Hello readers!

Maisie hurrrr.

This is my two parter starting with Magnus. This is the scene from CoB when they first meet.

Here we go!

♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢

The doorbell rang. Again. Sometimes Magnus wondered why he had all these parties. So much work!

When he flung open the door he was expecting cranky vampires, but what stood in front of him was completely different.

Clarissa Fray.

Well, her and a horde of other Shadowhunters. And a mundane. Huh. 

The blond one was good enough looking, as was the girl, but Magnus's gaze was drawn to the boy in the back.

He was absolutely gorgeous. The black hair/blue eyes combo made him want to drool, and his innocent face was so endearing that Magnus could hardly restrain himself.

The girl spoke first. "Magnus? Magnus Bane?"

"That would be me," he answered, drawing his eyes away from Blue Eyes to look at the Shadowhunter girl. The necklace she wore was familiar, but Magnus was a little too intoxicated to remember tiny details.

"Children of the Nephilim," he continued, trying to act surprised. "Well, well. I don't remember inviting you."

The raven-haired girl spoke again. "I have an invitation." She waved a paper in his face. "These-" she gestured to the others, "-are my friends."

Magnus plucked the invite out of her hand and examined it. Valid, unfortunately. He could've just told them to piss off, but Clary intrigued him. As did the gorgeous boy in the back. "I must've been drunk," he said with disdain. "Come in. And try not to murder any of my guests."

The blond one stepped up and examined him. "Even if one of them spills a drink on my shoes?"

"Even then," Magnus answered.

He noticed a stele in Blondie's hand, and plucked it out. "As for this," he tucked the stele into the blond boy's pocket, "Keep it in your pants, Shadowhunter."

He walked towards the party, then turned back when he noticed they weren't following him. "Come on. Before anyone thinks this is my party," he beckoned with his hand.

After some hesitation, they followed, and Magnus led them into the crowd. He noticed Clary with wide eyes, and smiled. "You like the party?" he asked.

She gave him a forced smile. "Is it in honor of anything?"

"My cat's birthday."

"Oh." She looked around. "Where's your cat?"

Magnus sombered and leaned against a nearby pillar. "I don't know. He ran away."

Blue Eyes and Blondie joined the group. Clary and Blondie were having a conversation, but Magnus was paying attention to Blue Eyes.

And Blue Eyes was paying attention to him.

They caught each other's gazes for two seconds before Blue Eyes turned away, blushing. He looked adorable when he blushed.

Blondie turned back to Magnus. "Look, we really need to really need to talk to-"

"MAGNUS BANE!" He was interrupted by a screeching vampire. The vampire pointed a trembling finger at Magnus. "Someone put holy water into the bad tank of my bike. It's ruined. Destroyed. All of the pipes are melted."

"Melted?" Magnus murmured, frankly not interested. "How dreadful."

"I want to know who did it. I thought you swore there would be no wolf-men here tonight, Bane," he said accusingly.

Magnus waved his hand dismissively. "I invited none of the Moon's children, precisely because of your little feud. If one of them decided to ruin your bike, they weren't my guests, and therefore..." He smiled. "Not my responsibility."

The vampire growled, looking extremely offended. "Are you trying to tell me that-"

But Magnus had had enough. With a flick of his hand, the vampire halted his roar and put his hands to his throat. "You've worn out your welcome. Leave now," he said tiredly. The vampire staggered away. This always happened at least once at a party.

Blondie whistled. "That was impressive."

"That little hissy fit?" he said, looking up at the ceiling nonchalantly. "I know. What is her problem?"

Blue Eyes started laughing then; a harsh, unpracticed, and unused laugh, but a beautiful one. "We put the holy water in the gas tanks, you know," he said bluntly.

Blondie looked at Blue Eyes like he was surprised he had even spoken. He looked even more displeased at what the  angel boy had said. "ALEC. Shut up."

Alec. So that was his name. It was original, that was for sure. And somehow, it suited him. It was probably short for Alexander. Magnus loved the name Alexander.

Wasn't there a Lightworm named Alexander?

"I assumed that. Vindictive little bastards, aren't you?" Magnus said to Alec.

"One less leech without a fancy ride," Blondie cut in sarcastically. "My heart bleeds." He sounded a lot like Will.

Alec cut in, looking dreamy, "I hear some of them can make their bikes fly."

Magnus smiled. It was true, but a well-kept secret. "Merely an old witches' tale," he answered vaguely. "So why is it you wanted to crash my party? Merely to wreck some bloodsucker's bikes?"

Blondie straightened up. He looked like someone who had lots of power and knew it too. Alec, on the other hand, looked like he'd rather melt into the shadows. "No," he answered. "We need to talk to you. Preferably somewhere private." His tone was cocky, yet serious, and Magnus was again reminded of Will.

Magnus raised an eyebrow, a bit cautious now. "Am I in trouble with the Clave?" he asked.

"No," was the answer Blondie gave him.

But apparently Alec thought otherwise. "Probably not," he said with a smile, until Blondie kicked him in the ankle and he let out a gasp of pain. "Ow!"

"No," Blondie repeated. "We can talk under the seal of the Covenant. Anything you say will be confidential."

"And if I don't help you?" asked Magnus warily. Blondie spread his arms wide. "Maybe nothing. Maybe a trip to the Silent City." He smiled.

Magnus sighed. He didn't want to do this, but he really didn't get much say in the matter. "That's quite a choice you're giving me, little Shadowhunter."

"It's not a choice at all."

"That's exactly what I meant."

Okay, this whole thing is too long to do in one part.

So, I'm going to write two parts for Magnus and two parts for Alec.

This took me literally 5 hours to write because I had to copy the lines and stuff. :/

I'm going to upload my first chapter of Baby Steps at 12:00 tonight, so be readyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Vote, comment, enjoy! ♡
