Chapter 1

Hey! This is my favorite Mortal Instruments fanfiction. This story is based off of an idea my bff and I came up with when she was over at my house.

This is in 2008 and Alec is 19. This is after CoLS. They made up and after a while, Alec moved to Brooklyn to live with a certain wonderful warlock.

I don't own anything except Ambrosine and the plot. The wonderful Cassandra Clare owns everything else!

Enjoy!

Magnus Bane woke up in his lover's arms. He stared at the boy, examining every day. Alec shifted and opened his eyes.

"Good morning beautiful." Magnus smiled.

Alec snugged up closer to the warlock. Downworlder and Shadowhunter lying peacefully side-by-side.

"We have to get up," Alec announced. He tried to get up, but Magnus just tightened his grip. "Magnus, we really do need to get up."

"No! You shall never escape!" Magnus laughed evilly. Alec squirmed a little bit, trying to get free. "Resistance is futile!"

"Let me go," Alec commanded.

"I will not let you go," Magnus sang.

"Please?" Alec begged.

"Fine. But…" Magnus trailed off.

"But what?" Alec asked, knowing the look on his boyfriend's face. Magnus chuckled and got up to get dressed. Alec stood up and threw on a dark green sweater and a pair of jeans. His shoes were almost worn all the way through and the only piece of jewelry and the only accessory he had on was a necklace from Paris Magnus had gotten him. Ma chere je t'aime was inscribed on the circle charm on the bottom.

Magnus, unlike Alec, was wearing brighter clothes. He had tried on four other outfits before deciding he liked that one. He was wearing a fishnet shirt, his rainbow pants, and a choker the exact shade of blue as Alec's eyes.

"Come along. We are going shopping," Magnus declared, grabbing Alec's arm and started dragging him out the door. Alec started digging his heals as soon as he heard the word 'shopping'. "Oh come on," Magnus persisted, "it'll be fun!"

"This is… weird," Alec said as he and Magnus walked hand-in-hand through the outdoors shopping strip.

"You're just not used to shopping. But you will." Magnus stated.

"And why does it feel so-" Alec got cut off by a young girl walking up to him. She had on a blue shirt, khaki knee-length shorts, a fedora with odd patterns on it, knee-high rainbow mis-matching socks, blue eyeliner, and purple lip gloss. She looked up at the two with her blue-gray eyes and smiled.

"I'm Ambrosine," she introduced, sticking her hand out.

"Alec."

"And I'm Magnus," they introduced.

"You're a warlock. You have magic. I can do a magic trick. I can make your biggest wish come true. The thing you wish for the most," Ambrosine pointed out randomly.

"Oh can you?" Magnus asked.

"Do you not believe me?" she looked over at Alec and pointed at him, "He doesn't. I can change your mind." She touched his arm for a second his arm for a second before pulling away. "You will see, Alexander Lightwood. You will see."

Magnus and Alec walked into their apartment after three hours of shopping. They were both carrying bags of different tops, bottoms, hats, jewelry, makeup, and hair products. They also had boxes with new shoes for both of them.

"Well that was fun," Magnus voiced while setting the bags down and waltzing over to the couch. Alec plopped down next to him.

"We have different definitions of 'fun'."

Magnus wrapped an arm around his boyfriend's shoulders. Alec leaned into him and they just sat there. They didn't talk or anything; they just sat and thought. Each one thinking about how lucky they were to have each other. That was, until Magnus remembered something.

"Hey Alec?"

"Mhhm?"

Magnus laughed at the half-asleep boy. "What is your biggest wish?"

"Right now? To get some sleep. The sun and shopping drained me."

Magnus frowned. "But I don't want you to go to sleep. I want you to stay up with me."

Alec started slipping until his head was in Magnus's lap. "Can't. To sleepy."

Magnus snapped his fingers and handed Alec a cup with a drink he couldn't identify. Alec stared at the liquid suspiciously before sitting up.

"What is this?" he asked.

"Just drink it," Magnus ordered.

"Is it a potion?" Alec had gone back to staring at the cup.

"It is not a potion. It will not hurt you. Just drink it."

"Fine." Alec gave in and drank out the contents of the cup. A few moments after he set the cup down, his eyes widened and he started feeling himself get more and more energized. "What was that?"

"An energy drink. A very strong energy drink. Don't feel like sleeping now, do you?"

Alec shook his head furiously. "Nope."

"Great what do you want to do?"

"Umm…" Alec jumped up and started walking around the room quickly. "No idea. You?"

"No. But if you had fallen asleep I would have been bored."

"No boredom! No boredom!" Alec chanted.

"I've got it!" Magnus called. "We think of an adjective for each of our friends, but the adjective has to start with the first letter of their first name."

"Okay!" Alec sat back down on the couch. "You are magnificent."

"Aww. You are angelic. You do Clary."

"Confusing. Jace?"

Magnus was shaking his head from Alec's answer. "Jace? Ugh, jerky. Isabelle."

"Alec rolled his eyes. "Intimidating. Simon?"

A little while later Alec and Magnus were passed out on their bed. They were wrapped up in each other's arms, as they were every night, and dreaming of happy times between them. Since both were asleep, neither noticed the black mark drawing itself on Alec's forearm; right where Ambrosine touched him.

The name-adjective game is something I've actually done. It helps if you're bored.

I feel like a ninja. One, there is a HUGE hint as to what just happened and what the mark does somewhere in this chapter. Second, I slipped a Queen reference in here too! I'm a flippin' ninja!

Review please! Reviews are like glitter! I LOVE them and they are AMAZING!

Carpe Diem, IzzieGS
