A/N: Holy crap, it has been a while since I've posted anything for this! (In my defense, I did say that this wouldn't have a regular posting schedule and that I would write as things came to me.)

Anyways- I got this prompt: magnus keeps dropping stuff on the floor so that alec will pick it up and magnus can look at his ass. and because alec is so nice he picks it up every time

I decided to combine it with the small of back kiss.

I hope y'all like this:

The first time it happened, Alec didn't think much of it.

Magnus had walked through the front door trying to balance what looked like twenty ancient scrolls in his arms. He didn't look like he was particularly struggling but Alec had offered to help him anyway.

"It's alright darling, I'm fine."

So Alec had warily went back to his book. Magnus wasn't clumsy like he was but he also couldn't help but think that this could end badly. For all that he knew, Magnus could drop them and when they opened, they could release weird ancient spells into their apartment.

Magnus made it about halfway to his study before the scroll at the very top of his pile started to teeter and then eventually fall.

Alec watched with wide eyes as it made its descent toward the floor.

He wondered if he should brace himself, try to prepare for what would happen if the scroll actually did release a spell.

It landed on the hardwood floor with a loud thump.

Besides from the sound...

Nothing else happened.

Alec let out the breath he had been holding. Perhaps he had acted a little over dramatic and over cautious but with Magnus, one could never know.

As for his boyfriend he had stopped in front of the scroll.

"Actually I wouldn't mind a little help here, love."

Alec set down his book and got up from the couch.

He walked to the spot that the scroll had fallen, bent down, and picked it up. Instead of putting it back on top of Magnus' pile, he reached out to relieve his boyfriend by taking half of the scrolls from him.

Magnus looked over at him and smiled. It was a smile that was full of light and love and one that he reserved solely for the Shadowhunter.

Alec felt his heart skip a beat.

He didn't think anything of the second time either.

They were in Magnus study. The warlock was sitting at his desk and mixing some herbs in a clear glass bowl and chanting in a demon language that sounded vaguely familiar to Alec's ears, while the Shadowhunter was looking for a book that he had left in there a few months back.

His search was cut short by Magnus calling out to him.

"Alexander, can you grab me some salt from the bottom shelf?"

"Of course." He responded and moved over to the shelf that Magnus kept all of the things that he needed for his work.

He bent down to look for the container but he couldn't find it. He saw ginger, unicorn tears, even some shiny green objects that vaguely looked like scales, but no salt. Still from his squatting position he said, "It's not here."

"You sure?"

Alec's eyebrows furrowed and he looked over the shelf a second and even a third time. Still nothing.

"Positive."

He moved to stand up and when he turned around to face his boyfriend, he found Magnus regarding him with a weird expression that he couldn't describe.

Alec cleared his throat, feeling slightly uncomfortable under the warlock's piercing gaze, "Are you okay?"

Magnus blinked and the expression cleared. "Of course, sweetheart. How about you look on the top shelf instead? I must have moved it."

Alec shook off his feelings of awkwardness and turned back around to look on the top shelf.

It didn't take him very long to find the container of salt sitting between an unlabeled bottle of dark green leaves and a mason jar marked blood?

He didn't know whether he should be more concerned about the fact that Magnus had a jar of blood sitting on his shelf or the fact that the warlock had included a question mark at the end of the word.

Alec grabbed the salt and moved to pass it to his boyfriend. Their fingers brushed while he handed it over and before he could completely pull his hand back, Magnus' reached out to catch his fingers. With a smirk, he leaned down to press his lips to Alec's pale skin.

"Thank you."

Alec bit down on his lip and tried to will the heat the was creeping up his neck to stop.

He failed.

Alec didn't catch on by the third time- the sixth- or even the tenth- being honest he probably would not have noticed if Magnus had not made it painfully obvious one day.

Alec had just gotten home after hours of combat training.

He had managed to peel off his sweat soaked shirt but before he could move to take off his jeans, he heard Magnus' voice calling out from the kitchen:

"Alec! When was the last time you saw the Chairman?"

"Um-" Alec racked his brain and eventually remembered seeing the small kitten before he had left for the Institute. "This morning? Why?"

"I think he might have run away?" Magnus' voice replied. "I've been looking for him for hours! Can you check under the couch?"

Alec sighed before walking over to the bright red couch- no matter how many times Magnus changed up the furniture, it always remained the little creature's favorite hiding spot.

He got onto his hands and knees to look but didn't see anything but blackness.

"He's not under here!" He called out. "Why haven't you-what the hell?" He had turned around to call out to Magnus but ended up finding his boyfriend standing way closer than he had expected. Judging from his position on the floor and where Magnus was stationed, he realized that the older man's eyes had been looking at something, but that something definitely wasn't their cat. He felt heat build up in his face and then slowly but surely work its way down his neck.

"Were you-looking at my-Magnus!" He wasn't able to get his sentence out, he was feeling so flustered.

Magnus let out a laugh and sat down on the floor behind him, "I guess I'm finally busted, huh?"

Finally busted?

This wasn't the first time?

Alec felt his eyes widen at the thought of just how long this must have been going on but before he could open his mouth to attempt to speak again he was quickly cut off by lips pressing against the skin of his back.

They were warm and soft and he let out a shaky breath as they moved along the line of his pants.

Still kissing his way across Alec's back, Magnus murmured, "Can you really blame me, love?" As he spoke, Alec could feel his warm breath against his skin.

"You are beautiful." His hands came up to trail across the Shadowhunter's sides suggestively, causing Alec to shiver. "Every part of you is beautiful."

The younger boy felt a weird mix of flattered, embarrassed, and aroused.

It was hard to concentrate on anything that wasn't Magnus' lips and the sound of his heart in his ears but he managed to choke out, "Is the Chairman even missing?"

Magnus smiled against his skin before lightly nipping at his side, causing Alec to yelp.

The answer to that question would have to wait until later.
