"Yes, Blondie?"
"Magnus, we need you at the institute now."
"Tell me again why you think that I am at your beck and call whenever one of you thinks you need something."
"Magnus. Alecs hurt."
"How soon til you get there?"
"We are about three minutes away."
"I will meet you there." Magnus says, starting on the portal while hanging up the phone.

The five people surrounding the hospital bed all look up as maryse walks in and up the bed.
"How is he doing?"
"He is going to be fine." Magnus answers, keeping his distance from the bed.
"Good."
They all stand in silence then maryse takes a deep breath and asks, "so, Magnus, why are you so far away from alec?"
"What?"
"You are dating, right?"
"Um." Magnus says, glancing at alec. "Yeah we are but alec didn't know how to tell you." He says, moving closer to the bed, sitting on the edge and taking alecs hand in his.
"I guessed it a while ago. It's been kind of hard to miss the happy alec that has replaced the grumpy alec."
Magnus smiles at maryse then pulls alec to his side and starts to run his fingers through his hair and says, "He's not the only one that is happy."
