Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 11- Misread

The evening after they finished tidying up the warehouse, Jace and Clary went back to their place and Simon spent the night at Izzy's leaving Alec and Magnus alone. Tomorrow with the big day and they were all taking some time to chill out with their partners, except Alec and Magnus who weren't actually officially together yet.

Now though, Magnus was in his room reading a book even though his mind wasn't really focused on it. Too wrapped up in him and Alec to really care about his Harry Potter book at that moment. Last he saw Alec, he was going to his room on the phone to his mother and little brother Max. Magnus caught the gist of the conversation that they were meant to be coming to their gig tomorrow but now couldn't make it due to Max coming down with the flu.

Sighing, Magnus decided to go for a shower wondering if it would help him relax a little so he gathered his towel and toiletries as well as his robe and clean boxers before heading off the communal bathroom to use the shower. He would have gotten dressed but he was going to bed after and only slept in boxers so he couldn't see much point.

He had just turned the corner to head to the bathroom when he collided with something and toppling over onto the floor. His stuff scattering on the floor before gasping when he felt the two strong arms that caged him down on the floor and realised he had crashed into Alec and dragged him down on top of him. Opening his eyes to meet the sparkling golden green that shone down at him.

"erm...hi..." Magnus blushed looking up at him and realising Alec was naked above him, the only thing covering him was a towel wrapped around his waist.

"hi," Alec chuckled back. Moving his lips to Magnus and kissing him softly. "I like this position but you must be uncomfortable"

Magnus laughed and shook his head, playfully slapping Alec's arm so he would get off him. Alec, standing up and offering Magnus a hand, pulling him up and straight into his arms and grinning. Magnus looked over Alec's face. His usually messy black hair now wet and flopped over his forehead and dripping with water a little.

Unable to help himself, Magnus pulled away and stepped out of Alec's reach. Watching the confusion set on Alec's face as he stepped away. Magnus wanted to inspect Alec though, wanted to see if his mind had done Alec's body justice, which of course it hadn't. He was sure this naked man was photoshopped to look like a Greek god as he looked over his wet muscular arms and completely ripped physique, all glistening with water. Magnus couldn't help but bite his lip as his every wandered from the dark smattering of dark hair that covered Alec's chest that leads down his stomach a little and into a line that led down the middle of his toned V that disappeared under the white towel. The toned calves with the same dark hair and Alec's feet even looking attractive, he had no idea why though.

Magnus couldn't help his tongue darting out and licking his lips as he looked at Alec in front of him, greedily to run his tongue over him. To touch him. His eyes dancing over Alec's body before returning to his face to see Alec smirking at him.

"Like what you see here handsome?" Alec asked proudly. Magnus biting his lip and blushing again before nodding. "I think it's unfair that you've seen me half naked and you've not reciprocated"

"Maybe... maybe after you've taken me on, what was it? 2 dates? Maybe then you can see" Magnus chuckled throwing Alec's words back at him about his 2 date rule.

"Well... I mean we could do other stuff..." Alec winked, stepping closer as Magnus grinned. He had no idea what Alec wanted to do but he was up for it, whatever it was.

Magnus watched as Alec stood flush against him, his body heat radiating onto Magnus as he leaned down brushing their lips together about to kiss when they heard the front door bang shut and they stepped apart, Alec frowning when he saw Simon walking in furious and grumbling about stupidity and silliness.

"Si, What's up? Where is Izzy?" Alec asked, annoyed and already piecing together that Simon was moaning about his sister and it got his back up.

"Don't... Sorry Alec, I know she's your sister and I love her so much but she's crazy. I swear, she's insane" Simon growled, pacing the living room with a frown.

"Excuse me? Why don't you tell me what happened before I kick your ass for talking about my sister like that? I know you wouldn't normally say that.. so something big happened" Alec glared. Magnus could see Alec's strong back now and could see the way it flexed as he tried not to get angry at Simon. It was only turning Magnus on though, imagining his fingers clawing down it, his mind brought back to reality when he heard Simon talking again.

"We were sitting on her couch watching a film. Just chilling out. Clary texted me that she and Jace were going to go out for a date the day after tomorrow and wanted to invite me and Izzy, you know like we usually do. Anyway, Izzy reads the text over my shoulder and completely flipped. Saying that I'm having an affair with Clary and we were planning a date together" Simon exclaimed running a hand through his hair before pulling out his phone. "Look this is the text, she saying that Clary never mentions Jace or her and that it's just me and Clary?"

Simon passed his phone to Alec who read the text, his anger turning to confusion as he read the text that Simon had explained about all 4 of them going but not understanding his sister's anger at Simon.

"Wait... she said she read this text?. And now thinks you and Clary are what? Dating in secret? fucking?" Alec asked.

"I have no idea, both I think. She called me a scumbag and kicked me out. Like dude, you know how much I love her and wouldn't do that. Plus it's Clary, she's like a sister to me. Plus let's be honest, Clary would be the worst person for me to cheat with... Can you imagine you and Jace? I'd be dead!" Simon sighed "She won't even talk to me or let me show her the text or explain. She just flipped and went bat shit crazy at me, throwing her glass of wine at the wall before kicking me out. I don't know what to do Alec"

"That's weird.. even for Izzy. Are you sure you didn't do anything before the row?" Alec questioned as he passed the phone back to Simon.

"No.. I mean we were kissing and cuddling as we watched the film. I know she worried about Max but she didn't seem pissed off or anything. She just... turned" Simon said sounding defeated as he shook his head.

"I'll talk to her, I'll see if I can find out what's wrong," Alec said offering Simon a smile. "Sorry for, you know, getting shitty with you"

"It's fine, she's your sister. I get it." Simon shrugged. "Let me know if you find out"

"I will do," Alec said watching as Simon left before looking around to Magnus to find him looking him up and down. "You really love looking at me, don't you handsome"

"It's like artwork" Magnus smirked, before shaking his head and realising it was the wrong time for this. "Anyway, go and ring Iz. See if she is okay so I can take a shower"

"Yeah okay, I wanted to watch you get naked and wet but I suppose siblings are meant to ruin the enjoyable moments" Alec chuckled, walking over and kissing Magnus softly before heading off to his bedroom.

Magnus watched him leave, loving the way the towel hung perfectly from his hips as he went. Smiling to himself before shaking his head and disappearing in the shower to get cleaned, scrubbing himself clean as he wondered about the gig the next day. His first gig.
