Summary:


He had been in love with Magnus for a long time, but lately it was as though the tension between them had been rising, just waiting to snap, and there was something so indescribably terrifying about jumping into that unknown that it had consumed his thoughts. Before, any relationship with Magnus other than friendship had always been seen through a lens of impossibility, but all of the idle touches and long gazes that had been occurring in recent months had Alec on edge constantly, waiting for something, anything, to happen.
