It was only a few days later Victoria had returned to Idris, her past face behind her, Alec had liked her she made a good friend. He hoped she would come back to visit. His father was leaving them today, which was a relief to him. But he still had to look him in the eyes to say farewell.
They all met in the foyer Magnus, Max, Isabelle, Maryse and himself with Robert standing by the door. Maryse gave him a curt smile and nod, Alec couldn't remember the last time they had touched one another, the affair...had just made all of it slide downhill.
Isabelle gave him a hug, but Alec could see the look on her face. It was torture for her to be in his embrace her uncomfortable increasing every agonizing second. Max, to little to know the difference ran into his arms giggling and arms wrapped around his neck.
In the week that had passed Alec had overcome his fear of the past his father couldn't do anything to hurt him now, he was a grown adult. He didn't even hesitate when he reached out to shake his father's hand. "Father...."
Robert took his son's hand in a firm grip and nodded to him, saying nothing. Then when he finished with his son he held out his hand towards Magnus. Magnus being Magnus looked baffled, and muttered something disgusting indiscreet to everyone in the room before offering his hand back to the taller man.
Robert pulled Magnus in giving him a strong slap on the back muttering a congratulations, at this Magnus jerked as if he had been stabbed, but his face reddened and calm down quickly after the fact. Robert was being friendly....with Magnus...Alec's boyfriend....Alec didn't like where this was headed but a mere moment later Robert had disappeared through the institutes giant double doors.
Alec was still weary of Robert, but what did it matter. Magnus and him were doing something tonight they hadn't done in a long time. A date.
It took Alec only about ten minutes to get ready. Pulling a brush through his ebony hair, pilling on some worn jeans and an old Tshirt he was ready to go. Magnus however he knew would take much longer. So he flopped down on his bed to wait for him.
His eyes flew open with a knock on the door, he shot up glancing at the clock realizing it had only been five minutes. He hadn't realized how tired he was. Straightening his hair again, he raced to open the door.
A smiling warlock stood before him, clad in skin tight black jeans,a loose white dress shirt and a black, gold and green striped waist coat. His wore little makeup, only a thin stroke of eyeliner across his top lid and gold glitter lightly dusted through his hair.
Alec looked down at himself with disgust, he was always so grungy compared to Magnus, it made him almost cower back into his room. "What's wring babe?" Magnus asked raising an eyebrow.
Alec's voice was so small, "it's just...I'm so under dressed..."
"Hun everyone's underdressed compared to me!" Magnus exclaimed, but noticed that it made Alec cower a little more, "listen Hun you feel comfortable dressing this way and if you like it I like it, alrighty ?" His smile was so warm Alec had to feel reassured.
Nodding taken his hand Magnus teleported them right then and their through the swirling portal. They appeared in lights reflecting the city sky, the air fresh and cool against his skin. Alec realizing where he was, let out a sharp gasp covering his mouth.
They were standing in top of the Eiffel Tower.
Their was a small table set with dinner next to the railing, besides it was a petit women with blue gray skin smiling at Magnus and playing a violin. "Magnus..." Alec said breathless "This is beautiful...."
Magnus beamed taking his hand leading him to the railing looking over the buzzing city. The streets filled with people and lights and assorted sounds and smells. But Alec felt he was atop of them all, on top of the world. Not because he was up so high. Because everything felt right. Here with Magnus, and with no fear any longer in his heart.
Magnus fiddled nervous with his hands and sweat on his brow. Alex was about to ask him if he was alright when he spoke up. "Alec, I need to ask you something...."
Alec nodded for him to go ahead, giving all his attention to him. Magnus took a small navy blue velvet box from his back pocket, his face was entirely red. Alec's breathe hitched once again this time covering his mouth with both hands.
"Alexander lightwood...." Magnus began. "You have made me the most happy I have ever been in my eight hundred years....there are no words that can describe how much you mean to me, Alexander I would die for you. Now I need to ask you." Taking a deep breathe he got down on one knee and spoke with overwhelming passion. "Alexander Gideon Lightwood, will you marry me?"
Alec was too choked up to speak and tears were filling his eyes. As he blinked they rolled down his cheeks, he could taste the salt in his mouth, an expectant Magnus looking back at him questioningly. Finally he choked out the single word. "Y-yes!!"
Magnus smiled, standing slipping the simple silver band onto his finger. He opened his mouth to say something....but his face froze, and with a sudden jerk forward his eyes rolled back to the whites, a red blooming flower on his shirt front.
Alec moved towards him, but he was not quick enough in his state of shock. Magnus bane had fallen over the rail, from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
(Thnix for reading guys!! I don't really know what to say besides that...comments on what the hell just happened :D???)
