Chapter Twenty-four: This is Just Wrong.

'This is so wrong Izzy.'

'Why is it wrong?'

'Because he's stalking Magnus.'

'Stop saying that! He's not, you're just trying to make him sound like a crazy person.'

'I'm not, he had a key made for Magnus' apartment.'

'He wouldn't do that.'

'You've known him for a few hours and you think you know him! He's a stalker Iz!'

'He is not! And it doesn't matter how long I've known him, I believe him.' Magnus, who was just sitting at the end of the table quietly, stood up and took a deep breath.

'Izzy he's gay!' I was a little startled at his outburst, but it was the only way we were able to get Izzy to break it off with him.

'He isn't!' She ran off, to her room most likely.

'Why is he doing this to her?' I asked him.

'I don't know.' He rubbed his temples; I walked over and put my arms around him.

'We'll work this all out in the morning, come on, it's late. Do you need to go home?' He looked at me, curiosity lingering in his eyes. 'No, no I don't.'

'Would you like to stay?' I hugged him a little tighter and he returned it.

'Yes please.'

Waking up next to Magnus was amazing; I felt brilliant. 'Good-morning cutie.' I blushed and gave him a morning kiss.

'Morning.' I thought nothing could keep the smile off of my face but then I heard someone knock on the door. I looked at Magnus and frowned. This had been the second time we had been interrupted and I didn't like it, 'come in.' I called. The door opened slowly, it was Izzy, 'Oh, I'm sorry. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.' She said a little shyly, this was the first time in years that I've heard her sound shy.

'No you're not.' I grumped.

'Alec, be nice.' Magnus whispered to me.

'Ill leave in a minute, ok? I just wanted to tell you, I don't care what you think about me dating Marius, I'm going to date him and there's nothing you can say or do to stop that. I'm going to leave now.' That's what she had to tell us? She wrecked my morning with that? Izzy left without saying another word. I put my head on the pillow and covered my face with my hands.

'Ugh! I wish she would just listen to us.' My voice was slightly muffled.

'I wish she would too babe.' He rested his head on my chest and lay down. 'I hope we can convince her to break it off with that creep.'

'Same.' I moved my hands away from my face and kissed his now ruffled hair, I thought it looked adorable. I could feel him smile against my bare chest. I wasn't going to let Izzy ruin it, 'did you know, you looked so cute in the morning?'

'I look terrible in the morning sweetie, but thanks for the compliment.'

'You do not! You look perfect!' He lifted his head off of my chest and looked at me with his cat-like eyes and said, 'how did I manage to find an amazing guy like you? You tell me I look perfect when really I look hideous,' I was about to tell him he never looks hideous when he put his index finger over my lips and made shhing sound, 'you make me smile every time we speak, just hearing your voice makes me smile. You cheer me up when I'm feeling like crap. You're always there for me and I feel like I can be myself around you. I know we've only been dating for a few days now but I really do love you Alec.' I could feel my cheeks burning and before I knew what I was doing I grabbed his face and kissed him. 'I love you so much Magnus. You are perfect.'
