Lost Souls (Book 2)

Part 44

Alec felt drained, his throat dry like a sandpaper, his head pounding like a rock being placed on his head. He tried to move his own body but he felt heavy. He could slowly twitch his fingers and the sensation came back all over him, he flutters his eyes open and he could hear it, the beeping.

Slowly he tried to open his eyes again and when he did, blurred image and nothing but bright white light flashes which made him groan. "Alexander." He recognized that voice, it was Magnus. He swallowed his throat dryly, feeling like a lump stuck in between, he tried to open his eyes again and he could see Magnus by his side.

"W-What happened?" He asked. He looked around the room and he recognized it well, he is in the hospital. "You scared the crap out of me. Don't do that again." Magnus said and Alec snorted, "Why? Because you have to carry me all by yourself?" He asked and tried to fix his posture, "You wished, you are twice my height, I called an ambulance." He said and Alec felt a little shocked when he found out Magnus called the ambulance, imagined the embarrassment on fainting at the graveyard.

He sat up, with the help of Magnus, he placed another pillow behind his back and lift the headboard a little forward. "Are you thirsty?" He asked but bringing the water eventually to Alec's lips. He took a sip mumbling thank you until they were both greeted by someone, someone Alec hadn't seen for years.

"How are you doing Alec?" Alec grinned, his eyes beamed with happiness.

"Sebastian? H-How?" Alec mumbled, which then greeted with a hug. "Its been a while man, we miss you." Sebastian said and Alec looked at his face, "Why are you here? You didn't work here." Alec asked still curious how he'd get to see him. "Yeah I know, I was transferred here actually, about a year ago. We moved to different city. We should catch up." He said and Alec looked at Magnus, he had a smile on his face and nodded.

"When we move back to New York I give you a call." He said and Sebastian nodded with a smile. "Okay, but anyway take it easy, you were stressed that you snapped. I told you don't overthink things." He remarked and Alec looked at Magnus again but this time, Magnus looked at him with a worried look.

"You can be discharged, I just fill your papers and you can go. Its nice to see you again Alec." He said and left the room after shook hand with Magnus.

"Are you okay?" Magnus asked, sitting down by his side. He exhaled a breath and felt like a weight being lifted from his chest. "How bad was it?" He asked which made Magnus confused than earlier. "What do you mean?" He asked, "The coffin, the place, did I trashed it bad?" He asked looking down at his finger, fiddling with the strand of thread that coming out from the blanket covering him.

"Oh about that. Actually Liam and Christopher was cremated, those are plain coffin, just plain stones to pretend that it was a mausoleum." Alec's jaw dropped and he felt angered building in his chest, "Asshole!" He said pushing both Magnus' chest, "Why did you do that?" He asked smacking Magnus' arm again.

He had the nerve to laugh at Alec which angered Alec more, he kept on smacking him and he groaned in pain after. "Okay enough, I'm sorry but you needed it, don't tell me you don't feel lighter." He said gripping his arm, Alec looked to his side but then met his eyes with Magnus, "Thank you." He mumbled slowly and Magnus decided he wanted to tease him more.

"What is it? I couldn't hear you." He said placing his hand over his ear pretending he didn't hear what Alec just said. "I said thank you. But I'm still angry after what you did. I can't believe you let me think that it was a real coffin." Alec said smacking him another which he groan more in pain.

"I'm sorry but we can make it up later." He said leaning closer to Alec and cupped his chin. He tilted Alec's chin up to meet his eyes, "Make up sex is better than anything else." He said and leaned to kiss Alec's lips. As he waited to feel Magnus' lips on his, he couldn't, instead Magnus decided to tease him more, hovering over his lips letting their hot breath fanning each other's faces.
