"What the duck?" Alec cursed Jace as he was doused in cold water.

"Did you say duck?" Jace asked uneasily.

"I figured it would bother you more than the f-bomb." Alec shrugged.

"It didn't bother me at all." Have puffed out his chest and set down the now empty bucket.

"So, you'd be fine if there was a duck behind you right now?" Alec looked behind Jace as raised an eyebrow.

Jace jumped and went behind Alec before looking behind where he had been. "Damn it! I hate you."

"Yeah, sure. Maybe next time don't dump a bucket of freezing cold water on me." Alec smirked and pushed back his wet hair.

"I did it to help you cool off. You wouldn't stop going on about Magnus." Jace lifted his shoulders.

"I mentioned that he hasn't called me back all day. That's it." Alec rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, and it's sickening. You two are too perfect."

"You are screwed up, Jace."

"Probably, but at least I'm still beautiful."

"As long as you think it then that's all that matters." Alec patted his brother's shoulder and walked away.

After getting dried off he laid across his bed on his stomach with his legs bent, and feet dancing above him. He glanced at his still silent phone and decided to try calling Magnus again before going to his apartment to check on him.

"Sorry, but the user you are trying to reach is currently dead. We apologize for the inconvenience." A voice said over the line.

"I know that's you, Magnus." Asked scolded then snorted. 

"Magnus? He died days ago." Magnus said in a scratchy voice.

"Oh, did he?" Alec feinted interest. "I had no idea."

"Yes, it was a tragedy to lose such a perfect specimen." Magnus continued in the scratchy voice. "So beautiful."

"Ah, he was all right, I guess." Alec held in his laugh. 

"What?" Magnus's voice cracked.

"Magnus, I know it's you." Alec rolled his eyes.

"How?" Magnus asked in a still scratchy voice.

"Because I'm not an idiot?" Alec laughed.

"So, you're not Jace?" Magnus teased.

"Exactly. You have a cold don't you?" Alec smiled into the phone.

"Yes, I believe it could be the black death." Magnus said dramatically and plopped down on his couch.

"Or just a normal cold." Alec offered.

"No, I swear it's going to be the death of me!" Magnus coughed.

"You're immortal."

"And yet, here I am, dying." He coughed some more. "I would love to see you one last time but I want you to live."

"Do you want me to bring some soup?" Alec offered as he pulled on his coat and boots.

"No!" Magnus screeched and coughed again. "Spare yourself!"

"I'll be there in a half hour." Alec hung up the phone as he walked out of his room right into Jace who was holding out his phone with a confused look.

"Why did Magnus just send me this?" Jace shoved the phone into Alec's face.

Alec pulled his head back just before getting hit by the phone. "Damn it, Jace. I can't read it if it's inside my eyeball."

"Right." Jace took it back and read it. "He said: I know I never really liked you that much but for some reason, Alec does so I've tolerated you. I won't miss you but I know Alec would like to think that I would so goodbye blonde one. You will miss me, I'm sure."

Alec fell over laughing. He caught himself against the wall and kept laughing.

"What the hell, man?" Jace glared.

"Magnus," Alec choked because of the laughter. "Magnus, has a cold." He spit out before laughing again.

"He's an ass." Jace smiled though.

"A dramatic ass," Alec agreed. "I'm going to go check on him. Will you cover for me?"

"As long as you get him to lose my number." Jace cocked an eyebrow.

"Deal." Alec patted Jace's shoulder.

"Magnus, I'm here." Alec walked in after waiting over five minutes outside with no response.

"I told you, Magnus is dead." Magnus wheezed and coughed.

Alec followed his voice to his room and saw Magnus covered in almost every blanket that he owned. Alec smiled at his eyes which were the only part of Magnus that he could see through all of the blankets.

"Awe, my poor baby." Alec said in the same voice he would use with an actual baby. "How are you feeling?"

"Do you remember when you almost died?"

"Which time?"

"Any. I feel worse."

"I doubt that." Alec laughed and pulled back some of the blankets so he could see Magnus's face. "Now, let's get some food into you."

"I can't use my hands." Magnus looked down at the piles of blankets.

"You're so dramatic." Alec shook his head and opened the container of Chicken Noodle Soup. "Open up."

Alec spent the next thirty minutes feeding Magnus. 

"You spoil me." Magnus smiled as Alec wiped his lips clean. 

"Not that you give me much choice." Alec pointed out.

"Why would I?" Magnus smiled.

"So, do you think you might live?" Alec joked.

"Maybe. But we'll see." Magnus coughed.
