The Way of Life (A Malec Fanfiction)

Stalker?

(A/N: Would you like to see a POV from Magnus too or just Alec. Idk but I think I understand Alec more.)

After Magnus left, Alec stays a little bit in the library and starts reading the book Magnus gave him.

Alec can't concentrate. He thinks about Magnus and their conversation. Alec knows he's just a stranger but he felt so free when they talked.

He wants to see him again. Luckily Magnus gave him his number.

After 20 minutes Alec decides to go home. His parents should notice that he left and they would be really angry at him. But he doesn't care. He's nearly 18 years old. They can't treat him like he's 13.

He walks down the Allicante street and eventually, he arrives at home.

He opens the door, just to hear his name being yelled. It must be his father

Alec hopes Robert isn't in a bad mood.

"What were you thinking?!", Robert exclaims. He looks so angry, almost red like a tomato.

"I was at the library." I respond matter-of-factly. It seems to make him more furious.
"Who allowed that? Before you leave the house you tell us. DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!"

Alec doesn't respond to this. He doesn't want to get in more trouble than he already is. Robert is capable of anything right now. So he just nods.

"Leave...", Alec doesn't wait another second and started to run off to his room but he is being stopped.

"Wait. What is that on your arm?", Robert demands.

Dammit, Alec. Why didn't you roll your sleeves down. He thinks to himself.
"Nothing. Just a number from the book I borrowed so I know where I have to put it back. Can I go now?"

"You liar!", Robert tells him "Come here and wash it off. You know I don't like my children being paint by some strangers with numbers. You're taken and you're not meeting another girl."

Robert never accapted the fact that Alec's gay so he still pretends he's not.

Alec just nods and washes the number off his arm. He returns to his room and after a while he hears the knock on the door.

He says to come in and after a second, Isabelle comes in.

"Hey big bro. What's up? I heard that. I'm sorry. He didn't believe us and he entered your room." She says apologetic.

Alec just nods and beckons her to the bed. She sits in front of her brother now.

"Tell me Alec," she begins, "what number was dad talking about? Don't fool me. I know there aren't these kind of 'numbers' for the books."

Alec doesn't see a reason to lie to her. And he tells her about Magnus.

Izzy just listens but she is clearly beaming.

"Alec, that is so cool. Omg I'm so happy for you. Come here!" She wants to hug him, but Alec denies.

"Look Izzy. He gave me his number, but now I don't have it anymore. I want to call him or talk to him again.", Alec says worried.

"Alec there are so many ways to find him. You have his full name. Search on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. I'm sure you will find him somewhere. I can help if you want."

"Thank you, Izzy. I can do it myself, I think. Well it was nice to talk to you. Can I be alone now please. It's nothing against you but I need to be alone right now."

Izzy nods, hugs him -and Alec replies the hug- and leaves the room.

As soon as she is gone, Alec grabs his phone and searches him on Instagram, because maybe there is a chance to find some photos.

He has luck and finds him. But unfortunately he is private. It would seem odd to add him, however he decides to do it.

He sends him a Dm: hey Magnus, it's me, Alec. The guy from the library. I had to wash up your number so I don't have it anymore. So I decided to search you on Instagram. Please don't think I am a weird stalker or something like that. However, I hope maybe sometimes, I don't know, we can maybe talk?

He sends it and afterwards he clicks the follow button. Alec hopes that Magnus accepts the request.

After staring at his phone for like, 5 minutes, he sees a notification: MagnusBane_QuiteMagical accepted your request.

Alec checks his Dms, but there is no reply from him. Nevertheless, he looks at his pictures. He posts a lot of pictures.

He has so many facettes. In some pictures he looks really cute. In the other he looks so handsome. But there is one, and Alec knows that this will be one of his favourites, where he is shirtless. He is sweating and it seems like he's in the gym. So hot!

He accidentally likes the picture. But he soon dislikes (A/N: I know there is no disklike but I mean that he makes the like back. Hope you know what I mean.) and hopes Magnus didn't see it.

He scrolls through all of his pictures and then, finally, he decides to call it a day and goes to sleep.

(A/N: Is the story too slow-going. Should I do it more quickly or do it like I'm doing it rn? Pls let me know.)
