Alec, You Are My Sunshine

A/N (Author's Note): This happened before City Of Lost Souls


Magnus P.O.V.

I had been dreaming about Alexander and myself, when all of a sudden I found myself awake. I felt uneasiness wash over me, as I searched my colorful bedroom with my green-gold feline eyes, when finding nothing dangerous I looked over at the small form cradled in my arms.

Alexander and I had fallen asleep, after a day's worth of stress. Being a Shadowhunter and, I, High Warlock of Brooklyn was quite stressful. His head was tucked gentle beneath my chin, he was also wrapped up in my arms, the bed sheets in hazardous tangles between our joined bodies. I smiled sweetly at his sleeping form, he looked so vulnerable. It was nice having him sleeping peacefully in my arms, on my colorful king-size bed. It had taken a lot of emotional and physical work in order for him to be slightly comfortable with himself and I; it was well worth it all.

I reached over with my left hand and tenderly brushed his smooth, black, and tousled bangs out of his pale face. He was in dire need of a haircut, but (just like his lack of fashion taste) that would have to wait for a later date. He looked so at peace in his sleep, so why was I awake?

Alexander, who had been relaxed before, now twitched underneath my touch. His heartbeat began to beat rapidly and his breathing became rigid. I watched him carefully, wondering what ever was it that he was dreaming about.

"No," Alexander began to softly murmur in his sleep. His voice sounded distressed, I removed my left hand and replaced it on his shoulder. I continued to stare at his pale and sweaty features, hoping that he'd continue; he did.

"Please," he was almost shouting now, "I can explain! You don't need to be rash! Let's talk about this, please!" Worried for his safety, I gently shook his shoulder; it didn't work, he began to whimper though.

"Alec, baby, wake up!" He still didn't respond, so I leaned in and kissed him full on the mouth.  I kept my eyes open, and his beautiful blue eyes opened wide and stared at me with hostility. I gently removed my lips from his and looked at him with concern.

"You okay?"

"Magnus, I... um, I..."

"Shush, its okay darling. You were having a bad dream, you can tell me all about it later. Right now though, you and I are very tired and need our sleep. Let me sing you a lullaby, okay?" He nodded his approval, closed his eyes and I began to sing:

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy,
When skies are gray.
You'll never know dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

The other night dear,
As I lay sleeping,
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
But when I awoke dear,
I was mistaken,
So I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy,
When skies are gray.
You'll never know dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

I'll always love you,
And make you happy.
If you will only say you care.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day.

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are gray.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away...


When I finished the song I gently kissed Alexander's forehead and fell asleep.
