A/N: Well, chapter 3, and, yeah, this story is short, but is meaningful. XD Hope you like. Please review

Hours later, Magnus was kneeling next to the bed, his head in his hands. He had done everything he knew, and was so drained of energy he could do nothing but hope.

He took the cold hand of Alec which was hanging off the side of the bed. Please. Don't leave me. You are all I have. Magnus couldn't help but let the inevitable tears stream from his eyes. He stared at the ceiling. Hoping. He had known Alec was going to die, eventually. But not now. It was too soon.

"I love you," he whispered. "I wish I didn't have to live without you, forever. I wish I could die too."

"Why would you want to die?" Magnus' head snapped down towards the bed. Alec's blue eyes were open, staring at Magnus. Magnus stopped breathing. How? He must be dreaming. He let out a breath of shock, and without thinking he gently took Alec's face in his hands and kissed him. Even if this was a dream, he had to keep this moment. The kiss was soft, sweet. He breathed in the clean scent of Alec, wishing he could never let go. But he had to breathe, and he released Alec.

"Are you okay?" Alec generally looked concerned.

"Am… am I okay? You… you almost died!" Magnus suddenly felt angry. "What did you think you were doing? An immortality rune? What did you want one of those for?"

Alec looked shocked, and Magnus' heart softened slightly at the look on Alec's face.

"I'm sorry, Magnus." Alec took Magnus' hand and kissed it softly. "You must know why I did it?"

Magnus looked confused and shook his head.

"Isn't it obvious?"Alec laughed. "I did it for you. To be with you, forever. I'm 20 tomorrow, and you are stuck in your teens. I don't want to grow old. I want to be with you. "

Magnus sighed and kissed Alec's hand back. "I love you, Alec Lightwood. But immortality is not the answer. Do you think I don't wish the same thing? That we could grow old together? I wish I could, but I'm sorry, I can't."

"Well, do you know what you could do for me then? You could love me, forever."

"I do already, darling."

Magnus took Alec in his arms again, and lay next to him, kissing him and never wanting to let go.
