Okay, an authors note, this one used to be a one shot but I have re-written it to fit into Carnival Nights, but if somethings looks strange or anything you will know! I hope you enjoy because this one is a little bit more Malec but also Jace and Isabelle.

----------

Alec stood outside of Taki’s waiting for his boyfriend. He was a little nervous not because they haven’t done this a million times already but because Isabelle had forced him to dress up, so instead of his usual jeans and t-shirt he was now wearing a long sleeved dark sweater, dark jeans (which he had put on when Isabelle was out of sight) and a blue scarf from Magnus. He knew Magnus loved that scarf because it brought out his eyes but it was still not as comfortable as he’d wish. Damn his sister, he thought and leaned against the brick wall behind him, he wondered why Magnus took so long to come here. They where supposed to met up five minutes ago.

    “Darling I thought we said inside.” Magnus said coming out of the restaurant, he had purple pants with a golden belt and a long sleeved blue sweater and a bright yellow coat over it all. Alec smiled lightly at the sight of his boyfriend.

    “No, we said outside see.” He responded holding up his cellphone where it was clear they had said outside.

   “Right I got inside because Kaelie got in a fight with another faerie.” Magnus smiled and kissed Alec gently before looking at him. “Isabelle I guess?”

   “Yeah, please don’t comment it, as soon as we’re back at the apartment I’m going to change.”

   “No babe, you look gorgeous it brings out your eyes.”

   “I wasn’t just talking about the scarf Magnus.”

    “Still.” Magnus said and tilted his head before placing a hand at Alec’s back and bringing him inside the dinner.

    They took a seat in the far end of the room, it was warmer inside and Magnus ordered a cool drink for both of them. When Kaelie, who now had messy hair and her shirt on backwards disappeared Magnus placed his hand above Alec’s.

   “Don’t tell me you brought me here to confess something really stupid, like Chairman Meow escaped, again! Or that you misplaced your glitter or something like that.” Alec said frustrated but Magnus just laughed at him.

   “Nope, the glitter is in the bathroom beside my hair gel and the cat is asleep on your side of the bed. But that wasn’t what I was going to say. I just… err… well since I’m the man in the relationship-“

   “You are not, we are both the man in the relationship Magnus, and we’re both working and bringing home the food.”

   “Well I pay for it so,” he smiled while playing with Alec’s fingers. “But the thing is, our anniversary is coming up and I thought of either a party or a gift.”

   “You make it sound so important. Magnus I had already said that we can just stay at home and cuddle.” The last word came out as a whisper, Alec usually didn’t say things like this in the open, and he was more outgoing in the bedroom than he thought he would be.

    “But I think it’s important.”

   “Which anniversary is it, really, I know we already had our first year, first month was ages ago, we’re not expecting a kid right, cause I thought you just joked about adopting. Please don’t tell me you’re bringing home a little chines baby girl.”

   “First of all it would be a girl but not chines I was thinking Italian or something like that. And secondly I was joking about adopting, at least for now. Thirdly it’s our first kiss anniversary.” Magnus said putting up his fingers at each number, blue sparks where playing on his fingertips and Alec couldn’t help but smile.

    “How about, you bring home food and we just lay in the sofa with a movie?”

   “Honey I know you don’t like parties or going out but damn Magnus Bane need some action.” He laughed and winked at a werewolf who was going pass them. Alec kicked him on his ankle but Magnus barley noticed.

    “What do you want to do then?”

    “How about movie on the big screen, lots of popcorn and afterwards fireworks?” Magnus said leaning over the table to quickly kiss his cheek. “Romantic right?”

    “Okay deal but only if I can go in my own clothes.”

   “Deal.” Magnus repeated and kissed him. “It’s on Saturday so I’ll pick you up at the institute?”

    “Seven?”

   “Sounds perfect.”

The days couldn’t move fast enough, Alec thought blinking as he looked up at the sky, it was Saturday morning and he and Isabelle had brought Jace along on a hunt. The rumors on a rouge vampire had spread through Brooklyn and now they where tracking it. Jace was ten steps ahead of him and Isabelle was in the back swinging her golden whip back and fort. Her black hair was in a long braid and Alec had the urge to tug at it like he used to as a kid.

    Jace soon started running and the two Lightwoods followed him into the abandoned alley, just as Alec turned his back to see that Isabelle was with them he heard a scream. He felt his heart speed up in his chest and he felt nauseas, it was always like this in a fight. Jace stormed along killing everything and anything and Isabelle would come after and slicing up the last. Alec couldn’t stand the idea of them falling like the warriors they where brought up to be so he always protected them.

   The vampire inched forward with his fangs bared and Jace smiled and was just about to take out his blade when a golden thread wrapped itself around the vampire’s neck and then the head flew of as Isabelle giggled.

    “Hey, that was my kill!” Jace said with his arms crossed over his chest.

   “Yeah well you snooze you loose!” Isabelle said.

   “Guys don’t fig-“

Alec felt someone gripping him from behind and throwing him against the wall, he felt something crack and for a moment he thought he was going to die but then Jace was over him, helping him up. In front of them stood a werewolf, the same one that Magnus had winked at earlier that week. Alec cursed under his breath and took his bow; he got an arrow and pointed it at the Downworlder. Jace got out his Seraph blade and Isabelle was already on her tiptoes with her whip ready.

    “It wasn’t very nice of you to kill my friend like that.” The werewolf said, he hadn’t transformed yet and the big guy didn’t look to dangerous.

   “Well it wasn’t very nice of him to kill those mundanes.” Jace said and played with the blade between his fingers.

    “Well then I’m not gonna be so nice since I’m going to kill you.” The Downworlder snarled and transformed into a big black wolf.

   Jace ran up to meet him and they both crashed into the ground; Isabelle used her whip to slash a big gap in the wolf’s side. Alec aimed carefully not wanting to hit Jace before he released the arrow. It flew and pierced into Jace’s leg. The boy screamed for a moment but he forced down the wolf, Alec had already released a new arrow, which pierced the wolf’s throat. The Downworlder lay limp on the ground and slowly turned back into a man. Alec hurried to Jace who was sitting against the brick wall with his hand against his leg.

   “S-sorry, I’m so sorry but you moved and I-i didn’t-“

   “It’s okay, it’s fine.” Jace said and pulled out the arrow. “Just a flesh wound.”

   Isabelle helped Jace up to his feet but blood had already bloomed out on his jeans. “Let’s hurry home and get some bandage on that. Come on Alec.”

   “No, I was going to meet, uhm… it’s fine you guys go ahead.” Alec said low and turned around and just walked. He had no idea where to go, he had hit Jace, not on purpose but still, he felt something inside him move around restlessly and he wanted to throw up. Isabelle shouted after him but didn’t come after. Alec knew they both could get home fast and get patched up with an iratze but it still hurt that he had done it.

    Without even realizing it he had gone into Magnus apartment and in to the bedroom where the warlock was asleep, a thought slipped from Alec's mind and it was this small word that said home. It was around five o’clock and he had worked Alec assumed. He took of his gray shirt which was blood and torn in the back where he had hit the wall. He had a wound on his stomach but he couldn’t bother to heal it, it didn’t hurt and the blood had stopped flowing so it would heal in it’s own time. He just wanted to feel Magnus against him and to feel better.

   As he sat down on the bed Magnus woke up, he saw the look on his pale face.

   “What happened?”

   “Sorry to ruin our day.” Alec whispered and laid down on the soft bed. He looked up into the ceiling where Magnus had put up pictures of the two of them.

    “Nonsense.” Magnus muttered and laid a hand over his wound, he flinched.

    “I shot Jace.”

   “Good, that should teach him something.” Magnus smiled and Alec felt a soft sting in his side and he realized that Magnus was healing him.

   “No please don’t. It doesn’t hurt.” He took Magnus hand in his and rested his arm on his chest. “It wasn’t like that, I didn’t mean for it to happen. I miscalculated and hit him instead for the werewolf.”

    “It wasn’t your fault.”

   “But it was, it was my arrow that hit him, it was I who hit him.”

   “Did he curse or blame you afterwards?”

   “No.”

   “Then you shouldn’t beat yourself up like this.” Magnus said and kissed his cheek. Magnus laid right beside him. Alec could feel the warmth from him, Magnus messy hair tickled his chin and their hands locked together on his chest made his heart slow down again. His heart tried to beat the same time as the warlock’s but Magnus heart was slower than normal persons, it was a reassurance in a stressful time that everything would be okay. This was really home and Alec forced down a smile he shouldn't be happy that fast after all that guilt towards Jace.

   “Thank you.”

   “For what?” he laughed and kissed his shoulder.

   “For talking to me, for being perfect.” Alec answered calmly.

   “I’m not perfect, have you seen my hair today? It’s not even glitter in it yet.”

   “You’re perfect.” Alec said and relaxed. “So what do you want to do since I totally ruined our plan with my downfall.”

   “Well first I thought we could go to Italy and stare at babies and then we could walk the entire Chinese Wall and then we could climb Mount Everest.”

   “Even if I had a stamina rune I would die half way through all that.” Alec laughed.

   “Then how about just lying here in bed together.”

   “Sounds lovely.”
