Accords Hall Kiss-->ALECS POV

*All characters, storyline and (most) dialogue belongs to cassandra Clare. I do NOT own TMI in any way *

"So he was the inquisitor's grandson. That must be why she-" Alec cut off mid sentence as a tall, dark haired man walked past himself, Isabelle and Simon. For a moment he was almost sure the man had been Magnus and was thoroughly disappointed when the man turned around to show the runes of a nephilm.

"Why she what?" Isabelle enjoined, clearly exasperated at Alec's lack of commitment to the conversation. "Alec, pay attention. Or at least tell us what your looking for."

"Not what, who." Alec replied, still searching. "Magnus. I wanted to ask him if he'd be my partner in the battle. But I've no idea where he is." A small realisation hit Alec that Magnus had most likely spoken with Clary before her rune idea had been agreed upon. Wherever Clary was, the mundane was never far away. "Have you seen him?" He asked Simon.

To Alec's disappointment, simon shook his head as he craned his neck to see above the crowd. "He was up on the dais with clary, but he's not now. He's probably in the crowd somewhere." Simon stated.

Before Alec could thank Simon for stating the obvious, Izzy cut in, momentarily distracting him from his searching.

"Really? Are you going to ask him to be your partner? It's like a cotillion, this partners business, except with killing." She says with a hint of awe in her tone. Izzy was just like Jace-they got so much joy out of killing things. Alec knew he was more protective and too sympathetic to be ruthless, which in a shadowhunter, was rare.

Alec heard the Vamp reply to Iz but the sound gets lost as he goes back to concentrating on another Magnus Bane lookalike. Unfortunately this "lookalike" is a female and has red hair. Luckily, the sound of Isabelle asking Simon to be her partner in the battle brings him back to his senses.

"Isabelle, you don't need a partner, because your not fighting. You're too young." Alec states bluntly. At the annoyed and rebellious look in her eyes, he adds "And if you even think about it, I'll kill you." Suddenly a person of a very distinct colouring caught Alec's eye and his head jerked up in desperation. "Wait-is that Magnus?"

Isabelle let out a burst of laughter, before composing herself long enough to answer his question. "Alec, that's a werewolf. A girl werewolf. In fact, it's what's-her-name. May."

Before Alec could let his embarrassment show, he suddenly caught sight of a very familiar looking warlock. "There's Magnus," he said before quickly moving through the crowd and visibly surprising the beautiful warlock by appearing in front of him.

"Alexander? What are you doing here?" Magnus asked, clearly surprised by the appearance of the shadowhunter in front of him.

"Would-" Alec broke off and cleared his throat. He never had been the best with words or the most confident but today, for the first time in his life, he didn't care what his family, or even the clave thought of him. As long as he got to fight beside Magnus. "Would you be my partner Magnus? In the battle I mean."

For a small moment, Alec was almost sure Magnus was going to say no, but sure enough the warlock smiled his beautiful cat grin and accepted the shadowhunters proposal. "Of course Alexander, but are you sure? What about the clave?"

"Who cares about the clave," Alec said with one of his rare smiles. "Now give me your hand" he said, taking the warlocks tanned wrist between his own pale fingers. Alec carefully applied the binding rune to Magnus' hand, before passing his steal to the warlock and allowing him to apply the pair rune to his own skin.

After both runes were completed, Alec felt as if some of Magnus' courage had been transferred into himself, along with his powers. He watched Magnus for a moment before laughing softly to himself. Magnus' hair was absolutely destroyed and he knew that at any other time, Magnus would be distraught, but at the moment, he seemed pleased with the crumpled spikes.

"Remember, if we live through this, you promised to introduce me to your whole family" whispered Magnus, with bright eyes.

In that moment Alec knew that just in case one of them did die in battle, he needed to kiss his warlock one last time. Beyond caring what anyone thought, Alec put his arms around Magnus' neck and kissed him on the mouth.

Alec felt Magnus freeze in shock. Alec knew he was definitely not someone who showed affection like this in public, especially not in front of his family or any of the shadowhunter community. Well they were gonna find out eventually, Alec thought to himself. Magnus, finally realising what was happening, kissed Alec back before breaking away with a surprised smile.

For a few moments after the kiss broke apart, Alec stayed holding onto Magnus, listening to the hushed muttering that surrounded them. He knew that he had just changed his life. As a shadowhunter, as a lightwood. But for the first time in his life he didn't care at all.

Magnus pulled away after a few more moments and watched Alec with pure wonder and love etched into his face. "Alexander. What about your parents? What about the clave?" Magnus whispered, his head still bent close together with Alec's. Alec felt lighter and happier than he had in months.

"Who cares about the clave" He whispered back, before turning around and facing the quiet room of shocked and muttering warlocks, werewolves and nephilm.
