Chapter 6

The Date

"Oh Alec, stop fidgeting you look great!" Isabelle snapped trying to fix the cuff on Alec's sleeve. The two had drove straight to the mall the next day and Isabelle was going crazy around the men's clothes finding dress shirts, pants and ties for Alec in which he was forced to try on everything.

"It's so tight, how do guys even wear this?" He said trying to adjust the material by his shoulders.

"It hasn't been washed yet, and then it'll loosen." She said catching Alec's arm forcing him to stop moving. "Alright," she said taking a step back examining her brother. "You look good." He was wearing a gray button down shirt with white cuffs that was open at the chest showing his collar bone and rolled up at the sleeves. His dress pants were a little too long but she could fix that. "Change out of that and we'll cash out!" She squealed and pushed Alec back into the changing room.

"After this can we go home?" Alec called over the door.

"Are you kidding, you can't just wear that, you'll freeze in this weather. We have to look for jackets and coats to match the clothes we got you." Alec sighed aloud and hit his head against the wall not to gently.

"And this is what I get for asking my sister to help me look for clothes."

"Hurry up!" She snapped, but he could sense the smile in her tone.

"Isabelle, these clothes aren't cheap, how are we going to manage?" He asked stepping out of the stall and showing her the tag. She waved him off and took the clothes from his hands.

"I pulled a few strings with mom."

"You told her!" He cried stepping in front of her. She gave him a crossed look for shouting in the store and he ducked his head. "You told her?" He whispered.

"I told her you were seeing someone and you didn't have proper clothes." She said. "I think she was actually pleased to hear that you wanted clothes." She added more to herself.

"So what happened?"

"She sent us money." Alec was half relieved and half terrified. He followed Isabelle to the cashier and waiting impatiently as she paid and they headed out the door to do more shopping.

Alec threw himself onto the couch his feet killing him and he sighed aloud.

"Oh boo Alec, it's not like I was asking you to kill a demon for goodness sake, it was just shopping!" She said going into his room and started hanging his new clothes.

"I think I'll be better off slaying a demon then this," He mumbled through the pillow. He rolled over onto his back and threw an arm over his eyes. "Never again…"

"So what time did you guys make the date?" She called from the room. Alec blushed at the word date but quickly pushed the idea away. He had called Magnus the next day late at night and the two talked for almost an hour.

"Uh, Magnus said he made reservations at ten."

"Where?" She asked coming into the room.

"I don't know some place called the Blue Hill." At this, Isabelle gapped.

"You're kidding right?"

"What?" He asked sitting up.

"You have to like… to eat there you have to reserve months ahead of time!" It was Alec's turn to gap. Great Alec thought let's hope I don't make a fool out of myself. I've done a good job so far.

Alec stood in the bathroom fixing his tie trying to make it straight but had trouble when Isabelle was behind him giggling.

"You look handsome!" She said tapping his shoulder. With a sigh of annoyance, he ignored the crooked tie and turned to face his sister.

"Do I look over dressed?" He asked worried. He was wearing a white shirt a vest over it and a black tie.

"No, you like fine!" She reached out and began straightening out his hair getting the few strands out of his face. There was a knock on the door and Alec froze.

"I'll get it" Isabelle said. He felt suddenly hot in his suit and thousands of things were running in his mind. Was he over dressed or under dressed? What would Magnus think? What would people say? What if Camille came and did something awful again? Maybe he didn't want to do this after all.

"Izzy wait-" he started hastily going out of the bathroom and into the living room but it was too late, Magnus was standing there, a black coat draping over his arm, in a black shirt that was open widely at the chest showing his caramel colored skin. Around his neck hung a silver cross on a single chain and on his pointer finger twinkled a ruby. His shirt was tucked in showing his curves and muscles underneath. As always, his hair was neatly spiked and he wore heavy black liner around his eyes. Alec suddenly felt both under and over dressed.

"Magnus…" He smiled weakly and walked up to them. "You look…" He tried to find the words but was there a word for someone who looked like they could pass going to either a club or a dinner party all in one look? "I'm sorry, I didn't know what to wear," he started gesturing to his outfit but Magnus placed a hand over his.

"You look stunning." He reassured. Alec took a breath and tried to relax. Magnus reached out and fixed Alec's crooked tie making it perfect. "Ready?" He asked. Alec looked at his sister and flashed a worried look. She smiled trying to let him know that he was going to be alright.

"Yeah," He smiled weakly. They stepped outside and Alec gapped. Out in the front was a black sports car shining in the night.

"Of course you'd have a sports car." He said throwing his hands up.

"Now let's see how it rides" Magnus smirked.

At the restaurant, Alec and Magnus were placed by the window where they could enjoy their meal and look out into the colorful city lights. Alec turned to find Magnus looking at him in amusement a glass of wine dangling between his two fingers.

"What?"

"I was wondering what you were thinking." He said setting the glass down. Alec blushed and quickly glanced outside before taking a breath and turning to look at his partner.

"N-nothing much"

"So Alec, tell me about you? What business do you have in New York?"

"You want me to start from the beginning?" He asked playing with the napkin that was on the table.

"If you like," Alec looked up trying to see how far back he wanted to go.

"Well, I have a sister which you already know; I have a younger brother, Max who is back in Chicago."

"You live in Chicago?"

"Yeah, I grew up there."

"So why did you come to New York?"

"Because Isabelle wanted to become a chef and New York has the best restaurants where she can learn and practice." Alec said. "She loves cooking but she was never really that good." Alec smiled to himself remembering Isabelle's burn food. There were times where she under cooked the meal and sometimes she over cooked them.

"Mom and dad told her maybe this wasn't the dream she should peruse but she really wanted to learn and have her own restaurant. I told her she could do it; that she shouldn't give up so the next think I knew, she was applying to France for culinary school. Now we're just waiting for the acceptance letter. If she gets in, they will pay for her first year at the school. Our parents don't have enough money to pay for the traveling expenses so I went to New York with her and whatever money I get goes to her." He said looking outside. Magnus could see the care and love Alec had for his sister and he was very much inspired.

"And what do you want to do Alec? What do you want with your life?" Alec immediately shook his head.

"Right now, I just want to get Isabelle in that school. From there, I'll see what I want." He said with certainty.

"But surely, you want to do something" Magnus insisted.

"I-" Suddenly someone in the corner caught his eye. It was his ex-boyfriend. Jace. He was sitting down with a red headed girl, Clary was her name, and they were laughing about something. Old feelings began to rise in Alec's chest and for a moment he was back in Manhattan where he first met Jace.

Surprisingly it was in a club. Isabelle had forced him to go with her and he sat at the bar drinking waiting for his sister to tier. Then the blond boy sat beside him his head low as if he didn't care about a damn thing in life. He was beautiful with his golden eyes and his broad shoulders he looked all the more mysterious with the flashing lights in the club.

"Rough day?" Alec managed to say.

"You could say that." He said back.

'You want to talk about it?" The blond looked at him with curiosity.

"Not really," he said.

"Well, it looks like you need a drink, so it on me." Alec said surprising himself. The bar tender poured two glasses of whisky and the two boys held up the glass before taking the shot.

"I'm Alec by the way." He said extending his hand.

"Jace" the blond boy said shaking his hand. His hands were big and warm and Alec was reluctant to let go. "So what are you doing here? Why don't you dance, or go look for girls to take home?" Alec blushed inwardly.

"My sister wanted to come. I don't really care for dancing." Alec said.

"Really? With your looks, I'm sure you'd score a least a dozen girls in this club." The blue eyed boy wasn't sure if he should be flattered or not. Did Jace, a boy he just met, give him a complement?

"You're not bad looking yourself." Alec said and instantly wished he could take it back because Jace looked at him with amusement and he grinned. 'Great, now he knows.' Alec thought. He turned away and tried to find his sister on the dance floor so he could get the hell out.

"Do you come to night clubs often?" Alec looked back Jace and shook his head. "What do you like to do then?"

"I-I like to read. It's too loud here. I didn't want to come here in the first place."

"Well, I'm glad you did." Alec stared at the boy and though he didn't want to admit it, he knew Jace was yanking his chain. They ordered another round of shots and Alec gratefully drank it all down hopping to get as drunk as possible. Suddenly a girl in a tight red dress approached Jace. Her lips were rose red and her eyes were lined with heavy make up.

"Well hey there pretty boy." she purred reaching out to touch his face. Her black hair fell over her shoulders as she bent down to whisper something in Jace's ear. Her hand trailed down to his chest and she slid her hand under his shirt. A grin spread across his face and she pulled back. Jace looked at Alec and he tried his best to not show his disappointment but nodded his head to encourage Jace to go.

"Not today baby," Jace said locking his eyes on Alec's. She sighed aloud and stalked away leaving the two alone again.

"Want to get out of here, so we don't have any more distractions?" Jace suggested leaning in close. Alec quickly glanced at the dance floor and he could see his sister dancing around a bunch of boys who was drooling over her. 'She'll be fine' he told himself and walked out of the club with the beautiful blond.

Then the next thing Alec knew he was in Jace's apartment making out with him. They were fighting for dominance as they rolled over, one trying to pin the other down. At last it was Alec who gave up and moan in submission and Jace who growled in victory. Alec reached out and pulled the blond angel down on him wanted no space between them. Jace's hands slid up Alec's black t-shirt and brushed over his chest. Alec moaned, threw his head back against the pillows and closed his eyes allowing himself to give in.

When he opened his eyes, he was suddenly back at the restaurant and Magnus was looking at him with concerned eyes.

"Alec? Are you alright?" Magnus asked. He blinked and shook his head.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry." He smiled and took a sip of his drink. He peak back at the corner and saw that they were getting up. He felt his heart race as Jace and his date began walking towards their direction. Suddenly, golden eyes locked on blue ones. A wide grin spread across Jace's face and he stopped at their table.

"I see some things haven't change Alec." He said flashing a smile at Magnus but his eyes never left Alec's.

"Do you know him Jace?" Clary asked smiling at the two boys. Her green eyes were polite and curious.

"Just an old… Friend of mine" He said raising his eyebrows and smirked. It took everything in Alec's power not to throw something at the boy.

"Well, it's nice to meet you," She said shaking Alec's hand then Magnus'.

"If you two don't mind, we're trying to enjoy our meal." Magnus said coolly looking at Jace.

"Of course, my apologies" He said and took Clary's arm and the two walked away. Alec sighed and dropped his head into this hands feeling like an idiot.

"Who was that?" Magnus asked once they were out of the restaurant.

"No one" He said into his hands.

"Alexander, look at me." Slowly, he pulled his head up and looked at Magnus.

"He seems to know you and I don't mean in a colleague manner."

"Oh god… now I know how you felt with Camille." Alec said placing a hand on his forehead. Magnus thought about it then shrugged in agreement. "Anyway it doesn't matter, you said so yourself, the past is the past. Jace is the past." Alec said regaining his composure. Magnus looked at the boy and he decided now wouldn't be a good time to ask about it so he put on a smile and held up his glass.

"You're right, my apologies." And their evening went on pleasantly.

"So other than the run in with your old… how did he put it? 'Friend', it was a nice meal." Magnus said as the two walked out of the restaurant. Alec gave a weak smile.

"I'm sorry about that." He said. He had prayed that nothing bad would happen but he was wrong. Something always happens.

"No need to" Magnus said waving Alec's worries aside. Magnus motioned to one of valet and he nodded in understanding and quickly disappeared. He reappeared in the black sports car and Magnus handed him a tip before going into the driver's seat. Alec stepped into beige leather seat and the two drove out of the building.

"H-he was someone I dated." Alec burst out.

"You don't have to tell me you know." Magnus said looking at Alec.

"I know, but I don't want you to worry and I don't want to hide anything from you."

"Okay" Magnus smiled grateful that Alec was a truthful person.

"I didn't think… I mean… He doesn't look like he's… you know. Which it turns out he wasn't, he was just… and when we did it he was drunk so I guess it doesn't really count." Alec said all at once running a hand through his hair giving himself a second to gather his thoughts properly.

"A few days after the night we hooked up I called him to see if he wanted to hang out again but he told me that what happened that night was a mistake. I went to his apartment to confront him but he was already with another girl. The girl we saw the restaurant." Alec pointed out. Magnus nodded his head but Alec saw the tension in his clenched jaw. Maybe he shouldn't have told Magnus.

"It's nothing really." He added trying to reassure the other boy. The two fell silent and Alec leaned his head back against the headrest wishing he'd just kept his mouth shut.

"Thank you for telling me." Magnus said at last. Alec looked him in confusion.

"Why are you thanking me?" Magnus shrugged.

"It's difficult talking about the past yet you told me anyway." He reached out and took Alec's hand and gave it a light squeeze.

Magnus pulled up to Alec's apartment and he took the keys out of the ignition.

"Thank you for dinner" Alec said.

"Anytime" Magnus smiled. The two looked at each other and slowly, Magnus leaned in kissing Alec on the lips. It was gentle like the first kiss but Alec reached out and pulled Magnus closer making the kiss more passionate. He felt the other boy cup his face and Alec playfully pulled the ends of Magnus's hair and he felt the rich boy smile. Magnus' lips desperately tried to open Alec's and he obliged and their tongues collided. It was sweet from the wine and Alec wanted to taste more. He could feel his lower lip being taken in and he moaned from the back of his throat as Magnus bit down lightly onto it. It was Alec who managed to break away first for air. He was breathing heavily and his heart was racing, Magnus on the other hand was calm and grinning.

"I-I should go," Alec choked and Magnus laughed.

"I suppose so," he sighed. Alec turned to open his door but Magnus caught his hand. "You know, you never told me what you wanted to do in life." Alec tilted his head to the side.

"I guess we'll have to do this again for you to find out."

"Do this as in kiss in my car in front of your apartment or have dinner again?" Magnus mocked. This time it was Alec's turn to laugh. Magnus smiled and drew Alec into one more kiss before Alec pulled away and step out of the car. The blue eyed boy waved as Magnus drove off.
