"I'm tired of you only wanting me around when you need something. I'm tired of watching you be in love with someone else – someone, incidentally, who will never love you back. Not the way I do."
"You love me?" Alec stuttered completely at a loss for words. A little voice in his head roared with happiness.
Magnus glared daggers, blue sparks shooting from his finger tips as he jabbed his finger into Alec's Shadowhunter gear, leaving a burn mark.
"You stupid Nephilim…" He began but Alec was faster, without thinking he cut off his lips in a kiss. Magnus didn't have time to react before he stepped back wide eyed. Alec put a finger to his lips and said a little hoarsely and out of breath.
"Jace was right you know." Alec thought out loud, Jace's words echoed in his head like a broken record.
Magnus who was still trying to recover from the surprise kiss. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Alec with disbelief. "You kiss me and you're still thinking of that blonde…"
"Shut up before I have to kiss you again and listen to me." Alec said stepping closer so their lips were almost touching. Magnus turned his head but didn't move away.
Alec took a deep breath and put both of his hands on either side of Magnus' face, forcing the older man to look into his eyes, Blazing blue on Electrifying green. He began softly, so quiet that Magnus was forced to lean in.
"Jace told me what I really felt about him was only because he was safe, an excuse to not try for a real relationship. I was scared of letting everyone know who I really love." Alec stammered all in one breathe.
Magnus raised his eyebrows. "I'd like to know the answer to that question too."
Alec leaned his forehead against him, closing his eyes taking a deep breath and started off slower.
"He asked me to kiss him…" Magnus made a low noise in his throat which sounded like a growl that would even put a werewolf to shame. Alec smiled faintly and began again, ignoring the interruption.
"And I realized something, when he asked me to kiss him, the thought of it made me sick. Horrified really." He added sheepishly.
Magnus crossed his arms clearly not happy with where this conversation was going.
Alec kept going. "And I refused even though it was something I've dreamed of doing forever. I thought that once I kissed him I would really know for sure if I he was the one I loved."
"Then you don't love him?" Magnus asked skeptically.
Alec shook his head. "Not like the way I feel about you. The thought of kissing him disgusted me but the thought of kissing you…"
This time it was Magnus who cut him off with a kiss. Alec grabbed him by the waist pulling him closer. Magnus murmured something against his lips along the lines of "Stupid nephilim". The kiss was exciting and full of heat, like in the midst of a battle Alec could feel his adrenaline pumping.
It was over to soon as Magnus groaned loudly and pulled himself away from the shadowhunter and gestured around them. A dozen or more Ilbis demons had surrounded them in a half circle, eyes ablaze.
Alec gave an amused grin at the warlock already shooting blue spears of fire at their unwanted guests.
"Tell you what, when this is over I'll introduce you to my whole family. If we live that is." Alec said throwing one of his seraph knifes in between the eyes of an oncoming demon.
Magnus swept his hands in an arc creating a huge wall of bright sparkling blue fire, his cat like eyes shining in the reflection of the fire, he grinned,
"It's a deal."
