For the ones who already follow this story! This is not a new chapter. I am sorry. But I was re-reading my previous chapters and I realized that they were way too long. So I decided to divide them. The content is just the same. Nothing is changed, besides the way the chapters end. Hope you understand. Sorry again if you thought these four are some other chapters.


Song: Make You Feel My Love by the wonderful Adele

In a matter of seconds he was in front of the door. He hoped no one had closed it after they left. Without thinking anymore about the consequences, he opened the door and stepped into the anteroom. He let out a sigh of relieve: Magnus was there.

He was sleeping with his head fallen off over one edge of the armchair.

Alec approached the armchair and for a minute just looked at Magnus. His lips were slightly parted and his lashes spread shadows on his cheekbones. He is a really beautiful man,thought Alec. Standing there, sleeping peacefully, his makeup flaking, Magnus was more beautiful than ever and Alec forgot why he had hurried up the stairs, he forgot he had wanted to go home and that his siblings were? waiting in the car. For a few seconds he just set there in silence and for the first time he felt it: serenity, calm, light - all around him. Yes, this is where he wished to be: in a quiet, slightly lighted anteroom, next to someone whose smile drove him mad and in the same time steadied him on the ground.

Alec's eyes fell on his abdomen were Magnus' green shirt rode up on his flat stomach. He caught himself eager to trace the line of Magnu's body with his fingers, but immediately looked up again. Magnus spiky hair was ruined and going in all directions. A hissing sound came out of his mouth and Magnus attempted to roll over on his right side. Alec lowered himself on his knees and smiled when his face came so close to Magnus's.

He placed his arms underneath Magnus and lifted him from the armchair. While he rose to his feet he squeezed Magnus, making sure he held a tight grip on him. He stepped in the living room where a very slow melody filled his ears. Alec had now idea where Magnus' room was, but now the loft looked different without the churning bodies in it. It was easier for him to find the rooms. He opened the first door but even if the light coming from the living was dim he could still see that the bed was occupied. He closed the door slowly and headed towards the other room. The moment he stepped inside it he knew it was Magnus'. The way it smelled, the way things were arranged, and the view. Yes, the view: you could see New York in all its beauty and grandeur.

He placed Magnus on the yellow sheets of the bed. He felt the warmth of Magnu's body leaving him and longed for it to return. He wanted to keep Magnus there for a longer time; maybe forever will do him justice; but his arms became sore and he knew sooner or later he would get tired of holding him in his arms. Alec was scared of these feelings. They were new to him and he didn't know how to act around Magnus without giving away his true wishes. And he was also scared because the past was following him; it was like a second heart that echoed the beats of the one made of tissue and muscle.

He leaned over Magnus, lifted his legs and placed them under the covers. He moved his hands higher on his heating body and for a moment they rested on the edge of Magnus' thin T-shirt, feeling the rises of his chest as Magnus' breathing fastened, but quickly changed his mind and pulled the covers all the way up to keep Magnus warm. Magnus would have to sleep in those clothes and Alec really hoped he wouldn't be cold.

Alec sat on the chair by the window, wanting to make sure Magnus would fall asleep because all the moving around and the tucking were about to wake him up.

Alec heard the music from the other room and he recognized Adele' voice. He loved this song. Without realising he began to hum along with the music in a very low voice.

The storms are raging on the rolling sea

Alec didn't notice but Magnus's eyes were half-open the moment he finished singing the line.

And of the highway of regret

A tear rolled down Magnus' cheek.

The winds of change are blowing wild and free

"Alec?" murmured a soft voice, right before he could finish the strophe.

"Shh. Go to sleep."

"I am sorry."

"It's fine. I got you. It's fine."

The words floated in the air and by the time Magnus breathed them in Alec exited the room, closing the door very slowly.

Alec took only two steps out of the room when he was stopped by a tall girl with blue hair.

"What on earth are you doing in Magnus' room?"

"I was just..." Alec was caught off guard.

"Well? What were you doing?" Her eyebrows were hitting her hairline and she looked really angry.

"I took him in his bed. He fell asleep on the armchair in the hallway." He said when he finally remembered how to speak.

The girl stared at him for a few minutes and she looked taken aback.

"You what?"

"He fell asleep in the hallway. I took him to bed."

"You are Alec, aren't you?"

Alec's throat went dry. He swallowed the nod that was formed in there. But he nodded.

"Please don't tell him I was here."

She thought about what he had said and looked at him with a sadness that went straight inside Alec's soul. She smiled although it was sorrowful, then nodded slightly just like he did.

"Come on, I'll lock the door behind you."


A/N: I hope you don't want to kill me. Pretty please don't kill me.

Also, just so it's clear for everyone, at first Alec is in the anteroom and he remebers being at the bar. While he is at the bar, Jace meets Clary and so on and when he leaves, he is spotted by both Izzy and Magnus. Then it's said that he spents almsot an hour in the armchair.

I am little nervous about posting this. When I wrote it I wasn't but, yeah, anyway. This is my story and this is how I wanted things to happen. And to be completely honest, thsi thing kind of writes itself, you know? The ideas keep on coming while I write, so...

Okay, moving on. School's about to start. Yaycs. Shadowhunters's only 7 days away? What? Can't wait!

I will write the next chapter when I have the time and I will update it after I have, let's say, four reviews? I hope it's not too much to ask for.

Night Changer: I'm glad you liked it. Hope you liked this too. Everybody influences in a way or another the stories of our main characters: Magnus and Alec. So the other characters will probably make an appearance from time to time.

Ella Blackrose: Hope this answers your questions. Their past is still a little blurry, but we have to be patient. We'll see where the story takes us.

I am looking forward to all of your reviews so don't be shy. I clearly wasn't. :)

Also, listen the songs if you want to.
