"Can we go to the arcade tonight?" Simon inquired to the group, as they sat down for breakfast- or, Simon guessed, a combination of dinner and lunch, since it was 4 P.M. The gang had gotten in the cycle of sleeping from about 3 A.M to about 3 P.M. All the fun here happens at night, Magnus told them, so they all adjusted their schedules so they could stay out all night and not be tired, while still getting their beauty sleep. Magnus looked at Simon and signed dramatically, taking his hand off Alec's momentarily to bury his head in it with a particular flair that honestly kind of scared Simon.

"Sheldon!" He complained loudly. "We didn't come to Las Vegas to play children's games! We came to engage in only the most entertaining of vice! No one wants to waste our precious time here playing games!"

Alec looked down at his black, torn sneakers. Isabelle mumbled something. Simon looked shocked. "Dude, come on. They're vintage," he protested, only to be cut off by another loud sigh from Magnus and a dramatic chomp of his cereal.

"I think it could be fun," Isabelle said.

"Me too," Alec agreed, not taking his eyes off his sneakers.

Magnus looked appaulled. "Alexander! You're supposed to be on my side!"

Alec just shrugged.

"Okay," Magnus started. "How about this. Tonight, I get to take you all to my favorite club in Vegas. Tomorrow, we'll go to your vintage whatever-it's-called-"

"Arcade."

"Yeah. That. And I won't complain AT ALL and I shall even take on my Alexander in some of the games. Scout's honor. But tonight, I have a place that I want to go. It is a place from my youth-"

"Define youth."

"300 or so. It's been around a while."

"…Fine." Simon agreed. "But tomorrow, we're going to the vintage arcade. No argument."

Magnus agreed.

The club certainly didn't look that old, but apparently it had been around a while, if Magnus was to be believed (Alec was still trying to decide if he was.) The music was blaring, the room packed with bodies moving and swaying to the music that had a beat going thump, thump, thump. "What're we going to do here?" Alec yelled to his boyfriend over the music. "It's packed. I don't see a place we can dance-"

"That's the beauty of it, darling," Magnus smiled lovingly at him. "Everyone dances on the same floor like an array. All the life, all the movement! I love it."

Alec smiled a little smile. It was times like these that he remembered why he loved Magnus so much. While he personally wasn't really into this kind of thing, Magnus was so full of life that it didn't matter what was going on around him. He only cared that Magnus was here, Magnus was here and Magnus was talking to him and Magnus was smiling and Magnus was laughing with him and there was Magnus-

"Darling Alec," Magnus said as quietly as one could be heard over the music, grabbing Alec's hand in his own, "May I have this dance?"

Alec smiled. "Yes."

And then he was lost on the dance floor, his body gyrating against Magnus's, the music seeming to pull them closer to each other like magnets that couldn't help but be attracted to each other, even when Alec knew that in reality it was Magnus's hand around his waist pulling him closer towards him. Only a few months ago, he remembered, he wouldn't have been caught dead doing this, especially this kind of dancing, but now there was Magnus and he loved him so much that he couldn't imagine it any other way. He found himself lost as they grinded together, he found himself gone as he looked into Magnus's happy, smiling face with his cat eyes dialated in pure ecstasy. Alec stopped dancing suddenly.

"Sweet pea?" Magnus looked concerned. "What's wrong?"

"What?"

"You look upset."

"No! Far from it. Magnus, I…" he stopped abruptly.

"What is it?"

"I love you so much, Magnus. I was just thinking about how lucky I am to have you… I don't feel like an insignificant little boy with you, but I feel really special." He smiled. "I never felt important before."

Magnus put his arm around his boyfriend's upper back and pulled him in, tightly.

"Oh, love. I love you too. More than I've ever loved anyone. I love you so, so much."

Alec smiled into the curve of Magnus's shoulder. "You make me so happy."

"God, Jace! By the Angel!" Clary looked both shocked and amused at the same time by Jace's dancing. Simon stood next to her, laughing along with her, as Isabelle attempted to instruct Jace in bettering his dancing skills.

"No, you idiot! Right foot! Other right! Oh, by the ANGEL…" Isabelle made a face of pure exasperation as Jace tripped over his left foot with his right one.

"Whatever," Jace said to his sister. "I'm so attractive, I don't need dancing skills anyway. The girls will come flocking no matter what."

Clary made a face. "You have a girlfriend," she reminded him.

"Love you Clary!" Jace shouted over the music, blowing her a kiss. She smiled a little bit.

"Love you too!"

Isabelle looked annoyed and disgusted at the same time. "Yeah, yeah, we all love each other. Great. Jace, you look like a duck on drugs. Maybe you should stop now. I'm giving up on you, I think you're a hopeless case…"

Jace looked horrified. "Duck? No."

"Uh huh."

"Those… those are evil creatures!"

"Oh, well, that's too bad." Isabelle looked over at the stage where the DJ was playing, watched the DJ pick up a large bag of something. "The giveaway," Isabelle said. "I already know what it is. I, er… someone told me."

"I love giveaways!" Clary interrupted. "I wonder what it is."

Jace watched as Isabelle said something into Clary's ear, and both of them doubled over laughing uncontrollably. Clary then whispered something to Simon, and he joined in the giggles as well.

"What's up?" Jace wanted really badly to know why everyone was laughing.

"Oh, nothing," Isabelle said, and at that moment the music stopped.

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, for the giveaway- I will be throwing these mystery objects to everyone out there. If you catch an item that has an orange dot on the bottom, drinks for you and a partner tonight are on the house!"

The DJ started to throw the objects. Jace looked at the one, now in his hands in shock and horror.

"GET IT AWAY! CLARY! HELP!" He screamed, as more rubber ducks began to pour from the stage and onto the dance floor and a shrieking Jace.

Jem and Tessa looked over at Jace and smiled. It was a small smile, filled with joy and love and also sadness and loss.

"I wish… I wish he were here to see this," Jem said, voicing Tessa's thoughts. Tessa curled her fingers into Jem's forearms and made a sad sighing sound.

"He is James," she whispered. "I can feel it."

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I liked writing this one, especially the Malec scene… sigh. I really want to write more Malec scenes. In any case, I have a lot of Sizzy planned in future chapters, in the arcade (spoiler! The go soon. A couple more clubbing chapters though, and maybe another love scene chapter? What do y'all think?) Anyway, I have this idea that I've been playing with for future chapters and I need someone's help with it. Message me if you're interested in giving me ideas about this specific plot I have for a chapter on PM. Please review for a rubber duck! Love you!
