggle my fingers and he appears right next to me.
I snap up another set of food and water bowls and more cat toys. Another cat bed materializes too. Chairman Meow comes over and sniffs at the little kitten. He meows and nudges the cat's shoulder. He meows back and sniffs at The Chairman.
At least they are getting along I think. Then I move over to the sofa and sit down, waiting for Alec to get home. He should be getting home soon.

On the way home I think about if Magnus is going to celebrate my birthday against my wishes or not, seeing as my birthday is in a week. I told him a few days ago that I didn't want to celebrate it. I just don't like to make a big deal about of it. Though, he didn't look very trustworthy when he conceded. He probably is going to take me out to dinner or something. I asked for no presents but I doubt that will happen with Magnus and Clary running around. I get to the apartment and unlock the door. When I walk in I see Magnus sitting on the sofa with to cats on his lap. I take of my jacket and set my key down on the- Wait two cats?
I look at Magnus," What did you do?"
"Happy birthday Alexander," he smiles at me Magnus stands up and gathers the kitten in his arms. He walks over to me and sets the cat in my own arms. The unnamed cat meows and looks up at me. "Well, what is his name?" Magnus asks.
"Umm, let me think," I say in reply. I smile down at the kitten and scratch behind his ears. He begins purring.
"You like him, right?" I am asked.
"Of course I do Magnus," is my response.
"Good because I wasn't going to take him back."
"His name is Oliver." I state.
"I like Oliver."
The newly named Oliver jumps out of my arms and onto the coffee table. I go over to Magnus and give him a hug. "Thank you, Magnus," I tell him.
"You are very welcome, darling." He kisses my nose. I kiss him on the mouth lightly. "I love you," I say softly.
"I love you too."
Magnus grabs my hand, "Let's go out to lunch, Darling."
"Okay, but nowhere fancy and let me get changed first."
"I laid an outfit out for you already. It's on the bed."
I walk into the bedroom and look at the bed. I see blue jeans, which I suspect are going to be tight, and a black button-up dress shirt. I pull on the pants, which are not as tight as I feared, thank god and I roll up the sleeves of the shirt just past my elbows. Magnus is waiting for me when I walk out of the room. He turns around upon hearing my footsteps.

Wow. Is all I can think when Alec walks of the bedroom. I give myself a mental pat on the back. I should dress him in that shirt all the time. I give him a kiss on the cheek. "You look marvelous in that outfit, Alec." He blushes and looks at the ground.
"If you say so."
"Of course you do, I picked it out."
'Let's eat, I'm hungry."
"Too bad for me, now that you're in those clothes, all I want to do is get you out of them." I slip my hands into his back pockets and pull him closer to me.
"We don't have to go anywhere," he says into my ear. I suppress a shudder.
"Fine with me. What are you in the mood for."
"You," Alec surprises me with his answer. I stand there for a minute wondering if this is actually real because all the thoughts in my head are turning into just one...Alec just said he wants me for dinner...
He stands there like he didn't mean for that to come out. His face is so red I could've mistaken it for a rather large tomato.
"Are you okay, Alec?" I ask gently.
He turns away and goes into the kitchen. I follow behind him.
"Yeah, I guess. That wasn't really supposed to come out, though. I thought I was only thinking it."
"So, It's true then. Well, I am the special tonight, but I am limited to certain people. People like you, that is."
"I- well I-." He takes two steps forward and kissed me. I stand there for a minute, shocked by Alec's very forward actions. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer to me. I fall forwards and Alec stumbles backwards. His back hits the counter, so I lift him up and he sits on it. "Well this makes it harder." I say with a small frown. He leans down to kiss me at the same time I lean up to kiss him. Our mouths meet roughly and I gasp lightly. Alec takes it a bit more...intensely. Within seconds he is off the counter and we are flipped with Alec pushing me against the counter. Must be a shadowhunter thing with pain. I mean it was a good pain... very good pain.
His hands find their way into my hair, twisting and tugging. My arms are under Alec's shirt, ripping it off. He breaks the kiss to take it the rest of the way off, breathing hard. I am breathing just as hard. I kiss him again and he almost growls. Just then, Oliver and Chairman Meow come treading in loudly meowing and begging for food. I sigh and pull away. Why are we always interrupted? Oliver comes over and climbs up Alec's pant leg. He picks him up and walks over to where the food bowls are and pours food into each of the cats' bowls. As he straightens up I watch as the muscles in his back expand and contract. My reverie is broken by Alec talking to me. "What's for lunch? I just realized how hungry I am because I was temporarily... distracted." He winks at me.
"Macaroni and cheese." I wiggle my fingers and two bowls appear on the table. Alec sits down and immediately starts eating without any complaint. I sit down too. His portion is larger than mine because he eats enough to feed at least two people.
After lunch I take Alec to the park.
