I look at the corner of my laptop and notice it's been an hour since I got home from soccer practice. Magnus still hasn't shown up to my place and I'm starting to get worried. Sure, it takes Magnus a while to get dressed, but it would never take him this long if he was meeting up with me. I pull my headphones out of my ears and close my laptop. I look around for my phone but can't seem to find it anywhere. I get off my bed and head downstairs to check if I left it in the kitchen when I was getting a snack.
As I'm passing Izzy's room, I hear an all too familiar laugh. I stop in my tracks and face the door. I hear the laugh again, along with two additional laughs. I push the door open to find my boyfriend sitting in my sister's fury pink beanbag and talking to the two other people in the room. Clary, Jace's girlfriend, and Izzy are sitting on Izzy's bed, painting their toenails. They all look over to the door as I walk in.
"Darling!" Magnus exclaims while standing up and walking over to me. He kisses me on the cheek.
"Magnus? How long have you been here?" I ask while placing my hand on his lower back.
"Oh, 10? Maybe 15 minutes," Magnus says with a wide smile.
"Why didn't you come see me?" I say as my eyebrows draw together.
"Just needed a little girl time," Magnus says, waving a perfectly manicured hand. I could never figure out how he kept his nails looking so perfect while playing soccer everyday.
"But, Magnus, you're not a girl?" I say, unintentionally posing it as a question. I hear my sister huff from her position on the bed and turn to look at her. She caps the nail polish bottle she was painting her toes with and puts it on her bedside table, swinging her legs over the side all the while.
"You of all people should know that, seeing as you've ventured into the inner depths of a land called his pants," Izzy says with a smirk.
"Isabelle," I squeak at her while Magnus starts laughing. I hit him on the shoulder lightly but he continues to laugh.
"Guys, leave poor Alec alone," Clary says while closing her own nail polish bottle. I give her a grateful smile which she returns.
"Where's Jace?" I ask, trying to quickly change the subject.
"In his room. Speaking of the idiot, can you go get him? Simon is going to be here any minute," Izzy says.
"Why is Simon coming?" I ask. Simon is Izzy's current boyfriend. They've only been dating for 5 months but it's still the longest relationship Izzy has ever had. She's usually more of a one night stand kind of girl.
"We're having a little get together, Silly," Izzy says while flipping her hair.
"But-" I start.
"No," Izzy says. "You're not allowed to protest it. Now go! Could you also get some snacks ready after you get him?" Izzy asks. I nod and start to walk out of her room. I look over my shoulder at Magnus to see he is still standing where he was before. I raise my eyebrows at him.
"Coming?" I say. Magnus shakes his head and smiles at me.
"Girl time, Sweat Pea. Girl time," Magnus says. I sigh and walk out of Izzy's room. I walk across the hallway and knock on Jace's door. When Jace was 7, both of his parents died in a car crash. He came to live with us, seeing as his only relative lived in a nursing home. We eventually adopted him to make him officially part of the family.
"What?" Jace says as he pulls the door open.
"Clary's here," I say. Jace's eyes immediately light up.
"Where?" he says enthusiastically. He looks around the hallway to see if he can find any signs of her.
"She's in Izzy's room with Izzy and Magnus. Izzy wanted me to get you then go make snacks. Simon's coming," I say before turning and walking down to the kitchen. Jace follows me.
I open the cabinets and start pulling out bags of different snacks. Jace jumps on the counter and starts texting immediately. I look over his shoulder to see he is writing a new text to Clary.
"Why are you texting Clary? She's in the same house as you," I say while pouring some chips into a bowl.
"I want her to come down here. I haven't seen her since lunch. Plus, I don't want to have to go through Izzy," Jace says. I roll my eyes and continue to put snacks together.
"Stop texting Clary!" I hear Izzy yell from upstairs. Jace groans and slams his phone on the counter.
"She's my girlfriend!" Jace yells back.
"She was my best friend first," Izzy replies. Jace groans again and slouches in defeat. I chuckle and bring some of the snacks into the game room down the hall. As I put them on the coffee table, Jace comes in with the rest of the snacks. He puts them on the coffee table and falls into one of the couches. He picks up a bowl of gummy bears off the table and starts to eat them. As I'm about to sit down next to him, the doorbell rings. I look to Jace to see if he's going to get it, but he doesn't even move. I roll my eyes and head for the door.
I pull it open to see Izzy's gangly boyfriend standing there. "Hi, Simon," I say as I step to the side to let him in. He smiles at me and walks into the house, kicking his converse off as he goes.
"Hello. Do you know where Izzy is?" he asks.
"She's upstairs having 'girl time' with Magnus and Clary. You can come sit with me and Jace in the game room," I say while walking back to the game room. As we pass the stairs, I hear a thundering of footsteps. I look up the steps to see Izzy running down them, two at a time. When she get's to the fourth step, she launches herself onto Simon. He stumbles back a little before hitting a wall and holding Izzy up.
"Hey, Iz-" Simon starts before he is cut off by Izzy's lips. I quickly turn away and shuffle into the game room. I sit on the couch across from Jace and grab the remote. I turn on the TV and start to channel surf.
I am interrupted before I am able to pick a channel by someone falling into my lap. I know exactly who it is from the way his hand instantly attempts to find my butt. I look down to see Magnus smiling up at me. I grab his hips and pull him up so he is sitting in my lap instead of lying in it. I move my hands to cradle his face and pull his lips towards mine. He smiles into the kiss and leans us away from the couch a little. I squeal into the kiss as Magnus pushes me onto my back and lies on top of me, never removing his lips from mine.
"Hey! You're not the only one is this room!" Jace exclaims. Magnus pulls off my face and looks over to Jace. Magnus smirks and sits up, pulling me with him.
"I knew you were there. I just thought you'd like a show," Magnus says as he leans into my chest. I slap his arm and scowl at him. Magnus smiles and lens in to kiss me again . I quickly move my head so he misses my face completely. Magnus pouts and gives me his puppy dog eyes. I smile at him and shake my head.
"Look what Simon brought!" Izzy exclaims in a sing-song voice as she waltzes into the room. She's holding a six pack of Bud Light in one hand and Simon's hand in the other. Simon's empty hand has a bottle of vodka in it. Magnus immediately perks up and reaches out to grab a beer. Izzy pulls two out and hands them to him. Magnus gives one to me and opens the other. I open my beer and put one of my hands on Magnus' waist. Magnus wiggles his hips, still in my lap, making me hold in a groan.
I look across the room to see Clary leaning into Jace, both with beers in hand. Simon sits in one of the single chairs with Isabelle draped across him. I take a sip of my drink and wait for someone to say what we're doing. Izzy is the first to speak, unsurprisingly.
"How about we play a little game, yes?" Izzy says with a sly grin. No one objects so she continues. "We take turns asking each other questions. If you don't want to answer, you drink. First person who's drink is empty loses."
"And what might the stakes be, my dear Isabelle," Magnus says as he leans into my chest. Izzy thinks for a little before smirking.
"The winner gets to pick all of the losers outfits for school tomorrow and they have to wear them all day, no objections," Izzy says. Magnus' eyes get a mischievous glint and he smiles.
"I'm in," Magnus says. He looks to everyone else and we all nod. Izzy's grin widens and she leans into Simon's chest.
"Alright, Ladies, let the games begin," Izzy says. "I, of course, will go first since I was the one who thought to play the game." Izzy's eyes roam over the group searching for a target.
"Hmmm, I think I'll take it easy for the first round. Jace," she says. "Missionary or doggie?" she says while wiggling her eyebrows. Jace throws his head back and laughs. When he calms down, he smirks at Izzy.
"Easy. Missionary. You know how much I love the classics," Jace says. Izzy rolls her eyes and sticks her tongue out at him. Next to him, Clary is bright red and trying to hide behind her hair. Jace's eyes roam the group until they land on me. His smile widens as do my eyes. I gulp and ready myself for whatever he asks.
"What were you thinking about the first time you jacked yourself off?" Jace asks. My face burns bright and my mouth falls open. I splutter a couple times, unable to formulate an answer. I glance at Magnus and see him staring at me with his eyebrows raised. I quickly take a sip of my drink and bury my face in Magnus' back. There is no way I'm telling any of them about my middle school Magnus fantasies, not even Magnus.
I can fell Magnus vibrating from trying to hold in his laughter. I scowl into his back but don't stop him when he starts rubbing a circle onto my thigh. "Come on, Alec! It was only your first question," Izzy exclaims. I shake my head and don't remove my face from Magnus' back.
"Sweetie, you need to ask the next question," Magnus says. I reluctantly look at everyone to see them all trying to hold in their laughter. I scowl at all of them but it does nothing to stop them.
"Fine. Simon," I say. I blow a breath out and try to think of a suitable question. "Are you in love with my sister?" I ask, thinking it to be an innocent question. I immediately regret asking it when I see Simon's eyes widen and he sucks in a sharp breath. Well, it's too late to take it back now. Izzy tenses in his lap and is looking at everything but SImon. Simon opens his mouth and looks between me and Izzy. He slightly resembles a toddler caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
"Listen, Iz-" Simon says.
"Don't say something just because you think it's what I want to hear," Izzy quickly interrupts in a soft voice. She still doesn't meet his eyes with hers.
"I had this whole date planned out. We were going to go to dinner then walk in central park then when we got to our bench, I was going to tell you. But, I guess now is as good of a time as any," Simon says, staring at the side of Isabelle's face. She slowly turned her head to look at him, curiosity filling her eyes. Simon clears his throat and fidgets with his glasses. "I'm in love with you, Isabelle Lightwood. You have officially stolen my heart."
Izzy beams at him, grabbing his face and pulling him into a heated kiss. They break away from each other, huge grins plastered across their faces. Izzy turns and faces me, scowling.
"Nice job ruining the surprise, Alec," Izzy says with a huff.
"What? I didn't know he hadn't dropped the L-bomb yet. How would I know that?" I exclaim. "Besides, he could have just taken a sip of his drink and still kept the surprise." I shrug.
"Some of us don't what to start losing on the first round," Simon says while raising his eyebrows. I huff and roll my eyes. Izzy narrows her eyes at me and purses her lips. She flips her hair over her shoulder and leans further into Simon. Simon looks lost behind his huge glasses as he attempts to find someone to ask a question. He looks to Izzy and smiles.
"Izzy," Simon says, "What did you think the first time you saw me?" Izzy tilts her head and thinks about the question before answering.
"This band is terrible. At least the guitar player is kind of cute," Izzy says with a large smile. SImon opens his mouth and scrunches his nose.
"My band is not terrible!" he exclaims.
"Oh yes they are. Stop trying to deny it. It's my turn to ask a question," Izzy says. She doesn't even have to think before she asks. "Magnus, what's your favorite flavor of lube?" Izzy asks with a sly smile. Magnus reciprocates her smile and glances over to me.
"I have to say, I don't taste lube, if you know what I mean. But I'm sure Alec could answer your question considering he is the BJ queen," Magnus says with a smirk. My eyes widen and my entire face turns beet red.
"Oh my god, Magnus, please stop talking," I say with a squeak. Magnus puts one finger to my lips.
"Hush, Baby. I'm not done answering," Magnus says. I pout as he smiles at me. "Now, on special occasions, like his birthday and christmas, when I do go down on him I prefer to do it raw. So, you could say Alec is my favorite flavor," Magnus says with a satisfied grin. Isabelle throws her head back and laughs while Jace smirks at me.
"You know, I just might have to get 'BJ Queen' printed on the back of a t-shirt for you. That way everyone can know of your special little talent," Jace says with a chuckle. Somehow, my face gets even redder than it was before. Magnus starts laughing along with Isabelle.
"Oh, Blondie. Nothing about Alec is small," Magnus says while wiggling his eyebrows at Jace.
"Next question, Magnus! Ask the next question!" I exclaim. Magnus laughs and turns so he is facing me. He leans forward so his nose is running along my cheek and his hands are bunched in my shirt.
"C'mon, Allie-cat. Don't be like that," Magnus whispers to me. He let's go of my shirt with one hand and trails it down to the waist band of my jeans. He slips his thumb under the band and starts rubbing the skin covering my hip bone.
"Yeah, Allie-cat. I'm sure Magnus was just joking," Jace says in a mocking voice. I ignore him as I stare down at Magnus. He is looking up at me through his mascara coated lashes, lust plaguing his yellowish green eyes. I lightly bite the inside of my lip and do all I can to stop myself from pouncing on him.
I quickly push Magnus off my lap and stand up. "I have to go to the bathroom," I announce. I glance at Magnus and he stands up, too.
"I'll help you," Magnus says with a smirk. I quickly walk out of the room, ignoring all the snickers from our friends. Magnus is hot on my heels as I make my way to the bathroom in the hallway. I walk in and hold the door for Magnus as he comes in behind me. I manage to close and lock the door before Magnus pounces on me.
