"Al-Alexander wait" Alec rushed past him and out of the door, seething angrily.
"You need it more", Pascal crooned, handing his beer to Magnus. Magnus took a long swig and ran after Alec. "Good luck!" Pascal bellowed before heading to the kitchen for a few vodka shots.
"Alexander, Alexander! ALEC!" Magnus yelled. Finally catching up to him. "Alexander please," Magnus panted taking a deep breath, "Just listen for a second"
"Why, don't you think I have something more important to do?" Alec barked.
"As a matter of fact you probably do since we haven't been on a date in almost three weeks!" Magnus hissed.
"I'm the head of the institute Magnus, I have more responsibility now I don't have time to constantly go out to dinner" He howled, drawing the attention from a few onlookers.
"That's my point Alexander!" Magnus huffed, "If you don't have time to go on dates then will you have time to comfort me when a good friend dies? If I get hurt? When I need help" Magnus exclaimed. Alec stared at him slack jawed as realization dawned on him. If he couldn't spare two or three hours now, would he be able to when it really mattered?
For a while, the two stood in silence, looking upon the other until Alec decided to break the silence.
"Magnus, listen" he said taking a deep breath and took Magnus' hands into his own, "We both said that we were going to put effort into this relationship and I have not been doing that, I am so, so sorry. Pascal was right. You deserve the universe, and I haven't been giving you that. Please, give me another chance, I want this".
"Of course Alexander, I want this too." Magnus purred as he leaned up to kiss his angel.
