Okay Last story of the week for my daily updates. This story is rated M for sexual lemony goodness ;)
This story was written in December of 2014 and has a total of Eight Chapters (I really didn't do any pacing back then)
Magnus Pov- I walked into school seeing nothing but happy couples all around. These couples were all happy because I am the one who got them all together. I am the most successful love guru in this school and my motto is that I can hook you up with anyone that's my guarantee. My two newest clients Maia and Jordan walked down the hall holding hands and I smiled stopping in front of them "Good morning love birds you look happy so early in the morning."
Jordan smiled kissing Maia's hand "well how can I not be happy you helped me get Maia back." Maia smiled looking at him and I smiled "Well I think the two of you are perfect together it was my pleasure to help." They thanked me again before walking passed me going to their lockers and I watched them before turning forward running straight into Jace Herondale. He backed up looking at me "Watch where you're going Magnus."
I glared at him "Excuse me? You also ran into me so obviously you weren't looking either." "Um... I'm sorry he wasn't looking because he was talking to me" a quiet voice said from next to him. I looked at who was standing next to Jace seeing a taller boy with black hair covering his face so I couldn't see his eyes and he was obviously socially awkward because he barely looked at me.
"Right... Well look where you're going next time" I said before walking passed them. I glanced back at them and noticed the black haired boy was looking at me before he turned and went after Jace who was already walking away without him. When I got to my locker my friends Catarina and Ragnor were already there waiting for me. "What took so long Magnus, were you playing cupid again" Catarina asked handing me a book she borrowed from me.
I took it rolling my eyes "Jace Herondale got in my way and tried to pick a fight with me. His little friend tried to butt in as well." Ragnor raised an eye brow "You mean Alexander Lightwood?" I looked at him shocked "That boy was a Lightwood?"
The Lightwoods were known around town as very good looking people. Robert Lightwood was the governor and he and his family were perfect. Isabelle Lightwood was gorgeous, stylish, and head strong. I heard that the eldest son was very handsome but from what I just saw I doubt it.
"That boy was way too awkward to be a Lightwood I refuse to believe it." Catarina shrugged watching me open my locker "do you really blame the boy? He has lived his entire life in the shadow of Jace Herondale." I pulled out all of my books "How come you all know more about this boy than I do?"
Ragnor shook his head "because you only pay attention to your clients or very attractive people." "Alec Lightwood is attractive he just needs a haircut" Catarina said starting to walk to class. I closed my locker before following her with Ragnor "I wouldn't know I haven't seen him before today." "Shocking really since he has the black hair and blue eyes you love so much" Ragnor pointed out.
"Really he does" I asked excited and Catarina shook her head. "don't think about it Magnus that boys' father is the governor there is no way he's gay and even if he was I'm sure he has better taste then you." Ragnor laughed smiling agreeing with her. "That is rude and completely uncalled for" I said outraged but they just laughed more walking into class.
The rest of the day went in a way that I didn't expect. I have never seen this Alexander guy until today but all of a sudden he is everywhere I go. He is in my English class; though he sits in the way back where he doesn't get noticed, he was in gym with me where he got hit in the face with a dodge ball because he wouldn't stop staring at me, and finally he was at lunch where he sat and stared at me the entire time. I know I'm gorgeous but was all the staring really necessary?
Finally, I walked to my locker ready for this long day to be over and there, Alexander Lightwood was standing at his locker and staring at me. "You look annoyed" One of my best friends Tessa Gray said walking up to me. I looked at her before glancing back at Alec "That Lightwood boy won't stop looking at me." She looked over at him and Alec quickly looked away, putting his head in his locker.
"Wow... maybe he likes you." "Even if he does like me he should come out and say it instead of stalking me." "Well then maybe you should confront him about it" she said pulling out her phone to text her boyfriend Will. Will and Tessa were my first ever successful couple I matched up. People heard about them and how long they have been together and before I knew it everyone came flocking to me wanting help with their love lives.
I watched Tessa thinking of what I should do before nodding and closing my locker "You are right Tessa I think I will confront him." She smiled and gave me a quick hug before going off to meet Will and his friend Jem. I watched her leave before walking over to Alec Lightwood who looked paler the closer I got to him; or at least I assumed so. It was hard to see his face behind that dark mop of hair hiding it.
When I reached him he had his back pressed to his locker and he hugged his books to his chest "Um... h-hi" He said softly. So he didn't know how to keep up appearances and also stuttered, so far I don't like what I see. "You have been watching me all day, if you want to ask me out you should just come out and say it." His face turned an impossible shade of red and he shook his head fast "No no no... I mean yeah you are attractive but I... that's not what I wanted..."
I raised an eyebrow "Then why have you been watching me all day?" His face turned even more red if possible "you are Magnus Bane... the love expert right? They say you can get anyone together." I smiled and leaned on the locker "Why didn't you just say so? Yes, I am that Magnus and you have my guarantee that whoever you like I can get you with them."
He ran his hand over his face and I saw a small glimpse of his blue eyes "You swear it" He asked sounding serious, no longer stuttering. I nodded "Of course, who is the lucky guy?" He looked at me now nervous again "um well... my best friend Jace Herondale." All I could do was stand there stunned at the request. Did I just sign my death warrant by agreeing to this?
Alec frowned and looked down "I understand if you can't do it." For some reason seeing Alexander sad made me want to move mountains to make him happy. Getting Jace to like him the way he wants will be harder then moving mountains but I will do it. "Alexander Lightwood I accept the challenge... though you have to go along with anything I say."
He cocked his head to the side confused "What do you mean by that?" I looked at him up and down, besides his awful hair style he also wore a holy gray sweater and some faded jeans, his look was finished off with some dirty combat boots. "I never change my customers because I need to know the other person likes them for them but in your case..." Alec clung on to his sweater "I like the way I look just fine."
"I'll let you keep your clothes...; though frankly it looks like you pulled everything you own out of a dumpster; but I will not allow you to keep that horrible hairstyle." He ran his hands in his hair "What about my hair?" "You can't see your eyes for heaven's sake." He looked away frowning and I sighed "Look Alexander, if you want to catch the eye of someone like Jace Herondale you have to try to keep up appearances even just a little."
He frowned touching a strand of his hair before looking at me "Right." "Hand me your phone." He hesitated before pulling his phone out of his pocket and handing it to me. Of course it was one of those old flip phones that couldn't even take pictures.
"Do you own nothing new" I asked swiping it out of his hand. He backed up a little and dropped his hand "I like practical things." "Obviously" I said putting my phone number into it. I texted my phone with his so I had his number before handing it back to him "We will start operation get Jace tomorrow after school."
He took his phone nodding before smiling, he had a really nice smile "Thank you so much Magnus." I shook my head telling him not to mention it before walking out of school going home.
Alec Pov- I watched Magnus Bane walk away, clinging to my phone and Jace walked up with my sister Isabelle, Clary, and Simon. "Why were you talking to Magnus Bane for" he asked looking at me confused. Isabelle smirked slightly "I bet he wanted to talk to him about a secret crush." I blushed slightly and Jace smiled "Seriously? Who's the lucky girl?"
I shook my head "I don't have a crush on anyone we just have an English project to do together." I was older then my siblings and was two grades ahead of them so this was an easy lie to believe. "You will most likely do all the work" Jace said before turning to talk to Clary. Clary Fray was a small girl with orange curly hair that somehow managed to worm her way into Jace's life. It was obvious that Jace is starting to developed feelings for her that's why I have to act as fast as I can to catch his eye.
I frowned grabbing a strand of my hair and Isabelle looked at me "What's the matter Alec?" I shook my head and dropped my hand smiling "Oh nothing lets head home." we all walked out of the school and Simon smiled "You all coming to my gig this weekend?" "I rather not but since Clary is going I will too" Jace said sighing.
"I'll go if Jace goes" I said not letting Clary be alone with Jace in an old smoky bar. Simon put his arm around Isabelle "You coming babe?" She nodded smiling "Ever since you got Jordan in your band you guys have sounded better." Everyone but Simon laughed knowing it was true and he sighed letting go of Isabelle "Speaking of which I have to go practice, are you coming Clary?"
She shook her head no "Jace and I are going out for coffee." I clenched my fist not too happy about that and Isabelle opened her mouth to say she would join Simon but I grabbed her hand shaking my head no to her. She looked at me confused before smiling at the others "Alec and I are going to spend some time together." They nodded before all going their separate ways and Isabelle watched them before looking at me "Why didn't you want me to go with Simon?"
I moved some of my hair out of my face "well I need your help... I asked Magnus Bane to help me get with Jace." She frowned looking at me "Alec that's... what if he can't?" "He swore that he could make it happen so he will." "Why do you want my help?"
"Well Magnus said I need a haircut and well you have been bugging me about wanting to cut it so... do you want to cut it?" I don't think I have ever seen her eyes light up as much as they did at this moment "You want me to cut your hair?" I nodded "Magnus said having it in my face is bad and I actually am getting tired of it being in my eyes." She smiled grabbing my hand and pulled me to the house "of course I will cut your hair Alec, oh you are going to look so good when I'm done with you."
"I just need a haircut nothing more Isabelle got that?" She nodded pulling me into the house "Sure, sure whatever you say" She pulled me upstairs and into her room before shoving me into a chair. "Do you really think Magnus will be able to help you with Jace" She asked collecting things she will need to cut my hair. I shrugged leaning back in the chair "They say he has never failed a client."
"Yes but he has never had a challenge as hard as yours before. Jace is in love with Clary Alec you know that." I frowned clenching my fists "I know that but I just need to try." "You can't even tell him how you feel" She said taking a spray bottle of water and getting my hair wet.
"Isabelle you know I can't do that it could ruin our friendship." "So could getting Magnus to help you" she pointed out starting to cut my hair. "I need to at least try Izzy... I have liked him for such a long time." She frowned and nodded "I know that sweetie but maybe you should try liking someone else. What about dating Magnus he is pretty hot and I heard black hair and blue eyes are his type."
I felt my face get hot "I admit that he's good looking but he's not Jace." I could see her frown from the reflection in the mirror "Maybe that's a good thing... you deserve better than Jace." "Just drop it Izzy" I sighed and she nodded finishing up my hair. "Okay all done" She said smiling happily.
I looked in the mirror and was shocked at the person looking back at me. My hair was now a little bit passed my ears and my bangs were trimmed so they weren't in my face. "It feels like it's been years since I've seen your eyes" Isabelle said cleaning up the hair on her floor. I nodded still a little shocked "yeah... me too."
I looked at her "I really want Jace to see that I'm the one for him... I have always been there so why does he choose her? Why not me Izzy?" She frowned and stroked my head gently with his hand "Jace is hard to figure out but you know that he loves you. He would raise hell for your happiness."
"He loves me like a brother but that's not what I want, it's not enough." I stood up frowning and Isabelle hugged me tightly "Well I hope Magnus can help you somehow." I frowned and hugged her back before letting her go and leaving her room going to mine. I went right to my closet and looked over my clothes looking for something to wear tomorrow for Magnus.
He said he would let me dress the same but I should still make a little effort to dress better. I pulled out a blue T-shirt Isabelle got me for my birthday and looked it over seeing it still had the tags on it. I like my sweaters I'm not much into T-shirts but this was clean and was the nicest looking thing in my closet so it would have to do. I threw it onto my bed before going through my jeans trying to find a decent pare. They either had holes in them or were completely faded from being worn so many times.
"The shirt will do I guess" I sighed grabbing my favorite faded jeans and putting them with the shirt. I walked over to my dresser and pulled out some colon looking it over. Jace gave me this for Christmas last year and I haven't even opened it. "Better late than never" I mumbled before looking in the mirror at myself. Tomorrow would be a new start for me, Magnus Bane will get me with Jace and everything will be the way it should be... It has to be.
Magnus Pov- "So you really think you can get Jace Herondale to fall for Alec Lightwood" Ragnor asked walking into the school with me. I nodded "Of course I can get anyone together that's my motto and I'm sticking to it." Ragnor sighed "There are a lot of flaws in your cupid game." I blinked confused "What dose you mean?"
"Tessa and Will like each other it's true but Jem also likes her, Maia and Jordan are back together but Maia still hangs out with her ex Bat, and as for Jace Herondale he is in love with that Clary Fray girl. No matter how you look at it one or all of those couples are doomed to fail." "You are such a buzz kill Ragnor" I said stopping at my locker, opening it. "And you are a crazy fool Magnus" He said leaning on the locker next to mine.
I glared at him as a gentle hand tapped on my shoulder. I turned my glare to whoever dared disturb my argument and froze seeing a breath taking boy with short black hair and stunningly beautiful blue eyes. He had on a nice blue T-shirt and smelled of nice colon he was definitely my type. It wasn't till I got to his faded jeans and dirty combat boots that I got a weird feeling that I've seen him before.
"Where are we meeting after school Magnus" He asked looking at me and I just stared not sure what to say. "Who are you" I asked still looking him over and he frowned as if my question wounded him. "Oh um you don't remember... I don't blame you I'm not that memorable. I'm Alec Lightwood you said you would help me with Jace."
Now I was even more stunned "Alexander? You got a haircut." He nodded blushing slightly and moving a strand of hair behind his ear "My sister did it for me... do you not like it?" "I love it" I said a little too quickly then I should have. I was showing way too much interest and I don't show interest.
Ragnor snickered behind me and I glared at him before looking back at Alec "What I mean is that it is a huge improvement. Has Jace seen you yet?" He blushed again and shook his head no "I normally wait for him in front of the school but I'm afraid to face him." "fear is not a word we use Alexander; you can't be afraid or you will never get your man."
Ragnor rolled his eyes "I'm going to hang with Raphael, I can't bare to watch this train wreck." He walked away and Alec looked at him frowning before looking back at me "I'm a train wreck?" I shook my head no "Of course not, Ignore Ragnor he is just trying to get under my skin. You have to talk to Jace before class."
"Talk to me about what" Jace asked walking up behind Alec. Alec's entire body went stiff and his face was tomato red making him look even more cute. Smiling I grabbed Alec by the shoulders and turned him around making him face Jace. Jace got wide eyed looking him over "Wow Alec you look amazing, you cut your hair."
He nodded not making eye contact with him "I thought it was time for a change." Jace smiled "well it's a good change." Alec smiled looking at him and Jace patted his shoulder before walking away going to class. Alec turned and looked at me excitedly "He liked my look."
I nodded smiling "Yeah I saw good for you. I told you a haircut works wonders." He looked at me meeting my eyes with his bright, gorgeous blue ones "Maybe there's hope after all." I put my hand on his shoulder "Slow down lover boy you are only on step one. The prize is at the end of the race not the start."
He nodded still smiling "You're right." His smile made his face look bright and even more handsome. I was wrong yesterday, this boy in front of me is without a doubt a Lightwood. "come see me after school and we will make plans to make progress." He nodded and we both walked to English class together talking.
After school I drove Alec to my house thinking that would be the best place for us to plan our next move. It was interesting watching Alec lie to his friends about how we had to go do an English project together but he couldn't really tell them the truth now could he. "So what is our project about" I asked smiling glancing at Alec. He looked at me "I never really thought about that... maybe a book report."
I shrugged "I like reading so maybe we should read the same book to make it more believable." He smiled "You like reading so do I. Jace and Isabelle aren't much readers so I don't get to talk about books unless it's with my little brother Max." "Maybe we can form a book club" I joked pulling into the drive way of my house. Alec laughed and his laugh was music to my ears "Oh totally."
I turned off the car before getting out with Alec walking to my front door "Are your parents' home" Alec asked once we were inside and I shook my head no putting my book bag down. "My mom died when I was ten and my father is a workaholic so I am mostly always home by myself." He frowned "That's horrible." I looked at him while taking off my coat "Your father is the Governor right? I'm sure he is pretty busy all the time."
He frowned and nodded "He sleeps at the office most of the time and Isabelle is set on thinking he's cheating on mom." "You know your family is known to be pretty much perfect." He frowned more and nodded "My father expects us to be." "then what does he think about you being gay?"
Alec looked away clenching his fists "well that's... He doesn't know." I raised my eyebrow "You haven't told him, what were you planning to do if you ended up with Jace?" "Well... I never thought of that." I sighed shaking my head and started going upstairs "how many boyfriends have you had?"
He was silent for a moment before saying "None..." I nodded "Okay how about girlfriends, how many girlfriends did you have?" There was another long pause before he once again said "None." I stopped in my tracks and looked back at him shocked "You have never dated?" "Is it really that strange? I'm only eighteen."
"yeah and most people have at least had two or three relationships before they turn eighteen. Have you ever even kissed anyone?" His face went hot from this question proving that the answer would have been no. I sighed and sat on my bed crossing my legs "Alexander you are the toughest client I have ever had. Lucky for you I like a good challenge."
He sat down next to me on the bed "What's our next move to get Jace to like me?" I thought about it for a moment before putting my hand on his shoulder "You need training." He looked confused "training?" "I'm sure Jace has dated a lot of girls while you have no experience. You can't date someone like Jace with no experience."
He frowned "What do you suggest I do?" I thought about it before saying "I'll teach you everything you need to know." This made Alec blush "What do you mean by 'everything'?" I ignored him and grabbed him by the arm pulling him close and kissing him briefly.
He was shocked at first but soon relaxed and kissed me back. The kiss was messy and his lips pressed too hard on mine but they tasted great. I broke the kiss and grabbed his face "You need to relax your mouth while you're kissing." His cheeks felt hot against my palms "You... You kissed me."
I nodded "Sorry about stealing your first kiss but it had to happen. You are a messy kisser but I will fix that." He met my eyes with his own, hesitant and slightly afraid "So I'm a horrible kisser?" I smiled and shook my head no "There is a huge difference between messy and Horrible. Now I'm going to kiss you again but this time I want you to keep your body relaxed and move your mouth slower got it?"
He nodded hesitantly and I pulled his mouth close to mine before letting my lips brush his softly. He let out a held in breath, as if he had let go of all the weight of hiding his true self and he kissed me back letting his lips gently caress mine slow and soft. I kissed him more picking up the pace slightly and he followed my lead laying his hands on my shoulders. Damn now he was way too good of a kisser. The feeling of his lips on mine made my mouth hot and I felt nothing but comfort being with him like this.
I kissed him more letting it deepen and without thinking I slipped my tongue into Alexanders mouth making him let out a softly moan/ gasp in my mouth. He quickly broke the kiss and leaned away from me putting his hand over his mouth blushing "What did you do?" "I put my tongue in, that's called French kissing... did you not like it?" He blushed more and looked away slightly "That's not it... it just was strange."
I smiled seeing that he obviously enjoyed it but was trying to hide it. "I'm sure Jace kisses like that all the time" he said thinking, completely killing the mood for me. I sighed and stood up walking over to my vanity "Yes I'm sure he does." I sat on my fluffy pink stool before looking back at him "Can I ask you something?"
He looked at me and nodded "Sure what is it?" "Why do you like Jace anyway? I know you are childhood friends and that he is pretty good looking but what makes you love him?" He frowned for a moment thinking over my question before standing up "I should leave."
I frowned "did I say something wrong?" He shook his head no "Not at all I just remembered that I have to go to a charity event tonight with my dad." I nodded and stood up "I'll walk you to the door." He shook his head no smiling "I can show myself out thank you Magnus. Can we get together again tomorrow after school?" I nodded and watched him rush out of my room and down the stairs. There was definitely something he was hiding but it was none of my business.
Poor Alec, so inexperienced. (like i'm one to talk) Magnus has a challenge but he never backs down from a challenge.
