I had the document open in my computer for so much time...I've never had such a terrible writer's block :O
Sorry for keeping you waiting...but here's an update.
I own nothing but the plot and OCs.
"Maybe I should call Alexander." Magnus said out loud as he looked at his closet.
"Why would you do that?" Ragnor raised an eyebrow.
"Kathy may need me" Magnus explained "I don´t think it would be appropriate to go if I´ll have to leave early"
"You are not canceling this dinner, Magnus" Ragnor said seriously.
"But Kathy-" Magnus started
"Is still in the hospital" Ragnor cut him off "She had a baby yesterday. She won´t leave the hospital until tomorrow night. If she needs something, I´m sure a nurse will help her out"
"I hate this" Magnus grumbled looking at all the shirts in his closet.
"Are you nervous?" Ragnor chuckled "I can't believe this…the big Magnus Bane is nervous about something!"
"Shut up!" Magnus protested, throwing a hanger at Ragnor's direction, but he luckily dodged before it could hit him.
"Chill out man" Ragnor laughed "There's nothing to be nervous about"
"Oh yeah" Magnus scoffed "I only need to meet Alec's parents and act as I'm the perfect choice for their son…"
"You are perfect for their son" Ragnor pointed out "And they'll realise that as well"
"I don't know" Magnus mumbled "maybe it is too soon….maybe I should call Alexander…."
"Magnus Bane" Ragnor said sternly "You will not cancel this…you've got this, there's nothing to fret about"
"You're right" Magnus nodded "I'll get wrinkles with all this worry….and my flawless skin can't get that"
"Of course" Ragnor rolled his eyes "Now hurry up getting ready. Your date will be here soon"
"Maybe if you got out of my room for once I would be able to get ready" Magnus scowled
"Fine…see ya later princess" Ragnor said as he walked out of the room.
Magnus moved back to his wardrobe and decided what outfit he was going to wear. This dinner was important. He was meeting his soulmate's family. And while Magnus already knew and got along with Alec's sister and brother, he still needed to meet his parents and little brother. From what he had heard Alec talk, family was very important to him. He loved his little brother to pieces, and he held both of his parents in such a high position. Alec admired them and wanted to make them proud. Magnus knew Alec feared they would not approve of Magnus. Even though Alec had never said it aloud, Magnus just knew the worry was there. Of course, it was silly to think about. They were soulmates, that had to count for something. But Magnus also knew he was not the image of the person every parent wanted their son to be with. He was flamboyant, he wore so different colors together, they would usually hurt anyone's eyes. He liked wearing his hair in spikes and applying glitter in everything. His wardrobe screamed gay on top of it's lungs. And if they did not approve…well that was going to be a problem.
Of course, Magnus was not going to pretend he was something he was not. As much as he wanted Alec's parents to approve of him, he would not hide who he was. It had taken him too long to reach the level of confidence he had now, he would not go back to being scared of showing who he really was. And if Alec's parents did not approve…well, they would cross that bridge when they got there.
"Okay" Magnus called from the front door "I'm leaving now"
"Be safe" Ragnor called from the living room.
"Have fun" Catarina smiled at him, as she walked out of the kitchen "It's going to be fine"
"Thanks" Magnus smiled at her.
"Don't come back too late" Ragnor said from the doorway of the living room "And call us when you get there. Or a text. Don't forget to let us know when you are on your way back so we know when to expect you"
"I will mom" Magnus rolled his eyes at Ragnor, but his best friend just smirked.
"You are not allowed to stay over" Ragnor said trying to fake being stern. "We want you here before curfew"
"Screw you, Ragnor" Magnus snapped.
"Only in your dreams, darling" Ragnor winked and then burst out laughing.
"Okay, that is enough both of you" Catarina said glaring at the two of them "Magnus, go. Alec will be expecting you"
"Okay….see you guys" Magnus nodded and walked off the house.
"Alexander" Maryse sighed as she watched her son pace around the kitchen "Take a seat or do something useful. You know how I hate it when you pace around"
"Sorry mother" Alec apologised, stopping where he was "I'm just anxious"
"He'll be here soon" Maryse tried to reassure her son.
"Yeah…I'm just nervous, that's all" Alec shrugged.
"No need to worry bro" Izzy grinned as she walked past him "We'll be in our best behaviour"
"Now I'm scared" Alec said with wide eyes.
Suddenly the door bell rang. Alec looked towards the entrance of their house, and then he heard his little brother, Max, call out he would open the door. Before Alec could move to open the door first, Max was already at the entrance greeting their guest.
"Hello" Max said
"Hello there!" Magnus smiled down at Max.
"Are you Magnus?" Max asked, frowning slightly. His eyes moved around Magnus's outfit, surprised at all the glitter he was wearing.
"Yes!" Magnus grinned "And you must be Max?"
"Yes" Max nodded and then crossed his arms "You look like an anime character"
"Okay, that is enough Max" Alec called stepping in front of his brother and pushing him away from the door "Go help mother"
"whatever" Max replied walking off.
Magnus chuckled and then smiled at his boyfriend. Alec was blushing slightly as he looked at Magnus. Letting him walk inside the house, Alec closed the door behind him. Magnus looked around, making sure no one was around before leaning down to kiss Alec sweetly on the lips.
"Hello sweet pea" Magnus whispered.
"Hey" Alec smiled at him, blushing again. "You….you look….great?"
"Is that a question?" Magnus raised an eyebrow, but he was smirking. "I'll take that as a compliment"
"It was" Alec said quickly.
"Well then, thank you" Magnus grinned "You don't look so bad yourself"
"Shall we go?" Alec asked, nodding towards the hallway that lead to the other rooms in the house.
"After you" Magnus smiled at him.
Alec smiled shyly and lead Magnus to the kitchen, where he knew his mother was just finishing with dinner. He didn't know where Isabelle or Jace were, but he knew they would appear soon. Probably followed by Clary and Simon.
"Mother" Alec called as they reached the kitchen.
Maryse had her back towards them, focusing on something she had at the stove. When she heard her son's voice, she turned around and smiled brightly. Her eyes flickered quickly over Magnus's, and then she moved forward to shake his hand.
"Hello, you must be Magnus" Maryse said
"Yes ma'am" Magnus nodded, shaking her hand "It is a pleasure to meet you"
"I'm glad you accepted our invitation for dinner" Maryse said turning back towards the stove "You must understand, Alec has been quiet tight lipped about you….we wanted to meet our son's soulmate"
"Oh it was no trouble at all" Magnus nodded.
"Is everyone here yet?" Alec asked.
"Isabelle and Simon are in the studio" Maryse explained "Clary and Jace should join us in a moment"
"And father?" Alec asked a bit hesitant.
"He'll join us for dinner" Maryse assured her son, but did not comment further.
Magnus offered to help Maryse with dinner, however she refused his help. Instead, Magnus and Alec moved towards the living room to watch some TV while dinner was prepared. Of course, they just put the TV as background noise. The two of them sat together just talking. Magnus told Alec about how Kathy was doing, even if Alec had seen her the day before.
"Rose is so beautiful" Magnus sighed
"That baby is going to be so spoiled" Alec chuckled "Having you all as their family"
"Of course she'll be spoiled" Magnus scoffed "I'll get my niece all she could ever want!"
Suddenly the front door opened, cutting their conversation short. A few moments later, Robert Lightwood appeared on the doorway of the living room.
"Alexander" Robert greeted his son.
"Father" Alec stood up, Magnus following close behind. "I would like you to meet Magnus"
"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Lightwood" Magnus said, extending his hand to shake Robert's hand.
"Pleasure" Robert said, not bothering to take Magnus's hand. "Maryse informed me dinner is ready"
"We'll be there in a moment" Alec said.
Robert nodded once and walked off towards the staircase. Magnus let out a deep breath and Alec turned to look at him with apologetic eyes. Magnus shook his head, smiling softly at his boyfriend, before kissing him softly on the cheek.
"Shall we go to dinner, then?" Magnus asked.
"Yeah…let's go" Alec took Magnus's hand and together they made their way towards the dinning room.
I'm not really happy with how this turned out :P But I really had no idea what to do with it haha!
Hopefully I'll have new ideas for the next chapter!
