Alec Pov- Magnus kissed me and for a while I didn't know what to do. My body tensed up, I got wide eyed, and I just stood there. My mind went into a thousand directions wondering what was happening, why was he doing this, and most of all why did I like it so much? Finally, I just let all of those thoughts fall from my mind and I kissed him back not able to resist it anymore.

He broke the kiss too soon and he laid his head on my shoulder "Alexander… Will is dead." I frowned and wrapped my arms around him rubbing his head "that's horrible." He wrapped his arms around me tightly "Jonathan is saying that Tessa was the one who killed him. They say she's a witch."

I looked at him frowning "Do you believe that?" He was quiet and then started shaking "I don't know… I just don't know who to believe and who to trust." I frowned and rubbed his head again "You can trust me." He looked up at me before fully letting me go and moving away from me "I know I can trust you. I just don't think I can trust you with everything." I frowned and was going to ask him what that meant but he just shook his head and walked away from me.

Two days later I laid in bed looking at the ceiling wondering what I should do about everything that happened with Magnus. He kissed me then questioned my loyalty before leaving. What am I supposed to do? I closed my eyes sighing before standing up and walking out.

I'm not just going to lay here and question what to do about this. I'm going to go down to that barn and prove to Magnus that he can completely trust me. It won't happen right away but it will happen.

I got to Luke's house and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. Luke answered and smiled "Hey Alexander what brings you here? Did Jace steal something again?" I shook my head no "Well not as far as I know, I came to ask you if I can work in your barn."

He looked at me shocked before thinking about it. "Well Magnus is pretty good at doing everything but I think I can hire you." I smiled "Can I see Magnus?" He shook his head no "He has been acting strange the last few days. He does his work and goes right to bed."

I frowned thinking back to the other day. "Please… I won't be long I just really want to talk to him." Luke sighed and scratched the back of his head before moving out of the way letting me in. I walked passed him and went inside going straight upstairs.

I found the only room with a closed door and opened it seeing Magnus laying on his bed looking up at the ceiling like I was earlier. "Magnus" I asked softly watching him. He looked at me before looking back at the ceiling "What are you doing here Alexander." I walked up and sat next to him thinking about what to say.

"Well… I wanted to see if you were okay." He nodded "Fine." I frowned and grabbed his hand "You are not fine Magnus… why did you kiss me?" He glared at me and I frowned knowing it wasn't the time to ask stupid questions but I couldn't help it; I had to know.

"Please Magnus, you kissed me and then started talking about trust. What did you mean by you don't think you can trust me with everything? What's everything Magnus?" He tried to look back at the ceiling but I grabbed his face and made him look at me "Magnus!"

He sat up and glared at me "Alexander you don't understand all the things that are going on in my head. I found out my friend lied to me, I don't know how feel about everything that happened with Will and Tessa, and worst of all I took advantage of you and kissed you while I was wounded." I frowned and grabbed his hand "Magnus you didn't take advantage of me at all. I…. I wanted you to kiss me."

It was true I have been imagining what it would be like to kiss him ever since I met him. "You were so shocked that your entire body stiffened and you didn't kiss me back right away." I rubbed my arm "I know and it wasn't because I didn't like it. I was confused on what was going on and I couldn't believe you were actually kissing me. Guys' liking other guys doesn't happen around here and I don't think we can get away with it without getting killed."

Magnus frowned and fully faced me "We can if we keep it a secret." I felt my face get hot and I looked at him "You mean… have a secret relationship?" He nodded "Yes we would date secretly a lot of guys in my village do it." I thought about it before nodding and meeting his eyes once again.

"You're right... I want to be with you Magnus." His angry face finally softened a little and he smiled a small smile grabbing my hand. "Then it's official... we are now a couple."

Magnus Pov- I walked out of the house and squinted my eyes at the sunlight that felt like fire on me. I have been inside for the past few days because of the rain and my depression. But the rain was finally over and that meant it was time for Tessa to get burned. I frowned at the thought and just sighed before heading to the town square.

"Magnus wait for me" Camille yelled running up from behind me. I stopped and looked back at her letting her catch up. "Magnus, where have you been the past few days?" I frowned and started walking again "I was inside. It's hard to work on the farm when it's raining."

She nodded and looked at me "Please Magnus... I want to talk about the other day." I glanced at her before looking ahead of me seeing Alexander standing by himself at the town square. "If you would excuse me" I said before moving away from Camille, running in Alexander's direction. I stopped running and frowned though when that blonde guy named Jace walked up to him and started talking to him.

Alexander looked at him and smiled talking back to him. I clenched my fist not liking that Jace guy one bit. I walked up to them and put on one of my charming smiles "Good morning Alexander." He gasped slightly and looked back at me; a blush forming on his face.

I smiled loving the blush and I looked at Jace who had a 'why is he talking to us' expression on his face. He then turned his attention to the red head girl walking up to us. "Clary, how are you doing?" That's right she was that girl who was begging them not to burn Simon Lewis. There hasn't been a burning since then so this must be hard for her.

She shrugged off Jace's question and looked at Alexander "Where are your siblings?" Alexander shrugged "They must be up front with my father. I like to stay back here for these things." I glanced at him before looking straight ahead hearing the sound of drums which meant the witch was on her way.

Right on cue Stephen Herondale and Robert Lightwood came through the crowd; in between them was Tessa Gray wearing a rag dress and having her hands tied behind her back. I frowned watching her walk through the crowd. if she really wanted to she could easily get untied but then again I bet she wants to be with William in death. They climbed onto the wooden platform before untying her hands and retying them to the arms of the cross.

I always found I ironic that they are 'burning away evil' but at the same time they are burning the cross so isn't it like they are burning what they believe in? I for one have never believed in god. If god was real and he was such a savior, then wouldn't everyone be equals? wouldn't the world be at peace? I don't really know but I don't really care either.

As they finished tying Tessa up she looked around of the crowed of hateful faces till she met mine. She looked deep into my eyes with a look of seriousness and importance. "The truth lies in the church" She yelled "The people you all treasure so much are the real devils!" Robert Lightwood put a gag in her mouth to shut her up and I frowned watching her.

Tears came into her eyes but the seriousness did not leave her. Her eyes didn't leave mine for a moment and even though she couldn't speak her eyes said everything. I nodded as if to say 'I believe you' Finally she closed her eyes and laid her head back looking up at the clear black sky. Would she go up there? would she be with Will? These are questions of things we always wondered and will never know.

Finally, Father Valentine said his speech of sin and righteousness and at the end of it all he dropped the burning torch and burned Tessa Gray alive. I frowned and looked away not able to watch. It could be me next, If I get on the churches bad side I could be up there burning. Alexander looked at me before slowly moving his hand into mine so I was holding it.

I blinked and looked at our hands before looking at him. He had his eyes closed and my guess was he was praying for her. A waste of time in my opinion but the thought made me feel a little better. As long as there are nice people like Alexander Maybe we can stop this useless killing.

I watched the blue eyed raven try to feed the cow hay and it was just too funny to put an end to. It's been a week since Alexander Lightwood asked Luke for a job at the farm and he claims it's because he wants extra money but I have a feeling that's not the reason at all. I think it has to do with me. Does he want to get close to me maybe?

I walked up to him and took the pitch fork of hay away making him pout. "You're going to hurt yourself little Raven." He looked at me frowning "I was doing just fine." I laughed and handed him a basket "How about you collect some eggs for dinner?"

He nodded and took the basket heading for the chicken coop. I smiled and followed him not able to resist. "Two coins say you run out screaming" I said leaning on the barn wall. He looked at me and smirked "You're on sucker."

He went inside and I counted backwards from ten knowing this would only take ten seconds. Once I said one Alexander came running out of the coop with the top rooster trying to peck at his leg. I busted out laughing watching him and he walked up pulling two coins out of his pocket. "You win this round."

I took the coins and put them in my pocket. "So Alexander Lightwood; what really brings you here working for Luke?" he glanced at me "it's a secret…" I smiled "A secret huh? Tell me."

He thought about it before fully facing me "You are very strange Magnus Bane…" I nodded "Yes is there a point to your insult?" He nodded "There is something strange about you and I'm going to find out what it is." That statement made me frown. Was he on to the fact that I was a warlock? If that was so, then this blue eyed raven would latterly be the death of me.

"Magnus… you okay?" I looked into his eyes and smiled slightly really not caring if he found out. "Alexander Lightwood I will give you a month to guess what is so strange about me. And if you can guess it you will get a special reward."

He smiled "Really? What?" I just smiled and walked away from him making him blink confused and run after me. "When we first got together I thought that the thing I thought was so strange was the fact that you like guys but I think there's more to it than that."

I looked back at him and smiled "Is that so? Why are you so fascinated with the things I do Alexander?" He blushed and looked at his feet "well because... because you're my...lo... lover. I want to know all about you."

It was my turn to blush. Alexander was the kind of person who said everything that was on his mind and sometimes the things he says makes my heart skip. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his waist "Tell me Alexander... if you knew everything about me would you still like me no matter how bad it was?" He looked up into my eyes searching them before nodding "I would."

I smiled and caressed his cheek before pressing my lips gently on his. He smiled and kissed me back briefly before playfully pulling away. "okay" He turned and smirked "I'm ready to face that rooster." I laughed and went back to the coop with him just shaking my head.
