You Know What? F**king Bite Me! (How Did You Dare To!?) [MALEC ~ Alec X Magnus]

Sleeping Beauty (Magnus' POV)

I was running through a forest I have never been to before.

Someone was following... I could hear the steps behind me.

I tried to look back to whatever was coming... however when I stopped, it did, whenever I looked back nothing was there.

In the blink of an eye, in front of me, an almost ethereal figure appeared.

I was divided. Should I go to it? Should I keep running from whatever was following me?

Halfway through making a decision, the shiny creature started calling out my name.

Something told me that it meant no harm to me, so I started to take slow, yet cautious steps towards it.

It kept calling out my name, the more I walked towards it, the stronger the cry was.

Step by step, whatever was following me before long ago forgotten, I finally got in front of it.

The hand of the glowing creature moved towards me, I had to resist the urge to move away from it.

The ghost-like feeling I was expecting never came, the touch felt real, so real as if I wasn't dreaming at all.

It's hand gently rested on my forehead before moving down to cup one of my checks.

The form in front of my started to sing the most beautiful song I had ever listened to.

It's tone was angelic but somehow familiar.

Some kind of lullaby oddly familiar yet completely unknown filled my senses.

I really wished to be able to recall that lullaby when I woke up.

After a bit , the angel's singing stopped. The gold-like shining creature came even closer to me.

The now almost white glow was so strong I was left sightless.

Then, nothing...

"Rest well, Mags, I'll be back tomorrow." , was the first thing I could hear as I woke up from the dream.

I took the arm he used to place himself over me, which apparently he wasn't expecting because his arm almost escaped from my hold. The room's lights were pretty bright, I was having a hard time trying to adapt to them, a smiling Alec was all I saw when I could finally focus my sight into something more than colors and blurry forms.

"Did I woke up Mags?", asked Alec after a few seconds. "Yeah, you did. However, I'm not complaining if this is what I get every time I get up." I said as he took a seat on the chair next to me bed in which I suppose he was at before.

"You're welcome then," said my mate at the same he took my hand between his. I liked that sense of closeness our fingers interlaced provided. He kept playing his fingers and mine together for moment. Then he asked, "Magnus, how are you feeling?". He took a seat on the border on the bed, making sure to not actually be over me but still been as close as possible when he was comfortable next to me, he looked expectantly back at me. "I'm better now... Thanks for worrying.", I said, smiling weakly, now he was here I was for sure better.

"You don't need to thank me for that. I'm glad you're okay... These days were hell on Earth without you by my side.", he said as his hand moved down to caress my check. He really had that habit to caress me whenever he had the chance. It was something I hoped he never gets rid off. I didn't want to interrupt the moment but I really wanted to make sure he was staying longer."Alec... You... You don't have to go now, right?" I said doing my best to cover the hopefulness on my voice, something I failed miserably at.

He just smiled, then said, "No... Actually no. I was on my way out so I could let you rest, but now that you're awake I don't see the use on that... Would you like me to stay around?", as now a sly grin flashed on his face. He started to get up from the bed we both were just to then stop mid air to look back expectantly at me, waiting for an answer.

"I- I would like you to stay.", was my reply, as soon as I was done he took a seat once again next to me on my bed. "I'm glad to hear that... I wasn't going anywhere, trust me." Alec said with smile from before back on place.

He stayed there, talking about everything and nothing at the same, apparently I wasn't just sleeping for a few hours and I really had a lot to get up to. The conversation somehow died to lay in a comfortable silence I didn't problem with until...

"Is there anything on my face?" I blurted out when could stand it anymore, "As far as I can see, no... Why do you ask?", he replied, confusion pretty obvious on his face. "You have been looking intensely at me and then letting out a chuckle or two." I said looking away from him but my gaze went back to him as I could hear him laughing almost immediately.

"Hey!", I protested, crossing my arm over my chest. "You're unbelievable. You really thought I was making fun of you, didn't you?", slight mock plausible on his voice as he replied. I was probably pouting. Probably. At my lack of reply, he continued, "I'm just happy to see you again, you dork.", something melted inside of me.

I still wasn't used to this at all. I don't think I will ever be and I was glad for that.

Later on, I couldn't help the way my lips curled into a smile as I said I was equally happy to see him.
