Chapter Four

Alec POV:

By the end of the day, I was exhausted. I didn't know how demanding this job would be since I've never really had this type of job before. But the models were great, and Magnus was a great boss, so I was pretty pleased with my first day on the job.

I was packing up my equipment and so was Raphael when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I looked up and there stood Magnus. He toned down his style a lot since high school. Still flashy, but not as colorful. He looked good, I couldn't deny that.

"How was your first day?" He asked.

"It was good. A lot more demanding than what I'm used too, but I had a great time." I said and he nodded.

"This is your first studio job, am I correct?" He asked.

"Yea. I travelled a lot after college, and when this opportunity came up, and I was asked to join Alicante Studios, I wanted to try something new." I said and he nodded. "What about you? How did you end up here?" He asked.

"I graduated at the top of my class, and when I was applying for different jobs I didn't really know what I wanted to do exactly, but I knew I wanted it to be in fashion, and Marie Claire pretty much said that I could try a bunch of different paths within the company, and settle on whatever I choose. It was an intense year, getting to do a bunch of different jobs, but I found that I loved being in charge of photo shoots, and I also get a voice in their clothes if I notice that something looks weird or uncomfortable." He explained and I nodded. "And I've been happy here ever since."

"That's great." I said.

"Yo Alec, ready to go?" I heard Raphael call.

"One sec." I called back and he nodded and started leaving. "What time should we be here tomorrow?" I asked.

"It varies every day, depending on when we have to fit in a shoot, but tomorrow you can come in around 8-8:30." He said and I nodded. "I don't want to keep Raphael waiting."

"Yea, he gets a little antsy when I lollygag." I laughed and Magnus gave me a kind smile.

"How long have you two been…together?" He asked hesitantly and I couldn't contain my laughter.

"You think…..Raphael and I? Oh god that would be a nightmare." I laughed and Magnus let out a small and embarrassed laugh as well. "Raphael and I met a couple years ago traveling, and hit it off really well. As friends. He's kinda a douchebag to be honest, but everyone has their faults."

"I'm sorry I assumed." Magnus said and I smiled.

"It's okay. I'm more impressed that you guessed that I was gay if I'm being honest." I said and he smiled at me.

"Oh darling, I've known since high school." He said and I nodded.

"Yea, I guess you can't really hide who you truly are from others who are in the same boat." I said and he nodded.

"I'm glad you came out, and finally decided that being who you are was more important." He said and I nodded.

"It took some time, but I had a lot of support from Jace and Izzy." I said and he nodded.

"Yo, Lightworm, let's go!" Raphael called out.

"I should go. See you tomorrow Magnus." I said he nodded and I made my way to where Raphael was standing and we made our way out to the car.

"Next time, flirt on your own time. I have a date tonight." Raphael said and my face got a little red.

"I was not flirting." I said defensively. "And plus, he's my boss. That's super inappropriate."

"You were totally flirting." Raphael said and I rolled my eyes. "By the way, what time do we have to be in tomorrow?" He asked.

"Magnus said between 8 and 8:30. But it will vary depending on when photo shoots take place." I said and Raphael looked at me. "What?"

"Just the way you say his name. Magnus. You are totally into him." He said and I punched him on the arm.

"Shut up." I said and he started driving.

After Raphael dropped me off I went into my apartment, and my phone started ringing. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw that Izzy was calling me.

"What's up Iz?" I asked once I answered it.

"Hey, so I just got done rounds, and Jace just got out of court, and this is like the first time ever that we all have free time. Want to grab some late dinner?" She asked.

"Sounds great. I just got home. Where should I meet you?" I asked as I put my camera equipment down.

"Taki's." She said and I laughed.

"I should have known." I said as we hung up.

I finally got to Taki's and Jace and Izzy were already there. Jace was still in a fancy suit, and Izzy was in her scrubs. I hugged them both before taking a seat.

"So, how was your first day?" Izzy asked.

"You'll never believe who my boss is." I said.

"Who is it?" Jace asked.

"Magnus Bane." I said and their jaws dropped.

"You're shitting me?" They said in unison.

"Not even a little. He remembered me too." I said.

"Has he changed at all since high school?" Jace asked.

"He's not as colorful, but still very out there with some wardrobe choices, but I feel like it wouldn't be Magnus if he wasn't always pushing the limits of fashion." I explained and they nodded.

"What did you do today?" Izzy asked.

"A couple photo shoots. The models were all great. Magnus is really into breaking the norms of the fashion world. My models today were all under 5'5" and Raphael had models of all different body shapes." I said.

"That's cool." Izzy said. "I always thought it was weird that you needed to be a certain height, with a certain body shape, and a certain boob size. Like news flash, not every woman will fit that mold."

"Which is exactly why Magnus wants the break that stereotype." I said.

"How long are you there for?" Jace asked.

"I'm not sure. I wasn't given a time line, so I just assume until they don't need us anymore." I said and they nodded.

"Well, I just got done a 12 hour round, and I'm starving." Izzy said and we all laughed.

"When aren't you starving?" Jace said and Izzy punched him.

"Bite me Jonathan." And just like that, everything was back to the way it used to be.

Sneak Peak for Chapter Five:

"What can I do for you?" I asked.

"I didn't really know who to talk to about this, but I forgot some medicine at home, and Jace offered to bring it to me, but I didn't know if he could just walk in here." He said.

"I'll tell Camille, and she'll guide him here." I said and he nodded.

"Thank you." He said before walking back to where Raphael and Clary were sitting. Her shoot got pushed earlier so she was just hanging around the studio until it was here time. I pulled out my phone and called Cam.
