"I'm so sorry." Magnus frowned. "I should have told you first thing but I thought it would scare you away."

"H-h-ow do you know? I mean how did you?" Alec tired to wrap his head around the fact that his secret was getting out. Jace was going to find out, his parents, Izzy. He had been an idiot! Why did he ever start posting those stupod videos? He looked down and saw that his hands were shaking.

It was over, he had lost his secret life, the real side of himself that he kept hidden so he could be free. He looked up at Magnus then back down to his hands.

Magnus slid his hands into Alec's and for some reason the tanned color of Magnus's skin wrapped around Alec's lighter skin was calming to him. Alec let out the breath that he had been holding and relaxed just a tiny bit.

Magnus gave Alec's hand a gentle squeeze then let go because he didn't want to push Alec too far.

"Alexander, it's okay. I will never tell anyone your secret. But, honestly it's nothing you should feel like you need to hide. You're incredible and intelligent and beautiful."

"I'm gay." Alec said bitterly. "And that's all that people will know about me. My parents, my friends, everyone. I can't just be that emo gay guy." Alec shook his head.

"You're not emo." Magnus chuckled and touched Alec's cheek. Alec wanted to be angry but with Magnus looking at him like that he couldn't.

He cracked a smile. "I wear only black and post angsty videos on YouTube."

"You have a blue shirt on which I might add perfectly matches your magnificent eyes." Magnus patted Alec's chest.

"It was my sister's choice. Shit, do you think she knows?" Alec pulled away and ran his hand through his hair.

"Your sister's smart. I'd be more surprised if she didn't know. I'd also be surprised if she cared. You know why she won the contest?" Magnus asked turning back to the coconut milk on the stove just before it started burning.

"If you say because you wanted to meet me I'll punch you." Alec smiled.

Magnus chuckled. "Not at all, did I consider it? Yes. But no, it was because you two together were so real and pure. And she did amazing work. I mean she took an angelic face and made it look even more beautiful."

Alec blushed. "Oh."

"Now, are you going to help me with this or not? I mean unless you want to find a closet in here to look for Narnia."

"Ass." Alec laughed and shoved Magnus lightly. "I was a kid when I came up with that name."

"Hey, I love it!" Magnus said in his defense with a laugh.

"Me too." Alec admitted.

"So, what would get you to take a step out of the closet?" Magnus asked as he turned off the stovetop and dropped in the chocolate.

"Um," Alec ran his fingers through his hair again. He didn't think saying kiss me was the right answer.

"Are you making hot chocolate?" Raphael asked excitedly as he and Izzy walked inside.

"Yes, but not for you." Magnus called back.

"There's no way you can keep it from me Raphael laughed. "Izzy, meet Magnus. Magnus, Izzy."

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe I'm actually meeting you! I'm so freaking happy right now! Can I hug you? I'm going to hug you!" Izzy screamed and ran into Magnus's arms. He thankfully set the pot down right before she jumped on him.

"Ah, uh, hello." Magnus patted her back. "It's nice to meet you."

"Oh my gosh!" Izzy beamed at Alec. "Did you hear that? I can't. Am I dead? Please date him; hell! Marry him!"

"Told you she knew." Magnus winked. "And how about we do this makeup workshop and see how that goes before he proposes to me."

Alec stood there with his mouth hanging open.

"Don't worry he'll catch up." Izzy said. "So what's this?" She stuck her finger in the now melted chocolate. "Oh. Delicious."

"So, about Alec?" Magnus whispered. "Is he single?"

"Only for you." Izzy winked.

A/N So it's decided! We're going to have more of this storyline! Who knew I'd enjoy it so much? Thank you to the many of you who suggested it. Sorry, I might not be able to post tomorrow since I probably won't have service but maybe.
