CHAPTER 2
Magnus PoV
Alexander Lightwood…fuck, every time I thought of him I got the image of this wimpy, skinny, nerdy kid with huge specks and blush…certainly not the sex God fucking Adonis that I had seen last night…what the fuck? Did he put himself in the Captain America's sexy-making machine? Was he a government experiment to see if they could bring up all the hotness? Seriously I was freaking out…I growled closing my eyes remembering the first time we had met each other…
"FUCK!" I yelled swigging my guitar back and forward like a baseball bat in one of my little Magnus Bane tantrums, it was so frustrating to not find a nice lyric to present to the talent scouts "Fucking shitty people!" I was gaining attention, I knew that and normally I was way more mature than this but I had to write a new song today because my stupid ass agent wanted to show something new, fresh and meaningful…what the fuck? Did he think that songs were like breathing? That comes and goes at will? Well sorry big ass sir but with pressure things can't be done "Argh!" I gave one hard swing back freezing when something…or someone stopped my guitar with a hard thud…oh, oh. I turned around and saw a boy laying on the grass with his hands on his face. Fuck. First of course I looked at my guitar for any real damage…bones could get back in place, guitars couldn't get fixed…after making sure my baby was fine I put it aside and looked down at the guy kneeling at his side "Are you ok?" I grimaced seeing his broken glasses…shit that would cost me.
"Not bleeding" he murmured touching his nose before looking at his fingers "I'm ok I guess" he started sitting looking down, his frown not leaving his face.
"Let me see" I moved my hand to his chin lifting it and I almost lost my breath when I saw a pair of big turquoise eyes looking back at me blinking fast. He had milky white skin, black long lashes and charcoal dark hair…a true beauty of nature…that had a huge red bruise on his forehead.
"You're…shiny" he said not loosing his amazed expression making me chuckle. Well I lived covered in glitter, and now I was wearing a neon pink tee, black vest and black jeans…I was fairly normal, well except for my spiked rainbow hair that was.
"And you're…" I looked down at him, he was wearing a hideous black-ish sweater, faded jeans and black vans "Not" he rolled his eyes and I could see a hint of humor even if he hadn't smile "Can you get up?" I stood and offered him my hand, he nodded shyly before grabbing it and standing, he was about five inches shorter than me…well ever sense high school started, everybody was shorter than me. He began looking at his broken glasses grimacing and I bit my lip "Come on!" I said pulling his hand.
"What?" he frowned not moving from the spot…for a skinny wimp he was kind of strong.
"I'm going to get you some new glasses, I broke those after all" I pulled again making him follow me, he still had that confused expression adorning his childlike features, I wondered how old he was "How old are you?"
"Sixteen going on seventeen…you?"
"Seventeen…but you look younger" he looked down blushing hard.
"My dad say's I'm a late bloomer…supposedly runs in the family" and he sounded like he didn't believe that crap at all…well me neither, but he still was…kind of…cute.
"Genetics it's a bitch" I joked "And how am I supposed to call you blue eyes? Do you have a name?" I hadn't let go of his hand and he wasn't fighting to get it back…it felt nice.
"Alexander Lightwood" he made an unsure expression before correcting himself "Alec…Alec Lightwood"
"I think I'll stick with Alexander" I purred thinking that it was a delicious name before seeing our hands and shaking it reminding him that he was still taking it "Nice to meet you…I'm Magnus Bane" and for the first time I could see his small smile and I was sure that with that, that wimpy dark kid had stolen me forever.
A loud knock got me out of my memories, sighing I got up from my spot on the couch and walked to the entrance door sliding my feet in my new burgundy slippers. I reached the door and took a look through the peek hole only seeing a mass of gold locks…Camille.
"Nobody's home!" I yelled not in the mood for explanations.
"I bet that nobody wants to know that he was photographed with a really sexy guy walking out of the club in the middle of his birthday party" by the time she finished saying this I had already opened the door looking at her with my mouth wide open.
"They have Alec's picture!" I saw that she was holding a news paper so I snatched it from her and ran back to the couch not waiting for her to get in, I sat and looked through the pages until I saw it, the big headlines MAGNUS BANE'S NEW GUY…H.O.T.! My heart started beating like a maniac when I saw the picture, Alec looking at me as we both hopped inside my car…at least his face wasn't clear enough but you could really see his body…yes he is hot! "He wont like this" I murmured to myself passing a hand through my damp hair…yes I was so involved in thoughts of him that I was wearing no make up at all…just a simple yellow tee and some sweats…I swear I would only let Camille look at me like this.
"Who is he?" she asked sitting beside me and picking up the furry white ball I called my cat and started caressing it…I had never given Chairman Mew the chance to meet Alec…I wondered if he liked him…what was I saying knowing Alexander he was probably allergic to cats…on the other hand maybe his sexy making machine had also cured him for this…yeah I hoped that was the case.
"A…friend" the truth was that I didn't even know how to call him "That I hadn't seen in a long time and that probably hates me" I moved so I was laying on the couch, she remained sitting next to my waist looking at me frowning.
"Oh…maybe he came to have fun with you…to make up" she put her hand on my stomach her eyes getting concerned. I kept my eyes at the ceiling…if some days ago it was hard to focus enough to get any kind of good music from my brain, today that was a clear impossible task…I could still feel his lips against mine, his rock hard body pushing me to him…normally I didn't like it when guys manhandled me but with him it was different…it had always been different.
"He doesn't like parties" I mumbled lamely "And I don't think he wanted to see me"
"Then why was he there? Why did he talk to you" Good question…it was clear for his initial bitterness that he didn't like me and I could guess that he was still a little pissed about the past but then again, why the hell did he go to the party knowing that he would see me there?
"Beats me…he wasn't on the list so someone must've invited him…or maybe he was one of your guests…do you know Alexander Lightwood?"
"Do you think that if I knew who he was I would've come here asking you about him?" she raised her eyebrow…oh, right "But I do know a Lightwood…Jace Lightwood"
"Maybe they're brothers"
"How is he? Physically I mean" I made a dreamy expression thinking of him.
"Almost as tall as me…he has a deep dark black hair, so messy and yet so sexy…he has milky skin…smooth and beautiful even without make up…his body is so tight and hot…and his eyes…it's impossible to describe how many shades of blue they can hold" I closed my eyes trying to mix the new and the old Alec…he had changed, a lot but I wanted to believe that just as his bluntness much things hadn't changed about him "And he wears black every fucking day"
"Then I don't think they're brothers, Jace is blond as in completely blond" well that brought my hopes down "But I could ask him…you know, the name isn't all that common they could be cousins or something"
"Yeah…please do that, I really need to talk to him" she narrowed her eyes.
"Didn't you come here to talk?" I avoided her gaze…she was my best friend, the person I trusted the most…I could guess she deserved to know about him.
"We kissed…he freaked out and ran"
"He's straight" I shook my head "Then he's stupid for turning you down like that"
"No…I'm the one that's stupid for turning him down six years ago"
Alec PoV
Pain…soreness…hurt…ache…hangover.
I groaned when some loud knocks got me out of my sweet slumber… I didn't want to open my eyes…I wanted to stay there and not think of last night at all.
"Go away" I growled into the bed.
"ALEC OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!" it was Izzy's voice…well sorry baby sis but fuck off. The knocks seized and just when I thought I could sleep again I heard the door getting open…shit, Jace knew where I kept my spare key…I groaned taking the covers and putting them above my head as I heard my siblings' angry stops "You escaped the party with Magnus Bane! I'm so proud of you!" squeaked Isabelle before jumping on the bed embracing me in a big hug while I was completely frozen…how the hell did she know that?
"So big bro" started Jace with his usual smug smile…I didn't need to see him to know that he was grinning like that "Did you get some? Are you going to walk funny?" Bastard.
"No!" I said moving away the covers and taking my sister off from me "And how do you know?" the stood silent looking at me like I was an alien…ok weird enough.
"You're not going to stutter that it wasn't truth?" asked Izzy.
"Why would I do that? Now let me sleep" not caring much about how had they gotten their information I pushed my sister out of the way and covered myself again thinking that the massive headache might shatter my skull if I didn't sleep sooner.
"You're in the papers…with Magnus…" started Jace.
"Don't care…go away"
"If I prepare you my special drink to get rid of the hangover, would you tell us why the hell are you acting so un-Alec-ish with all of this?" I thought her words for about three seconds…damn if someone knew to cure hangovers was my sister…and I guessed I had to tell them about Magnus at some moment…better now that I knew I was still a little drunk than any other moment.
"Deal" I felt the movement of the bed when she got off. Groaning I moved till I was seated and then stood stretching.
"So really, did you have fun last night?" smiled Jace looking at me like seeing me like shit was the most amusing thing in the world.
"I kissed The Magnus Bane…how do you think it was?"
"WHAT?" we heard Isabelle from the kitchen scream while Jace began laughing before walking to me and palming my back.
"I'm proud big bro, finally Alec got out of his shell" I rolled my eyes as we both walked out of the room and into the kitchen where Izzy was giving me a wide eyed look.
"You kissed?" she blurted.
"I went to his house…why are you so surprised about us kissing?" I sat in the table letting forehead fall into it.
"Because you're Alec…you don't go to parties, you don't get drunk and you certainly don't go with strangers to their houses and make out…that's Jace's job" I decided to not speak further because…yes, they were absolutely right and after last night I would not drink again in my life and as much as it pained me I would stay the hell away from Magnus…too many things happened inside me when I spoke to him to let myself fall again and let him crush me…some things in history weren't meant to repeat themselves.
"So…ready to explain?" said Jace when Isabelle put a steaming cup near me…I had no idea what it contained and I was not close to ask, I just took it between my hands and sipped feeling the hot liquid run through my throat.
"What do you want to know?" they sat in the table looking at me.
"Well, how did you meet? Did he approached you or you were drunk enough to make a move?" inquired Izzy making me smile at the memory of how we met…I couldn't tell her that, I decided to stay only in last night events.
"I was sitting at the bar, happily drinking tequila and he came and started talking to me" I shrugged.
"You act like he's just some guy…he is Magnus Bane, a big Popstar and came to you!" I grimaced and she mirrored my expression "Why don't you like him? You haven't even given the chance to know him…or did something happen last night?"
"Oh I know him" I took another sip under their questioning gaze "I know his type" I corrected myself "And I don't like it…last night we just kissed and I was out…I don't even think he'll remember me now"
"He was that drunk?" asked Jace…yeah let's go with that…after all even with…well everything…he didn't recognize me…and as much as I hated to admit it, it hurt.
"Guys, do you think that I've changed? Let's say sense I was seventeen…am I different?" I chuckled at their puzzled looks "Physically speaking"
"Well yeah, I still cant believe you grew just out of genetics…I'm sure you got steroids…a big dose of them" smiled Jace who at first had hated the fact that now I was taller than him and stronger…only when I was really into the fight, which was a rare thing.
"And my face?" I looked at Izzy knowing that Jace wouldn't know about that, he only observed things that were interesting to him…such as petite red heads.
"Amm…your jaw is stronger" she made a concentration pout, biting her lip and frowning "Your brows aren't as ugly as before…I don't know, where is this coming from?"
"One more" I raised my index finger "Do I look that much different if I'm not wearing my glasses?"
"Definitely" they both said making me smile…maybe Magnus didn't recognize me because I was really different…not because he didn't remember…after all he did remember my necklace…but that didn't matter because he was an asshole and I was not going to think more about him!
"I-I…" I tried to tell them the truth but Jace's phone started ringing, he made an apologetic smile before answering.
"Camille? Hi…good and you…Alec Lightwood?" he raised his brow at me, I started shaking my head like a maniac, he must've seen my panicked expression because his smile fell and frowned at me "No I don't…just Izzy and me…yeah, bye" he hung up and glared at me "Speak now"
"I'm not a dog you know" I rested my head in my hands.
"But you did speak" he laughed making me grimace "Now, what is going on?"
"Why do you care? Normally you don't care about my life why is it any different now?" I started not linking that change of events at all, I wanted Magnus buried in my past where he belonged…and certainly Jace wasn't the person that should be digging in my past in the first time.
"Because you're our brother, and even if I don't show it I care about your problems…"
"My problems? Why don't you start caring about your little gambling obsession?" he paled at my words "Yes, you're not as clever as you think! And now I don't want to talk about Magnus! So please leave me alone!" I stood up and stomped to my room closing the door with a hard bang…if I was a woman I could blame this whole scene on PMS but I wasn't…then what could I blame for being like this? I shook my head before going back to bed and bumping myself on it, I didn't know if they were going to stay there or leave me alone and I didn't care, I just wanted to stay there and think.
Magnus Bane…a walking rainbow…eccentric, self absorbed, loud…everything I that I wasn't…when I first met him he was like a lightning struck, and not just because he literally hit me but because he made such an impact in my life that it was hard not to think of anything that wasn't him.
I fell for him the first time I heard him sing…coincidently it was a song for me. We had been sitting on the park, our usual place to meet…it was weird how easy was to talk to him being that he was the popular kid in his school and me…I was invisible to everybody. We used to communicate through music, he made the melody while I added the lyrics, occasionally just fooling around and saying any silly thing that came to our minds somehow making them have some sort of sense. One afternoon I got there in the verge of tears, some bully from school had been specially hard that day…he saw right through me even if I refused to tell him anything, he started playing his guitar…seeing him completely colorful under the decorated Christmas trees at the park made my hear give leaps, knowing that I could never find someone more perfect than him…he had smiled at me before starting his song.
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes and tell me when it rains
And I'll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins
Cuz your heart has a lack of color and we should've known
That we'd grow up sooner or later cuz we wasted all our free time alone
Your nerves gather with the altitude
Exhale the stress so you don't come unglued
Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood
Wide eyed, panic on the getaway
The high tide could take me so far away
VCR's and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day
A popular gauge will measure the rage of the new Post-Modern Age
Cuz somewhere along the line all the decades align
"Sing with me!" he started jumping around with his guitar saying crazy phrases every now and then while I laughed.
"That should be your signature song" I said hugging my knees completely mesmerized by the crazy guy I had in front of me, maybe I had been a little blinded by the sun, but now that I could see clearly, there was nothing more beautiful than a dancing rainbow.
"I guess…you're right" he sat next to me smiling "At least it made you smile, but it doesn't make much sense"
"Who says it has to? Its fun" I turned to see him, his green-yellow eyes glowing before he turned to face me.
"I know another thing that's fun" he cupped my chin and caressed my lips with his own in a very faint, very short and sweet kiss…I was sure I was a tomato by the time he pulled away smiling "Fun?"
"Fun"
If only I had known that yes, it was fun for him, but only that and no matter how good he had treated me in the end it didn't matter because for him I had been just another toy…a new and entertaining brand, geeky gay loosers that needed time to make them comfortable and then break their hearts…fun.
A part of me still burned in shame while other part, a quickly growing part wanted to give him a taste of his own soup, because even if I tried to fool myself, the kiss we had shared last night was not a meaningless one, he had felt it and I was sure I had too…but what could a songwriter looser do against The great Magnus Bane?
Last day of vacation T.T I wanna cry! Well not really, I want to go back yeah…to wake up at 5 for my 7am classes, to try not to fall asleep in most of those classes and to have lots of homework…oh college, what a beauty!
Hahaha ok there you have it! Did you like it? Hated it? Loved it? Reviews? Pretty please? xD
Take care!
