Chapter Text
Alec has heard rumours about the magical bottle, in which lived the all mighty genie - he had heard the powers that he possessed and he got curious because he, too, wanted to get his hands on it. The thing was; he was desperate and he really wanted to impress someone. And he was going to need all the magic he could get. He heard about how the genie would make three of your wishes come true and the one to summon him, was going to be his master. Alec wasn’t really the master material, but he really needed their help. There was this prince that got his attention - the one that resided in the next kingdom and Alec really wanted for him to notice him. Just like Neil, Alec was a Prince as well, but the other wouldn’t notice him, no matter what.
Alec tried gifts, he tried showering him with all different kind of attention, but nothing seemed to work, which was such a shame because Alec couldn’t help himself. The prince from the neighbour Kingdom was everything and he was going to get his attention to matter what, so he decided to find this genie in the bottle even if that was the last thing that he was going to do. Much to his luck, after ten days of travel, he finally managed to get to the place where it was said that he’d find the bottle with the genie. Upon fighting a whole army of demons, the bottle was finally Alec’s and he just ran away as quickly as he could from there and after he was finally in the safety, he decided to summon the genie.
One would ask if Prince Neil was really worth all of this - the struggle and the pain Alec went through to get to the genie, but to Alec he was worth it. Maybe he was a masochist, but he really couldn’t help himself. Once he fell in love, he was just… nothing would stop him and he was really focused on this even if Neil seemed kind of cold when it came to him. In Alec’s opinion, that was just a mask, because he just knew that the man had to be kind deep down inside. He had seen his good side and that was what left Alec completely in awe. So, he was working hard to gain his attention, but it was just… hell. He just hoped that after gaining some magical powers that Neil would finally see that he was worthy of him.
‘’Okay, Mister Genie, can you come out already because I don’t have the whole day for this,’’ said Alec and started turning the magical bottle around in his hand and many things didn’t make sense. Maybe he had gotten the wrong one? This one didn’t look like a magical bottle at all, but then again, maybe that was exactly what they wanted him to think. Alec was just shaking the bottle, trying to get the genie come out of it, but no matter how hard he was shaking and how much he was begging, the genie didn’t seem to budge. ‘’Ah, must have gotten the wrong one,’’ whined Alec and then shook his head. ‘’Or maybe the bottle is broken,’’ he commented and then glared at the bottle.
The bottle was shiny and gold; but it was empty. It wasn’t closed per say and Alec decided to take a peek inside. He closed his one eye and then decided to see what was on the inside, but all that he could see was darkness - just as he expected and he rolled his eyes. It was the wrong bottle after all. Ugh, there wasn’t much that he could do about it now, but it was really a shame, as he was so close to getting his hands on it. So close, yet so far and he just crossed his arms on top of his chest. ‘’Ugh, it’s just an old empty bottle,’’ he said and then threw it on the side. Yep, he hated everything and he just wrinkled his nose. He didn’t even want to go back home because everything sucked and he continued sulking for quite a while.
Alec was so busy with throwing himself a pity party that he didn’t see the bottle lighting up. The bottle wasn’t empty at all and it wasn’t the wrong one - Alec did find the right one, the genie just wasn’t in the mood to be bothered that day. The genie could feel someone getting their dirty paws on his precious home and he was already rolling his eyes - he happened to like his home quite a bit and he didn’t like being summoned to the outside. On one hand, it wasn’t all as peachy as it sounded because he was captured in his own home - he was only free to move around once a master would summon him. But on the other hand, he prefered it on the inside as he was so sick and tired of humans - all they did was take advantage of him. No one really cared about him and they were just after his magic. So, Magnus - the genie - wasn’t amused at all after he felt that someone wanted to summon him again. He decided to ignore them, even if it did go against the rules, but… the idiot was kind of annoying and really hard to ignore.
Magnus didn’t appreciate all of the shaking that was going on - all of his precious things ended up falling all over the floor and he had just redecorated not a long time ago. He was just rolling his eyes and he almost snapped, but that was just what the other wanted him to do, wasn’t it? They he saw a huge eyeball gazing inside and he… he was astonished. Not only that this person was annoying, they were also a creep - that was such an invasion of privacy, but luckily, they couldn’t see anything. Upon being thrown on the floor and having all of his stuff broken and shattered - that was when Magnus couldn’t hold back anymore and he was going to scold the other one. His new master was a dick and he wasn’t going to hold back this time. Oh, no, Magnus had it enough.
Because no one messed with him - he was Magnus Bane after all! He wasn’t just a genie, he was the genie, one of the oldest ones alive and everyone bowed down to him. So he wasn’t going to allow some pesky human to treat him like that. Magnus was going to show them who was boss and he couldn’t wait - maybe after he would scare them away, they wouldn’t continue bothering him and he would have peace and quiet again. He was angrily cursing under his breath as he was slowly coming out of his safety zone, making himself much bigger and larger than he usually was - he really wanted to scare the idiot away because they didn’t deserve his services upon mistreating his precious home like that!
‘’How dare you should be disrespect like this, human? ’’ grumbled Magnus and Alec was catapulted onto his legs upon hearing a voice and then a roar. He couldn’t tell from where it was coming, but then he turned around and his jaw dropped when he saw that the bottle was shining, illuminated with a strong light and he started walking backwards after there started spreading smoke from inside of the bottle. Oh, okay he was so wrong about this bottle. It was pretty much clear to him then that it wasn’t as empty as he thought and he could tell that he angered the all mighty genie - after all, he had just thrown the bottle on the floor and he shuddered.
Alec didn’t know what was going to happen to him, but he knew that he needed to get the hell out from there because it wasn’t going to end up good. He had heard the stories about genies and even though one could easily become a master of one, it still didn’t mean that they would completely obey a human and he swallowed thickly. He wanted to run away, but then he tripped over his feet and ended up falling on his ass, whing out in pain and he couldn’t move after that because something else came out of the bottle and he was just petrified and he couldn’t move. He was too scared to even make a sound because suddenly, there stood a giant in front of him, covered in smoke and Alec swallowed thickly. Okay, that was the end for him.
Magnus was laughing when he saw the poor human trying to run away and when he finally saw who he was dealing with, the human completely froze. He fell onto his ass and Magnus started laughing loudly because… this was a good reaction. He was scared and it was just the matter of time before he would stand up, run away and never come back and that was something that Magnus was aiming for. However, little did he know that he found his match, actually. Even if Alec was scared as hell, it frankly pissed him off to see the genie laughing at him. He couldn’t even see him that well because he was too much of a giant, but Alec just crossed his arms on top of his chest and rolled his eyes. ‘’It’s rude to laugh at someone who had just fallen over - have you no manners?’’ managed to stutter Alec out and Magnus’ jaw dropped because that wasn’t the reaction he was hoping to get. Despite being a little bit taken aback, Magnus wasn’t backing away either.
‘’Do you even know who you’re speaking to, boy?’’ asked Magnus and then leaned down a little bit because he wanted to see who he was speaking to and after he finally saw Alec up close a bit better, his eyes widened and then he blinked a few times. It wasn’t just a boy, it was a pretty boy! Now, that was quite the interesting turn of events and he wished that he didn’t overreact, clearing his throat and he was soon in his human form, just a bit shorter than the other, who was still sitting on the floor and Magnus laughed gently. If he knew that his master was hot, he’d be kinder! ‘’My apologies, I didn’t know my new master is hot,’’ he said and Alec’s cheeks reddened because… he could kind of say the same and he just needed a little while to wrap his head around everything.
The genie was no longer a giant and in fact, it was a young man. He was dressed in long golden trousers, paired up with a vest and nothing underneath. He had quite the nice body and Alec needed a little while before he managed to tear his eyes away from that wonderful sight. The thing was - Alec came from a very traditional and rigid family. Not that his values were as traditional as theirs, but he still… wasn’t very used to seeing a half naked man in front of him and he was just… drooling. And he didn’t even know it, but the genie seemed to notice the young man’s thirst and he giggled softly, turned his head to the side and then sighed. Okay, he was going to have zero problems serving this human. Magnus just hoped that he wasn’t a lowlife like the others and he smiled slyly.
‘’Greetings, master,’’ said Magnus and Alec flushed after he heard that - he didn’t like being called a master. Plus, it was just too embarrassing coming from such an attractive young man and he just looked down. ‘’My name is Magnus Bane, I am the genie from the realm of Edom,’’ he said, introducing himself eagerly and Alec just nodded even though he had no clue what the hell Edom was. Gulping down, he just clasped his hands together and continued listening to Magnus’ rambling. ‘’For you have summoned me, so I’m under your control and I’m here to grant three of your wishes, whatever your heart desires, master, I’ll make sure to-’’
‘’Can you please not call me that?’’ asked Alec and interrupted Magnus.
‘’Call you what?’’
‘’Master, I don’t like it,’’ said Alec and shuddered.
Magnus was perplexed - then how should he call his new master? Humans usually insisted on being called master , but then there were the ones that were a bit more needy and Magnus rolled his eyes. Oh, so he was one of those? ‘’Then, how about your majesty?’’ asked Magnus without too much amusement in his voice and Alec’s jaw dropped - did he really appear to be such an arrogant prick? Alec was outraged and just really-
‘’Do I really look like someone that likes to be called like that?’’ asked Alec and Magnus arched a brow, but then shrugged. It seemed not, but then again he still didn’t know how to call the human. Going by human would be kind of too rude, wouldn’t it? And he didn’t know his name, but then again humans didn’t like being called by their name by him usually. Magnus was so confused - humans were usually a lot more-
‘’Then how should I call you? By your name?’’ asked Magnus, making a joke, but Alec nodded and Magnus’ jaw dropped.
‘’Um, yes?’’ asked Alec and snorted. ‘’How else should you call me then? Just call me Alec, you don’t need to add any honorifics, just Alec is okay, please ,’’ said Alec because he was kind of sick of the whole honorifics. Yes, he was a prince, but did everyone just have to point it out? He didn’t like it too much and he just shrugged. Magnus, on the other hand, was in awe because he had never met a human just like Alec over there before and he was impressed - he was surprised in a very good way. So, good looking and not arrogant? Oh, what a perfect jackpot for him! Magnus didn’t really search out for mates, but this could be interesting!
‘’So, just Alec,’’ said Magnus and Alec smiled softly. ‘’Have any special reasons for summoning little old me?’’ he asked and winked to him. Alec flushed a little bit, but then he was quickly reminded of Neil and he just nodded.
‘’Right!’’ said Alec.
‘’Do you need money?’’
‘’Ugh, not really, money sucks.’’
‘’I agree,’’ said Magnus and then walked closer. ‘’Then is it perhaps… you’re craving for something?’’ he asked and Alec nodded because yes, he did crave for one certain prince and Magnus chuckled. ‘’Is it more of a physical nature, because I can help out and you wouldn’t even have to use a wish for-’’ he started flirting away, but Alec wasn’t listening anymore.
‘’Yes, there’s this Prince that I really like, but he doesn’t notice no matter how much I try to get his attention. I’ve tried showering him with many different gifts and-’’ he started, but Magnus shrieked. Alec was taken - he was fucking taken, of course he was! It just wasn’t fair! Magnus wanted to sulk a little bit, but then he decided to be professional - as much as he wanted Alec, he decided to let it go for now and see what he could do to make Alec’s three wishes come true.
‘’Kind of stupid to be using your precious wishes on someone that doesn’t notice how gorgeous you are, but whatever,’’ mumbled Magnus and then sighed sadly. Alec didn’t heart him luckily and then he just clicked with his tongue. ‘’I mean - I’ll try my best,’’ said Magnus and then handed his hand to Alec, who took it and just like that, their deal was made. Alec got his three wishes and he was already happily grinning because Neil was going to be his! Alec hugged Magnus and then spun them around a few times.
‘’Thank you, thank you, thank you!’’ was chanting Alec. ‘’You’re the best, Magnus! Oh, I can’t wait!’’ said Alec and Magnus nodded and then smiled. Fine. It was going to be okay, just another deal. At least Alec was good looking and wasn’t a dick like the other people who summoned him before him. The deal was soon going to be over and then… his peace should be restored!
