AN: My first Malec story. But like my 30 something fanfiction were those I wrote in German :D I am not after many reviews but reviews that tell me what they like or dislike in chapters, or plotting, people, or whatever. So please leave some or message me telling me your thoughts and more than "keep going" :D. That motivates me and maybe you can influence the story that way. So yeah I´m German so please tell me if I did something wrong with grammar or something like that. Now hopefully enjoy the story.
Warnings: drug abuse, gays and alcohol and a very strict law officer. :DD
Disclaimer that no one needs because Cassandra could write what she wanted in her books and doesn´t do fanfictions about her own characters. :DD
Broken Rules
Rule #1: Follow the rules!
Maryse Lightwood was a good and responsible mother. And if there was one thing she disliked, it was pets in her home. Her firstborn son Alexander was allergic to almost every animal-hair one could think of. Isabelle and Max didn't need to go through that too. So when one day Alexander got home, Maryse told him to undress so they could finally eat dinner. And her son would have done that, if it wasn´t for the thing he clutched in his hands so tightly.
"Mum, you know my friend Lucy has a pet and they received babies." He started. Then she looked down at his hands and frowned.
"And she said I could have one."
"No." Maryse said instantly, before he could speak further.
"But Mum. This rat is the one pet that I´m not allergic to. Please. Let me keep it."
At this point the newborn son, Max, cried and Maryse didn´t know where to handle the problems first. The thought of having a rat in her house was terrible. They were dirty animals, and it didn´t matter if Alexander liked them.
"I already said no. Give it to me."
"Mum." He yelled, when she grabbed his upper hand and turned it over. In his palm sat a miniature rat with light gray fur and a small tail. She immediately felt repulsion, picked it up and opened the door.
"Rats are dirty animals. You don´t know what illnesses they harbor."
"But I like it. I really, really like it."
Ignoring him, she opened the door, crossed the lawn and threw the baby rat into the garbage bin of her neighbors. She didn´t like them anyway.
When she got back inside, she saw Alexander crying on the staircase, rubbing his dirty fingers over his eyes. Maryse sighed and sat beside him. Minutes passed and when his bawling subsided into sobs she looked into his face. She almost shrieked when she saw the blotched red all over his face that he was now scratching. His face was swollen.
"You are allergic. Come on, we will see Dr. Hopper right away."
Maryse called her husband to come home right now so he could watch over the smaller children.
When they drove her son didn´t say one word and she almost regretted throwing the rat away. Maybe Lucy would have taken it back. But Maryse didn´t regret protecting her child.
"Alexander we talked about this. No pets. I´m only doing this because I want to protect you."
"I liked him." The small boy stated and began to cry again.
"It doesn´t matter if you like him. He was dangerous and I protect you from dangerous things, even if it hurts you. My rules are to be respected. Rules are what make our lives easier and safer."
Maryse Lightwood was a good mother, that would do anything to protect her children, even if it meant crushing their dreams.

When Magnus Bane woke up he felt good. You would expect that to be not as surprising as it was for him. He had slept without needing to take sleeping pills and that was an accomplishment. One look at the clock told him he was too late for school. But what did it matter when he hadn´t been to school for a week already? Slowly he got up and tried to dodge the glass-bottles that littered his floor.
Apparently his party-guests all went home last night, because he found himself alone in the big house. He felt lonely without anything in his system to keep him happy and no one to provide something for him. Alone. Maybe school didn´t sound so bad. At least there would be someone who sold his stuff. After showering he went to school. His bag was not full with books, but only with the money his parents left for this month and vodka. Magnus arrived when the second period ended, and found himself in the middle of thousands of students. He didn´t know which day was, nor what subject he had in third period. Without knowing his goal, he walked along the hall.
"Magnus, What the hell are you doing here? I thought you would stay home again." A girly voice said.
Magnus turned around. Camille stood before him, her blond hair pulled back into a neat ponytail. He almost laughed at her appearance. So tidy. Not the Camille, who partied with him, could hold more liquor than anyone else and was a hell of a stripper.
"To learn." He answered and tried not to crack instantly.
"As if, Sebastian will not be here until fifth period. You think you can endure school sober until then?"
Students watched them curiously when they passed. Camille was beautiful, but in this moment, no one had eyes for her. Everyone eyed Magnus, blue hair and silver glitter and all. Some of them looked with disgust, while some fucked him right on this spot with their eyes.
"Not exactly sober, but yeah I can endure it. Do you know which class I now have Cam?"
The blonde sighed and watched her friend closely. She liked to party with him, but she was also his friend. Yes, she was not the holy Maria or something, she drank and screwed around. And Magnus, he had lost his grip on reality a long time ago. To see him completely sober was a wonder in itself and Camille worried. She never said so, that was not like her. As long as she wasn´t a junkie, everything was fine. Though some part of her wanted to help him.
"You have math in room 34." She said and watched him go.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The classroom was filled with people that smiled when they saw Magnus. He was such a rare sight to see, that everyone placed bets on him. Apparently one boy was lucky this time and yelled that "he knew Magnus would come today". Magnus enjoyed the attention when he seated himself someplace free. The teacher sat at his desk and hadn´t noticed him yet. This was his opportunity. As fast as he could, he opened his bag and unscrewed the cap. His back was facing the teacher, as he took a big gulp of the alcoholic beverage. Some students watched him, but kept quiet. They even chuckled.
"Hey, drinking alcohol is strictly forbidden in school."
Someone said and for a short moment he thought the teacher had seen it. But looking up he saw a tall boy standing in front of him. Blue eyes immediately showed displeasure and anger that the boy didn´t bother to hide. Magnus eyes wandered down to take in the plainest demeanor one could imagine: faded blue jeans on thin legs, a white button down with a dark-blue tie and black leather shoes. Camille was tidy, but this boy, he embodied the word neatness. What student chose to wear a tie? Even his black hair was combed in a way one would only describe as neat. Though Magnus liked his beautiful face.
"And who are you? Law officer? Come on, don´t bother me."
"I´m in the student council and I have the privilege to give you detention for breaking the rules."
At this point Magnus couldn´t stop his laughter. He laughed until his stomach hurt and his eyes were teary. The law officer now scowled at him.
"What is so funny about that? You will have detention for the rest of the week. And if you don´t show up, I will come up with some other punishment you won´t like. What´s your name?"
"I can give you a hint. It´s not Rumpelstilzskin." Magnus said and laughed again. Partly it was because of the alcohol that now took effect.
"What´s his name?" The law officer turned around and asked a boy. His shoulders were not as skinny as it had seemed in first place.
For the rest of the conversation, Magnus drifted off into thoughts. The law officer said his name twice and then shook him, until he gave him the craved attention.
"So you are the famous Magnus Bane…"
"Famous? Why am I not surprised?"Magnus interrupted him.
"Fame for skipping lessons is nothing you should be proud of. Detention is in room 103 after your last period. I advise you to show up. You don´t want to make an enemy of me Bane."
The law officer hissed. He smelled of tooth paste, Magnus noticed. In third period he still smelled as if he had brushed his teeth just recently. That just added to his neatness.
"And who will be my enemy I wonder? Voldemort?"
"No. Alexander Lightwood."
"So Alec it is." Magnus said and before Alec knew what happened, a kiss was planted on the back of his hand. Again Bane giggled when he imagined the boy in a dress, dressed up as an ancient princess.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

As Camille had promised, Sebastian stood outside the cafeteria and talked to their friends just after the fifth period. When he saw Magnus a smile adorned the pale face. Magnus smiled too, seeing his best friend. Sebastian looked just as angelic in a crowd full of plain people, as he did sleeping next to him. His dark eyes followed Magnus until he stopped right in front of him.
"I want to talk in private." Bane said, his happy mood now completely gone and his voice now sounded hard and forced. His headache was the least of his problems. Worse was the void feeling and the fever that shook his body. He needed drugs.
"Sure. Follow me." Almost mechanically he did, until they were far from all of the students now eating. Behind the east school wall they stopped and powerless Magnus leaned against it.
"When was the last time you took some?" Sebastian asked. He reached into his hidden pocked inside the leather jacket and pulled out a transparent packed which contained three pills.
"Dunno. Five days? A week? I guess a week. Please don´t tease me. Just hand me some."
"What do you offer me as a reward?"
Magnus knew of Sebastian's twisted character. He never did something out of courtesy. Not even for his best friend.
"I have money in my bag, just take what you need." Magnus said, now holding his head. Sweat dripped down his neck, his body now hot enough that he wanted to undress completely to have at least some gratification.
"Money bores me. I don´t need it. What I want is a favor. Just a favor you fulfill whenever I tell you too, and those pills are yours."
"Sure. Sure whatever you ask."
Sebastian's grin frightened Magnus. The withdrawal symptoms didn´t help with that. But when he received the first pill, nothing mattered. Not that his best friend kissed him, shoving the pill down his throat with his tongue. Not the law officer that Magnus saw watching them from the window. Nothing mattered as long as he forgot his life and let the drug control his thoughts.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Alexander Lightwood sat at the desk in room 103 and waited for Magnus Bane. He was the only one having detention today, so the teachers decided that the one giving detention, should supervise it. Alexander was okay with that. As long as justice was upheld, and as long as he followed the rules, nothing could go wrong. Half an hour passed and Magnus was nowhere to be found. The school was empty except for a few teachers and him.
When Alexander had watched the scene at break, he hadn´t understood a thing. Magnus hadn´t looked well, his tanned face flushed, his blue spiked hung down as if they had been glued to his scalp. But Sebastian, as he knew Clary's brother was called, hadn´t seemed to notice or care. Alexander had been about to leave the window, when he saw them kissing. It had not been a peck on the lips. It was a passionate French kiss that had made him flush. He knew some people were not heterosexual, everyone did. But he had never seen two guys kissing. And he hadn´t felt as repulsed as he had thought he would.
No, no one really could be disgusted by Magnus Bane. He was indeed intimidating with his glitter and his beautiful appearance. Even though he was very tall, one thought of a fairy looking at him. Not that Alexander did. But the thing that intrigued him the most, were the contacts Magnus wore. They were light green and cat-like and watched him intensely, as if he was trying to read your mind. Alexander didn´t like him at all and he knew what punishment would await him for skipping detention. Tomorrow would be Saturday, the perfect day to ruin a weekend.
So how did you like it? I don´t drink or do I do drugs, so bear with my knowledge about it. Magnus behavior is also influenced by it, so he is not always a happy fairy haha :D
What do you think Alec has planned? I can´t think of someone who would guess it right away. :DD
