A/n: Hey everyone! I'm in an extremely great mood right now, even though its twenty to one in the night here and I'm a little sleepy :P I went out with my mom and aunt and baby cousin today for some big sporting event thing that my city has every year and on the way home I was telling my mom how I feel like I'm gonna miss out on something on tumblr if I go out, and when I got home and refreshed tumblr.. I found out that Alec has been cast! So, that put me in a really great mood :P

So to celebrate finally getting the two halves of Malec, I decided to give you guys this chapter!

Just A Kiss by Lady Antebellum would be a fitting song for this chapter ;)

Anyway, Enjoy!

Third Person POV:

For once in a very long time, Magnus was truly happy. He had Alec as his best friend and he now had a kitten. Something that he wanted for a while, but his dad would flip if he knew that there was a cat in the house. He never did like animals, and Magnus could only imagine what would happen to the poor thing if his dad got his hands on him. Magnus shuddered.

But lying there on the floor with Alec, his head tucked into the crook of his friends neck and having Alec's arms around him just made him feel so safe and secure. He wished it could be like this all the time. But he knew it couldn't. Alec wouldn't like like him that way, ever. He was just too fat to be loved. But he guessed that this was as close to love as he would ever get. So he decided to enjoy it while it lasted.

He closed his eyes and breathed in softly. Alec smelled like sandalwood and something else. Something entirely unique. He shifted a little and brought one of his hands up to Alec's chest. He placed it over his heart and felt Alec's heart pick up pace. He smiled to himself. He started to draw little designs around Alec's heart with his finger, humming softly to himself.

After a while, Magnus began to wonder what it would be like to kiss the other boy. His mouth looked so soft and gentle. He could only imagine what it would be like. Would there be that certain spark, that someone usually felt? Would he see fireworks? He shook his head internally. He was thinking about it, like it was his first kiss. He rolled his eyes at that. No, his first kiss was stolen from him a while ago.

Their quiet moment was interrupted by a growling noise. Magnus opened his eyes and blushed, knowing it was his stomach that made the noise. Alec started to sit up, and Magnus got up off his chest sat sat across from him on the floor. Alec was staring at him, a soft expression on his face. He took Magnus' hand in his own and began to play with his fingers.

"Magnus? Will, you please eat something?" He asked softly.

Magnus sighed. "Will it get you off my back if I did?"

Alec nodded his head. "Yes."

"Alright, I'll eat something. But I'm not going to like it," Magnus said.

"Okay. Before all this happened, what was your favorite thing to eat?" Alec asked, looking up at Magnus.

"I use to love chocolate dream cake with rainbow sprinkles and ediable glitter," He admitted.

Alec released Magnus' hands and stood up. He held out his hands for Magnus to take them. He took them and Alec helped him up off the floor. He blushed slightly at the closeness they had. He looked up into Magnus' eyes and he could tell that Magnus was starting to lean his head down, so he started to lean up. His eyes were slowly closing, and his heart began to pound in his chest. This would be his first kiss.

Thier lips were so close to touching, but then Magnus' stomach began to growl again. They jumped away from each other. Both of them were started. And Alec had a had time trying to calm down his speeding heart.

"So," Alec cleared his throat. "Lets go make you a cake."

As they walked down the stairs, Magnus couldn't help but think of what could've happened between him and Alec a few moments ago. In other words, he was silently cursing at his stomach for ruining such a good moment. If only his stomach hadn't decided to growl at that moment. Then maybe he and Alec wouldn't be walking down these stairs. Maybe they would still be up in his room, possibly making out. Wishful thinking.

Once they were down the stairs, they went straight to the kitchen. Magnus took out one of his mothers old cook books and found the recipe for the cake that they were going to make. Magnus remembered how good it tasted. And he would feel a little bad for eating it. He knew it was full of calories and fat. But the look on Alec's face when he said that he would eat, was much too priceless. He looked so happy that Magnus couldn't break that. No matter how disgusting he felt.

"Alright, so what do we need?" Alec asked.

"Um, flour, sugar, butter, shortening, water, baking cocoa, buttermilk and eggs," Magnus listed off all the ingredients they would need.

Once Magnus was done listing out all the ingredients, they went around the kitchen looking for the stuff. Once everything was gathered they set to work on mixing everything together. It was comfortable silence for the most part. Magnus could hear Alec humming softly to himself. He smiled deviously to himself, and took a handful of flour and tossed it at Alec.

Alec turned to him with a playful glare. "Oh, its on."

Magnus let out a tiny shriek and started to run around the kitchen, not wanting to get his hair ruined. But Alec caught up. He threw flour at Magnus' back. Magnus in retaliation threw an egg at his best friend. Alec glared playfully at him again and this time smudged chocolate batter across his face and down his neck.

He had Magnus pinned in between his body and the island in the kitchen. He leaned into Magnus, bringing their lips closer. They were so close that Alec could smell Magnus' cologne or perfume. They were almost about to touch lips when they heard a shrill scream.

"What happened here?" Magnus' mother said, as they jumped apart.

Magnus rubbed the back of his neck. "We tried to make a cake."

"It looks like you destroyed my kitchen," His mother replied.

"Sorry mom," Magnus said sheepishly.

"Its fine. Can you boys leave while I clean up up this disaster?" She asked politely.

They both nodded, and left the kitchen. They could still hear Magnus' mother muttering about her destroyed kitchen. It wasn't that bad really.

"I think I should go now.. my parents are probably wondering where I'm to," Alec said.

Magnus looked sullen. "Alright."

"But call, or come over if you need anything. Okay?" Alec said.

"Okay," Magnus replied.

Alec smiled and gave Magnus a hug that lasted a little too long for being 'just friends.' But Magnus wasn't complaining. He just wished that Alec would hold him like this all the time. But again, wishful thinking.

Alec released Magnus, and walked out the door. His arms feeling strangely empty.

As Alec drove home, he couldn't stop thinking of what had happened today. He had taken Magnus out for the day, which seemed a little like a date, adopted a kitten for him, and almost kissed him. Twice. His heart thudded painfully in his chest. He had no idea what to think of this.

The almost kisses kept playing through his mind all the way back to his house. He didn't even stop thinking about them as he stepped in through the door of his house. He took off his shoes, knowing his mother hated getting dirt on the immaculate white carpet, and padded into the living room. HIs parents looked up at him when he entered the room.

"Where were you to, young man?" His mother asked in one of those 'you are in trouble' voices. The one she used when he forgets to take off his sneakers.

"I was.. out," He said plainly.

"Out where?" She asked.

"Out with a friend," He replied and left the room.

He went striaght to the bathroom after he left the living room. His fingers had been aching to hold the silver razor all day, and he wasn't about to ignore it for much longer. When he walked into the bathroom, he closed the door behind him and locked it. He then went to look for the razor. He found it where he hid it the last time.

He sat on the floor and brought the razor to his arm. He dug it in a little and then dragged it across the once pale flesh of his arm. He repeated the action a coupple of times on both of his arms. When he was done, he flicked the razor to aside and just sat there. He felt like he was floating. Who needed drugs to feel high, anyway? Doing this felt so much better than drugs anyway.

He took a couple of deep breaths and stood up on shaky legs. He tried to keep his arms leveled so that the cuts wouldn't drip blood onto the white tiles. He turned on the sink and brought his arms under the luke warm water. When he was done cleaning them, he wrapped the grisly looking gashes in bandages and went to his room.

A little while after Alec left, he was in his room, trying to ignore the sounds of his parents fighting. For the last few days they had been like this. It only gotten worst after they had told him about their divorce that was coming up. He didn't quite know why his dad was still here anyway. He should have left a while ago.

He sighed. He got up from the floor, where he was playing with Chairman Meow and went downstairs. He stood at the bottom of the stairs and watched as the madness unfurled before him. His parents looked like they were about to kill one another. It was a little frightening.

"THIS IS ALL OUR FAGGOT SONS FAULT," His dad finally screamed.

Magnus flinched. The movement must have caught his father's eye, because he came barreling toward him. A ferocious look on his face. Magnus was never truly afraid of his father until this moment.

"This is all your fault," He snarled.

He didn't see his father's hands move, but felt them tight on his neck. His heart pounded wildly in his chest and he tried to gasp for air. He had absolutely no clue what to do.

"Leave him alone!" His mother screamed.

"And why should I?" His father yelled back, but his hands never left Magnus' throat.

"Because if you don't release him this instant, I will call the police," His mother said in a low voice that said she was angry and she wasn't afraid to call the police.

His father finally let go of him and he fell to the floor, gasping and choking. He looked up at his dad, his eyes wide and tearful. His dad sneered at him.

"Don't look at me," He spat at Magnus.

Magnus got up on shaking legs. He walked past his parents and went to the door. He stopped there for a moment and turned back to them.

"I wouldn't look at you anymore, anyway. You're no father to me," He said and then walked out the door.

He didn't know where he was going to go. The tears in his eyes finally spilled over and he began to sob. He wished his dad didn't hate him so much and be so homophobic. He wished that he had an accepting dad, who accepted him for who he was. For all his faults, flaws, and mistakes. But that was too much to ask for. Instead he got a dad who wanted him dead.

He walked around until he decided where he was going. He decided that he was going to take Alec up on his offer and go to his place. He honestly hoped that Alec wouldn't mind him coming over. He didn't even tell him that he was going to be over, because he didn't bother to go back up to his room to get his phone.

His heart stopped for a moment. He hoped that his dad wouldn't go into his room. Chairman Meow was still in his room. Probably waiting for him to go back and play with him. But that wasn't happening right now. He couldn't go back to his house. Not after his dad tried to kill him. He brought a hand up to his neck and flinched a little. It hurt, quite a bit. He was sure he was going to have bruises there in the morning.

He sighed as he came up to the Lightwood's house. He walked up the little pathway and came to the large Mahogany door. He knocked on the door a few times, and waited for someone to answer. It was only a few moments later when Alec's mother answered the door.

"Oh! Hello Magnus, may I help you?" She asked.

"Is Alec here?" He replied through chattering teeth.

"Yes, he's up in his room. Why don't you come in and up on up?" She suggested.

He nodded and stepped into the house and toed off his boots. "Thank you."

Magnus made his way up to Alec's room with heavy feet. The fact that his dad tried to kill him was still processing through his mind. He took a deep breath. Even his throat stung from doing that. When he came to Alec's bedroom door, he knocked kind of timidly.

"Come in!" He heard Alec call out.

He opened the door and saw Alec sitting at his desk with his computer opened. Magnus walked inside and closed the door. Alec looked up from his computer and a look of concern washed over his face. He stood up and walked over to Magnus.

"What happened?" Alec whispered as he gently touched the angry red marks on his friends neck.

Magnus felt the tears flow heavier. "My dad tried to kill me."

"What!" Alec said incredulously.

"My dad tried to kill me," Magnus repeated. "He said that his marriage with my mom isn't working because it's my fault. He called me a faggot and then proceeded to try and strangle me. If it weren't for my mom threatening to call the police on him, I probably wouldn't be here."

After Magnus was done talking, Alec brought him into a hug. It was one of those hugs where the person hugging you was trying to convery that everything was going to be okay and that you're safe and loved. Magnus returned the hug and pressed face into the crook of Alec's neck.

Alec pulled away slightly and Magnus raised his head up. Alec had a peculiar expression on his face and he started to lean up. Magnus caught on immediately and started to lean down. This is the moment he had been waiting for all day. His breath came in as little gasps and his heart felt like it was going to jump from his chest at any moment.

Magnus let his eyes close as Alec brought their lips together in a soft, gentle kiss. He shifted and brought his hands up to Alec's shoulders instead of letting them fall to his sides. It was the best second first kiss he ever had. He felt Alec's tongue poke out and probe his bottom lip, he let his mouth open a little and Alec's tongue invaded his mouth. Their breaths and tongues mingled together. But far too soon, Alec pulled away. His face was flushed.

"That was-"

"Amazing."
