Hellooooow~

I finally finished my semester and aaaaall my exams and I can finally enjoy life again ;D
I'm sorry it took so long but during finals it's just ... really impossible to concentrate on anything else ... :/

BUT! I'm finally back with a new chapter :) It took a while to get it where I wanted it to go but I finally got an idea so I hope you like it :)))

Emptyabby: Thank you so much :DDDD

BarboraPlow: Thank youuu :))) I was really happy reading about that, I know what you mean. Normally I wait for the last chapter to review but sometimes I just can't help myself ;)

Guest: I knoooooow, I hate myself when I take so long but I just wanna make sure I'm happy with the chapters. Ugh. I hope the next one will be up quicker now that I don't have to study anymore.

So, here we go: ENJOY :D


It was a rather warm day. Summer was finally on it's way over and Alec wasn't so happy about it.
He really couldn't handle the heat that well. He got headaches really often and sometimes he even got a little sick by spending too much time outside.
His best friend didn't mind that much but he luckily agreed on getting a fan for the room, so Alec was currently enjoying the slight breeze that was swinging around every now and then.
He knew it was only fanning around the already warm air but it was still better than nothing.
And like this, he could concentrate on his homework and get some assignments done.
Of course he would've loved to go out like Isabelle did but even Jace had stayed home to get some work done.
So they were both equally surprised, when someone knocked on the door. Isabelle couldn't be back and they both didn't wait for anyone.
Alec looked at Jace, who only shrugged so he got up and opened the door.

Seeing Magnus on his doorstep, Alec immediately wanted to throw the door in his face but the taller boy was obviously quicker than him.
He pushed a hand and a foot against the door and Alec could've cursed.
„Good evening, Alexander." Magnus practically purred, making Alec wanting to throw up.
„Who is it?" he heard Jace call. And yes, for a minute he thought about not saying anything but he decided against it.
„Magnus." he spat out, glaring daggers at the sparkle boy.
Immediately Jace got up from his chair and made his way to the door, beside Alec.
„You're either really stupid or really brave." Jace said then, crossing his arms. „What the hell are you doing here?!"
Magnus smiled. „I know I might seem like I have nothing but trouble in mind-!" „You do." Alec snapped back. „But I really just need to talk to you?"
Jace snorted. „How about no? I think you talked enough." Jup, Alec could agree with that.
Magnus sighed. „I really just need a minute and … I will go on my own again, I promise."
„You can shove your stupid promises right up your ass!" Alec growled. „Because they don't mean shit."
The taller boy really didn't seem to like this much resistance. „Please, Alec? Just a minute."
Jace lifted an eyebrow. „Just say the word, Alec and I punch his sparkly ass into next week."
Magnus just gave Jace a sloppy smile. „You can try."
Jace already made a move but Alec grabbed his arm. „You two can test out your testosterone on the playground." He looked at Magnus. „What do you want, Magnus?"
Magnus looked sideways at Jace, obviously not wanting the blondie around. But Jace didn't seem to want to move at all. And Alec really had no time for this. He sighed deeply. „Jace, it's okay …"
„You sure?" Jace pressed out, not stopping to glare daggers at Magnus.
„Yes I'm sure. I'm really capable of throwing doors shut on my own, I had to do that often enough with Izzy." Alec smiled. „And I can still call you if I have to, okay?"
Jace waited some seconds but then turned and got back to his place. „Fine …"

Alec looked back at Magnus, who gave him a dashing smile, obviously happy about this.
Alec stepped outside and closed the door, crossing his arms. „Spill." he just said then.
Magnus pressed his lips together and for the first time, Alec thought he saw him a little nervous. Well, that was odd?
„Okay so …" Magnus sighed deeply. „I … know a simple ‚sorry' won't cut it here." he started then.
Alec raised an eyebrow. Was Magnus Bane actually trying to apologize to him?
„You're right, it won't." The blue-eyed boy said then, shifting to his other foot.
Magnus sighed deeply and rubbed the back of his neck. „I know, I know … listen, I just … I've been an ass and I'm sorry about that. I guess I did all this really … wrong." Alec opened his mouth to answer to that but Magnus was quicker. „I know! Okay? I just … I came over to say I'm sorry. And since I didn't pick you for the flower or chocolate guy …" He pressed his lips together and then pulled out two tickets.
Alec blinked and then narrowed his eyes. „I already told you: I'm not going on a date with you!" he said angrily. Seriously!? That idiot apologized and just continued in the same way?!
„No! I know that!" Magnus said, rolling his eyes. „You made that really clear …" he muttered then and hold out the tickets to Alec. „It's just an apology. You can take whoever you want."
He pressed his lips together and waited for Alec to take them.

Alec on the other hand, was really confused. Even more as by the apology. He slowly took the tickets and looked at them a little closer for the first time.
His eyes grew wide. „You got tickets for Fall Out Boy?! How the fuck did you do that?!" he asked then, still staring at the tickets.
Magnus pursed his lips. „I had to … pull a few strings?" He waved it off. „Doesn't matter. I just … I noticed you liked a status of them on facebook and I just … I didn't know what kind of music you liked so if you don't like them, I'm sorry, I just-!" „No!" Alec interrupted them. „It's … it's great! Thank you!" he said then and finally looked back at Magnus, suddenly seeming to realize who just gave him the tickets.
He pressed his lips together, feeling a little awkward again.
Magnus rubbed his arm again, obviously feeling just as weird. „I hope you like them. I don't … want you to take me - I mean, of course I would love to go with you, I love them! Just …. I know you don't like me and I really just wanted to apologize." He looked back at Alec.
The blue-eyed boy watched Magnus for some time and then started to smile a little. „Thank you, Magnus. These really … mean a lot to me."
Magnus smiled as well and nodded. „Okay then … I'm just … gonna go." He nodded again, seeming a little lost like this and Alec almost felt sorry for him.
Instead he just nodded. „Okay, bye …" He closed the door, leaving Magnus standing there.
Letting out a breath, he looked at the tickets.
This was … actually freaking amazing.
He smiled a bit more and made his way back to his desk.

„So?" Jace asked immediately as Alec sat down. „What did he want?"
Alec just shrugged. „Actually nothing much, just apologize."
Jace snorted. „Apologize? Magnus? Oh give me a break …" He shook his head. „Please don't tell me you believed that." Alec snorted. „No?" He looked at Jace. „Okay, maybe a bit?"
„Alec!" Jace whined. „What?! It's not like everything's forgiven, okay? Just … he seemed serious about it. He really apologized and … like you said: it's Magnus. I think he had to google how to apologize before coming here." Alec said then, leaning back in his chair and sighing deeply.
His best friend shook his head. „You're too fucking nice, Alec. I tell you all the time!"
„Not just you …" Alec muttered. „Look, you're right. He's Magnus and he's an ass. But at least he apologized. It doesn't mean I like him now, okay? Just … that it was nice."

Jace nodded at the tickets. „And what's that? Another one of his tries for a date?"
Alec chuckled. „No, actually he gave me two tickets for the Fall Out Boy concert."
Jace blinked. „What?"
The dark-haired boy shrugged. „Yeah, just … said I should take whoever I want."
Jace chuckled. „And of course he didn't mean himself with that?"
Alec rolled his eyes. „Of course he did somehow but he didn't say it like that. He gave me them so I could take whoever I want and … that's kinda new for him."
Groaning, Jace fell back into his chair. „Jesus, Alec, please don't be fooled by this!" he whined. „I swear to god, he's an ass! I mean, look at everything he did to you! Just because he's nice now, doesn't make it okay!"
Alec pressed his lips together. „I know, okay? … It was still nice to hear him apologize. Doesn't change anything, though, don't worry." He grabbed his pen and started working again.
Jace pursed his lips. „Riiight …" He shook his head and then got back to working again as well.


Alec was actually thinking about this whole thing for quite some days.
He wasn't sure what to do with this. Yes of course he was still mad at Magnus. After all, what he did was so not okay!
But … his gesture was really … nice. And he looked like he meant that apology.
Why should he only act as if? If he wouldn't want to apologize, he could've just done nothing at all, right?
And was he really playing with him by lying to him? That wasn't really his way … right?

Sighing deeply, he gave up concentrating on maths and put the book down.
Seriously, this was so fucked up!
And he still didn't know who he wanted to take to that concert.
He really shouldn't take Magnus, he didn't even want to but he still could remember his look when he stood there like a beaten puppy - which wasn't really fair to be honest!
He pressed his lips together and pulled out his phone.
Alec really thought about calling his sister. She kinda seemed like an expert in all this … chaos!
He was about to hit her number, when someone stopped beside him.

Surprised, he looked up but when he saw Camille standing next to him, glaring daggers at him once again, he felt a little sad that it wasn't Magnus like he thought it was.
Okay, wait what?! What was he thinking!
Ugh, this was so stupid.
„Can I help you?" Alec asked then after a few seconds when Camille still hadn't started talking.
The blonde girl pulled her hair over one shoulder as she bent down to him, not breaking her glare.
„You're pathetic." she said then, smiling sweetly. „And you will stay away from Magnus, do you hear me?"

Alec narrowed his eyes. „Excuse me?" he asked then. Okay what the fuck?!
Why should he stay away from Magnus? Wasn't it supposed to be the other way around?
Camille didn't really seem to like his answer and she narrowed her eyes.
„I said: Stay away from Magnus. He's acting all stupid because of you and I won't let you ruin him just because you're the first idiot to give him the cold shoulder."
Alec looked at her and then snorted, shaking his head.
„I think you got the wrong person." he said then and started to gather his things.

Camille slammed her hand down on his, stopping him from grabbing his books.
„I am not joking, Lightwood. You should mind your own business." she snarled.
„I am!" Alec protested and ripped his hand free. „But I'm not the one who's stalking. That's your precious Magnus. So maybe - like I said - you should talk to him and not me!
I'm not searching for any reason to see him or talk to him, I am happy if he stays away, okay?!"
Seriously, he couldn't believe this stupid bitch.

The blonde girl crossed her arms and clicked her tongue. „You're even more stupid than I thought, Lightwood. But," she shrugged. „I guess that can't be helped in your family. Your stupid little sister is just as idiotic as you."
Alec glared at her. „What is your problem, huh? I'm not interested in your stupid boyfriend, so chill out!" He put his stuff into his bag and stood up, shouldering it.
Now that he was standing, he could look down at Camille and he had to admit - he liked it!
Camille smiled. „I do hope you take my advise, Alec. I hate having to make a point."
Well, that was a big lie, Camille loved making people feel miserable but yes, she still wanted to act all mighty. Alec had to suppress a snort, guessing it would make her even more angry.
She turned on her heels and walked away from him.

„What the hell …" The dark-haired boy just muttered. He really didn't get Camille or her stupid act but it was nothing new that she was a bitch. „Me and approaching Magnus …" Alec shook his head, snorting. „Seriously …"
He made his way and dialed Isabelles number, waiting for her to pick up.

„Yo bro~ what's up?" came Isabelles voice after a few rings.
„‚Yo bro'?" Alec asked confused. „What's up with that?"
Isabelle chuckled. „Nothing? Just a little joke. So. What's up?"
Alec sighed. „Camille just payed me a visit."
„Camille?" came Isabelle's surprised question. „Magnus's Camille?"
„The one and only." Alec sighed and made his way to his room. „Told me to stay away from Magnus or she would make me pay."
He could hear his sister snorting. „Yeah right, what the hell? I think she still doesn't realize that it's not you who has to stay away but Magnus."
Alec shrugged. „That's what I told her but she wouldn't listen."
„Of course not."
„So listen, I'm still a little unsure about what to do with these tickets?" Alec asked then.
„You mean the tickets Magnus gave you?" „Mhm." Alec nodded.
„Well … use them? Take Jace?"
„He's already busy and I know it's not really your type of music but … I don't know who else to ask?"
„Mhm …" was Isabelle's answer. „Well, I could always ask Simon? As far as I remember he liked them."
„Seriously?" Alec asked as he fished for his keys. „You want me to go with Simon? Do you really think that's a good idea?"
„Well why not? You like him, don't you? And I think you two are really similar in some points."
Alec lifted an eyebrow. „Seriously. Me and Simon?"
Isabelle chuckled. „Yeah, well … like I said: in some points."
Alec shook his head and opened his door, stepping aside. „Yeah okay, ask him. Maybe not such a bad idea."
„Okay, great!" Isabelle grinned. „I'll let you know what he said."
Alec nodded. „Okay, thanks." he smiled.
„No problem, big bro. See you later~" she chirped.
Alec chuckled. „Okay, yeah, see you later." He hung up and threw his phone on his desk, letting himself fall onto the bed, sighing deeply.
Oh well, Simon might not be the worst choice.


„He still hasn't called me." Magnus whined, letting himself fall onto his bed.
He heard a snort through the telephone. „Man, you gotta give him some time. After what you pulled? I wouldn't talk to you for months - no scratch that: years!" Will answered to that.
Magnus sighed deeply. „Why do you always have to be so mean?"
„I am not mean, you are mean. You stalked the poor boy and now you're surprised he's not jumping on your lap?"
Magnus sighed another time. „You make it sound so awful."
Will laughed. „Because it is?! Come on, Mags. Just chill out and relax. Maybe he'll come around sooner than you think."
„Sooner than I think would be now." Magnus argued and he could almost see Will rolling his eyes.

„Yeah, sure. Whatever." He heard some ruffling through the telephone. „What are you doing?" Magnus asked, turning onto his stomach.
„Just sorting through some clothes…" Will muttered. „Gotta go in half an hour."
Magnus lifted an eyebrow. „Uhuh? And where might you be going?"
Will chuckled. „None of your business."
Magnus groaned immediately. „Will, no! We discussed this, okay? You gotta stay away from him!"
„Oh really? You're giving me a speech about staying away from someone?" Will shot back at that. „Relax, Magnus, it's just a movie."
„Just a movie?! It's never just a movie with you, Will!" Magnus argued. „Please don't do anything stupid, Will, pleeeease!"
Oh this boy was getting himself into so much trouble.
„Mags, relax okay? It is just a movie, nothing special. Just two friends … going to the movies." Will said and it sounded more like he was trying to convince himself.
„Uhuh, sure." Magnus rolled his eyes. „You're just forgetting one crucial point: You two are not friends."

Will murmured something but it was too quiet for Magnus to catch it and he just shook his head. Seriously, this disaster was about to become global and it was like they wanted to get caught.
„How did you even get him to go to the movies with you?" he asked then, playing with some of his hair strands.
„Well … I uh … asked him?" Will suggested then, chuckling. „Not everyone of us has to go a mile around, plastered with excuses, to finally get a date?"
Magnus pouted. „Uncalled for."
„So called for." Will answered. „Okay listen, I gotta hang up, I really have to get ready."
Magnus rolled his eyes. „Yeah, yeah, packing condoms or what?"
„You are so full of shit, Magnus."
„Uhuh, love you too Will."
Will chuckled. „I know you do. Okay, see you."

He hung up and Magnus let the phone drop, sighing deeply. He crossed his arms and put his chin on top of them. „Seriously …" he just muttered.
He stared at the wall, wondering what to do.
Then suddenly he looked up. „Oh god." he muttered to himself. „Oh god!"
He jumped up. „The movies! That's fucking genius!" he cried and jumped from his bed.


When someone knocked on the door of their apartment, Alec was sure it was his sister.
He got up and opened it with the words on his tongue „Hey Izzy." But they got stuck inside his throat when he saw Magnus instead.
„What are you doing here?" Alec asked surprised.
„Okay, I know this is really, really awkward." Magnus nodded. „But I have a problem."
Alec lifted an eyebrow. „And I should care …. why?" he asked then.
Magnus chuckled. „I know you don't but just … hear me out, okay?"
Alec crossed his arms, not saying anything.

Magnus took a deep breath. „Okay so, I know you said no date and I swear it isn't but I have two tickets for the new Star Trek movie and Will just cancelled on me and I already payed for them and I swear it's not a date but I hate going alone and I really, really wanted to see this movie and I would buy you some popcorn and never touch you, I swear but please, please, please?"
Alec blinked. Okay, he had never seen a person talking that quickly besides Isabelle.
He stared at Magnus for quite some time. „Uh … what?"
Magnus gulped. „I know it seems weird but everyone else is busy and I just …" he looked down at the two tickets in his hands. „I really wanted to see this movie." he said then.

Alec narrowed his eyes. „You want me … to go to a movie with you?" he asked then, just to make sure.
Magnus nodded hesitantly.
„Huh." was Alec's first answer. „Why don't you ask your girlfriend?" was his next question.
Magnus looked confused. „My girlfriend?"
„Yeah, you know. Blonde, pretty, bitchy? I think her name is Camille?"
Magnus cocked his head. „Camille is not my girlfriend."
„Oh, really? Are you sure she knows that?" Alec asked then, smiling sweetly.
„Uh … yes? I mean we screw around every now and then but it's nothing serious?"
„Ahuh." Alec answered to that, nodding. „I really think you should talk to her about that."
„What? Why?" Magnus asked, looking even more confused.
Alec just shrugged. „Just saying." He looked at the tickets and pressed his lips together.

„I swear it isn't a date. I just … I hate going to the movies alone. I would buy you some popcorn? Just … please? It could be just going to the movies … as friends?" Magnus begged.
„We are not friends." Alec shot back. "And how do you even know I like Star Trek?"
Magnus gulped. „I … don't, actually. I just… you were the first person to pop into my head when I thought about who to ask. I thought you liked science fiction."
Alec gulped. „I do." And actually he had wanted to see that movie as well.
He pressed his lips together, not being sure about this at all.

„Please?" Magnus begged. „You wouldn't even have to pay for the ticket, I already spent the money anyway."
Alec shook his head. „No. If I don't pay for it, it IS like a date so no."
Magnus blinked. „Is that a … yes?"
Alec pressed his lips together and then sighed deeply. „Just … let me grab my jacket and throw on some shoes."
The door shut close and Magnus stared at it.

„Oh my god …" he whispered to himself. „Oh my god!" He couldn't believe this actually worked! He jumped slightly, grinning like an idiot. Oh~ this was so good.
He bit his lip and pulled out his phone to write to Will.
Movie with friends, thanks for the tip ;)'
The answer came almost immediately.
‚Oh tell me you did not…!'
Magnus grinned like an idiot.
‚Oh yes I did.'
In that moment the door opened and Alec came back out. „Okay, let's go."
Magnus smiled widely and nodded. „Let's go."


Well, well. Magnus may not have gotten the concert but he did get a date *cough* I mean a friendly movie night of course ;D

I hope you liked it and if you do please leave a reviiewwwww :33333 (love theeeem)

See you soooon!
