Hopeless [ Malec AU ]

Magnus didn't regret his decision.

As a compromise, Izzy had agreed that they wouldn't go to the mall for shopping. Isabelle sure knew her fashion. She took them to the best shops with funky and sexy clothes and accessories. Some of them may have looked cheap or unlike Magnus's style from outside but they were hella good.

After an hour or so Izzy had got some jewellery and kick-ass boots for herself and Magnus had his hands full but they hadn't found anything for Alexander.

"Can we go back now?" Alexander sighed, as they entered another store.

"I still haven't got any dress", Izzy reminded him.
"And we haven't got anything for you either!"

She surged towards another section and Magnus's eye fell on a sleeveless black shirt that had "Sexy stuff" written in glitter.

"This is what I'm talking about", he grinned, pulling it over.

He turned around to see Alexander holding a plain cobalt blue t-shirt.

"That looks perfect", Izzy smiled, coming up with a red dress in her hand.
"Why don't you try it on?"

"Uh..." Alec said.
"I don't know...."

"Oh yes you are", Izzy said firmly, pushing him into a nearby stall.

Magnus grinned at her and went into a stall himself.

A few seconds later he was admiring his new look. He made the shirt look so good, and his muscles especially complimented the shirt.

He walked out and crashed into someone. Disarrayed, he glared at the person in front of him but his expression slackened and he barely suppressed a gasp.

The cobalt blue shirt that Alec was wearing complimented his tan skin and showing his muscles which Magnus had never noticed. His eyes matched the shade of blue he was wearing and in that moment, Magnus thought he had never seen anything more beautiful.

"M-ma-agnus", Alec stuttered, averting his eyes, looking flustered himself. It made him look even more cuter.

Isabelle entered at that very moment wearing the red dress that looked absolutely gorgeous on her.

"Alec", she grinned.

"You look amazing in this- stop pulling at the sleeves, they aren't gonna get any longer!"

"I'm just cold", he mumbled, fiddling with the tag at the edge of the t-shirt.

"I don't know Iz, it okay..."

"But Alec-" Izzy protested, but Alexander cut her off with a meaningful glare, and his eyes traveled towards his hands.

And suddenly Magnus knew it. Knew it why they hadn't gone to a mall but small stores here and there. Knew why Alexander was usually dressed in shabby sweaters and worn out jeans. Knew why he was teaching Magnus to play the guitar.

They weren't exactly 'wealthy'. And Magnus felt embarrassed for noticing him.

"Oh come on", Magnus said, walking towards him.

"This one is on me. And your dazzling dress", he grinned at Isabelle.

"Magnus-" Alec shook his head, trying to protest, but Magnus waved it away.

"I wouldn't have got such amazing clothes if it weren't for you two.

"Besides", he added.

"It would be a shame not to buy this t-shirt which looks absolutely wonderful on you", he smirked, and turned away, not missing the look on Alexander's face.

He smiled to himself. There was something different about Alexander. He wasn't any ordinary mundane.

Sorry, this is slightly late...
