What the hell is Alec doing? He had a cello bog, maybe, and a crazy smile. He looked like a kid who's had too much sugar but hadn't been caught sneaking the cookies. I was slightly worried about my boyfriend.

I nearly squealed out loud just at the thought of the word boyfriend associated with Alexander. It was such an amazing and scary idea. What if I screwed this up?

But I couldn't think about that now. Alec was already in the middle of my living room and slowly unzipping the case. He pulled out a guitar and dropped Jacob's leash. As usual the dog walked beside
Alec till he sat down on a barstool in the middle of my living room. His face was beautiful, again, as usual and his smile was radiant. A light blush played over his crème colored cheeks and suddenly he stood up and turned to face my direction. I still was standing in the door way, still confused at what exactly he was doing. Alec suddenly struck an extremely provocative pose and beckoned me with his index finger.

I burst out laughing and shut the door. I made my way to the middle of the room and went to give Alec a hug but he merely grabbed my hand and turned me to the other side of the room where the coaches and the entry way to the kitchen were.

"Sit. I have a present." Shaking my head, I slowly made my way over to my favorite zebra print coach. I slowly sat on the coach and stared in wonder at the sight before me.

Alec was slowly strumming on a faded mahogany guitar. His eyes were closed but you could tell he was focused. His fingers slowly moved up and down the neck and I couldn't help but stare. It was so amazing and the sound was so beautiful it made my heart hurt. Then he began to sing.

My heart stopped at the small voice that began to creep out of the blue eyed boy in front of me. It was beautiful and sad and so Alec it wasn't even funny. His shoulders were more relaxed than I had ever seen them and he looked so at home behind the faded piece of wood. The words flowed out of him and I realized with a laugh what song he was singing.

"I've seen sad dark times.

And I have waited for the sun to rise.

I've seen sad dark times

And waited for the rain

All I know is whenever I am far from home

There are nights when words seem out of place." Ron Pope was one of my favorite singers and to think he sang a song from one of my favorite singers for me was so sweet. My heart nearly exploded and a huge smile played over his face. My breathing cached as a sexy rasp entered his voice as he tried to hit a higher and longer note. I started muttering my "Go slow" mantra but .. he was my boyfriend. No! I needed to be patient. I could wait. I would wait.
As Alec strummed the last cord he opened his pale blue eyes and a single tear made a crystal track down his cheeks. He quickly raised his hand to wipe it away and shut his eyes again. He turned away from my direction and I felt a jolt of pain as I looked at his skinny frame sitting in the shadows of my dark living room. I wanted to go over, wrap him up and protect him from the pain of his own mind, but I knew he would just get mad and feel like I thought he was weak. Only the exact opposite was true. Alexander was so strong, but he was his own worst enemy and I felt broken because I couldn't figure out how to help him.

Alec sucked in a breath and muttered, "sorry." I shook my head and got up. I slowly walked over to him, unsure what exactly I was going to do. Once I got to him I just put my hand on his shoulder. I felt the muscles contract as he slowly turned to face me.

"So .. did you like it. I'm sorry it wasn't really a present. It's just I didn't have time and-"

"Alexander shut up." A small smile played over my lips. We were going to have to make that a catch phrase. "That was so beautiful and I couldn't imagine anything that you could have bought me that would have topped that." I hesitantly brushed his hair back, not trusting myself.

"I'm not going to break Magnus." Alec said with a small frown. He had no idea.

"I never thought you would. I just don't want us to break." My voice was too quiet. He couldn't have heard me. I shut my eyes but opened them suddenly as Alec's soft lips brushed my cheek.

"Damn it! I missed." I started laughing ridiculously hard at the shy smile that had trickled onto Alec's delicate but powerful features. That's it. Forgetting my slogan for the last 2 weeks I said,

"My turn. I think I'll have better aim though." Alec giggled and I slowly leaned down closing the small distance between us. His lips were slightly chapped but extremely warm. I smiled against his mouth.

Alec slowly slid his hands to my hips. Suddenly I shuddered as he traced small circles with his thumbs on the exposed skin between my untucked purple button up and my dress pants. Alec pulled away and started muttering apologies again.

"ugh you are so thick." I snatched his mouth again and murmured in between kisses, "Don't you dare be sorry."

Alec smiled and said slightly out of breath, "Sorry," before kissing me again.
