Heyy everybody! Okay, so, I started this fic on a whim today, and I think I've made a pretty good start on this, in one day. I'm proud of myself. I know, I havn't written anything in a while, so I hope I've improved. Anyways, this fic is going to be mainly YAOI! MAlec, FTW! Sooo yeah, as you see everywhere, don't like it, don't read it. Charachters are Cassandra Clare's! Gotta love 'em. Enjoy~
Chapter one.
"We're doomed" Were the first words out of the blonde boy's mouth. The black haired girl's face mimicked his, a look of utter horror, while a boy with black hair, who greatly resembled the girl, stood with his arms crossed, not seeming to know what to think. "What have we done to deserve such a cruel fate? There are bars on the windows!" the blonde continued, pointing at one of the windows as an example. It was true, that the window did have bars on it, but that was because it was the window to the gym equipment room, which many people found it funny to break in and steal things.
"I'm sure there's some kind of explanation for this Jace" the girl was the one speaking this time, trying to make herself believe this more than him. "What do you think Alec?" she asked, turning to her brother. Alec looked up, and looked around the school displayed in front of them. It was a very large school, and looked nothing like a jail other than the bars on the one window. It was grey brick, with black trimmings, and block letters with the school's name set into the bricks above the front door. Sir Jonathan Shadowhunter Boarding School.
"Well. . . if mom and dad sent us here, it can't be that bad" he shrugged, fiddling idly with a loose thread on his holey black sweater, "You both know that they wouldn't send us somewhere as punishment". This was true. Maryse and Robert Lightwood may be stern, but neither of them were cruel.
"Well. . . let's get going then. Time to meet our doom" Jace decided, walking forward, the two Lightwood children following. They entered the building along with the other students that were milling around. This day was just for the first-years at the school. A kind of orientation thing to get them settled. As everybody filed in , they took in their surroundings. It was a large entryway, with doors leading off to the sides, and a large staircase going up the middle. There was a set of large ornate doors to the right, that looked right out of castle or something. "Hmm. . . well maybe this isn't doom?" was suggested from the blonde, who was surveying the crowd now, noting attractive people that he might want to talk to later.
"Great observation, genius" Isabelle muttered, earning her a bright grin from Jace. The whole place was buzzing with chatter, people making new friends, or talking to people they knew. The chatter ceased however, when a rather impressive looking man stood on the fourth step of the staircase and cleared his throat. How the sound managed to carry over everyone else's voices was a mystery.
"Hello, and welcome to your new home. I am pleased to meet you all, and I'm sure you will make Sir Jonathan Shadowhunter a very proud school. I am the principal, Mr Morgenstern. As nice as we try to be here, there are very strict rules you must follow" sweeping whispers were cast through the crowd, people muttering to their friends and family about what these rules could be. Mr Morgenstern seemed very serious about them. "However" he continued, "I will not discuss those now. Your homeroom teachers can inform you tomorrow morning. But now, I am going to show you to your rooms. You have each been assigned a room, that you will share with one other. To help you get started socially, it will be somebody you don't know". Alec stiffened slightly. He had been hoping to get a room with Jace, simply because Jace was his best friend, and he knew him so well. They were practically brothers, since the Lightwoods adopted him when he was about eight. "Now, follow me".
Mr Morgenstern swept up the staircase, the rest of the crowd following, looking rather like a mob. "There are two names posted on each door. Down this hallway," he made a motion to the right with one arm, "Is the girls' dorms. Down the other," the same motion, this time with the other arm, to the left, "the boys. Feel free to get settled in. Your things should already be there, and meet in the dining hall in one hour. That's the room with the big doors in the front entryway" he explained, before stepping back and motioning for them to go.
Jace started forward immediately, pushing to be at the front of the line, probably wanting to stake out his dorm and claim whichever bed he wanted. Alec followed, not wanting to be left alone, but found that his best friend was gone already. Turning behind him, so was Isabelle. He sighed, putting his hands in his pockets and starting down the hall, trying to see the names on the doors. He found Jace's first, and he could hear yelling coming from inside already. Apparently he didn't like. . . Alec peered at the name. Sebastian Morgenstern. The principal's son? Maybe. Continuing down the hallway, he was having trouble seeing over people's heads in the way. A lot of people had cleared out, but not being exactly tall, he couldn't see very well. He wasn't short or anything, but standing behind people like that made him feel it. Finally down to the end of the hall, the last door on the left, Alec found his name underneath another. Magnus Bane. He hoped that this 'Magnus' would be as quiet as him, and not give him any trouble or anything. And if the truth ever came out about his orientation, that his roommate wouldn't be a homophobe or something.
Alec drew in a deep breath, grabbing the door handle and turning, opening the door slowly and stepping inside. His gaze didn't have time to sweep the room, since his attention was immediately captured by the person lying draped across one of the beds. Horrified, Alec froze in the doorway. Green-gold eyes looked over at him, surrounded by black eyeliner and glitter. Magnus was wearing an electric blue tank top, tight black leather pants, and a silver glittery belt. And his hair was styled in glitter-encrusted spikes. It was like a horror movie for Alec, but he was snapped from his daze by a smooth voice.
"Mm, you're Alexander?" he asked, eyes raking appreciatively up Alec's lean body. This was why he wore baggy clothes, but this was not what he was expecting.
"U-um, yes. Alec. Uh, nice to meet you" Alec tried to keep his voice steady, which hadn't really worked, but the blush painting his face was unavoidable. And Embarrassing. But his roommate didn't seem to think so. He stretched once and sat up, grinning widely and holding out one ring-covered hand.
"Nice to meet you too. . . Alec. I'm Magnus. Magnus Bane" he introduced himself, holding his hand out until the other male actually walked into the room, closing the door behind him and taking his hand, biting his lip adorably and blushing even more, before muttering a 'hi'. Magnus laughed, dropping his hand and reclining back on the bed. "I've taken this bed, unless you want it?" he raised an eyebrow, watching his adorable roommate shake his head.
"Umm, no, it's fine with me, I don't mind" Alec replied, sitting down on the edge of the bed and looking around at the room now. Anything to keep his eyes off of the sparkly male across from him. After the first shock of seeing Magnus, Alec had to admit that he was incredibly attractive. Maybe even more attractive than Jace, who had been his first crush, and he was still hanging onto. The room was painted a neutral cream colour, and the blankets were black, with crisp white sheets underneath. There were two double beds, two bedside tables, a closet, a dresser, and a doorway leading off to what he assumed would be the bathroom.
"You sure? Because if you want this bed we can always share" Alec's head snapped back to Magnus in time to see him drop a glittery wink, still grinning widely.
"U-um, n-no, it's okay. I'm fine with this one" he patted the bed he was sitting on nervously, looking at the bags on the ground. He only had one, but Magnus. . . had five!Glancing at the boy again, he wasn't as surprised. He looked like he packed more than even Isabelle. In fact, he was pretty sure that this man was wearing more glitter than his sister. But on the bright side, he might be gay, from what he had seen. But he could also have been just kidding, and not gay at all.
Magnus couldn't believe his luck. He had expected to get to this school, and have to share a room with some homophobic dickhead. But no. He got sweet, adorable Alec, with his clear blue eyes and lacking fashion sense. After some more questions, he had figured out that Alec would blush at almost anything that hinted in suggestive. God, could he be any more adorable! He sat up, looking at his bags, noting that his roommate only had one. With his clothes, he wasn't surprised. A holey, too-big, faded black sweater, and black jeans, that looked as if they had seen better days.
Grabbing the nearest bag, the tall boy almost ripped it open, knowing exactly what was in what bag. The first one held his giant rainbow sheep. It was about a foot tall, a foot and a half long, a foot wide, and curly. Its curly hair was a complete rainbow, the top of its back red, and moving down through the spectrum to have a violet stomach. It's face and feet were cream coloured, not unlike the colour of the walls. It's feet were only about an inch long each. Little stubby legs on a huge fat body. Magnus thought it was adorable. He put it in the corner of his bed, and caught Alec looking at it, with a strange expression on his face. He looked confused, but also like he thought it was cute or something. Magnus grinned, running his fingers through his hair, getting a few of his rings caught on the gelled hair, but pulling them free easily. "Meet Skittles" Magnus patted the sheep on the back, looking at Alec with a smile. The boy jerked slightly, like he wasn't expecting him to talk.
"Oh. Um. Hi Skittles" Alec replied, smiling slightly. It was a rather cute sheep, and reminded him a lot of it's owner. He could see why Magnus had brought it with him. He felt a strange urge to hug the oversized stuffed animal, but restrained himself, busying his hands with taking his bag. He took it to the dresser and started emptying his bag, putting things in drawers systematically. All in all he only took up two drawers, leaving the rest for Magnus. "Umm, you can use the other three if you need to. I don't need any closet space or anything" he decided to inform the taller male, who had pulled a bright green pillow and a purple fuzzy blanket from the same bag as he had pulled Skittles. The next thing being pulled out was a small white stuffed cat.
"Hm? Okay. You don't have very many clothes" he observed, setting the cat down on his bed. The cat's name was Chairman Meow.
"I know. My sister tries to get me to buy more, in a variety, but I don't exactly like to wear. . . bright colours" Alec explained, eyeing what Magnus was wearing again. It was all tight fitting, and all brightly coloured except his black pants. He had no idea how anybody could wear something like that and be comfortable.
"Really now? I never would have guessed" his tone was sarcastic, but Alec could tell he was teasing. At least he hoped he was. "You could borrow some of my clothes if you ever wanted to" Magnus offered, grinning. He would love to see Alec walking around wearing his clothes. It would be hot. As long as he found something that fit him properly. There was probably something for him in there, despite their completely different builds. Magnus being tall and thin, Alec being shorter and lightly muscled.
"Oh, um thanks" Alec blinked. He was a bit taken aback by the offer. He knew he wouldn't be borrowing any, but it was nice of Magnus to offer. He really had no idea what was going on in this guy's head. He seemed to have something different added to his personality every time he opened his mouth. He glanced at the alarm clock on his bedside table and ran a hand through his black hair. "Well, we're supposed to be at dinner in about five minutes" he pointed out, causing Magnus to glance at his own clock.
"Hm, so it is. Now, what's you're number?" Magnus asked, pulling an expensive-looking phone out of his bag. There was no way he was letting Alec leave without getting his cell number. At the slightly clueless look Alec gave him, Magnus shook his phone a little, wondering for a moment if he actually had a phone.
"Oh. Sorry. Yeah umm one sec" the blue-eyed boy blushed at his own stupidity, reaching for his phone and pushing a few buttons, looking to where he had his own number posted. He could never remember it. He had no need to, since the only people he thought would need it already had it. His parents, Isabelle, and Jace. "Uhh, 289, 200, 5140" he read out, pausing after each set of numbers to allow Magnus to add it to his contacts. He was quick with that, Alec noticed, his blue nail polished thumbs tapping away at the keyboard on his phone.
Magnus slid his phone closed once he was done, putting in Alec's name, and adding a heart beside it, just for fun. He thought the gorgeous blushing boy deserved it anyways. "Mm'kay, so, dinner" he tossed his phone on his bed, not even bothering to try to put it in his pocket. It just wouldn't fit, and if it did, it wouldn't look very attractive. He headed out the door, Alec in tow, heading down the hallway. Alec followed at what he thought was a good distance, until Jace popped up beside him out of the crowd.
"Hey. I'm starving. Have you seen Izzy?" the blonde asked, looking around.
"Jace. We haven't left the guy's hallway yet. I really hope we don't see her down here" Alec scowled, putting his hands in his pockets. Jace shrugged and continued to walk in silence, which was rare for him. Soon enough, Isabelle came shoving through the throng of people as they made their way down the stairs.
"Hey guys! What do you think of the dorms? I don't know about you guys, but the showers in the girls' dorms are huuuge" she greeted them happily, automatically launching into speech. Alec blinked. He hadn't exactly looked at the showers yet. Or the bathroom, for that matter. He had been busy socializing, for once. But it didn't surprise him in the least that Isabelle had scouted out the bathroom. Filing into the large dining hall, the three looked around, along with others. It was a large room, nicely set out, but it was still cafeteria-ish. There was no avoiding that. Jace led his adopted siblings to one of three long tables, with benches attached to them. There was food set out in the middle, and place settings. It wasn't bad looking, and the three sat down, all of them hungry, along with almost everybody present.
While filling their plates, Jace brought up the question Alec had been expecting. "So, how are your roommates?" he asked, a bit of resentment in his voice, and the eldest Lightwood child thought back to the yelling he had heard earlier.
"Mine's cool. Her name is Maia, and she's pretty awesome. We get along well so far" Isabelle started, smiling. Apparently she was content with the one she would be living with. She and Jace looked to their brother, and he sighed.
"Well. . . mine wears more glitter than Isabelle does" Alec slowly responded, which after a moment of silence, sent Jace into hysterics. He knew how much distaste his best friend normally had for people like that, and he and Isabelle had decided over the years that they probably scared Alec. "He's nice. . . but other than that I don't know what to think" the teen shrugged, busying himself with his dinner and hoping Jace would stop laughing and ask no more questions. Isabelle seemed more interested in his roommate, scanning the crowd of people for who it could possibly be.
"Ooooh, Alec, is it the hot one with spiky hair?" she asked suddenly, spying Magnus a table over. He was talking to the person beside him, and watching Alec. Noticing Isabelle looking at him he grinned and shifted his gaze to her, guessing who it was, and wiggling his fingers in a wave. She laughed and waved back before turning her gaze back to her brother, who still hadn't answered. He poked him in the side, and he turned to look at her.
"Umm, well, he does have spiky hair" Alec admitted, shrugging. There was no way he was going to admit that he was the hot one. Isabelle was the only person who knew he was gay, but he still wasn't going to say it, especially with everybody else around. He took another bite of his dinner, which was pork tenderloin and mashed potatoes. Not a bad meal. It was a rather expensive school, so Alec wasn't really surprised.
"Oh really" Isabelle had that crazy look on her face. The one that both boys knew meant she had some strange idea in her head. "Well you have fun Alec. I'd love to be you" she grinned, and Alec knew she knew something he didn't, which slightly creeped him out. He had only known Magnus for an hour.
DONE! Whew, that was a lot of work. Not really. Anyways~, I'd like some feedback on this. Good? Bad? Like it? Love it? Hate it? Give me some constructive criticism here guys! I need something to work with! And I need ideas. They're always a good thing. So yeah. Until next time! Peace.
