Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 12- Gig Morning

Magnus woke up that morning absolutely terrified, trying to put on a brave face but he was feeling sick with worry. Now the time was here, he knew he had to do well for the band. What if he messed up, they would all fail this 'audition' to the scout that was coming. He laid in bed and looked up at the ceiling as his stomach went over with nerves wondering if he should have offered to help if he was going to be sick and worse still if he would throw up on stage.

He laid there as more and more worrying scenarios that could happen tonight ran through his mind, trying to stop but unable to, when there was a knock at his door. He contemplated ignoring it but sighed and called for whoever it was to come in. Smiling when he looked and saw Alec coming in but Alec was frowning at him.

"Why are you still in bed? It's 10:30? Are you ok? Are you sick?" He asked, Magnus hearing the worry in his voice and finding it so lovely. Sighing he sat up and moved over on his bed so Alec could sit next to him, despite it being a double bed and Alec had plenty of room to get in already.

"I'm fine... It's just..." Magnus stopped and looked down as he knotted his fingers together, chewing on his bottom lip nervously. He felt Alec's fingers under his chin and he looked at him, feeling Alec's soft lips across him making him relax.

"What is it Handsome? Talk to me" Alec asked softly.

"Alexander... what if... what if I mess up tonight and you lose the scout? What if I make a complete fool of myself?" Magnus sighed as he looked at him, looking at the way Alec smiled at him a little.

"Oh Mags, you won't mess up. You are an amazing singer with a beautiful voice, we are proud to have you in the band and if that scout doesn't like our band or you mess up, well... well that's their loss and we will get another chance off someone else" Alec said sweetly, "Please don't worry Handsome"

"You think I have a beautiful voice?" Magnus smiled, feeling his cheeks flush as he realised he had barely listened to the rest of Alec's words after that compliment. Alec's chuckle making Magnus smile even more.

"I do. A beautiful, incredible and sexy voice" Alec winked. Pulling Magnus into his side and hugged him. "I'll be there with you too and if you think you are going to mess up the words just looked to me and I'll take over. I promise, I'm here to help you in any way I can"

Magnus leaned into Alec, hugging him back, feeling the unfamiliar safety he always felt from being with Alec and knowing that as long as he had Alec, he would be ok. Looking up at him, Magnus leaned in and kissed him softly. Pulling Alec to him more as their lips moved together. Alec wrapped his arms around Magnus's waist and lifted him onto his lap, kissing him back. Magnus willingly letting him and opening his mouth, letting Alec take advantage of the opportunity to coax their tongues into a dance. Sliding along each other. Magnus's hands wrapped into Alec's hair and tugged the short hairs at the back, pulling his head back and deepening the kiss as he moaned. Unable to stop himself from making the noise before pulling away and blushing.

"Sorry..." He mumbled.

"Why did you stop?" Alec asked with a smirk as he ran his hands up to the backs of Magnus's thighs. "You look so cute when you blush"

"I... We need to stop and get ready. Did you speak to Iz last night by the way?" Magnus asked as he got off Alec and went to his closet. Catching Alec's grumble that he got off him.

"I did but she wasn't telling me anything, only moaning about Simon and Clary. I tried to talk to her but she went crazy at me and said I was taking his side. I don't know what's up" Alec shrugged but frowned when he saw Magnus's frown. "What's up?"

"Nothing. Anyway, I'm sure Izzy will come around. It sounds like one big misunderstanding to me" Magnus replied, but he was slightly distracted as he went through his wardrobe. Nothing seemed to jump out although it was all black and looked the same and he hated his clothes.

"Maybe. Magnus will tell me what's wrong?" Alec asked again but this time more stern, making Magnus turn and look at him, sighing slightly.

"Its nothing really. I just... I don't know what to wear... nothing is exciting enough. God, I hate my clothes..." Magnus frowned as he looked back at the dark wardrobe.

"Let's go shopping then?" Alec suggested. "I'm not the best shopper and well Izzy loves it so maybe she can come. Then you can get a new outfit and maybe she will stop with her moodiness and actually say what's up"

"I don't know... we can go and have a look I suppose but I think I have every black shirt and black jeans in existence" Magnus chuckled sadly.

"Well branch out... go for some colour... why are you always in black anyway?" Alec asked, he knew his style wasn't exactly bold but that was because he liked wearing darker colours.

"Honestly? I tried wearing colour before and my father said I looked gay and that people will hate me. I've never worn it since" Magnus shrugged, looking at the floor as he remembered the memory. Still not quite believing what happened. "It was only a dark blue shirt..."

"Fuck sake. I really hate your dad, sorry but I really do... he's got to be the worst human in the world" Alec spat out making a disgusted look, but looked at Magnus, smiling and walked over to him. "We are going shopping and you are buying whatever you want. If you want to wear it, then we are buying it"

"But... What if someone thinks I'm gay or calls me it? Or... or what if I get attacked or what if something happens?" Magnus asked, starting to panic about everything his father told him about gay people getting attacked.

"Magnus! Calm down. Jeez, your father really did a number on you" Alec sighed, pulling him in for a hug and soothing him with a hand down his back. "Listen to me... If, and I mean if, something happens I will be there with you and I won't let anything happen to you. I promise. It's in 2019. People are a lot more accepting of the LGBTQ+ Community now. Don't panic. Besides, we will be going to a concert of our own fans, I'm openly gay and I've never had a problem. You will be 100% fine with me, I won't leave your side, I promise"

Magnus relaxed into Alec's embrace, loving the way he instantly felt safe there, feeling like no one could hurt him if he had Alec. The way Alec's strong arms wrapped around him and held him close, it was like his way creating a barrier around them from the outside world and Magnus was in awe of it. Pulling away, Magnus looked up at him and smiled.

"Thank you. Honestly, you have no idea how much I love that I met you." Magnus smiled, feeling a few tears fall.

"I love that I met you too, Handsome. You are amazing, kind, caring, sweet and you deserve so much happiness" Alec said as he wiped away Magnus's tears with his thumbs before leaning down and kissing him softly before pulling back a little. "Come on, let's get the real Magnus Bane to shine"

Magnus chuckled as he leaned in and gave Alec a quick peck on the lips before grabbing out some clothes, watching as Alec left to go and ring his sister. Magnus could stop the smile on his face as he got dressed, finally feeling accepted and loved by the people around him. Finally feeling like everything might be ok after all.
