"Alright, everyone knows the routine!" Magnus called as he and everyone in his staff rushed to the backstage of the runway. "First hair, then make-up, and then clothes! NOW GO!"

Every model rushed towards where they were supposed to be. The magazine's stylists were working with four girls at a time. Some were getting their hair curled, some had it braided, some had to get it straight. And when those four girls were done, they moved towards make-up and other four girls came to get their hair done. It was a clean process, a perfect cycle that should get them all ready before they were to start on the fashion show.

"Has anyone seen Alec?" Magnus asked, but got no answer as everyone was too busy getting their work done.

The designer sighed and started looking around the room. Models were getting ready for the runway, while stylists and part of the staff team from the magazine were walking from one place to the other. No matter how much they tried to keep the whole process organized, it always became a mess of nerves. Magnus himself was feeling nervous. This was the first fashion-show in a long time. He wanted it to go perfectly. He always had his doubts. Like when he first started working as a designer. He was afraid no one would like his work. And when he started the magazine, he was afraid it would be a complete failure. And now, those fears were coming back. They were always there, and the only one who could reassure him wasn't there.

"Isabelle!" Magnus called as he saw her walking towards the make-up area.

"What's up Magnus?" Izzy asked, sitting down and the stylists soon started working on her face.

"Have you seen your brother?" Magnus asked "I've been looking for him, but he's nowhere in sight!"

"I haven't seen him" Izzy answered "He's probably out there, getting some photos done"

"He should be here!" Magnus cried

"Magnus, relax!" Izzy said "He'll come soon enough, right now you should be worrying about your show"

"Oh God…what if it's all a failure?" Magnus whispered looking around with wide-eyes "I can't do this"

He walked away leaving a very concerned Isabelle behind. Magnus had been able to replace Camille with another model, and as he walked around he could see the new girl and many others getting ready and putting on the clothes he had created. And even though everyone keep telling him the designs were amazing, he couldn't believe it.

Magnus was the kind of guy who always walked with his head held high and strutting with a strong pace. He radiated confidence where-ever he went, and anyone who saw him could tell he was a proud person…but that was a mask. Of course, he was proud of who he had become and he was not ashamed of showing the world who he truly was. The way he dressed and wore glitter was enough proof of that, but that didn't mean he didn't have insecurity. He just never showed them, because ever since he was a kid he had been taught that showing your insecurities meant you were weak, and if you were weak then you would never reach anything in life. So he always wore a bright smile on his face. He teased, he flirted, and he joked around to make people believe he was that strong and confident person everyone saw. He never showed any fear, or sadness, or hurt, because those were signals of weakness, and he couldn't afford being weak.

The fact that he didn't show them didn't mean he didn't feel them, though. And right now everything came crashing down towards him as it always did when something good was about to happen to him.

"Magnus!" Alec snapped his fingers in front of his boyfriend's face making the designer jump and look around in panic "Hey, relax…It's just me"

"Alec…" Magnus breathed out as he saw him as was able to calm down

"What's wrong?" Alec frowned "You were staring into space when I found you, and you look as if you've seen a ghost…is everything alright?"

"I'm fine" Magnus composed himself and smiled towards his boyfriend. But Alec frowned even more, noticing Magnus was hiding something

"Liar" Alec said crossing his arms against his chest "Tell me what's bothering you"

"It's nothing, really" Magnus sighed "It's just nerves…"

"Nerves? You're nervous?" Alec asked incredulously "THE Magnus Bane is nervous for a fashion show? That's unheard of!"

Magnus frowned, crossing his arms just like Alec had done and then turned to look away. This is why he never showed anyone what he truly felt. More often than not, they made fun of him because of it.

"You're serious" Alec said dropping his arms to his sides.

His eyes softened at the sight of Magnus. He never meant to make it feel as if he was making fun of the designer, that wasn't his intention – far from it actually. He just didn't believe Magnus could ever be nervous about anything, let alone a fashion show. Magnus was that kind of person who made you believe there wasn't anything to be afraid of…but somehow, Alec could see that indeed Magnus was nervous, and not just that, he was afraid that something would go wrong with this fashion show. Just like Alec feared people won't like his photos, Magnus feared people won't like his clothes.

"Come here" Alec said softly, opening his arms wide as an invitation for Magnus.

The designer eyed Alec from the corner of his eyes. He dropped his arms to his side, but kept his eyes narrowed, not moving from where he was standing.

Alec sighed and stepped closer to his boyfriend. He wrapped his strong arms around the designer and brought him closer to his chest. Magnus tensed for a moment, but then he relaxed and leaned against Alec. He bent down slightly and buried his face in the crook of Alec's neck.

"There's no need to be nervous" Alec whispered, hugging him a bit more tightly "Your designs are brilliant…Even I – who knows nothing about fashion – can see that"

"You're my boyfriend…you're supposed to say that" Magnus mumbled against Alec's skin.

"Even before we were dating I thought your clothes were more than amazing" Alec answered.

"You really think so?" Magnus asked after a moment, a bit fearful

"I don't think so. I know so" Alec said with confidence "You'll impress everyone out there with your outstanding designs…they all will want to buy them"

"What if something goes wrong?" Magnus asked "What if the whole fashion show gets ruined?"

"Nothing will happen" Alec assured him "Every model will walk down the runway perfectly, just as practiced, and everyone will love your designs, and you'll charm everyone in the public like you always do. Because you're Magnus Bane, and if there's something you're good at is being magnificent"

"Mmm…I truly am magnificent, aren't I?" Magnus smirked against Alec.

He then leaned back, just enough to be able to face Alec who smiled softly at him. Magnus returned the smile, this time a true smile, and then leaned down to peck the photographer's lips. Just when he drew back, he was pushed back into the kiss by Alec who depended the kiss slightly. Magnus moaned against Alec's lips, and then he licked the photographer's bottom lip. Alec opened his mouth willingly and their tongues collided together in a sweet and tender kiss.

Alec leaned back then, giving Magnus one last peck before unwrapping his arms from the designer.

"I love you" Alec whispered looking adoringly into Magnus's emerald-green eyes.

"I love you too" Magnus smiled brightly.

They both went back to work then. Magnus giving instructions and forming the models as they were finishing getting ready. The fashion show would begin in a couple of minutes and he needed to check everything was perfect.

Alec took some photos of the models getting ready and then moved out to take his seat by the sides of the runway. There was one chair that said his name, and right next to him there was a seat for Clary and Simon. Both were already sitting on their own places, and Alec noticed that the whole place had been filled with people. Alec took his seat next to Clary and nodded towards them both in greeting. Simon nodded back and Clary said a small 'hello' before they all turned towards the runway where the show was getting started. Jace, unfortunately, had to leave earlier that day to Madrid, where he would start shooting a new movie, so he wasn't able to come to the fashion show.

A woman with a beautiful red dress walked out of the backstage and towards the runway. She stood in front of the stage and welcomed everyone. She thanked everyone who assisted and collaborated with the work of the fashion show, and then she introduced the designers that would be showing their work that day.

"And with no further delay" the woman spoke into the microphone "I would like you to welcome our first designer of the evening…Magnus Bane!"

The whole place exploded with applauses as the woman walked out and Magnus made his entrance into the stage. He strutted with a confident smile on his face and he waved at a few people on the crowd. Any sign of being nervous was gone and now the strong and confident Magnus was showing.

"Thank you all for coming tonight!" Magnus spoke into the microphone when everyone had settled down a bit "This collection is called 'Black and Blue' which is my favorite color combinationand was inspired in a very special person I met a few months back" Magnus then turned to look at Alec, giving him a wink and a small smirk "This is for you Alexander. ENJOY!"

And then he walked off the stage, leaving Alec blushing crimson red. A few photographers turned to snap pictures of him but then focused back on the runway as the music started and models started to walk down the runway.

Design after design was being modeled with perfection. The crowd was being awed by the beautiful colors and designs of the clothes. Alec smiled proudly as Isabelle walked down the runway looking straight to the front, wearing serious eyes and the ghost of a smile in her face. People were incredibly amazed by the dress she was wearing and Alec could hear some really good comments towards it.

After all the models had walked out, they started to walk out in a straight line, one after the other, showing all the designs in the last cat walk. This time, however, Isabelle was the last one to walk out and she had her arm linked with Magnus's. Magnus was beaming proudly as everyone in the crowd clapped and cheered at his collection.

Alec felt his smile grew even bigger as Magnus walked past him and dedicated him a brilliant smile. Magnus's eyes were shining with glee as he saw all the positive reactions the crowd gave towards his collection. All his fears were chased away and left nothing but amazement and happiness behind. Alec couldn't be more proud of him.

After Magnus's show was over, the woman with the red dress walked back into the stage and started introducing another designer and his collection.

Alec rose from his seat and rushed towards the back of the stage, where he knew Magnus would be. Clary and Simon followed him, but he paid them no mind. Neither did he noticed any of the models as he rushed towards Magnus and captured him in a bone-crashing hug.

"That was amazing!" Alec exclaimed as Magnus laughed and hugged him back. "See? I told you everything would go alright!"

"It went just fine, didn't it?" Magnus said with a bright smile "Did you see their reactions?!"

"Everyone loved it!" Alec beamed back at Magnus "I'm so proud of you"

And they sealed the great success with a kiss.
