Solo

Security Corp

Case Lane Knight

Russia Mob

Part Two

I groan, standing in the corner of the jail, I already called the lawyer that gave me his number, and I’m hoping that #Dmitri and #Vladimir get me out of this before Daddy finds out. “Fuck me” I heard footsteps coming toward the cell. “McKenzie Rossi Ward, come with me” I looked at the officer, and l got up following him; I was taken into the investigation room. “Why didn’t you tell us your Agent” I leaned back at him. “I’m undercover doing my job. You can call my captain” He looked at me. “I did; he said that you were the best he could have, but why wasn’t l informed that you were in my city” I watched him very closely as the door knocked. “Agent Rossi Ward, a lawyer, is here with her grandfather.” I knew my grandfather would rip someone's ass apart over me. My grandfather steps into the investigation room and nods at me. And he takes a seat with his lawyer. “You are aware who Mr. Ward is” The officers and the Detective is surprised at who he is. “I think you better let my granddaughter go.” The Detective looks at me while l stare at him. “Grandfather, l have to talk to the Detective alone. Can you step out of the room” My grandfather stood up and walked out, seeing that #Dmitri and #Vladimir were waiting for him. He nods at him, and they both walk over. “Who did this to my granddaughter #Dmitri and #Vladimir?” They weren't sure if they should tell him.

Meanwhile, I'm looking at Detective. “You know your police officer needs to return to the police academy. They didn't read me my rights.” The Detective nods at me; there is a knock on the door. “Detective, there is a Captain Rossi here, and he is pissed with McKenzie’s father” I shake my head, knowing that this will not be pretty with my Daddy. #Dmitri, #Vladimir, and Daddy step into the interview room people I want to see cool things both of them place their badges on the table. To my surprise, they are Master Gunnery Sergeant Nick Carboni and Master Gunnery Sergeant Matteo Amante. “We have been on this case for years with Agent Rossi. You have a choice right now let her go, or her father will make sure your retirement comes fast.” Daddy unbuttoned his jacket, looked at me, and took off his coat on my shoulders.

“McKenzie Grace,” I smiled at Daddy, “Daddy” He took a seat and then looked at the Detective. Daddy places his hand on the table. “Well, you going to tell me the fucking changes against my daughter?” I watch the Detective sweating alot when his Police Captain and The Police Commissioner come in. “McKenzie Grace, we are very sorry. I didn't know this was about you. My assistant called me telling me that l need to be here” I nodded at him, and Daddy took a deep breath to keep calm. “Commissioner, please explain to your Detective who l am, and l do what an apology after this apology” He nodded at me. “The Internal affairs will have to be involved, McKenzie Grace” I took a deep breath and huffed, unhappy about this. Master Gunnery Sergeant Nick Carbon puts his right hand on my shoulder and squeezes it. I place my left hand on his right hand. “Could we say there are no charges against McKenzie so we can catch them and make him think she needs his help, along with Lane Knight and their runners #Sergio and #Myles?” he said very firmly. Nick made sure we were going to keep this case intact. The door knocked again. This time it was Jayce Alexander and my cousin Dalton and Greyson Ward; they kissed my cheek. The Commissioner shakes my cousin's hand and the same with Jayce Alexander #TBC

FOR ALL YOU MALEC HOES- HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY 💚

"Alec, will you please stop for a minute!" He exclaimed, trying to catch up with his husband, who was walking at an inhumane pace.

"I have demons to kill Magnus," Alec replied angrily.

He sighed. He hated when he was mad at him.

"Darling please, I don't want to fight with you." He shouted so that the shadowhunter could hear him amidst all the noise.

There were a bunch of demons advancing towards them, but Alec shot three arrows at once and effortlessly killed them in an instant.

"You should have thought that before trading our night on Valentines Day to kill some demons."

Magnus had gotten a call from the Madrid Institute about the sudden weakening of the wards. The head of the Institue who had become a good friend had tried reaching Alec, but his phone had been off, so they had called him up for their assistance. Being Valentine's Day, the Institutes were low on enforcement. He had groaned a little but agreed to come for their aid.

As soon as Alec had heard it, he had stormed out of the room and had been mad at him since.

"Magnus, there were plenty of others who could have done the job. Do you know how difficult it was to find a babysitter today of all days?"

He had to agree to that. The job did seem pretty easy, and any warlock could have done it.

He knows he made a mistake, but he has been trying to apologise to Alec since, but the man won't listen to him.

The shadowhunter, who never let his guard down in the field, continued reprimanding him for his actions when a Raum demon jumped behind Alec and almost clawed his way into his chest, pulling an agonising scream out of Magnus.

"ALEXANDER!!" He shouted and ran towards the man

Before the demon could rip apart his husband's intestine, Magnus summoned all the power he had inside of him and unleashed his magic on them, and they screamed and splintered across the floor instantly.

He could feel his heart thudding in his chest.

He looked at Alec, who had the audacity to look surprised by a demon trying to kill him during a demon fight.

Suddenly he felt a wave of irrational anger towards him for being so reckless in the field.

Instead of just one of them being angry, now both of them were mad at each other. Great.

He grabbed Alec by the sweater and pulled him closer. "Are you out of your goddamn mind, Alexander?"

The man had the good sense to at least look guilty.

"Being mad at me is one thing but being an absolute moron and acting this reckless on field is another thing?"

He grabbed him by the waist and wrapped his arms around him as tightly as possible. He needed to feel Alec and make sure he was okay right now. They could continue their fight later.

They headed back home after ensuring the scene was cleared, but there had been an uncomfortable silence which was rare between the two of them.

Alec left the room saying he had a few calls to attend. He had just sighed and nodded at that.

He really didn't understand why he was acting like this. Alec never got mad at him.

He knew he shouldn't have changed the plans, but sometimes their jobs did require them to do that. And Alec had always been the one to support him. The beautiful idiot hadn't even batted an eye when Magnus had to leave their St. Barth's trip to go help Julian and Emma.

So his reaction was confusing him. He looked angry, but more than that, he looked hurt. And Magnus couldn't figure out why.

He didn't want to go to sleep fighting with him, so he went out to look for him and found him on the balcony.

"Alec, Can we.." he whispered.

Before he could finish the sentence, the shadowhunter turned and flung himself into his arms.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you. I'm sorry, baby, I'm sorry." he kept on murmuring softly.

Magnus held him for a while and carded his fingers through his hair in a soothing motion.

"Sweetheart, I really am sorry for cancelling our date. But I know that's now what has gotten you this mad. Will you please tell me what's bothering you?"

Alec sighed heavily at that.

"Its so stupid"

"Its not stupid if its bothering you." He added sincerely.

"I.. I just dont want to lose you."

He restrained himself from yelling, what the fuck at the words.

"We live such busy lives, Magnus, and it has only gotten worse since I became the Consul. And I feel like I have barely seen you since the past two weeks."

Alec was indeed right; the past few days had been very busy, and they had only gotten a few stolen moments in the morning or night with each other.

He continued, "And you know Rafe and Max are my life; I love them, but, between all the work and parenting, I don't want to lose you. Us. I just wanted to spend one night with you. Just being yours."

He really was a beautiful idiot sometimes.

He knows how much Alec loves him, but his sheer devotion still surprises him sometimes.

Magnus grabbed his face and brought their foreheads together. "Alec, my Alec. That's never going to happen. You are my heart, and I will never let something as stupid as work comes between us. It's you and me against the world, love."

He felt the shadowhunter nod at that.

"I'm still sorry for acting like an asshole. For going all crazy." He added with a shy grin.

"It's forgiven. I cannot believe you got this pissed just because you didn't get laid for two weeks." He added to lighten the mood.

Alec laughed at that and smacked him across his chest.

He knew what he had to do next. The night was still young. "I have a very important question for you." He said as sincerely as possible.

Alec looked questioningly at him.

He waved a hand, and the balcony was covered in fairy lights, and a small table with candlelit dinner appeared.

He held out his hand forward and asked with a playful grin on his face. "Alexander Lightwood Bane, will you do me the honors of being my Valentine tonight?"

Alec's face softened at that, and there was that beautiful smile on his face that had made him fall in love with him. He clasped his hand with Magnus as easily as he himself had done all those years ago and nodded.

"I will be your Valentine forever, Magnus."

tagging anyone I could think of screaming crying throwing up over them. Sorry if I forgot anyone pls I'm at work. I am apology ksksksk

Chapter 20

The Sins I've done.

The warm lights of the sun fell on Magnus' exposed body making him stir in his sleep. He fluttered his eyes open and found himself wrapped in the cage of his husband's arms. A light smile played on his lips. He looked at him who was looking heavenly, the rays of sun-soaking his body was making him glow. His pale skin was shining brightly in a shade of gold.

"Stop staring, love," Alec said in his morning husky voice, then slowly opened his eyes. The shade of red creeping over his warlock's face was beautiful. He smiled and kissed those red cheeks.

"Morning, love."

"Good Morning! How long were you awake?"

"Not long, but I was enjoying the feeling of holding my husband in my arms."

Magnus pouted. "Not fair!"

Alec chuckled and kissed his warlock softly tasting his morning breath, the one he loves so much.

"I'm going to make breakfast for us, you go get freshen up till then," Alec said and kissed him again.

"Okay!" The warlock whispered softly. The feeling he was having was really weird for him. Everything was looking so heavenly and right. So calming. It was scary, it felt like the calm before the storm. He eventually got up and left for the bathroom.

Alec got up too and left for the kitchen. He prepared a breakfast of pancakes, two fried eggs, crispy bacon, butter toast, a bowl of diced fruits, a glass of orange juice for Magnus, and a cup of coffee for himself. Just as he was placing everything on the tray, his husband walked into the kitchen.

As usual, Magnus was looking beautiful. His clothes were not as bright as his usual clothes, but they suited him really well. He was wearing a simple dark blue button-down shirt with black pants, the jewelry was minimal and he was barefoot for now.

He walked towards the coffee table where Alec had placed their breakfast and they sat on their respective chairs eating in comfortable silence until Alec broke it.

"Hey, love. I have to leave early today, I have some important work scheduled and I can't miss it. I'll try to be back early though. Are you okay with it?"

Magnus nodded. He knew his shadowhunter had duties. He can't complain about it or force him to stay. So he didn't say much.

After finishing the rest of the breakfast in silence, Alec quickly got dressed up and was ready to leave. While he was getting dressed up he noticed that Magnus was standing in front of the mirror looking at himself with a blank expression on his face. He quickly got dressed up then walked towards his husband and hugged him from behind.

"Penny for your thoughts?" He asked and kissed him on top of his head.

Magnus looked at his husband from the mirror, his eyes were hazy but he didn't know why. He relaxed a little when the grip of his shadowhunter's arms tightened around his waist.

"Nothing, just feeling a little low. I.. I want you to stay but I know you have to go to work." He looked down at the floor.

"Hey!" Alec started and turned his husband towards him, then put his fingers below his chin and tilted his head upwards, and kissed him on the bridge of his nose. Magnus slowly lifted his eyes and looked at him. "I'm sorry, Mags. I want to stay too, but I have some important work today. I promise I'll be back as soon as possible. And if you're feeling low, just rest okay? I'll be home as soon as I can, okay?"

Magnus hugged his husband tightly and rested his head on his chest. He felt his husband's lips on top of his head. "Okay, Alexander. Just, please come home soon."

"I'll come home soon only if you let me go, love."

Magnus broke the hug and looked at his shadowhunter, his eyes were glossy again. He didn't know what was happening, but he didn't like it. Alec wrapped his hands around Magnus' neck and kissed him passionately.

"Bye, Mags, I'll see you in the evening."

Magnus said goodbye and watched his shadowhunter leaving the loft. He sighed. Everything seemed weird today.

____________________________________

Magnus spent the whole day dealing with frustrating clients, watching boring TV shows, and summoning some Italian food for lunch. It was already 5:30 and he was waiting for his husband to arrive. He was lying down on the couch going through stupid mundane shows when the doorbell rang. His face lit up, he waved his hands and opened the door. As soon as he saw the person his happiness turned into anger.

"What are you doing here? How are you here in the first place and how were you able to break my wards?"

"Oh my love, so many questions. Relax. You blocked my number so I thought visiting you would be best. Aren't you surprised to see me?"

"No, I'm not Camille Belcourt. I'm asking again, how are you here?"

"I have my way, Magnus. I'm a vampire if you're forgetting."

"No, I'm not." He said coldly. "How did you break my wards?"

"Oh, Magnus." She smirked, "It's not hard to compel your clients, you know."

Magnus looked at her wide-eyed. "You.... encanto'd my regular client. That's why my wards... what do you want Camille?"

"I already told you, Magnus!" As she started walking towards him, Magnus quickly stood up and tried to back away from her but she used her vampiric powers and pinned him down on the couch and her pointed fingers on his face. "I want you."

"Get your hands off me, Camille."

"Why so bitter Magnus? Didn't you enjoy our time? Why am I even asking, did you kiss me yourself the first time Magnus. Willingly." She smirked.

Tears formed in Magnus' eyes remembering it. "That was a mistake. I hate you with every fiber of my being, Camille Belcourt!" He spat.

"No, you don't, my love." Using her vampiric strength, she pinned him down on the couch and got on top of him. Magnus tried to resist but it went in vain. She stroked his face with her pointed nails and looked him directly in the eyes. Her pupils became larger and wider. "You love me and only me. You want me. I'm your only true love, Magnus."

Magnus tried to resist the encanto but he failed. He didn't know what was wrong with him today. His lips moved automatically. "I love you."

"That's better, my love. Kiss me now, Magnus."

Even though Magnus didn't want to do any of it, his body didn't seem to be in control of him. He felt weak and useless. His lips automatically moved, brushing with her blood-red ones.

Camille smirked in between the kiss. When they broke the kiss, she looked directly into his eyes again with her larger dull black eyes. "Tell me, Magnus, you're doing it willingly?"

"No!"

"Wrong!" She focused on his tear-filled brown eyes again. "You're doing it willingly, my love. This is not encanto, you're doing everything of your free will. You love me and only me. You want to explore every part of my body. Make love to me Magnus. Just the way we used to do."

Magnus nodded against his will. He was in total control of that vampire. Camille smiled viciously. She licked her fangs and looked at the sweet warlock beneath her. She unbuttoned the first few buttons of his shirt and started kissing him on the neck. When she found the perfect vein, she buried her fangs into it drawing out his blood, and started drinking it. Magnus let out a gasp. He was feeling weak, powerless, and disgusted. He didn't want to do any of it but he felt helpless.

"Make love to me, Magnus." She said again and kissed him hungrily on his lips. She grabbed his shirt and using her vampiric strength and powers she changed their position so that Magnus was on top of her. Magnus leaned down and kissed her again, trailing down towards her jaw and neck. She let out a low moan. "That's right, my love. Just like that. I ask you again, Magnus, are you doing it willingly?"

"Yes, yes I'm doing it willingly." He said and continued with the kisses. Even though he knew it was wrong, he wanted to say no, but he had lost total control of himself. He felt disgusted.

"Look at me, my love." She smirked when he followed. "Remove your wedding and promise rings and throw them away."

Magnus's heart skipped a beat. He hesitated. He didn't want to do that. He tried to back away but she gripped him tightly. She looked him in the eyes and focused on them, her own going completely dull black leaving no whites in it. "I'm saying it again, my love, remove your wedding and promise rings and throw them away. And you're doing it willingly."

Magnus looked like he had seen a ghost. Her eyes going completely black when using encanto was really rare for a vampire. It indicated how dark and dangerous vampires are. She had never shown it before which only meant that turning back into a vampire had made her more vicious than before. He obliged to her immediately.

He took out his rings from the finger, the rings which meant so much to him, the thin platinum ring engraved with black lining, that was the promise ring; the Lightwood ring which Alec wanted to propose from and he turned out to be the one proposing; and finally his wedding ring, it was a beautiful diamond ring but the Lightwood ring mattered to him more.

He looked at them, he didn't want to throw them away but his body and mind weren't in his control at all. He fisted them in his hand and threw them on the floor, he didn't see where they landed. Guilt was building too strongly inside him.

Camille smiled devilishly. Her eyes were still the same and they were really scary. "That's better. I don't want them on you. Now, my love, remove our clothes and make love to me, hardly and roughly."

Magnus obliged. He removed his shirt and Camille's single strapped crimson crop top, which had black embroidery all over it, revealing her blood-red tube bra. "Remove them all, my love." She said smirking, her eyes never leaving Magnus'.

Magnus obliged again. He removed her bra as well then started kissing her all over, leaving light bruises on her neck and chest. Camille had a constant smirk on her face. He then reached for her midnight black jeans and undid them, then he went for his own pants.

He was halfway through undoing his pants when he heard a loud thud and jumped away from her. He looked at the source of it and what he saw was scarier than Camille's full dull black eyes.

His shadowhunter was standing on the entryway leading to the living room, looking at them with shock. Tears were flowing down his cheeks, and he seemed like he couldn't move. His beautiful hazel eyes were not bright as usual and they were showing heartbreak and regret. Something was scattered on the floor which seemed like a bouquet of flowers and some boxes. It was all too blurry.

Magnus's heart started racing badly. His eyes were too foggy to see anything clearly. This isn't what he wanted, he was himself frozen in his place looking at the heartbroken shadowhunter with pleading eyes.

Camille had a constant sly grin on her face as if she had accomplished what she wanted. Her eyes were back to normal again. She took her clothes and quickly dressed. She looked between both the boys who didn't seem to move from their places. She decided to make her last move. She put her pale hands on Magnus' cheeks and turned his face towards her.

"My love, looks like we're interrupted, we'll continue it later, okay?" Magnus nodded unwillingly. She smirked and got way too close to him then looked him in the eye again and whispered "kiss me, Magnus." Magnus obliged immediately.

He kissed her, despite the fact that he didn't want to, he kept kissing her until she broke it. From the corner of his eyes, he could see the shadowhunter was looking down at the floor, tears were flowing down uncontrollably on his cheeks, his breathing was heavy and it seemed like he was looking at something.

It clicked to him at that moment that he was looking at the rings he had thrown earlier unwillingly. Guilt crept inside him, he never wanted to hurt his shadowhunter, but he did it anyway.

Camille broke the kiss and looked at the nephilim, a wicked grin playing on her lips. She stood up looking at the two men one last time and left.

Magnus was frozen in his place and so was Alec. There was dead silence in the room, an uncomfortable creepy silence. Until Alec finally decided to break it.

"Why Magnus?" He whispered, his voice showing no emotion.

Magnus gulped, hard. "A.. I.." he didn't know why, but he wasn't able to form words, he wanted to scream that he didn't do anything, it was all Camille, she encanto'd him to do things to her against his will, that he was innocent, but words betrayed him. He wasn't able to say what he wanted to. "I... I don't know." That was all he was able to say, a teardrop escaped from his eye and fell on his cheek.

Alec bent down and picked up the rings gently, stroking his fingers softly over them. "You don't know!" He whispered, then looked at his husband. "You don't know why you were about to fuck her!?" He yelled.

Magnus flinched back at the tone his shadowhunter had used, he had never used that tone on him. "A.. Alexander.. please...."

"Please what, Magnus?" He sniffed, he was crying uncontrollably. "Did she do this? Did she encanto'd you? Was it her? Tell me, Magnus? Because, from the way I saw it, it didn't look like that. So, tell me if it was her!"

He wanted to say yes, he wanted to tell him that he'll never do something like that to him, that he was innocent, that Camille manipulated him in a wicked way. He wanted to tell the truth but his mind and body were reacting to the stupid encanto Camille did on him. And he hated that. He wanted to break the encanto but he wasn't able to.

"No, she didn't encanto'd me, I did it willingly. I don't know why, but I did it willingly." He repeated what Camille compelled him to say, and cursed himself when he saw his husband's reaction. He had taken a step backward, constantly looking at the floor, and had a blank expression on his face. His tears didn't seem to stop. His breathing was uneven and heavy.

"Why?" He asked with his trembling voice. "I... I know we've been distant for some time, Magnus. We haven't done it in a long time, but it was because of your health, I didn't want to do something when you were not well. I.. I didn't know you were trying to find pleasure from others behind my back." He sniffed and closed his eyes.

Magnus's breath was caught in his lungs. He wasn't able to breathe. He wanted to scream that his words were not true. That he wasn't able to control his actions. But with what his shadowhunter was saying, he felt like he was talking to his own insecurities. Tears were running down from his own eyes. He wasn't able to speak anymore.

"I loved you, Magnus. Unconditionally. But you.." he sniffed again. "I loved you when you were at your weakest, at your lowest, I loved you when you acted like a child even when you're a 500 years old warlock, I loved you even when others called you monster, I loved you when you had nothing. Then, why Magnus!? Why did you do this to me? Why did you cheat on me?"

Magnus was frozen in his place, listening to the word 'cheating' out loud was making the guilt inside him stronger, his eyes were focused on the floor, not daring to meet his husband's. Tears were flowing down his face. He gulped. He wanted to make his shadowhunter understand that he was under encanto, but he didn't know how. He felt too weak and helpless.

"It's better to die than live like this. I won't be able to live in this pain you've given me, Magnus."

His eyes shot up at that and he finally looked at his husband. His eyes and nose were red from the crying, his fists were clenched so tightly that they were bleeding. He was holding his rings in one fist and his breathing was heavy. His expressions were unreadable.

Magnus felt extremely guilty. He wasn't ready to lose his shadowhunter all over again. "A.. Alexander, p.. please... I'm... I'm sorry-"

"Shut up!" He yelled again, causing Magnus to flinch back. "Just shut up. I'm done with it. I never thought you would do this to me. I loved you, but you, Magnus. All I want to do is die right now. We're done, Magnus. I can't be here anymore. I'm leaving, and don't try to find me, Magnus Bane!" With that being said, he stepped back a few times then stormed out of the apartment, leaving Magnus completely heartbroken and shattered.

"ALEXANDER! NO, NO, NO! STOP! PLEASE!" He fell in his place and started crying uncontrollably. "Stop! Please, stop! Don't leave me, please! Forgive me! Please don't leave me! Please don't!" He kept begging to no one in particular, then after some time he fell unconscious and everything went black.

Silence is Deadly - Chapter Two

So much love to @elven-aeterna who has been so nice and is giving me some motivation!

All characters belong to Cassandra Clare.

Part I - Pandemonium

For about a week after Magnus had gone to see Alec (or Brother Nehemiah, whatever he was), Magnus was still getting drunk every night. Yes, he knew it was not a good idea, but Magnus didn't care. It was something he did after a break-up. Like that one time in Peru.

It was hard for Magnus to adjust to this new life. Magnus had fallen in love with so many people, and had so many of them leave him. Everyone left him in someway, but it had never hurt like this.

The pain was like a wound that would never heal. One that if you accidentally opened it again, it hurt worse than when you got it.

Tessa was there for him, though. She'd been doing a lot of things for Magnus. Every night she'd been getting take-out and not forcing Magnus to talk about it if he didn't want to.

"I know it hurts," Tessa would say, "but you'll get over it."

"Tessa, when Jem became a Silent Brother, you were in a cave with Will Herondale," Magnus pointed out. "You had someone to love. I'm all alone."

"I'm just trying to help," she whispered. "Don't push me away if I can help you."

Magnus sighed and got up from the chair he was sitting in.

"I want to go out," he said. "You know, to a club or something. Tess, you want to come with me?"

"As long as you feel better." Tessa got up and walked towards Magnus. "Where do you want to go?"

Magnus turned around, grinning like a devil. "The Pandemonium Nightclub."

Part II - Hope

Magnus loved Pandemonium club. It was a place he had gone to many nights. He's tried to bring Alec there one night, but Alec didn't like it. At least now that Magnus was here he didn't have the painful memories of Alec attached to here.

They walked up to the club, pounding music coming from the vicinity. People loittered outside, some of them smoking.

Mundane clubs drew Downworlders because it was easier for them to fit in. Magnus could pass his cat eyes off as weird contacts at clubs like this. It was kinda nice to be able for Magnus to be himself, and not have to hide.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" Tessa asked.

A moment of silence hung between them. The only sound was the bass of the music coming from inside Pandemonium.

"I'll be fine," Magnus replied. "I'm going to be fine."

"I just want to be sure," Tessa said. "Magnus, I care about you. And I don't want you to try and be okay even though you need time."

"I'm fine," Magnus promised. Tessa opened her mouth to speak, and Magnus bolted into Pandemonium.

It wasn't that he wanted to avoid Tessa. He just needed to stop her from going to full-on Mom Mode. Not like Magnus would be able to avoid her yelling at him later, but Magnus needed to be alone in a crowd of people.

Standing in the middle of the crowd, Magnus closed his eyes. It was almost calming how he could disappear here, become just another lonely soul in a building of sorrow.

Magnus opened his eyes again. A woman from his past was standing in front of him.

"Hello, Hypatia," Magnus said. "Fancy seeing you here."

"I was bored," Hypatia explained. "I wanted a change in locale. So I travelled to New York."

"It's strange to see you here," Magnus commented. He anxiously drummed his fingers on the side of his leg. To be honest, it was one of the most awkward situations Magnus had been in.

Hypatia and Magnus had dated a long time ago. Even if Magnus tried to have an amicable parting when he broke up with people, not seeing Hypatia for about a hundred years just made this weird.

"How have you been doing?" Hypatia asked. "Anything big happen in the past . . . Oh, about hundred years."

"I dated a Shadowhunter," Magnus replied. "He was turned into a Silent Brother really recently."

"My colodences," she said. "You know, Malcolm Fade is starting a service to help warlocks who have fallen in love with Shadowhunters and. . . . Things happened. You remember what happened with Annabel?"

"Of course I do," Magnus whispered. "That was horrible. Wait-what happens next?"

"I don't know."

"I don't care," Magnus said. "I don't even care, Hypatia, but if I can get Alec back-everything is going to be okay. Thank you so much."

"Uh-okay," Hypatia replied. "You know, Malcolm is just across the street. That's why I came here, Magnus, to check up on Malcolm."

"Thank you so much. I will be forever grateful."

And Magnus bolted across the dance floor again, finally allowing himself to hope again.

Part III - Evil Warlock

Magnus was a little worried that Hypatia was screwing with him. But at this point he was desperate.

He missed Alexander. Magnus always knew there was a chance he could lose him, but here he was, with that possibility already playing itself out.

The building across the street Hypatia was talking about had mainly dark windows. One had a bright light streaming out of it, but it was from under blinds that were half-drawn.

There was warlock magic here. Some wards, but just against mundanes. Warlocks could come and go as they pleased.

"I must be so desperate," Magnus whispered to himself. "But Hypatia hasn't steered me wrong before."

Magnus took a deep breath, and opened the doors of the building.

There was a set of stairs. A plastic sign was sitting in front of it. Magnus stepped closer to read it.

"Lost a Shadowhunter lover to the Silent Brothers or the Iron Sisters? Come upstairs and have a little talk with Malcom Fade."

"A little creepy," Magnus whispered to himself.

He took a deep breath and walked up the stairs, slowly. He kept expecting a demon to show up out of nowhere or something like that.

On the landing at the top of the stairs, there was a waiting area and a few chairs, along with one of those "take a number" signs. Magnus took a number and sat down in a chair, staring forward at a door with a number sign above it. The number was 19.

Magnus looked down at his slip of paper. His number was twenty.

The number ticked forward. Now it was at twenty.

The door opened, and Malcolm Fade walked out, wearing an elegant suit.

"Magnus Bane," he said. "Fancy seeing you here."

Love knows no language

Read on ao3

If moving on with Magnus has taught Alec something, it was that Magnus ranted a lot in Bahasa Indonesia when he was angry, and the recent loss of his powers made him kind of irritable. He was so used to having his magic for everything that he easily forgot he couldn’t afford the luxury to just snap his fingers.

He has always utilized his magic for everything, for trivial things like opening doors or for more serious purposes, basically saving lives. But using magic was part of his job too. Now that he wasn’t the High Warlock anymore, he was finally free of obligations and had all the time he needed but he wasn’t able to receive any client. Because they didn’t need him, they needed his magic.

« I’m too powerful for anyone’s good.» Magnus had said once and it was true, but now he just felt so powerless. He hated that feeling, his father, himself, everything that happened recently. He felt mad at everyone but also so guilty because he'd become useless. That's why he couldn't be as patient and understanding anymore and a little upsetting thing was enough to make him lose his temper.

The first time Alec heard Magnus speaking in his native language, it was during his period of convalescence after his fight against the Owl. Magnus and him were sitting on the sofa, Alec was quietly reading some mission reports while Magnus was just looking at him, playing with his messy hair. Everything was just peaceful and they almost forgot all the troubles around them. Unfortunately, this precious moment didn't last. Magnus' phone started ringing. Magnus didn't look really happy when he saw who was calling him but he answered anyway.

“ Yes, hello ?” He said, standing up because he liked to walk when he was talking with someone on the phone. “ No, I'm not really available at the moment...”

Alec couldn't help but stop what he was doing, intrigued by the conversation. Was it a client ? It looked like it. Alec couldn't hear a lot but he understood that the client was being insistant and wanting to see a warlock. After saying for the third time it wasn't possible to take an appointment right now, Magnus was tired of being nice. As the conversation was getting longer, he felt more tense and upset. Enough with the politeness.

“And now ? Do you understand when I say that I can't or do I need to try in German ?” He said before hanging up brutally and he realized his hands were shaking. He needed to breathe.

Alec glanced at him, confused. That wasn't English, he was hundred percent sure about that. Magnus probably felt Alec's gaze and he looked toward his direction. In other circumstances, he would have translated the sentence he's used but now he was too mad to answer the question in Alec's eyes. So instead, he just dropped it and said « Nevermind.» before leaving the room.

And this situation happened again, like the time when Magnus broke a glass and tried to fix it, forgetting his magic wasn't here. Mad at himself, he spoke with words that Alec had never heard before. The language was hypnotizing and Magnus' voice beautified it more in a perfect way but Alec never had the time to ask for a translation because his boyfriend refused to stay with him, like he was ashamed. It was like talking in his native language made Magnus feel safe, kind of protected from Alec's judgement. Alec would never make fun of him and Magnus knew that perfectly but he couldn't help it. His own demons weren't going to leave him in peace and dealing with them was something he needed to do alone.

Well, not really, but that's what he thought at least.

Alec wasn't completely ignorant, he could see the love of his life was struggling. But how could he help when he was just hitting a wall every time he tried to offer his presence ? He wanted to understand, to be able to answer Magnus and reassure him. That whole situation was so frustrating.

One day, Alec had enough. Magnus didn't want to say what was on his mind ? Fine. He'd find it by himself.

Saying that he was really invested in his new mission was definitely a understatement. A new book was constantly on his desk and even if Alec didn't have a lot of breaks because there was always a Shadowhunter who needed to talk to him, he was spending all of his free time reading it. Izzy came to see him once and she raised an eyebrow when she saw his new activity. She didn't say anything, she just smiled and Alec blushed a little, pretending to ignore all the questions she was asking with her eyes only. His behavior made Izzy laugh and she just set aside the report she brought to him before leaving the room.

“ Have fun.” She teased and Alec rolled his eyes. She'd probably ask for details later so he better enjoy the calm before the storm.

*****

One day, Alec came home tired and irritated. He just had an interminable meeting with the representatives of the Downworld and Lorenzo was exhausting, always trying to take advantage of the situation, always twisting his sentences to change completely the meaning of the words he's used. In conclusion, this reunion was a nightmare and Alec was really happy when he could finally end the meeting and be free of that pretentious new High Warlock of Brooklyn. He just wanted to get some rest and get rid of a growing headache.

He heard Magnus talking in the living room and at first Alec thought he was on the phone with someone. He realized after a few seconds the warlock of his heart was just rambling for an unknown reason.

Alec sighed, not in the mood to be pushed away again. Nonetheless, he tried to show some support, as always.

“Hey babe, what's wrong ?”

Once again, Magnus pulled his wards up, avoiding the conversation and talking to a wall would have been more efficient.

“Nothing.”

Alec felt helpless. He wanted to be more insistent but he knew that Magnus would just avoid him again. Alec had no right to pressure his boyfriend and make him talk, he was very aware of that. Magnus always dealt with his emotions alone and it wasn't a bad thing, everyone had their own way of finding the light again. But this time was different and Magnus seemed to be lost in the darkness and couldn't remember the right path. In all their time together, that situation had only happened once, after that regrettable incident where Magnus got trapped in Valentine's body. The state of confusion and emotional pain he was could probably be compared to that situation. But he didn't ask for help because he didn't want to drown Alec with him in his dark thoughts.

To Alec, Magnus was a lot of things. A reason to smile, an anchor, a motivation to keep fighting, the love of his life... But Magnus will never be a burden. Never.

“Magnus... Talk to me, please...” Alec wanted to take Magnus' hand but his boyfriend stepped back.

“Leave me alone Alexander. ” Magnus was using his native language as an armor like he did these past few days. Once again, he tried to hide his emotions even thought he knew perfectly it wouldn't help him feel better.

“Please let me help you. Don't push me away. ”

Magnus suddenly froze and Alec didn't understand why. He took the Shadowhunter a minute to realize he answered in Bahasa Indonesia. The words rolled off his tongue and he didn't have any control. It just happened, without a logical explanation. Magnus was still staring at him and his unending silence worried Alec. Did he offend him ? Did he just insult him in his mother tongue without knowing it ? Was Magnus mad because he learnt that language behind his back ? All these questions were spiralling in his head and Alec was about to apologize when Magnus snapped out of his trance and answered, What did you just say ?

Alec opened his mouth to talk but Magnus interrupted him.

“ Forget it, I know what you said.”

With a new assertiveness, the former High Warlock of Brooklyn walked straight to his boyfriend, gently rested his hands on Alec's cheeks and gave him the most tender and loving kiss. Alec definitely wasn't expecting this and he needed a few seconds to figure out what was happening before kissing his soulmate back.

It was soft, peaceful, just a sweet moment which stopped time. Actually, not really, but it felt like it. Anything could have happened and they probably wouldn't notice it. The kiss ended slowly but this time, Magnus didn't try to put some distance between them. He stayed close, finally feeling appeased. What Alec did was genuinely kind and Magnus didn't fully realize that Alec really took the time to learn his native language. Of course his pronunciation wasn't perfect and he wasn't completely fluent but that didn't matter. The most important was he really cared that much about him and Magnus was so grateful for his boyfriend.

“ Aku cinta camu.” He whispered against Alec's lips and the latter couldn't contain his smile. “ You never cease to amaze me Alexander.”

Alec laughed a little and gently pressed his lips against Magnus' forehead.

“ I love you too.”

Chapter 10

Emotions speak louder than words

Alec looked at her with slight relief and nodded. "Then let's head to New York tomorrow morning itself!"

"If that has to be done then I think Madzie can stay with him for the time being, in that way Magnus won't be alone."

"That sounds like a great idea, but... there's still a problem."

Catarina raised her brow. "What is it?"

"What am I going to tell Magnus about leaving for New York? I can't just say that I have to leave without giving him any reasonable explanation. And you're leaving with me too, he'll get suspicious and will ask a hell lot of questions!"

"We need to come up with something, but honestly I don't even know."

Rubbing his temples, he started pacing around when something struck him. He took out his phone and sent a quick text to his all-time lifesaver.

• Emergency needed, call ASAP!

-Alec. •

Catarina was looking at him intently, reviewing his actions, she got a glimpse of his text and got curious.

"Emergency needed! Really? And who did you text that to? Who else knows?"

Before Alec could answer, his phone started buzzing. He quickly picked it up and put it on speaker, but before he could say anything the other side's voice came quickly with a fierce and strong tone.

"Alec! Look, if this is one of your stupid kinds of emergencies, I swear, I'll portal myself to Alicante and kick your sweet little ass!"

Alec was mortified and his face was flushed with embarrassment. He looked at Catarina who was trying not to laugh.

"Are you done, Izzy!?"

Izzy sighed, then continued. "What is it, big brother?"

"First off, you're on speaker, Catarina is with me so 'thank you' for your sweet talk and second, we've found the complete spell!"

"By the angel! You did!" Izzy squealed. "But... this was your emergency, Alec?"

"Not exactly, for this ritual, I have to come to New York for a few days and Catarina is coming too, I'll explain everything when I'll be there. But the thing is, I don't know what to tell Magnus. Madzie is going to stay with him, but I can't just tell him I'm leaving without any reason, so, word of advice?"

"And to be honest, even though I'm not able to come up with something, knowing Magnus he's not gonna get convinced easily," Catarina added and looked at Alec.

"Oh! Hi Cat! Thank you for helping my brother, it's good to know that he has your support as well. And I agree with that. It's Magnus we're talking about."

"Izzy, not helping!" Alec said impatiently.

"Calm down big brother! Hold on a second..."

There was silence for some time on either side and Alec was growing impatient.

"Izzy, are you there?" But there was no reply.

"Izzy!?"

"Patience Alec!" Came the reply.

Alec sighed and looked at Catarina, she was getting worried too. After a few more minutes, Izzy finally spoke.

"Okay, so Alec, are you going to be busy with your ritual 24X7, or you'll have free time as well?"

"Honestly, it will take just a day, but I'll be needing everyone's permission first, I have to talk to everyone then only I'll proceed with it."

"Perfect! I think I have a solution to your problem!"

Alec and Catarina exchanged a look and heard her plan with curiosity.

_________________________

it was past 5:30 when Alec reached back home. As he entered, a strong smell engulfed his nostrils. Walking in further, he noticed Magnus's sleeping figure on the couch and sighed. The smell was strong and flavorful, so he was certain that something was cooking in the kitchen.

He walked towards their kitchen and saw that various kinds of herbs were spread on the kitchen slab, a pot was kept on the stove which was the source of the smell, and the stove was still on. He turned it off then walked back into the living room where his warlock was still sound asleep.

Kneeling down, he first caressed his cheek then left a soft peck on his forehead. As he was about to stand up, Magnus spoke in a hoarse voice.

"huhh... Alexander?"

"Hey there sleepyhead." He leaned down and pecked him on the lips.

"Hey. When did you come?" Magnus got up and sat on the couch.

"Just now."

"Oh, I didn't hea- oh no!" He panicked and was about to get up when Alec held him and made him sit down.

"Mags, if that was about the dinner you're preparing, I turned off the stove so don't worry, your dinner is safe. You can rest more if you want."

"No, I'm good, and thank you."

"For what? Turning off the stove?" He asked, confused.

"For finally coming home early, though it's not the early I expected but still, thank you."

"Are you trying to make me feel guilty?"

"Are you feeling guilty?"

Alec rolled his eyes. "Magnus, shut it!"

Magnus laughed a little and pulled Alec towards him making both of them fall on the couch, he then got on top of Alec and locked their lips. They pulled apart when they felt the need to breathe. He then rested his head on his Shadowhunter's chest.

"Magnus, love, not right now. We've got dinner to plan, right?"

"Ugh! Can't I cuddle my husband for a few minutes?"

"Magnus!"

"Ugh! Fine! You go get freshen up while I prepare the dinner."

____________________________________

*Time Skip- After dinner*

They both had their dinner and were cuddled on the couch watching Magnus' favorite movie. Alec was sitting and had his legs rested on the table while Magnus was laying down, his head rested on Alec's lap with a blanket covering him, Alec's fingers running through his hair and stroking it gently.

Alec was stroking his Warlock's hair, tangling it in his fingers then untangling it, stroking it then repeating the process again and again absentmindedly as his focus was on how to tell him about leaving for New York.

Magnus noticed this and looked up at his shadowhunter. "Is there something bothering you, Alexander?"

"Huh!? What?" Alec looked down at him.

"Is there something bothering you? You're nervous."

"I'm not nervous, Magnus."

"Alexander, I know your nervous tics, you always do that with my hair whenever you're nervous. What is it?"

"No, I don't, Magnus."

"Yes you do, now say it!"

Alec sighed, he knew he couldn't keep ignoring it and burst it on him at the eleventh hour. "I don't want to ruin our moment, but, can you please sit up? I need to talk to you."

This made Magnus worried, and he got up, paused the movie, and sat there facing his husband. "What's wrong?"

"Magnus, I... I need to leave for New York for a few days."

"What? But why so suddenly?"

"I didn't want to bring it up, but the demon attack that happened a month ago resulting in almost a war... " He trailed off and searched his Warlock's eyes for any sign of distress.

Magnus gulped nervously at the mention of that but composed himself and looked at his Shadowhunter. "What about that?"

"You're aware that it wasn't just in Alicante, it was all around the globe, but Alicante was the main target, destroying almost everything. The Clave made new rules and tightened their hold on the working ways of shadowhunters. They are still working on the new rules." He paused for a moment and looked at him in the eyes.

"I'm not getting it, how is it related?"

"There was a similar attack in New York a few days ago, it was taken care of, but the Clave wants to know how did it happen since every measure was taken and even wards were made stronger. So, they want someone from Clave to go there and inquire about it, and since I'm an Ex-Head of the Institute of New York they want me to go. Also, the meeting related to what was supposed to happen in Alicante has now been shifted to New York, so Cat is coming with me too as she's the new High Warlock of New York." He finished and looked at his warlock deep in the eyes.

Magnus looked at him, taking in every word he said, tears forming in the back of his eyes. The visions of that dreadful day coming in front of his eyes, he shut his eyes tightly.

Alec saw the sudden change in features of his warlock, he knew that look really well, and he knew what to do.

"Mags, hey! Look at me, I'm not going on any fieldwork, it's just a meeting. Hey, love, look at me!" He said softly while caressing his cheeks.

Magnus opened his eyes, tears were pooling on the edge of it. Alec's heart broke seeing that look on his warlocks face.

'I'm sorry, Magnus. I bought it up, but it was necessary, I didn't know what to do or say to you so Izzy and I advanced my inquiry visit and the meeting which was supposed to happen after a month as I didn't want to stress you, but I didn't have the option, I'm sorry love, I wish I can tell you that I'm actually leaving to be yours forever. Inquire visits and meetings are just excuses.' Alec thought.

"Mags, hey, I know what's scaring you, but please, don't think about it. I'm going to be at the institute the whole time and do you think any one of them will let me go on any hunts? They'll kick my ass and make me stay at the institute. You know Jace and Izzy, they won't let me. You don't have to worry about it." He cupped his Warlock's cheeks and wiped away the tears trying to escape from his eyes with the help of his thumbs.

"I'm sorry, I just... that day..."

"Mags..." He said softly.

"Do you promise you won't go on any missions? I know that's your job... but... I just ca-"

"Magnus, I promise, I won't. Just stop crying now, I can't see you like this." 'That's not what I'm going for anyways.' he added in his mind.

Magnus gave him a dull smile, still not completely recovered from the flashes of memories he just had. "When are you leaving?"

"I..." He cleared his throat. "Tomorrow morning. And since Cat is coming with me too, we thought Madzie could stay with you for the time being. If you're okay with it?"

Magnus became a little more normal at the mention of his favorite warlocks name. "Are you kidding!? Sweet pea is always welcomed here. And, by the way, when did you meet Cat?"

"Umm... this evening, before coming home. I went to her apartment to tell her about it."

"Oh, that explains it! Alexander, I'm sorry, I got really emotional for no reason. It's just that I'm not able to-"

"Magnus, I know. You don't have to explain. I didn't want to bring it up, but it was necessary. Honestly, if it hadn't been important, I would never agree on leaving. But Mags, you'll be okay for a few days without me?" He said the last part a little teasingly to lighten the mood, and that did work.

"Why wouldn't I be, instead, me and sweet pea are gonna enjoy and party without your grumpy complaints now and then!"

"Excuse me!? I'm not grumpy!"

"Says the king of grumpiness."

"I'm not grumpy, Magnus!"

"Look who's getting grumpy right no-"

Before Magnus could complete the sentence Alec locked their lips and kissed him with every emotion pooling inside him, his one hand stroking his face gently and the other on his waist holding him in place. He pulled apart after some time and looked straight into Magnus' eyes.

"Can we please live in the moment right now and not discuss that further," Alec said breathlessly.

"Couldn't agree more!"

"Wanna lay down again?" He tapped his lap.

"No, I want cuddles!" He got closer to him leaving no distance between them, lifted the Shadowhunter's hand, wrapped it around himself, and rested his head on his chest, covering them both with the blanket and resuming the movie.

Alec tightened his grip around his warlock's shoulders and smiled with relief that Magnus wasn't upset anymore. He kissed him on top of his head and resumed watching the movie.

Chapter 5

Emotions - War of Hearts

Alec was still holding his husband tightly in his arms, rubbing his back in gentle circles, kissing his neck from time to time, until his crying became sobbing, then hiccups, and finally silent sobs. They stood like that in each other's arms, which felt like an eternity.

When Alec was sure his warlock has calmed down, he gently pulled him out of his arms, then looked into his eyes that were completely red from crying. His expressions were unreadable and teardrops were resting on his cheeks.

Cupping his face, he gently removed the tears from his cheeks with the help of his thumbs. Magnus closed his eyes as his lips kept trembling. Alec leaned in and pecked on the tip where his eyelashes met the slight pink flesh of skin, a soft peck on either side. Then on the top of his closed pair of eyes, wiping away the tears running down his cheeks at the same time. He then looked at his husband's shivering lips, his eyes still closed, breathing a slight heavy. Leaning in, he gently pecked it first, brushing their soft lips together, when Magnus responded with the slight kiss, he slowly increased it, making it more passionate and full of love.

He pulled away after some time, glancing at Magnus's tear-soaked face with his concern filled eyes.

"Mags! Are you alright now?" he asked, his tone soft with a hint of worry.

Magnus just nodded a little, not wanting to say his thoughts out loud anymore. 'What was I going to do, I can't do this, to him, to us. but... these emotions are so overwhelming, how am I supposed to talk to you, Alexander? It's hurting, and I don't even know how to begin and with what I was thinking of doing, No! I can't! I can't say it to you, I better keep it to myself, no matter how hurting it is.'

"Hey, Mags?" Alec put a finger under his chin and tilted his face upwards.

"I'm fine, Alexander. I just got scared a little, you promised you won't miss the dinner, so when it started getting late," he gulped, "I panicked."

"I'm really sorry, Magnus, it won't happen again." He said and kissed the tip of his husband's nose, making it crinkle and a light smile appeared on Magnus's lips.

"So, are we still having dinner? Aaaand am I sleeping on the couch?" Alec asked while scratching the back of his neck.

"Yes, we're still having dinner, but for you- cold; and yes you're sleeping on the couch, but only for a few hours, but if you decide to sleep the whole ni-"

"Okay, okay, I get it! I'm screwed!"

Magnus laughed hard at this, "Indeed you are, Alexander Lightwood Bane!" then kissed his cheek.

Alec did his epic eye roll and sighed but there was a light smile on his face because his husband was finally laughing. "Can we please have dinner, I'm starving!"

"Sure thing!" Magnus said and they walked towards their dining hall.

Alec thought Magnus was kidding, but he actually ended up eating the dinner cold and sleeping on the couch.

"Only for a few hours, but if you didn't wake up; not my fault." He said taking the bouquet from the couch and handling him a pillow and a blanket.

Alec sighed then kissed Magnus' cheeks before settling on the couch. "Goodnight love!"

"Goodnight, darling!" Magnus kissed his forehead then left for the bedroom.

When Magnus was out of sight, Alec took out his phone and texted Isabelle.

Izzy, need help. -Alec

He waited for her reply while getting comfortable on the couch which wasn't long.

What happened? Is everything alright? -Iz

Yeah, well, if Magnus asks you anything about our meeting tonight please cover it up for me, I came home late and told him I was with you. -Alec

Well, I won't until you tell me why you lied to him? Where were you? And what you were doing? -Iz

Isabelle! It's our anniversary in six days. -Alec

Oh! Oh my god! Oh my god! You're planning a surprise? DETAILS! NOW! -Iz

Fine Izzy! But not over text, let's meet up tomorrow. I'll tell you everything. -Alec

Okay, big brother! I have a meeting tomorrow, so let's meet up for lunch, and you're paying. Goodnight. -Iz

Fine Izzy! Goodnight. -Alec

Alec kept the phone aside and sighed. He knew he couldn't hide from his sister, and maybe she could help him with the surprise. 'Some things never change' he thought then closed his eyes and fell asleep instantly.

***************

Everything around him was burning, the buildings were on fire and the smoke was intoxicating the environment. Several buildings were shattered on the ground, many were on fire, the wards were broken and a huge fiery red rift was wide open in the sky from where the demon's kept coming.

He produced a big red ball of energy and shot it towards the demons who lunged upon them. He was getting exhausted, his magic was draining fast, but he had to keep fighting.

"Magnus! You keep fighting here, I'll go inside and check if-" Alec dodged the claws of a shax demon and shot an arrow towards it, shattering it into flames."If there's help needed inside."

"No, you're not!" He shot a red fireball towards the demon who was about to attack Alec. "We decided not to get separated, I'm coming with you!"

"There's no time to argue, Magnus! I'm going inside!"

"Alexa-" before he could complete, Alec already left, making him sigh out of frustration.

"What am I going to do about your stubborn ass, Alexander!" He shot a big red fireball towards the group of demons flying towards him, vanishing them back to where they belonged, then left in the direction of Alec's.

As he ran towards the Gard, he noticed that Alec was fighting a dozen demons outside the huge entrance. He was surrounded by them, dodging and shooting arrows, but in vain. They kept coming, piercing his shoulders, arms, his whole body; he was drenched in his own blood mixed with demon ichor, but he kept fighting with all the strength he had left in him.

Magnus kept running, but before he could reach his husband, a Scorpio demon attacked Alec with its needle-tipped tail right above his chest, making him cry out in pain as blood gushed out through his heart.

"ALEXANDER! NO!" He produced a ball of energy and shot it towards them, dissolving them into flames, draining every bit of energy that was left inside him. Rushing towards Alec, he kept his head on his lap as the man struggled to find his breath.

"Alexander! No! No!" Tears escaped from his eyes and fell on Alec's forehead.

"Ma... Magnus... I... I'm..." He was struggling to keep his eyes open.

"Alexander! No! Please, stay with me, keep your eyes open, please!" he tried to heal, but because he had drained even the last bit of his powers, it failed. He then searched for his stele but couldn't find it either. "No!" Tears fell from his eyes uncontrollably.

"HELP!" He yelled on the top of his lungs.

"I... I'm... Sor... Sorry, Ma... Mag-" before he could complete, his eyes closed and his body went limp.

"NO! NO! ALEXANDER! WAKE UP! Wake up! Please! You can't do this to me! Please!" Magnus sobbed harder. "ALEXANDER!"

**********************

Magnus's body was drenched in sweat as he jolted awake from his sleep. Tears were falling from his eyes as he looked around for his husband, only to find the other side empty.

"ALEXANDER! NO! NO!" he frantically moved around as he kept calling for his husband. "ALEXANDER!"

............

Alec was sound asleep on the couch when a scream which sounded like his husband had him awake. Reaching out for the dagger that was hidden under the coffee table, he grabbed it and rushed towards their bedroom.

"Magnus! What happened!?" his expressions softened when he noticed that Magnus was frantically moving around and sobbing loudly. "Love...." he softly whispered, kept the dagger on the table, and walked towards the bed.

"Alexander! I... I thought..." Magnus trailed off as another painful sob escaped from his throat.

The bed dipped as Alec sat beside his husband and rested his hand over his thigh, giving it a light squeeze. The sweat-drenched night robe and bloodshot eyes clearly spoke that he had the nightmare of that day again. Leaning in, he kissed him on top of his head, but Magnus wrapped him in a tight hug instead, silently sobbing on his shoulder.

"Shh... it's okay, it's okay, I'm right here, Magnus. I'm right here." he kept rubbing his back in gentle circles until Magnus backed off then wiped his tears softly with the pad of his thumbs.

"I'm fine now, Alexander. Don't worry."

"Don't worry? How can I not worry about you, Magnus!"

Magnus couldn't help but feel guilty about everything, about his stupid emotions, the battle between his heart and brain. He grabbed him and kissed him longingly, full of passion and love. Alec gave in, letting his Warlock settle his emotions. When they pulled apart, they both had tears pooling at the edge of their eyes.

"I should get back to sleep," Alec said and was about to stand when Magnus held his arms tightly, not wanting to let go.

"Stay with me, Alexander!"

Alec smiled and nodded, kissing him on his forehead. He hopped on his side, laid on the bed, and held Magnus in his arms, cuddling him and gently stroking his soft hair.

Magnus buried his head in Alec's chest, finding comfort in his warmth, while Alec kept stroking his hair, making him comfortable.

Alec felt Magnus relaxing in his arms and kissed him on top of his head. "I love you, Alexander." He heard Magnus mumbling to him.

"I love you too, Magnus." 'Forever' He added in his mind and not long after that, they both fell asleep in each other's arms, feeling safe and contended.
