A/N: Sorry, it's been a while, but I have my life outside fanfiction too ;) And hey, this isn't even close to the delay that my other fic had to suffer from.

WARNINGS! BoyxBoy and strong language!

I only own Reed and the Hell-Hole-Castle. Others are Cassandra Clare's, but I'm pretty sure you already knew that ;)

Chapter Four – The Clue From The Exterior

To say that I was scared wasn't true. But to say that I was freaked out and terrified... Well, that was a bit closer to my state of mind. My hands were shaking as we all walked trough the hallways: Magnus in the front, Clarissa beside him, and me behind them. Oh yeah, and then there was Woolsey, who was dawdling behind me and muttering something that I couldn't hear.

"Where are we going?" Clarissa asked as she was trying to keep up with Magnus's pace. Magnus didn't actually wait for her, and with him being so tall and Clarissa being so short, the red-haired girl almost had to run.

"To the music room, Clarissa," Magnus answered simply. It was obvious that he didn't like Clarissa, but he didn't really have a choice.

"Ugh, that place is so disgusting! It's so dusty and dirty," the girl replied.

"Well, Miss Morgenstern, I happen to like that place, so we are going there," Magnus said, not giving her another look. Clarissa let out a frustraded sigh and turned to me.

"Don't you have anything to say to this?" I was sure that my heart stopped for a little while as she gazed at me with her hard eyes. I moved my eyes away from her awkwardly. She was very scary!

"I don't really know this place that well yet," I said quietly, not looking at her.

"Excuse me, what? I didn't hear a word. You should really try to get a grip of yourself if you want to make any progress in curing," she said, eyeing me from head to toe. I wanted to tell her the truth. I wanted to tell her, that I didn't want to change. That I liked men and that's it. But I was way too horrified for that, so I just nodded. I didn't repeat my words, but it seemed that she didn't even want to hear them anymore.

"I'm just saying this for your own sake. We don't my father to hear that you're not even trying, do we?" Clarissa said as she turned around. Her voice was like thousand freezing icicles, and it my body shiver. Why, oh why did I end up on a date with her?

Will's POV

I looked around the library. It seemed that everyone had found their groups, and it meant that my duty was over. Well, not completely over, but now I only had two people to watch over. I took a look at the three people standing in front of me: I knew all of them.

The girl, Aline, was my cousin. I hadn't seen her in a long time, and we weren't actually friends, but I was still glad to see her. I'm pretty sure that no one else knew it besides me, but Aline was actually bisexual, and she even liked women more. But I couldn't really care less.

I didn't hate gays or lesbians, although everyone seemed to think so. I was actually working in this awful place only because of the money. They paid me the money that I needed for my sister. She, Cecily, was very sick, and she needed constantly new medications and people to take care of her. No one had figured out, what was wrong with her, but the doctors had seemed to found different kind of drugs that made her feel better.

Then there were the two "patiens". Reed and James. They were both nice guys, Jem being more polite and understanding, and Reed being more passionate and a bit short-tempered. They weren't bad guys at all, they just had very nasty parents. I had even played cards with them more than few times. Reed always won because he cheated, but Jem usually didn't say anything to it.

"Should we go?" Aline asked and patted me to my back. She smiled, but I knew that she didn't really wait forward this date.

"Oh yeah. Do you guys have any ideas what you'd like to do?" I asked, blinking a few times and clapping my hands together.

"I would have suggested the music room, but I think that Magnus's group is going there," James said and shrugged. I nodded and looked to Reed.

"How about you?"

"Maybe we could go to my room and play some cards?" he answered.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Reed," Jem said, "You have a roommate now,". I saw as Reed looked at Jem's eyes with that weird look. He always looked at Jem like that.

"Oh yeah, you're right Jem. It wouldn't be polite to not ask him if it's okay," Reed said and smiled.

"So where are we going then?" I asked and raised my eyebrows.

"I think it would be nice to go outside," Aline said, picking her fingernails.

"I'm alright with that," James said and smiled brightly.

"That's fine," Reed said too.

"Then, outside it is," I said and led my group to the door.

We were sitting on the bench that was placed right beside the iron gate. Reed had brought his cards, but no one was playing. Reed just shuffled them over and over again, as the three of them were speaking. We had been outside quite a while already, and the conversation that was going on was perfect for an English tea party, but I was a man who enjoyed action, so I soon got bored. Also, my legs had become numb from all the sitting.

"I think I'm going to go for a short walk. I trust that you'll be fine," I said and stood up.

"Oh, I would like to come with you, if you don't mind," Aline said, smiling as she got up too. I eyed the building behind me, considering what would happen, if someone came and saw Reed and Jem without their date. But like I said, I had always enjoyed the action, so the tought didn't really bother me that much.

"Fine then," I said to Aline, and moved my eyes to Reed and Jem, "But you two better behave yourselves,"

"I swear," Jem said and smiled, putting his hand to his chest. Reed just nodded.

"I'll come back in few," I said smiling, and started walking towards the corner of the building. Aline quickly joined me, walking right next to me in silence.

As we were around the corner, Aline spoke up:

"Did you see those two?" she asked. Her voice was almost a whisper. I put my hands to my pockets and looked at her.

"Yes, of course I did. I'm not blind, you know," I answered, furrowing my eyebrows. She looked at me with that "Are you fucking kidding me?" –expression.

"No, I mean, did you really look at them? Or better yet, did you notice how they looked at each other?" Aline said, raising her voice a bit. I made a face at that.

"No, I didn't. What do you mean?"

"I seems that Reed likes James," Aline answered with a sigh.

"Of course he likes Jem. They're best friends," I said. Aline gave me the "Are you fucking kidding me?" –expression again.

"You just don't get it, do you?"

"Get what?" I asked, almost shouting. I hated the way that women always spoke to me. They seemed to think that I was retarded.

"Reed is in love with James! God, William, you're such a retard sometimes!" See? See, what I meant?

"Aline, please behave your— Wait, what?"

"Oh, now you are deaf too? Aline answered and rolled her eyes.

Alec's POV

Clarissa had been complaining, Magnus had played the piano, Woolsey had slept, and I had stood awkwardly in the corner. That was basically the whole date. Luckily.

Now, as the date had ended, I was free. I had never ever felt so relieved in my life. I opened the door to my room, and I was half expecting to see Reed there, but the room was empty. Still, I wasn't disappointed Even though Reed seemed to be a nice guy, I enjoyed my time alone in a silent room for once in a while. I jumped on my bed, and laid on my back. I stared at the white ceiling for few minutes, and then my eyelids started to feel very heavy. It felt as if I hadn't slept in days. I closed my eyes and felt how the sleep billowed over me, taking me to the unexplained world of dreams.

I woke up as someone entered the room. I first thought it might be Izzy, but then I remembered that I wasn't at home anymore. After that, I assumed that the person coming to my room was Reed. Only we and guards had the key, after all. I didn't have the strength to open my eyes, so I didn't do so. I only tried to find that hazy state of dream again.

"Are you awake?" My heart skipped a beat as I heard the voice. It wasn't Reed's voice. It was his. My breathing started to go uneven, but I decided to lay still and keep my eyes closed. I thought that maybe he would've gone away.

"You are quite adorable sight when you pretend to be asleep," Magnus spoke up again. His tone was amused, and I could imagine him smirking. I slowly opened my eyes and saw him sitting in the other end of my bed.

"How did you get in here?" I asked as I lifted myself into sitting position.

"You left your key to the door," the green-eyed man answered, turning that all too familiar key in his hand.

"Why did you come here," I asked carefully. I didn't feel yhreatened by him, but he surely made me feel uncomfortable. Magnus smirked widely.

"I heard you screaming my name in euphoria," he said, moving a bit closer to me. I felt my cheeks become red, so I hid my face behind my hair.

"I didn't... scream your name. Or say it aloud at all, actually," I mumbled awkwardly.

"Oh yeah? Well, I guess that just happened in my dream then," Magnus answered. His voice sounded even more amused, if it was possible. Now my ears were burning too, and I didn't dare to look up even when I felt him coming closer again.

"Alexander, would you please look at me while I'm talking to you?" Magnus purred right next to me.

"No," I answered simply. I was sure that Magnus could hear my embarrassment from my voice.

"But I want to see your beautiful blue eyes," Magnus pouted.

"No,"

"Fine then," Magnus sighed, "You win," I raised my head in amazement. Magnus wasn't one to give up so easily.

"Oh, that was too easy," Magnus said ans smirked. As I realized, that he had tricked me to look at him, I tried to put my head back down. I didn't succeed in it though, because Magnus took my head between his hands and drew me very close to his face. I swayed a bit, so I quickly grabbed the first thing that was available for support. In this case, it was Magnus's shoulders. The green-eyed man obviously hadn't been prepared for that, for he fell on his back, and took me down with him. My head hit his chest, hard, and I was practically laying on him. My face was getting all red again, but I was so shocked that I didn't know how to move. And besides, being there, breathing in Magnus's scent, felt good.

A/N: Well yeah, it's been a while... But I already told you that, didn't I?
