AN/ Sorry for being slower than a turtle! I have no good excuse aside from that I had some problems finding the inspiration to this chapter! (The fanfiction "The avengers initiative" Helped me a lot so read that if you want something good to read when I am taking forever!) It is more of a filler chapter and there is not that much going on! Although I am happy to say that I have finished some chapters later on in this fanfiction! So some of the more eventful chapters will be uploaded closer to each other! I hope that makes you happy!
Also I like to apologies because this is a chapter that I'm not super happy about! It was hard to write and that resulted in the writing not being as good as it could have been! Though I hope you will like it any ways and I promise you there will be more cute scenes in the upcoming chapters!
His fingers had been itching since he left the party! He felt really inspired to paint though when he had called over one of his regular models he had just felt stuck! He had looked at her curves and the shape of her body and nothing had ended up on the paper! It didn't matter if he chanced the setting or something like that! He had in the end just told Lindsey that his head weren't really in the game and that there wouldn't be a painting today! Still when Lindsey had left that feeling, that itch to paint was still there! He didn't understand why it was there if he had no inspiration to write! Though he tried the next day to paint something with a family that wasn't staged but rather just a natural interaction between people! Though that didn't work either! He got bored and restless before he was even done sketching! He couldn't find any way to stimulate that itch and it was confusing him! He had never felt like this before! Otherwise when he felt this feeling he would start painting and it would help! Now it didn't and he couldn't figure out why! He knew that he couldn't stop thinking about Magnus and that he was coming her on Wednesday, though he did not see the link between those two feelings! He kept wrecking his brain though it wouldn't give him the answer! And as if it wasn't enough that he couldn't get his fingers to stop itching he also had to deal with his sister! She had seen him talking to Magnus and since she was the only one who knew that he was a homosexual, he knew that she was going to be all over this! And so she was! She had been calling him and texting him since the moment she woke up! Which was quite impressive seeing as she was probably hung over because Alec knew for a fact that she had stayed longer than him and definitely been drinking more too. He had turned off the vibrations on his phone since he had tried different types of paintings. It was now dinnertime and he officially gave up! It was as if he had a writer's block and also had this urge to write, the only difference was that in his chase it was painting and not writing. He just gave up! He was going to have to live with his fingers itching for a while longer and seeing as he gave up he took up his phone deciding to read the messages form his sister!
"Alec! What happened? I saw you talking to Magnus and enjoying yourself!" 11.43
"Alec! Don't just ignore me! I am your sister!" 11.59
"Don't force me to go to Magnus for details!" 12.20
"Alexander Gideon Lightwood! You are seriously driving me MAD! Tell me what happened or I'll tell dad your little secret!" 13.07
Alec stared at the messages on the screen! His sister had seriously been pissed at him for not answering though it really wasn't that unusual for him not to answer though he guessed that this was killing her extra much seeing as he never ever had ANY kind of action with a guy! So he could understand why she was freaking out but really!? Telling him that she would tell that! That was low even for her! He shook his head and continued reading. He ignored all the missed calls that he had because god knew that between the messages she had called seven times!
"I HAVE TALKED TO MAGNUS! HE SAID YOU ARE GOING ON A DATE! IS THAT TRUE?!" 14.02
"I take your silence as a yes!" 14.03
"You are killing me! How could you arrange a date and then spend the next whole day ignoring me?" 14.35
"OKAY! THIS IS IT! If you don't answer soon I am coming over!" 15.01
"I AM COMING OVER! (As soon as I have fed Max because Jace would never remember something like that! Especially when he is still hungover and cranky AF)" 15.35
"I am coming now! Be prepared to spill all the fucking details!" 17.06
Alec looked down on his watch flinching! It was twenty minutes since that last text and that meant that she would storm through those doors any minute now and she would probably kill him since he had been ignoring her the whole day! He sighed! He was really not in the mood to deal with his sister right now. He was really, really annoyed that he couldn't paint! He just wanted to lose himself and forget about those intense eyes that had been haunting him since last night! He had fallen asleep thinking about how interested they had seemed and how he had completely forgotten that he was on a party full of rich people! The only thing he had been able to thing about had been those eyes! It was about that time when he once again let his thoughts wonder that he heard to door open! It was a heavy door and it was loud! Which was the only reason that he heard it! Also he cursed his sister and her skills of picking his lock! It was really annoying because she never respected the closed and locked door!
"TELL ME EVERYTHING!" She almost screamed at him! She didn't care that he was only a couple of meters away and that Alec almost became deaf! He sighed and walked to the refrigerator and took out two beers! He gave one of them to the sister and he walked over to the sofa! He knew that there was no escaping his sister and all her questions so he guessed that the only thing he could really do was to take the bull by the horns and tell her what happened!
"Well first of all, we are not going on a date!" He stared at his sister knowing she was not going to believe him!
"Magnus came up and started talking with me and we started talking about painting and then I ended up asking him if he wanted to come over and see some of my work! NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED" Alec explained before his sister could have a chance of telling him otherwise or protest in some way! She gave him this look! It was clear that she didn't believe him and her mind had probably gone somewhere along the lines of him and Magnus having sex in the closet somewhere!
"Really, you just talked?" She didn't expect more from her brother! He had a hard time admitting anything especially when it came to his feelings for the same gender. Though she had heard the rumors about Magnus and she had surely expected more from him. He was known for sleeping around and it was hard finding anyone that he hadn't slept with, girl or guy didn't matter! He was a player and when she had seen him with Alec she had hoped that it would lead to something deeper though when she had woken up this morning she had realized that that had been kind of naïve thinking about the rumors that she had heard about Magnus! Though she had hoped that maybe this was a beginning for Alec! He needed to admit that he was gay and he needed to realize that it was okay! She had tried to tell him again and again though it didn't matter! It kind of felt like it went in through on ear and out through he other! She worried about him and she wasn't really sure what to do with the information she had because he refused to talk to her about these things!
"Yeah, he was really interested in my painting and we talk about some other things and he was really not like other rich kids!" Alec smiled a bit and Izzy felt her heart melt! It was not admitting that he felt some kind of attraction which she hoped that he would do one day! She was just really glad that he was making friends because the truth was that since he had told his parents and friends that he was becoming a painter he hadn't really made any friends other than the models he had and they were getting paid to be there and didn't really talk.
"I'm glad to hear! Though why did Magnus mention a date? What was he talking about?" She frowned and waited for him to explain.
"He… I…I kind of asked him to come over here and look at my paintings." He shook his head and he didn't understand why it was so hard to speak about what he had decided with Magnus. Izzy smiled big against him! It was really special for him to invite someone to look at his paintings. She knew that it was something special about it and she felt really proud. Alec had opened his beer though he hadn't even started drinking it and Izzy decided that she wouldn't pressure him more. So she started up the TV and she put on an episode of The big bang theory. She hoped that it would take both their minds of things! She wasn't going to pester him about this anymore and she figured that Alec could use the distraction! Alec was really glad for her giving up with all her questions even if there hadn't been that many of them! His sister stayed with him during the rest of the evening! They drank some beer and watched a lot of big bang theory! It was really nice and Alec found it really relaxing and he managed to forget about Magnus for a while! That was until she hugged him and went home that night. That was when the thoughts came back and he just couldn't stop thinking about his eyes and the smile! He had gone over their conversation over and over every moment he got a chance! That feeling stayed with him and he tried to stop thinking about him though he couldn't! He couldn't draw anything these days and he couldn't stop thinking about Magnus! He didn't understand how he was going to make it until Wednesday! Why couldn't he continue living his life? Soon he fell asleep though not even in his dreams would Magnus leave him alone! It was a beautiful dream about sunshine and Magnus though it was disturbing to wake up from it! Why was Magnus on his mind and in his dreams?! They guy had been nice and Alec would really like to paint him though that didn't mean anything more than Alec actually making a friend! He didn't have that many outside of his siblings and well he guessed that that was partly his fault! Though he couldn't help himself! When he started painting he couldn't stop! He just forgot all those basic human needs and that involved human contact as well and usually people didn't take too keenly to being forgotten! Though he hoped that Magnus could manage! Because he seemed like a really decent guy and he had liked the first impression! Now he just had to make a good second impression and convince Magnus that he wasn't mad!
AN/ Thanks for reading! I hope you liked it!
