Chapter 17

Magnus could see that Alec was nervous, the normally composed Gryffindor was ringing his hands, he wasn't looking him in the eyes.

The sentence "we need to talk" was going round and round inside his head, what could it mean? What have did I do? PLEASE LOOK AT ME!

They were sat in a cabin of the train, just the two of them. They hadn't spoken since they sat, how long has passed? The tension was palpable and he had a lump stuck in his throat.

"Alexander please say something" his eyes pleading and his brow furrowed.

"Magnus" cough "we need to talk".

"yes, you've said that before" he was getting frustrated, and more worried as the time ticked on.

"I need to tell you something, but before I do know that I care for you, more than anything, you have changed my life and I can't thank you enough." He looked up at him tears in his eyes and his cheeks flushed. "I don't want to do this, I don't want to lose you…."

Before he could carry one Magnus stopped him, "then don't say it, please, I don't want to lose you either". He knew what was coming and he didn't want to hear it. He could feel the lump in his throat growing bigger and his own eyes getting misty, this can't be happening!

Alec moved next to him and reached towards him and pulled him into a long tender kiss, it then grew heated like each of them wanted to permanently stay that way. At some point during it Alec ended up straddling Magnus and unbuttoning his shirt, touching Magnus chest and kissing his neck and anywhere he could find.

All of a sudden Alec broke away, he jumped off Magnus and stood in the middle of the cabin scratching his already messed hair, "I can't do this! I'm sorry!"

Magnus was flushed and in shock, not how he expected this to go but not complaining. Fastening his shirt and trying to sound calm and suave "you very much seem to be able to do this, why don't you think you can?"

"I can't keep this going, I'm only going to end up hurting you!" he was staring straight into Magnus' eyes, with an intensity Magnus had never seen before. They held eye contact for an eternity in Magnus mind before Alec whispered "I have to marry Lydia."

Magnus got up and stood in front him, "I know". Alec looked up surprised, "I've always known you would choose your family before me" he gave a small smile "it's why I love you." He then took Alec into his arms and help him.

For the rest of the journey they stayed holding each other, kissing each other and trying to make it last as long as they could. When the train stopped they got off the train and parted, Magnus going with Ragnor and Alec with his siblings. Magnus stood and watched Alec walk away, Ragnor placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

Please look back, please, give me that little of hope.

"Why are you smiling?" Ragnor asked.

"He looked back".

Ragnor just shook his head and pulled him away.

Im so so so sorry!
