*This is a re-post* Hey, so sorry this is getting uploaded so late, I've been taking care of my nana because she fell. Thank you for being patient, Ill try to post another one before Saturday. Thank you to all of the people who are favoriting and following this story, I hope its living up to your expectations!
"Alright, so as you all know, the theme this year is time. I have a few songs that I think fit that category well. This one is a little cheesy, but it does convey a pretty clear story, so Blaine, Rory, Sam, and Artie worked with me a little beforehand on this, join in if you know it!" he pointed to the band that seemed to appear out of nowhere and they started playing a song.
People say we shouldn't be together
We're too young to know about forever
But I say they don't know what they're talk-talk-talkin' about (talk-talk-talkin' about)
'Cause this love is only getting stronger
So I don't wanna wait any longer
I just wanna tell the world that you're mine, girl
Oh
Half of the kids joined In for the chorus.
They don't know about the things we do
They don't know about the "I love yous"
But I bet you if they only knew (they don't know)
They would just be jealous of us,
They don't know about the up all night
They don't know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right
Baby, they don't know about, they don't know about us
One touch and I was a believer
Every kiss, it gets a little sweeter
It's getting better
Keeps getting better all the time, girl
Magnus pulled Alec into the swarm of dancing, singing students, much to his dismay.
They don't know about the things we do
They don't know about the "I love yous"
But I bet you if they only knew (they don't know)
They would just be jealous of us,
They don't know about the up all night
They don't know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right
Baby, they don't know about, they don't know about us
Magnus took the spotlight, singing to Alec.
They don't know how special you are
They don't know what you've done to my heart
They can say anything they want
'Cause they don't know about us
Everyone joined back in, all of them knowing the words and syncing their dance moves even though they didn't know what song they were going to be preforming. Jace really needed to figure out how they did it.
They don't know what we do best
It's between me and you, our little secret
But I wanna tell 'em
I wanna tell the world that you're mine, girl
They don't know about the things we do
They don't know about the "I love yous" (I love you)
But I bet you if they only knew (if they only knew)
They would just be jealous of us (they would just be jealous of us),
They don't know about the up all night
They don't know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right (feels so right)
Baby, they don't know about, they don't know about us
They don't know about the things we do
They don't know about the "I love yous"
But I bet you if they only knew
They would just be jealous of us,
They don't know about the up all night
They don't know I've waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right
Baby, they don't know about, they don't know about us
They don't know about us
They don't know about us
Blaine finished the last line of the song.
Alec was listening to the lyrics and he found himself wishing he knew about this song a few months earlier, before he proposed to Lydia. It reminded him of Magnus' and his relationship, if you could even call it that, before anyone knew he was gay. Alec wished he had had the strength to sing this song to his parents a few months ago, but he would probably never have enough self confidence and shamelessness to do anything like that. Getting up in front of complete strangers and singing was scary enough and the only thing that got him through it was starring into Magnus' eyes, and the fact he would never have to see these people again. He sometimes envied his siblings on how confident they were. Jace could get into an awkward situation and come out on top, and Izzy practically bent boys to her will. Alec was just the shy, quiet, and now openly gay boy that everyone forgot about. Jace would shamelessly make a complete fool of himself and then convince others that they were the foolish ones. Alec knew he would never be able to do that and he had made his peace with it, but sometimes it would be nice to have a little bit more confidence in himself.
"Really nice job everybody!" Mr. Schue laughed, "So what do you guys think of that song for sectionals?" He asked.
"I just, I don't think it has enough depth for sectionals Mr. Schue," Rachel said.
"Yeah, and us doing One Direction? People will either love us or hate us, theres no in-between," Kurt added.
"Ok, I have a few other songs that might work," Mr. Schue said right before the bell rang, "Alright, well, uh, enjoy the rest of your day and brainstorm some songs for sectionals," He called after the people leaving.
Magnus had grabbed Alec's hand and was walking with him towards the door of the auditorium behind Jace. "Where are you two staying?" He asked, expecting the answer from Alec.
"At the Lima institute, can we hurry up, I want to do my homework," Jace said over his shoulder.
Magnus shot a concerned look towards Alec, Alec just rolled his eyes and let out an exasperated sigh, "He's getting into this school thing way too much," He whispered to Magnus.
Magnus' eyebrows raised, "Ahhh, and your not?"
It was Alec's turn to raise his eyebrows, "Really? Being around hordes of judgey people? I do that enough, besides, they don't even treat us like real people here, just...kids. It's a little demeaning going from being the Head of the New York Institute and always having people look to me for orders or direction, to being a...a high school student," he said, not having to explain how he was treated as a high school student because Magnus already knew.
"Believe I understand that. So, you don't mind if you skip the whole doing homework thing? Because I was thinking-" Magnus asked, but before he could finish his question they heard heavy footsteps coming from behind them at a fast pace. Alec tensed, shadowhunter training kicking in, before they heard the voice.
"Mike, uh, I was wondering if you had some time after school today? I wanted to talk to you," Mr. Schue said.
Magnus looked hesitant, though most people wouldn't be able to decipher the new emotion from his usual face, just people who knew him really well. He turned to Alec, who was watching him, and gave him a questioning look, like he was asking for permission. Alec just smiled, nodded understandingly, and turned to walk with Jace back to the Institute, "See you tomorrow, I guess?"
"Alexander, wait, I was going to ask if you wanted to come over to my place instead of going back to the Institute with," He looked over to Jace, who was smiling smugly to himself while shimmying, "that." He smiled sympathetically at Alec, "Just, uhh, just come with me, you can wait outside or sit with me. Unless, of course you'd rather spend the night with him," He pointed at the blond haired boy who was now jumping up and down reaching for the ceiling.
"By the Angel," Alec muttered to himself, "Jace!" He put his arms out in the universal gesture of 'what the hell are you doing?' with an exasperated mouthing of what? Jace stopped immediately. Alec turned back to his glittery boyfriend, "Nope, I'll stay with you," They both smiled, getting lost in each others eyes until they heard a cough.
Alec blushed when he looked over to see Mr. Schue, who was still standing there and who had seen the whole exchange. "So, can we talk?" He asked Magnus.
"Sure," He said, grabbing Alec's hand and leading the other boy behind him as he followed Mr. Schue to his office.
"Uhh, do you want me to come in with you, or, like, I could just-" Alec stammered, blushing.
"It's up to you darling, whichever you prefer," Magnus smiled at him.
"I'll just wait outside," He said, still blushing, and leaned against the wall awkwardly.
"Alright, Alexander, yell if you need anything," Magnus smiled again before turning to walk into Mr. Schue's office, reassuming his Mike persona.
Hey, sorry about the repost, I posted the wrong one the other day because it was late and I was tired from seeing Wicked(My favorite musical). I'll probably post another chapter tomorrow. Again, so sorry for how late this is, thank you for being patient!
