Chapter Text
Alec Lightwood, a strong individual and a handsome one at that was being forced, yes forced to attend a dance class by his parents Maryse and Robert. They thought it would be a good idea for him to learn the ways of dance in order for his coordination and strength to improve. Fighting demons meant he needed to be extremely fit. What he didn’t realise was that he’d meet a certain someone who was likely to change his opinion on everything around him.
“Do I really have to do this?” Alec said, pulling a face at his parabatai Jace as he tugged at his rather uncomfortable tight tights. They curved around his ass and every other detail he’d rather have covered. He was wearing a black tank top that did nothing for the obviously toned muscles on his arms and chest but whereas Jace would have been flaunting, Alec was slightly cowering.
“Relax man, you look hot...no homo” Jace laughed, slapping him on the back. He was wearing skinny black jeans and a grey hoodie with a charming smirk on his face at all the ladies in their leotards.
“This isn’t funny! “ Alec snapped, they were in the corridor of the dance academy waiting for his name to be called. He was having an audition, well a private dance lesson by one of the best dancers according to his parents but Alec wasn’t bothered. He only cared about getting out of these hideous tights and away from the giggling laughter coming from the many young girls walking past them. He could only roll his eyes at Jace the flirt.
He was about to say something else when his name was called, “Alec Lightwood” His eyes widened as he glanced at Jace who only shrugged. Much help there Alec thought before he pushed open the door and walked in.
What Alec had been expecting was a rather good looking women but what actually stood at the front of the room was a tall man, well not much taller than himself but still. He had black hair with what looked like gold glitter in his hair. If Alec thought that was weird what happened next was much weirder. The man turned around and Alec’s mouth dropped open in shock.

Magnus had been teaching all day and to say he was tired was very much an understatement. He had just been about to finish for the day when he’d checked his calendar and realised he had one other person to teach. Alec Lightwood. Magnus had been allied with the Lightwoods for a very long time, to say friends would be going too far. He owed them and they owed him so he had agreed to teach their son. He didn’t know what he looked like as he called him into the room. He felt straight away the nervous energy coming from the younger male and could only grin. He could also tell that the strange male was also checking him out. Perhaps he batted for both teams but what his parents had told him, Alec’s was straight.
Magnus turned around and couldn’t help himself but smirk. His eyes glinted in the light as he looked the startled open-mouthed boy in front of him before snapping out of his sudden gaze, “Like what you see?” he laughed.
Alec’s eyes widened and a blush started to rise in his cheeks, “I...er..what?” he stuttered which only made Magnus laugh harder. He knew he was a warlock with those amazing yellow and gold cat-like eyes that had trapped him the moment he turned around.
Magnus wore skinny jeans much like what Jace had been wearing apart from the obvious gold glitter running down the outside of the legs. He wore nothing on his feet for dancing and a glittering sequin shirt. All of his clothes had been planned well that they brought out the gold in his eyes and it had stolen the breath out of Alec. “I hear you’re wanting to learn to dance?” The warlock asked as he circled Alec taking him in.
“I...um...it was actually my parent's idea” he managed to get out. Goosebumps rising on his arms as he felt the breath of Magnus against his neck from behind. He wanted to move, to turn around but he seemed rooted on the spot. What was it about this man that had him all sweaty and nervous.
“I see...you ever danced before?” he asked as he moved on to stand in front of him again. “Anyone ever mentioned what beautiful coloured eyes you have?” he breathed out still with his charming smile in place.
“No...I..um what?” he looked stunned unsure what was happening. He felt like his head was swimming and that he needed air. He didn’t dare move. He felt like an animal and he was the meat.
Magnus just laughed “How about we start with the basics?” He didn’t wait for Alec to answer only flicked his wrist until there was music, classical music playing in the room. He turned back around and made a beeline straight for the Lightwood.
He towered over him a little as he grabbed a hold of Alec’s hand and placed his other upon the youngers hips. “Now follow me, you step back, I step forward, “ he told him, “ one and two and three” he repeated as they moved on the wooden floor. Their eyes locked.
Alec’s hands were sweating badly as he tried to keep up with the Warlock while keeping eye contact. It happened like that for awhile. The odd “ow” coming from Magnus after Alec stepped on his foot and the occasional apology from Alec. Time passed quickly and it was only when the music stopped did Alec realise that they were almost touching. What he did next just made him feel terrible. He pushed Magnus and ran.
He didn’t stop once he got out of the classroom, not even for Jace who had got up off the floor so quick he was surprised he hadn’t fallen over. Jace kept shouting his name but Alec didn’t stop until he was outdoors and breathing fresh air again.
“What the hell was that Alec?!” Jace snapped grabbing Alec’s shoulders and staring at him with a look of worry in his eyes. He found himself wanting it to be Magnus and not Jace staring at him with that worried look.
“I...sorry I just needed some air. It went great can we go now?”
Jace just nodded, he knew not to pester him for answers. If Alec wanted to talk he would. He was always there for his parabatai no matter what.

Magnus had thought everything was going fine. He could tell Alec had a thing for him just like everybody else but only this time he felt the same thing. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d felt a spark between anyone until now. He thought everything was going fine until Alec had shoved him and ran off. He didn’t know if he would even be turning up tomorrow. They were scheduled for a whole week. He could make it like a challenge he thought. Torture the poor boy until he couldn’t take it anymore and either give in to the feeling or never come back. He hoped for the first option. Picking up his belongings he left the classroom, turning the light off with a click of his fingers and a puff of blue magic. Heading down the main corridor and nodding with an occasional wave of the students who made an effort to greet him. They were mainly those that had a crush on him. Insignificant things or so he thought until he met Alec. Shaking his head to remove any thoughts of that boy as he left the building and walked a few streets. He could have ported but that would have been an effort. Reaching his apartment on the corner of many streets, he unlocked his door and stepped in. He was immediately greeted by his two cats church and chairman meow. Smiling as he drops his bag at the door and bends down to pick up his two loveable cats who were now purring. Walking further into the apartment he takes off his shoes and throws himself onto the messy bed where he falls asleep with his two cats thinking of the blue eyed boy and hoping that he turned up tomorrow.
