Sooooooooooorry it took so long to get this out! But seriously guys poetry kills me. Dx That ontop of the block I was already having for this chapter equaled this delay. Which I'm sorry about. Did I mention I'm sorry this took so long to get out? Because I am.
I do not own any of the characters that are from the Mortal Instruments series. Just my two made up warlocks and shadowhunter chick.
After a few minutes Magnus returned to the den to find Akol curled into the spot where they had been before. He looked up at the sounds of Magnus's re-entry, and saw that that the high warlock face was twisted with annoyance, he hoped it wasn't something he did. Magnus strode closer looking down at Akol for a moment before he spoke.
"Well as I said, duty calls. This requires me to run out, and unfortunately for quite a while." he said finally, running his long fingers through the spikes of his hair. His tone was annoyed too, but not with him, Akol concluded, but with the situation. And he couldn't blame him, Akol was a little miffed about it too.
"Could I come back over later maybe?" Akol inquired watching the older warlocks face. It lit up and he smirked, and Akol felt a blush creep onto his face.
"Of course. I'l call you after I'm finished." he said his voice oozing with victory.
Akol nodded and stood up taking it as his cue to leave. Magnus caught him around the waist and drew him close, pressing his lips to the young warlock forehead before pulling back and cupping his face. He just looked at Akol for a moment and the released him. There was something in the look, something Akol couldn't place but before he had a chance to ask Magnus was moving away from him and towards the door. Right. He had to leave. Except he so didn't want to. After hesitating for a moment Akol followed Magnus out the door, parting ways silently on the street.

Akol opened the door to his apartment with a sigh and flung it closed behind him. He was frustrated and he didn't know why. He stomped to his bedroom and flung himself on his bed. He was frustrated that he couldn't figure out why he was frustrated. It was all just very confusing. It was obvious enough that he felt something for Magnus, and that Magnus felt something for him.
But that look he gave Akol right after he kissed his forhead was picking at him. It was a strange look. Akol couldn't wrap his mind around it, he looked almost... unsure. But about what? Akol shook his head. He was probably wrong. He rolled so that he was laying on his back and kicked off his shoes. Akol scooted so he was completely on the bed instead of having his legs dangling over the edge.
He rolled to his side as he pondered what to do with his time as he waited to go back over to Magnus's. Deciding that laying in bed and inevitably falling asleep probably wasn't the the best idea, Akol forced himself up and out of his room, and into his living room instead; seating himself on the couch and turning the tv on to watch some more mindless than ever television.
After channle surfing for several minutes, Akol's phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out eagerly, only to be disappointed once again to see that it was only Friner. Well the other warlock had said he was going to text him earlier. He flipped the phone open and read the message.
Still busy?
Akol bit his lip as he considered how to answer.
Why?
Answer the question.Akol furrowed his eyebrows as he read that message, why was Friner being so persistant?
Answer mine first.
That's not fair, I asked mine first.
Akol sighed before replying.
Not at the moment but I have plans later.
How much later?
Whenever I get called.
The texts stopped, and Akol wondered if he had made his friend angry when his phone buzzed, signaling a call from Friner. Quirking an eyebrow Akol answered.
"Yeeees?" he said to his friend.
"Well you were just called so I guess the plans are on huh? Now come over and hang out." Friner said deviously.
Akol sighed. He should have figured "Friner, I can't. Really. I have plans. Important plans." more making out with Magnus plans.
Friner made an irritated noise before answering "Fine. But tomorrow your mine."
Akol rolled his eyes "Maybe."
"Maybe? What do you mean maybe? "
"Maybe, if I'm not busy tomorrow." Akol said biting his lip, hoping his friend would press no further. He had no such luck.
"Seriously Akol? No wait. Don't tell me. It all just fell into place. You have plans with a certain high warlock who ended his party early for a certain dark haired young warlock last night." Akol could hear the evil grin on Friner's face, while his own face darkened a few shades. When he didn't reply his friend pressed on "So that's it?" he laughed "Guess I should have figured that one out right from the get go. Alright. Well then, I'll leave you to you plans." he said with another chuckle and hung up.
Akol scowled at the phone before jamming it back in his pocket and scaning the channels furiously. He could feel that his face was red. He was a bit irritated that Friner had teased him about it, but there was something else too. Some nagging feeling he couldn't pin down. It was was something in his friend's voice near the end. He sounded almost agitated, as if it annoyed him that Akol had made plans with Magnus.
He shook it off and curled up onto the couch, hugging his knees to his chest. He tried to concentrate on the television but there were to many thoughts dancing around in his head. /He sighed and stretched out on the couch, laying on his side towards the tv with a throw pillow under his head. He felt his eyes start to get heavy and droop, overcome with a sudden drowsyness. A few minutes later he was clutching the pillow as he dreamed.

Magnus hated lying. Well, it all depends on your definition of the word. It was true that he had to run out, and for quite sometime. But this had nothing to do with him being the high warlock of Brooklyn. This had to do with him still despite everything, being involved with shadowhunters. The call had been from Samantha's mother, asking if he'd seen the girl. After telling her that Samantha had been at the party he threw last night Lilly had lectured him about leting a young girl come to one of his downworlder parties. Obviously the woman didn't realize that her little girl was all grown up and capable of making her own choices.
Now he was on his way to some diner Samantha had agreed to meet Magnus at in attempt to convince the girl to go back to the institute so he wouldn't have to deal with her mother hounding him. Like it was his fault. He sighed and scowled thinking of Akol. He knew the boy would understand seeing he was a warlock as well. It didn't change the fact that it took a lot of will power to not tell Lilly to shut her face because he was busy with something actually important. If you consider having a make-out session as important. Which Magnus did.
As Magnus saw the diner come into view he told himself not to snap at Samantha. Even though it was partially her fault he was out her instead of at his flat with Akol. Oh how he hated women. He walked into the diner wiping the scowl off of his face and looking for Samantha. He spotted her off in a corner and strode over. Once he came upon the booth he leaned over it too where the girl was studiously staring out the window.
"See anything good." Magnus chuckled darkly as the young shadowhunter jumped a "You're a bit jumpy for a shadowhunther don't you think Samantha?" He smirked as her face contorted.
"Please don't say my full name. I hate it. Sam, or Sammy better yet how about Rose?" she said watching as he slid into the seat opposite.
Magnus snorted "Rose? Your middle name I presume?" like he would keep track.
She nodded and then her face grew serious "What did you want Magnus?"
"I think you know why I'm here." he said switching gears as fast as she had.
The girl scowled "I'm not going back. I can't deal with them anymore." she said crossing her arms childishly and looking away.
"Fine then. That's of no concern to me."
"But I thought that-"
"Hold on, let me finish. I don't care if you go back or not. I really don't. I do care that your mother is riding me ass about it. So give her a call and tell her yourself you're not going back. Right now."
Samantha looked mortified "No."
Magnus frowned "Come on. Just be an adult about this. You are one after all. So start acting like it. I know you have a phone. I want you to pull it out right now and call your damn mother." so much for not getting irritated.
After a moment of silence Samantha pulled out her phone and looked at it before calling her mother. Magnus watched as she squeezed her eyes shut waiting for her mother answer. He leaned his face into his hand watching blankly as the girl argued with her mother. After several minuter she slammed the phone down and she sat back up.
Samantha looked up looking very irritated "You're off the hook."
Magnus gave a silent sigh of relief "Thank you Sa- uh Rose." at that she smiled a little "Well, I'd love to hang around and chat but I have other things to attend to so I must be going."
Samantha sighed "I understand, it's alright someone else is meeting me here anyways." normally Magnus would have pressed for more information, the gossip monger he was, but instead he just nodded and headed out and back of the direction of the flat. Now that, that annoyance was done and over he could get back to what he really wanted to do today. Be with Akol.
Mmkay! I finally finshed this chapter! And I promise I'll try to keep the updates coming quicker.
