Chapter 8 "The Date"

It was time. Soon it would all begin and Alec was nervous as hell.

It was Friday night and Isabelle and he had come back home from shopping, it had been pure torture. Alec had lost count on how many things he had tried on. Izzy had not shown any mercy, she was a demon when it came to clothes and shopping. She was currently searching for the perfect outfit, so her brother just sat on the chair in his room and waited.

Just thinking about the date made him want to vomit, not in a bad way, he was just so nervous.

What if I'm underdressed? What if I do something stupid and he'll think I'm an idiot? What if I spill my drink on him? What if-

And so on and so on. He just couldn't stop thinking of all the bad things that could happen. Alec had gotten the impression that Magnus was an expert in clothing. The way he dressed was astonishing and Alec felt ugly beside him with his plain black sweaters and ripped jeans.

Oh God, I sound like a teenage girl…

Running his fingers through his midnight-black hair, Alec asked his sister if she was finished with searching for an outfit. Right on cue she appeared and handed him his clothes.

The first piece of clothing was a dark blue button-down shirt which apparently brought his eyes out. Then much too tight black pants for Alec's liking, but he was sure that he had no say in this.

"Get dressed," his sister commanded him and clapped her hands.

Alec gave her an annoyed look and walked into the bathroom to change. The trousers were a bit difficult to put on, but after he managed to do so, he presented himself to Isabelle.

Her eyes widened as she looked at him.

"Alec, I didn't know you could look so good!" she said and the tall teen rolled his eyes at her. His sister approached him and took his outfit entirely in.

"I approve. Now let's start with your hair."

"No, you won't do anything, I like how it is," Alec replied and backed away from her. Why would she want to do something with it? Unconsciously he tried to flatten his hair, but failed miserably. The beautiful girl seemed to think about something.

"Well, I guess some like the bed-hair look; it doesn't look so bad on you. But maybe we could pluck your eyebrows…?"

"No!" For Alec this conversation was over. Izzy sighed as she knew she couldn't convince her brother, but she was grateful that he even went shopping with her.

"I guess we're finished then," she told the older boy and made her way out of the room. Before she disappeared Isabelle told him something.

"I swear, Alec. If he doesn't find you hot, then there must be something wrong with him."

Alec blushed as he lost sight of his sister. He was ready for his date…wasn't he? Goddammit, why was he so nervous? Ok, he already knew the answer to that stupid question.

First of all, Magnus was hot, really hot. The confused teen still couldn't believe that someone that good looking would go out with him. He definitely was the ugliest out of the Lightwood children…

Second, he would certainly screw something up. It was just the way he was, Alec couldn't change himself. He once had tried…it hadn't ended well. He would do something stupid and everything would be ruined, but maybe that wouldn't happen?

Third…why did there always have to be a third reason? Two were already enough for him.

Alec looked at the watch and stood up quickly.

Dammit! I have to be at Taki's in half an hour!

Grabbing his jacket while running down the stairs he quickly said goodbye to Izzy who was grinning like an idiot. He opened the door, slammed it and stopped.

Where the heck is the car?!

His first thought was, that someone had maybe stolen it, but then he noticed the small note below his feet.

Sorry for taking the car, but I can't let the cute little redhead wait.

~Jace :)

I'm gonna kill him.

Alec had no choice left, he had to run. He scrunched the note and started to jog down the block.

He was glad, that he sometimes went running and had to think of the commercial for H&M with David Beckham. The song matched his situation.

Alec hoped he wouldn't be soaked with sweat when he arrived at Taki's. Man, he screwed the date up before it had even started. Pathetic.

He passed people who looked at him weirdly and pretended he didn't notice them. So embarrassing. Slowly his throat started to burn and he had to stop for a short time to catch his breath. At this speed he would never arrive in time. He closed his eyes and tried to calm his heavily beating heart down.

"What a coincidence," a person next to him said and surprised Alec opened his blue eyes.

Perfect, just perfect.

Jonathan was smirking and stood arrogantly before him. Why was he even here?

"What are you doing here?" Alec asked annoyed and looked at the watch on his mobile phone. He had 15 minutes till the date started.

"Just going for a walk. Late for something?" the platinum haired teen replied.

"Maybe, if you don't mind, I'd like to go now," he turned away to start running again, but Jonathan grabbed him by his wrist and held him back.

"But I mind," Jonathan said with a smile on his face and pulled Alec a little closer. Said person started to panic a little and struggled under his firm grip. Finally he managed to free himself and ran away.

What was that?!

Alec pushed the door to Taki's open and looked at the clock on the wall. He was just five minutes too late. Looking around he found Magnus at the middle of the big room, sitting at the table while playing with his fingernails. As he noticed Alec his whole face lit up and the smaller of the two had to catch his breath.

Magnus looked like a god, ok, more like a glitter god, but still…wow. He wore a dark green v-neck shirt, which seemed to glint, and it really brought out his breathtaking green-yellow eyes. His ocher pants were so tight that it made Alec wonder, how he even got them on. But they…complimented his ass.

He didn't really wear so much make-up. The eyeliner made his eyes pop out and the dark green eyeshadow completed his outfit. Magnus' hair was down and without any colors, but Alec could see that it glittered.

"Can we stop staring at each other now? I'm flattered and I could stare at you forever, but wouldn't you like to sit down?" Magnus said with an amused smile which showed his perfect white teeth.

Needless to say Alec blushed and quickly pulled the chair out and sat in front of his date.

"Darling, you look amazing!" the cat eyed teen exclaimed and chuckled as Alec's cheeks changed their color again.

"Ah, thank you," Alec replied awkwardly at being complimented, he just wasn't used to it. Jace or Isabelle were always told they were good looking, he was always left behind.

"So, should we order then?" Magnus asked him as he saw the waitress walk towards them.

"What can I bring you?" she asked and flashed them a smile.

"I'd like a mimosa and the steak," the sparkling teen ordered. What a strange combination.

"Oh-ah, for me a glass of water and spaghetti." The waitress left and Magnus chuckled.

"Water?"

"Why not? I like water…" Alec murmured and looked down.

"Why did you agree to this?" Magnus asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?" he replied.

"The date. I thought you weren't one for going out so quickly."

"Ahm, I like you and I thought that you were, uh, well…," Alec stammered.

At that Magnus had to smile again and traced lines on Alec's hand. The touch made the younger of the two shudder and flush.

"You looked a little bit out of breath when you arrived, is there a special reason for that, beside my fabulous appearance?"

"My stupid brother took the car and I had to run, sorry," Alec told him and felt guilty.

"Don't be sorry, you can't do anything about your brother's stupidity. Didn't he know you had a date?" Magnus asked.

"Not really," Alec admitted, "my sister knows though." His maybe-soon-boyfriend raised an eyebrow at that.

"Your sister?"

"Isabelle."

"Oh, how could I forget her? The resemblance is stunning," Magnus said and seemed really a little bit sorry for not remembering her.

"She was always nice, even defended me a little when they kicked me out of their little popular club."

"Yeah." Alec felt really uncomfortable at the subject at hand. He somehow was ashamed of his brother. How could he have done something like that? Magnus didn't deserve that.

He was brought back to reality as the waitress returned with their drinks and food. It smelled delicious and Alec's mouth watered. They stopped talking to eat and it was even better than it smelled. Soon they were both full and were laughing again.

All of a sudden Magnus brought his hand to Alec's face and with his finger he wiped spaghetti sauce of the corners of the currently stunned teen's mouth and seductively licked it.

Oh God.

Alec was hypnotized and uncounciously licked his upper lip. Magnus seemed to take this as a good sign. He slowly moved forward until their faces were only inches away. They listened to each other's breath and the smaller boy looked at Magnus' full lips.

Is he…going to kiss me? What should I do? Oh my G-

He was cut off in his thoughts as their lips crashed together. At first it was a little bit awkward, like they didn't really know what to do, but after a short moment Alec nearly melted. Their lips seemed to fit perfectly, a pleasant shudder went down the unsure teen and they pulled apart.

Magnus' eyes had darkened and even he looked a little bit stunned.

Did we just…kiss?

A small smile graced Alec's face and he kissed him again. It just felt too good. Magnus slowly started to kiss back and grinned into the kiss.

Alec had never felt this happy in his life before, this was just perfect and nothing could ever destroy this moment.

But all his hopes were shattered as he looked out of the restaurants window.

I guess you all hate me now :) I just won't give Alec a break, will I? Soooo, how did you like the date? I'm kind of proud of this chapter. Goal for this chapter: 10 reviews. I know that this is a little too much to ask for, but it was the date chapter. Review? You'll get double chocolate cookies :3
