A/N: This will be a series of (very) short stories, mostly completely unrelated to one another. It's my literary scrapbook as imagine scenes, different scenes, in Alec and Magnus' life. I'll update whenever inspiration strikes me so it'll be sporadic at best. If you have requests, suggestions etc. head over to my tumblr and drop a note in my ask box. I won't promise I'll write what's asked for, but if I see anything that interests me, I'll go with it. In the mean time, enjoy.

"Here," Magnus said as he shoved a jewel item into Alec's hands.

Alec gazed at the small golden-green crystal cupped in his hands with suspicion. The jewel was a teardrop the size of a ping-pong ball and gleamed almost warmly against the light, a golden-green tinge that mirrored Magnus' eyes. "Uh, thanks."

Magnus smiled. "It's a gift. My gift to you - and me as well I suppose..."

"What is it?" Alec asked as he held the jewel up to the light, its sparkle almost memorising for a reason he couldn't exactly place. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was holding something extremely important. "What am I supposed to do with it? Wear it? Endlessly stare at it?"

"Break it," Magnus said flatly. "I want you to shatter it into a million pieces."

Alec turned sharply to face Magnus, his fingers instinctively tightening, almost defensively, around the small jewel. "What? Why would I break it? What is it?"

Magnus dropped his gaze for a moment and took a step forward, bridging the gap between them. His hands reassuringly running up and down Alec's arms, Magnus cleared his throat and spoke softly, "My immortality, all of it, is in your hands, Alexander. If you break it, I will be mortal."

Alec's gaze returned to the jewel resting in his hands. The physical embodiment of what he had wanted for so long - the chance to live a life with the one he loved, and yet he couldn't help but feel like it was wrong. "No."

"No? No, what?"

Alec closed his eyes, squared his shoulders and stood back. "I'm not breaking it," he replied, handing the jewel back to Magnus. "Why are you doing this?"

Magnus cocked his head in confusion. "Because I want to grow old with you. Because I love you. I thought this was what you wanted."

"I do." Alec's voice didn't waiver as he found himself within the warlock's familiar embrace. "More than anything."

"Then what's the problem?" Magnus asked.

"I won't be the reason you lose your immortality, Magnus."

Magnus couldn't help but laugh incredulously. "Really? You do realise that you're the one and only reason why I've decided to give it up."

Alec narrowed his eyes but stood his ground. "Fine, but I'm not going to be the one to take it away."

"You're afraid I'll regret it. That it, isn't it?"

Alec shrugged. "I'd rather not have to feel guilty if that happens."

"You'll feel guilty anyway," Magnus retorted with a smile. "I know you."

"But that's not the point, I just-" Alec froze as he watched the golden tear leave Magnus' hands, falling through eternity before shattering into countless pieces. Alec looked up to see Magnus' easy smile.

"Aku cinta kamu," Magnus whispered.

"You've said that to me before, once, a long time ago." Alec replied, his voice slightly shaken.

Magnus nodded and bent down to place his lips against Alec's. "I meant it then and I mean it now."
