Chapter Seven: Fake Smiles

Disclaimer: Not Mine

POV: Magnus

I woke up and moved to stretch but I found myself being held down by a pair of pale white arms.

"Darling we have to get up" I said sleepily and Alec moaned beside me, I laughed and Alec hit me in the gut.

"Its Sunday" Alec mumbled "I always sleep in on Sundays" and with that he went to roll over but I started tickling him; making an unmanly squeal he fell of the bed.

"Come on" I complained "I actually want to do something today", Alec got up and gave me a wary look.

"What did you have planned?" he asked while looking around for his clothes; quietly while he was distracted I snuck up behind him and started kissing his neck.

"Izzy suggested that we all meet up" I told him between kisses and he gave me a look before twisting out of my grip.

"Okay first of all" Alec said putting on jeans and starting to button up his shirt "If we start kissing then we really won't do anything today and two who is all of us?"

"Well Jace is town according to Izzy so we were going to arrange a picnic or something like that" I told him and he looked at me with a surprised and happy look.

"Really?" he asked partially jumping on the spot "Jace is here?" I smiled and nodded and he started smiling ear to ear.

"I thought it was about time that I meet him" I told him and he smiled and pulled me into a tight hug.

"I'd love that" he said then breaking the hug he stepped back and looked at me "But first you need to get changed and glamour up" he said kissing me on the check.

"How about you make us some breakfast while I get dressed" I said placing my hands on his hips and he nodded; we shared a long kiss before he left the room. When I got out of the shower, was changed and had applied my makeup I went to go into the kitchen but just as I'd reached the door I heard voices behind it. I recognized Alec and Izzy's but the other voice I'd never heard before.

"You should have told me, that's all I'm saying" the unfamiliar voice said and I heard Izzy scoff.

"You never pick up anyway!" she exclaimed angrily "You're too busy with all of your famous friends to talk to me and Alec so don't you tell us off Jace!" 'Oh so this is the Jace Izzy wants me to meet' I thought to myself.

"Where is the glitter queen anyway?" Jace asked and I heard both Izzy and Alec scoff at the same time. "What?" Jace said in a raised voice "He's taking longer than Izzy used to take in the shower" Jace said.

"His name is Magnus, Jace" Alec snarled at Jace "Not 'glitter queen' and Jace laughed.

"Wow" he said still laughing "You really do like him", I could partially see Alec's blush.

"Well he is my boyfriend" Alec said sounding uncomfortable and Izzy scoffed.

"Even if you're dating someone, doesn't mean they like you" she said in a gentle tone "I mean think about Sebastian, Alec" my ears perked up; Alec had never said anything about a '' guy.

"Well I was only young" Alec replied sounding upset "Magnus is different, Izzy", I swear my heart jump a few meters in my chest when he said that.

"How is he different?" Jace snapped "Magnus is a heart breaker Alec" Jace said snarling and I felt the want to slap him "People like him don't change, he's just gonna break your heart like the rest"

"I know his history Jace" Alec exclaimed and I could hear that he was struggling to keep his voice calm "He told me himself and yes it isn't pretty but you don't know him so don't judge him" Alec was almost yelling by now.

"I know Alec" Izzy said "Well I don't know his history but do you remember my motto was in High school?" I heard Alec mumble a no "One's history may shape the person but it's not who they are"

"And you're point Izzy?" Jace asked in a bored tone after a second of silence and Izzy scoffed.

"You have no idea what he's gone through Jace" Alec said angrily and Jace scoffed.

"My point is-"Izzy said interrupting Jace before he could say anything "that Magnus is one the most misunderstood people I've ever meet", I felt oddly touched by her words "And I am not just saying that because he's my boss"

"Jace at least have an open mind when you meet him, that's all I ask" Alec nearly begged "I don't want to mess this up", I heard Jace sigh.

"Fine!" he exclaimed "If he means that much to you I will hold my tongue but if he does one thing I don t like I will not hesitant to put him in his place"

"Then he'll kick you out Jace" Alec said sighing "This is his house after all" I decided I'd heard enough so instead of going into the kitchen I went back to my bedroom. Ten minutes later I heard the door open slowly and Alec looked in with an unsure expression on his face.

"Mags?" he asked when he saw me lying on my bed, I must have looked terrible because when I turned to look at him he gave a chocking noise of surprise.

"What?" I asked quietly turning away from his sad eyes. There was the sound of a door closing and then I felt the bed tilt sideways.

"You heard what Jace said didn't you?" Alec asked making me look at him, I nodded and felt a tear slide down my check. 'Damn it Magnus!' I scolded myself 'You know what people think of you and it's your own fault'.

"But it's all true" I whispered and Alec pulled me into a tight hug, within five minutes his top was soaked with my tears but Alec never stopped holding me the whole time.

"It's not true okay" Alec said when we pulled apart at last "You just had a weird way of dealing with your troubles"

"I'm sorry" I apologized and Alec looked at me confused "You must think I'm a pathetic cry baby" and Alec shook his head at me angrily.

"How can you say that about you're self Magnus?" he exclaimed and I looked at him in surprise "Your just a bit broken Mags, its nothing to be ashamed of"

"You're the first person to ever say that to me" I told him and he gave a slight smile.

"And I'm gonna say it until you believe me" Alec said and kissed me, I melted into the kiss and he smiled.

"Well I'd hate to disturb you two but if we don't leave soon then we'll miss the table I booked. I looked up to see a tall boy who was literally golden; golden blond hair, golden yellow eyes and golden skin. But he did look strangely familiar and not for a good reason.

"I guess your Jace then?" I asked sitting up and he nodded while giving me a wary look. I didn't blame him; I looked a mess.

"Yes" Jace answered uncertainly "Magnus right?" he asked and I nodded, when I looked at Alec he was looking at both me and Jace with a wary look.

"Just let me fix myself up" I told them and went into the bathroom; I heard Alec and Jace leave the bedroom and sunk to the floor. This was going to be a terrible day.

Authors Note:

Sorry this took so long to write but at least it's a long chapter, about one thousand, two hundred and ninety eight I think (not counting the authors note)
