Magnus huffed as he looked around his walk in closet, throwing his hands in the air. "nothing! I have nothing to wear!"
He was starting to regret kicking Isabelle out so that he could get ready. He needed this outfit to be perfect. But, nothing seemed to be working.
He was about to give up and just call Izzy when he saw his black skinny jeans in the corner, his eyes immediately lit up. He hurried over to them, throwing them over his arm as he searched frantically through rack after rack of t shirts, looking for his green and yellow Abercrombie shirt that he had worn to Alec's concert. Giving a yell of triumph once he finally found it.
It took him a whole of 10 seconds to have the new outfit pulled onto his lean form and to be standing in front of his mirror, admiring his handiwork. He nodded in satisfaction, looking toward the small digital clock on his vanity, smiling as he saw he had 20 minutes left.
"now for the make-up."

"Thanks Maia!" Alec called over his shoulder as he pushed through the heavy doors of Jade Wolf towards his car, the smile on his face seemed to cemented in place as he carefully placed the plastic bag of food into the backseat, before taking his place in the drivers seat.
As he turned on his car, he caught a glimpse of the time, smiling as he realised he had 10 minutes.
He started the car, putting into drive, he wanted time to go faster, but he could wait 10 minutes, after all, he still had to get there.
—
A smile twitched at the corners of Magnus's lips as he saw the familiar form start towards him. He had been waiting for 10 minutes for the other boy, but it was definitely worth the wait. They were at a secluded park somewhere on the outskirts of Brooklyn.
"Hey, sorry I'm late, traffic. But..." Alec started as he sat down next to Magnus against the trunk of a big oak tree. "The food should make up for it."
Magnus let out a chuckle at Alec's comment. "Food always makes up for everything."
Alec nodded as he began getting the small cardboard boxes out of the plastic bag, handing one to Magnus. "I'll keep that in mind."
"So, what did you get me? I'm starving." Magnus replied, his smile seemed to be cemented onto his lips as Alec scooted closer to him so that their shoulders were touching.
"Well, I hope you like chicken, because I got you, the honey chicken." Alec said as he pulled the white plastic box from the bag, handing it to Magnus. "And no shoddy take out is complete without plastic cutlery." Magnus chuckled as Alec followed it up by pulling out a plastic knife and fork and a pair of flimsy chopsticks.
Magnus pulled the chopsticks out of the small paper packaging and began to eat his honey chicken as Alec started on his beef and blackbean sauce with noodles.
A small smile twitched at the corners of Alecs mouth as Magnus lay his head on Alec's shoulder. They had just finished eating and now they were leaning against a tree, their bodies almost intertwined. "So," Magnus started. "You said we were going to continue that conversation..."
Alec chuckled and nodded his head lightly enough as to not move his shoulders to keep the contact with Magnus just that little while longer. "Well, what were we talking about? Was it the talkshow earlier today?"
"Yes, I believe it was." Magnus smiled and although Alec couldn't see it, he could hear it in Magnus' words, which just made him reciprocate the smile.
"Thank you again for helping me write the song, you totally saved my ass." Alec chuckled as he slowly inched his hand toward Magnus'
"Well, I had to save it, the world would be at a loss without it. " Magnus said, not knowing where his new found confidence was coming from as he reproduced Alec's movement, moving his hand the slightest bit closer to the other boys hand.
Alec let out a soft chuckle at Magnus's words, looking down when his hand finally found Magnus's, he slowly took the other boy's hand in his own, smiling when there was no protest, slowly intertwining their fingers.
"I still can't believe this is real..." Magnus muttered out as Alec's thumb lightly traced the top of his hand. "I mean, if you told me a month ago, that I would be sitting in a park, just finishing amazingly bad chinese take out, and holding hands with Alexander Lightwood... I would've told you that you were crazy."
"I still don't understand why. You are amazing Magnus Bane. I have no idea why someone hasn't snagged you up already. And I have no idea why you don't understand how truly amazing you are. If anyone should be thinking this is a dream, it should be me." At that, Magnus lifted his head of Alec's shoulder, giving him a better view of the other boys face. A small smile evident on his lips.
Alec's attention on the caramel skin beauty in front of him was averted when said boy looked away and up to the sky. Alec sighed lightly as he scooted down so that he was laying down looking up at the sky, Magnus following suit.
After a while their silence was broken by Magnus, his voice a low whisper. "Thank you."
Alec just nodded, not thinking that he needed to say anything, Magnus was content. They lay there for a while, slowly moving closer to each other until finally their hands were intertwined once again. Their silence was comfortable, and they were enjoying it. Alec was starting to drift to sleep when he heard a sharp intake of breath from the boy laying next to him. "What is it?"
Magnus turned his head to face Alec, "A shooting star. make a wish." Alec chuckled and nodded, although he didn't turn his attention away from the other boy.
Instead, he leaned in closer, in a moment of confidence, closing the distance between their lips without hesitation. Magnus was startled, it took him a few seconds for his lips to respond, and for him to relax into the kiss, moving his lips effortlessly with Alec's as if they had done it a million times before. Alec scooted his body closer to Magnus's so that their chests were pressed tightly together, Magnus's hands automatically going to Alec's hair as if on instinct. They were wrapped up in each other, forgetting the outside world around them, only stopping to come up for air.
"I was not expecting that." Magnus remarked as he rested his forehead against Alec's, his ever present smile not wavering in the slightest.
"Well," Alex started. "I got my wish."
