The Truth Behind Closed Doors

Looking down Magnus knew in his heart of hearts that Luke would die. Now don't get him wrong he would do everything in his power to help save him, Clary had asked him to and he had pledged to Jocelyn that he would help her when she needed him, now he had no choice. He was so deep in thought he failed to realize that his power was draining and fast. He began to fall to the ground but was caught by Alec.
"Does this happen a lot?" Alec asked supporting Magnus.
"N-n-no," Magnus barely got out as he grew weaker and weaker.
"Take what you must," Alec said holding out his hand. Magnus stared at his hand then took it. As he took his hand Clary and Jace stormed into the room and were flabbergasted by the scene taking place in front of them.
"What the hell is this?" they yelled in unison.
"Would you mind getting that potion finished," he yelled and jerked his head at Luke, ¨and in him," Magnus yelled ignoring their previous statement. As he said this Clary looked at Luke and rushed over to the table where everything sat untouched and unfinished. Putting all the ingredients in the large cauldron, she mixed it together and collected it into a tube. The only way to give it to luke was injecting it. Clary put the remnants of the mixture in a vile and gave it to Magnus for safe keeping. Magnus accepted the vile from Clary and placed it in his sequined jacket. No longer having to use his power he slumped back into Alec and watched as Jace and Clary fought to get Luke to accept the potion, they had injected it through his chest. As Magnus got up with the tender helping hand of Alec,his hand on Magnus's back. Magnus sat in the chair, where Alec had put him, watched the now struggling trio.
"Damn it let me do it," Magnus said as he rose and walked over. Taking the last ounce of power he could allow himself to use this week to sedate Luke. When Luke had finally calmed down the potion began to work.
"There this is what happens when you let shadowhunters do a," he began to say in a faint voice but failed to finish when he collapsed into Alec. Alec set him down on the floor gently, careful not to hurt him. He knew Magnus was becoming weak, but he underestimated how weak he had become. Jace and Clary had watched the scene unravel. However, Clary's primary focus was Luke. Jace watched as Alec was speaking softly to Magnus. Words of encouragement. Magnus was conscious, but immobile. He only needed his energy to rejuvenate and he would be fine. Alec attempted to give him a considerable amount of more strength to increase Magnus's energy level, but it failed. He leaned back on his heels and held Magnus's hand.
"Alec?"
"Yes, Jace?"
"Allow me to assist him." Jace walked over to where Alec was kneeling by magnus and offered his Parabatai a hand. Together, they attempted to give Magnus strength for his energy to replenish. Their attempt was a success. Magnus, who had been lying on the floor with his eyes closed, now opened his eyes and sat up. Not wanting to see him struggle or drain himself again Jace and Alec helped him to stand up.
"Thank you both. Now, I have a drink to attend to," Magnus said sincerely, patting them both on the cheek. He walked briskly over to the bar he had in his living room. The silence in the room started to make Alec anxious. Magnus lifted the glass to his lips when Alec asked the question everyone was dying, mainly Magnus, to hear.
"Will you be attending the club directly hidden in the alley behind Pandemonium?" Alec asked anxiously.
¨Wouldn't you like to know," Magnus said in a teasing voice. Though he wanted so badly to say a quick 'yes'. He knew that he would look too willing and anxious to have the boy escort him to the club.
"Magnus," Clary Fray just had to interrupt his thoughts about the god like creature standing in front of him with a slight blush rising to his perfectly defined cheeks.
"Yes Ms. Fray?" He said slightly annoyed with the fact that she had interjected their moment with her nonsense about luke.
"What about luke?"
"He will be fine, as he is a wolf and will heal faster than you would.¨
"Does that mean we can go to Pandemonium now?" Alec interjected with determination and hope in his eyes, that they would go and soon. He deeply hoped for more time with Magnus. Alone. Looking over at the young man standing in the doorway of his living room, he noticed that for the first time his eyes were a beautiful light brown. Walking over to him was nothing, but when he got to standing right in front of him he had forgotten how to speak. Magnus grabbed Alec's hand and pulled him in the direction of the door leading to his study.
¨Let us have a moment, yeah?¨ Magnus did not bother waiting for a response before he slammed the door, in the faces of the pair watching their retreating forms, and turned to Alec. Magnus saw that Alec had wandered over to his collection of spells (books and tools, little souvenirs). Quietly he advanced on the younger man. He grabbed Alec by the shoulders, swinging him around and slamming their lips together engaging themselves into a passionate kiss. They both felt a burst of passion neither of them have ever felt before. When they broke apart, gasping for air, they briefly stared into each other's eyes, both of which were glazed over with desire. They both felt the same thing and thought the same thing. They needed to find a more...private place. They were both thinking about where they could go when a thought popped up in their minds. Together in unison they exclaimed,
"Pandemonium!" Looking at the other with a smile Magnus grabbed Alec's hand and pulled him to the back exit, as to not alert the trio in the living room.
¨Come on we are going to get to the back room and portal out of here,¨ Magnus said in an excited, almost child like, voice. Alec looked at him then back at the door wondering why they aren't getting the others. Finally he realized what they were doing and blushed a deep red that went all the way down to his chest. As they stumbled over the threshold Alec became nervous about what Magnus had expected out of him. Magnus turned around to plant a small teasing kiss on his lips when he saw the look on Alec's face.
¨Alexander, what is it? What's troubling you?¨
¨Nothing,¨ Alec had lied to many people before but now standing before a man that he liked, possibly even loved, it felt wrong. He felt dirty like he just killed someone that had done nothing wrong. Magnus looked at him skeptically and nodded opening the portal. Turning back he held out his hand for the younger man to take. Alec hesitated for a moment but took his hand and was lead to a back room he had never seen before.
¨Where are we?¨ Alec asked looking around
¨My private room in Pandemonium,¨ Magnus stated pulling Alec closer to him. Alec looked at Magnus and kissed him with all his might. The way their lips meshed sent a spark up Alec's spine and gave the boy a new found encouragement. Alec wrapped his hands around Magnus's neck as he lifted him up so he could wrap his legs around him. The feelings that were overcoming the couple was pure love with a hint of lust. They had broken apart to breathe, leaning their foreheads against one another. Alec's thoughts came back to him and jumped off of his position on Magnus, landing on his butt. He made a loud thud as his butt met the floor. Magnus looked down at him in surprise, but kept quiet, though a smile played on his lips. Alec regretted breaking their connection, but he knew nobody would approve of what they had done or what they were about to do. Alec contemplated his options while looking down at the floor that he was still sitting on. He made no move to get up until he had made his decision. Magnus offered his hand to Alec and helped him stand up. Once Alec was standing and looking into Magnus's cat-like eyes, he grabbed Magnus by his shoulders with all the intent in the world of pulling him in for another heated and passionate kiss. Before he could touch his lips to Magnus's, Magnus stopped him.
"Alexander, are you positive you want to do this?" Magnus asked.
"Magnus, I've made my decision."
"And what would that be, Alexander?"
"I want to be with you; I don't care about what others say. I want you. I want to be true to myself and I feel like I can do that with you," Alec said with a heady voice. On cue, as if Alec's words were the words he had been waiting to hear his whole life, he placed his hands on either side of Alec's face and pulled him in for a long, lust filled lip lock. As soon as their lips met, neither one of them could contain the desire and the love they felt for one another. They had been like that for what felt like seconds, but it turned out to be fifteen minutes when they heard the door open.
"So this is where y'all came? You left us in your house and took Alec to make out. What if something happened to Luke?" Clary asked progressively getting more and more hysterical. Magnus had, had enough of her self righteous and 'what I want happens first' attitude and he did what any other person would do. He lost it.
"You have no say in where I go, who I take with me, or what I do with the person I take with me. I am not going to be your mule. I am only helping you because I vowed to your mom that if anything were to happen to you, I would be the one to help you. So you need to knock yourself down a few pegs and get back with us in the real world. Now, if you excuse me, I have business to attend to," Magnus stated swiftly. Magnus had pushed them aside, pulling Alec along with him, and made his way toward the bar.
"I'm sorry about them," Alec said looking down with a disappointed look in his eyes.
"Don't YOU dare apologize Alexander. You were with me you can't control what those you care about do." Magnus said placing a hand on his cheek. Missing the contact that they had back in the office, Alec leaned deeper into Magnus's hand. They way the younger boy looked made Magnus's heart swell with love.
"Magnus?" Alec said in a voice barely above a whisper.
"Yes, Alexander?"
"Will you kiss me again?"
"If you want me to," Magnus pulled him close and gently placed a chaste kiss on his lips. As he was about to pull away, Alec deepened the kiss. Alec wrapped his arms around Magnus, running his tongue along Magnus's lips asking for entrance. Magnus parted his lips and allowed Alec to explore his mouth. The deeper the kiss got the more Magnus's hands began to wander, and they stopped on the curvature of Alec's hips. Magnus allowed his hands to go lower, when Alec nodded, his head encouraging him to go lower, his hands landed on Alec's butt. Alec had shifted and allowed Magnus to lift him, back to their previous position, and took him back to the now empty office. Alec broke away from the kiss to breathe, Magnus knowing where this was heading or hoping this was leading to that he started to assault Alec's neck with kisses.
"Mmmagnus we..." Alec tried to say in a breathy voice as Magnus vaporized the shirts they had on. With every fiber of his being Alec had to concentrate and get magnus to listen to him.
"Magnus. We. Have. To. Stop." he had finally gotten his thoughts together and got the very attractive man to listen.
"What is it Alexander?"
"Can you put me down first?"
"Of course," Magnus said in a slightly disappointed voice as he set his beauty down. Looking at the boy as he began to pace back and forth in the office. Alec was trying to come up with how he wanted to say what was on his mind.
"Magnus I, I don't want you to get mad at me for what I'm about to say."
"What is it Alexander," he asked while leaning back in the chair he had sat in as Alec was pacing. He was worried for the worst. He didn't want Alec to feel regret for what they were about to do mere moments ago. He wanted Alec, and he hoped Alec felt the same. Alec deserved to be happy, no matter what anybody else thought.
"I have never felt this way about anyone and I don't want to ruin what is going on between us. So I was hoping that we could take things slow, at least for now. I just need time. Please understand that," Alec said in a pleading voice. Looking up at the boy Magnus looked at the curves and divites of his body and spoke,
"Alexander," he said rising from the chair, "I am not going to make you do anything you would not voluntarily do on your own accord. I want you to want me with the same amount of lust and desire that I have for you now. Most importantly I want you to have the same amount of affection and LOVE I have for you at this very moment," he stated pulling the boy close. Magnus had listened to the boy, Alec, never fully being heard at the institution, began to tear up. All Alec had ever wanted was someone to listen to him and let him know they accepted, or at least understood where he was coming from.
"Are you okay now my Alexander?" Magnus asked as he wiped the tears that had jumped ship and rolled down the reddening cheeks of his Alexander. His Alexander? Magnus liked the sound of that and by the smile on Alec's face, so did he.
"As long as I'm with you I will be," Alec said placing his hand over the one Magnus had kept on his cheek.
