Wow, I can't believe its chapter 15 and I've written 30,000 words! Thanks for supporting this story and keeping me motivated to write because I really love this story now!


Lucky for Magnus, today in Spanish class they were having conversations with a partner about how to plan for a party, how to set up for a party, what you do durning the part, and what you do after the party. Alec and him talked the whole class about the party and how Alec was a little uncomfortable with a bunch of people he didn't know, mundanes no less, coming into his home. Magnus assured him that these people were trustable and that this was important to him, so of course Alec supported him.

In history class Jace gave Alec a death glare for making him work with the annoying girl sitting next to him while he watched Magnus type their essay. Alec had volunteered to do the work but Magnus said he wanted to, that it would help him to remember that part of his past. Alec would ask him about things that he wrote and occasionally pointed out grammatical errors. Their presentation was about how the Great Depression effected people, not financially or physically but emotionally. How it made people feel to loose their jobs and homes, how they felt when their families were split out, how they all were very desperate for any way to make it better. Magnus got a far away look in his eye when he talked about it, telling Alec how powerless he felt, how their were so many people he couldn't save.

"There's not much you could've done, these people were looking for a way out of the mess that had become their lives, none of that was your fault," Alec consoled him.

"I know that, but I can't help but feel like I should've done more," Magnus said, turning to face Alec who was sitting behind him, "They're not just names in a text book to me, I can put faces, personalities, smiles to most of them," Magnus laughed dryly, "I was mostly unaffected by the financial part of it, in fact, even more people wanted the High Warlock of Brooklyn help after that," Magnus was looking solemnly at his hands. Alec leaned forward and wrapped his arms around him, not knowing what else he could do.


When the bell rang the two young adults and the young-looking elderly man made their way to the glee room for their free period. "So, I'm having a gathering at my place tonight, who's coming?" Magnus told everyone when he walked into the room. Alec rolled his eyes at Magnus use of "gathering" he had started calling his parties that when Alec complained about having a bunch of strangers in their home at all hours of the night. Magnus proceeded to tell him that they weren't strangers but when Alec asked him to name the werewolf that had just broken a vase, Magnus just smiled and kicked everyone out.

"A what?" Puck said.

Magnus sighed and rolled his eyes, "A party, a get together, a game night. You all said you wanted to know what was up with me I'm giving you a chance to figure it out. It will be at this address at," he said looking to Alec for a time to put on the invitations he was about to create.

"Five," Alec supplied.

"Five O'clock sharp," He then pulled a stack of neat invitations out of his bag leaving people wondering where he got them if Alec had just told him the time.


Magnus was a bit glad that Alec and Jace had detention because it gave him time to set up for his gathering without criticism or nagging because he summoned all of the supplies from a party city. Magnus had come up with a few games for that night, similar to the mundane games he had always loved, but with his own twist.


"Now, I want each of you to just think about why you're here and how you could have avoided being here," The psychology teacher who was doing detentions that week told them. She handed out a paper they were supposed to fill out.

Questions were as follows: What did you do wrong? How could you better approach the situation next time? Do you regret it? If you could go back what would you have done differently? Etc…..

Jace looked at the paper with a confused exasperated look then turned to Alec who was next to him, "For the record, the only thing I regret is not knocking out a tooth," He huffed, "There should be more punishment for someone like him, there's nothing wrong with you and anyone who says differently will have to answer to me," Jace said, more to himself than Alec.

Alec just smiled at his parabatai's overprotectiveness, but also truly appreciated the reassurance, "Just don't write that on the sheet or else we'll never get out of here," he whispered to him.

"Eager to see the warlock?" Jace teased, he still called Magnus "the warlock" but in an endearing sort of way.

Alec playfully glared at him, "More like I don't want him to destroy the apartment," He shivered remembering last time he came home after one of Magnus' parties.

"No talking!" The teacher yelled and The boys went back to quietly lying on the paper.


"Magnus?" Alec called walking into the town house with Jace behind him. Alec could hear the shower running and he saw the party preparations in the living room.

"This looks exactly the same as your one in Brooklyn," Jace stated.

"Yeah, I noticed," Alec deadpanned, "You can get a drink or something, I'm going to go check on Magnus," Alec told him, praying he wouldn't bring up the fact that Magnus was in the shower.

But alas, it was Jace, "Oooh I get it, just keep it down would ya, I don't need nightmares,"

Alec blushed a deep red, "Jace!" He squeaked, his voice an octave higher, "Its not- I wasn't- we won't- ugh, forget it," Alec said finally, deciding not to give into his brothers antics.

"Use protection!" Jace yelled after him.

Alec gritted his teeth as he closed the bedroom door. He took a deep breath so he wasn't aggravated when he walked into the bathroom to greet Magnus.

"Hey Mags, its 4:30 and people are going to start showing up soon, you almost done?" He asked standing on the other side of the glass shower door, though it was too fogged up to see anything.

"Well, I was, but then you showed up…" he trailed off seductively.

"No, Jace is in the living room and you have people to entertain," Alec said, not even blushing at the insinuation, probably because he was still annoyed. Annoyed at Jace, annoyed at the detention teacher, annoyed at the guy who was taunting him, and annoyed at Magnus for inviting people over when all he wanted to do was curl up next to his boyfriend and pretend to watch a movie while he starred at him.

The water shut off and before he could do anything Magnus stepped out and hugged him. Alec was speechless for a moment, for this was a sweet gesture, but Magnus was completely naked and soaking wet. "Aahharg!" Alec made an un-shadowhuntery noise, pushing the laughing warlock off of him.

"Oh well, now I guess you will just have to change your clothes," He smirked, removing Alec's shirt. Alec let out a chuckle and rolled his eyes, this was the man he loved. They walked back into the bedroom, each going for their wardrobes to change.

After a few minutes, Magnus broke the silence, "I am sorry for not asking you first, and-" Magnus paused, vulnerability showing, "and for what those boys said earlier. You are the most precious thing I have ever had the honor to meet. And I get to call you mine, it's amazing to me sometimes. Alexander, you have touched my heart in a way I can not even begin to explain, you will always be a part of who I am from now on. I love you more than I could ever express and I will not let you go through anything alone," he finished, a tear streaming down his face. Alec had gotten closer to him during his speech and now put a hand up to his cheek to wipe away the salty liquid.

Alec smiled at the man who had made his life worth living, who had broken him out of his shell and helped to show him who he really was. "I love you Magnus, I didn't know I was capable of loving someone so much. What I have with Jace," he paused to think and Magnus was silent knowing that words did not come easy to him, "that was the closest thing to love I had before you, I assumed that I was in love with him because I didn't know what real love felt like until I met you, until you showed me. You accepted me, and you helped me accept myself, and for that, for loving me- I- I can't find the words to express how much you mean to me," He was breathing heavy and tears were rolling down his face, his clean shirt still in his hand. Magnus just smiled back at him and kissed him, relaying all of the emotions he wanted the other to know he felt.

"Hey, guys people are showing up-" Jace opened the door but stopped when he saw the shirtless boys kissing. He snorted, breaking them out of their moment, "Knew it!" Was all he said as he left the room.

"I'm sorry for him," Alec said, pulling on his shirt while Magnus snapped his fingers so he was dressed and his makeup was on. He was wearing black leather pants and a purple silk shirt with tons of rings, and necklaces. And glitter of course.

"No need to apologize, just... never give him a key," he joked.

"You think that would stop him?" Alec laughed, opening the door to find everyone standing awkwardly around the living room. Jace was just sprawled out on the couch with his feet up like he owned the place and every one of the glee kids was looking around their house. Once they both stepped out everyone turned and starred at them.

Magnus straightened up and smiled, "Shall we begin?"


I was going to write more but I wanted to give you the chance to give me more ideas for questions/games/plots for this game night. Thank you Shirsim for that amazing idea, so totally using that! Please give me some ideas! I'll try to post again on Wednesday after I get back.
