Chapter 8: Interstate Love Song
The next few weeks had been the happiest Alec has ever been. He spent every day with Magnus, laughing and finding out things about one another. He felt himself opening up to Magnus, telling him things that he hadn't ever shared before.
Alec was sitting on the floor of Magnus's apartment, playing with his cat Chairman Meow. Magnus had left the room a while ago to get something and Alec spotted a ball of white on one of Magnus's jackets. Alec heard a door close and he turned around to see Magnus dressed in a tank top and pajama shorts holding a notebook and a pencil box in his hands. Alec's eyes lingered on the curve of Magnus's thighs and Alec's cheeks grew red when Magnus raised his eyebrow. Magnus sat down crisscross on his couch and began doing something in his notebook. Alec continued to play with Chairman until he heard the doorbell ring. He and Magnus looked at each other and they both got up and ran to the door, pushing the other away. Alec answered the door, holding Magnus back with one of his legs, to reveal a very confused looking pizza delivery guy. "Alexander! I will end you if you dare give that pizza guy the money!" Alec had to laugh at this, seeing as Magnus didn't look very threatening in his hot pink shorts. Alec pulled out his wallet and payed the guy, taking the pizza box in his hands. Magnus kicked Alec lightly on his behind, sticking out his tongue and taking the pizza box from him and heading to his living room.
When Alec entered the living room Magnus was leaned against the back of his couch, looking at Alec and smiling. "Don't look at me like that! I can pay when I want to," Alec said smiling. Magnus only smiled wider and slowly walked towards Alec until he was right in front of him. Magnus reached out and grabbed Alec's hands and walked with him until Alec was pressed right against a wall. Alec's breathing sped up. Magnus leaned forward until his body was pressed against Alecs and he raised their intertwined hands above Alec's head. "I really want to kiss you right now," Magnus said, leaning his forehead against Alec's. Alec blushed and felt his face break into a goofy grin. "I-I-I reall-ly want to k-kiss you too," Alec said quietly. Magnus sucked in a breath and leaned down slowly.
The ringing of Alec's phone made Magnus jump and roll his eyes. "Go ahead and answer it, Sayang. I suppose that is the universe telling me not to kiss you yet," he said, winking. Alec answered to phone and had to clear his throat. "H-Hello?" Magnus laughed at his voice squeaking and Alec glared at him. "Hey Alec, Mom and Dad are home and are asking where you are! I'm covering for you the best I can but you really need to come home!" Izzy sounded nervous and Alec's face dropped. He said okay and hung up the phone. He told Magnus what was going on and got his stuff together. When Magnus walked Alec to the door, Alec quickly embraced Magnus into a hug before leaving.
To be honest, Alec had pretty much forgotten about his parents these last few weeks. He had been living in the moment, enjoying his time with Magnus and his siblings. Now, he was incredibly nervous to see his parents. He didn't want them to know about Magnus or his sexuality because he knew how his father would react. He didn't understand why his father was the way he was. Spending these last few weeks with Magnus made Alec realize that it wasn't okay what his father was doing to him, and he didn't deserve it. Alec was becoming more comfortable in his own skin and his confidence was a little better. He slowly began to realize that his sexuality was a part of him and it was a beautiful thing; he had nothing wrong with him. He had the ability to love another human being. In this universe, love was trivialized and put down to be something of lesser importance, but to Alec, it was the most important thing human beings were capable of.
Alec took a deep breath and opened the door to his house. He went to the kitchen to find his siblings and his parents sitting around the island. "Hey," Alec said to his parents. "Hello Alexander," his mother said to him, smiling slightly. Alec sat down and his father looked at him. "Where were you?," his father said. Alec decided to tell them the truth because Magnus was becoming a big part of Alec's life. "I was with Magnus," he said, and for once in his life, his voice didn't waver. "Who is that? You have a friend?," his mother asked, looking genuinely shocked. "Yeah, something like that," Alec said, blushing," His name is Magnus Bane and he goes to school here." His father finally spoke up. "Well, I find it hard to believe that you have a friend." Alec's mother looked astonished and her eyes darted between Alec and Robert. "How the hell could you say that? It's not like you even pay attention to any of us, so don't act like you know anything about Alec," Izzy said, getting up from the stool she was sitting with. "Isabelle, don't you dare speak to me like that," Robert said. "We will only be here for tonight, so please just try and calm down," his mother said sternly. Alec felt his face draw in a tight line. "No. I won't calm down. I'm sick of pretending that everything is okay. Izzy is right, you don't know anything about me," Alec said, getting up and leaving the kitchen. He felt tears roll down his face and he went to his bedroom and locked the trap door.
Throughout the rest of the night, there were bangs on the door but he ignored them. He wasn't going to let his father hurt him anymore. He was tired of being ashamed of who he was. He loved a man, so what? Magnus was a beautiful person and he meant so much to Alec. His eyes grew wide when he thought this. Did he really just admit that he loved Magnus?
Ahhh he loves him, what will he do now? Please review and shit!
