Campus Crush

Chapter 13

"Mom!" Izzy yelled running in through the doors into her mothers arms.

"My girl," she laughed. "How's college treating you?"

I walked in behind everyone carrying mine and Magnus's bags.

"It's going great. It's a lot tougher, but I got this," she laughed going to find her dad.

My mom and Jace hugged for a minute, but I couldn't hear what they were saying. All I heard was my poor boyfriend's heart race.

"She's gonna love you," I whispered too him.

"You must be Magnus," I smiled as my mom went right in for a hug with him.

"Yes Mrs. Lightwood," he hugged back and I swore he relaxed just a little.

"Call me Mrs. L, Mrs. Lightwood is my step-mother," she laughed stepping back to look at him.

He laughed, "I will."

"Now boys, I wanted to put you in separate rooms, but you're both twenty year olds so I'm not going to, but please," I stopped my mom before she had to give the talk.

"Mom we'll be good," I said setting a bag down to hug her.

"I would never disrespect your home Mrs. L," Magnus added and you could see the blush spread across his face.

"I'm not worried about it because there's no chance of a random baby," my dad laughed walking in.

"That's why you're okay with me being gay?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows a little bit.

My dad like many dads took it the hardest at first that his son was gay. I guess by nature my love for cars and being outdoors was supposed to mean I'm a straight guy, but I had to teach him that none of that affected how I loved someone. Just because I knew where the spark plugs were doesn't mean I want to touch some boobs. It'd gotten better but every once in a while I could tell he wanted us to stop talking about it.

He frowned, "no Alec I'm okay with it because you're my son."

We hugged, then he smiled placing his hand on my shoulder looking at Magnus.

"So you're Magnus?"

I could hear Magnus's heart start to race again. I just wanted to pull him close and tell him that my dad scares me too.

"Yes sir, it's a pleasure to meet you," he stock his hand out to my dad.

"I'm so glad Alec finally found someone to bring home to us," he smiled shaking his hand.

Jace looked at me from the kitchen and we were truthfully both confused. This was the first guy I brought home and he was being overly nice. We all assumed he'd be a bit awkward and say something almost homophobic, but he didn't.

He walked into the kitchen to find my mom. Jace quickly switched places.

"Something's up," he said looking at me.

"Dad was way to calm about that," I picked up my bag again and looked at Magnus.

He was a bit confused so I caught him up on how my father had acted about me being gay.

"Well maybe tonight at dinner you should see how his mood is in general that while give you hints," Magnus added.

"I will," I smiled looking at him. "Now let's go unpack."

Magnus face lite up as he rushed up the stairs. I couldn't help but laugh wondering if he was more excited to get me alone or to see my room. He paused at the top looking at the room and I pointed to the door at the end of the hall. He opened it slowly and I could see his smile.

"Alexander, this screams you," he laughed.

"Thanks?" I said questionable as to his tone setting the bags down near my desk.

"It's a little dark, you've got two bookshelf's completely full," he turned and smiled big, "and this model car display!"

He got down on his knees looking at it.

"I've always liked cars. You know me I'm not to big on accessories, but I guess they're the one exception," I rubbed the back of my neck looking.

He stood back up and stepped closer to me holding my hips.

"I think a good car is sexy."

I grinned big and leaned down whispering in his ear, "I think I know considering how many times my car has been fogged up."

I leaned back and saw him blush deep.

"Sorry I love making out in your car." He ran his hands up my arms. "I like that you're a little tougher. You're more dominant. That car says you're in charge and you'll take care of me. It excites me."

My breath hitched as I placed my hands on his lower back pulling him against me.

"I will always take care of you," I grinned, "and I do like being in charge."

He leaned up and kissed me when I head someone clear their throat outside my door.

I looked to see Jace standing grinning.

"What?" I knew I was blushing, being embarrassed from being caught for the first time.

"Well one, you guys can't ever make fun of me for being horny again," he laughed.

I rolled my eyes still holding Magnus close.

"Two, not to ruin the mood, but dad just stormed out of the house."

"What?" I looked confused.

He can't leave. It's thanksgiving. We're supposed to be together as a family. Maybe he was acting weird, but why? I was honestly scared to figure it out.
