I am so sorry for not updating regularly! It's been getting harder to make reasonable sized chapters. I have been really busy this past week and I just started watching Supernatural so I haven't had much time...

Alec PoV

After lunch, everybody goes their separate ways. Jace and Clary stay at the institute, Simon and Isabelle go back to Simon's apartment, and Magnus and I go back to the loft. Thanks to my wonderful warlock boyfriend, I get to portal back home. After weeks and weeks of being pent up in this place, as soon as we arrive I am itching to get up and do something.

Magnus curls up on the couch lazily. I pace back in forth in front of the couch trying to get him to do something.

Alec is restless. He keeps walking in front of me. I sigh and look at him, "What do you want?"

"I want you to get up." He looks down at me.

"Why?" I ask.

"I'm bored."

I still don't get up, so he does something surprising. He sits on me. I look up at him and raise one eyebrow. Alec leans in close.

"Please get up." he asks me with a puppy-eyed expression. I roll my eyes at him.

"Fine." I shove him off of me and onto the floor. "But we just got home."

"So," Alec looks at me from the floor.

"Okay, where do you want to go? I ask him.

"London," he answers.

"Okay."

Alec PoV

I didn't actually think he would go for this. I'm a little proud of myself for convincing Magnus to do this. Anyway, we arrive at the entrance of a very expensive looking hotel in London. I follow Magnus in as he walks straight past the clerk at the front counter and into the awaiting elevator. He presses his finger into the button the marks the fourth floor. I lean against the wall until the doors open. My eyes widen as the elevator opens right to the room. More like a full size apartment. "Woah," I say and turn to look at my boyfriend.

"I know," he smirks.

I walk through each of the rooms. The room we first walked in was probably something like a living room. Then there is the bedroom, which has a king-sized bed. There is a full-sized kitchen and two regular bathrooms with a giant bathtub and a shower. One of them is attached to the bed room. A 56" flat screen TV sitting in front of a couch and a love-seat sitting to the side.

Magnus is waiting in the bedroom when I'm done exploring the place. He is sitting on the side, leaning back on his hands. I walk in the room and he sits up.

"Don't worry about clothes, I have it covered. And don't worry, I packed things that you will actually wear."

"Okay," I say.

Magnus PoV

Ever since I gave Alec that beanie, he has been wearing it often. Well, he is cold all of the time. Alec sits next to me on the bed and leans on my shoulder. He turns his head and kisses my neck. I lean my head back and close my eyes. Alec pushes me so I am laying on my back with my head on a pillow. Then he lays his head on my chest and traces his fingers around on my stomach. I suck in a breath and look down at him.

He looks up at me and places his mouth very close to my ear. "I love you," he whispers, his lips lightly brushing my ear.

I turn my head so I can look at him. "I love you too, Alexander. My Alexander." I lightly touch his cheek. He closes his eyes and leans into my touch . I lay my head back onto the pillow and he places his head back on my chest. We fall asleep that way.

I wake up at about 1:00 A.M. to Alec leaning over me about two inches from my face whispering my name. "Magnus."

I try to pull the covers over my head, but Alec won't let me. "What do you want?" My voice still sluggish from sleep. He leans closer, his eyes wide open.

"I want to go swimming," he says with a wicked grin.

"Why at one in the morning?" I ask him.

"Because no one else will be there and we can be alone." Alec bites at his bottom lip, his eyes pleading. "Please?"

"Fine, but I get to sleep in as late as I want."

"Yay!" he climbs off of me and walks out of the room. As I watch my shadowhunter tread out of the room, I roll my eyes.

The things I do for this boy I think and slide out of bed and change clothes. I meet Alec near the elevator and ask him," Is the pool okay?"

"I don't care," he shrugs. So, we take the elevator down to the lobby and sneak into the hotel pool using glamour. I unlock the door to the pool and Alec silently shuts it behind us. There are no security cameras in the pool, so I don't have to worry about blocking them.

I look over at Magnus and give him a crooked smile. He widens his eyes and stares a little as I pull off my shirt and throw it onto one of the chairs. "Your turn," I move closer to him until I am about two feet away. I put my hands on the hem of his shirt. "Unless you need help." I raise my eyebrows at him.

Magnus sucks in a breath and raises his arms, so I can take off the dark blue shirt he's wearing. Now, he is left with white shorts to swim in. I give him a light kiss on the mouth and pull him towards the side of the pool. When we are at the very edge, jump in and pull Magnus with me. The water isn't very cold, so it doesn't take very long to get used to.

I come back up and tread water. Magnus is about five feet away from me, also treading water. He smiles at me, his hair in his eyes. He smiles with his teeth parted, a playful smile. A second later I have a wave of water colliding with my face. I splutter.

He wisely backs away from me, laughing. His whole face changes when he laughs. His eyes light up and it's almost like he is squinting. Magnus sticks his tongue out at me. I splash him and he stops smiling to spit out pool water. While he's distracted, I quickly swim towards him and take hold of his arms so he can't get away again.

"Truce?" he offers

"Truce."

Then, I slowly swim backwards away from Magnus until we are only touching by our fingertips. Magnus slowly draws me towards him. When I am close enough, he puts a hand on the small of my back; the pressure of his fingers send jolts of electricity up and down my body.

We move over to where we can stand. The water level is about an inch below Alec's bellybutton. I sink down to where only my nose and eyes are above the surface. I look up at him from the water; he looks down at me.

I inch my way towards his stomach. When I get there I place a feather-light kiss right above Alec's bellybutton. He tastes like skin and pool water.

I make my way to right below his jaw. Alec's hands have made their way up my body and into my hair. His head is tilted back and his eyes are closed. I kiss the line of his jaw and over to the side of his mouth. He twists his head, so instead of the side, I kiss him full on the mouth. I stand up and my hand slides up his back and curls around the back of his neck.

"I have great ideas," Alec says, breathless.

"Yes. you do," I answer and push him backwards until his back hits the wall of the pool.

"We should get back to the room," I advise him, "My fingers are getting wrinkles."

"Okay." He says and takes a deep breath. We get out of the pool, dry off, and go back to the room.
