This about Magnus and his father. After/during Season 3 episode 10. I would love some prompts for Malec content if you'd like to give them! Enjoy!

"Magnus, talk to me," Alec demands. He has been so distant since he saw his father. Alec knows something is bothering him. He just has to talk to him about it and he can help. Alec leans over, placing my hand on his chest. He turns his head to him with a sadness in his eyes that Alec needs to rid him of.

"Please," Alec begs.

"He told me to apologize to him, Alec."

"What?" Alec asks.

Magnus's eyes turn to his boyfriend. His face is sad and his eyes are already swimming. Alec puts his hand under his button up purple shirt, just barely touching his skin, letting him know that he is here for his boyfriend when he needs it.

"He told me to apologize for him because he was the one that showed me how to be who I am. He said that I was ungrateful and that I did not appreciate him. He said that I should have stayed with him, learned from him and then become like him."

"No! That's ridiculous! Of course you shouldn't have had to be with him, Magnus. You shouldn't have had to learn from him. You made the right decision," Alec says, getting angry with his boyfriend. But this is not what Magnus needed. He needs love and compassion and care. He needs someone to take care of him.

Alec realizes that when Magnus's face does not look relieved. He looks upset. He looks more upset than he did before. He presses his lips together and then leans over, toward Alec. They put their foreheads together and close their eyes.

"He isn't worth worrying about, Magnus," Alec promises.

"I know."

Alec leans close to him for a long lasting kiss. It leads to Alec unbuttoning his shirt slowly, pulling down each button and then pushing the sleeves off of him. The necklaces dangle onto his boyfriend's chest as he lays on top of him, kissing down his runes and tracing along his neck and collar bone.

"Wait," Magnus says.

"What?"

"I just…I want to…would you mind if—"

Alec brushes his hand against Magnus's lip. He smiles a little and lets Manus lay beside him, brushing his hair and tracing his fingers down his neck and spine carefully, always with a soft expression on his face to assure his comfort.

"I thought I was the one who was alway unable to talk about my feelings?" Alec says with a smile. Magnus returns with a very small smile but it is not what he was hoping for. He wanted more than that. He thought that maybe he could make Magnus feel okay for a few moments.

"Just ask Magnus," Alec prompts.

"Hold me."

Alec's eyes water without provocation. He is unable to speak. He just nods. Alec pulls him close to his chest. Magnus rests his head on his boyfriend, wrapping his arm around his waist as Alec wraps both of his around his entire body. Their bodies intertwine, their legs lock and their hands fiddle with each other.

They do this for a long time in complete silence merely feeling the other person with them. But then it all comes down at once. Alec can feel tears on his chest. He can feel Magnus' body shaking against his own. His hand grabs his boyfriend as hard as he can. He cries, holding onto him. It takes a lot for Alec to attempt to hold it all back too. Hearing Magnus crying makes him want to do the same. His face becomes sore before slow tears fall down his cheeks.

"Magnus," he whispers. "It's okay. What's making you so upset?"

Magnus doesn't answer. He can't. His body hurts too much. His head hurts. His eyes are sad. His entire body feels as if it has given up. He squeezes Alec closer.

"Magnus, please tell me."

He nods. Alec gives him time as he begins to speak.

"I didn't want to give up my magic, Alec. I didn't want any of this. I just wanted you to be safe."

"I am safe and so are you," Alec promises. It makes Magnus feel the tiniest bit better but it is not enough.

"What else?" Alec asks.

"He wanted me to join him, Alec. For a brief moment, I thought about doing it. I thought that as long as you and Jace were safe, I could do it. I could stay down with him and you all would be okay. But I couldn't. I was so afraid of him. I wanted to be home to you so badly. I couldn't handle being alone anymore."

"Magnus, you were right to what you did," Alec says.

"But what if I wasn't? Giving up my magic…it's like giving up a part of me. Alec, I don't know who I am anymore."

"I do. I know exactly who you are. You're Magnus Bane."

"The warlock," he finishes in a sad but angry voice. Alec does everything he can to make him feel better but the more he talks, the more he feels like he is making it worse.

"No. My boyfriend. The love of my life. The man that I want to be with forever. Without your magic, your ability to change things, you are a man. You are an outrageous, confident, beautiful man that I love very much," Alec promises, bringing tears to his eyes. He smiles at Magnus when he sees a happy man return his expression.

"I love you too," Magnus says.

"Do you want to tell me what happened with your father when you were a child?" Alec asks, leaning toward his boyfriend. Manus nods but then lays his head down onto the pillow. He puts his hand onto his boyfriend's shoulder so they can hold each other close while he talks. It makes him feel a little bit better than before.

"I was alone. I had nothing. I knew no one. But he took me in. Osmodius told me that I was going to be someone. He told me that I was going to earn a position at his side and I was going to be the greatest warlock there was. But then I started to realize what he was doing. It wasn't long before he started taking advantage of me. He made me do terrible acts of magic. He made me learn the darkest part of magic. When I finally escaped him, I realized what I had become and left to become everything but that."

Magnus pauses. The pair stare into each others eyes with a look of shared fear and sadness.

"Sometimes I wonder if what he did to me is still on my soul. Maybe I am imprinted with hate and fear just as any devil child should be," he says with anger, tears running down his perfect face.

Alec reaches toward him, putting his hand to the side of his face and kissing his cheek gently.

"No. That's not true at all. You are a good person, Magnus. All you ever do is good. Sometimes we have to make hard decisions. When you make them, you are always good. Better than me."

Magnus doesn't say anything at first. He doesn't want to. He wants to consider whether he believes his lover or not. After a long moment, he just accepts it to be true, though he doesn't believe it is.

"I love you," Alec says.

"I love you too."

"Can I hold you?" Alec asks. Magnus leans up to look at Alec's body and then back to his eyes.

"Actually, I was thinking we might do something else…"
