Day's three and four were skipped because I didn't like how my stories were turning out. I don't know alot about the middle ages or greek mythology. If i'm not into what i'm writing about then I can't write it.

I have the rest of the days done though so yay for that.


Malec Week 2017- Day 5- None Supernatural AU: Blind Date AU

Alec Pov- "How did I let you talk me into this," I sighed into the phone while looking through the window of the fancy restaurant. My sister scoffed on the other end of the call and if I know her, she was also rolling her eyes at me.

"Alec Lightwood, I went through a lot of trouble getting you this date. You better not back out after all the work I've done," Isabelle yelled, making me pull the phone away from my ear. "I don't remember asking you to set me up on a date at all Isabelle."

My little sister and adoptive brother Jace thought it would be a good idea to make me an online dating profile. Not any kind of dating profile, one of those ones that you know absolutely nothing about the other person. So here I was going on a blind date with someone who could very well be an ax murderer.

"How am I supposed to know who I'm meeting anyway? It's not like I've ever seen a picture of this guy," I sighed, rubbing my eyelids tiredly. "He gave you a description over email. Just look for a guy with tan skin, black hair and greenish gold eyes."

I raised an eyebrow at that. "I don't think greenish gold is an actual eye color." "I don't know but if you see someone with that description, go up to him and asking him if he's Glitterbomb247."

That username made me groan every time she said it. "Why would you set me up on a date with someone with a username like that? Now that I think about it, what username did you give me? I should know what he is going to call me."

"Jace wanted your name to be SweatersForDays263 but I decided on Archerboy2873." A sigh escaped my lips as I shook my head. "Both those names are stupid but I guess yours is better than the one Jace wanted."

I went back to looking through the window and someone sitting in the corner caught my attention. He had tan skin and black hair like the description. He seemed to be around the same age as me and he was dressed in black jeans, a crimson dress shirt, and a brighter red blazer on top.

He looked at his reflection in his spoon before glancing around as if waiting for someone. Perhaps he was waiting for me? I backed away from the window, holding the phone tighter in my hand. "Isabelle I think I see him and he's way out of my league. He's gorgeous and I'm just… me."

"Alec, you don't give yourself enough credit. You are drop dead gorgeous so don't start having self-doubt now." I looked down at my feet frowning. "That's hard to do when everyone in your life always goes for your handsome younger brother instead of you."

"Listen Alec, I didn't stretch the truth in your dating profile. I did the best to put down every answer you would put down yourself. The computer matched you up with this guy so there must be a reason. Go in there and give dating a chance. What's the point of 'coming out' if you never get a boyfriend?"

"I suppose your right," I sighed glancing back at the window. "I'm always right Alec. Now I'm going to hang up. Go in there and get yourself a man. I'll be rooting for you so make sure to call me after and tell me how it went."

With that, she hung up the phone leaving me alone with my rapidly beating heart and panic. I put my phone in my pocket, taking a couple soothing breaths before making my way into the restaurant. The hostess smiled brightly at me as I walked up to her. "Welcome sir, dinner for one?"

I licked my dry lips, wondering what I should say to her. I don't know my dates name and I'm not even sure if that guy over there is even the right guy. "I'm here to meet a blind date. Was there anyone else who fits that description?"

Her smile seemed to get brighter if that was even possible. "Yes of course, this way" she gushed happily. She grabbed a menu before leading me toward the back where the guy I saw through the window was sitting. I could feel my face burn up as we got closer to him. Of course, my blind date would be someone completely out of my level.

When we stopped in front of the table, the guy looked up at us and stood up smiling at me. "Are you Archerboy2873?" I nodded trying to ignore the way his voice made my knees feel weak. It was smooth and deep, just the way I liked it. He was even handsomer up close. His skin looked so soft and his eyes really were greenish gold. I didn't notice it from far away, but now that I was standing in front of him, I could see that he was wearing eyeshadow the same shade as his shirt. There was also glitter… well, everywhere. That explains the screenname.

"Yes I am. You must be GlitterBomb247?" He nodded smiling at me and his smile was dazzling. I found myself wanting to swoon just from how beautiful that smile was. "Yes, but you can call me Magnus. Magnus Bane," he said holding his hand out to shake mine.

I put my hand in his, shaking it as I looked in his eyes. "My name is Alexander Lightwood but everyone calls me Alec." His smile grew at the mention of my name. "Is it alright if I call you Alexander?" "Um… I guess it's alright. Normally only my parents call me that."

He shrugged, moving to the other side of the table and pulling my chair out for me. I thanked him before sitting down and allowing him to push me closer to the table. The waitress looked between us with a huge grin plastered across her face. "Is there something I can get for you to drink?"

Magnus looked at her thinking before looking back at me. "How does red wine sound?" I nodded thinking wine sounded great. I will definitely need some wine to loosen me up. If not, I'll be a bundle of nerves and blow this whole thing.

The waitress nodded walking away and Magnus watched her before looking at me, resting his chin on his hands smiling. "So, Alexander, tell me a little bit about yourself." It was weird hearing someone besides my parents call me that. When Magnus says it, it makes little chills go throughout my body.

"Oh, um, I'm not that interesting" I mumbled, looking down at the table cloth. 'Good job Alec, ruin this date before it even starts' I mentally chastised myself.

"That can't be true. There must be something interesting about you. Your screen name is archer boy, right? Does that mean you like archery?" I nodded glancing back up at him. "Yes actually, I shoot arrows for a living. I'm on a team that has performed all over the world. I was also in the Olympics as well last year. I brought home silver in Archery."

Magnus stared at me stunned and I glanced away frowning. "I know, it's nothing very interesting. Besides archery I don't really do anything else."

He shook his head. "Wait, wait, wait. You call going to the Olympics and winning a silver medal uninteresting? I'd like to know what you think is interesting if that's the case."

I blushed now just feeling embarrassed. It's hard for me to accept that things I do can be interesting. Isabelle and Jace tried to convince me that winning silver was amazing but that's not what my coach/father told me. He told me that if I don't win gold, then I didn't really win.

"My father told me that silver isn't good enough. I didn't win gold so I'm not really a winner. I must agree with him. I aim to be the best at what I do and I wasn't the best." This caused Magnus to frown at me. "Well that doesn't sound nice. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself."

I shrugged, going back to looking at the table cloth. "My father raised me to be perfect. I let him down when it comes to being straight, so archery is pretty much all I have left to make him proud."

I frowned, surprised that I said that to a stranger. I haven't even talked about that with Isabelle or Jace yet here I am, talking to a stranger about things that bother me. Glancing up at Magnus, I could see that he was still frowning at me.

"So, your dad isn't supportive of your sexuality," he pushed, sitting up straight in his seat. I glanced away still frowning. "Um… well I don't really know to be honest. He says he is okay with it but I don't think that's true. Whenever my sister talks about me getting a boyfriend when he's around, he usually leaves the room."

"I see, well I'm sorry you have to deal with stuff like that."

I looked back at him curiously. "what about your family? What do they think of you being gay?" Right after the question escaped my lips, I groaned putting my face in my hands. "I'm sorry, that's a really personal question and I'm just some random guy you met online. You don't have to talk to me about any of this."

"Hey, I just asked you a personal question so it's only right that you ask one right back. I really don't mind answering. Technically I'm Bi and both my parents are dead. They died when I was young so they never got to know about my sexuality. I grew up living with my best friend Ragnors family and they didn't care about who I wanted to date."

"Sorry about your parents," I mumbled, feeling like an idiot for making him talk about it. He shrugged, smiling at the waitress as she walked back up and poured us each a glass of red wine. The moment she put my glass down, I grabbed it and gulped it down.

Magnus chuckled slightly before looking back at the waitress. "You might want to leave the bottle here." She nodded putting it on the table and I stared at Magnus wide eyed. "There's no need to buy a whole bottle of wine. That's expensive."

He swiped a dismissive hand my way smiling. "Don't think anything of it. I like wine and will be wanting more than one glass." I nodded before going back to drinking my wine, a lot slower this time. Our waitress smiled, pulling out a little notebook and a pen. "Have you both decided what you want to eat?"

Magnus nodded holding up his menu. "I want the lasagna." She wrote that down before smiling at me, waiting for my order. I bit my lip, looking down at the menu. I was so focused on not making a fool of myself (which I totally failed) that I didn't bother looking for what I wanted to eat.

"I'll have the same as him," I mumbled, handing her my menu. She took both menus smiling before turning and walking away. Magnus laughed, "I guess I should have given you more time to look at what you wanted to eat. I've been sitting here awhile so I had more time to look."

Hearing him talk about waiting a long time caused me to frown. "I'm sorry, did I leave you waiting for a long time?" He shook his head. "It's not your fault. I was in the area a little sooner than expected so I decided to show up early. I work close by so it was better than going all the way home to Brooklyn, just to come back here an hour later."

"You work in the area," I asked, thinking work was a great topic of conversation. He nodded, his face brightening up at the thought of work. "I'm a professor at the Fashion Institute down the road. It's so much fun helping young people find their potential."

"That sounds amazing. I tried being an archery instructor once but I quickly learned that I wasn't meant to be a teacher. It takes a special kind of person to be able to help people."

Magnus seemed surprised by this. "I would have pegged you as a natural teacher. You seem like the kind of person that would be easy to work with." I shook my head no at that. "My adoptive brother Jace is a lot more outgoing than me. I'm too awkward to tell people what to do."

"I guess I can see that. You do seem to be a little timid," Magnus agreed, making me feel a little defeated. I was hoping that he wouldn't notice how incompetent I am. To my surprise though, a smile was still on his face. "To tell you the truth Alexander, I think your timid attitude is adorable."

"Well you would be the only one," I say, feeling shocked that he said that. Everyone is always telling me how I need to change myself. That also goes for my timid personality. All my life I've never been good enough for anyone, yet this guy I just met seems to like me just fine.

"W-what else do you like besides your job," I questioned nervously. I was suddenly hit with the urge to know as much as possible about this guy. When was the last time I wanted to be on a date with someone?

"Hmm, well I do more than just teach fashion. I also own the night club down the street. Have you ever heard of it? It's called Pandemonium."

That surprised me. Isabelle and Jace were always talking about that night club. They've been bugging me to go with them but I always refused because it wasn't my thing. "I've never been there but I have heard of it. My brother and sister love the place."

This seemed to make him happy. "If you're interested I'll take you sometime. Being the owner gives you and anyone you bring with you VIP treatment. Do you like dancing?"

I bit my lip, shaking my head no. "Well… I don't know really. I've never been dancing. My sister always wants me to go with her but I always find a reason why not to go." "You just haven't gone with the right person. Come with me and I promise you will have the time of your life. Dancing with a sexy man beats dancing with your sister any day," Magnus chimed smirking.

Another blush appeared on my face which just made Magnus smile more. I glanced away from him clearing my throat before looking back at him. "Well… if it's you then I guess I won't mind a little dancing. However, I don't know how I feel about going to a crowded club."

Magnus thought that over for a moment before looking over at his wrist watch. I watched him frowning, wondering if he was checking the time to see how much longer he should deal with me before making up an excuse and leaving.

"It's seven right now. Every Friday the community center has a small dance party going on. It starts at eight if you want to go with me. We can start off small by dancing there first."

I was surprised by this invitation. "You really want to go dancing with me?" He nodded smiling, "of course I do. I think it would be a lot of fun, don't you?" I bit my lip, glancing away. "Not if I make a huge fool of myself."

Magnus reached across the table, putting his hand on top of mine, making me look up at him again. "I promise I won't let you make a fool of yourself Alexander. You're going to be amazing at dancing, I can just tell."

"Well if you think I can do it then the least I can do is try," I say softly, trying to stop another blush from taking over my face. I must have failed at that because Magnus had that big smile on his face again. His smile really was dazzling.

Our dinner soon came and it was the best lasagna I ever had. The ricotta cheese just melted in your mouth and the sauce was fresh and delicious. After eating that and having three glasses of wine, I was starting to feel a little calmer. It didn't help that Magnus was just so damn easy to let your guard down around.

I talked to him about so many things that I've never talked to anyone about. How I discovered I was gay, my small short lived crush on my adoptive brother, and how my father first reacted when I told him I was gay. He acts like my being gay isn't a big deal now, but at the time he got so mad that he started breaking glass and screaming at me at the top of his lungs.

He talked to me too about his childhood and what it felt like to lose his parents. He said he was only ten when it happened and he felt a little guilty because he barely remembered them. His friend Ragnor and his parents were his family and that's how he saw it.

Once we left the restaurant we made our way down the street toward the community center. I've never been there before so I let Magnus lead the way as I looked around at the night life of the city.

Magnus' hand slipped into mine and he entwined our fingers, making me feel another blush coming on. I squeezed his hand in return, trying to look away from my feet but it seemed that was the only thing my eyes wanted to focus on.

"You're really adorable Alec," Magnus laughed, using my nickname for the first time tonight. It sounded nice but it didn't send chills up my spine like him saying Alexander did. "My sister says that all the time. She says I'm too shy and socially awkward for my own good. Guys aren't supposed to be adorable though."

"Says who? I for one love adorable guys. They are the ones you should truly cherish." I glanced up at him and smiled slightly when I saw him looking at me. He smiled back and stopped us in front of an old looking building. "Well we're here, are you ready for your first dance lesson?"

"As ready as I'll ever be," I answered, letting him pull me inside. The moment he opened the door, I could hear old music that was popular when my parents were my age. The reason for this being that everyone on the dance floor was in their early forties to late sixties.

I gave Magnus an incredulous look and he just chuckled at my reaction. "You said you wanted to start off slow and easy Alexander. This is as slow and easy as it's going to get."

People watched us as we passed them. A group of old ladies were giggling about how adorable we were together as Magnus stopped in the middle of the dance floor. I looked around me again before looking up at his face. "Magnus, we are the youngest people here."

He shrugged smiling down at me. "Just because these people aren't young doesn't mean they don't know how to move. I used to come here with Ragnors mother all the time since her husband and son wouldn't bother with it."

"My mother wouldn't be caught dead in a place like this," I mumbled looking around again. Magnus used his index finger to push my face back toward him. Once my eyes were on his, he grabbed my arms, moving them around his neck before he placed his own arms around my waist.

There was no music playing now, and just when I was about to point it out, the DJ started playing Dancing Queen from ABBA. Groaning, I laid my head back trying not to laugh. "Seriously? They decide to play the gayest song in the history of the world?"

Magnus laughed moving his hands from my waist, to grab both of my hands. "Are you kidding? I love this song." "I don't know it," I lied making Magnus gasp obnoxiously loud. Normally I would find that annoying but on him it was adorable.

"Lies! I call lies on you Alexander! There is no one in the history of the world who doesn't know this song. Come on sing it with me," he beamed, leaning his head back and singing along to the song.

I shook my head watching as he swayed his hips to the music. He entwined our fingers, forcing my arms to move back and forth with him. Laughing, I shook my head at him, refusing to sing along with him.

"Come on Alexander, sing with me! Friday night and the lights are low! Looking out for a place to go!" I shook my head no, not able to stop the laughter escaping my lips. Magnus smirked at me, holding my arm up twirling me until I had my back to him and he wrapped his arms around me.

"Where you hear the right music, getting in the swing! You come to look for a king!" I shook my head no again laughing as Magnus laid his chin on my shoulder, holding me close as he swayed back and forth with me. "Come on Alexander, I know you know the words."

I rolled eyes smiling before finally sighing and giving into his demands. "Anybody could be that guy. Night is young and the music's high." Magnus's smile grew as he twirled us around again, singing, "with a bit of rock music, everything is fine! You're in the mood for a dance! And when you get the chance!"

I laughed shaking my head again before letting go and just belting out the song with him, not even caring about how it makes me look anymore. "You are a dancing queen, young and sweet! Only Seventeen! Dancing queen! Feel the beat from the tambourine oh yeah!"

Magnus leaned into me smiling singing, "You can dance!"

I leaned back into him singing, "you can jive!"

And we both busted out laughing as we sang together, "Having the time of our lives! Oooo!"

We both stopped singing, too busy laughing to be able to get the words out anymore. "I told you, you knew the song. I don't know why you thought you could lie about it." I rolled my eyes at that. "Of course, I know the song. Every gay man alive knows that song."

"That's why you shouldn't have bothered to deny it. This song is a master piece and there should never be any shame felt from singing it." I smiled at him, searching his gorgeous eyes that were looking back at me. "Whatever you say."

His smile grew as he started to sway with me again. "Well Alexander, you have been dancing this whole time and I say you're amazing at it." I blushed, looking down at my feet. "That's only because I wasn't thinking too much about it."

He shrugged smiling "I appreciate someone who tries new things, even if it makes them uncomfortable. I think you're a natural and will do great on our next date at my club."

Shocked by his words, I looked back in his eyes. "Are you saying that you want to go on another date with me?" He seemed confused by my question, like it was obvious that he would want to have a second date with me. In my experience, I never get asked out on a second date. Then again, I've never had this much fun on a date before.

"I would love for us to have a second date. Don't you," Magnus asked causing me to nod my head quickly. "Yes! I mean, um I also would like a second date. I'm having a lot of fun on this one and I don't want it to end."

I bit my lip, surprised that, that came out of my mouth. It was further proof that Magnus made me feel comfortable around him. When I feel comfortable around someone, I tend to be blunt and speak what's on my mind. Jace is usually the recipient of that and it isn't always positive.

"I don't want this date to be over either," Magnus sighed before looking at his wrist watch. "Sadly, it's going to have to soon. I have an early class in the morning and I still have to get my lesson all together."

That made me laugh slightly. "Isn't a teacher supposed to have all his lessons planned out days in advance?" He smirked, winking at me. "On the contrary Alexander. All the best teachers do everything the night before. The even better ones let the kids watch a movie through the length of class. Sadly, for me, my class doesn't like visual learning. They are a hands-on group so I need to come up with something for them to make."

I frowned slightly not wanting this date to be over so soon. I can't even remember the last time I enjoyed somebodies company this much. "When will I be able to see you again?"

Magnus watched me silently before grabbing my hand again and entwining our fingers. "How about this Friday? I'm free and don't have a class the next day so as long as you are free, it's perfect."

"I don't have any training on the weekends so Friday is perfect. I'm putting my trust in your hands and letting you take me to your club. I hope it's everything you claim it to be." "Believe me, it is Alexander. Come on, I'll walk you out and help you try to catch a cab."

Squeezing our still entwined hands, I walked out of the community center and onto the busy sidewalk of New York City. "It's a shame we could only stay around for one dance. I was starting to like this place," I praised looking up at it. Magnus smiled looking up at it as well. "If our second date goes as good as this one did then we can come back here for our third."

I nodded in agreement and Magnus nodded before holding his hand up, trying to call a taxi for me. Magnus lived in Brooklyn so he would need to take the subway to get home. My apartment isn't too far from here so a short taxi ride is good enough for me. No doubt Isabelle and Jace have snuck into my place and are waiting to gang up on me with questions.

"Taxi!" Magnus yelled trying to get the attention of the cab but no one was stopping. He frowned putting his hand down. "I'm normally a lot better at this." "Don't worry, I got this" I answered before putting my free hand to my mouth and whistling loud. Two taxis stopped in front of us making Magnus stare at them in surprise.

"When you spend your whole life in New York, you learn a thing or two." I bragged, signaling for one of the taxis to go before I walked up to the remaining one. Magnus followed and opened the car door for me once we got to it. I put my hand on the top of the door, looking back at Magnus and meeting his eyes one more time.

"I had a great time Magnus. Thanks for such an amazing date." Magnus shook his head smiling. "I should be the one thanking you Alexander. I will be looking forward to this Friday." I opened my mouth to agree but was surprised when Magnus pressed his lips against mine.

The moment our lips touched, every nerve in my body felt electric. My lips were fuzzy and I swear I could hear fireworks. I kissed him back, pushing my lips firmly against his as I put my hand that wasn't on the taxi door on his shoulder.

We probably would have stood there kissing forever but the impatient cabbie cleared his throat, snapping me out of the blissful haze. I glanced back at him embarrassed before looking back in Magnus's eyes.

Magnus was smiling from ear to ear and he leaned in, kissing my cheek before moving away from the cab. "I'll see you this Friday Alexander. Send me your phone number through email."

I nodded, biting my lip to hide the giddy smile trying to make its way on my face. Once I got in the cab, Magnus closed the door and I watched him out the window until he was out of sight. After telling the cabbie where my apartment was, I let myself fall back against the seat with a loving sigh.

As if psychic, my phone started ringing and the caller ID showed that it was Isabelle. I answered the phone, putting it to my ear and saying in a dreamy voice, "hello?"

There was a moment of silence before Isabelle answered back. "Wow, this date must have gone really good if you're talking like that. How far away are you from your apartment? Jace and I are here waiting for you, to hear all the deeds."

I rolled my eyes, knowing that was going to happen and I looked out the window not even able to care. Nothing could ruin this good mood I was in right now. If this is how I was going to feel after every date with Magnus, then god I hope to marry him someday.

"Hello? Earth to Alec? How did the date go," Isabelle pressed; obviously not patient enough to wait until I got home.

I closed my eyes for a moment, thinking about the night I had. "It was…" I opened my eyes, looking back out the window. My reflection looking back at me was a stranger full of happiness and hope for the future. I could get used to that side of me.

"It was perfect."


Tomorrow is switch day where Alec is a warlock and Magnus is a shadowhunter. I already did that concept in my story The Immortal Instruments but it was fun doing it again.
