"Simon, please! We have time!" A single tear rolled down his cheek, "no Izzy; there's no time. Not for us."

"There's always time-"

"No. Life's too short for you Isabelle Lightwood, and it's slipping through your fingers fast than you know. Be happy, go out. Fall in love" She sniffed and smiled slightly, "don't you see? I already have." His eyes snapped back to her sky blue ones, "stay. Don't break my heart. You said it yourself, life is too short. Even for you. Stay with me."

"Please, Magnus I'm begging you. Stay with me. I don't care anymore; I don't care about how many years I have left. They're slipping through the cracks, the hourglass has already turned and there's nothing, nothing, you can do to stop it. I love you. And I can't do it without you."

"You think I can stand this either Alexander? Darling I've fallen in love countless times. But never like this. This hurts, and the worst part is I enjoy it. It's practically masochistic Alec. Every time you go out- whether it be on a hunt or just to get some damn coffee- I worry. I worry that you won't come back-that I'll lose you, the best thing that's happened to me in eight-hundred years. You think I don't know about pain? About loss? I have to bury the people I love. And I will. Not. Bury you too."

"Then I'll find a way not to-"

"I won't make you do that-"

"You can't leave, you just can't. I need you."

"Then I'll stay… For now."

"Stay forever." Magnus blinked, "okay."
