Malec One Shot 1
Magnus let out a cry of relief when he heard the door of his apartment shut. He immediately rushed out of his bedroom, to find a dazed Alec in the hallway. He was standing with his bow still in his hand, wearing his black gear that was now stinging with demon ichor. Cuts, smaller ones as well as bigger ones were visible on his pale skin. His usually so beautifully pale skin wasn't visible now. Alec was covered in blood from head to toe and Magnus couldn't tell if it was demon blood, his own or someone else's. But Magnus didn't care about any of it right now, the only thing he was able to think about right now was that Alec, his Alexander, was alive. He rushed to Alec's side to embrace him in a tight hug, his arms slung around Alec's neck and he pressed his body so tight to Alec's that he couldn't breathe. But Alec didn't return the hug. He didn't even let the bow fall out of his hand. When Magnus pulled backed he cupped Alec's face with his hands, looking him straight in the eyes. "I was so worried about you, the silent brother contacted me two hours ago that they were rushing to the institute because a Lightwood was heavily injured." Magnus eyes were full of tears now but he didn't let them fall down his face. "It was all my fault..." Alec muttered. "What? What was your fault?" "I'm her older brother, I'm supposed to protect her, but I failed." "Alec no, you didn't do anything wrong. And Izzy is going to be okay, I know it." Magnus was stroking Alec's cheeks but then let his hands fall. He took a step back from Alec, took the bow out of his hand and started peeling the dirty gear of his skin. "She was right in front of me... I saw her struggling and already fired an arrow at the demons heart, but he bit into her leg before dissolving into the shadows... I wasn't fast enough..." A tear fell out of Alec's eye now and Magnus looked back into his eyes. "You are shadowhunters Alec, stuff like this happens and only because you were there doesn't mean it was your fault." He wiped the tears from Alec's face with his thumb. Looking into his eyes was almost painful now because he only saw regret, pain, sadness and mourning. He pressed a featherlight kiss onto Alec's soft lips, one full of love that promised everything would get better. Alec now slipped his hands under Magnus shirt around his torso and pressed his face into Magnus neck. Magnus shivered from the cold touch on his back but hugged him back. Alec didn't say anything when He pulled away and lead him to the bathroom. He stripped Alec from his last clothing items and lead him into the shower.
When Magnus returned to the bedroom to check on his boyfriend he saw him already putting on a pajama. When he noticed Magnus standing in the room he just asked: "Do you promise she's going to be okay?" "I already contacted the silent brothers, she is going to have to rest for at least a week but yes, she's going to be okay." Without another word Alec walked towards him, grabbed his face and kissed him with all the emotions that were rattling up inside of him. Magnus grabbed the shirt Alec just put on and used it to drag Alec even closer to him than he already was. The kiss was messy, with teeth and tongues and lips clashing into each other. But it was also an intimate kiss, one that asked the other person never to leave them, one that showed desperation for the other, one that showed how much they needed each other.
