Sorry I didn't post sooner. I feel lazy today. Well lazier than usual. Anyway after getting an amazing 20 reviews you guys deserve the next chapter. So here you go. Hope you like it.

I followed Church in silence.

Magnus really didn't let me leave until this morning. I am most definitely not complaining-haven't slept this good in two days- but I also knew that I owe Jace a better explanation.

On the way back my mind was racing with all the possible ways this could end up. It would definitely be an awkward talk but there was no way around it.

It has to be done.

I sighed. Oh how I wish it doesn't.

Church stopped in front of the training room and meowed.

"You better have taken me to Jace this time." I eyed the cat before walking inside.

It has happened before. I ask him to take me to Jace and end up in front of Hodge or Izzy or even my father.

Luckily or not this time he took me to the right place.

As I entered the room I could immediately see Jace. He was doing pushups and looked up when I came closer.

He jumped back up to his feet and turned to the bench without a word.

I got the message and followed him. Sitting down beside him awkwardly.

What do I do now?

"So…" I started, my level of awkwardness rising even more.

"I slept on it." He said while looking at nothing in particular.

"That's good." I hoped with everything that it was.

Yesterday when he left I could see that he didn't want to. That it all hadn't sunk in yet. And I understand that he needs time. That it's a shock and he needs to understand it more first. That I need to explain. But I just don't want him to be opposed to it.

He doesn't like Magnus. I get that. I understand how he can have problems with him being a Downworlder. But he also doesn't know him.

Maybe if he knew more about him…

"I just…I just don't understand." Jace said taking me back out of my thoughts.

"What don't you understand?" I looked at him questioningly. But I was expecting that. He's bound to have questions.

"You being with a Downworlder." He finally turned to me. "They are our enemies. You hate them."

"Why does everyone think that?! I don't hate them. I never did."

"But with Izzy-"

"That was different. She's my sister, I just protect her. If she was dating a mundane I would act the same. I was just looking out for her." I explained.

"And you're really together with him?" He asked me with a raised eyebrow.

I nodded.

"Alec, you know that this is...bad, right? If anyone finds out that you are dating a Downworlder...If Maryse and Robert do-"

"I know. Believe me I know how wrong and bad this all seems. I have thought about it more than enough. And I'm aware of all the ways it can get even worse in seconds." I said looking down at my hands and remembering all the sleepless nights I spent worrying because of it.

"Then why date him? Why risk it?"

"Because I love him. I really love him Jace. And this all feels so right to me. It has from the beginning. You can't choose who you love." I sighed.

Jace put his hand over mine and I looked up at him.

"And you're sure he's not threatening you or pushed you into this with a debt? Put a spell on you?" He said seriously but I could see in his eyes that he was partially joking.

"I'm sure Jace." I said with a smile. "He didn't do anything to me. We just met one day and somehow ended up here."

"So every time you were taking a walk-"

"I went to him." I finished.

"I knew it." He said suddenly sounding gleeful. "I mean I thought it was a girl but still. Angel…I can't believe I didn't know you're gay."

I tensed waiting for the accusations to start.

"I don't blame you though." He sighed making me look at him again. "I don't know why you didn't tell me. Whether you don't trust me enough or something else…I'm just glad I know now. And it really won't change anything between us."

"Thanks."

"But seriously, what do you see in him?! I would never expect someone like that to be your type. Even if I knew. He just looks so... he wears glitter!" He said like it's the biggest and best argument in the world.

I laughed. "I know that."

"No, but Alec- you seriously need to explain to me what you see in him because I can't think of anything."

Talk about Magnus?! With Jace?! I thought feeling horrified. That is so not happening.

"I'm not talking with you about this. Izzy has been trying to make me talk to her about it and that as well as this is not going to happen."

"Izzy knows?!" He asked looking hurt again.

Shit.

"Yeah she found out by accident a few months ago." I told him feeling even more guilty now.

"Oh, I see."

"Jace it's not like I trust her more than you." I put my hand on his shoulder feeling like I needed to fix this. "She was just at Magnus's party and saw us."

"It's fine Alec. Really." He didn't sound so fine but I let it go knowing that he is coping with things in his own way. "But one thing has been nagging me since yesterday."

"And that is?" I asked scared of the answer a little.

"Magnus is really expensive…Has he been helping us only because you're dating him or has this been going on even before that?"

I sighed in relief. "I think we started dating before that."

"You think?"

"Well the first time he healed me we were on our first date so I'm not sure if we had already started dating or not. But yes, he has been helping me since then. Mostly without me asking. He forced me to let him heal me a few times too…" I trailed off.

Jace laughed. "Well I guess anyone who is making sure that you are ok is ok in my book. Even though he is annoying."

I grinned. It's good. Everything is good. And Jace doesn't hate Magnus.

"Well then now that were done with this…" He got up on his feet. "What do you say to a little one on one? You missed training yesterday. Even though by the looks of it, when I left, I'm sure you got enough exercise." He said grinning.

I blushed- cursing my pale skin for a millionth time-and got up myself.

"You're on." I took a blade choosing to ignore his last statement.

We walked to the middle of the room and took our positions. Both with grins on our faces.

A little bit of parabatai love.

I don't know if I did this one right or not but I hope you liked it.

Anyway you know the drill; I'm not posting for any less than 15 reviews so review my lovelies. Back to Malec fluff on the next one.
