December 9th: Snowballs
Okay so sorry if this ones not very good, I have a language assignment due on wednesday and I just found out that literally all the work I've been doing on it is unusable, so I have to write like a 15 page odyssey themed newspaper in 2 days and have been literally writing non stop since 2pm. I'm a little written out xD Well this one's beginning is similar to the Two Truths one Lie one because this is the original plot for it. Hope you like it!
Cassandra Clare owns all this stuff.
"I am soooo bored." Jace whined from the couch.
Magnus rolled his eyes as he walked past him into the kitchen to refill his coffee. "Maybe you should have thought of that before you invaded my house." He muttered.
Jace stuck his tongue out at him. The four shadowhunters plus Simon had arrived at Magnus's flat about two hours ago, and had been sitting around not doing much since. Izzy was sprawled out on the floor in front of the fire browsing through Magnus's nail polish and fashion magazines, Clary was curled up on the couch, sketching with Jace's head in her lap, and Simon was just kind of spacing off. Alec stood in the kitchen, arms resting on the counter, looking out the window. "There you are Alec." Magnus said, entering the kitchen, jolting him out of his trance.
"What? Were you looking for me?" He asked a little dazed.
Magnus laughed softly and wrapped his arms around the younger boys waist. "Darling you came in here to get coffee nearly 20 minutes ago. Find something interesting?" He teased.
Alec rolled his eyes and rested his head against Magnus's shoulder. "I was just thinking about something." He sighed.
"Thinking about what?" Magnus asked lightly.
"Just….something." Alec replied, closing his eyes.
Magnus coughed awkwardly, he had a feeling he knew what Alec was thinking about. Ever since he had kissed him in front of everybody, Alec had been spending more and more time with Magnus due to feuds with his parents. "Well...the blond wonder is bored."
"Jace is always bored." Alec murmured.
Magnus laughed at that. "Well, we should go back into the living room." he said gently.
Alec nodded and reluctantly followed him back into where the others were. "-Fine. But I don't want Alec." Jace was saying when they walked back in.
"Good. Hes not for sale." Magnus answered, sitting back down in his previous spot, pulling Alec onto his lap. "So, what are we talking about and why does it involve not wanting Alec?"
"I was just saying that we should have a snowball fight." Izzy explained.
"Ooooh What a splendiferous idea!"
"Really?" Jace said, raising his eyebrows at the sparkly man. "Splendiferous?"
"Yes Johnathon. Splendiferous."
"We can team up, three teams with two people on them." Clary interjected, suddenly looking up from her sketch.
"I get Izzy." Simon said, raising his hand.
"Thats not that hard to do." Jace muttered, earning a glare from said girl.
"Well then I guess I get Clary, since I am not going to be with Alec, and I am certainly not doing anything that involves teamwork with that glittery person." He said, indicating Magnus.
Magnus looked at him indignantly. "Do you have a problem with glitter?"
"Yes, I do-"
"Okay, so boundries." Izzy said, shooting the two a glare. "I think we should just play in the park next to Magnus's building."
Everybody agreed and began getting up to get their coats. Magnus hung back as he buttoned up his dark red coat. His cat like eyes flickered between the group until they fell on Alec. He cocked his head curiously. The boy was usually against going anywhere in the winter. He general just wanted to read by the fire, but right now, he was bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet, looking absolutely thrilled as he wrapped the dark blue scarf Magnus had given him a few months ago around his neck. Magnus watched as he bounded down the stairs and began following the others, still with the same same child-like enthusiasm. This should prove interesting. Magnus thought, amused.
As soon as they hit the park, the three teams split and began racing towards opposite ends of the park. "This way!" Alec called to Magnus, racing off towards an area with only a few trees.
"Alexander dear, shouldn't we go somewhere with more protection?"
Alec shook his head, not stopping. "This way they'll have to cross an open space to get to us." He called over his shoulder.
Magnus chuckled. Clever Alec. When they reached the far corner of the park, Alec slipped into a ditch and motioned for Magnus to do the same. "Now, what do we do now?" He asked.
"Now," Alec said, piling snow up. "You start making snowballs." He shoved the pile towards Magnus.
"Why do I have to do it?"
"Because I'm going to be the look out." He said, as though it was obvious.
"Oh. Of course…."
Alec leaped up and raced over to a nearby tree. Magnus watched with interest as the shadowhunter reached up and hoisted himself into by a low hanging branch. Skillfully, he scaled the trunk and leaped from branch to branch, reminding Magnus a bit of Zoboomafoo, the lemur on that one kids show. Finally, Alec settled on a branch and swung his legs over it, getting situated. Magnus tore his eyes away from him and began making snowballs. He worked on them for about 10 minutes, until he had a huge pile surrounding him. Just then, Alec came flying into the ditch, startling him.
"Alec!" He breathed. "What are you doing here?"
"Jace and Clary are coming." He replied, reaching for a snowball.
Magnus peered over the edge of the ditch, and saw the blond and redhead making a fail attempt at stealthily moving towards them. "Get ready," Alec whispered, crouching down.
As soon as the two were within ten feet, Alec leaped up and began pelting them with snowballs. Clary shrieked as she jumped, not expecting the attack to come from below. Jace spotted Alec and let out a war cry, charging forward. Magnus chucked a snowball at him, which hit him directly in the face, making Magnus extremely happy. Clary was trying to dodge Alec's snowballs, but they kept hitting her. Jace, seeing that his girlfriend was getting slaughtered, reluctantly called a retreat. Magnus and Alec settled back into the ditch. "Wow, I didn't know you and Jace were so competitive…..snowballers…" Magnus commented, suppressing his laughter.
Alec shot him a look. "Thats why Jace doesn't want to be on my team. Izzy is vicious, but Jace can usually take her down by himself. If we were both on the same team, nobody would stand a chance. We are professionals." Alec finished, smiling.
Magnus gasped. "Did you just make a joke?"
Alec rolled his eyes. "Yes. I am capable of that you know."
Magnus raised his eyebrows. "But you never do."
Alec frowned. "I prefer to concentrate my effort on snowballing instead. Much more useful."
Magnus laughed. "You have no idea how turned on I get by professional snowballers."
Alec raised his eyebrows. "You are strange."
Magnus sighed. "And yet he still fails to recognize a joke."
"Incoming." Alec said suddenly, crouching down.
Looking up, Magnus saw Jace and Clary making their way back towards them, and he assumed his battle position. The next few assaults yielded similar results to the first one, until Jace and Clary got Izzy and Simon and the four of them attacked. Even with all four, Magnus and Alec still didn't go down without a fight. In the end, the snowball fight turned into more of a snow pile fight, with the six of them laughing and kicking snow at each other and running around until the sun had already begun to set. When it got so dark that they couldn't even see in front of them, the gang headed back inside and Clary immediately passed out on the couch, followed a few minutes later by Simon, Izzy and Jace, all on different pieces of furniture. Alec managed to stay away until he reached Magnus's bedroom, in which he collapsed, exhausted, half undressed with his jeans and socks still on. This left Magnus, who was wide awake, all alone to play with Chairman meow.
When he finally crawled into bed and lay down next to Alec, the sun was all the way down and it was nearing midnight. Magnus lay in the darkness next to his boyfriend, still unable to sleep. His eyes fell on the sleeping figure beside him, and he began looking at the runes, still traced onto Alec's porcelain skin. Magnus had always loved shadowhunter runes, the intricate designs intrigued him, but he thought they looked especially beautiful on Alec. Gently, he traced a finger over the dark black marks he knew so well, causing Alec to stir.
"What are you doing?" He mumbled softly, still half asleep.
"Just admiring your runes darling." Magnus whispered.
Alec rolled over and looked at him through half closed eyes. Magnus smiled, unable to stop himself. Alec looked adorable like this, half asleep, with his black hair all messed up and one arm crossed over his chest. "Your strange." He muttered, closing his eyes again and curling up against Magnus's chest.
Magnus wrapped his arms around his waist and buried his face in the younger boys hair. "Aku mencintaimu" He whispered.
Woot! I got it done before midnight! So...umm...oh ya some people were saying that I should make the last one into a longer story, so I have decided to do that...except that it probably won't be up until after christmas due to finals and stuff like that.
