Chapter Text
“Alec… Alexander… Darling. Come on, Magpie, time to wake up and greet the day.” The warlock was propped up on his elbow looking down at his beautiful, exhausted Shadowhunter.
He’d been trying for almost an hour to wake Alexander; but given that he’d been up all night on a mission, the most he’d been able to get out of him was a few sleepy grunts. However, Magnus was nothing if not persistent.
“Come on my beautiful, Sweet Pea.” He called quietly, this time hovering over his ear. “Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey, Pookie.” Finally, Alec’s eyes opened and he gave Magnus his most annoyed, if not slightly sleepy, glare.
“Did you just call me Magpie? And Pookie?” Magnus smiled and ran a hand through Alec’s messy bed head.
“Yes, I’m just trying a few nicknames out. Seeing if any of them fit.” Alec raised an eyebrow and leaned into the warlock’s touch. “I’m leaning toward Magpie, but Pookie is also pretty good.” Magnus continued, smiling down at his boyfriend.
“If you want me to respond, then don’t call me either.” Magnus laughed and lay back down on the bed, pulling Alec against him.
“Okay, fine.” He was quiet for several minutes while he thought. Alec sighed and started falling asleep again.
“OH I’ve got it! The Great as in- “Magnus said excitedly, Alec laughed and interrupted the warlock before he could finish. “Alexander the Great?”
Magnus nodded and winked. “Because you are pretty great to me. And you’re also pretty great in bed, plus your name is Alexander, so it fits nicely.” Alec felt his face heat up and knew it was probably turning fifty different shades of red.
“Definitely not that one…” He muttered, hiding his face in his pillow. The warlock grinned mischievously and nuzzled the side of Alec’s head, nibbling gently on his earlobe while he was close to it.
Alec groaned in response to Magnus’ ministrations. “What’s wrong, Alexander? Are you embarrassed? Because being good in bed is never something you should be embarrassed about.”
Magnus smirked and abandoned his earlobe to suck at his neck, making sure to leave a mark behind. Alec moaned louder and rolled over so Magnus could see his beautiful face again.
“Shut up and kiss me.” Alec breathed out, wrapping his arms around the warlock’s tanned neck.
“So demanding, Sweet Pea.” Alec sighed and before he could come up with a snarky reply, his mouth was suddenly engaged in something much more fun.
