Blameless (A Malec Fanfic)[ON HOLD]

Chapter 1

One day, Alec and Magnus went on a date. Alec decided to let Magnus pick what they should do since they hadn't seen each other in a while. Of course, Magnus wanted to go shopping. They ended up in a store called The Gap. It was Magnus's favorite store, so they went there often.
While walking around, Alec spotted something that caught his eye. It was a scarf. The scarf was the most lovely shade of midnight blue that Alec had ever seen.
Magnus had spotted the scarf too and his eyes sparkled at the thought of Alec wearing it. He always thought that his boyfriend looked amazing in that color. It matched the beautiful shade of his eyes.
Alec's eyes dulled as he spotted the price tag, and he tugged on Magnus's sleeve to show him how much it was.
"Don't worry love," said Magnus, "I would much rather see you in less clothing than more." A playful look sparked in Magnus's eyes as he saw the bashful expression that crossed Alec's face. Magnus mentally marked the store and scarf, thinking that perhaps he could come back later.
Alec, cheeks pink from the cold and from blushing at his boyfriend's display of affection, pulled Magnus towards a coffee shop to grab a quick cup and relax with his boyfriend. Things at the institute had been hectic lately and this was the first time they had been out together in a week. Alec missed not seeing his warlock.
"Alexander?" Magnus's words had snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Yes, Magnus?" Alec looked up from cup of coffee to look at the beautiful warlock he had the honor of calling his boyfriend.
"What are you thinking about?" Magnus's question caught the shadowhunter off guard.
"Umm, things. I'm thinking about stuff, you know?" Alec trailed off, and Magnus's eyes narrowed. He took Alec's hand and demanded that his boyfriend look at him.
"Alexander," Magnus's voice was filled with many emotions: worry, sadness, but most of all love. "Alexander, tell me what's wrong.""It's nothing. The institute is just a bit crazy with everyone preparing for Simon's ascension." Alec confessed, "Also, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever and I've missed seeing you."
Magnus's eyes widened at Alec's words, realizing what he was saying. "Alexander, I'm sorry... I should have called you more, I-.."
Alec cut him off, "No, no, Magnus it's not your fault. It's a petty thing to worry over, really. You've been busy, and I have too... It's just, time seems to run out, you know?"
Magnus looked to Alec, searching for his blue eyes, but Alec had his head lowered and was absentmindedly playing with the lid of his coffee cup. Magnus took his boyfriend's face in his hands, cupping his cheeks, forcing Alec to look up at him. "Alexander, our time may be limited, but that just means we have to make the most of it." Magnus reached across the table to kiss his boyfriend on the lips. Alec let out a soft groan of surprise and began to kiss the warlock back.
Alec became aware of a few stares and whispers. He pulled back from kiss, reluctantly, his cheeks hot. Magnus was smiling, obviously pleased, and took Alec's hand in his. Their fingers laced together, and Alec leaned his head against his boyfriends shoulder. "Magnus," Alec's voice was low, so that only they could hear, "I lo-"
He was cut off by his obnoxiously loud ring tone. Set specifically for a certain obnoxiously loud blonde parabatai. Alec looked up from his phone with an annoyed look on his face. He gave Magnus a sympathetic look.
Magnus returned the look and said, "It's okay darling, answer it."
"It's Jace, probably something stupid. I can ignore it." Alec stared at the still ringing phone. He really wanted to spend time with his boyfriend, but what if Jace was in trouble? What about the institute? Something could be wrong. He looked back up at Magnus, his cat eyes sparkling with incredible love and patience. Looking at his phone again, he pressed the end button, not wanting to waste his precious time with Magnus. If it was important, Jace would shoot him a text.
Magnus looked at the black haired boy surprisingly. He glanced at Alec's phone and back up at his boyfriend. "Are you sure it wasn't important?"
"No, but he knows that I'm on a date and that he shouldn't interrupt," Alec said, "Besides, he's always in trouble, he can figure it out for himself." Magnus looked at his boyfriend incredulously, still surprised he ignored his Parabatai's phone call. Alec was usually the responsible one, never taking risks. How much had he changed? More importantly, how long had they been apart?
