OMg, nearly a hundred views. Ahhh. Soz. Freaked. So, chapter three... here goes...
He walked down he beach slowly, his silky hair repeatedly blowing into his eyes, waving softly in the wind. He wasn't paying any attention to his surroundings, for all he could think of now was Alexander. All he could see was deep bottle blue, all he could hear was a soft voice telling him to be safe. All he could small was the rich oaky scent of Alec's cabin, the calm eye of the storm in that terrible ship.
It had been two days since he had snuck onto that dreaded boat. Two day since he saw the adorable Alec. He carried on his walk down the shore, the sinking sun setting the world into a rose dusk. If he looked up, he would see the glow of the retreating light sinking below the place where water met sky.
Lost in thought, he nearly missed the moan coming from behind the line of elegant palm tree just to the left of him. Stopping he stepped to where he thought the sound originated from. There, he saw a dark heap laying on the sandy floor.
"Hello?" Another groan emitted from the lump.
"M...ma...Magnus? Is it y...you?" Stuttered the dark figure. Magnus' jaw dropped.
"Alexander?" He whispered, praying it wasn't true.
"It's... it's Alec." Defiantly him. Alec again moaned in pain.
"I'm going to try an lift you up, okay?" Magnus asked him, wanting permission. All he got in response was a grunt. He took it as a yes and proceeded. He gingerly pushed Alec up by his shoulders, careful to not press too hard, as he didn't know what was wrong. When Alec was propped up against the closest palm tree, Magnus took a close look at him and gasped. The whole left side of his face was a sickening purple colour with a few yellowish patches scattered around it. It was a terrible sight, and Alec flinched under his scrutiny.
"What the hell happened to you? Are you okay?" Alec groaned again, obviously in pain. "I'm going to take you to my hut and get you cleaned up."
"You don't..." he gasped. "You don't have to."
"Don't be ridiculous, look at the state you're in. What am I supposed to do, leave you here? Ridiculous."
"But... someone will see you" he groaned urgently. Magnus ignored him and started to pick him up as gently as possible. Staggering under the weight of the large, dark, limp man, Magnus slowly made his way to his humble home, trying desperately to be inconspicuous. Apparently the angels were smiling on them, because they managed to get into the hut before anybody saw them. He carefully laid Alec on his clothes strewn bed and tried his best to make him as comfortable as possible.
"Are you okay, are you comfortable?" Magnus scrambled to face Alec and asked him.
"I'm fine thank you, Magnus." What are you thinking? He doesn't wanted to be doted over by some foreigner... some native. They all think the islanders are below them, and though Alec is different, he probably won't want me near him for any length of time. He will leave as soon as he's healed, as soon as he can. Don't hope. Hoping never got me anywhere. He won't want you here.
"I'll just leave you be then..." Magnus got up and slowly walked towards the door of his home.
"Wait, Magnus. Stay. I mean... if you want to leave... of course you can. But if you don't mind I-" Magnus interrupted his rambling. Angel is he cute when he's rambling.
"I thought you'd want me to leave... I-" Magnus uncertainly replied.
"Why would I want you to leave?" Asked a confused Alec, propping himself up on one elbow and wincing at the movement.
"Well... why would you want some foreigner to take care of you? And you'll go back as soon as your healed, back to the ship. I can't hope... you want to be here? No, of course not. You don't-" it was now Magnus' turn to ramble, but he was soon cut of by an annoyed looking Alec. At receiving that annoyed look, many thoughts went through Magnus' head' He's thinking about how long it took me to catch on. He's thinking about how to kindly say that he didn't want to be here. He's thinking-
"Magnus, we've only met once, but I told you last time I don't think that. You are no different then me, and people should not judge you for where you were born or your skin colour. When I first saw you I thought you were beautiful, when you appeared in my room like magic. Then here, you helped me when you had no reason to, showing you're just as gorgeous and good on the inside as the outside. Of course I'd like you to stay if it's alright with you. And... and there's now way I'm ever going back to that ship." Magnus looked at the British man in awe, his jaw touching his chest, an amazed look in his eyes.
"Magnus... are you alright?" He nodded sharply, and just then the door flew open.
"Mags. Your going to need to come help, the so called explorers are picking fights again. Oh and Angel, you really need to clean this house of yours, how Rafe copes with you I do not know. Anyhow just-" Cat finally looked at Magnus, then her eyes widened as she took in the pale, blue eyed man next to him. "What the h-"
"Cat, this is Alec, the explorer, well actually hes a doctor, I told you about from my adventure aboard the villains lair. My saviour." At this Alec blushed, causing his bruised cheek to turn an even more disturbing colour. " I found him out on the beach like this, and I couldn't just leave him there, now, could I?"
"So you brought him back here? Hell Magnus, if you had been seen-"
"But we weren't."
"But you could of been!"
"But we weren't."
"But you could of-" Cat stopped herself, seeing that Magnus would never stop at this game. She knew from experience. That was a hour of her life neither she nor Rafe would ever get back. "What happened to him!"
"I don't know yet. Why don't you ask him, he can hear you know."
"What happened to you dear?" She asked , turning around to face Alec.
"I-." He swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down in his throat. "After Magnus left, I realised that I had to do everything I could to stop this. I went to my father, as there was no way in hell I was going to Valentine, I mean, Captain Morgenstern. I told him him my thoughts about the whole mission, how I thought the whole idea was disgraceful, and how it needed to be stopped. One thing led to another and soon I ended up talking about my... preferences. In the he called me a disgrace and an abomination and pretty much vocally disowned me. Then he... hit me and threw me over the side of the ship." Alec's voice cracked when he finished his description and he looked away at the wall. "I had just enough energy to swim to shore, then I passed out until Magnus found me."
"I'm so sorry dear. That must have been dreadful." You could tell by the voice that she was using the Cat had come to think of Alec as one of her patients. Alec bobbed his head in response.
"I don't know... I don't know what to do now." Magnus was mentally on top of a cliff, and hearing the despair in Alec's words, he jumped. He got up and walked over to Alec, sitting next to him. He then wrapped his arms around him and brought him into a hug, hoping he wasn't overstepping any boundaries. That seemed to not be the case as a surprised Alec soon leaned over and hugged him back, appreciating the comfort. Magnus then replied to Alec's previous plea for comfort.
"Nor do we. None of us do. We'll just have to find our way together."
So, sorry for the terrible ending, I didn't think I'd be able to stop for a while if I carried on. Plz review, I like knowing what your views are on it. Thnx XD.
