Chapter 2, Magnus POV
When it came down to it, Magnus thought he was a very sympathetic person. He was also very good natured but to be referred to as a counsellor? No. He was not a counsellor. How was he meant to counsel someone when he had his own problems? Woolsey was going to be gone for two days. That meant 48 hours without the love of his life! What he did not expect on that pleasant April evening, was to find none other than William Herondale standing at his door. The once cocky, self-absorbed Shadowhunter now had lines on his forehead and a strained, pained look in his eyes. But damn those eyes never failed to impress Magnus. Black hair, blue eyes were his weakness. And William Herondale was the prime example. Magnus looked at him and rubbed his temple
"Please don't tell me you're cursed again, I don't think I can cope calling up another demon" Magnus intended this to be a joke. What he did not expect was for Will to break down crying in his arms. Magnus quickly guided him threw to his drawing room "Will, oh Will" he whispered. He kept hugging the Shadowhunter until his breathing evened out. What had got him like this? He would slaughter anyone who dared hurt his blue eyed love. Magnus waited until he was ready to speak and when it did, it was a knife through the heart
"T-Tessa, my Tessa, she's depressed"
"William, whatever are you talking about?"
"She's depressed! I'm sure you know what depressed means!" he shouted at Magnus. Magnus just sighed and looked at him "Will, getting angry won't help. Tell me why is she depressed, there is remedies I can get her to help"
"Last time I checked you had no cure for immortality" that struck Magnus like a whip across the back. He stared at Will, his eyes searching him and then everything clicked
"I see"
"Henry said I should get you to talk to her. She does nothing but cry in her sleep, she doesn't leave Jamie's side unless I drag her away. She sits and stares at nothing" he sounded so hopeless. God, Magnus thought, why do you punish people who deserve it least? All the suffering Will endured to be greeted by this? They had a child, a beautiful son, but now that happiness turned to sadness and Magnus knew there would be no cure to this sadness. The warlock took Will's hand and held it softly "I will talk to her, I will help as much as I can. She will not be alone in this"
"Do you promise me?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Will nodded and took a deep breath "Thank you"
"Anything to help, I'll come by tomorrow and chat to her alright?"
"That should do fine" Will stood up and offered a hand shake to Magnus who scoffed and pulled him into a hug "We hug Will, we've kissed each other before. A hand shake is far too formal"
"In case you've forgotten, I was on the verge of death from demon poison!"
"Don't be a drama queen, Will" he smirks and stands by the door as Will walks across to Balious. Such a loyal creature, Magnus thought, a loyal creature for a loyal master. He watched as Will rode off across the road and too the bridge. Magnus was never one for soapy love stories. He remembered back to Axel in Paris during the French Revolution. How they stole that kiss beside the river and how it was Magnus who broke the kiss, insisting that he got away from Paris for he wanted him to be safe. So many lovers, he thought, but none quite like Will.
Will's POV
Will left Balious to Cyril and hurried up to Tessa. First though, he stopped to talk to Jessamine who was sitting on the steps and smiling at him
"Where have you been then?"
"Your job, Jessie, is to guard the institute. Not become Sherlock Holmes"
"Tessa has been going mad, I heard Sophie try to calm her down. They got Brother Zachariah out eventually to get her settled" alarm flashed across Will's face "I-is Jamie alright?"
"He's fine, I think it was a nightmare or something" Will didn't want to find out from Jessamine. He ran the rest of the way until he was at Tessa's room. He flung the door open and saw Tessa lying perfectly still in her bed and Jem sitting there holding her hand
"J-Jem? What's wrong with Tessa?" he whispered desperately, hurrying in to be by her side
At ease, brother at ease. He heard Jem's cool voice fill his head and took a deep breath
"Jessamine said that she was upset, a-and everyone was trying to calm her down but she was upset"
Will, Tessa is just very stressed at the moment. She woke up and found you weren't here and James was gone. She hadn't found your note, it had been knocked over when you left, Jem explained with such kindness, Will felt his heart stutter
"I'm so stupid" he whispered "I was at Magnus's, he's coming to talk to her tomorrow about-about being immortal" Jem nodded softly, Tessa stirred and Will saw Jem's hand tighten ever so slightly. The three of them again; When Jem was sick, Will would sit loyally by his side until he was better. When Will was sick, Jem would stand by his window and play the violin until Will was asleep in a peaceful dream. But when Tessa was sick, both of them stood loyally by her side. No matter the situation, Jem would stand at one side and Will at the other. For between them a red ribbon linked their hearts. An unbreakable bond that would only grow strong as time progressed. And as time progressed Will realised two things; one, he had the most kindest parabati a Shadowhunter could wish for and two, his wife was the most brilliant thing alive on this earth. Will walked to the other side of the bed and took Tessa's hand. For now, they would sit in silence, for now they would remain in their little bubble. For now, things seemed to be alright…but that was only for now.
