Hello! This is the longest chapter yet - it was originally two chapters, but I decided to give a double update this week instead - I hope you enjoy it!
But now FF- net isn't allowing me to upload this.. So I have actually split it up now. Fingers crossed it works!
Please note however that there is some homophobic language in this chapter. Chris is being a jerk again….
Let me know what you think please! :-)
Alec awoke the next morning and for a brief second, he had forgotten that he had Magnus here with him in his own bed. He felt Magnus stir behind him, spooning Alec loosely, and smiled as the other man placed his hand gently on Alec's hip. Magnus kissed the back of his neck as he said good morning.
"Mmmm," Alec replied sleepily, pushing his body back towards Magnus, trying to hug him without needing to move. He was still tired, but as his ass came into contact with Magnus' cock, his eyes flew open.
Alec could feel Magnus laugh behind him. "I was having a rather good dream Alexander," he murmured into Alec's ear. "You woke me up at a very pivotal moment."
Alec gulped, as Magnus tightened his hold on him and rolled his own hips gently against Alec.
"Oh yeah," Alec said, trying to maintain some innocence in his voice. "What moment was that?"
Magnus growled in his ear, and nipped his earlobe with his teeth. Alec couldn't help the moan that escaped his mouth at that. "I believe Alexander, that you were doing some excellent work with that tongue of yours," he whispered.
"Mmm, was I now?"
"Yes. You were."
Magnus' hands were now edging their way around Alec's body, teasing him along his stomach, until he slipped a hand into Alec's underwear and grasped his cock in a firm grip. He began to slowly slide his hand up and down as he continued to rub himself against Alec from behind. He went back to kissing Alec's neck, and was enjoying the flush that he could see on Alec's face.
"Well, then," Alec began, as he attempted to turn around to face Magnus. "Maybe, I could try and make it up to you? For ruining your dream I mean." He looked up innocently at Magnus, who reluctantly let go of Alec's cock.
"I would be up for that," Magnus winked.
Alec climbed on top of Magnus, and kissed him hard on the lips, pressing himself down on top of Magnus' erection. Magnus wrapped his hands in Alec's hair, moaning appreciatively into his mouth. As Alec began to move down Magnus' body, Magnus kept his hands lightly in Alec's hair. Alec removed Magnus' boxers, and just as he was about to take Magnus' cock into his mouth, his bedroom door flew open.
"What the fuck?!" Alec shrieked, jumping up and off Magnus, his face beetroot red. He tried unsuccessfully to cover up his own erection with his bed sheet, and to shield Magnus' modesty with his body.
"Oh my god," Chris said, shock and disgust present in his voice. "What the hell were you doing?"
"Get the fuck out of of my room Chris!" Alec yelled, pleased that for once he did not stumble over his words. He was mortified.
Chris covered his eyes with his hands, muttering that he would never un-see what he had just seen.
"Get OUT!" Alec yelled again, causing Isabelle to come rushing into his bedroom.
"Fantastic," Alec muttered under his breath. "Get Jace in too, why don't we all have a fucking party with all of us in here."
"What's happening?" Isabelle asked. "You shouted?" She looked confused, carefully only looking at Magnus or Alec's face. Alec could see she was trying not to giggle behind her carefully guarded expression.
"Go away!" Alec said again, sternly. "Can't you see this isn't the best time?!"
Magnus didn't move through all this commotion. Alec passed him over a sheet, which he placed over himself, but otherwise, did not move or say anything.
As Isabelle shrugged apologetically and walked out of Alec's bedroom, Chris remained standing there, muttering under his breath.
"Chris. Get. The. Fuck. Out." Alec began to say, his voice increasing in volume with every word.
"Calm down Alec," he interrupted. "Believe me, I didn't intentionally walk in on you… doing… that." He shuddered.
Alec stared at him. "What is it then?" he eventually asked.
"Phone call for you. In the living room." Chris walked out, closing the door behind him.
Alec fell down back onto the bed, placing his hands over his face. He didn't know if he was blushing because he was embarrassed or because he was angry.
Magnus rolled over to face him. "Are you okey?" he asked, trying to pry Alec's hands away from his face.
"No," Alec said, refusing to move his hands.
Magnus did not try anything else, until Alec was ready. He eventually moved his hands away, and turned over so that he and Magnus were face to face.
"I guess I should have locked the door last night huh?" Magnus said, trying not to laugh.
"Hmm. Yeah, maybe," Alec replied.
Magnus kissed the end of Alec's nose. "Do you want to continue where we were…or do you need to get that phone call Chris came in to tell you about?"
Alec nodded, and stood up, putting on a t-shirt as he left his room, the mood of the morning definitely ruined. He walked into the living room and over to where the phone sat. It was hung up in it's cradle.
"I thought you said the phone was for me?" Alec asked Chris.
Chris didn't look at him. "It was, but you never came to get it. I told them that you were busy."
Alec's stomach jumped. "Who was it?" he asked, already knowing the answer.
"Your mum," Chris looked up at him now, glee in his eyes. "Your parents are coming over tonight after Isabelle gets out of work. I think we are getting Indian for dinner. Or maybe it was pizza."
"What did you tell them Chris?" Alec asked, his voice quavering slightly.
"Don't worry, I didn't tell them that I walked in on you with someone else's dick in your mouth, if that's what you mean."
Alec winced.
"I only told them the truth. They wanted you to meet Mr and Mrs Branwell's daughter. Apparently she is a lovely girl and beautiful too - just the kind of girl they expect you to be with in fact… I told them that your lover boy from America was here so you may be indisposed. They weren't too happy to hear that, so they said they would be here tonight at 7pm to see you."
Alec stared at him, open mouthed. "What?" was all he could manage to get out. "Why would you do that Chris?"
"Is it a secret? You and him?" Chris asked gesturing towards Alec's bedroom and looking Alec directly in the eyes. He genuinely looked curious.
Alec didn't answer, and turned around walking away from Chris back into his bedroom. He locked the door behind him, and ignored Magnus' concerns as he went into his bathroom. He splashed water on his face, before staring at himself in the mirror. He looked scared. He supposed he was.
"Alec," Magnus said quietly, knocking on the bathroom door. "Is everything okey? What was your phone call about?"
Alec took a few deep breaths before opening the door. Magnus had put on one of Alec's t-shirts that was lying on the floor next to his bed. It was a plain black shirt, with a grey triangle in the centre of it. Even in the plain clothing, Magnus looked stunning.
Alec shook his head, not even knowing where to begin.
"Come here," Magnus said, gently pulling Alec into his arms. They moved over to the bed, and sat on the edge together, still embracing.
"Chris," Alec began quietly. "He is such an arsehole!"
Magnus agreed with that statement, but didn't say anything. He waited until Alec was ready to talk, and until then, he was happy to sit and hold him.
"My parents called," Alec said slowly. "When I didn't go out to speak to them… Chris, he… he took the liberty to tell them… about…"
"Me," Magnus finished, in a quiet voice. "I am sorry that I am causing you so much pain Alexander."
"No!" Alec exclaimed. "No, Magnus, it is not you; it's Chris! He just… he just doesn't agree with me being with you… He has always had it in for me."
"What did your parents say?" Magnus asked.
Alec shrugged. "It was Chris that spoke with them. They are coming over here tonight though. Do you…" Alec took a deep breath. "Do you want to meet them?"
Magnus stared back at the blue eyed man before him. "Yes, I do," he answered sincerely.

Alec and Magnus got dressed quickly after that, and headed outside. Alec was annoyed with what had happened that morning, and even more annoyed that it was putting a downer on their day together. He tried to forget about Chris and about his parents, and tried to focus and enjoy the day with Magnus. He could worry about his parents later that evening.
The two men walked down by the river, and Alec pointed out to Magnus his favourite places that he liked to go and run.
"What is it about running that you love so much?" Magnus enquired, genuinely interested. Magnus didn't do much physical activity, and was just lucky that he could eat what he liked and maintain his slender body shape.
Alec thought for a moment. "I love the exhilaration that it gives me. I enjoy running both to get away from my thoughts, and to hear them more clearly. It's something that I can always do, and I guess I like the control that I have over it. It just belongs to me, and no one else." He blushed a little. "It sounds silly saying that out loud."
"Not at all Alexander," Magnus smiled, reaching for his hand. Alec did not pull away.
"Let's go in here," Alec said, pointing to a small pub on the river. "They serve a really nice breakfast. Are you hungry?"
"Starving," Magnus admitted, laughing a little.
They went into the restaurant and sat down at a small table near the window. They had a lovely view of the path running parallel to the river. The small path was mainly occupied with people pushing prams, walking dogs, or elderly couples. There was an occasional runner, and an even more infrequent cyclist. Magnus loved this view of London; hidden back roads, rivers and walkways… it was more rural than he ever could have imagined.
"I will have the full English please," Alec said to the waiter when he came over. "With tea as well thanks."
"The same for me thank you," Magnus smiled at the waiter.
"So," Alec began after the waiter had moved away from their table. "What do you fancy doing today?"
"Anything," the older man replied. "I would be happy just to sit in your house and chat, and maybe undress you a little…"
Alec laughed. Could they? Chris was working today with Isabelle, so the apartment should be empty, unless Jace was home… He just smiled back at Magnus, and they chatted about this and that, just enjoying their time together. Their breakfasts arrived, and after finishing, both men were full of food.
"I could sleep for a week now," Alec said. "I guess we won't need lunch today."
Magnus laughed, and went to pay the bill.
"No!" Alec protested. "I want to. You are my guest, so I want to treat you."
"There is no need Alec, I have plenty of, erm…" Magnus stared at the money in his hands. "Pounds?" he said unsure, beginning to laugh.
"I insist." And Alec went to pay for their breakfasts.
Magnus put away his foreign money, and gazed at Alec who was taking his change from the waiter and smiled. He thought that he could get used to visiting London a lot more frequently in the future.
