Hey...um everyone. Long time no see, I felt bad so here is an update! Just so y'all know I kind of fell out of the whole shadowhunter fandom, so this story won't really follow the shadowhunter books that well. However, I still love Nico, Magnus, and introducing in this chapter Alec

Shout out to all the people that commented, the guest that left the one comment a few days ago is kind of what made me remember this story.

That being said, enjoy!

Magnus had a lot more he wanted to ask, a lot more he wanted to do. But it was already 3 in the morning and the small child seemed to almost be falling asleep in his chair, and Mangus could see small shivers run through the boy. Most likely still feeling the chill of the night. " We can talk later, come along, you can sleep on the couch, tomorrow I'll work on adding a room for you," he said and watched as the child was about the protest, most likely wanting to leave. But he was having none of it as he walked into the living room. Magnes noted with satisfaction that he heard the boy get out of the chair behind him.

Mangus snapped his fingers and a few blankets popped into the room along with pillows, the heater was also turned up and the room seemed to heat up a few degrees.

Nico, on the other hand, wanted to argue. He did not want to be a bother, the man was probably just being nice because he thought they were the same. But when he saw the inviting looking blankets and the warmth of the living room any protest fell off his lips. Nico was a cold person. His average body temperature was around 95 if not lower, low for any normal person but this was his normal. Of course, people would touch his skin and make comments on how cold he felt. They assumed he just did not get cold. This was far from the truth, without always having on layers of warm clothes he was almost always cold. His sister…..fuck, he could not think of her right now. He missed her so much, it was like a break in his soul. His sister was always there to keep him warm. Then again his sister was the one that left him, ran away first chances. He already cried so much over here he did not want to do it again in front of this strange man.

So yes, he always felt cold, but he loved being warm. And this room looked very warm. " I'll get you some new clothes tomorrow for you, for now just sleep, you look almost as dead as that skeleton from early, " Magnus said and pushed Nico forward to the couch, without any more words Nico happily let Mangus cover him with a blanket and he was out as soon as, maybe even before, the light was turned off.

Alec loved his boyfriend. Oh by the angle was that odd to say, Boyfriend. It was a lot of work to keep the clave from finding out about the whole ordeal let alone stop his parents from finding out about it. But his sister and Jace knew about it and we're happy for him. And Oh wow was Magnus great, caring and clever. Magnus was happy to just be around Alec, as was Alce around him, but Magnus insisted on fancy dates and trips. Alec had been to more places in the world in the past few months of dating Magnus then he had in his life whole life. Then again travel was a lot easier when you could just open a portal, nonetheless, it was caring and sweet.

With all of this love in mind, he opened the door to the Magnus apartment with coffee and donuts in hand. In most cases, he would have knocked but after weeks of Mangus telling him, he did not have to knock he got out of the habit. " Hey, Magnus you ho-" he cut himself off as he stepped into the living room to see a child sleeping.

A child! A young boy!

The child had dark hair and pale skin. He remained Alec of his brother, little 9-year-old Max.

( still not sure when I'm having this all take place so Max may or may not be dead)

He was about to wake up the boy when he caught movement out of the corner of his eye and looked up to see Magnus's head poking out of the door frame with a finger to his lips and waving Alec over.

With one last look at the sleeping child, he quietly walked into the kitchen, Mangus did a few spells, around the door frame, most likely to keep any sound from getting out" Hello Love, I see you saw the new member of the family" Mangus said all nonchalant as if he did not just find a kid over the course of a night ." Magnus, you can't just pick of Mortal children and bring them-" Magnus cut him off" Not mortal, a warlock I'm pretty sure, and I did not find him he teleported in here himself" Magnus said a tint of pride in his voice.

" A warlock? " Alec had never seen a child warlock before, they were rare, very rare. Demons did not often mate with humans and seeing as warlocks were immortal it's not like there was a need for a lot of them anyway. " I did not see any marks?" Then again the kid's eyes were closed and he may be like Magnus whose mark was on his eyes. " That's the thing" there was excitement in Magnus's voice, " I don't think he has one! If anything his eyes are way darker than any other mundane I had seen but if that is his mark its something no one would ever notice, and if his magic is anything to go off of, he is a child of a high powered demon, how could I send him back out? If the clave found him they would most likely kill him, I just had to keep him" Magnus was using his puppy dog eyes, or maybe kitten eyes were better words.

"He-He is not a pet, he is a child, a growing child," Alec said a bit of worry in his voice, he knew the thing the clave would want him to do is bring the child to them but Alec would never that to Mangus let along any child be it Mandane, down worlder, or shadowhunter. " I know that... I just, he reminds me of myself when I was young, mother dead and god forbid if my father tried to be in the picture, I just thought….I, no we can look after him?"

Alec was about to protest more when the door creaked open and a small boy peeked into the room. His dark hair all over the place from sleep and, Magnus was right, the boy's eyes were dark. Too dark to be brown but you could tell a bit of a difference between his iris and pupil. He was small even for a child at the same time, many things about him were not childlike. The way he looked into the room as if he was scared of being attacked, looking Alec with a calculating look, figuring out if he was a threat or not, but like always Magnus broke the silences.

" Ah! Good morning Piccolo demon, did you sleep okay?!"Alec noted the use of Italian, little demon, and looked at the boy Alec was pretty sure the boy was Italian if not at least half Italian mixed with something Alec could not quite place, maybe greek?

" Anóiti gáta, yes, thank you, I slept quite well, thank you for letting me stay," the boy said with a small huff. He spoke too old for a 10-year-old. Also, Alec was not quite sure but he was pretty sure that was greek, if not an older form of the language. Magnus also seemed surprised. " was the greek? Ancient Greek? Antoni means...stupid and gata cat? Stupid cat, come now Piccolo demon that's just mean " Magnus side with a smile. '' This is Alec, he is a loving little angel and he brought us donuts, why don't you sit down?"

Nico did not take his eyes off this newcomer. Something was off about him. Nico could feel this dark but hot, like fire, sort of aura coming of Magnus, it was hard to explain just this feeling not something he saw but felt. But Alec had this odd glow around him and this cold air that was not cold but calm and peach full. Something he had never seen on a person before. Demigods had their own aura to them depending on who their mom or dad was. Nonetheless, Nico would be lying if he said he was not hungry. He walked back over to his seat and sat down, the same one from last night. And a donut was placed in front of him by Magnus as he seemed to flutter around the kitchen.

" Busy, busy day today! Have to add a new room to the apartment, nothing a little magic can't fix, oh and shopping! Get you some new clothes Nico, can't wear black every day can you hmm?" so the man still seemed to want him to stay here. Nico found himself looking down at his plate….would it really be so bad to stay here? Have somewhere warm and have food? Have someone to teach him and not be scared about monsters? Nico tried to think of an argument up in his head, but he could come up with nothing. No reason to leave or want to run. He picked up his food and took a bite, yah he could stay here for a while...but shopping he did not know about that.

Nico was the son of Hades, the big man of death himself, and yet here he was being dragged around by an over-excited man, well at least this other man, Alec, was also being dragged around. Nico had a few begs in his hands, but Alec, on the other hand, seemed to be Magnus's personal cart. His arms are full of bags of clothes and another bedroom/bathroom needs.

Nico had tried to protest, he really did. He tried to tell Magnus he did not need all this stuff he could make do with just a few things of clothes. But Magnus had shut him down really fast. Saying that he had more money then he knew what to do with and he was allowed to spoil anyone he wanted. The man had then run into a shoe store. " You know there's no point trying to stop him, once he has his mind set on something he does it. Believe me, I tried to tell him that a date did not mean we have to go to Spain but he just told me to shut up and eat my seafood" Nico noticed the man seemed to calm down as if some heavyweight was lifted off his shoulders whenever he was around Magnus.

Nico was pretty sure they were dating, but he did not want to ask. He was born in the 1930s and well his memory from before was still hazy. He was pretty sure two men loving each other was not okay then.

Nico and Alec started to walk to the story that Magnus had run into when Nico's eyes landed on a toy store….he pulled his eyes away and caught up with Alec.

Magnus stood next to Alec as Nico was in the changing room trying on some of the clothes in the new store" I keep forgetting he is 10, he doesn't act like it" Alec found himself saying as he set some of the begs down on the floor from his arm.

" well, he was born in the 1930s but he told me he was in this time loop thing that when he was inside one day was like a year, so well he may be older his body and mind are that of a 10-year-old, but yes, he doesn't act like children I see on the street, but then again children grew up different back then, they did not really get anything, the 30s were a hard time, one of the reasons think it's so hard to get him to let me buy him things, he is just not used to anyone getting him anything, the boy talked of a sister but she is gone dead, mother is dead as well and the father...well you know" Magnus found himself saying,

" Well, I saw him looking at the toy store but he did not say anything about it, I doubt he would ask even if he wanted anything..maybe we go there next?"Alec said his mind a bit blown at the whole born in the 30s but frozen in time thing

" That sounds like a great idea love" Magnus side with a cat-like smile

" This is too much!" Nico said with a cross of his arms as he looked around the new room, no his new room. Magnus had somehow made the room just pop into place. A door had formed out of nowhere in Magnus's apartment and this room was behind it.

The walls were a deep purple with a landscape of a forest painted on it with black. Like magic every now and again an animal would run through the woods. The ceiling was like the sky, exactly like the sky, there were moving clouds and he could see as time passed it was getting darker.

There was a large bed with a curtain around it. The closest it was filled with every type of clothes he would ever need and there were toys pushed into the neet corners. It was not a lot of toys. When Magnus had tried to buy race cars and guns Nico had flat out said he would not enjoy those things. Instead, he had got stuffed animals and a few greek related things. Of course, Magnus had no idea why he had wanted those things but Nico had simply said he enjoyed Mythomagic. Alec had also suggested that Magnus buy him a DS, a toy that Alec's brother Max enjoyed. Nico still really did not understand the technology of today but he would check it out later.

Right now he was just busy trying to stop himself from smiling, he did not have the right to smile, his sister was dead..gone, and here he was living in a nice home and spent the day getting new things just for him...but still...she had left him. She was the one that left him alone at camp well she wanted off to be a hunter...did not even ask him if it would be okay. And she got killed because of it. So maybe he did have a right to be happy?

Magnus noted the to old look on the young boys face and pushed him towards the bed" take a nap little demon, you look tired, I'll wake you up for supper" the boy did not put up much of a fight as he fell into the bed and the events of the day caught up with him. Nico was out with moments holding a strange 3 headed dog stuffed animal to his chest.

" Your right," he heard Alec as he stepped out of the room " we are definitely keeping him"

Dont know what you guys think but Nico's sister is a bitch, she left her little brother! One she raised to go with the hunters, of course, she died before she could really join but one of the rules of hunters is you can't have any relationships with men, including her brother!

Anyway, dont know when I will update again but this will probably not really have a huge storyline more just one-shots, so what you guys want to see next, be it something Percy Jackson related or shadowhunter.
