As the bell to last period rings for dismissal, Alec and Magnus walk out together. "I can't believe that even happened. How could he just fall while talking to the class?" Alec laughed out. "Right? Like how's the teacher just going to fall over." Magnus chuckled. The two of them laugh until they get to the parking lot. "Sorry if this seems a little weird, but you're really cute." Alec blurts out looking at the street. "Its not weird, you are cute too." Magnus reassures. "Magnus come on I need to show you something at my house." Will called out. Magnus looked back at him and saw Jem, Tessa, Raphael, and Caterina with him. "I have to go. I will see you tomorrow morning." Magnus said looking back at Alec. "Alright, I will see you tomorrow." Alec responded. Alec started to walk away toward his friends when he felt someone jump on his back. "Admit it, you have a crush on Magnus." Simon yelled as Alec looped his arms under Simon's thighs to keep him up. "No, I don't Si, I just think he's cute and funny. Besides, I just met him." Alec remarked. "Ok, but he's definitely your type." Clary laughed out. "I can't hear your bull shit from up here sorry." Alec chuckles letting go of Simon so he could get off. Simon put his arm around Clary's shoulders as they walked over to the rest of the group. "You ready to head home?" Jace asked the group. "Yea I think we are all good." Simon responds. Getting in Jace's car. Once everyone was in the car Alec closed his eyes and laid back. "Whatcha doin there bestie?" Clary questions. "Same thing I do every day, going back into the closet." Alec joked. Everyone in the car laughed at him and they started driving.

As Magnus walked up to his group Tessa and Cat put their arms around his. "He's cute huh?" Tessa asked knowing what Magnus's answer would be. "Oh, shush let me have him you already have 2 you need to choose from." Magnus teased. Tessa's smile dropped a bit but never fell off. Cat lightly slapped his arm. "Don't be mean. They both show good qualities in partners." Caterina pointed out. Magnus shook his arms loose and threw them up in surrender. As he passed by Will he saw him grab Tessa's hand. Tessa and Will smiled at each other before making their way to his car and getting in along with Caterina. Magnus walked over to Raphael's car and got in along with Jem. "We know you think Alec is cute by the way." Raphael commented. "Not my fault he has the black hair blue eye combo that you guys know I love." Magnus defended. Jem and Raphael laughed as they followed Will's car out of the parking lot.

Once at Will's house Will and Jem go to say hello to Will's mother and father. Knowing it will take some time Caterina starts the conversation. "Who's winning right now?" She questions. "Yea, I haven't been here, so I need the details." Magnus adds. "Let's do pro con yea?" Raphael asks. "Yes." Caterina assures. "Ok, pros of Will, he is passionate, he likes reading, we can have meaningless arguments on books, and he is very charismatic. Cons, he doesn't hang around us, he doesn't open up about things, and he can be rude." Tessa starts. "Yea those cons definitely bring it down a little bit." Magnus says. "Continue, go to Jem." Raphael stated. "Pros of Jem, he is passionate, he likes hanging out with us, he is open, and he has never once been rude to me. Cons, he isn't very talkative, it feels like a one-sided conversation sometimes, and its hard to tell if he's even interested sometimes." Tessa finishes. "I can see why you are stuck." Caterina chimed in. "That's the problem, I like them both so much, I don't want either of them hurt. I also feel like I need to choose." Tessa faltered. "You don't have to choose Tess." Raphael consoled putting a hand on her shoulder. "Thanks, Raph." She said as the other two boys walked in. "What'd we miss?" Will asks. "Nothing at all." Magnus responded.

Once they got home to the Lightwood mansion Alec raced up to his room. Izzy and Jace followed soon after with their little brother Max. "Why do you always run up here so damn fast?" Jace asked laughing quietly. "I'd rather not see mom or dad till dinner." Alec responded. "Good point." Izzy giggled sitting on Alec's bed. "Hey Max, can you go to your room please, I need to talk to Izzy and Jace about big kid stuff." Alec hinted pointing to the door. "Yea, ok, I will see you guys at dinner." Max said walking out of Alec's room. "What do you think mom would do if she found out I was gay?" Alec questioned. "I don't think mom would mind." Izzy started. "You just definitely shouldn't tell Robert." Jace finished for her. "Yea well I know not to tell him. He says to much shit about gay people for me to want to." Alec cautioned. "Whatever you choose to do we support you." Jace said and Izzy put her hand on Alec's leg. "Thanks guys. Can you leave me now please?" Alec questioned. "See you later man." Jace said as they left his room.
