"What the fuck is going on?" Jace shouted as he walked into the apartment. "Get away from him!"

---One Hour Earlier---

Alec felt the bright flashes of consciousness breaking in through his calm, sleeping state. He tried with all his might to hold on to the dreams of him, happy with his husband and their son that they called blueberry for some reason. He mumbled as he tried to keep the images clear, but in seconds they were completely gone, leaving only a peaceful feeling. 

Alec's first thought was that he was dying of heat. It was light he had slept wrapped in a heated blanket. He tried to push it off but it wrapped tighter around him. Alec finally gave up and opened his eyes. It took him a couple of minutes to remember where he was. The sheets above him had fallen during the night and were all covering him. No wonder he was so hot. He kicked at the sheets and heard a yelp.

"Ow." Magnus's morning voice was raspy and Alec was sure he'd never heard a more attractive sound. "Could you at least have tried to say something before kicking me awake?"

"Sorry." Alec realized much later than he should have that the weight he was feeling was the man that he was talking to. Magnus was draped over him just like the sheets and blankets. His arm was tightly clung to his unclothed chest. How had Alec not noticed the feel of Magnus's smooth skin earlier? Magnus's hair was tickling Alec's nose, but he didn't want to move. If he moved the moment would be over and they'd have to go back to normal.

"Morning, pretty boy," Magnus lifted his face off Alec's muscular chest to smile up at him. 

"Uh," Alec, not really thinking, flung Magnus off him and jumped up. "Bye."

Alec bolted to the bathroom as Magnus rolled unceremoniously off the mattresses into the tv stand. He cursed a couple of times as he tried to get untangled. "You know, you could have just said that my breath smelled bad!" He called to Alec with a chuckle.

"You could have told me that you're even more attractive when you've just woken up," Alec mumbled to the mirror as he splashed more cold water onto his face. 

"What?" Magnus's voice was right outside the door.

"Breakfast?" Alec asked as he opened the door pretending to be composed even as rivulets of water ran down his face and chest. 

"Morning routine?" Magnus grabbed the hand towel in the bathroom and started to dry Alec off. Alec wiggled away and scurried to the kitchen.

"You have to let the water air dry," Alec declared even though they both knew this was no normal morning routine. 

"Of course," Magnus took pity on him and followed him to the kitchen. "I say you make us a delicious breakfast."

"And why do I have to make it?" Alec asked with a cocked eyebrow, already feeling more like himself, the save version.

"The fact that I won," Magnus smirked and Alec pouted. "Yes, we are still within the 24 hours and yes, I am holding you to every second."

"Fine." Alec was grumpy. Magnus slid up behind Alec and hugged him from behind. "Now, don't be grumpy my pet, you are much better looking when you're cooking. Now get to it." Magnus jumped back and gracefully took a seat on a barstool.

"You're lucky I li-" Alec froze. What was going on? They weren't a couple. They were never going to be a thing. Magnus was just messing with him and having his fun. "I like to cook."

"Oh really?" Magnus winked. "That's what you like?"

"Guess what our delicious meal will be?" Alec asked with a slight purr in his throat. Two could play at this game and this was one that he would win! 

"I hope it's hot," Magnus growled back.

"Nope." Alec plopped an unopened box of cereal on the counter between them. "Enjoy!"

And with that Alec sauntered to his room to get dressed. 

"What?" Magnus was laughing. "What is this?"

"It's literally all I brought," Alec announced as he sorted through a suitcase of clothes. He was trying and failing to find a single shirt or sweater that wasn't a weird color from the black starting to fade or even a shirt that didn't have at least one hole in it already. He had worn his only one the day before, it seemed. He finally chose his favorite shirt that was once a piercing black, and now was a grey-green color with 3 small holes at the collar on the left side. He took off his sweats and pulled on a pair of black jeans that had holes all over. Izzy told him that he had kept them long enough that they were actually back in style as much as any of his clothes ever would be. 

"That was one magically delicious meal." Magnus chuckled when Alec joined him back in the kitchen. Magnus was in a maroon, silky shirt along with black jeans much like Alec's. His hair was spiked to perfection and Alec had no idea how he had worked so fast. "I'm thinking we should go grocery shopping today."

"Yeah," Alec poured himself a bowl of cereal without milk because they didn't even have that. "We should go soon."

"But first," Magnus leaped to his feet and took Alec's hand that wasn't holding the bowl. Magnus extracted the spoon, set it on the counter, and then did the same with the bowl. "We are going to dance!"

"No." Alec tried to pull his now sweaty hands back. "I don't dance."

"You're right." Magnus dropped his hands and went to the TV. "I can't make you dance unless there is music!"

"No!" Alec was dying. He could not do this.

"Yes, pretty boy. I own your ass right now so you'll dance." Magnus grabbed his hands again and spun them around. "Ouch!" Magnus shouted as Alec managed to step on his foot with both of his at the same time. "You really can't dance."

"I told you." Alec felt proud of himself. Finally, his clumsiness was paying off. He had to be winning at that moment.

Magnus winked. "Go ahead and take a seat."

And with that command, Alec knew that he was back to losing.

"What the fuck is going on?" Jace shouted as he walked into the apartment. "Get away from him!"

"Jace!" Alec stopped fidgeting and whining to Magnus. "You're back!" 

"Hello," Magnus said just as Jace swung at his face. Alec's clumsiness thankfully didn't show in his fighting skills. He caught Jace's fist just before it connected with Magnus's face. Magnus fell to the ground out of the way. 

"Jace, chill," Alec said while blinking his eyes. They felt heavy. 

"What is going on?" Jace asked, finally seeing Alec without Magnus's body blocking him. "You were panicking and telling him to back off." Jace shook his head. "Is that makeup on your face?"

"Yes." Magnus said just as Alec said, "no!"

"Why?" Jace asked Magnus, knowing that he would give him a straight answer. 

"Alec lost a bet and I love to practice." Magnus got up with help from Jace's outstretched hand.

"This is," Jace gave Alec a once-over, "hilarious. Can I help?"

"No!" Magnus and Alec declared as one.

Jace didn't care he had already taken a picture of Alec and was laughing so hard he had tears falling from his eyes. "I love this so much!" He managed to hiss through tears of laughter.

"I'm going to kill you both!" Alec looked between Jace and Magnus who were both laughing now. Alec wanted to kill them but when he saw that they were that happy he decided to let them live a bit longer at least until he could see himself. He got up and walked to the mirror in the bathroom. He burst out laughing when he caught his reflection. There was color everywhere. Even the lashes that were on his eyes were bright pink. 

"What the hell did you do to my face?" Alec demanded off Magnus.

"Everyone needs a bit of color in their lives." Jace started laughing all over again after seeing his friend. 

"Exactly." Magnus wiped at his tears of laughter. "A bit of color."

"A bit of color?" Alec motioned to his face. "I'm the freaking scene for colors of the wind mixed with a child's painting."

"Did you just reference Pocahontas?" Magnus asked while Jace fell to the floor from his laughter. 

"What?" Alec was blushing, not that you could tell underneath all the makeup, "It was Izzy's favorite movie."

"Well, Pocahontas, I think you're as beautiful as the wind." Magnus winked. 

"Get it off!" Alec demanded, still laughing a little.

"Fine. fine." Magnus held his hands up. "I've had my fun."
