Chapter 5

Confrontation

There was a knock on the door and Alec looked up from the book that he was reading and rushed to the door. He wondered for a moment if it was Isabelle; she had told him he could go home without her because she was going to hang out with her friends. When he opened it, he saw, to his complete surprise, was Magnus in skinny jeans, dress shirt with a leather jacket thrown over it and a white scarf draping over his shoulders.

"Magnus? What are you- How did you-" Alec stuttered but Magnus held up a hand.

"We need to talk." He said gesturing inside the apartment. Alec stepped aside and Magnus went into the common room. There was a fire going by the couch and on the coffee table was a book placed open face down. Magnus took off his jacket and scarf and placed it neatly on the arm of the couch.

"How did you find me?" Without a second thought Alec knew when he saw the expression on Magnus' face. "Right, Isabelle." That's why she suddenly ditched him. Magnus nodded his head.

"I want to apologize for what Camille said at the restaurant." Alec looked away his cheeks flushing. He had tried so hard to forget that incident. "It was unfair of you to take the blame of something that you didn't do." The boy looked at Magnus with complete shock. Why was he apologizing?

"Magnus-"

"Let me finish." He said coolly. Alec shut him mouth. "Had I acted rationally, and explained to Camille what happened at the party, she would have not acted out at the restaurant." Alec let out a laugh of disbelief and sank onto the couch, Magnus following him. Alec recalled the incident at the restaurant and how he locked himself in his room the moment he got home and cried the entire night. He remembered Isabelle's concerned questions as she repeatedly knocked on the door begging him to let her in to discuss what happened. The anger he had tried to contain opened up and he decided to act on it.

"And exactly what happened at the party?" Alec asked his tone dripping with sarcasm. Magnus looked taken aback for a moment and Alec took the opportunity to continue. "I guess it doesn't matter since you're still with…" He hesitated wanting to say that bitch but he caught himself. "Camille." Magnus' face turned red his eyes shining with anger.

"Did it ever occur to you that you didn't call me? You could have mentioned as to why you were in a there and maybe we could have straightened things out." This time, it was Alec's turn to be angered.

"Straighten what out exactly? You're just pissed that you were deceived. Well news flash, if you haven't already noticed, I'm a kitchen boy!" Alec shouted rising to his feet and opening his arms. The two looked at each other for the longest time, their chests rising rapidly in anger.

"Then explain to me why you deceived me." Magnus said breaking the silence.

"I didn't-" Alec started but took a breath, willing his anger down. "I didn't deceive you, or at least, I didn't mean to." He said quietly sitting back down on the couch.

"Then what?" Magnus asked. Alec told Magnus about being a worker at the party and he was serving drinks when he bumped into Woolsey and how the drinks spilled on him. He mentioned that when he looked at the balcony, Camille was looking. He explained that Woolsey had another tux in his car and he changed into that and joined him in the ballroom and the rest Magnus new.

"So she knew it was you that I was kissing."

"I guess" Alec said shrugging heavily. "But it doesn't mean anything." He added.

"Why?" Alec opened his mouth to reply but found he was all out of words. "Is that what you really think about our kiss; that is was nothing?" There was curiosity and sadness in Magnus' voice. Alec looked at him for the longest time surprised that the subject changed suddenly and then looked away unable to face him.

"I-It wasn't what I had expected." He tried out.

"And what were you expecting Alexander." There he went again, saying Alec's full name. His mother mainly called him by his full name but that was only when he was in trouble. But when Magnus said it, it was like silk, welcoming and soothing.

"It…it was…" he kept hesitating unable to find the right sentence to say. He wanted to tell him it was the best thing that ever happened to him. He wanted to take back calling it nothing because he felt something, a spark, like when someone matches a light. He looked at Magnus wishing he could see the answer in his eyes but he just shook his head in defeat, giving into his shyness.

"I'll tell you what I felt." Magnus said taking Alec's hand. "It wasn't nothing to me, I can certainly say I felt something when we kissed. And when we danced, you remember that right?" Like it was yesterday he wanted to say but instead nodded his head. "We were in unison. Nothing else mattered in the room except for you and me." Everything Magnus was saying reflected Alec's feelings. He wished he could have the confidence like Magnus but he was just too scared.

"But Camille…" Alec started but Magnus shook his head.

"She was someone I dated, but that is the past; we broke up a long time ago."

"Then why was she at the party?"

"She invited herself; I have no control over that woman." He said throwing his hands up in defense.

"And the restaurant?" Alec continued.

"She wanted to have dinner, and since you didn't call…" he trailed off looking away for a second. "But I was not expecting to see you there." Alec nodded his head in understanding and saw relief cross Magnus' eyes. Suddenly the door opened and Isabelle stepped into the room. She stared at the two boys, glanced at their hands and then back and look of horror crossed her face. Alec immediately pulled his hand away from Magnus' grasp but it was Magnus who recovered first.

"Did I interrupt something, because if you need me to go," she said pointing outside but Magnus stood up and cut her off.

"That's okay; I think we've settled things here." He said looking at Alec. Magnus retrieved his belongings and Alec stood up following Magnus out the door.

"I'm glad we settled this; I guess we can go back to our separate lives." Alec said running a hand through his hair.

"Alec," Magnus started his eyes solemn yet hopeful. "I meant what I said about how I felt. I would like to… I want to do this again some time." Alec couldn't help but smile.

"Do this as in fight or do this as in talk." He joked. Magnus looked at him with astonished humor and grinned back.

"I'd like to be with you again." He clarified. "And maybe we can get to know each other better sometime over dinner?" Alec sucked in a breath.

"Are you…asking me out… on a date?" Alec stuttered. Magnus tilted his head to the side and grinned.

"Trying to"

"I- I'd like that." He managed. Magnus smiled greatly, leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on Alec's lips before stepping back.

"You better call me then." He said before stepping down the steps and slipped off into the night. Alec stood frozen in horror at the thought of what was to come out of this. What had he just done? He went back into the room and Isabelle was sitting on the couch pretending to read.

"Oh, Alec, hey," She said placing the book on her lap. Alec rolled his eyes.

"Like I don't know you were ease dropping."

"Alec, you know I would never get into your personal life." She said taken aback.

"Right, one, that book is mine; two, it's upside down and three, you always get into my personal life." She smiled weakly and stood up to meet her brother trying to get the scoop.

"So…"

"So…It's none of your business" he finished walking passed her, taking the book from the table and went to his room. He opened his closet and pulled down a gray hoodie and shrugged it on feeling cold from being outside. He sat on his bed and opened the book looking for where he left off. A sudden thought brust in his mind and he dashed out of his room.

"Isabelle!" he called. She jumped from the couch and looked at Alec.

"What? What's wrong?"

"I have nothing to wear." At this, Isabelle grinned.
