Dark Secrets

Chapter 46

Alec was definitely caught off guard when suddenly Magnus just fell into his arms and gripped him as if his life depended on it. "What happened?" Alec asked not expecting a simple question like that to cause Magnus to break down in sobs. "Magnus, who did this to you? What the hell happened?" Magnus wasn't capable of speaking so he just wrapped his arms tightly around Alecs back his fingers digging into Alecs shirt and for the first time Alec felt...helpless. For the first time EVER he really felt helpless. He didn't know what to do because usually he'd just walk away but he couldn't walk away if it was Magnus. "Don't worry...I’ve got you." Alec didn't demand an answer like he would normally and just tried to be as gentle as possible while holding Magnus in his arms for however long he needed. Alec was getting angrier by the seconds that passed as he thought about how someone had done this to Magnus. He clenched his jaw but knew he had to stay calm for the crying young man in his arms. "Let's go to the couch." Alec suggested after Magnus’ sobbing slowed down and Magnus nodded slightly pulling back from the embrace. Alec felt a new wave of anger washing over him as he saw Magnus’ beautiful brown eyes shimmering with tears running down his cheeks like a waterfall. "Don't cry please... you're safe now." Alec said softly wiping the tears carefully off of Magnus’ face who again only nodded in an attempt at a response but all he could think about was if he was really safe here? Was it even possible for him to be safe with someone like Alec? Questions they both asked themselves but rather than dwelling on that they carefully walked through Alec’s living room while one of Alec’s arm was wrapped around Magnus waist to support him. Alec realized Magnus was slightly limping and he turned his head looking to the ground seeing that it was covered with blood. "Magnus, what the hell you’re bleeding!" Alec exclaimed as he helped Magnus to sit down on the couch as he was shaking from the cold even it was warm inside Alec’s place. Alec knelt down in front of Magnus very hesitantly taking Magnus left foot in his hand and looking at the bottom of it. There was the reason for the blood, a shard of glass was sticking out of the middle of his foot cutting deeper into his skin continually. "Stay here I'll get the first aid kit." Alec had seen much worse than Magnus' was by far so why did it worry him so much? He hurried to get the first aid box from under his sink and hurried back as soon as possible to his living room but seeing Magnus like this broke his heart. He sat on the couch shaking and chocking his sobs back as his lips quivered from whatever had happened to him. Alec needed to pull himself together so he took a deep breath and pushed all the disturbing emotions away for now. He took the black fur blanket from his couch and gently wrapped it around Magnus who startled at the unannounced contact which somehow made Alec even more furious because what ever happened must have been fucking terrible. Alec took his earlier position again and took a closer look at the wound. "This may sting a little." He informed before he sprayed some anti-infection spray on the wound but Magnus didn't react in the slightest to it at all. He just sat there looking out of Alecs big windows that exposed the Long Island night sky. "The shard isn't too deep and I don't think it's necessary to sue it but we should still go to a hos..." "No hospital... do whatever else you want but no hospital." Magnus’ interrupted Alec’s words his voice rough and tired. "Fine... no hospital then." Alec wouldn't force Magnus to anything and would always respect his decisions. Alec treated the wound deadly silence throughout the room neither speaking a word. The only sound that filled the space was Magnus’ broken sobs every now and then that escaped him. Once the wound was treated Alec put the first aid kid away and sat down just a few inches away from Magnus. "Magnus, can you please tell me now what happened and who did this to you?" Alec asked very carefully the anger slamming against his inner walls but he kept it together for him by sheer force of will. Magnus slowly turned his head towards Alec new tears rolling down his cheeks as he opened his mouth. "He... he was just so angry... I... And I said red...I said red." Magnus tried to speak but he only broke down crying and Alec’s heart stopped beating as he took in what Magnus had just told him. He was terrible with emotions but he decided to let the little part of his heart that wasn't stone yet lead him to Magnus. He moved closer and as careful as possible he took the crying boy in his arms. "Sh... just take deep breaths slowly in and out, in and out." Alec hushed him caressing one of Magnus’ hand feeling that it was ice cold. His whole body was cold from standing and walking outside. He wouldn’t stop shaking and with each shiver Alec’s heart shriveled a little more. "Who was angry?" Alec asked after a few minutes passed and Magnus sniffled trying to get a grip on himself. "Michale... he... he found out... he fo-ound out about our kiss. He... he was angry and... and he said if I want... if I want you so bad... I should see what I would be getting." Magnus’ voice was cracking and his throat sounded sour as he tried to get out the most important parts of the story. The blood in Alecs veins was boiling and he clenched his hands into fists as he thought about someone’s hands touching him that were NOT supposed to be there. "What did he do to you, Magnus?" Alec asked his voice deep and sounding on edge making Magnus feel smaller but he knew that wasn’t Alec’s intention. "He... he punished me... first with the... the wip and... and the he sent me out in just this." Magnus sobbed showing him the condition of his clothes with tears dripping on his jeans and Alec lost it. "That fucking prick, I'm going to end him!" Alec roared as he sprang up from the couch ready for murder but a soft smaller and cold hand grabbed his big one. "Please don't... don't leave me alone right now." Magnus pleaded struggling to keep his tears back as Alec looked in his beautiful brown eyes. Alec took a deep breath needing all of his strength to push his anger aside and sit down again. He pulled Magnus to his body hugging him carefully and Magnus brurried his face into Alec’s chest. The cries broke Alec’s heart and he rested his chin on the top of Magnus head. "I'm not leaving... ever." Alec promised closing his eyes and allowing himself to experience weakness for this beautiful soul in his arms...//tbc
