Somebody Like You (Malec)

Chapter 8:Boyfriend

Alec's POV

  I woke to a beautiful sight beside me. Magnus was laying next to me still asleep, his face was relaxed and his lips were slightly parted. His arm was flung across my shoulder, I gently grabbed it and put it in the bed. I untangled myself from the canary yellow sheets and got up and went to his bathroom. His bathroom was a lot simpler than his room. The walls were blue and in the corner stood a shower with cloudy glass, near it was the toilet, and towards the front of the bathroom was a countertop sink with different types of gels, makeup, other hair products, and his glitter. I splashed some water on my face and washed out my mouth(I had to do something to at least get rid of some of the morning breath until I got home), and ran my hand through my hair smoothing it down. I dried my face on a purple towel he had on the countertop.

  I walked out of the bathroom and went to grab my shirt. I slipped it on over my head and walked over to Magnus. It was 5:30, good if I wasn't at the institute early then people would see me walk in and get suspicious. I kneeled down beside him and placed a kiss on his cheek, I got back up and turned around until he grabbed me by my wrist. "Alec, don't go" he said groggy still half asleep.

  "Magnus, I would love to stay but I can't, I need to get home or people will start to wonder what happened to me" He sat up, his cat eyes looking into my sapphire blue ones. He leaned up and kissed me only to then lie back down.

  "Come visit soon okay?"

  "Yes Magnus" I kissed him again then got up and walked out of his apartment. When I was outside I took another look at his building then walked to the institute not wanting to leave.

  I opened the large doors to the institute hoping it wouldn't creek loud enough to wake people up. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by two people, one I was glad to see the other not so much. First I saw Church, which I was glad to see, I bent down a stroked his gray fur. The second person I saw was Jace, casually sitting on the couch wearing a black t-shirt and jeans. "Ah so you finally decided to get up" he said in a sarcastic tone.

  "What are you doing up so early?"

  "Oh nothing, I just went to your room a few minutes ago just to not find you there, and here you are opening the doors."

  "Jace, it's nothing don't worry about it."

  "You said you were going for a walk last night, you never came back until now, so what's her name?" a large grin has spread across his face.

  "Jace I said it was nothing, just I went to visit...er...Simon to see how he was coping with all this and I ended up passing out on his couch." I was praying to the angel he believed me even though I know I'm a terrible liar.

  "I see, well whatever I'm going to order takeout from takis before Isabelle gets up." and with that he stalked out of the room.

  I walked up to my room and into my bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. After I was done I changed into some lighter jeans, a dark gray t-shirt, and a black sweater, by now it was 8:40. I walked into the kitchen to find Isabelle and Jace standing around. Jace was wearing what I saw him in earlier and Isabelle was in a red shirt with ruffles and black pants.

  "So Alec, how was your night" Isabelle said with a wink.

  "It was alright, just slept through the night"

  "Supposedly at Simon's, he said he was making sure he was coping well and passed out"Jace cut in.

  "Oh really Alec? well that's nice of you" Isabelle said with a smirk. The rest of the next hour had been long and awkward eating out takeout in silence, trying to see when is my chance to leave and visit Magnus.
