Alec walked into the Institute library where he knew Magnus would be waiting.
"Thanks for coming" he announced as he walked in. Magnus turned around from the window to look at him.
"You make it sound very formal; I thought you wanted to meet with me personally"
"I do"
"Then am I in trouble Alexander?"
"Magnus please, I told you not to call me that"
"Alec, what's the matter?"
"Sit down" he said, exhaling deeply, then walked to the love seat in the corner near the fireplace, Magnus sat down next to him.
"Are you ok Alec?"
"I'm fine, it's just…I want you to make me immortal"
"Alexander I…" seeing Alec's expression he corrected himself, "Alec, have you thought about this?"
"Yes I have, I've thought long and hard, and I know what I want, I want to spend eternity with you" he told him as he took Magnus' hands in his. Magnus sighed and then spoke.
"Very well, but let me tell you a story first, and if you still want me to make you immortal after, then I will"
"What's the story about?"
"If I told you, you might not want to hear it" Magnus told him, standing up
"Is it about Will?" Alec gasped
"Just let me tell you the story"
"Fine" Alec sat back into the love seat, crossed his arms over his chest, and listened to Magnus' story of immortal love.
"It all began the day William and Tessa came to me asking me to make them immortal" Magnus began.
"Will was a Shadowhunter right? That would make him a Silent Brother" Alec interrupted.
"Yes Will was a Shadowhunter and Tessa was a half warlock"
"But half warlocks…" Alec began, but then was cut off suddenly by Magnus putting a silence spell on his mouth.
"Alec please let me finish, will you be quiet?" Alec, not happy with what Magnus had done, nodded, and Magnus reluctantly took the gagging spell off him.
"Thank you. Now I had warned them previously about the dangers of immortality, but they insisted" Magnus shook his head disapprovingly
"What happened?"
"Well Tessa's spell worked fine, because of her warlock blood, but William…"
Alec could see that this was hurting Magnus, talking about it, he stood and took Magnus' hands in his.
"Its ok if you can't finish, I think I know what happened"
"No I want to finish, you have to hear this"
"Ok I'm listening" Alec told him. Magnus took a deep breath and continued.
"To go through with an immortality spell, you have to be physically and mentally ready for it, and William was not"
"Why not?"
"Because of the darkness inside of him, and because he was only half Nephilim"
"Half Nephilim? One of his parents was a mundane? But that's forbidden!"
"I know, and even though Nephilim blood is dominant, it still matters with an immortality spell"
"So he didn't become a Silent Brother?"
"No, he did not, at least not completely"
"Then what did he become?" Magnus didn't answer him, instead he put his hand inside his metallic red waistcoat and pulled out a fluffy fluoro green journal. It was an antique leather bound journal on the inside with a fluffy green cover on the outside. Alec tried to hold back his laughter.
"What is that?"
"It's my diary"
"You keep a diary?"
"Of course I do" Magnus almost looked offended
"And of course its fluoro green and fluffy"
Magnus flicked through some entries and came to the right page,
"Ah here we go" he said as he opened the page right up and turned it around so Alec could see it, he gave it to him.
"What is this?"
"I want you to read it"
