I Was An Idiot
"'Newly elected senator, Robert Lightwood, is seen having dinner with world renown fashion designer, Magnus Bane, who has admitted to being in a committed relationship with the senators son, who was also attending the lunch-in. Alexander Lightwood, high school student and soon to be business major at NYU was quoted saying, "Yes, Magnus is my boyfriend, is there a problem?" while out shopping in Times Square. The announcement of this couple (their popular celebrity name Malec has swept the entertainment industry) has sky rocketed the Senator's victory, some say, while the famous fashion empire of Warlock Fashions has become number one on up coming trends with it's new line 'Bluer Than Blue.'
'Gossip has sped that the couple is in hard times as Alexander prepares to leave for college, and Magnus prepares another fashion show in Paris. The sister of Alexander, Isabelle Lightwood has been quoted saying, "Oh you have no idea. They're always together. Alec has rarely been home since his "coming out."" and "They are the most lovey-dovey couple I've ever seen, and I'm a teenage girl." So how will Malec survive their four month separation? Will Magnus return to his life of flings? Will Alec find a new love at university?' What trash." Magnus muttered tossing aside the magazine he had been reading onto the floor next to my bed.
I said nothing as I stuffed a pile of jeans into my black suitcase. Tomorrow I leave for orientation at the University of New York. Though it's close-ish to home I'm moving into a small apartment on campus that Magnus had bought, so he could visit whenever he wanted without worry of any roommates of mine. He even sounded a little jealous when I suggested I live in the dorms. It made me really happy.
"What's with the silence, Alexander?" Magnus cocked an eyebrow at me as he pushed himself into a sitting position. His long legs crossed even though the jeans he wore looked to tight to allow him to bend like that. I was waiting for the day they would just rip and fall off. But not in public!
"Nothing." I replied turning to my closet for another load of clothes.
Magnus was silent for a moment which was unlike him. Not in all the months we've dated -eight months and counting- has he gone completely silent except when he's this working on a new design or trying to read my mind. And he's very good at both.
"Are you worried about my traveling?" He asked tilting his head to the side. Amusement in his green eyes as I dropped a pile of shirts into the suit case.
"No." I lied. I could feel the tips of my ears go red, and without a doubt Magnus knew the truth. I don't know why I continue to try to lie to Magnus, he always sees right through it. I even ruined his birthday party because I couldn't keep it a secret, Storm gave me an ear full for that while Scott just laughed.
A grand smirk crossed his face and I was caught red-handed. "Oh Alexander, you're so cute." He chuckled grabbing my wrist.
Before I could pull away Magnus tugged my arm and I landed awkwardly in his lap. One knee next to his hip and the rest of me pressed to his chest, it was firm and carried the scent I loved the most, sandalwood and Magnus. It was Heaven.
I was about to protest his behavior with my mother home and just down the hall when his mouth was pressed to mine. He laughed into the kiss while my entire body melted. There was no other word to use for the feelings inside me other than 'love.' I had been a complete fool to not try harder for Magnus. I almost missed out on all this happiness just because I over thought my entire life. I had been such an idiot. Thank my guardian angel that Magnus had a back bone. I was still amazed that he loved me back. It was the greatest miracle.
Magnus pulled back from the kiss, and even with all the experience I had gain over the months I still panted like a moron after even intense kiss. Would it be lame to say this guy took my breath away? Yeah probably, but it was true. His eyes, the cat-like green orbs, stared down at me with no humor, it had been replaced with a deeper emotion that sent a fresh wave of blood to my face.
"There's no need to worry. I'm not going to let someone take you away. You're only mine." He said and my heart sped up.
"But what about you? I don't know who you have in Paris, and what if-" My weak nervous rant was cut short by another kiss that made my head swim.
"You've seen me at my worse while I was sick, I've hit the point of no return. I'm sticking with you even if you get tired of me." He smirked down at me.
Tears stung at my eyes. That line was better than any 'I love you' and I was ready for the future. Magnus had made it clean he would be there with me. "I'll never get tired of you, you sly jerk." I spat knotting my hands in the collar of his shirt. "So you're stuck with me no matter what." I declared before smashing my mouth to his as the annoying tears fell.
Magnus dropped backwards onto my bed so I was hovering over him. Our hands roaming over each other while our lips moved together in hungry passion. God I was going to miss him. Two months was too long to be without Magnus Bane. I barely survived the two weeks before the winter show, how was I going to handle TWO MONTHS.
"MOM, THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN."
I broke away from Magnus like I had been doused in cold water. "Shut up Jace." I spat towards my open door. My brother smirked at me as he continued down the hall.
"You should have closed the door then!" He chuckled.
He was right. I had purposely kept my door open so Magnus and I wouldn't do that. I had to finish packing and Magnus was the master of distraction when I had work to do.
"Trouble-tête." Magnus muttered as he sat up.
"Arrêtez de me distraire alors." I replied as I moved for my closet once again. Magnus had taken to slowly start teaching my French and I had picked it up quickly, now I could know what he was saying about me under his breath. A lot of which were embarrassing terms of flattery that lit my face like a stop sign.
"Mes yeux bleus." Magnus hummed and I flushed like a girl.
"Shut up." I muttered shoving my clothes into the over packed suitcase.
"You're always so cute." He chuckled lounging across my bed.
"Je t'aime." I muttered under my breath.
I had expected him to reply in French or Indonesian but he didn't. "I love you as well Alexander. With every breath, heart beat, and passing moment. You've consumed my heart with your presence, and I love it, never leave." He declared with a genuine heartfelt smile that made my legs go weak.
EMBARRASSMENT CENTRAL.
Taking a deep breath I calmed myself. "Do you have to out do everyone?" I teased as my heart continued to savagely beat against my ribs.
"What's the fun of being second place?" He challenged with a smirk.
"Dear god you really are a tornado, taking everything down." I breathed and he laughed.
As we parted ways in front of Magnus' flat he had to go the airport, and I had to get to NYU, I thought I would have cried. But I didn't. I left with a smile. There was no reason to be sad, I had Magnus. We were together, in love. We would just be apart for some time. I had to support him and he supported me. We each had our own things to get done before we could spend every day together. My future looked bright, and I had no doubts. My life had taken shape, and I looked forward to the surprises it held as long as I was with Magnus.
Just like a storm he changed my life, and it was great.
I'm Alexander Lightwood. I'm not normal, and there's nothing average about me. My boyfriend was a whirl wind of green eyes and fashion who is even stranger than I am and we're in love.
