{Edit: I know I take a long time to update. But remember this; if I don't update during the week, I will on Sunday. J Sorry this one took longer than a week. I was very busy. Also, someone was confused about the switching, so I am labeling it, at least for now.}

Thank you everyone who gave me some constructive comments almost immediately! I will work on what you said! There will be a bit of drama in this fic, but I will make sure to include enough fluff to keep you guys interested. ;) Also guys, do you think it should switch between POVs or stay Magnus's/Alec's? Sorry if you think I am switching too much! I'll do whatever the majority of you guys want!

Well, that's about it for this. Sorry that I threw that on you so early on into the fan fiction. Honestly, I didn't plan on doing that, but sometimes the story has a mind of its own and it takes you in different directions than you planned. Hope its okay though! :P

Magnus clapped his hand over his mouth. "Oh my gosh! I-I'm so sorry! What made them do that?" Alec sighed and stood up.

"Look, I can't believe I told you that. We aren't close. We aren't friends. This," He swiped his hand between the two of them. "Isn't a relationship. I'll figure it out on my own."

He frowned and stood up with the black haired boy. Close up, he could see all his wonderful features. The spectrum of blues in Alec's eyes. The exact color of light pink his lips are. His chiseled jaw line. "Are you sure? Do you have a place to stay?" Concern was filling his face.

"Well… Uh, N-no." Alec looked down, awkwardly, trying to dig circles in the tiled floor.

"Come with me then. At least stay over for now. 'Till you get things settled." Alec opened his mouth to protest, but Magnus grabbed his hand before he could get a word out. He ran out of the school, into the parking lot.

"I've decided that you're coming with me. And everyone knows when I am stuck on an idea, no one is changing that." His voice was stern, but he was half-teasing.

"You said that you didn't tell your siblings… What are they gonna say?" He said, both of them getting into his car.

"I really don't feel comfortable sharing this with you. You seem like a nice guy b-but…" Alec's face contorted like he was having trouble making the words come out. Like it pained him. "I couldn't even tell my brothers and sister, what makes you think I'll have the courage to tell you?" His voice wasn't harsh, it was soft and gentle.

Magnus sighed and started the car. Alec sat next to him tapping his foot anxiously. Damn… He's too cute for his own good… He grinned and turned back to the road.

{ALEC'S POF}

Alec's mind was still abuzz from the stunt he pulled earlier. If it weren't for Isabelle being nosy I wouldn't be here right now… He frowned and sank lower in the seat. Alec didn't want to even think about that right now. He shouldn't have let her tell him what to do.

Magnus sighed and switched on the radio, humming along to whatever song was on. They sat in almost complete silence for twenty minutes before the car pulled into his driveway.

His house was old, elegant, and modern at the same time, if that was possible. It seemed dark and mysterious, but warm and comforting, like you could just walk in and everyone would give you a big hug, then smack you and leave you to walk home alone.

"Ready to get out?" Magnus asked gently, obviously because Alec showed how fast he could blow up.

"Oh. Y-Yeah." Alec slowly got up, rubbing his palm awkwardly. Magnus smiled at him, biting his bottom lip. "Well, C'mon then." He waved him over and opened the door slowly, shooing Alec in.

His house looked exactly like you would expect from the outside. The rooms were covered in almost regal décor with elegant paintings draping the pale gray walls. "Uhhh… Wow." Alec said, fiddling with his jeans. Damn, I'm still wearing my football shirt. This sucks. I can't stay here or…

"I have to go talk with my mom real quick. Go upstairs and get settled in for the night. Second room on the left." Magnus said before making his way into the hallway.

{MAGNUS'S POF}

Magnus hurried in to the kitchen, to find his mom cutting up carrots on their shiny marble counter. He bit his lip lightly. His dad had left them not to long ago. It had been hard on him. They weren't close, but his mom was seriously depressed about the whole thing.

"Hey mom!" Magnus said cheerfully, resting his hand on a nearby chair. "Uh, I have to ask you something…."

His mother put down the knife and smiled. "Go for it."

"Myfriendsparentskickedhimoutandnowhedoesn'thaveanywheretostay orhedoesnthaveanyonetoconfideandiwanttobethepersonthatisthereforhimbut…canhestayhere?" (Translation: My friends' parents kicked him and now he doesn't have anywhere to stay or anyone to confide in and want to be there for him but… Can he stay here?) He said it way too fast, jumbling all the words together.

"Say it again." His mother looked annoyed. "Slower this time."

"My friend's parents kicked him out… and now he doesn't have anywhere to stay… Can he stay here?" Magnus left out about the other stuff… Too embarrassing.

"Oh, Magnus…" His mother walked over and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Of course he can. However long he needs." She smiled at him and bit her lip lightly.

He smiled and ran out of the room. "Thank you! I'll repay you for this! Promise." Magnus trudged up the stairs slowly, a small noise echoing from the bedroom.

"Alec…? Are you okay in there?" When no response followed, he opened the door gradually. Inside, the boy was crying gently, almost making no sound, with his head in his hands.

"Get out!" Alec screamed, turning from his gaze. "Alec… Just tell me what's going on… I might be able to help."

"Help?" He almost laughed at that. "You can't help me." Magnus sighed and walked over, sitting right next to him.

"Tell me."

"No."

"C'mon… You know you want to."

"I obviously don't."

"Please…." Magnus looked over at him with big puppy eyes and grinned when Alec gave in.

"It was late last night…."

{FLASHBACK}

"Your gay then?"

Isabelle squealed loudly. It wasn't her fault that their dad was standing outside the room, listening in. But it was her fault that she even got this into Alec's private business.

"I can't believe it! That's so cute! Now I've got to find you..." She rambled on but, by now he wasn't listening. He shouldn't have said yes. He should have let her go on believing that he was as straight as a pole. He knew this would happen.

And then his dad happened. Right when Isabelle left, he came in. The yelling… He was surprised none of his siblings heard it.

Then he packed, ready to leave in the morning. His last night, and he wasn't even able to tell his own mother what his dad had done. To his own son. His own blood.

Magnus gave him a sideways smile. What do you say to that? "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you. Burden you."

He sighed softly and looked Alec straight in the eye. "Your not burdening me. Something like that happened to me, with my dad. I mean, he probably always suspected I was bisexual or gay or something like that. My clothes… the way I acted. Stereotypes of the way 'gay people' acted. But when I told him…" Magnus laughed darkly. "He started to stay away from me, never talking to me when we were the only ones in the room. My mom never noticed anything, until one day when she woke up… He wasn't there anymore. All that he left was a scar on my shoulder."

He frowned and shoved his pink shirt down his arm. A black scar trailed down 'till just above his elbow. Alec bites his lip. I want to kiss it and make it feel better… He smiled to himself and looked down, so Magnus wouldn't see him blush.

Magus laughed and slapped his arm. "Go to bed, my little homo." Alec's head snapped up. "Never call me that again. Ever."

He laughed and walked out of the guest bedroom. "Fine… Fine…" But, as soon as he got to the stairs he shouted, "MY LITTLE HOMO!"

Alec collapsed onto the bed, smile plastered onto his face.

My dad kicked me out yesterday so I guess I can say this is turning out to be the… Best. Day. Ever.

*Squeals* Malec fluff!

So I got this quote from Tumblr:

-"You know why I love AUs? Because the whole point of them is that everything is changed, and yet these two people are still going to meet and fall in love- that they are so set in stone and so meant to be that you can literally change everything in a hundred universes and they would still fall in love." –Tumblr: pun-rocker (I believe…. If this isn't correct, let me know and I'll change it.

I just thought that kinda explained why I love AUs and why I am writing this one. So there you guys go. Another chapter. See you next week! Hopefully, by now you know me well enough to know that's not usually the case.
