You guys have given me 50 frickin reviews! How awesome is that? You guys deserve another chapter so, here it is!
Oh, and to the few people that said anything about Garrett, thank you! He isn't here today, though, so I don't get to celebrate my reviews with him. I'll try to get him here next, though!
I hope you guys enjoy!
Warning: I wanted this to be somewhat funny but, I may have failed horribly. Just saying. And Magnus may be OOC but, I figured it was appropriate given the fact that ice cream is present.
Title: Ice Cream
Characters: Alec and Magnus
POV: Alec's (He's better now!)
Thankfully, it only took a few more days before I stopped throwing up everywhere and Magnus trusted my ability to function like a normal human.
I have to admit, though, I actually really like it when he's so over protective. It's cute.
Magnus decided that it would be appropriate to celebrate my survival from the flu (As if- It's not nearly as bad as a demon) by going to the park.
Angel knows why though because Magnus fares a lot better indoors.
"Jesus. Why is it sooo hot out here?" Magnus asks, fanning himself.
"Huh. I don't know. Maybe it's because you're wearing rainbow pants?" I counter.
"Normally, I would believe you Alec BUT, I happen to be wearing my RAINBOW leather pants because black clothing attracts heat. So ha, Shadowhunter." Magnus says victoriously.
I decide to let that slide and just roll my eyes at him. I don't think Magnus is too fond of common sense at times…
"Plus, my pants always make things hot." He says, flipping his spiked hair back. "And bothered." He purrs, leaning into me.
I feel a stupid blush creeping across my face. Story of my life.
"Ehmigawd! Alec, look!" Magnus says, stopping to bounce in place and, dragging my arm up and down with him.
"What?" I say, looking around to see what's so amazing. Or terrifying? It's hard to tell with Magnus sometimes.
"It's the frickin ice cream truck, that's what! Don't you hear the music?" Magnus says, releasing my hand to start clapping enthusiastically.
"Um, no?" I say. I peer in the direction that Magnus is staring and far off in the distance, and I mean really far off, I can just make out a rectangular shaped truck. It's white so, I'm guessing that's it.
"Oh. Okay. Yeah I see it." Magnus doesn't seem to be listening, though. "Do you want some ice cream, Magnus?" I ask in a voice that I'd normally reserve for small children.
"Duh!" Magnus says, sounding exactly like Izzy. I shudder and take his hand, dragging him towards the street.
Of course, there's no way the driver doesn't see us coming, with Magnus's sparkly rainbow pants strutting in his direction.
"Hello, boys. What can I get for you today?" A middle aged man asks, glancing at our clasped hands and smiling.
"I'd like…" Magnus starts, a Cheshire grin planting itself firmly on his face. "A Triple Cone Delight with mint chocolate chip, cookie dough and brownie batter!" The man nods at Magnus and starts making his cone.
"Huh. Well, since that's gonna be humongous, I guess we can share." I say, glancing at Magnus. His face tells me otherwise, though.
Magnus looks at me incredulously. "Baby, I know you're just recovering from having a very high fever and everything so, your head's probably a little fuzzy but, there's no way and I do mean NO WAY, that that's enough ice cream for us."
The man in the truck starts laughing at Magnus's no nonsense tone but I just stare at him. I can tell that he's completely serious.
"Okay, then. I'd like a single mint chocolate chip cone, please." I tell the man. He nods at me as he hands Magnus his cone.
The cone itself is this weird contraption that starts out as one cake cone but, branches off into three sections so that each scoop has its own top of a cone.
I just shake my head at Magnus who seems to have forgotten that I'm here due to his enthralled state with his ice cream.
"Here you go, sir." The man hands me my simple cone and I pay for them before pulling Magnus's elbow away from the truck.
"Good luck with that!" The man shouts after us, grinning.
"Thanks. I think I'll need it!" I say. Magnus doesn't even notice the exchange.
I would've taken Magnus's hand but, they're both occupied with his cone.
I start laughing hysterically at him because he's seriously like a 6'4'' kid that's nursing an ice cream addiction or something.
Magnus glances at me from over his cone. "Whash sho funny?" He asks with his mouth full, causing me to laugh even harder.
"We…Should….Sit..." I manage to choke out before collapsing onto the ground in front of a tree.
Magnus sits as well, eyeing me suspiciously over his cone. I can feel my cheeks turning bright red as I laugh at him.
My laughter only gets more hysterical as I watch Magnus's eyes follow a thin trail of melting ice cream sliding down his cone before he laps it up greedily.
As I calm down, Magnus finishes his cone and asks if I want mine. "Shyeah. You've had yours." I say, shooing his hand away.
"What was so funny?" Magnus frowns at me.
"You looked just like a little kid while you were eating your ice cream. It was hilarious." I chuckle again. "And, you were staring so intently at it." Magnus just shakes his head and pulls me into his lap.
"I don't think that's funny." Magnus says, smiling at me from behind my shoulder.
"Yeah but you were just so adorable. I couldn't help myself." I say, leaning into him. His face softens at that.
I eventually finish my cone and, of course, that's when all of the sugar has rushed to Magnus's sparkly head.
"Do you want to go shopping?" He asks, out of the blue. He doesn't wait for me to respond.
"I think we should go shopping! We could go to Hot Topic and get you some new clothes and I could go to the M.A.C counter because they have the glitteriest makeup ever-" He keeps going.
"Magnus!" I try to cut him off. It doesn't work, of course.
"And, then, we could eat at the food court. And maybe I could get a smoothie." That's definitely not happening but Magnus keeps talking, nonetheless.
Maybe strawberry? And French fries! I really want French fries-"
I cut him off, successfully this time. "Alright. I'll go to the mall with you." I say. Magnus stops talking and just sits there, grinning stupidly at me.
"Later." I add. I really don't feel like losing a hyper Warlock in the mall. Or, even worse, getting dragged around the mall by said warlock at 100 mph.
"Oh, fine. But, we'd better go today." Magnus threatens. I nod at him.
"Hey, Magnus. Your brother Lysander…" I start.
"Yeah? What about him?" Magnus asks.
"Do you think we could go visit him like you said?" I ask. I really want to meet this brother of his.
I mean, really. Magnus knows my entire family and I've always thought that Magnus just didn't have any family members around anymore.
And even if he did, that he wouldn't want to be in contact with him.
"Actually, dear Alec, I've already talked to my brother. He's coming here for business anyway and he'll be staying with me." Magnus says, smiling.
"So, you and your brother are really close?" I ask, enjoying the fact that he's seemed to calm down.
"Oh, yeah. I don't see him as often as I'd like but, we've always looked after each other." He says.
"Like parabatai." I say, I say, liking the idea of Magnus always having someone to look after him.
"Exactly! Well, there was that time that my father banned him from even staying in the barn with me so, he had to leave but, he eventually found me with the Silent Brothers and we've been in touch ever since." Magnus says.
We slip into an easy silence, faint smile on both of our faces.
"You almost made me forget!" Magnus says, jumping up and yanking me up as well.
"What?" I say, completely confused.
"We need to get dressed to go to the mall, duh." Magnus says, pulling me in the direction of the apartment.
"Once again, why do you feel that it's necessary to dress up to go shopping for more things to dress up in?" I ask.
"My poor boyfriend." Magnus says, shaking his head at me and eyeing me pitifully. "You really do lack common sense sometimes." I can't believe he thinks that I lack common. As if.
A Quick Message: Also, guys, now that I'm thinking of it, please stop flaming me for making Jace arrogant. I already addressed this and, really, he is what we write him as. I've portrayed him to the best of my ability. I like Jace and I tried to get his character right. If that's not good enough, I apologize but, he's gotten more screen time than I'd originally planned for him. This is a Malec fic, after all. Also, these are fictional characters, guys. I mean, come on? Also, if you have some kind of problem with my stories, even if it's just my depiction of a character like Jace or something, please log in and pm me. I look at my reviews for constructive criticism, not rants about how I'm being unfair to one of the characters. The phone call chapter was a bonus and I don't really consider it to be consequential to my story at all. Besides, Magnus and Jace were clearly joking. I thought I'd made that clear? Sorry to bother you guys with this but, I just thought I'd put that out there, in hopes of preventing anymore weirdly immature anonymous rants. If this doesn't help, I may have to change my settings. But, almost all of you guys sign in anyway and those that don't are generally very polite and inspiring. :D
Almost every last one of you leave amazingly encouraging reviews so, sorry, if you read that and it didn't pertain to you. I've actually only gotten two reviews that have really bothered me, I think. Thank you guys for that! You're awesome! Now that that's outta the way... here's my actual Author's Note.
And now, I am craving mint chocolate chip ice cream.
I hope it's at least somewhat entertaining, guys. Haha.
Oh, well, review and let me know! Also, I've updated my other story, for the few of you that are reading that one, as well. I hope it gets a stronger viewership…
Also, I know a lot of people kinda hate AU Malecs but, I'm thinking about uploading one about them being in college. I think high school MI is far over played.
Magnus will still be a warlock but, he'll also be only 19 years old, which I think would explain him being in college. So, he's just come into his powers. And, yes, Alec's still a Shadowhunter and everything and 18. Would you guys read something like that? Just curious. :D
