Hey Alec,
I´m writing you while a boring werewolf is annoying me. He wants me to find him a pack.
I´ll probably send him to Baltimore, I don´t want to burden Luke with that jerk ^^
What are you doing? I bet you´re having more fun than me -_-

From: Alec

Thursday, 14:24

:D How nice of you. Well, we´re training, so... yes I do have more fun than you :P

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 14:32

Only you would call physical torture fun
Client´s gone. I´m watching Desperate Housewives now. So who´s having more fun now? :P

From: Alec
To: Magnus
Thursday, 14:36

Still me :D (I have no idea what that even is)

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 14:38

Oh, shadowhunters and their lack of pop culture knowledge. Sometimes I wonder if you live under a rock.

From: Alec
To: Magnus
Thursday, 14:40

We don´t, for your information. We just have a view for the bare essentials.

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 14:43

The fact that you don´t know Desperate Housewives proves the contrary, darling

From: Alec
To: Magnus
Thursday, 14:46

And Desperate Housewives is so important because...?

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 14:49

OMG, Alexander!
Okay, it´s settled. Tomorrow: Movie/ TV series night. I´m showing you the basics
(We might have to start at 5 in the morning...)

From: Alec
To: Magnus
Thursday, 14:51

Should I be afraid? :o

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 14:52

You should be thrilled. Not everyone has the honor to watch the greatest TV shows of the world with the magnificent High Warlock of Brooklyn

From: Alec
To: Magnus
Thursday, 14:54

...Okay then?
Izzy said she´d cover for me again, so I´ll be over at 8pm?

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 15:02

Great! Your sister is truly amazing. Tell her thank you from me
But I thought you wouldn´t want her to get involved in this?

From: Alec
To: Magnus
Thursday, 15:03

Well, it´s too late for that, isn´t it? I can´t keep a secret from Izzy anyway, she´s like a ninja for secrets hidden from her.

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 15:11

So, you trust your sister enough to keep your secret but you don´t want to talk to your parabatai? I don´t want to pry, but that doesn´t seem very logic to me.b Unless...

From: Alec
To: Magnus
Thursday, 15:20

Unless what?

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 15:22

Nothing. I was just wondering.

From: Alec
To: Magnus
Thursday, 15:34

Well, I don´t think it´s your business, but I don´t want to tell Jace. He has enough going on lately.

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 15:37

Relax, darling, I don´t want to tell you what and what not to do. Just forget about it. Tomorrow at 8?

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 16:55

Seriously Alec, I´m sorry. Could you just answer me now?

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 17:05

Okay, if you´re just sulking now, that won´t get you anywhere. Come back when you´re mature enough to stand by what you are and what you want

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 17:20

If you´re not answering in the next twenty minutes, the date for tomorrow is cancelled

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 17:29

I´m serious here, Alexander!

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 17:41

Okay, okay. I´m sorry for what I said. You´re right. It´s none of my business. Just text me back okay?

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 17:54

You know what? I don´t need you! There´s a long line of people who´d give up everything just to be near me, a line I purposely ignored in favor of you. And you don´t appreciate that. You don´t appreciate me. So fuck you, we´re done!

From: Magnus
To: Alec

Hey Alec
I just reread my last 6 outgoing texts and I see I was kind of... freaking out.
I guess I´m just more invested in this relationship than you are. I never thought I´d get to like you that much after only a few weeks. I knew you are special from the first time I saw you. I just didn´t think you´d be special for me.
It´s strange, you´re probably perfect for me and I kind of hate it. There are so many reasons why we can´t be. You´re a closeted gay nephilim for one. You´re in love with your best friend. And I´m probably not perfect for you. I´m not perfect at all.
I know I should just let you go, but every time I try, I just can´t.
Maybe we could try this, be together as long as we can, which will certainly be only a few more weeks and then go on living our lives. That´s the only way it can work.
This is the most honest text I´ve written to anyone in years, hell, in decades even. And the saddest and at the same time best thing about it is that you´re not going to read it. With this message I´m deleting all of my previous ones, at least the embarrassing ones. That way my dignity is still safe.
Yours
Magnus

Hey Magnus
8 sounds good, I guess I can manage. Sorry about earlier, I was kind of stressed out today. I wanted to text you earlier, but there was a demon attack, so I didn´t have time... I hope you´re not angry with me now

From: Magnus
To: Alec
Thursday, 20:36

Angry? Me? Nah! I´m as cool as a cucumber
See you tomorrow at 8 then :)

A/N: I know Magnus is a bit overreacting in this chapter but I wanted to bring out the vulnerable side of him. And as Alec is going to send quite desperate messages in the future, as we all know, I wanted Magnus to do the same

Also , I'm sorry for any possible mistakes. I'm using a dictionary for words or expressions I don't know so you can blame pons for that ;P
