A/N: I figured I'd post a little Malec fic that takes place over summer. It's a mortal AU that takes place in Idris but it's modern and I hope you guys like it. I of course don't own the characters. Enjoy
Comments are always welcome.
4. Bonfires
"I want this one," the girl said pointing to the picture in the photo album.
"Are you sure want that one?" he asked.
She nodded and lifted up her shirt showing him her back. "I want it right above my skirt," she answered.
"What colors would you like?"
"Pink and purple."
He nodded. "Just have a seat and get comfortable and I will get everything set up."
He stood up and got everything he needed and started to set up. He glanced up as the girl currently talking a mile a minute on her cell phone stopped and followed her eyes to the doorway where Magnus was standing and talking to Woolsey.
There was a guy next to him who had dyed green hair and pale skin dressed in khaki's and a white t-shirt and black sweater. He looked rather bored and wanting to be anywhere but here.
Magnus on the other hand was talking a mile a minute with Woolsey smiling and laughing. He had on a pair of black shorts that stopped just in the middle of his thighs showing off his legs, red toms and a blue and white tank top with his hair pulled back into a bun and sunglasses.
"Alec!" Magnus grinned when he saw him and walked over. "Just who I was planning to speak to next."
"Who's your friend?" the girl giggled looking at Magnus.
"I'm Magnus," he smiled. "Mind if I borrow him for minute?"
"Only if you let me give you my number," she smiled.
"It's a deal," he winked before leading Alec away by the arm.
"You could've said you were my boyfriend…" Alec pointed out.
"I could've, word on the street is your parent's don't know you're gay, I didn't want to step on any toes," Magnus replied.
"Ah that's true, that's a slight hurdle," Alec nodded remembering. "I'm surprised they don't though. I've dropped a few hints and it's not like Jace doesn't have a filter."
Magnus nodded a little bit. "I was hoping you'd like to come to a party tonight. It's gonna be a bonfire party. Figured you might want to come. Bring your siblings to if you like. They'll be non-alcoholic drinks so it'll be a sober affair."
"Sounds great. What time should I be there?" he asked.
"Party starts at 7 so any time after that," Magnus answered. "Or you could come over and we could go there together a little earlier."
"I have a feeling that if I come over, we won't ever leave," Alec chuckled. "So I will see you there okay?"
"Damn…fine…" Magnus pouted a little bit and Alec leaned in and gave him a chaste kiss.
"I'll make it up to you later."
He nodded. "I should get going. Ragnor's pissy since his boyfriend has to go to summer school today. Next to we have to go and make sure the place is all set up. Party planning is so hard."
"I'm sure you make it look like a breeze," Alec smiled. "I won't keep you any longer."
Magnus smiled back and headed for the door where his friend was waiting and led him out. Alec went back to the girl and finished getting set up.
"That's what you're wearing to the party?" Isabelle asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What's wrong with what I have on?" Alec asked frowning. "It's just a bonfire party and it'll be cold once the sun goes down anyway…"
"But if you're going to wear jeans, at least wear some flattering ones," she said going over to his closet. "I know you have a pair of skinny jeans in here."
She pulled out a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and one of his red flannels and combat boots and threw them at him. He easily caught them and wrinkled his nose.
"I can't very well change with you staring at me like that," he said.
"Ugh, it's not like I haven't seen anything of yours before," she replied walking out.
He shut the door behind her and changed out of his current attire and into what she picked out lacing up the boots and grabbing his wallet and keys on his way out.
"Better?" he asked.
"Much better," she nodded. "So…this guy…the guy from the party…are you really planning on sleeping with him just because of a bet?"
"He's not going to find out…" Alec replied. "I mean…It's not like we open discuss it."
"But Alec, what if he does…He's a really sweet guy you know," she said.
"How do you know? He could be a closet psychopath," Alec snorted.
He doubted it but still. You never know.
"He works at that small boutique that I like to shop at. He's great with people and he's really sweet and helpful and I just think that if he did find out he'd be really upset about it…So if you hurt him I'm going to castrate you understood?" she told him.
He held his hands up in defense. "Understood, understood."
She nodded satisfied and walked over to Max and Jace who were waiting by the fence that led down to the beach.
"Could you be any more obvious?"
"I beg your pardon?"
Alec looked up and found Magnus's friend Ragnor staring at him with his arms over his chest and a drink in hand.
"Your jealousy is written all over your face," he pointed out. "And all they're doing is dancing."
He followed his gaze to where Magnus and Woolsey were currently dancing with a few others. The two were to close for Alec's liking but Magnus seemed to be keeping his hands to himself for the most part.
"They dated for a while you know," Ragnor said interrupting his thoughts.
"Really?" Alec asked looking over. "Magnus told me he never really had a boyfriend before."
"He doesn't consider them relationships; they never last longer than a few weeks at the most. He's gotten around; if you take sex out of the equation he can be a very good lover," he said.
"You speak as if you know," Alec replied.
Ragnor snorted. "I'd never go out with him. He's not my type in the first place and it'd be too weird. We've been friends to long and I'd probably throttle him before I'd date him," he ended with a small laugh. "Don't get me wrong, we've kissed a few times, but we were drunk."
"Guess there's still more about him I don't know…" Alec said after a little bit.
"Hey, dance with me," a younger guy said walking over to Ragnor.
"I don't dance," Ragnor shook his head and took another sip of his drink. "Why don't you go and dry hump Magnus. I'm sure Alec here would love to see that."
"Ah so you're the one who gave him his first boner. Nice to meet you," the other smiled. "I'm Raphael. Ragnor's boyfriend."
"He told you?" Alec asked.
"And showed me, Magnus has no filter sometimes. You'll get used to it after awhile," Raphael shrugged.
"Are you two trying to scare him off?" Magnus asked walking over and putting his hands on his hips. "If they're scaring you let me know."
"They're not scaring me," Alec answered.
"Good. Let's go down to the water for a bit," Magnus said holding out his hand. "It's too hot and stuffy over here."
Alec nodded and stood up and took his hand letting him lead the way to the ocean. Magnus sat down in the sand and patted the spot next to him.
"I can't tell if you're drunk or just happy," Alec said as he sat down.
"A bit of both…Ragnor had a bit of vodka with him in his car," Magnus replied leaning his head on his shoulder. "What were you guys talking about anyway?"
"Not much…he um…mentioned that you've dated before me…." Alec said.
"Hmm? Oh yeah…but they don't count, it was more physical than emotional," Magnus replied. "I didn't really have much feeling for them…well no, that's a lie…there was one…she and I dated for a while actually but then we broke up…" Magnus replied.
"What was she like?" Alec asked.
Magnus shrugged. "I thought I loved her…I was wrong…not much to say…"
"I'm sorry…"
"Don't be, I guess that's why they call it first loves right?"
Alec nodded and put his arm around him.
"I'm not going to deny what Ragnor told you…I am a flirt…and I have no filter and I get handsy…but I'm not the kind of person that will fool around with someone else when I'm seeing someone…" Magnus told him. "Especially when I care about them."
"That's reassuring," Alec chuckled and kissed him. "I wouldn't mess around with someone behind your back either. I really like you and I don't want to do anything to screw up what we have."
"I like you too. Pretty sure that's why I agreed to be your boyfriend and I know you'd never do that."
"What makes you so sure?"
"You're not really the type and secondly, if I found out, I'd hit you so hard you'd wake up thinking it was a month later."
"Really? That hard?"
"Come spar with me one day and find out," Magnus said.
"You box?" Alec asked.
"Had to get all that sexual frustration out one way, I may not be able to get it up really, but I do still get aroused," Magnus answered.
Alec nodded a little bit and leaned over kissing him. Magnus kissed back and wrapped his arms around his neck and pulled him towards him more until they were lying in the sand.
"We should get back at some point," Alec murmured.
"The only reason I through this party was so that I could sneak off with you," Magnus told him.
"You through a party just to see me?" Alec asked surprised.
"Well duh," Magnus smiled leaning up and kissing him again. "But we can go back if you like."
"I don't mind staying down here," Alec replied shaking his head and kissing back. "Sides, my self-control is starting to wane anyway."
