"He was hot," Alec said to Isabelle said on the way home.

"I'm sure he was becuase you jerked yourself when you wasn't ment to tease the crowd tonight. You're just lucky Woosley didn't sack you. "

Alec snorted and waved his hands. "He knows I'm his best performer . He wouldn't DARE sack me."

Alec had changed out from his performer clothes and into a lose t shirt and jeans. His makeup had been whipped off but he kept the glitter on, who doesn't love glitter?

Isabelle parked in front of the Institute and killed the gas. She got out, slamming the door shut. Alec followed. They walked to the door and opened it.

"Alec!" Max, his little brother said, running to him and hugging his leg. Max had grown since the last time Alec had seen him. He reached his crotch now.

"How was your trip." He asked.

"It was fun. Hey I got you something to play with when your bored," Alec said, taking his bag off his shoulder.

Isabelle looked at him. "Really?" She asked, her eyebrow arched.

Alec sshed her and zipped open his bag to reveille a large teddy bear with a red ribbon with a belle on it.

"See whenever you get lonely ring the belle three times and either me, Jace or Isabelle will come to your aid. Deal?" Alec asked, holding out his hand.

His brother looked up at him with the same dark blue eyes he had.

"Deal!"Max said, shaking hands.

Alec smiled and caught eyes with Jace. His breath hitched, and for a moment he forgot about the gorgeous man in the club and focused on his foster brother.

Lovely golden hair that curled around his ears and neck, gold eyes and sharp facial features. He was also in love with him too, but Jace was and will forever will be straight becuase he had a girlfriend, Clary.

Jace looked at him hard, as if he was trying to find something.

"Hey Max, mind going to your room?" Jace asked, stilling looking at Alec.

"Why?" Max asked, clearly upset to have to leave.

"Adult stuff."

Max huffed and turned and walked away, not even throwing a tantrum like he used to whenever someone said those words.

Jace waited till Max was gone to speak.

"I was in your room. I thought I left my jacket there, but I find this in there insted," Jace said, holding out a pink dildo.

Alec flushed, a bright red. Isabelle winced.

"I told you to hide your stuff more carefully!" Isabelle cried.

"You're in it too?" Jace accused.

"I hid it safe! Jace is just good at finding things he shouldn't be touching!"Alec cried, reaching for the toy. Jace heled it so his elder brother couldn't get it.

"Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't tell mom about this?" Jace snarled.

Alec flinched and lowered his dark blue eyes.

"I have to tell him Izzy," Alec said.

Her blue eyes widened. "Alec!"
He ignored her. " Jace I think you need to sit down for this" Alec said.

Jace looked at him hard but then pulled up a chair and sat down, waiting for his older brother to speak.

"I'm gay," Alec said.

Jace gave a sound that resembled a snort. "Do you think I don't know that? I've seen the looks you've given me. You're not very discrete ," Jace said.

Alec looked up at him horrified and then breathed in, and then out slowly.

"I also work in a strip club."

"YOU WORK WHERE?" Jace yelled, standing up and knocking over the chair.

Alec kept his gaze on the floor, fearful Jace would hit him.

"Why why would you do that to yourself?"

"Jace," it was Isabelle who cut in. "Think about it, he's a closet gay, no one knows apart from his little sister and has no one really to vent out to. Where else is he going to do. He's highly respected and I won't let anyone hurt him. "

DING DONG!

Alec stood up wanting to get out of the awkward situation. "I'll get it. "

Alec walked to the large doors of the institute. He opened it and his heart stopped.

"Hey is Alec Lightwood in. I'm Magnus Bane. "
