Magnus fumbled his key into the lock with shaky hands, he had to compose himself for Alec. He couldn't know the information he now with held. He pulled of his gloves flicking them onto the table by the door way and heard the sound of the television on in the living room, taking a deep breathe he walked in to find Alec's long legs sprawled across the couch the remote dangling in his hand. Project Runway blaring on the screen, but Alec's eyes were closed and his chest was rising and falling slowly. Magnus smiled at how innocent he looked when he was asleep, his eye lashes so long they grazed his cheekbones. How Magnus envied them, maybe then he wouldn't need all that mascara.
Gently he unfurled Alec's fingers from the remote muting the screaming divas, and curled up besides his boyfriend. His head on his chest, listening to the constant beat of his heart was extremely soothing. He closed his eyes and quietly hummed. He was at peace until Alec's wriggling figure moved beneath him. But he was awake he mumbled again, and rapidly the mumbles progressed into screams, Magnus shot upright. Alec was thrashing out at the air.
"NO DAD!" He shrieked "NO DADDY I DON'T LIKE IT! STOP!"
Magnus blinked back his tears and cradled his lovers body-which had gone into a ball like position, into his arms pressing him into his chest and abdomen. He stroked small circles on his back with one hand, and ran fingers through his hair with the other. "Baby your alright I'm here, no ones going to hurt you. Your safe darling, it's all a dream sweetie." Magnus cried silently, his tears blurring his vision.
Momentarily Alec stopped writhing and curled up again, but this time began to sob. He was awake. He pushed himself from Magnus's lap his eyes brimmed with tears, his lip trembling.
"Why is it you always figure out everything about me? Even when I don't plan on it, and I don't know anything about you."
With that Magnus felt a stab of guilt but brushed it aside. Magnus realized Alec had figured out he had released the classified information he kept in his heart aloud, and was ashamed by it. Magnus underboss how painful admitting the past could be. His past was best kept a secret, to many horrible things from centuries ago to stir up. He knew who his father was all too well and it frightened him.
He just wrapped his arms around Alec again. "One of these days I promise you'll know why I waited so long to tell you. Because I'm afraid....because...." 'Because you'll no longer love me.' He wanted to say but silenced the thought. "Listen don't think about the past, it's said and done and you can't change it I know it's scary, but know one will hurt you I swear Alec, forever."
Alec ground the heels of his hand into his heels wiping the streaking tears from his face. "I-I don't know what to say..." He uttered.
Magnus's hand went beneath his chin gently caressing Alec's Adam's apple before tilting his head upwards to allow their eyes to meet. "Well just kiss me then." He leaned in locking their lips and Alec made a satisfied sound in his throat. Much like their first kiss the belt loops of their jeans were used to eliminate all space from between their bodies. Magnus falling atop on Alec, but they didn't stop Alec craving for more and Magnus's hands working underneath his shirt. They stayed little that for what seemed like an infinity.
Alec's head was leaned against Magnus as what not to wear blared from the television speakers. Magnus played around with his dark locks putting them into tiny braids, with a silently finger snap summoning tiny flowers to put in them. Once Alec asked what he was doing and Magnus innocently replied that he was just "massaging his scalp", gullible Alec took the bait. Yet he eventually found them himself and demanded Magnus remove them, reluctantly Magnus did after much protesting that he looked positively adorable.
"You know people on this dress like toddlers and their full grown adults." He murmured.
"Well maybe they could take advice from the great fashion guru himself." He gestured towards Alec, his voice laced with sarcasm.
"Hey! I'm not that bad!" He defended.
Magnus chuckled. "That's what I love about you dear, and that your ticklish."
"Wait what-" Magnus had discovered a vulnerable spot at the small of Alec's back and dug his manicured fingers in Alec exhaling a gasp. It threw him into giggling hysterics, which by any means to Magnus completely charming. But when Alec's phone began to ring he begged for Magnus to stop to answer it. Magnus rolled from him, they were now sprawled across the carpet of his living room have fallen from the sofa.
Alec scrambled to answer it laughter still ringing in his voice with made him sound so much sexier to Magnus. "Hello?" He chimed. Instantly the smile was wiped from his face. "What did you just say? Isabelle calm down what is-" the colour that had come into Alec's cheeks drained in the blink of an eye. He was muttering something incoherent. Magnus jumped to his feet.
"Baby?" He could briefly hear Isabelle screaming from the other line. Something drastic was happening, but Magnus had no clue what. "Alec?"
"By the angel....no...it can't be..." That's when he and the cell phone collided with the floor. Magnus rushing towards him, forgetting all about Izzy screeching on the phone line, he rushed to Alec's side.
"Sweetheart what's the matter?!" He demanded. Panic cracking his voice his eyebrows going into his gelled hairline. Alec's face was a stark white against his black hair and clothes, his blue eyes dark swirling pits in his skull, he looked utterly terrified. Quietly, he answered Magnus with two heart stopping words that made the sound of the raging city drown out around them.
"He's back."
