A/N: Hey guys, sorry for taking so long to update. I was gonna update last week but didn't have enough time to. But here's the new chapter and I hope you guys enjoy it!

"Alexander?"

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked down, seeing Magnus looking at me with the rare softness I love to see in his eyes.

"Yeah?" I asked, a little dazed.

Magnus playfully pouted a little. "I've been trying to get your attention for the past five minutes but you keep zoning out on me." He complained, glaring a little that I knew was false.

"Sorry. I was thinking." I said.

I was laying in bed with Magnus snuggled into my side, laying his head on my chest while I had my arm wrapped around him.

"What were you thinking about?" Magnus asked softly, the silly childish gone from his voice as he gazed up at me, being serious this time.

"Nothing really. Just enjoying this moment with you." I said, not caring whether I sounded sentimental.

Magnus smiled and I smiled back in response.

"So," I began as I moved onto my side so Magnus and I were face to face. "Why were you trying to get my attention?"

"I was trying to get your attention so you can distract me so I won't go on my phone to see what people were saying about us." Magnus explained exaggeratedly, acting mockingly dramatic to mask what was really going through his head.

I understand how he feels.

The concert where Magnus revealed us as a couple happened two days ago and we haven't heard anything about what's going on. After the kiss, Ragnor and Raphael rushed us off the stage and quickly put us in the limo we came in before the crowds could fully register what just happened. A little while later, Catarina called us to tell us to stay low and stay away from anything considering social media until she and the others say so.

So Magnus and I have been locked up in the apartment ever since, waiting for our friends to give us a hint of news about how everyone was reacting to the truth of us. Hell, we don't even know how our friends reacted to it. I honestly couldn't tell which one felt worse not knowing about.

In order not to panic and give ourselves mental breakdowns, Magnus and I have been trying to distract each other. Which worked . . . For most of the time.

I sighed, subconsciously brushing some strays hair away from Magnus' eyes. "Then stop looking at your phone and pull a 180 on me like you usually do."

"Easier said than done." Magnus said darkly as he handed over his phone to me.

I put his phone on my nightstand — away from his reach — and looked back at him with pity.

Magnus looked up and got a little annoyed. "Alec." He said simply yet rough.

"Sorry." I said, looking down, a little ashamed and embarrassed.

Magnus doesn't like it when people show pity for him, says he doesn't deserve it. I don't know why he said that or why he thinks it. I only know the information because he told me it when we hung out for the first time. After that, he didn't mention it again, probably because there wasn't a reason to until now.

"Hey." Magnus grabbed my chin and lifted my face up, making me look at him. "I didn't mean to say it like that. I'm just stressing out here. Sorry."

I shrugged. "It's okay." I said, understanding where he's coming from.

Magnus smiled, looking a little guilty and kissed my nose — which made me blush — before staring at me again, a distance look in his eyes.

I reached out and cupped his face, brushing my thumb over his cheek, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"I'm scared too." I said, letting him know he wasn't alone in the fear he was feeling.

Magnus weakly smiled and reached up and held my hand, leaning into my touch as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, exhaling as he relaxed.

I smiled back, looking at him like I was mesmerized.

Oh, I can't believe it's true sometimes

Oh, I can't believe it's true

I quickly snapped out of my trance, realizing I was thinking about the lyrics of the song. I pulled my hand away from Magnus' and immediately got up from bed and went to the living room in a sliding style.

"Alexander?" Magnus got up from the bed and followed after me, stopping at the doorway as he watched me try to get my balance back, chuckling a little. "I thought I was supposed to be the one to pull a 180 on someone."

"I changed my mind." I said, getting my balance back then lost it again and fell on the couch.

I puffed, the blown out air making my hair fly up for a second before falling out my eyes again.

Magnus chuckled and before I knew it, he was hovering over me, his face upside down as he smiled.

Even though me rushing out of the bedroom was a ploy for me to get away before I accidentally let the L word slip out to Magnus, I was glad that it made him laugh and smile, getting his mind off his worries.

I playfully glared at him then grabbed him and pulled him over, making him yelp in surprise as he flipped and landed on top of me, both of us laughing as I held him close, acting like I was holding him prisoner.

"You'll forever be held prisoner by me." I said in a fake evil voice as I grinned.

"No, I won't. My prince will save me." Magnus said, laughing as he played along, unable to say it with a straight face.

"No one will save you." I playfully growled.

"He will once I break the spell." Magnus said, finally stopped laughing and just smiled, staring up at me.

"What spell?" I said, forgetting that we're playing a game and just stared at him, loosing my hold on him.

"This one." Magnus reached up and cupped my cheek before leaning up and kissed me on the lips.

I kissed him back without hesitation, gently holding close him to me.

We broke away a moment later and I just stared into his eyes, seeing adoration in them and immediately felt guilty.

"I'm sorry." I said quietly.

"For what?" Magnus asked, confusion clouding his eyes as he furrowed his brow.

"For being such a . . . Jace." I said, unable to think of a better word for it as I shrugged.

Magnus laughed at the word replacement but confusion was still plain on his face.

"I'm sorry for being jerk to you," I said, trying again to explain. "and if I ever made you doubt us-"

"Alexander." Magnus said, cutting me off as the confusion disappeared and I was able to see the kindness and adoration I've come to love appear once again in his eyes. "I forgive you. I don't blame you for acting the way you did." He added as he smiled up at me.

"You sure?" I asked, shifting a little so we can lay on our sides and that we were face to face. "During the weeks that I was cold towards you, you seemed different. Hell, even before that. You would zone out at times, disappear for hours or when I get home, you're either nowhere in sight or fast asleep in different parts of the apartment. I guess since I wasn't exactly acting like myself, I didn't verbally question it much but I did worried about you. I thought I was making you have second guesses about us."
