Surprise!

Have another story. I felt too guilty to just leave you the first few chapters of HDWEUT?

So this was actually the first Malec fic I ever wrote, but at that time I was too shy to share my stories. But alas, that ship has sailed ;)

So sit back enjoy, my darlings. I love you!

….

Alec threw the door closed behind him as he climbed the stairs, dumping his school bag on the bottom step. He dragged himself to his room, his muscles feeling like lead from his intensive training session. When he reached his room, he threw the window open wide, feeling the soft breeze in his wild black hair. He then face planted his nice soft bed and sighed deeply, the material of his duvet comforting his aching body.

He was just beginning to drift off to sleep when he heard a scream of rage and a smash of glass. His head whipped up and he saw the cause of the noise through the window. In the house next door, a blonde girl was screaming at a boy with rainbow spiked hair and kohl rimmed eyes.

Alec climbed off the bed smiling. He leant against his window, watching as Camille Belcourt went crazy for the millionth time that week. He felt so bad for his neighbour, she was a nightmare. But Magnus Bane could take it, often making sarcastic quips as she ranted. The fucking legend that he is. Alec watched as Camille shrieked and ripped one of Magnus' mesh vests. His eyes darkened as she threw it at him before storming out. A minute later, Alec saw her striding across Magnus' lawn and out of sight.

After a while, Magnus turned to his window to see Alexander Lightwood laughing at him. Magnus threw his window wide and leaned out.

"Shut up Lightwood. Just because I'm dating the devil doesn't give you the right to laugh at me." Alec leant out of window, the breeze flowing through his hair. "Sorry. She's just a bitch." Magnus gave him a reproachful look. "That's my girlfriend you're talking about."

Alec cocked an eyebrow at him as if to say 'Really?' To which Magnus narrowed his eyes. "Alec, i know you don't like her but i love her. Ok? We've been over this." Although, the love part regarding Camille was slightly off, he was in love? Yes. With Camille? Negative. He watched Alec sigh, absentmindedly folding a piece of paper into an aeroplane as he spoke. "Ok. I'm sorry. So how's life? We haven't exactly talked in a while."

Magnus smiled ruefully as he thought back to the last time they had spoken. Alec had yelled at him for getting back with Camille after she cheated on him and they had slammed their windows and drawn their blinds and not spoken for a few months.

"Yeah. I'm ok. My dad tried to get in contact but we told him to piss off. Camille's being a bit off but when isn't she? So that's about it. How are you?" Alec laughed a little and answered. "I'm ok. Training is killing me. Jace is doing it as well now. Um, Izzy still has boys dropping dead at her feet. Apart from that, all's relatively normal." Magnus raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow. "Relatively?" Alec blushed and ducked his head. "Yeah. I, um, i kind of slept with my girlfriend a few weeks ago." Magnus whooped and clapped, chanting 'Alec! Alec! Alec!' and doing a strange happy dance, shaking his hips in his tight jeans in a way that made Alecs insides writhe. Alec laughed along with him. Eventually, Magnus subsided and leant laughing against his window frame. He smiled at Alec, despite the flood of pain that lanced through him.

"Congrats my friend, how was it?" Magnus asked in a manner that showed his gay side magnificently. Alec shifted guiltily and stared at the ground. "To be honest? It was underwhelming, awkward and boring."

He cringed at his own words, knowing exactly why it was that way. Magnus watched him with sympathy. "Sorry Alec. That sucks. But you can always try again. The first time is usually awkward." Before he even realised what he was saying, Alec replied, "I bet it wouldn't be awkward with you."

Magnus froze where he stood. "What?" He said incredulously, hope filling his mind.

"Sorry. That came out wrong. I just meant, for you, it must not be awkward. You're so sure of yourself. You're confident and probably the best at everything you do. For you, everything must come easy. Unlike me, who is the complete opposite of you."

Magnus smiled sadly, wishing Alec could see himself the way Magnus saw him. He was beautiful and smart and cute and sexy and perfect. He was silver to Magnus' gold. He was the best part of Magnus. Not that he would ever know.

"I'm sorry but you're so much more than you think you are, Alec. I just wish you'd see it." Alec sighed and was about to respond when he heard Izzy yell up the stairs at him. Magnus heard too and nodded.

"I take it you must leave me now?" He asked sadly.

"Yeah. Sorry. But it was good to talk to you again Magnus." Magnus smiled.

"Yeah. It was. Listen, I'm having a party tomorrow, you should come." Alec looked surprised at the invitation.

"I'll have to check with mom first, you know what she's like. I'll let you know later." Magnus smiled at Alecs smile, it lit up his whole angelic face, his blue eyes shining bright.

"Ok. See ya Lightwood." Alec nodded, pulling away from the window.

"You too Bane."

Later that night, Alec climbed the stairs to his room in high spirits. His mother had actually said yes to the party! He ran to his room, only to find Magnus' house in darkness. He wasn't home. Alec sighed. He was tired and didn't want to wait up for Magnus, when he goes out, there's no guarantee he'll be back on the same day. Then Alec got an idea. He walked to his desk, pulling out a pad and a permanent marker. Writing the words: OK TO PARTY. SEE YOU TOMORROW :) Sticking the paper to his window, he climbed into bed and soon fell asleep.

Magnus rolled home at the respectable time of 1:15am. He waltzed into his room, getting ready for his nightly beauty regime. As he hit the light and turned to close his blinds, he saw a sheet of paper hanging in Alec's window, the black letters illuminated in the moonlight. OK TO PARTY. SEE YOU TOMORROW :)

Magnus smiled, a million scenarios involving a drunk Alec at one of Magnus' legendary parties flitted through his mind. And yes, some of those scenarios were not for the innocent but Magnus loved them the most. An hour later, make-up removed, after a particularly cold shower, he went to sleep with an unrelenting grin painted on his face.
