Magnus was glad he got out of his old town. He had hated it for the long 18 years he had spent there from birth till the time he left for college. The second he set a foot out of it he swore on every thing he had and loved that he would never look back. Coming from a broken house where his mother committed suicide when he told here he was bisexual and where his father beat him for the remainder of the years he stayed with him he had nothing to look back on. He was finally free and he made that known.

He made a name for him self while he was in college when his first book went viral. After that he was a public icon realising a book a year and becoming a spokes person for the lgbtq+ community. He was happy and comfortable but then his long term girlfriend left him and he got struck with a bad writers block. For three years he couldn't write a single word and the world moved on to the next big thing leaving magnus bane behind.

He had enough money to have a comfortable life but magnus being magnus did what ever he could to cure his writers block. That was when he got the phone call his father had passed away and being the only bane left magnus was getting the house he grew up and despised. Having nothing else to do magnus decided to visit his home town to see if that may be helped with his inability to write.

Deciding to make the most of his trip he drove all the way there. When he finally arrived to the house he grew up it he was bombarded to bad memory after bad memory. Making his mind up to sell the property after making sure every thing worked properly he took a deep breath and made his way inside.

That evening while he was trying to fix the broken widow on the second floor he heard something out side and took a peak. His neighbor was pilling fire wood to chop. As soon as he had enough wood he took of his shirt reveling a muscular top. Magnus dropped the screw driver in his hand and leaned against window. With every swing of his axe magnus's pants got tighter and his breath shallower.

Just then something that hasn't happened in years happened. Magnus's mind started swimming with words describing the beauty before him. Running like the devil him self was chasing him magnus grabbed his laptop and spent the rest of his afternoon writing about the tall dark and handsome Adonis.

The next morning magnus woke up on the floor where he had been writing all night when the door bell rang. He got up putting his laptop on the stack of boxes near by and went to open the door not paying mind to being shirtless.

He opened the door to his neighbor standing there with a dish in his hand looking sheepish.

"Hey...I'm Alec" the man said before his eyes met with magnus's. Magnus tried not to smirk when he heard him gulp loudly while his eyes drank in his exposed top.

"I'm magnus. Its nice to meet you Alexander." Magnus purred unable to help himself

"Oh...um...Izzy though we should give you a house warming present...we're half an hour away from any markets so she made me make you this since she would burn down the kitchen if she tried" alec said making magnus laugh. Alec turned scarlet.

"I just said way too much right?" Alec said rubbing the back of his neck.

" its quite alright dear. I would ask you to come in but the place is a mess. I'm packing up" magnus said fighting to stop him self from smirking at the blushing man before him.

"Packing?" Alec asked confused

"Yes I'm planning to sell the place. I don't have many happy memories inside this walls and I'm not sure I can face the bad ones for long" magnus said a sad and distant look coming over his features

"Um...maybe you'd like to come over to our place tonight. Jace is coming over with his wife and Izzy is planning on having a BBQ...you could have fun?" Alec asked softly

" Izzy is...?" Magnus asked

"My sister" Alec replied

"Then I would actually like that very much Darling thank you for the invite." Magnus said a soft smile playing on his lips and a mischievous light burning in his eyes making alec squirm.

"Okay then...um see you tomorrow..." Alec said and turned to leave on the last step of the porch remembered he hadn't given magnus the dish he made so he shoved it in his hand and almost ran back to his own house leaving magnus on his door smirking.
