"You have to know how I feel about you." Magnus whispered as Alec shook his head.

"Yeah, for now you feel this way about me." Alec whispered back his voice slightly harsher than usual, his blue eyes darker in his slightly flushed face. They way he had been since he heard Camille bring up Will...which Magnus had explained was her trying to manipulate them, that no they never had their kind of relationship, and no, Will may have looked like you, but he was more like Jace in personality.

For the second time that day Magnus had to agree with Camille when he thought of them agreeing on how beautiful humans truly were years ago, when they still dated they had agreed on that. But she had also pointed out that humans only burned that bright in beauty because they would eventually fade.

Like a flame.

A human eventually gets old, eventually dies...eventually leaves.

Alec would leave him...But he didn't want him to leave yet...not when he knew this would be it for him...this...him...Alec would be the one he would always love.

Not that he could explain that to him...He was still wrapping his mind around him dating Camille...a vampire...a girl.

Then he had avoided him for a little at the dinner that night...only to become moody and snap at anybody Magnus talked to.

Asking every time he pointed out someone he had once met...if he had every dated them...

And really Magnus knew he shouldn't have joked and said the only thing he hadn't dated was mermaids... I mean they did tend to always smell like seaweed...really though it was almost worth saying that to see Alec's mother's shocked face...but it wasn't worth it to see Alec so depressed...to see Alec pull away...not when just before on their vacation they had become so close...

But here and now, he was realizing that they didn't have the chance of growing old together...of having that hope...or so Alec said.

But to Magnus there was always hope...in whatever situation...Even if Alec didn't see that now...

And that was why Magnus practically knocked Simon over when Alec emerged from the elevater...Grabbing Alec and running his hands all along his body, cupping his face, looking at the bruises that had begun to appear on his pale skin.

And as always Alec pulled away, but unlike before Magnus knew it was because he didn't like to be coddled...didn't like when he called him Alexander like his parents...didn't like to appear weak...but this time Magnus didn't care about that, only pulled Alec back towards him, wrapping him in his arms and holding him close...

"Please don't be angry," he wanted to say.

"Please know how I feel about you..."

"Please know that I'll Love You forever..."

And in each other's arms, he whispered to this black haired blue eyed boy he was in-love with of how his death would affect him if he died...

How he'll never be able to stand the idea of loosing him...

"So what do we do," Alec whispered.

...Magnus smiled looking like a mischievous teenager with a gleam in his gold-green eyes...

..."What everyone does..."

..."Hope," He whispered as their lips met...
