"Do you have to go to work?" Alec asked watching Magnus get ready. "You said they cut your hours, make a statement by not showing up."
"The hours may be crap but I have bills to pay, I'll be back at three-"
"And home for two hours before you go to the tattoo parlor until ten," Alec interrupted. "I can bring Taki's around 8 if you're up for it."
"I'm always up for a visit from you," Magnus smiled pulling on a shirt. "Taki's sounds great."
"I love you," Alec said grabbing his hand. "I mean it."
Magnus leaned down and kissed him. "I love you more. Now I have to go or I will be late."
Alec reluctantly let him go and watched him leave. He sighed and laid in bed for a little while longer before changing the sheets and grabbing the laundry to do a quick load. He picked up one of his shirts and held it to his nose inhaling deeply. Sweat, vanilla, sandalwood, Alec's own scent and something he couldn't quite place his finger on.
It wasn't very potent, but it was there. He tossed the shirt into the washing machine along with the other darks and added detergent before letting them go through.
He glanced over as Chairman Meow poked his head around the corner and looked at Alec before slinking over and rubbing against his leg.
"You upset Magnus by shredding up his new jacket you know," he said picking up the cat. "You just wanted some attention didn't you?"
The cat purred and rubbed against him. Alec chuckled and set the cat down to finish sorting the laundry. He was finished by noon, all the clothes clean, dried and put away. He changed into fresh clothes and grabbed the spare, noting that the other man forgot his keys and grabbed them planning to drop them off at his work before heading out to pick up some groceries.
"So this is where you go after your nightly runs," Jace mused leaning against the stairwell outside. "I thought were laying off humans."
"What do you want Jace?" Alec asked zipping up his coat.
"Mom mentioned you'd be having company over for dinner-"
"And you followed me, following your future pack leader, how low will you go," Alec interrupted shaking his head.
"So, what's he like?"
"Who?"
"Your 'mystery' mate. The last one was what a painter? And the one before that was a cop right? And let's not forget about the aspiring chef. That turned out great didn't it?"
"I believe you are the one who's seeing, no wait, trying to see an artist. Still giving you the cold shoulder I assume," Alec said. "Is there a reason to the visit?"
"I was hoping I'd catch a glimpse of this mystery man, seems I was too late," Jace shrugged. "Guess I'll have to wait til dinner."
"Oh, you didn't leave, thank god," Magnus hunched over as he caught his breath. "I just noticed I left my keys and who's this?"
"Jace Lightwood. I'm Alec's brother," the blond grinned holding out his hand. "The adopted one."
"You're Jace…the way he talks about you you'd think you're some Adonis," Magnus looked him over and shrugged. "Guess it was just my jealously. But I can clearly see there is no need for it."
He turned to Aelc. "Do you have the spare?"
"And your keys, I was gonna stop by and bring them to you," Alec told him handing him the key chain.
"That was a sweet thought," Magnus took the keys. "And now I will officially be late and since you offered to drop them off…walk me? Assuming of course goldilocks doesn't have a problem with that."
"Is your line of questioning done?" Alec asked looking at Jace.
"Fine, go," Jace answered crossing his arms over his chest eyeing Magnus.
Alec internally frowned and grabbed Magnus's hand gently tugging on it. "Come on, let's leave goldilocks to find his way back home."
Magnus nodded and started walking towards the direction of the studio. He glanced down at their hands and couldn't help the grin that formed. He was walking hand in hand with his boyfriend. Nothing could ruin this day now.
"What are you grinning about?" Alec asked raising an eyebrow.
"You're walking me to work…I never thought this would happen," Magnus admitted. "I am on cloud fucking nine right now."
Alec laughed. "You're adorable you know that."
Magnus pouted. "I'm not supposed to be adorable. I'm supposed to be sexy."
"You can be adorable and sexy…had I known something like this would've made you happy, I would've done it a long time ago," Alec said.
"You're doing it now and that's what counts," Magnus replied looking at him.
Alec nodded and pulled him closer and kissed him softly. "I love you. Forever and always. You know that right?"
"I know," Magnus said squeezing his hand.
"You could always skip work," Alec added as they started walking again.
"I would love to skip, but I can't," Magnus opened the door to the studio and led him inside. "My boss will be all over my ass and I need to the money…even if the kids are snot nosed little brats."
"Mag Pie, thought you weren't going to…"
A tall blond trailed off as he spotted Alec, straightening a little bit. He looked at Alec and Magnus's hands and his lips twitched a little bit.
"Who's this?"
"This is my boyfriend, Alec, Alec this is Woolsey, he's one of my co-workers," Magnus answered.
"Nice to meet you," Alec nodded stiffly.
"Likewise," Woolsey nodded. "Magnus, you should go change, first class in in ten minutes."
"Right, thanks," Magnus nodded. "See you later?"
Alec nodded and kissed his cheek. "I'll see you later. Have a good day alright?"
Magnus headed off to the locker rooms leaving the two men behind.
"So, you're the one who's got him all gaga," Woolsey said crossing his arms over his chest.
"I take it you were trying to lay claim to him then?" Alec asked. "Guess I beat you to it. Can't say I'm sorry though."
"Damn Lightwoods," Woolsey growled slightly.
"I would love to stay and chat, but I have to get going," Alec said turning and walking to the door. "Nice meeting you."
"So glad this day is over," Magnus said stretching out on the bed. "And so glad I have tomorrow off."
"I wish I could stay. Pack meeting and I promised Max I'd go running with him tonight."
"Will I see you tomorrow?" Magnus asked hopeful.
"I will do my best, but I can most definitely text you anytime," Alec answered leaning down and giving him a kiss. "I picked up your prescription refill too. Saw you were running low."
"What would I do without you," Magnus chuckled kissing back.
"Get some sleep okay?"
"I will."
Magnus sighed as Alec left and picked up his cat petting him. "I think I'd go insane if it weren't for him…."
