Last actual chapter and I did it!

Don't worry though, there are still two prologues to go.

Thank you all for the amazing reviews. They are fantabulously wonderous.

I own nothing.

"I'm going to kill him. I mean, the nerve of that son of a bitch thinking he can just make it better by-"

Alec gave Jace a hard slap on the back of the head, effectively shutting him up. Jace rubbed the spot, glaring at Alec. As the blonde boy opened his mouth to continue Izzy covered his mouth with her thin hand, Alec nodding her thanks.

He tightened his thin black tie, before buttoning his dark grey vest over it, his suit jacket still resting on the bed. He can't believe he's doing this. He didn't even want to go to Prom. But, it might be the only chance he has to reconcile with Magnus. Though frankly, if Izzy's right about the looks he's been getting from his ex for months, he could just tell Magnus he wants back together and they would be back to the way they were. Though he still doesn't believe that, because simply, he's been looking at Magnus since the day they broke up and has never seen him look back once.

Alec actually thinks he looks quite nice, if not plain. His outfit is simple as Izzy and Clary (who for some reason is still dating his bigheaded idiot of a brother, whom he loves very much) would let him buy, a simple black suit with a thin black silk tie and a grey vest (charcoal or something according to the girls) with black shiny dress shoes. He had wanted to wear sneakers, but Izzy had told him there was some law against that.

He really wished he had gone shopping with Jem and Will instead.

Despite him not minding how he looked, he feels uncomfortable in the neat suit. It's not his style. At all. He smiles slightly. At least he got Izzy away from the florescent cummerbunds. Alec takes a deep breath to calm himself. He's doing it for Magnus. And anyway, whatever Magnus does to stretch the school's clothing policy for Prom will surely detract any attention from him.

Izzy forces him roughly down into a chair, comb in hand. Alec groans.

"Come on Alec. You want to look nice don't you?" Izzy coos in that sickly sweet tone he's learnt not to trust since he was lured into her witches den of a bedroom when he was 8 and dressed up as a girl.

Jace still had pictures.

Alec didn't protest. His sister could kick his ass any day. He sat back in the chair as she combed and gelled his hair, smoothing it neatly back. He thought it would look stupid considering the current length of his hair, but he didn't complain. It was better than just letting his hair fall in his eyes all night. He wanted to stare at Magnus.

"There. You're done."

Izzy accented her words with a sharp slap to the head.

"You know, usually hair dressers just end the treatment with a compliment."

"I'm not a hair dresser, I'm your sister."

She forces him up, slipped the suit jacket on, a much more jacket fitted than he liked, and did it up for him, before turning him to face the mirror. Alec stood staring at his reflection, shocked. Wow. He actually looked pretty good. Nothing like himself, but good. His body looked slim and muscular with the tight black suit, and his slick black hair along with it gave him an almost super-spy sort of look. Not to mention the way all the black and grey made his eyes, the one bit of colour on him, look brighter and lighter than usual.

"Holy shit dude. I'm not into dick, but if I was, damn," Jace said, eyes travelling up and down his body.

"Um, thanks I guess." A deep breath. "Think I'm ready?"

"Alec, that boy won't know what hit him."

Alec grinned and gave his sister a one armed hug, ruffling his brother's hair, when the door bell rang. With a glance at his watch Alec saw that the other boy was right on time. With a final nervous smile at his siblings he walked downstairs. Standing at the door, he almost ran a hand through his hair, before just taking another deep breath.

Show time.

Magnus stood outside Alec's front door, nervously playing with his hair. He hadn't felt this nervous since, fuck, since he was standing in the same place months ago waiting to take Alec on his first date. That night had ended in heated making out and a long term relationship. He could only hope this night ended as well.

His clothes were perfect. A Victorian style suit, with a deep green jacket that brought out his eyes, a maroon cravat, and fitted pants in the same black as the vest that showed off his ass if you took off the jacket. The entire outfit was slim fitted and tight, showing his slender figure and slight hips. His makeup was simple, a maroon lipstick the same colour at his cravat and heavy eyeliner, a thin dusting of glitter on top of that. His hair half up, the front parts pinned back, but still down.

Over all, more simple than he usually went out with.

Magnus was about to ring the bell again when it was suddenly opened by Alec. A very handsome looking Alec, if he did say so himself. All slim and pinned back and simple. He wanted very little more than to push him up against the wall and ravish him. It had been so long since he'd fucked anyone. But he didn't. He had to build the foundations again or whatever Cam had said.

"Hey. I love your suit," Magnus said, regaining some of his flamboyancy and confidence. At least on the outside.

"Hi. I like your… cravat," Alec replied, his voice a little hesitant, but he was smiling. That had to be a good sign.

"You ready to go?"

Alec nodded and followed him, and Magnus saw him, from the corner of his eye, reach for his hand and then stop. Magnus smiled slightly and reached out to hold his hand, hesitantly, his eyes asking for permission. Alec answered merely by lacing their fingers together with a smile, which Magnus returned happily. Magnus led him to his car, opening the passenger side door for him like a proper gentleman, before hopping in his side and heading to the school.

"So how have you been? What have you been up to?" Magnus asked the smaller boy, trying hard to keep his eyes on the road.

"Not much. I've been hanging out with the boys in track a lot more. And doing a lot of sketching. You know, boring shit." This draws a small laugh from Magnus. "What?"

"Nothing, it's just that, when we met you told me you didn't like swearing aloud. You're a little different about that now."

Alec blushes. "Yeah well, it happens."

Magnus smiles and starts tapping his fingers on the steering wheel happily. They remain silent for most of the drive, exchanging slight pleasantries until they pull up to the school. It's odd, being at the school when it's dark out. The only light emanates from the gym on the other side of campus, and there are students everywhere around, hopping out of cars and limos, dressed up better than Magnus thought many of them had the capacity to. He had always hated school dances. He and his friends usually just used it as a way to go to clubs and be assured they wouldn't be forced to see anyone from this shit hole. But… it was Alec. And if Alec wanted to go with him, then he went.

Alec looked about as confident as a puppy about to be tossed into a fireplace. As he was held by a tiger. Magnus smiled affectionately and took his hand comfortingly again. Alec looked at him, shocked, for a moment before smiling thankfully and walking towards the gym. Magnus couldn't help but feel more contented than he had in months, just by the simple touch of Alec. It's better than months of lying to himself and his friends that's for sure. It's also nice to be able to stare at Alec up close.

When they at last reached the gym Magnus resisted the urge to upchuck at the cheap fairy lights and pastel balloons. Magnus hadn't paid attention when they had chosen the theme, but unless it was 'shitty baby shower,' they were doing a horrible job. He didn't at all regret his decision to skip the previous dances. Alec had a similar look of distance on his face, and Magnus smiled. He knew there was a reason he had fallen in love with this boy.

"So, want to dance?" Magnus asked, despite the face he couldn't understand how anyone could truly dance to the music playing.

Alec nodded slightly, following him as he led the pale boy to the already packed dance floor. The music was fast enough that the dancers around them were just a mess of bodies, not defined couples, which made Magnus both happy and sad. For one, he wasn't forced to try and read what stage they were up to in the whole touching thing. But, he did want to dance with Alec. Maybe even get to the slow dance if he played his cards right.

But apparently Alec could either read his mind or had the same qualms, because he didn't let go of his hand as they began to sway with the crowd. The pale boy's chest was inches from his, his hips possibly closer. Magnus smiled a flirtatious smile at him, which Alec matched, but with a blush on his cheeks.

"Do you remember the first time we danced? At the club the first day we met?" Alec asked over the music. If this shit counted as music.

Magnus nodded, at least having the decency to look a little embarrassed at the memory. Alec thought back to the night, his cheeks hot as he remembered. The first time another boy had purposely made him hard. The first time he had done the same to another boy. Almost his first kiss. All in all, a good night.

He remembered the way Magnus' lean body had felt pressed against his back, the way his dick felt pressed up to his ass, months before they would have sex for the first time, the way his fingers felt on his hips and ass. It was still one of his favourite jerk off fantasies, even if they were significantly more alone and less clothed in the fantasy, topped by their first time and those green boxers.

Alec shook his head, stupid perverted mind, and smiled at his… date. Only true thing he could call him at that moment. The song ended and Alec let go of Magnus' hand.

"I can see Jem and Will over there. Do mind if I go over and see them?"

Magnus nodded. "Sure. I should see Ragnor and Cam anyway."

Alec smiled and walked away, heading to his friends as they leant on the snack table taking alternate drinks of a flask. Will had always given off the same vibe as Jace, that 'I'm too hot and too awesome to give a shit,' And even prom wasn't an exception. He was in black jeans and a white button down, a tie very loosely done around his neck. Jem however, was the picture of cool, in a tight silver suit with a black shirt and grey tie. They made a good couple.

"Hey guys. Where are your dates?"

Jem shrugged. "I broke up with Tessa last week and didn't have time to find a new date, so we both came stag."

"Uh-huh," Alec said knowingly.

"Oh come on Lightwood. Just because you like dick doesn't mean the rest of us do," Will shot back, shoving Alec's shoulder.

Alec merely nodded and leant on the table next to the two boys, rejecting the offer to take a drink, spurting a line about how he was staying sober for the night. Not really true, but he knew any drink Will offered was a little suspicious. Even if he was letting Jem drink it.

"So, does this mean that you're back with Magnus now?" Will blurted out, before Jem slapped him on the back of the head.

"William! We said we were going to wait for him to tell us!" Jem scolded his friend.

"Well James, there had been a silence and I was about to burst. Lightwood was never going t-"

"Guys, it's okay. I don't mind that you asked. And, no, we're not back together. Not yet at least."

"Well, do you want to get back together with him?" Jem asked.

"I don't know, I mean I guess I wa-"

"Oh that's bullshit Lightwood. You've been mooning for months and we both know that you want back with Bane," Will interjected, receiving a harder hit from Jem.

"Will! For the love of god can you not be yourself for three minutes?"

Alec rolled his eyes. "Okay, so I want to get back with Magnus. But, that doesn't mean I will. I don't even know if he wants to…" He spotted the indecorous looks his friends were giving him. "Fine, so he wants it too. But I still don't know if we can be like… you know when I say it out loud it sounds really stupid and wimpish."

Jem gave a soft laugh. "I'd usually say if that maybe you're not ready, but you asked him to prom Alec. You have to take into account that you made the first move and you have to decide where you want this to go."

"Wow. I like insightful James," Will said, slinking an arm around his friend's shoulders. Jem shot him a glare and his arm retracted, pulling a laugh from Alec.

"Maybe you're right." Alec glanced over to where Magnus was laughing with Ragnor and Camille and smiled. It had been so long since he had seen Magnus laugh. "I think I've decided."

Magnus laughed at Ragnor's vulgarity about the boy he had been fucked by the night before. He hadn't laughed very much in the last few months, but he seemed to be positively giddy tonight. And he knew why. He looked over at Alec, meeting the other boy's eyes and grinning, waving him over. Alec said something to his friends before walking over, taking his hand the moment he was next to Magnus. Magnus grinned.

"Hey Allie. How's life been without the trio?" Cam asked, shoving his shoulder softly.

"Amazingly average and wonderful. Thank you for asking Camille."

"Come on pretty boy. You know you missed us," Ragnor said with a wink.

Alec rolled his eyes, as a slow song began to play through the speakers. Ragnor held out a hand for Camille, which she took and they were already pressed happily together before they even reached the dance floor. Magnus glanced awkwardly at Alec. He knew that you couldn't do what they did in the first dance during a slow song. Ballads were the romantic dance with the close bodies and gazing into each other's eyes and shit. He longed to wrap his arms around the smaller boy, but he knew he had to wait for Alec to make the first move.

"Um, do you want to dance?" Alec asked, obviously shy.

Magnus nodded excitedly, taking Alec's hand and pulling him to the dance floor as he heard the words of Christina Perri's "Thousand Years" begin. Alec smiled at him and Magnus wrapped his arms around Alec's hips. Alec blushed slightly, settling his arms around Magnus' neck, as they swayed to the slow music. The dance floor was a mess of bodies, many of them bumping into Magnus, but he couldn't take his eyes off of Alec. He was so beautiful.

After a few moments of swaying at arm's length Alec swallowed, heavily enough that the bobbing of his adam's apple was visible to Magnus even on the darkened dance floor, and the pale boy moved closer to Magnus, pressing his head to the top of Magnus' slim chest. Despite the multiple layers Magnus wore, he could feel the heat of Alec's body on his, and wrapped his arms tight around Alec's body, holding them closer together than Magnus had dared to hope for on this date.

They continued to sway to the music, Alec's head pressed to his heart, as the song seemed to last an eternity. Not that Magnus minded in the least, he would be perfectly content staying like this for the rest of his life.

Then suddenly Alec was no longer so close, and Magnus was thinking about whether he had moved too fast, or if Alec had changed his mind and decided not to forgive him, or-

And then, just as suddenly as the head on his chest, Alec's lips were pressed to his, softly kissing as the music swelled over the loudspeaker, his pale bottom pale slipped between Magnus' maroon ones. Magnus didn't stand frozen as he had imagined he might in such a situation, but instead called on his memory of how Alec enjoyed being kissed the most. Putting the memory to good use, he kissed him with slow brushes of the lips, chaste, but containing every bit of longing he had from the months without Alec in his arms.

As the song ended Magnus thought Alec would pull away, but he wrong. Alec stayed kissing him as the next song started, another ballad, and this one he did not recognize. He opened eyes he couldn't remember closing to look at Alec's pale face, blissful with happiness as the kiss continued. Magnus smiled into the light kiss, once again closing his eyes. He didn't know what this was or what it meant, but hell if he was going to question it when he, even if it was only for a moment, finally had Alec back.

Alec's back hit the wall, feeling the smooth plaster through the thin fabric of his suit, as Magnus attacked his mouth. Though it wasn't much of an attack. In an attack usually the victim didn't have a hard on and wasn't reciprocating the attack very possibly more energetically than the attacker. Alec wrapped his arms around Magnus' neck, holding the slim body close to his, pressing their clothed erections together. He wasn't entirely sure how they got to this point. They were kissing, and it was nice and sweet, and then Magnus got him some punch, and then… well after about another hour of shit music and small talk they were in the back of Magnus' car, Alec attached to Magnus' collar bone, before the taller boy had said something along the lines of "not here" and they had ended up back at Magnus' apartment.

Alec moaned softly as Magnus' tongue entered his mouth, skilfully running along his. Magnus rolled his hips into Alec's, and Alec moaned again at the feeling. Magnus, who had only just pushed him up against the wall, yanked him off said wall and dragged him to the long couch, pushing him back down to be straddled by the taller boy. Alec moaned yet again, the sound echoed by the tanned boy nibbling at his ear, while dry humping him into the couch. His thoughts were running at a million miles an hour, as they had been for most of the night. And then one thought got pushed up to top priority by that annoying voice, which frankly, got worse by the day, saying what the fuck is this?

And with that thought on his mind, he pushed Magnus off of him, so that the taller boy was sitting back on his knees, where their dicks were a good two feet apart and Magnus couldn't distract him with that amazing tongue again.

"Alexander, if you're having second thoughts, now is not a good time."

"No, I-I'm not, I just need to know, is this leading to something?"

Magnus looked at him with the most confused eyes he could remember ever seeing on the taller boy's face. "It's up to you. It's all up to you. I broke your heart. Now you have to make the decision."

"Just, answer me this then. Do you still love me?"

"Of course! How could you think that I ever stopped?" Magnus answered, sounding offended. "Do you still love me?"

"Yes."

"Then what's the issue?" Magnus asked, leaning back down to kiss Alec's neck.

"Magnus, stop." Magnus reared back, still looking confused. "I can't do this with you unless you're my boyfriend again. And, I want you to be. But I don't know if I can. You hurt me, and I don't know if I can trust you enough for this again."

Magnus hopped off Alec, before kneeling next to the couch, staring into Alec's eyes. "Alexander, I love you. I promise to continue loving you until day I die, and I will never hurt you again, let alone break your heart. So, please, will you be my boyfriend again?"

Alec smiled and nodded. He didn't entirely know how this was going to work, and what was going to happen, but staring into Magnus' green eyes, seeing the pure love in his gaze that echoed his, he just couldn't say no.

Magnus grinned and suddenly their lips were back together and Magnus had pulled him back to be standing and Alec's muscular legs were around Magnus' hips, holding him up. Alec couldn't see where Magnus was carrying him, but even after months apart he still knew the way Magnus would carry him around the coffee table and kick the bedroom door open, and where he was when he saw the slightly off coloured walls. Magnus laid him lightly down on the soft bed, and he leaned up to place another soft kiss on Magnus' prefect lips.

And for the first time in months, both boys could genuinely say, with real smiles and no lies, that they were happy.

It's over. This chapter was so loooooong.

And yes, I didn't write smut. I would have, but it's so long and I just couldn't write anymore.

I promise there will be lots of smut in the out takes.

Thank you for sticking with this story, and please stick around for the outtakes.

Lots of Love,

Mae
