Dark Secrets

Chapter 50

Alec was extremely careful as he tried to strip Magnus from his clothes but it was proving difficult. Although the boy barely weighed anything it was still hard to get rid of all the cloths when Magnus wasn’t helping and Alec had to make sure that he wouldn't fall. It took time but finally Magnus was only left in his underwear and Alec was able to turn on the shower. He had to cool Magnus’ down body and the best way to do that was with cool water. He was going to give him some medication but Magnus would have to be awake for that so it has to wait for for the time being so this was everything Alec could do at the moment. "Magnus, this will be cold but you don't have be scared." Alec knew the chance that Magnus could hear him was slim to non but talking with him was calming Alec down. He lifted the shower head and let the cool water pour down on Magnus’ heated skin. The cold water hit Magnus’ skin instantly making him flinch but he didn't stay awake and even he couldn't say it Alec knew the cool water must feel like heaven. "I'm gonna kill him... better yet I'm gonna leave his ass in the worst prison and let him rot." Alec was so damn furious with Michale and wished he could just get his hands on him for even a second but to be honest he couldn’t even completely focus on that right now because throughout his entire body was worry. For the first time in his he really felt worried to lose something that wasn't even his. "He will regret everything; he will beg for death. You don't deserve any of this." In any other situation Alec would probably be drooling over such a perfect body but right now he could only look at Magnus closed eyes. "I care about you... a lot actually, so you can't die on me now." Alec felt so damn pathetic for what he was saying but in that moment he didn't care and he wasn’t thinking. "Don't worry it's just a cold." A raspy voice that was so angelic even though it was so weak and barely came out a whisper to Alec it was the most beautiful sound in the world. Magnus slowly blinked his eyes open and Alec couldn’t help the small smile and relieved breath that let his mouth. "Don't ever scare me like that again." Alec knew it wasn't Magnus’ intention but he still felt the need to say it even as Magnus rolled his eyes. "Sorry I didn't warn you... but it’s nice to see that you care." Magnus cracked out attempting a joke and Alec was a little surprised by the sassiness in Magnus’ tone but to admit it Alec quite liked it. "I'll always care about you. Even if I don't want to." Alec said softly as he pushed a hair to the side that was stuck on Magnus’ forehead and Magnus looked a little confused in Alecs eyes but Alec didn't focus on him. "Let's get you dressed and in bed... you need to rest." Alec suggested after he pulled himself out of the moment and only then Magnus realized where he was. A bright red blush covered his cheeks when he saw he wasn't wearing anything but his underwear but Alec only chuckled. "Don't worry... if I had seen something here I had never seen before I'd have thrown a dollar after it." Alec chuckled loving how the shy Magnus took over again and watched as the other covered his face with his hands. "Wait here. I'll get you new cloths and a towel." Alec added leaving Magnus alone in the shower who leaned his back against the wall. He still felt sick as hell and even as he tried to stay focused a new wave of nausea hit him. He just had enough time to get up in hurry to the toilet hating that he was going to throw up in Alec’s house but he also couldn't stop it. "Magnus!" Alec exclaimed dropping all of the things in his hands onto the tiled floor and hurrying over to Magnus’ side who was trying to catch his breath. "Don't look at me... this is gross." Magnus complained but before he could even blink he was vomiting once again and Alec could only roll his eyes. His mind shut off everything else once he started to comfort Magnus by gently rubbing his back while he was still trying to stop throwing up. "I don't care if you think it's gross and besides there are way grosser things than a little bit of puke." Alec said after Magnus was done and watched as he pulled a disgusted grimace at the taste in his mouth making him want him to throw up again. "For you maybe... do you have a spare toothbrush?" Magnus asked and Alec nodded getting up from the floor and getting everything Magnus would need. "Here are some clothes and an extra toothbrush. I'll wait outside and you can... get changed." Alec replied leaving Magnus in the room giving him some privacy and he inhaled deeply. He'd be lying if he said Magnus didn't drive him crazy but he had to keep his instincts inside and in check. He couldn't allow himself to slip like he did when he kissed Magnus. He knew now that if he and Magnus were to get closer Magnus would only get hurt and Alec made the decision a long time ago that he would protect him with his life. Magnus took a fair amount of time in the bathroom but Alec would give him all time in the world even though not long after the door opened. "Are you feeling any better?" Alec asked hesitantly checking Magnus’ forehead to find that was still burning and Magnus shook his head. Even though Magnus wasn't sweating anymore he felt like it was the middle of August heat when it was frozen outside. "You can either come with me downstairs and rest on my couch or you can go to bed." Alec didn't know if Magnus wanted to be alone right now or if he wanted like some company. "Will you stay?" Magnus’ voice was raspy and his eyes were puffed but he still looked incredibly beautiful when they met with Alec’s. "Actually I should take care of Micha..." "Don't. Let Hao deal with him and stay here; with me." Magnus was way to tired to deny the fact that he wanted nothing more than to be with Alec right now and lucky for him, Alec was way to worried to leave him alone anyway. "Then I'll stay." Alec answered with a little smile playing on his lips and he gently pulled Magnus into a comforting hug...//tbc them kissing now would be way to easy right 💜😉
