Magnus stepped into the mundane bar with hope in his heart. He was dressed in dark blue suit with matching eyeliner and a glittery touch to his hair. The warlock had spend two hours just to make sure he looks good enough to catch Alec's attention. He was desperate after not seeing his boyfriend or even hearing his voice. He elegantly walked and took his place where other leaders Luke Raphael and few others were seated. He coudn't find one person he so badly wanted to see. Magnus gave a smile and was greeted by the men occupying the table.
Luke had suggested that the meeting should be held in this particular local bar because the demon was mostly spotted here. None of them had seen the demon before so after meeting they could investigate more on him.
Luke cleared his throat "Shall we start the meeting?" Magnus leaned forward in his seat "Ah..Alexander hasn't shown up yet" Raphael who was sitting beside him let out a small laugh "Of course. We should wait for your boyfriend" he was just teasing his friend but his smile fell from his face when he saw hurt look on Magnus "We should wait for the Head of NewYork institute. His presence is as important as any of us"
Luke nodded "We wait for ten minutes. If he doesn't come by then, we start this meeting" Magnus agreed settling back in his chair. He saw the bar was filled with young girls and boys. The aroma of alcohol was reaching his nose making his senses go wild with thirst. He wished to spend hours drinking and tasting all different form of alcohol. But this was a professional meeting and he wasn't allowed to drink. He sighed thinking where was Alec
As if on cue his heart started to race and he knew Alec had stepped his foot in the bar. He fixed his eyes on the front door and was not disappointed when he finally saw the boy after a week. Alec walked in with Jace and Izzy following behind him. He wore his usual black outfit. No change except for the dark circles under his eyes and pale face. Magnus also noticed Alec had lost weight. Why are you doing this to yourself, thought the older man.
Alec's eyes roamed over the bar, finally spotting the round table where all were most probably waiting for him but he didn't care. He was staring at one person who he had missed for one week. His heart was racing in his chest but then he also felt sadness. He frowned. Was Magnus feeling sad that he has to see him? He shook his head. This was not the time to think over personal relationships. He was here for a purpose and he will act accordingly.
Alec Jace and Izzy joined the group and apologised for being late. Alec sat opposite to Magnus trying his best not to look at the gorgeous man in front of him. He so badly wanted to be in his arms and forget about their bond but he coudn't "Let's start"
The meeting went on for an hour with all giving their suggestions in catching the demon. Many times Magnus and Alec would look at each other and pretend they were not staring. Jace and Izzy were clearly feeling the cold tension between them. At the end of the meeting it was then decided that Luke and Alec will attack the demon with Jace and Izzy acting as baits by posing as normal mundanes. Though Alec first protested on the idea but his younger siblings were adamant about their decision.
Magnus and Raphael were given the job to make a spell that would send the demon back to hell. Just when Raphael was about to suggest something, Alec's phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled out and saw it was his mother "Excuse me. I have to take this" he got up the chair and went towards the drinks section. He ended the call in five minutes and turned to join back at the table when a voice came from behind "Hello beautiful"
Alec turned to see who the voice belong to and saw a tall broad white guy was smiling at him "I said Hello beautiful" Alec wanted to say back off but then he thought maybe he could get some information about the demon. It did look like he was a regular customer "Ah..Hi"
"My name is Gary. You are.." the man introduced himself and extended his hand "Alec" Alec shook hands with Gary and felt him stroking his thumb over his knuckles. He really wanted to pull his hand away but kept his calm "Can I join you. I think you could use a company" Gary didn't wait for Alec to answer. He pulled a stool and made Alec sit beside him. Too close to Alec's liking
Too close to Magnus's liking also as the warlock witnessed how a stranger came up to his boyfriend and touched him. He felt a sharp pang of jealousy in his heart. Magnus fisted his hands so hard that his skin had gone white. Alec gave a small gasp when he felt Magnus's anger in him. He looked at him and saw how red his eyes were. What is he getting mad for, he thought. I am just doing my job
"Are you alright Alec" Gary asked placing his hand over Alec's. The boy took a deep breath "Yeah yeah... I am good. So tell me about yourself"
Magnus gritted his teeth. He got up from the chair ready to show who Alec truly belongs to. He was feet away when a woman and a middle age man blocked his path. He tried move pass them but the man caught his arm "What's the hurry Magnus Bane"
Magnus narrowed his eyes "Who are you? How do you know my name?" this was a mundane bar and their meeting was confidential so who was this stranger? The man grinned at Magnus "You all are here to chit chat on how to capture me and you don't even recognise your target" his eyes turned black as coal
Magnus's eyes widened. This was the demon they were suppose to catch and send back to hell. Before Magnus could react or use his magic the woman let out a howl and used her demon strength to grab his arms locking behind his back. Magnus struggled to get free but stopped when he felt a sharp blade on his throat
Alec heard the howl and he looked pass Gary only to see Magnus being held by a woman and a knife pressed on his neck by another man. His heart pounded in his chest matching Magnus's scared one. He pushed Gary aside "Magnus!"
"Hold it!" The demon raised his voice and the club went dead silent. Luke and others jumped from their seat. Jace and Izzy saw the demon and pulled out their glammoured weapons. They saw Alec was visibly shaking on his feet seeing the threat on Magnus.
"Nobody moves if you don't want me to harm this warlock" the demon threatened looking at Alec "You were suppose to die shadowhunter. How are you even alive? No one has ever lived after my venom attack"
It was then Alec recognised the demon. He was the one who attacked him in the valley. It was because of him he had he almost died and Magnus had to share his heart. And now that same demon had Magnus under his grasp. He shook his head and whispered "Magnus"
