6. The Last of The Real Ones
"I was just an only child of the universe,
And then I found you
You are the sun and I am just the planets Spinning around you
You were too good to be true
Gold plated
But what's inside you?
I know this whole damn city thinks it needs you
But not as much as I do" -Fall out Boy
Alec sat in his car in frustration. He had managed to escape, but not before being stopped by fans. That wasn't the issue, his fanbase seemed to have grown immensely overnight, and most were pleased. Some, however, said he was doing it for attention. It wasn't. Alec didn't want any of this, didn't want media worrying about who he was dating, why couldn't they care about his performance! He'd done so well too! But no, everyone was too busy worrying who he was dating. And he wasn't EVEN dating anyone!
He leaned his head against the wheel. Did he want to date Magnus? He barely knew the guy. Another reason he was so frustrated: his father had finally decided to call him. And after a needless amount of swearing, and threatening disownment, he'd finally said he was ashamed. How had this come to be? His entire life had gone straight to hell in less than 72 hours.
Raphael had been right, no one was in the parking garage on the fourth floor. He got out of his car and walked in. He wandered for a bit, was this what he wanted? Was he willing to turn his life more chaotic and get close to Magnus? He answered his own question when he found himself standing in front of room 382. He pulled out the key Raphael had handed him and slowly pushed open the door. This was what he wanted.
He stepped into the room that was incredibly similar to his, except this one had two beds instead of one. The water of the shower could be heard running, Magnus' must be showering, as Alec sat on the edge of the neatly made bed.
"You're back early!" came the voice from the bathroom. "Did you see my Alexander! He did so good! I told you he would! Didn't I tell you he'd be great! And then he called me amazing! AHHH! That interview! Poor thing, but he looks so cute when he's flustered!" the water was shut off.
Alec couldn't bring out any words, choosing rather to listen to Magnus' gush. He was happy hearing him, Magnus' had watched him after all, he'd paid attention to the performance! Someone had.
"I should call him! But I don't have his number! Raphaelllll" he whined "why didn't you remind me to get his number! What good are you to me!"
"Sorry?" joked Alec laying back against the bed, Magnus' thought he was Raphael. This was too funny.
"You should be sorry! I mean, it's not like I can just snap my fingers and make him appear! Ugh! How will he know I want to see him again!"
"Try snapping your fingers" he muttered out sarcastically.
The door opened a smidge as his hand popped out, he snapped his fingers frantically. "See! Didn't work"
Magnus had continued to ramble while in the bathroom, clearly too deep in his own little world to realize it wasn't Raphael answering him. Alec had enough as he sat up and laughed. "Magnus. I'm right here you know."
"Wait, what?" The door rushed open as Magnus stepped out, still a little wet, and a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Surprise?" said Alec laughing at the look of shock on Magnus' face.
"Alexander" he spoke out awkwardly. "hi"
"hi"
"If you'll excuse me" he said calmly holding his finger in the air in a 'one moment' gesture. As he went back in and shut the door softly. Alec stared at the door. And nearly laughed his head off when he heard the frantic panicking and muffled screaming from behind the door. It was a couple of minutes and the clatter of things dropping in the sink as Magnus tried to get dressed. Grateful he'd remembered some pants.
"Ummm. Alexander?" he asked through the door.
"Yes Magnus?"
"Can you pass me a shirt from the purple bag? I forgot to bring one in here"
"You could just come out without it. I wouldn't mind" he squeaked out shyly, grateful Magnus couldn't see the deep shade of red his face was turning.
Magnus obliged, stepping out from the bathroom, with hair brushed back and only a pair of sweatpants.
"I hope you don't mind I came here. Raphael helped me escape, and gave me the room key"
"Of course not!" Chimed Magnus practically prancing over to the bed and sitting close to Alec. "Mi casa es su casa" he said in a horrible accent. "And it's not like I'm complaining. But what brings you here?"
"Everything is a mess" he spoke out. Laying back against the bed. "Everyone knows I'm gay, my dad is mad, and now the media is having a field day."
He felt a warm hand on his arm. "But do you regret it?" Magnus asked softly, a little concerned that Alec could regret him.
"Truth is. No. Not one bit. I keep trying to. I want to. But I can't. I mean, I met you. How could I regret that?"
Magnus smiled hearing those words. He lay against the bed next to him. "Well then. What are you going to do?"
"I don't really know"
The pair lay in bed in silence for several minutes. Alec was content, as crazy as things had gotten, he felt at peace. It probably had to do with the wonderful boy right next to him. Ok, he lied, it definitely had to do with Magnus beside him.
"Alexander. Can I ask you something?" he spoke softly.
"Sure."
"so, you are. Right? Like, you are into boys, right?"
Alec laughed. "Yes. As strange as that is to say out loud. I am"
"Good" he said happily, taking a risk and snuggling in against his side. Alec tensed up for a moment, but then relaxed.
"Are you?" he asked back.
"Honey, if you can't tell with me, your gaydar is SERIOUSLY broken"
Alec sat up in the bed suddenly when he heard his phone ring. He reached into his pocket and saw the caller ID. His sister was calling. He looked confused, did he want to ruin this moment, with a phone call? He thought about it for another second. Magnus sat up and placed his chin on his shoulder. Almost like a good angel.
"You should answer" he spoke softly. Trying to sound reassuring.
Alec did and heard Isabelle out. Things were strange. She apologized for posting the picture, didn't think it would go that big, apologized for everything. She told him his brother had called it, he didn't care, he was happy for him. His mother, although hesitant, had said it wouldn't make her love him any less. His father, was still pissed, but Maryse had told him if it came down to it Alec would be the one chosen. Alec listened quietly. Isabelle assured him he still had a family that loved him. Magnus sitting beside him rubbing soothing circles on his back.
"Thanks Izzy" he finally said when the girl stopped talking. "I'll be home soon-ish"
"Soonish? Are you with Magnus right now?" she asked.
"Yes." Was all he said. "With Magnus" he liked the sound of that.
"Ok big brother. I'll see you when you come back. I love you"
"I love you too Iz" he hung up the phone gently.
"So? What happened?" Asked Magnus cautiously, prepared to offer comfort if needed.
"You have a cat?" he said suddenly, throwing Magnus' off and a laugh escaping him.
"Focus please!" he sang out.
"Sorry. I just saw a cat under the bed."
"That is the Chairman, hopefully you get to become well acquainted with him in time" silly Alexander, no wonder he hadn't understood the questions. Some things just flew right over his head. "So how is everything family wise?"
"They are ok. Isabelle says they are accepting of my choice"
"So, this" he said. "you're ok with this choice? With me? And everything that may bring"
"You know what. I am. Even if it means I lost my shot at the medal. It means I got you in my life now. I think that's prize enough" he smiled so sweetly at him. His bright eyes sparkled as he looked at Magnus.
"Alexander. Can I do something?" he asked nervously. "Will you close your eyes?"
Alec obeyed, closing his eyes. He'd just met the boy 2 days prior, but already he knew he needed him.
Magnus leaned in slowly, placing his lips against Alec's. A soft gossamer kiss, that translated mountains of feeling and admiration for him. Alec let out a small breath against Magnus' lips, opening his eyes, he smiled at him gently.
"Was that ok?"
"It was perfect" he said. Leaning in, already searching for his lips one more time. Whatever was happening, as crazy as his life may be now, Alec couldn't want anything else.
"There is something I need to do" he spoke out suddenly. Once again grabbing his phone. He turned it on bringing the camera app open, and facing it towards himself.
"Hello Internet!" He started out. "I am Alec Lightwood. Yes, I'm gay. This is Magnus" he said twisting his wrist to bring him into the frame and placing a really fast kiss on his cheek. "I hope you are all happy now. Bye!" he ended, submitting his video to Instagram, and chucking the phone across the bed.
"Well that was brave of you" teased Magnus, his hands already in Alec's hair, he brought himself close enough to feel his heat.
"Don't remind me! I'm pretty sure my hearts about to explode!"
"We wouldn't want that happening now do we?" he teased again, leaning in to steal another of what promised to be several more kisses.
