As promised, here's chapter two! (I will call it "one" though since the other was a prologue...)


Disclaimer: I own none of the characters.


One evening while Alec was out on a hunt…

"I found it!" He shouted scaring Chairman Meow who was dozing off nearby, and causing him to run away panicked and hide.

Ignoring the cat, he ran his hand softly over the ages-old page that held the key to his everlasting happiness.

"Finally…" He whispered, his voice trembling with emotion. "I can finally be happy with him forever… I don't have to lose him… We don't have to die…"

He used plural on the last sentence because he knew, that if Alec were to die, he would too… Maybe not physically, but his soul and heart would die together with his beloved, and he would be left alone to suffer forever wishing he had died with him. A fate far worse than "real" death.

He jumped up beaming, wanting to run to Alec, to find him and tell him everything. But then a thought came to him and he froze in place. 'Immortality is no walk in the park. I was so anxious to find it that I didn't stop to think… My love… How can I do this to you? You will hate me eventually…'

Suddenly Alec's hesitant voice pulled him out of his thoughts. "Magnus?"

Magnus startled. He was too caught up in his discovery that he didn't hear the Shadowhunter enter the loft. "Alec…" He choked out looking up at him, despair in his eyes as he fought with himself trying to decide if he should tell him after all.

The Nephilim was all over him in a second, touching his face carefully, looking deep into his eyes. "What is it? Are you in pain? What happened?"

"My Alec…" He reached out a hand to him and Alec immediately hugged him tightly, while Magnus buried his face on his shoulder, breathing in his scent.

The Nephilim held him, rubbing soothing circles on his back, muttering softly in his ear, mixing English with Indonesian, using the Warlock's mother tongue to calm him down as he started breathing faster. "What's wrong sayang? Bersantai… I'm here, I got you…"

"Alexander, Alec, my Alec…"

"Bayi, you're scaring me… Talk to me please… What happened?"

Magnus took a deep breath and tried to calm himself realising he was having a panic attack at the mere thought of Alec's reaction to his new discovery.

"I… Alec…" He stopped and shook his head.

"What is it?" Alec whispered. "What's wrong? You've been acting weird for the past few days…"

"No… I can't… I can't tell you… My Alec… You're going to hate me…" He muttered on the boy's shoulder.

"Magnus!" Alec caught his shoulders pushing him back gently to make him look at him. Magnus did, biting his lip, a pained expression on his face. "Magnus…" He whispered his name, the pain in the Warlock's eyes hurting him. "I could never hate you! How could you even believe that? After everything… Do you still not know that I love you more than my own life?"

"You do?"

"Of course!" He exclaimed and then hugged him again, whispering in his ear. "Magnus… I'm so sorry I'm not good at showing you, but I love you… I love you more than anything…"

"I love you too my Alec… My precious Alexander, you have no idea how much I love you…"

"That makes two of us then…" Alec smiled kissing his hair. "Because you have no idea either… Now… will you please tell me what's wrong?"

Magnus held him tighter for a moment, then let him go, taking hold of his hand and said, looking into his blue eyes. "Let's go sit on the couch…"

Alec nodded, realising something serious was going on and let Magnus lead him.

They sat down, hands entangled, looking at each other. "I don't know where to start…" Magnus muttered.

The Nephilim squeezed his hands reassuringly. "It's okay… Start wherever you want and tell me everything. I will listen."

Magnus nodded. "I love you." He whispered with fervour. "I love you more than I thought I could ever love anyone. And I need you. God… You have no idea how much I need you… If anything happens to you…"

Alec was looking at him with wide eyes, biting his lip, his heart beating wildly in his chest. Magnus' eyes widened too momentary and he stopped talking and leaned to kiss him. The Nephilim didn't understand why, but leaned to meet him halfway nonetheless, and felt the familiar tingle of magic on his skin when their lips touched softly.

"You're hurting yourself sayang… Relax…" Magnus said and Alec realised he had accidentally split his lip and the Warlock healed him. He forced himself to relax and nodded to show him he was listening. Magnus lovingly ran his fingers over his cheekbone before dropping his hand with a small sigh and then going on.

"I… I'm sorry Alec… I was selfish. I wasn't thinking. All I could think about was how much I want to always be with you, so I didn't stop to think… I didn't think of your feelings about this… I assumed you'd want it but… I… I…"

He stuttered nervously and trailed off, finally falling silent, looking ready to cry, his emerald gold eyes glistening with unshed tears.

"Magnus…" Alec whispered, his own emotions like a storm inside him. He was confused, not understanding what his Warlock was talking about, but the anguish reflected in his lover's eyes, was hurting him. Yet his words themselves made his heart flutter with happiness.

"All I could think about was how much I want to always be with you"

The pain won over the feeling of bliss though, because he could never bear seeing Magnus sad. So he touched his face softly, and then hugged him tightly, trying to comfort him. "Shh… It's okay Mags… Please calm down… Please explain to me… I don't understand… What happened?"

Magnus stayed silent in his arms, breathing slowly and Alec run his hands on his back soothingly, waiting for him to be ready to talk. Five minutes passed in total comfortable silence but the Nephilim was getting anxious to know what was torturing his beloved so he quietly whispered. "Magnus…?"

Magnus nodded once to show he heard him and with a sigh untangled himself from the boy and took his hands again, looking into his eyes.

"I found a way."

"Wha-t?" Alec asked, not understanding.

"Alexander… I… I found a way to make you immortal."

His eyes widened at that and he looked at him at a loss for words, trying to process the new information.

When he didn't speak, Magnus shuffled uneasily on the couch and added. "I know you said you didn't want to be immortal… And I'm so sorry… I wasn't thinking… I…" He trailed off again dropping his eyes.

"Magnus." Alec said steadily, to make him look at him, and when he did, the Shadowhunter added. "I wasn't going to tell you so you won't be hurt, but now I have to…"

"Tell me what?"

"I'm sorry Magnus. I lied to you."

Magnus stared with wide eyes, feeling the cold grip of fear settling in his stomach. "You… lied…? About… what?"


I'm so sorry about that! I promise the next chapter will be up in 48 hours, worst case scenario! (Okay, maybe I'm not very sorry... Hang in there! xD ;P )


According to google translation, "Bersantai" means relax. "Bayi" means baby.


Below is the Review (From the story "Heaven") Which requested this story!
Thank you for the lovely idea btw! ^_^
(Be warned, it's "spoilerish" to that story.)

Guest2 chapter 1 . Dec 10, 2015

I love this story! I'd like to make a request too if that's okay :)
I have read a few stories where Alec becomes immortal to be with Magnus forever. I like those stories, but usually Alec becomes a vampire and I hate that, Alec said he didn't want that. Could you maybe do one where he becomes a warlock instead?
Wow this is a long review. Anyway, if you would consider writing this I would be eternally grateful (no pun intended :P)
