So guys I've decided that waiting until Sunday is just far too long especially for how I started this so I'm going to just update this as soon as I can within the week but we just started a new tri so I will do my best. Also I will be switching perspectives so just keep that in mind.

Magnus Pov

Oh he's just so cute I thought to myself from my perch. The party was in full swing at this point but my focus was completely on Black Hair Blue Eyes. He looked a little lost. Aww is the poor little shadowhunter feeling uncomfortable? Who knew Lightworms could be so adorable?

He seemed to wander towards the food table only to be greeted by tons of vampires laughing loudly. They all seemed to give him the stare. He got the message. I can't watch this any longer. I thought as I descended on my prey.

"You seem a bit lost" I said just barely loud enough to be heard. I wanted to hold my aura of mystery as long as I could. It was my greatest feature.

"Oh! Um I-I was just looking for some water..." he replied back loudly, shuffling his feet.

"Not much of a drinker I see. We can go to my kitchen if you like"

"Wouldn't that be rude?" his eyes widened and his face went scarlet. I almost kissed him right there.

"Why would that be rude?" I couldn't help but laugh in my response. He was just so shy and small but I could definitely see muscle underneath that sweater of his. Maybe I'd just have to take it off to check.

"I mean you've already laid out food and stuff... I feel like I'm intruding..."

"Not at all" he replied with one of my knock out smiles as I offered my hand to him. It was a long shot. I wasn't sure he would take it until a felt strong callused hand slip into my long soft one. He looked up at me with those big blue eyes and I was lost. I wish I could pull him away and kiss him till he was purple but I just turned and lead him to the kitchen.

People pushed and shoved and jumped all around us but I kept a firm grip on this boy. No vampire was stealing him from me now. He was too cute for that. Through the booming laughter and chatting we came through to the kitchen which was deserted. Blue Eyes looked relieved to be away from the people.

"Water?" I inquired grabbing a cup and began to fill it when he nodded. He gulped it thankfully as I hopped on to the counter next to him.

He suddenly blushed and stared at me wide eyed. I couldn't help but grin at him. "What?"

"I'm sorry. But I don't even know your name..." he muttered lamely.

"Magnus. Magnus Bane" I smiled offering my hand to him. Really I just wanted an excuse to hold his hand again.

"Alec... Lightwood! Or like Alexander b-but I go by Alec..."

So Blue Eyes has a name. Alexander Lightwood. It was perfect for him. Strong even though he gave off the perception that he was weak. I could see in his eyes that he could kill me where I sat if I ticked him off.

"Alexander..." I barely breathed not realizing that I was speaking. "I like it."

"It's... Alec..."

"Alexander has more weight to it, more meaning. If you don't mind I'll call you that."

"... Sure..."

I flashed a smile and leaned back tucking my hands behind my head as I watched him.

"Can I ask you something?" he blurted out after a minute of silent.
