Sorry sorry sorry! I'm so sorry I haven't been updating at all it's just that I've had a lot going on. At the end of April I had testing, during May I was at school everyday till seven rehearsing for the school play, and I've been just cramming to get everything done this month including finals and all this other stuff. I know this isn't really the best excuse for why I haven't updated in forever but it's all I got. Anyway, I'm back! I'm going to be updating more frequently [I'm planning on uploading another chapter tomorrow] and just trying to make this story great. I can tell you that this story will be a lot better because from the time I've had to spare I've been working on my writing and I've become a more defined writer and I can't wait for you guys to see what I've done to my writing. Thank you for not abandoning this story, it means a lot to me that you kept following and favoriting this even though I've been crap at updating. So to all of you, thank you! Also, if I fall behind on writing this again, PM me and say to write the chapter [be as harsh as you want]. Sorry if this chapter isn't very good, I'm not good at writing in Magnus's perspective so it's hard to make a really great chapter. Enough of this, I'm just going to say review or PM me if you have anything you want to discuss with me and I'll talk to you and if you like this favorite or follow! Thanks for reading this and on to the story!
DISCLAIMER- I DO NOT OWN THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS OF COOPER UNION OR ANYTHING
The boy, Alec, has been in Magnus's head more then glitter has. Every time he closes his eyes he sees that most gorgeous creations face. Every time he looks at the color blue he sees that boys brilliant eyes. He truly was something out of the ordinary. No harm could happen to the boy, ever. This boy was in Magnus's definition, an angel; too pure and good to be in this world. Yet, the boy existed [much to Magnus's pleasure] and Magnus knew that gods fine gift to the world walked upon the ground that he to walked on. And he was determined to find that divine creature before he died.
Staring into Alec's eyes; blue and shimmering like the ocean. Slowly looking down at Alec's lips; bowed and tinted a dashing shade of pink. Lingering over the boys figure, looking at his slender neck, and his thin torso. Every part of him; perfect. The way his boy was so thin, like any move you made would break him. He was fragile, and no matter what happened no one could let this boy break.
"Magnus, you thinking about your blue-eyed beauty again?" asked Catarina
"Hm...what?" said Magnus, as he slipped out of his daydream about Alec
Catarina rolled her eyes and spoke,"I said are you thinking of the blue eyed cutie pie?"
"My dear Catarina, of course I'm thinking of him." Magnus replied
"Why did I even ask?"
"Because you obviously want to know more about this angel."
"Magnus-"
"He has these eyes, these beautiful, beautiful eyes. Also, his cheekbones. Those cheekbones could cut a man. Don't get me started on his abs."
"I get it, he's breathtaking. Can we not talk about him though? I know more about him at this point then I know you." Catarina said with disinterest
"But, can't you just support a friend by letting him swoon over a divine creature called Alec Lightwood?"
Catarina looked up, "Wait...this man you've been lovesick overs name is Alec Lightwood?"
"Yes..?"
"I know him!"
"You know him?!" Magnus said in alarm
"Yeah, his families friends with mine." replied Catarina
"Would you introduce me?" Magnus asked
"I don't know Mag, from what I've seen of Alec he's very shy."
"Then we'll break him out of his shell! This is fantastic news!"
"Mag, he doesn't speak to anyone, ever; and my families known him for a few years"
"My dear kitty Cat, I'll work these things out later. For know I just have to meet him"
Catarina rolled her eyes again, "Alright, I'll set something up."
Magnus squealed, "Fantastic!"
Catarina spoke, "Now can we move on to a different subject?"
"Alright" replied Magnus
That night Magnus was in a daze. He knew he was being stupid for having a school girl crush on someone who he only dreamt about. But, yet Magnus couldn't help it. Something about his boy was truly breathtaking and it made Magnus feel this way. It was like this boy was casting a spell on him. But, he'd get to meet him soon. Magnus could finally find out who Alec Lightwood truly was.
And Magnus couldn't wait.
Alec made his way up to the hill to where Magnus stood on the pathway overlooking the tent. He was leaning against a tree, hands in his pockets, and Alec joined him to watch as Simon, looking as bewildered as a new born ducking, was swarmed by friends: Jace and Maia and Luke, even Jocelyn, crying with happiness as she hugged him, smearing her makeup. Only Isabelle stood apart from the group, her hands clasped in front of her, her face almost expressionless.
"You'd almost think she didn't care" said Alec as Magnus reached out to straighten his tie. Magnus had helped him pick out the suit he was wearing, and was very proud of the fact that it had a slender stripe of blue that brought out Alec's eyes."But I'm pretty sure she does."
"You're correct," Magnus said. "She cares too much; that's why she's standing apart."
"I would ask you what you did, but I'm not sure I want to know," Alec said, leaning his back against Magnus, taking comfort in the solid warmth of the body behind him. Magnus put his chin down on Alec's shoulder, and for a moment they stood motionless together, looking down at the tent and the scene of the happy chaos below. "It was good of you."
"You make the choice you have to make at the time," Magnus said in his ear. "You hope for no consequences, or no serious ones."
"You don't think you father will be angry do you?" Alec said, and Magnus laughed dryly.
"He has a great deal more to pay attention to than me," Magnus said. "What about you? I saw you talking to Robert."
Alec felt Magnus's posture tense as he repeated what his father had told him. "You know, I would not have guessed that," Magnus said when Alec was done. "And I've met Michael Wayland." Alec felt him shrug. "Goes to show. 'The heart id forever inexperienced' and all that."
"What do you think? Should I forgive hi,?"
"I think what he told you was an explanation, but it wasn't an excuse for how he behaved. If you forgive him, do it for yourself, not for him. It's a waste of your time to be angry," Magnus said, "when you're one of the most loving people I've known."
"Is that why you forgave? For me, or you?" Alec said, not angry, just curious.
"I forgive you because I love you and I hate being without you. I hate it, my cat hates it. And because Catarina convinced me I was being stupid."
"Mmm. I like her."
Magnus's hand reached around Alec and flattened against his chest, as if he were feeling for his heartbeat. "And you forgive me," he said. "For not being able to make you immortal, or end my own immortality."
"There's nothing to forgive," Alec said. "I don't want to live forever." He laid one of his hands over Magnus's, twining their fingers together. "We might not have that much time," said Alec. "I'll get old and I'll die. But I promise I won't leave you until then. It's the only process I can make."
"A lot of shadow hunters don't get old," Magnus said. Alec could feel the thrum of his pulse. It was strange, Magnus like this, without the words that usually came to him so easily.
Alec turned around in Magnus's embrace so that they faced each other, taking in all the entails that he never got tired of: the sharp bones of Magnus's face, the gold-green of his eyes, the mouth that always seemed about to smile, though he looked worried now. "Even if it were just days, I want to spend them all with you. Does that mean anything?"
"Yes," Magnus said. "It means that from now on we make every day matter."
Magnus woke up to the sound of a phone, and peered at the alarm clock, 7:13 a.m, and groaned, "Who would be calling me at this godforsaken time?"
With a rather sluggish motion Magnus got up to answer the phone, "Hello?" he said in a groggy voice [with a bit of annoyance]
"Magnus?" asked the speaker, who Magnus figured out was Catarina
"What do you want Catarina?"
"I talked to the Lightwoods."
Magnus suddenly got more excited, "What about them?"
"I can't get them to do something for you to meet Alec."
Magnus let out a sigh and lied back down on his bed, "What?"
"Yeah, Alec's starting college and they don't want him to be distracted by anything." said Catarina
Magnus groaned, "Ugh, parents these days."
"I know right?" replied Catarina
"How am I going to meet him now?" asked Magnus
Catarina sighed, "I don't know. Sorry Mag."
"It's alright."said Magnus
"Talk to you later?" asked Catarina
"Alright." Magnus said, with a little hesitance in his voice."
"Okay, bye"
"Bye darling."
Magnus lied in bed thinking; he would never see this boy
Magnus's alarm clocked blared through the house, this time waking him up at the proper time. Slowly Magnus got up [which was a travesty; he had to leave his nice warm bed to get ready for school] and got dressed. It was just like the last three years; waking up an hour and a half before Magnus's classes started at college to get ready. The system worked. And at 11:30, Magnus was ready to go to school. Magnus walked to the train and took it till he got to the East Village, and 20 minutes later there Magnus was, Cooper Union for his final year of college. He walked through the doors of the school and went to the office.
"I'm back!" yelled Magnus, getting everybody's attention
"Magnus! We missed you!" replied the students there
"Darling of course you did!" replied Magnus
"Tell me about your summer!" squealed the student
"Eventful; went to Italy for the summer and worked for some designers, you know just like every summer."
"That's awesome!"
"How was yours my dearest?" asked Magnus
"Fine, but not as nice as yours." said the girl
Magnus smiled down at the girl, "Anyway, I just came here to get my schedule and work out all this school stuff."
"Of course," replied the girl, "Here's all you paperwork. Have a nice day!"
"You know it! yelled Magnus
The girl mumbled, "That silly boy."
And minutes later another boy walked in, "Hi, my name is Alexander Lightwood. I'm new and I was wondering if someone could help me..."
