Summary:
He can’t believe, doesn’t want to believe, that he canceled his wedding, kissed Magnus in front of the entire Clave, all for nothing. It can’t have been for nothing. He’s been keeping Magnus at more than arm’s length, ignoring his calls and his presence around the Institute. Alec knows that Magnus is only lending his services to help find Jace, because it’s important to Alec. Alec knows he’s being too careful. He knows that relationships aren’t set in stone. He knows that either of them could die at any moment. But he can’t imagine the hurt that Magnus would feel if they started something and Alec were to die. He can’t be the reason for Magnus’s pain.
Or at least, he couldn’t.
