Epilogue

It was a comfortable March afternoon, Alec was sitting on a bench in the platform, facing the hollow dark tunnel. His phone quietly laying inside his pocket, being tossed by the slender fingers. He was wearing an apricot woolen sweater which Magnus stole, saying the color matched his skin. Alec didn't give much of a thought on coloring.

Just the announcement of the arrival of incoming train echoed in the station, his phone vibrated.

"Simon?"

"Hey, Alec. I'm in the middle section."

"Alright, don't go anywhere."

Put his phone into the jeans' pocket Alec stood up and started walking. Simon was standing still in the platform not far away from the exit, waiting for Alec to reach him. Their eyes met and that instant both grinned at each other.

"Give me a hug!" Simon exclaimed as he opened his arms, expecting Alec to fly into his embrace. Of course Alec wouldn't do so; the vampire pouted after Alec punched him lightly at his bicep, said childishly.

"Ooohhhh, I'm hurt."

He soothed his chest, looking at Alec rather plaintively. Alec chuckled when he took the suitcase from Simon's hand.

"Don't start."

They climbed the stairs and soon arrived at Taki, a place Magnus introduced Alec to. To be honest Alec preferred mundane food, but with Simon he thought Taki would be a better choice. After the waiter led them to a table and wrote down their lunch orders, they went with their routine.

"How is your mother doing?"

"They are having a wedding, which, I would like to comment – VERY exhausting."

Simon complained, resting his elbows on the edge of the table. He hadn't changed much, but he was paler than the last time he saw him, which was already half a year ago.

"You must include me on the guest list, I'd love to attend."

Said wholeheartedly and he received a snort from Simon. "If you like to torture yourself by listening superb sugary vows I guess there's no stopping you. I'm warning you though, don't laugh when you see me."

He had heard that Simon would be the flower boy regardless of his age. Couldn't help but having the picture of Simon wearing floral crown floated around his mind, Alec bit his bottom lip to control his snickers.

Knowing what he was doing, Simon sighed wearily.

"I hate you… Oh thanks." The waiter delivered their drinks, Simon sipped at his coffee.

"What about you, Alec? How does it go with Magnus?"

"Nothing!" His grips on the lemonade tightened, and obviously Simon noticed that little gesture. "Really? Because we all know what you two are doing, you're just too shy to admit it."

"There's really nothing."

Alec confirmed firmly as he pushed the glass to the center. Meeting with Simon was great, but there was some painful part of Simon making fun of his affection to Magnus. It took him a great willpower not to slap the vampire in the face.

"Whatever, just send me an invitation when you two decide to get married."

He laughed when Alec groaned lowly, nose wrinkled in distaste. Simon always liked to tease him about his relationship with Magnus and Alec would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy it, because he did. There was something between them Alec couldn't describe what they were. It had been bothering him ever since Alec had settled down in Manhattan with the help of the warlock. Every night before sleep he would think of Magnus, of his smile and warmth from his body.

With the troubling thoughts Alec forked the spaghetti into his mouth, chewing forcefully.

After dropping off Simon at the hotel Alec went to work. He was working in an animal shelter for a year now, sterilizing homeless animals and getting them a family. It always lightened up his day when a kitten was adopted, or received an email telling him how much happiness the dog had brought to the family. It was all about the small things that kept Alec going, because it made him believe in himself. He wasn't the helpless teenager on the street anymore. Alec too, had the ability to give.

As usual today he had to feed the tortoises and rabbits, then he had to prepare for the next week's adoption events. Scanning the shelter, Alec sighed. There was way too many animals in here.

Toby slowly moved slowly toward Alec, who was holding half of the remaining stem as another half was snatched by White. The young adult scratched around Cherry's neck. The tortoiseshell cat purred and closed her eyes, enjoying her servant's service. Smiling fondly, Cherry reminded him of Magnus; they had the same eye colors. There were differences, but both beautiful in their own ways.

Alec stood up as everyone was full, he unplugged the claws on his sweater and deposited Cherry on the ground, leaving the old cat in a room full of rabbits and tortoises. Returned to his seat, Alec started working on the adoption events.

He jumped when a hand slammed on his desk. Looked up from the piles of papers Helen said to him with a serious face.

"Go home Alec. It is six already. Leave them for tomorrow."

Glancing at the clock, Alec shot up from his seat and messily slipped the papers into the files. He was late for the annual gathering.

While everyone was here except Alec, Magnus began to worry if the blue-eyed boy was too into his work again. Secretly he liked to call him boy – it just clicked for Magnus. Alec had aired his opinion about being a man shouldn't be called a boy, Magnus complied. On the surface.

They were in the living room, attentions drawn to the golden-haired toddler. Simon generously bought figures for Max and played with him on the floor. Clary and Jace preparing food in the kitchen, trusting the vampire wouldn't corrupt their son with manga and nerd stuff. On the other hand, Magnus was petting Chairman on the couch, waiting impatiently for Alec.

The buzzer went off when the minute hand moved to the 6.

"It must be Alec."

Magnus went for the door and a while later a panting Alec emerged from the stairs. Judging from past experience the boy must have immersed in his work and forgot the time.

"Sorry, hope I'm not too late." Said between his breaths, Alec walked in and hung his bag on the hook. Magnus could smell the fresh grass on his sweater. And expectedly, few more holes decorated the sleeves. Those cats had no sense of fashion, Magnus thought.

Closed the door, Magnus yanked Alec back, who was trying to get into the living room. He ran his fingers in the tangled black hairs, mumbled.

"Alec, did you brush your hair this morning?"

Alec's eyes were darting around, at anywhere but Magnus. He grinned in his heart – this was too adorable.

"Yes!" Alec grumbled, wanted to take away Magnus's fingers in his hair but failed when Magnus caught his instead. His smile widened when the cheeks flushing, he caressed the knuckles.

"I would not let you leave like this, if you wasn't insist on going home changing."

Although Alec was living in Manhattan while Magnus's apartment was in Brooklyn, Alec tended to spend most of his nights at Magnus's. They hadn't done anything cross the line, simply sharing each other's company. Alec would make up silly reasons to stay, he wasn't objecting though.

They shared a bed, but nothing further ever happened. In the past Magnus would have jumped the boy on the first night, but it was Alec. Not only did Magnus want his body, but he also desired his heart; and this had to be done step by step.

Sometimes he would steal a kiss or two, testing the limit. And he triumphed when Alec didn't refuse; when in the right mood, Alec would response heatedly, and the normal night then turned into a hot make-out session. Regrettably, it had only happened once.

They stopped at kissing because Magnus didn't want to pressure the boy. He wasn't sure if Alec was ready for his first serious romantic relationship. So Magnus took his time.

He bended down for a kiss and surprisingly Alec lifted his head to meet him midway. The shorter man was not into PDA, even holding hands in public would make him blush like a walking cherry bomb. They could be caught by Simon, Clary or Jace. Yet Alec pulled him closer by dragging his collar, deepened the kiss.

When Magnus was about to push Alec on the wall, Jace's yell from the kitchen destroyed the moment.

"Now bring your lazy asses over here. Dinner is ready!"

His sigh in annoyance contrasted with the chuckles from Alec. The boy placed his palms on Magnus's chest, said coyly while his stare fixed on the ground.

"We should talk tonight…"

"Definitely."

The End… Hope the ending pleases everyone :D

And I'm thinking writing a short AU of Mechanic!Alec and Robot!Magnus, I have some ideas. However, currently I'm a bit busy so it might have to wait for two months or so. Leave you opinion and ideas in the review?
