Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 16- The Gig

The gang stood outback in club, hearing the chants and cheers that came through the stage. Another band had just came off and their equipment was being set up for them now. Magnus was feeling more nervous as time went on, peaking through the curtains to see the big crowds and only making himself feel even more worried to see the sheer amount of fans that where there. He felt Alec's presence behind him and leaned into him as Alec took his hands off the curtain and entwined their fingers before hugging him.
"How are you doing Handsome?" Alec asked softly kissing his shoulder, neck and then cheek.
"I have you... so I'm ok" Magnus smiled in his embrace and feeling more relaxed now. "Alexander, Can I ask you something?"
"Of course, anything" Alec replied as he unlinked their fingers and turned Magnus to looked at him before holding him around the waist.
"B-before when you said... said that I was y-your man..." Magnus looked down as he chewed his bottom lip unsure on how to word his thoughts, until he felt Alec's fingers under his jaw and tilt his head back, smiling at him. "Im just wondering... you can say no, I'm just a little confused and I need something clarifying for my own head.. but if you say no then that's fine..."
"Magnus. Stop panic talking... calm down and just ask me. I can already guess but I want you to ask" Alec smiled sweetly. Magnus nodding and taking a deep breath.
"Ok... Does... Does this mean you are my b-boyfriend?" Magnus asked, closing his eyes as he spoke fast. Trying to get that last word out before bottling it. Feeling Alec's lips on his eye lids and opening them to gaze at Alec's face.
"If you will have me, Angel" Alec beamed.
"If I will have you? Of course I would, I don't even need to think about that... but are you sure you want a relationship with someone like me?" Magnus asked. Aware that Alec had changed his term of endearment for him that moment.
"I would love nothing more than to be your boyfriend. You are amazing, beautiful, generous, strong and one of the most incredible people I have had the honour of meeting" Alec's said, his grin matching Magnus's as he leaned down and kissed him softly and lovingly. "Wait... does this mean I have to get along with my new in-laws?"
Magnus laughed along with Alec as he shook his head and kissed him again when the announcer interrupted them and heard him telling the crowd that Brooklyn Revival was coming on. Alec giving Magnus one last quick peck before they pulled away from each other and followed the others on stage. Alec taking the microphone first and speaking to the crowd.
"Whats up Revivalists?! As you are aware, Jordan moved away and left the band but today we have the honour of showing off our incredibly talented and amazing new singer. Mr Magnus Bane!" Alec's voice booming through the club as the crowd clapped and cheered as Magnus stepped forward and smiled.
"Hi Guys, I'm grateful to be here and... well let's get this show on the road" Magnus said, pleased he sounded more confident than he actually felt. "This first song is called 'Darkness Hunter'"
The music boomed to life and Magnus sang the words perfectly. The crowd seeming to love him and every now and then he look at Alec for confirmation that everything was okay. Alec seeming to be happy with him so he just continued as he was. His eyes darting around sometimes as he tried to find the possible scout but he could never find them and didn't want to make it obvious.
When the song came to and end the crowd cheered, Magnus was aware he was listening out of any booing and was relieved when he couldn't hear any. Only positive screaming. The next song 'Jump Start' was played and Magnus jumped into the song. He seemed to find himself, he didn't know if it was the adrenaline, his new look or the fact that he had Alec, but he seemed to get into the movement of the song.
His hips swayed as he sang to the audience, dancing around and falling into the music. He didn't know what came over him but he felt free and alive as if nothing could hurt him. Wrapped in a bubble of his own happiness. The words flowing out of him as he sang and moved.
When the song came to an end, everyone seemed happy with the performance and Magnus turned and smiled at Alec who walked over and kissed his cheek. The audience cooing at the couple as they watched and Magnus instantly turned into a mess, blushing hard as he giggled into Alec's neck.
"Why would you do that?" Magnus asked but he wasn't angry or annoyed.
"Cause I want everyone to know you are mine" Alec replied with a chuckle holding him around his waist.
It was then Magnus was aware that the crowd were cheering out 'Malec! Malec! Malec!' And he looked round, seeing all of them looking at them with adoration and he felt weepy. That he was accepted as they cheered the mash up of their names.
"T-They aren't making fun of me?" Magnus said confused.
"Of course they aren't angel, being into guys isn't a thing to be ashamed off" He smiled, kissing him softly. Magnus's hands going round his neck as he kissed him back. Feeling like they was twirling through the air through fireworks in that moment. Only breaking the kiss when they needed to take a breath.
Magnus pulled back and smiled at the crowd before announcing their next song. 'A treasured love'. Magnus looking at Alec and winking before diving into the song. A song about finding that one person that completes you, makes you feel like you can do anything and treasuring that person until the end of time as if they are the most precious thing on earth.
Magnus knew he loved Alec, knew he never felt what he did for Alec with anyone else and knew that he wanted to be with Alec forever. However, he knew it was too soon to say anything. Knew that they hadn't even gone on a date yet and didn't want to scare Alec off taking about love and strong commitments.
Instead, he focused on the rest of the gig, getting through all the songs as best as he could and hoping to make a good impression on the scout that Magnus still couldn't find in the crowd. The fans seeming to like the usual songs plus an original that Simon wrote with Izzy 'Star Wars is better with love' which the fans adored.
A few hours later, their gig was over and the next band was getting ready to come on. Magnus was at the bar ordering a couple of drinks for him and Alec. Simon had taken Izzy home, who was finally willing to talk to him about what was really wrong and not telling him she was just on her period. Clary was dancing in the corner with Jace, Magnus shocked by some of the moves Clary was performing as she ground against him. Magnus watched as some man approached Alec and shook his hand, Magnus was guessing it was the scout when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning to see someone he didn't not expected to see.u
