Alec Lightwood had stayed over at Magnus's, he only came over to get something of his, he never meant to stay all night due to the party the next day but Magnus Bane had allured him to stick around.

He got up and looked around his boyfriend's room, he reached the dresser seeing it open ajar he couldn't believe his eyes as he peaked around his warlock's room while he slept peacefully, his beautiful ocean blue eyes gazed down at the band in the red velvet box.

"Oh my god." He whispers in awe. Alec didn't know how to feel when he opened it, he saw the ring inside. It looked feminine but maybe it was for a male, he wondered if it would fit.

He quickly put back hearing the movement of Magnus, he turned around and gave a half-smile.

"Can't sleep?" Magnus asks.

"It's morning, It's the time of day to wake up." Alec answers.

"Really? I thought it was the time to lay around in a nice warm bed cuddled up with whoever, preferably the someone you love...Maybe have plenty of sex." Magnus replies motioning Alec to come forward.

Alec slowly approaches Magnus standing at the foot of the mattress, Magnus grins and crawls over grabbing the loops on the blue-eyed boys dark pants pulling him closer, he leans up his cat eyes meeting Alec's eyes, the dark-haired shadow hunter closes his eyes ready to melt into Magnus's kiss, he felt the warlock's lips hover over his and soon he was gone.

Alec's eyes opened quickly looking at the man who stood, a grin on the warlock's lips. Alec blushed knowing he looked a little desperate to kiss, he also knew Magnus didn't mind in fact he loved it, he loved him.

"Let's go get breakfast, My treat." Magnus suggests pulling on some simple clothing, still flashy as always though.

"Are you going to propose to me or Is the ring for Will?" Alec blurts out, he couldn't believe he opened his mouth and words fell out, he felt a lump in his throat. It was out there and now he wait for a reply.

Magnus looked at him, he had a shocked look on his face but turned into a smile. "You looked in my drawer?"

"I-I did…I was curious about you, When I ask you just push it aside and go on about something else, I thought I would find something about you..." Alec says nervously.

"Alexander, I chose not to talk about myself because it's all in the past. I choose to live in the now instead of bringing up old skeletons." Magnus answers.

"So…" Alec starts but stops, he didn't know what to say. He swallows nervously. "Magnus, I'm sorry…" He says words coming to him.

"I'm afraid I have some business to take care of, Breakfast will have to wait." Magnus says shortly.

Alec knew this was Magnus's way of dismissing him, he now felt bad for being curious, he should have left it alone. He turns grabbing the rest of his clothes pulling them on, he follows Magnus to the front door he was lucky to be escorted this far. He pulls on his shoes and slips his jacket on opening the door he stands and turns to Magnus.

"Please call me later or maybe show up to the party the Institute is throwing some cocktail party, It's in the ballroom…" Alec says.

"I will see what I can do, I'm not one for lame parties." Magnus replies. His gaze softens a little, he leans in and pecks Alec's cheek. "Alexander."

"Magnus." He replies closing the door behind him.

Alec snuck into the Institute, so far so good, no one to bitch at him. He assumed everyone was busy decorating, the blue-eyed man was glad his sister was no where in sight, she would have been up his ass about not showing up to help set up for the party, she wouldn't have cared about the staying out late part because she was known to do it before Simon anyhow.

He crept down the hallway close to his room so far so good. Alec almost had a great get away until one of the room's door opened and a red-haired girl bumped into him, Clary Fray, the girl who stole Jace's heart, the girl he used to be jealous of but now liked because he was no longer in love with the blonde, he had his own, Magnus Bane. Clary hadn't been paying attention she was putting her shoes on, Alec knew she was trying to get out of the Institute before she was caught.

"I'm sorry, Alec. I should have watched where I was going..." Clary apologized standing up straight after having both shoes on, she ran a hand through her fiery red hair nervously before resting it by her side.

"No need to apologize, late night with Jace I assume?" Alec questions seeing the look on her face he hit it dead on.

"What make you think that?" Clary asks curiously, a light pink on her cheeks.

A dry laugh escapes Alec's lips. "You've come and going for the last couple of weeks after you and Jace found out you weren't related which I can't blame you...I don't see why you have to continue to sneak around when everyone already knows what's going on between the two of you. Let's see what gave it off...Messy hair, your acting nervous and your shirt is inside out."

"Oh...Um...I honestly don't know what to say...I know how you feel about Jace and I just want to say that I'm sorry if it hurts you...It was never my intention to hurt you, I've actually wanted to be on your good side, Alec." Clary says feeling the need to apologize.

"Clary, Calm down...Why does everyone still think I have a thing for Jace...You don't need to apologize for loving him, its clear you're the one for him...I'm actually really happy for the two of you." Alec says.

"Thank you, Alec...I should get going though, Mom was expecting me earlier but I got caught up…Plus Simon needs help picking out an outfit got to make sure he's dashing enough for the part tonight." Clary replies, she moved past Alec disappearing from view.

Alec opens his door going inside closing it behind him, he leans against the door closing his eyes thinking about Magnus, how happy he was to have him in his life, he thought about the night before a smile creeping on his face.

~flashback~

"I hope I'm not bothering you, Magnus. I just came to retrieve my lucky arrow I assumed I left here." Alec says.

Magnus opened the door wide letting the boy in a smile on his lips, he closes the door.

"You're not bothering me, Alec." He replies.

"So…Have you seen it, Do you know where it is?" Alec questions.

"Hmmm….Maybe." Magnus replies.

"Great, Would you mind telling me where it is or just go get it?" Alec says.

"I really don't know." Magnus says.

Alec raises an eyebrow, he was playing a game wanting him to stay longer. "I can't stay, Magnus…It seems you don't have the arrow, I must have left it somewhere in the Institute." He says, he turns to go back to the door but Magnus stops him in his tracks.

"You mean this arrow?" Magnus says presenting the arrow to the man who was now an inch from him due to his eagerness of getting close.

"Yes." Alec answers, he reaches for it but Magnus keeps it out of reach. "Magnus!"

He smirks. "We're finally dating and you still continue to make excuses to see me. If you want me just come over."

"I wouldn't make an excuse. I needed that arrow." Alec answers.

"You have plenty of arrows." Magnus replies letting the arrow drop to the floor.

He pushes him against the wall standing in front of him so close, Alec tensed feeling Magnus's breath on his neck, he closed his eyes feeling his lips on his skin burning every bone in his body.

"Are you sure you want to leave, Alexander?" Magnus asks a lustful gleam in his eyes as he smiled at the blue-eyed boy.

"I should…" He says.

Magnus presses his body against Alec's he cups his cheeks with his warm hands, he looks lovingly into his eyes. "I don't want you to leave, I'll miss you tonight. Couldn't you stay just a little while?" He asks.

"You know very well if I stay I won't leave tonight.'' Alec says softly.

Magnus smiles brightly. "Then it's settled, You're staying." He answers grabbing onto the loops of his pants pulling him closer, he presses his lips firmly against Alec's soft lips in a heated, passionate kiss.

Alec kisses him back with just as much passion, the breath leaving him. He pulls away and stares back into his cat eyes longingly, his blue eyes glazed with a lust only for Magnus.

Magnus takes the pale boys and bring it up to his lips kissing his palm he smiles without another word he drags Alec into his room.

~Flash back end~

"Hot and heavy daydreaming I see." Isabelle Lightwood, his dark-haired sister sat on his bed in the dark, he could tell she had a huge smile on her face due to her bright red lipstick.

"Isabelle, What are you doing in my room…I thought you'd be setting up for tonight." Alec questions.

"I was setting up but then I got worried about you because you never came home last night or called…I thought you might have slipped in this morning." Isabelle says standing up and facing him.

"Alright, Can you go, I would like to get some sleep before tonight's party." Alec says motioning her to the door.

Izzy turns to her brother a smiling smirk on her lips. "Late night with the warlock?"

"It's none of your business, Izzy." Alec replies.

Oh come on, Humor me…Not everyone gets a gay brother, For fill my fantasy, bro." Isabelle says.

Alec's brow is raised. "I-It's private business between two people, how would you like it if I were trying to butt into your sexual relationship with the vampire?"

"I wouldn't mind, plus the little vampire and I are taking it slow." Isabelle replies.

"Wow, You taking it slow? Who are you and what have you done with my sister?" Alec asks.

Isabelle rolls her eyes. "Oh whatever…See you tonight."

Isabelle exits from Alec's room shutting the door behind her, Alec stands still for a moment running a hand through his dark hair. He decides to lay out some clothes for tonight and take a shower.

After Alec's steamy, relaxing shower he dressed himself in a simple blue button up and black jeans, he saw it was 3:00 PM and the party starts at 5:30 PM, Alec laid down to take a small nap since he figured he had time.

Time passed by, Alec felt like he was being touched, he shooed this person's hand away and mumbled. "Five more minutes…" The touch was gentle at first until he was being shook. "Come on five more minutes, Magnus..."

"In your dream, Get up you're gonna be late for the party and I don't think Isabelle would appreciate that." Alec's eyes opened to the sound of Jace's voice, he rubbed his eyes and sat up.

"What time is it?" Questions Alec who didn't bother to find the clock sitting on his table stand.

"It's 5:15, I would love to skip this party but I can't and neither can you so get your ass up and get moving." Jace says.

"Oh trust me, You'll be skipping the party after you've done your brotherly duty of mingling you'll snatch Clary and end up in your bedroom." Alec replies standing up and straightening out his outfit.

"I really don't know..." Jace agrees.

Alec raises an eyebrow. "What's wrong?" He sits up.

"It's nothing." Jace answers.

"Jace, I know you better than anyone and I know something is up. So spit it out because if you don't then it will eat at you and then you'll be a cranky pants and Clary won't like that."

Jace sighs and rakes fingers through his blonde locks. "It's silly…But whenever I'm around Clary I get nervous, I don't know how to treat her." He says.

"Jace, For the longest time you two have had the thought that you're siblings thanks to that bastard…You Just need to be yourself and treat her like you normally do." Alec answers with a smile. "Oh and avoid calling her your sister by mistake, it might be a date breaker." He adds.

"I wouldn't dream of it." Jace replies. "So what's wrong with you, Alec?" He asks.

"What do you mean, I'm okay." Alec answers.

"Don't lie, Just like you know me I know you." Jace says.

Alec sighed. "Well…I made the mistake of snooping around Magnus's…I wanted to know more about him and everytime I bring it up he dodges my questions so I took it upon myself to check things out…I found a ring, I confronted him about this because apart of me thought it was for me and another part might have been for this Will guy..."

"A ring, You better make me your best man, Congrats." Jace says.

Alec laughs lightly. "It wasn't for me…It was something old, It wasn't for Will either.. I just feel bad for snooping, I should have known that I shouldnt have done it, I did it anyway…He dismissed me and now I don't even know if I'm going to see him tonight or even at all, I feel awful for it all…Maybe I shouldn't go to this stupid party."

"Alec, Everything will be fine. You were curious about Magnus everyone gets curious about their loved one…If Magnus's any good man he will show up and if he doesn't then I'll march over to his home and kick his ass."

"Thank you, Jace. Be realistic, Magnus would turn the tables and kick your ass…" Alec says.

"True…But not the point. You have people who love you and back you up."

Alec pats Jace on the back and stands up combing his hair and putting on his shoes, he turns to Jace. "Let's go join our sister at this party."

Jace follows Alec out of his room and to the party.

The party continued on in success in the ballroom, people danced including Clary and Jace, Isabelle and Simon, others gathered and spoke to one another, laughter was heard through the music, and some were already drunk or getting there.

Alec sat in the corner of the room sipping some drink he had gotten from the bar, he watched the people come and go, the couples dancing on the floor, his eyes towards the entrance waiting for the warlock to walk in and sweep him off his feet, he looked at the time to see it read 7:00, He sighed coming to the conclusion that Magnus wasn't coming, he was still pissed.

Alec knew Magnus had every right to be upset, he wouldn't have liked it as well if someone was going into his drawer either. He sat his drink down and got up and went out to the balcony, he was glad no one was out here because he didn't feel like dealing with other people he just wanted to be alone.

"Alec?"

Alec felt his heart leap out of his chest as his turned around and gazed at the voice who calls to him, Magnus Bane. Magma slowly came closer standing an inch away from the boy.

"You're date should be ashamed to have a handsome guy like you waiting for hours." Magnus greets.

Alec couldn't help to blush, he stood up facing Magnus. " I'm surprised you came." he says softly.

"I made a promise to you I couldn't break it. I apologize for just missing you this morning I know you were curious about me and I shouldn't have acted the way I did." Magnus answers.

" I'm sorry to Magnus... I should have respected your privacy." Alec replies.

Alec couldn't help but to get closer to Magnus, he snaked his arms around his waist hugging him. Magnus smiles in returned his embrace, he lifted Alec's chin to meet his blue eyes and leaned in kissing him softly.

"I have something for you." Magnus says pulling away and fishing though his jacket.

" Magnus, you shouldn't have." Alec replies shocked.

" I wanted to." Magnus says.

Magnus pulls out a wedding band, he looked at the expression on Alec's face he was surprised.

"I love you so very much, and with love like this why should you wait 4 months or years to propose when you can just live in the moment and do it now... Alexander Lightwood, would you do the honors of marrying me?" Magnus asks.

Alec stood the wind blowing his hair from his face speechless his blue eyes looking at the warlock and then down at the wedding band in his hand.
