F- firsts (In which Chairman Meow gets struck by lightning)
"Look, Magnus, all I'm saying is that it's a cliché. No one actually kisses in the rain. Things like that never happen."
Magnus was making Alec watch The Notebook (again). Needless to say, Alec was bored, and was pointing out flaws in the film.
"Well maybe not to you they don't, but that's not to say it doesn't happen." Magnus retorted from his position curled up against Alec's side on the sofa.
"Besides, it looks awkward. Why would you want to kiss someone when you're soaking wet and freezing cold?" Alec went on.
Magnus spluttered. "It's romantic."
"What part of that is romantic? She looks like she's eating his face."
Magnus pursed his lips ad paused the DVD with a snap of his fingers. "She is full of passion. I bet if that was us you'd look like you were eating my face."
"Oh, so I would be the girl? I think you would be the girl." Alec snorted. "And no, I'd invite you inside the house so that no one got soaking wet."
"I have Ryan Gosling's smoking hot looks. You should be honoured. Rachel McAdams is a wonderful woman." Magnus sniffed.
"And yet," Alec said. "She's a woman."
"Nothing to be ashamed about Alexander." Magnus soothed.
"I think really, that you're the girl-"
"Rachel."
"That you're 'Rachel' because you're so much more feminine than me."
"I am not!" Magnus said indignantly.
"May I remind you that you are wearing a pink jumper and glitter?" Alec suggested.
"Oh, that is not fair." Magnus said sitting up straight.
"I think it is." Alec stood and crossed the room. He pulled out his phone and punched in Izzy's number. "Hey Izzy."
"Alec? What's up? I'm with Simon, can we keep this short?" Izzy said down the phone to him, obviously irritated.
Alec sniffed. He wasn't too keen on Simon anymore. "Out of Ryan Gosling and Rachel whats-her-face in The Notebook, which ones would Magnus or I be, because he's saying he would be the dude, but I'm not her." He said dubiously, suddenly feeling a bit silly. He stuck his chin in the air, not caring that she couldn't see him.
Izzy snorted. "I don't know... Simon!" her voice got a bit fainter. "Out of Ryan Gosling or Rachel McAdams, which one would be Magnus and which one would be Alec? Yes, they are the ones in that film I made you watch." There was a pause. "We think you're both Rachel. Bye!" she hung up.
Alec made an indignant sound. "Apparently we're both her." he crossed the room and sat back down next to Magnus, who started playing with the bare skin around his waistband on his sweat pants. "Stop that, I need an answer from someone." he said (reluctantly) whilst scrolling down his contacts looking to see if he had anyone who would know.
Magnus huffed. "Fine. You're Ryan Gosling." Alec smirked, but snuggled back down with Magnus. "But I still don't forgive you."
"For what?" Alec asked incredulously.
"For saying kissing in the rain is stupid." Magnus huffed.
"Come on. Why is it such a big deal?" Alec asked.
"Why is it... Right. Up you get." He pushed Alec to his feet and led him to a relatively empty spot in the apartment.
"What are you doing? Magnus!" he exclaimed as miniature rain clouds appeared above their heads, instantly soaking them.
"Now you have to kiss me." Magnus said plainly. At Alec's blank look he sighed. "Because if you're Ryan Godling- I mean Gosling- you have to insinuate the kiss."
Alec groaned but leaned into Magnus anyway, holding him around his waist. Magnus smiled into the kiss, weaving his fingers through Alec's now-wet hair. Alec ran his long fingers up and down Magnus's spine before gasping aloud at the trail of kisses Magnus was making down his neck and shoulder. Suddenly Magnus pulled away, the rain clouds still thundering on. "So? Do you now agree how wonderful the act of kissing in the rain is?"
"I... Yeah that was pretty special, I guess." Alec said, head still reeling from the kiss.
"You guess?" Magnus frowned.
"Okay fine, I was wrong; kissing in the rain is brilliant, amazing, magical, whatever adjectives you want."
Magnus smiled. "Now let's get those wet clothes off you before you catch a cold."
Alex snorted. "Romantic."
Before Magnus could make a sarcastic remark about Alec's ideas of romance, Chairman Meow started scratching at his ankle.
"Go away Cat." he said rudely.
The Chairman meowed {A/N: Hahahaha you don't understand how hard I am laughing at this} indignantly and started climbing Magnus's pant leg, a sure sign he was either hungry or... Soaking wet?
Magnus cast a look around the apartment; a layer of ankle-deep water lay everywhere, and was growing deeper by the second. "Oops."
"Magnus!" Alec gaped. "Stop the rain!"
He snapped his fingers. A bolt of lightning hit the armchair and the rain continued. "Uh, hold on a sec."
He snapped his fingers again and a second bolt of lightning fizzed out of nowhere and hit Chairman Meow, who was sitting, shivering, on Magnus's shoulder like a parrot. The cat leapt into the air and stayed there, running around a metre off the ground. "Chairman Meow! You can fly!" Magnus exclaimed happily, not caring about the water that was slowly draining away to nowhere.
Chairman Meow mewed in delight and sat on the TV, knocking over a framed picture of the two in Tokyo.
Alec put his head in his hands

Okay, I cried so bad writing 'the Chairman meowed. I'm a weird one.
I also just realised that in E I spelt Kaelie wrong! I missed off the 'e' at the end. Oops.
