Malec High School AU

VIII

As Alec, Izzy, and Jace drive up to the school they see Simon and Clary waiting by Jace's usual spot. Jace parks the car, and they all get out. "How was hanging with Magnus last night?" Simon asks Alec. "It was really fun. I taught him archery." Alec smiles. "That's so cool Alec." Clary states. Alec nods and they walk toward the front of the school. As usual they wait for their group. They look around and see Jem, Will, Tessa, Cat, Raphael, and Magnus walk up. Will leaned down and acted as though he was tying his shoe so he could fall behind. They all met up in the middle and Simon got behind Alec. As Simon's hands raised to get ready to push Alec, Will got up and ran over to Magnus and they pushed simultaneously. Alec and Magnus's bodies smacked into each other. Not how they were expecting but it worked. As their bodies fell to the floor, Magnus landed on top of Alec. Their lips didn't touch when they fell, but they laid there and stared at each other before Alec leaned in and kissed Magnus. Magnus kissed back and then pulled away a few moments later. They looked at each other longer before getting off the floor. Alec gets red and like usual when he gets embarrassed ran away from the issue. He left and went to class leaving Magnus in confusion. "Why'd he run off?" Magnus questioned. "He gets embarrassed easy. Plus, he's probably scared about our mom finding out which we didn't really think of." Jace replies. Will roles his eyes. "What?" Simon asks. "Didn't I say we shouldn't do it? You should have thought everything out, but you didn't. Now Alec could quiet possibly be in trouble with your mom." Will states walking inside leaving the rest of them there.

"You did know that this wouldn't be the best didn't you." Jem said to Will as them and Tessa walked to their first period classes in the same hall. "Yes, I did. I thought it was going to be something different though." Will replies. "At least you knew though, we should have listened. You are right most of the time." Tessa confirmed. "Do my ears deceive me or did Tessa Gray just say I'm right." Will joked. "That was probably a one-time thing." Jem laughed. "Both of you shut up." Tessa blushed and laughed with them. They get to the hall for their classes and Jem walks into his class first leaving Will and Tessa to walk alone together to Tessa's locker. Tessa opens her locker and Will takes her bag. "Let me hold this open for you, it's easier." He smiles. "Thank you." Tessa grinned. She takes her bag and Will wraps and arm around her shoulders. Tessa smiles and says goodbye a few moments later before walking into her class.

As Alec runs to his class, he hears people in the halls talking about the kiss. He walks past them ignoring the questions from people wondering if he is actually gay. He gets to class and waits outside. As he is waiting, he thinks about the kiss. The warmth in his chest when he kissed him, and the fireworks he saw as their lips touched. He gets broken out of thought by a boy. Underhill, Alec had always forgotten his first name, so he called him by his last. He didn't like him anyway, so it didn't matter. "So, Lightwood, I heard you were gay. Want to head off to a janitor's closet or the locker room?" Underhill suggested with a smirk. Alec stares at him in disgust. He can't even respond before Magnus walks up. "Hey guys." Magnus says wrapping his arm around Alec and putting his hand in Alec's back pocket. Alec blushes but puts his arm around Magnus's shoulder. "Hello, I'm Andrew. Who are you again?" Andrew challenged. "Sorry, I'm Magnus. Alec's boyfriend." Magnus declared. "Didn't think he'd have a boyfriend, considering he likes to flirt with me a lot." Andrew lied. "You were the one flirting with me. Not the other way around." Alec states. Underhill rolls his eyes and walks away. "Thanks for that." Alec whispers to Magnus. "No problem. I do want to be your boyfriend, but not yet. I want to be in the talking stage for a minute. Get to know you better." Magnus clarified. "That's actually perfect. I want to do that too." Alec agreed. "Want to do a little sort of date this weekend?" Magnus questioned. "Yes, that sounds great." Alec responds as they walk into Spanish.
