Chapter 7: Magnus Bane

First off, I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU GUYS! Not a single description! Be ashamed! ASHAMED!

Second, I am so f-ing sick now that I can't stand up without falling on my face, so sorry for any errors. Please point them out! Oh, and can someone bring me some gummy bears... PWEASE! (That was not a mistake)

Third, I have no clue how long it took me to post. It might have been a week, it might have been a few days... Honestly, I couldn't even tell you my name now. If it took a while, sorry. If not... Yeah.

Fourth, you should know by now that I own the city and all of the characters that aren't in TMI. Duh.

Fifth, I'm sorry. I might want to repost this chapter later, since I can't handle stress now, so I'm sure its terrible. I am so freaking sick that I can't finish this sentence right because I forgot where I was going with it...

Sixth, MAGNUS BITCHES!

Ohhhhh the world is spinning...

Oh my god, this man was handsome. He was impossibly tall, with the bright eyes that he shared with Aly. He was shimmering with light sparkles and sweat and before my eyes, he seemed to be changing.

His eyes were morphing from gold to green, but the real point was his face. It was so open, expressing each emotion he felt as they passed. I watched his eyebrows twitch with worry, a saddening pain, hope and a final relaxation when he hugged Aly. His curved lips where lightly parted; he was breathing loud enough to hear, but not loud enough to pant. I got caught at the base of his neck, where a lone bead of sweat fell slowly onto his fitted green crew neck shirt. There were patterns of shadows on his skin that looked oh-so traceable. Oh-so everything is a great way to describe him. Oh-so sexy. Oh-so calm. Oh-so perfect. Oh-so kissable. His head rested on his sister's, but his face tilted towards me.

That would be when I realized I was being stared at. All eyes were on me, waiting for a reaction. Oh, shit. "Um... I...Um... Aly? Who is your...eh...guest?" I managed to sputter out, trying to contain my blushing.

"Ooh! Somebody's got his gay panties in a twist!" Sidney giggled from the front of the group, causing my face to practically catch on fire.

"That's Magnus." A small voice came from a tall girl behind Sidney. Jo wasn't grinning like normal, but her eyes screamed hopeful. "That's Aly's brother. He got kicked out." She whispered, setting her hand on Sidney's shoulder. Kayla and Anna were just looking confused.

"Is said Magnus staying? I don't think we got enough groceries if he is." Kayla blurted out, her confidence wavering with her voice. I know this wasn't the desired effect, but at that, everyone burst out laughing, including me. We are so messed up...

Jo had just finished explaining the situation and everyone wandered off, but I couldn't really listen. Not while that beautiful man was staring at me. He grinned as he retold his traumatic past, how he got tricked into admitting he was gay and on and on and those lips! Listening was just impossible when the words came from him. In the end, it just came down to he needed a place to stay and he wanted to be with his sister. He looked at me as if expecting me to kick him out. I smiled and welcomed him to the gang, though I may have said the words in the wrong order. Oh those eyes... I was mind-drooling. But how could I not? This man was so... HOT! So...

"Have you been listening?" Sidney clucked her tongue irritably when I shook my head no, skipping my normal sarcastic comment. "How will sleeping work? We have five bedrooms and seven of us!" She started making a list out loud of all the rooms. There were two twin beds and they were both taken by Kayla and Anna. Everyone else had their own full-sized. Except me. I had a king.

"I can just sleep on the couch." I volunteered.

"DO YOU NOT HAVE EARS!?" She shouted, right in my ear. "THE COUCH IS BROKEN!" Her face was pink with anger, but she was smothering a smile.

"Oh... Did Anna...?" I started asking, but didn't finish. I already knew the answer. Every once in a while, Anna freaks out, usually ending in stuff breaking, such as doors. Sidney nodded without any emotion. "Okay, you know what? We'll figure it out when the time comes." I shrugged and started heading out of the kitchen. Sidney fell into step next to me, rolling her eyes like a champ. We walked into the living room without talking and I realized *gasp* everyone was in bed. I guess it was 11. Oh.

I was sitting on my giant bed, reading some nerdy book about Victorian-era super-natural heroes that killed demons when there was a timid knock at the door. "Come in?" I shouted quietly, not wanting to wake anyone up.

"Hey." Magnus said, a light blush on his cheeks. My eyes wandered without my permission, down his perfect caramel chest that ended into a towel that wrapped around his waist. "Mind if I borrow some clothes? I don't really want to borrow Jo's and she is the only other person my size..." My eyes snapped back up to meet his.

"Oh? Well be glad you came to me. Jo doesn't wear pants to bed. But I'm sure you'd look smashing in her night-gown." I grinned, earning a shy smile from him.

"You wish. I WOULD, in fact, pull off a night-shirt." He smirked lightly, but his posture still screamed 'tension'. I stood up and grabbed him a pair of plain boxers and threw them at him.

"Just get dressed and go to bed. We'll take you shopping tomorrow." I turned towards my bookshelf, giving him an opportunity to leave, and put my book up. I waited to hear the click of the door, but found myself shocked. He was sitting on my bed with my boxers on and a smile on his face.

"Hey, mind if I sit with you for a while?" He asked. "I should get to know my gang leader, shouldn't I?" His smile grew.

"What do you want to know?" I responded, plopping down next to him.

"Favorite color?" He quirked his eye-brow, starting an hour-long trivia that didn't end until we fell asleep, my head falling on his chest.
