CHAPTER 2:
We were on the plane to Dublin, Ireland to see Hailey and Sarah. We technically were not supposed to be on this flight but I zapped Alec and I into empty seats. It's not like anyone was using them. I was excited to see Hailey. She was one of the few girlfriends (or boyfriends) that I parted with on good terms. It had been sixty years since I had seen her but when you were eight hundred years old, or in her case, one thousand one hundred years old, double digit years blur together. Hailey and I were only a thing for about a year, the equivalent of a one night stand. It was a big mistake. She had always wanted a little brother and I filled that position rather quickly, making our physical relationship come to an end. That is when she found Sarah…her own Alec.
I hadn't realized that Alec spoke until he put his hand on my shoulder looking at me with his big blue eyes. "Are you alright, Magnus?"
"Why yes, Alexander. I just cannot wait to see Hailey and Sarah again. They are so cute together. Hailey's golden blonde hair and green eyes with a little bit of gold in them and Sarah's auburn red hair and milk chocolate eyes with red flecks in them complement each other so well."
"Magnus, why are we going to Ireland and who are Hailey and Sarah?"
"My dear Alexander, Hailey and Sarah are a witch/shadowhunter couple that has been together for seven hundred and fifty years."
"How…is that even possible…she should be dead…I don't understand…Magnus…that is impossible."
"Alec, you haven't known me very long but you have known me long enough to know that nothing is impossible. I have no idea how Hailey has done it, but somehow she has been able to preserve Sarah for seven hundred and fifty years."
"And why do we need to see them right now if they have been around for hundreds of years? It doesn't sound like they are going anywhere any time soon."
"Oh, Alec, you are so young. I want to start our forever as soon as possible."
And with that I leaned into him and planted a long, drawn out kiss straight on his mouth. I felt him start to pull back to say something so I leaned in closer, not allowing him to end our kiss. But he put his hands on my shoulders and leaned back just far enough to not be kissing but to where our foreheads could still touch. "I was going to say, 'I love you', if you would just be patient." And with that I went right back to kissing him, after a while someone cleared their throat loud enough to distract me from Alec's full lips. We both chuckled. Alec lifted up the seat dividers and cuddled up to me and slowly fell asleep and slept until we finally reached Dublin.
