SUP YA'LL I'M BACK! I didn't drop off the face of the earth unless you count winter break because haha I didn't see people for days on end but I'm back now! I'm the least motivated person alive but I'm going to work hard to update more often than 2 months I think that's a reasonable goal if I do say so myself! Tell me how I did?

Enjoy!

(Izzy POV)

Izzy was speechless. Her brother, the same guy who wore ugly sweaters two sizes too big because they "looked good on him", just gave her advice in fashion. Turning to the mirror, she looked at this "unflattering" outfit, as Alec put it. It wasn't that bad, although the brown jacket wasn't her greatest idea. How he was able to notice that shade of her bomber jacket when he usually can't tell blue and dark purple apart at a glance was beyond her. Izzy was shrugging her jacket off when her cell on the night table started ringing.

"Hello?" she said into the receiver.

"Izzy? It's Jace. So apparently last night there was a ton of demons attacking passerby. I don't know I just heard it from Simon, he said it was on the news there was a bunch of "murders" but I suspect more. Anyways, we should go tonight and check it out in case. I'm out right now but I'll be at the Institute later and we can leave around 6."

"Sure thing. See you later." And with that, she hung up the phone.

"Alec!"

(Magnus POV)

"Alec!" He heard Isabelle scream from across the hall. For a moment he didn't answer, he had forgotten exactly where he was.

"Oh wait," Magnus chuckled to himself. "That's me now! Yes sister dear?" he said stepping out into the hall.

"Tonight at six, you me and Jace are going out and kicking some ass. I don't have a location yet; Jace didn't tell me, but I'll let you know when he does. You are free, right?" She had her hands on her hips and a face that said it didn't matter if he was free or not. Magnus tried it anyways."

"Well, I did have-"

"Nope. You're coming with us," Izzy strutted into her room and turned on some pop music he wasn't familiar with.

Ah, welcome to the life of Alec Lightwood.

Magnus went back into Alec's room and grabbed the ringing cell phone off the nightstand.

"Hello?" Magnus didn't even finish the introduction before he heard incoherent noises and a quick, "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?"

"Care to try that again?" Magnus said into the phone with humor laced in his voice.

"Before I start losing my mind I would just like to say I love you. Now, I just got a call from someone whose name I didn't recognize and they asked if they could bring friends to "my party" tomorrow night. I was unaware I was having a party tomorrow and this is a really REALLY BAD TIME TO THROW A PARTY. MAGNUS I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SOCIALIZE WITH STRANGERS. HOW? THIS ISN'T OKAY HELP WHAT DO I DO?" By the end of this, he was holding the phone about a foot from his ear.

Shit. He totally forgot he was throwing another party. There wasn't even a reason he just really felt like being in that party atmosphere again.

"Alec! Calm down!"

"HOW?"

"We can get through this, okay? There are probably too many people to cancel by this point. I sent invitations out a week ago. I promise I'll wake up extra early and help you out."

"I actually kind of already promised that we'd go out to lunch with Jace and Clary tomorrow,but after you'll help?"

"Yes of course! And after tonight, I'll need to eat my feelings at lunch tomorrow…"

"What's going on tonight?"

"I guess there have been some demon problems in the city and I have to go fight. What did I do to deserve this? I am the Magnificent Magnus fucking Bane-"

"Magnus I've told you not to swear," Alec whined. It was so adorable when he did that, so why stop?

"Excuse me. I am Magnus Bane the High Warlock of this whole city. I do not sweat. I do not know how to handle actual weapons. I've only ever used magic and spells to fight things off and I just…ALEC HELP ME."

(Alec POV)

"What's that? I thought I just heard the- what did you call yourself? The Magnificent Magnus Bane?" Alec laughed.

"Did you just make a joke? Wow maybe this little arrangement is for the best. Anyways, if you're going to make fun of me then I could always just leave you alone tomorrow night."

"No no no it's ok. I'll be nice now!" Help was necessary because there was no way Alec could throw a party for his family, let alone hundreds of random Downworlder strangers.

"First things first, how exactly do I wield a seraph blade? Wait, you like using your bow and arrows don't you?"

"Don't bring them because Jace and Izzy will realize something is wrong right away. All you have to do is get seraph blades from the weapons room. Just follow Jace beforehand and grab a bunch. Then you just simply name them after an Angel. I can't explain how to fight over the telephone. That part you'll have to figure out yourself. Come over after, ok? And please stay safe!" He knew he sounded like a mom sometimes but when you have Magnus for a boyfriend, well, you never know what to expect.

"Well I sort of knew all that but I figured there wasn't much you could tell me. Sorry babe, just stressed out. I'll be careful!"

"Wow really? Thank you Mag-"

"Maybe." Magnus laughed and hung up just like that. Alec was ready to start pulling hair out. He should get a trophy for staying sane with this man.

(Magnus POV)

A few hours later…

Magnus was standing in the middle of the weapons room, staring off into space and unsure of what to do. He held in his hands two seraph blades and Jace, Clary, and Izzy were running around grabbing things and lacing up boots.

Magnus already got the uniform right; he had seen it on Alec enough times and boy did he pay attention to his outfits. Now that he had a hold of Alec, no more of those faded sweaters. Just for kicks, earlier, he walked around the Institute in the one outfit he bought Alec a couple weeks ago. The day Alec wore these clothes of his own will would be the day Jace's self-esteem plummeted. Clad in dark wash skinny jeans and a simple aqua V-neck, Alec was looking hot. It was very low-maintenance which was something he had always loved about Alec but it hugged him in all the right places instead of sagging. He got some pretty interesting reactions from his boyfriend's family members. Clary noticed and just laughed to herself. Speaking of the fiery redhead, she was waving her hands in front of his face.

"Hello? Earth to Alec?" She was still acting way too friendly. Maybe she and Alec were getting along better and he never told Magnus.

"Oh, yeah sure. Where are the sensors again?" He spun a full 360 on his heels and looked around. He'd never been in this room of the Institute before and it wasn't exactly organized.

Izzy raised an eyebrow at him. "Where they usually are? They're in the drawer." She pointed over to a wooden table by the door.

"Oh yeah," Magnus laughed. "Of course, sorry, I'm a little tired."

"Really? You seem more lively than usual." She shrugged. "Ready to go?" Izzy grabbed the bow and arrows off the table where her whip was lying in the light making the gold look almost sparkling. She held them out for "Alec" to take but they just stood there for a while until Magnus figured out she was offering them to him.

"I won't be needing those today." He said like it was no big deal.

Izzy looked taken aback. "What do you mean? You always use your bow. I don't even remember the last time you left without them. Are you okay, Alec? What are you going to use? Seraph blades?"

"Well yeah, that's what I figured I would use. I just don't feel like my aim is all here today." Clary giggled into her arm and transitioned into coughing. But that wasn't funny?

Magnus and Izzy just started into each other's eyes for a bit before she sighed and walked away.

"Whatever floats your boat."

Jace popped his head in the door. "Are we going or are we just going to sit here and stare at each other all night? I have plans later can we just get this over with?"

"Yeah, yeah we're coming. Calm down Jace." Alec retorted with a smirk, grabbed the sensor and walked out of the room.

"Did Alec just tell me to calm down? The world has to be ending." And with that they all made their way out to the front of the Institute and made their way to wherever Jace dragged them. Magnus never dreamed that during his lifetime he'd be stuck fighting without magic. He just hoped he didn't completely screw this up.

I hope it was alright! I promise (hope?) more interesting events will take place later!
