Antique British Pram For Sale

You may not yet know who will Jace

We hope that by the end of this month was announced, as mentioned in previous posts, what actor would Jace in the film adaptation of Shadow Hunters: City of Bones. But those hopes just fade with the following information from twitter:

Question: "There is a rumor that the actor that Jace will be announced within the next two weeks. Do you know if there is some truth in that? "

Cassandra Clare: "No, because while they are shaking things can not know how long it will take negotiations."
Ayy
was not prepared for a disappointment like this! I like to dream that when you reach the end of the month we will know something .. but reality is another ... Here you

tweets that confirm it:

Lily Collins says the recording of City of Bones will be this year

Here I translated an interesting article by TMI Source on statements he has made Lily Next Movie:


TALKS ABOUT LILY COLLINS "HUNTERS SHADOW "WITH NEXT MOVIE, MAKE SURE THAT THE SHOOTING HAPPEN THIS YEAR.

Lily Collins may be the next big thing in Hollywood, according Next Movie.

Collins has been on tour press for his upcoming movie "Priest," which hits theaters on Friday (Who's excited?), and recently sat down with Next Movie, where he gave a little light on its role as Clary Fray in "Shadow Hunters : City of Bones. "

" I Clary Fray, and we are with the casting of other characters, and is based in the most exciting series of books by Cassandra Clare, "said Collins." And being a fan of "Harry Potter" and "Crepúsuculo," and be able to have my own franchise, and one based on a girl heroine, is a complete honor . And I love the director Scott Charles Stewart, who was also in charge of "Priest" and the executive Clint Culpepper at Screen Gems .

Collins has also been chosen as "Snow White," and came to light the filming of "Snow White" would come before "Shadow Hunter." But do not be alarmed, Collins said the filming of "Shadow Hunters" will happen during the current year.

"We are in process it," Collins told Next Movie, "and I just be chosen as" Snow White, "and that goes before. Filmar Hunters happen this year, for sure. Only slightly delayed . "

Collins also revealed how excited I feel to be part of a project that could be the 'next' Potter 'or' Twilight '"and the wonderful support the fans of" Shadow Hunters "have been .

" Seriously, I read the book series and I loved ," Collins told Next Movie, " and I forgot how many fans - I mean, I'm a fan of them - but how many fans are out there. The second casting was the internet, it was a scandal .... You read a book about a hero and you have this idea in your mind, so the casting could go either way. So have your support and enthusiasm with me was a complete honor. And it's crazy to think that it could become that. "


What do you think the interview? Love the enthusiasm that has Lily in the series and the movie: D

" Cowboys. T set. Boots."

Falling And Symptoms Of Nausea Afterwards

Jace Collins talks with Hollywood Crush on Simon

Here I translate a Crush Hollywood interview with Lily Collins just published on the casting of Simon:)

HUNTER STAR SHADOW, LILY COLLINS SIMON TALKS ABOUT FINDING THE PERFECT

Yesterday we brought you the exciting news directly from the author of "Shadow Hunters" Cassandra Clare that the casting has begun for Simon Lewis, adorable heroine's best friend in the adaptation Clary Fray supernatural thriller film's young adult novel.

Cassie made clear, however, that the hapless teen rocker will not be chosen until it has met Jace, Simon saw the potential and need to have chemistry with the star reading Lily Collins and whoever it is ( finally) chosen for the impossibly beautiful Hunter Shadows. But this warning has not stopped to consider every possibility for this fun role. (Crush Hollywood readers seem to admire enough to Logan Lerman so far ...) So it should come as no surprise that when Lily stood in the MTV News offices today to discuss your next vampíricia fiction film "Priest", we make sure to bring the situation simon, too.

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

" Well, Simon is like the boy next door and becomes a young man and obviously in some way a creature also "said Lily." is very intellectual, clever, nervous. It's more like the guy alternative. It is also very vulnerable in the sense that Jace is, but I think he is less confident with the girls and their appearance and himself. "

is not to say that Lily does not see the appeal of the boy the next door. " But that makes your trip much more interesting because it grows at a different way than it does Jace," she continued . "But again, even physically very different and have very different personalities and are very different worlds. "

" will be interesting to see that they are parallel to interpret between two people and a sufficient contrast. "

Undoubtedly one of the best benefits of "Stone City" coming the big screen will see the intense chemistry between Clary and Jace for now we can only imagine. But I must add that I am equally excited to see the growing tension between the two loves of Clary. Come on Simon!


What do you think these words of Lily? Ayyyyyy news casting and by favorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Vintage Cazal Replicas

Scene Malec in Spanish


Part 1: Translated by CDS Mexico

SPECIAL KISS


was printed on thin paper, almost parchment, a thin, elegant hand. Announced a meeting in the humble home of Magnus, a wonderful Witch, and the assistant promised "a warm afternoon of delights beyond your wildest fantasies." City West.


Standing in the stairwell of the home of Magnus, the name Alec observed ring below the wall. BANE. The name does not seem to fit with Magnus, he reflected, at least not now that I know. If you really could say they know someone when you attend one of their parties, once, and then they save your life but you are not aware to thank him. But the name of Magnus Bane made him think in a kind of imposing figure, with broad shoulders and a purple tunic formal witch, invoking the fire and lightning. Not the Magnus, which was more like a cross between a panther and a mad elf. Alec
deep breath and let out the air. Well, he had come so far, maybe I could go on. Atop the bare bulb hanging like shadows swept, as he approached forward and pressed the doorbell.

A moment later a voice echoed through the stairwell. "WHO INVOKES THE HIGH WITCH?"

"Er" said Alec. "It's me. You say, Alec. Alec Lightwood"

There was a kind of silence, as if even the same hall have been surprised. Then a clang, and the second door opened, letting off the ladder. He headed up the tottering steps into the darkness, which smelt as pizza and dust. The decline in the second floor was bright, the door at the other end open. Magnus Bane was leaning in the doorway.

Compared with the first time Alec saw it, looked quite normal. His black hair was still in peak, and looked sleepy, his face, even with those cat eyes, very young. He wore a black shirt with the words ONE MILLION DOLLARS placed across the chest in sequins and jeans that hung low on his hips, so low that Alec looked away, facing his own shoes. Which were boring.

"Alexander Ligthwood" said Magnus. Had the slightest trace of an accent, one that Alec could not put their fingers on the pronunciation of vowels. "What I owe the pleasure?"

Alec looked behind Magnus-"You-company?"

Magnus crossed his arms, making their biceps look good, and leaned against the side the door. "Why do you want to know?"

"I expected to have a word with you."

Hum eyes looked up at Magnus down. They really shone in the dark, like cats. "Well, then." He turned abruptly and disappeared within the department, after a moment of surprise, Alec followed.

The loft looked different without hundreds of bodies in the mixing. It was - well, not common, but the kind of space where someone might live. Like most lofts, had a huge central room divided into "rooms" by a group of furniture. There was a collection of pictures of couches and tables located on the right, to where what Magnus motioned to Alec. Alec sat on a sofa gold velvet with elegant wooden scrolls in their arms.

"Would you like some tea?" Magnus asked. He was not sitting in a chair, but he was lying on a tufted ottoman with his long legs stretched before him.

Alec nodded. He was unable to say anything. Anything interesting or intelligent. Jace was always the one who was saying things intelligent and interesting. He was the parabatai of Jace and all the glory that was needed or wanted: to be the dark star of a supernova. But this was a place where Jace could not accompany him, something that Jace I could not help. "Sure."

His right hand suddenly felt hot. He looked down and realized that holding a wax paper cup of Joe, the Art Café. Smelled like Chai. Jumped, and barely escaped spill it on yourself. "For the angel -"

"I love that term" Magnus said. "It's so original."

Alec looked at him. "Did you steal this tea?"

Magnus ignored his question. "So," he said, "Why you are here? "

Alec took a sip of tea stolen." I wanted to thank you, "he said, when I take some air." For saving my life. "

Magnus leaned back on his hands. His shirt rolled onto her flat stomach, and this time Alec had no where to look. "You want to thank me."

"You saved my life," said Alec, again . 'But I was delirious, and I think that really gave you thanks. I know you did not have to. So thank you. "

Magnus eyebrows disappeared into her hairline. "De .. nothing?"

Alec put his tea down. "Maybe I should go."

Magnus rose. "Having come this far?" All the way to Brooklyn just to thank me? " He was smiling. "That would be a waste of effort." He walked over and put his hand on Alec's cheek, his thumb stroking her cheek. His touch felt like fire, sparking his apso. Alec froze we surprised - surprised at the gesture, and amazed the effect it is having. Magnus's eyes narrowed, and withdrew his hand. "Huh" he said to himself.

"What?" Alec suddenly worried about whether he had done something wrong. "What is it?"

"It's just that ..." A shadow moved behind magnus, with smooth agility, the Witch looked around and picked up a small, gray tabby and white. The cat got tangled up mysteriously in his arm and Alec looked at with suspicion. Now two pairs of golden-green eyes watched him. "It was not what I expected,"

"Shadow of a Hunter?"

"From a Lightwood."

"I knew you knew so well to my family."

"I've known your family for hundreds of years." Magnus's eyes sought his face. "Now your sister, she is a Lightwood. Tu -"

Part 2: Translation by The Mortal Instruments News in English.


"She said I liked you. "

" What? "

" Izzy. My sister. I said I liked you. I liked it. I liked it. "

" I liked you, "I liked you?" Magnus buried his smile on the cat's skin. "Sorry. Do we have twelve years? I do not remember saying anything to Isabelle ... "

" Jace said it well. "Alec was blunt, it was the only way he knew how to be." That I liked. That when he came up here, you thought it was me and I was disappointed to see him. That never happens. "

" Does it not happen? Well, it should. "

Alec started." No - I mean Jace, he is .... Jace. "

" He brings problems, "said Magnus." But you have no malice. Which in a Lightwood, is a riddle. You have always been a family delineated as a low-income Borgia. But there are no lies on your face. I have the feeling that everything you say truthful. "

Alec leaned forward. "Would you date me?"

Magnus blinked. "See, that's what I mean. Honest."

Alec bit his lip and said nothing.

"Why did you leave me?" Magnus asked. Are tackling head was Chairman Meow, long fingers folded cat ears down. "It's not that highly desirable, but the way in which you asked, it seemed as if some adjustment pidieras -"

"I do," said Alec. "And I thought that I liked, and say yes, and could try - I mean, we could try -" He put his face in his hands. "Maybe it was a mistake."

Magnus's voice was soft. "Does anyone know you're gay?"

Alec shook his head, was found breathing a little strong, as if he had run a race. But he could do, deny it? When he came here to do exactly the opposite? "Clary," he said, hoarsely. "What was ... It was an accident. And Izzy, but she never say anything. "

" Not your parents. Not to Jace? "

Alec Jace thought about knowing, and walked away thinking, strong and fast." No. No, I do not want them to know, especially Jace. "

" I think you could tell him. "Rubbed his chin Magnus Chairman Meow." He broke into pieces like a jigsaw puzzle when you thought going to die. Worry - "

" I think better not. "Alec was breathing rapidly. He rubbed his knees of his jeans with his fists. "I've never had a date," he said softly. "I've never kissed anyone. Never. Izzy said I liked you and thought -"

"I am not indifferent." But you like me? Because this issue of being gay does not mean you should throw yourself at any guy and will be fine because there is a girl. There are people you like and people who do not. "

Alec thought in his room at the Institute, being in a delirious pain and poison when Magnus came. She had barely recognized. Was almost certainly had been screaming for their parents, Jace, and Izzy, but his voice could only go out in a whisper. Magnus recalled hands on him, her fingers cool and soft. He recalled the strong grip he held on the chest of Magnus, for hours, even after the pain was and I knew it would be nice. It was recalled Magnus looking face in the light of dawn, the dawn shining like gold gold in their eyes, and thinking how strangely beautiful she was, with her look and grace of a cat. "

"Yes," said Alec. "I like you."

He met the gaze of Magnus front. The witch was watching him with a kind of mixture of curiosity, affection and awe. "It's so strange," said Magnus. "Generic. Your eyes, that color -" He stopped and shook his head.

"The Lightwood, you know we never had blue eyes?"

"Green Eyed Monster," Magnus said, and smiled. Chairman Meow deposited on the ground, and the cat moved Alec, and rubbed against his leg. "A Chairman likes you."

"Is that good?"

"I never go with someone who does not like my cat," said Magnus easily, and stood up. "So let's say Friday night?".

A great wave of relief came to Alec. "Really? Want to go out with me?"

Magnus shook his head. "You have to stop playing hard to get, Alexander. It makes things difficult." He smiled. I had a smile like Jace - it was as if they appear, but the kind of smile that lights up her whole face. "Come, I'll walk out."

Alec Magnus went after the front door, feeling as if the weight was gone from his shoulders, one that even he knew he was carrying. Of course I would have to make an excuse about where I was going on Friday night, something that Jace would not want to participate, something that needed to do alone. Or I could pretend I was sick and escape. I was so lost in thought that almost collided with the front door, against whom Magnus was leaning, watching with narrowed eyes as crescents.

"What?" Said Alec.

"Have you ever kissed anyone?" Magnus said. "Nobody at all?"

"No," said Alec, hoping that would not disqualify him to leave with him. "Not a real kiss."

"Come here." Magnus took him by the elbows and closer. For a moment Alec was totally disoriented by the feeling of being so close to another person, the kind of person that he wanted to be around that long. Magnus was tall and thin, but not skinny. His body was hard. His muscular arms slightly, but strong. He was taller than Alec, which was rare, and complemented it perfectly. Magnus's fingers were under her chin, bringing your head slightly upwards, and then they kissed. Alec heard a sound coming from his own throat and then their mouths were fused with an emergency control. Magnus, Alec felt happy, really knew what he was doing. His lips were soft, and Alec excelled in experience, exploring his mouth: a symphony of lips, teeth, tongue, every waking moment feeling that he did not know you had.
Magnus found the waist with his fingers touching her bare skin, which had been avoiding looking so far, and slipped her hand under her shirt. Magnus stiffened in surprise, but then relaxed. Left to run their hands through the arms of Alec, for your chest, waist, finding Alec belt strips, and pulling them closer. His mouth left by Alec and Alec felt the warm pressure of his lips and throat, where the skin was so sensitive that seemed to be connected with the bones of their legs, which were about to faint. Just before falling to the ground, Magnus let go. His eyes shone and so did his mouth.
"Now I've been kissed," she said, passing behind him and opened the door. "See you on Friday?"
Alec cleared his throat. She felt dizzy, but also relieved. The blood ran in her veins like a Formula One car, all the colors seemed to glow. As I walked through the door, turned and looked at Magnus, who looked at him with grace. He stepped forward and pulled the witch to him. Magnus fell on him, and kissed Alec. Strong, fast, confusing, not practice, but with everything I had inside. Magnus brought closer to him, his own hand between the two, and felt his heart leap Magnus on his chest.
kiss stopped and turned away.
"Friday." said, and let Magnus leave. He turned and walked down the aisle, staring Magnus. El Brujo crossed his arms and settled the shirt where Alec had grabbed and shook his head, smiling.
"Lightwoods," Magnus said. "They have to have the last word."
closed the door behind him, and Alec ran down the stairs two by two, the blood pounding in his ears like music.


"do you think of this scene? I love Alec and Magnus! And now even more!

Scene Malec English

publishing scene Malec promised us the time it reached to 30,000 followers on Twitter. We started working on the translation, but for now we leave you in English: D


SPECIAL KISSED

It Was printed on thin paper, parchment Nearly, in a thin, elegant , spidery hand. It announced a gathering at the humble home of Magnus the Magnificent Warlock, and promised attendees “a rapturous evening of delights beyond your wildest imaginings.”  —City of Bones



Standing in the stairwell of Magnus’ home, Alec stared at the name written under the buzzer on the wall. BANE. The name didn’t really seem to suit Magnus, he thought, not now that he knew him. If you could really be said to know someone when you’d attended one of their parties, once, and then they’d saved your life later but hadn’t really hung around to be thanked. But the name Magnus Bane made him think of a towering sort of figure, with huge shoulders and formal purple warlock’s robes, calling down fire and lightning. Not Magnus himself, who was more of a cross between a panther and a demented elf.

Alec took a deep breath and let it out. Well, he’d come this far; he might as well go on. The bare lightbulb hanging overhead cast sweeping shadows as he reached forward and pressed the buzzer.

A moment later a voice echoed through the stairwell. “WHO CALLS UPON THE HIGH WARLOCK?”

“Er,” Alec said. “It’s me. I mean, Alec. Alec Lightwood.”

There was a sort of silence, as if even the hallway itself were surprised. Then a ping, and the second door opened, letting him out onto the stairwell. He headed up the rickety stairs into the darkness, which smelled like pizza and dust. The second floor landing was bright, the door at the far end open. Magnus Bane was leaning in the entryway.

Compared to the first time Alec has seen him, he looked fairly normal. His black hair still stood up in spikes, and he looked sleepy; his face, even with its cat’s eyes, very young. He wore a black t-shirt with the words ONE MILLION DOLLARS picked out across the chest in sequins, and jeans that hung low on his hips, low enough that Alec looked away, down at his own shoes. Which were boring.

“Alexander Lightwood,” said Magnus. He had just the faintest trace of an accent, something Alec couldn’t put his finger on, a lilt to his vowels. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”

Alec looked past Magnus. “Do you have — company?”

Magnus crossed his arms, which did good things for his biceps, and leaned against the side of the door. “Why do you want to know?”

“I was hoping I could come in and talk to you.”

“Hmmm.” Magnus’ eyes raked him up and down. They really did shine in the dark, like a cat’s. “Well, all right then.” He turned abruptly away and disappeared into the apartment; after a startled moment, Alec followed.

The loft looked different without a hundred churning bodies in it. It was — well, not ordinary, but the sort of space someone might live in. Like most lofts, it had a big central room split into “rooms” by groupings of furniture. There was a square collection of sofas and tables off to the right, which Magnus gestured Alec toward. Alec sat down on a gold velvet sofa with elegant wooden curlicues on the arms.

“Would you like some tea?” Magnus asked. He wasn’t sitting in a chair, but had sprawled himself on a tufted ottoman, his long legs stretched out in front of him.

Alec nodded. He felt incapable of saying anything. Anything interesting or intelligent, that was. It was always Jace who said the interesting, intelligent things. He was Jace’s parabatai and that was all the glory he needed or wanted: like being the dark star to someone else’s supernova. But this was somewhere Jace couldn’t go with him, something Jace couldn’t help him with. “Sure.”

His right hand felt suddenly hot. He looked down, and realized he was holding a waxed paper cup from Joe, the Art of Coffee. It smelled like chai. He jumped, and only barely escaped spilling on himself. “By the Angel —”

“I LOVE that expression,” said Magnus. “It’s so quaint.”

Alec stared at him. “Did you steal this tea?”

Magnus ignored the question. “So,” he said. “Why are you here?”

Alec took a gulp of the stolen tea. “I wanted to thank you,” he said, when he came up for air. “For saving my life.”

Magnus leaned back on his hands. His t-shirt rode up over his flat stomach, and this time Alec had nowhere else to look. “You wanted to thank me.”

“You saved my life,” Alec said, again. “But I was delirious, and I don’t think I really thanked you. I know you didn’t have to do it. So thank you.”

Magnus’ eyebrows had disappeared up into his hairline. “You’re . . .welcome?”

Alec set his tea down. “Maybe I should go.”

Magnus sat up. “After you came so far? All the way to Brooklyn? Just to thank me?” He was grinning. “Now that would be a wasted effort.” He reached out and put his hand to Alec’s cheek, his thumb brushing along the cheekbone. His touch felt like fire, training tendrils of sparks in its wake. Alec sat frozen in surprise — surprise at the gesture, and surprise at the effect it was having on him. Magnus’ eyes narrowed, and he dropped his hand. “Huh,” he said to himself.

“What?” Alec was suddenly very worried that he’d done something wrong. “What is it?”

“You’re just . . .” A shadow moved behind Magnus; with fluid agility, the warlock twisted around and picked up a small gray and white tabby cat from the floor. The cat curled into the crook of his arm and looked at Alec with suspicion. Now two pairs of gold-green eyes were trained on him darkly. “Not what I expected.”

“From a Shadowhunter?”

“From a Lightwood.”

“I didn’t realize you knew my family that well.”

“I’ve known your family for hundreds of years.” Magnus’ eyes searched his face. “Now your sister, she’s a Lightwood. You—’

“She said you liked me.”

“What?”

“Izzy. My sister. She told me you liked me.  Liked  me, liked me.”

Liked  you, liked you?” Magnus buried his grin in the cat’s fur. “Sorry. Are we twelve now? I don’t recall saying anything to Isabelle . . .”

“Jace said it too.” Alec was blunt; it was the only way he knew how to be. “That you liked me. That when he buzzed up here, you thought he was me and you were disappointed that it was him. That never happens.”

“Doesn’t it? Well, it should.”

Alec was startled. “No — I mean Jace, he’s . . . Jace.”

“He’s trouble,” said Magnus. “But you are totally without guile. Which in a Lightwood, is a conundrum. You’ve always been a plotting sort of family, like low-rent Borgias. But there isn’t a lie in your face. I get the feeling everything you say is straightforward.”

Alec leaned forward. “Do you want to go out with me?”

Magnus blinked. “See, that’s what I mean. Straightforward.”

Alec chewed his lip and said nothing.

“Why do you want to go out with me?” Magnus inquired. He was rubbing Chairman Meow’s head, his long fingers folding the cat’s ears down. “Not that I’m not highly desirable, but the way you asked, it seemed as if you were having some sort of fit —”

“I just do,” Alec said. “And I thought you liked me, so you’d say yes, and I could try — I mean, we could try —” He put his face in his hands. “Maybe this was a mistake.”

Magnus’ voice was gentle. “Does anyone know you’re gay?”

Alec’s head jerked up; he found he was breathing a little hard, as if he’d run a race. But what could he do, deny it? When he’d come here to do exactly the opposite? “Clary,” he said, hoarsely. “Which is . . . Which was an accident. And Izzy, but she’d never say anything.”

“Not your parents. Not Jace?”

Alec thought about Jace knowing, and pushed the thought away, hard and fast. “No. No, and I don’t want them to know, especially Jace.”

“I think you could tell him.” Magnus rubbed Chairman Meow under the chin. “He went to pieces like a jigsaw puzzle when he thought you were going to die. He cares —”

“I’d rather not.” Alec was still breathing quickly. He rubbed at the knees of his jeans with his fists. “I’ve never had a date,” he said in a low voice. “Never kissed anyone. Not ever. Izzy said you liked me and I thought —”

“I’m not unsympathetic. But do you  like  me? Because this being gay business doesn’t mean you can just throw yourself at any guy and it’ll be fine because he’s not a girl. There are still people you like and people you don’t.”

Alec thought of his bedroom back at the Institute, of being in a delirium of pain and poison when Magnus had come in. He had barely recognized him. He was fairly sure he’d been screaming for his parents, for Jace, for Izzy, but his voice would only come out on a whisper. He remembered Magnus’ hands on him, his fingers cool and gentle. He remembered the death-grip he’d kept on Magnus’ wrist, for hours and hours, even after the pain had passed and he knew he would be all right. He remembered watching Magnus’ face in the light of the rising sun, the gold of sunrise sparking gold out of his eyes, and thinking how oddly beautiful he was, with his cat’s gaze and grace.

“Yes,” Alec said. “I like you.”

He met Magnus’ gaze squarely. The warlock was looking at him with a sort of admixture of curiosity and affection and puzzlement. “It’s so odd,” Magnus said. “Genetics. Your eyes, that color —” He stopped and shook his head.

“The Lightwoods you knew didn’t have blue eyes?”

“Green-eyed monsters,” said Magnus, and grinned. He deposited Chairman Meow on the ground, and the cat moved over to Alec, and rubbed against his leg. “The Chairman likes you.”

“Is that good?”

“I never date anyone my cat doesn’t like,” Magnus said easily, and stood up. “So let’s say Friday night?”

A great wave of relief came over Alec. “Really? You want to go out with me?”

Magnus shook his head. “You have to stop playing hard to get, Alexander. It makes things difficult.” He grinned. He had a grin like Jace’s — not that they looked anything alike, but the sort of grin that lit up his whole face. “Come on, I’ll walk you out.”

Alec drifted after Magnus toward the front door, feeling as if a weight had been taken off his shoulders, one he hadn’t even known he was carrying. Of course he’d have to come up with an excuse for where he was going Friday night, something Jace wouldn’t want to participate in, something he’d need to do alone. Or he could pretend to be sick and sneak out. He was so lost in thought he almost banged into the front door, which Magnus was leaning against, looking at him through eyes narrowed to crescents.

“What is it?” Alec said.

“Never kissed anyone?” Magnus said. “No one at all?”

“No,” said Alec, hoping this didn’t disqualify him from being datable. “Not a real kiss —”

“Come here.” Magnus took him by the elbows and pulled him close. For a moment Alec was entirely disoriented by the feeling of being so close to someone else, to the kind of person he’d wanted to be close to for so long. Magnus was long and lean but not skinny; his body was hard, his arms lightly muscled but strong; he was an inch or so taller than Alec, which hardly ever happened, and they fit together perfectly. Magnus’ finger was under his chin, tilting his face up, and then they were kissing. Alec heard a small hitching gasp come from his own throat and then their mouths were pressed together with a sort of controlled urgency. Magnus, Alec thought dazedly, really knew what he was doing. His lips were soft, and he parted Alec’s expertly, exploring his mouth: a symphony of lips, teeth, tongue, every movement waking up a nerve ending Alec had never known he had.

He found Magnus’ waist with his fingers, touching the strip of bare skin he’d been trying to avoid looking at before, and slid his hands up under Magnus’ shirt. Magnus jerked with surprise, then relaxed, his hands running down Alec’s arms, over his chest, his waist, finding the belt loops on Alec’s jeans and using them to pull him closer. His mouth left Alec’s and Alec felt the hot pressure of his lips on his throat, where the skin was so sensitive that it seemed directly connected to the bones in his legs, which were about to give out. Just before he slid to the floor, Magnus let him go. His eyes were shining and so was his mouth.

“Now you’ve been kissed,” he said, reached behind him, and yanked the door open. “See you Friday?”

Alec cleared his throat. He felt dizzy, but he also felt alive — blood rushing through his veins like traffic at top speed, everything seemingly almost too brightly colored. As he stepped through the door, he turned and looked at Magnus, who was watching him bemusedly. He reached forward and took hold of the front of Magnus’ t-shirt and dragged the warlock toward him. Magnus stumbled against him, and Alec kissed him, hard and fast and messy and unpracticed, but with everything he had. He pulled Magnus against him, his own hand between them, and felt Magnus’ heart stutter in his chest.

He broke off the kiss, and drew back.

“Friday,” he said, and let Magnus go. He backed away, down the landing, Magnus looking after him. The warlock crossed his arms over his shirt — wrinkled where Alec had grabbed it — and shook his head, grinning.

“Lightwoods,” Magnus said. “They always have to have the last word.”

He shut the door behind him, and Alec ran down the steps, taking them two at a time, his blood still singing in his ears like music.
