What is this? She's updating? Again? For the second time in like two days?! She's alive? All right, who took over Lindsey and replaced her with this monster who actually likes to update often?

Well, I know this chapter isn't as long as you were probably hoping for, (a little over 1000, counting the ANs) or as I wanted. But I really do hope you like it! I didn't want to disappoint anyone. I'm now going to sit here, wait for reviews, and pace around all nervous until someone says they like it (so I may be here forever!).

Please leave me a review, but no flames, please. If you don't like it, then either review and suggest what you think I should change/do, or don't read this anymore and don't bother to review. One boy last year actually killed himself because of all the bullying on here. I cried when I heard that. It's so, so sad.

Thank you. ) Have a cookie! (::) (Or two.) (::) I want cookies now…:(

NOTE I usually edit my chapters myself, which I have done, but I recently got a beta reader (sort of, like I said last chapter), and she did not go over this chapter (yet).

Chapter Two:

When Magnus woke up, thankfully, Alec was still in the bed with him. He propped himself up on his elbow and gazed down at Alec's beautiful, sleeping face. He looks so calm, Magnus thought. Unlike last night.

Magnus had laid there, holding Alec, as he had promised, but he never really went to sleep. He could tell it took Alec a long time to fall asleep too. Finally, after four AM, he had drifted off into a light sleep. It was 5:46 now, and Magnus had dreamed about Alec thrashing around in his sleep, crying out for him, but he was stuck. He couldn't do a thing.

He wondered what had his amazing Shadowhunter so upset. He desperately wanted to ask him, but forced himself not to. He didn't want to scare Alec away.

Eventually he got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. He brushed his teeth, went to the bathroom, and ran a comb through his hair. He didn't feel like glamoring himself up today. He was too worried about Alec. So he went down into the kitchen, snapping himself some coffee, and set to wor.

Alec woke up with a start. He had dreamed about him again. He was teasing him this time, telling him he was an idiotic fag, that he didn't deserve to live.

He closed his eyes. He wanted to forget, not remember. But he had this nightmare frequently, unfortunately. There was nothing he could do to stop it. He felt tears sting the back of his eyes, and within seconds, just like a wildfire, they fell. He pulled his knees up and wrapped his arms around them. He didn't hear Magnus come in at first, but the next thing he knew, his arms were around him, pulling him gently onto Magnus's lap.

Magnus didn't say anything, just held him. When his tears finally slowed, Magnus asked quietly, "What happened?"

Alec hesitated. He didn't want Magnus to know, he didn't want him to leave, to think he was disgusting too. So he shook his head and said, just as quietly, "Nothing."

Magnus tightened his hold on Alec. "Darling, please," he said. "What's wrong?"

Alec bit his lip. "I had another dream," he admitted after a few moments. "It was about Jo-"

He stopped, realizing what he had been about to say.

"About who?" Magnus said, and his voice sounded a little urgent.

"No one," Alec said.

Magnus sighed. He clearly didn't believe Alec..But to give him credit, he didn't argue. "I made breakfast," he whispered against Alec's hair.

"You mean you snapped up breakfast," Alec grumbled into Magnus's shirt, peeking up at him.

The tiniest trace of a smile playing on his lips. "No,," he said, "I made breakfast. With my own hands. I mean"- he paused-" yes, I snap food up with my hands, but I made bacon, eggs, orange juice, and cookies myself."

"By hand?" Alec sat up, eyes wide. "Really? Wait, you didn't actually make the orange juice, did you?"

Magnus shrugged. "Okay, no, I used juice from carton. But I made the rest."

Alec laughed. "Why?"

Magnus shrugged again. "Because I wanted to do something nice for you, and you get upset when I steal food."

Alec smiled. "Really? That's so sweet."

Magnus kissed his forehead and stood, pulling Alec up with him. "Come on, let's go eat my fabulous cooking!" he chirped, and Alec felt himself laugh again, following his overly-excited boyfriend to the kitchen.

FIVE MINUTES LATER:

"This bacon tastes great!" Alec exclaimed.

Magnus smirked. "I know," he said.

"So I hear you'll be cooking every day now?" Alec asked, trying to stop himself from laughing.

The smirk faded quickly from Magnus's face, and was replaced with a look of horror. "no!" he cried.

Alec giggled. "I was kidding, Mags," he said.

"Oh." Magnus relaxed. "Wait, aww, Mags?"

Alerc blushed. "It just came out," he mumbled, and Magnus slid out of his seat, walking over to Alec.

"What are you-," Alec began, but was cut off by Magnus's lips on his own. He set his hands in Magnus's hair, who placed his arms around Alec's waist, pressing into him more, slipping his tongue into Alec's mouth. Alec let him and fought for dominance. He won, but they both knew it was because Magnus had let him.

Alec shoved Magnus away gently then, needing air. Breathing heavy, he whispered, "What was that for?"

Magnus didn't want to burden him with feelings he might not completely- or at all- return, so he said, "Nothing."

He loved Alec so, so much. Maybe he'd tell him soon.

Again, I hope you liked this! Leave a review, follow, whatever. :)

~Linds.

I love you all!

P.S. Just...don't expect an update this often. XD.
