It was one in the morning when Alec got a call. It wasn't like he was asleep anyway, but when the loud ringing suddenly interrupted his quiet thoughts, he was a little bit annoyed. Who in the world would be calling him at this hour? Well, all things considered, it could have been Izzy or Jace. But he decided that it was unlikely. They barely ever called him anyway.
Alec sighed and answered the phone. "Hello?"
The first noises he was greeted with was loud music and people shouting. A party. That meant drunk people. Someone was probably drunk calling him. Great.
"Hello darling," came a man's voice in reply, a voice that no doubt belonged to someone who was, in fact, drunk.
"Um…" Alec wasn't sure what to say. "I think you have the wrong number…"
"Nonsense. I always call who I mean to call. Unless… I'm drunk," the voice paused for a second. "Who is this?"
Alec smiled a bit. "Alexander-I mean Alec. Alec Lightwood." He cursed silently. He would have to start introducing himself as Alec if he wanted people to call him that.
"Hello, Alexander." The man's voice sounded almost… seductive, but no, that couldn't be right. Alec shook his head. It was late, and the stranger was drunk.
"Ummm…" Alec didn't even know who he was talking too. "If it's alright, I'll just hang up now-"
"No!" the voice on the other line sounded forceful. Alec flinched. A couple moments passed, and he didn't hear the other say anything, but he heard giggling and loud music. He figured that the guy had forgotten about him. He was about to hang up when he heard the man's voice again.
"Alexander…"
Alec paused. "… yes?"
"Come to the party."
"What?"
"I said come to the party."
"Why would I do that?"
"I want to see what you look like."
"You're drunk."
"Yes, and you sound pretty. I want to see you."
"Where even is this party?" Alec asked, taken aback by the fact that the stranger had called his voice 'pretty'.
The stranger rattled of an address, and luckily it was somewhere he knew. After much begging, Alec decided to go. 'Hopefully Izzy won't find out,' Alec thought briefly. 'She'd never let me hear the end of it.'
Alec hung up, and sighed. Why had he agreed to this? Maybe it was the fact that the man had called his voice pretty. He shook his head. That definitely wasn't it. He was doing this person a favor, not trying to get a boyfriend. 'A favor to a probably attractive stranger,' the voice in the back of his head said, but he cleared his head again, groaning internally.
Grabbing his keys, the blue eyed beauty exited his apartment and headed out to his car. It had just occurred to him that he had no idea what this stranger looked like.
'By the Angel,' he thought, not for the first time, 'how the hell did I get talked into this?'
Alec paused while putting his keys in the ignition, wondering if this was really a good idea. He wondered what his family would do. Izzy would already be at the party. So would Jace. Max, well, it's not like he could drive anyway. His parents certainly wouldn't approve of him even being up this late if they knew, but it's not like they'd bother to check in with him.
Alec decided that he should get out, even if it was at one in the morning and it was to find some random stranger at a party. He continued putting the keys in the ignition and turned them, pulled out of the lot, and started driving.
It wasn't unlike Magnus to go to party. It wasn't unlike him to get drunk at said party. However, it was unlikely that he would get ahold of some stranger and asked him to come to the party. That was a first. Magnus didn't know what was going through his head. Well, actually, he did, and it was that he was drunk.
Ragnor and Catarina had left him alone unwisely, and he had thought 'One more drink couldn't hurt,' like he did at every party, and now here he was. Wasted, without a ride home, and probably going to have a killer hangover in the morning. So, the usual. It was quite common for him to get drunk on a Friday night, and then just stay over until the next morning. But here, he didn't exactly know the host, and he also happened to have a lunch date the next day, and staying over and sleeping in till 3 was not an option. Camille would flip, and he was already on her bad side. He wanted to make it up to her.
The party was nice though. Not the best he had been at, and he had been to a lot, mind you, but it wasn't bad. Not bad at all.
Magnus was about to go and get another drink when a dark shape amid the colorful bodies caught his eye. A dark haired boy dressed in an old grey sweater stood leaning up against the wall, looking uncomfortable. Magnus wondered if he had blue eyes. He didn't remember walking over but soon he was in front of the boy, and all thought of Camille were gone. The boys eyes had lifted and Magnus's wishes were granted; the boy had blue eyes. Bright blue eyes, with hair as dark as night and light, pale skin, Magnus wanted nothing more than to push him up against the wall and do unspeakable things to him. But he didn't. Instead, he offered the mystery boy a magnificent smile and leaned up against the wall next to him.
The boy glanced at him and cast him a small smile, then his eyes went back to sweeping the large crowd of bodies. Magnus noticing that his brow furrowed and his eyes moved around from person to person. It came to him that maybe he was looking for someone.
"You're too pretty to be here alone," Magnus started, wincing at his slurred words.
The guy replied something that Magnus couldn't understand. He sighed. Maybe this guy just was… well… straight. Magnus had a suspicion, but now he wasn't so sure.
The stranger turned to him, a pained look on his face.
"Why the fuck did I even come here…" He said, drifting off. "Stupid call… probably a prank…"
At this point Magnus wasn't even sure the stranger was talking to him. When he spoke, something about him seemed familiar, and after he had finished talking Magnus knew why.
Magnus giggled. "That might have been me. Sorry."
The boy narrowed his eyes. "What was you?"
"The call, silly. Hello Alexander."
The stranger–Alexander–sighed. "It's Alec."
Magnus shook his head. "Nope."
Alec sighed internally. Maybe externally. It was hard to tell. Now he was stuck at this party, with a drunk dude who called him pretty twice now. Well he wasn't exactly stuck, but it would be kind of rude to just leave when he had just met the dude who had called him here. And he probably wouldn't let him. The guy, whose name he had found was Magnus Bane, basically dragged him everywhere, offering drinks, which eh of course declined. He had to drive back to his apartment, and he couldn't take a chance with becoming intoxicated. He wasn't a big fan of alcohol, either.
Magnus seemed to be, though. He kept downing drinks Alec didn't even know the names of, and he just kept getting more wasted. Magnus sat down, looking exhausted for the first time that night, and two people, a man and a woman, approached him. They both sighed at the sight of the wasted man.
"Magnus, what did we tell you? Camille isn't going to appreciate you not showing up at your date tomorrow because of your hangover," the woman said. The man noticed Alec standing near Magnus, and nudged the woman. She saw him and she didn't seem surprised. "Unless, of course, you've decided to break up with her…" She trailed off, sounding hopeful, but Alec shook his head.
"He kinda… drunk called me," Alec said, embarrassed. The lady's eyes widened and she covered her mouth.
"Oh my god. I am so sorry," she apologized. "I'm Catarina Loss, and this is my best friend, Ragnor Fell."
Alec smiled a bit. "I'm Alec. So you're Magnus's friends?"
Catarina nodded. "Unfortunately," Ragnor muttered. Catarina punched him, glaring at him. Alec laughed quietly. He looked at the chair that Magnus had been sitting in, not surprised to find him up and with another drink in his hand. Catarina saw him and rushed over to him, taking his drink.
"Nope, no more for you," she said to him. Alec looked at Ragnor in confusion.
"Catarina's a doctor. She just… worries about Magnus when he drinks like this."
"So he does this all the time, then?"
"Pretty much, yeah."
Catarina dragged Magnus over, who was now throwing a fit about Catarina 'wasting a perfectly good drink.'
"We need to get him home," she said to Ragnor.
"Not at my place," he replied, backing up. "I don't want him puking all over my carpet again."
"Well, I can't take him, I have work in the morning and he needs someone to wake him up for his date," Catarina argued.
"I thought you wanted them to break up," Alec said harmlessly. She turned to him.
"I do, but Magnus doesn't. He wants to keep their relationship going, despite him barely trying," she answered. "Plus, she'd probably come bitching to us if he doesn't come to their date tomorrow."
"Well, uh… I could… maybe… take him home," Alec stammered, embarrassed. Both people looked at him, surprised, while Magnus whistled.
"Only known me an hour and now your taking me home," he giggled. "I've always liked a man who can take charge."
Catarina gave her best 'I'm sorry' look. Then she spoke. "Alec, its fine. He'll probably end up crashing here like everyone else who's wasted."
"Well, I mean I've got a spare bedroom in my apartment, and this date thing seems like a big deal, so I mean it's not much trouble."
Catarina smiled. "God, Alec, you're a lifesaver. Call me if he's too much trouble, ok?" She grabbed a napkin and pen and scribbled a number on it. "Here."
Alec nodded gratefully. "Thanks. I will." Then he grabbed Magnus. "Come on. Let's get going."
Hey! Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed. However, I am not sure if I want this to be just a oneshot or to make this a multific. I have ideas onw here I want it to go, but if no one is gonna read it ,then there's not really point in writing it. So please, leave me a review and let me know if you'd read more of this. It would be Malec, of course, with some of our other favorites, like Sizzy and Clace.
Thanks! Until next time.
