Alexander was glad. Glad that he had decided to call Magnus. If he hadn't, he never would have met someone who understood him so well, someone he felt so comfortable with. Though it was a very secret friendship, Magnus and Alec never spoke about their past. But Magnus had told Alec enough for him to realize that their friendship would not make Elizabeth very happy. So they kept it a secret from Elizabeth who was (thankfully) busy shooting her new film. But there was a lot of confusion as well. Each time they touched or their hands accidently brushed up against each other; a friendly pat on the back, a reassuring squeeze of the hand… sparks would fly. There was no other way to describe the sensation. There would be a burning desire to touch, to feel every part of the other's body and to let their lips and hands do what they wanted to each other's bodies. And to make matters worse, Magnus knew that Alec was gay.
ALEXANDER POV (5 weeks later)
"Thanks Magnus, you're a lifesaver," I said gratefully. Elizabeth had insisted that we go out on a date, and so I had spent ten minutes drinking coffee and listening to tales about Elizabeth's co-stars. Thankfully, unnoticed by Elizabeth, Magnus happened to be passing by. Seeing that I was being tortured by Elizabeth, he decided to rescue me.
Hiding behind a tree, Magnus's slim fingers pressed his phone's buttons, dialing my number.
I couldn't help but smile, thinking of the ridiculous phone conversation we had.
"Hello, Alexander Lightwood speaking. How may I help you?"
"Blue Eyes, it's me, Magnus. Pretend I'm a friend from work or something and make some excuse to Elizabeth the bitch, and leave immediately and come straight to my house. Okay?"
"Alright, Sebastian. I'll be there as soon as possible. Thanks." I suppressed a smile at the name I had made up for Magnus. I had a feeling he wouldn't like it.
"Sebastian? Ugh. You couldn't have made up a better fake name for me? I mean seriously: Sebastian! If you don't want me to rescue you from Elizabeth the evil you better get your ass over here and apologize for that awful name." With that he disconnected the call, still grumbling about my awful name for him.
I made an excuse to Elizabeth, then as instructed, went straight to Magnus's house.
"You know, I still haven't received an apology for that awful name you gave me. Didn't you know I wouldn't like it? It was too stiff, to formal, too not Magnus-like..."
I laughed at his rant. "I knew you wouldn't like it. Why do you think I chose it?"
"Well then. That changes everything. I know exactly how you're going to apologize to me," he said with a smile made me very nervous.
"Magnus? What are you planning-"
My sentence was cut off when Magnus placed his lips on mine.
I gasped.
The feel of his lips on mine, his taste, his warm arms around my neck... It was incredible.
He moved his hands from my neck to my waist. And the feel of his arousal pressed against mine... Well it was enough to make my thoughts about how wrong this was and how I was betraying Elizabeth vanish.
A/N. A big thank you to the people who reviewed and my lovely beta, Dustland Fairytales.
Three questions for my readers:
1) What would you prefer in the next chapter ? Magnus and Alec's first date or a wander around in Elizabeth's head where we see some of her memories and thoughts of her brother, and the Banes mysterious past is revealed.
2) Should I include some information about Isabelle's relationship with Simon and Jace's relationship with Clary ?
3) Do you guys think there should be a Elizabeth and Alec lemon or just a Magnus and Alec lemon ? ( And believe me there will soon be a couple of lemons, though they will take a while.)
Please review. It makes me VERY happy.
