Alec POV
"Babe..." I started off as endearing as possible, drawing little circles on his chest. "You like Izzy right?"
"Mhmm of course I love Isabelle." Magnus kissed my neck distractedly, "Why is there a problem?"
"An urgent problem actually. Izzy needs a favor of you."
Magnus sighed and rolled over to face me. "Sure. What is it? She does me alot of favors."
I paused slightly at his statement in confusion. "What favors could Izzy possibly grant you? You know what...never mind. The point is Jace has demon poison seeping through his veins as we speak and he needs a warlock to save him."
He scrunched up his nose and scowled in distaste. "And by 'a warlock ' you mean me."
"Eh...more or less." I chuckled lightly.
"Ughh!" Magnus groaned and puffed out his cheeks, "Wait. What does Jace being on the brink of death have to do with doing Isabelle a favor?"
"Seriously, Magnus?" I sighed and poked his cheeks releasing the air he'd been holding in. "Don't be like this babe."
"What? I really don't see the connection." He lied and feigned a yawn dramatically. "However if I must tend to the blonde shadowhunter boy... then you will owe me a favor Alexander."
"Me?" I squeaked out and cleared my throat. "I mean why me? It's Izzy who's asking."
"Hmmm right. But it's you who is demanding." Magnus stated matter of factly. "Very well. I will go. But you will accompany me."
I sighed and shook my head, "Magnus I just ran away remember? I can't go back to the institute right now. I can't risk running into my mom."
"Then there's no fun in this." Magnus complained but got up despite himself. "Fine. But you owe me big time."
"Thanks so much for this Magnus." I breathed out in relief. "You know Jace is my parabatai...if he dies there's no telling what will happen to me."
"Don't thank me yet Alexander. You now owe me a favor. And the High Warlock always comes to collect."
"Hmm I'd bet. Anyway love you'd better run along then. Because if Jace dies you will have no favor to collect." I smiled curtly and shooed him away. He glared at me coldly before snapping his fingers and disappearing into thin air. Geesh. Talk about no warning. I sighed and snuggled into the pillow. Finally I could catch up on some much needed sleep.
Magnus POV
When I arrived at the institute Claus appeared in the parking lot simultaneously. I walked inside without knocking; some secure "safe hold" alright. There was no need to ask where to find Jace. Between Clary's crying and Isabelle's groans of frustration, I think I managed finding the victim quite impressively. I stood there in the doorway for a few minutes before clearing my throat to make my presence known; the mourning scene was too beautiful.
"Magnus! How long have you been here?" Isabelle accused with scolding eyes and I flinched at her aggressiveness.
"Just about three minutes not that long. You're a sight to sore eyes Isabelle, as always."
"Magnus! Jace's body can give in at any moment now. You of all people know the effects of demon poison." Isabelle whimpered and tugged on my sleeve.
I shook her off gently and patted her arm. "Don't worry his runes are good for another 2 minutes or so. You have time to say your good byes."
"Please Magnus...he's like a brother to me. And he's Alec's parabatai. Think about what he's experiencing right now."
I sighed giving in out of the thought of being alone again. No...I couldn't handle that. "Fine, fine. But there are a few things I'll need."
I gave her the list of ingredients I needed for the elixir and she nodded eagerly. "We have those in the cellar. I'll be swift."
"You got ninety seconds!" I called out to her, but she was long gone. A few seconds later Isabelle returned with everything I needed. I raised my eyebrows impressively.
"What are you waiting for? Save him!" Isabelle cried shoving me toward the mattress.
I sighed and rolled up my sleeves; I had work to do.
Hours later I woke up in a strangely familiar bed. My throat immediately started hurting as I inhaled, it felt like i was breathing in shards of glass. I groaned as I sat up and suddenly a glass of water was placed to my lips. I downed the glass and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks for that."
"No thank you Magnus. We're so grateful." Isabelle smiled softly and retrieved the glass from my hand placing it on a table.
"Don't thank me. Thank your brother. He now owes me a favor because of this." I informed her thoughtfully. If only she knew what her brother might have to do.
"What? Are you going to make him do masochistic yaoi stuff?" She gasped, "Magnus I know you're...kinky right but Alec is delicate so..."
"Isabelle don't worry." I laughed, "I would not force Alexander to do anything, I have other favors in mind. Besides why use my request on something I'll get for free?"
"Oh. Woa." Isabelle blinked twice and cleared her throat loudly, "Damn Magnus. Would you mind elaborating just a bit on that last bit? Just between me and you."
I laughed and shook my head shooing her away. "Hun, I'll pass on that one. Speaking of your brother, I'm afraid I've left him alone long enough. I must leave now."
Isabelle darted in front the room door and fidgeted nervously. "Well you see...I can't let you do that."
"And why not?" I demanded coolly.
"Well..." She looked down at her feet shamefully, "My parents are here...and so are the Clave."
My head snapped up and I glared at Isabelle through narrowed eyes. "What do you mean the Clave is here?"
"The demon attack that happened?" Isabelle inhaled slowly, "That was all my fault for messing around with Downworlders." I raised my eyebrows at the last part part and she swore. "Shit. Sorry Magnus you know what I mean. I just don't want to specify who I dealt with..."
"Well this is great." I sighed and ran my hands through my hair in frustration, "So how long will they be here? I need to get back to Alexander, Isabelle."
"I'm so sorry Magnus but I really don't know." Isabelle frowned, "Can't you just...you know, magic yourself there?"
"If you don't recall, I just healed Blondie from demon poison. Hence, my magic is too low to teleport. My poor Alexander, you will have to wait for me." I pouted and fell back on the pillow.
"Magnus..." Isabelle patted my shoulder in remorse, "I offer myself if you find yourself sexually deprived during your stay here."
My eyes widened and I almost passed out again. "No dear. In case you haven't noticed...you are not exactly my type. Besides, I'm your brother's boyfriend. Do you want his ghost to haunt you?"
She frowned deeply, "Hey that's not funny. Alec is all the way in wherever the hell you live. He'd never know."
On queue, my phone started ringing and Isabelle glanced at the screen and yelped. I laughed at the irony of the situation. "It's him isn't it?"
"Don't answer it!" Isabelle ordered, took my phone and ran in the bathroom with it.
