Magnus is dreading the wedding tomorrow and when Alec comes round to his place. He hopes he can convince Alec to change his mind or at least give him a memory to hold onto. Based on All I Ask by Adele.
Magnus bit his tongue, he didn't want Alec to see the weakness that was threatening to make its way out of his cat eyes. He doesn't cry, he's the high warlock of Brooklyn he told himself. But seeing Alec stood in his apartment looking at him with the saddest most apologetic look made his heart feel like it was going to fall apart.
'Alec. I.' His words were falling short. This wasn't like him. He'd never felt like this, but now the potential love he had was marrying Lydia tomorrow. 'All I ask Alec, if this is the road you choose. And that this is my last night with you. Will you give me a memory I can use? I need something to remember this by.' He wasn't sure what was coming out of his mouth now. Maybe it the few glasses of wine he had drunk before Alec had come round. But he felt like pouring his whole being out in a desperate last minute attempt to stop him from making the biggest mistake of both their lives. And Magnus had made some pretty big mistakes.
Magnus kept saying the same phrase over and over in his head. 'What if I never love again?' He wasn't sure what this was, but he knew it was love. He could see tears forming in Alec's eyes. Those beautiful eyes that would make his knees weak, now ready to destroy the pieces of his heart he was struggling to hold onto.
'Let this be the way we remember us. Whatever we were Alec. Please.' He stepped closer, the shadow hunter directly in front of him now. He looked up and closed his eyes. Alec then leant down and kissed him. Magnus wasn't sure what to do, he wasn't expecting this. He wanted this to happen but now it finally did, he was completely taken aback. He put his arms round him, feeling the muscles in his back tightening and relaxing. It was better than anyone else he had kissed. He didn't think of the impending wedding tomorrow. He didn't think of anything but that kiss, being in the moment and never wanting to leave it.
It was incredible, he had been with many men and women throughout the years. Camille was the most serious of them all but not even she could compare to the way Alec made him feel. That strange desire he always felt in his chest when he heard his name. Magnus knew that deep down Alec felt the same way but his beliefs of family and honour were too much for him to accept this and stop the wedding.
Alec pulled back suddenly. 'I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I need to go.' He started to move briskly to the door. 'Alec no don't go.' Magnus grabbed his arm stopping him from reaching the door handle. 'Please.' Alec looked at him unsure what to do. Looking between the door and Magnus. 'I'm sorry Magnus. I have to do what's right' he opened the door and left.
Magnus stood there, staring at the door. Everything that just happened was slowly becoming a whirl of emotions, he didn't know what to do. He had finally had that intimate moment with the one person who could knock those walls he spent years putting up but had now left.
His lips tingled from the kiss, he turned around and snapped his fingers, another glass of wine appeared in his hand and he took a large gulp. But it didn't have the same effect before Alec was here. He knew that no amount of wine or magic was going to heal the hurt he was feeling right now, only Alec could do that and the chances of that happening with the wedding tomorrow were zero.

He climbed into bed, feeling clean from the shower but not refreshed. He stared up at the ceiling wondering what the hell he was going to do from now on. His phone buzzed, but he wasn't in the mood to talk. Magnus couldn't shake the feeling of hope that it could have been Alec saying he's made a mistake. He grabbed his phone from the bedside cabinet and unlocked it. It wasn't Alec much to his disappointment. It was Izzy.
Magnus was surprised to receive a text from Izzy but he knew she was the only person who understood how Alec felt towards him. Magnus, come to the wedding tomorrow. I can't sit back and see Alec marry someone he doesn't love. I hope you make the right decision. Iz.
For the first time that evening Magnus smiled. This was his second chance and he wasn't going to let it pass. Plus, he had to pick an outfit for the wedding tomorrow.
