Friends To Lovers #Malec#

Chapter-28

Magnus' POV

     It's been almost two hours since our friends left. Alec and I went up to my room, Alec asked me to hold him, that's all we did for two hours.

    Alec hid his head in my neck and I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, our legs intertwined. We were as close as possible. I could feel his breath on my neck, I could hear his heartbeat, the only thing I could smell was the sweet scent of my Alexander.

    I caress his back and Alec hugs me tightly as if I'll disappear if he lets go. From time to time he places small kisses on my neck and I kiss the top of his head. I brush his hair with my fingers, pulling the hair that falls on his forehead.

    Alec lays almost all over me, but there is nothing sexual between us. We just try to find peace with each other's presence and warmth.

    I am scared. I'm scared that I won't be able to be there for Alec during his tough times. I'm scared that I won't be enough to make him happy. Now he's beside me, hugging me, but the image of him lying on the kitchen floor trembling still haunts me.

    How could I have been so blind? It was clear that Alec had been through some tough times, how did I get so blind? I need to find out what happened to him. I need to know. I need to protect him and make him happy.

    "Alexander, Babe?" Alec didn't lift his head from my neck. "Hmm?" I kept stroking his back slowly, "Darling, are you feeling better now?" I felt Alec nod. "Well, do you want to tell me what happened?" No answer.

    “Alexander? Darling, I was so scared something was going to happen to you. Can you tell me what happened in the kitchen with Andrew please?” Again no response "Honey, did Andrew say something or do something to upset you? Do you want me to talk to him?" Alec shook his head.

    "Talk to me darling. You're scaring me." Alec straightens up on my lap and sits up, his back against the headboard, and I sit up next to him. Alec grabbed my hand that was in my lap and intertwined our fingers. He took a deep breath.

    "I'm so sorry Magnus, I didn't mean to scare you." Alec's voice was almost a whisper. "Andrew did nothing wrong, we were just talking and then something else occurred to me and I felt like I couldn't breathe." I stroked Alec's hair with my free hand. "Would you like to tell me what occurred to your mind?"

    Alec nodded. "In this world, there is nothing more than I want to tell you this thing... but the words don't come out of my mouth. I'm so sorry Magnus, I don't think I can tell you this right now, even if I want to."

    Alec's hazel eyes filled with tears, his eyes gleaming like glass. He closed his eyes and started to tear up his cheeks "Shhh... Babe please don't cry, I get you. I really get you... You don't have to tell me now. You can tell me whenever you feel comfortable, OK?"

    I wiped Alec's tears with my thumb. Alec started to sob little. "W-Wh-What i-if I-I n-never ha-have t-the c-courage t-to t-tell y-you w-what ha-happened?" I put my finger on Alec's chin and lifted his head, looking into his eyes

    "Alexander, babe you mean so much to me. All I want is for you to be happy and safe. It's okay if you don't have the courage to tell me what happened right now. I'll still be by your side and try to keep you safe. Alexander I care about you so much, it kills me to see these beautiful eyes of yours that take me to another land with tears."

    Alec put his forhead to mine. "I'm so lucky to have you in my life, Magnus." I just smiled, "You know, whatever you tell me, I will never judge you, remember that okay?" Alec nodded and placed a sweet kiss on my lips, the kiss was just full of emotion and peace. I felt that all my problems had evaporated. All I need is my sweet  Alexander.

    "Let's order pizza for dinner, okay? and sit on the swing in the backyard?" Alec just nodded. "Okay, come on, get a blanket downstairs. I'll order the pizzas and come." Alec grabbed the big fluffy blanket from the bed and went downstairs so I picked up my phone and ordered pizza.

    Me and Alec were sitting on the swing in the backyard, I put my head on Alec's shoulder and we started rocking slowly on the swing. After a while it was Alec who broke the silence, "I realized you were upset today when Andrew asked about your family." I took a deep breath

    "I just miss my mother so much. You know, no matter how much time passes, the pain does not lessen." Alec kissed the side of my head

    "Would you like to visit your mother's graveyard? We can go together someday, if you want too?" My heart melted at Alec's words, "I would love that." Alec put his arms around me, "Then we'll go together honey."

    A few minutes later the doorbell rang and the pizzas arrived. Alec and I ate our pizzas in peaceful silence. All evening we just spent quiet time in each other's arms. Alec was emotionally drained and tired all day, so we decided to finish the night early and go to sleep.

   We went to the bedroom and got ready to sleep, both of us dressed in comfortable clothes and then got into bed. I hugged Alec from behind, Alec was tiny in my arms. We were both very peaceful.

    "Good night Alexander"

    "Good night Magnus"

    A few minutes later I heard Alec's little snores and when I was sure he was asleep, I fell asleep with a small smile on my lips.
