A/N: I do not own the character of TMI they belong to Cassnadra Clare.
Would you guys prefer Woolsey making another pass at Magnus? Magnus possibly being pregnant? Or badass Alec rescuing his boyfriend?
Comments are always welcome :3

"I'm glad you could join me for lunch," Maryse smiled as she picked up her glass of water. "Alec told me that you work a lot."
Magnus nodded. "Yeah…I'm just lucky he puts up with it…"
"Alec really cares about you. To tell you the truth I've never seen him willing to do so much for someone other than his younger siblings," she replied.
"If I uh…if I may ask…why did you want to have lunch with me?" he asked.
"If you are to be my son's husband so to speak, I want to get to know you," she answered. "And once Alec gets his own pack, you will be his support system through everything he does. There will be many who will try and hurt you to get to him."
"But I'm no one…" Magnus said shaking his head.
"But he loves you," she replied. "That makes you important to him."
Magnus nodded a little bit. "So…in a way I am his weakness?"
"Yes."
"Good to know…"
"I hope this isn't making you regret this. Alec really does care a lot about you and I feel he would be heartbroken if things were to end between you," Maryse told him.
"It's not…we just have some things we'll need to talk about is all…"
She smiled. "Well in any case, I'm looking forward to you as part of the family."
"You seem to be one of few," he sighed.
"Isabelle and Jace will come around eventually," she told him. "For the longest time it has just been the three of them in a very tight knit group. To them you're seen as a threat. An outsider come to cause disorder."
"The last thing I want is to cause disorder…I had honestly no intention of falling in love with Alexander. Because of my illness I find it difficult to keep relationships. I…I'm not going to lie; I slept around a lot before him. And drink and smoke and partied well into the morning…Alec and I didn't meet during a mugging…"
"I gathered as much. Alec may be a gentleman, but he is a very bad liar," Maryse chuckled. "So how did you two meet?"
"We met at a party, and I was very drunk and I shamelessly made passes at him before finally puking on his shoes," he explained embarrassed. "He was nice and helped me clean up and we just hit it off nicely."
"I'm amazed the two of you kept it hidden for so long," she said.
"Alec didn't want to tell anyone…and I did but I respected his wishes…even if I disagreed with them…" he replied picking up his tea.
"You're going to have to get used to secrets," she pointed out. "Whether you may like that or not."
"I know…it will be an acquired taste but I will do my best to go along," he nodded.
"If you ever need help, just give me a call" she smiled.
"I appreciate it," he smiled back a little.
"How was lunch with my mom?" Alec asked.
"Good. She showed me embarrassing photos of you when you were little," Magus answered sitting next to him on the couch.
"She promised she wouldn't," he groaned.
"I'm only teasing, she promised to save those for when we go over to dinner," Magnus teased as he stretched out on the couch.
"And just when will we be going over for dinner again?" Alec asked raising an eyebrow.
"Sunday night. We're supposed to be there at six," Magnus answered. "Take my shoes off?"
"And you agreed for the both of us? What if I had plans?" Alec said unlacing his boots and taking them off setting them on the floor.
"Because I don't think your mother would've taken no for an answer," he answered sliding his foot across and pressing gently against his crotch and rubbing in small gentle circles.
"You're probably right," Alec groaned softly and rubbed his foot. "Are you trying to give me a foot job?"
"Is it working?"
"So it seems."
Magnus moved and sat in his lap draping his arms around his neck. He leaned forward and kissed him softly while Alec ran his hands under his shirt.
"You're like a furnace," Magnus murmured.
"Is that bad?" Alec asked.
"I already told you I liked it," Magnus chuckled. "And as much as I would love to continue. I need to shower."
"Just when it was getting good," Alec pouted a little bit as Mangus stood up.
"I'm sure you'll last," he rolled his eyes and went to the bedroom. "If you could get dinner started that'd be great."
"I'm making steak," Alec called after him.
"With corkscrew pasta," Magnus called back.
Alec smiled and stood up going to the kitchen to get started. He glanced over as the phone started going off and dried his hands off before answering.
"Hello?"
"Who is this?"
"This is Alec. Magnus's boyfriend-"
He frowned when they line went dead. "Well that was rude…"
"Who was it?"
"I don't know…they hung up."
He put the phone down and grabbed a pot for the pasta while Magnus grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.
"Do you have to work tomorrow?"
"Yeah. They're short staffed at the dojo. I told Woolsey 'd give him a hand with the kids camp."
"I don't want you working with him," Alec said.
"He's been on his best behavior since that incident," Magnus replied. "I'll be fine. He wouldn't try something in front of a group of kids. He has manners you know."
Alec growled a bit under his breath. "Then I'm going with you."
"Not if you're going to give him the stink eye," Magnus pointed out. "I'll be fine. I've been taking care of myself longer that you and I have been together."
"I know…I just don't like the guy…or any guy touching you…" Alec sighed.
"I will always be yours. No one is ever going to steal you away from me no matter what. You're the one I love."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
