The Business Trip

Chapter 8

Magnus got up to the center of the room and the music started playing. Even before the words came out of his mouth, his body was already conveying the words he wanted to say. Alec wished he knew about his dancing capabilities prior to this, because it made him that much more... exotic. Alec could think of many more words to describe him, his body moving with the music, speaking without actually saying anything. He started to blush at the thought, a blush that just grew once the warlock started to sing. To him.

I'm in love with an angel, heaven forbid

Made me a believer with the touch of his skin

I'd go to hell and back with you

Stay lost in what we found.

Worlds apart we were the same

Until we hit the ground

Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm weak

Maybe I'm blinded by what I see

You wanted a soldier but it wasn't me

'Cause I could never set you free

So fly on your own

It's time I let you go

Go, Go

I'm in love with an angel who's afraid of the light

His halo is broken but there's fight in his eyes

Walls are built to keep us safe

Until they're crashing down

Worlds apart we were the same

Until you hit the ground

Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm weak

Maybe I'm blinded by what I see

You wanted a soldier but it wasn't me

'Cause I could never set you free

So fly on your own

It's time I let you go

Go, Go

Walls are built to keep us safe

Until they're crashing down

Worlds apart we were the same

Until you hit the ground

Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm weak

Maybe I'm blinded by what I see

You wanted a soldier but it wasn't me

'Cause I could never set you free

So fly on your own

It's time I let you go

So fly on your own

It's time I let you go

Go, Go, Go, Go

He was singing to him, and he let everyone know it. During the whole song, his body moved. He got up close to Alec a few times and the rest of the time he just stared at him from across the room while dancing.

Alec felt all of the eyes on him, but there was only one pair that mattered. "Im in love with an angel" He had sung. Did this mean that he still loved him? Alec shook his head, of course he still loved him, a little fight doesn't make feelings like that go away. Alec knew that Magnus probably felt the same pit in his stomach that he did ever since they started... arguing. "It's time I let you go" This was exactly what Alec didn't want to happen. Of all the scenarios he had worked out in his head, this was the one he wanted to avoid. Magnus feeling like he wasn't enough for Alec, because in reality he was everything to the shadowhunter. He had to tell him how much he meant to him, to tell him that he did not want to be let go of. Immediately Alec thought back to the song he heard on the bus that morning, the one that made him think of Magnus. He knew what he had to do, as much discomfort as it gave him to even think about it.
