When Alec met the love of his Life

Chapter 1

Hi guys, I hope you enjoy this chapter :) 

"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible" - Harry Burns. 

Alec stood with his arms crossed glaring at Izzy and Jace, Alec wasn't happy about this he wasn't happy about this at all. He had gone with Izzy and Jace to their favourite café under the impression they were just having a catch up but it turned out that they had been trying to set him up on a date with their best friend Magnus.

"Guys I can't go on a date with Magnus I have a boyfriend!"

Izzy glared back, "A terrible boyfriend-"

"Hey don't say that".

"How many times has Raj stood you up now?"

Alec opened his mouth to answer but found that he couldn't, Raj had done this to him so many times he had lost track. The realization made his heart hurt. Jace put his hand on Alec's shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look.

"Raj doesn't deserve you Alec, just give Magnus a chance he's a great guy".

"I can't cheat on Raj Jace I love him".

"Break up with him then".

"I can't, I'm going to go. Did your friend know what you're doing?"

"No he doesn't", Izzy said.

"Good I'm leaving", Alec said and stormed out ignoring Izzy and Jace's protests.

A few days after that Alec was in a book store with Simon and Underhill, they were browsing books when Simon looked up and excitedly shouted, "Magnus!"

Alec looked up from the books he was looking at and scowled when he recognised Magnus as the man Izzy and Jace had tried to set him up with, it was too much of a coincidence for this not to have been planned. When Simon rushed over to Magnus Alec raised his eyebrow at Underhill who was reading a book upside down. "You guys set this up didn't you?"

Underhill tried to seem innocent but failed miserably and his voice was very high pitched when he spoke, "What? No of course not". When Alec glared at Underhill he sighed, "Okay fine we did, but Raj is bad for you Alec you need to break up with him".

"But-"

"You love him I know", Underhill said sadly and gave Alec a side hug, "He doesn't deserve you".

"That's what Jace said", Alec said looking forlornly at the floor.

"Well Jace is right".

Alec was about to protest but Simon came over with Magnus. "Alec this is Magnus, Magnus this Alec".

"Um hey", Alec said shyly and when he looked at Magnus his eyes widened and his heart started beating wildly, Magnus was the most beautiful man he had ever seen. Alec immediately berated himself for that thought feeling guilty.

"Simon how could you not introduce me to this beautiful angel sooner?" Magnus said startling Alec. Magnus thought he was beautiful and had called him an angel? He couldn't remember the last time Raj had complemented him like that.

"Well we tried but Alec didn't wan--" Simon immediately cut himself off when he saw Alec frantically motioning him to stop talking, "Um I mean we couldn't find a time when Alec was free".

"Nicely done", Underhill whispered sarcastically to Simon making him kick his shin, "Ow hey!" Underhill kicked him back. Magnus and Alec were so focused on each other they completely missed Underhill and Simon's kicking fight which continued making people in the shop give them annoyed looks.

Magnus grinned, "Well it is my lucky day then". Alec couldn't stop a blush and he ducked his head, he felt Magnus gently take his chin and lift his face up. "Would you like to go out on a date some time?"

"Um I'm s-sorry I can't I already have a boyfriend".

"How about we just get a coffee", When Alec was about to speak Magnus continued, "Not as a date, I would like to get to know you I have been told a lot of things about you".

"Good things I hope".

"Very good things", Magnus said his grin widening.

"Um sure I guess, Simon, Underhill would you like to-", Alec cut himself off when he realised they had both disappeared and he rolled his eyes.

"Where did they go?" Magnus said looking around for them.

"They are going to pay for this", Alec muttered to himself. Magnus and Alec searched for them even though Alec knew they had left, Alec didn't want Magnus to know their friends were trying to set them up.

 Alec and Magnus had found a good spot to sit in a Starbucks and had been chatting for a couple of hours while drinking their drinks.

"And Simon tried to give me the silent treatment for a week but he couldn't even last 5 minutes", Magnus said laughing and Alec found himself laughing too Magnus' laugh was so infectious. Alec shook his head, Magnus had just finished telling him about a prank he had played on Simon, Alec didn't expect to enjoy Magnus' company so much. He was fun and his eyes sparkled with mischief as he had told his story. Alec wished he had known him when he was younger, he could have used his help a lot in his prank wars with his siblings. Alec suddenly realised Magnus had been staring at him for a while.

"What?"

"You really are very attractive you know". Alec blinked in suprise and looked away feeling awkward. "Have you never been told how beautiful you are?" Magnus asked but it wasn't really a question, he had noticed Alec's suprise and confusion when he had complimented him earlier. A surge of anger overtook him, had Raj never told Alec how beautiful he was? Magnus' heart ached if he was with Alec he would tell him every day, Alec deserved to know that he was an angel. Magnus frowned when he realized he was starting to have feelings for Alec, "We can never be friends".

Alec looked at Magnus with a hurt expression, he was confused he had thought Magnus had been enjoying himself too, "Why not?" But then Realization dawned on Alec, "Oh because you find me attractive", Alec said and Magnus became more angry when Alec scoffed at the notion, he really wanted to punch Raj.

"Oh more than attractive I'd say you're an angel sent from heaven".

Alec rolled his eyes, "Magnus you can keep calling me an angel for the rest of my life and I still wouldn't want to be in a relationship with you. I have a boyfriend remember?"

Magnus just smirked at him, "Challenge accepted". Alec shook his head in exasperation but couldn't hide his smile. "So my Angel would you like another drink?"

Alec groaned and put his head in his hands making Magnus laugh. They lost track of the time and realized they had been talking for another hour. Before they left they arranged another meet up and Alec was excited to see his new friend again. Alec couldn't stop smiling all the way back to his apartment.
