I own nothing, it's all Cassandra Clares!
Chapter 5
Magnus' POV
I nearly laid my head down on those soft looking papers on my desk, when I felt the vibration in my fingertips before the sound began to invade my foggy mind. I picked the phone up, laid my head down and closed my eyes slowly while I took the call mumbling "Bane sleeping." "You mean speaking..." "No..." "Okay... So I guess I can throw your precious ingredients out the window or sell them otherwise and make more money... sounds good for me." My eyes shot open, my upper body got in a sitting position by lightning speed. "Hayden!" "No, here's the fat guy in red clothes who kills the kids at Christmas, dumbass." "He brings presents..." I'm shaking myself out of this ridiculous conversation. "Ugh! Forget it! Do you have everything?" "Are you sure about the presents? But they always talk about writing lists, I thought with the names of other kids you want dead..." "Hayden... I'm not discussing this now. Just believe me, I'm right." "Mmh... Can I bring your stuff over or are you still asleep?" I could hear his grin over the phone. "No, I'm very awake now. Come over, I can't wait to get this started." "No offense but I think your boyfriend might get jealous and he's a shadowhunter, so..." "Hayden, I'm feeling honored, but that's long ago and by the way was a one night stand, so stop fooling around and get your small ass over here." "Like I said it, just wants to get my sweet little butt again." I hear him laughing and to make him regret that I'm ending the call without saying something else.
I'm shaking my head again to clear it from thoughts of a children killing Santa. Someone should tell me again that I'm weird. Then I'm just smiling to myself, tonight is gonna be the night. I needed to wait for three days until Hayden called back to tell me that today he should have everything together and he's one of the best, I didn't want to think about how long another retailer should've needed. I decide to change into something more than just my purple shorts, or else Hayden will think he was right with his joke. I had to preserve the picture of a high warlock after all and knew that he will be here in an hour. So I've chosen black leather pants, a dark blue shirt that clang to my body in all the right places and blue for the statement to make and styled my hair in the typical spikes, blue glittery streaks on the right side brought out the best of my make up. I pulled the black leather vest over my shoulders as I herad the doorbell. I snapped my fingers to get us some coffee, placed it on the table and pressed the buzzer next to the door. I picked up Chairman Meow, who straddled my ankles to get some attention and crawled him behind his tiny ears before opening the door.
"Hey Bane! Feeling good?" I could see his green eyes sparkling in the dimly lighted floor, two other guys behind him on the steps all three with different sized boxes in their hands and arms. I lifted my free hand and made a movement with my fingers, taking the boxes with my blue sparks and let them fly into my spell room carefully. "Okay guys, you can go back now and make the other deliveries." The two guys behind him turned around and left. "Hey Hayden. Wanna come in? I got you some coffee. Latte macchiato with caramel, like always." Hayden, now in his mid thirties, was very good looking, his skin had the colour of dark chocolate, tight muscles building a broad stature and those emerald green eyes just got right through you. He walked through the door and his smile faltered as he saw the Chairman on my arm. "Don't put that little devil back down to the floor till I'm here! He will bite my toe again!" Chairman seemed to understand every word, his fur stood up, his ears went back on his head and he hissed and slapped in Haydens direction with his little paw. I had to smile to that, it looked more cute than threatening, but I knew how much the teeth of that little man could hurt. "I know you don't like each other, that's why I picked him up. Take a seat."
I closed the door and went over to sit down in the living room taking the loveseat opposite side of Hayden, placing Chairman in my lap and letting my fingers caress the stomach of the purring fur ball. "You're looking good, Bane. Are you sure you don't want to pay me in another way?" "Always the same with you... and no, thanks." Hayden took his coffee cup and sipped at it trying to hide his grin behind the cup. "So... what are you planning? I still don't get the spell you want to perform and although I'm just a mundane with the sight I know a lot of spells." "Like I said, it's an invented spell from a greek warlock to be what you want to be or change what you don't want to be, if you want to see it like that." "Then, why was it the last thing you could've found about said warlock?" I took a sip of my own coffee and said: "Hopefully because he didn't need another spell ever again. Or... he died at the spot or maybe he wanted to be a stone, stones are not really talkative..." "You should stop trying to be funny, Bane. Is it that dangerous?" "I don't know. If you want to I could call you afterwards, so you know I'm still alive." "You're too kind. I would be pleased to know that a friend of me is still alive." "A friend? I'm just a customer, Hayden." Hayden took another sip of his coffee and gave me a serious look. "You're not. You saved my life way too often without gaining money to just be a customer. Even if you don't want to admit it, Bane you've got a soft heart." Hayden drank the rest of his coffee and stood up. "Don't be afraid. I won't tell anyone." I stood up too and followed him to the door, trying to hide my grin. "If you survive that mysterious spell, you can come over. I've got a bottle from that very rare nightshadow grapes wine, if I remember correctly you liked it." "If I remember correctly, it was because of exactly this wine why we had our one night stand." Hayden opened the door and half turned around smiling, the handle still in his hand. "Really?! I didn't remember that part..." "Yeah... for sure you didn't." He let go of the door and hugged me. "I meant it, Magnus. Be careful." His hands slid down my back to my ass. "I would really miss that..." I froze in his arms, even more at the moment I opened my eyes and looked over his shoulder.
"When your hands are, where I think they are, you're better be able to run like hell, Hayden Walsh. I know where you live, remember?" Hayden's hands slowly crawled up to the small of my back, his posture stiff against me. Still holding me in his arms he looked over his shoulder and directly in Alecs dark blue angry eyes. He felt uneasy, I had to smile a little at the sight. Alec wore his black shadowhunter gear, his arms crossed over his chest and the muscles showing perfectly, his bow and arrows were visible over his shoulder, throwing knives gleaming silver in the light from the belt over his chest under his arms. Said short: Alexander just looked fucking hot and way intimidating. "I would never do something like that, Lightwood. I love my life." Hayden let go of me, turned around and sneaked through the door with as much distance to Alec as possible, Alecs eyes never leaving his, still looking very pissed and so damn hot! "It's time for me leave. See you soon."
Alec grabbed the door behind him with one hand and slammed it shut after Hayden went through, his blazing eyes now meeting mine, I had to bite my lip at those thoughts which went through my mind. "Welcome home?" Alec grabbed me, turned me around and pinned me to the door so fast I felt dizzy before his lips crashed onto mine, his lips parting mine and his tongue invading my mouth immediately. His hands pressed both of my wrists to the door next to my head, his body pushed so directly to mine that I could feel the coolness of the morning air still lingering in his clothes as it soaked through mine and let a shiver run down my spine. If he wanted to prove that I was his, he could do it that way all day long, I didn't mind at all... A moan escaped my mouth, my body just melted into Alecs, I wanted to connect every possible inch with his. He let my wrists go for just a second to capture both with one of his hands over my head now, his other hand grabbed my hair and pulled my head back in my neck even more, another moan slipping over my lips in Alecs hot mouth. As oxygen became most needed he unlocked his lips from mine now swollen ones and looked deep into my eyes. "I hate it when he's flirting with you, he's always getting touchy." "It wasn't necessary to scare him to death for it." "It was." My legs nearly gave in as Alec pushed himself back and I lost all contact we had. Turning his back to me he walked inside the living room, taking off his bow, quiver and weaponbelts from his chest and hips and a few seconds later also gets rid off his jacket, laying everything on the sideboard that belonged completely to Alec and his weapons and arming.
Like always I searched for signs of any wounds making sure that he wasn't harmed during his hunt, but everything seemed to be okay. "How was the hunt?" Alec looked at me as I made my way over to him, helping him to open the clasps of his gear, his eyes were still a dark blue like sapphires out of jealousy. I saw the remnants of black demon blood, smeared over the side of Alecs neck, spots and streaks of drying human blood going down to the rim of his shirt. Four red angry stripes builded the background for it, next to it was a healing rune already fading into his skin. "Nothing special. A ravener nest in the park, we have to check if they had a master and special orders. I'm okay." I helped him out of the shirt and the wifebeater underneath. "You neaded a healing rune." "Yeah. What I need now is a shower." I laid my hand on his breast softly to stop him from turning around. "Alec, don't be mad. You know I love you and I would have told him where to put his hands, but you were faster." Alec took a deep breath, his breast heaving under my hand. "I know. I just can't help it." He turned around and without saying another word, went to the bathroom, I just stood there and watched him leaving.
