It’s been so long since anybody made him feel like this, so long since he let anybody care for him, but Magnus wants. He wants to let go. He wants to stop fighting. He wants to let someone in, after so goddamn long locking everyone out.

Summary:

When Magnus Bane walks into Alec’s third grade classroom, a scowl printed on his face and a permanent chip on his shoulder, Alec has no idea that, one day, this scrawny smart-ass will mean the world to him.

He has even less idea that he’ll mean just as much to Magnus.

In which Magnus and Alec are destined for each other, everyone around them can see it, and sometimes, love is found in the most unexpected places.

(Childhood best friends to lovers AU, set over fifteen years.)

He may be like Will, a comparison he can sort of understand, but that doesn’t mean that he’ll be lucky enough to have what Will does. Someone who looks at him as though he’s the only important thing worth attention – for an orphaned kid like him, the force of a love that strong is something he’s only dreamed of.
