"How's this?" Magnus asked.

"How many outfits are you going to try on?" Alec asked looking at him. "We only have two hours until we have to go."

"I want to look nice…" Magnus answered putting his hands on his hips. "How is this one?"

Alec refrained from rolling his eyes and sat up more taking in the man's choice of attire. A pair of dark blue skinny jeans, a black long sleeve sweater that stopped mid-thigh, with a silver vest that had specks of glitters and rhinestones along the lapels. His hair was combed over to the side part of it covering his left eye, light blue lipstick, red eyeliner, and bluish gray eyeshadow.

"I like it," Alec nodded.

"Only like?"

"Magnus I swear to god if you change one more time I will drag to my parents' house naked."

Magnus huffed a bit and rolled his eyes. "Fine. I'll wear this, I don't have time to change and redo my make up anyway. Just let me take my medication and find some shoes."

"I will get the coats," Alec said standing up.

Magnus went back into the bathroom and took a pill out of the bottle and filled a glass with some water. Down the hatch, he thought taking the pill and swallowing it with water.

He grimaced and finished off the glass and went to his closet to grab a pair of shoes. He settled on his black loafers.

"Ready to go?" Alec asked holding open his coat for him.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Magnus answered pulling on his coat. "Are you sure I look okay?"

"I'm positive," Alec smiled kissing his cheek.

Magnus nodded and buttoned up his coat. Alec led him outside to a red Lexus and Magnus glanced over with a raised eyebrow.

"What? It's a forty five minute drive, and almost an hour and a half by cab," Alec shrugged unlocking the car doors and holding the door open for Magnus.

"I'm just surprise it's red," Magnus teased as he got in.

"Ha ha very funny," Alec rolled his eyes. "Watch your feet."

He shut the car door and walked around the other side and got in the driver's seat. Magnus put on his seatbelt and leaned back in his seat.

"Looks almost new," he commented as Alec pulled out of the parking spot.

"I hardly drive it," Alec said. "Never really had much of a reason to. I can just run everywhere."

"And get all hot and sweaty," Magnus purred a little as he bit his lip. "Have you ever gotten a blow job in a car?"

"I see where you're going with that and I do not want to cause an accident. Keep it in your pants just for tonight."

"I can't help it, I get horny when I'm nervous," Magnus pouted a bit.

"You're always horny," Alec pointed out.

"I am not," Magnus rolled his eyes. "Just when I'm around you…which isn't really such a bad thing."

"No, and I will gladly sleep with you all night and all day tomorrow, but until we leave my parent's house, no being all sexy."

"No being sexy? I'm not sure I can stop being sexy," Magnus chuckled.

"You have a point; guess I'll just have to practice restraint."

"Well if I can't make this car ride even more enjoyable, you mind if I turn on the radio?" He asked.

"Go ahead," Alec answered as he drove.

Magnus fiddled with the radio for a bit before settling on a classical music station and looked out the window. His fingers tapping against his knee. Alec did his best not to let his mind wander too much. The worst that could happen would be his parents not approving, and leaving his pack. But he could always start his own.

He shook his head and made the turn down the dirt road to the house. He saw Magnus massage his temples out of the corner of his eye and frowned a little.

"You alright?"

"Just a headache. I'll be fine."

"You sure?"

Magnus nodded. "How much further?"

"Not much, just ten more minutes."

Alec made another turn and pulled up to a pair of black iron gates that automatically opened as he approached.

"Nice house," Magnus complimented.

"Thanks, been here my whole life," Alec said as he parked in front of the garage. He got out and shut the door going around and opening Magnus's door for him.

"Alec!"

Both men glanced up and Alec laughed as Max ran over and practically tackled him to the ground in a full on body hug.

"Who's this?" Max looked at Magnus.

"This is Magnus. I'd like him to be my mate so I'm bringing him to meet mom and dad," he answered. "You think they'll like him?"

"He smells nice…" Max answered.

"He does doesn't he," Alec chuckled ruffling his hair. "You should go get washed up for dinner before mom catches you out here."

The younger sibling rolled his eyes and but nodded.

"He's cute," Magnus smiled.

"He's a handful," Alec said taking his hand. "Let's go meet the others."

Magnus squeezed his hand reassuringly and followed him up the house. Alec opened the door and let Magnus go in first following behind and shutting the door behind them.

3…2…1…He counted in his head.

Jace was the first one to the door. Fresh out of the shower, Alec noted. His hair was still damp and curled a bit. He was dressed in a white long sleeve shirt and black jeans and some vans.

"Evening," Jace smiled at them.

"Why are you smiling?" Alec narrowed his eyes a bit.

"Oh, no reason. No reason at all," he answered.

"Alexander," his mother smiled slightly as she walked into the front hall. "This must be Magnus."

Alec glared at Jace and opened his mouth to speak only to have Magnus cut in smoothly.

"I am, and I'm really glad we finally get to meet, Alec has told me so much about you and I just want to say you have a wonderful son," Magnus gave her a dazzling smile.

"He has very good manners," Maryse nodded looking at Alec. "And a pleasing smile…"

She looked at Magnus again before turning. "I have to finish up dinner. See if you can get your sister to come downstairs. Your father will be home soon."

"Living room is right through there, Jace will be on his best behavior while he talks to you," Alec said giving the blond a warning look.

Jace rolled his eyes and led Magnus to the living room while Alec went upstairs. He knocked on his sister's door.

"Isabelle, mom said to come downstairs, and we have company," Alec said. "I think you're going to like him."

"He's human, I won't," she replied opening the door.

"Oh but you will," Alec grinned. "He loves fashion just as much as you do. And he shops for just as long."

"No one can shop as long as me," she crossed her over her chest.

"He can," he smiled. "Come meet him. Please?"

She sighed. "Fine. I will meet this human. Just let me fix my hair."

He nodded and headed back downstairs and to the living room. Max was sitting on the couch next to Magnus bombarding him with a ton of questions as prediction, not that he seemed to mind. Alec sat down next to him and draped his arm across the back of the couch.

"Maybe take a break from the questioning, you'll wear yourself out," Alec told him.

"Can I get you anything to drink? Water? Wine? Tea?" Maryse asked walking into the living room.

"Water is fine, I'm not supposed to drink."

"Why? You an alcoholic?" Jace asked.

"No…I'm not supposed to drink with my medication," Magnus answered.

"Medication?" Maryse asked.

"I have schizophrenia…" Magnus answered. "Recently diagnosed actually…I'm not supposed to drink with the medication."

"Isn't that where you hear voices?" Jace asked.

"Among other things yes…" Magnus nodded a little.

"Isabelle, come and meet Magnus," Alec said trying to change the subject. He rubbed the back of Magnus's neck in a soothing manner.

"The mental one," she said nodding as he sat down.

"I'm going to step out for some air…" Magnus nodded more to himself as he stood up and quickly walked outside.

"Damnit, was that necessary?" Alec asked Isabelle getting up and going after Magnus.

"I can't do this," Magnus said shaking his head. "I thought I could but I can't it's just too much."

"Magnus, you can do this."

"Alec-"

"I'm right here with you and I will be right here with you alright?" He cupped his face. "Don't let what they say get to you. They're just trying to psych you out." He gave him a kiss and a smile. "Just focus on me."

"Focus on you," Magnus repeated. "…Could I have another kiss for luck?"

Alec nodded and gave him another kiss feeling Magnus relax against him. He stroked his cheek and pulled away.

"Feel better?"

"No, but I'm good at faking it."

Alec glanced over his shoulder as another car pulled up and looked back at Magnus.

"Ready to meet my dad?" he asked.

"I'm really good at faking ready," he answered.

"Alexander," Robert nodded as he got out of the car. He looked at Magnus. "Is this your guest?"

Alec nodded. "This is Magnus. He's the one I was telling you about."

"You didn't mention he was a human...I suppose we will have much to talk about at dinner then," Robert said as walked up the stairs and opened the door.


"What do you do for a living Magnus?" Maryse asked drinking some of her tea.

They group had finished dinner and was now back in the living room. Alec and Magnus sitting on one of the couches, Maryse and Robert on the one across from them, Jace and Isabelle occupying the chairs and Max upstairs in his room doing homework.

"I teach pencak silat. It's a form of Indonesian martial arts, and I work part time at a tattoo parlor," he answered drinking some of his own tea. "It's not much, but it pays the bills."

"How did the two of you meet?" Robert asked.

"He was about to get mugged and I tried to help but mistook me for one of the muggers and flipped me onto my back in two seconds flat," Alec answered.

"It's a reflex. I don't like being snuck up on from behind," Magnus added a little embarrassed.

"I assume Alec has explained to you what we are?" Robert set down his wine glass.

Magnus nodded a little nervous. "He did yes."

"And you've stayed," Robert added a bit impressed. "A year you said the two of you have been together correct?"

Alec nodded. "I told him after we had been together a few months…I trust him-"

"And you trust to easily," Maryse interrupted. "But he is the only one of your companions you've told so that says something. Your father and I are going to have to discuss this. It's getting late and you should take Magnus home."

"It was nice meeting you both," Magnus said as he and Alec stood up.


"They didn't say no flat out…that's a good sign," Alec said running his fingers through Magnus's hair.

"Jace and Isabelle don't seem to like me too much," Magnus replied sighing.

"Jace…Jace is just being plain weird…I've never seen him act that way before, and Isabelle…she'll warm up to you," Alec told him. "The important thing is that my parents are open to the idea of us being mates despite the fact that you are human."

"Will it be a big deal if I am human?" Magnus asked. "I mean, it's not like I can give you kids or anything…"

"We can adopt."

"You've got this all planned out don't you?" Magnus asked looking at him.

"I've got you and I have no intention of letting you go," Alec answered giving him a kiss.
