First love. (an Malec high school au)

I need time

Alec's pov

I saw Camille walk away and I was confused, but I was getting late for my class so I decided to go. I reached my class and I found Magnus sitting, he started wearing makeup again, but still I didn't find not a single drop of glitter, it was devastating to see Magnus like this. I thought I was okay but that was because I didn't see Magnus the whole week. When I saw him again everything just flashed once again in my mind, this is becoming harder. I just don't know how I can possibly move on from him, it's almost impossible.

He didn't notice me, he looked down at his empty table the entire time thinking about something. Maia came towards me grinning. She pulled me in for a bone-crushing hug.

"How are you, feeling better?" She asked concerned.

"Yahh a lot better." I lied smiling.

"That's really good!" She replied. "Also dude you have a lot to catch up, I can give you my notes but there are a few assignments to finish as well."

"Oh god! I hate this part but anyways thanks." I told her and we went to sit in our places. I sat as far as possible from Magnus and he was still lost in his thoughts.

"Hey has Magnus always been like this, the entire week?" I asked Maia and she nodded she also told about how he came and asked her if I was fine.

"Maia you didn't have to rude." I told her because she had been very hard on Magnus.

"He hurt my best friend so I think I'm allowed to." She replied.

"But he's clearly hurt, you shouldn't have told that. Imagine how horrible he would've felt." I said.

"But Alec don't forget what he did to you."

"I know that he hurt me, but he had a reason." I said and she chuckled.

"What's so funny?" I asked her frustrated

"Magnus told me the exact same thing when we spoke." She told and I don't know why but I smiled at that.

The teacher was late so we were talking till then, I kept glancing at Magnus once in a while, he was writing something down. I was about to look away, when Magnus turned quickly and our gazes locked. I couldn't tear them away neither could he. He got up and walked towards me and placed a note on my table, smiled a little and went back to his place before even I could return the smile. When he smiled I felt my heart flutter a little. I opened the hurriedly folded paper to read and Maia came closer to read it as well, it was written in a messy handwriting using a purple glitter pen at which I smiled a little.

Alec,

I don't know if you'll read this or throw it away but I really need to talk to you, Sebastian still hasn't come to school so I don't think that'll be a problem so can we meet during the free hour? I'll be waiting in the library.

-Magnus

(time skip)

I rushed to the library and I found it almost empty which was a good thing. I found Magnus waiting on the other end, he was facing the other side so I could only see his back. He was leaning on the book shelf and looking down, probably at his nails.

I walked towards him and I felt my heart race faster with every step. I tapped on his shoulders and he turned.

"Alexander! I thought you wouldn't come." He told and my heart fluttered when he called me by my full name, god! How much I missed his voice.

"Yah you said you wanted to talk." I replied.

"Yah about that...look Alec, recently I had these thoughts going on and I don't how to tell it to you." He paused

"Magnus what is it? You know you can tell me anything right." I told him.

"Alec I don't want to lose you, I just can't bear the thought of losing you forever...can you please wait for me? I'm sure we can sort things out in the future, I'm sure we can make it." He let it all out. I didn't know what to reply I stood there for a few seconds before replying.

'Magnus I want nothing more than to wait for you, I love you so much I don't think I can ever move on. I will wait for you, if you promise to come back.'

I thought about saying this and just then what Camille said came to my mind and I'm just so confused.

"Magnus I really love you, but right now I need some time to think. I'm a little confused right now and so are you. So let's just forget about all this for now Magnus. You focus on dance and I will focus on my life. For now just let things be they way they are." I said

I saw that Magnus became a little upset but he said"I understand you completely Alec and your right we should leave things for now."

and hugged me one last time and left. When I felt his body against mine, I froze for a second but returned the hug. It felt so nice to feel his warmth again, even though it was only a quick hug it meant a lot. For the both of us.

I don't think I can lose Magnus but I need some time to think before taking a decision. I think it's best we sort it out in future and leave all of that for now.

Magnus's pov

Alec was right, he of course needed time. I broke my promises and his trust so he obviously needs time and I'm not even blaming him for telling that. but somehow I felt like that was our last hug. I don't know why but it felt like that.
