Chapter Text
Alec closed the door of the apartment and kicked his boots off by the front door, he made his way into the kitchen and set the groceries on the counter. Tonight he was going to surprise Magnus with a night filled with all of his favorite things. A meal that was actually cooked instead of summoned, a movie, and a bubble bath before they collapsed into their bed and either slept or didn’t. He had everything set up right before Magnus pulled the door open.
“Alexander, what’s that smell? Not that it smells bad, just that I think this is the first time in a long time that dinner has actually been cooked and not summoned. I know you hate it when I do that, but I swear I do actually pay them for it.” He rambled as he left his shoes by the front door and found Alec in the dining room, standing in front of a neatly set table for two.
“Surprise, Magnus.” He said, smiling at the warlock. Manus smiled back and pulled the shadowhunter into a hug.
“This is wonderful, Alexander. What are we eating?” He asked, pressing a light kiss to his lips.
“Your favorite, of course.” He replied, and pulled out a seat for Magnus before sitting down across from him.
After they finished eating, Magnus leaned back in his chair and grinned. “You really need to cook more often, darling.”
Alec laughed. “I would if the world wasn’t constantly in danger of ending, that tends to leave less time for cooking.”
“Less time for cooking means more time for summoning.” Magnus winked, as the plate Alec was holding disappeared along with the rest of their dinner dishes, Alec rolled his eyes.
“What should we do now that the dishes are done?” Magnus asked, standing up from the table.
“Well, I actually have the whole evening planned for us.” The shadowhunter replied, smiling at Magnus.
“Oh really? What’s next then, darling?” Alec smiled and took Magnus’ hand, leading him out of the dining room and into their bedroom where he had a bunch of pillows and Magnus’ favorite blanket.
“I thought we could watch your favorite movie, and then take a bubble bath with your favorite bath bombs.” Magnus stared at him in awe then smiled and reached out to run the back of his hand down his cheek. “Thank you, darling, this is amazing.”
“You’re welcome. So what do you want to do first? The shadowhunter asked, leaning into Magnus’ touch and closing his eyes. “Let’s watch that movie, but let’s not actually watch it.”
The warlock smirked and pulled Alec over to the bed, where he rolled on top of him and pulled him into a deep kiss. Alec kissed him back leisurely for a few minutes then pulled back and looked up at him. “You know to watch a movie we have to actually be watching one, right?"
Magnus grinned and pushed some hair out of Alec’s face.
“Of course, but now that I’m thinking about, maybe we should skip the movie and go straight into what I wanted to do during it.” Alec grinned and wrapped his arms around Magnus’ shoulders.
“That sounds fine to me.” Magnus replied by kissing him again and pulling off his black shirt at the same time. He threw it carelessly over his shoulder and ran his hands down Alec’s sides. The continued leisurely making out until the need for air momentarily overpowered their need for each other.
“Well this has been a night full of wonderful surprises. Now I remember you saying something about a bubble bath?” Magnus grinned and stretched his arms over his head.
Alec smirked, “Yeah, we were going to do that after the movie we weren’t going to watch.”
Magnus snapped his fingers and the sound of running water came from the ensuite bathroom. “Don’t you just love magic?”
Alec rolled his eyes and lay his head on Magnus’ shoulder. “It does have its advantages, yes. Especially when you aren’t stealing from businesses.” The warlock rolled his own eyes, “How many times do I have to say this? It’s not stealing, I leave them money every time I take something. At least when I remember to leave it, anyway.” Alec laughed and rolled off the bed, pulling Magnus up with him.
“Come on before the bath overflows.” Magnus laughed and followed behind him, stripping off his clothes so he was completely naked when they got into the bathroom.
“Wow, you don’t waste any time do you?” Alec asked, pulling off his own clothes then stepping into the large tub, leaning his head back.
“Of course not.” Magnus replied, stepping in front of him, he leaned back against Alec’s chiseled chest, his head on the shadowhunter’s shoulder.
The warlock hummed in pleasure and closed his eyes, linking his fingers throuhg Alec’s as he relaxed against him. “This is nice. Let’s just stay in here and never leave, okay.”
The shadowhunter laughed and kissed the top of Magnus’ head.
“That would be fine until you use up all you magic keeping the water warm, so then it gets cold, and we both become prunes.” The warlock laughed and nuzzled his shoulder, “party pooper.”
