Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 33- Fragments

Magnus woke up that morning to the sweet sensation of Alec kissing over his face. He blinked as he yawned, looking up into the golden eyes of his boyfriend as he smiled. His heart was swooning as Alec smiled back at him, with his messy hair over his forehead, and his eyes a little sleepy. Magnus was distracted with thinking how adorable Alec looked.

"Morning, baby," Alec said sweetly, as he kissed the tip of Magnus' nose.

"Morning, How are you feeling?" Magnus asked as he ran his fingers through Alec's hair.

"I'm feeling fine now, Legs not hurting either, really. A little bit of a twinge but I'm okay." Alec said as he cuddled into Magnus' side.

"Good. I'm glad." Magnus smiled, kissing the top of Alec's head as he held him. "Alexander... do you think I need to speak to someone? About what happened?"

Alec looked up at him and smiled sadly, nodding at Magnus' words before laying his own head on Magnus' chest. Magnus took in a deep breath at the thought.

"I think it's for the best. We both know you are suffering from trauma after the incident." Alec sighed but then yawned. Magnus was worried by how tired Alec still seemed to be but had guessed that it was just because of the morphine they had been injecting Alec with throughout the night.

"Okay, I'll sort it then," Magnus said, smiling to Alec with a calmness that didn't reflect his mood. He was feeling terrified about speaking with a shrink ,about the kidnapping.

Alec was about to reply when a nurse came in and smiled. Magnus instantly moving d to get off the bed. When she brought out the bandages and the saline wipes to clean the wound, Magnus went and sat in the chair that was beside the bed.

"Hello, Mr Lightwood. I'm Chloe. I'm going to be changing your bandages now. You don't mind having visitors in here while I do it, do you?" She asked as she put on her gloves.

"Not at all. Magnus is my boyfriend." Alec said looking at Magnus and smiling as he took his hand. "I don't mean to be rude, but can we do this quickly, please? I'm really tired."

"Of course, did you not get a good night's sleep last night?" Chloe asked, concerned.

"He did, actually. He slept for about ten hours straight. I kept waking up, while the nurses came in to give him more morphine and check his stats, but he was always asleep." Magnus shrugged.

"You shouldn't be that tired, Mr Lightwood. How do you feel in yourself?" The nurse asked as she reached out for Alec's leg and took the old dressing off, frowning slightly as she touched his leg again.

"I'm okay. I'm just tired and feeling a little hot." Alec said before yawning as he laid back a little more.

"I need to check your temperature; just to make sure nothing sinister is going on," Chloe said as she went over to a cupboard and took out the thermometer.

She added a new cap over the ear piece before coming back over to Alec. She placed it into his ear and pressed the button, the machine beeping into life before Alec's temperature appeared on the screen. It was reading 38.3 degrees celsius and the nurse hit the button on the wall to call in a doctor.

"What's going on?" Magnus asked worriedly.

"His temperature is high and his leg is hot. There is a chance that he may have developed an infection." Magnus blinked at her as he gripped Alec's hand, trying not to show too much concern and frighten him.

"What could be causing that?"

"It's hard to say. It's a possibility that there could be some more fragments of the metal inside still. We need to get him x-rayed as soon as possible and his temperature down. Start him on antibiotics." The nurse informed them just as a doctor came into the room. Chloe immediately passed over the information.
