Chapter 2

Magnus's POV

Today will be a good day, today has to be a good day.

Magnus stared at himself in the mirror as he put the final touches onto his already very glittery hair. It had to look perfect. You cannot have a good day without fabulous hair, that was Magnus's belief anyway. Once he had finally finished his hair he gave himself a quick once over to check that he was looking up to his exceptionally high standards. He was.

Magnus opened him rainbow umbrella up with a sigh, as much as he loved the umbrella he hated the reason for its use. Magnus was not a fan of rain, it was wet and cold and just generally unpleasant and of course more often then not it ruined his hair. But today was not going to be a hair ruining day Magnus decided as he set off towards the center of Brooklyn. Usually Magnus was stick his headphones on and blat Adam Lambert but today something was different Magnus didn't want to block out the world around him. He wanted to walk around the city that he was so familiar with and yet just a stranger in.

After about 10 minutes of walking Magnus noticed a small shop nestled between two large buildings. He decided to go have a look, its not like he had anything better to do anyway... Magnus shivered as he walked up to the worn blue door. He opened in and hear a small tinkle of a bell. Once inside the building, he discovered that it was a bookshop. Magnus felt a smile growing on his face, he had always felt comfortable in bookshops. He didn't really know why, its not like he was a big reader but he loved stories and a bookshop was somewhere where he could just sit and imagine without being judged.

As Magnus sauntered forward to the counter, he suddenly notice a figure leaning against the side of the counter staring at time. The boy was stunning. He had the darkest hair Magnus had ever seen with strands reaching to cover one of the boys stunningly blue eyes. He was tall not quite as tall as Magnus's 6 foot 4 but not far of. When the boy shifted uncomfortably Magnus realized that he had been staring.

Probably because he is drop dead gorgeous. Far hotter than Camille...

The boy had walked around to stand behind the counter and was staring at Magnus expectantly. Magnus smiled. The boy cleared his throat and asked Magnus in a bored voice "is their anything I can help you with?", Magnus was certain that the boy didn't mean to be rude and it was just the tiredness talking, because.. god.. the boy looked tired.

Even the bags under his eyes don't make him look worse.. if anything they highlight the contrast between his hair, skin and eyes..

Magnus smiled again at the boy and said in his most friendly voice "have you got any book recommendations, darling?"

The boy flushed and looked away, when he looked back his face was blank, he gestured to the pile on the side of the counter marked recommendations, "you can read cant you and i know you can see"

Alec Pov

Sorry what did he just say? Did he just call me darling, i don't even know the man! ... Does it really matter, honestly, right now I just want to close my eyes and not wake up. I'm so tired. So tired of sleepless nights, of being alone, of being me.

Alec turned away and recollected his emotions which where starting to spread across his face. He signed and just decided to get this conversation over and down with quickly so gave a harsh and frankly rude reply. He hoped that this would deter the guy, but from the look on his face it clearly didn't. He just said, "Yes well I did notice it but I wanted an excuse to talk to you. Also Twilight, really, I mean its a guilty pleasure of mine but I would hardly put it on a list of recommendations", Alec tried to hold back the re-emerging blush but this time he failed to conceal it, he also failed to stop a small smile appearing on his face. "I have to say that Twilight wasn't my choice, its in Clary's pile", the man frowned and Alec started to ramble "Clary, she's my co worker, nice girl, red hair, green eyes,bit nosy"

Alec shut up what are you doing! stop getting all flustered and tell him to bugger off.

But Alec's mouth disobeyed his mined and the man made no move to stop him. In fact he almost seemed to be enjoying Alec's rambling, even if it was an random ramble of nervous words. When Alec finally had to stop to gasp for breath the man interjected "wow... that was detailed, darling. I'm Magnus by the way and you are?"

"Alec" he stuttered suddenly nervous after his outburst of random words and opinions

"Interesting name Alec, it suits you" Magnus said with a wink.

Alec blushed.

Wow hes hot, very hot, even his name is hot. Alec stop it NOW. stop fouling yourself into thinking his interested in you, he's probably not even gay and just making fun of you!

Alec's thoughts being to show on his face, his steadily growing smile started to fall making way for a blank expression, "its short for Alexander", he said in a faltering voice, "now is their anything I can help you with because i have lots to do as you can see"

Magnus smirked "yes, an empty bookshop its a lot a work, sorry that came out a bit harsh, if you want to be left alone i'll do just that", with that he turned and went to look at the classics section.

Alec was torn, on the one had the man, Magnus, was captivating and genuinely seemed like a caring person, who Alec had been unnecessarily rude to, on the other hand Alec really didn't need anyone getting involved in his life. It was messy enough anyway, no need to fuck it up even more. But Alec's interest in the man won. He took a deep breath and awkwardly walked over to Magnus, hoping that at least some coherent sentences would come out of his mouth.
