Hey peeplez!
I went to Paris for a week, and there was like nothing to do on the journey so I found these songs on my phone from ages ago and this one-shot came to mind ... though it turned out much longer than I'd intended it to be. Still, it was fun writing it.
Also, I found I kind of like writing one-shots, so if you guys have any ideas of one-shots (mostly Malec but if there are any really good Sizzy or Clace ones I might make an exception) then PM me or just put your idea in your review and I'll see what I can do :)
Magnus sighed as he stared longingly, for about the hundredth time, at Blue Eyes, as he liked to call him. He was sitting in the corner of a karaoke club he hadn't bothered to remember the name of with his best friend, Camille. She had long since given up trying to stop Magnus from pining over the boy and now just tried to put up with it. The first time Magnus had seen him his jaw had practically dropped to the floor and Camille had had to sit through the whole night listening to him go on and on about the guy's hair, and his face, and his skin, and his physique, and his eyes. God, his eyes – she still hadn't heard the end of them. She had to admit, he wasn't bad looking, but the way Magnus went on about him it sounded as if he were describing the stereotypical image of an angel. But seriously, next to that golden haired Adonis he was nothing – but Golden Boy had that little redhead with him all the time, and from the looks they gave each other, it was clear they were together. Oh well. There're other guys. But then – oh, here he goes again, she thought, as Magnus turned to her, opening his mouth to say something.
"Did you see that, Cam? Did you see what he just did?" Magnus squealed breathily. Camille just turned to him, bored, and replied with a flat, "what did he do this time?"
"He just stretched and his top came up and oh my god did you see his six pack, Camille? He's so …" Magnus trailed off with a sigh, leaning back. Camille rolled her eyes. "Dreamy? Hot? Sexy? Gorgeous? Beautiful? Because you've said them all about him, Magnus. No need to keep going on." She said without conviction, hoping that this time he might actually shut up. Magnus tore his eyes away from "Blue Eyes" with difficulty, it seemed, and looked at her instead.
"Whoa, everybody freak out," Camille said dryly, "somebody call an ambulance. There's something wrong with Magnus Bane – he stopped looking at his eye-candy over there."
Magnus rolled his eyes. "Shut up. I have an idea." Camille groaned. Not another "idea". His last "idea" was to get drunk so he could work up the courage to go talk to Blue Eyes, but had almost ended up puking in the middle of the club, with would have definitely gotten his attention, but Camille guessed it was not the kind of attention Magnus wanted from his monster crush. So she had had to haul him out of the building before he could do something he'd seriously regret later, and he had, instead, puked all over her new boots. She was mad at him and wouldn't so much as look at him for a week.
"Don't you remember what happened last time? I just bought these shoes and if you vomit on them I will personally stuff the heels up your sorry ass. And these are stilettos."
Magnus cringed for a moment before regaining his posture. Camille could be scary when she wanted to be.
"Relax. I'm not getting drunk again." He said, choosing to ignore Camille's muttered "thank god". "I'm going to sing him a song, actually."
Magnus
Magnus was quite proud of his idea, and wondered why on earth he hadn't thought of it before. He knew Blue Eyes had noticed him; he had tried to make eye contact and had often succeeded, but his angel would always blush and look down straight away. This had to mean he liked him a little bit. Didn't it? And if he sung to him, Blue Eyes would know that Magnus liked him, which would hopefully bring him out of his shell. Hopefully. He was just so gorgeous…
"That's actually not a bad idea." Camille's voice brought him out of his thoughts. He grinned, happy that she was actually agreeing with him for once. "I know! I can't believe I didn't think of it before!" He cried, taking Camille's hand excitedly. Her eyes flicked over to where Blue Eyes was sitting and smirked.
"Uh-oh. Angel Boy's getting jealous."
"What?" Magnus asked, confused, and turned to look where "Angel Boy" was sitting – and he was, indeed, staring at where Magnus and Camille's hands were together with a sour look on his face. Magnus immediately let go of her hand and started pushing her away hurriedly.
"Magnus! What the fuck are you doing?" Camille yelped. Magnus shuffled over a few chairs in an attempt to get away from his best friend, muttering, "he has to see we're not together!"
Camille groaned and rolled her eyes, whilst Magnus's attention was fully on Blue Eyes. He put on a charming smile and winked at him; his angel blushed and ducked his head a little, but had a small smile of his own on his face, whilst Camille mimed puking in the corner.
Suddenly the song that was already playing ended. "Right," Magnus declared, standing up, "I'm going in."
Alec
Alec punched Jace in the arm, effectively stopping his sniggering. "Ow! What was that for?" Jace complained, rubbing his arm.
"That was for laughing at me." Alec grumbled. They both knew perfectly well what Jace was laughing at Alec for but Jace, it seemed, felt like he needed to elaborate, as he clasped his hands together and fluttered his eyelashes, "oh, my beautiful, sparkling prince, I just cannot resist you when you wink at me with your glittering eyes, oh-"
"Shut up!" Alec growled, his face reddening.
"Well, you are swooning over him, you can't deny that." Izzy cut in, smirking. "I can't say I blame you really; he is hot." Alec felt a sudden surge of jealousy, which Izzy must have seen, because she continued quickly, "oh, don't go getting all jealous on me. He only has eyes for you."
"He does?" Alec said, his face brightening, without thinking. Jace snorted, and Alec quickly continued, "um, I mean, I meant to say – I-I'm not jealous. That's – that's what I meant – oh, will you stop laughing at me!" He covered his bright red face with his hands as both Izzy and Jace stopped trying to conceal their laughter and just rolled around in their seats, laughing uncontrollably.
They only stopped when they heard a very melodic voice speaking into the mic, and turned to see who would be singing next. As it was Alec's eyes widened and Jace and Izzy started sniggering again.
"Hey guys. This song I'm about to sing is actually for someone." Said a very glittery someone, who happened to be staring straight at him. "This person I have tried to work up the courage to speak to for a long time, but they still don't know I exist," the crowd "aww"ed, "well, until now, that is. Anyway…" He gave the DJ the signal to start the music, turned back to the mic, and started to sing.
He's so fine
Wish he were mine
That handsome boy over there
The one with blue eyes and black hair
Oh. My. God. He can't be … he's not singing about me? Alec stared around at everyone around him, (who were now staring in his general direction, looking for a guy with blue eyes and black hair) looking for someone else who had blue eyes and black hair … and there he was. A guy, about his age, sitting next to another boy with silvery hair and eyes. He had bright blue eyes and messy black hair, a chiselled face – and he was gorgeous. Damn it. How could Magnus be singing to him when there was someone like that there? Alec slumped back in his chair, dejected, and at Izzy and Jace's confused looks, nodded his head to the guy Magnus was obviously singing to.
Don't know how I'm gonna do it
But I'm gonna make him mine
He's the envy of all the guys
It's just a matter of time
Alec grabbed onto the edges of his chair, trying to keep a hold on himself. He was never going to like you. You shouldn't have got your hopes up. On stage, Alec's crush took the mic out of the holder and started to walk towards the steps that lead to the crowd. Oh God. I don't know if I can take this, Alec thought. Jace and Izzy were looking at him sympathetically as the man of Alec's dreams walked towards the other guy with blue eyes and black hair. Admittedly, that was still in Alec's direction, but he wasn't singing to Alec, he knew. He just couldn't be.
He's a soft spoken guy
Also seems kind of shy
I'm shy, aren't I? Alec thought. The other guy's posture looked confident, but appearances could be deceptive.
Makes me wonder if I
He got closer…
Should even give him a try
Closer…
But then I know he can't shy
He can't shy away forever
He reached a hand out to touch the other guy's face, and Alec wanted to squeeze his eyes shut, but they seemed glued open… but then the unthinkable happened. He drew his hand away, and with a small shake of his head, as if to say not my type, started walking again. Right. Towards. Alec.
And I'm gonna make him mine
If it takes me forever
He got closer, and smiled seductively down at Alec, whose eyes widened and breathing picked up. Is this actually happening? Izzy elbowed Alec's side suggestively but his attention stayed on the miracle in front of him.
He's so fine
Fuuuuuck….
Gotta be mine
Oh my God!
Sooner or later
I hope it's not later
Me, too.
We gotta get together
The sooner the better
Fricking unicorns on rainbow cupcakes.
I just can't wait, I just can't wait
To be held in his arms
He was now standing right in front of Alec, who blushed and ducked his head, remembering there were many people watching. But then one slender finger gently placed itself under his chin and lifted his head slowly so he had no choice but to look into glowing green-yellow eyes. Alec's heart literally stopped when he saw the sparkly man's face up close. His eyes were lined in golden eyeliner which made his eyes look exotic and sexy; his hair was spiked up and multi-coloured, and Alec itched to touch it. His face was more gorgeous than should be possible … but Alec wasn't complaining.
If I were a king
And he asked me to leave my throne
The hand on his chin slid up the side of his face and brushed a lock of hair out of his eyes.
I'd do anything that he asked
Anything to make him my own
Then the singer's hand changed direction and slid down the side of Alec's face, down his neck and then trailed down his chest. Please don't get a boner … Alec thought desperately. That would be very embarrassing. He did not need that right now …
For he's so fine
So fine
He's so fine
So fine
He's so fine
That hand slid down to his thigh. Alec's heart was beating so loudly he thought it must be heard over the music – but then suddenly the hand was gone and Alec's crush turned around, rolling up his body so that his ass was momentarily inches away from Alec's face (Jace wolf whistled loudly) and walked back to the stage, swaying his hips as he went.
He's so fine, oh yeah
He's so fine, so fine
So fine, uh-huh
He's so fine
So fine
He finished – back on the stage – on a long note, his perfect voice drawing it out until the song ended.
The crowd burst into applause, some people standing, Alec included (he ignored Jace and Izzy's suggestive sniggering when he stood). Eventually the noise died down and the people who were standing sat again. The singer was about to leave the stage when Jace suddenly stood up. "Wait!" He called, and Alec's crush stopped, raising an eyebrow.
"Jace, what are you doing?" Alec hissed. He better not be about to embarrass me, Alec thought.
"Don't you think we should see what that guy you were singing to thought?" Jace smirked, and looked pointedly at Alec. Then Izzy whispered in Alec's ear "Alec, go on."
Alec turned, "what do you mean, go on?" By now most people were looking at them, expectant. Then Alec understood. They wanted him to sing back. People always told him he was a good singer … but what if good wasn't enough? What if he messed up, what if-
"Alec, stop second guessing yourself and get your ass up there!" Jace said loudly, and people cheered, then started chanting… what were they saying? Ping? Wing? Oh right…
"Sing! Sing! Sing! Sing! Sing! Sing!"
Oh God… Alec stood shakily, then stumbled when Jace shoved him forward. Damn you…Alec turned to glare at him one last time, then tentatively made his way to the stage. The crowd was quiet now, only a few people muttering.
Alec tried not to look at hid crush as he walked past, because he knew if he did then he would probably stumble again and just embarrass himself even more, so he settled for glancing at him out of the corner of his eye … which almost made him trip up the last step, but he managed to avoid that at the last minute.
After telling the DJ what he would sing, Alec nervously walked to the microphone. He could feel every single pair of eyes on him. Shit … why the hell am I doing this again…? Oh God…
He cleared his throat, and spoke into the mic: "well, everyone already knows who this song is for, and I'm not very good with speaking in front of crowds, so -" He saw his crush's mouth twitch up in a little smile. Great. Now he's laughing at me … "- I'm just going to get on with the song."
At this the music started, and Alec tapped his foot a little to get into the rhythm, as he always did. He closed his eyes and let the music wash over him …
I've tried playing it cool
But when I'm looking at you
I can't ever be brave
'Cause you make my heart race
Many people in the crowd gasped. Oh shit. I was really that bad…? I can't back out now… Alec's thoughts raced in his head, and he didn't dare open his eyes to see his crush's reaction – he was afraid of what he would see.
Shot me out of the sky
You're my kryptonite
You keep making me weak, yeah
Frozen and can't breathe
At this point some of the crowd had started to clap to the beat, so Alec thought it was safe to open his eyes, but he still didn't look at the other man on stage. He would do it, he told himself … maybe at the chorus…?
Something's gotta give now
'Cause I'm dying just to make you see
That I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing
He finally glanced at his crush … and saw that there was a huge smile on his face. He was so gorgeous … don't get distracted, Alec…
So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing, yeah
You've got that one thing
By now the whole crowd was clapping along with the song, some singing along, and the beautiful man next to him still had that smile on his face … does this mean I'm doing well? Alec thought. It must do … I mean, with this reaction I can't be doing badly …
Now I'm climbing the walls
And you don't notice at all
I'm going out of my mind, yeah
All day and all night
Now some people were standing, pulling others with them, some even starting to dance … and now Alec's crush was clapping along, staring to mouth the words as well … oh wow … is this actually happening? Because it feels like I'm dreaming. A very, very nice dream. Am I dreaming…?
Something's gotta give now
'Cause I'm dying just to know your name
And I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing
Now Alec started to smile as he sang, enjoying himself as he saw almost everyone get up and come to the front of the stage to start dancing, clapping and singing along, and then he saw his crush dancing … god, he was so sexy it should be illegal. The way he swayed his hips to the music, fucking hell…
So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
So get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing, and
You've got that one thing
Now Alec clapped along to the beat, leading the crowd in the instrumental. Why didn't he think of doing this earlier? He was actually enjoying himself a lot, mostly due to the fact that his crush was, too. That much was clear.
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
You've got that one thing
Get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
Alec took the mic out of the holder so he could fully face his crush, and sang directly to him, ignoring anyone else.
So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
So get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing, yeah
You've got that one thing
When Alec finished the song, everybody clapped and cheered and stomped, and he felt as if he were dreaming. Again. This is just too good to be true, he thought. That is, until the crowd started chanting again. But this time they weren't asking for a song. They were asking for something very different …
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
Alec blushed a deep red and turned to look at the beautiful man beside him. His eyes were shining and his hair was a little messed up from the dancing, but it just made him look more beautiful, more alive. Their eyes met … what the hell, Alec thought, and took the other man's face in his hands, and brought their lips together, the massive cheer of the crowd drowned out by the pure ecstasy of the kiss.
