Alec In Dream Land Chapter Eight
Magnus Pov- We drove up to a house that just screamed neat Christian family. The grass was nicely cut, a fence surrounding the yard, and a welcome mat was neatly placed in front of the door. I haven't met his parents yet but I can already tell this isn't going to end well. I glanced over at my boyfriend who was standing dead still at the door, having his hands at his sides.
"We don't have to do this… we can come back another day." He shook his head no looking down "no… It has to be today… it's my birthday so maybe…" He caught his breath and looked at the door before knocking on it. It was seconds but it felt like hours. Finally, a man with black hair and blue eyes answered the door looking straight at Alec.
He glanced over at me and his eyes turned from disappointed to cold deadly daggers. I shivered not able to look away and finally he looked back at Alec. "What do you want?" Alec stayed quiet before looking his dad in the eye "I want to talk to you and mom… May we come in?"
He glared "Why should I let you? I don't let trash in my home." Alec frowned and looked down and I glared at the man "Come on it's his birthday; the least you can do is talk to him. Just give him a chance to talk."
The man brought his attention to me making me straighten up, ready for anything he might throw at me. "Who are you?" I cleared my throat before saying "I'm Magnus Bane…Alec's boyfriend." His dad flinched sucking in air and Alec nodded "we're dating…"
I could tell how uncomfortable he was but it couldn't be helped. This wasn't even my father and I felt uneasy. "You get five minutes" He sighed before walking back inside leaving the door open. I looked at Alec who just stood there shocked.
I gently pushed him inside before following him. Once we walked into the living room Isabelle smiled widely happy to see her brother. I looked away from her and observed the place that used to be my lovers home. It was small but comfortable with a soft sofa, an arm chair, and pictures on every wall.
Alec looked around to and frowned "You took all of the pictures of me down?" I frowned looking at him before looking at the people. There was Jace of course, sitting next to Isabelle. There was a woman who looked like she was super sweet but also a little broken.
Then I moved my gaze to the young nine-year-old sitting on the couch reading a manga. Besides the lack of blue in his eyes he looks like Alec… in a nerdy way. My boyfriend caught his breath before looking back at his parents "look I know you don't like the choices I made and how I choose to live but please; I'm your son and you can't just act like I don't exist." The women looked like she wanted to say something but she stayed quiet.
His father gave him a look of hate. "Your dirty Alec and I don't let dirt into my home." I glared at him clenching my fists and jaw. It's taking all I have not to kill this guy.
Alec stayed calm not letting his hurt show. "I'm not dirt father… I'm still your son. I'm still that guy with perfect grades that you were so proud of." "I was proud of you till you chose to suck dick!" His father yelled making everyone in the room flinch.
"Robert!" his mother yelled but stopped when Robert glared at her. He looked back at Alec then looked at me making me straighten up. "You; I hate everything about people like you. You're just polluting my son's mind more with your fagot ways."
I clenched my jaw again trying not to fight back. "Mr. Lightwood; I assure you Alec doesn't act like me at all. There is nothing wrong with us liking each other, and there's nothing wrong with the way I dress or act." Damn this dude was just begging to get hit.
Robert rolled his eyes and stood up "will you just leave already? I don't need you two around Max." the young boy looked away from his manga and looked at Alec and Alec looked back at him. "It's not like he can catch it like a sickness."
"If that was true I would have been gay forever ago" Jace said trying to help but really was just making it worse. "Just get out already." Alec looked down lost in thought before standing up. "I'm going apartment shopping tomorrow… once I find one I'll give you my address. I believe one day you will see how idiotic you're being father."
He looked at me "Let's go." I nodded and stood up grabbing his hand. Jace stood up "Take me with you tomorrow." We both looked at him and Robert glared at him "What?"
Jace looked at him before looking at Alec "Izzy and I raised money to help you get an apartment. We are all going to live in it just the three of us." Isabelle nodded in agreement "Alec is our brother and we will support him." Alec smiled slightly "Thanks guys." He turned and walked out of the house losing the smile. I followed him slamming the door behind me.
The drive back to Camille's was really quiet but I couldn't bring myself to talk to him about what happened. He obviously was upset by the things his father said. I pulled into Camille's drive way and we went inside together. Once inside Alec looked around confused "Where's Camille?"
"I'm in here!" She yelled from the kitchen. I sighed "Great she's cooking." We both went to the kitchen and Alec gasped seeing Camille was standing there holding a cupcake with a lit candle on it "Happy birthday Alec" She cheered happily. Alec smiled as she handed him the cupcake "Wow thanks Camille."
I looked at her "Why only a cupcake; why not a whole cake?" She smiled "Alec likes cupcakes because they're perfect amount of sweetness." Alec nodded slightly "We were talking about it the other day." I pouted not liking that Camille knew about Alec more than I do.
"Make a wish" Camille said smiling. Alec looked at the candle thinking before closing his eyes and blowing out the candle. I smiled "What did you wish for?" Alec blushed lightly and Camille punched my arm "You can't ask him that or it won't come true." Alec laughed and started to eat the cupcake.
Alec Pov- I walked up to a big apartment building and smiled looking at my siblings "What about this one?" Jace looked at it and shrugged "Depends on what it looks like inside." Isabelle smiled "I love it! It's HUGE!" she said yelling the word huge.
I shook my head sighing "Can you both promise to behave yourselves?" They both nodded and I nodded before going inside with them. "So Alec… how does it feel dating Magnus Bane" Izzy asked smiling. I cleared my throat and Jace looked at her "That's none of your business Izzy."
She pouted and I sighed "It's pretty good I guess." She lost the pout, a smirk taking its place. "Is he hot in bed?" I felt my face get super-hot and I looked at her shocked.
"No! I mean, I'm sure he is good in bed but… I mean… oh just shut up." It was Jace's turn to smirk "You haven't done it yet." I looked at him blushing more. "No we haven't… but… We kissed a couple times."
Izzy gasped happily and Jace rolled his eyes. "You seriously need to at least get to second base. You're eighteen Alec act like it." I stuck out my tongue before going into the apartment complex.
When we got to our complex we went inside and looked around. It was a nice place; three rooms, one bath, small kitchen. "Wow this place is great. There's even an upstairs." It's weird to find an apartment room with two floors. "Yeah this place is cool." I smiled and looked at them. "We're home." They smiled and both hugged me.
"You're having a party" I asked Camille while packing a bag. She nodded watching me. "It's almost Halloween so I want to throw a Halloween party. You better come."
I looked at her "The last party I went to ended badly. Besides; everyone that will be there hates me." She shook her head "This time you have Magnus and me protecting you. Everything will be fine."
I nodded "is it a costume party? What should I go as?" She shrugged and smiled "Magnus is making his and my costumes." "What are you going to be" I asked looking at her.
She smiled "Not sure yet we're going to brain storm tomorrow." Magnus walked into the room smiling "Are you two talking about me?" Camille smiled "Yeah we're talking about how hot your body is." I felt my face get hot but Magnus just smiled "Of course because I am a god among men."
I laughed and looked at him "You're starting to sound like Jace." He frowned and looked at me "That was harsh; I'm nothing like that guy." Camille made a thinking face "No, you can be similar sometimes." Magnus glared at her "So rude."
I laughed and got up walking up to him and wrapping my arms around his waist. "I think you're ten times hotter than Jace." He smiled and leaned down kissing me tenderly. Camille stood up sighing "after tomorrow you both won't be living here anymore. It makes me sad."
Magnus looked at her and smiled "Don't worry you will see us every day at school." She nodded "I know but it's better to have you both here." I smiled and let go of Magnus hugging Camille instead. She smiled and hugged me back before letting go.
"Come on we should all get some sleep." I nodded "Yeah I'm beat." Magnus looked at me "Want me to lay with you until you fall asleep." I blushed remembering the things Jace said and I shook my head fast. "No I'm good. Goodnight." I said walking out of the room as fast as I could, going into my room before Magnus had a chance to say anything.
Later that weekend I walked into Magnus's apartment with my siblings and the party was packed. I felt more out of place then at the last party. Everyone was in costume; accept for me and every time I passed someone they looked at me like I was an idiot. The whole thing with Jonathan has blown over and no one treats me bad anymore; still the looks always seem the same.
I looked around in the ocean of people trying to spot Magnus or Camille but couldn't see them "Alec, over here!" I heard the voice of my boyfriend coming from the other side of the room. I looked at him and was frozen stiff at what I was looking at. How in the hell did I miss him before?
He was wearing bright rainbow tie dye skinny pants, some kind of trench coat, and unisex heeled boots. His hair was spiked up almost to a point and the glitter… so much glitter. He smiled noticing my face expression and he started walking over to me. When he finally got to me he kissed me on the cheek. "Where's your costume?"
I frowned now feeling bad for not wearing one "Costumes aren't really my thing." "I figured as much" Camille said walking up behind me. I turned to look at her and fell in awe at how beautiful she looked. She had on an 1800's corset gown with lace ties going up her stomach to her chest. She also wore silk hand gloves that went to her elbows. "Are you some kind of British queen" I asked looking at her.
She laughed showing two pointy teeth. "Sort of, I'm a vampire queen." For some reason that sent shivers down my spine. The teeth she had weren't like those cheap plastic ones that you put into your mouth and make you unable to talk. They looked so real.
She grabbed my hand "I'll bring your boyfriend back in a minute" She said to Magnus before pulling me upstairs and to her room. Once there, she held out a big pile of leather and belts. "Change into this I made it myself" she said proudly. I looked at it frowning before looking at her "So much leather."
She pushed me into her walk in closet and turned on the light before shutting the door, leaving me to change. Once I was dressed in the getup I thought that it didn't look to bad. Leather pants, leather vest that goes over my black shirt, and some combat boots. I even had belts going all around my waist like they were meant to hold weapons or something.
I walked out of the closet and looked at Camille who was beaming "So cute." I looked at her "What am I supposed to be?" She shrugged "I don't know the idea for it just came to me. Come on lets' get back to Magi."
I nodded and followed her into the hallway. "So… what's Magnus supposed to be anyway?" she smiled "A warlock… well his words were 'The High Warlock of Brooklyn.'" I froze in my tracks remembering that dream I had when I supposedly met Magnus Bane. He called himself the High Warlock of Brooklyn. Camille looked at me and frowned. "Al, what's wrong?" I shook my head and smiled "Nothing.
Magnus Pov- I went to the sofa and sat there waiting for my best friend and boyfriend to come back. "I wonder what's taking so long" I sighed leaning back. "We're here you can stop being emo now" Camille said walking up. I glanced at her before looking at Alec and I was frozen by his beauty.
It was like leather was made for him, it fit his body perfect and the black brought out the blue in his eyes. Still, something felt wrong about it… something about his outfit made me feel inferior. "How… How do I look?" he asked blushing softly.
The sight of his blush, made all my inferiority go away and I smiled pulling him close "You look sexy." He glanced away, embarrassed by my choice of words. "Hey Alec!" Jace yelled over the loud music as he and the rest of Alec's friends walked up. Jace, of course, wasn't in a costume, just black jeans and a white shirt.
Isabelle was dressed in a full body leather suit that made her look like cat women. Clary and Simon were both in cosplay. Simon was dressed as a ninja from the anime Naruto, must be an oc because I've never seen it before and Clary was putting her red hair to good use and being Kushina Uzumaki, also from Naruto. "You two like Naruto?" I asked looking them over.
Clary nodded "Yeah but Max was the one who begged us to do the cosplay." I glanced over at Alec who was frowning after hearing his brothers' name. "Well you all enjoy the party" I said grabbing Alec's hand and pulling him onto the dance floor. He had a scared expression on his face that amused me.
"What you don't like dancing?" "It's not that I don't like it… it's that I don't know how." I smiled and pulled him close wrapping my arms around his waist. "Allow me to show you."
He hesitantly wrapped his arms around my neck and I pulled him closer. "It's a slow dance, our chests should be touching." I pulled him so close that every inch of our bodies were touching. This made him embarrassed but I didn't care.
We started to move slowly together keeping in time with the music. Alec kept looking at his feet and I made him look at me "look into my eyes and you'll be fine." He looked into my eyes. "I can't… If I look into your eyes, I'll never want to look away." I removed my hands from his waist and cupped them around his face. "Then don't" I said softly before kissing him. He closed his eyes and kissed me back, the grip around my neck getting tighter.
With those smooth moves you know Magnus got some that night! The next chapter time skips a year and it will start to cross over with Alec in Normal Land.
