"Why are you back so soon?" Michael asked as we reappeared.
"My father thought I had got kidnapped." I sighed. "We're heading back to the monorail now."

Magnus seemed really down. He barely spoke to me as we got the monorail back to the Council Tower.
"Hey, you okay?" I asked him before we exited.
"All I'm going to say is that if Lorenzo talks to me today, I am going to kill him."
"Oh."
We entered the tower, regained our sight after being blinded by the bright interior, and then headed up one of the staircases to a new corridor. We walked right down to the end and stopped outside a door. Magnus inhaled deeply before knocking. The door opened, and he squeezed my hand before leading me inside.
"Magnus. Why did you not respond to my text?" Asmodeus questioned his son. I tried not to laugh.
"I was busy inspecting the state of the Elite. Sorry, Father."
"Also, second question. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH GLITTER IN MY OFFICE!"
Magnus started laughing at his father's face. "I was redecorating and had nowhere to send it." He managed to choke out.
"I swear on the Morning Star, if I come to my office to find it covered in glitter again, I will kill that boy-toy of yours right in front of your very eyes, then maybe you'd respect me. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Father." Magnus murmured quietly, gripping my hand even harder.
"Good. Now get out of here." Asmodeus dismissed us, and I gladly left.

We exited my father's office. As soon as the door closed behind us, I portaled us back to my tower apartment. Safely back in my own home, I dropped my 'cool demonic prince' act and collapsed onto the sofa, pulling Alexander down with me.
"Hey, are you okay, Magnus?" His voice broke through the noise in my mind, and I finally let sleep deprivation, stress, and frustration win me over. I cried. Not little sobs. Big choking gulps of air that sent streams of tears down my face and made my makeup run.
"Hey, hey, Mags, come here." He pulled me into his arms, and I clutched his T-shirt tightly. Never have I liked faded black tops more than I did in that moment. "Tell me what's wrong, please."

I took a deep breath. "S-so basically I hadn't slept for two days because of the whole 'we're taking an Elite prisoner and killing them thing' because, like, what if it was you and what if you died, and then what would I do because you wouldn't be there and the only person who would have known you meant something to me wouldn't exactly be able to arrange anything for me, and then it was you and you were about to die, and then you didn't die, but then my F-Father  decided he was going to try and hurt you anyway, and then that Elite made me feel really bad, and I'm not going to leave you ever, and then I got sad because you have a family that loves you and I have none, and then my Father LITERALLY JUST THREATENED TO KILL YOU and now he's going to use you as blackmail to get me to do what he wants, and Lorenzo's a cishet asshat, and to be honest I just feel like shit."

I knew something was up. Now, I needed to sort it out." Hey, Magnus, look at me." His tear stained face moved to stare up at me." I get that you're upset from the whole 'Elite kidnapping thing,' but I'm alive, okay, and unharmed. Also, from what I've seen of Warp, I'm sure they would have found a way to sort it out for you. To add to that, your Father is a homophobic, demonic piece of shit that I couldn't care less about. Lydia is a horny female who wants to marry me for the reputation. I know that you're not going to leave me, okay? I KNOW THAT. My family, well, my family is your family, okay, and family isn't defined by blood. Tessa, Jem, Warp, and all the others, they are your family, and they love you. If your father uses me as blackmail I'm sure Warp will do something about it. Lorenzo can go suck a dick. Who knows, he might like it. Please don't let this stuff get you down, okay, I hate seeing you sad." He looked back up at me and smiled. Before pulling my lips to his and kissing me.

"You feel better now?" I asked, smirking.
He nodded as he buried his head in my chest again.

Well, this hurt my heart to write, but to be honest, I feel Magnus needed that. Second update in one night. I'm making up for it.
