11. Life
Magnus had never feared death; he was an immortal warlock after all. But when he met Alec, things changed- the dread of death never left the pit of his stomach.
12. Contempt
The fact that Alec was giving up his light of being perfect in the eyes of the Clave and his parents never failed to fill Magnus with an overload of love and a twinge of guilt.
13. Wrong
Eventually Alec stopped caring what his parents thought. He was finally happy.
14. Sweeten
Alec always insisted that he hated all things sugary and sweet, but Magnus's baking never failed to make him give in.
15. Hands
Alec and Magnus's hands contrasted greatly: Magnus's skin a honey color with long, painted nails, and Alec's nails clipped and skin pale, but when they held hands it was a perfect match.
16. Strangle
It was their first fight. Alec screamed that he felt like Magnus was smothering him; cutting off his oxygen with his hands around his neck.
17. Lullaby
When Max died, the first person Alec confided in was Magnus. Just like Alec had done with Max every night since he was born, Magnus sang Alec to sleep.
18. Untouchable
Magnus was one of the coolest people Alec had ever met; he had cool hair, a cool apartment, cool clients, and was the High Warlock of Brooklyn. In that first night of meeting him, Magnus had seemed like such an impalpable figure.
19. Whispered
Alec spoke into the phone quietly, "I have to go though, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Goodnight." Magnus said.
"I love you." Alec whispered.
20. Prayers
When Alec was a boy, he believed in God. When Alec was a man, he believed in demons. Yet when Magnus was in danger, Alec prayed as he did when he was a boy.
It's been a while since I did the first ten, but I finally got around to doing the second ten! The last ones will come... eventually. I feel like the last three on this one were a bit shaky, but I'll see what you guys say.
