Prologue

It was 2 in the morning. Alec was sleeping soundly in Magnus' bed after a long and tiring hunt.

But Magnus couldn't sleep. He was hugging the Nephilim, his head lying on the boy's chest, cat-eyes wide open in the darkness, as he was listening to his beloved's steady heartbeat and watching him sleep. He sighed softly taking in the peaceful sight. It was an unusually calm night, and everything was quiet and tranquil.

'If this heartbeat stops…' He thought, 'The world will be crushed to pieces…' He ached to get up and search his books, to even summon a demon, so he could look for a way to always stay with the Nephilim he adored so much, but he couldn't bear to leave Alec's warmth. 'Who knows how much time we have… I can't waste it buried in dusty tomes…' He decided that he'd search when Alec would inevitably have to leave in order to train, and closed his eyes, determined to get some sleep, hoping for the peace and oblivion it brought.

But to no avail. Finally an hour later, he gave up and sighing let go of his lover, about to get up and go get something to drink. Once he sat up though, he felt gentle but firm fingers on his wrist. He turned surprised, and saw Alec looking at him, through half-lidded blue eyes still hazy with sleep.

"Don't go…" He muttered squeezing his arm weakly.

Magnus smiled at him, his heart fluttering. 'I love you so much…' He thought, but only said, leaning to kiss his forehead. "I'm not going anywhere my love…"

Alec smiled too and tugged his hand gently, and the Warlock laid down on his chest again as the boy wrapped his arms around him humming contently. "I love you…" The Shadowhunter whispered sleepily holding him close, running his fingers through his hair soothingly for a little bit, before succumbing to sleep again.

"I love you too sayang…" Magnus whispered, and snuggled closer, his lover's heartbeat finally lulling him to a peaceful sleep.

Sayang means darling/beloved in Indonesian.

Hope you liked it!

I'm sorry for leaving you like that! Chapter 2 will be uploaded in a few hours! (This is by NO means over!)
