Alec's POV
Magnus had been gone for hours. He left at 11 AM, and now it's 10:48 PM. He didn't say where he was going, he just said that he would be back soon; but soon was over a long time ago. I was sitting on the couch in the dark waiting for another half-hour before the door to the loft opened and Magnus silently walked in. As if not to wake me I assume. As he was walking toward the bedroom I called out f m the pitch black of the living room.
"Where have you been?" I asked with an even voice but still startled him. He called out my name once before turning on the lights and looking around until his eyes rested on my figure.
"Alexander, I thought you would be asleep by now," Magnus answered surprised. He moved to the front of the couch by now.
"Yeah well I thought you would have been home hours ago, where have you been?" I said a second time but I couldn't hide the icy tone in my voice. Of course, Magnus picked up on it immediately.
"Alec, what's wrong?" Magnus asked and ignored my question. This time I couldn't keep my temper in check.
"Take a guess, You left this morning and said you'd be back soon then you return almost 12 hours later. And you still haven't told me where you went and I didn't get even one text or call Magnus. Oh, and you do this constantly," I said with a raised voice and anger in my tone. I had stood up by now and was glaring at Magnus, who seemed to return the look.
"Well I'm sorry that I'm late, but things got a little out of hand," Magnus responded with a bitter tone.
"What things?! I asked you twice where you have been and you brushed them aside both times. Where have you been?" I asked the last part slowly, almost like a threat.
"I wish I could tell you, but it's classified" Magnus growled.
"Well maybe if you had I wouldn't have sat around for 9:30 hours worrying my ass off," I spat, taking a step closer so that we were only a few feet apart.
"Why don't you just stop worrying about me, Alec? You know you're not going to be around forever to keep me safe, your not immortal," Magnus yelled. And my brain told me to yell back but I couldn't. I had no more anger left, only hurt and sadness. His words hit me like a punch to the gut. I stumbled backward a step, looking at Magnus but not seeing him. I heard him talk but I couldn't hear him. A hand hesitantly rested on my arm but I pulled it back sharply. I turned around and walked quickly to the bedroom and slammed the door behind me. Before rushing to the bathroom I locked the door knowing very well that being the High Warlock of Brooklyn he could open the door with a snap of his fingers. But I knew that he would get the message.
I grabbed the small duffel that I left here from the days that I use to bring some clothes over when I stayed the night and began to put the clothes I had kept here inside. Once I had cleared out the drawer that Magnus gave me to keep my stuff in I walked into the bathroom and took a shower.
