AN: Hello my lovelies! Sorry for my mini hiatus. I'm a mommy and sometimes the little noodle doesn't agree when mommy wants to write and she wants to play with me. Even as I write this she is trying to crawl on my laptop. Anyway, here's chapter 4. Hope you enjoy it! I'm off of work for the next two days so I will do my best to update as much as I can. Enjoy! I love reading feedback so feel free to send me some!
Disclaimer (since I'm a ding dong and forgot the last chapters) I am sadly not Cassie Clare and therefore I do not own the boys or anyone else. Poop.
AFTER ELEVATOR INCIDENT
Magnus, Clary and Alec all made it back to the office to finish their break. Alec sat at his desk playing a game, or texting on his phone. Clary was sketching. Magnus was typing an email to Cammie.
Cammie,
Oh my LAWD! Alexander is going to be the death of me. He is so fucking cute! That blush, that hair, and those eyes. Oh lord jesus. Sorry, anyway he told me about what happened this morning. I don't really understand why he gave your number back to you but I do know that he wasn't trying to be rude. I can promise you 100% that it wasn't because of anything you did. I will tell you the real reason but you have to swear and I mean SWEAR that you won't say anything to anyone. He is really, really sweet and he wouldn't do anything to purposely hurt anyone. He's also crazy shy if you didn't notice when you spoke with him earlier. Anyway, enough about blue eyes, you and I are still on for shopping tomorrow right? I need to get some new skinnies and I really need some new glitter. I figured we could just have a best friend day after work. I love you Cammie! Email me back before break is done.
Love,
Magnus
The email was sent off with a swoosh and Magnus sat back in his chair and waited impatiently. He was staring at Alec, who was taking his guitar out of the case and fiddling with the strings. Magnus was secretly praying that Alec started playing, but then again he was praying he didn't. Alec didn't need to think he was any more of a creep than he probably already did. Magnus' computer made a sound, pulling him out of his internal will he/won't he debate. It was Cammie. Thank God. Something to keep him occupied for the next five minutes.
Maggie,
YOU NEED TO TELL ME WHY HE REJECTED ME! I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK IT WAS ME! PLEASE MAGGIE, PLEASE? I swear I won't say anything to anyone. You know I can keep a secret, I keep plenty of yours.
;P I will say that he is freaking sexy Maggie. Don't stare at him too much. You don't want to scare him away from us. Yes we are going shopping tomorrow. I have been waiting for a best friend day for forever. We are going to get mani/pedis because my hands and feet need some crazy attention. No buts! Alec's sister just walked by and gave me the stink eye. Please help me understand what's going on. That girl is gorgeous and I want to be her friend, not have her hate me. Maggie I love you! Get back to me when you can!
Love,
Cammie
Magnus finished reading her email with a chuckle. Alec glanced at him and then quickly looked away when he saw that Magnus noticed. Magnus smirked and then sent a quick email back to Cammie telling her that Alec was gay and that's why he turned her down. He also told her about the weird thing he said about not being allowed or that he couldn't take her number for some reason. Magnus didn't understand and he really hoped that he could get to know Alec more and figure it out. After the email was sent, he logged off of his computer and led Clary and Alec through the rest of the day up until lunch. Everyone went their separate ways at lunch. Magnus went and got Cammie and they sat at their usual spot on one of the second floor balconies. The balcony overlooked the small picnic area on the sunny side of the large building. As soon as they were seated Cammie all but squealed "HE'S GAY?!" "Jesus Cam, don't tell the world" Magnus whisper yelled. "I told you, you can't say anything. The only reason he told me and Clary is because I cornered him about that look in the lobby. I don't want to scare him off. I know I've only just met him but I think he can be someone I really like. So please don't push him. Okay? Can you please do this for me?" Magnus' eyes were pleading and he sounded so worried that she was going to spill the beans on poor Alec.
"Magnus. Calm the hell down. I'm not going to say anything. I was just surprised. I didn't know he was gay. He doesn't put that vibe off to me at all" she pouted a little and then said "I'm sad he's not on my team. I would really have liked to take that one for a ride".
"Oh please Cam. Does he look like the type to just give out test drives? Thank god he isn't interested in women. You would have had your way with him and then broken his heart. He's so sweet. And adorable. Did I mention adorable" Magnus gushed.
"Don't give me that shit Maggie. You are going to do the same thing if you get the chance. Don't play like you aren't me, except without tits and add a dick. Don't forget I know you better than anyone."
"Cam, you're right. You do know me better than anyone. That being said you should know that I'm not trying to play with him. It isn't like that. I genuinely think that I could develop feelings for him." Just as Magnus got the words out they heard some talking in the picnic area. They both went quiet and peeked over the railing. There sitting in the yard were the Lightwoods. Alec was being embraced by his sister, and who Magnus was assuming was Alec's brother. The two younger Lightwood's expressions were filled with love for their older brother. Alexander's expression on the other hand looked like he was ready to cry. They all pulled apart and Alec quickly put a forced smile on his face. They all went back to eating and so did Magnus and Camille.
Magnus was getting his things ready to leave. Alec said goodbye to him and Clary and then rushed out the door. Clary looked at Magnus and smiled and then left. Magnus locked the door to their offices and started to make his way through the halls to the parking lot. As he was turning a corner by the employee bathrooms, he bumped into someone with such force he fell to the floor and smacked his head into the wall. The last thing he saw was a pair of old converse and then everything was black.
Alec was just leaving the bathroom and going to the parking lot when he collided with someone. He didn't see who it was until they had fallen to the floor. Alec heard a loud thump and then looked on with horrified eyes as Magnus' head connected with the wall and he went limp. "Oh my god" Alec said out loud as he dropped his things and rushed to the man he had just knocked to the floor.
"Magnus?" Alec said concerned. "Magnus can you hear me? Please Magnus. I'm so sorry I wasn't watching where I was going. Please be ok. Magnus" He said while trying to shake the seemingly unconscious man awake. He lifted Magnus' torso onto his lap and felt around the mans head. Wow his hear is so silky. I would love to sit and run my fingers through it all day. Shit. Now is not the time Alec. Stop thinking about his hair and find out if he's alright. He thought to himself as he felt a large bump on the left side of Magnus' head where it met the wall. Alec didn't think about it. As soon as he felt the lump he pulled out his phone and called Jace. "Jace did you leave yet? … Oh thank god... no I'm fine. Can you come to the employee bathroom. JACE I said I'm fine just get down here please. Thank you" he hung up on his brother and just cradled Magnus until a golden blonde head was in his line of vision.
"Alec what happened?" Jace asked as he looked over the two men on the floor.
"I came out of the bathroom and wasn't watching where I was going and we bumped into each other. He's taller than me but I'm heavier and he fell over and hit his head on the wall. Oh god Jace is he going to be ok. Shit now they really aren't going to want me here. Please tell me he's ok. Jace why isn't he waking up?" Alec rushed out. He stared at Jace and Magnus. Jace was checking his pulse and feeling the lump on his head.
"Alec. Relax. He'll be fine. His pulse is good and his breathing is steady. Just help me get him comfortable. He will wake up in a minute or so. You really scrambled his brains there big guy" He replied to his brother. They got Magnus' head pillowed on Alec's sweatshirt that he had taken off. They sat silently looking at Magnus for maybe thirty seconds before they heard some moaning. "He's coming around. I'm gonna had out. I have to change. I have a date you know." Jace said and he stood up and brushed off his blue scrubs. "Alec don't let him drive home. He is probably going to be a little foggy for a while. He may have a concussion so he can't sleep either. See if he has anyone to help him. Call me if you need anything big bro. I'm out" Jace said and then he was gone. Magnus was groaning more now and moving his head from side to side. He opened his eyes and was met instantly with a worried cerulean blue gaze.
"A Alec. What happened?" Magnus asked confused. His head felt like someone took an axe to it .
"I… um… came out of the bathroom and knocked you over. You hit your head on the wall as you fell. You have been unconscious for about 4 minutes now. Magnus I'm so sorry. So so sorry."
"Alec I'm ok. My head just hurts. Who was that I heard?" Magnus asked.
"That was my brother Jace. He was an EMT. When you wouldn't wake up I called him. He said you most likely have a concussion and can't drive. He also said that you can't be left alone and you can't sleep. Is there someone I can call for you?" He answered Magnus with a voice full of guilt.
Magnus seemed to think about it a minute. "No. I don't have anyone to call." He said sadly and then started getting up. "I'll be fine by myself. Don't worry about me" he finally got up and started walking. Despite all the protesting from Alec. "Magnus, let me drive you home. I don't want anything else to happen to you" he heard the blue eyed boy say. "No Alec I'm fine really. Don't worry. I can drive." Just as the words left Magnus' mouth he got dizzy and fell into Alec. "Alright Magnus you can't drive and I'm not letting you go home by yourself. So you're coming back to my apartment with me. I'll make sure nothing happens to you." Alec said. He didn't wait for a response he just scooped Magnus up and carried him to the passenger seat of his black BMW. He set Magnus down and gave him a stern look. "Stay" he said and then ran back inside to get their things. When Alec came back Magnus was sleeping against the window of the car. Alec loaded up their things and took his spot in the driver's seat. "Magnus wake up for me. You can't sleep" he said while touching the man's face gently. Magnus opened his eyes and looked drearily at Alec. "You really don't have to do this you know. I can manage on my own…" Magnus said while secretly hoping that the blue eyed man insisted. "Magnus you just fell asleep when you were left alone for five minutes. You are not going to your house alone. I'm bringing you to my apartment and that's final. Sit back enjoy the ride and don't fall asleep. Okay?" "Okay. Thank you for this Alec" Magnus said sincerely and then did as the boy said.
