A/N- Hey sorry I haven't updated this in a while, I've been pretty busy with school and just life. Sorry, but this chapter is short. I'm still trying to figure out where to go with this fanfic. I promise it'll get better. Enjoy.

Alex POV

Earlier that day, I had snuck into Magnus' apartment. I was going to talk to him, but I realized that he wasn't there. I knew that he lived with two other people, but I heard interesting noises, so I didn't want to interrupt them.

So I left a simple note on his bed. That wasn't creepy, right? I mean, sure, sneaking into his apartment might have been a little much, but he leaves his door unlocked! What was I supposed to do?

I sat on the edge of the fountain, watching the water flow from the spout. I nervously tapped my foot, thinking if all the reasons why he might not come. Maybe he thought I was weird? Maybe he didn't get the note? Maybe he didn't want to be friends with me?

I mentally panicked, and my wings itched to get out of the sweater I pushed them in to. Thankfully, my wings were thin and small, so you couldn't tell they were there. 

I was about to get up and walk away when I heard someone come up behind me. I turned around, and my breath caught in my throat. It was him.

"Hey Magnus. You came," I quietly said, giving him a small wave. He smiled and waved to me back. My heart skipped a beat when I saw his smile. Why was it so cute?

"So.... what did you want to talk about?" Magnus asked, taking a seat beside me. I tucked a loose strand of green hair behind my ear.

"I don't know. Friend stuff? I just moved here, so I don't really know anyone," I awkwardly said, and inwardly groaned at how desperate I sounded. The truth was I just needed some humans to study, but I wouldn't let him know that.

"Well, there's not much to know about me. I never knew my dad, he died when I was a baby. My mother passed away a few weeks ago," he told me, and I watched as his eyes became sad and were outlined with tears. He quickly wiped them away, and gave me a small smile. "Now I live with my close friends, Blitz and Hearthstone. They're in love. As for me personally, I like to read. I'm just your average nerd." he said, and my heart ached at how much he had lost. But I could relate so much.

I watched Magnus as he looked down at his shoes, probably thinking about his mom. I admired his slightly wavy golden locks and how they came just above his shoulders. I stared at his intense gray eyes and how every time he blinked, they shimmered. He was quite breathtaking.

"What about you Alex? What's your life story?" he asked me, and my heart beat faster when I saw that he noticed I was staring at him. I cleared my throat and tried to think of a way to tell him about me without mentioning the fact I was a pixie. It was a bit difficult.

"Well, my mom left me and my dad when I was young, I hardly knew her. My dad isn't a very nice person either. He pretty much hates me now, and I hate him too. I like to sculpt and paint. Art is kind of my thing. I also really like the colors pink and green if you couldn't tell," Magnus chuckled at that, "oh, and I'm also genderfluid." I said, and he looked slightly confused. "It just means that some days I feel like a girl and some days I feel like a boy."

"Oh, neat. What are you now?" he asked and I admired how quick he accepted me. I smiled.

"A girl. Use she and her pronouns please," I explained to him. He gave me a little thumbs up and I laughed. He was just so nice. Wait- no. I couldn't get attached to him or any human. This was the one thing I promised myself. Because I'd have to go back to Lasikicle and leave him behind. That was the only way.

My smile fell and Magnus asked me what was wrong. I shrugged off his concern. We talked for a bit after that, but I didn't pay attention for a lot of it. Because deep down, I knew. I was falling for this boy. But I would have to leave him. 

A/N- I'll try and update more this week. Until next time.
