"Wait, wait, wait!", Alec held up his hands. "You mean to tell me that you can speak all of those languages? All of them?"

Magnus smiled. "I don't know! I just find it really easy to learn them. That's part of the fun of travelling! You get to talk to all the people."

Alec shook his head in amazement. Magnus's life was everything his wasn't. Full of excitement and new experiences. His was all laid out and planned for him. Train, fight demons, move to Idris, get married, have children to take his place…. die. It was the same for everyone.

"What language do you speak when you're doing magic? If you don't mind me asking". Alec enquired timidly.

"Well...", Magnus began. "That's not a language from this dimension. Most of it is all demonic. I didn't have to learn that. If you're a Downworlder it should already be on your tongue, but there's also Angelic magic, from the angels. I'm able to speak that language too."

"Wait does that make you part angel or?..." Alec trailed off.

Magus didn't know what to say. He knew the answer. It was yes, but he'd never told that to anyone before. Especially not a Nephilim. He rattled his brain for an answer.

"Have you ever heard of Dark Angels?", Magnus enquired.

Alec scrunched his eyes, deep in thought. "No. Just fallen angels, but I thought those were just called demons then?"

"They are. Dark Angels and Fallen Angels are completely different. Dark Angels are of both Angelic and Demonic descent. But there's enough Angelic power in them to not be considered fallen", Magnus explained. "To not be considered a demon".

Alec's eyes were wide with interest. This was all new information to him, but information he actually wanted to know. "So... i'm guessing what your trying to tell me is that you're one? A Dark Angel... I mean."

"Yeah", Magnus replied. He had suddenly gone very serious and Alec could see that something was distracting him. Had he said something wrong? He honestly didn't know.

"So who are your parents then? I'm guessing they were both Dark Angels too. Thats's how it works right?". Magnus's mouth opened and then closed. He wrapped his fingers tighter around his coffee.

"I think that's a topic i'll save for another conversation, Alexander".

"Oh... okay."

Once the pair stepped outside of the coffee shop the cold air hit Alexander straight away. Magnus noticed him flinch against the peircing wind and remembered that Shadowhunters also had reactions to natural elements like mundanes did. Before he even comprehended what he was doing Magnus reached out with one hand and placed it on Alec's chest. Alec froze at the sudden touch before looking up at Magnus in surprise. All of a sudden he felt a warm heat encircle his entire body warming him from head to toe, it felt truly magnificent, Magic.

Suddenly Magnus became completely aware of his actions and he yanked his hand away sharply before turning away from Alec. At the sudden loss of heat Alec felt a longing for Magnus to touch him again. They began walking again in the darkness, both of them silently agreeing to not bring up what had just happened. When they approached the next block they could hear the faint sound of the music blaring inside the club. It was 4:38. Magnus and Alec had talked for five hours straight.

"Well then Alexander, I presume you'll be heading home now so I look foward till next time".

Alec perked his head up, clearly intriuged. Next time? There's gonna be a next time?

"Next time?", he asked nervously.

Magnus turned around. "Don't worry. I'll call for you".

And with that Magnus dropped a wink before turning back around and walking into the darkness. Alec blushed crimson. 'Shit! He totally knows.' Alec thought to himself. 'But didn't we kind of wan't him to know though?'

Alec spent the next hour arguing with himself until a drunk Izzy and Jace came stumbling out of the club totally unaware of their surroundings. A good hour later, Alec found himself lying in bed staring up at the ceiling.

"Next time". He said out loud, smiling.

"Yeah. Next time".
