So sorry I kept you waiting :P I was going to post this chapter earlier, but my account was blocked :P One of my fanfictions ('Can't let you go') was deleted because I "copied some content" - Which I didn't...I was incredibly pissed...but oh well :P There's nothing I could do.
Again, sorry for not posting this earlier :(
Thank you all for your lovely reviews! Can't believe this story has reached the 85 reviews :O You guys are awesome! :D
I own nothing!
A week had gone by since the photo shoot at Alec's parent's house. It seemed much longer ago, but it had just been a week. To Alec it had been one of the best weeks of his life. Many things had changed during that week. Alec and Magnus had spent the night after the photo shoot together at Alec's flat. Nothing had happened….nothing drastic, anyways. They had shared their first kiss at Alec's sofa in the living room and it had been the most amazing kiss for both of them. After that had come a second one…and a third one after that one. They were incredibly happy being there, holding each other close, and sharing small but meaningful kisses. They had fallen asleep in the sofa soon afterwards, embracing each other.
It was a good memory. One that made Alec smile and blush every time he thought about it. Things had changed between him and Magnus, of course. They were now seeing each other, but Alec was too afraid to tell the world about his relationship…or rather that he was gay. Just his siblings knew, but to everyone else it was a mystery. Magnus didn't mind. He rather enjoyed having Alec all to himself, meeting him secretly at his apartment, or going out for coffee to discuss "business", stealing small kissed in the office…It all was fun and just added to the excitement of being in a relationship with Alexander Lightwood.
Alec was now on one of the many rooms where photo shoots took place in the Prestigious Magazine building. He was getting ready for a photo shoot that was taking place in half an hour. This photo shoot however was a big deal. These photos were for the promo of the upcoming movie "Day Four" in which Alec's brother – Jace Lightwood (whose artist name was Jace Wayland)– was staring. The photos were going online on the magazine's website and it was going to be the first sneak-peak to the movie before the theatrical trailer came out the next month. To say Alec was excited was something…he hadn't had time to talk to his brother since they had lunch together a few weeks back. Alec was excited to see Jace. Jace wasn't only his brother, he was his best friend. Alec liked working with Jace. Just after Alec had left his parent's house and started taking photos, the three Lightwood kids would spend hours just taking random photos. Alec would always be taking the pictures while Jace and Izzy posed, having fun. Most of those photos had made it to the wall in Alec's studio. He never published any of those photos, though. One of the reasons was because they were really special for Alec and he didn't feel like sharing those memories to the world, and the second reason was because he couldn't post any photo of Jace in the internet without the permission of Jace's management.
"They should arrive in 20 minutes" A voice said from the door. Alec looked up to see Magnus standing there, the door closed behind him. "That gives us around 15 minutes just for ourselves"
"The scene is not ready yet" Alec said turning back towards the lights of the place "Plus, there are people in the building"
"People who don't mind whatever we're doing here" Magnus said with a sigh "Come on Alec…just a little kiss?"
"Do you even have to ask?" Alec said a small smirk forming on his face.
Magnus grinned reaching his boyfriend and kissing him firmly on the lips. Alec responded immediately, returning the pressure against Magnus's lips. It was a small gesture, but it was special for both of them and they cherished it with all their hearts.
"I made you something!" Magnus said breaking away from Alec
"Made me something?" Alec asked raising an eyebrow "Please tell me you didn't design a shirt with glitter"
"Of course not" Magnus said rolling his eyes "I designed you a scarf"
Magnus then took out a blue scarf. It was a dark cerulean color that matched Alec's eyes. It had no glitter – to Alec's surprise – but it still contained too much color than what Alec usually wore.
"So what do you think?" Magnus asked with a huge smile
"It is….blue" Alec said looking at it carefully
"No love" Magnus said with a sigh "It is cerulean"
"Same thing" Alec said gaining a roll from Magnus's eyes "Anyways, did you really make it for me?"
"Of course!" Magnus exclaimed "Come on, let me see you with it"
Magnus took the scarf and wrapped it around Alec's neck. Magnus smiled down at his boyfriend as he looked at the scarf with furrowed eyebrows. Alec looked up at Magnus and gave him a nervous smile. It contrasted perfectly with Alec's eyes making them look even brighter than they were.
"Perfect" Magnus smirked pecking Alec on the lips.
"You really think so?" Alec asked "I don't think this is my color…"
"You're kidding, right?" Magnus asked "It matches your eyes! It is obviously your color"
Alec blushed but kissed Magnus all the same. Magnus smiled, kissing him back. They both drew apart as they heard voices coming from outside. Alec moved towards his camera, as far from Magnus as he could, so when the people walked inside no one would know what had been happening seconds ago.
The door flew open and inside walked many people. There were 3 teenagers that were the main characters of the movie. Among them was Jace. There also came a group for make-up and clothing, as well as the actors' management.
"Welcome to the Prestigious Studies!" Magnus greeted them all with a wide smile "It is a pleasure to have you all here"
"The pleasure is ours" A short girl with brown curls said "I'm Emily Bower and this are my colleagues Jace Wayland and Roland Weeks"
"Nice to meet you" Magnus said "I'm Magnus Bane, owner of the Prestigious Magazine and this is Alec Lightwood, our photographer"
"'Sup Brother" Jace said with a smirk
"Hello Jace" Alec said rolling his eyes "And hello Emily and Roland, it is nice to meet you"
"It is true then" Roland said nodding towards Alec "You are this jerk's brother"
"Oi!" Jace exclaimed "I'm not a jerk…I'm awesome"
"Unfortunately" Alec said with a grin.
"How could you live with him?" Emily asked "We barely fit here with his big head…"
"Oh believe me, it was hard" Alec said with a chuckle
"You guys hurt me" Jace said with a pout "Can we get this over with?"
"Awn poor little Jacey" Roland mocked him
"Shut up!" Jace exclaimed "Remember I kick your ass in this movie!"
Roland was about to respond him when a man from their management team interrupted them. They were called for make-up and clothing so they could start the shoot as soon as possible.
"By the way" Emily said smiling at Alec "Nice scarf"
"T-Thanks" Alec said with a small blush.
Magnus grinned, hearing the compliment. He caught Alec's eyes and winked at him, making the black-haired boy blush even harder.
Alec looked away from Magnus and got his camera ready for the shoot. Roland was the first person who was ready and Alec started making his work taking his individual photos. Roland entered completely into "character-mode" and the photos came out perfectly. Roland's character was the "brains" of the trio. He was the smart guy who came with the strategies, but he was also a great fighter. After Roland was done Alec started to photograph Emily. Her character was the soft-sweet girl who looked innocent, but she was a badass at fighting. Emily showed both sides of her character in the photos and they were over pretty quickly.
"Now Alec, I want you to capture my awesomeness" Jace said smirking towards his brother, making silly poses trying to "show" his muscles.
"Stop acting like an idiot then" Alec shot back "What's your character supposed to be, anyways?"
"I'm the badass tough soldier" Jace said with a grin "I'm also the hottest"
"Show me that then" Alec said "This is for the posters of the movie…show me your character"
"There's nothing to show…I am the character" Jace said
"Tell me a word to describe yourself" Alec asked taking the camera close to his face, ready to take a picture.
"I'm awesome" Jace said with a confident smirk. Alec took a photo.
"I saw Clary and Simon yesterday" Alec said "They were having coffee together"
"What?!" Jace asked "What's that idiot doing with her?"
"They're friends" Alec shrugged
"That doesn't make him less of an idiot" Jace frowned. Alec took another photo, capturing perfectly the rage in Jace's face.
Alec took another couple of photos, capturing different reactions that described Jace's character perfectly. After that they moved to the group photos and they were over real quick.
"That was fantastic" The man from management exclaimed
"I agree" Magnus said nodding "Alexander is great with a camera"
"When should we have the pictures?" The man asked Magnus
"By the end of the week" Magnus answered "We still have to edit them…you can see them then and after that we'll publish it"
"Perfect" the man nodded "Thank you for your services"
"Thank you for choosing us" Magnus smiled.
On the other said of the room Alec was putting his camera away as Jace approached him a confident smirk on his face.
"Great shoot brother" Jace said
"Thanks" Alec said
"I've wanted to ask you…what's up with the scarf?" Jace asked "That's more color than I've ever seen you wear in your whole life"
"It was a gift" Alec shrugged "Magnus made it"
"Of course" Jace smirked "Anyways…Clary made me ask you, we're going tonight to one of Simon's gigs in a café a few blocks down…I'm only going because of Clary, and Izzy will be there…why don't you join us? Have some family time! And you can bring Magnus as well"
"Why would I bring Magnus?" Alec asked frowning
"Dude, I know about you two" Jace rolled his eyes "You shouldn't trust Izzy with your secrets…they never last"
"A-And you're ok with it?" Alec asked with wide eyes, his face going pale
"I thought we've gone through this" Jace rolled his eyes "I don't mind….so what do you say? Are you up for tonight?"
"I have to ask Magnus first" Alec mumbled looking down once again "But I think we will"
"Good! See you later bro"
