3rd POV
It was a stressful night for Alec Lightwood. He had been out hunting for hours, but despite his hard work and lack of sleep, Alec was wide awake. It had also been two weeks since him and his boyfriend Magnus had broken up. He spent hours upon hours locked up in his room, crying until his body couldn't produce anymore tears, and worrying everybody else in the institute. After a while he finally couldn't take the pain of crying anymore, and went out hunting for demons, and that was all he did. He would wake up, barely eat, hunt, lock himself in his room, and sleep. The cycle just continued like that until this very day. Alec had enough. Magnus never let him explain what really happened when he was talking to Camille. So now he was going to make Magnus listen.
Alec never went to retrieve his things from Magnus's apartment. So he still had a key to the place. So' he walked up the stairs and unlocked the door to the apartment and closed it like they had never broken up. Magnus was sitting on what used to be a bright, hot pink couch, but was now a dull grey, watching some reality show. When he heard the door open he turned his head in confusion and looked over to see his ex-boyfriend taking off his jacket and putting on the rack that he had standing next to the door.
When Alec turned around, his and Magnus's eyes met and they both had to hold back tears from falling. Even though Magnus was the one to break up with Alec he was heartbroken over it. He had spent the last two weeks sobbing into Chairman Meow's fur and burying himself in the darkness of his apartment, which he never left anymore. He hadn't put any glitter on his face or any other part of his body, nor had he worn it on his oh so flamboyant clothes. He had made his apartment dark, making the walls a sad grey and never really turning his lights on. He hadn't been working either.
Alec made his way over to Magnus, and Magnus stood up.
"What are you doing here Alexander?" Magnus said, trying not to sound strong when he was more broken than a shattered window.
"I need to talk." Alec said simply. Magnus Just looked at him, showing none of the emotion that he was feeling and Alec did the same until he broke the silence once again.
"You never let me explain." He continued. "I did think about shortening your life…" Magnus cut him off with a scoff but Alec kept going. "but even after five minutes of thinking about it I knew I could never do it. I told Camille that and believe it or not, she understood. The only reason I kept going back to her was because she actually told me about you. Magnus…. When we were together I felt like you knew everything about me. You knew my ancestors and EVERYTHING! But I never knew anything about you. You would never tell me anything, and when I would try to have a conversation about it, you would change the subject!" Magnus bowed his head not able to hold the eye contact Alec was giving him.
"Magnus, I loved you more than my life. I still do love you that much if not more. These last two weeks have been absolute HELL. I can't keep my mind off of you. And…" Alec's speech was cut off by his voice cracking with the tears that finally decided to make themselves known. Magnus looked up at him and his heart broke at the sight of his Alexander so broken. Yes he did say his Alexander. He could see the sorrow in his beautiful blue eyes.
"Alexander….don't cry." Magnus tried to say, but his own tears started fall. He couldn't take it anymore. Magnus didn't care what Alec did. He needed his blue-eyed nephlim back.
"I'm so sorry!" Magnus cried out trying to slow his tears, yet failing miserably. At this sudden outburst Alec looked up in shock. Seeing Magnus break down he couldn't help but grab Magnus tightly in his grip and pulling him to his chest. They cried in each-other's arms for a few minutes before Alec pulled away.
"Why are you apologizing?" Alec asked in a whisper, looking Magnus in the eyes softly.
"For hurting you. I promised you I'd never hurt you and I did!" Magnus tried not to burst out in tears again, but once again he failed and the tears fell. Alec didn't know what to do so he kissed Magnus hard on the lips. Magnus's tears stopped when Alec kissed him. He melted into the kiss that he missed so much and kissed back moving his lips against Alec's passionately and needing. They kissed for what seemed like an eternity, but what was really only a few minutes. Magnus pulled away first.
"I need you back in my life Alexander. I don't care what you did. I need you." Magnus said looking deep into Alec's eyes. Alec couldn't be happier.
"I love you so much Magnus…" Alec whispered kissing Magnus once again.
"I love you too Alexander…"
