The Kiss Of Poison (BoyxBoy)- Completed

Tragic Story

Alec POV:

"I'm sure your boyfriend is fine" Jace said rolling his eyes at me "Now quit worrying, it's not uncommon for him to miss school".

"Yeah but he promised me he'd be here today" I told him anxiously "Something must be wrong, I hope he's okay though".

"You worry too much" Jace laughed "You two only just got together as well" I glared at him and continued to try work on the math's problem in front of me. It was silent between us for a few minutes with only the sound of rustling leaves and crowds of people chatting to disturb Jace and I.

"Would he be mad if I called him?" I asked, finally giving up trying to focus "I don't want to be too clingy".

"By the angel, Alec" Jace laughed "You're really clueless when it comes to relationships aren't you?" I shrugged, my checks heating up with a blush.

"This is my first relationship alright?" I snapped back "I don't know what is too clingy and what isn't but I don't want to put him off because I am being too clingy".

"Calling your boyfriend to check on him isn't clingy, Alec" Jace smirked, shaking his head at me "It just means you care. Go ahead, call him. It'd be best to do it before our lunch break finishes anyway". I thought for a second more before taking my phone out of my bag and dialing Magnus' number.

"Alexander!" Magnus answered cheerfully after a few rings "I was just about to call you actually; you have perfect timing, my darling".

"Uh, thanks I think..." I said slowly, my face heating up with a blush again making Jace smirk at me "Why aren't you at school? You said you'd be coming today". Magnus went quiet for a second before replying.

"Yeah about that..." He said slowly "Something came up?" I raised my eyebrows in question, realizing a second later that Magnus couldn't actually see me.

"What kind of something?" I asked warily "You're not avoiding me are you? Do you regret us getting together?".

"Oh god no!" Magnus exclaimed quickly "It's nothing to do with you Hun; I could never regret getting together with you".

"Then what happened?" I asked, letting out a sigh of relief "You know you can trust me right?" At the other end of the line, Magnus let out a stressed sigh.

"There's been trouble with my... adoptive father" Magnus told me and I felt my eyes widen "It's a really long story".

"What kind of trouble, Magnus?" I inquired curiously but cautiously "You weren't hurt were you?" There was silence again and I felt unease at the pit of my stomach.

"I wasn't the one that was hurt" Magnus mumbled eventually "But I can't go back there, Joseph will have my head on a stick if he saw me now".

"What did you do?" I asked "And where are you going to stay now then, have you talked to your social worker yet?" Behind me, Jace raised his eyebrows at me; a questioning look in his eyes.

"No I haven't talked to Arram and I don't plan to for awhile" Magnus replied "And as for my home situation, I was hoping I could stay with you and your siblings for a little while".

"Won't you get in trouble though?" I asked "What about my parents?" Magnus sounded like he was going to reply when an excited young sounding voice interrupted him.

"Maddie, I'm talking to Alec right now" Magnus said to the voice quietly "You can show me later okay? Right now I need to get this sorted out" The young voice who I now assumed to be Maddie said something else but then went quiet a second later.
