The One That Got Away

Chapter 6

It was the next day and Magnus was sat in his Loft and all he could think of was Alec and how he knew deep down that both Caterina and Simon were right he had to tell Alec about everything before it was too late. His heart was telling him to do right thing and tell him and risk only losing him for a short time and he will accept Magnus and come back to him. His brain was telling him that it's too dangerous for him to know and he could lose him forever. Magnus was torn he really didn't know what to do. Magnus was suddenly brought back to reality by a buzzing noise, he had a message off Alec 'hey Magnus, how are you?' He then looked up at the clock and noticed the time, he grabbed his coat and darted out of her apartment.

Meanwhile Alec was at work doing his usual shift it was getting to the end of the lunchtime rush and he noticed Magnus never came in like he usually does he really was starting to miss him. He was missing staring into those gorgeous chocolate brown eyes that he got lost into every single time. It began to really die down now he looked at the clock and saw that it was 3:00 PM and Alec only had an hour left of his shift and he really wanted to see Magnus again. He was debating whether he should text Magnus to see how he was but didn't want to sound desperate and needy,  then about 5 minutes went by and Alec got a sudden confidence in him and just went for it he sent the text. A whole 10 minutes went by and he heard nothing back and he was really starting to think that it was a mistake that maybe seeing Magnus was a mistake that Magnus didn't want it as much as Alec did. All these thoughts were driving Alec crazy. Then all of sudden the sound of the doorbell signalling someone coming in and he was beyond happy to see who it was.

It was Magnus, standing there in the door looking as gorgeous as ever. Magnus strode forward toward the counter "good afternoon Alexander" Alec turned round to the coffee machine and proceeded to make the coffee that he Magnus was going to order "So as you didn't respond to my text. How are you?" Alec said so it's more bitterness than he wanted. "I am so sorry about that, Alexander I just really lost track of time. I'm sorry I'm later than I usually am." Magnus explained. Alec looked at Magnus with a look that said "I'm sorry for sounded so bitter". Alec handed Magnus his Coffee and he was about to turn and leave not that he wanted to he just felt Alec was upset with him and didn't want to make the situation worse and just as he reached the door a voice stopped him in his tracks. "Magnus wait!" Magnus turned round "my shift finishes in around 40 minutes stay and you can walk with me" Magnus nodded and they both smiled at each other as Magnus walked over to sit on the closest chair to Alec as he could. Those 40 minutes were the longest 40 minutes of Alec life he just wanted this shift to be over so he could properly spend time with Magnus. Within the 40 minute they were both stealing glances at each other and talking about random things. Soon Alec's shift was over, he hung up his apron and grabbed himself a coffee. He turned to Magnus who seemed to be deep in thought "you ready?" Which bought Magnus back to reality "yes come on let's go" Magnus stood up, held his hand out to Alec who grabbed and they both walked out of the cafe hand in hand. There was a silence but it wasn't an awkward silence it was comfortable. They were walking hand in hand all the way and nearly reached Alec's apartment and Alec felt a sudden sadness he really didn't want to end it here, he didn't want to leave just yet. They were now in front of Alec's apartment now facing each other fingers intertwined neither wanting to leave "I would invite you in but Izzy is staying" Alec explained "who is Izzy?" Asked Magnus "oh shes my sister and will bombard you with questions" Alec said while rolling his eyes. Magnus chuckled "well we could go back to mine. Only if you want though" Alec smiled at Magnus happy he suggested it "i'd love to".
