Before my days are gone

We are eternal part dos

◇◆◇Magnus POV◆◇◆

"Well that was actually part of why I invited you over. I've only ever kissed one other guy and that was the kiss of life because without him, the Herondale family would be no more. Which would not be such a big tragedy but I like Jake. I did once have a wife but I hated her to Pluto and back. Can you forgive me now?" I said, pleading with Alec.
He smiled and exhaled in one moment.
"I have a few things to say to that.
1-it's Jace not Jake
2-I will forgive you
3-I have something to tell you too.
When I was fifteen, I came out to my parents. I couldn't do it in english so I did it in mandarin instead. My mom and siblings were okay with it but my dad killed himself. He would rather die than support me. I'm now living with my stepsister and my aunt. Obviously they live next door and also I found out that one of the students from the posh school down the road is going to become a father soon. I'm really scared Magnus.  How did you get past all the bullying?" He gabbled. He was obviously desperate so i toyed with him.
"Well, I couldn't care less what your dick parents think. You are beautiful and smart and funny and attractive. Heck you even speak fucking mandarin of all the languages. They aren't worth a speck of glitter.
I got over the bullying by telling myself that they were jealous of my fabulous glittery self, they aren't worthy of your attention. If they are bullying you, they make themselves lower than you. Treat them like peasants." I complimented him before giving away my favorite life advice. I then reached my hand across the table to capture his. I brought it to my lips and  pecked it. He then blushed cutely and did the same to my hand.
"Well, thanks" he got up to encounter chairman meow and sit straight back down. "Magnus...... why is there a cat here?"
Huh, I guess he doesn't like cats. Just then, my ears picked up a creak in the front room.
"There's someone in my house. Why is there someone in my house? I didn't invite them here." I said angrily.
I saw Alec look at me,puzzled and I realised that he'd asked me a question. I felt guilty but I wanted to know who was in my house more.
Slowly, we crept towards the front room. A voice started floating through to us.
"Yes Simon I love you but I'm busy picking up groceries at the moment. Yes at ten thirty in the evening.Jace and Clary are arguing again aren't they? I'll be there soon."
"Alec hissed through his teeth and ran round the corner.
I followed him, worried and saw him holding a dark eyed girl by her hair. "Izzy, why? I just wanted one night alone with my boyfr--male friend. Why did you have to come and ruin it for me? I lov--like this man very much."
"I'm sorry. I guess that I was extremely jealous that even though we're married, Simon doesn't do romantic stuff. I just wanted to see what real romance is supposed to look like." She whispered, looking a lot like a disgraced child.
I could tell the situation was a little tense so I broke it by running back to the table, grabbing a butter knife and waved it in the air in front of bae and 'Izzy'.
"I've always wanted to cut the tension with a butter knife. Now I have, I'm happy." I panted.
It worked. They both dissolved into fits of giggles.
I wasn't paying attention to 'Izzy',so when she snuck off to my kitchen, I didn't see. I was paying more attention to the adorable little snickers emanating from Alexander's mouth. They were like puppy whines mixed with baby pig noises.  It was soooooooo cute!!

"Uhhhhh, Alec? Who is this guy anyway?" Izzy interrupted.
"Oh, this is Magnus, my friend with benefits.... Isabelle Sophia Lightwood! Are you raiding his fridge?" He explained before noticing the food heaped in her arms.
"Mo! Hoo bare you? I owm combeatly ingithent!" She shouted through a mouthful of muffin, spraying crumbs everywhere.
"Don't worry about it. I have more somewhere in this house." I said confidently. Isabelle then shuffled back into my fridge area. I then had a thought.
"Say,sweetpea, could you maybe say something in mandarin for me?" I said nervously and very shyly.
"Sure! Ni hen piao liang." He said blushing.
"Baby, what does that mean?" I asked hooked.
"It means your eyes are pretty. I fully agree with that wording as well as the translation." He divulged.
"As do I. Your eyes are stunning as well. I keep drowning in them and I can't find my way out until your perfect voice wakes me up." I brought up the old romantic in me.
"Uh. Well. Thank you." He spluttered before just pulling me in for a hug. He smelled perfect. Just the right balance of panic and confidence. A tiny hint of arrogance as well.

"Magnus you might wanna get some more............oh. I see what is going on here." Isabelle barged in. I then heard the distinct sound of a camera snapping.
"Delete that."I said into Alecs hair.
She refused so I clicked my fingers and the photo ceased to exist.
"Damn you then."she muttered, tucking her phone back into a bag she had found somewhere on her body.
"Isabella, mi nuevo hermana tiene trescientos anos." I insulted her in Spanish.
"Hhhhhh. Whatever." She huffed
"Alec, I'm going to Italy soon to assist Giorgio in his studies. You'll be sorry when I'm gone." She ranted.
I felt him smile against my chest. We broke apart but kept our interlinked hands.
"Yes, I'll miss you so much that I'll mope in my room all day and not throw a huge party. Oh, how will I go on? Sob sob im so sad." He said sarcastically.
"Stop acting your age. At least try to be mature Alexander Gideon Lightwood." She sneered.
