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.
This one doesn't focus to much on his family, but I will be adding another more in depth chapter about them soons :)
Comments are always welcome :)
9. Playdates
"Thanks again for letting Magnus stay with you tonight. I'd take him with me but I don't know what my family would do if I brought him…" Alec sighed.
"I don't mind. Will was getting a bit lonely so and between you and me I'm more likely to get some work done if he's occupied with someone else," Jem smiled.
"I wrote down my cell info and everything so just call or text me if something happens. I also wrote down his doctors number and he can only have dairy if he takes his lactose pills. You might have to bribe him to get him to eat them."
Jem nodded and took the bag. "You got it. Anything else I should be worried about?"
"He's mostly good at saying if somethings wrong or not, if he wants to call me he can," Alec answered. "If I get lucky I might be able to leave around tenish."
"Got it. Want to say goodbye?"
"If I say goodbye again I might not be able to leave…"
"That's understandable. Good luck."
"Thanks. I'll need it."
Alec waved before leaving and going over to his car and getting in.
"So you plan on keeping it then?" Robert asked picking up his glass.
"He is not an it dad. His name is Magnus and I would prefer it if you would call him by name. I wasn't just going to let him starve and die or get sent to the pound. Just because you don't advocate for Neko rights doesn't mean I have to follow in your line of view."
"On the contrary, the fact that you have adopted him helps me, if I have the votes of all the neko supporters in the area then I have the mayoral election in the bag. And I can use the two of you to get those votes."
"You honestly expect me to help you lie to people?" Alec said shaking his head. "I'm not going to let you use Magnus to gain the upper hands in an election. I won't do it. Find your own way."
Alec shook his head and walked out of his office and downstairs to the family room and sat on the couch. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed.
"What's wrong?"
Alec glanced over at Max and shook his head. "Nothing. Just the usual. Where's Jace and Izzy?"
The younger Lightwood shrugged and offered Alec another controller. "I dunno. Wanna play?"
"Sure why not," Alec nodded and sat down next to him on the floor.
"So um…did you really buy a neko?" Max asked.
"I did yeah," Alec answered. "He's really sweet."
"How come you didn't bring him?"
"Well…Izzy and Jace don't like him and I'm afraid that they might do something to hurt him."
Max nodded. "Can I meet him sometime?"
"Course you can," Alec smiled. He reached over and ruffled his hair.
"How'd it go?" Jem asked getting Alec a cup of coffee.
"Not as bad as I had hoped," Alec answered. "My dad wants to use Magnus as a publicity stunt to get more votes. Not that I'd let that happen. My brother kept making rude comments, my sister thought it was a grand idea to join in. My mother drank and my little brother hid in his room. A normal family dinner at my place."
Jem gave him a sympathetic look. "Well Magnus was a real gem. He and Will spent most of the time outside in the snow. They decorated the tree too. I took some pictures if you want to see."
"I would love too," Alec smiled.
Jem got up and grabbed his lap top and sat back down pulling up the photos and showed Alec. Alec had to admit that Magnus looked really happy. Some shots were of Will and Magnus when they weren't looking at the camera.
Some of them were with the two neko's looking at the camera. Will with his arm around Magnus and Magnus leaning and smiling. He felt a pang of jealousy seeing the tow of them together. Magnus seemed so comfortable around Will and he still walked around on eggshells half the time he was with Alec.
He looked at the others. Will and Mangus sitting on the living room floor drinking hot chocolate. The two of them curled up on the floor with a knitted blanket covering them. Magnus resting with his head tucked into Will's neck.
"Maybe this could be a regular thing," Jem said bringing Alec out of his thoughts.
"Like playdates?" Alec asked looking up.
"I think it'd be good for both of them," Jem answered.
Alec nodded. "Sure. Will could come over to my place sometime. It's not huge or anything, I'm saving up to buy a bigger place. But it's big enough for two full grown neko's."
Jem smiled. "That'd be great. I hate having to leave him with a sitter when I have to go on business trips. I've been guilty of setting up those nanny cams to check on him. Some people are just terrible at their jobs."
"I work from home so Magnus is with me pretty much all day," Alec admitted. "It would be good for him to have more social interaction. I know he has another friend he hangs out with some times. And he goes out to buy groceries and such but other than that he's always with me."
Jem nodded in understanding. "Yeah. It sucks most places aren't as Neko friendly as some. I'd let Will go out on his own more, but it's the people I'm more worried about. He can be a bit of a sarcastic ass," he chuckled. "That mouth of his will get him in trouble one day."
Alec smiled. "But you wouldn't trade him for anything in the world would you?"
"I wouldn't," Jem nodded. "He is the best thing in my life and I love him they're going to have to pry him from my cold dead hands."
Alec chuckled as he felt arms around him and a head against his back. "Speak of them and they shall appear."
"Will was hogging the blankets. I got cold," Magnus mumbled nuzzling him. "I missed you."
"I missed you too," Alec sighed wrapping an arm around him.
"Do you wanna stay over? It's pretty late," Jem said.
"I don't want to impose," Alec replied.
"It's no imposition really," Jem told him. "I have a guest room that never gets used and it's dark and snowy. I'd feel bad if something happened."
Alec looked over his shoulder and saw Magnus asleep again and nodded. "I doubted I'd be able to get him in and out of the car anyway."
Jem stood up and put their cups in the sink. "It's just upstairs. First door on the right."
Alec nodded and carefully picked up Magnus and followed Jem's directions and laid Magnus on the bed and took off his shoes setting them on the floor.
"Jeans…off…" Magnus tugged at his pants groggily and Alec took them off, not without some difficulty, and folded them setting them aside.
Alec took off his own shoes and pants and got in bed wrapping his arm around Magnus as he curled against his side, his tail brushing Alec's leg and his head on his chest and pulled the blanket up to cover them.
He kissed the top of his head and turned out the lamp letting sleep consume him.
