A/N I just finished writing the ending and I just know you'll love it. It's very far away from this moment and It'll take me a lot of time to get there, but hopefully I'll keep motivated until the very end :)

/Monday evening/ Alec pov

School wasn't that bad. When I ignored all of the people, they mostly ignored me too. There was this asshole though, he had long, black hair in a ponytail and he kept following us and calling us fags. Magnus said that he was probably a closeted gay himself, which made it even less understandable. I expected some of the people to be idiots, but it hurt anyway. I couldn't just shut my mind down from it like my boyfriend, so I just tried not to analyse it at the very least. Anyway, what I mean is that it's not that bad. The teachers are really nice, especially Mrs. Brown who teaches history. She was amazed by Magnus's and mine knowledge of her subject and you could see she was excited about someone who actually knew something joining the group.

After school Jace and I had soccer practice. It was kind of funny, because we only knew the rules and it took us about ten minutes to learn to dribble. The others laughed at us at first, but after a while, when we got used to the ball we turned out to be better at it then half of them and the coach, Mr. Shaw, asked us to join the team and stay an additional hour everyday for practice. I quickly said that we couldn't, and Jace agreed. After all, we did have shadowhunting. I saw Magnus watching us and felt happy. Every time I noticed him paying attention to something I did, no matter how small or unimportant, it made me feel warm inside; it made me feel like I was loved.

When practice finished we got changed as quickly as we could and walked to the exit of the school. Magnus was already waiting and he kissed me on my cheek instead of a hello. My parabatai rolled his eyes and told us to go to the car, because he wanted to go home, not watch us make out. Magnus grinned and kissed me on the lips, separating them and slipping his tongue inside my mouth and making me go breathless. When we broke apart, he looked at Jace, but luckily my brother was writing a text, probably to Clary. He looked up after a bit and said "finally" before picking up his backpack and following us to Magnus's car. I found it weird that I've been referring to the apartment as ours, but most of the stuff was just Magnus's. We were going to just drop Jace off at the institute, but I decided to visit my parents. Even though I visited them...the day before?Or maybe it was Friday... Never mind. Just recently. I didn't really know if they'd still be home, they were meant to go to Idris today.

I asked my boyfriend to drop both of us off, knowing he had a client in an hour or so and that he'd want to change. Jace and I entered the institute and I called Izzy. She came a few minutes later and asked me what I wanted. I told her I wanted to see my mother. She said she left using Clary's portal about ten minutes ago. I shrugged and told her that in that case she could choose a movie to watch this night with me. She ran off excited. Ever since we were about six we would arrange all night long film watching and eat a ton of junk food in the meantime. She usually painted her nails her nails, and sometimes I let her do mine. I also made her hair since she was four and wanted to be a beautiful princess, until she was ten and could manage all the hairstyles herself. These night were the ones when we experimented on her hair, trying out new ways to pin it up. I never liked it as a kid and used to treat it like a duty towards my little sister, but now, when I moved away I started to appreciate them.

I phoned Magnus to tell him that I'm staying the night at the institute and that I'm sorry I didn't mention it earlier. He seemed a bit sad but he told me he'll be there at six to pick me up for school tomorrow. I ordered four pizzas and left some money for it on the table so that Izzy will pay for it and went to the nearest shop. I got two big ice-cream tubs, eight different cookie packages, seven big crisp bags, eleven big bags of popcorn, a cola and three juices. It wasn't like we'd eat it all, but I always bought more and left it for the times when Izzy would try to cook. I got back home, opened the door to my old bedroom and realized my sister already brought all the pillows and blankets she could find. My room looked as if a fluffy bomb exploded in it. There was also a whole stack of CDs with the films and Isabelle's TV. She probably made Jace bring it. My parabatai never watched anything with us, because it was "childish", Max didn't like the films and our parents were never there, so it was our time alone. I loved it.

/Tuesday morning, about 6 am/ no pov

"Hi Magnus" Alec said when he got in the car. He had big, dark bags under his eyes and looked as if he didn't sleep at all. His boyfriend freaked out a bit, asking what happened and wouldn't stop until the blue-eyed boy explained everything about Isabelle's and his movie nights, including the history about the first time they made it, when Izzy was only four and their parents had to go to a meeting at the clave and ended up staying there for the first time without the children. His little sister had been very scared so he told her to come to his room and he cuddled her all night while distracting her by reading to her, doing her hair and playing princesses with her. She didn't fall asleep until the morning and when she did, he did as well. year later he asked his parents to buy a TV and they started watching movies.

After the explanation, Magnus insisted on covering the bags under his boyfriend's eyes with some make-up, since he knew Alec would never agree to skipping school. They entered the school hand in hand,more comfortable; now knowing what they should expect from it.

"I packed your bag and glitterified your science, chem and english notebooks." Magnus said suddenly.

"What? Glitterified isn't a word Magnus! And you can't just do that!" Alec said a bit angrily ''What if I replaced everything in your wardrobe for black stuff?"

"I'd snap my old clothes back." Magnus said grinning "And I didn't change their colour, I jut added a tiny bit of glitter"

"I hate you." The shadowhunter said.

"No, you love me." his boyfriend corrected him. "You said so in the Accords hall before kissing me in front of everyone."

"I know, but I still hate you a bit sometimes"
