"You're not really in love with me, it isn't real. I feel like I've stolen you from someone... extraordinary." I tell the man in front of me with tears blurring my vision which only makes them worse because I desp...

"Coffee?" I ask Alec from the bedroom doorway and his head peaks up from the back of the couch, standing in several directions like a black birds nest, he nods. Silently I pad through my apartment to the kitchen and start up the coffee machine.
We hadn't spoken about it much, he hadn't been in the mood when I picked him up but clearly it hadn't gone well so I insisted he stay over. In the state he was in I wanted to keep an eye on him even if I knew he'd be fine at home. Alec was the closest thing I had to a brother. While the machine does it's thing I scroll through the notifications on my phone, a couple from clary that bring a smile to my face and I quickly reply to, a couple from work but I didn't have to worry about those for another few hours and, oh lord, one from my mother.
Call me.
Just two words, as was her abrupt style. My father Stephen was as warm as Celine was cold yet despite that they seemed to really love each other. I didn't have enough energy to deal with her right now. I lock the screen and work on putting sugar and milk into our drinks and carry them through to the living room. Alec is sitting up now, his hair flattened down and a t-shirt pulled over his chest so that both of us are in a loose t-shirt and boxers. He takes the coffee without saying anything but moves along the couch so I can sit down.
I wrap my hands around my mug even if it's burning hot as the apartment had a slight chill to it this morning. It had been a cold night and I would've preferred to have been curled up with Clary during it but she understood when I told her that Alec needed me and that would come first above my own needs. I wait to see if he's going to bring it up but he gazes at the blue walls of my apartment like he's daydreaming about something even after I've cleared my throat and taken a drink.
"Talk to me Alec, what happened yesterday?" I ask him suddenly because I know that he'd rather keep it inside, I was the same in that respect, but it never did either of us any good. He closes his eyes, his dark lashes dusting against his pale cheeks and sighs very slightly.
"It's over Jace. He isn't ready to come out so I told him I can't do it anymore." He tells me and I don't know what to say. It was obvious that Alec cared a great deal about Magnus, he had said before that he might've been falling in love with him "I'm sorry Alec, I know how conflicted about the whole thing you've been so I'm sorry it had to end like that."
He lets out a sudden a dry laugh before turning to look at me. His eyes are a startling blue colour, like a cloudless sky as usual but there's a depth to them that isn't usually there like he's searching my face "What the hell have I done Jace?"
