AN-

It's basically been 2 years, and the feedback I still get is overwhelming feedback so I'm hoping to get each chapter out a time as I loved writing and it's seemed to have taken a back seat lately in my life. The late nights didn't deal very well. Somehow I have some time on my hands who knows for how long. But while I have it Immmma use it. Hope I surprise some of ya old fans and the feedback really is motivating. So I'm trying to give something back.

Magus POV

6:52pm

Picnic. Check. Blanket. Check. I looked up into the rear-view mirror. Make up. On point. Red light. RED LIGHT!

"SHIT" cue the slamming the breaks, and then horns blasting in the background. "Fuck off it's not like they have a date with someone who is their boyfriend but one slip up and it's finished for me." Wait why am I, waiting for answer. No one's here. I supress a groan as I realised Mr Blue eyes is making me lose my cool confident style.

Pulling into the Lightwoods gate finally without another incident and punching in the numbers 2342 for passage to open, the drive suddenly looked a lot longer and the castle like house looked a lot more intimidating, I could feel my palms start to sweat. Parking my car up, I started to walk up the stairs to the two wooden doors. My hand just hovering above the solid knocker as I heard a squeal on the other side of the door. Then suddenly I saw Izzy's manicured arm pull open the door slight but not before she disappeared with a thud.

"GET OFF ME ALEC" her flapping had managed her to kick the door open more when I saw Alec attempting to drag Izzy away from the door.

" . . !" With each pause Alec seemed to pull the flailing girl back a pace, I didn't mind too much as I saw the arms flex with each pull. That's when I realised the boys arms were out! Not hiding behind some shaggy sweater or blazer. And I liked the view. The cold air snapped me out of googly eyes luckily the person I had be eyeing up was occupied, so with a soft laugh I stepped inside and closed the door behind myself.

"Fine! Fine! I'll go! But you sir, you owe me." Izzy rose up from the fall and shrugged off of Alec's arms before flouncing up the stairs. Of course being Izzy she dramatically leaned over the banister and gestured to us both that she would be watching us.

Alec POV

I didn't even want to think what shade my face was, Magnus wasn't meant to see me ambush my sister from the door before she had time to embarrass me or open her trap. But instead because the Raziel is working against me it was just my luck that the door had opened the same time I leaped across the hallway to my mischievous imp of a sister. Then the door open and the boy. My boyfriend. That still sounded weird in my head.

"Right. Well. Anyway. You know how Izzy is…" I started I could already tell my nerves will be the death of me tonight and I'm hoping Magnus doesn't want me that was at the club the other night.

"That I do," He purred at me from the door, "So you ready blue eyes?"

"I guess so," That's when Magnus's confident facade broke and he just swore under his breathe, "Magnus what's up"

"I left the picnic in the car…" He laughed to himself as we both slipped out the door. The silence was surprisingly comfortable as he opened his car doors bent into his car. That's when I took time to appreciate what he was wearing his normal style was toned down just a simple green top and brown trousers. The trousers were still Magnus level of tight though. I zoned out looking at a certain firm behind.

"Alec are even listening?" I heard a muffled Magnus snap me out of it before I gingerly replied.

"Yeah sorry I was in a different world."

He unfolded himself out of the car holding a petite weave basket and white and red checker blanket. "I realised how big your garden was and we could probably find a private spot rather than venturing out into the town. I mean we can if you want to? Oh I'm babbling again but you get the picture,"

"Yeah I can take you somewhere, Izzy can't spy on us there." I kept seeing little chunks of nerves from Magnus so at least I wasn't the only one that was nervous. I quickly ran up the steps to a light switch near the doors, flicking it down I saw as one by one fairy lights which littered the tree's lit up.

"Were you planning that the date would be here" Magnus chuckled it, "It's so beautiful,"

"Noooo I didn't but we just have the lights for decoration from last Christmas but no one bothered to take them down so they kinda stuck." We walked for a while talking about last Christmas and how Ragnor had apparently eaten all of the Brussel sprouts on a dare (he liked the colour not the taste) and how Raphael had tried making everyone say grace. Its strange how last Christmas Magnus spent it with Ragnor and Raphael…

"How about we go in there? It's normally my quiet space but I don't mind sharing it this once," I pointed to a white painted band stand that was in the middle of the clearing. Magnus nodded as he skipped up the steps and laid the blanket down before bowing before me.

"Monsieur would you like to sit" His French accent was surprisingly good as he gave be a goofy wink as I sat.

"What did you do for Christmas last year?" He asked while pulling out an overwhelming amount of food from the small basket.

"Not much really, I was ill for Christmas so I was quarantined to my room – it was really contagious. So I think we just had family round." I didn't like lying to Magnus but it seemed easier and less complicated than explaining it on the first date.

"That sucks… well moving on from that how would you like some food?" Magnus gestured to little plates of tomato pasta and salad he'd set out.

After while we had stuffed bellies from the seemingly three course meal he'd managed to pack. It was sooo delicious as well. Small talk about school and friends and the events of the first week at school took up the reminder of picnic.

9:20pm

It had started to rain ever so slightly.

"It's starting to rain we should probably move," Magnus said what I was thinking. He was gazing out into the garden. In this light I could see the golden tints and greens in his eyes and the tone of his skin the shade of caramel which made his eyes still more un earthly than before.

"Magnus…" His head whipped back to me.

"Yes Alexander?" The way my full name sounded on his tongue, normally people using my full name is a no no but he could say my name all night long.

"Where are you from? You don't seem to fit in with New York."

"I don't know whether to be flattered or insulted," He laughed, "But I'm from Asia but I've lived in many places,"

"Do you want to come inside? Izzy would have gotten bored by now stalking all of the windows. And the only window from here is my room."

Magnus POV

Alec pointed up through the trees and rain to show a dome like building which looked slightly out of place. But no window in sight.

"So how are we going to get there?" I pondered looking in disdain that rain is going to ruin my hair. I met Alec's eyes again, he really shows any emotion in those eyes I could read him like a book page by page. It felt intimate. Breaking away from those eyes I could see the blush rising to his cheeks as he realised he was under a microscope. Nervously getting up to his feet shifting his balance to one foot to another offering a hand down to me - from this angle I could really see how tall he was if only he straightened his slouch. Grabbing the hand I stood face to face with him. Only millimetres from him from this distance I could tell he was shivering slightly. He leaned in slightly I could feel each breathe out and I froze. He is my boyfriend. I can kiss him? Or am I not allowed? How does one take it slow? I just want to crash him against me or cradle him till my heart bursts… But how do I ask him. I probably looked like a deer in the headlights, I nearly missed the mischievous smirk that had replaced my blue eyed boys face. Before he pulled me in with a hand on my shirt and just whispered in my ear, my eye's bugged out as he said "Run or your hairs going to get flat"

Then my so called angel shoved me into the rain with a bark of laughter and bolted in the direction to the front of the house.

"ALEXANDER DON'T YOU DARE RUN FROM ME," I spluttered for once ignoring the rain drenching me like I had just jumped into a pool. Something else took over me then as I took out my phone and clicked a picture of Alec with a face full of glee, smiling a million watts in the rain over his shoulder at me. Idea's for the Vis project maybe. Before he disappeared round a corner.

I had cursed my lack of fitness about 20 times I had reached the front of the house with Alec towelling his hair and handing me one to as I hopped through the threshold ,hip bumping the door closing it behind us.

"Up to my room?" Alec offered so innocently tucking his towel around his neck. I just nodded as he led me up the stairs. As soon as we were on the higher floor there was music think in the air like an atmosphere. "Ignore the music Izzy's into a new band at the minute."

"Isn't that Stanley's and Jordan's band," It wasn't even a question everyone had noticed Izzy's sudden infatuation with the band. It's not even that it's a good band just average.

"I couldn't tell you if I knew, I never have heard of their music." Alec gestured to me to go up some stairs in the corner, I had to bow my head slightly up the stairs till opened up to too circular room with a walk in wardrobe I would die for and an ensuite. Alec ducked his head into the room as well. "Welcome to my humble home."

"It seems a bit plain," I didn't want to sound rude but there was no colour really just greys the only colour was the yellow of the post it notes that seemed to cover the whole wall where the bed was.

"Wait till you see this though, come sit here." He pointed for me to go sit on the bed while, he semi ran across the room to a panel, "Close your eyeeees."

I heard a room and mechanically clang then the bed shift next to me as Alec sat close to me his hand a millimetres from mine. "You can open them now," He said softly as he laid back onto the bed.

The room had been lit up by the moonlight when I realised two thirds of the wall had opened to glass to show the moon high in the sky and the stars dancing across the sky. "It's stopped raining at least. What do you think?"

"It's wonderful! It reminds me off Peru…" I drifted off as I Iay down next him. I felt the weight move as I assumed Alec got up to walk across the room towards his wardrobe he shook his top off over his. Holy shit he's got a torso of a god. All porcelain and toned… completely flawlesss, his ears turned pink as he turned round slowly.

"Sorry I was getting into warm clothes, you can borrow some to if you wanted." My brain was too frazzled to understand what happened next but I guess he took my silence as a yes as he through a royal blue sweater and some black jeans.

"Hey this one doesn't have many holes in," I teased as he made his way over in new clothes.

"Ha Ha very funny, look it's warmer than that soggy top, and look outside the window it's stopped raining." He laid down on the far side of the bed looking up to the sky. I took that cue for me to quickly shrug on the dry sweater. It smelllled like pinewood and well Alec… With a small smile I crawled over to him and laid my head on his chest, he tensed up slightly at first, his heart going ten thousand beats a minute. Afraid I was scaring the poor boy I went to move next to him when his arm cupped round my back to waist keeping me there.

"If you look directly up and you can see three stars in a row, that's Orion's belt," Alec spoke ever so softly as his arm pointed upwards while his other drawing circles on me absently. "He's a Greek huntsman who somehow ended up being left in the stars, in my opinion I don't think he deserved it…"

"Someone's a bit of a history freak," I teased slighty jabbing him in the side, "I can't really make out the outline of him though… Are you sureee you aren't just leading me on?"

11:43pm

Me and Alec decided after a few hours of star gazing and a history lecture. One of the best lessons of my life. I decided it was probably best if I headed off, politely declining to stay the night, I don't think my self-restraint would have behaved against that sleepy smile and deep talk snuggles. Alec had fallen asleep about 30 minutes ago, before I left him with a kiss on the forehead as he partly woke up to say where the key was before turning on his side. I don't even think he had properly woken up.

The drive home was quiet as the streets were empty before pulling up outside our apartment. Putting the keys in the door I zombie walked in making a bee line for my bedroom. Not before someone flicked the light on to see Raphael, Ragnor and Cat sitting smugly on the couch.

"So howww did it go?"

"Was he nice?"

"Did you do anything?!"

"Back you foul beasts and let me to my room," I threw my shoe in their direction ignoring the terrorised screams before taking my leave to my room. My phone pinged as I collapsed into bed.

I like the natural Magnus as well as the sparkles. Gn x

That night I wondered if my smiles could get any bigger not bothering to take off the royal blue sweater.

AN - I'm not happy with this chapter but I guess thats cuz I haven't been writng for a while but keep getting back into the groove of writing so hopefully it wont suck so much...
