Chapter 2 : Enjoy Mundanes hahahahaa
If there was a word to describe the way Alec felt that morning it would be stressed, he thought drinking would have helped but it has only seemed to add to his list of problems.
-Headache and nauseous? Tick
- Broken heart? Tick
-Stalker vampire? Tick
Alec shuddered thinking back to the man in the alleyway, his red hair, twisted smile and then when he slammed his face into the wall. "Oh shit" he swore out loud as he made his way to the bathroom mirror to look at his bruised forehead, it looked horrible with the long cut across it but after arranging his bed hair all evidence was hidden, Alec knew that he could have used an Iratze to heal it but to him it didn't feel like second nature, he kind of wanted to heal like a mundane for once.
There was a knock on the door and he opened it to find Isabelle on the other side "It´s about time, my patience only lasts so long" she announced in a too loud of a voice that seemed to echo inside Alec head, she must of noticed his discomfort since her expression changed "huh, what's wrong?" she asked sounding generally concerned. "Hangover, I guess?" Alec replied trying to not seem overly bothered but failed instantly as he saw his sister's jaw drop open "HANGOVER! YOU! Maybe Magnus has been a good influence; soon you will be out clubbing!" –ouch… Magnus, I don't want to hear his name, why does my chest hurt so badly now, how could something so good turn into this. Before Alec even realized there were tears running down his face, he had to say something "I…ummm, It´s just … ". Isabelle grabbed Alec by the wrist as her facial expression turn into one of pure anger "When I get my hands of that Warlock! What the hell did he do?" Alec´s mouth opened to answer but no words came out "Never mind, I will take care of this myself!"
Alexander Lightwood could imagine his sister storming into the warlock´s house right now accusing him of anything that came to mind but then she would find out the truth; yeah Magnus was harsh but the stuff Alec did could get him into big trouble.
"No" Alec said in a tone that came out cold even for his ears, "It isn´t any of your business, knowing you, you would just make the situation worse". Looking at her face Alec was hit with guilt, she looked hurt and it was hard too upset her but it did because they are siblings and she wasn't used to Alec being cold to her.
Before he could dwell on it any longer Alec pushed past Isabelle and went to out the front door of the institute before he would have a break down. Outside the building he felt a lot better like a weight has been taken off even if was temporally, when did this place start feeling like a prison? Deciding that he didn't want to skip breakfast Alec started to walk to the only place where he ever eats out; Taki´s Dinner.
Alec strolled into the café and went to sit in his usual seat but he noticed that something was off; it was like everything was in slow motion, the waitress pouring blood into a vampire´s glass, the laughter of the people sitting in the both in front of his seemed to stretch on and his vision started to blur, color's mixed together and he was afraid that he was going to faint, before he could make a scene he turned around to go back out of the front door but his legs buckled underneath him and he knew he was falling to the ground. He didn´t, instead he felt someone catch him and hold him close, Alec first thought was Magnus -Please don't let it be him, he can´t see me like this after only one day, it´s pathetic- as he lost all senses and passed out.
He had yet to open his eyes but he knew that he was sitting down on the damp ground and that his knees were tucked up to his chest, his head and back were leaning against what he would guess is a wall. He opened his eyes to find a pair of green ones inches away from him; it scared him since this person was so close he couldn't see anything beyond his eyes but they somehow entranced him, he couldn't help but think how beautiful they were, they reminded him of the bright green grass of his home country Idris.
The man was chanting something in what sounded like Latin but he couldn't make out the words, he stopped and then leaned back so he was a normal distance from Alec, he could now see who it was kneeling in front of him. –Blake, why is he here?! Is he really stalking me …..? –
Looking around frantically Alec noted that he was in an alleyway much like the one from yesterday then he moved his eyes back onto Blake who was still in front of him smiling.
"Hello Alexander" he said in a cheery voice with a devious smile - That mouth, smiling at me like he finds the whole situation amusing – Without realizing Alex had a disgusted expression on his face. In response Blake continued talking "On the contrary of what you may think I was actually not stalking you, I was around the area and happened to see you go in Taki´s" – yeah right-
Alec tried to gather his thoughts and work out the situation. Looking at the man there were differences to the one from yesterday, his skin wasn´t as pale and of course his eyes had changed color, also Blake couldn't be a vampire because he was in the sun. He also noticed that he felt a lot better than he has been since the other night, not only physically but mentally as well.
"What did you do?" Alec asked a bit worried "before the chanting…". Blake lifted his hand and put it on Alec´s forehead "Seriously, I fixed your head, I know it´s my fault but I thought since you're a shadow hunter you would at least know how to use an Iratze" then he moved his hand again and put it on Alec´s chest above his heart "And I relived you from your heart ache". At that Alec got scared – Had this guy taken away my feelings for Magnus?- Even if it´s painful now he doesn't want to forget the way he felt when they spent time together, the times when Magnus hugged him, the time where they shared their first kiss ,all those happy memories.
Blake brought him out of his thoughts "Don't worry, love is hard to get rid of, what I did was more like an anti-depressant pill, trust me, It will wear off soon and then you will be begging me for more" he said as he winked at Alec. "Why do you look different?" asked Alec hoping that there was a reason other than that he was imagining things.
"Ah, to clear things up I´ll let you know my secret. I´m a warlock and my special ability is shifting into other species, specifically I´m a shape shifter" he explained as he stood up and offered a hand to Alec who surprisingly accepts. Things started to make more sense now, of what he has heard there has been Warlocks with that ability but it's really rare and is also answers why he can't take over from Camille since he´s not a vampire but that still doesn't explain why he´s interested in Alec.
"Do you know Magnus?" Alec asks timidly.
"I've met him a few times but we have never really got along" said Blake as he shrugged "There's no real reason for it, thought my hatred for him escalated when I found out he dumped you and left you to cry". His comment hit Alec right in the gut "I- that has nothing to with it, why do you care anyway! "
– I feel like he´s hiding something, it wouldn´t surprise me if they had a long history; Him and Magnus - Alec made himself feel sick with that thought, he can´t be dealing with this again trying to figure out problems that go back way before he was even born.
Alec realized that he was looking at his feet and raised his head to look at Blake; he didn't look happy "Don't put me in the middle of your feud" he said quietly to the warlock as the silence stretched between them.
After what felt like ages Blake took a step forward closing in on the gab that increased over time "Alec you have everything to do with it, go out with me?" he asks dead serious with a pained expression scared of the reaction he might get. Alec pushes him backwards as hard as he could "What's wrong with you, I don't even know you!"
In return Blake grabs him by the wrist and pulls him so close that his Alec´s face is on his chest and holds him there "You don't know Magnus either, I bet he didn't tell you anything about his past because he´s too ashamed of it but Alexander I will tell you everything and anything you want to know so just forget him, it's for the better" he urged.
Alec freed himself from the man's embrace and hurried off to the main street, he ran as fast as he could. When he got to a street full of people he felt relieved but that was short lived as he saw him make his way through the crowd not far away, Alec turned away to head in an another direction but unfortunately the warlock caught up and grabbed his shoulder to turned him around forcefully.
Alec was going to protest by saying any curse word that came to mind but before any sound came out of his mouth Blake sealed his over Alec´s in what would be a kiss, unlike all the times Magnus had kissed him gently like he was a precious jewel Blake´s kiss was rough and passionate, he got so lost into the feeling he almost forgot that it was against his will. He started to struggled but Blake only held him tighter in a way that was suffocating; he started to notice the people around him staring and whispering comments about them being in the way of the sidewalk, he was really embarrassed and in a last bid to get the warlock off him he bit his lip and Blake backed off - I haven't even kissed Magnus that way in public before and I guess I probably never will - he thought in frustration.
Alec looked like he was about to cry but then he saw Blake's face "Are you enjoying this with that smug face?!" Alec was fuming. "Hey, I rather be a sadist that a danger to myself" Blake said amused. "Huh, did I say that out loud? I mean sad-ist?" Alec asked concerned. "Yes you did Alexander, yes you did" answered Blake still content.
Magnus was currently double annoyed, first he was annoyed that since breaking up with Alec two days ago there has been no sign of him, he didn't pick up his stuff from the apartment like he told him too and neither has he called like he thought he would but as soon as he thought it Magnus realized there was something wrong with that sentence, he had broken up with him; Alec had every right to cut the warlock out of his life if he chose to. So here Magnus was annoyed at himself for being annoyed at Alec for leaving him after he broke up with him. Magnus was indeed messed up.
"What have I done..."
Must listen too songs.
Perfect - Hedley , around 2:19 from where he says "When you're caught in a lie" and onwards is like its describing the ending of COLS !
Aqualung- Strange And Beautiful , awesome song. I thought this could be Blake singing to Alec.
