Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 46- Bubbly

Magnus smiled slightly as the two men headed into the bathroom. He felt more relaxed with Alec, protected and safe, but he also knew that whoever was harassing them weren't going to stay quiet for long and it was the silence that worried him the most. Whoever that person was, they were just waiting for the right time before they struck again. He felt Alec's eyes on him and looked at him with a bigger smile as he tried to hide his worry and concern.

"You okay?" Alec asked him as he started the water into the bath and added the plug.

"Yeah. Just thinking about stuff," Magnus replied.

"About?" Alec coaxed. He hoped Magnus would talk about what was bothering him.

"Nothing important. I'm just... I don't know... this person has gone quiet and it's worrying me a little," Magnus admitted sadly but smiled as Alec came over and hugged him close.

"I know you're worried but I promise I'm going to protect you. I know I failed the last time but I will be more aware from now on." Alec sighed. He hated that he let the person get to him.

"Hey, you didn't fail. Not even in the slightest. That person attacked you without you knowing that they were there. Please... Please don't blame yourself for any of this because you'll make me cry." Magnus whimpered as his eyes watered up.

"I'm sorry, baby." Alec swallowed and kissed his forehead. "I don't want to make you cry. I hate seeing you cry."

"Then let's stop talking and get in this bath." Magnus smiled, leaning up and kissing him before going over to the bath and pouring in some complimentary bubble bath. The room filled with the scent of Magnolia and the bath filled with a dome of bubbles that got higher as the water flowed in. Alec stepped behind Magnus and leaned down, kissing his shoulder softly.

"I love you, Magnus," he said quietly and smiled as Magnus turned around.

"That's good because I love you too, Alexander." Magnus smiled back and pecked his lips before turning off the bath taps.

Alec climbed in first then held Magnus' hand as he stepped in. Alec sat down and let Magnus sit in between his legs before he wrapped his arms around Magnus' waist and held him close. Magnus sighed in contentment as he leaned into Alec's body and relaxed.

"We definitely need a bath in the new place." Magnus chuckled as he turned his head slightly and looked up at Alec.

"Agreed. This is just... perfect." Alec smiled and kissed Magnus' temple before they both leaned back and closed their eyes, completely calm and content at the moment as the hot water and bubbles wrapped around them.

They stayed like that for a while as they just enjoyed the peaceful moment between them. Their fingers on their right hands linked together while Alec played with Magnus's ring on his left hand. He gently swirled it around Magnus' finger before he brought it up to his lips and kissed it.

"I want to get you one," Magnus whispered out. His eyes closed as he rested his head on Alec's shoulder.

"You don't have to," Alec replied in the same tone as he put little kisses over Magnus' cheek and head.

"I know I don't have to but I want to." Magnus smiled and turned his head to face Alec. "I want people to know you are just as much mine as I am yours."

"Mags, I am completely yours. When we are on stage, I am only looking at you. When I sing, I sing to you. I eat to stay healthy for you and I breathe to stay alive for you," Alec said quietly and kissed his nose. "Everything I do, it's all for you."

"Alexander..." Magnus sniffed as his eyes watered. "That's... You're amazing."

"Amazing... for you." He winked which made Magnus laugh and move to kiss him more on the lips.

"I'm so lucky I met you and to think... I was so close to not joining the band or moving in with you." Magnus chuckled. "Who knows where I would be?"

"You say about how lucky you are to have me but I wasn't happy before you. As much as everyone thinks I was living my best life with the partying, the string of men I had, and everything else a 'playboy' could want. I wasn't happy," Alec admitted. "I'm not just saying this but... but the moment I saw you walk into that warehouse it was like... it was like something clicked inside me. You lit me up and I wanted you then."

"Oh... I... I don't know what to say." Magnus said, left completely speechless.

"You don't have to say anything. As long as you know it's true." Alec smiled.

"We saved each other," Magnus stated and hugged him tightly, his arms around Alec's neck as Alec wrapped his arms around his waist.

"Definitely. We saved each other then and we will save each other for the rest of our lives." Alec smiled and Magnus chuckled slightly and nodded happily before kissing his lips.

Magnus was about to say something when there was a pounding on the door. He Instantly jumped in fear as the pounding got louder. Alec jumped out of the bath and wrapped himself in a robe before heading out, shutting the bathroom door as Magnus sat on his knees in the bath. His fingers gripped to the edge of the bath in terror. He listened as the pounding on the door stopped and the door opened. His hearing peaked as he tried to listen out for anything he should be worried about but he couldn't hear anything.

He was about to get out of the bath and rush out when the bathroom door opened and his eyes flew open, scared as to who it could be, but instantly let out a shaky breath and relaxed when he saw it was Alec.

"Who was it?" Magnus asked.

"Mark's here. He has some information and wants to talk to you." Alec said and smiled slightly, the look on his face making Magnus worry.

Magnus stepped out of the bath and grabbed his own robe before he wrapped him around himself and let the plug out. Taking a deep breath, he headed out of the bathroom to the main room where Mark was sat on a chair with his laptop out on the table. Magnus smiled as Mark looked up and he sat on the edge of the bed with Alec.

"You wanted to talk to me? Do you have any news?" Magnus asked him rapidly because he just wanted to know what was going on.

"I've found out some information and I need you to tell me if you know these people. I have a hunch as to what is going on but I don't want to say anything until I know for sure." Mark explained as he clicked away on his laptop and pulled up the images of a man and a woman. "Do you know either of them?"

"No... No, I don't think so." Magnus frowned as he tried to remember if he had seen them before but couldn't. "Why? Who are they?"

"I'm still trying to find out their names but I'm sure they are involved. I'm just not sure how. I thought if you knew them then it would make this process easier but I'm going to have to find out their names," Mark said. "I have seen CCTV footage of her with your father and him with your ex so I need to find out who they are and then work out what they have to do with you father and Camille."

Magnus sighed as he listened. He had hoped for better news but at least the PI seemed like he was making more progress than the police. His mind was still on the couple as he tried to remember any time he would have seen them but he really didn't and he was annoyed that he couldn't help more.

"I'm sorry that I can't help. I wish I knew who they were." Magnus sighed.

"It's okay. I'll find out who they are. It just seems to me that these two knew each other but they also seemed to know your father and Camille separately. He was seen with Camille on multiple occasions and the same with Asmodeus and this woman but they are never seen with the other party or all together...Which is odd." Mark frowned in annoyance as if he was trying to figure it out. "Anyway, I best get on. Thank you"

"No, thank you for coming," Magnus said and shook Mark's hand before they said their farewells and he left. Magnus went over to the bed and slumped down with Alec beside him as the images swirled in his mind.
