Magnus pulled Madzie to his arms. “Shh…”
“Don’t leave”, Madzie pleaded, barely comprehensible through tears. “You can’t leave me, too.”
Magnus closed his eyes. It made pretending he wasn’t crying, too, easier. “I’m not going anywhere.”
It was just the two of them, now.

“Have you ever had all the worst things you’ve thought about yourself confirmed by someone else?”
Magnus fought back a snort. “An unfortunate number of times.”
Alec scratched at his own fingers. “I need to be alone right now.”
“I’d rather not leave you alone right now.”

The infuriatingly perky woman kept talking and Izzy joined in with words of support. Jace watched Alec’s eyes and caught a change that might’ve gone unnoticed by just about anyone else. A light going out, a candle burning out, subtly and silently. It scared him, badly.

Magnus knew it was ridiculous. But the longer he’d keep his eyes closed, the longer he’d be able to..
Fingers brushed his cheek “You started trembling so I know you’re awake. Open your eyes” Magnus complied reluctantly, to find Alec’s smiling face. “See? I’m still here”

Magnus’ eyes darted around. “Everything... from before is a little fuzzy but... Did you say...” The man didn’t manage to complete the whole intended sentence “... mine...?”
Alec nodded, then realized that it couldn’t be seen. “Yes.” If only it could’ve changed something

A smile lit up Magnus’ face. “How would anyone say ‘no’ to you? I’m Magnus.”
“Alec.” The man’s blush deepened. “Just so you know... You wouldn’t need this stuff. You’re beautiful as you are. That’s why I... You know.”
“Stalked me from afar?” Magnus teased.

“I love you.”
“I love you, too”, Alec murmured back, and meant it with every cell in his body
They kissed and there was a hint of urgency to it. For some reason it felt important to embrace every chance to show their affection they got.
In case they’d run out of chances

“I won’t ever be able to give you... what normal people consider a part of a relationship. What if you get tired of me, too? What if...?”
Alec took Magnus’ face between both his large but gentle hands. “I don’t care about that part of a relationship. I care about you.”

The kiss felt heavenly. Both of them responded happily and eagerly, emitting soft noises. Until it all went wrong. Until one of them pulled back sharply and abruptly.
“What...?”
“Stop”, the other choked out, his eyes squeezed tightly closed. “Stop.”

“You have to promise me.” Their eyes locked and held, stubbornness and immense fatigue in both their gazes. “If I start to become a burden... If I start to drag you down with me... Let go. Give up.”
“Okay.”
It sounded like an empty promise. He hoped that it wasn’t one.

Magnus unleashed a sound that resembled to a growl. Alec was faster and stood protectively in front of the smaller man. “Give us some time to think. Now.” At least that was more diplomatic than snarling ‘GET OUT’.

Magnus’ jawline tightened. “No. Alec can’t ever know about it.” He was done making everything difficult for everyone.
“Are you serious? He already has trust issues. You can’t ever win his trust by keeping secrets.”

Magnus bit back a whimper upon shaking his head. “Let me go.” It was more of a plea than a demand. “You locking me up... It’d be the end of me. So let me go, please.”

/ Alec’s heart raced as the awful truth began to register properly. Those people he was supposed to be able to trust with his life... They left him behind. And as he met the eyes of the man approaching him, Alec concluded grimly that he’d never make it back home alive /

Alec’s head was full of chaos. Regret... Anger... Confusion... And a million other emotions. They warred over room until nothing made sense. Was it any wonder that he didn’t notice the faint smell of smoke?
The horse he rode noticed and within seconds Alec was falling.

“Alec has no idea?”
“Yup”, Izzy sighed. “I knew that he’s not exactly up to date but... This was a surprise.”
“We have to tell him”, Jace reasoned. “If he finds out...”
“No, we don’t. You haven’t seen how good they are for each other. We’re not going to wreck that.”

Magnus watched Alec with the man’s siblings. Izzy’s hand holding her older brother’s, Jace’s protective stance and Max’s constant babbling. Longing Magnus hadn’t experienced in a long time filled his heart.
What he would’ve given to have a family of his own go home to.

It should’ve all been over. Finally. Magnus’ legs felt weak as he took a couple of steps forward, then sought support from a wall as a wave of dizziness overcame him. Everything was bizarrely fuzzy.
“Magnus, are you okay?”
Magnus blinked sluggishly. “I... don’t know.”

The face above Alec was too blurry for him to recognize. “... with me ...”
Despite his barely conscious state Alec was too aware that his time was running out. He strained himself because he had to... Needed to... “Magnus...” Was his speech audible or comprehensible?

Alec hoped that he wasn’t making a mistake. ‘I’ll do what I can to find out the truth. But it may be an unpleasant one’
Magnus’ next messages, nearly two hours later, was full of spelling errors. ‘That’s alright, dear. I’m used to unpleasant surprises. I tend to be one’

Clary engulfed both him and Rafael to a tight hug. A part of Alec wanted to resist but he found himself melting instead. There was never a lot of hugging while he grew up. The physical comfort was new, and... nice.
“You really needed that, huh?” Clary whispered.

Every cell in Alec’s body screamed at him to follow so he took a step forward. Only for Magnus to shake his head with an unreadable expression on his face. Then the car’s door was slammed closed between them. The chance was gone.
The vehicle sped off, taking Magnus away from him.

Magnus tensed up. His already strained body and overwhelmed mind weren’t ready for this... “What do you want from me?”
Asmodeus took a step closer. “I want to help you. It sounds like I may be the only one who can.”

“I locked up all those urges and swore to myself that I’d never, ever act on anything so sick and shameful.” Alec grimaced. “Then you came along and... It’s like someone stole the lock. Something about you makes it impossible to stop... all that from filling my head, and my heart”

Alec sat down slowly, not wanting to make Magnus withdraw even more into the man’s shell. Although the other’s eyes refused to glance his way, he knew that there was keen awareness of his presence “I know how hard it is, I understand. I’ve... been where exactly where you are now”
