Chapter 7 "Not a Secret"
Ok Alec, calm down, everything is alright. Nothing happened. Oh God, what just happened?!
Alec looked at his sister with wide eyes as she held his phone. Quickly he snatched it out of her hand and she stared unbelievingly at him. Moments ago everything had been alright. Alec had been having a peaceful sleep and all of a sudden his sister came bursting into the room. When he hadn't wanted to wake up Isabelle had had the brilliant idea to take his phone and look through it…which led to this situation.
She didn't read anything, she can't have. Oh come on Alec, of course she read it! I'm so screwed…
"Alexander Gideon Lightwood, why the hell have you got a date with Magnus fucking Bane?!" Isabelle shouted at him. Alec looked at the door alarmed and glared at his sister.
Fuck my luck.
"Dammit Izzy, be silent! Shut the door!" he harshly whispered and still shocked she closed it. A sigh escaped Alec and he rubbed his eyes annoyed. Of course she just had to take his phone, didn't she?
"Izzy, I swear it's not what it looks like," at his pathetic answer she laughed lightly and sat next to her brother on his bed.
"You're the worst liar ever," the beautiful girl told him and looked at him with a serious expression. Alec avoided her gaze and rubbed the back of his head. The whole situation made him uncomfortable and he had no idea how he should handle it.
"Alec, answer my question. Why do you have a date with Magnus?" she had a certain glint in her eyes, but he couldn't put his finger on what it could mean. Should he tell her the truth or still deny it? But with a sister like Isabelle he really didn't have a choice.
"I-I don't know. Everything happened so fast and I'm sure you'll hate me now, because I like Magnus and he's male an-"
"Alec! Stop rambling, please," she cut him off and looked at him with warm eyes," I could never hate you, in fact, I knew you were gay."
Saying that Alec was surprised would be an underestimate. With his mouth open he looked at her incredulously and couldn't believe it. His sister knew? But even he didn't know that he was…gay.
"How did you know?" he whispered and stared at the floor.
"When you live with a person for your entire life you notice certain things. My first clue was that you never talked about girls, never. You usually avoided the topic. When Jace made a joke that involved homosexuals you always looked away and flinched. And I found a particular manga under your bed once," Izzy told him with a smirk and Alec was sure he blushed like crazy.
She had found the manga, oh god. This day couldn't get any worse than it already was. Damn, why had he even bought it in the first place? Max had begged Alec to go with him to that comic book store and it had been so boring and then he found it and kind of got carried away…
"I-uh…well, this is awkward," Alec mumbled and his sister laughed.
"It's okay, Alec, everyone has his dirty little secrets. Even someone as weird as you are."
"…and you don't hate me?" he asked Isabelle afraid of her answer. She put a hand on his knee and looked him in the eyes.
"Alec. I'd never hate you, no matter whom you like or what you like. Got that? I'll always love you," and Alec couldn't wish for a better sister at this moment. He hugged her and thanked her countless times. After a few minutes of embracing each other Isabelle brought up the date subject again.
"Now could you please answer my question?" she asked him impatiently. Alec bit his lower lip nervously and looked at his phone.
"Well, I met Magnus in Biology and he was really nice. We started talking and had lunch and things kind of got out of hand and in the next moment I have a date on Friday and I don't know what to do!" he told her in one breath and gasped for air.
"Wait, you know him for four days and already have a date? Damn your fast," she muttered and played with her long hair.
"I guess that means I should help you."
Alec stared at her and thought over it. If he said yes, he would go through hours of torture. He would've to explain every little thing what happened and she'd surely make him buy new clothes for his date. But if he would say no, Izzy would be pissed and probably wouldn't talk to him, like Jace already did, and maybe do something stupid. Well, he never had a chance.
"Yes," the hopeless boy admitted with a sigh and heard his sister squeal. She hugged him quickly and stood up.
"It's gonna be so awesome, Alec! You have to tell me what Magnus likes and we can buy you finally new clothes and try them on until we have the perfect outfit! I can't wait! Oh, by the way, now that I have a gay brother. Can I talk to you about boys then?"
Uncomfortable with Isabelle's question Alec looked up at her with a glare, but she looked at him with those cute puppy eyes and she was his little sister after all…
"Fine."
Another squeal followed and he knew the torture would begin all too soon.
School was boring as ever, especially since he didn't have Biology today and it was his only subject with Magnus. Jem was off with Will, which slightly bugged him. His best friend just came back after three years, wasn't he supposed to be with him? But Alec couldn't really blame him. Jem had always been there for him and this was not the time to be selfish.
He still had Sebastian, well, sometimes. At that moment he was busy hitting on a girl, who immediately turned him down. Sometimes he didn't understand girls. Sebastian was good-looking, but still they had no interest in him. He felt for his poor friend.
On the way to his next lesson he suddenly heard shouting coming from his right and he saw two guys fighting.
"Don't you ever dare to touch her again!" a dark haired boy yelled and punched the other guy.
"I didn't touch her! Maldita sea! Let me go!" the other one shouted. He was small and also had dark brown hair. Alec had seen these two before, but couldn't name them at the moment.
The girl at the taller boy's side seemed a bit lost and tried to stop the fight.
"Jordan! Let him go! He didn't do anything!" she yelled.
But her maybe boyfriend either didn't hear or just ignored her. Alec heard a teacher yelling and quickly passed the two fighting teens.
He still didn't know what to do about the date, sure, Izzy would help him now. It was still weird that his sister knew that he was gay, if only Jace could be so understanding.
A day without Magnus was so boring and lonely. It surprised Alec how close they grew in only a few days…and they were about to grow much closer. A chill went down Alec's spine, he didn't know if it was good or bad.
Suddenly another person was at his side, Magnus. He grinned from ear to ear and it showed his perfect white teeth. Unsurprisingly Alec blushed and looked at the ground.
"Missed me?" Magnus asked him and nudged him slightly. If it was possible the smaller boy's cheeks turned even a deeper shade of pink and Magnus laughed amused. It was the sweetest sound Alec had ever heard, even sweeter than a cat sneezing.
"So, about Friday," he began and the two of them slowed down, "should I pick you up?" The pale boy thought about it for a moment.
"No, Taki's isn't far from our ma-house, I'll just meet you there, if that's okay for you," he replied and waited for the other teen to answer. He got his reply from Magnus by his wonderful smile.
"Sure. I gotta go, don't want any trouble from the blond devil," he said and disappeared again.
Alec sighed as he walked into the classroom, his date (it was still strange to say it) would hopefully be good. Well, Magnus couldn't really do anything wrong, it was himself he was worried about. He always managed to fuck up things.
He hoped this time would be different.
