Forbidden Love - Malec Dystopian AU

Blink if you want me

Anybody who has read the Bane Chronicles should recognise this title. As I said last time, this will be much longer.

Disclaimer: I don't own any pictures. I don't own the Shadowhunters franchise either. (Otherwise, I'd be on an island enjoying myself)

So yeah

Enjoy!

Pov: Magnus

I know Father wanted me to give the prisoner a sense of fear, but I felt like I was dressed rather inadequately for the job. Unfortunately, he hadn't given me time to change. So, I was just going to have to scare them wearing a rumpled black t-shirt with 'Blink if you want me' written on it in pink sequins. (I hadn't changed from last night. I hoped Alec was okay.) Oh well. There's a first time for everything.

The doors at the far end of the hall slowly opened. Forced out of my reverie, I raised my head and stared at the demons. I saw them flinch: my eyes always prompted that reaction from the servants. I couldn't see who the prisoner was yet or whether I even knew them, but I recognized the red uniform of an Elite. The demons herded them toward me quickly, so quickly that I barely had time to register just who it was before they were forced to their knees before me.

Alec.

My black haired, blue-eyed, angelic love. My biggest secret. Fate was cruel.

Asmodeus was cruel.

Pov: Alec

Magnus was there. His cat eyes shined with barely suppressed shock. He hadn't changed out of the clothes he had arrived in last night. I blinked. Hard. His mouth twitched into an almost imperceptible smile.

"I'll take him from here." I heard him say. Mentally, I was still trying to figure out what was going on. The demons bowed low and scuttled away like weird deformed crabs.

Magnus made his way towards me and yanked me up by my chains, blue sparks travelling down the chains from his fingers and back again. He pulled me towards one of the staircases heading down below the tower. Where were we going?

Pov: Magnus

I managed to get Alec to his cell without showing one hint of emotion towards him. Quite an achievement on my part. However, I could tell it was worrying him. I opened the cell door. I hoped he liked what I had done with the place. I closed the door behind us.

Alec laughed. He turned to me and smiled. His glorious light-up-the-world smile.

"Seriously? You have got to be kidding me, right?"

I shook my head.

"Nope. All 100% real." I suppose it did look a bit like his bedroom. I knew I didn't have to be back for another two hours. We collapsed onto the bed. I was happy just to hold him, chains, bruises, unfashionable clothing and all. He wasn't going to die today. Not if I could help it.

Pov: Alec

This was ridiculous, I was about to die! And Magnus, one of the most powerful people in the world, was lying there holding me. I slowly relaxed and closed my eyes. Everything was going to be fine.

Magnus wouldn't let me die.

It's not the longest chapter in the world. So yeah, sorry if it was cringy.
