(Y/N) and Alec Lightwood made a surprisingly cute couple.
Alec, who was a shadowhunter, always hated mundanes. He never considered them as inferior, but he has always found them quite helpless and confusing. He never understood them or their lifestyle or why they were so fond of such things as Twitter or TV reality shows. Obviously, mundanes didn't have to worry about demons or th battle against evil, but Alec thought that there were more important things to do in life than sit on a couch and watch a football game.

This is why everybody was surprised to see Alec get on really well with a mundane.
(Y/N) and Alec met at a bar in town one night.
Alec was on a mission with his sister, Isabelle, and (Y/N) was just having a few drinks all by herself. Alec had accidentally spilled a drink all over (Y/N)'s shirt as he pushed someone out of the way. He was such in a rush to leave the bar – which was way too crowded with mundanes to his displeasure, that he hadn't noticed that (Y/N) was yelling at him, until she voluntarily spilled her own drink on him.
"What the hell?" Alec had shouted as he turned around to face a very angry-looking girl.

"Newt time, you'd want to be more careful and apologize!" (Y/N) has yelled back at him.

"What did I do?" Alec asked, confused but still angry.

"You're being a jerk!" (Y/N) had said before storming out of the bar.

Then, a few days later, Alec and (Y/N) bumped into each other again, but this time, the atmosphere was a lot more at peace.
(Y/N) had apologized to Alec for her behaviour in the bar.

"I was having a bad day and, well, I was a bit drunk." (Y/N) had explained to him.

She had offered him to go get some coffee and, to his own surprise, Alec had accepted. Since then, they were always hanging out together. Alec had told her that he was a shadowhunter and, oddly, (Y/N) didn't seem surprised.

"I had a friend once, she was a shadowhunter too. I could tell you were one by the runes on your arms." (Y/N) had told Alec.

"People usually think they are tattoos." Alec shrugged.

"People are usually blind. They only see what they want to see." (Y/N) had said.

(Y/N) was sat on her bed when she heard footsteps downstairs.
She grabbed the first thing she found and held it in front of her, ready to defend herself.
But the person who opened her bedroom door was no murderer or kidnaper, but her boyfriend, Alec Lightwood. Alec looked at his girlfriend, who was holding a lamp in her hand.

"What the hell are you doing?" He asked, puzzled.

"I thought you were a intruder!" (Y/N) said, putting the lamp back down on her bedside table.

"And what were you hoping to achieve with a lamp? Blinding me?" Alec asked, slightly amused.

"Oh, shut up." (Y/N) rolled her eyes. "I wish you would stop using a rune to unlock the front door. Normal people knock, you know." (Y/N) stated.

"Normal people are boring." Alec shrugged.

Alec sat down on the bed next to (Y/N) and kissed her forehead.

"I was just checking on you. Is everything OK?" Alec asked.

"Yes. You know you don't have to check on me every night, right? I can defend myself." (Y/N) said, she sounded confident.

"Yeah, I saw that. That lamp looks pretty lethal." Alec said, sarcastically.

"Shut up, will you?" (Y/N) laughed as she threw a cushion at Alec. He laughed too but then looked serious again.

"It's just that now that Valentine is back and everything, I'm worried about you." Alec declared, concerned.

"I'm fine, Alec. Plus, I'm not gonna wander around the streets at night. I have a date with Netflix tonight." (Y/N) smiled.

"What?" Alec said, angrily.

"What?" (Y/N) asked, confused.

"Who's that guy?" Alec was furious.

"What guy?" (Y/N) asked, perplexed.

"That Netflix guy? The guy you said you're going on a date with!"

(Y/N) bursted out laughing. Alec still looked furious.

"You think it's funny?"

"No, babe, listen." (Y/N) tried to stop laughing. "Netflix isn't a guy. It's a Platform to watch movies and TV series." (Y/N) eplained.

"But you just said something about a date." Alec said, confused.

"It's an expression. What I meant to say was that my plans for tonight are to watch movies on Netflix, see?" (Y/N) turned the TV on and the screen read 'NETFLIX'.

"Oh." Alec felt a little embarrassed.

"I would never go on a date with someone else than my adorable non-mundane boyfriend." (Y/N) declared.
(Y/N) kissed Alec's lips and then looked at him.

"Do you have plans for tonight?"

"Not really." Alec shrugged.
"Would you stay with me then? We can cuddle and Watch Netflix together." (Y/N) said.

"I'd like that." Alec smiled and laid down on the bed, holding (Y/N) tight against his chest as they watched 'FRIENDS' for the rest of the night.

"I like Netflix, after all." Alec told his girlfriend, halfway through their 'FRIENDS' marathon.
