Author's Note: So….I wrote this while waiting for the Glee Christmas episode to get online…I found it! (I LOVWE BLAINE AND KURT!) Anyway, Magnus's POV was requested multiple times (why I do not understand, because it was atrocious the first time) so I decided to give it another go. Granted, it may not be exactly what everyone had in mind, but I actually kind of like it. (That's a first!) :D

Disclaimer: You could by MI for me pretty please?

Alec's POV

How could someone be that oblivious? I mean, Jace and Izzy had all but said that it was him. How could Magnus not notice? And my face had to have been as red as Clary's hair! Seriously? How could he have not noticed?

Maybe he had noticed. Maybe he was just ignoring it. But why would he ignore that I…was sort of infatuated with him?

What if he didn't like me back? Then he'd be too uncomfortable to talk about it. That made so much more sense. Not that I wanted it to be true (obviously the opposite!), but at least it had some sort of logic to it.

The man made no sense.

Magnus. Logic. The two words did not mix. I'd known him for less than five month and I already knew that. So how was I supposed to tell him that…I…liked him?

Magnus's POV (Sorta)

"Magnus?""

The aforementioned teen continued to move the food back and forth across his plate, oblivious.

Why hadn't Alec told him he had a crush? Hell, why hadn't he told him he was gay? Magnus was pretty sure that's way friends did. And he considered Alec his best friend. So why hadn't Alec told him? Maybe he—

"Magnus!"

He looked up. "What?…Oh. Sorry, Nicki. What'd you day?

Nicki looked at him for a moment, concerned. "Are you alright?"

Hesitation. "Yeah…why wouldn't I be?"

"You've been spacing out a lot…and thinking out loud." She paused. "Is everything okay with you and Alec?"

Magnus frowned. "We're not fighting, if that's what you mean. I just…he likes someone, I guess, and I'm not sure why I'm so nervous…or annoyed…or whatever… about it, but I am." Nicki opened her mouth but Magnus cut her off. "It's just a crush Nick. I shouldn't be this strung out."

She smiled slightly. "Do you even know how smitten you are? Mag, it's your first real crush, maybe more; you're supposed to feel this way."

"He's just a crush!"

"Name one other person who's once made you feel the same way Alec does every day."

Magnus gave his adoptive mom a look that clearly said, 'that-may-have-been-the-sappiest-line-ever.' He said, "You need to stop watching The Young and the Moving."

Nicki glared at him playfully as she got up to clear the table. "The Young and the Restless and, really honey, have you even considered just telling Alec how you feel?"

Magnus looked at a particularly interesting spot on the floor. "Well, no, but when we hung out that night I…I kinda held his hand and gave him my jacket. I mean, no one's that oblivious, right?"

Nicki placed a hand on his shoulder as she walked past him toward the kitchen door. "Honey, it's Alec we're talking about here."

Magnus grinned slightly. "Well yeah...but you met him, what twice? How would you know if he's oblivious?"

Nicki stopped just before she left the room. "I'm a mom. We know shit."

Author's Note: Alright, so I realize it's really short, and a filler, so I plan on posting ASAP! I was going to wait until after this weekend to post this (and add more) but AimlessGirl and I have been talking WAY too much about these two (And Kurt and Blaine from Glee!). I couldn't wait. I actually kind of like the Magnus and Nicki scene though...

Peace, Love, Mark, and Iggy.
