Hi, another Chapter for Adopted here :D YAYAYAYAY!
I don't own the mortal instruments Cassandra Clare does :D
For three hours Isabelle dragged Alec around the shopping center, throwing various clothes at him to try on. By the end of their magical shopping adventure Isabelle had bought four outfits for Alec and a pair of shoes for herself.
Alec dragged his feet up the steps to the house Vicky had picked them up from the shop after Isabelle called her to pick them up because she said that they had finished "Their wonderful adventure at the shops and were ready to go home!" Isabelle's' words not Alec's.
"Well someone looks happy" Jace said sarcastically as Alec walked into the lounge room.
"I'm not happy" Alec muttered, sitting down on the couch.
"What has made you so happy?" Jace asked, leaning in closer to Alec "Because you're just radiating happiness, I need to know what has made you so happy?" he asked, the sarcasm dripped from his voice.
Alec sighed, "Well if you must know why I'm radiating happiness" Alec said rolling his eyes, "it's because I just spent two hours with Isabelle shopping for clothes, that's why I'm radiating happiness."
Jace started laughing "So I'm guessing it was the greatest time for your life?" he asked, in between his laughter.
"You guessed wrong" Alec mumbled, standing up and walking out of the room away from his laughing brother.
As he was walking up the stairs he heard screaming coming from Isabelle's room, he ran up the stairs and opened the door to his sister's room. He saw Isabelle standing up on her desk clutching the bag full of Alec's clothes close to her chest and Magnus reaching up trying to get the bag off of her.
"What the hell is going on here?" Alec asked.
Magnus and Isabelle looked towards Alec, "You're boyfriend is trying to look at what I bought you!" Isabelle whisper yelled, holding the bag up above her head away from Magnus.
Alec felt the heat rush up to his face "He's… not my um boyfriend" He said.
"I'm not?" Magnus asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well I don't really know…" Alec said, shrugging, "I thought we were going to figure all that stuff out after the date thingy on Friday."
"That makes sense" Magnus said, he turned back to Isabelle and tried to get the bag off of her.
"Why are you trying to see what Isabelle bought me?" Alec asked.
"I want to see what she got you because" Magnus said, jumping up, "I want to see if it's good or not."
"It's fantastic!" Isabelle yelled "You'll love it all."
"Can I see them?" Magnus asked, "please?!"
"No!" Isabelle yelled.
"Why can't Magnus see any of the clothes?" Alec asked, walking into the room and shutting the door behind him.
"I want it to be a surprise for Magnus" Isabelle said, standing on her tippy toes and holding the bag up higher.
"Iz, just let Magnus see the clothes" Alec said.
Isabelle huffed "Fine, but you two have to go wait outside the door while I set up the outfits" she made shooing motions with her hands, "be gone!"
Alec rolled his eyes at his sister and walked out, Magnus followed him out the room.
They leaned against the wall beside Isabelle's room waiting for her to hurry up.
"So…" Magnus said, peeling himself off the wall and standing in front of Alec, "did you like shopping?"
"No" Alec said.
"Why not?" Magnus asked.
"I don't like walking around a crowded shopping center, looking at pieces of fabric for three hours" Alec mumbled.
Magnus smiled "really?" he asked.
"Really" Alec said, smiling a little.
Magnus chuckled and captured Alec's lips in his own, Alec kissed back but then the reasonable side of his brain was telling him to stop. Alec pushed Magnus off of him and Magnus pouted.
"What is it?" Magnus asked.
"We can't kiss in the middle of the hall!" Alec whisper yelled "anyone can walk past and see us!"
"We weren't kissing in the middle of the hall" Magnus said, "We were kissing on the left wall of the hall."
Alec rolled his eyes and hit Magnus softly on the chest, "very funny" he muttered.
"I know" Magnus said.
Alec rolled his eyes and banged on Isabelle's door, "Are you done yet?" he asked.
The door swung open revealing Isabelle, "you may enter and look at the four fantabulous outfits I created for Alec" she stepped back and let them walk in.
Magnus squealed and ran to Isabelle's bed where she had laid out the clothes. Alec shuffled forward and looked at the clothes because he didn't get a very good look at the clothes when they were at the shops because Isabelle kept throwing more clothes at him to try on.
The first outfit was a pair of black jeans, a plain grey T-shirt and a dark blue blazer, Alec had to admit he liked that outfit because it probably was the plainest thing there. The second outfit was a pair of red skinny jeans, a formal white shirt and a brown jacket, Alec kinda liked it but because of the colour he didn't love it.
The third outfit was a pair of electric blue skinny jeans, a tight white shirt and a black leather jacket, Alec didn't like the outfit because of how tight it was not because of the style or something. The last outfit was probably his least favourite it was a pair of tight black leather pants, a tight blue T shirt and a black vest with a few silver studs.
"I love them all!" Magnus said.
Isabelle squealed and hugged Magnus "I knew you would I just knew it!" she pulled back, "So which one is your favourite?" She asked.
"That one" Magnus said pointing at the last outfit.
"I hate that one" Alec said.
"Why?" Magnus asked, "That outfit is amazing! I bet you that it you would look amazing in it."
"I remember when I tried it on" Alec said, "It was really tight."
"Really?" Magnus asked, smiling, "then you would look hot in it."
Alec shook his head "no I wouldn't."
"Yes you would" Magnus said, "you would look extremely hot."
Alec snorted, "no."
"I agree with Magnus" Isabelle said, "You looked amazing when I saw you in it."
"Oooo!" Magnus said, turning to Isabelle, "did the outfit make his eyes pop?" He asked, "Did his butt look extremely sexy in those pants? Did he look like sex in the outfit? Did he make you drool?" Magnus asked Isabelle.
Alec felt the heat creep up to his cheeks. Did Magnus really want to know all of that stuff? He thought
"His eyes did pop in the outfit" Isabelle said, "And I can't answer your next questions because that would be extremely creepy."
"You're right…" Magnus said, "But it doesn't really matter, I already know that Alec would look absolutely hot in every single outfit you picked out for him."
Alec felt more heat creep up onto his cheeks. Magnus really thinks that? He thought, smiling a little.
Of course not! The little voice said, Magnus is just pretending, he's acting like he likes you. The little voice laughed and Alec dropped his smile.
"I think you should wear the last outfit on our date" Magnus said smiling.
"I agree with that!" Isabelle said.
"I'm not wearing that!" Alec said.
Magnus pouted "why not?" he asked.
"Yeah, why not?" Isabelle asked.
"Because I don't like it, it's too tight and it's just not… me" Alec said, shrugging.
"Alec come on!" Magnus said, he walked up to Alec and wrapped his arms around Alec's waist, "Please, for me."
Alec shook his head stubbornly, "No, I'm not" Alec said.
Magnus pouted "Pleeease?!" Magnus begged.
Alec shook his head, "No."
"Come on Alec" Isabelle said, "Wear the outfit for your… whatever he is."
"No" Alec said, twisting out of Magnus's grip and walking out of the room. He knew that if he stayed there for a minute longer he would've caved in and let them make him were the tight outfit on Friday.
He walked into his room got took off the shirt Jace gave him and put a sweater on and threw himself down onto his bed. He sighed and shut his eyes, he tried to shut his thoughts off and get a little bit of a rest because he spent three hours shopping for clothes and he had a terrible day at school.
Unfortunately Max came barging in jumping on top of him. Alec winced and sat up.
"What's wrong?" Max asked him, his glasses were askew and his eyes were filled with concern, "does it have to do with those bruises on your body?" Max asked.
Alec looked at Max "when did you see the bruises?" he asked.
"When you switched shirts with Jace in the car this afternoon" Max said, "I was looking."
"Oh…" Alec said.
"That mark that you have on your face wasn't caused by a pole was it?" Max asked, "It was caused by the person who gave you those bruises weren't they?" Max asked.
"Yeah" Alec said.
"Who hurt you Allie?" Max asked.
"It doesn't really matter" Alec said, he reached over and straightened Max's glasses.
"Okay" Max said, "Anyway Vicky asked me to come and get you, dinner's ready."
Alec nodded and got up "Let's go eat some food" he grabbed Max and pulled him up onto his back giving him a piggy back ride.
Max giggled "To the kitchen!" Max yelled.
Alec laughed and walked downstairs to the kitchen.
"You're really slow" Max said, when they were halfway down the stairs.
"Oh really?" Alec asked, looking behind at Max.
"Yep you are" Max said.
Alec looked back and smiled to himself, he started running down the stairs at full speed. Max screamed, a high pitched scream, and started giggling. Alec jumped down the last four steps and started spinning around on the landing.
Max was giggling the whole time, "Okay stop!" Max yelled after several spins, "I'm getting dizzy!"
Alec stopped and Max slid off his back, stumbling a little when he tried to walk. Alec steady Max.
"Whoa" Alec said, "You alright?" he asked.
Max nodded "Yep, I'm just really dizzy!" Max giggled and fell over.
Alec picked Max up and steady him on his feet, "you okay now?" he asked.
Max nodded "yep!"
They walked into the kitchen, Max was still giggling.
Alec went over and sat down next Magnus, Vicky passed out their dinner, pasta.
"I know you won't eat any of it" Vicky said, when she gave Alec his food, "But just in case you feel like eating I'll give you some."
Alec smiled "Thank you" he said.
Everyone started eating and talked about their day. Isabelle was talking about their wonderful shopping trip and she was explaining each outfit she bought Alec in detail.
"You should eat something" Magnus whispered, "Seriously you should."
Alec nodded and started to eat the food Vicky put out in front of him. It was pretty good.
"He eats!" Vicky yelled jumping up and pointing at Alec.
Alec looked up at Vicky and rolled his eyes.
"Don't give me attitude Mister" Vicky said, "You're eating! For the first time in forever!" she started jumping up and down, she shook Jeffery's shoulder "We need to get this on camera or something! This is an important event!" she squealed.
Isabelle and Jace started laughing "Quick get out the camera!" Jace said, "Alec's eating! He's not going to waste away into nothing! It's a glorious day!"
Alec rolled his eyes at Jace and continued on eating. He could hear Magnus laughing beside him.
Vicky calmed down and sat down, "So there children, I lost my cool there for a minuet" she said, tucking a stray hair behind her ear.
"Can't lose what you never had" Magnus said.
"Show your mother some respect boy" Jeffery said.
"Sorry mum" Magnus said, returning to his food.
The rest of the dinner was spent with Jeffery talking about the camping trip he set up for them on the weekend, seeing as it was a long weekend.
Alec finished his dinner. When Vicky found out that he had eaten everything she screamed and hugged him like a crazy person.
After dinner Magnus suggested that they do homework. Alec agreed and the two of them ended up sprawled across Alec's bed asleep with half answered science questions around them in.
sorry that the ending isn't that fantastic but I got tired and I really wanted to post the story today :D
So tell me what you think about it!
