A/N: Hey guys I just want to make it clear that some of these lines are not mine and are either taken from the books or the films, but I hope this fanfiction is original enough for you... I've been struggling a lot recently. And I need to say it here because I can't anywhere else. I'm not ok. I'm really, really not.

I don't mean to bother you all I'm sorry.

Alec POV

I was filled with a great sense of fear as I made my way to the door. There were peacekeepers on either side of me and I took a deep breath to calm myself. If they wanted to kill me they would have just waited for the games, so this has to be about something trivial; right?

"Ah Mr Lightwood please do take a seat." Snow said, gesturing to the arm chair beside him. I hesitantly obeyed. Not because I wanted to or felt like I had to, but mostly just because I could see a reason why not. If I do what he says there's nothing to be scared of.

As I sat down Snow got an Avox to pour us two glasses of some sort of liquid. I assumed it was alcoholic, so virtually the minute it was given to me I placed it back onto the coffee table in front of me. Drinking had never been my thing, I just hope it wouldn't look rude, but frankly, at least then I knew he hadn't drugged me with anything. Not that he would...

"So Mr Lightwood I'm sure you must be experiencing a lot of emotions right now." Snow said.

I nodded.

"Well I'm here to make a deal. I wish you to tell young Magnus that our previous deal has been relinquished, and you must now follow this new one to fix the damage you have caused."

"What damage?" I asked.

"Your hometown is in uproar. Within the last week, we have been monitoring communications throughout the districts, talk of rebellion has been seen in over 4 districts. We believe that you and Magnus have given out a message to the people; that you have to stand up for who you are. What you believe in. Which might be commendable in other circumstances, but you must understand, I'm trying to run a country here. I need your cooperation and help to keep the delicate balance we made many years past."

"So you want us to help you trick our loved ones into staying under your thumb for many generations to come?!" I demanded, my rage taking over, the hot liquid flooding my veins and making my reasoning useless.

"Don't test me young Lightwood. Of course there is something in it for you. Do this, and tell Magnus I can guarantee that you will both survive these games. You can go home as soon as the games are finished."

"And if I say no?"

"Then I will have to kill the threat as it stands before any more harm can be caused."

"You've got to be kidding me."

"Do I look like a joking man?" He demanded. I shook my head.

"Good. Then what is your answer?"

Magnus wasn't sleeping when I got back to our floor. He sat by the huge window scaling from floor to ceiling, staring out the window, and I was startled to see the reflections of tears in his eyes.

"Magnus? What's wrong?" I asked, walking towards him. There was still a fair distance between us, around a metre or so, and it was quite dark. I cursed as I walked straight into some sort of furniture. Whether it was a chair or table or something else I couldn't be sure.

"Alec?" He breathed, staring at me like I was a ghost, then he ran forward and hugged me close, kissing my hair frantically, and making me blush in the process.

"I thought you were dead." He explained, finally releasing me, and I wiped his tears away softly with my fingers.

"No. But we have to talk." I said, sitting next to him on the window sill.

"I know look Alec, what I said in the interview-"

"No not that. Not right now, we don't have enough time. Look Snow told me to tell you that whatever previous deal you had is relinquished and is now replaced with this new one. We have to do everything Snow tells us, but if we do he'll let us live!" I explained, imploring Magnus to agree though he was shaking his head.

"Alec you can't trust anything he says."

"I didn't exactly have a choice, Magnus."

"I know Alec." He whispered. "I'm just glad you're ok."

I smiled, saying nothing.

"We should probably go to sleep if we want to wake up with enough energy for tomorrow."

"Huh?" He asked, his voice muffled as he was talking into my shoulder, but I could tell her was tired. Smiling, I just whispered, 'never mind', gathered him into my arms and carried him to his room, and laid him under the covers, but just as I was about to leave, he grabbed my arm sleepily with his hand.

"Stay..." He muttered, and I nodded, taking my shirt off and slipping under the covers, relishing in the warmth. I wasn't ready for tomorrow at all, in fact, I was terrified. So why was I so happy?

When I woke up the next morning, Magnus was asleep on my chest. I looked down at him, his eyes fluttering under his eyelids, still clearly lost in sleep and forced myself not to laugh, knowing my shaking would wake him up.

I rolled my head softly, turning it to the side to see the time. 6:00am. Great. My body always woke me up early when there was something on my mind. I sighed, wondering what to do. There wasn't much I could do it wasn't like I could move or go anywhere, with Magnus asleep on my chest. I shivered, his warm breath tickling against the bare skin. It was kind of annoying.

Magnus shifted in his sleep, muttering something, and slowly woke up (probably because of my restless fidgeting) looking up through his eyelashes at me.

"Hi." He said.

"Morning." I said, unsure of what else to say.

He lifted himself up, stretching his long cat-like limbs in such a gesture that I was afraid he might snap a bone, but apparently they actually could bend that way even though they looked like they couldn't.

Magnus rested his hand on my chest, the warmth of his hand spreading up to my neck making me blush.

"What are you doing?" I asked, blushing.

He drew the covers up to our shoulders. "You're cold." He explained.

I nodded, and gathered the covers further around me, relishing in their warmth.

Not only 5 sweet minutes of warm blissful silence had passed before Magnus was pulling the covers off me slightly, leaning over me, still half asleep.

Then, I watched shyly as he leaned down and let our lips meet, warmth spread through me better than any kind of radiator or alcohol, and I leaned into him.

"I'm sorry." He whispered after he pulled away, my eyes were still closed. "I had to do that at least once. We could die today and-"

"Magnus. It's ok. It's better than ok. Now go back to sleep you're drifting in and out." I said, giggling to myself. He nodded sleepily.

"Maybe another 10 minutes..."

He slept another 2 hours. But I didn't mind. He was warm.

The games are on next chapter. Please read, review, and fangirl. I hope you all have a great day/night. I love you all, I'm always here if you need to talk lovelies.
