You don't look like a lawyer?

"So you did what?" Me and Alec were sitting in the park. "I punched him right in the face." We had been here since we finished school. "Why?"
"Because he was being stupid." I rolled my eyes at him. "You can't punch people because there stupid Alexander." He shuck his head in disagreement. "Well he was being really stupid." Now I couldn't hold in my laughter anymore. "Well I will sure as hell not want to be on your bad side." He pushed me in the side. I gave an over dramatic reaction. "I would never hurt you Mags not on purpose anyway." I pointed at the place he punched me. "Alexander you just pushed me, I think I'm in an abusive friendship here." He snorted. "Yeah but if you stop being friends with me you'll have bigger problems." He made a fist and made a threatening face, but his smile was back after just a couple of seconds. "Alexander, I would never, an abusive friendship is ok for me and it's better than no friendship at all, right?" He nodded in agreement. "Ok but I'm starving do you want to go and eat something."
"Sure, wouldn't want to be on your bad side and say no, Nacho Mama?" He nodded and we started to walk from the park down the street we had walked so many times before these past weeks.

"Mama's nachos are the best in all of New York." I had so much nacho in my mouth so I just nodded.
"Ok so what do you say about that party at Lorenzo's place this weekend?" I was weird Alexander hated party's, and now he was the one asking me about them. "I can't this weekend, and you remember what happened last time, I don't think we will miss much." I prayed he wouldn't ask me why. "Why, what are you doing?" Of course he asked its Alexander we are talking about here. "I'm just busy, nothing you need to worry about." He gave me a strange look and I understood why. I never hid things from him. I told him anything and so did he, he knew me better than anyone and here I was making stupid excuses. "Alexander don't give me that look I just have to fix some stupid paper work and stuff with Rafael at the Pendemonium." I hated to lie, why didn't I just tell him the real reason. I felt awful and at that moment I divided to never lie to him ever again, because it felt terrible. Though most of what I said was true; I was going to the pandemonium, and I was going to do some paper work with Rafael, the new owner of the night club. But that wasn't the real reason, the real reason was that I wanted to be alone, I wanted to let all the hurt and tears I had held in just disappear. My mom died the 19th of October and that was only two days away, I always had a bad day the 19th and I was not going to let Alec be a part of my misery.
Me and Alec finished eating and went on with our day, never mentioning the topic at the nacho place again, luckily.

"Ok so Halloween is only two weeks away, what are you doing for a costume?"
"Well I was going to let Tessa decide, she's better than me with those things." Alec looked at me with disbelief. "Magnus you wear the most extra clothing I know, I don't care how good your friend from London is, but she can go and do something else cuz you don't need her help, I bet you're twice as good as her anyway you just promised her and now it's to late to back out." I couldn't help but giggle. Alec was so protective. "Ok, and I guess you have your outfit all planned out." He gave me a smirk. "Yeah I got the best costume of all, I'm going to dress as you!" I was shocked, Alec wanted to be me for Halloween? "Seriously, and were do you think you'll get the costume, exactly?" He was still smirking. "I have my sources." I nodded my head. "I bet." We got eye contact and couldn't hold in our giggles anymore. I felt like a teenage girl, giggling about everything, but Alec just had that effect on me, and there was no way to stop it.
