Summary:

They haven’t sparred ever before, always preferring to fill their free time with other date activities, but when Magnus has swung by and declared Alec needed a break lest he grows roots behind his desk, Alec couldn’t bring himself to say no, didn’t want to say no.

So, while he went ahead to fetch them some weapons from the cache and get changed into more comfortable clothes, he left Magnus to do the same. Even having expected something different than the wonderful dark navy suit, Alec could not help but stare, as he entered the training hall.

Because holy shit, there are very few things hotter than Magnus and one of them is definitely Magnus in workout gear.

Summary:

Ironic. That the thing Magnus feared the most was also what Alec had been afraid of. What he’d always somewhat known, in that little part of his mind that he tried so hard to silence. The voice that being with Magnus had almost silenced. That he, Alexander Lightwood, was both too much and not enough for the person he loved.

Too much: too demanding, too needy, to inexperienced, too apt to making mistakes, too draining, too useless.

Not enough: not good enough, at being a boyfriend, at being a leader, at being an ally. Not strong enough for Magnus to want to lean on, not open enough for Magnus to want to pour himself into. The little bit he had – which was everything he had – wasn’t enough to keep them together, wasn’t worth the effort.

He wasn’t worth the effort.

Summary:

Everything is going to hell in a hand basket, but Alec can sit here for five minutes to stay out of the rain and enjoy a cup of coffee, right?

Right. That’s totally why he’s sitting at the coffee shop just round the corner from Magnus’ loft, staring at his ex-boyfriend’s apartment building.
