The Proposal

(no one's point of view)

Alec had no idea what was happening. All Magnus had explained to him was to meet him in this meadow. So many thoughts were running through his head and most of them were frightening because he never knew the answer. Why had Magnus asked him here? Was he going to breakup with him? Why, if he was going to breakup with him, and because of what? Did he say the wrong thing? Worn clashing clothes? Ugh, Alec was so confused and wished Magnus appeared to at least tell him what he did wrong so he wouldn't be left to ponder these questions in unbearable silence and in a very beautiful setting. There was a large lake-as blue and as crystal looking as a sapphire-; the grass and trees were so luscious and green-it was like the trees were a big green canopy and the grass was made out of teddy bears-; it was so unreal looking- like a meadow out of a fairytale or picture.

Only Magnus would take him somewhere that looked this fantastic, which reminded him of the question of how he got there. One minute he was asleep in his bed, the next he woke up because of a loud crash-more like a gunshot-and was fully dressed standing in the middle of a meadow. While in the middle of walking away, his eyes spied a note lying on a rock. Picking it up slowly he began reading it but to his disappointment, the note demanded he stayed where he was and was addressed by a secret admirer. The note had a postscript telling Alec to look up into the tree canopy. Doing as was directed, Alec looked up and, to his astonishment, saw something truly breathtaking.

Magnus was on a beautiful unicorn, covered in glitter, and portraying a straight face. Fearing the worst of his thoughts, Alec decided that if Magnus was riding a unicorn to breakup with him so he could easily ride away, then Alec was going to end it with him first. Walking up to Magnus feeling upset and furious, Alec began screaming curse words at the top of his lungs, the pain becoming more and more unbearable with each step. Finally approaching Magnus, Alec started calming down enough to ask a real question only to answer it himself.

"What's this all about Magnus? Oh, wait, I already know!" Alec said in a steel-like voice.

"You do?" Magnus exclaimed with dread in his voice. "But I was so secretive and so careful about not dropping clues or hints. How did you find out anyway? Was it Isabelle that told you? Or Clary? Tell me it wasn't that awful downworlder what's-his-face..."

"No, I figured it all out on my own and I never wanted to be with a glitter-crazed maniac for the rest of my life anyway so you can say that you broke-up with me" and with that, Alec stormed away but was stopped at the edge of the trees by someone he really wished wasn't there.

"But...but Alec..."

"Save it Magnus, he's obviously too stupid to listen to what you have to say."

"No, he is going to listen to me whether he likes it or not." And with that, Magnus snapped his fingers and Alec appeared, clearly upset and confused.

"Now, Alec, we are going to have a little chit chat and any unwelcomed visitors are going to be snapped away." After another snap, Alec tried to speak but it was just complete and utter silence. A few minutes had passed and then Magnus began speaking again.

"Alec, what on earth possessed you to run off like that?"

"Magnus, you mean you don't know! You really don't know! Gee Magnus, I thought you would be smarter than that and at least have the decency to know what you did. "

MAGNUS POV MAGNUS POV MAGNUS POV

(what's going on inside his head)

Oh, my, what did I do? I was so careful to try and let nothing about proposing to him slip. Oh how did he find out? It was probably Jace who told him. Ugh, shadowhunters and their parabati are such gossipers. Warlocks on the other hand are quiet, mysterious, and reserved. Not to mention reliable and dependable but that's a whole other subject I don't have the time to get into at the moment. Speaking of which, I wouldn't have expected Alec to be this upset over marrying me. I thought he would absolutely love to marry the magnificent High Warlock of Brooklyn.

"Where are you getting to, Alec?"

"You are breaking up with me aren't you? I mean talking to everybody except me, avoiding me, and I guess you just don't care about me anymore. I'm going to make this easier on everyone right now when I say, WE ARE OVER."

"O...o...over? But...but...but Alec..."

"No, no buts. We are over that is final." And with that he walked a few steps away before being magic ked back next to Magnus, whose eyes had glazed over and a scowl on his face.

"Alexander Lightwood, why the hell do you think that I would break up with you? You truly don't know anything about the way I feel about you but surely you don't feel the same way I do. I came here on a happy mission but now, you transformed it into hatred. You are obviously a blundering idiot who has no clue about anything in the world, especially wardrobe choices, and now I won't tell you why I came here. I'll let Jace tell you himself since you two are 'brothers' and then let the guilt eat at you while you rot in hell and I'm laughing at you from up above. I love you but if you are breaking up with me because you love Jace then go ahead. I can't love someone who loves someone else."
