Dear Mum and dad,

How are you? I hope you're okay up there because at the moment everything's not okay down here. The school the Bane's enrolled me in is alright but everyone there basically knows the truth about me, you know that I killed you guys and what the caretakers did. Also I kind of kissed my new brother, not on accident, but on purpose…. Yeah so I really wish that you guys were here right now I really need you.

I hope you guys are okay.

Love

-Alec.

Alec shut his journal and slid it under his pillow. He ran his hair through his shaggy hair.

When did my life get so messed up? He thought.

When you killed your parents, the little voice said, that's when your little life got messed up.

Alec shut his eyes and willed for the little voice to go away and to stop thinking about everything.

"Uhh… Alec?"

Alec's eyes shot open and he saw Magnus standing in the doorway with a stack of school books in his arms.

"Oh sorry I didn't hear you come in" Alec said, getting up off his bed and grabbing some of the books out of Magnus's arms.

They sat on Alec's bed and Magnus started telling and teaching Alec all about what he's missed out on. Surprisingly Alec knew most of it.

I guess the school at the orphanage wasn't that bad, Alec thought.

"Alec" Magnus said "you know about before, I'm really sorry about it all, I shouldn't have done what I did."

Alec blinked in surprise "Oh…" he said not really sure what to say "I uh… don't know what to say… so um… you're forgiven…" Alec tried to smile but it probably looked like a grimace.

Magnus smiled and hugged Alec "I know that I like you in a way that brothers aren't supposed to like each other but I can't help it you're just too cute" Magnus said, bopping Alec on the nose "I'll just keep my feelings to myself I guess."

Alec's eyes widened Magnus liked him, as in like, liked him!

Magnus pulled back "Shit I should not have said that!" he ran a hand through his spiky, causing some glitter to fall out. "Alec, I'm sorry again, I just can't keep my mouth shut can I?"

Magnus's POV

Oh Crap! Magnus thought, that was the most stupid thing to do Magnus!

Magnus looked at Alec, Alec's beautiful blue eyes were wide with shock. Magnus opened his mouth to speak again but it was covered by Alec's and.

"Don't speak" Alec said, Magnus nodded his eyes still on Alec's adorable face, "I need to tell you something" Alec said, his face serious.

Oh Crap, he's gonna tell me that I'm a creep and I should stop being creepy and stick to my terrible ninja skills! Magnus thought.

"I think I like, like you to" Alec said slowly, he still didn't remove his hand, "I kinda thought you were attractive when you came up to me at the orphanage and I guess that it just escalated from there."

Magnus watched as Alec sighed and looked away, running his hand through his jet black hair as he did.

"And when we kissed I knew it was wrong, but it just felt so right" Alec said, he looked up at Magnus his blue eyes slowly filling with tears, "Do you know what I mean?" he asked.

Magnus nodded and thought about Alec and how hard his life is for a moment, he's still getting over his parents death, the caretakers at the orphanage touched him, he got adopted into a family he didn't want, everyone at school hates him and his adoptive brother shoved his tongue down his throat a few hours ago.

Alec took in a shaky breath and dropped his hand from Magnus's mouth.

"When has my life become so messed up?" Alec asked, looking up through his lashes at Magnus.

Magnus smoothed down some of Alec's hair "your life isn't messed up" he told the blue eyed boy "It's just a little complicated at the moment."

Alec smiled a little, making Magnus's heart flutter.

"Can we just forget that this afternoon happened?" Alec asked.

Magnus wanted to say no, that he didn't want to forget about what happened, but he knew that Alec has been through a lot and he shouldn't be using Alec for his own selfish needs.

"Sure" Magnus said, nodding, "we can forget about all this tomorrow."

"thanks Magnus" Alec said.

"No problem" Magnus said, "But could we maybe forget that we're adoptive brothers and kiss one last time?"

Magnus knew that he was asking for a lot but he really wanted to feel Alec's soft lips against his own again.

Alec nodding, surprising Magnus, "Sure" Alec said shrugging.

Magnus's eyes widened but he moved closer to Alec, he brushed a strand of Alec' black hair out of his face, leaned in and kissed him.

Alec kissed back, surprising Magnus yet again, The kiss was slow and sweet at first but as it moved along it became faster and more desperate.

"Ow.." Alec mumbled against Magnus's lips.

Magnus pulled back, "what is it did I hurt you?"

Alec shook his head "It's just the bruise on my jaw, I'm fine."

Magnus nodded and looked into Alec's eyes "okay."

Alec leaned up and crushed his lips against Magnus's, Magnus's eyes widened but he still kissed back. He pushed Alec back and climbed on top of him kissing at the tender skin on Alec's neck.

Magnus heard Alec let out a soft moan.

"M-Magnus" Alec whispered.

"Mmm?" Magnus hummed, against Alec's skin.

"We should Ah! Stop" Alec stammered "someone could walk in."

Magnus nodded, but captured Alec's lips again, someone shifted and some school books fell off the bed crashing to the floor.

Alec sat up and looked at Magnus with flushed cheeks and swollen lips, "We should, um, pick them up" he mumbled, a darker shade of red creeping up onto Alec's cheeks.

Magnus nodded and got on the floor and started picking up the books, Alec came down and helped. Once they were down and Magnus had all of his books Magnus went to the bedroom door.

"Goodnight Magnus" Alec said.

Magnus turned around and winked "Night Alexander" Magnus opened Alec's door and walked down the hall to his bedroom.

Magnus walked into his room and threw his books down on his desk and flopped down on his bed. He didn't want to forget about the afternoon at all, it was too good to forget. Even if he tried to forget he couldn't the feel of Alec's lips on his was too fantastic to forget.

Magnus groaned and shoved a pillow over his face. He wanted Alec so badly it hurt, but the thing was he didn't know how to get Alec. He sat up he knew what he had to do, he got up off the bed and walked out of his room and down the hall.

Magnus had to talk to someone he knew he could trust, someone who he knew would have the answer. Magnus walked down the stairs and started to search for his mother because he knew that she would have the answers.

so yeah... causally ends it there :D please review and tell me what you think because I'll give you some pie if you do (if you don't like pie you can have cake, cookies, pancakes, bacon whatever!)

xoxo

-Kate.
