Blameless (A Malec Fanfic)[ON HOLD]

Chapter 2

Magnus stared at Alec in silence.
"What?" Alec said as he self consciously ran his hand through his dark hair.
"Nothing." Magnus reached for the shadowhunter's hand and pulled him up from the couch they'd been lounging on. "Let's go."
Alec allowed himself to be pulled up, his hand remaining in the warlocks. "Where are we going?"
"You'll see soon," Magnus said as he pulled the reluctant shadowhunter down the street. They ended up at Magnus's flat which was now decorated like a carnival with striped curtains and couches, a popcorn maker, a pinball machine, and glitter covering the floor.
"Nice decorations," said Alec as he sat on the red and white striped couch. "As long as there are no clowns I'm okay," Alec confessed.
"You are afraid of clowns?" Magnus said incredulously, "You battle demons on a daily basis and you're afraid of clowns?"
"Well everyone's afraid of something," Alec said with a smirk on his face. "What are you afraid of?" he asked Magnus.
Magnus smiled absently. He reached out for Alec. He brought him close and their lips met. Alec stiffened, surprised at first, then fell into the kiss. Magnus pulled away and whispered in his ear, "I'm afraid of a lot of things, but the one thing that terrifies me is-"
Alec put a finger to Magnus' lips, "Please don't say something cheesy like losing me or some crap."
Magnus reached for Alec's hand and brought it down to his chest. "I was gonna say snails but-"Alec cracked a smile and Magnus' heart jumped.
"I'm afraid of you being sad. And-and I'm afraid of you not being afraid of dying," Magnus kept his eyes down.
Alec's eyes widened at what he was saying. "Magnus, I can't be afraid to die. It's my-"
"Job. I know." Magnus finished.
Alec wrapped his arms around his boyfriend and hugged him. For some reason this hug felt more intimate than anything they've ever done. "It's not that I want to die, Magnus, but it's a possibility that I need to be ready for."
Magnus shook his head sullenly. "I know darling, its just that it's not a possibility that I will never be prepared for."
Alec's eyes were filling with hot tears as he heard his boyfriends words. He took Magnus's hand in his. Their fingers laced together and nothing had ever felt more like home.
Magnus brought Alec closer to him; his heart ached as he saw tears roll down his cheeks. Magnus pulled Alec into him.
Loosing their balance, they landed on the striped couch. Alec steadied himself with the help of years of training, and pressed his lips to Magnus'. Magnus' hands reached up and now tangled themselves in the black tangle of Alec's hair. Alec smiled around the kiss, his fingers still laced with Magnus'.
Magnus gasped around the kiss to say, "Wanna take this somewhere else?"
"Like where?" Asked Alec.
"My bedroom," smirked Magnus as he pulled the shadowhunter off the couch and into his room, which was decorated like a big top tent. "AND NOW FOR THE GRAND FINALE!" Shouted Magnus as he shut the door.Once they were done they lay in each others arms, legs entangled, and hands laced together. "Alexander, darling?"
"Yes, Magnus?"
"What time do you have to be back at the institute?" Magnus asked.
Alec opened his mouth to speak but instead of words, a scream ripped its way through his chest. He lunged up from the bed and fell to the floor on his hands and knees.
"Alec?!" Magnus shot up, worried for his shadowhunter.
Alec gagged and vomited on the floor out of pain. He gripped his shoulder in the midst of his screams.
Magnus looked where he was gripping. "Alec.." Magnus's voice shook, "Alec your parabatai rune.."
Alec's eyes flew open wide as he ran into the bathroom. The rune on his shoulder began to bleed. His eyes were red from the burning tears escaping them. He gripped his stomach, feeling like he was going to vomit another time. His torso felt as though someone stabbed him multiple times and twisted a barbed knife through it. He reached for his clothes. Stumbling and cloudy minded, he went to leave Magnus's flat.
"Alec, wait, you won't make it! Please sit down." He reached for Alec but the blue-eyed boy pulled himself away, pushing Magnus against the table as he did.
"Jace..." he gasped out, gripping his parabatai rune. Magnus reached out for him as he lost his balance and slid onto the kitchen counter, cutting his forearm on something sharp.
"Wait Alec, it's okay. I'll make a portal to the institute, please, just don't move."
Alec held onto Magnus, unable to stand on his own. He buried his face in Magnus's chest, tears streaming down his cheeks uncontrollably.
Magnus hurriedly made the portal and prayed that they weren't to late.
