December 21st: Party Hopping
Hey guys I'm BAAACCKK! So this is based off of How I Met Your Mother episode..the one with the New Years Parties...and they meet that guy who they think is Moby….and ya…..GUYS I THINK THIS IS THE LONGEST ONE YET SO ENJOY!
Cassandra Clare….possee….ellos.
Also...the basis of this plot belongs to HIMYM people...cause I'm sure their reading Malec fics and are just like...MALEC YES MALEC OH I SHIP THEM SO -...wait….HEY THIS CHICK STOLE OUR IDEA! BRING OUT…,,THE LLAMAS OF DEATH!.
"Alec, have you ever even been to a christmas party that wasn't a shadowhunter one?" Magnus asked, regarding his boyfriend over the top of his wine glass.
"Hmm...not really. I don't see the big attraction. I mean...you sit around...and...what? listen to people screeching unrecognizable christmas songs and get really really wasted?"
Magnus gasped, pretending to be offended. "Not at all! Well...getting wasted..yes..but christmas parties are amazing!"
"Oh really? And why are you drinking wine? Its 10am."
"Well its after 5 somewhere in the world, and I am getting Izzy, Jace, Clary...and I suppose Sedric can come to….and we are going party hoping tonight!"
"Simon. And no! No more downworlder parties!"
Magnus sighed, this would take some persuasion.
"I am not wearing that.' Alec said, wrinkling his nose at the sparkling blue shirt and right white shimmering jeans Magnus was trying to pawn off on him.
The warlock sighed. He hadn't really expected that to work. "Fine...we'll tone it down a bit."
Magnus went back to sifting through his wardrobe, and Alec went back to awkwardly sitting on the edge of their bed. After a little bit, Magnus straighten up, holding a pair of dark jeans and a light blue dress shirt. He showed it to Alec, who, after a minute of contemplation, nodded. "Yes!" Magnus did a victory dance and handed the clothes to Alec, then he turned back to tackle the problem of finding himself something to wear. (A/N: okay...I know in like every fanfic were Magnus gets clothes for Alec almost 95% of the time theres a blue shirt...but seriously...blue is just that boys color xD)
"No. I don't want to." Alec insisted, crossing his arms.
"Please Alec! For me?" Magnus was standing in front of his boyfriend in the kitchen, wielding a stick of eyeliner.
"No! No make up!"
"But its just a little, please! You'd look absolutely gorgeous! Not that you don't already." he purred, moving closer.
Alec blushed and leaned into him. "Fine." He muttered.
For some reason he could never say no to Magnus.
All in all, it took a good three hours, maybe more, to get ready, and Magnus was just finishing up his make-up when the door rang.
"Hey! Are you ready to- Wow Alec." Izzy stared open mouthed at the man who had opened the door.
Alec blushed. He was wearing the clothes that Magnus had picked out for him, which were a little tighter than his normal clothes, his hair was straighter and was more tamed than usual, and his blue eyes were rimmed with just the slightest tint of eyeliner. "You look..different." Clary said.
"Doesn't he?" Magnus strode in from the other room, looking quite pleased with him.
"How did you do it?!" Izzy asked, impressed. "I've been trying to get him to wear make-up and do something with that hair for ages."
Magnus wiggled his eyebrows at her. "Well...he does have a weakness for extremely sexy warlocks."
Jace snorted and Alec blushed darker. "Well, are we going or what?" He asked, hastily changing the subject.
"Right! Where's party number one?" Simon asked.
"Follow me! We're going on..and ADVENTURES!" Magnus cried, bounding down the steps.
"Did Magnus just quote the Hobbit?" Simon asked Alec quietly.
"I don't even know anymore."
They all piled into the limo Magnus had insisted he rented . "Yes Alec, with actual money. I don't steal everything." Alec and Magnus were squashed in the corner, with Izzy and Simon next to them, and Jace and Clary next to them. "Party number one!" Magnus said excitedly as they pulled up in front of an apartmentish thing. Alec looked at it skeptically as they stepped out. "Are you sure this is safe?" He asked.
"Oh course darling! When have I ever done anything that wasn't safe!"
"Uhh..that one time when-"
"Yes well, this party is perfectly safe. Just don't drink anything that isn't labeled. Or that someone else gives you."
"You don't have to tell me twice." Simon muttered, turning green at the thought of The Rat Incident.
When they entered the party, it looked like the inside of a person on LSD. The disco lights bounced and shimmered on the walls, making everything strange and distorted. Weird techno music resonated off the walls and groups of downworlders stood around, laughing, dancing..or what passed for dancing, and drinking. Izzy went straight for the drinks table, dragging Simon behind her. Jace and Clary went of to dance, leaving Alec and Magnus by the door. "Come on Darling, let's go dance!"
He pulled on the shadowhunters hand, dragging his boyfriend onto the dance floor. Magnus wrapped his arms tightly around Alec's waist, pulling him close to him. Alec wrapped his arms around his neck and the two began swaying back and forth. Around them other people were dancing much more...provocatively. They stayed like that for a few minutes, until suddenly a crashing sound came from the other side of the room. Alec jumped away and looked over towards the sound. "Don't ever do that again!" Jace was shouting.
"Uh-uh." Magnus murmured.
Alec scrambled over a few passed out drunks and pushed his way through the crowd , trying to get to his parabatai. "Jace, Jace calm down!"
"He tried to touch Clary!"
Alec restrained Jace, and Magnus went for Clary. "Alec, we should go!" He called.
Alec nodded, by now Izzy and Simon had come over. Dragging Jace by the arm, they hurried out of the party and back into the limo. "That son of a -"
"Jace calm down!" Clary said, placing her hand on his arm.
"No I won't!"
"Jace! Clary can take care of her self." Izzy said.
Jace huffed and sat back. "Party number two!" Magnus said, after a long awkward pause.
They all gave a half hearted cheer as the limo jolted away, going towards party number 2. This place was a less vibrant from the last. The walls were all white, and the lights were only blue. "Magnus, are you sure about this?" Alec asked nervously.
"Oh honestly Alec, you need to loosen up. " He sighed. "Here drink this ." He shoved a glass of wine at Alec, who looked at it skeptically.
"This is going to get me turned into…..a….what?"
"Nothing dear. Its wine. It will make you not so uptight and nervous."
Alec sighed and took a sip. He didn't really like the taste of wine, he didn't actually like alcohol in general. Party number two wasn't all that exciting. They sat and drank, and danced some more. Izzy had a little too much to drink, and Alec got pissed at her. They left around 10pm, heading towards party number three, which just so happened to be at a fashion designer place. "Party number three!" Magnus shouted, leaping out of the car.
"Party number three!" Izzy echoed, slightly tipsy.
Alec glared at her as he followed Magnus inside. This one was similar to the first, but had more color. "Magnus? Magnus Bane?" A tall man with spiky blond hair and skin tight jeans walked over to them, holding a glass of champagne .
"Quinten?" Magnus asked, gaping.
"Its Quinn now, What are you doing here?"
"Umm...Partying?"
"Well its been...what? 100 years? 200?"
"Yes it has, you're looking well."
"You to and- well..well...well…..pray tell who is this….positively delicious little nephilim.'" Quinn's eyes suddenly spotted Alec, and his face changed so it resembled a hawk peering down at a field mouse.
Alec's eyes widened and he shifted slightly, looking uncomfortable. Magnus made a noise that sounded like a cross between a hiss and a growl. "This," he said, snaking his arm possessively around Alec's waist. "Is my boyfriend."
Quinn regarded Alec with a look of hunger. "Hmm, shame."
"Quinn!" Someone shouted from the crowd.
"Coming Grayson!" he called.
"Well, call me if you ever want someone….younger to play with. Heres my number." He said, slipping Alec a piece of paper and sauntering off.
As soon as he was gone Magnus snatched the piece of paper away from his boyfriend. "That pretentious little git. " he hissed. "Never liked him anyways."
Alec smiled as Magnus grabbed his hand, pulling him away from where the other warlock had gone. They stayed at the other end of the place until another crash came from the refreshments table. Magnus sighed. "Uh-oh, not Jace again is it?" Alec asked, trying to peer over the crowd.
"No idea, I'll go check. You stay here." Magnus walked off to go see what all the commotion was and Alec stayed back near the wall.
"Why, hello there." Alec jumped as a someone whispered in his ear.
He turned to see Quinn standing there, looking rather demonish. "Uh...hi?" Alec said, weekly.
"Did Magnus abandon you?'" He asked, licking his lips.
"Uh….no..he just went…" Alec motioned helplessly towards where Magnus was standing.
"Hmm. well….I'm sure he doesn't mind sharing." Quinn whispered provocatively, moving closer.
"Well...actually….um….actually…" Alec jumped from side to side, nervously trying to escape.
The other warlock had him pinned against the wall and was standing so close to him their noses were practically touching.
"My you are a young one." he muttered, clicking his teeth.
Alec blushed furiously, debating on whether he would get into too much trouble if he punched this guy. "Probably never even had sex yet. I can't imagine Magnus having much use for-"
Suddenly the man was knocked off Alec, and he crashed to the ground. Alec turned to see Magnus standing there, looking livid. "Leave. My. Boyfriend. ALONE!" He shouted.
Quinn leaped up, obviously he wasn't dumb enough to tangle directly with a warlock older than him. Giving a contemptuous look at the two of them, he scurried off into the crowd. "Thanks I-"
Alec was cut of as Magnus's lips captured his and the warlock shoved him against the wall. Alecs hands moved up to Magnus's hair, and the other man placed both his hands on either side of Alec's hips, pressing him into the wall more. After a minute Alec broke the kiss of, gasping, and Magnus moved to his neck. "What...What are you doing?" The shadowhunter asked.
"Marking my territory." he muttered, his tongue drawing circles on Alec's pale skin.
Alec shivered and tilted his head to the side, closing his eyes as Magnus nipped at his neck. "Oi!" Someone smacked Magnus on the head.
"Jace don't hit him!" Clary said.
"Well its not my fault. I was calling his name for about five minutes, but he was too busy ravishing my brother."
"I was not ravishing your brother. I was merely kissing him. You do know what that is right?"
Alec blushed as he straightened his shirt and rubbed the back of his neck. "It looked like you were trying to suck his blood out." Jace countered.
Magnus scoffed. "Well he is rather delicious."
Jace wrinkled his nose and was about to say something when Clary whacked his arm. "Oh honestly Jace, stop being so immature."
"Yeah Jace!" Magnus said, sticking his tongue out.
"You too" Alec chastised.
Both the boys looked sulky. "So anyways, its almost 11. We should get going to party number 4." Clary said.
"Right," Magnus nodded, regaining his composure. "Party number four!"
They gathered Simon and an extremely tipsy Izzy and made their way back to the limo. Party number four was….well….different. The entire place looked like it was literally sculpted out of ice. There was even an ice bowling alley. The music from the speakers was blaring over everybody, and Alec recognised it as an Adam Lambert song. (Magnus was obsessed with him). "Oooh! They have ice bowling here!"Izzy giggled.
"Iz, do you even know what that is?" Alec asked, catching his drunk sister as she looked about to fall over.
"Of course silly," She said, pushing him away. "Its where you go and throw bowls...on ice." She giggled again and Simon and Alec exchanged looks.
"Your sister, not mine."
"Yeah well you're the one dating her."
"Oh Izzy's right! We should go bowling!" Magnus squealed, finally spotting the bowling alley.
Alec laughed as Magnus dragged him and the others towards the alley. He had been extremely unsure and nervous at first, but now he was actually having a lot of fun. "I getta go first!" Izzy called.
"No! I do! Age before beauty!" Jace called. "Well..actually...I beat you in both categories."
"Oh Honey!" Magnus sighed, rolling his eyes. "I everybody hands down in both categories. Alec excluded."
They squabbled for a bit until they came to the conclusion that Magnus would go first, since he would probably end up hexing them all if he didn't, then Jace, then Izzy, then Alec, then Simon and Clary.
Magnus grabbed the sparkliest ball he could find and walked back over. Jace wrinkled his nose. "Eww. We are not using that ball."
"Yeah-huh goldilocks." Magnus said, sticking out his tongue again and pulling back for a bowl.
Letting the ball go, it soared down and glided smoothly over the ice, landing a strike. "Hey! You cheated!" Jace said loudly.
"No I didn't!" Magnus insisted.
"Yes you did!"
"No! You're just jealous cause you can't beat me!"
"Nu-Uh! Here, watch and learn!" Jace grabbed the ball from Magnus and began lining himself up.
The next half an hour or so progressed in a similar fashion. Jace and Magnus were tied up for first most of the time, and were getting so intense Alec, Clary and Simon had dropped out for fear of being injured. Izzy was still in, but her drunken throws were no competition for the two sober men. Alec sighed and sat down, swirling the contents of his glass lightly. After a minute or so, Clary came and sat down beside them. "Hi."
He smiled at her. "hey."
Even though Alec was no longer in love with Jace at all, things were still slightly awkward between them. She shifted beside him, swinging her feet. While she tried to think of something to say, Alec's attention switched back to Magnus, who was now in the process of going for what looked like the most intense bowl of a lifetime. He smiled.
"He really makes you happy doesn't he?" Clary said, watching Alec.
"Yeah. he does."
"Good. I'm glad."
"Glad because it means I'm not in love with Jace anymore, or because you're glad I'm happy?" Alec winced as he said it.
"Sorry, I didn't mean that to sound harsh."
Clary laughed. "Its fine, and both I guess. But mainly because you're happy."
Just then Simon walked over with Izzy in tow and cellphone out. "Hey guys, we gotta go. Its almost midnight and Maryse and Robert are wanting Iz and Jace home. I have no idea how I'm going to explain this." He said, motioning to Izzy.
Clary sighed. "Well, I'll go get Jace. Bye Alec!"
Alec waved to them as they walked off to get Jace. They left and Magnus walked over to him. "Hey there stranger, mind if I take a seat?"
Alec laughed. "Not at all. So, who won."
Magnus scoffed as he sat down. "Remind me to never play with that cheater again."
Alec rolled his eyes and kissed his boyfriends cheek. "I'm sure your much better than him."
"Ahh see. This is why I keep you around."
"I thought you kept me around because I'm 20 and have a stamina rune."
Magnus wiggled his eyebrows and leaned closer."Hmm that to, shall we test that stamina rune?" He asked, breath tickling Alec's skin.
Alec swatted him away, laughing. "Hey, We should get going to party number five. I hope they have food."
"Right!" Magnus said, standing up and pulling Alec to his feet. "Party number five!"
The limo was so much more spacious now that four people were gone, and as soon as they got in Alec curled up against Magnus, resting his head against his chest. Party number five was all the way across town, so it took them a bit to get there. "We're here darling." Magnus whispered, kissing his shadowhunters hair.
"Hmm? Okay." he untangled himself from Magnus and stepped out of the limo.
"Wait, Magnus, this is our apartment."
"Exactly." He said, with a mischievous grin.
Alec followed him confused as the warlock walked up to the door and slid the key in. Aled inhaled sharply as they stepped inside. The furniture had been moved, leaving a small silver dancefloor and a table placed near the window. The table was already set, with a single rose in a vase and food already on the plate. The lighting was dim, and music played softly in the background. All My Heart by Sleeping with Sirens, Alec recognized it. "Magnus?" Alec looked around perplexed.
"Happy birthday darling." He whispered, kissing the raven haired boy gently.
"I told you...I don't celebrate…." Alec's voice trailed off as Magnus took him by the hand and led him over to the table.
"Did you really do this all for my birthday?" He asked, blushing.
"Of course darling. Why do you think we went to so many parties."
"Well….I thought it was because I'd never been to a non shadowhunter party."
Magnus rolled his eyes. "That and you deserve more than one party for your birthday."
Alec looked down at his hands. "Its just,,...I'm not used to it all….mostly all I got for my birthday was some weapons, a card or two and people yelling happy birthday as they passed me on the stairs."
"Well...you better get used to it." Magnus said, leaning over and kissing him on the cheek.
"By the angel I love you."
