Birthday
Magnus stared at the piece of cake in which he had inserted the candle. He was alone, his husband went on a mission. Magnus didn't know when he would return. "Make a wish, Magnus," he whispered, blowing out the candle. At the same moment, there was a knock on the door.It went fast! It occured Magnus on the way to the door.
"Alexa ..." Magnus paused in the middle of the word.
Alec was not outside the door. Catarina, Ragnor, and Raphael stood outside the door. "What are you doing here?" Magnus wondered. "We came to take you on public. You won't be alone on your birthday, "Cat replied.
"I don't want to go anywhere," Magnus shook his head. "Let's have a party here," Ragnor shrugged.
"Who says I want you here?" Magnus protested. "You will not be here alone, with your black thoughts. Your husband won't be back any time soon, "Raphael grinned. "Okay."
"I'll come down for a present," Ragnor grinned.
"Happy birthday, Magnus!" Everyone toasted to him. "Thank you guys." Magnus smiled contentedly. "You didn't have to."
"But we wanted to," Cat smiled. "And now a gift," they handed him a wrapped gift together. "What is it?" Magnus asked as he untied the bow. "You'll see," Ragnor smiled mysteriously. Magnus ripped off the paper. "It's a boyfriend pillow," his chin dropped. "It is. That you should snuggle with someone if you don't have a husband at home, "Ragnor shrugged. "Thank you." Magnus buried his head in the pillow.
Alec entered the apartment. He set the bow down and went to the bedroom to greet his husband. Magnus lay in bed sleeping. He was snuggling up to something resembling a pillow with hand. Alec sat on the edge of the bed and kissed Magnus. Magnus shuddered as Alec's cold nose rubbed against his warm face. He opened his eyes. "Alexander!" He gasped. " Hi honey," Alec smiled. "When did you arrive?"
"Five minutes ago," Alec replied. "I see you've found a replacement in the meantime," he nodded amusedly at the pillow. "It's a birthday present from Cat, Raggor, and Raphael."
"Which reminds me that I have something for you, too," Alec said, returning after a moment with the neatly wrapped package. "What is it?"
"You will see. Happy birthday, love. ”Magnus unwrapped the present. "That's wonderful, Alexander."
"Like you," Alec smiled. It was a framed picture from their first anniversary. "What would you say, Mr. Lightwood-Bane, if I took you to a belated birthday breakfast?"
"I would agree, Mr. Lightwood-Bane."
