Author's Note :: Hi everyone, this will be my first TMI Malec fic so I'm nervous if anyone would like this. Please give it a try, it might look boring but it'll get interesting in the future, hopefully. I do hope this somewhat would capture your attention. Other than that, Happy Reading!

Books sprawled messily on the floor, papers strewn everywhere, video games cases as well as DVDs scattered in front of a flat screen LCD TV plastered on the wall, several book cases adorned the sides of the room, beside the windows that are clamped shut and heavy curtains draped on them. The room's a real mess. The owner of this chaotic room is sleeping on his large study desk, a big ancient looking hard bounded book, unintentionally as the night light is still open. His glasses are askew, sweater crumpled and jogging pants that looks so worn and almost thread bare. A black mop of hair covered his closed eyes, ivory colored skin hidden by the monotonous and geeky outfit.

The door suddenly slammed open as an obnoxious voice rang across the said room.

"Alec! Wake up you sleepy head! It's time for breakfast!" Jace , his brother, called out. He cringed and grimaced at Alec's room as he scans the whole room over. "By the Angel Alec! Clean your room! It looks like a hurricane passed by and wrecked the whole place over!" He exclaimed, going inside his brother's room.

Alec stirred, grumbling, but did not wake up. He's still too busy sleeping. Jace sighed as he made his way to Alec, careful not to step on anything with made it hard to since they're all scattered everywhere. He grabbed Alec's shoulders and shook him violently, like his whole life depends on it. It hadn't have that much of an effect so Jace resorted on yelling at Alec's ear, which worked as Alec's eyes opened immediately and he sat up straight. Jace chortled with stopped laughter as Alec glared at him tiredly but he didn't look menacing because of his askew glasses and terrible bed head which made his hair stand up in different directions.

"Can't you just knock?" Alec asked irritably after Jace had finished laughing. "Goodness, I thought the world's about to end!" He said, removing his glasses and rubbing his eyes.

Jace rolled his eyes and grinned. "Been there, done that, besides, you wouldn't wake no matter how hard I try." He replied. Alec just gave him a look and stood up, putting his glasses back on and smoothening his crumpled sweater.

"Oh, by the way, breakfast's ready. It's been delivered earlier by some food delivery guy so Izzy won't have to cook, all thanks to me of course, and she said that she has a surprise for you. Better run bro!" Jace teased him as he walked towards the door and left.

Alec sighed as he went down; towards to his awaiting doom that probably sounds like shopping for absurd outfits and outrageous clothes.

He had been right. The moment he stepped inside the dining room, Isabelle started talking about taking him to the mall and he can't argue because 'mom told me so'. Seriously, he thinks that she just persuaded their mother because she can't stand his perfectly normal and comfortable clothes that looked like trash bags to her and their mother, sadly. So here he is, shopping for new clothes and Isabelle picking it out for them.

"How about this one? Try it on!" Isabelle said as she showed him a pair of black skinny jeans. Alec cringed.

"No skinny jeans Izzy! I'm perfectly fine with my pants." He said, pointing to his thread bare pants. Isabelle made a face and returned it to the clothing rack. She disappeared from the racks of clothing, leaving Alec behind, waiting on a white colored bench. Alec pulled out his phone and started playing Subway Surfers when someone spoke to him. A voice that he knew very well and hates it will all of his heart.

"Oh, look, Alexander's here. What a pleasant surprise."

Alec looked up and glared at him, face contorted with annoyance and hatred.

"Bane," he acknowledges him, spitting the name like a deadly venom. "What brings you here?"

"Lightwood. " Magnus said, amused. "Nothing much. Just shopping for clothes, are you the same as well?" He asked, sitting beside him. Alec scooted farther from him, keeping his distance. He does not like this guy. Always been ever since they were children.

He and Magnus are very different. Magnus likes dressing up and parties, Alec likes solitude and books. Magnus' bubbly, energetic, outgoing and friendly whilst Alec's mature for his age, serious, anti-social and an introvert. Both of them argue with each other the moment they meet. Like cats and dogs. And Magnus literally burned down his favorite book! That action he'll never forget and forgive him.

Magnus Bane is his self-proclaimed mortal enemy.

"Perhaps, though, it's not your business now, is it?" Alec snapped. Magnus frowned a bit and shrugged.

"Guess you're right. It's also not your business as to why I'm here as well, right?" Magnus said smugly. He smirked at Alec and Alec needs to calm down and not strangle the man harshly. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to calm down.

That is why he's grateful for his sister interference when she came back holding 10 pairs of different colored jeans that are not skinny, plain colored polo shirts and a navy blue sweater.

"Oh! Mags! You're here!" Isabelle said happily as she dumped the clothes on her brother. Magnus grinned and stood up to hug Isabelle.

"Why hello darling." He purred, kissing Isabelle cheek to cheek. "I see you're shopping for your dearest brother. Love your tastes, Izzy." He complimented her.

Isabelle beamed. "Of course! Alec has no fashion sense so it's up to me to make his world more colorful!" She said proudly. Then she turned to her brother. "Alec, try that on. I picked out the clothes that you would like and suit you and kept my promise to not put something 'outrageous or absurd' as you call it." She said, making quote unquote signs in the air using her middle and index fingers together.

Alec just nodded and left, making his way to the dressing room and hastily tried on the outfits Isabelle had picked out for him. The faster he is done fitting the clothes, the faster he could get out of here and roam around the mall without Isabelle or Magnus accompanying him.

"Good Lord, this is so annoying." Alec muttered as he finished fitting the clothes. He had slid off his eye glasses just the process so that it'll be easier to put on the clothes on him. He put on his glasses and his normal clothes after he's done, quickening his pace to reach Isabelle and tell her all of it fits him and ask if he could go now . Isabelle just nod and gave him the signal to go, and went back on chattering with Magnus. He went to the cashier hastily and paid for the clothes and went out of the store and happily walked to his first destination.

Fully Booked, the usual bookstore he always goes to whenever he's out the mall. Entering the shop, he quickly went to the manga section and checked it out. After picking out the manga he liked, he went to another section next and did the same until he walked out of the store with loads of book and clothes on his arms. He smiled happily as he made his way to Comic Alley.

This will be an awesome day for him.
