Authors note: Well, this one is shorter but it is exactly what you all wanted! So review and enjoy! (no this is not the last chapter). PS. I keep putting brake instead of break. I promise i know the difference, I just type fast and i would go to fix them but there's too many.
Immediately I put an arm around him to help him up but he could barely move, it was still pouring rain, I could tell he was shivering and it was then that I realized I was too. I need to get us to cover.
Leaving all my weapons I used tonight behind, I swept Magnus off the ground and carried him to the tree that I came up on. It was difficult to get us on it and to maneuver around leaves and branches but I finally got us under enough shelter so that we weren't getting rained on. Going anywhere but the tree was not an option, demons were still on the loose and honestly I don't know how far I could carry Magnus.
I leaned him against the trunk and sat side ways from him with my legs being supported by the branch next to us. He rested his head against the trunk as well and had his eyes closed all while breathing heavily.
He looked awful. His clothes were torn, I could see faint dry blood marks on his skin that the rain had not washed away. He was a lot paler than usual, I've never seen him so white. Magnus was weak, he was weak from our break up, weak from the demons and now he is weak from being hexed.
"Magnus." I whispered. "I'm so sorry." I sobbed to him and thoughtlessly brushed his wet hair away from his now barely open eyes.
"What are you talking about?" He asked in a weak voice.
"I did this to you. All of this is my fault. Starting from the very day I went to Camille about your immortality. I shouldn't have done it and I regret it every single day Magnus. I broke your trust in me. I destroyed us. And I'm so sorry, deeply sorry. If I could do it over again I would, I wouldn't have went to her. I had no business doing so. This was a situation you and I work out together. Not me and your ex."
Magnus stared at me but I couldn't look at him. I didn't have the will to look but I kept talking. "These days have been hell without you. I cry myself to sleep, I cant eat and I couldn't even leave my room for days. Then I had to come here and suddenly learn you will be here too. I was so scared to see you yet excited at the same time. But I didn't want you to know how badly you broke me so I faked like I didn't care, which didn't work out so well."
"Alec-" He started.
"The only person I can blame is myself. You had to protect yourself and I get it Magnus. I would've done the same thing if I were dealing with a douche bag like me."
"Alexander" Magnus said again. "Look at me."
Slowly I looked up at him, hiding most of my face behind my dripping hair. Magnus reached out and pulled my chin up, and swept the hair from my eyes like I did his. He then grabbed both sides of my face and kissed me.
I muffled out something that was mixed with a sob and a moan and wrapped my arms around his neck. The kiss was gentle yet urgent, desperate and exhilarating. When he finally parted his soft tender lips from mine I couldn't open my eyes. I couldn't believe it was real. Surely I was dreaming and I'm about to wake up in my bed at the Institute.
Magnus rubbed a thumb across my cheek bone, big surprise that I was crying again.
"You did brake me, in ways I cannot even begin to describe. But I have never felt this way about someone in the 800 years I have lived. Breaking up with you was the worse mistake I have ever made and I don't intend on ever doing it again." He paused. "Alec." He whispered. I opened my eyes and found big round cat eyes looking at me desperately. "I don't want to lose you, I cant do that again. I don't want to live in a world that you're not in."
I pulled my face from his. "You don't deserve me, you deserve someone better, a person you can trust and rely on."
"I can trust and rely on you, darling. Don't you get that?"
"Even after what I did?" I said so quietly I wondered if he even heard it.
"Your intentions were in the right place Alec. I was the one who agreed I wanted to grow old with you. I just wished you had come to me first."
"I should've I know-"
"This is something we will figure out, together." He stated reassuringly.
I looked at him. "Together?"
"Together." He confirmed.
Magnus and I sat in the tree together until he had enough strength to get himself to be able to climb down and walk on his own. I don't know how long we were up there for but at some point, it had stopped raining and I noticed that the demons began to dissipate into black ash without a trace of being killed. Which reminded me to go back up to the roof and retrieve my weapons, I left Magnus to rummage through his things in the house.
I bow snapped in half, the string was the only thing holding it together. I sighed and figured I could find a way to fix it. I threw my arrows over my shoulder and sheathed my seraph blade. I lost my dagger when I threw it at Jonathan.
I found Magnus in the bedroom, sitting on the bed staring at the mess around him.
"You know, I heard you." I frowned in confusion and said nothing, Magnus continued. "When you were looking for me down here. Calling my name. I wanted to call back to you but I couldn't. Then I got the fire message, I read it and saw it was from you but Jonathan took it and replied. Then said you were going to die.
"At first I didn't think you would believe it, because of the handwriting and that Jonathan would probably be too stupid to sign M.B at the end. But either way I knew you would come."
Oh, I didn't even bother to take notice to that. But as he said, it wouldn't have mattered. "I would always come Magnus." I knelt down in front of him and got him to look at me. "There is nothing I wouldn't do for you."
"I know." He whispered. "And that's what I'm afraid of. You don't think twice about saving yourself when it comes to the people you love."
I felt my frown deepen. "Wouldn't you have done the same?"
"Of course. But I have lived for a long time Alec, it doesn't matter to me if I die. I've seen and done it all. You have your whole life ahead of you."
"My life is worthless without you." I said sternly, that made Magnus smile faintly.
"As mine is without you." He said and I pulled myself up next to him and kissed him, hard and long. Nothing like the kiss we shared in the tree. This one was more aggressive and fervent. This kiss led into something much more intimate.
