Magnus POV

"Right Alexander Lightwood, there is something you need to understand, alright? We're bonded, you understand what that means don't you?" Magnus demanded angrily, gesturing wildly, pacing back and forth. Now that they were alone, he could finally let lose.

"Yes, it means we're like one person, that we're inseperable."

"It means that we're mates. And mates, don't. Lie. To. Each other. So tell me, Alexander Lightwood," He sneered, "who the hell are you?"

Alec flinched at his harsh tone, watching Magnus pace but looking away when Magnus finally tried to make eye-contact.

Alec took a deep breath. "My name is Alexander Lightwood, I am the only biological son of Robert and Maryse Lightwood, I have two brothers, Jem Carstairs and Will Solace, and I am hopelessly in love with you Magnus Bane." Alec implored, finally meeting Magnus' eyes, begging him to listen.

Magnus stared at him coldly.

"Who. Are. You? I don't know who you are Alec. You haven't told me anything. I don't know anything about your past, about who you are, about those little habits you have or the things that worry you or-"

"For the angel's sake Magnus, what does it matter?" Alec shouted, jumping up from where he was sitting, and bawling his hands up into fists in frustration.

"Because I love you. Or I think I do, but how can I love someone I barely know?" Magnus asked softly. Alec buried his face in his hands.

"Magnus..." He started, but Magnus interrupted.

"No, don't 'Magnus' me! Give me the truth Alec! Who are you? Why can't I know even the slightest detail about you? I just don't understand."

"Because I'm dangerous!" Alec said angrily, feeling himself spiralling out of control. "Because if you knew what I was, you wouldn't love me like you do. I'm a monster Magnus, I'm messed up. There's no one like me-"

"Damn right there's no one like you." Interrupted Magnus but Alec ignored him.

"There's no one like me and I can't control who I am and one day I'm going to hurt you, I know I am and there's nothing I can do to stop myself, and I'm terrified that you'll push me away, that you'll be scared of me and-" As Alec spoke, all around him the air stilled, leaves spinning around him in spirals. The glass of the windows pulled towards him, shattering into splinters. Magnus moved back, afraid, but Alec seemed not to notice as more and more items travelled towards him.

"I've never had anyone like you Magnus, and I don't even know who I am I've denied myself for so long but it's all for you because goddamn it, I CAN'T LOSE YOU." He screamed, burying his face in his hands.

The items dropped to the floor, leaving an awed Magnus surrounded by dust to stare at his mate in awe.

"Alec... You're... Alec- I-I didn't-" Magnus muttered, stumbling over his words, looking up at his boyfriend from where he had fallen in his haste to move out of the way.

As if on cue, Will Solace and Nico di Angelo stumbled out of the house, running towards them, and both running towards Alec.

"Alec you idiot are you alright?" Nico asked.

"Don't call him and idiot! He can't control it!" Will defended.

"I'm fine I just... Magnus... I..." Alec tried, but shortly after his eyes slipped shut and he fell forwards into Will, who-much to Nico's delight, was comically surprised, rushing to catch him.

"Must have been one hell of a fight for him to use all of his power like that..." Nico said, helping Will set Alec carefully on the ground.

"I'll say..." Muttered Will, seeming to notice Magnus for the first time, and walking over to him, a worried and shocked look on his face.

"Did he attack you?" Will asked, horrified. Magnus mirrored his tone.

"What? No! Oh it's all my fault I didn't know he was hiding something like that... Will he be ok?" Magnus asked.

"Yes of course, he's just exhausted his power. So I suppose you know then?" Will said, and Magnus nodded.

"I never thought..." he muttered.

"Of course you didn't." Nico said, rather coldly, rolling his eyes in exasperation, causing the other two to frown as they helped the sleeping Alec inside.

"It's not your fault Magnus, there aren't any other fairies we know of with powers like his." Will explained, "Alec must have spent most of his time in the palace searching the library for more information about himself, but as far as we know, he's alone." He said sadly, as they settled Alec in to sleep. In Magnus' yellow comforted bed of course.

"How long has he known?" Magnus asked, now more intrigued than anything else.

Nico answered this time;

"By my guess, probably since he was around 4, or sometime around that age when he realised other kids didn't hear people's voices in his head all of the time."

Magnus stared at Nico openly.

"So that's why he's so good in bed." Magnus muttered, a smirk on his face.

Both Will and Nico groaned, Will pinching his nose and shutting his eyes, as if that would shut Magnus out.

"Thank you, I really wanted to hear that about my brother, really, thank you." He groaned sarcastically, causing Nico to laugh hysterically.

"You should do that more often." Will told him.

"Do what?"

"Laugh, you're a lot sexier that way." Will clarified, dropping a wink for good measure and causing Nico to blush profusely.

"Thank you, did you have to flirt with him in front of me?" Magnus demanded, mimicking Will's previous reaction.

Will just grinned, even whilst Nico went to slap him.

Alec POV

When Alec awoke it took him a moment to figure out what had happened, and he felt entirely exhausted, the voices in his hand pounded loudly and mercilessly against his skull.

"Alec? Alec darling, are you awake?" A voice that sounded a lot like Magnus asked.

Alec just groaned, and Magnus- who Alec knew thought he was still asleep- pressed a kiss in between Alec' shoulder blades, and laying on his back, wide awake.

Alec could make out little thoughts of Magnus' over the next few minutes, they were so obviously Magnus, they sounded like him, literally they were Magnus' voice, and they were just so well... Magnus.

He's so adorable when he sleeps... wish I could see those blue eyes now...

He stroked Alec's wings tentatively, causing shiver slightly.

"Alec? Are you awake?"

At this, Alec had to turn over, though very shyly.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." He whispered.

"I don't care Alec. I love you, I really do. We'll get through this, I'd like to do some research, see if there are any other like you." He said.

"Really? You... You don't mind? I mean..." Alec asked tentatively.

Magnus grinned.

"Alec. I find it fascinating."
