Why Do You Love Me?~ Malec

"Alec, I'm home!" I call to the empty hallway. My heart beat rising a titch when no response comes. After taking off my shoes and jacket I wander around the house.

I almost walked pasted the kitchen but something caught me eye. Sitting on the counter top was Alec. Head buried in his hands, body shaking slightly, I could even hear the soft sobs escaping his lips as I immediately ran to his side.

"Alec, darling, what's wrong?" I ask, pain in my chest at seeing my boyfriend hurting.

"Why do you love me?" He looks up from his hands, bright blue eyes gazing into mine. The look of pain and despair on his face shatters my heart as I place my hands on his hips and rest our foreheads together.

"Alexander." I whisper, looking straight into his eyes. "I love you because you're smart, funny, adorable, cunning, beautiful, loving, and many more reasons."

"But why? I'm nothing special." He insists through laboured breaths.

"Alexander Gideon Lightwood. You are special to me. I'm in love with you and that is by far the best thing I will ever do." He looks into my eyes as if he were trying to convince himself I was lying. " Now just follow my lead, and try to control your breathing." Alec nods and tried to match my pace.

After a few minutes I see his breathing pattern even out, and a small smile graces his lips.

"Thank you." He says as he gently grabs the back of my neck and pulls me in for a kiss. "I'm in love with you too Magnus."
