Chapter 4
"I heard you recently came out. I know that might have been a hard thing to do." His voice was low. Alec's eyes narrowed. "Um. Yes. It was." Alec looked down. "The Shadowhunters were always such old schooled people. Personally, I think that we should open our horizons and live in the present. Don't you think?"
Charles slowly rubbed his thumb in circles and leaned closer. He closed his eyes and was in for a kiss. Alec's eyes widen. He pushed him away gently. "Er...I'm sorry...I don't...I have a boyfriend." Alec tried not to sound angry, as he needed Charles to help him with his mission to execute Valentine. Charles moved back, surprised.
"Oh...oh my god...I'm so sorry... I didn't know!" Charles looked mortified as he backed away quickly. He looked at Alec sadly. "Who's the lucky man?" Charles asked, crossing his arms. Honestly, Alec didn't want to keep talking to Charles. The man had just tried to kiss him. But Alec forced a smile.
"Magnus Bane, the High Warlock of Brooklyn." Alec said proudly. Charles looked amused. "Oh?" Charles looked surprised. He looked like he wanted to say something but he was too stunned. "I'm sorry I didn't know." He quickly exited the room. Alec was frozen for a bit, but he quickly took his files and went outside.
He felt a bit weird. Magnus was the only person he had kissed. Ever. And now even the thought of another man's lips on his...yikes. That was too close. Should he tell Magnus? Maybe not. Alec shook his head. He needs to tell him. He knew from past experience that hiding things from his boyfriend never ended well.
"I WAS TRYING TO HELP!" He heard Magnus's voice screaming down the hall. Alec sprinted over to see what was happening. An injured Shadowhunter layed on the floor, and Jia was glaring at Magnus. "Are you ok?" Alec asked quickly, scanning his boyfriend quickly. "I am, but he's not...I can help!"
Magnus whispered frantically. Jia closed her eyes, looking disgusted. "Mr.Bane here was trying to touch my son." Magnus looked at her incredulously. "I was healing him." He spoke with a deadly calm voice. Jia scoffed. "I would never let some dirty Downworlder try to heal him. He needs an iratze. He'll be fine Bane." Jia spoke rudely.
Magnus looked like someone punched him in the face. Alec clasped on to his arm. "That will be enough Miss Penhallow. Magnus was trying to help." Alec tried to stay calm. The last thing he needed was another fight. "You don't know that. For all we know, Mr. Bane could have been trying to kill him. After all, he does have a rocky history with m-." She seethed. Magnus looked broken.
