A/n: Hey everyone! I haven't been really nice lately and didn't update or write anything for a while now. Well, I went to my daddy's hometown for ten days last week and where I was to didn't have any internet connection or barely any cellphone reception. So yeah. But the trip was fun, and I saw a moose on the high way coming home.
So, this idea was originally going to be for an original story.. but I'm not able to use this idea with my characters for a while and I'm just bursting to use this! So I decided to write a fan fiction!
So anyway,
Enjoy!
Third Person POV:
"Fine, one more kiss Magnus" Alec Lightwood sighed.
His boyfriend, Magnus Bane grinned. He had won this time. He swooped down, that devilish grin still on his face and gave his boyfriend another sweet yet mind blowing kiss. Alec shyly brought his hands up to Magnus' neck and put more pressure into their kiss. Magnus had no problems with this, he could have stood there all day on the side of the street kissing his blue eyed boy. But said boy had to get inside before anyone noticed.
So with a groan, he pulled away from the kiss. Alec started to pout. And Magnus still had that grin on his face. It was like he knew something that Alec didn't. And it was for the better really, for in a few hours something was going to happen.
"Darling, shouldn't you be getting inside? Your parents might start wondering where you're to" Magnus said.
Alec rolled his eyes, and leaned up to give Magnus one last chaste kiss on his lips. The last kiss only lasted a few seconds before Alec pulled away with a sigh.
"I suppose you're right.. but I don't really want to go inside yet" He replied with a characteristic blush.
"I know darling, but trust me. You should really go inside. You don't want to upset your parents, now do you?" Magnus questioned.
"Not really. Especially that they finally let me see you" Alec muttered.
"Exactly, we don't want them forbidding us to see each other again now do we?" Magnus said.
Alec shook his head and looked up at Magnus with those baby blues. Alec's eyes were one of Magnus' favorite things. They were a pretty shade of blue, and held every emotion that they boy had. They were very expressive and that's what Magnus liked about his eyes the most. Whenever Alec was upset, he would always say he's fine but his eyes give him away and Magnus always knew that Alec was either sad, hurt, angry, or just frustrated.
"Go inside now, darling. I'll see you later" Magnus added on as an after thought.
"Okay then" Alec sighed.
After one more chaste kiss, Alec walked down the street a little ways and stopped in front of an old Victorian styled house. It had been in his family for generations and he didn't really want to know just how old it was. Alec turned and waved goodbye to Magnus, who returned the wave with an air kiss. Alec blushed and rolled his eyes. He walked up the steps and walked inside his house.
Magnus smiled to himself, and started to walk home. He had a lot to do before tonight.
Alec sighed and leaned up against the house door. Smiling in a goofy way. He was a love struck teenager and he didn't mind at all. He was completely happy with being in love. When he was younger he had no idea that being in love would be this great. The way that your significant other smiles at you, hugs you, gives you kind words of endearment. Everything. It was all in the thrill of falling in love. And Alec loved every second of it.
"Someone's pretty smiley today" A voice commented.
Alec opened his eyes, which he didn't remember closing, and stared at the face of his younger sister, Isabelle. He blushed lightly and pushed off from the door.
"Of course I am. I have the best boyfriend ever" He said, surprising himself.
"Well, I'm glad you finally have someone" She said softly.
"Thanks" He replied and then headed up the stairs, to his bedroom.
Once he made the trek up the stairs, he walked down the hall and stopped at the very last door on the right. His bedroom was the farthest room in the whole house. And plus he was the only one who had a room on this floor, so he kind of had a whole floor to himself.
He opened the door, and walked inside, closing the door behind him. He leaned against the door and slid to the ground. He was probably acting like a total teenage girl but Magnus made him feel great and complete. It was a different feeling, but not unwelcome.
Today Magnus had taken him to the park and they walked around for a bit before sitting down in a little meadow. It was peaceful because not a lot of people knew of this place and they were the only one's there at the time. It was perfect. They laid in the grass and talked about everything and anything. Even though the date was simple, it was completely romantic.
But he wished that it didn't have to end. But the sun was beginning to go down and Magnus promised his parents that he would have him home by night fall. And they didn't want to get Maryse and Robert Lightwood angry, so with sighs they got up and made the walk back to Alec's home.
And that's how he got here. All teenage girl like. At least he wasn't squealing over how amazing their date was. Well, out loud maybe. But it didn't count if it was in your head.
And when they were by his house, Alec noticed that Magnus had a weird glint in his eyes. He wanted to know what was going through his boyfriend's mind so much at the time. He hated not knowing, sometimes. But after a few minutes of pondering what must have been going through his mind, Alec shuddered and gave up on it.
"Alec? Mom wanted me to tell you that supper is ready!" Isabelle said.
"Okay, I'll be down in a few" He replied.
So with a wistful sigh, he got off the floor and went downstairs.
Magnus couldn't believe he was capable of doing this. He never really done anything romantic for his past boyfriends/girlfriends, but Alec was different. He was in love with him. So he deserved to have romance. Not just silly little dates in the park. Like actual candle lit dinners, or something like that.
But what Magnus actually came up with was something totally different. And he was really hoping that Alec would like it. If not, then his planning would be gone to waste. And he would be slightly upset. But he was pretty confident that Alec would like this.
But Magnus just had to remember how to get there, and exactly what time he would have to leave. If he left too late then it would be ruined. So he figured he would have to leave pretty early.
But today when he was out with Alec, he had gotten one of his cousins to go and set up for him. He dint have enough time lately to go and do it himself, but he would have if he could. If he could have done it, it just meant that he put a little more effort into planning this.
But Alec wanted to hang out, and who was he to deny his gorgeous boyfriend?
So with everything prepared, all he had to do now was wait. How hard could that be?
Alec was fidgety as he ate supper. He couldn't help but notice the intense stares that his parents were giving him. It was starting to un nerve him. His mother cleared her throat and turned to look at him with a strange look on her face. It was almost uncomfortable.
"So, was your.. date.. with Magnus?" She asked.
Alec wanted to roll his eyes. He felt grateful that she was trying to be okay with this, but he knew that she would never be okay with him going out with another man. But she was just trying a little too hard to keep up with their lives.
"It was fine. We went walking around in the park" He replied.
"Oh?" She said. "That sounds nice.."
"It was nice" He agreed. He knew to leave out the part where they had spent twenty minutes down the road in a little alley way, kissing. Yeah, definitely what his family needed to hear at the table. His stories about making out with his boyfriend. Definitely.
Maryse sighed and dropped her fork to her plate. She looked over at his father, Robert. They shared a pointed look and it was as if they were saying something, through their glance. His mother turned back to Alec.
"Alexander? Can we speak in private?" She asked.
He nodded, and got up from the table. He knew something was up. His mother never called him by his full name, unless he was in trouble or it was something really important. He wracked his brain to think back on anything that could have gotten him trouble. When he came up with nothing, he assumed that this was just important.
They walked out of the kitchen with Robert trailing behind them. They walked into the library down the hall from the dining room. When they entered, Robert shut the doors behind them. They all took seats around an antique glass coffee table.
"Son," Robert started. "We want to talk to you about something."
"I kind of guessed that" He muttered.
Maryse gave him a slight glare, but gave him a small smile anyway.
"Alec.. we know that you are dating Magnus.. but we have a few questions" She said.
"Like what?" He replied hesitantly.
"Well, for one.. we want to know if you guys are being.. safe" She said.
Alec's face erupted into an inferno. He could not believe what his mother just asked him that. It had to be in some rule book, that parents were not allowed to ask their gay son that question. He groaned and buried his head in his hands.
"Sweetie, it might be a little embarrassing.. but we're your parents. We worry about you" She said softly.
"Mom.. there is nothing to worry about. We haven't even done anything like.. that" He said.
When he looked up, he saw that his mother visibly relaxed. What did she even take him for? He didn't even want to know the answer to that.
"Okay, now that's out of the way.. we want to know something important," She started. "We want to know if he's treating you well."
He smiled softly. "Mom, dad. Magnus has been nothing but kind and sweet to me. Even when I wanted to keep him a secret from you."
Maryse looked a little shocked, but she covered it up quickly. The air around them was still tense and awkward.
"And one last thing before we let you go," She said. "Do you love him?"
Alec's heart was pounding violently in his chest. Did he love Magnus? Well, that was obvious. Even someone who didn't know them would have been able to tell that he was in love with the glittery man.
"Yes. I love him with all my heart.. can I go now?" He asked.
His parents smiled at him.
"Yes, you may leave" His father said.
He sighed, and got up from the chair he was sitting in. He was happy that he was finally able to leave. He didn't really want to sit around with his parents and discuss his relationship with Magnus. It was just to weird and awkward.
Maryse and Robert stared after their son as he left the room. Maryse sighed and turned to her husband. A slight frown on her face.
"Whats wrong?" He asked.
"I feel like I'm losing my baby" She said quietly.
Robert put an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to his side. She laid her head down on his shoulder. His familiar scent wafting around her. She breathed in deeply.
"You know you have to let them go sometime.. and I guess that time has come now for us to let Alec go" Robert said softly.
"I know. But I feel like he isn't the same little boy that use to come running into our room because he was afraid that the monsters were going to get him. Or when he came up to us with a little scowl on his face because Aline Penhallow kissed him on the cheek when they were five years old. Or the little boy who had a look of wonder when we brought Max home from the hospital.. he's not my baby anymore" She sighed.
"You're right, he's not our baby anymore," Robert started. "He's our grown up teenager, who's in love."
"In love.. my baby is in love.. I wonder if this is how our parents felt when we started to date" Maryse mused.
"I guess they were like this, but probably not as over bearing, because they knew we would make good choices" Robert replied.
Maryse lifted her head and looked at Robert. "Maybe we should arrange to have dinner with Magnus' parents.. it'd be nice."
"Whatever you want" Robert replied.
Maryse smiled and laid her head back down on his shoulder, they stayed like that for a while. But when it became late, they decided to go to their room and turn in for the night.
After taking a lengthy shower and getting dressed for bed, Alec climbed into his bed with an old book that he had found on his bookshelf and decided to read for a bit before going to sleep. He had turned off the room light, and turned on the lamp that was on his bedside table. The faint light had the room in a faint glow. It was great reading light.
Just as he was beginning to read the 10th chapter he began to fall asleep. So he marked his spot and put the book on the floor. He reached over and turned off the light. He snuggled into the blankets and drifted into a deep sleep.
A little while later, he was awoken from his sleep by something tapping at his bedroom window. He decided to ignore it, and tried to get back to sleep.
Tap, tap, tap.
Alec groaned and pulled the blankets over his head, trying to block out the sounds of the insistant tapping noice.
Tap, tap, tap.
He sighed, almost growling. He flung the covers off his lean body and stalked over to his window. He opened it, and started to look around. Nothing was there. Or, so he thought at least.
"Darling, down here!" He heard his boyfriend call out in a whisper.
He looked down and saw Magnus on his front yard, rocks in his hands. So he was the one who was flicking things at his bedroom window. Alec wanted to roll his eyes at this. It was just too cliche. Maybe he was dreaming. He always dreamt of doing something cliche like this. So maybe his brain decided to make him dream a vivid dream like this.
"Magnus, what are you doing?" Alec said in a whisper.
Magnus appeared to be nonchalant. "Oh, you know.. standing outside my boyfriends window at," He looked at the watch that was on his wrist, the one that Alec gave him. "4:30 in the morning."
It was 4:30 in the morning? What kind of person was up at this time in the morning? Apparently his crazy boyfriend. He shook his head at Magnus. He was crazy.
"Why are you here?" Alec asked.
"How about you get dressed in something cute and sneak out through your bedroom window, and then we'll talk" Magnus said.
Alec sighed. He held up one finger to Magnus, telling him that he would be out in a minute. He went to his closet, he began rummaging through the clothing that he had. Most of what he owned was black. Shaking his head, he pulled out black skinny jeans and a light blue t-shirt. He flung the clothes on his bed and began to take off his pajamas.
He pulled on his jeans and then his shirt. He found a pair of socks on the floor, black of course. And then shoved his feet into his combat boots. Once he was dressed, he walked back over to window. Here was the hard part. Climbing out of his window.
There was a tree in front of his window, but he was on the third floor. And if he fell, it would be painful. He sighed. He guessed it was about time that he lived a little. He swung one leg out over the edge of his window and put it on the branch that was closest to the window. His heart was pounding almost painfully in his chest. He closed his eyes for a minute and opened them again. He looked down. Yep. It was a very long fall, if he slipped. He used one of his hands to pull him out into the branch. He steadied himself, and climbed down the tree. He was grateful for the ground when he got out of the tree.
"Good job, darling" Magnus purred.
"Okay Magnus, Im here. What are you doing?" He asked.
"Get in the car" Magnus comanded.
"W-what?" He spluttered.
"You heard me" Magnus taunted.
"But you said if I got dressed and climbed down the tree, you'd explain why you're here" Alec pouted.
Magnus' eyes seemed to soften when Alec unleashed his pout. "Ugh, Darling! You know I cant resist that pout."
"Then dont resist?" Alec said, hopeful.
"Nuh uh, darling. Please get in the car" Magnus asked.
"Why?" Alec replied.
Magnus sighed. "Darling, if you dont get in the car we're gonna be late."
"Late for what, exactly?" Alec said.
"I cant tell you, darling! Its a surprise" Magnus replied with a smile.
Alec sighed. He knew that Magnus wouldnt leave unless he went with him. He walked over to the car with sluggish feet. He turned and saw that Magnus hadnt left his place on his yard. Alec quirked an eyebrow.
"Are we going, or what?" He said.
Magnus shook his head, and ran over to the car. He opened Alec's door and waited for him to get in, and then he shut the door. He walked around the car and got in on the drivers side. Once he was in the car, he buckled up his seatbelt and started to car and started to drive down the road.
"So, can you give me any hints as to where we're going to?" Alec asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Not really.. but I think you will like this" Magnus replied.
Alec sighed again. He really hated surprises. He had told this to Magnus once, and Magnus promised that he was going to surprise Alec at least once. Alec didnt think that Magnus was being serious about it until now. He resisted the urge to groan, and leaned his head against the headrest on the seat. He closed his eyes
The next thing he knew, he was being shaken awake by his very awake boyfriend. He didnt even realize that he had fallen asleep on the way to wherever they were going to. He mumbled something unintelligable and rubbed at his eyes. He yawned and stretched as best as he could in the car and turned to Magnus.
"We're here now" Magnus said excitedly.
Where was here, anyway? From what Alec could tell, they were parked in the middle of the woods. He didnt feel very safe about this.
"Where are we to?" Alec asked, his voice still groggy from sleep.
"Oh, that is for me to know and you to find out" Magnus said.
Ale sighed, for what seemed like the millionth time that morning. Magnus climbed out of the car and opened Alec's door for him. Alec rolled his eyes, and allowed himself to be helped out of the car by Magnus.
Magnus, still holding his hand, led Alec onto a trail. The further away from the car they were getting, the more Alec was starting to freak out. What if they got lost and couldnt find their way back to the car? What if a bear or something decided to come out onto the trail and maul him and Magnus to death?
"Magua, is this a good idea?" Alec asked, fear clear in his voice.
"I am positive, darling" Magnus replied.
Magnus pulled Alec closer to hsi side, and Alec relaxed into his boyfriends touch. He felt a little safer. But the fear was still in his mind. He didnt exactly like going walking around the forest in the early hours of the morning.
They walked a little further. Then Magnus stopped. He turned to Alec, with a strange expression on his face. Alec quirked an eyebrow at him.
"Darling, would you mind closing your eyes? I'll lead you the rest of the way" Magnus whispered.
Alec hesitated, but shut his eyes with a sigh. He felt Magnus taking his hands in his own. Magnus started to walk, and Alec walked blindly after him. He triped a few times, but Magnus always caught him before he could make contact with the sodden earth. A few more minutes of walking and Magnus stopped.
"Darling, open your eyes" Magnus whispered in Alec's ear.
Alec opened his eyes, and looked around. They were in a little clearing. In that clearing was a little pond. There was also a blanket set up and a picnic basket. Next to a small warf by the pond, there was a little row boat. Alec was amazed that Magnus went through all this trouble for him.
"So, what do you think?" Magnus asked.
Instead of answering him, Alec flung his arms around Magnus' neck and kissed him. Magnus tensed for a minute but started to kiss Alec back after a moment. They stood like that for several minutes. Alec broke off the kiss. Magnus smiled crookedly.
"I'll take that as a yes" Magnus chuckled.
Magnus led Alec over to the blanket. They sat down and Magnus started to take out various breakfast foods from the basket and laid them out on the blanket. Alec still couldn't believe that Magnus went through all of this just for him. It was amazing.
Once Magnus was done unpacking their breakfast, they ate in silence. The occasional question being passed between them. It was lovely. The quietness. It was nothing like the city. Alec wished that he knew about this place sooner.
After they were done eating, they packed up the dishes in the basket. Magnus got a curious glint in his eyes. Alec knew something was going on in his boyfriends mind.
"Hey, Alec? Woulld you like to go out on the pond in the boat with me?" Magnus asked.
"Uh s-sure" Alec agreed.
They got up from the blanket and went over to the boat. Alec had never told Magnus this but he was afriad of ponds/lakes/the ocean. But Magnus seemed to really want to go out on the water with this small boat. And Alec would feel like such a horrible boyfriend if he said no to Magnus, after everything he went through to set this up.
Alec climbed into the boat unsurely. Magnus climbed in after Alec. Magnus unwrapped a rope that kept the boat tied to the warf and took the paddles and started to row the boat out into the middle of the pond.
Magnus stopped when they were out in the middle of the pond. The moonlight was the only lighting. This whole thing seemed so surreal to Alec. He couldnt help but notice that Magnus looked really nice in the moonlight. His glitter shimmering softly in the low light. He sighed and leaned his head in one of his hands.
"What?" Magnus asked.
"Nothing, just admiring my boyfriend" Alec replied.
And then uncharacteristically, Magnus blushed. Alec thought it was the cutest thing. He chuckled softly. Magnus never really blushed. Alec only seen Magnus blush twice before this. Alec smiled.
"So.. will you tell me what this is about now?" Alec asked.
Magnus sighed. "I wanted to do something really special for you. Alec, I didnt do anything like this for past boyfriends or girlfriends because they didnt mean to me as much as you do. Wanna know why?"
"Why?" Alec asked.
Magnus leaned in, his lips brushing against Alec's ear. "Because, I love you."
It was like Alec's life just solidified just then and there. He knew that they were in love with each other. But they had never said it aloud. Alec's heart thumped painfully in his chest. Alec hugged Magnus close to his body. He kissed his cheek.
"I love you too, so much" Alec whispered.
Magnus pulled back a little and flashed Alec a bright smile before leaning down and placing a sweet kiss on Alec's lips. Alec sighed into the kiss, and tangled his fingers through Magnus' glittery hair. Their lips brushing each others in a sweet manner. It was times like this that Alec wanted to freeze time and just live in these moments.
Magnus laid back onto the floor of the boat. Alec laid on top of him. Somehow they didnt break the kiss. Magnus' hands were trailing up and down Alec's sides. Alec's hands were at Magnus' hips now. His fingers slipped through the belt loops of Magnus' skinny jeans.
A few more minutes of kissing in a lazy manner, had Alec's lungs screaming for air. Alec broke off the kiss and laid his head on Magnus' chest, trying to regain his breath. He liked how Magnus' heart was pounding in his chest.
Magnus was tired of not having the upper hand. He tried to change their posistion without tipping the boat over.
But it was in vain.
The boat tipped over and they were flung into the water. Alec yelped as he landed in the cool water and Magnus tried to keep his hair from getting touched by the water. Alec flailed until he was clutching Magnus' shirt and tried to keep calm, although it was hard to when he had a fear of water.
"Well, this certainly isn't how I thought it'd turn out" Magnus mused.
"I hope it wasnt" Alec muttered.
Alec put his head on Magnus' shoulder and tried to calm his breathing. They stayed like that for a few moments. Magnus tapped his shoulder.
"Alec, look up" He said softly.
Alec looked up. The sun was rising. The sky was turning yellow, orange, red, and pink. It was pretty, Alec had to admit. So this is why Magnus had took him here?
"I wanted to watch the sun rise with you" Magnus whispered.
"Its beautiful" Alec replied.
What was even more beautiful in Alec's opinion though, was Magnus. He was shimmering in the early morning light. And Alec hadnt seen anything more beautiful than this man that was his boyfriend. He was so lucky to have someone like Magnus.
After a few more minutes, being in the water was starting to get uncomfortable. So they managed to get back into the boat without tipping it over again. Alec sat shivering, and Magnus rowed the boat all the way back to the warf.
It didnt take them too long to get out of the boat and gather up the blanket and basket and walk back to the car. Once they were back in the car, Magnus started it up and turned up the heater. And another few minutes later they were driving back into the city.
A little while later, they pulled up in front of Alec's house. Neither one bothered to move. They didnt want this to end. It was a great morning. Alec sighed and turned to Magnus.
"Would you like to come in?" He asked.
"Sure" Magnus smiled.
They got out of the car, and this time instead of climbing up the tree they went through the front door. They unlocked the door with a spare key that was hidden in the mail box. Once they were inside, Alec closed the door quietly. Not wanting to wake up his family and then explain why they were just coming in from outside, soaken wet too.
When they were about to climb up the stairs, they heard voices coming from the kitchen. They gave each other a glance and peered into the kitchen.
Alec's heart almost stopped. His family was up and they were all conversing, looking slightly worried too. He wondered what was going on.
"He couldn't have been kidnapped!" Isabelle said shrilly.
"You guys, come on. There is probably a logical reason for this" Robert said calmly.
"But what if he was.. kidnapped" Maryse whispered.
"He probably just snuck out of the house" Jace said indifferently and with a shrug.
They all turned to him with glares on their faces. This was certainly not a time to be joking around. Well, to them at least.
"Alec wouldn't sneak out of the house" Isabelle said.
"Oh yeah? Then why he is listening in right now, with Magnus by his side too" Jace said.
Isabelle got up from the chair she was sitting in. Her robe brushing the floor slightly as she walked over to the door. She wrenched it opened all the way and stood there in shock.
Alec looked like he was being caught for doing something terrible. Magnus just stood there uncomfortably. Alec's family took in their appearances. And their sodden clothing.
"Where were you to, Alec?" Maryse said in anger.
"Um.. nowhere?" He said this like a question.
Maryse gave him a look that said 'yeah, and Im a ferocious dinosaur'. He sighed and pulled Magnus into the kitchen. Alec sat down in a chair and Magnus sat on Alec's lap. Alec blushed a bright red and tried to not notice his family staring at them.
"Magnus came here at 4:30, flicking rocks at my window. I didn't know it was him at first but then when I went to see what it was, he told me to get dressed and sneak out of the house. So I did. He then persuaded me to get into his car and then he drove to this place. I dont know how to get there cause I feel asleep. Anyway, when I woke up we were parked in the middle of the woods. We then got out of the car and we walked on this trail until he told me to close my eyes. He then led me to this little clearing with a pond. It was really pretty. Anyway, we ate breakfast and then we went out onto the pond in a little boat. The boat somehow tipped over and we fell into the water, thats why our clothes are wet. And we watched the sunrise. So thats how we ended up here" Alec explained in one breath.
"Awh! Thats so cute" Isabelle squealed.
Alec blushed and buried his head in Magnus' neck. Maryse sighed.
"That sounded really sweet, but I'm still upset that you snuck out of the house" She said.
"I understand. Now if you don't mind, could me and Magnus go upstairs and get changed into dry clothes and go to sleep?" Alec asked.
"Go. Just don't sneak out of the house again, kay?" Maryse replied.
Alec nodded his head. Magnus got up from Alec's lap and they walked out of the kitchen and walked up the stairs and went to Alec's room. When they were in Alec's room, Magnus sat in Alec's desk chair. Alec went to his closet and pulled out two pairs of pajama pants. He tossed one pair to Magnus.
They changed and then climbed into Alec's bed. They snuggled into the warm blankets, and then held eah other in their arms.
"That has got to be the best date, I ever been on" Alec whispered to his sleepy boyfriend.
"Hmm? You think? Well, Im sure there will be better dates in the future" Magnus mumbled.
And with that, Alec leaned down and kissed Magnus' forehead. He snuggled closer to Magnus and closed his eyes. He sighed and drifted off to sleep.
