A\N: I decided to try my hand at writing a NekoMagnus fic.I apologize in advance if its kinda bad or I stop writing it. (PS I've been on a TMI idea binge lately so that's the reason for all the fanfics that keep coming out lol.) I do not own the characters. Just some OC's.

Comments are always welcome :)

8. New Friends and Legal Aid

Magnus tugged nervously at his collar. He liked this one. It was made of simple blue velvet material that looked more like a choker than a collar with a small star shaped ID tag. He liked it because it didn't hurt his throat and it matched Alec's eyes.

"You ready?" Alec asked fixing his tie. "You can stare at your pretty reflection later."

Magnus rolled his eyes and pouted playfully. "But how can I not stop and stare. I look fabulous."

Alec smiled a bit and walked over. "You can look all you want later. We're going to be late if we don't leave now."

Magnus nodded and pulled on his coat and put his hands in his pockets. He wanted to hold Alec's hand but knew he couldn't. Not in public anyway. He was just his pet. His ears flattened a bit at the thought and his mood depleted slightly.

"Ready?" Alec asked.

He nodded and followed him out of the apartment.

"Excuse, you're Alexander Lightwood right?"

"I swear to the angels whatever it is I didn't do it," Alec said looking up at the man who approached him. "And if you're a reporter, then you can just fuck off."

"Eh…I'm not a reporter, but I'm glad to see that we share the same views. I'm Jem Carstairs, a lawyer. I was hoping I could speak to you."

"I have nothing better to do…apparently I was served but evidently my accuser never showed up," Alec said standing up.

"Great. How about coffee in my office? I have a friend so…I'm sorry I forgot to ask you name…" Jem said looking at Magnus.

Magnus blinked and looked at Alec.

"You don't need my permission to tell him your name," Alec assured him.

"Magnus….Magnus Bane…" he answered.

"Nice to meet you Magnus. I have a neko too, his names Will and he gets kinda lonely while I have to work. Maybe you could keep him company for me?"

"You bring your neko to work?" Alec asked.

"Well it's either bring him with me or risk having to get my couch refurbished again, he's kinda hyper and hates when he's not the center of attention," Jem smiled. "He hangs out in the room next to my office."

"Is he nice?" Magnus asked curious.

"He is very nice," Jem nodded.

He led the two down the hall and knocked on a door a few times before stepping inside.

"Will? Are you skulking around in here?" Jem asked walking into the room.

"I do not skulk, I prowl," a young man answered standing in front of the small group with his hands on his hips. "Who's this?"

"This is Alexander and this is Magnus. I thought the two of you could hang out for a bit while Alexander and I talk," Jem offered.

"And then you'll come play with me?" he asked looking at Jem.

"Yes. I will come and play with you," Jem chuckled.

"So…Magnus…what kind of name is that?" Will asked looking at Magnus as the two men walked out and shut the door.

"My name," Magnus answered.

"You can stop looking like you want to bolt…are you hungry? Thirsty?"

"A little…I was too nervous to eat anything this morning…" Magnus sat down in one of the chairs and took off his jacket.

"Something happen?" Will asked walking over with some bottles of water and snacks.

"One of my past owners…she tried to sue Alec because he wouldn't let her buy me off of him…" Magnus answered.

"Was she bad?' Will asked.

He nodded a little bit. "I'd prefer not to go back to any of my old owners if I can help it…Alec's the nicest one I've ever had…" he smiled a bit. "What about you? Jem seems really nice."

"He's great," Will grinned. "He's sick sometimes though…which sucks, but he's always nice to me and feeds me treats."

"Have you been with him long?"

"He adopted me almost five years ago off of a friend of his. They couldn't afford to care for me anymore…so he adopted me and we've been happy ever since."

"Has um…do you-"

"Have sex?" Will asked.

Magnus nodded and picked up his water to take a drink. Will was attractive Magnus noted. He had black hair and violet blue eyes and pale skin. He wasn't Alec but Magnus wouldn't have been put off if he and Will met with different circumstances.

"We do yes…I like to top though," Will answered nodding. "What about you and Alec?"

Magnus nodded. "He's a lot nicer than the others."

"You've had more than one owner?"

"I've had…a few…."

"Wanna fool around? We could wrestle," Will offered changing the subject.

"Wrestle?" Magnus asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah. You know, play fighting?"

"I'm not much of a fighter…"

"Come on, one game? Whoever's pinned first wins?"

"…I guess…"

"How long have you had Magnus?" Jem asked handing Alec a cup of coffee.

"I adopted him a few days ago…I found him in the alley behind my apartment almost two weeks ago. He wasn't in bad shape though he told me he had run away that day. The woman who had me served was his last owner before me. She tried to buy him off me yesterday."

"Ah. Makes sense, you don't really Magnus's type running around here," Jem nodded. "Is he from overseas?"

"That's what my gut says," Alec answered. "So um, why did you want to talk to me?"

"I uh…I stumbled on your blog. I saw your posts about Magnus and read some one's you wrote about your father. You have quite the vocabulary."

"It's got me in trouble more times than I'd like to admit…"

Alec chuckled a bit.

"I was hoping you'd let me represent you…just in case this whole thing with Magnus's owner gets blown out of proportion…Camille Belcourt, she's a very influential woman…"

"From what I hear she's a drug addict."

"She's a top model, and fashion designer…she's going to hire a top lawyer to spin what happened way out of proportion."

"And you want to represent me? Why?" Alec asked. "I'm not afraid of her."

"No, but you should be…she's a vicious woman. She'll do whatever she wants to get what she wants," Jem told him. "Magnus, was her prize."

He handed Alec a few pictures and magazines. "Where she went, he went."

Alec set down his cup and took the pictures and Magazines and looked through them. He was right. Everywhere Camille was, Magnus was with her with a diamond studded collar and a silver chain leash wrapped around her dainty wrist.

In most of the pictures she was smiling and keeping him close. He looked like he was smiling, but it wasn't reaching his eyes.

"So, it's not me you want to help…but Magnus?" Alec set them down.

"Both of you…Magnus seems to genuinely like being with you and you like being with him. The look you give him is the same look I give Will. You love him."

"And my entire family hates him…my father is threatening to disown me. My little sister swears that Magnus is a devil in disguise because he bit my other brother because Jace tried to pet him and Magnus didn't want to pet…my mother just gave me a disapproving look the entire time I was at dinner. He is the most adorable and sweetest person I have ever met. And it pisses me off that someone would do something like this."

Jem nodded. "Has your court day been moved up?"

"Yeah. Not til two weeks from today," Alec answered.

"Why don't we get together? The four of us and we can try to work a case against whatever they're going to claim. I'll need to talk to Magnus as well. Get his side of the story," Jem grabbed a piece of paper and jotted down some things. "This is my cell phones, and home phone. Call me and we can set up a time to meet up."

Alec nodded and took the paper. "Sounds great…I should get Magnus home, he doesn't seem to like the court house too much."

Jem stood up and walked out with him. Both men paused at the sound of a loud thud and Jem opened the door to the room.

Magnus was sitting on a straining will with a triumphant look. Ears twitching as he smiled.

"I win again."

"I see you two are getting along," Jem smiled. "But you're going to have to say goodbye for now."

"Aw…but we were wrestling…" Will whined.

"I know. But Magnus has to go home now. You two can play again soon okay?"

Will pouted but nodded and he and Magnus stood up. "Maybe next time you'll let me win."

"I think your ego is fine enough without me throwing a fight," Magnus said putting on his coat.

"Every ego needs a little boost now and then," Will smiled putting his hands in his pockets.

"Yours is boosted enough," Magnus replied walking over to Alec.

"I will give you a call later if that's cool," Alec told Jem.

"We get home around eightish," Jem nodded. "So any time after that will be fine."

"Great. I will call you around that time then," Alec said.

"I look forward to it," Jem smiled.

"Someone's all tuckered out," Alec chuckled as Magnus curled up next to him. "Probably from all that wrestling with Will huh?"

"And wrestling with you," Magnus closed his eyes and yawned. "But I prefer our form of wrestling. I like smelling like you."

Alec smiled and pet his ears. "I like our wrestling too…Jem's going to ask you a few questions when we go over on Monday…I'll be there with you, okay?"

Magnus nodded. "Okay…"

"If you want to stop talking, then just tell us and we'll stop okay? Jem doesn't want to make you upset or uncomfortable."

"If you're there I'll be fine," Magus admitted opening his eyes to look at him. "I feel safe with you…"

"Good. I want you to be safe, if I ever do anything that makes you feel otherwise, you can tell me," Alec told him.

"You worry too much," Magnus said leaning up to kiss him and getting back on top. "I'm very well equipped to handle myself when I don't feel safe…it's an automatic response you know."

"I know…but I don't want to hurt you," Alec said running his hands down his sides.

He traced a scar with his thumb. "You're too gorgeous to be hurt."

Magnus blushed a little and wrapped his arms around his neck. "I know I'm gorgeous but I like hearing you say it."

Alec kissed him. "I will you tell you're gorgeous as many times as you want me to. That's a promise."
