Wow 18 reviews?! You really want to know what happens next. Well here you go then. I hope you like it.
I looked at the scene before me with wide eyes.
Magnus was thrown on the floor where Jace was pinning him down with a seraph blade at his throat.
By The Angel! What is going on here? What is Jace doing here? And more importantly why does he look like he's going to kill Magnus?
"Jace please let Magnus up." I said stepping to them and looking at him expectedly.
Jace reluctantly got up after looking from me to Magnus and I gave Magnus a hand to help him get up.
He took it and after he was back on his feet again I turned back to Jace and gulped. He was looking at us. Analyzing our every move.
"Jace, what are you doing here?" I asked shifting uncomfortably under his gaze.
What the hell do I do? I thought, starting to freak out from inside. How do I explain this? What do I say?
"You weren't answering your phone and then I found it in your room. So I used a tracing rune and it led me here. But a better question is what are you doing here?" He asked looking from Magnus who is only wearing a pair of pants. My pants! To me who was in a towel until a minute ago. And it was obvious that we were both in a shower.
Shit!
I blushed and looked at the floor. Not knowing how to explain this but knowing it will need to be the truth this time. He deserves the truth.
"Oh, this is going to be a fun conversation." Magnus said snapping a chair behind him and conformably settling into it.
"Magnus!" I looked at him warningly.
"What?" He asked innocently. "If you want to sit I'm open." He winked at me which made my blush even brighter. Which was probably what he was aiming for anyway judging by the big grin he was having now. The bastard.
Jace was looking between us with a confused expression on his face. "What is going on here?"
"Jace... Magnus…Magnus is my…" I started unsurely but trailed off instead of finishing the sentence. Looking at the floor and avoiding Jace's eyes.
"He is your what? Alec you...you're not gay." Jace said firmly.
"Wouldn't bet on that." Magnus started with a sly smile. "Especially after last night." He said which got Jace to look at him with wide eyes and an open mouth while I make a choking sound.
"Magnus you are so not helping right now." I said looking at him accusingly.
This is not good! This is s not good!
"Is this the deal you were talking about?" Jace asked me suddenly.
I did a double take. "What? Are you serious? What do you think of me?"
"Well obviously I don't know you anymore! I don't know you at all!" He said looking angry now.
"Jace, what are you getting mad about?"
"What am I getting mad about?" He walked to me. "You are my parabatai. I'm supposed to know you best. And I thought I did. But apparently I don't know you at all." He looked hurt while he spoke.
"That's not true." I argued but I knew it wouldn't help much. Because it's true. Recently we really did drift apart. Especially on my part.
I felt incredibly bad about it now.
"No? Then why am I just hearing about you sleeping with him?" He pointed an accusing finger at Magnus who was quietly sitting in his chair and looking at us fight.
"That's not…All this is about." I said looking at Magnus instead of Jace.
He nodded at me with an encouraging smile.
"No? There is more?" He asked me and finally looked at him again.
Determent to tell him the truth.
"He's my boyfriend." I admitted.
"Even better!" He said sarcastically. "How long?"
"How long what?" I asked confused.
"How long has this been going on?"
"A few months." I said reluctantly.
"A few?! How many?" He asked not letting it go so easily.
"Six." I admitted with a sigh. Not wanting him to be angry at me because of this.
"Half a year? You have been dating a Downworlder for half a year? And I am just now hearing about it?"
I sighed at this.
"Sorry Jace. I just didn't know how to tell you."
"Well how about Hey Jace I'm gay. Oh and I'm dating the enemy. That would have been a good approach. At least I would have known and not been worried about you when you haven't gotten home."
"I'm really sorry Jace." I said putting a hand on his shoulder. "I know I should have. But I just…I was worried you'll look at me differently if you knew."
"I'm not looking at you differently because you're gay. Maybe for the fact that he is a Downworlder but you're still my brother. "
"You have no idea how glad I am to hear you say that." I sighed in relief.
"But I still don't get what you see in him." He say and I was just about to tell him that Magnus isn't how he thinks he is when a pair of arms grabbed me around the waist and pulled me backwards.
Right into Magnus's lap.
"Magnus!" I yelped and looked at Jace with red cheeks.
"Now that was just rude." Magnus said to Jace.
Jace just raised his eyebrows at us and I blushed brighter, not even trying to get up because I knew that it would be to no avail.
"Now if you would just go, I haven't seen my darling in two day. I'm not giving him back just yet." He said kissing the back of my neck with a smile. "Maybe tomorrow morning. Now goodbye."
"Alec?" Jace looked at me.
I blushed but didn't want to leave as much as Magnus didn't want me to.
"We will talk tomorrow." I promised him.
"Ok then. I'll say something to Hodge I guess." He said and started to turn towards the door only to stop and take something out of his pocket and throwing it to me. "Here."
I caught it midair and looked at it closer.
I was my phone.
"See you tomorrow then." Jace said still a little shocked by all of this before walking out of the door.
"You are unbelievable." I turned to Magnus accusingly.
"I think we have already been over this darling." He said with a smile before kissing me.
"Now what do you say about lunch?"He asked me getting up.
I let him drag me to the kitchen with a smile.
Feeling a lot more at ease then I did yesterday.
Jace knows.
And maybe we will have an incredibly awkward conversation when I get back tomorrow but at least I don't have to hide it from him anymore.
Did I do good? Did you like it? Tell me what you think.
The next chapter will be the talk. I would like to get 10 or 15 reviews before I post that though. So review my darlings.
