Sorry this took so long :/
"Alec, your mother and I have talked about this and we've decided-"
"I don't care what you've talked about," Alec yelled. "But you do not decide anything for me! You forget, Father, that I am a grown man now. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself."
Robert stood up and walked around the table to where Alec was sitting. "You are MY son and you will not raise your voice at me again," he said.
By this time, Robert and Alec were the only two in the room talking. Everyone had stopped what they were doing to watch them. Maryse was standing off to the side, torn between the two people she loved the most.
Robert got up and walked around the table to where Alec was sitting looking up at him and said, "You will come home today. I forbid you to go back to see that warlock."
Alec stood up and the only one that noticed his hand clenched into a fist was Magnus. He rushed over to Alec's side before he did something he'd regret.
"What's the problem here?" Magnus asked, taking Alec's hand and intertwining their fingers.
"That is the problem!" Robert said and pointed at Magnus and Alec's hands. "Alec was not destined to spend the rest of his life with some sparkly Downworlder!"Magnus had to keep himself from rolling his eyes. How many times had he heard some high and mighty Shadowhunter call him a Downworlder? It didn't even bother him anymore, even though he'd helped save Robert's ass plenty of times. Anyways, he didn't have half as much glitter on as he did on a normal today. Today there was only a tad bit in his eye shadow and if you looked at his shirt at the right angle you could see the glitter. No big deal.
"I'm sorry Mr. Lightwood," Magnus said, still trying hard to be polite to his boyfriend's father. "As Alec has already told you, he is a grown man and can make his own decisions. As long as he wants me here by his side, I'm staying." He gave Robert a smirk.
"How dare you talk to me like that? I'm-" he said before being cut off.
"Robert, leave these two young men alone," Aunt Allie said, making her way over to the Lightwoods' table. She went to stand beside Alec and Magnus and stared at Robert.
"I, uh, well," Robert stuttered. Aunt Allie was his actual aunt; one of his oldest living relatives. She was also one of the authority figures of the entire family. "Aunt Allie, Alec is my responsibility and-"
"I don't want to here that. How many times must someone tell you that Alec can handle himself? Alec is a smart person. I'm sure he knows better than anyone here what kind of person Magnus is. If he's willing to spend time with him, you have no right to make him do otherwise," Aunt Allie looked over at Alec and gave him another toothless smile.
Alec just stared back with wide eyes and an open mouth.
Aunt Allie just patted his arm, then walked around him to face Magnus. "I'm so sorry about earlier dear," she told him. "I didn't mean to come across so rude. It was just a big surprise to see Alexander here with a boyfriend."
Magnus was only slightly less stunned than Alec, but he was able to say a few words. "It's really no problem."
Robert looked as if he still had something to say but was having trouble getting it out so he just turned around and stormed outside.
When Alec still hadn't said anything, Magnus tugged on his hand to get his attention. "I'm sorry you had to go through this."
Alec turned his head sharply to look at Magnus. "You're sorry?" he asked. "I should be apologizing to you for bringing you here. You tried to tell me it was a bad idea but I wouldn't listening. Now look what I've done." By the way Alec's voice was shaking, Magnus could tell he was on the verge of tears. He put his arms around Alec's shoulders and pulled him close, at least so he wouldn't have to look at anyone else while he cried.
"It's ok, Alec. I'm here," he said softly so the entire room, which was still looking at them, wouldn't hear. "Everything's going to be fine."
Magnus's eyes were full of resentment as he glared around the room at Alec's so-called family. Finally his eyes came to rest on Maryse who has looking at the back of Alec's head as if she would start crying at any moment. When Magnus felt the wetness on the front of his shirt and the tremors going through Alec's body as he silently cried into Magnus's neck, he vowed to try his best to never hurt Alec as much as his family had.
How many of you were expecting it to end like that? I certainly wasn't.
Please, review. They are all appreciated. I rewrote this part about four times and I would love to know what you guys think about it. If anyone has any suggestions, please tell me.
