Hey guys! It's been a while hasn't it? I actually wrote this chapter three times. Writers block sucks. And I was writing a script for some little kids to do a movie. And a few people picked up on my mistake. I meant Sophie. I went back and changed it all. Some of it was my iPad's mucked up autocorrect that I'm this close to getting rid of, no matter how good it is in notes.

Reviews:

cocodayo: Aw, thanks! And they're mine too! I can't wait till I can watch them like we very week.

RoslynM: Thanks!

TaileaLightwoodHerondale: yup. It's not that bad. And I love seriously!

Miss Glitter: Why thank you. I'm flattered. No, it's just Gideon and Gabriel that are Alec's cousins. Will and Cecily are Jace's cousins, the rest of them are just really close friends. I couldn't resist putting in some TID characters.

Hotcisawesome: Yup this wasn't a fast update! Writers block is suckish. So's RME homework that you get told about the FREAKING day before you have to hand in a report twelve pages long. Sorry I just really hate RME.

Amaira Rai: YES! I'll kidnap everyone! Nope no clue about currency at all. And BOOM TFIOS reference yes you are good.

Intoxic: Yes, yes and yes. I went back and fixed it, thanks for pointing that out.

Anonymous: Maths homework is a drag. I just had a test and guess who got 96%?! I'm kinda boasting but oh well it's a really good mark.


Magnus POV IV

We follow Maryse into the other room. I look up and all around. 1234 Institute Road was definitely gorgeous. And freaking massive wow!

Suddenly Maryse stops and turns towards us.

"Alec," she begins.

"Mom, I get you don't like it-"

"I'm fine with it. Your father won't be. How do you suggest we say this to him?"

"Maryse, I'm sorry, but why did you pretend you weren't okay with it?" I ask.

"Robert and I, we feel it would be better if we didn't fight."

"So you have to change your opinion? Mom, we're not hiding him away. Magnus is staying here as my-" he glances at me.

"Friend. I'm staying here as Alec's friend. Maryse, if Robert kicks me out, I'll have no where to go," I say, and Alec shoots me a grateful look.

"Of course. Well, that's what we'll tell him. Now, what is this about a girlfriend, Alec?" Maryse asks, looking delighted. Oh crap.

"Um, she's a- She has-"

"She's my big sister, um, Caterina," I cut in.

"You have a sister?"

"She lives with her dad. He doesn't like me," I say. What can I say? I'm a pro-liar. Alec stares at me in wonder. Maryse clears her throat.

"Of course. Invite her round at some point, Alec. And tell her not to dress up. We'll take her as she is," she says. Alec nods and we leave.

"Wow, Mags. You were amazing," he says looking at me in awe.

"Lying isn't the only thing I'm amazing at, if you get my drift," I say, winking at him. He blushes and looks away. I love making my Angel blush. He looks like a baby cherub. Do you get adult cherubs?

"What's up, Mags?" Alec asks.

"Do you get adult cherubs?" I ask. I feel my face heating up as he stares at me in confusion.

"I mean, which ones are your cousins?"

"Gabriel and Gideon are my cousins, Cecy and Will are Jace's. Jem and Sophie are our friends from England, where I lived for a bit. And Jessamine should be with them too, I wonder where she is."

"Jess, Charlotte and Henry are flying over tomorrow," one of the other Lightwoods says, sticking his head out the door that lead to the living room. Alec groans.

"Wow, Angel. I didn't know you could show any emotion," I tease. He looks at me blushing.

"I think we both know that's not true," he says. My eyebrow goes up.

"What's that supposed to mean Alexander?" I purr.

"I think you know, Magnus," Alec says, his beautiful blue eyes daring me to take it further.

"Is this some kind of American thing?" the Lightwood asks. I forgot he was listening.

"Yeah. It is," I say.

"Gideon, we're gonna go upstairs. Magnus needs to get something from my room, plus my laptop is up there."

"Hoping for another message from this 'High Warlock'?" Gideon asks wiggling his eyebrows.

"How do you know about me- I mean, him?" I ask.

"Alec always talks about him whenever we see him."

"Oh, really?" I say, side-eyeing Alec. His adorable blush is back on his cheeks! Don't squeal Magnus, as far as his family knows, he's dating someone and you're straight.

"Let's go, Magnus," he moans, running up the stairs.

"Coming!" I wave to Gideon and run up the stairs to see Alec banging his head on the wall.

"Hey, hey, why are you doing that?"

"My family are insane and I wouldn't have wanted you to meet them right after we kiss," Alec says. I laugh and he grins.

"You wanna come into my room?"

"So we can see if there's a message from yours truly? Lets," I joke and Alec smiles again. His smile is so cute!

"Why are you doing that weird face?" Alec asks.

"What weird face?"

"You make it a lot. Whenever I blush or smile or laugh you make a face like," he screws his face up. Aww.

"There it is again!"

"What, this face?" He nods. "Well I was just thinking how adorable you are."

"I'm not adorable."

"How can you say that with a straight face?"

"It's true," he insists, blushing. I don't know how I would live without that blush.

"Alec! I'm home," Izzy shouts.

"Alec? We brought takeout!" Clary continues.

"Alec! We brought round some of Jace's family! Now I know how he's so annoying, it's his genes!" Simon yells. Then a few seconds later, "Stop, ow, Will, Jace leave me alone! Oh look a duck!" I hear Will and Jace screaming.

"There's no duck you idiots!" Cecily shouts at them.

"Alec! Magnus! Stop kissing and get down here!" Jace shouts. Shit. I look at Alec, but he just grins.

"Shut it Jace!"

We go down the stairs to find Will on the floor, Jace and Jem talking, Cecily and Isabelle laughing, Isabelle looking really happy, Simon and Clary having an intense discussion and Gabriel, Gideon, Sophia and Tessa all talking. I look over at Alec and see he loves it. That this is his family. Why can't I have one of these?

He turns around and sees me staring at him. Alec holds out his hand and leads me down the stairs.

"So you're gay?" Gideon asks.

"Yeah," Alec answers. "But don't tell my parents. They'll kick me out. Before that'd be fine, but now Magnus is staying here. And he shouldn't get kicked out of two houses in a row."

"Why d'ya lie?" Gabriel asks.

"Yeah," Cecy says.

"What, you think I trust you?" Alec asks. Everyone laughs and relaxes. But Alec's still looking at Gideon. I guess he looks up to him a little.

Gideon winks. And Alec relaxes a little bit. And I am too busy looking around at all these people that were given to Alec to notice when he turns around. And too busy when he leans in. But when his lips touch mine, nothing on earth could stop me from noticing and returning the kiss.
