….

Alec sighed as he walked the halls of their new school. They'd been in town all summer but he had avoided all the people until now. Though the one saving grace was that he already had friends here. He walked with Jace and Izzy, who were gaining looks of appreciation and envy from every person they passed. Alec just ducked his head and walked quickly, ignoring the world and wishing he was at home again. Or at least at work.

Then they turned a corner and came face to face with black haired blue eyed boy who was smirking.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the Lightwood clan."

People turned to watched ad Will Herondale, one of the most powerful people in the school, stare at the new kids. Most of them were expecting an epic showdown of fighting. They were not expecting Will to jump and smile and run at them, throwing his arms around the blond boy first.

"Jace! Bloody hell, you've grown!"

Jace smirked and hugged Will tight before the dark boy moved on Izzy.

"Dear sweet Isabelle, you get more beautiful with every passing year."

He kissed her hand and hugged her, while the onlookers stared as the biggest group of beautiful people in the school was getting bigger. Though, there was one boy who seemed out of place.

…

Magnus, Ragnor and Cat were all stood together watching the whole meeting go down. They were confused by Wills outburst and even more confused as to why he was hugging them.

Then Will smirked and turned to the last of the triad.

"If it isn't my doppelganger... Alec, get over here man!"

He pulled this Alec guy to him, hugging him tight and laughing happily.

Magnus and Ragnor shared a look before Magnus whispered.

"Ok. I get why he might want goldy and girly to join their little crew, but the other boy? Really?"

Ragnor nodded. "Fashion sense of a dumpster that one."

Magnus nodded in agreement as they walked away, heading towards Magnus' little group.

As they passed, Will gave Magnus a jaunty wink and stuck his tongue out. They had long since been in a feud for the most powerful group on campus and Will had just snagged two very attractive attributes, and whoever the other one was.

Magnus sighed and licked his lips, moving to follow Ragnor and Cat to class. Though he cast one last look back at the new kids and he swore he saw a flash of blue deeper than any ocean and more mesmerising than the swirling sky.

...

Monday turned to Tuesday and Tuesday turned to Wednesday fast. The days were rolling by, which was good, because Alec had work on Wednesdays.

As he left the school, he smiled, leaving Izzy and Jace with the rest of the group who were going to the movies or something. Though as he walked away, he felt a hand circle his arm.

"Alec? Are you ok?"

He turned to see Will looking at him with concern in his eyes. He nodded and smiled as Will released him.

"Good. I just... I know this isn't really your cup of tea but i hope you can try to get along with them. They're good people."

Alec laughed. "I know. I'm not avoiding you all, i have work in an hour. The 5 - 11 shift."

Will sighed in relief. "Oh. Ok. Cool. I thought you were hiding away."

Alec laughed and shook his head. "Nope. Not anymore."

Will nodded gratefully. "So where do you work?"

Alec licked his lips and looked down.

"I got bored over the summer so i started wandering around one night and i found this place. It was cool. It was like, i didn't have to hide who i was."

Will nodded, knowing full well what Alec was talking about, as he continued.

"I went in and i was talking to this guy who happened to be the manager and he offered me a job there when i said i didn't already have one."

Will nodded, biting his lip, thinking he knew where this was going.

Alec gulped and said the name of his work quietly.

"The Blue Light Lounge."

Will smiled and nodded. Yes, that place would be good for Alec, although...

"Alec? What do you do there? Because its an LGBT lounge. There are like..." He trailed off.

Alec laughed. "God William, no. I am not a stripper. Or a hooker. Or a dancer. I work the bar. I'm the new bartender. Totally innocent."

Will nodded on relief but then pursed his lips. "But don't the bar staff work on a rota?"

Alec nodded. "Yeah. I work Green Light Wednesdays. Blue Light Thursdays. Black Light Fridays and Red Light Saturdays."

Will bit his lip. "You work Red Light?"

Alec blushed and groaned. "At the bar. I work the bar! No kinky strange stuff ok? I'm a bartender!"

Will laughed as Alec flooded red and he winked.

"Well, have fun. And we'll see you tomorrow."

Alec smiled. "Yeah. Of course. See you, Will."

And they went their separate ways.

Though Alec was smiling a rare smile. He did love his job. Yes, The Blue Light Lounge was an LGBT club. But he could be there free of judgement.

He could make drinks and joke and smile and have fun. Not to mention that he got pretty good money as well some very generous tips. And the guy he worked his rota with, Raphael, was a good guy too.

Tonight was Green Light night. Which meant that Alec was working the bar in the restaurant.

You see, The Blue Light Lounge was split into four areas.

Green Light Lounge was the restaurant area.

Blue Light Lounge was the club dance floor bit.

Black Light Lounge was like Blue Light except it was black. It was sort of a dating in the dark type thing. You get to know people through actually talking instead of just eyeing them up.

And then there was Red Light Lounge. That was the area split into private rooms. Often used for bachelor parties. It had your strippers, hookers, BDSM stuff, the place to just hook up casually and a place where the Swingers could, well, swing. It was also known as The Play Area. And Alec only worked the bar in there. He worked the bar. He did not do the other stuff. Just to clarify.

He often got funny about that, as soon as people found out the he worked Red Light, they immediately thought he was a stripper. But no. He didn't have the confidence or drive to do that.

So anyway, he made his home, ready to get changed and go meet his regulars and some newbies in the Green Light Lounge.
