"Alec and Magnus, could I talk with you for a few seconds in my office?" Robert asked and was a bit tensed when he thought about the last time he talked with them. "Sure." Alec smiled and they got up after they had a delicious breakfast. Alec and Magnus followed Robert to his offic a bit worried but they didn't really know what to think. "I talked with Ragnor and he told me the same as I told him. We are drwoning in all the requests for an interview with you two together." Robert explained quickly not wanting to let Magnus and Alec wait but both were a bit confused. "Why?" Alec asked and Magnus looked also really interested at Robert who chuckled. "Well Magnus, you are a world celebraty and you are one of them who are openly bisexuell which most people knew but now you have a boyfriend and people have a lot of questions I guess." Robert answered and Magnus sighed a little because that was what he wanted to protect Alec from. "Yeah...so what do you want us to do?" Alec asked and Magnus just stayed quiet because he felt bad that Alecs life was now in the showlight. "I would suggest to arrangage and interview for the next week you can give me a list with all the things you don't want them to ask about and it will be done." Robert answered with a warm smile and Alec nodded not really caring about it anymore. He chose Magnus but he didn't only chose Magnus he also chose the life Magnus lived and if that meant he had to do a few interviews he would do that. Of course Alec was really nervous about it but he knew Magnus would be by his side and that made Alec calm again. "Great. Magnus, I will talk with Ragnor and he will give you all the details then." Robert added with a smile and got up again leaving the two alone in his office. "Alexander, you don't have to do that." Magnus finally found the words and Alec smiled at him. "Magnus, don't worry...with you on my side I can do that." Alec answered taking Magnus hand and Magnus sighed feeling guilty. "But I wanted to keep you away from all this. Of course there are many people who support me but there are also people who try to make me feel bad and I don't want them to hurt you." Magnus said with a weak smile and Alec was so thankful that Magnus cared about him like that but it was really okay. "Then let them hate. I will be okay with you by my side." Alec smiled at Magnus sending butterflies in his stomach and Magnus nodded feeling a bit less guilty. They went back to the kitchen but then Alec heard his parents whispering something and before Magnus could walk in he grabbed his arm. Magnus gave him a what the fuck face but Alec quickly placed a hand in front of Magnus mouth because he wanted to hear his parents. "No...we shouldn't. Just act like nothing is going on." Robert whispered and Maryse sighed not quiet sure what she should do. "He whether doesn't know it is today or he just trys to act cool because of Magnus." Maryse answered with a quiet voice and Alec was confused as hell. They were surely talking anout him and Magnus but he didn't know exactly what. "He looks great...just leave it this time. All these years this day was the worest so don't remember him on it." Robert sighed and his wife nodded also agreeing Alec shouldn't be remembered about the date of today. Alec tried to think what date was today and when he remembered it reality hit him a bit too hard. Magnus felt how Alecs body tensed completely and was now pretty worried. "Alexander, what were they talking about?" Magnus asked taking both of Alecs hands in his trying to make Alec less tense who wasn't even looking at him. "I...I forgot it." Alec mumbled under his breath and was so shocked about it. It was so weird and somehow scarry how he just forgot about it. For years this day was the darkest day in his whole life and today he just forgot about it. "What do you mean?" Magnus asked completely confused and caressed the back of Alecs hands with his thumb. "Today...today is the 24th of August...and I just forgot it." Alec answered totally stunned about it that he needed a few seconds to really let it sink in. "What is with...oh..." Magnus now understood what Alec meant and wasn't quiet sure. How stupid was he to choose that day for the next step? Magnus could slap himself when he realized how insensetive he was and now Alec would probably be mad or hurt but Alec wasn't. "Oh...noo...don't think like that please. I didn't know either...I completely forgot." Alec quickly said when he saw how Magnus was thinking but still he felt a bit overwhelmed. Usually this day was filled with breakdown after breakdown and the most horrible memories whould crash down on Alec but not today. "I...Alec...I don't know what to say." Magnus answered being speechless about the whole situation and Alec tried to find the right words. "Magnus, this...this is amazing...you are amazing. I...I...forgot it." Alec chuckled with tears in his eyes and Magnus looked confused at him. "In the last few years I cursed that day and was so broken but today...I forgot...because of you. You make me forget...you make me feel happy and you make me feel less pain." Alec added with a smile but a few tears ran down his cheeks making Magnus a bit worried. "Don't cry please." Magnus answered softly and whipped them away. "But these are happy tears...they are good." Alec chuckled a little and just couldn't help himself. He carshed his lips together with Magnus who was first a bit shocked but then he melted in the kiss. Today should be an awful day like it was everytime on this day of the year but today Alec felt more alive than ever...//tbc ohh I hope you like it and sorry for the long wait🙈🙈🙈❤❤❤
