Cat takes another sip, her eyes gazing over Magnus. "He's a handful. But he has a good heart. He helps everyone. It's not right. Every time he thought he found love, they pushed him away." Cat muttered. Alec's heart tightens at the thought of someone pushing Magnus Bane, high warlock of Brooklyn, amazing body, face, and assets (Ehrm) away. It just didn't seem logical.

"Look. I know it might seem like Magnus has no family, but I consider myself his best friend and his sister. We're a family. So if you ever hurt him." She says trembling. Alec smiled.

"I'd never. I promise on the angel that I'll keep him out of danger." Catarina shakes her head. "You're something different Alec Lightwood." She closed her eyes. Alec drifted off, not realizing how tired he really was.

In the morning, he woke up hastily. Magnus still laid on the couch but Cat was gone. He looked at the clock. 9:45 am.

"By the Angel." He muttered frantically. He found a slip of paper. Hello Alexander. I'm writing this because I thought you would be worried. I gave Magnus the potion, he should wake up in a bit. I had a meeting in the morning and I didn't want to wake you up. Regards, Catarina Loss.

Alec shook his head lightly and laughed. He glanced over to a stirring Magnus. His eyes were unglamoured. "What happened?" He muttered, rubbing his head. Alec laughs and runs quickly over, swooping Magnus in a bone-crushing hug. He didn't say anything, actually, he couldn't.

His throat was hoarse and he just burrows his head in Magnus's shoulder. "Alexander what the hell." Magnus whispered as he felt his shoulder getting slightly wet. Alec pulls away and realized that he was crying. "Oh I'm sorry was that a new shirt?" Alec said between sobs.

Magnus looks concerned as he cups his hands and wipes the tears. "Forget about the stupid shirt, why are you crying?" Magnus asked gently. Alec laughed and sniffled, rubbing his eyes. "Y...You don't remember anything?" Alec asked softly. Magnus shakes his head. "Can I?" Magnus reached out and touched the back of Alec's neck.

Alec nods as Magnus watched everything that had happened. Magnus pulls back quickly. "Oh no, I'm so sorry oh god." Magnus was trembling. Alec shakes his head. "Stop it Angel." Alec says softly, kissing Magnus's forehead. Magnus relaxed at Alec's reaction. "You're not mad?"

Magnus was crying now too, rubbing the tears as they fell. Alec shakes his head. "Never. I could never be mad at you." Alec smiled. They shared a soft, gentle kiss. "I love you." Magnus murmured almost absentmindedly. It was like it just came naturally now. He didn't have to think about it.

"I love you too Angel." Alec said grinning and squeezing Magnus. Magnus raised his head to look up at Alec. "I always wondered why you called me that." Magnus questions. "I'm the son of a greater demon and yet you call me an angel?" Magnus smiles. Alec blushed. "Uh, if I tell you, promise you won't laugh?" Alec asked hesitantly. Magnus furrowed his brows.

"Alexander, I won't." Magnus says. Alec shuffled awkwardly. "Uh, when I was little, my mom said that there was an angel to look after every Shadowhunter. A person who would protect them in every battle, during hard times and good times. And I just thought well Magnus Bane you're my Angel."

Alec looked shyly back at Magnus, waiting for the laughter to set in at his ridiculous little belief. But it never did. Magnus's face was tinged red like he had been blushing. Tears streamed across his gorgeous face as he whimpered softly and leaned into Alec's chest, not saying a word.

Alec looked surprised, but he wrapped his arms around the other man and kissed his hair. Magnus stepped back, breathing heavily. Magnus was about to do something he had wanted to do, for a long time. He looked at Alec, his eyes glistening.
