Until you came along (english)

Chapter 9

Monday morning. Alec had not realized how fast the weekend had gone, he only thought about what happened on Friday night with Magnus. The classes and the university seemed a long way since he had kissed him. He didn't know how to deal with these new feelings that had fallen on him when he was not expecting them at all. But he was sure of one thing: he felt good with Magnus and that was all that mattered.

However, he had another problem in mind: Jason. To his relief, he didn't call him back but Alec knew it was only a matter of time before Jason came back to the charge. He didn't want to tell Magnus about it, but he still hoped it would not get him into too much trouble. And Alec didn't want to say to Jason that he was in a relationship. Who knows what he could do to break his happiness?

Alec put Jason in a corner of his head and decided not to think about it anymore. He prepared himself for classes. He didn't drive Isabelle to university this morning because, exceptionally, she didn't have classes today. So that also means that he won't see Magnus today.

"Always the same ones who are lucky, isn't it?" He said with a wink.

"In fact, you're just sad because you won't see Magnus today, am I right?"

Alec smiled but didn't answered. He didn't want to admit that his sister was right. He looked at his phone: no text from Magnus. He had a twinge in his heart. Maybe he should text him first for once?

"Have a nice day," Alec wrote.

The answer came quickly, as expected.

"You too Alexander. I hope to see you again very soon."

"Me too. We'll organize this!"

Alec put away his phone and realized that he was smiling.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Isabelle asked.

"For nothing."

"Is it Magnus?"

"Izzy, will you stop asking questions for once?"

She burst laughing.

"Have a nice day Alec, and don't think too much about Magnus!"

Alec rolled his eyes, took his bag, his key cars, and then he left to go to university.

"I tell you that he's different, Ragnor."

Magnus was with best friend Ragnor. He had told him everything about Alec.

"And you told me that he's Isabelle's brother, is he?"

"Yes, her big brother."

"Be careful Magnus. It's not the first time that you have your heart broken. How many times did I have to comfort you because of some manipulative girls or mean boys?"

"I swear to you Ragnor, he is not like my other relationships. And he will not hurt me. He is so innocent.

"You're always saying that."

"This time, it's different. I know it."

"And how can you be so sure?"

Magnus sighed, thoughtful.

"Something in him is different. No one is like him. He is ... unique. Really Ragnor, I don't know how to explain but I know that I can trust him."

"I believe you Magnus. I just don't want you to be un happy again, or having your heart broken once more."

Magnus patted him on his arm.

"Don't worry about that. Everything is okay."

"You'll introduce him to me, right?"

"Of course! I really want you to get to know him."

"So, do I! I want to see the face of your prince charming!"

"Believe me, he's perfect."

Ragnor laughed.

"Stop teasing me," Magnus laughed. "I'll introduce him to you on day, don't worry about that."

"I can't wait!"

Then Magnus put on his coat.

"Where are you going?" Ragnor asked.

"Alec finishes classes in less than an hour. I'll go and see him!"

"Right! See you later Magnus!"

Then Magnus left, and he couldn't stop smiling.

There was one hour left to Alec and he could finally go home. He was tired, Monday was one of his most tiring days. He took as many notes as he could, trying to avoid looking at the clock every two minutes.

Finally, it ended. He packed his stuff and when he left, he got a text from Magnus.

"I'm in front of your university's entrance, I'm waiting for you."

Alec's heart leaped in his chest and he hurried out of the room, down the floors and past the front door. Magnus was there and was looking for him. When Magnus saw him, he gave him a big smile. Alec walked over to him and without waiting for it, Magnus pulled him towards him and kissed him softly. Alec smiled.

"I'm so happy to see you," Alec said.

"So I am. You must have known from Isabelle, but we didn't have classes today so I decided to come and see you when you would finish."

"Yeah, indeed that was a good idea. I wanted to see you."

Alec blushed slightly. He wasn't used to express his feelings. Magnus put his hand on Alec's cheek, tenderly.

"Well, you know, I wanted to see you too. Do you want us to go somewhere? In a coffee shop for example?"

Alec nodded. After a day like this, he needed to relax. And if it was with Magnus, it was even better.

They both climbed into Alec's car. Alec was happy that Magnus took the initiative to come and see him. He told himself that he truly matters to Magnus, and that warmed his heart.

They went to the coffee shop not far from Alec's university. They sat a table near the window, which was a quiet corner.

They chatted for a while about everything, until Alec got a text on his phone. He stopped speaking when he saw who had written to him this message.

"Alec, that's Jason. Call me back please, I miss you. I want to talk to you."

Alec read the message, and he didn't know what to do. Magnus noticed his embarrassment.

"Alec, is everything okay?" Magnus asked.

Alec put his phone in his bag. He didn't want to answer to Jason. He tried to take an assured smile and took Magnus's hand in his.

"Yes, everything's alright."

He didn't know if that was the truth.
