Magnus Pov- The next morning Alec got up and dressed and I watched him trying to find the cute way he normally looked when he wakes up early. Alec isn't a morning person at all and he normally whines when I wake him up early but today he woke up on his own and was acting as if he gets up earlier than this, every day.

He must have not noticed I was awake, Should I mock the way he gets when he wakes up, it could be funny. Once I made up my mind I closed my eyes and tiredly moaned "Alexander?" I sat up and yawned tiredly always my favorite thing Alec did.

He looked at me and sat down putting his hand on mine. His eyes were full of focus I have never seen come from those beautiful blue eyes. "What Mag?" I gave him a confused look, I thought we were done trying to nick name me. "What are you doing up so early? You're never up before me."

He shrugged and crawled closer to me sitting in my lap. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his waist as he wrapped his around my neck. Now this was my Alec. "Will you do something for me?" he asked softly pressing his forehead to mine. I smiled looking into his eyes "Anything." I would do anything Alec asked me.

He hesitated before asking "will you go with me to talk to my parents?" I looked at him shocked I'll do anything but that. "I don't know if that's a good idea Alec." He frowned "why not?"

I sighed "Last time I went with you everything went bad. I don't think I should." "Magnus come on I can't do this alone. I need to talk to my parents and I really need your support."

I thought this was all settled. What will seeing his parents really do? I watched his eyes for a moment searching them before sighing and nodding "I'll go with you."

He smiled and kissed me softly "Thank you." I smiled and ran my fingers into his hair "are you going to thank me properly?" he smiled and cupped my face in his hands leaning down to kiss me. As he did my phone went off to my favorite song Gay Boyfriend. Alec laughed and shook my head getting off my lap "I'm not surprised you have that as your ringtone. Answer it"

'But… you helped me pick it out' I thought before sighing and leaned down to my jeans on the floor. I picked them up taking my phone out of the pocket and answering it. "Yes Camille" I answered with a sigh.

"Hey Maggie are you up for the mall?" She asked happily.

I glanced at Alec who went into the bathroom; I was thinking that I wasn't quite ready to see his parents yet. "Sure I'll meet you in twenty minutes." "Okay, see you then." She said before hanging up.

I hung up as Alec came back into the room. "What did Camille want" he asked; sitting next to me. I smiled "Camille wants to go shopping. Can we go please?"

He sighed and nodded "Sure but don't try to dress me up." I huffed and crossed my arms across my chest "No fun… I won't dress you up but I can't make any promises for Camille."

He sighed and got up again throwing me some clothes smiling "Just get dressed idiot." I smiled and grabbed my favorite black tang top, rainbow skinny jeans and a purple hooded jacket before he could notice and I got up and dressed. "I didn't throw those clothes to you" he protested angrily and I smiled grabbing his hand "I know. Let's get going Camille doesn't like to be kept waiting." he sighed and nodded before going with me entwining our fingers.

When we got to the mall Camille ran up to me hugging Alec tight "Al you joined us." He blinked confused "Didn't you want me to come?" She smiled "I only invited Maggie but I'm super happy you're here too."

He frowned and looked at me "You lied to me." I smiled "I just really want to go shopping with my best friend and my boyfriend." He looked at me with accusing eyes before mumbling "Fine…"

Camille smiled and grabbed his hand dragging him into a Hot Topic. Alec looked around with a slight look of horror in his eyes, it was like he never been here before.

Camille dragged him to the back and grabbed some clothes before pulling him into the dressing room with her. I sighed and looked around picking out some new jeans and a nice shirt. After I bought them I put my ear on the door listening to make sure she was going easy on my blued eyed cutie.

Through all the protesting I could only hear the words "Alexander Lightwood; take off your pants and put on these skinny jeans." I put my hand over my mouth trying not to laugh. My poor Alec what is she doing to you?

When they were done Camille pushed Alec out of the dressing room and he was wearing a Black T-shirt that said 'Stay strong and Yaoi on' and he had on black skinny jeans that made his ass look great. "Wow you look hot."

He blushed but it wasn't his cute nervous blush, it was a frustrated embarrassed blush. Camille came out and smiled "isn't he cute? Now we need to go to the hair salon." Alec frowned and looked at her "Hair salon?"

I frowned watching him. Alec hated the mall and that never changed but Alec liked to go to the salon. It was the only thing he never objected to because he can get his hair trimmed since he doesn't like it getting to long.

"Al you love the Hair salon" Camille protested.

He frowned and thought for a minute before nodding "Okay lets' go." Camille smiled and dragged him back to the dressing room to change. I went to the hallway and sat in a chair putting my hands through my freshly gelled hair. "What is up with him?"

A few hours later we left Camille and ended up in front of Alec's parents' house. I glanced at Alec who was wearing a black shirt that said Radioactive on it, black jeans, and his hair had red streaks in it. Camille finally got him to get the streaks.

"You look great don't worry about it" I said grabbing his hand. He looked at me and nodded before knocking on the door with his free Hand. Robert answered the door and glared. "Who's at the door dear" I heard Alecs' mother ask from inside.

His dad didn't answer; he just stared at Alec. "Dad… Can't we come in? I really want to talk to you and mom?" "We have nothing to talk about with you or him" He said going to shut the door but I grabbed it stopping him. "Just hear him out will you? He's your son at least you can do is listen."

He glared at me before opening the door and walking back into the house. Alec sighed slightly and squeezed my hand before going inside with me. This is already turning out to be like last time.

We walked into the kitchen where his mom was cooking dinner. She looked back at us losing the smile that was on her face before. "Hello mom" Alec said softly. She just turned and went back to making dinner not saying a word. I glared at her getting irritated; I really hate these people. Why is Alec doing this to himself again?

"If you have something to say; just say it for you can get out." Robert said sitting in his chair he seems to always be in when I come here. We went into the living room and Alec sat on the couch breathing calmly. I sat next to him and put my hand on his knee squeezing it not sure what else I could do for him.

"I want to know why you're so against Magnus and I being together. Is being gay really so bad" he asked softly. I frowned watching him wishing I could take his pain away. His father said nothing and I could tell it was taking a toll on Alec.

Alec frowned and looked down standing up "I need to go to the bathroom… excuse me" he said before going into the hallway. His father looked at him then looked back at me "You ruined him you know?"

I glared at him "What is that supposed to mean?" He shrugged and pulled out a newspaper reading it like I wasn't worth his time. Oh if I could control fire I would catch him and that paper ablaze. "What do you mean?" I asked again glaring.

He sighed and folded up his paper all nice and neat. "My son sinned because he got consumed by the devil. That devil is Jonathan. My son was weak to the temptations of sin. I could have healed him, I could have fixed him but instead he found you and is continuing to live this sin."

I stood up clenching my fist. "Alec doesn't need cleansed or fixed he is Alec. He is your son and if you don't want to know who he really is then you're missing out." Robert stood up and got in my face getting ready to spout more garbage but when he glanced to the side he turned quickly and went down the hall yelling "Maxwell! Get away from him!"

I followed him down the hall and I frowned seeing Alec clinging to dear life to his brother while Robert tried to pull him away. "No please just let me see him. I have to see my brother" Alec cried looking up at him.

His father did one huge tug yanking Max out of Alecs' arms and he took him back to his room. Alec put his face in his hands as I walked up to him. I should have never let him do this, this family is too broken.

"Alexander we need to leave now… it's too much for you" He shook his head no; his body shaking all over. I went to beg him but his dad came back and pulled him off the floor. "Get the hell out of here now! We don't need you corrupting your brother's mind with sinful thoughts!"

Alec glared at him "Is that what you think? That my gayness will rub off on him? I'm not leaving without fixing things between us; between all of us!" Robert glared before smacking him across the face with all his might. Alec got wide eyed frozen in fear.

Robert raised his hand to do it again but I grabbed his wrist gripping it tightly. "Mr. Lightwood; lay another hand on him and I will personally put you in the hospital." Alec looked at me with a shocked expression and Robert tried to pull away. "Let me go!"

I couldn't let go though, I have already lost it. "Apologize to Alec right now. He is your son and this nonsense has to stop now." Alec touched his cheek before slowly standing up "Let him go Magnus… Let's get out of here."

I looked at Alec frowning not being done with this guy but I did what my lover said and let Robert go. I grabbed Alec's hand before pulling him out of the house. Robert rushed to the door and yelled "And don't come back!" before slamming the door shut.

I looked at Alec who was looking at the door frowning. He turned his attention to me before clinging to me balling his eyes out. I held him tight until he calmed down. When he pulled away I looked around for a taxi "Lets' go back to my place." Alec shook his head slightly "No… I want to go home."

I know he's talking about his apartment but the way he said home… it was like it had a whole other meaning. "Do you want a ride home?" He just shook his head and kissed me softly before turning his back to me and walking away.

Jace Pov- Isabelle looked at the stairs like she did every two seconds since Alec came home. "Maybe we should make sure he's okay" She said again frowning. Sighing I shook my head "Izzy he wants time alone." She thought before standing up "I know I'll make Lasagna; Alec loves my Lasagna." She smiled and went to start cooking. I watched her before glancing at the stairs.

Going against my own advice I sighed and went upstairs going to check on him. I knocked on his door and pressed my ear to his door. "Alec its dinner time please come out. Izzy made lasagna" Dinner wasn't even started yet but I want to try to get him out of this room.

There was a long silence before he said "Why would I ever eat anything she would make? In fact, why would you? You hate her cooking." what in the hell has gotten into him?

"Umm… dude; what are you talking about? We love Izzys' cooking" I heard him sigh "I don't believe you"

Okay that's it. I took a paper clip out on my pocket before starting to fettle with the lock. A few seconds later it was unlocked and I opened the door storming in. "I have been picking your lock for years. What made you think locking your door would be enough?"

"Just leave me alone Jace" He protested but I just shook my head and sat next to him. "Come on Al talk to me. Did Magnus and you break up or get in a fight?" He frowned and shook his head no. "No… I went to see our parents and they were so… so hateful."

I frowned and hugged him "I know man. I'm so sorry they treat you that way. Mom loves you but she's too afraid to act against dad." He shook his head and pulled away from me "I rather deal with Jonathan and all those demon Shadowhunters then deal with our parents."

Demon what? "Look I know Jonathans an ass but what's with the whole demon stuff you keep bringing up?" He shook his head "Just forget about it." I leaned on the wall "You have been acting weird ever since we went to the subway the other day and you fell and hit your head."

He looked at me shocked "Wait what? We went to the subway?" I nodded and felt his forehead "Seriously are you okay? Yes, we went to the subway and were walking the rails and you fell and hit your head."

he stood up grabbing his jacket "I'm leaving." I was confused but stood up anyway "I'll go with you." he shook his head "No you stay here this is something I have to do on my own"

He ran to the window and opened it before jumping out. I gasped and ran to the window seeing he landed on his feet and started running "Are you Crazy!" I yelled.
