🔞 Malec - which we missed from the TMI books

The night before Alicante

After Valentine's ship has burned down to the waterline and the war ended, the Clave has called all the active Shadowhunters to the city of Glass for a Council meeting. They have to vote on what to do about Valentine, who will be concentrate on the two other Mortal Instruments that were in Idris.

Alec was stressed and tired, he and his family needs to go to Alicante. Although everything was messed up, Jace and his mom finally made up, the Lightwood family became whole again. One thing bothered Alec, it was him, the high warlock of Brooklyn, Magnus Bane.
He saved Alec from drowning, he thought maybe he will forigive him or at least they could fix their 'thing' but no. The Nephilm boy tried to call him hundreds of times, the warlock avoided the calls. Alec decided to go to Magnus' loft. Tomorrow morning they will leave to Idris, they have to discuss their relationship.

He finished training, went under the shower, and hoped Magnus will not send him away. Still was not sure about this whole being gay thing, or he was, just affraid to show his feelings. Dressed up, and went outside.

'Alec..!' he turned around Izzy was right behind him 'Where are you going?'

'Uhm..' he was thinking, what should say ' Uhm.. for a walk..'

'Convincing big brother' said Izzy with starry eyes 'Very convincing, so are you visinting our warlock?'

'Hush!' switched to a quieter tone 'I dont want anyone to hear Izz!'

'Are you, aren't you?' she was almost jumping.

'Stooop' bowed his head so his face was hidden 'I.. I.. I just wanna talk with him. I was actually very rude to him..'

'Magnus will appreciate it!' slap playfully on his borther's back. 'But don't forget to come back in time, tomorrow we are leaving!' Alec nodded while turning to the door.

The closer he got, the more nervous he become. What if Magnus won't be home, or he will, he just will not want to talk. His stomach started to hurt, and his body trembled, shivered less from the cold than from nerves.
He arrived to the Magnus' apartment, and waited few minutes before go upstairs, his knees almost giving out from under him. Took a deep breath, went straight up on the stairs, his heart beating so fast it was about to burst, he let out an explosive breath and knocked on the door.

He was waiting, nothing happened yet, his ears were ringing from anxietly. He'd better wait a few breaths and let everything settle down in there before knocking again. His hand in the air trembled, before he touched the door with his knuckles again, it opened. Noone was standing in the doorway, the warlock magicly opened it. Alec entered shyly.

'Magnus?' peeking the room 'Are you here?'

'Hm..' he glimpsed the half naked tanned warlock. He looked like a Greek God. His perfect skin gleamed in the sunlight, Alec's mouth remained open.

'What did I do to deserve the honor of your presence, Shadowhunter?' asked Magnus harshly. These words pushed him back to reality.

'Wow, that was really formal!' said facetiously. The warlock's mouth didn't curl, so he continued, taking the words seriously.

'I.. I..' he stuttered 'I, Magnus I came here to talk..' his voice was really soft and sounded broken.

'Than talk..' he sat down on the couch, legs crossed, and looked at him half curiously half angry.

'First of all, thank you for saving my life.. I couldn't have survived without you!' he looked into Magnus' stunning cat eyes. He was starring at him. 'Second, I'm a complete fool, Magnus.' he waited a few seconds to see if the other boy spoke, but he did not. 'I know I can be pretty rude sometimes, you deserve way better than me!'
