1. Returning

Summary: After five years of absence, Magnus decides to visit the Institute... but everything is different than what he remembered

Magnus's POV

I hesitated before knocking on the door. My heart began to beat faster and I was sweating almost all over. I held in my breath when the door opened.

"Magnus?" Clary asked, a little surprised.

"Clary... I- may I come in?" I answered, struggling to form an entire sentence.

"I..." She sighed.

"Clary... please, I-"

"You're not welcome here," a voice hissed. I looked up for a moment just to fall in contact with brownish eyes. Jace.

"Actually, I am. We're still allies, aren't we?" I asked, annoyed.

"Why should we trust you Magnus? You've been absent for five fucking years! You're no longer welcomed even if you're an ally," Jace snapped.

"Just..." I started.

"I think you should leave," Clary sighed before closing the door. I stood there for a few minutes before making a portal and returned to my loft.

3rd person POV

Magnus didn't notice the figure in the third floor of the Institute watching him intensely. The one who truly loved him, Alexander Gideon Lightwood.
