Unexpected meeting

Magnus couldn't believe what had happened, he had fallen asleep, he'd been asleep under a table in the library, a table with which the, now, bane of his life had decided to sit, and had now found him and woken him up. The bane of his life was now smiling at him, the stupid grin that made him melt, and his icy blue eyes where twinkling with amusement and he was stretching out his hand.

"let me help you" he wiggled his fingers emphasising his offer, "you do not look comfortable"

Magnus had to agree with that, he couldn't feel his legs at all and he had a suspicious feeling his buckle had left an indentation on his cheek, he stretched his arm out and struggled to his feet, it would have been fine if he hadn't slipped die to his legs being numb and falling into Alec's stomach, he let himself sag at this and kneel down and rest his forehead on his stomach letting out a long sigh.

His head wobbled due to Alec chuckling who lowered his head rested his chin on Magnus' head, "any chance you're here because you refused to go to Hogsmeade so you wouldn't see me?"

Magnus chuckled, then it grew to a full body laugh shaking his body and causing Alec to lift his head and look at him with a confused look on his face, Magnus looked him in his eyes, "why do I feel like the fates are against us?"

Alec shrugged and smiled, raking a hand through his hair and rested his hand on the back of his neck, "because I think they actually are. Get off the floor and sit on a chair, that does not look comfortable."

Magnus sent him a cocksure grin, "I think it feels natural if I'm honest."

Alec blushed then slid his chair back causing Magnus to fall on the floor, "less of that."

Magnus stood up, brushed the dust of his knees chuckling, "terribly sorry I couldn't help it, you're just so easy to fluster."

Alec looked done with him and Magnus felt like he had gone too far, till Alec smiled wistfully and slid his chair back to the table and patted the other one for Magnus, "you would know."

Magnus took the seat and grabbed his work from under the table, "where back to where we started, feels nice."

"Couldn't agree more"

They sat there for the rest of the day, every now and then their hands would brush, or knees would knock together, and Magnus would feel sparks travel through him and he would move his hand or leg away. He wouldn't bet on it, but he was sure Alec was doing it on purpose and the red blush that was across his face made him believe that he was.

He wanted to test this theory, the next time their hands touched he left it there and stretched his finger so it curled against Alec's, to his surprise Alec moved his hand, disappointment spread through him for just a small moment till Alec moved his chair closer and placed his hand on Magnus' knee.

Alec turned his head and stared into his eyes, his eyes were full of sadness and also desire and the combination of the two caused Magnus' heart to speed up and almost burst out his chest.

Alec stayed focused on his work but he started to talk under his breath, "I know this can't happen, for so many reasons, I even turned down going to Hogsmeade to not see you, but there you were under the table, and it made me so happy. My heart is telling me one thing while me head, and my parents, are telling me something else, I feel myself spiralling into a void that I can't get out of, I'm hiding who I truly am and I can't be with who I want to be with, but I can't turn my back on my family, and I'm sorry for any pain I've caused you, just know I care about you" he squeezed his fingers, which made Magnus become more hot and his heart leap.

He moved his hand to rest on Alec's "I know why you made your choice, and I can't lie, it hurt and I was wrecked, I care about you a lot too, more than I thought I ever could and I shouldn't but I will be here if, or when you change your mind."

The two men looked at each other, hands together both filled with desire and sadness.

They sat there for the rest of the day hands touching whenever they could and talking about the work, they were doing but nothing too personal.

Unbeknownst to them, 3 heads where peeking through the door and looking at them:

Izzy: "well it's a start"

Ragnor "its better than they were"

Jace "why aren't they kissing?!" …Ow! what was the for?"

They snuck away, they didn't want to be caught and wanted to give them privacy.

Hope this was okay,

You can decide who kicked Jace, or if both of them did.
