I Do (Malec)

Chapter 26

Hello readers!

So I know I was not supposed to write today and that I was supposed to do ACMW yesterday, but my life got screwed so...

I've also decided not to continue doing ACMW until I'm done with this story. It should be like 5 more chapters :'(.

I DON'T WANT IT TO END!

Thank God I'm doing a sequel bc this story is literally my life.

Erika POV

The glitter rains down on me in torrents, so that I'm pushed to the ground. In front of me, I can hear Magnus and Alec laughing their heads off, the assholes.

After a few minutes, the glitter storm dies down to a drizzle (can you use drizzle to describe a glitterstorm?). I look around to see that all the glitter is centered where I am.

I have my own, personal glitter storm.

"What the hell?" I ask Magnus, who is holding the umbrella at his side. Alec's Fearless rune looks to have worn off, and he's looking at the umbrella with scorn.

Magnus is smirking now. "Oh, I think you know. You-"

"Um, Mags," Alec cuts in, now focused on me rather than the umbrella, "she was kinda obsessed with me. I wanna be the one to bitch her out." To others his tone may seem whiny, but coming from him it sounds endearing.

Magnus nods, so Alec takes off. "You little bitch, you had no fucking right to do the things you've done the past few days. Because of you, I almost broke off our engagement. What was supposed to be fun family time has turned out to be hell. I know you're distraught about your family dying and everything, but did you have to take it out on us? Couldn't you have kept your obsession quiet? I have spent the last few weeks in a frenzy, because either I was getting tortured, or I was getting icky looks from my own people. I was hoping I'd finally get some fucking peace, being with my family, but NO! Erika fucking Glimmerthorm had to go and screw it all up! Well you know what? FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU AND YOUR CREEPY OBSESSION WITH ME! I AM SO FUCKING DONE WITH YOUR SHIT! GOOD-FUCKING-BYE, BITCH!"

I stand back, stunned. This is the worst. The man I love completely hates me. The glitter cloud moves with me as I walk towards the door, tears streaming down my face.

Magnus with me and he gets there first and blocks the entrance. "Oh, what do you want now? I just got brutally, verbally murdered by the man I love, and I have a temporary glitter cloud!"

He smirks. "Oh sweetie, it's permanent. But, I just want to tell you how this works. One, you don't tell Robert and Maryse it was us. Make up some story. Because if you do, we'll tell them the shit you've been doing, and lemme tell you something, they'll be on our side."

"Second, you don't speak to any of us. Ever. Again. And third," he pauses, "glitter is amazing." And with that, he and Alec walk out the door, hand in hand.

(A/N: that felt really good lol.)

Alec POV

"You had to add the part about glitter, didn't you?" I ask Magnus happily. I feel like skipping down the hallway, or having a picnic with a unicorn.

"Duh," he answers. "It's the truth."

Suddenly, I'm swept off my feet and onto Magnus's back, piggyback style. He runs down the hallway cheering. Thank the Angel this part of the Institute is deserted.
We reach Izzy's room where everyone is waiting, and barge in. "Success!" I yell.

We all start cheering and laughing and shouting profanity at Erika. I'm on top of the world. I could fight off any Greater Demon, twice, with my bare hands.

And although celebrating with everyone is exciting, there's something else I'd rather do.

I pull Magnus away from Izzy, who is talking about the wedding. "But Alec," she protests, "I need to know if I'm making a chocolate or vanilla cake!"

I turn around to look at her. "There is no way in hell you're making any cake, lady. Now, goodbye."

We reach my old room and I pull Magnus in. "We were celebrating!" he whines.

"Oh, but Magnus," I say seductively, "I know an even better way to celebrate." I slam the door closed.

Magnus smiles widely. "I just love it when you use your large amounts of sexiness."

Then all words disappear.

Maryse POV

I am making dinner when Alec and Magnus walk in, hand in hand. They look tired, and I'm not sure I want to know why.

Erika follows in after them, but she is covered in glitter! The glitter is coming from somewhere invisible above her head, and she looks pissed.

"Erika!" I exclaim. "What happened?"

She sighs. "I was taking a walk when I bumped into a warlock. He was pretty mad, because I made him mess up some important spell. Then, he put a curse of eternal glitter on me."

I hear the boys snickering in the corner. "Is there something funny about this?" I ask them sternly.

Alec tro and fails to make a poker face. "Nope. Nothing at all, Mom."

Suddenly, an idea comes to me. "Magnus! Can you reverse it?" I ask.

He stands up and walks around Erika, examining her thoughtfully. "Mmmmm, nope, I don't think so. This looks pretty permanent." He taps the place where the glitter is coming from, and sparks fly. Blue sparks.

The same sparks Magnus has.

And who else would use an eternal glitter spell to curse someone?

However, I can't prove it. I nod at Magnus, so he sits back down and whispers something to Alec, who snickers.

Jesus Christ, it was them.

But, seeing Erika standing there, her arms crossed, her normally blood red cheeks flaring even redder, her slight pudginess making the glitter get stuck in her fat folds, is quite funny. So I shrug it off.

"Erika, I'm very sorry. We can find someone else, " I shoot a withering glance at Magnus, "to reverse it."

"Yeah, it's okay," she says tiredly. "I'm gonna go to my room."

Why would the boys give her an eternal  curse?

She must've screwed them up pretty bad.

This is probably one of my favorite chapters ever.

I'm gonna draw a pic of Erika with the glitter.

It will be posted on @malec_united on instagram by the the end of tomorrow. Go check it out!
