The sun was hiding in the horizon, letting Magnus know that he had spent the day roaming in his loft doing nothing particulary productive and thinking about certain blue eyes and delicious lips. Again. They had had just one date, one desastrous wonderful date, but Magnus couldn't stop thinking about Alec. That Shadowhunter boy had gotten himself under his skin so quickly that he didn't see it coming nor could he had done anything to prevent it. Alexander. The thought of him alredy did funny things to his blood pressure, his way of caring for people, even downworlders, from the world he had been born into that was a huge thing; he gave that werewolf girl the human treatment no shadowhunter ever had given her. Maybe, if shadowhunters could see the world trough Alec's eyes... but Magnus knew better than that. The warlock let out a sigh and turned the T.V on and music videos channel popped on the screen. It's funny sometimes when the universe gives you little pieces of advice or tries to cheer you up; for example, with a particular smell you're not entirely sure where it comes from but it reminds you of something that makes you smile, some words that seem to be just in the right order for you or songs which lyrics hit the perfect spot. This time it was the lattest. A song:

I'm not surprised
Not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times,
I stopped keepin' track.
Talk myself in
I talk myself out
I get all worked up
Then I let myself down.

I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought I'd thought of every possibility

And I know someday that it'll all turn out
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid, that I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

I might have to wait
I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing
And the other half's luck
Wherever you are
Whenever it's right
You come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing
And baby your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

But somehow I know that will all turn out
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid, I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet

They say all's fair
In love and war
But I won't need to fight it
We'll get it right
And we'll be united

And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me
And now I can see every single possibility

And someday I know it'll all turn out
And I'll work, to work it out
Promise you kid, I'll give more than I get
Than I get, than I get, than I get

Oh you know it will all turn out
And you'll make me work, so we can work, to work it out
And I promise you kid, to give so much more than I get
Yeah I just haven't met you yet

I just haven't met you yet
Oh promise you kid
To give so much more than I get

I said love, love, love, love, love, love, love
I just haven't met you yet
Love, love, love, love, love, love
I just haven't met you yet

Damn Michael Bublé and damn his pretty little face and his ability to hit the damn right spot. Magnus just sat on the couch looking at the screen with a half smile on his lips and a sad look on his eyes. He hoped, he hoped with everything he had that this time it'd worked out. It certanly felt right, different. He wasn't blind either, he knew that Alec was so closeted that he might as well be confused for a coat and he could smell the unrequired love the boy felt for his very annoying blond brother but he saw a spark at the end of the tunnel, very small spark but enough to keep him going.
