Chapter 12-
Time To Dance
*~********~*~********~* Alec-Alec-Alec-Alec-Alec *~********~*~********~*Okay…
It's fine…no big deal…
You're just dropping by casually…he told you you should…
It's fine…
I-
"Hey Detective Lightwood!"
Alec startled, quickly looking around, spotting one of the twins near the door of the club,
"Oh, uh…h-hey…"
He smiled,
"Gage…"
Alec nodded quickly,
"Sorry, it's kinda hard to tell you guys apart."
He chuckled, waving him off,
"It's fine, even our parents get us mixed up sometimes. You coming in?"
Alec started to shake his head but settled on a shrug,
"Umm…well…Magnus said the other day that I should stop by sometime. This isn't really my kind of thing but Izzy and Jace talk about this place all the time, figured I should see what it's all about…" he hesitated,
"Is Magnus here tonight?"
Gage chuckled, giving a slight nod, going to pull the door open, Alec shook his head quickly, glancing over at the line of people waiting,
"Oh umm…it's okay I can wait in line. I don't want you to get in trouble your first week on the job."
Gage laughed, rolling his eyes, waving him off with an amused smile,
"Yeah, neither do I…Which is exactly why I'm not making the guy dating my new boss wait in line."
Alec swallowed, blushing faintly, shaking his head,
"Uh…yeah…about that…we're not umm…"
Gage tilted his head,
"Telling people? Is it because of your job? I mean I know cops can kinda be jackasses about this kind of thing…
Uh…no offense."
Alec gave a surprised laugh, shaking his head,
"None taken, and no, nothing like that…" he trailed off, sighing, giving a slight shrug,
"When Magnus said that the other day he was just kind of helping me out cause I didn't really know what to say to your brother-
Umm…also no offense, he really does seem great, I'm just n-"
He chuckled, shaking his head,
"No problem, he's not your type, I get it. We're adults; we understand that, no harm, no foul.
So…you and Magnus aren't actually together yet?"
Alec shook his head,
"No, so like I said I'll just wait in line a…
Yet?"
Gage rolled his eyes, shaking his head,
"Dude, come on. It is SO obvious that's where you two are headed. And if that's the case and this IS the first time you're coming to see him here no way in hell I'm sending you to the back of the line, risking you leaving, I'd be fired for sure."
Alec shook his head,
"Magnus wou-"
He scoffed,
"The hell he wouldn't.
I've seen the way he looks at you, probably anyone who's seen you together sees it…Ryder would've too, but he kinda has blinders when hot guys are involved.
You can say 'he was just helping you out' all you want but that wasn't an act. He was jealous, and he did NOT like the idea of another dude hitting on you.
When he said you were taken, he meant it."
Man…I wish…
Alec blushed brightly, shaking his head,
"I…I think you're reading too much into it…he's probably just a good actor."
Gage snorted, rolling his eyes, pulling the door open,
"Yeah, yeah…keep telling yourself that detective. Here, go right on in, he's in the VIP section. hang a right at the bar, the stairs are on the left, Ryder's over there, I'll call in and let him know you're coming, he'll let you up no problem." he smirked, flashing a quick, cheeky wink,
"Have fun detective."
Alec huffed faintly,
"It's not…that's n…I'm n…
Thanks…" he mumbled, fighting off a faint blush, slipping through the door. He's immediately bombarded with loud, thumping music, bright flashing lights, and a seemingly absurd amount of people.
Good lord…
It's a Wednesday night!
He can't imagine it on the weekend.
Just the thought sent a shiver down his spine; it was just WAY too much. He really did not get the appeal of these kinds of places. It was far too much…
Too much everything:
Too many people, too loud, too chaotic, too wild, too carnal, too brazen, too many people
(Yeah he said people twice but there were enough that it bears repeating)
Give him a relaxed, low key, welcoming, pub/cop bar type place with a simple glass of beer or whisky over this chaotic, hormone infused insanity any day…
And wow…did that make him sound old…
It seemed like the follow up thought should be complaining about these young kids taste in music
Though the music was pretty hor-
Okay we're just gonna stop right there…he's like half a step away from grumbling about kids staying off his lawn…
He shook his head, trying to get his bearings in the insanity.
Alright…Gage said Magnus was in the VIP section, it was past the bar. Spotting the bar near the right hand side of the club he made his way through the throng of people, leaving a wide berth between him and the dance floor which was absolutely packed.
He moved around the bar, shaking his head faintly at the chaos surrounding that area as well…
Suddenly the name of the club made perfect sense.
He made a right, spotting the stairs; their definitely was no missing them. They were oddly illuminated, the colors shimmering and shifting through the color spectrum. It was oddly soothing. He moved towards them hesitantly, quirking his eyebrow at the violet velvet rope blocking them…
He couldn't fight off a bit of a chuckle at that...
Yeah this was definitely Magnus's place…
"Oh, hey Detective!"
Alec glanced over smiling,
"Hi Ryder. How's the new job going?"
He beamed,
"It's really great, SO much better than any of our old jobs…a lot more fun too. Can you believe this place?"
Alec chuckled, shaking his head,
"No…I really can't…honestly it's not really my kind of atmosphere, I feel a bit out of place here."
He grinned, giving a slight nod,
"Yeah I get that…it doesn't really seem like it would be…oh uh…no offense."
Alec shook his head,
"No you're absolutely right…it's just a lot."
He nodded,
"Yeah, it's really great that you'd come here anyways…I think it'll mean a lot to Magnus."
Alec blushed faintly, shrugging,
"Well…he said the other day that I should come by, figure I should at least give it a chance."
Ryder smiled, before hesitating,
"That's really great…and umm…about the other day, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, I re-"
Alec shook his head, waving him off.
"Hey, it's no problem, it's a compliment." he paused, glancing around, shrugging,
"Besides going by this place it's not like it'll be hard for you to find someone."
He chuckled, nodding quickly,
"I know…it's kinda overwhelming."
Alec laughed,
"Yeah I could definitely see that…glad it all worked out for you guys."
He smiled, reaching over, unlatching the rope,
"Me too, thanks so much. Here, you can go right up. Magnus's in his booth, on the left, it's kinda hard to miss."
Alec smiled, nodding,
"Thanks Ryder, Have a good night."
He smiled once more, making his way up the stairs.
Well, at least up here it wasn't quite as crowded and the music didn't seem so blaringly loud. It was easier to see too, wasn't quite as dark and there wasn't the chaotic light show going on…
Which maybe wasn't such a great thing after all…
Wow…
Everyone here is unsettlingly attractive.
It looks like he just stumbled into some kind of elaborate photo shoot or movie set. Every last person here is absolutely gorgeous, dressed to the nines, every single detail meant to be eye-catching and enticing…
And of course the most eye-catching of all is Magnus Bane.
He catches sight of Magnus setting right in the center of some kind of long elegant deep violet curved leather booth. Magnus is smiling and relaxed, he looks totally at home, and even more gorgeous than usual.
Yeah…this is definitely his 'natural element'…
His hair is in some amazing, chaotic style that Alec could never even begin to attempt, a faint iridescent something or other catching in the light when he moves, gorgeous deep brown eyes accented by thick, exaggeratedly sharp eyeliner. There's a faint bit of shimmer along his cheekbones and on his lips which are a few shades brighter than usual and mind-numbingly distracting.
He has his normal assortment of jewelry, several necklaces, rings sparkling, catching in the light, and that damn dragon earcuff thing that is worryingly sexy,
What IS it with that thing?
He's wearing skintight black leather pants, a deep, nearly black, violet silk shirt, far more than halfway open, showing off the necklaces, along with a truly distracting amount of his chest…and abs…
Alec gulped.
Damn…
Being that gorgeous should be illegal…it's just not fair
How is someone even supposed to function when faced with that?
Alec shakes his head, trying to snap out of it, taking in everything that isn't Magnus…Which is pretty hard to do as his eyes keep getting pulled back.
Magnus is absolutely surrounded by uncomfortably beautiful people, crowding in, all clearly clamoring for his attention, practically fawning over him. Smiling, flirting, leaning just a bit closer…
Alec gulped, glancing down at his kind of older worn blue jeans and the leather jacket he's had since he was in academy…
Okay…the twins probably shouldn't have let him in…
He sees a couple people looking him over curiously…probably wondering how he got up here in the first place…
He kinda wondered that himself…
This was probably a bad idea.
He should just le-
Then his brain kind of stops, Magnus glances over, spotting him. He freezes, blinking a couple times in surprise, before breaking out in a brilliant smile.
He stands up, cutting off one of the hangers on mid sentence, the guy blinking in confusion, glancing around, clearly not sure what just happened. Magnus moves quickly across the room, eyes slowly slipping over Alec much like the first time they met.
Alec fought off the urge to fidget with his jacket, swallowing nervously. Magnus smirked when he got closer, quirking his eyebrow,
"Well, well…this is a different look…" he purred, slipping close,
Alec blushed, shrugging faintly,
"Yeah…I really had no idea what to wear for an actual club. This was the closest I had to 'club wear'."
Magnus swallowed, shaking his head, eyes slipping over Alec once more, doing that flashing, flickering thing that made Alec breathless and lightheaded,
"Mmm…believe me gorgeous this is more than alright."
He slipped closer, reaching up, resting his hand on Alec's shoulder, squeezing, tugging him a bit closer, trailing down his arm, eyes sliding over him once more before moving up, meeting his gaze, giving a breathtakingly excited smile,
"I am so glad you decided to come by Alexander."
"I…wha…umm…" Alec trailed off, swallowing, blushing faintly, trying to regain his ability to speak.
He took a deep breath, shrugging, starting again.
"W-well…you did tell me I should come by here and see you in your 'natural element'."
Magnus chuckled, nodding,
"I did, but I never thought you actually would."
Alec hesitated, a bit unsure,
"Umm…but you're okay with it right?"
Magnus gave a delighted laugh, rolling his eyes affectionately,
"Of course I am gorgeous! It's a surprise, absolutely, but an utterly magnificent one."
Alec relaxed faintly, blushing,
"Good…" he paused, the relief making him a bit giddy, he quirked his eyebrow playfully,
"Though you know having a cop hanging around your club may not have the best effect on morale. Isn't that like the club equivalent of having a parent barge into your party, busting into their old dance moves?"
Magnus laughed, shaking his head,
"Not when the cop looks like this." He murmured,
Magnus tilted his head, eyes catching, shimmering bright in the lights of the club, doing that dizzying, flashing thing. He reached up, resting his hand on Alec's shoulder, squeezing before trailing down his chest, he made a soft sound that was some kind of mix of a purr and a growl,
Alec swallowed,
Damn…he really needed to hear that sound again…
Like as much as possible…
"Mmm…I really do love this jacket on you…and the jeans." he made that pretty sound again, quirking his eyebrow, giving a mischievous little smirk,
"You know, if you started to dress like this for work it'd probably be a hell of a lot easier to catch criminals. One look at you and they'd probably turn themselves in...
Though it might backfire."
Don't ask…
Don't...
Alec sighed,
"How would it backfire?"
Magnus shrugged,
"You're liable to have people commit a crime just to get to be arrested by you."
Alec chuckled, rolling his eyes,
"Right, like that'd happen…"
Magnus smirked, quirking his eyebrow,
"Really? I was totally…well…I don't think I can say 'innocent' with a straight face, but I had nothing to do with the case, I happily let you arrest me…"
Alec gave a surprised laugh, smirking, slipping closer,
"You let me?"
He gave a low chuckle that had Alec's heart rate picking up a few ticks, giving an impish grin, shrugging.
"Sweetheart come on…one call to Lucian and I'd of been in the clear, I didn't have to go with you…
I wanted to…" he paused, giving a playfully exaggerated pout,
"Though I am still disappointed in the lack of handcuffs or strip searches."
Alec laughed, rolling his eyes, blushing,
"You're never gonna let that go, are you?"
Magnus grinned impishly, shaking his head, settling closer,
"Not a chance gorgeous. Now come along, I don't know if I'll get you in here again; have to make the most of it while I can. Let me show you around." he reached over, catching Alec's hand, tugging him towards the railing to a spot overlooking the dance floor.
He glanced over, settling close to Alec's side, gesturing out over the bustling throng of people,
"So, what do you think of my place?"
Alec gave a slightly disbelieving huff of a laugh, shaking his head,
"I've never been somewhere more aptly named." he muttered before startling, glancing over apologetically,
"Oh, sorry, th-"
Magnus chuckled, shaking his head,
"No need to apologize darling…I take it this isn't really your kind of place?"
Alec blushed, shaking his head slightly,
"Well…it's just a bit out of my wheelhouse. People really seem to love it though. I can't believe how busy it is…"
Magnus shrugged dismissively, glancing around,
"Actually this is rather slow…it's still pretty early though, usually we don't hit the busiest part of the night till around midnight or so."
Alec blinked, shaking his head slightly,
"Okay, now I get what you meant when you said you have no competition."
Magnus gave a surprised laugh, eyes sparkling bright,
"Hey…it's not bragging if it's the truth…"
Alec laughed,
"Izzy says the same thing."
Magnus nodded,
"Knew I liked that girl." he paused, glancing over, giving a soft, very real, smile,
"Thank you for coming, even if it's not really your speed…though I am a bit puzzled as to why you would if you don't really like clubs."
Alec shrugged,
"I was curious…Jace and Izzy have tried to get me to come out with them but I end up getting irritated…it just always seems like far too much…
Too many people, too loud, too chaotic…
Just too much…" he sighed, giving a sheepish shrug,
"I know that kinda makes me sound old, or just painfully boring…not really sure which is worse."
Magnus chuckled, rolling his eyes,
"Gorgeous you are neither…and we all have different tastes…you're most definitely right; it is a lot…almost a sensory overload at times…
I'm more than used to it but I can understand it being overwhelming to others not so accustomed. Which makes it mean all the more that you would actually brave all of this just because I invited you." he squeezed Alec's hand, tugging him a bit closer.
Alec shrugged, settling in next to him,
"Well, like I said, I've never really got the appeal of these kinds of places, but I can tell how much it means to you. I figured I should at least give it a chance. Can't really know if you'll like something if you don't at least try to give it a chance right?"
Magnus perked up, eyes sparkling, looking over at him excitedly,
"So…does that mean you'll give me a chance to show you the 'appeal' of my club?"
Alec chuckled, shrugging, giving a slight nod,
"I'm not gonna make any promises…like I said generally this kinda thing is just way too much for me, but yeah, go ahead,
Convince me."
Magnus's eyes brightened, sparking full of challenge and mischief, giving a delighted laugh. He made that growling, purring kinda sound again, smirking,
"Careful gorgeous…that almost sounds like a challenge…"
Alec gulped, kind of wondering if he'd regret this…
Not that there was much of anything he wouldn't happily face for a chance to see that look again…
Alec took a deep breath, shrugging, meeting his gaze, quirking his eyebrow,
"Maybe because it was."
Magnus froze for a moment, a look of shock on his face before snapping out of it, tilting his head, giving a soft, low, thoroughly distracting chuckle,
"Mmm…wonderful, guess that means you're all mine for tonight."
I'm yours for as long as you want…
Alec swallowed, shrugging,
"Guess I am."
Magnus's eyes flashed again, head tilting slightly, something dizzying and intoxicating passing behind those impossibly dark eyes,
"Wonderful…let's get started gorgeous."
He slipped closer, eyes sliding over Alec once more, reaching up, resting his hands on Alec's shoulders, before slipping over, catching the zipper on his jacket, tugging it down,
Alec startled, blushing faintly,
"W-what are you doing? I thought you said you liked my jacket?"
Magnus chuckled,
"I do gorgeous…very much…but in a busy club you will be burning up in a matter of minutes…much as I like the jacket, it's really not going to do much to help my case for the club."
He continued working the zipper down, moving his hands back up, slipping it off his shoulders, leaving Alec in a fairly thin, plain black short sleeved shirt.
Alec groaned internally,
Oh great, now he's even more underdressed for this place…
He could just imagine what Mag-
"Wow…"
Alec startled, glancing up in surprise. Magnus's eyes were wide, roving from Alec's shoulders over his chest and arms, mouth open slightly…and…w-was he…
No way…
Was Magnus actually blushing?
Alec shook the idea away, it had to of been a trick of the light. He shrugged, brushing his hair back self-consciously,
"Umm…l-like I said…I really don't have much of anything for these kinds of places…this was the best I could do, sorry…"
Magnus blinked, shaking his head, swallowing,
"No need to apologize gorgeous…" he paused, eyes lingering on Alec's arms, cheeks coloring faintly,
"Absolutely none…" he muttered, shaking his head again,
Alec swallowed, not really knowing how to process that because he knew what it seemed like and yeah Magnus flirted-like an insane amount- but this seemed different…almost seemed…
He quickly shook the thought away. He was probably reading too much into it anyways.
Alec gave a slight shrug,
"So weren't you going to show me around? You know, try to get me to see the 'appeal' of all this insanity?"
Magnus seemed to startle slightly, snapping out of it, instantly back to his bright, confidant self.
Alec couldn't deny he envied that a bit.
Magnus nodded, eyes sparking bright and excited,
"Oh I most definitely will, my darling detective. I promise you'll get the appeal before the nights up."
Alec laughed, shrugging,
"I don't know…my siblings have been trying to get me to see it for nearly a decade, no luck so far."
Magnus smirked,
"Mmm…I do so love a challenge." he caught Alec's hand, tugging him along tossing the jacket over on the back of the booth, beginning towards the stairs, Alec hesitated, glancing over, Magnus tilted his head in confusion.
"What's wrong darling?"
Alec shrugged,
"Nothing, I just really don't want to lose that jacket, I've had it for quite a while. Are you sure it'll be alright to leave it here?"
Magnus chuckled, waving him off, squeezing his hand,
"Sweetheart this is my place and that is in my seat. Trust me; no one here is stupid enough to touch something of mine. It will be right where we left it when we return…I assure you." he tugged on Alec's hand again,
"No come on darling, I have so much I want to show you…" he turned, smiling nodding to a few people as they made their way through the crowd, leading Alec over and down the stairs, Ryder giving them a bright smile when they reached the bottom of the stairs, quickly unlatching the rope, holding it open for them,
"Oh good, I was hoping he'd find you…Gage let me know he was on his way but still trying to find one person in here is kinda tricky. I mean, you're kinda hard to miss up there but it was a lot of people."
Magnus paused, quirking his eyebrow at Ryder,
"So, Gage let you know he was here and you didn't think to tell me?"
He froze,
"U-umm…well…I…I kinda thought it'd be a nice surprise?" he finished nervously, giving a slight shrug,
Magnus gave a bright smile, nodding,
"You where most definitely right darling, thank you."
Ryder exhaled nodding quickly, relaxing,
Magnus turned from him tugging Alec along towards the bar. Alec chuckled, quirking his eyebrow,
"So was scaring him like that really necessary?"
Magnus shrugged,
"No…but it was kinda fun."
Alec rolled his eyes,
"You didn't just hire them so you could torment them, did you?"
He chuckled, waving him off,
"No darling of course not. I hired them because they were helpful, I got on with them well, and it saved me from the tedium of the interviewing process…
Tormenting them is just a delightful bonus."
Alec chuckled again, rolling his eyes, hesitating when he saw the crowd around the bar, which Magnus seemed set on diving right into. Alec stopped just outside the throng. Magnus looked back curiously,
"What's wrong darling?"
Alec shrugged,
"I really don't want to have to fight through a mob for a drink…"
He tilted his head,
"You're not that big on crowds, hmm?"
Alec shrugged,
"Not really…"
Magnus gave a gentle smile, squeezing his hand,
"Darling, it won't be an issue, I promise." he slipped closer,
"Don't worry detective, I've got you."
You can say that again…
Alec glanced back at the throng of people shouting drink orders before sighing, nodding, looking back at Magnus,
"Okay…I'll trust you."
Magnus beamed, tugging him along, moving towards the bar. The crowd seemed to move out of his way, some nearly stumbling in their haste to get out of his path…
Alec couldn't help a slight chuckle,
Oh right…
It's his place…
And it's Magnus…
About halfway to the front the bartenders noticed him, the pretty girl at the far end with dark curls and darker eyes quirking her eyebrow, he waved her off, moving to the end of the bar, slipping behind the counter, quickly setting to work on a couple drinks.
He grabbed a silver cocktail shaker, pouring in a seemingly random assortment of odd brightly colored things with practiced ease, Alec couldn't even keep track of what exactly he was doing, leaning a bit closer in interest.
Magnus gave the shaker a final shake, reaching over, grabbing two fancy somewhat oversized martini style glasses, pouring the concoction into them quickly, turning back to him with a bit of a flourish, holding one of the brightly colored, faintly shimmery blue violet drinks out to Alec.
He took it, quirking his eyebrow at the brilliant, shimmering radioactive looking drink.
Magnus chuckled, rolling his eyes, resting his hand on Alec's arm, squeezing,
"Darling relax; it won't bite. I promise it's delicious…and you said yourself that you should at least give things a chance."
Well…he kinda had him there,
And he DID brave the throng of people to get it for him, and made it himself no less…
He had to at least give it a chance…
Even if it DID look like radioactive, shimmery mouthwash…
He shrugged, taking a small, hesitant sip…
Alec paused, blinking faintly…
Huh…
Okay…clearly Magnus knows what he's talking about when it comes to drinks.
Magnus gave a beaming smile, squeezing his arm, eyes sparking bright,
"I told you, gorgeous…
Now come on…there's SO much more to show you…" he said excitedly, catching Alec's hand, tugging him away from the bar and right into the busy mess of people.
Alec chuckled, taking another sip of his drink, squeezing Magnus's hand faintly, slipping a bit closer, suddenly feeling less apprehensive and more anticipating, glancing around curiously…
After all…
Magnus had him…
2 hours laterOkay…maybe the drinks were a bit too good…
Really he couldn't think of another plausible explanation for him actually willingly braving the crush of people on the packed dance floor.
Not only braving it but being the one to suggest it…
Yeah, it had to be the drinks…
It couldn't possibly be because of the way Magnus kept glancing over at the dance floor hopefully before shaking it off, moving on to other, less crowded parts of the club…
Or the way he'd kinda hum along with this or that song…
And it couldn't possibly be because of that breathtakingly gorgeous, surprised, oh so hopeful expression he'd got when Alec had asked if he wanted to dance…
Or about how very distracting it was having Magnus pressed up against him…
No…
It's definitely the drinks…
The song changed, something slower, softer, more intimate.
Alec smiled, tugging Magnus a bit closer, nuzzling against his neck, giving a soft hum at the little jump he felt in Magnus's pulse, settling in flush against Alec, swaying slightly,
Magnus turned in his embrace, hands trailing up Alec's chest, arms slipping around Alec's neck, pulling him in, hugging him closer. Alec held him tight, one hand resting on his hip, other trailing up and down his back. Magnus sighed contentedly, nuzzling lightly against his ear, practically melting into the embrace.
He made that pretty, soft, growling purr type sound, this time right by Alec's ear, warm breath against his skin, causing Alec to shiver.
Hmm…
Okay…now he got the appeal…
Magnus pulled back, just enough to meet Alec's eyes,
Oh…wow...
Alec swallowed, trying to catch his breath,
"So, my darling detective…I know this place is literal pandemonium…but will you at least think about coming back sometime?"
Alec swallowed, leaning a bit closer, reaching up, tucking a bit of Magnus's hair behind his ear, trailing down along his cheek,
Magnus's breath caught, he leaned into the touch, eyes doing that breathtaking, dizzying, flashy thing, sparking bright, catching in the shimmering, swirling lights of the club,
Alec swallowed again, nodding,
"How's tomorrow?"
*~********~*~********~* Other-Other-Other-Other-Other *~********~*~********~* (Izzy)"Izzy come here! You have to see this!" Clary exclaimed eyes shimmering bright, rushing over, catching her hand, pulling her to the railing, pointing towards the dance floor.
Izzy chuckled tugging her a bit closer, slipping her arm around her, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek. She settles close, glancing out at the chaotic excitement of the club, shaking her head faintly…
Wow…
It's unbelievable all of this was going on around her and she saw none of it. It's been five days since Clary preformed the sight spell, by now it had pretty much kicked in all the way and…
Just…
WOW…
She had no idea.
Everywhere she looked she saw another amazing, fascinating, never imagined in a million years actually existed, being. There where shimmering fairies, odd beings that had flames flickering, goblins, trolls, gremlins and more. People with wings, tails, scales, fangs, claws, and a hundred other things that she never imagined seeing in real life.
And here…here in this club?
Oh my god…
Apparently when Supernaturals go out to have fun and let their hair down that also included letting their powers run free.
The air was practically filled with shimmering sparkles, iridescent lights, flashes and flickers of every color of the rainbow from the various Magics, demons, Fae and the rest out on the dance floor.
No wonder the place always had the crazy lightshow thing going…
It was probably to cover in case any of the powers were perceptible to the humans in the club.
She shook her head in amazement, trying to figure out what one thing out of the plethora of amazing things Clary was trying to show her, but she kind of came up blank. She chuckled, tugging Clary close against her side, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek.
"You have to be a bit more specific, there's a LOT to see here, kinda hard for me to just notice one."
Clary giggled blushing prettily, with a soft smile, eyes sparkling bright. She turned back to the dance floor, pointing eagerly over to the left hand side.
"See right there? The sparkling violet?"
Izzy tilted her head, zeroing in on the spot. It was easy to pick out, even through all the other powers and shimmers and lights of the club, there was something familiar about it…
Finally it clicked,
"That's Magnus right?"
Clary nodded enthusiastically, settling closer, eyes shimmering,
"Yeah, but look who he's dancing with!"
Izzy looked closer, it was kinda hard to see through all of the shimmers and lights…then there was a break in the swirling dizzying chaos and she could see.
She froze, blinking, eyes wide, shaking her head in disbelief,
"I-is that Alec!?"
Clary giggled excitedly, giving a quick nod,
Oh my god…
Alexander Lightwood was dancing in a club…
That was crazier than anything else she'd seen this week…
She laughed giddily shaking her head once more, leaning against the railing, trying to get a better view, hardly believing her eyes.
Alec HATED clubs; the crowds, the music, the chaotic atmosphere…
All of it…
And yet there he was, out on the dance floor, looking perfectly content to stay there for the rest of the night…
And he was good!
How did she not know he could actually dance?
This was information she needed damnit!
Okay…she needed proof of this…
She reached into her pocket, fishing out her phone, quickly hitting the record button, zooming in on the couple.
Clary tilted her head, leaning closer, looking at the picture…
It was much better like this…With the zoom you could see their expressions. They looked totally lost in each other; as if none of the other people even existed…They looked so happy…
"You sure you should be recording that? Alec's not gonna get mad at you is he? Get the feeling he'd be kinda self conscious about this kinda thing." she murmured softly right by Izzy's ear,
Izzy shook her head, smiling softly,
"No…It's not to tease him, this way he has a copy…It'll be a great congratulations present for whenever they finally figure it out and get together."
Clary gave a soft, happy hum, nodding, slipping her arms around Izzy, pressing a soft kiss just behind her ear. Izzy sighed contentedly, leaning back against her,
"It will be…but I think it could be even better." Clary whispered,
She moved her hand, fingers flickering, a shimmering golden light playing across them, the prismatic sparkle flickering across her skin. The gold shimmer slipped out, curling around one of the speakers.
The current song ended, shifting to something slower, softer…not really club music, far more intimate and romantic.
Alec smiled, pulling Magnus closer, nuzzling against his neck. Magnus smiled, turning, wrapping his arms around Alec, holding him tight. Magnus looked up, meeting Alec's eyes,
Izzy stopped the recording, turning, feeling almost that she was intruding, leaning back against the rail, Clary turning with her, still cuddled up close to her side.
Izzy had to blink slightly at the expression she'd caught on Alec's face,
She had never seen that look…
Swallowing faintly, she shook her head,
"Okay…maybe I'll save it for their wedding gift."
Clary gave a soft breath of a laugh, nodding against Izzy's cheek, pressing one more soft kiss. She gave another contented sigh,
"Don't need any psychic abilities to see that." She smiled softly; trailing her hand down, catching Izzy's, interlacing their fingers, tugging lightly,
"I'm glad they found each other…Magnus more than deserves happiness…and Alec has one of the most wonderful, bright auras I've ever seen…I think they will be wonderful together…absolutely perfect." She paused, eyes flickering faintly,
"Hmm…"
Izzy tilted her head,
"What?"
Clary shrugged, giggling, with a bit of a mysterious smile,
"I think I might know why Magnus's memory spell on Alec didn't work."
Izzy blinked in surprise,
"Why?"
Clary gave a playful shrug, eyes sparkling bright and mischievous,
"I'm not telling."
Izzy sputtered
"What!? Why not?"
Clary giggled again, smirking,
"Where's the fun in that?" She shrugged, reaching over, catching Clary's hand,
"You're brilliant…you'll figure it out." she gave a radiant beaming smile, glancing around, tugging Izzy into a soft, slow kiss.
Izzy tried to stay annoyed but it really was impossible. She hummed happily, wrapping her arms around Clary, tugging her closer, holding her tight. Her breath caught as she felt pleasant warmth enveloping her, suddenly feeling a bit lightheaded, almost like she was floating before a slightly jarring sensation.
She pulled back from the kiss, blinking in confusion, breath catching again. Clary was shimmering bright, that crystal like sparkle to her skin, eyes flickering brilliant like dancing electric green flames…
God she was breathtaking…
Izzy blinked again, glancing around; suddenly there were far more people around them, laughing, smiling, happy and carefree, dancing uninhibitedly, the flickering, shimmering lightshow of power now above their heads…
Izzy laughed, shaking her head, tugging Clary closer, beginning to move with the music, Clarissa falling into perfect sync. She moved gracefully, fluid, the shimmering golden light flickering about her hands, leaving trails in the air, every so often the glittering gold shooting up, intermingling with the rest of the dancing, flashing powers above their heads.
Izzy swallowed, shaking her head in amazement, totally enchanted…
How did she ever get this lucky?
The song ends, switching seamlessly to the next, an oh so familiar intro beginning…
When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Clary looks up, meeting her eyes. Izzy tilted her head, quirking her eyebrow, gesturing towards the speakers. Clary giggles, shaking her head with a faint shrug, slipping closer, beginning to move with the music,
Izzy smiles, catching Clary's hand, tugging her in closer still, nuzzling against her neck, pressing a soft kiss,
"See…I told you this is our song."
The End… …For Now*~********~*~********~* _End Of Chapter Notes_ *~********~*~********~*Yay! Another story complete!
I loved how this went. This was the first story in this series after the beginning trilogy.
I Really loved Izzy and Clary, definitely gonna have to have more of them, and Jace is so very fun to have in the mix. I know there was kinda a lot going on -We basically had three storylines going simultaneously- but I think with this universe that kinda works really well.
Most of the upcoming stories will also have multiple storylines going as well, it just seems to fit here, also I can get more in with fewer stories…
I have SO many ideas for this verse it's not even funny…
I have the rest of this season planned out, most of the next one and I Think even a bit further down the road. I think we're gonna have a lot of fun with this, and a lot of craziness. (Needless to say this isn't ending anytime soon.)
I would eventually like to get started on some of my other verses, and I have the next season of my Psych! It's Magnus verse pretty well planned out, but this verse is just kinda running away with my mind…I will eventually get all the other stuff going too, but right now I'm pretty well focused on this world.
So, what did you guys think?
So the next story in our lineup is 'Hex Games';
When a bizarre string of events hits her school Divya brings in their first client, her favorite teacher- a Gargoyle who protects the school. Magnus is curious and eager to start their first official case. But how can one of the most powerful (And recognizable) Supernaturals in existence subtly investigate at a high school…not like he could just go undercover…
Oh crap…he's totally trying that, isn't he?
Yeah…
They may need a bit of help on this one…
Fortunately Max and Isaac are old hands at dealing with the standard supernatural craziness that is Suncrest High.
I'm really looking forward to this one (And the next…and the one after that…). This should be a lot of fun. I really like Max and his friends, the stories with them in my Psych! It's Magnus verse were some of my favorites, pretty sure that'll carry through here too.
Thanks so much for reading and the comments, I love hearing your thoughts on the series and it really does encourage me to keep writing (Not that I think there's too much that could stop me now that I got a taste for it lol)
You all are amazing!
Thanks again!
