As Magnus and Alec walked into the house, they got stopped by Maryse. "Hello Magnus, are you joining us for dinner?" Maryse inquires. "If that is alright with you Mrs. Lightwood." Magnus responded. "It is perfectly ok with me, I just finished dinner, go wash up and come down." She stated. Alec and Magnus walk up the stairs and into the bathroom. "You house is very nice, and you have a great family." Magnus acknowledged. "My parents are putting on an act, usually they are fighting. Since someone is here, they feel as though they can't." Alec clarified drying his hands. "I actually miss the fighting at my house. Now it's just me and my dad." Magnus remarked. "Your mom isn't around?" Alec questioned. "She committed suicide when I was 13. It's been three almost four years without fighting. I miss it." Magnus answered. When he finished talking Alec pulled him into a hug. "I'm sorry you had to go through that." Alec states. Magnus relaxes into him and hugs him back. "It's alright." Magnus replied slowly letting go of Alec so they could go to dinner.

Once finished with dinner, Magnus and Alec walked out of the house and to Alec's car. "Your family seems really cool Alec." Magnus spoke. "Depends on the day really." Alec joked. "You are lucky to have them." Magnus stated. "Yea I guess I am." Alec smiled. They climbed into Alec's car and started to drive. "Can you put your address in the GPS please?" Alec asks. "Yea of course." Magnus responds leaning forward to put it in. The drive was filled with a comfortable silence. "Today was a lot of fun." Magnus whispers breaking the silence. "Yea it was." Alec beams. As they pull up to the apartments Magnus lives in Alec could see Magnus getting more and more embarrassed. They pull up to the walkway to Magnus's and Magnus quietly grabs his bag to get out. "Hey, don't be embarrassed." Alec commented. "It's kind of hard not to be." Magnus admitted. "I don't think any less of you just because of where you live Magnus. You don't have to be embarrassed." Alec reassured. Magnus nodded and got out of the car. He walked up to his apartment and opened the door waving goodbye to Alec.

Magnus walked into his apartment and saw his dad on the couch. "Act like the demon you are named after but can't even stay awake till your son gets home." Magnus mutters to himself. "What was that?" Asmodeus asks. "Nothing dad I was talking to myself. I'm going to bed see you in the morning." Magnus responds coldly. "Whatever don't be loud when you are changing out of your faggy clothes and makeup." Asmodeus yawned. "Whatever." Magnus whispered. Magnus looked around his room. It was small compared to Alec's but then again, the difference in their houses was huge. The paint was chipping off the walls and the window was dirty, but he was ok with it. It had always been his room, his home. He went to his dresser and got out his old school shorts and a hoodie that was actually Jem's. He got a makeup wipe and wiped off his makeup. He sat on his bed and looked over the homework he needed to do. "Fuck, I don't want to do this." Magnus groaned. He put his homework on the floor and got under his covers and fell asleep with ease for the first time in a while.

Alec walked in from driving Magnus home and immediately got called to the kitchen where his dad was. "Alec come here please. We need to talk about what happened tonight." Robert called out. Alec walked slowly to the kitchen and sat across from where his dad was standing at the counter. "You know the rules, don't you?" Robert asked. "Yes." Alec whispered. "Ok, what are they?" Robert questioned. "I have to ask for people to come over a day before hand. They also have to have a ride home because you don't like me driving at night unless it is to Clary's or Simon's." Alec responds. "Go to your room and bring me down your laptop and extra bow." Robert deadpans. "What. No. You can have my laptop, but not my bow." Alec responds getting angry. "What was that?" Robert asks looking at him. "Nothing, whatever." Alec replies and goes upstairs. He grabs his laptop and extra bow that him and Magnus had used earlier and brought them down. Izzy and Jace saw and went to his room so they could talk when he got back. "Here." Alec muttered setting down his stuff. "I have another question." Robert says. Alec looks at him for him to continue. "Is Magnus gay?" Robert inquires. Alec doesn't answer and instead goes back to his room. "Did he seriously do that because you had someone over?" Izzy asks when Alec closes the door. "Yes, he's harder on me than all of you because he wants to make an example." Alec responds. "That is so fucked up." Jace states. "Yea tell me about it." Alec chuckles. "Bedtime." They hear Maryse call from downstairs. "See you guys in the morning." Izzy says running to her room. "See you." Alec and Jace say in unison as Jace leaves. Alec gets in bed in the clothes he was already in and goes to sleep after about an hour.
