Chapter Text
One day, Meow, Magnus's cat, ran away with one of Magnus's rings.
Luckily, Meow didn't run too far but in an apartment just next door that had the window open.
And Magnus would be damned to lose one of his rings so he of course, followed Meow - through the apartment window next door.
But just as fate would have it, the door suddenly opened and a tall man walked inside. Magnus was quick to stoop and hide in a corner, watching the young man's forlorn face. He was just standing there looking into space - as though daydreaming in a land far away and Magnus, being clumsy at the most inconvenient times, accidentally toppled over a pile of books.
The man swiftly turned around, his eyes wide in shock and in defense. “Who's there?”
Silence.
Magnus swallowed back, looking around him again, deciding it best to quickly leave before noticed.
So he held his breath and because he's extra, he covered his mouth also---- and waited.
When all of a sudden, the owner of the apartment - OK, for clarity's sake, let's call him Alec - towered over him.
Needless to say, Magnus was dumbstruck because for sure, he'd be spending a few days and nights in jail for trespassing and heaven knows what else.
Although, the man - Alec - looked at Magnus - no fear, no confusion - he was just---- staring at Magnus.
But Magnus suddenly felt his whole life reeling in front of him. Captured. No Manicure. No lip gloss. No eyeliners. No glitter. Surely he's going to jail and so before he could stop himself he blurted out, “I’m your cat”.
Then he cringed, expecting the man - Alec - to immediately call the police but to his surprise, Alec gave him a ridiculously wide grin and quickly moved across the room to hug him. “You finally came back”, Alec said, rubbing his cheek against Magnus’s. “I’ve missed you, kitty”.
Magnus blinked. This man was obviously drunk.
But before Magnus could make his escape, Alec already held him by the arm, saying things like, “Let’s go to bed. It’s been a while since we slept together”.
Naturally, Magnus was sweating but the arms around him were determined so Magnus obediently stayed, hoping mr. drunk would hurry and fall asleep so he could make his escape.
But as the night got later, the hug around him got tighter and Magnus soon realised there was no escape and that the next day when the alcohol wore off, he'd end up in jail no doubt.
So he sighed feeling sleepy and strangely comfortable.
After all, might as well he slept and prepared himself for tomorrow.
