His torn up skin was closing. Color was returning to his face. His broken bones seemed to set themselves.
And then…
…Gasp…
Magnus shot upright with a large intake of breath, eyes wide and chest heaving.
Alec just sat there in shock, unable to comprehend loosing and getting back the love of his life within 5 minutes of each other.
It seemed like an eternity before he spoke.
"…Magnus?"
…Gasp…
Magnus's eyes franticly found blue eyes, red from crying.
And they stared. Neither said anything to the other. Words seemed pointless.
So they stared.
Those around them could be heard vaguely. Muffled, as if underwater.
"Who the hell is she?" Izzy harshly demanded under her breathe to Jace and Clary.
Pulling Clary to his chest Jace spoke, "Does it really matter? She saved Magnus and she seems to know him."
"She called him baby! What if they were together, huh? What will that do to Alec? Sorry Bro, you got your boyfriend back but hey he owes her now so they are gonna get back together."
"Iz, I think that's getting a little ahead of the situation."
"No its not!"
Their conversation hardly seemed prevalent to Alec. He just slowly took his hand and placed it on Magnus's cheek, stroking him softly.
Magnus leaned into the touch. Closing his eyes as tears began to form and spill down his face.
Then suddenly they were wrapped up in each other, clinging desperately.
"I'm sorry" Magnus whispered into Alec's shoulder.
"It's okay… It's okay Magnus. You're back. You're with me. That's all that matters."
Alec's hands were all over Magnus as though ensuring he was still there. Up and down his arms, back, chest. Running through his hair and stroking his cheek.
After a few minutes Magnus seemed to notice the presence of others around them. Slowly Turing around to face his savior he spoke.
"Thank you."
The girl smiled gently and stroked his cheek as Alec had earlier.
"Always baby"
Magnus did not object, just looked up at her violet eyes for a while. Then, just as gradually as before he turned back to Alec.
The pair curled back into the bed. Alec resting on Magnus's chest, ensuring his heart kept beating. And there they stayed till the next morning.
