"Magnus, I'm leaving now!" Asmodeus shouted through the small apartment and Magnus hurried to his father. "Do you really have to stay away for two whole weeks?" Magnus asked a little upset because he didn't want his dad to go away for such a long time and If Magnus feared something more than deep water it was being left alone. Asmoudes sighed and wrapped his arms around his son hugging him tightly. "I'll be back don't worry. You will be fine and when I get back we will do something fun, alright?" Asmodeus asked his heart heavy and Magnus nodded hugging his dad who had to leave for a meeting. "Sounds great. You should go now or you'll miss your flight." Magnus replied pulling back from the hug and Asmodeus smiled at him. "You're mother would be proud of you. I love you and don't burn the house down while I'm away." Asmodeus teased a little bit and suddenly Magnus got the feeling this goodbye was for much longer than just two weeks but why would it be? His dad simply had to leave for a nurse meeting in south Carolina and he'd be back. "Love you too and I will eat take out don't worry." Magnus chuckled before he said his last goodbye to his dad and then he was alone. Asmodeus walked through the door and he mumbled quietly under his breath his goodbye to his son that he didn't know if he'd ever see again.

Magnus had just entered his room when the sound of his phone echoed through his ears. He hurried to it and picked the new smartphone up that he gotten from Master Michael. At first Magnus felt weird for accepting such an expensive gift but most of the subs got stuff like that too so he just tried to enjoy it. He unlocked his phone being greeted with a new message from his Master. <Grayson will pick you up in 10 minutes. Be ready and don't be late.> Magnus had an odd feeling in his gut about the message but he shook it off and quickly got ready. The drive to Michael’s apartment was quiet as usual but Magnus rubbed his thighs being more nervous than normal. "You're alright, buddy?" Grayson asked with a light smile and Magnus nodded even his nerves were shaking through him. Since the kiss with Alec he felt like he was walking on eggshells with Master Michale. He knew that their relationship wasn't romantic and that it was just a contract to help Magnus get used to the lifestyle but the first and most important rule of the contract was honesty. "Here we are... you know how to let yourself in. See you tomorrow." Grayson said not bothering to get out of the car and Magnus mumbled his goodbye as he left the car. It was a weird day. First his dad left and now he stood in front of his Masters home with an uneasy feeling deep in his gut. Magnus knocked at the white wooden door and only seconds later he heard foot steps coming closer. "You're punctual. Great, follow me please." Michael replied his voice deep, rough and... cold. Magnus was confused when there wasn't even a hello but didn't hesitate to obey his Master. "What’s going on?" Magnus asked as they entered Michael's home office and Michael only gestured for Magnus to sit down on his office chair. "You have been acting very strange the last week and when I asked you if there was anything you should tell me you repeatedly said no. Can you tell me the first rule of our contract?" Michael asked crossing his arms over his chest and Magnus heart stopped. "Can you tell me what it is?" Michael raised his voice after he didn't get an answer for a few moments and Magnus flinched. "Honesty... Master." Magnus replied his hands shaking and a lump deep in his throat. "How disappointing. I was hoping that you had forgotten because that would be the only reasonable explanation but seems you were just stupid. Can you explain this to me, Pet?" Michael asked anger clearly dominating his voice and Magnus felt immediately very uncomfortable. He looked at the screen of the white apple computer and gasped when he saw him and Alec making out. "I... uh... this. I can explain!" Magnus shrieked but as he wanted to get up two strong hands grabbed his shoulder and  pushed him down forcing him back into his seat. He could feel Master Michael's warm breath brushing over his ear and Magnus could hear his own heartbeat thudding throughout his entire body. "You want him so bad don't you? You really think you could ever handle his madness? Let's find out." Master Michael snapped pulling Magnus out of his seat and dragging him to the room they only had been once. By now Magnus knew his gut was right.

Alec was in his kitchen preparing dinner for himself and listening to his favorite playlist. He did everything to distract himself and tried to forget about the nights two weeks ago but he couldn't get it out of his head. The scary thing was he could forget about Devon getting shot but not about Magnus kissing him. Just when Alec wanted to put the ground beef in the pan his door bell rang and Alec sighed annoyed. A groan left his lips when only seconds later the bell rang for a second time and he dropped  the spatula. "I'm coming, okay?!" Alec shouted annoyed as he ripped the door open and his eyes widened. He looked at the person in front of him and a cold shiver ran down his spine. "Magnus?" Alec asked clearly seeing who it was in front of him and his eyes ran up and down Magnus body in shock. Alec was stricken when he saw what state Magnus was in. He wore a shirt, he didn't wear shoes or socks. He wore jeans and a shirt that was all. In the middle of October and he looked like he had been crying, his eyes so red. "I'm so..." Magnus winced as he lost balance and stumbled forward almost hitting the ground but two strong arms caught him... the two strong arms that would always catch him...//tbc
