A/N: Based on the song I can tell by Adelitas Way. I'm sorry for the crappiness and not to mention the shortness of this chappie but I swear the other one's gonna be way better. In my defense, I'm having a headache and lack inspiration.


(Magnus's POV)

I enter the key and open Alec's apartment door. I meet with the back side of a canvas.

"Alec?",I call out.

"Here Mags. I was just finishing this painting", he sticks his head out of one side of the canvas. His face all splattered with pastel colored paint looking adorable as ever, making me smile.

"I like it", I say after kissing him and eying the painting. It was a couple, the boy was hugging the girl from behind, clearly in love. Both were wearing winter clothes since it was snowing and had their eyes closed. The girl was holding a rose. Weird, I thought. I mean, it was winter.

"The rose represents their love", Alec explains," it means that no matter what happens through ups and downs it will always remain intact. In this case, the problems represent the weather, hence the winter and the rose it its full glory"

"Hm, someone's cheesy, alright"

"Love does that to you", he says signing the painting. Thankfully he didn't notice my grimace.

"So anyways. Brought you some coffee", he scrunches his nose.

"I'm more in a-"

"Tea mood? Well, it's your lucky day, I bought some tea as well"

"With you, every day is my lucky day", he winks taking the cup out of my hand," so anyways, how are your drawings doing" if your wondering I do charcoal paintings.

"Uh, they're going..."

"Mmm since you're here, wanna watch a movie?", he asks me.

"Erm, yeah, sure", I smile.


(Alec's POV)

Truth to be told, I did not watch the movie. At all. Was I way too captivated and distracted by the way Magnus felt against me that I could not concentrate on it? No. Was I too busy playing with his hair? No. Had I already seen the movie and it was too boring to watch again? No. Then why on earth did you not enjoy the freaking movie Alexander Gideon Lightwood? you might be asking yourself. Well, simply because I was just to busy doing some thinking. What about? Why Magnus of course.

It's just that...I feel like something's wrong.

I can tell by the way that I hold him tight that something's wrong, by the way that he stares in my eyes, tempted to give in but at the same time hollow. I find myself wondering what would happen if I just told Magnus that I've been think and dreaming about him, about the things that we'd do together. I can't figure out why he doesn't love me back, we've been together for 10 months already, I've said the three words sentence but he never says it back.

"Alec?", Magnus says bringing me back to reality.

"Um sorry what?"

"I've been calling you for 4 times already, didn't know you were so fond of the credits", he says sarcastically.

"Yeah, uh sorry"

"What were you thinking about?", he asks sitting up and I do the same as I answer.

"Us"

"Didn't know you were so into the United States"

"Don't be silly", I says rolling my eyes with a soft smile.

I sigh," It's just that I was thinking about how you still haven't said it back", he sighs, "I mean, we both know how I was before. Why did you bother to teared all of my walls down, now I feel faceless in the crowd. So tell me, is this real? Cause I can't help but feel like I'm heading for a heart-ache. Magnus look at me", I say raising his head," I don't want to pressure you but I mean, imagine I'm a picture you paint, will I ever be missed? Would you stay if I told you my love wouldn't change if your hair turns grey? If you gain a little weight?"

I knew I was heading for a heart-ache but I'm still not giving up. I need to know.

"Magnus?", I push. He was out of words at the moment and as soon as the next words left him I utterly wished I hadn't pushed that far, I wished to go back in time and not have said those words. I wished for the impossible but I knew that nothing could help me. Nothing could help relieve the emptiness I felt then.

"Alec, we should take a break"
