High School // Malec

Chapter 27.

- What is it?
Alexander looked at me with confused eyes and slightly parted lips which made my heart beat faster than ever before. How can someone be so beautiful without even trying?
- Magnus?
It wasn't first when Alec said my name that I realised that I had been staring at him for too long without saying anything. I felt how my face slowly turned into the same colour as a tomato or a lobster if that fits your description better and since I didn't want to make myself seem more embarrassing, I tried to hide my shaking hands from his gaze.
- What do you think about me? I asked with a barley hearable voice
- What?
- I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked, I answered and quickly stood up from the from the couch where the two of us were sitting beside each other
- Hey, wait a minute. I think you're an amazing person who deserves all the happiness in the world, Alec said m placed his hand on my upper arm
- Really? I asked
- Of course, Magnus. I know that many of your friends has treated you bad, but I'm never going to do that. You mean too damn much to me
- Alexander, I stuttered and felt how my whole face went red once again
- I know that we have had a long break from our friendship, but I'm more than happy to have you back into my life again, Alec said and flashed me a quick beautiful smile
- Me too, I answered
I carefully sat down on the comfortable couch beside him again and turned my attention towards the television that still were playing the stupid horror movie. From time to time, I could feel how Alexander stared at me, but I tried to play cool about it and not show him that I actually was dying on the inside.
- Since you asked me a question, can I ask you one? Alec suddenly asked
- Of course, I answered and turned my gaze to him instead of the TV
- What do you think about me?
Honestly, I wasn't surprised that he actually asked me that question since it was the same as mine, but it still made my heart beat faster.
- I think you're an absolutely amazing person too. You have been through so much and you still care about everyone else more than you care about yourself. You're honest and kind and I can't seriously believe that you're still single after all of these years, I answered
My answer made Alexander let out a quiet chuckle and the smile on his face made my whole heart melt. God, how can someone be so beautiful? He truly is like an angel that is sent down from heaven.
- You want to know why I'm single? Alec asked and looked at me
- Because people are too stupid to realise that you're pure art? I said before I even got the chance to think twice about my own answer
- No, I'm single because no one wants broken things, Alec answered and his expression slowly turned sad
- That's the problem with the people of today. They say that they're always going to be there for you, but when the time comes, they leave like the world is about to go under or something stupid like that
- Yeah, Alec stuttered
- Alexander, do you trust me when I say that I don't care about how fucking broken you are because I'll always want you? I asked
- Never? Alec answered and looked at me with wide beautiful eyes
- Never, I said and smiled
I don't know why I did it, but before I got the chance to think about my own actions, I placed a light kiss on his forehead and felt how he relaxed.
- Can I maybe ask you one more question? Alexander asked
- Always
- Would you maybe like to go out with me someday? I mean, you don't have to and I know you're busy with school and soccer practice, Alec said
- I would love to go out with you someday, Alexander, I answered
- Like a date?
- Like a date, I said and and flashed him one of my biggest smiles
Alec smiled back at me and in that moment, I felt happiness, which is something that I haven't felt in a really long while. After everything that happened between me and Camille, I never thought that I would be able to like someone the way I liked her, but I know now that I was wrong. I like Alexander and who knows? It might turn into love.
