Sorry it took me so long to update! D: But I have good news! I am officially done with my first year of college *happy dance* and that means I will have more time to write! (I hope haha!)
So thanks for reading my story and for giving me your feedback :) I hope you like this story as well.
I own nothing but the plot and the OCs.
Alec's mind drifted to what had happened over the past few weeks. He had been pleasantly surprised when he received the first text, asking to know who he was. Alec had been cautious at first, not trusting whoever was texting him. But then the name...Magnus Bane. It just clicked something on him. The way it sounded when he said it out loud, when he mouthed it quietly in his room at night, just thinking about it...It made his heart race and something inside of his ache. It was fondness, it was something else, something he could not explain. He wondered if he was the one. If this Magnus Bane was the one. Alec rubbed the two letters tattooed on his wrist, MB, and it made Alec wonder if they belonged to Magnus Bane.
After weeks of texting each other and just getting to know one another, Alec sometimes wondered if Magnus's wrist read AL. They had never asked about soulmates, he didn't even know if Magnus was dating someone. He didn't know if Magnus was even gay! What if he wasn't? What if he had the initials of some pretty girl tattooed on his wrist?
"Alec?" Catarina asked snapping her fingers in front of his face. Alec jumped back, startled at the sudden movement of Cat's fingers. He turned her eyes towards her, his blue eyes finally focusing on something.
"What?" Alec asked confused.
"Are you alright?" Catarina grinned, trying not to laugh. "I thought I lost you for a moment back there"
"Yeah...just thinking" Alec shook his head, trying to clear his mind.
"About that guy you've been texting?" Catarina smirked.
"W-What are you talking about?!" Alec asked, blushing furiously.
"Oh come on. You really think I haven't noticed?" Catarina chuckled, shaking her head. "Please, you've been clinging to that phone for weeks now! Who are you texting?"
"It's just someone I know" Alec shrugged.
"What's his name?" Catarina asked.
"How do you know he's a guy?" Alec frowned "It could be a girl for all you know"
"Alec, no offense, but you're as straight as a circle" Catarina rolled her eyes. "There is no way you would be swooning over a text message if you were talking to a girl"
"I don't swoon" Alec looked away, trying to hide his blush.
"You totally do" Catarina laughed. "Come on...you can tell me"
"I...I don't actually know him" Alec started "It's a long story, I helped a friend of his and he texted me to thank me. and we've been talking since then"
"What's his name?" Catarina asked, frowning. At the back of her mind she thought that it was too much of a coincidence that Alec's story clicked with the one Magnus had told him.
"His name is Magnus" Alec finally said, almost breathless.
Catarina's mind started to spin. It could not be. How had she not noticed?! Magnus had been crushing over the guy on his phone and she knew it was someone called Alexander. When she had seen her friend at school texting someone and swooning over every text message, she found it weird, but she never thought it could be the same situation.
Catarina started to grin when everything started to click into place. She already knew her two friends could be soulmates, she just needed to get them together. But apparently, she didn't need to do any of that. They had found each other by themselves and now they just needed to meet in person and they would know.
"What are you grinning about?" Alec frowned.
"Oh I just realized something" Catarina grinned further.
Suddenly the bell rang, indicating the end of their lunch break. Alec packed the food he had not finished and stood up, making sure none of the kids ran to their class. they said goodbye to each other and moved towards their own class or office. Catarina was grinning from ear to ear, her mind spinning with ideas of how to get them together. She needed to reunite her two friends, and it had to be perfect.
"Magnus?" Kathy called from the front desk.
"Yeah?" Magnus asked, walking out of the staff room.
"Your 1:30 is here" Kathy said.
Magnus turned towards the small waiting area and saw two women there. One was Isabelle, the client Magnus had worked before. Her jet black hair was styled in a perfect bun on top of her head. She was wearing a black top with a beautiful yellow skirt that reached her mid thigh. She had black stilettos, making her look even taller than what she already was. The woman next to her was dressed completely different than Isabelle. Her hair was fairy red and it fell on messy curls over her shoulders. She was wearing a pair of jeans with a few tears here and there and they had some stains of paint. She was wearing a green blouse and black converse.
"Hello ladies" Magnus grinned at them. "Ms. Fray?"
"That's me!" The red head smiled shyly "Hello"
"Hello" Magnus smiled "I'm Magnus Bane, your stylist for today. If you could follow me?"
Magnus guided her towards his station, indicating her to take a seat and adjusted the height of it so she was sitting at a comfortable distance. Isabelle had followed them and was standing next to Magnus, grinning at her friend through the mirror.
"So I take it you are the bride-to-be?" Magnus asked, his hands moving through Clary's hair to get rid of any knots she may have.
"Yes" Clary grinned "We're getting married next month"
"Well, Miss soon-to-be-Lightwood" Magnus grinned
"You can call me Clary" the red-haired smiled.
"So Clary!" Magnus clapped his hands "I take it you are here to see what you would like for your wedding day, correct?"
"Yeah, Isabelle mentioned we could consult with you about the hair...I'm still not sure what I'll be wearing" Clary said nervously.
"You don't have the wedding dress yet?!" Magnus exclaimed.
"We have the options" Isabelle spoke "But we're still deciding"
"Alright...I guess we can make a style that goes with all the options" Magnus said "Are you going to use a vail?"
"I was thinking of a small tiara and the vail on the back" Clary explained.
"Alright...so would you like to have the hair up or would you rather keep it down?" Magnus asked, picturing what he could do with the different styles.
"My brother likes when her hair is down" Isabelle explained. "I tried to style her hair a couple of times and he would always let her hair fall...it's sickening sweet, actually"
Clary was blushing while Isabelle talked but she had a fond smile on her face. Magnus grinned and started to think of what he could do with the red-haired woman. He had a few ideas on mind, so he would show them and let them choose.
"Well, if he likes your hair loose, let's give him that" Magnus smiled "How about I do a braid on front, just where the tiara will be and curl your hair on the back. It should fall over your shoulders and give space to the vail"
"Can we see how it would look?" Clary asked shyly.
"Of course!" Magnus grinned and started working.
Magnus started doing Clary's hair while the three of them chatted. Isabelle kept throwing random things about the wedding preparations, talking about how everything was going and what they had left to do. There were very few things to get at this point, but Isabelle explained in detail everything, asking Magnus for his opinion. Afterwards, they started talking about themselves and people they knew. Isabelle chatted away about her boyfriend, who had not asked her to marry her yet.
"I mean, I know he will" Isabelle was explaining "I'm just hoping he'll do it soon"
"Simon will ask when the right time comes" Clary said "I mean, you still have a long road ahead of you. No need to rush it"
"I just want to organize my own wedding" Isabelle sighed happily "I love organizing weddings!"
"What about you Magnus?" Clary asked her stylist. "Are you married?"
"Gods no" Magnus shook his head "Not yet"
"What about your soulmate?" Izzy asked "Have you found him yet"
"I don't think so, no" Magnus shook his head "It is too early to talk, really. I'm surrounded by soulmates in love being all sweet together, I'm not sure I could manage to have my own right now"
"Oh really?" Izzy raised an eyebrow "I bet you're just waiting for him to show up and you'll be head over heels"
"Time can only tell" Magnus shrugged, but smiled fondly.
