To say Magnus was in a bit of a hurry was an understatement. He was rushing trying to get out of his office for a few hours now, but every time the thing he's done, one of his interns, or employees hit him with bad news after bad news, after bad news. He's just trying to get to San Francisco to support his fiancé, was that too much to ask?
Of course, it was, because he has to hold everyone's hand, and show them how to do their damn job! He's already been super stressed out with his fashion show coming up next week, on top of being at his fiancée playoff game. He wouldn't be stressed out if both events weren't on the same weekend. Magnus was working into overdrive to try and see if he could balance out his time.
Since news of Magnus and Alec's engagement, Magnus barely has time to visit his fiancé or pack up his house. It's all too much. Alec tries to help the best he could, but he has his own business to take care of and Magnus doesn't want to add any more pressure on him then he already has. They've been getting calls for interviews, and television appearances, but neither of them have the time for anything extra.
The kids are excited to leave LA and move to San Francisco. The only reason they would miss LA is that of the different dances classes they take almost every other night. But Magnus promised to take them back whenever he could, but for now, they would have to search for dance studios in San Francisco.
Surprising people took the news of their engagement well. They haven't received any backlash for it, and couldn't be grateful. If anything, the engagement boosted their careers even more. Which is why Magnus is currently running late to his fiancée playoffs game. He promised Alec and his kids that they would attend tonight's game no matter what, and having a photographer back out of a photo shoot at the last minute, did nothing to help his current situation.
"Is there anyone else we could call? Please, Zoe, tell me we have someone!"
Zoe visibly pales and shakes her head. Magnus groans, and slams his head on his desk hard enough to give him a headache. Of this issue wasn't for next month, Magnus would fucking cancel the entirely and reschedule. Normally this was Izzy's department, but she was kind enough to take his children to the game an hour ago after argued about missing Alec's warm-up routine. But Magnus knew they just wanted to see Alec again. The thought of it makes his heart jump out of his chest. It still shocking how his children quickly took to Alec, and him to them. Magnus knew he couldn't have picked a better choice for his children's stepfather. Hell, they already began calling Alec dad.
Magnus was brought out of his daydream by bother sound of his employees bicker back and forth, Magnus had enough of this for the night.
"Enough!" He shouts looking at his watch, seeing that he was now two hours late, and the game was starting soon. He curses under his breath and glares at the two women.
"Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to take these folders and fabric samples with me, and I'll work on them later tonight. When I return in the morning, I want studio B set up, if we still don't have a photographer by tomorrow morning, then I'll take the photos myself. Now if you two would please kindly get out of my face so I can go see my fiancé play one of the most important games of his career would be lovely."
They mutter "sorry boss" under their breath, and leaves his office quickly. Magnus gathers his belongings and makes his way up to the roof of his building, where the helicopter is waiting for him.

When Magnus arrived it was the beginning of the second quarter. Alec's security team escorted Magnus to his seat where his children and family members all hugged him and sighed in relief that he made it They kept telling him, Alec kept looking in the stands for him. That made Magnus upset because he would've been here sooner of her could.
Rafael and Max pulled Magnus to the side and filled him in on what's been going on so far and how their soon to be stepfather was performing.
"Dad has been doing amazing. It's like he's on another level tonight. We got to see the last of his practice, and then we hung out in the locker room. It was so cool! We got to meet coach Garroway and the players! Jace was cool, but he isn't my favorite player. He'll be a cool uncle though." Rafael says.
"Yeah, the splash brothers have been going off this game. You even missed when dad crossed up Chris Paul! The arena went nuts!" Max says happily.
Magnus chuckles at his boy's enthusiasm, then turned back to watch his man dominant on the court.
"Kyle kicks it out, corner. Lightwood three."
The oracle erupts in cheers and whistles. Alec throws up his signature sign. ? Then gets back into the game. He hasn't caught sight of Magnus yet, the game is intense at the moment, my best when they put the bench on the court, he'll notice Magnus' presence. For now all Magnus can do is cheer his fiancé on.
Alec has the ball and drives through two defensive players, the rim wide open for a reverse layup. He doesn't celebrate, he just gets back to work. The Clippers are guarding him like crazy, giving him no time to breathe, but Alec always finds a way to break free. When Jace is fouled, that's when they let Alec rest for a few minutes. Garroway whispers something in Alec's ear that makes him look up into the stands and smiles widely.
Luke gives him a minute to see his fiancé, but that's it. Alec thanks him, then signal for Magnus to meet him halfway. Alec's security team moves to keep the fans away from them while they speak for just a moment.
"What took you so long? You promised to be here for warm-ups."
"I know I'm sorry, work was a mess today and I had to fix everything. I promise I won't be late again. Forgive me?"
"Of course, I forgive you." Alec smiles. "I have to go now, but I'll see you and the kids after the game okay? Oh and get them something to eat please, other than candy."
Magnus nods then lean in to kiss his fiancé. The arena goes nuts for a minute. Phones out taking pictures of them kissing and looking into each other eyes. Their world shattered when the coach called for Alec to join the bench and rest for a minute. They say goodbye to each other, then go to their respected areas. Magnus new photos of them would be all over social media, but he couldn't complain about it one bit. He wasn't ashamed of his relationship with the NBA star. If anyone had a problem with their relationship they can shove their opinions up their asses. It's the 21st century, people need to get over LGBT relationships.
It was six seconds until halftime when Jace had the ball. He passed the ball to Alec- who shot from behind the halfcourt line and made it. Magnus and his family cheered so loud, their voices would be gone in the morning. The Warriors players cut a fool when Alec made that shot. They shouldn't be surprised seeing as Alec could do that in his sleep. The year still got hyped whenever he did something outrageous.
Seeing Alec celebrate with his team and the smile on his face made Magnus's heart swell. He's missed so much of Alec's life when he left for Paris all those years ago. Now he has time to make up for it, and he's never going to miss another day of his life. When the teams returned to their locker rooms, Magnus, Izzy, and Clary took the kids to get food before the second half of the game started.
"Kyle leads the break, out to Herondale for three...Bang!"
Alec stole the ball from Griffin and made a fast break to the rim. Crossing up every player that came in his way. They hounded him, trying to steal the ball back. Alec fakes out a few players, pulls up and shoots a three before the clock ran down. The crowd tonight was hype, making the Warriors feed off their energy.
The Warriors were beating the Clippers so bad, they started playing around on the court. It seemed like LA gave up during the fourth quarter. It was sad really, but it was a good game with Alec leading the scoreboard with 41pts, 5 steals, 9 rebounds. Followed by Jace and Kyle. All in all, it was a good night for the Warriors. They had a few days before their next game, so Alec was hoping to spend some time with his family before they leave.
Alec needed to talk with the kids and asked if they wanted to attend public school or private. It didn't really matter to him. He just wanted them to be happy with the move. They still had a lot of work to do at the house. The kid's bedroom/bathrooms needed to be painted, and furnished. No one saw Alec's new house yet since he just recently bought it and sold his old 4 bedroom house a few months ago.
Alec wasn't joking when he said he wanted to live with Magnus and the kids. He went out of his way and bought a 7 bedroom house, so they could have their own rooms. Alec promised the kids they could decorate their rooms however they wanted. He even had one of the spare bedrooms remodeled with bunk beds coming out of the wall so they could invite their friends over from school or have a family sleepover and all pile into one room and watch movies or the games together.
Alec and Magnus worried about their children being treated differently because of who their parents are. Some kids would be jealous of their livelihood and would try and bully them. Alec wasn't the one for bullying, so he made sure to search for martial arts classes in the area that the kids could attend to. He also looked into dance studios. When he heard the kids would be sad because they couldn't attend their favorite classes anymore. He did his best to find a studio that would have multiple choreographers every day or week. They would have to discuss that later.
The Warriors shook the Clippers players hands and joked about what happened on the court. They had press interviews to do, so they made it quickly towards the locker room, to shower and get changed. Alec's security team drove the family home, but Magnus stayed back wanting to be with fiancé. He was exhausted, and just wanted room sleep, but he remembered he had a lot of work to go over tonight. He was on a deadline and was already behind schedule thanks to his lazy/no good interns.
Izzy texted Magnus letting him know they made it to the house and are now safe and sound inside. Magnus knew the kids would be up waiting for him and Alexander to return, but Magnus didn't know how long press conference takes. The Warriors staff escorted Magnus into an office so he could wait for Alec to get done. He thanked them and pulled out the folders from his bag and go to work. He could work while waiting for his lover, and wouldn't have to worry about it once they get home.
An hour has passed when Alec walks into the room. Magnus just finished his last email and finalized on the fabric samples he wanted.
"Did I ever tell you, that you look sexy as hell when you are working?"
Magnus smirks mischievously.
"How about you prove it to me right here and now."
"Hmmm, don't tempt me. Plus we have a king size bed waiting for us to entertain it tonight, what do you say we get out of here?"
Magnus chuckles. "Hell yeah. I could go for that. It's been too long since I had you inside of me. I'm feeling a bit empty. Let's go. The kids should be asleep in the bed and our families are staying at hotels for the night, and I need to fly into work early tomorrow with the kids, so we better make up all night until we see each other again."
Alec thought about few things before voicing them. "Hey, could the kids stay with me tomorrow while you go LA? We have a few errands to run tomorrow, and I promised the lyrics could go. I'll drive them back myself. I'll take good care of them I promise. I miss them, and the distance is killing me. I hate not being around them, it hurts too much. Could you please let them stay out of school for one day? Pleaseeee" Alec pleaded.
Magnus couldn't say no to those beautiful hazel puppy eyes. Groaning Magnus nods. Alec explodes with happiness and attacks Magnus's face with kisses. They kiss for a few minutes before the assistant couch knocks on the door, needed his office back.
"Let's go home."
Sorry if this chapter sucks..
