"Of course I'm serious! No one here has ever done it, and I think it's time everyone got a break. This just seems perfect," she said with a shrug. Alec sighed and rubbed his eyes. She had come into his room at around seven that morning, waking him up and singing with the most ridiculous idea he had ever heard…ever. And he'd heard a lot…a lot, a lot.
"Listen…Isabelle…no one is going to want to do this," he said seriously as he glanced up at her. She sprang on to the side of his bed and gave a small pout.
"Why not? There's been a lot going on lately, and everyone needs a break. And this…well…this is a way…you can even invite Magnus," she said with an even brighter smile. Alec's eyes widened and he looked at her in disbelief.
"Nope, I was wrong. You're not kidding," he said as he flung his blankets off of him. He threw open one of his drawers and grabbed out some new clothes. Isabelle smiled.
"I told you-" Alec turned and glared at her as he opened his bathroom door.
"You're crazy!" he shouted. She flinched back slightly as the door slammed shut. Then she stuck her tongue out at him and ran from the room.
*************************************************************************************
"Go away," Jace mumbled. He pulled his blanket up over his head and sunk lower into sheets.
"Come on Jace! You've got to hear my idea! Alec wouldn't listen at all and-" Jace laughed once and pushed the blankets down, revealing only his head.
"And that's exactly why I don't want to hear it now. Go away Izzy! You wake me up and then you expect me to listen to one of your insane plans," he said and then pulled the blanket back over his head. She huffed once and then poked the lump under the blanket.
"Fine…but will you at least listen? Please?"Izzy asked. Jace sighed, but she saw a small shake from the bed, which she took as a head nod, "Excellent! Okay, now don't laugh…I think…that we should all go and do…karaoke." There was silence for a moment before the blankets slowly began to come down. Isabelle's eyes widened as Jace's face slowly appeared.
"Are you nutz?" he asked quietly, "and what the hell is a 'karaoke'?" he said all in one breath. Isabelle jumped onto a corner of his bed and sat down criss crossed.
"Okay…karaoke is where you go and sing. They have all kinds of music and words go across this screen, and you sing to them…and it sounds like so much fun! I heard Clary talking to Simon about it the other day," she gushed. Jace frowned and pulled the blanket down a little further.
"You want to go singing?" he asked in disbelief. She nodded enthusiastically.
"Please? We've all been working so hard lately…and Clary said it's only fun when there's a lot of people," she said quickly. Then she stopped, trying to gauge his reaction. He sat up slowly, all the while keeping his gaze on Isabelle. His blankets softly pooled around his waist as he glared at her.
"No," he said sternly. Isabelle's face dropped.
"Why not?" she asked in a whine. Jace sighed as he stood from his bed and made his way to his dresser.
"I'm not interested in singing," he said simply. Isabelle thought for a moment and then she smiled.
"What if I made worth everyone's while?" she asked slowly. Jace stood from his crouching position and closed his drawer with a foot.
"Izzy," he said in a warning tone. She waved her hands in the air.
"No! No! Something good, I promise," she said with a bright smile. Jace hesitated, but then nodded.
"What did you have in mind?" he asked.
"I won't cook for you guys for three months," she said happily. Jace paused and could almost feel the wheels in his head turning.
*************************************************************************************
"Please Magnus," Alec begged. The warlock was sitting in one of his love seats, smirking at his shadowhunter. He was wearing a pair of tight jeans, and a neon green tank top…he smirked as he recalled that it was the first outfit Alec had met him in. His hair was in its usual spikes, and the customary sparkles were strewn across his eyes.
"I think not, but keep begging all you like, I'm enjoying this," he said amusedly. Alec sighed and plopped down in the seat next to him. He turned to him and lowered his head slightly.
"Why not?" he whispered. He raised his eyes slightly, and looked Magnus in the eye. Magnus raised an eyebrow.
"I don't sing," he said pointedly. Alec sighed.
"Neither do I…but I still have to go," he said dejectedly. Magnus smirked.
"And I really feel for you," he said sincerely. Alec thought for a moment before leaning in towards the warlock, barely an inch from his neck.
"Please?" he whispered. Magnus's eyes closed slightly as Alec's breath brushed his neck, "I would do anything," Alec whispered again. Magnus smirked as his eyes opened.
"Alec Lightwood…are you trying to seduce me?" he asked in mock horror. Alec rolled his eyes and sat back in his seat. Magnus smirked and spun himself quickly so he was straddling Alec's waist. Alec's eyes widened.
"I don't sing," Magnus repeated. Alec shrugged.
"Neither do I," he said simply. Magnus frowned slightly.
"And you agreed because…?" he asked leadingly. Alec narrowed his eyes.
"Because Isabelle promised Jace that she wouldn't cook for three months if everyone went," he explained. Magnus blinked, but then laughed once.
"Well…her cooking is that bad is it?" he asked happily. Alec nodded sheepishly.
"It really is," he whispered, "but I still really don't want to go…but Jace said if I didn't he would never forgive me." Magnus sighed and looked Alec in the eye. He sighed again and then leaned in. Alec's eyes reflexively closed, and Magnus smiled. He brought himself down, kissing Alec softly. His mouth moved expertly, and Alec's moved back, this was something that the warlock and shadowhunter knew all too well. Magnus brushed his tongue against Alec's lower lip, and Alec complied immediately, opening his mouth for him. Magnus's tongue darted in, exploring every inch of Alec's mouth. Alec groaned and brought his hand up to Magnus's face, and then slowly made its way down to the lower of his warlocks back. Magnus smirked slightly and then pulled back, ever so slowly. Alec's eyes opened and he gasped for air. Magnus smiled as he swung back around so he was sitting next to Alec instead of on top of him.
"You're giving me a dilemma dear," he muttered. Alec smirked as he swallowed hard.
"I'm good at that I guess," he whispered. Magnus smirked and patted Alec's thigh.
"That you are," he mumbled. Alec brought his leg up onto the seat so he was facing him.
"So…will you go?" he asked softly. Magnus sighed and then looked at Alec with a smile.
"You know I can't say no to you…," he whispered. He brought his hand up and tenderly ran it across Alec's cheek. Alec leaned into the soft touch, relishing in the feel.
"So…about that 'anything'," said Magnus with a smile, "just what exactly does that entail?" Alec smirked and leaned over further, silencing Magnus with a kiss.
*************************************************************************************
"Wait…Isabelle talked everyone into karaoke?" Clary asked in surprise. Jace nodded. They were upstairs in the green house, sitting amongst the trees.
"Yeah, she promised she wouldn't cook for three months, I couldn't resist," said Jace with a shrug. Clary smiled.
"Well, have fun," she said with a shrug. Jace looked at her with a laugh.
"What do you mean 'have fun'? You're coming too," he said simply. Clary's eyes widened.
"Why me?" she asked in shock. Jace smiled and pointed at her.
"Because, you're the one who gave her the idea. And we're going to tonight, so you might as well bring the vampire," he said with a shrug. Clary rolled his eyes. She hated it when Jace didn't say Simon's name…but at least the invitation for him was there.
"I'm sure he'll go…he loves karaoke," she said with a shrug. Jace nodded.
"So…what kind of songs are there?" he asked curiously. Clary smiled.
"Probably nothing you'll know, but don't worry, I won't make fun of you," she promised. Jace rolled his eyes.
"Nice of you," he said sarcastically. She shrugged.
"I know."
"We should probably go down stairs to reassure Isabelle that we're not hiding from this," said Jace suddenly. Clary sighed and stood up. She brushed off her jeans and waited for Jace to lead the way down the stairs.
"There you guys are!" Isabelle gushed, "I just got a call from Alec, Magnus is coming too." Jace smirked.
"Fantastic," he said sarcastically. Clary elbowed him gently and Isabelle glared at him playfully.
"You like Magnus," she pointed out. Jace shrugged.
"No I don't…well…actually, he hates me," said Jace as he remembered the hard punch Magnus had once dealt him. Isabelle smiled.
"Get over it. He's coming," she said with a nod of her head. Jace shrugged as he made his way to the kitchen.
"Over," he said simply. He grabbed out the yellow phone book then and flipped to the take out pages. Clary smirked…Chinese.
"Chinese food? What about something like pizza?" Isabelle suggested. Jace frowned.
"I want Chinese," he mumbled and then he grabbed the phone. He dialed the number and nodded when the customary person answered with their greeting.
"Yep, I want an order of pork mu shu, some fried dumplings and rice…and don't forget the fortune cookies…the address is…."
*************************************************************************************
"Really, Magnus, I'm fine," Alec insisted. He pulled his shirt back over his head and sighed. Magnus had insisted that he eat something while he was here…only problem…Magnus didn't keep his house normally stocked, he just whisked in his food when he felt the urge. The only reason he didn't do that this time was because Alec said he felt guilty taking the food from someone else. Magnus rolled his eyes.
"You're eating," he said simply. Alec sighed as Magnus grabbed a phone book and called a place for pizza. After he hung up Alec frowned.
"I don't have any money with me," he sighed. Magnus smiled as he filled a glass with water and handed it to Alec, he made his way to the living room with a small laugh.
"That's fine….," Alec took a sip of water, "you can pay me back in favors," Alec choked on the water and spit it back into the cup. He punched his chest once and then put it back on the counter.
"Gee, thanks," Alec mumbled. Magnus smiled.
"You know you love it," he whispered. Alec blushed slightly as he sat down next to Magnus. The TV flipped on and Alec rolled his eyes as one of Magnus's reruns of Home Make Over came on.
"So…ever been to karaoke?" Magnus asked. Alec raised an eyebrow at him, which made Magnus laugh.
"Guess not. It's fun," he said with a shrug. Alec looked at him incredulously.
"You've been to karaoke? I thought you said you can't sing," he reminded him. Magnus smirked.
"Never believe a warlock, you should know that…and of course I've been to karaoke. It was pretty a big awhile ago, I had some of my parties doing karaoke," he explained. Alec nodded remotely and rolled his eyes.
"Of course you did," he muttered. Magnus smiled.
"And if I may say so, I was amazing!" he said happily. Alec smirked.
"I bet you were," he muttered with a roll of his eyes. Magnus glanced over at him.
"I was," he countered. Alec looked at him.
"Probably," was all he would say. Magnus frowned.
"You know…you're supposed to say 'Wow, that's amazing Magnus. Could you sing something for me?' Something like that," he explained with a wave of his hand. Alec sighed as Chairman Meow jumped into his lap. He began stroking his ear absentmindedly.
"Actually, I'm good, thanks," he said seriously. Magnus frowned and looked down at Alec's lap. Chairman Meow was curled up in a little ball, purring away.
"You know…that's completely unfair," Magnus stated simply. Alec looked at him and blinked.
"What? What did I do?" he asked in confusion. Magnus sighed and waved a hand at the small cat. Alec glanced down at him and then up at Magnus. He raised an eyebrow.
"Are you serious?" he asked bluntly. Magnus crossed his arms over his chest and stared at the TV.
"Wish I was that small," he muttered crossly. Alec's mouth fell open slightly, and he continued to stare at Magnus until the doorbell rang. The warlock stood, and in one fluid motion, he put his finger under Alec's jaw and snapped his mouth shut. Alec blinked and watched as he went to the door. He heard a few quick words and then Magnus came back in with a small pizza in hand. He held it in one hand and smiled.
"Order up," he said happily. Alec smirked and stood, dropping Chairman Meow to the floor in the process.
*************************************************************************************
"Is Simon coming?" Isabelle asked nonchalantly. Clary nodded.
"I think so…I told him about it anyway," she muttered. Isabelle, Clary, Alec and Jace were all standing outside of the Institute, waiting for Magnus, and maybe Simon. They all looked to the right as a white figure began to approach them. Clary smiled.
"Hey Simon," she called. Simon raised a hand in response, and in no time was standing beside them.
"Hey… ," he said quietly. Jace rolled his eyes. Isabelle looked at Alec and frowned.
"Where's Magnus?" she asked impatiently. Alec shrugged.
"I don't know…he told me to come back here and he would catch up…something about having to get changed," he muttered. Isabelle sighed and began to walk in the direction of Magnus's house. Alec's eyes widened as everyone began to walk after her.
"Where are you going?" he asked shakily. Isabelle looked back at him in surprise.
"If he's already walking, we'll catch up with on the way," she said simply. Alec sighed and began to tag along behind the group slowly. They walk for only about two minutes, before someone with a billowy cloak appeared in front of them…it was shortly followed by a voice.
"Impatient Nephilim?" the voice asked with amusement. Everyone stopped and Isabelle tapped her booted foot on the pavement.
"Well, you're late," she pointed out. Magnus was right in front of them now, he smiled.
"Warlocks are never late, everyone else is just early," he replied casually. Alec smirked. Magnus was wearing tight black leather pants, a white billowy shirt, and his sparkly black cape. His hair was up, and it and his eyes seemed to glow with more sparkles than usual. Isabelle began walking again, and Magnus stayed where he was until everyone but Alec had walked by him.
"So…which one are we going to?" Magnus asked, raising an eyebrow. Alec sighed.
"No idea, Isabelle picked it," he mumbled. Magnus smirked.
"Are you going to sing?" he asked amusedly. Alec's face turned a bright red.
"No!" he nearly shouted. Jace glanced back at them, but he kept walking. Magnus smirked.
"Why not?" he asked, then he smiled coyly, "even for me?" Alec blushed brightly and looked at the ground.
"Especially not for you," he muttered in embarrassment. Magnus shrugged.
"You'll sing," he said simply. Alec snorted.
"Yeah, okay," he mumbled. Magnus smirked.
"You will," he said simply.
*************************************************************************************
Isabelle smiled once they were shown to their own room. It was a square room with a TV, and a karaoke machine. The walls were sound proof, so no one outside could hear them.
"Okay, who wants to go first?" she asked excitedly. Jace smirked.
"I think you should go first Izzy, then Clary…after all, it was you two that came up with this idea," he said amusedly. Clary's face went red.
"What? No! I can't sing," she insisted. Simon smirked.
"Liar," he muttered. Isabelle smirked.
"I'll go first!" she said happily. Clary turned the TV on, and on the screen came a dozen different titles. Isabelle's eyes widened as she scanned the lists. She finally stopped and smiled. Using the arrows on the remote she picked her song, and the music started.
Alec rolled his eyes. It was a song called Rockstar, by someone called Nickelback. He groaned quietly as he sat back in his chair and tried to tune out his sisters singing. Magnus smiled as he sat down next to him, leaning back.
"Not having fun?" he asked. Alec rolled his eyes.
"Please," he mumbled. Magnus smiled and glanced back at Isabelle.
"I think you should go next," he said happily. Alec's face turned a bright red and Magnus laughed.
"Come on! You know you want to," he said seriously. Alec sighed.
"No, absolutely not." Magnus smirked as an idea came to him.
"But…Alec," he leaned in closer and whispered into Alec's ear, "you owe me…remember? I said favors…this is one." Alec shivered slightly and swallowed.
"Fine," he muttered almost angrily. Magnus smiled as Isabelle finished up her song. He cleared his throat.
"Alec's next," he informed them. Isabelle hopped down from her small stage and threw the mic to him. He caught it deftly and his face turned red again.
'I can't sing," he said, suddenly nervous. Isabelle laughed as everyone took a seat.
"Come on Alec, you don't have to be good," she said happily. He turned to the screen and watched as Isabelle picked a song for him. He frowned. What had the title been? The music started kind of slow, but the words came almost immediately. His face only brightened as he went…
"I hung up the phone tonight Something happened for the first time deep inside It was a rush, what a rush '

Alec's voice began to fade, and everyone remained silent. Magnus's eyes were wide in shock and Isabelle's mouth was hanging open. Alec cleared his throat and every began to move again.
"Oh my Angel! Alec, you never said you could sing," Isabelle gushed. Alec rolled his eyes and threw the mic at her…
"Whatever…I can't sing," he muttered. He rushed back over to his seat next to Magnus and watched as the vampire went up next and began to sing a song called "So What" by someone named Pink.
Magnus smiled as I sat down. His hand inched for me and found it's place on my thigh.
"You didn't tell me you could sing," he said happily. Alec's blush only brightened.
"I can't," he muttered. Magnus laughed softly.
"You're singing for me again," he said happily. Alec rolled his eyes, but knew that Magnus was right…he couldn't say no to him…
