50 Shades of Malec

Another Party... What Could Go Wrong?

gMAGNUS POV

The last party we had, had gone badly. Nothing could happen this time, could it?

The room looked party-ready. I had black and silver decorations up everywhere and giant red balloons readin '20'.  The cake had three tiers, and it was black and silver. It had twenty-one candles evenly spaced on each of the layers.

I heard a knock at the door, "Magnus, open up!" Crap. It was Clary.

"Hang on a moment, Biscuit. It's an absolute mess in here." I snapped my fingers, and it all disappeared. The door opened. 

"Magnus, I..." Her voice broke. There were tears in her eyes.

I pulled her into a hug. "It's okay. We don't have to talk about it. Instead, let's get you a drink."

I waved my fingers, and a glass of bourbon appeared in her hand. I had to get her out of here before anyone got back. I flicked my fingers while she wasn't looking, my phone rang.

I picked it up. "Hello, Magnus Bane speaking." Nobody was there but, I was willing to do anything to get Clary out.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!" I 'ended' the phone call and turned to Clary. "I'm sorry, Biscuit, but this cannot wait. Come back to my house at around 10 pm. I wish I could stay here with you, but this really can't wait." I hugged her for a long moment.

"Okay." She sniffled.

I walked her out and then opened a portal. I portaled right back into my apartment. I reset everything for her birthday. 

Alec came running in. He wiggled his eyebrows as he said, "We still have hours before the party..." His eyes drifted towards the bedroom.

"What did you get for Clary?"

He showed me a set of absolutely beautiful oil pastels. I snapped my fingers, and they were wrapped in silver paper and on the gift table.

"I still have to get Clary a gift. I was wondering if you could get her blades from her...?"

"Done." He turned around and walked out. "But, when I get back..."

Damn, I caught a good one. Alec was shy when this all started, but now, Alexander was perfect. 

I went and mixed myself a martini and sat down, looking at the room. Perfect.

Jo came rushing in. Her cat eyes were out, and she looked terrified. 

"Magnus, I don't know what's happening! Please help me!" She stood in front of me, things were flying around the room with her panic. I grabbed her arm and let some magic flow throw into it. Her eyes rolled back into her head, and she collapsed.

She woke up looking at me from the couch. "What did you do?"

"I had to calm you somehow, pumpkin."

"Why does this keep on happening to me?" Her eyes were full of panic.

"Because your magic is ruled by your emotions. When you panic, and you don't know how to control your magic, your magic panics with you. You need to begin to use it."

I spent the entire time teaching her how to use it until Alexander got back.

"Clary's blades, as requested."

I ran my hands over one of them and murmured a few spells. I handed the other to Jo. "You heard the incantations I did, right?"

She nodded and took the blade. She whispered the spells to the sword. She handed it back to me. "You did it correctly, my dear."
