Alec [ @bowstrung ]

Alec closed his eyes when he felt those familiar fingers in his hair. It didn’t matter where Jace touched him, his touch was usually comfort. “Mm…,” he murmured sleepily. He should have been in bed hours ago, as it was, he was still working and apparently Jace had found a way to draw him away from his work. “I know I need to go to bed. But I have one more paper to finish.” And the Clave wouldn’t really be all that upset if they had to wait until tomorrow to get it. He blinked his sleepy blue eyes open to look at Jace and said, “Alright, alright, I’ll go to bed. Are you happy now?”

Jace had gotten back from his patrol when he’d gone to make sure Alec, Izzy and Clary were all asleep. Finding Alec’s room empty, he had sighed and gone straight to the office. He’d leaned against the doorframe unnoticed for a long moment before he shook his head and walked over, running his fingers through dark hair. “Alec, come on. You know there’s always going to be more paperwork. You can’t keep overworking yourself, you’ll get hurt.” he said worriedly. He reached over to take the pen away, setting it down and tugging at the chair Alec was in. “Come on, let’s get you to your room.” he insisted, trying to pull Alec up.
