When Alec woke up the next day, he had a few moments of peaceful bliss - but of course he had to remember what had happened the night before. It had been days since he had been home, and he doubted he actually had anything to eat, but decided to check the kitchen before spending money on food. It was just as he had thought - the apartment was completely void of any food he could actually have for breakfast. He had put on some clothes as he got out of bed. The first pair of black jeans and the first t-shirt he found in his closet. He never checked the mirror. He knew that his hair was just like it always was, and he had learned to live with that. He never used make-up anyway, so why use any now?

He decided to have breakfast at a nearby café. It was only two blocks away, so he could easily walk there. He sat down in one of the steel chairs outside when he had ordered his food - scrambled eggs, toast and bacon and a black cup of coffee - and started reading a newspaper he had found inside. He did like the fresh air in the morning, and it was a great little café, but it was a little too expensive, so he never went there.

"So you do eat."

He nearly jumped a feet from his chair and spilled his coffee and he quickly looked in the direction the voice came from. It was hard for him not to smile when he saw him, but he couldn't let himself. Not after what happened between him and Scott the evening before.

"Magnus ... You live around here?"

Alec faintly remembered Magnus telling him he lived in the middle of town, which couldn't be too far away from here. Magnus lit up in a grin and decided to sit on the chair opposite of Alec.

"Do you jump everytime people talk to you? I don't think I've spoken to you a single time where you didn't jump like that."

"Uh.. No.. Sorry. I just didn't expect you to see you here."

"What? You're not happy to see me?"

Magnus acted insulted, but it was obvious he was trying hard not to laugh. Alec couldn't force his smile back for much longer, so he decided to finish his coffee quickly. He didn't want to admit to Magnus how cute he actually was, when he was being childish like that.

"I kind of have to go.."

"Oh, no you don't. You left me out on the balcony last night. What was that about anyway?"

Alec sunk back into his seat, trying hard to not sigh. He knew this was gonna be brought up. He expected it to be.

"You know, your eyes are all red," Magnus said, looking closer at him. Alec looked down on the newspaper laying in his lap, trying to hide his eyes behind his bangs - but for the first time in years his bangs decided not to fall down in his face. Stupid hair.

"Are you okay, Alexander?"

"Alec. Please call me Alec."

Magnus looked at him, surprised at the change of topic, but got the point that Alec wasn't going to talk to him about it.

"But Alexander sounds so-"

"You think it sounds sexy. But whenever I hear it, I'm afraid I'm gonna get yelled at."

Magnus sighed, but smiled at him, and shook his head slowly. "Sorry, either I call you Alexander or I can't talk to you. I mean, don't you here it? Alexander is so sexy. Crying out Alexander in bed would be so perfect."

Alec blinked twice fast. He had to admit that the way Magnus said his name was.. sexy. He looked away and without looking at his own reflection knew, that his face was a dark, crimson red. He hated his blush. How could Magnus manage to say his name so goddamn special, making him want to just jump over the table and kiss him?

Alec realised in horror what he had just been thinking about and looked everywhere else but at Magnus. He had a boyfriend, and he wouldn't cheat on him. No matter what he thought.

"So, Alexander," - Magnus drawed out his name - "Why aren't you here with Scott?"

Alec started biting nervously in his bottom lip. He couldn't help but notice Magnus' eyes darting to his lips.

"That doesn't matter."

Magnus' eyes went back to Alecs after staring at his lips for a couple second, and those green eyes wouldn't leave Alec's soul alone at that moment. Or at least that's what Alec felt like.

"Did you fight?"

Alec shrugged his shoulders half-heartedly and tried avoiding those green eyes. He wasn't going to answer him, not with an actual answer. He wasn't supposed to know about his and Scott's private life. So he got up, turned around and was going to leave, when he was stopped by and hand on his shoulder.

Magnus turned him around so he was facing him, and he leaned in to kiss him.

A million things went through Alec's mind in that second. What about Scott? What would happen if he found out? Was Alec going to tell him? Was Magnus going to? But what was the chances of Scott finding out? How were they going to hide it? What excuses could he use to go out with Magnus? What if anyone he knew saw them?

But he found himself not caring about Scott just then, and his lips collided with Magnus' and they, first gently, started moving together, soon more rough. Magnus' hand was still on his shoulder, the other one on Alec's side. Alec's hand was on Magnus' arm, the other one hanging down his side.

Alec tried not to moan out loud as Magnus softly bit his bottom lip, and Magnus used that moment to slip his tongue into Alec's mouth. For every kiss, Alec got a little more lightheaded, and he was brought back to reality, when he realized he needed air. He placed one of his hands on Magnus' chest, softly pushing him away.

They stared at each other for a long time after that. They both knew what it meant.

"I don't want to cheat on him," Alec whispered, almost tearing up. Magnus' hand brushed a little hair away from his face. He nodded slowly, keeping eyecontact with Alec through the tears. "I don't want to be like that, Magnus."

"I'm afraid the only alternative is breaking up with him."

Alec was again biting on his bottom lip, anything but happy about the decision he had just made. He felt like going home and crying once again, but this time he couldn't run away. Not from Magnus.

They sat down in the chairs again while Alec was trying to calm himself. Magnus tried to calm him.

But Alec wasn't able to relax, not then, not there, and not with him. He just couldn't.

When Alec walked into Magnus apartment, he still wasn't calm. He tried sitting in the pink fur couch - which he barely noticed. He tried drinking some water. He even tried just sitting with Magnus for a little time, watching TV, thinking about anything but what a horrible person he was.

That was when Magnus got a great idea.

"Why don't you try drinking a little bit? It usually relaxes you, and it doesn't have to be a lot. Just one drink."

Alec agreed after a couple of restless minutes, and Magnus got him some kind of drink that basically looked like coke, only a little brighter in the colour. He drank it slowly and felt himself starting to relax.

When he kissed Magnus, Magnus had been laying on the couch next to him, watching some movie Alec hadn't seen before. He had been surprised, but nonetheless kissed him back, and soon none of them had a clue what was happening around them. Time seemed to stand still, as they laid on the couch together.

When the sun started to set outside the windows, removing the small amounts of light in an already dark apartment, Alec decided it was time to go home. He had kissed Magnus goodbye and continued walking out of the apartment, after telling Magnus he didn't need to drive him home - he could walk just fine and he needed the fresh air.

Only, when he got home, he felt a presence in the small apartment. He was sure he wasn't alone, and when he walked into the livingroom, someone was sitting in the chair facing the door he just entered through. He felt his heart drop.

"Hey Scott."

AN: Okaaaay.. So this chapter sucked. Sorry about that.

It's short. Ish. Sorry.

It was poorly written. Sorry.

There wasn't enough details in most of it, and in the rest there was too many. Sorry.

So yes, it sucked. Sorry. Okay, I'll stop saying sorry..

I tried rewriting this about a hundred times, because this chapter needed to be there, but this is the best - and longest - it got. I hope you don't hate it too much, but with this - really bad - chapter comes a new idea!

So I was thinking.. What would you guys think about if I started writing my chapters from a single word or sentence? I was thinking that you guys could review the latest chapter and write a new word or sentence for the next chapter. Then I'll choose from the few words I get, or just write them down and pick one at random. And then the word I chose for the chapter will be the chapter title. I was just thinking that maybe some of the things I write about are too obvious and not challenging - so you guys can help me with that!

So what do you guys think of the idea? Review and give me your opinion! And if you think it's a good idea, put a word or sentence in the review. Not too long, though.

Thanks for all the reviews I got on the last chapters, I really love you guys! ... This AN are turning out to be as long as the story, omg. Sorry. Wait-no-sorry ... crap. I was gonna stop saying sorry.

Okay, I'm just gonna go now, 'cause I'm rambling. Hope it wasn't too shitty.
