COMPLETED - Malec: A Love Like No Other

You Belong With Me

A/N I hope you enjoy this one-shot. Thanks to everyone who has helped me get my story #1 in Malec. All characters belong to Cassandra Clare.

"Alexander!" Magnus called, "Honey!" Alec, who was busy doing the dishes rolled his eyes and carried on washing the plates they had eaten their dinner on. "Alec!" Magnus called again, "You've done enough work, get your beautiful self here." "Just got one more plate, Magnus," Alec responded. "Fine," Magnus drawled, "But get here-"

Magnus felt a jolt. And suddenly, he was not himself. His blood boiled and and his eyes turned black. He stood up and walked into the kitchen, his fingers glowing red and blue and black. His voice, when he heard it, was croaky and commanding, "Alec Lightwood."

Alec turned around slowly. "Magnus?" Alec said and when he got no response, he said again, "Magnus?" And then Magnus lunged for him. Alec had merely a second to move away and then Alec felt the electrifying pull of magic around his wrists. "Magnus!" Alec shrieked. "Stop!" And then Alec noticed Magnus' eyes. Magnus was possessed and for some reason the warlock was not fighting back. 

"Magnus, listen to me," Alec said and he ignored the pain in his wrists and planted his feet on the floor firmly. The demon was not strong enough to tug a Shadowhunter off their feet. Thankful for that, Alec carried on.

"Magnus, I know you are there. I know you can here me. Fight back, Magnus. You are not a demon. You are the most precious person I know. You can do this, Magnus, fight back for me. You are so strong and confident and whatever demon has got you in its grasp, it is not more powerful than you. And it certainly doesn't know love. You know love. You can do this. Come back to me, Magnus, I love you."

For a moment there was nothing more than silence. And then Magnus jerked, fell back and a mist rose in the air. Alec took a kitchen knife and struck the misty demon in the middle. With a howl, it vanished. Alec immediately shot down beside Magnus.

Alec hoisted Magnus onto his lap and carded through the warlock's hair. "Hey, Magnus," Alec said as Magnus opened an eye. "Alec- Alexander, I'm so sorry," Magnus whispered. "Shush," Alec whispered and then kissed Magnus' forehead. "It wasn't your fault." 

"How was it not?" Magnus protested. "Because you wouldn't kill a bee even if you knew it was going to sting you," Alec replied and Magnus smiled a wary smile. "The bee would've died after it stung me anyway," Magnus said and Alec laughed. "Well, you get what I mean," the Shadowhunter grinned and leaned down, pressing his lips to Magnus' before the warlock could argue further.

The Next Day

Alec kissed Magnus' forehead before going to the Institute. He was about to step through the Portal when Magnus' words stopped him. "Don't come back here." And before any form of negotiation could be held, Magnus pushed Alec through the Portal.

Alec landed in front of the Institute, startled. What the hell had Magnus meant? And even though Magnus' words had stuck in Alec's head, forgetting about work, Alec ran back to the loft, back to Magnus.

Magnus collapsed on the couch, the effort that went into pushing Alec through the Portal draining him. And after what felt like only a few minutes, Magnus felt the door open and he cursed himself. What was the point of kicking Alec out if Alec always carried a key to the loft with him? And then Alec was in front of him.

"Magnus, what?" Alec said, his eyes stormy. "Alec, I can't," Magnus said. "Why?" Alec asked, "It's your choice if you want to be with me or not, but I deserve to know why you are doing this," Alec said and Magnus could not lie, not when Alec's eyes were looking down with such hurt and confusion.

"Because after last night, I'm too afraid of hurting you," Magnus whispered the truth. And then Alec was kissing him. He only pulled away for air. "You stupid warlock," Alec said patiently. "You would never hurt me. And even if a demon does get into you, you'll fight back. You're so incredibly strong so I know you will. And therefore this is a stupid reason to break up with me. And therefore I am not allowing it," Alec finished and pulled Magnus into an embrace. 

And even if more talks were needed about the past few events, Alec wasn't going to let Magnus go because he knew Magnus would never hurt him. How would he, when he knows something no demon does? How would he, when he knows how to love?
