Another chapter, Yay! It took a while to figure out what the date would be. I'm not to keen on how it turned out but I rewrote so many times that this was the outcome.

Guess what? I GOT ACCEPTED INTO COLLEGE! I'm going to UNC Asheville!

Anyway, I hope like the chapter! READ ON!

After two days of planning, making sure this date was perfect, with Izzy being in charge of everything, it was finally ready. Alec, sitting on his bed in the outfit his sister picked out with his phone in his clammy hands, was waiting. Waiting for the clock to strike seven. Three minutes later, the small hand landed on the seven. He whipped his phone out and went directly to Magnus' contact to text him.

I'm on my way to pick you up. Are you ready?

I'm always ready. Do you know where I live?

I do, of course

Do I have myself a stalker? How exciting!

NO! I was at your party, remember?

Yes, I do remember. I'm only teasing. Lighten up, would you?

I'll be there in less than 10 minutes.

Alright, darling. Seen you soon!

A burning red erupted upon Alec's cheeks as he read the word 'darling' over and over. He shook his head, trying to wash the color from his face, which didn't do much, as he grabbed his keys and made his way to his door, closing it behind him. After a short walk through his dorm building and to his car, a GT Mustang, and starting it up. As he drove, he thought about how he finally gets to see Magnus after so long. Well, it's really been only a week but that's still a long time. He thought as he pulled up to Magnus' building, getting out and was about to walk into the building when the glass door opened revealing a very glamorous Magnus. Alec's breath caught in his throat while his eyes widened as they roamed his rather showy outfit.

Magnus was sporting a navy suit jacket pairing it with a black buttoned up shirt, only half of the button's open parading his tan bare chest. The rough, almost reptile pattern of his pants poses a stark contrast to the soft shirt and the chains on his belt and jacket. The outfit itself radiates with confidence if that is even possible. Compared to Alec's all black outfit, Magnus looked like he was ready for a party while he looked like he was going to fight someone. Magnus was also gazing at Alec's outfit that made him look so… yummy, although the color could be changed to a nice red. The muscle shirt attached to his chest displaying the rippling six-pack underneath whereas the tight jeans grabbed his round butt but not even that was the best part. The best part may have been the fact that over the shirt is a leather jacket, giving the bad-boy vibe every girl wants, or it may have been the curled bangs falling over Alec's luminous blue eyes, almost making Magnus want to jump him right then and there. Their long silence is broken by Alec.

"S-shall we?" His voice going up an octave before he coughed it away. Magnus nodded and they began walking to the car. Alec shuffled to the passenger side, opening the door for Magnus, who smiled at how cute the Lightwood is as he slid into the leather seats. What a gentleman. He thought. Alec shut the door behind him and ran over to the other side, opening the door, stepping in, and starting the car up. The drive was silent and uncomfortable for the first minutes before they began to relax.

"So, where are you taking me?" The excitement with a dash of curiosity clouded his voice as Magnus' golden-green eyes trained their gaze on the highly nervous driver.

"I c-can't tell you. It's a s-surprise." He stumbled while slowing the car to a stop at the red light, his icy blues focused on the road ahead

"Ooo, I love surprises." His sneaky hand reached out and grasped Alec's, that rested on the gear stick. The driver jumped at the warm, soothing touch just as the color upon his pale cheeks turned rosy red. "You are so cute." Magnus blurted out without thinking and the second the words escaped his free hand shot out to cover his mouth, he clearly wasn't expecting that. The Lightwood whirled his head around to look at the stylish man, his eyes the size of bowling balls and his mouth agape, he was about to say something back when the light turned green. He turned to face the road and began driving, the tension was heavy while the talking ceased. Shit, why did that? Now it's awkward. Magnus mentally screamed. His cat-like orbs drifted their hands, still clasped together and smirked. Oh, this is going to be fun.

They pulled up to the fanciest restaurant in New York, Taki's. The building itself is not all that elaborate, actually, it's quite the opposite. The only reason people come here is for the food. Alec climbed out of the car after parking and ran over to the passenger side, opening the door for Magnus. Necklaces clinked together as the cat-eyed man slides out, smirking as he did so. They make their way to the brownstone building, the red bricks lined with graffiti, and Alec once again opens the door for Magnus.

"After you," he said, catching his lower lip with his teeth, nibbling on it, trying not to let his obvious nervousness be known. His breath caught in his throat and Magnus wished those lustful lips were attached with his, in a very heavy makeout session, but alas it's not going to happen, yet.

"Alexander, darling, you do know I can open doors for myself. Thank you very much." He simpered, his kittenish (yes, that is a word and no, it does not have anything to do with kittens.) demeanor and coy smirk already spell disaster, they haven't even gone in yet. Briskly walking inside, followed by a flushed Alec, and stood by the empty hostess stand waiting to be seated. Only a few minutes passed by before a lady, looking to be in her mid-twenties with auburn hair and pale green eyes, ran up to the stand considerably out of breath.

Sorry! I was running late because my ex-boyfriend decided that today would be the day I grab all my shit from his crappy apartment. I didn't even have time to take a show…" She trailed off as eyes locked onto Alec, who really didn't want to hear her life story, and lust glazed over her eyes. Disregarding the fact that Magnus is there, she pushed her B cup boobs up and poking her rather flat butt out, she slowly catwalks over to him thinking she looked downright irresistible. So not true. This bitch actually thinks she's going to get him. Sucks for you whore, he plays for my team. The snark comment entered Magnus' thoughts as he watching the scene play out. "Well, hello there." Came her sultry voice while she encased her in-dire-need-of-a-manicure hands around Alec's bicep, pulling it so it's in the middle of her breasts. "What's your name?" His golden-green narrowed and just as he was about to break their contact, but Alec beat him to it. He drew his hand out from her grasp, taking a step away from her, and shaking his arm hoping to get rid of whatever she could have passed onto him.

"Yeah, I'm not interested, just escort us to our table." His icy cold words froze her as tears welled up in her eyes before running to the back. Magnus is astounded at how indifferent Alec is. Is he going to treat me like that? Plenty has. He thought before walking out the door they just came in from, ignoring Alec calling his name. "Magnus! Wait, where are you going?" The Lightwood rushed out behind him and grabbed his wrist, spinning him around.

"Let me go!" His eyes blazed as he glared at Alec, furiously trying to shake off his strong grip.

"You hate me." Softness and despair lined his voice. As he mentally beat himself up he loosened his hold on Magnus and took a step back. He cast his head toward the ground.

"What? N-" He tried to defend himself but was cut off. I just don't want to be hurt again.

"It's okay. You don't have to explain yourself." Those broken baby blues remained glued to the ground while Alec made his way to his car, sidestepping around Magnus. "At least let me drive you home." Without another word, he opened the door and slide in, waiting. For him. He did not open Magnus' door as he had done before. Magnus stood there, flabbergasted at Alec's reaction. Has he been through this before? He thought as he made his way to the car, getting in.

That was the awkwardest car ride either have been in.

It's been five minutes since they pulled up to his loft. Neither has made a move to get out or even look at each other. Magnus unbuckled and almost opened the door. Almost. Instead, he turned to face the silent, sulking Alec, scaring the hell out of him when he started talking.

"What's wrong?" Calm and collected is what his face shows while panic and worry are what he's feeling. They were supposed to be on a date. Getting to know each other. Laughing. Having fun. Are they? No. They're trapped in an enclosed space filled to the brim with tension. At the question, the Lightwood turned his head to gaze at the man. Cold blues met worried golden-green.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" His tone is same as back at the restaurant, unfeeling. Alec knew this was going to happen. He knew something bad was going to happen. But instead of trying to prevent it, he only made it worse. This was his first, and probably his last, date since the incident. He didn't want to end it this way but Magnus obviously hates him, if his reaction back at Taki's is any indication.

"Wrong? With me? Absolutely nothing! I'm fabulous!" He tried to joke but not even a twitch appeared on Alec's face. "What happened back there?" This is the second time he has seen a girl flirt with Alec. Not that he's not hot enough to flirt with, he is, but the way they looked is what is strange. Their eyes hazed over with lust, their voice became kinda dull, almost as if they were under some sorta spell. Which, he knows, is crazy.

"Nothing." He tried to brush it off, "It happens all the time." Just leave it alone. Please, don't ask any more questions.

"All the time?" Magnus was skeptical. Girls flirt with him all the time? Even though he's obviously gay? "You know, you didn't need to be so cold to her." Yes, that's right. What if he was next? What if Alec treats him the same way as them? It wasn't supposed to be like this. Nothing is worth any of this. This may be the end of us. He thought before sighing. Pity. This was going to be a fun show.

"I know, but they don't leave if I'm friendly. I know, trust me." He raked his fingers through his raven curls, a hefty sigh leaving his lips. He hopes they can work this out because even though their original date is ruined they can still do something. "I'm not going to act like that with you if that's what you're thinking. You're different."

That is exactly what the overly stylish man was, is, thinking. He doesn't know anything about Alec, a blue-eyed hottie he met at his own party.

"Different? How?" Magnus' heart shouldn't be beating this fast over one man but yet here it is, thumping up a storm. Shut up, heart. He commanded his ticker. It didn't listen.

"Well, unlike them, you don't get all gooey eyed when you look at me." Alec breathed out, a smile on his lips. "You're different. Special."

He has such a way with words. "Now, that we've established I'm different, what do you think we should do? You know since our date was ruined."

"Do over." Is Alec's immediate reply, which came tumbling out of those plump lips surprisingly fast as if he had been waiting for the question. Magnus chucked at the determined expression painting the Lightwood's face, turning back into his seat, his eyes still locked on Alec.

"Fine, but only one," He smirked before getting out of the car and walking to the empty park across from his loft. He didn't turn around when he heard a door open and close, he just continued onward. He eventually stopped at the old, rickety swings and climbed on, rocking back and forth. The one next to him jingled as Alec sat down. "Twenty questions?"

"What's your favorite color?" Alec asked in response, his bright smile lighting up his chiseled face. They talked all night until sunrise, then they went their separate ways, a permanent grin glued to their lips.

This is only the beginning of their rocky relationship. They have no idea of the problems that are to come.

The date I had in mind for this chapter was completely different then what happened but it still ended alright. Comment what you thought, please be honest! Look forward to the next chapter!

See you soon,
