Alec wasn't able to remember the last time he did talk with Magnus, to be fair, he hasn't left his room since days, nor opened the curtains of the window.
Isabelle didn't know what happened, in the first few days Alec just kept training, shooting bows and cleaning weapons until late at night, he was hurting, obviously.
'Alec, open the door, you haven't eaten in days!' Izzy shouted as she knocked against Alec's door, but, no response.
Enough was enough, she decided to visit Magnus and ask him what has happened, after all, he's Alec's boyfriend.
He opened the door sleepily, he was wearing a robe and black boxers, his hair was messy and there wasn't even a sign of makeup or glitter on his face.
'By the angel!' Isabelle said.
'Not even close.' Magnus said dryly with a forced smile.
'What happened to you and Alec?' Izzy asked, she originally wanted to yell at and insult Magnus, but she couldn't. She has never seen him like this, she knew he didn't feel better than Alec.
At least that's what she thought until she heard a familiar voice, of course, it was Camille Belcourt, she walked behind Magnus and smirked.
'Magnus, don't you want to come back?' She purred and glanced at Izzy, which was even paler than usual.
'MAGNUS BANE' izzy yelled now, glaring at Magnus which seemed obviously confused.
Izzy backed off and before she went down the stairs, she said, 'From all people in this world, from all people that could've hurt Alec, I would've never thought that it'd be you, you were supposed to love and protect him!' she wasn't able to hold her tears back as she ran down the stairs.
Alec heard a "thud" outside of his door and he decided to move out of his bed and open it, hoping that no one fell. It did hurt to get on his feet, he didn't want to walk, he didn't even want to be awake.
He opened the door and Izzy fell on her knees, hugging his legs, she cried, so much. Alec has seen his little sister crying before, but not like this. He decided to shove his worried aside and kneel down as well, he hugged izzy.
'What happened?' He said quietly, not having the strenght to speak louder than a whisper.
'Magnus.. he.. I'm so sorry..' She sobbed, Alec wasn't able to understand anything she said after that, but he knew how much he missed hearing Magnus' name.
They did sit like this for a while, just holding each other because of the same reason. They said nothing, they just cried together.
More days passed, Alec didn't feel better, but he forced himself to at least go out in public, he felt nothing but sadness, loneliness and darkness.
He stumbled against a few people, and other than the usual Alec which would say sorry and blush, he just continued walking, ignoring the other people swearing after him.
He felt cold, not that kind of winter cold but that kind of cold that made him think he died already.
Magnus hasn't called or messaged him, not even once. He wanted to see him again, feel him again.
He saw his face everywhere he looked, he heard his voice, he felt his touch. But it wasn't as strong as the real thing, and he longed for it, so badly.
________________________________________________________________________
Magnus was sitting in his loft, mad at himself for not being able to stop Izzy or Alec, not being able to explain his situation, on the other hand, they didn't give him the chance to explain anything.
'Maybe it's better like this..' he mumbled as he placed his hand on his neck. He jolted, Magnus had forgotten how much he missed physical touch, actually, he missed Alec's touch.
He closed his eyes and ran his fingertips down his neck, imagining it would be Alec.
