Malec High School AU

XI

     Magnus had told Alec to choose a restaurant to eat at and he ended up just choosing burgers. They had started telling old stories about themselves. "So, there was this one time, me and Jem got high, and I know we said we were safe with it, but we really weren't. We got high and decided it'd be a good idea to go skinny dipping." Magnus started. "No way." Alec interrupted. "Yes actually. It was us and my ex, we went skinny dipping and then streak through the park." Magnus finished. "Oh my god what were you on." Alec laughs. "We were all smoking weed and me and my ex were drunk." Magnus smiled. Alec laughed at his answer. "Ok, my turn. So, when I was little, and we had just adopted Jace we were going exploring. He saw a snake and got scared and started running away. I was completely different then, but I picked up the snake and started scaring him with it until he teased me, and I dropped it and started chasing him. I ended up falling and broke my nose. My parents didn't believe me so now I have a little crook in my nose from never getting it fixed." Alec finished to see Magnus looking at his nose. "Wait I can see it a bit but it's so cute." Magnus confirmed. Alec blushed and covered his face. Magnus smiled at him.

Once they finished eating Alec had insisted on paying but Magnus ended up getting him to let him pay. Magnus had asked for the keys to Alec's car to drive him somewhere he wanted to take him. Alec hesitated but gave him the keys and watched him as he drove. Magnus looked over at him and put his hand on Alec's thigh as he drove. Alec blushed and looked out his window. Magnus pulled up to a drive-in movie. "I've never been to one of these." Alec stated. "What? How?" Magnus questioned. Alec shrugged and smiled at Magnus. He looked at what was playing and frowned. "Nope, I don't do scary." Alec says. "I promise The Shining isn't scary." Magnus beams. Alec smiles and agrees. The movie finishes and Alec looks at Magnus. "Ok, that actually wasn't that scary." Alec states. "See I told you." Magnus jokes. "Should we head back to my place?" Alec wonders. "Sure, but there's another thing I want to do when we get there." Magnus agrees and switches places with Alec. "Ok." Alec agrees.

As they pulled up to Alec's street Alec pulled out his phone and called Clary's mom. "Hey Alec, what's up?" Jocelyn spoke. "Hey, can you tell my dad that someone is coming home with me from your house because he forgot his keys, and nobody is home? Also, that my phone died?" Alec asked. "Yea I will bye bye." She replied hanging up before he could thank her. Alec stopped the car for a few minutes before driving up to his house. He grabbed his keys and led Magnus inside. "I'm home." Alec said looking at his mom in the living room. Maryse nodded and waved him and Magnus away. They walked up to Alec's room and sat on the bed for a few minutes in a comfortable silence. "What did you want to do?" Alec asked Magnus breaking the silence. "Right, follow me." He said leading Alec to his balcony. Alec looked him confused before he realized where Magnus wanted to go. Alec smiled and started climbing the ladder he had going to the roof.

They got up on the roof and sat there together. Magnus laid back and looked up at the stars. Alec followed his lead and laid down next to him. "Oh my god is that the-" Magnus stopped himself realizing he was about to say something he only said with his ex. "What were you going to say?" Alec questioned. "I was going to make a joke, but it was a joke I had with someone else." Magnus clarified. "Tell me about them." Alec stated. "I'm not going to talk about my ex with the guy I'm talking to." Magnus says. "Come on, I don't mind." Alec responds. "Her name is Camille. We were together on and off for three years. I thought we were fine, but she cheated and was manipulative. I lost my virginity to her because I thought she loved me when she really didn't. I used to make a joke when we were out at night. We snuck out a lot because we hated our families. Every time we were out, we'd look at the stars, and even if it wasn't there, which it never was, I'd say 'is that the big dipper?' she hated it." Magnus said with a sad smile. "I think it may be your lucky night, the big dipper is right there." Alec commented pointing up. Magnus whipped his head around and looked up. It was there, he always hoped it be there when he said it. He looked at Alec and hugged him. Alec hugged back and kept his arm around Magnus's waist when they pulled back. "Can I kiss you?" Magnus asked looking in Alec's eyes. Alec nodded and leaned forward to kiss him.
