Chapter 3- Restless

Alec's POV

The night was almost impossible to endure alone. To spend one more night, one more hour, one more minute without his Magnus was one torture that he felt that he could not endure. He'd spent the day getting ready to meet his lovers gaze, to see his smile widen and magnify at the sight of it- another disappointment would kill him. I'd see him tomorrow, he told himself, everything will be okay.

He missed the warmth of his body that brushed against his bare skin, the cool breath against his throat, his long arms across his chest. One more day and he would greet his warm, inviting eyes that shone brighter than the brightest star. He'd greet the luscious hair that would be spiked to perfection in earnest, but most of all; he'd greet the glorious glitter that accompanied them everywhere, that showered them with their colours, warmth and love.

Mmm, Magnus, he thought. His Magnus, who would always be there for him, who'd never let him down, who'd always wear his heart.

He smiled in longing.

Just one more day.

Magnus' POV

The phone slammed against the farther wall with such force that chairman Meow jumped awake and ran angrily - and more than a little anxious - across the room. Damn that restaurant- "Damn it to hell!"

The past month had flown quickly. Too quickly, as if it were a day dream floating by. He'd never before known such pleasure as that he had shared with Alexander: his little shadowhunter, so innocent and so young. One more day. That's all he'd allow himself, just one more day.

Heartache gripped him then and threatened to overpower him; where he wandered for the hundredth time that night just how could he have the strength to do this.

To carry it out and never look back.

Just one more day.

AN: Short I know, but as I said, the first few chapters are just building the story up. Plus I love suspense :D. Thanks to all you guys for reviewing my work, and remember if you want to say or asking anything about the fanfic, just review or PM.
