Chapter 3: I love you
As I lay there on the ground, visions and memories swam in and out of my mind like race cars on a track. One of them caught me by surprise, it was a warm smile adorned with gold and green cat eyes that held love and warmth. I wish I could've seen him, one last time I thought as the demon came at me again. I didn't fight back like my last few attempts, I should've come to Magnus's party armed, but I guess I was too caught up in the thought of losing him to remember. I wonder if he will miss me when I'm gone, when will he find out? If I survive this though, Jace is gonna kill me! I was pulled out of my revere when sparks of black charged themselves at the demon. I opened my eyes a little more to see clearly. The scene in front of me took my breath away, there were two figures in the cemetery besides myself and the demon. One of them had a black tail and multicolored hair, the other, of which was running towards me, had a crown of spiky hair on top of his had with a load of glitter. Magnus.
"Alexander!" everything around me was dulling and fading as I lost more and more blood. Soon a thin, lean, and muscular figure appeared above me. I blinked and looked into his eyes but I couldn't, there was rain pouring down onto my face and I was about to look away when I realized, this is too warm to be rain stupid! And I was right, for when I looked closer at Magnus's face I could see the tears falling as if they were rain.
"Oh Alec baby I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" I could see his hands searching my body for the injury that the demon had inflicted upon me.
"C'mon Alec honey say something! Please! Tell me where you're hurt!" he cupped my face and brought his forehead down to meet my own. In the background I could hear the snap and crackle coming from the other figure.
"…ribs….gash…..arm…" I could barely breathe as I spoke. Magnus nodded and looked at my arms, sure enough, there was a big gash in both of them and when he lifted up my shirt, I could see the bruised skin where the broken ribs were.
"Magnus…." I spoke my last word but as I drifted into a soundless sleep, the last words that I heard were these; I love you Alexander.
I woke up in the infirmary of the institute with my head on Alec's recovery bed. After Alec had passed out I had thought I had lost him but I didn't accept it as the truth, only a possibility. So I used all the energy I could muster and I had set to work on the quickly paling boy. He had three broken ribs and his left arm was broken along with the gashes in both arms. Why did these kinds of thing always have to happen to Alec? Why not Jace, Izzy, Clary, or even Simon?! Preferably Simon. But as I lifted my head to look at Alec, I forgot everything.
His face, which was turned towards me, was so peaceful and his skin was returning to its original pale color. There was a slight smile on his lips and I could see his eyes moving under his eye lids. Suddenly his lips started to move and they formed six letters that made my heart skip a beat, S. I covered my mouth as tears of joy streaked my cheeks. I dropped my hand and smiled as I stroked his cheek and he leaned into the touch.
I looked around, hoping no one was watching when I noticed the silver tray on the table next to Alec's bed. On it was a cup of coffee, two pancakes, and some scrambled eggs with a note. The note read; thank you so much Magnus for saving my parabatai's ass. I will have a little chat with him when he gets up about not carrying weapons or even a stele at night!
-Jace Herondale
Oh and just so you know, Clary made the food not Izzy so you don't have to worry about dying of food poisoning today! I laughed and looked at the food. I could tell Izzy hadn't made the food since it wasn't burnt and it smelled decent and not like rotting flesh. I took a bite of the eggs and I sighed, I wasn't sure I could trust Jace but at least he wasn't joking when he said it was from Clary.
Just as I set the food down and began to look off into the distance, something grabbed my sleeve and tugged lightly. I jumped, not expecting any movement but my own. When I looked to my left I was met with the beautiful blue eyes that I had fallen in love with.
"Alec!" I squealed as I grabbed his hand and pressed it to my cheek while turning back towards the bed.
"Hey Magnus. I'm really sorry about the demon and stuff. Are you hurt? Did you get hurt?" awwwwww how cute! He's asking if I'm hurt when really he should be worrying about his own state.
"Yes I'm fine don't worry about me, you should get some rest." I said, stroking his hair out of his face so I could see all of his gorgeous features.
"No, I'm not tired. Besides, you're here so I don't want to go to sleep. I don't want to leave you."
"And I don't want to leave you either Alec but, you need your rest to get better! You lost a lot of blood in that cemetery!"
"Screw that! I only care about you Magnus," he said, reaching up and stroking my face and running his thumb over my cheek.
"I'm going to get you to sleep whether you like it or not."
"Make me"
"How much have you been hanging out with Jace?"
"he's my parabatai, what do you expect?" at this, I snorted as I stood up and pulled back the covers to Alec's bed and slid in nest to him, wrapping my arms around his strongly built frame.
"So this is how you're gonna get me to go to sleep huh?"
"Yup, now shut up and close your eyes, I'm not going to leave you until you're sick of me I promise."
"That might be a while are you ready for that wait?"
"Alec, I will give you forever."
"And I will love you after I die," and he sealed the promise with a kiss that was warm, tender, and long. We stayed like that for a while with our lips locked until Alec slid his tongue over my lips but got impatient and instead just pushed their way through. I gasped and he smiled against my mouth as our tongues met and collided, pushing, shoving, and thrusting at one another until we had to break for air.
"I love you Magnus," Alec whispered, resting his head on my collarbone and wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I love you too Alec," and with that, I kissed the top of his head and closed my own eyes, letting my body get the sleep it deserved.
I walked into the infirmary with some water and bandages for Alec just in case he woke up. But when I reached his bed, I saw that there was no need for that and if I woke him up, Alec would kill me despite the fact that we're parabatai. Alec was engulfed in Magnus's arms under the covers of the infirmary's bed. I smiled. Thank god they got back together! I put the water down on the table along with the bandages. I almost jumped when I felt two arms wrap around my waist.
"Clary what are you doing up?"
"I missed you stupid."
"And how did you know I'd be in the infirmary?"
"Alec you dummy," at this she looked over my shoulder to see Magnus and Alec sleeping.
"YES!"
"What?"
"They finally got together again, that means Alec won't be drunk anymore!"
"Yeah, I'm just happy for him."
"Yeah me too babe, now let's go back to our room in case they wake up."
"Kay," and with that we walked away, hand in hand, to our room with a new happiness in our hearts.
I opened up my eyes and sighed, I has been a long time since I have woken up in these arms. I have missed his waking up face so much! I love how his eyes look when he opens then and they try to adjust to the light but it's too bright or too early for him! So cute! Just at the thought of his waking face, the cat eyes that make my heart dance came out and squinted into the dull lighting of the infirmary.
"Hey babe," my voice made a harsh raspy sound as I spoke, probably from lack of water.
"Hey how do you feel?"
"Good I just need some water," Magnus sat up slowly and looked around, grabbing a glass of water on the side table next to some bandages.
"Here, by the way, watch out for Jace."
"Why?"
"He left the food and coffee with a note that said that you should be prepared for a talk about carrying weapons or something." I laughed slightly.
"It sounds like he picked up one of MY habits,"
"Which one?"
"The lecturing one."
"Oh….. I'm so sorry Alec I should have been there-"
"How would you have known? Anyway how did you find out?"
"Brook."
"I thought she was at the party though."
"Yeah but she went looking for her boyfriend."
"Oh….does this mean we're back together?"
"If you'll take me back I'd be honored. Also I'm really sorry for being an ass when we broke up, I should've listened to you."
"First of all, yes I will take you back. And second, you weren't being and ass, you just have a really nice one. Also you had a good reason to be mad at me."
"Thanks?"
"You're welcome!"
"You are-"he was cut off from lack of air as I pressed my lips to his and slid my hand from his and onto his hip. He sighed and pulled me closer and under him. My body and mind were screaming for his as he slipped his warm hand up my back and down again as he deepened the kiss as we battled for dominance with our tongues. I slid my hands under the waistband of his pants and boxers. He gasped into my mouth as I grabbed his hipbones and rubbed small circles on them. He pulled off my shirt and started kissing my neck, then my collar bone. I laughed and pushed at his head to move, he knew that my collarbone is very sensitive! I slipped my hands out of his pants and I could feel him pout against my chest until I gripped the hem of his shirt and dragged it up and over his head. He smiled down at me.
"Alexander, you know I love where this is going but…."
"But…?"
"But we're in the infirmary and anyone could walk in and see us so we should either take it to my apartment or your room."
"UGH! But I don't wanna move!" I whined as my face made a pout and my arms came to cross in front of my chest. Magnus sat up in my lap, his legs straddled to either side of my waist and his hand trailing down my side sending goose bumps all up and down my body.
"You're gonna have to move sooner or later Alec."
"Unnnnnnnnnn fine! Let's go to your place incase this gets loud."
"Oh so this is where it's going hmm?" he said lifting an eyebrow and putting on a seductive smirk to go along with it.
"Uhhhh yeah?"
"Kay!" he said swinging off the bed and then swooping in and pulling me into his arms bridal style. I let out a small squeak as he bent down, with me still in his arms might I remind you, and picked up our shirts. We left the infirmary and through a portal in the back of the institute to Magnus's room to do our need business.
You guys are gonna hate but I'm stopping here and I'm very sorry for the wait I had a lot of tests this week and more to come. Also I'm going away for the weekend but I'll be back on Sunday so don't worry though it might take a while to get the next chapter up. Don't hate me! Bye!
