Chapter 1
Alexanders P.O.V.
Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Alexander, or Alec as I prefer, Lightwood. I'm 22 years old, and a shadowhunter. Shadowhunters are half angel, half mortal. I moved into my boyfriends place two and a half years ago after my parents kicked me out of the institute because they didn't approve of me being gay and dating a warlock. A downworlder, someone with demon blood. Or in Magnus's case, half demon, half mortal. He's immortal, I'm not. That doesn't stop me from going hunting with my siblings and their lovers while Magnus attended to his clients. My younger sister is Isabelle, and her fiancé, Simon. Then there's my adoptive brother, Jace and his wife Clary.
Magnus and I always ate dinner together, and if there was some sort of emergency, we would wait for the other to return. "Magnus. I think we need to talk." I told Magnus one night. Magnus looked up at me worried.
"Umm...O-okay. What about." Magnus is over 800 years old and I'm the only one who can worry him.
"Don't worry nothing bad. It's just that you've been acting differently for the last month. Is there something going on. If there is you know you can talk to me...right?" I watched has Magnus' expression went from worried to confusion to nervous all in one second. "Magnus is there something wrong?" I asked.
Magnus then got out of his seat and walked over to me. He took my hands and pulled me to my feet. I was over 6 feet tall and Magnus was an inch or two taller than me. Magnus pulled me into the living room and started moving the furniture to the walls with the flick of his wrist so that the floor was clear. Sometimes I really envy that warlock magic. "May I have this dance?"
"Magnus." I wined. I really don't like dancing.
"There's not even music playing." I tried to argue my way out of this. With a snap of his fingers there was soft, easy music playing. Damn this warlock.
"Alright fine. Just this one dance." Magnus smiled and pulled me closer. He put his left hand on my waist, while taking my hand in his other. I put my free hand on his shoulder and we began swaging from side to side slowly with the music.
When the music was done I went to walk back to the dining room to finish my half eaten dinner when I was stopped by Magnus. "I was going to wait to do this tomorrow at Taki's with everyone there, but I guess you beat me to it." He starts. I looked up at him trying to figure out what he was talking about. Beat him to what? By the Angel! Was he going to break up with me? No, that can't be it. Tomorrow? Oh. Tomorrow is when we first met. The first time Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Simon, and I crashed his cats birthday party. Chairman Meow was 600 years old. Even his cat is immortal.
"Three years ago tomorrow is when you and your siblings crashed my party. I'm glad you did otherwise who knows what I'd be doing right now. In the 400 ye-" I gave Magnus a look that said 'really'. Magnus always likes to lie about how old he is. "Okay. Okay. In the 800 years that I've been alive I've never wanted to do this, nor has anyone that's been with me wanted this. I love you Alexander Gideon Lightwood."
With that he pulled a box out from his pocket, got down on one knee and opened the box. In the box was a simple silver wedding band with two different gems. One was the colour of a deep sea blue, just like my eyes. At least that's what Magnus always said. The other one was green with speaks of gold, just like Magnus' cat eyes. His warlock mark, every warlock has some sort of mark. "Will you do me the honor of becoming my husband? Will you marry me?" Magnus asked.
I was crying so much I couldn't even speak so I simply nodded and Magnus got up and kissed me. This kiss was full of love. It was slow and passionate. When Magnus broke the kiss I realized he was crying too. I stopped crying and looked up at him. "I love you Magnus Bane and I will marry you. No matter what my parents or the Clave think."
"I love you too. Oh. One other thing, and it's completely up to you. The ring can either give you immortality or make me mortal." Wait. Does he mean I can be with him forever, or we can grow old and die... together? "You don't have to decide today. Your decision can wait" He explain, but I know my answer.
"I want to become immortal." I say still looking into his eyes.
"Are you sure?" He asks.
"I'm sure." I reassure him.
With that he took the ring out of the box and slid it onto my finger. The minute the ring was on my finger I felt this sort of numb feeling and then it was gone. "You look like the first day I met you when you were nineteen. How do you feel?" Magnus asked.
"I feel fine. Great actually." I went to the bathroom to look in the mirror. Magnus was right. I look nineteen again, and I will be forever. With Magnus by my side.
I was about to go back to the living room when I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around me. "Are you sure you want this. You'll be this way forever and your siblings will grow old and die without you. If you want to change back now it's not too late. I can become mortal instead. You don-" I cut him off with a kiss.
"Magnus. I want this. You have nothing to worry about," I said when we broke apart. He smiled down at me.
"Okay. You do know you have to call your sister like... now. Right? If you don't she'll kill you for not telling her sooner."
"We're still going to see her tomorrow. I'll tell her then." Magnus shook his head and laughed. He turned around and walked out of the bathroom and was headed back to the dining room when I stopped him.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
"Well. I don't know about you but I'm no longer in the mood for dinner." I said and pulled him to our bedroom. Leaving behind poor Chairman Meow who proceeded to jump up on the table and eat the food that was left on our plats. Magnus never feeds that poor cat. He's the size of a cell phone.
*** The next day. ***
"Magnus come on we're going to be late and then Izzy will really kill us. You've seen what that girl can do with her whip. Let's go," I shouted from the front door. We we're supposed to have lunch with Isabelle, Simon, Clary, and Jace. Then we we're going to Jocelyn and Luke's for dinner. Jocelyn is Clarys mother and Luke is her step-father. Luke's also a werewolf, while Jocelyn's a shadowhunter.
"Alright, alright. I'm coming, just give me a minute," I heard Magnus reply from our bathroom. One would think that he could just snap his fingers and his make-up would be done along with all the glitter, but no he has to take hours to do his hair, make-up, glitter, and outfit.
"Okay, I'm ready now darling. Are you?" Came a voice from behind me that brought me out of my thoughts.
"Ya, I'm ready. Let's go." With that we walked out of the loft and Magnus flicked his wrist to lock the door.
We hailed a cab and we we're off to Taki's.
When we got there everyone was already there. We walked over to the table and the first person to see me was Izzy. "Alec!" Yikes. That woman can be loud when she wants to be. Isabelle stood up and walked the rest of the distance over to us.
"Hey Izzy. Calm down would you. Shesh." That might not have been the best thing to say.
"Alexander Gideon Lightwood. I haven't seen you in a whole month. Why?" Oh no. Full name usage, not good. My mother only ever did that when she was not happy about something I did, now it's with Isabelle too. By the Angel someone help us.
"Well there hasn't been much demon activity lately and you guys don't call when there is. I mean it's not like I know anymore. I got kicked out of the institute, remember." That just made her frown. "I'm sorry Isabelle," I try to apologize.
"No. You're right. We don't call anymore. It's just there's no demon activity, and when there is its just small. I'm sorry." By the Angel. Is she crying? She hates crying. The only time I saw Isabelle cry is when she was drunk. She better not be drunk.
"Izzy it's okay. Just call more often. I still enjoy going on missions." I pulled her into a tight hug. She doesn't smell like alcohol. What could it be?
"Okay. I'll call more often."
"Good, just not too often." She laughed which made me laugh and she, Magnus, and I made our way to the table and sat down with the others.
We ordered our food and fell into a nice silence, which didn't stay too long. "So. What new Alec?" Jace asked.
"Nothing much." I responded. I also may or may not have put my left hand up on the table.
Izzy was the next one to speak. "Yes there is. How did I not see this before?" I'm guessing she was asking herself.
Everyone should have stayed quiet at this point, but no Jace had to say something. "See what?"
This time it was Clary. "Really Jace look at Alec, and I mean really look at him. He looks younger." Jace looked over at me, then to Magnus, then back to me.
"What did you do to my brother, warlock?"
That was the last straw. My turn. "Jace! First the warlock has a name, it's Magnus Bane. Learn it quick. Second, all he did was turn me immortal because that was what I wanted." Everyone looked at me. I've never snapped at Jace, other than when we were in the demon realm.
"Alec why would you become immortal. You don't know that he'll stay with you. For all you kn-"
"Jace! I know Magnus will stay with me. By the Angel! We're engaged." With that I held up my left hand to show him the ring.
"Wait! When did this happen?" Asked Isabelle.
"Last night, and before you freak out on me for not calling you. I figured we we're going to see each other here, and that way I could then tell all of you in person so that I could see your reaction instead of hearing it over the phone. Okay?"
Isabelle just looked off to space as if thinking this was an okay excuse before I got an, "Okay" from her.
"Now. Jace, I've been with Magnus for three years. Why all of a sudden the hatred towards him?" Magnus grabbed my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze to get me to calm down.
"I'm sorry Alec. I never meant- I just- I guess with Robert always complaining about you to me, it's just rubbing of on me. It's the way I have to act for him otherwise he'll, and I quote, 'derune me'." Okay, for Jace to apologize about something he did wrong and stumble over his words, he must really be sorry.
"It's okay Jace. Just try not to bring it here. Okay?"
"Okay."
"Okay enough with all this bromance stuff. Izzy and I have some exciting news. So listen up... Please." Simon spoke up. Simon is Clarys best friend and now Isabelle's fiancé. He went from being an ordinary mundane, to a vampire, then back to mundane, and finally to a shadowhunter.
"Alright Sherman, we're listening." Magnus said. Is he ever going to use Simons actual name? What's with him and not using his name anyways?
"Izzy do you want to tell them or should I?" I heard Simon ask Isabelle.
"Tell us what?" Clary asked.
Simon nodded to Izzy and that's when she finally spoke. "I'm pregnant." Wait... What? My baby sister is pregnant. No. Not possible. Okay she's not a baby. She's nineteen, an adult by Clave law. Still I'm going to kill Simon. Wait. Where did that come from? No let's not go into protective older brother in the restaurant. That's why she started crying. It's the hormones.
"Alec? Are you okay sweet pea?" Magnus.
"Ya. Ya, I'm fine." I replied
"Are you sure? You kind of zoned out, and you're a little paler than usual."
"Magnus. I'm good. It was just a bit of a surprised. I'm happy for you Izzy. Congratulations." Out of the corner of my eye I saw Simon let out the breath he'd been holding. Ya he better be afraid. Okay Alec calm down. I turned to Magnus and whispered in his ear so that no one else could hear.
"'Sweat pea', really. You're going to regret calling me that." Magnus just smiled and said nothing, but that look in his eyes was all I need to see to be able to know what he was thinking. I know, I know. Three years of him calling me 'sweet pea' and I still don't like it.
"Alexander and I will meet you at Jocelyn and Luke's. Okay?" Magnus said to everyone all while pulling out his wallet to pay for both his and mines meal.
"Where are you two going?" Asked Jace.
"Alexander and I just need to go back to the loft for a minute."
"Right. Well. Be safe." Izzy said giving us an 'I-know-what-you're-going-to-do' look. That only made me blush all different shades of reds and pinks.
Next thing I know Magnus is pulling me into an alley and opening a portal. Then were back at the loft, ripping each others clothes off.
A/N: How will Jocelyn and Luke react to this news?
Will Maryse and Robert Lightwood (Alecs parents) make an appearance, and if they do what will happen? Find out in the next chapter.
Jace is kind of mean in this one. Sorry to those who love Jace. It gets better don't worry.
Poor Isabelle. You're really going to hate me for what going to happen to her. Might want to get yourself ready.
