This is a little something that popped into my head on the way to work a couple of weeks ago, but I got distracted and forgot about it. So before I get involved with my next series, I want to share this with you, my dear readers. xoxo

Alec is enjoying his morning coffee in the dining room. He is reading reports and not paying attention to ShadowHunters, who are eating breakfast and talking. Izzy has encouraged him to spend time with the unit instead of always being locked up in his office.

Izzy is sitting at a different table and watching Cecil ogle her big brother. Her MARRIED big brother. If it isn't apparent by the wedding band on his left ring finger, than it should be apparent by the coffee mug near his right hand. A coffee mug that Magnus got him.

Jace walks into the dining room and gets a bottle of water. He sits in front of her.

"Izzy, what's going on?"

"Jace, how long has Cecil been here?"

Jace shrugs, "He came over from Jersey about a month or so ago, why?"

"Because he is sitting there staring at Alec."

"Looking isn't a problem, Izzy."

"He isn't just looking, Jace. If he were 'looking' at me like that, I would have slapped him a long time ago. I've heard that he has been interested in Alec since he first got here."

"Oh?" Jace glances at Cecil.

Cecil has no food or drink in front of him, he is only in the dining room to stare at the Head of the Institute.

Jace nods and gets up. He goes over to Alec and sits in front of him.

Alec looks up from the report he is reading, and smiles at his parabatai, "Morning, Jace."

"Morning Alec. Have you noticed that you have an admirer?"

"No, who?"

"Cecil."

"Cecil? Gee, I don't remember who that is."

Jace laughs, "New guy from Jersey. Reddish hair, lots of gold chains."

Jace gets a text message.

Izzy

He laughs.

Cecil moved two seats over because he couldn't see Alec. Guy is creeping me out.

Jace turns around and looks at Cecil.

Cecil smiles at him.

Jace glares at him and turns back to Alec, "He might be a problem."

Alec sighs, "I'll talk to him and inform him that I'm happily married."

Jace nods, "Right, also let him know that your husband is the High Warlock of Brooklyn and not a man he wants to fuck with."

Alec laughs, "Let's not bring Magnus into this. Once I tell him that I'm not interested, he will find someone else."

"I hope you are right, for his sake."

Alec laughs. He looks at his phone, "Gotta go, conference call with the Clave in fifteen minutes." He gathers his papers, grabs his mug, says 'later' to Izzy and Jace, and walks out of the dining room.

Jace turns around. He and Izzy watch Cecil, as he watches Alec walk out.

Cecil smiles at Izzy and Jace as he stands to leave.

Jace goes over to him. Jace looks down at the shorter man, "Alec is married."

Cecil nods, "Yes, I know."

"Then stop."

Cecil laughs, "Married doesn't mean that he is off limits."

Izzy laughs, "Married means that he has a husband that won't like the way you are looking at Alec."

Cecil looks from Izzy to Jace, "We'll see." He walks around Jace and leaves the dining room.

Jace looks at Izzy, "Guy has issues."

Izzy nods, "I hope for his sake, he gets over them quickly."

Cecil runs after Alec, "Alec, can I have a word with you?"

Alec sighs, "I'm in a hurry."

Cecil walks up to him and smiles, "Just a minute of your time." He touches Alec's arm.

Alec takes a step back, "I'm married."

"Married is an old fashioned concept. This is the 21st century and as long as he doesn't know, we can have fun."

Alec coldly says, "We are not having fun. I'm not interested, end of discussion."

Cecil steps closer to Alec, "Oh, it's just the beginning of the discussion. Think of all the things we could do."

Alec shakes his head and starts to walk away. Cecil grabs his arm.

Alec glares at him, "Remove your hand."

Cecil smiles, "I'm not finished."

Jace walks in between them, and pushes Cecil away from his parabatai, "He's not interested, back the fuck up."

Jace looks at Alec, "Go, I'll handle this."

Alec nods and walks into his office.

Cecil stands in front of Jace, "This doesn't concern you."

Jace coldly smiles at him, "Maybe yes, maybe no. But it does concern him."

Cecil sneers, "Who's him?"

Cecil's arm is grabbed and he finds himself looking at Magnus, "Him would be me."

Cecil tries to pull his arm from Magnus' grip, but Magnus creates a portal and drags him through it.

Jace smiles as he takes out his phone and texts Magnus.

Remember he is still a ShadowHunter.

A couple of minutes later he receives a response.

That is the only reason why I won't kill him.

Jace nods, satisfied that the 'Cecil problem' has been dealt with. He walks away.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Four hours later, Alec finally gets a chance to look for Jace, he wants to know what happened with Cecil.

He finds Jace with Izzy and Clary in the War Room, watching over the city.

"Jace, did you talk some sense into Cecil?"

Jace smiles, "No, but he isn't a problem anymore."

Alec sighs, "Jace, don't tell me you told Magnus."

Jace laughs, "I didn't tell Magnus. Izzy told Magnus."

Alec groans, "Izzy, why?"

Izzy smiles, "Cecil wasn't going to take 'no' from you, but Magnus can be more convincing."

"More convincing?"

"Yes, Alecander. I told him, that it would be in his best interest to leave my husband alone."

Alec turns around and looks at Magnus, "Best interest?"

Magnus smiles. He kisses Alec gently, "Yes, as in, if he likes living."

"Where is Cecil now?"

"In his room recuperating."

"What did you do to him, Magnus?"

Magnus smiles, "I neutered him."

Izzy and Clary burst out laughing.

Jace winces, "Ouch."

Magnus nods at Jace, "He no longer has balls. Which is what happens when you go after the husband of the High Warlock of Brooklyn."

Alec sighs, "Magnus..."

Magnus shakes his head, "No, do not 'Magnus' me. We had an interesting talk and that shitstain thinks that I should share you. And nothing I said changed his mind. That is why I removed his balls, because my threats weren't enough for him to understand that you are married to me and I do not share. The only reason why he isn't dead is because he is a ShadowHunter. But I let him know that he is not to go near you and if he does, then ShadowHunter or not, he is a dead man."

Alec shakes his head, "I could have transfered him to another Institute."

"Oh I told him that was an option, but he's convinced that him being sent here was a sign that he was meant to touch you. He's lucky he still has his hands."

"Magnus, he actually said that?"

"Yes, Alexander. I quote 'Why else was I bought to New York if not to fuck Alec?' end quote."

Clary says, "That is nasty."

Jace nods, "I would have chopped off one of his hands."

Magnus smiles, "Thank you. He's lucky I took his balls instead, after he said that."

Alec sighs, "Fine, as long as this is the end of it."

Magnus nods, "It should be."

"I hope so."

Magnus puts his arms around Alec and kisses him, "Lunch?"

Alec smiles, "Okay."

"Excellent. What time do you have to be back?"

Alec laughs, "For a change, I have nothing planned for the rest of the day."

"Even better." Magnus smiles at the others, "Alec is mine until tomorrow."

Izzy smiles, "Alec is yours, period."

Magnus smiles, "Exactly."

Alec and Magnus say goodbye and leave through a portal.

Jace, Izzy and Clary go back to watching over the city.

the end?

Hmm, anybody interested in more?

I kind of want to kill Cecil. :D

Does that make me a bad person?

Oh and Alec's mug was the main purpose of this story. There's a link over at malec_4ever if anybody wants to see it.
