Love, Trust, And Magic Dust

Chapter 8

Magnus's POV

Falling asleep, I didn't wake up until I rolled over and found Alec not in bed with me. I opened my eyes and sat up. "Alec." I called but no answer. I got up but my robe but then I noticed there was a cup on the nightstand. Coffee. I picked it up and read the note with it.

Hope this somewhat makes up for me not being in bed with you when you woke up. If this doesn't help I can always make it better   ~Alec

I smiled and carried the cup out to go see him. Walking into to the sitting area, I found him sitting at the table with his hands clasped and holding his head up. I had gone through a similar time myself. "Alec," He looked at me. "Hey." I said putting my hand on the back of his head, tilting it to kiss him.

"Morning." He said smiling. "Sorry I wasn't there when you woke up." I sat next to him putting my coffee cup down.

"No worries," I said holding his hand. "Please tell me if your ok Alexzander." He furrowed his brows.

"Of course I'm fine." he said kissing my head getting up, but before he walked away...

"I too have done this if you remember, suppressed my feeling. Hoping no one would notice."

"I'm not suppressing my feelings."

"Then what are you doing?" I said with concerned eyes as I stood to meet his level. "Because this is NOT what people who love each other do."

"I've told you why, now I'm just figuring things out." I nodded looking down. He walked over to me, pulled me close, and said, "I heard what you said last night." I smiled as he kissed me. Next time I might have to be more quiet about it. But I'm glad that he heard it. It gives him the realization that I DO want to marry him.
As days passed so did fearful nights. I had watched the snow fall and the flowers bloom again. After Alexzander's 25 birthday, and on my 803 birthday, he did something for me. Something that we both wanted. I had gotten special treatment because today is my birthday! I had always hated my it because I, was born. But Alec made me realize that birthdays can be fun when you spend them with people that love you and that you love in return. We had the party at the institute. I was in the bedroom getting ready when Alec came in.

"Hey you ready?" He asked and realized I was just standing there perfecting my black vest and blue blouse for over 20 minutes. He chuckled and came in, snaking his hands around my waist. "Are you ok?" He asked with a smile, kissing my cheek.

"I don't know," Then I turned around. "Does this vest make me look fat?" I asked with a worried face and he laughed, shaking his head.

"No, it doesn't. You look great."

"Not as great as you." He shook his head.

"I don't think so." He said placing a crown on top of my head. I was shocked and rose my brows. "Today, your the king." My smile reached my eyes as I wrapped my arms around his waist. Then he reached over, grabbed my cloak, and put it around me. Kissing me, he offered out his arm. "Shall we?" He asked and I grabbed it, smiling.

"We shall." As we reached the institute my stomach was doing backflips. I guess Alec must have caught on cause he grabbed my hand.

"Why so worried?"

"Maryse is going to be here correct," He nodded with a small smile. "I think I have a right to be nervous. I just won't let her see. As we walked in, I heard everyone shout....

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAGNUS!" I smiled and saw all the decorations.

"Thank you." I said to all of them. Hell, even for a second I thought I saw Maryse smile. She walked up to us and actually DID smile at me.
