11..

Magnus glanced up from his phone as he neared his apartment and slowed to a stop. He put his phone away and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"What are you doing here?"

"I thought I would come and see you."

"I don't want to see you."

Magnus walked up the stairs to his apartment and closed the door behind him.

"You do know that there is a man standing outside the apartment right?" Alec asked as he walked inside.

"I do," Magnus nodded.

"He keeps ringing the buzzer…" Alec added.

"I know. Don't let him in," Magnus said going to the kitchen.

"Is he a stalker?" Alec asked.

"Nope. He's my father. I'm going to take a shower," Magnus answered going into the bedroom and shutting the door.

Alec blinked and looked out the window before looking back at the bedroom door and looked out the window again.

The man outside was very tall, thin, almost sickly thin, and black hair. He was dressed in a white business suit with a walking cane. Alec grabbed his coat and pulled it on as he went downstairs and outside.

"Is there something you need?" he asked standing on the steps.

"My son doesn't want to see me," the man answered chuckling. He looked Alec over and met his gaze. "Alexander Lightwood I presume?"

"…Yeah…" Alec nodded a little.

"I hope you keep a close eye on my son. If anything were to happen to him…I'd be disappointed."

He handed Alec a slip of paper. "Please tell him I'd like to at least talk to him if possible."

"Sure…" Alec took the paper and put it in his pocket before watching the man walk away. He looked down at the paper.

He went back inside and shut the door.

"What'd he want?" Magnus asked glancing up from his tea.

"He just said he wanted to see you," Alec answered. "He looks sick…"

"He is. At least I hope," Magnus said with a shrug.

Alec took the piece of paper and set it on the counter. "I think you should call him…"

"Alec-"

"I don't know what happened between the two of you and I know it's not my business, but if he is sick and if he is dying…you're going to regret it when he's gone."

"I will think about it…" Magnus told him.

Alec kissed his cheek. "Let's go for a run in the park."

"I just took a shower."

"Come on please? Just shower again. I pay the water bill anyway remember? Please?"

"Let me go change."

Alec grinned.

"I hate that I can't resist those blue eyes of yours," Magnus pouted a bit as he pulled on a long sleeved shirt.

"Is it just my eyes you can't resist?" Alec teased grabbing his keys and leading him out.

"Your eyes are made me flirt with you in the first place. Never could resist a man with blue eyes and black hair~"

"Can I ask you something?" Magnus glanced over as they walked to the park.

"Always can," Alec answered.

"How come you never…change in front of me?"

"Isn't it weird? My joints dislocated, and make noises…-"

"You're self-conscious about it aren't you?"

"What? No."

"It's okay if you are," Magnus smiled. "For the record, I think you are a very handsome wolf."

Alec blushed a bit embarrassed and grabbed his hand. "Come with me."

"What about the run?" Magnus asked.

"I know a better place we can go," he answered. "If I change, it's very likely someone's gonna see and call animal pound. Very awkward."

"Has that happened to you?"

"Jace actually. When were younger. It was kinda funny."

"I believe it."

They walked in mostly silence as Alec led him to where ever it was they were going. They were getting farther from the neighborhood. Things were getting a little darker, less city like.

"Where are we?" Magnus asked looking around.

"Don't worry about it. Just stay close," Alec answered wrapping his arm around him.

"Alec! Long time no see," a slightly younger girl smiled walking up to them. "Who's the human?"

"Hu-" Alec covered Magnus's mouth with his hand. "Just the person I was hoping to see," he smiled. "I was hoping we could possibly go for a run around here. Your woods have less of a chance of me getting seen."

"Oh? And you could use the woods surrounding your territory?" She asked.

"My car's in the shop so it'd take too long to get there and Sebastian and his little pack of rogue's have been seen running around. I don't want to chance an encounter. I'll owe you one," he answered.

"Keep a close on him. Don't over step your welcome and no fights," she told him.

"Just a few hours and then we'll leave. I promise," he nodded.

She took one last look at Magnus before nodding and walking off. Alec uncovered his mouth and started walking again.

"What was that about?" he asked.

"Maia is the head of this territory. We're not allowed to enter without the other leader permission. Humans are of course welcome because they don't know. But if a werewolf crosses over and causes problems, it creates this whole thing and then the Praetor Lupus gets involved and it's just a big mess for everyone," Alec explained. "Don't worry. You and I will sit down and I will explain everything to you in moderate doses."

Magnus nodded a little. "Promise?"

"I promise. No more surprises or secrets."

Alec led him to the park and waited until they got deep enough that there were hardly any others around and started pulling off his shirt.

"Do you want me to turn around?" Magnus asked.

"Why? You've seen me naked," Alec answered with a wink. He pulled off his pants and handed the discarded clothing to Magnus.

"…Okay….maybe you could turn around now…" Alec blushed embarrassed.

Magnus nodded and turned so his back was to him and waited. Alec took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and tried to relax. It felt a little awkward changing around someone. Usually he just started running and let it happen that way.

He shook a little bit after it finished and let himself adjust. He took a few steps forward and nudged Magnus with his nose to get him to turn around.

He saw that small glint of fear in his eyes before it was replaced by awe.

"I forgot how big you are…" Magnus said looking at him. "Can I?"

He held out his hand. Alec sat down on his hind legs and closed his eyes. He heard Magnus step forward and felt his hands on him. In his fur, stroking gently. Rubbing his ears.

"It feels odd talking to myself like this…" Magnus smiled a bit. "But a good kinda odd. Not the bad when I'm hearing those voices."

Alec opened his eyes and nuzzled his chin a little bit licking his cheek. Magnus laughed a little bit and stroked his fur more.

"I guess in a way…you being like this means you can't talk back right? Because I really need you to listen for a little okay? Can you do that?"

I'll always listen to you…Alec thought.

Magnus sat down and rest against the tree behind him folding Alec's clothes and leaving them in his lap. He was quiet for a little bit as Alec lay down next to him resting his head in his lap.

"There's a reason I don't like my father…" he started. "There is a reason I could really care less about his existence in my life…he was around when I little and we were all happy. We were a family you know. He was a great dad…but then she found out he had other children with other woman…and they argued and fought and she took her anger out on me because I looked like him…and I don't blame her…I really don't. She died when I was seven. She had a heart attack and I was sent to a foster family…and I kept hoping and praying that maybe he'd come and take me from the family because even though he was my father and even though he was a bastard…maybe he…maybe he still loved me enough to come and get me…but he never did. He never tried to get me…he left when I needed him most, when my mom needed him most…and…no matter how much I try, I can't forgive him for that…I don't expect you to understand. But that's how I feel…"

Alec sat up and nuzzled him again licking his cheek. People change…He didn't like waiting until the full mood to be able to mark him. Then they would be able to at least speak to each other through their thoughts when he was like this. But maybe it was for the best.

Magnus quietly slipped out of bed and grabbed his cell phone off the nightstand and shut the bedroom door behind him as he walked out to the living room. He browsed through his contacts and hesitated before dialing and sat on the fire escape.

"You know it's three in the morning right?" Asmodeus answered.

"I was hoping for your answering machine…" Magnus admitted.

"I can hang up and you can call again and not answer if you prefer."

"No…it's okay…so um…how are you?"

"I'm doing better…"

"That's good…look um…There's going to be this exhibition at this place I work at on Saturday...noon if you feel like stopping by…"

"I look forward to it. Could you text me the address?"

"Yeah…I…I will…"

"You should get to sleep. You sound tired."

Magnus chuckled a bit. "Alright…good night…"

He hung up and sat there for a few more moments before going back inside and leaving his phone on the table as he went back to bed.
