It wasn't hard for Magnus to find where Alec had run off to, he's the High Warlock of Brooklyn, casting a tracking spell on Alec's clothing that he clutched tightly in his palms wasn't that hard.
He found Alec on a secluded area of a park, sitting under the small bridge of a lovely little lake, wearing a pair of slippers, his usual bland colored shirt, and faded black jeans. Alec was staring into space, hugging his knees up to his chest, shivering from the chilly weather.
Alec's head perked up the moment he heard the crunching sounds of someone stepping on dried leafs closing in to him, but relaxed once he realized it was Magnus. He buried his head down on his knees, he couldn't face Magnus, he was being an ass to him.
"Alexander..." Magnus whispered as he sit himself down next to Alec, not after snapping his fingers to summon a blanket from the loft as their seat, he do value his clothes.
Alec kept his head down on his knees and mumbled something under his breath, causing Magnus to lean in closer to hear what he said, plucking a dried leaf that had landed on his hair in the process.
"What is it, darling?" Magnus whispered as he caressed Alec's broad back with one hand. Alec immediately feels relaxed, Magnus still called him darling, meaning he's not that mad at him.
"I'm sorry for what I said back there... It was ignorant of me to assume the burden you had to endure all those years..." Alec trailed off, his throat tightened. He looks up at Magnus who was looking at the docile waves of the lake. His expression calm, yet carried tons of emotions behind it.
A light breeze washed over them and Alec couldn't help but shiver. Magnus snapped out of his trance and looked at Alec.
"Right," he said and snapped his fingers, Alec instantly had his jacket and scarf on, the slippers replaced with his boots. "I forgot." he added with a small smile.
Alec mumbled a small thank you and smiled at Magnus.
They continued to sit there, just staring into each other's eyes without saying anything in a comfortable silence, enjoying each other's company.
Alec was the first to break the distance between them because he couldn't take it, he leaned his head on Magnus' shoulder. Magnus immediately put his arm around Alec's back to pull him closer.
"So, you forgive me?" Alec whispered as he circled his long arms around Magnus' torso and leaned his head against Magnus' chest, as if he was trying to hear his heartbeat.
Magnus looked down to meet his eyes, a sweet smile tugging on the corner of his lips. "There's nothing to forgive." he stated calmly and kissed Alec's forehead. "It's me who couldn't bring myself to make you immortal, or end my own immortality." Magnus whispered into Alec soft dark locks.
"I can't let you bear the burden of losing the people you love." Magnus said as he ran his slender fingers along Alec's hair.
"That includes you." Alec mumbled onto Magnus' chest.
"I don't like seeing you in pain, love." Magnus added and sighed.
"But I have you..." Alec trailed off, casting his glance at a falcon drifting above them. "We can share the burden." he added under his breath.
The sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach at the thought of losing Magnus was coming back to him all at once, but he pushed the thought aside.
"Alexander..." Magnus was about to say something but Alec interrupted him by straddling his lap. He circled his arms around Magnus' neck and leaned his forehead down against Magnus'.
"Even if I don't get to be immortal," Alec said, looking into Magnus' beautiful eyes. "If there's another lifetime, I would never change my mind,"
Magnus looked at him puzzled for a second then Alec continued, "I would do it again, I would be with you, I will look for you, even if it took me a thousand lifetimes, I would." Alec whispered, tears began pooling in his eyes as the words escaped his lips.
Magnus' heart clenched at Alec's statement, he squeezed his eyes shut, so hard that it hurt. He, for once, was speechless because of this beautiful Shadowhunter who's sitting on his lap. His dear and sweet Shadowhunter.
"Like you said, even you can't see the future..." Alec whispered and blinked the tears away. He squeezed his eyes shut, inhaling Magnus' magical scent, the one he loves so dearly.
Magnus placed his palms on Alec's waist and looked up at his beautiful blue orbs, "Yeah, let's settle with that for now." he said.
Alec stared at Magnus' glamoured brown eyes, he loved this man so much, his lover, the man who taught him to be true to himself.
"I love you, Magnus Bane." Alec whispered with a sweet smile on his face.
"And I love you, Alexander Gideon Lightwood." Magnus replied.
Alec leaned down to place a tender kiss on Magnus' lips then pulled away after a while. "Was the middle name necessary?" he asked jokingly.
Magnus chuckled and leaned up to peck on Alec's lips. "You think?" he said with a raised eyebrow.
Alec giggled as his smile widened and he leaned down to kiss Magnus on the lips again. Magnus kissed him back, also smiling into the kiss.
They stayed there, among the rows of yellowish trees and fallen dried leafs, sheltered by the small bridge, tangled into each other's arms in the chilly weather until the sun goes down.
