"Hurry, Magnus!" Alec yelled, yanking his shirt on. With perhaps too much speed, Magnus turned the corner, throwing Alec against the window.
"Sorry!" Magnus cried. "I thought I told you to put the seat belt on?" Rubbing his arm that had been hit,- there was going to be a bruise for sure- Alec rolled his eyes.
"Do you know how hard it is to get dressed in a moving vehicle even without a seat belt?" The last scene for the day had gone overtime (surprise) and Alec had been forced to get dressed in the car on the way to his test rather than in his dressing room. Alec wouldn't have even had a chance at reaching his school on time if Magnus hadn't offered to drive him there. The subway, while cheap, took a lot longer. Plus, he didn't think they'd want a half-naked man putting on clothes anywhere near school kids coming home.
With a reassuring pat, Magnus smiled cheekily at him. "I'm afraid whenever I've had to redress in a car, the seat belt was the least of my issues." Alec blinked at Magnus a couple of times, debating whether Magnus was referring to car sex or simply having to change an outfit. Suddenly, Magnus laughed and grabbed his hand. "Just wanted to see your face, Alexander." That's not a denial to the car sex, Alec thought glumly although he couldn't help but grin when Magnus squeezed his fingers comfortingly.
"Do you remember the rhyme?" Magnus asked, turning the final corner and parking in front of the college edifice. Releasing, Magnus's hand, Alec bent to put on his shoes.
"Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee, Harry, Dick, John, Harry three," Alec sang before shifting to his other shoe. "One, two, three Neds, Richard two, Harrys four, five, six… then who?" Alec asked, reaching up to cover his mouth and open his eyes in mock worry. "Edwards four, five, Dick the bad." Alec studiously ignored the poke in the side Magnus directed towards him, although he couldn't help but lean forward and kiss Magnus just to show him how much he appreciated Magnus's aide. "Harrys twain, and Ned the Lad, Mary, Bessie, James the Vain," Alec murmured near Magnus's lips, before leaning forward again and claiming them. Grabbing Magnus's hair, Alec crawled slightly over the console to get a better angle, and moaned when Magnus's hands crept underneath his shirt.
"Next?" Magnus asked, taking a breath before kissing down Alec's neck.
"Uh… William?" Alec guessed, not even sure where he was in the rhyme. Why had he kissed Magnus again?
"Try again," Magnus said, sitting back in his seat and extracting his hands from underneath Alec's shirt. He was out of breath and his lips were bruised, making them appear a darker red. Entranced, Alec leaned forward, painfully aware of his gowing erection rubbing against the front of his pants. However, Magnus wasn't having any of it and placed a palm against Alec's chest, stopping him from climbing onto his lap.
"Magnus," Alec whimpered, straining against the hand.
"Still not right," Magnus joked. "Charlie."
Glaring, Alec leaned back in his own chair. "Fine. Charlie, Charlie, James again, William and Mary, Anna Gloria, Four Georges, William and Victoria, Edward seven next, and then George the fifth in 1910, Ned the eighth soon abdicated, then George the sixth was coronated, after which Elizabeth and that's the end until her death. Happy?"
Well, Magnus looked happy, perhaps too happy. Alec wasn't sure if he should be offended or not. While he wasn't great at history, remembering a rhyme seemed easy enough. That being said, Alec hadn't really proved his intelligence through his tutoring. When he wasn't making a fool of himself trying to answer questions, he was desperately trying to keep his hands off of Magnus, with only mild success. "God, you're sexy when you spout off facts like that," Magnus stated looking at Alec with lust clear in his eyes.
Well, that's another reason to keep studying, Alec thought as he did a full body blush. He opened his mouth, keen to spout off even more facts, but Magnus's mouth was on his before he could think of a coherent sentence. Magnus's lips were soft but demanding, massaging his until a small flick of tongue caused Alec to open his lips in a moan which Magnus seemed to absorb. Taking advantage of the small opening, Magnus's tongue was in Alec's mouth, caressing and stroking everywhere until Alec wasn't sure of anything except Magnus's taste and smell; sandalwood, heat, and sex.
Then he was gone. Alec looked at Magnus with confusion. Why had he stopped? Panting, Magnus smiled and pointed to the building they were in front of. "I'd hate to have studied all afternoon only for you to have missed your test."
Alec stared at the tall brick structure, trying to decide whether the test was even worth it. "My God," Magnus muttered and pushed Alec towards the door. "Get out and go to your test, I'll be here when you're done."
Surprised, Alec turned to look at Magnus, simultaneously opening the door and grabbing his backpack. "I'm leaving, I'm leaving," Alec said. Before closing the car door, Alec rested his arm on the roof of the car and leaned forward. "You'll seriously still be here afterwards?"
"I want to know how the test went," Magnus specified, "to see if I am as good a tutor as I think I am. Purely selfish," Magnus added with a wink.
"Purely," Alec agreed good-naturedly before turning to head inside.
He couldn't believe how lucky he'd gotten. Had anyone told him Magnus Bane would find Alec attractive let alone offering to wait over an hour for him, he'd have told them they were delusional. As Alec walked towards his lecture hall, he allowed himself a brief moment to worry.
Alec could easily fall in love with this man, if wasn't already starting to fall. They'd known each other for about a week and already the pull towards each other was strong. However, there was so many reasons why they would never work. Alec was in love with his brother, something not even Magnus would probably accept. And even if he did, there was the fact his family could never know about Alec's, and Magnus's, job. They'd never be able to tell the story of how they met, or how Magnus asked Alec out, or really any part of their relationship. That's not even mentioning the fact that eventually Magnus and Alec would get new roles to play with different people. Alec wasn't sure he could handle someone else touching Magnus, whispering in his ear, kissing him… even if it was simply acting
Alec stomped into class, ignoring the giggles from a couple sorority girls. When he finally reached his seat, he realized that most of the students in the classroom were surreptitiously glancing in his direction, looking away whenever he turned to face them. Casually, Alec looked down at his clothes, wondering if he forgot to put on pants or something. For another minute, he took stock of himself. His shirt was on the right way, his shoes were tied, even his hair seemed well behaved.
"Hey," Alec whispered to the guy sitting two seats away from him who kept looking up then back down with a slight blush on his already rosy cheeks. "Why does everyone keep looking at me? Do I have something on my face?"
Continuing to do the whole glance-up-glance-down shtick, the guy smiled and chuckled, covering it with a cough. "Not your face, uh, but your neck. You got a pretty monster hickey. I'm, uh, assuming that was your boyfriend in the car?"
Alec blushed, covering the area on his neck with his hand. Sneaky little devil, Alec thought. "Wait- you saw us in the car?" Alec asked, his face turning an even brighter red.
The guy's smile grew even wider and he dared to make eye contact. "You put on quite the show. Pretty sure everyone who walked in the front door to get to class saw it."
Fucking hell, Alec thought, burying his head in his arms with a groan. As if his reputation hadn't suffered enough in this class. Any social standing he had left quickly evaporated as he was surely the lazy, stupid gay boy who liked to make out with men in front of his peers.
When Professor Hodge entered the room carrying a huge stack of papers, all the eyes that were previously staring at him were now nervously aimed at the tests. Alec had never been so grateful for an assessment before.
Walking out of class, Alec couldn't stop the grin from spreading across his face. He'd aced it. Or at least gotten a high A. He knew every answer mostly because he remembered what Magnus had looked like when he said it or what Magnus had done after Alec had repeated it. Perhaps Magnus should teach his class. There'd be no way Alec could fall asleep through that. Professor Bane certainly did have a nice ring to it.
As Alec pushed the door to the outside world open, he couldn't help but glow when he laid eyes on Magnus, who leaned on his car. Magnus was staring off down the street, his face heartbreakingly beautiful. Alec paused for a moment, just to try and save this moment in his memory. He didn't want to forget how the tight leather pants clung to Magnus or how the sun seemed to reflect off Magnus's skin, creating an ethereal glow. He didn't want to forget the expression of absolute peace on Magnus's face, as if he was exactly where he was supposed to be. In that moment, Alec allowed himself to forget all the inevitable problems and the unavoidable anguish.
When Magnus turned to look at him, Alec moved forward and brought Magnus into a hug. "Thank you," Alec whispered. "I think I did really well, all because of you."
Magnus rolled his eyes. "I think you deserve some of the credit."
"Wow," Alec marveled, "that almost sounds humble. Nobody will ever believe this!"
"I said some, not all," Magnus laughed. "Listen, I know we are supposed to have our date tomorrow, but I feel like going out for a celebratory coffee. Care to join me?"
"Magnus, it's night. Not sure coffee's the best idea."
With a shrug, Magnus wandered over to the driver's side of the door. "There is no bad time to get coffee. Suggesting otherwise is blasphemy. Now get in the car before I have to kidnap you."
Sorry I took so long to update! Just know that no matter what, I will *eventually*. So I really enjoyed writing this one even though I have a feeling it's sickeningly sappy. Aw well, my inner romantic is loving it. Hope you guys liked it as much as I did!
On a completely separate note... Did you see that Tom Daley (the British diver) said he had a boyfriend? It's things like this, that a professional athlete who is still in his prime was able to come out and admit he was happy, that make me realize just how accepting our world is becoming. Okay, so there were still quite a few haters and it's not perfect... but it's better and it makes me happy. So yeah, wanted to share my excitement with you guys. Eek!
