Ok so I've been reading the mortal instruments and I just got obsessed with Magnus and Alec cause they're so cute and adorable and they should be together for ever and ever. Anyways I got inspiration from something that happened to me and thought "what would happen if Alec works at a store?" and so here goes. Also not a big fan of the title, might change it, probably will :P

Anyways hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1: They meet.

For the both of them the day started off like any other. Except it wasn't. Today was Alec's second day at his new job at the local supermarket, it was a bit small but that's why he liked it. Less attention on him, only talking to people when he absolutely needed to. His job was divided between stacking food on the shelves and being the cashier. Being a small supermarket only one person was needed per shift. He wasn't a big fan of being a cashier since it actually meant he had to talk to people but he could deal with it. Plus he got very few people coming in since his was the night shit so he got to either read or draw in his spare time. You see Alec was an Art major but he enjoyed reading books, especially the classics, so when he wasn't drawing he was reading and vice versa. His parents payed for classes at the college but he lived in a small one-bedroom apartment so he needed this job to pay for rent and buy food. Little did he know that his world was going to be turned up-side-down by an exotic, sparkly, green and gold-eyed, black haired boy.

It was around 8 o'clock when Magnus decided to check his cupboards for food and realised he had absolutely nothing to eat.

"Guess I'm going to the supermarket huh Chairman? Hmm at least I'll have a nice chat with Simon."

"Meow"

"Yes yes I'll buy you cat food. If I'm not back in thirty minutes call the police ok?"

"Meow"

He chuckled, pet his cat, and set off to the store. Five minutes later he entered the store, and not finding Simon anywhere, he went walked around to get his and Chairman's dinner. What he did not expect to find was a black-haired, blue-eyed beauty reading a book.

"Well hello beautiful, what are you reading?"

The boy in front of him looked up, realising there was someone at the checkout counter, blushed tomato red -which Magnus found so adorable- and replied "Oh um hi. Sorry, didn't notice you there" and put his book down as scrolled the food down the checkout counter. Magnus sneaked a peek at the book the boy was reading and tried again to start a conversation.

"Dumas huh?"

The beauty in front of him looked up again this time with a smaller blush and said "Um yea. Total's $6.43" as he packed the food in a plastic bag. Magnus was a bit surprised at the lack of conversation from the boy but went to retrieve the right amount of money anyways. He handed the money to the boy in front of him and started to leave, a bit dejected that he didn't have any reason to stay anymore and talk to this blue-eyed wonder.

"Um excuse me?"

Magnus turned around surprised and happy, hoping to get a bit of conversation but instead the boy just said "You forgot your food"

Magnus facepalmed himself in his head and went back to get the bag of groceries.

"See you around beautiful" He said with a wink as he turned around and left the store to get back home to tell Chairman Meow of this wonderful encounter.

Alec let out as a sigh of relief when the older teen left the store. Not that he wanted him to. Actually, Alec wasn't sure what he wanted. He was in his own world as he was reading The Count of Montecristo, one of his favourite books, when he heard a smooth, silky voice calling him beautiful and asking him what he was reading. Of course he had to blush bright red for not realising there was someone at the counter and then for the breath-taking cat-like green-goldish eyes of the person in front of him and muttered a reply as set the book down and began scrolling the food on the counter. The stranger asked him another question and he replied offhandedly and relayed the total while packing his food for him. teen in front of him payed him and Alec watched, slightly amused, as he walked away without his food and called him back to tell him so. As he left for the second time he gave Alec a wink. A WINK. THAT he did not expect. Which of course made him blush. Though as he thought back to the recent events, he recalled what the stranger was wearing and blushed a bit more. God how he hated his blush! The boy was wearing tight black leather pants with red lines on the sides, a white and red shirt with glitter on it, and white ankle high converse. But what shocked him the most -apart from the glitter- was that he had make-up on. MAKE-UP! A thin line of black eyeliner around his eyes with matching red eyeshadow. He also had stripes of red in his hair as well as an insane amount of glitter. He sighed again, not knowing what to think about the extravagant stranger that came to the store, and lost him self in in his book again.

All Magnus was thinking about while making his way home was black hair and blue eyes. Also he was thanking the stars that Simon didn't have the night shift so he was able to meet the boy. Magnus frowned as he recalled their non-existent conversation. He was going to have to change that, he decided.

He arrived home, scooped Chairman Meow into his arms, and told him "I just met the most beautiful boy today"

"Meow"

"Yea yea here's your food" he said as he set Chairman near his now full food bowl.

Magnus started preparing his own dinner and meanwhile he took out his phone and called Simon. He picked up after a few rings.

"Hello"

"Hey Si, you busy?"

"Hey Mags, nope just at Izzy's. What's up?" Magnus heard someone -probably Izzy- shout a "hey!" and Simon's chuckle.

"Oh hey you still need to introduce us! Anyways, thats not why I called. I just met the most gorgeous boy in the world. And he works and the store. So spill. Who is he?"

Simon chuckled again, being used to Magnus' antics.

"Oh thats probably Alec. Alec Lightwood. But his full name's Alexander"

Magnus thought back to the blue eyed boy and thought his name fit him perfectly. He smirked, having something to say next time he went to the store.

"Alexander huh? Fits him. Black haired, blue-eyed?"

"Yup that's him."

"And why did you not tell me the most gorgeous guy in the world is working night shifts at the store?"

"Didn't think it was important? Forgot? Take your pick." Simon chuckled for the third time.

Magnus scoffed at that. Really, he should have expected this from Simon.

"Fine fine. Gotta go, food's ready. See you in class"

"Yea see you tomorrow" replied Simon. Magnus hung up, ate his dinner while watching an episode of America's Next Top Model -sure he's a Lit student but that doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate fashion- while cuddling with Chairman Meow and got ready for bed. That night all he dreamed about was black hair and blue eyes.

And that was chapter 1! Hope you liked it. I'm just gonna give a warning saying that I have a very GENERAL idea of where this is going and that's it and that I don't know when the next update will be. BUT it is summer and I have nothing to do so maybe soon-ish? :P Anyways if you have ideas, for the next, or for that matter, any, chapter let me know and I might include your idea, giving credit where it's due of course. Oh and there's also gonna be Sizzy cause I also find them adorable. I'm not yet sure if I'm gonna add any Clace yet I'm still deliberating. Oh and sorry if it seems a bit repetitive. It's just that they don't know each other's names yet so hopefully in the next chapters it won't happen :). Also I really like the idea of Magnus making conversation with his cat so I included that :P

Until the next time and let me know what you think!
