The Way of Life (A Malec Fanfiction)

How do you prepare for a party?

Alec regrets his decision to go to the party right after he sent that text. He has absolutely no idea what to wear. He stares at his wardrobe. He gives up and decides to go with that green sweater and the black jeans he's wearing right now.

"Alec, your mom and I are going to visit Max." He hears Robert yelling. He informs them that he's going out with Jace and Izzy and it could become late.

"Does this Magnus-guy come, too?" Robert asks disgusted.

"No. It's just us siblings." He lies. His parents leave and he decides to make something with his hair. After some minutes he hears the door being opened.

Maybe Izzy can help him with his hair. "What are you doing?"

He jumps and turns to see Magnus standing there, smiling. The first thing that comes in Alec's mind is 'Wow'. Magnus looks stunning. He even has a little bit of make-up on, which really suits him. His hair has a strain of gold, which looks perfect with his red-gold shirt.

Alec can't take his eyes from him. Magnus snaps with his fingers to bring Alec back. "Alexander, are you here?"

He is obviously enjoying this. "Right, uh.. I-I wanted to...uh make my ha-my hair." He stutters.

Magnus cocks an eyebrow. "You do your hair before you change clothes?"

"Actually I am going to wear this." Alec says.

The older boy shakes his head. "No way. Come on, it's a party." He takes Alec's hand and drags him to his bedroom.

"I know, Magnus. But I have no other clothes." He confesses.

Magnus chuckles. "I know, and this is why I bought you something." He tosses a bag in the bed. "Try it on."

Alec grabs the clothes and looks at them. It's a golden shirt and white pair of jeans. "I'm not going to wear this. No, nope. Don't even try to convince me. Not going to happen."

"Come on, Alexander. Please." He begs.

Alec shakes his head. "Magnus, stop teasing him." Izzy yells from the bathroom. "Show him the real clothes."

Magnus leaves a confused Alec in his room and returns a few seconds later. "Here, this screams more like Alec." He hands him the with a huge grin.

Alec takes it with a fake grin. Magnus and Izzy bought him a light-blue jeans and  a grey Botton up shirt. "Thank you, Magnus."

Magnus nods. Alec stays there, like he's waiting for something. "Is everything Okay?" He asks.

Alec looks up. "Yeah, yeah. It's just, you know. I want to change."

"I'm sorry, darling. I don't understand." Alec gives him a look. Then it clicks. "Woah, you want me to leave this room. I already saw you naked and you know that."

"Can you maybe not talk about our sex life when my sister is in the room next to us?"

"Too late." They hear Izzy saying. Without saying something, Magnus leaves the room but stays outside.

Alec knows that he's outside. "It's not what you think it is. I swear. I just like to dress alone."

Magnus doesn't answer to this. If Alec says he likes to dress alone. he believes him. They are supposed to have fun tonight. He's not going to ruin this, because of something silly like this.

Alec opens the door and Magnus' jaw drops. He has never seen Alec so good-looking. But he can hide his admiration, which Alec has to learn.

"I was thinking that maybe you could do my hair?" Alec asks shyly.
