Chapter 10
Magnus' POV
Alec and I cooked something for dinner together, the kitchen now looked like hell broke loose but it was fun... and... hot. I placed the dishes and flatware on the table and Alexander opened the door after the bell rang. I could nearly hear Izzy running up the stairs and bursting into my apartment like a tank. I went over into the living room and stopped still as everyone stared at me but Alec and Goldilocks, who looked like he would break out laughing any second. Suddenly Izzy jumped up on the spot, squealing like a baby her hands on her chin and smiling like a child. "Oh by the angel! You're soooo cute!" She jumped again and came over to me slowly, her hand reaching out as if I'm a shy animal which would run away if she gets to me to fast. I furrowed my eyebrows and just watched her. "Can I touch you?... It has to be so smooth... Isn't it?" She looks over her shoulder to Alec, who stands there and looks at his sister as if she's absolutely crazy. "I would rather like it if nobody touches me." Isabelles face fell, disappointment written all over it. She stops coming nearer and her hand falls to her side. I look at her, then at Simon and Clary who are still standing right to the closed door as if frozen in place.
I take a deep breath and exhale slowly, rolling my eyes and my shoulders sagging. "Okay... But be careful!" Izzy smiled again and came over the rest of the way, her fingers very gently touching my ear after I bent my head down to make it easier for her to reach it. I could feel the enthusiasm radiating from Izzy who still smiled like a toddler. "Wow Magnus, it's even softer than I thougt it is. And I think it kind of suits you." Clary came over then, her green eyes curious. "Am I allowed to touch you, too?" I nodded and felt another pair of fingers caress my ear, I really needed to concentrate cause I didn't want to purr, so it helped that Jace started talking in that moment. "Why are they allowed to touch you?! You hissed at me as I touched your tail!" I stood up straight again, Izzys and Clarys hands gliding off of my head. "Cause your a dickhead and laughed your ass off." He crossed his arms over his chest and looked hurt. "Izzy just called you cute and jumped up and down as she said it, it's the same as laughing." "It's not." Alec came over to me and pointed to the dining room. "We made dinner. I think we should eat, then we can talk."
The first minutes we were all eating in silence before Clary spoke. "So... How did that happen?" "I wanted to cast a spell to become mortal. It was a form of a changing spell and went wrong, as you could see." "Will you try it again?" Izzy asked. "I will try it again, but I need to take more time to find out how the spell really works and what went wrong. But I'm sure that I want to live this life as my last." Simon sat down his glass and asked: "So you're still a warlock?" "Yes, I'm still a warlock. That's the good part, I can correct my mistake." Jace swallowed the bite of his food and I knew now a silly question would come... "Do you get claws? Or can you purr? Or do you run in circles in your bed before you lay down?" "Screw you." "Ohh! Come on! You answer all those questions but not mine? I'm curious!" "Then stay curious. I won't answer your stupid questions." I glared at him and ate some broccoli. Simon looked at me and aksed: "Are there any other warlocks who look like a neko? I mean you all have your marks, your eyes, horns, different skin color... Maybe someone used a spell to become a neko." "I don't think so. Warlocks are not known as the biggest manga freaks. I think it's very unique, I don't know any other warlock who looks like that, and I know most of the warlocks." Oh no... Jace looks like he's trying to think... "Do you want to show it? Or will you take a glamour? Everyone knows you love cats, maybe you could say that you wanted that result, would they care?" I looked a bit taken aback, that was serious... from Jace... "I will take a glamour. Who would think of looking like a cat as a great thought?" The others looked at each other, drinking or eating something before Izzy said: "Nearly everyone. It's cute and just hot on the other hand. Just think about Catwoman... she's hot." Raising my eyebrows I looked around, Jace and Simon shrugged and were definitely thinking about Catwoman, Clary nodded and looked down.
"I'm not cute." Simon looked at me sheepishly. "Like that, you're not really as intimidating as before. Sorry man. You're kind of cute with all that fur and the twitching ears and tail and somehow I just want to crawl you all the time..." His eyes became a little dreamy during his speech. "Simon..." He shook out of it and looked to his plate ashamed. "That's a joke, isn't it?" My eyes scanned other their faces but somehow only found guilt. "Do you all think so? You all want to touch me all the time?" Everyone watched their food but Alec. "In my case it's not because your a neko or got fur. It has always been that way for me. I don't really know if nekos have some special power in that way, they are just fantasy figures, they normally don't exist. Or to say it correctly, we've never seen one." I watched the others and waited for another answer. "It's really hard to keep my hands away from you. It's like I have to pet you cause it's good for me and for you..." Clary said shyly. "Isabelle, Jace what about you?" They looked at each other, then at me. Izzy just nodded and Jace said: "See? It's not my fault I want to crawl your ears! Am I allowed to, now?" I just glared at him, put my glass down on the table and stood up. "Excuse me. I'll be back in a few minutes." Alec stood up too. "Where are you going?" I went over to the door and answered over my shoulder: "Putting on a glamour. You're all have to be fucking kidding me." My ears twitched back to my head because of the anger and before I left the room I heard Isabelle: "Ohh... Look at his ears! Sooo cute." I fucking hated it.
Alecs POV
We talked about the last hunt and tried to avoid everything around Magnus' transformation, but it didn't really work. I told them about our plans to let it go like that for as long as we needed to make the next step as secure as possible when Magnus came back. He looked nothing other than before. "Mmh... Didn't the glamour work?" The others looked at Magnus as if they tried to see something that isn't there. "I hope it works. I made a glamour you can see through, but no other one. Isabelle, how do I look to you know? And... do you still want to treat me like your pet?" Izzy watched him a minute before she said: "I can't see the tail or your ears anymore but I have to admit, you still look more attractive to me than normal." The others nodded to that. "No. That's not because of the neko thing, that's just because I'm amazingly attractive." "Huh! Call me arrogant ever again." Jace said and laughed before taking another sip of his red wine. "But Izzy is right, for me it's the same." "You have to be joking! You're the fucking straightest person I know, you can't think I'm attractive!" Jace shrugged, his expression serious. "Even I can say when a man is attractive or not, that doesn't mean I want to dance the horizontal tango with them. Now, after you're magic accident, you're more attractive than before, even when we can't see all that cute, soft fur parts of you... okay... that sounded weird..."
I rolled my eyes and looked at him. "Then shut up, Jace." He looked at me dumbfounded. "What? Should I sit here and pretend you're not talking about my boyfriend?" They all looked guilty now as Izzy said: "We can't do something against it. Alec, you know how magic influence could work. We are all wearing runes against it, they work with the encanto of vampires for example, but not here. So... what should we do?" I crossed my arms over my chest. I knew I was acting like a child, but when the people I trusted the most acted like that, how would others in the world outside, other downworlders react? "I don't know, ask Clary! She's the one who can create new runes!" Clary watched me closely, I knew I was unfair but I couldn't stop. "You know it doesn't work like that, Alec." "Yes, I know. I'm sorry. Excuse me, I'm not hungry anymore."
I closed the bedroom door behind me and just laid down on the bed, staring holes into the ceiling. I heard them laughing in the dining room, that was good, I didn't completely ruin the mood with my jealous and childish behavior. A soft knock let me push myself up to my elbows and Jace entered the room. "Hey." He took a look around and wrinkled up his nose. "Wow. It's even more colorful than the last time I saw this room." "What do you want." He came over to the bed and sat down. "Just talk to you. We don't really do that since your not living in the institute anymore. It's just going to a mission, hunting and go back home. But you'll always be my parabatai, so... what's going on in that crazy head?" I sat up, leaning my face into my hands a rubbing my temples. "I'm just jealous, that's all." "You always get crazy when you're jealous, that's true, I still remember how you behaved around Clary. But when will you decide that there's no reason to become jealous?" I looked at him confused. "What do you mean?" "I mean, that you've no reason to be insecure, Alec. You're good looking, you love with all of your heart, you're loyal, funny... I could go on like that forever but the biggest reason is... he loves you. You can see it in every look he gives you. You think you don't deserve him, become insecure and then jealous. Look at me and Clary. I don't deserve her but she's still with me and I just enjoy every single second until she recognises that I'm an asshole and not worth it."
"Than it can't be because of my insecurity that I'm jealous... You're the most confident person I know." "I'm not really that confident, I'm just pretending." "I know. So what now?" "It's okay to be jealous, Alec. I go shit crazy myself when someone is touching Clary. But you have to show him that you trust him, don't get angry with Magnus cause other people try to hit on him, you know for the best why they try it, but he's yours. You can get angry when they won't stop, even after you or Magnus told them to." He layed his hand on my back, rubbing up and down my spine to soothe me. "When did you become so... grown up?" "Nearly 5 minutes ago... Didn't you notice?" I laughed at him and shook my head. "You're impossible." "But you love me." "Yes I do, God help me." "Should we go back or just relax in here? That's a room full of women if you ask me, bla bla bla bla without a break." "Let's relax." We both got comfortable on the bed and looked at the ceiling together like we often did it in the institute when we talked. "What about that party Magnus wants to throw. Should we come around too? Then I could hold you back when you want to beat everyone to death." "You will come to the party no matter what I say." "Izzy for sure, it's one of Magnus' partys, after all." "Yeah. And this time you have to get her back to the institute alone. And she will be drunk like every time." "No. Clary will help me." "If you want to believe in that..." "What do you mean?" "This little tiny thing? When you throw Izzys arm over her shoulder and the other arm over your shoulder... Just forget it. It won't work. Izzys arm maybe weighs the same as whole tiny Clary." I laughed thinking about that image and looked over to my parabatai. Nowadays I could just look at him as if he's my brother, when I think back a few years ago my mind would've just drifted to thoughts of wanting to kiss him, now a shiver ran down my spine at that thought and not a pleasurable one. Now his lips formed a smile again, but my heart didn't begin to race anymore, only when I saw Magnus like that.
"Yeah... You're right. It could be a little difficult... But never say Clary that you think she's tiny, I don't want to loose you, buddy." "She got very good in a short time, I have to say that. Let me guess, when you watch her fight demons, you're either proud or fucking horny." "How do you know that? I hope it isn't THIS obvious." "No, I'm glad it isn't, seeing my brother with a boner isn't one of my unfulfilled fantasies. I just know you." Jace rolled on his side and played with the green sheets. "Are you happy with Magnus?" He sounded so serious that I rolled on my side too to look at him. "Yes, I am. Why do you ask?" "He's your first everything, love, boyfriend, sex partner and so on. I want to be sure you don't miss anything. He seems to be very sure if he wants to become mortal." I smiled at that thought. "Yes, he seems very sure and I'm too. I don't miss anything, Jace. I love it that he has been my first everything."
Another knock on the door let me look up. Magnus opened it and I saw the others standing behind him. "I always knew that I will caught you two in a bed together!" He pointed at us and tried to show a shocked expression. Izzy giggled behind his back after taking a glance over his shoulder. "Oh yeah! And in such a compromising position! They are in here for an hour and it got so far! Jace isn't wearing his shoes anymore!" I took a pillow from above my head and tried to hide under it. The bed beside me moved as Jace's weight disappeared and Clary said: "Now he's all yours, Magnus. We see you at your party next weekend." I waved them goodbye without coming out from under the pillow. "Silly people everywhere, please help me."
