A/N: Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry! I know I'm awful! :P This chapter sucks. Sorry.

I own zilch!

"Alec!" Isabelle ran into her older brother's room, the door swinging open and slamming into the wall. Alec jerked awake, sitting up in bed, eyes wide. "What the hell Izzy!"

She smiled sweetly like she didn't do anything. "You know Magnus is having a party tonight."

Alec rubbed his eyes and yawned, "Yes I know, he told me. Why!"

"We're going."

He groans and lays back down, "No I'm not Isabelle. Magnus doesn't care that I'm not going, you can go."

"Alec, you have to go. He's your boyfriend!" She leans against the wall.

Alec sat up quickly, "Izzy! Shut up."

"Oops, sorry.. Anyways, you're going. You need to get out more. We're leaving in a few hours!" Isabelle skips off down the hall, going into her own bedroom to get ready. Alec sighed, did she say a few hours? He looks over at the clock on his bedside table, 5:15. He slept all day. Rubbing his eyes again he reached for his phone, clicking on the screen. He had numerous texts from Magnus.

1:00: Hey darling!

1:23: You know the party I'm having?

1:48: You're coming right. I know you don't want to but I really want you to come!

2:36: Alec?

3:18: Are you up?

3:54: Its almost 4 get out of bed!

4:25 *sigh* I'll text Izzy if I have to.

4:49: I'm going to Alexander. You will not like how she wakes you either.

5:02: You leave me no choice!

Alec smiled and set his phone down, deciding not to tell Magnus that he'll be at the party. He gets out of bed and walks down the hall, shouting out to Izzy as he passes her room, "Don't tell Magnus I'm coming to the party." She mumbled in agreement and he went down stairs to get something to eat. After eating he watched some random cartoon on TV until he had to get ready.

Walking back to his room he looked around and found some relatively tight jeans and a tighter sweater with no holes in it. Alec threw the clothes on and slipped his feet into his boots. He looked at his hair, trying to do something to it but ended up giving up. He walked back downstairs and sat on the couch until his sister walked down the stairs.

"Ready to go?" He looked at her from the couch. "Yep"

The two got in car, Alec driving them to Magnus' house. When they arrived the party was in full swing. They parked and Isabelle ran right in, Alec, however, took his time. He walked in slowly and glanced around for Magnus. Alec walked through the people on the dance floor, stopping when he saw Magnus. Magnus with some other boy, whom was trying to dance with Magnus. His boyfriend. Alec clenched his fisted, wanting to pull the guy off, but he couldn't unless he wanted everyone to know about him and Magnus. Just as Alec went to turn away Magnus looked at him, his eyes going wide. "Alec!"

Alec spun on his heels, shoving his way through the dancer and out of the house. He walked quickly, his thoughts racing. It did look like Magnus was trying to push him off, even before he saw me. But still! No one should be able to touch Magnus. My Magnus. Even if Magnus was trying to get away.

Alec stopped under a light pole, sitting on the side walk, his knees drawn up to his chest. He picked up a rock and was about to throw it when he heard shoes hitting the ground near him. He glanced up and saw Magnus running toward him, looking slightly out of breath. The elder sat down, looking at Alec. "Alec?"

He didn't respond, just gripped the rock in his hand tighter. "Alec I wasn't doing anything. I swear. He came onto me I was trying to push him away. I would never do something like that to you."

Alec threw the rock, groaning in frustration, causing Magnus to flinch back. "It's not fair! I should be the one dancing with you like that. I should've been able to walk in there and pull him off you. Tell him not to touch my boyfriend." He sighs, suddenly starting to talk very quietly. "But I can't, because I'm a coward."

Magnus glances around, after seeing no one outside he shifts closer to Alec and slips arm around him slowly. "You're not a coward Alec." Alec shakes his head, leaning closer to him, "I am.."

"I went through the same thing once too. No one knew, I didn't want anyone to know. And I'm not going to lie, coming out was hard. But if I hadn't I wouldn't have you. You mean so much to me Alec. And it kills me to hear you talk down to yourself. You're not a coward, and you never will be. No to me."

Alec looked up at Magnus, "Really?"

"Yes, really." Alec nods, "Will you come back to the party?"

He shakes his head, standing up, "I'd rather just go home." Magnus nods and stands also, takes Alec's hand slowly, Alec leads them to him car. "Wait, what about Izzy?"

"I'll drive her home. Don't worry," Alec smiles, stops at his car, taking his hand back. "Why're you having a party anyways?" He pauses, "Oh no, it's not your birthday is it?" Alec asks him in a slight panic, worried he missed it.

Magnus laughs, "No it's not, that's next Saturday." He smiles and waves at Alec, walking off to his house. Alec stands there for a bit, trying to figure out if Magnus' birthday is really in a week, or if he was kidding.
