Magnus's POV- Chapter 3
"You have to, Magnus!" Eric yelled. "He can take care of himself!" I yelled.
"Magnus, you can't refuse"
"Fine!"
Using my magic, I unlocked Alec's door stepping in closing the door behind me. Alec was still asleep which wasn't surprising. I sighed and locked the door behind me. I noticed he was shivering so I tiptoed over and covered him in blankets which almost woke him. Oh, how cute he looks sleeping, I thought. This was going to be a while. I made myself comfortable sitting on the couch nearby.
A/N: This is my first time writing a dream scene so sorry if it's terrible
I was with Alec in my apartment. Usually he wakes up before me but this time it was different. I smiled kissing my lover on the cheek which made him stir. "Mags," he whispered. "Good morning, darling," I whispered. He smiled kissing me on the lips before walking himself to the kitchen. I followed and sat down on the counter. It wasn't long before pancakes and coffee was laid before me. "So what do you want to do tonight?" I asked. "Magnus, what are you doing here?" He answered.
"What?"
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Alexander-"
"Magnus, wake up! Magnus!"
"Magnus!" I woke up unexpectedly to see Alec in front of me. "Alexander!" I exclaimed. "Why the hell are you in my room?!" Alec exclaimed.
"I have to take care of you and there's nothing I can do to stop it! So sorry but you're going to have deal with it!"
"Why the hell can it not be Eric?!"
"I don't know, Alexander! Ask your mother or Eric because they're the ones who are forcing me to do this!"
"I don't need your help nor have anyone take care of me!"
"Really then how are you going to eat? How are you going to get dressed with one good hand? How are you going to change your bandages all by yourself? Give me instructions on how you're going to do all this and maybe I won't take care of you"
Alec stayed quiet knowing I had a point. I sighed before getting comfortable again. "If you're going to take care of me, why don't we get out of my bedroom?" Alec said. "What's wrong with your bedroom?!" I snapped.
"Magnus- I just don't want to be taken care of in my bedroom"
He was hiding something, I could feel it. "Fine," I snapped. With a snap of my fingers, Alec was fitted into more comfortable clothing. I opened the door heading to the living room and sat across from Alec who seated himself on the couch. It was very awkward for the both of us until he stood up and almost collapsed if I hadn't teleported myself to his side to keep him balanced. Oh how nice it was to be back in Alec's sides. "M-Magnus," Alec struggled and that moment made me notice his blush which made him blush more when he noticed me staring. "Be careful, sweetheart," I whispered causing him to blush more if that was even possible. I knew his favorite nicknames were sweetheart and darling when we dated even though he kept denying it which was hot if you asked me. Now it was kind of sad knowing I made the mistake of leaving him and knowing Alec realized his own. I sighed before helping him back on the couch sitting next to him but no so close knowing that it made us uncomfortable. "So, how do you know Eric?" I asked, breaking the silence. "It's a long story," answered Alec.
"Alexander, I've got all day. Spill"
"I can't"
"You don't have to tell me everything"
"We met through my family since he was a good friend of my mother"
"Your mother was a friend of a warlock? That's surprising"
"Did you forget that she supported our relationship? My father on the other hand-"
"Don't you dare talk to me about our relationship! Alexander, it wasn't real"
"You never cared, you never loved me!"
"Alexander-"
"I'm sorry, I just can't live without you"
I forced him to face me and I noticed his tears. Quickly, I used my thumb to wipe them away. "I can't either, sweetheart. Half of me wants to be with you and half of me is asking if I can trust you again. I'll always care for you, Alexander, remember that," I whispered. I embraced him in a hug which made him calm down a little. After a few minutes, I pulled away and kissed his forehead earning a light smile from him. "Thank you," he whispered. "Of course. If you want to stop talking about Eric, we could-" I started.
"No, I want to"
"Then what's stopping you?"
"As I was saying, since Eric was a good friend of my mom, we became really close. He became close with Izzy, Max, and Jace as well. Then after what we, I, did, we promised each other we wouldn't tell anyone the real reason we became distant"
"What happened?"
"We-"
All of a sudden, Eric walked in with sad eyes. "Alec, it's Jace, he's hurt," Eric said. Alec looked terrified and I literally had to help him walk to the infirmary which we eventually gave up so I carried him to his bedroom locking the door behind me. Carefully, I laid him on his bed. "Jace's going to be okay. I asked Eric to give me updates so you can know his condition," I reassured him. Alec nodded before I started walking back to the couch but didn't get very far if Alec hadn't took my arm. "Lay with me," he insisted. "Alec-" I started.
"I need you"
"Okay"
We laid in silence with Alec's head on my chest while I was rubbing his waist for comfort. It wasn't until morning that we woke up due to hearing the knock on his door. "Alec, Magnus, it's Izzy," said Izzy. I used my magic to open the door since I was terrified to leave Alec's side. Besides, it was still pretty clear he needed me. "How's Jace?" I asked. "He's not doing so well," Isabelle answered.
"What's happening?"
"Eric's magic isn't healing him. Alec, Jace isn't going to make it"
I turned to face Alec who was crying. "N-no," he struggled, snuggling closer getting my shirt all wet while I was rubbing more and more. "Alexander, everything's going to be fine," I whispered. "No. I can't lose Jace, not when I need him the most," he struggled.
"Alec, don't talk. It will only hurt more, trust me"
Izzy was about to say something but changed her mind and walked out closing the door behind her. I wrapped my arm around Alec's waist holding him in a more comfortable position and pulled him closer allowing his tears to stop. "Alec, I hate it when you're upset," I said, trying to joke but failed knowing it was too serious so I stopped myself. Alec smiled and brushed his hands through my hair. "Your comfort is all I need," he whispered before allowing sleep to overcome him. Sometime after, Alec woke up unexpectedly screaming waking me up as well. I tightened my grip around him while drawing circles on his back. "Alec, it wasn't real," I whispered trying to calm him down. Alec shook his head and started to cry. "Magnus, Jace is really dead. He hated me," Alec replied.
"Jace could never hate you, Alexander. You know that. He was your best friend, your parabatai, your brother"
"I just wish he could've lived longer"
"Everyday there is a death, Alexander. You can't stop death"
"But I can prevent it"
"No one wants to live forever, Alec. Everyone sees too much death. Immortality is a curse"
This calmed Alec down. We both fell asleep in each other's arms not noticing Eric watching.
