I'm going to give you a refresher. Remember when I said this:

"You know what? I'm not even going to make excuses. I'm lazy and had writer's block for a few months. Sorry :( And to those of you who bless me with your forgiveness and actually read this, Thank you! I promise it'll never take me this long ever again! (I think) I do have a solid plan for the rest of this now, so don't worry! (unless I get writers block again)

(Theres a lot of ifs in this promise)"

That was BULL! HA! A plan? Me?! Noooo... Get past writer's block and start updating regularly? Noooo... I'm sorry guys. I really really am BUT! THIS TIME! I REALLY DO HAVE A PLAN (maybe..) AND PLAN TO UPDATE EVERY SATURDAY (or sunday if things get busy)

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS AND DO NOT CLAIM TO OWN ANY OTHER CREATIONS OF CLASSANDRA CLARE'S GENIUS.

Also, if you didn't read the description there is explicit boy-love, yaoi, homosexuality, and whatever else you want to call it. Of course, if that offends you, don't read. Common sense :)!

Magnus' head spun. He was vaguely aware of the thud Tessa made when she hit the floor and of a distant shout and running feet. Then before he knew it, he was on the ground with Sophie carefully pulling him up by the arm, asking what had happened. He could only shake his head. He looked over to Jem, holding Tessa up with one arm and fanning her with the other. Looking around, he couldn't find Will. But it seemed like not even a second ago he had been pressed against William's lips, where could he have gone so fast?

Magnus snapped back into reality when Tessa seemed to come to. "What happened Tess?" Jem asked, tenderness and concern saturated his voice.

"They- they were... kissing." Tessa whispered.

Jem blinked in surprise, "Is that all?" a bit of a chuckle slipped out although he surely hadn't meant it to. "Who? Sophie and Magnus?" To his left, Magnus saw an uncomfortable look creep across Sophie's face. They got along well, but they were on the same page as far as there being absolutely no sexual tension between the two.

"No." Tessa croaked, "Magnus and...and Will."

"What?" Jem shook his head, "Tessa its late you must have been seeing things."

Tessa sat up, offended. "I was not!" She pointed an accusing finger at Magnus. "He... They're homosexuals"

Magnus, inwardly disgusted by how intolerant the human race could be, cringed at the venom in her voice.

Tessa stood and brushed herself off. Then, setting a stern look on her face, one Magnus had only seen used towards William when he happened to say something particularly vile towards her, she marched up to him. The stood nearly nose to nose and, although Tessa was much smaller than himself, Magnus felt tiny next to her.

"Get out." She spat in his face

"Tessa-" Jem started

"OUT!" she yelled again

Magnus backed off, somehow managing a shaking bow of his head, and ducked away from the three and down the hallway towards the infirmary to grab his belongings.

Will stood, pressed against the wall and eyes peering through the crack of the half-closed door of the dining hall. He watched in a hidden safety as Magnus was scolded and thrown out of the Institution, escorted by Sophie. He swallowed hard at the mess that his stupidity had made this time. He, in the confusion had let his need to distance himself from Tessa and his strange desire to hold Magnus again roll into one. What's more he was a coward for hiding this whole time.

Taking a deep breath, Will walked out of the dining hall, an apple in hand. "What was all that commotion?" He said with just the right amount of fake innocence on his voice.

Tessa spun on him. "You know exactly what, Mr. Herondale! And I'm sure Charlotte won't tolerate such henous acts in her home!"

"Honestly, Tessa that's a bit extreme." Jem's soft voice crept carefully in on their conversation. "I mean you've already kicked a wounded man to the streets."

"Well you can't expect to keep such mongrels in the house! It isn't proper!"

"I don't even know what it is I've done wrong and now I've been labeled a mongrel?" Will bit indifferently into his apple.

"Are you seeing Magnus Bane?" Tessa stared him down and it took all he could to look her in the eye. Her eyes held so much hate and disgust in them that Will heart felt as though they had been struck by lightning. He wanted anything to make her look at him with just the usual amount of cool distaste he had come to know and love.

"No of course not." He began and he could see Tessa's eyes being to soften. But then a spark lit in his mind. "I mean, he's not even in the room right now." He gestured around. Tessa's eyes softened more. She thought he really had no idea what he was talking about. He could get out of this alive. But… "However, later tonight may be a different story."

Tessa's eyes harded once more. "What?!"

Will nodded, "I mean after the passionate kiss we just shared, I'm sure neither of us will be able to keep our distance long enough to make it through the night." He through in a slight smirk for good measure.

Tessa shuddered at the thought, "What a vile, disgusting thing to say! And whats more, stealing away with man!"

"And a warlock at that." Will sighed, "Oh, Tessa are you only making such a fuss because I'd rather lay with a vulgar downworlder male than an even more disgusting and twice as vulgar downworlder female like yourself?"

That was the fatal blow. The last straw. She was safe. Finally, he had pushed her so far there was no way in Hell she would ever fall in love with him. Will could visibly see Tessa shaking. He snuck a quick glance at Jem as well who it seemed couldn't even look at him. Instead the boy put a tender hand on Tessa shoulders.

"Why don't you go to your room, Tess. Just go calm down and get some sleep."

Tessa looked a while into Jem's eyes, obviously wanting to be sure Will wouldn't get off with a mere scolding, and then marched off in a huff.

As she disappeared around the corner, Jem turned to Will. "Are you serious Will?" He approached him slowly. "Or is this just another way to make her angry."

"A little of both I suppose."

"William." Jem came very close now. "You are an idiot." Jem moved fast and Will nearly went to block himself. But instead, Jem pulled him into a brotherly embrace.

"James?" Will whispered.

"We are brothers, Will." Jem said pulling away. "And the strongest kind because we were born and stuck with each other, we chose each other. I love you no matter what, even with all the strange ways you like to act out."

Will felt a weight fall from his shoulders that he hadn't even realized was there.

The loving look in Jem's eyes, dimmed, "But… Tessa…"

"I know."

"Maybe it's best to distance yourself from her for now." Will nodded "Do you have anywhere else you could stay?"

Magnus, realizing as he walking into his home that it was somewhere around 4 o'clock in the morning, had stripped down to his night clothes. Just as he was about to lay down, the bell rang. Sighing, he shuffled down stairs and over to the door, flinging it open.

"What the hell are you doing opening your door at this hour?" A tired but still cocky Will stood on his doorstep. "You've already been near death within the past 24 hours." He mused as he let himself in, hanging his coat and hat. "What if I had been some crazed salesman willing resort to violence sell my wares?"

"You're just rambling, William."

"I know." Will threw his bag into the study, unusually dark without a fire going, and headed up the stairs.

Magnus' sleepy brain then clicked on, " Wha- wait, Will!" He trotted up the stairs after him. "How long do you plan on staying?"

Will opened the first door he saw, a bathroom, then closed it again. "Don't know." He opened the next. Broom closet.

"And for that matter, when exactly did I give you permission to stay?"

Will opened another door. Linen closet. "You didn't."

"Well." Magnus stopped in his tracks. Unsure of what to do next. Will continued on, opening nearly every door in the hall. With every door Will seemed to get more and more agitated. Finally, so frustrated he flung a door open so hard it nearly ripped off one of its hinges and the door knob punched a hole in the wall behind it.

"William!" Magnus ran to him, both furious and worried. Grabbing his arm, he stopped Will from damaging anything else. "What are you looking for!?"

Will stared at him like he was the dumbest person on Earth. "A bed. I'm exhausted."

Author's Note: I know it was short but it's something right? And big stuff happened so… it counts. I thought I should give you guys something since I've gotten so many new reviews and favorites lately (THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THOSE!) I'll probably be posting more frequently but possibly with shorter chapters until I get back into the storyline.

I hope you like this update because you waited long enough for it! Please leave any reviews by the door on your way out and have a nice day
