And yes, my darling XMizzTuraX, you did give me a challenge and I think I'll respect it ;) I do have some advance in this story and it shouldn't delay Kissed too much. This story is mostly all figured out and it give me a little breath of fresh air between the harsh times of my lovely Kissed (I hear you PplAreBeahh, we are on the same page here lol!) So you can plan another update tomorrow for TKUTA, around the same time :) And Kissed, for my readers of this story, should be updated the latest on Friday... (the latest! I'll try earlier!). Hope you enjoy this new chapter, we see a little flirty Alec here, maybe OOC, but I looooove when Alec is bold a bit ;) I prefer it to the virgin maiden he's painted out to be most often! Gotta have some Magnus in me lol!

Chapter 2: A Coffee and A Cat

I was waiting impatiently in the cold morning of November with a very grumpy Chairman Meow. Usually he enjoyed our little escapade but today his fur was all bristled and he was curled up in a little fur ball. I must admit it was a bit cold for a November morning in New York, 47 only when at this time we could expect near 50-55, and the Chairman was angry with me. I sighed in irritation and looked at my cell phone, obviously usually hidden in the depths of my pockets, and saw that it was only 6h45am. Overeager would you say? Yes absolutely. I placed back my phone in my skinny jeans pocket, enjoying the red tattered pants so comfortable, and pulling down my purple ratty sweater on top of it. Thank god, when planning my character, I had thought about a worn out leather coat, some colorful fringed scarf, knee-length buckled boots and studded fingerless gloves. At least I wasn't freezing.

I was fidgeting like a teenage girl, fingering my spiked-up hair, hoping that the red streaks and red eyeliner would make my eyes stand out when my handsome stranger came walking toward me, head ducked with shyness... and two coffee cups in his hands? My heart stuttered and raced, wondering if the blue eyed angel was perfect enough to bring a complete stranger, and homeless, let's not forget that, a hot coffee even if I had requested it on a whim? My question was answered when sexy boy stood in front of me uncertainly, with a self-conscious smile on his luscious lips. He held out one of the cup to me, who was speechless and staring. I took it mindlessly and my angel's smile grew confident.

- « Caramel latte, right? With lot of whipped cream? » I cleared my throat and nodded warily. « Now, I thought I was the one supposed to stare? How is it fair that I'm the one bringing coffee and you're the one who gets to stare also? » He got me there and I choked on my cup of burning coffee, which was delicious.

And he laughed... He had the most open and carefree laughter I had ever heard. It was deep and rumbled out with a contagious glee. Most of all, it made his blue eyes sparkle with all the changing color of the sea and the brightness of a summer sky. And he had dimples! I was now openly gawking and I would have lost all dignity by ogling for an incalculable amount of time if Chairman hadn't save me with all the grandeur of his soul. He would definitely deserve a fish feast tonight. My lovely feline decided that my (yes I was already referring to him as mine, so what?) delicious angel was of interest and after stretching gracefully, went to smell the newcomer. Approving, he was soon brushing against his leg and purring, giving him the eye. Chuckling slightly, he bent down to pet the Chairman who was delighted. I must say I was rather jealous but it gave me the chance to find some countenance and I could finally talk without choking.

- « The Chairman likes you, you're lucky. » I said smiling. I knew how my cat could be difficult with my conquests. Then, I remembered the coffee and not wishing to be rude, thanked him quickly. « Thanks for the coffee by the way, didn't think you would call me on it. » A small blush was near to bloom on my cheeks. Really? I hadn't blushed since High School, wasn't that embarrassing...

- « No problems. I always thought coffee was the best thing to start my day and I guessed you could do with one. » He said, straightening even if Chairman gave him his saddest cutest look possible. « Chairman, huh? Peculiar name for a special animal. I suppose I should be flattered of the attention. » My blue-eyed man said with a slow smile.

- « Believe me, you should. » I said, laughing. I took a sip of my latte and eyed him over the rim, swooning over the blue eyes, black ruffled hair and black leather coat with some baggy jeans. He was so handsome. He noticed my staring and blushed deliciously. I grinned widely; I had dreamt of that blush... it was so sexy.

- « Well... » He said, rubbing the back of his head in nervousness, clearing his throat. « I better get going or else I'll be late. See you tomorrow, I guess? » He said, voice catching when he asked about my being here the next day. Shivers of anticipation went down my spine.

- « Of course, blue eyes. Wouldn't miss the delicious latte... and your handsome face. » I said with a small snigger. « My name's Magnus by the way. » He smiled cheekily.

- « OK Magnus, see you tomorrow and you too Chairman. » He said, looking down at my small cat that had his tail wiggling in contentment. I totally understood how he felt; I wished I could do the same as well... « And I hope tomorrow I'll be the one staring. That was our deal! » He said with a mischievous gleam in his eyes. I was hooked.

He was walking toward the metro before I had the presence of mind to call out to him.

- « Hey gorgeous! » I shout out and he looked up, halfway down the metro's staircase with an inquiring look. « Will I get your name, cutie? Or maybe you prefer the pet names? I better warn you that I'm very imaginative with these. » I said with a toothy grin.

He blushed again but giggled a little, heaven to my ears. He yelled out before going downstairs.

- « Maybe tomorrow! »

His smile followed me all day, the sound of his voice and laughter a drug in my veins. I already felt withdrawal. Nothing would stop me from seeing him again tomorrow. He was p-e-r-f-e-c-t and I wasn't going to let him slip... Even though we had met under false pretenses. I would have to keep up the appearances. I thought I could live with that...

Alec's pov

On my way to work, the New York University, I was floating on a cloud. I knew it was stupid to have caught my eye on someone who might have some serious personal problems but it didn't bother me that much. I had gone through rough moments myself when my parents had kicked me out and I wasn't the kind of person who would judge someone solely on the fact they were homeless. Usually, there was always a story behind each of these persons that would get you crying in record time. And Magnus was fascinating. He didn't look like he was on drugs, believe me I would know, and he seemed very concerned with his appearance and self-hygiene, which was a big plus for him. As I said, he probably had a very sad sob story and was trying to manage with the few he had. It gave me more hope about his wills to change and make things better in his life than most of my colleagues in their cozy, preserved universes. For them, simply learning how to work their computers properly was an unbearable task!

I loved my job at the University. Desktop support technician was demanding toward social contacts (and people's stupidity in general) but it paid the bills, now that I was on my own, and it was close enough to what I had dreamed of doing. Starting my own company of advanced security for network files system and private data of sensitive nature had long ago turned to ashes. When my parents had kicked me out, because I am gay, I was on my own and couldn't pay my college grades. I had been lucky enough that one of my teacher, Mr. Garroway, decided that I was good enough with computers and system maintenance to suggest my name as a technician at the University. Although, there had been some times when I didn't have much to eat... The bills hadn't stop coming and I had struggled more than once. Now that I had some sort or reputation, an acknowledged expertise at work and a higher paycheck, things were going well... or not so bad.

That's why I was eager to know more about "Magnus" and his intriguing good nature and happy-go-lucky attitude. We seemed to enjoy each other well enough to get this further and I hoped it would. Although, I was way too shy to make the first step, I would for sure leave earlier tomorrow morning, grab some caramel latte for my cat's eyes beauty and spend some time chatting with one of the rare man that had lit my interest lately... It had been so long I had actually enjoyed sex that I wasn't even sure I would remember how to do so. Well... I would definitely learn that back quickly enough. Just thinking about the lean, sexy man, my blood was boiling... yep, interesting indeed. I couldn't wait to go through the day and meet him again the next morning. Without realizing it, I was humming gently on the metro; my mood happier than it had ever been in a while.

Hope you loved it darlings :) Please review *puppy face*, you know it makes me happy XD
