AN: Here is my first story on FF. I apologize in advance for any grammar mistakes. English is not my mother language.

Warning: this story contains slash, so if this is not your cup of tea, then by the Angel, what are you doing here?

This story was inspired by the meeting of Alec and Magnus in the movie and a comment on YouTube.

Disclaimer: In a world of books with sparkling vampires and crazy fangirls. In a world where every girl denies the break up of Malec, this girl doesn't own The Mortal Instruments. Her name… TheGreenReaper.

"But only because of the hot one."

"I meant him. The one with the blue eyes."

Alec is used of staying in the shadows.

Of hearing people call Jace handsome or hot and Isabelle beautiful. Even Max being called cute and that he's going to be a real heartbreaker when he's going to grow up.

So used of people not noticing him. Especially when one of his siblings is nearby.

But in the end he doesn't care what people think. And he doesn't mind when people call his siblings beautiful. Because he agrees. His sibling are beautiful.

But when he was a little kid things were different. When he was a little child his heart broke a little every time someone looked right through him.

And then he grew up and stopped wishing people would notice him. Except Jace. He always wanted Jace to think he's beautiful. And even as a kid that was his mantra: 'Jace would think I am beautiful. Would notice me. And it will be enough.'

But he never did. And his heart still breaks a little every time Jace looks right through him (and despite being parabatai this happens quite often).

So when the mundane, Clary, comes along and she doesn't notice him for more than 10 seconds, he isn't surprised.

When she doesn't find him a threat for Jaces affection, he's not surprised either. Because it is true and he finds, that after all this time his heart still breaks a little.

So when at the party the warlock notices him, nobody can condemn him for being surprised. Because for once, with both his siblings there, and even that silly mundane, who he has to admit has a flame that attracts people, someone notices him.

And no one can condemn him for getting butterflies in his stomach.

When Jace looks at him incredulous and his eyes ask: 'he's the hot one?' part of him still breaks a little, but part of him is busy getting all this fuzzy feelings and blushing and looking shyly at the warlock and checking out said warlock.

And after he thinks of his eyes. And he thinks of him.

So every time he sees the way Jace looks at Clary, like she's the most beautiful person in the whole world, part of him is not surprised when his heart starts to break less and less.

Because the warlock, Magnus, looks at him like that. For him, he's beautiful.

And, Alec thinks, for him that is enough.
