The One That Got Away

Chapter 2

The day came and Magnus was actually going to ask out Alec. Walking to the the coffee shop planning to get there same time as usual. All the way there Magnus couldn't stop smiling he couldn't believe he was actually going to do it.

In the coffee shop the lunch time rush had really slowed down and there was no sight of Magnus. Alec was getting nervous thinking that he wasn't going to show. Every minute that passed he was looking at the door and his watch and his idea that he had been thinking about for the best part of a week of asking Magnus out was beginning to look like a stupid idea. Alec was fidgeting with his fingers slowly losing hope that Magnus was never going to turn up, then the door bell rang causing Alec to look up. To be greeted by Magnus looking as fabulous as ever. 'Hello Magnus, how are you today? Your usual?' 'I'm good now I've seen you and yes please' Alec turned around to make the coffee and started to blush. 'So Alexander, you got anything planned for tonight?' Magnus asked trying not to sound suspicious. Alec turned around to give Magnus his coffee 'not of yet' Magnus was about to pay for his drink but Alex refused his money. Magnus looked at him confused. 'This is in me. In return you can take me out.' Magnus looked at Alec smiling. After Alec notices that Magnus wasn't saying anything back he looked down at his hand feeling lost and like an idiot 'unless you don't want too.' Magnus reaches over and grabbed Alec's hand and have a reassuring squeeze. 'I would love to' and Alec gave Magnus a smile so wide it reached he eyes. They exchanged numbers 'send me your address and I will pick you up at 7' and with that Magnus turned and left.

"No, not that one." Izzy said with her arms crossed, shaking her head in disapproval as Alec held out a black button-up shirt. Alec just sighed and hung the shirt back up in his closet, before eyeing the outfits again in search of something to wear on his date with Magnus tonight. "You should go for something a bit fancier," she advised. Alec nodded, continuing to look over each of his outfits before finding another one to show Izzy.
"How about this one?" he asked. It was a fancy button-up top with sleeves and was a navy blue color.
"That one's perfect," Izzy beamed happily, smiling at him.
"Finally, one that you like." Alec said, slightly sighing in relief. "I just hope that Magnus likes it too." he added.
"He will, if he's got good taste, that is." Izzy told her brother. "Well he's going to be here soon so you'd better get dressed." she said, turning to leave Alec's bedroom.
"Yeah, right." Alec nodded, before closing his bedroom door and changing into his date outfit. He did the buttons on his shirt, before spraying a hint of cologne. He then came out of his bedroom, and anxiously waited for Magnus to arrive. He glanced at the clock which read '7:000pm' and just then, there was a knock at the door. Alec stood up from the sofa where he'd been waiting for about five minutes or so. He quickly made his way over to the door, opening it and instantly smiling when he saw Magnus standing in the doorway, looking stunningly gorgeous. He stood there for several moments, just admiring the man that stood in front of him.
"Hey. Y-you look.. really nice," he managed to get out. Magnus softly smiled at him.
"Thank you. And you look nice yourself. I really fancy that outfit on you." he complimented.
"I'm really glad you like it, thank you." Alec said, lightly blushing as a smile formed upon his features.
"Are you all ready to go?" Magnus asked, and Alec nodded, still smiling.
"Yeah, let's go." he answered, before leaving his apartment with Magnus.
