Chapter 6: Library?

Alec woke up the next morning with a giant smile and one thought in his mind, Magnus! The smile must have still been on his face when he walked out of the bathroom.

"Why are you smiling and so early in the morning!?" Jace had a look of confusion mixed with disbelief on his face.

"Am I not allowed to smile?"

"Obviously, just not so early in the morning, especially on a Monday, no one smiles on a Monday morning."

Alec walked over to his trunk and started to get the rest of his uniform on, smiling at the thought of seeing Magnus later and from the Jace going on one of his ridiculous rants. It wasn't that long ago that he had similar feelings for Jace that he now had for Magnus, except then the feelings were one sided.

"So?" Jace had stopped rambling and was now staring at him.

"So what?"

"Why are you smiling?" He really wants an answer?

Alec hadn't 'officially' come out to Jace yet. He was sure Jace had known about his feelings for him but they had never spoken about it, he wasn't sure HOW to tell Jace.

There was a pause in the conversation with Alec crouched in front of his trunk lost in thought and Jace still looking at him waiting for an answer.

"Has this got anything to do with Magnus?"

WHAT?!

Jace's comment had surprised Alec and ad caused him to loose balance and fall head first into his trunk. Clambering out of his trunk, he stood up and looked at Jace.

"It's obvious the guy likes you, and I know you like him back."

"Izzy?"

"Izzy, why did you never tell me?"

"I don't know…I wasn't sure for a while if I was and when I did eventually realise I couldn't tell you so the only person I came out to was Izzy."

Jace nodded at this, confirming Alec's suspicions that he had known. Alec did the only thing he felt could be done and that was to hug Jace. Jace had known the whole time and never forced Alec to come out to him, or even asked him, he had just waited.

"Thank you", this was just a quiet whisper but it said a lot. I wish Mum and Dad could be this easy to come out to.

"Its okay." When they eventually let go of each other Jace's face looked grim and concerned, "I'd say I'm happy for you, and I am, there's just one obvious problem."

Lydia. The person that had been at the back of Alec's mind since he'd met Magnus.

"Lydia, I know. How can I tell Mum and Dad? 'I'm sorry Mum and Dad I can't marry Lydia I'm in love with this incredible guy and want to be with him instead. I know this gets rid of any political gain you could have got but I like men!' it would go down really well."

"You love him?" Jace's eyes were wide and his mouth was hanging open.

"What?"

"You said you loved him."

"I did?"

Jace just slowly nodded his head. Alec had only seen Jace speechless on a few occasions. Alec had to sit down, this thing with Magnus was happening very fast, they'd only known each other a few months and had kissed twice.

"What am I going to do?"

"Find Izzy, we work better as a trio."

They walked down to the great hall and without thinking Alec looked towards the Ravenclaw table, where's Magnus? The glittery Ravenclaw was no-where to be found and neither was Ragnor Fell.

They found Izzy sat with Clary and Simon, but Alec was too busy wondering where Magnus was to be involved in whatever conversation they were having, where is he?

At this time Magnus was stuck in what he would describe later as an 'interrogation' with Ragnor. He had had to describe in detail what had happened, everything that was said. He was surprised Ragnor hadn't asked him what temperature it was, the position of the moon and how close they walked next to each other to the smallest millimetre.

"So you've finaly kissed him?"

"Yes, twice!" MERLIN SAVE ME FROM THIS! "Please can we go down to breakfast? It's almost time for potions!"

"One last question."

I'm going to drown him in the great lake! Magnus wasn't a morning person, if he didn't get out of this room soon the possibility of him committing murder was very likely.

"WHAT!?"

"Do you love him?"

Yes.

"Yes." And with this he turned and walked out of the Dorm room and down to breakfast, he couldn't talk any longer he hadn't said it out loud yet and saying it had shaken him a bit, he had only been in love once and it hadn't ended well, so to admit he was again was a big thing for him.

Alec had been reaching for another slice of toast when Jace leant into him, "he's here" and raised his eyebrows as if trying to point them towards the door.

Alec looked towards the door with a big smile on his face that fell when he saw Magnus. Magnus' normal aura of confidence and flamboyantness wasn't there, the Ravenclaw looked closed off and had an aura of regret around him. Please say he isn't regretting it, please.

He must have felt Alec's eyes on him as when he had sat down he looked up and looked Alec straight in the eyes, something in his posture relaxed and he gave Alec a sad smile, he looked more like himself but there was something more Magnus about him.

Alec knew he couldn't go up and talk "Are you okay?"

Magnus nodded the sad smile still on his face, "we still meeting later?"

"Yes", this must have been the right answer as Magnus gave him a wide happy smile, "see you then." Magnus then turned to the Ravenclaw next to him and Alec turned to his friends around him, both of them impatiently waiting to go to the library.
