AN: Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted. I've been a little discouraged from posting because of lack of feedback. I would really appreciate some reviews. When I see reviews or likes and follows it makes me eager to give you guys something new. I'm not going to stop writing this story because I love my boys but my updates will take longer if I don't think anyone is actually reading. Sorry for the typical AN but it's kinda how I feel. So please blow up my email. I get super happy when I see FanFiction notifications.
Anywho here is what's next for the boys.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I am still not CC. So I still don't own anything but what's happening. Even still that is all the boys. I'm just retelling for them. :)
Dinner went well. Both men just sat and ate dinner like they hadn't eaten in months. When they were finished Alec collected the containers and moved everything to the kitchen. Magnus stood and followed him. "Alec… let me clean up. Please. It's the least I could do" he said as he stepped into the room behind the black haired man. "Magnus… you really shouldn't be doing anything. Jace said to take it easy and relax." "Come on dearie. If I sit for any longer I'll go crazy. I'll just load the dishwasher and then I'll sit back on the couch like a good little boy" Magnus said with a sarcastic voice and a pleading look on his face. He's giving me puppy dog eyes. How am I supposed to resist puppy dog eyes? God he's gorgeous. Alec sighed in defeat.
"Fine…But I'm helping you as well. I'm not going to let you fall over in my kitchen" Alec stated as he started rinsing dishes in the sin. Magnus came to stand next to him and as Alec rinsed he placed the dishes in the dishwasher. Alec handed Magnus a plate and their hands connected. Magnus just smirked and put the plate in the machine. Alec, on the other hand, blushed and pulled his hand back. Magnus cleared his throat and said "So are you gonna tell me what happened earlier? Or am I going to have to guess. Though, I could probably guess correctly based on your reaction and the photo. Which, by the way, I would also like to know about."
Alec sighed and turned to Magnus. "I really don't like to talk about it" he said quietly.
"I realize that but it kind of freaked me out and I want you to know that you can trust me. I know we just met but I want to be friends. My mind is taking me to all kinds of horrible conclusions and I don't like any of them and I'm hoping you'll tell me that my thoughts are the farthest from the truth…" Magnus trailed off as he got a wide eyed look from Alec.
"You want to be friends?" Alec whispered, barely loud enough for the taller man to catch.
"Of course! Why wouldn't I want to be friends?"
"People don't usually want to be friends with me… I'm weird, gay, and worthless…" Alec trailed off at Magnus' look. It was a look of disbelief and anger.
"Don't you dare say that about yourself! You are not worthless! I've known you for a total of 12 hours and I already know that you would do anything for someone. You are taking care of me when you really don't have to. You are getting nothing back from me. Would a worthless person do that? Alec you are one of the kindest albeit shy people that I have had the pleasure to meet. Please don't put yourself down." Magnus said to him in a serious but caring tone.
"I.. okay Magnus. I'm just not used to people other than my siblings liking me. I haven't let anyone get close to me in a long time. I would like to be friends with you. I… can we just hold off on the conversation about my past for a little while? I want to be friends and I don't want you that to depend on my past. Please. I promise I will tell you when I'm ready." Alec said back to him, his voice low and soft.
"Alec, I'm going to be your friend no matter what you tell me. I will wait for you to be ready. Do you want to play 20 questions? Nothing too personal, just random things about ourselves."
"Yes we can play. Do you want a drink or anything before we start? Actually, we should get you comfortable first. Come with me" Alec said standing up and leading the taller man to his bedroom.
"Alec, I know you said we would be friends but I think jumping into bed with you would move us directly into more than friends." Magnus said with a smirk.
"Ha Ha Magnus. We aren't jumping into bed. Since we aren't actually going to be sleeping I figured we could sit in here. I'll sit at my desk. You get in the bed and get comfortable. Jace said that you are supposed to be comfortable and relaxing. I know from experience that that couch isn't relaxing." he said while grabbing two sets of pajamas out of his drawers. He handed a pair of pants that were too long for him and a shirt to Magnus. He took his own and walked towards the bathroom connected to his bedroom. "I'll change in the bathroom" he said and walked through the door shutting it behind him. Once he was clothed in the pajamas, he walked back into the bedroom. He stopped in his tracks as soon as he opened the door. What he was seeing had him all but drooling.
Magnus was standing with his back to the bathroom door. I can't believe that I'm going to be here in this beautiful boy's bedroom, in his pajamas, with him, for the rest of the night. How am I going to control myself around him? Magnus brought the clothes to his face and inhaled. They smelled so good. Just like Alec, laundry detergent and something that was all him. Magnus stopped sniffing the boys clothes and stripped down. He slipped the plaid bottoms up his long legs and tied the tie. Alec was more muscular than Magnus so they were a little loose. He was about to put the shirt on when he heard the bathroom door open. He decided he was going to give Alec a nice little show. He bent to the floor where his clothes were and picked them up. He folded his jeans and shirt before placing them back on the floor on top of his shoes, making sure to stick his ass out as he did it. When he came back up he stretched his arms high above his head and then turned around mid-stretch. The look on Alec's face was priceless.
His lips were slightly parted and his tongue poked out and licked his lips. His eyes were staring at Magnus' bare chest and they were hooded. Magnus looked the boy up and down and noticed an impressive bulge at the front of Alec's pants. It made Magnus' own dick bob like it was saying Hi to him. This man is going to kill me. He noticed that Magnus had turned around and was looking back at him. Alec's face turned tomato red and he dropped his gaze to the floor. He subtly re-adjusted himself while staring intently at the floor. Magnus took pity on him and pulled his shirt over his head. MMMMM. Alec smells so good. And that face! I'm going to make his face look like that again if it kills me. I saw that erection blue eyes Magnus thought as he teased the man.
"See something you like?" he questioned with a wink.
He was rewarded with a deeper blush and Alec stammering out "I… um (he cleared his throat) … I thought you were done… I'm sorry… I … um you are beautiful". His eyes widened and he looked back down at the floor like the words fell out without his brain telling them too. Magnus thought he looked adorable. "Well thank you Alexander. You are quite beautiful yourself" Magnus answered honestly. As soon as the words left his mouth Alec's head shot up and his eyes widened. "You think I'm beautiful?" he questioned in a whisper that Magnus almost missed.
"Yes I do. Come one blue eyes. Let's play 20 questions. You need to keep me awake remember."
Alec watched as Magnus got situated on his bed. He wouldn't let himself think about how much he wanted to be on that bed with him, or how right it was to have the beautiful caramel skinned man in his bed. He sat down at his desk chair so that he wasn't tempted to throw himself at Magnus. Magnus raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow but let it go and started the game.
"What is your favorite movie?" he asked Alec.
"Um… I don't really watch movies. But if I had to pick one I think it would be The Avengers."
"It's all those hunky men right?" Alec blushed but nodded and added "My brother loves comic books and he made me watch the movies with him. I never told him but I really do love them."
"What about you? What's your favorite movie?"
"Easy. Anything by Tim Burton. I love his film style, and the fact that a lot of his movies have Johnny Depp in them is a bonus."
"Favorite musician or band?"
"That dearie is a harder question. I love music. Anything with a good beat that I can dance too. Or something that makes me feel. Right now I'm stuck in a McFly phase. Don't judge. Same question for you blue eyes." Magnus replied.
"I don't really have a favorite either. It's hard to pick just one person or band. I really like Jason Mraz and I also really like Say Anything. So they would probably be up there with my favorites. I know teenage girl taste right there. But I can't help it. Jason Mraz has an awesome voice and his lyrics are meaningful. His guitar playing is fucking awesome and I'd love to be able to see him in concert. Say Anything well I love there song Walk Through Hell. So good." He trailed off at a squeak from Magnus.
"Oh my god Alexander that is one of my favorite songs!"
"Really? I can… um… I can play it for you… if you want." He said sheepishly.
"YES!" Magnus all but yelled at him.
Alec chuckled at Magnus' enthusiasm and got up to go get his guitar. Magnus looked a little confused but didn't say anything. Alec came back into the room and sat on the edge of his bed. He couldn't play in his desk chair because of the arm rests.
"I thought you meant on the computer, not that you were actually going to PLAY it." Magnus said looking excited.
"Uh yeah. I don't have to we can just listen to it from my laptop if you want…" he was saying as he stood to move to his desk. He didn't finish the rest of his sentence because Magnus had grabbed his arm to pull him back down. "PLAY IT!" Magnus said excitedly again and Alec just chuckled a little. He was nervous. He really had never played for anyone in a private setting like this other than his siblings. Sebastian was always annoyed with his playing and wouldn't let him do it at home. No Sebastian. Magnus genuinely wants to hear you play. Don't bring that asshole into this moment. Magnus is nothing like him. He settled back down and got situated on the bed. As he started singing Magnus was looking at him in wonder. He closed his eyes and started to sing the chorus.
"I'd walk through hell for you,
let it burn right through my shoes,
these soles are useless without you,
through hell for you,
let the torturing ensue my soul is useless without you..."
When he opened his eyes again Magnus had moved closer to him. He continued with the song staring into those beautiful green eyes. Magnus looked as though he was in heaven, just from Alec's singing. The song came to an end and the green eyed man threw himself at Alec. He hugged him so tight he thought he was going to die from lack of oxygen. "Magnus. You're squeezing the life out of me" he managed to get out through the bear hug. "Oh I'm sorry. That was just so beautiful. Your voice is amazing Alec. I can't wait until the residents hear you. They will love you!" Magnus replied with a grin.
"I can play more for you if you want. I don't really get to play that often for people who actually enjoy it…" he trailed off as he watched the beautiful green eyed man nod his head enthusiastically.
"More. Please" Magnus said.
So Alec played. He played anything that Magnus asked. They laughed and joked all evening in between his playing. It was the most fun either of them had had in a long time. When it was safe for Magnus to sleep Alec played him Live High by Jason Mraz , softly until he drifted off to sleep. Alec covered Magnus and then went to sleep in his studio. It was technically a guest room but Alec had transformed it into a studio because he doesn't get many guests. It had a futon which was more comfortable than his couch for sleeping. Before he drifted he thought about how close he felt to Magnus even though they had just met. He curled up with Church, who just decided to make his presence known, and let sleep claim him thinking about green eyes and sparkly caramel skin.
AN: the songs I used here are some of my personal favorites. If you haven't heard them listen. they are good.
Walk Through Hell - Say Anything
Live High - Jason Mraz
