chapter sixteen

Alec blinked in disbelief, "Magnus? What the hell are you doing here? And why are our costumes so fitting? Are you stalking me?" Magnus walked closer, trying to process every question Alec was throwing at him. 

 "I'm here for the same reason you are; I slept with Marley. Ages ago. And, honestly, I have no idea why our costumes are so similar. Guess the universe really wants us together." Magnus let a smile curve at his lips, Alec trying not to look. Alec kept repeating to himself that Magnus wouldn't make him happy and it would end in heartbreak, but it was hard when Magnus was so charming and looked like that all the damn time.

The door opened before Alec could make a witty remark, both of them turning to see Marley, dressed in a joker costume. He had the iconic red smile painted up his cheeks, his dark blonde hair looking like a green hair-chalk had been dragged through it. His expression was confused as they lay on Alec and Magnus, his eyes scanning their outfits curiously.

 "Are you two together?" Marley asked in surprise, his eyes more-so focusing on Alec. Alec smiled meekly, trying to ignore Magnus' presence from beside him. The last time he saw Marley seemed like decades ago, and it was a very sexual meeting.

Alec shook his head quickly, answering before Magnus could even think about it, "Nope; just a weird coincidence. How are you?" Alec began to go through Marley's door entryway, leaving Magnus to follow in a few moments later. Magnus could already tell how bad of an idea this was. 

As soon as he entered, Alec felt the environment of the party rinse away any problems or worries he had. The smell of alcohol and sex filled his senses, his eyes widening and flickering around the large hallway, seeing the lights dimmed and beams of coloured light scanning every square inch.

 "You're rich," Alec pointed out with a small laugh to Marley, thanking him as he gave him a cup of something blue. It smelt strong, which was all Alec needed. Magnus disappeared somewhere else, Alec trying to push the familiar boy to the back of his mind and focus on the attractive one in front of him.

Marley smiled at Alec, saying that it was his parents' but they were out of town. Alec wondered how old Marley was, although guessed in his early twenties. He had tattoos, so he was at least 18, if it was legal that is.

 "I never thought I'd see you again," Marley yelled over the music, walking Alec through to the living room, Alec taking a sip of the blue drink. He tried to hide the massive cringe on his face from how strong the alcohol was, although continued to sip at it. It tasted good.

Alec said as they sat down on a free sofa, "I've been pretty busy with family drama and porn stuff." The way Alec said it imitated that Marley knew what he meant, which was why Marley nodded his head and rolled his eyes, as if that was a big problem for him too. 

Marley asked in curiosity, "I use my real name for porn, do you?" Alec was about to nod his head and say it was his real name, but figured that it couldn't hurt to tell Marley his first name. There were many Alecs in Brooklyn, Alec was sure. Marley said it was a pretty name, Alec smiling a thank you.

Then Marley smiled, "I saw your video with Magnus Bane. It did really well. I did one once with him too; he's really sexy, isn't he?" Alec swished his tongue around his mouth uncomfortably, trying to chug the drink as fast as he could.

 "Yeah; I guess so. Why, are you jelly?" Alec said, his words curving as Alec smirked at him. He couldn't help as his flirtatious side came out. It usually happened when he started to drink, and he was a total lightweight. Plus, Marley was gorgeous. 

Marley let out a light laugh, looking down at the glass he was holding, trailing his finger along the rim of the glass. "Maybe a little. What can I say? You're liquid lust," Marley said, his words silky and smooth like a hot cup of coffee.
