How to not mess this up #malec fanfiction

Start of a downfall

"Cat, you have to help me! I am a Libra, and you know I can't decide on my own!" Magnus yelled, throwing away the shirt he was holding. Catarina giggled, holding a glass of champagne and watched as Magnus stomped back into his spacious wardrobe. Sitting on the sofa were two other men, one dark and brooding, that would be Raphael, and the other equally unamused but very pale, would be Ragnor. Magnus stomped out again. "Oh dear, you are not wearing that!" Catarina exclaimed and got up from her seat, slightly dizzy from the alcohol. Magnus groaned as Catarina ushered her back into the closet.

"So, who's the guy?" Ragnor asked. Magnus poked his head through the closet doors, asking "What? What guy?" Rangnor rolled his eyes, picking on his nails "I mean, we all know you take hours to pick an outfit but I haven't seen you throw a fit like this since we took you to that Lady Gaga concert two years ago. So who's the guy you're trying to impress?" Raphale snorted and said "I don't want to talk boys again. This is boring me." Magnus tried to protest but Catarina yelled "The guy who did his amazing tattoo! And believe me, he is hot. Like 'I would date him' hot." Rangnor raised his eyebrows at this. "Then he must be extremely hot if my girlfriend wants to date him." 

Ragnro and Cat had been together since the 6th grade and they weirdly completed each other. Catarina was a dark skinned beauty with long black hair, Ragnor was pale with blond short hair. But they fit together like two puzzle pieces. Magnus stepped out of the closet, wearing only dark red leather pants and stated "I mean, he is dreamy, I'll give you that. But there's something different about him...I mean I can flirt with near anybody, but when he was next to me I felt like I couldn't breathe. And all my witty compliments and charm was out the window." Raphael stopped in the middle of scrolling through his instagram and glared at Magnus. Catarina's hand was holding one of Magnus' shirts but she too gaped at him. Finally Ragnor said "Well, I can't wait to meet the guy that makes Magnus Bane speechless." 

Catarina laughed and Raphael asked "Did he make you blush? Please tell me he did. Cat, did you get a picture?" Catarina giggled and said "Oh, sorry, no picture. But he sure did blush at mister dark, tall and handsome." Ragnor almost fell from the sofa, because he was laughing so hard, but Magnus said in an exasparated tone "Cat!" The woman stopped giggling and said "Alright, alright. Let's see..." She went back to the closet, Magnus on her heels.

Finally he was dressed in black skinny jeans, with a dark blue button down (Which, as Magnus said, reminded the colour of Alec's eyes) and grey dressing shoes with blue laces. He had on a blue blazer and his hair were in spikes, with some dark blue glitter showing and he had done his make-up, his nails were painted black. Magnus was fiddling with his rings when they waited for Catarina to emerge from the bathroom. Once she was done with her make up, they all started towards the bar.

"To Magnus!" they all shouted and downed their shots. This was their second, but since Magnus could only drink hard liqouir, he had also a vodka and tonic in his hands. He was starting to feel the dizzyness. He glanced around the bar. There were a lot of people, but not the one he was looking for. Glancing at the clock, it was 23.44. Almost midnight. Catarina pulled him to dance and Magnus complied, never could he resist good music and a good dancing partner. And Cat was exceptionally good at dancing. Suddenly someone grabbed his arm and it was a dark haired girl, smiling at him. "Hey! Great dance moves!" she shouted over the music. Magnus smiled and thanked her. "Want to get a drink?" the girl continued, batting her eyelashes. Magnus thought about it for a moment when a dark voice laced with amusement sounded behind him "Sorry, he's going to have to decline that. I already got that covered." Magnus turned and there stood Alec, with two drinks in his hands.

He was wearing the same jeans from before, but he also had a button down on, dark red and he wore a black leather jacket. A strand of his hair was falling to his eyes and Magnus felt compelled to brush it aside. Alec handed him a drink and then leaned in, saying "Happy birthday!" Magnus glanced at the time and it was indeed his birthday. It was 24.10. Magnus smiled and they clincked their glasses together. Magnus nodded towards the bar and Alec followed him. At the bar Raphael sat, talking to a guy named Simon. "Hey, Raph! This is Alexander!" Raphael glanced at them and stood to shake Alec's hand. He seemed impassive as always, but said "Nice to meet you." Magnus chuckled and said to Alec "He hates people so consider that a compliment." Raphael rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to his friend.

Catarina and Ragnor emerged and hugged Magnus, wishing him a happy birthday. Then Ragnor's eyes fell to Alec and he said loudly "Wow, you weren't joking, he is hot!" Magnus groaned. Trust Ragnor to embarass him. Alec smiled and turned to Magnus "You think I'm hot?" Magnus tried to seem confident "No...well Yes. I mean, who wouldn't?" Catarina laughed and chimed in "I certainly do." Alec blushed and said "Thanks. That's very sweet of you." Magnus smiled at him, blushing Alexander was so cute! "Alright, let's get some shots!" Catarina yells.

A few hours later they are all on the dance floor, except for Magnus and Alec, who were still sitting at the bar, both mildly drunk. "And then I thought, hey, what's one thing I've never done but have always been scared to do? And then I drew the tattoo." Magnus finished telling his story. Alec smiled and said "Well, I'm glad you chose our parlour." Magnus chuckled and put his hand over Alec's forearm (Damn this boy had muscles!) "I am glad you were working there." Alec seemed to lean in so Magnus did too, but Alec said "I feel really drunk." Magnus laughed and said "Me, too." Alec replied "Then maybe I should go home." Magnus felt disappointment, but nodded "Hmm, you're probably right...But I would love it, if you'd stay." He heard the hope in his voice.

Alec reached out his hand and said "Phone". Magnus handed it to him, without question. Alec punched in his number and then stood up, staggering a bit. "I had fun. I'll see you around?" he said, uncertain. Magnus stood up too, and suddenly, put his hand on Alec's cheek. He traced his jawline and then run his thumb over the man's lower lip. Alec closed his eyes, gasping slightly. Magnus said, almost like a whisper, "Yes. You will." He planted a soft kiss to Alec's jawline. Alec opened his eyes, not startled at all, and he seemed desperate. "Now you make me want to not leave." he said. Magnus chuckled and wiggled his eyebrows "Well, I am not stopping you from anything." Being drunk had made his confidence come back again. Alec thought for a second but then he shook his head. He leaned down and whispered next to Magnus' ear "Oh, don't worry. I plan on doing everything." And then he left.

Magnus stood next to the bar in shock. He had never felt such an attraction towards someone, ever. Alexander was truly something else. He could be the downfall for him. And Magnus liked the idea of it.
