"Magnus?" Alec called through the house of blaring music and the smell of alchol that filled the air.

"What do you want Alexander." Magnus snapped pausing the music and standing up to see the tall dark haired boy standing in the doorway. He looked to be holding something but Magnus couldn't tell, he was curious but held his curiosity in making sure to look angry.

"Um..." Alec stuttered at the sight of the warlock. His eyes, yellow and glowing, he had no shirt, and he looked a mix of angry and sad. Alec had never seen him like this, Magnus was always happy, he always had a drink so that wasn't unusual but he was always so put together, glitter, perfect hair, and eyeliner. Now, now he could see where he was crying. Alec cleared his voice "Magnus.." Alec started being cut off.

"No. You can't do this! You can't come here and apologize, not now Alexander." Magnus snapped harshly with a slight crack in his voice.

"Morning." Alec said smiling as he woke up beside Magnus who was already awake and just laying down, enjoying the moment.

"Morning." Magunus smiled back kissing Alec softly. Alec smiled coming pulling away from the kiss and checking the time.

"Oh. I'm sorry, I have to get to the Institute, Jace needs me. They said..." Magnus quickly stopped him with a short kiss.

"Just go Alexander, I'll be here. Be careful." Magnus said giving him a slight smile and getting up to leave the room.

"I will..." The dark haired man said still on the bed where his boyfriend had left him.

Alec P.O.V

Why is Magnus acting like this, sure I've had to work more, being head of the Institute but I didn't think he minded. I don't want to leave him unexpectedly all the time, but it's my job.

Alec got out of bed and got dressed. He fixed his messy hair and walked to the kitchen, he entered the room to Magnus already drinking, the warlock handed him a usual normal coffee. This is how it had been the last couple months, ever since I became head of the Institute. We woke up with the usual morning small talk a kiss and me walking into the kitchen to see Magnus with a drink and coffee ready for me, then I left to work. I gave him a kiss and said bye and left.

Magnus P.O.V

Everyday, he leaves, he doesn't say "I love you" anymore, he just leaves. I love him so much, but ever since he becae head of the Institute he's been gone, a lot. He leaves all the time so unexpectedly, like during dates or if it's where we just want to hang out at home. He's always gone. I have changed for him, I've given so much up for him and the stupid Institute. I mean I have nothing against the Institute, it's just they have made so many people... well, warlocks and vampires, give up so much for them. We always have to open portals, find people, and such when we don't really even get anything out of it.

"It's gonna work out. It always does. I've been on earth way to long not to know that" Magnus sighed to himself and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
