I keep looking around hoping that I will see him. The room is full with people from the Clave and Downworlders. I am looking franticly for a warlock with cat eyes but still cannot find him. Clary has made a rune that marks partnership for this battle we are about to fight. Simon has been marked by Clary, Jocelyn marked Luke and Isabelle and Jace were partners. I still am struggling to find my partner in battle. Then I see him almost completely hidden by the shadows.
" Magnus?" I ask making sure it was him.
" Yes Alec it's me." He replied stepping out of the shadows.
I smile but he isn't smiling so my smile quickly fades.
" I guess I should make this quick." I said clearing my throat.
" What is it Alec?" asks Magnus slightly annoyed.
" Would you like to be my partner in battle?" I asked in almost a whisper.
" I'm sorry Alec I couldn't quite hear you." Says Magnus slightly confused.
" I said would you like to be my partner in battle." I say a bit louder.
" Why I would love too." He says sticking out his arm.
" Why have you been avoiding me?" I ask trying not to look in his eyes.
" Why does it all of a sudden matter to you?" He says back.
Ouch that hurt, I finish the rune and look back at him.
" It's finished the rune I mean." I said slightly embarrassed.
" Ok my turn." He said sticking his hand out.
I hand him my Stele trying my best not to touch his hand. I feel I slight tingle and look on my arm finding the partnership rune.
" Thanks." I mutter taking my Stele back and placing it back in the holder.
" I really am sorry." I say looking up at Magnus.
" Sure you are." He says slightly irritated.
Without much thought I crush me lips against him and I feel him tense up. I didn't care about the whispers or the stares it was about time everyone knew about how I felt. After a while Magnus kisses me back and I pull away.
" Does that prove it?" I ask.
" But what about your parents?" he asks slightly concerned.
" It's about time I told them anyway." I said smiling.
Looking back most of the people in the room are shocked by what just happened. But all I care about is what my family thinks. Isabelle is smiling widely, Jace is looking at me like I have 5 heads, but my parents faces were almost unreadable until my mom burst into tears. To be honest I couldn't tell if that was a good sign or not. My dad looked absolutely disgusted with me. I feel like no one cares except for Isabelle. I know this would be a very long journey but it was about time everyone knew the truth. I have no idea of what the road ahead had for me. But all I know is that there will no longer be secrets and the one I love will be by my side the entire time.
