Chapter 7:

Magnus had left the room saying he was going to the toilet but 20 minutes later and he still hadn't returned to the relief of Alec, he didn't want to be questioned any longer or kissed by the matter of fact. Thinking of how Magnus suddenly jumped on him reminded him about Blake, how pushy he had been when they first met but the thought sent a happy feeling through Alec unlike what he now feels when he thinks of Magnus –pain- He realized even if they got back together none of their problems will be solved but at the same time if he fell for Blake he would eventually be in the same position. It would have been a perfect time to avoid that after not texting for nearly three days, easy in fact but he realized that the mad conversations they have shared had distracted him from Magnus and hell he needed a distraction right now so he decided to contact him.

Once he got to his room the phone was just where he left it on the side of the bed but the battery was almost flat, looking at the screen to his surprise there was no unread texts; nothing – Had he gotten bored of me? – He thought anxiously. So he quickly typed a text:

Do you want to meet up? Sorry, I was ill.

Magnus had been in a conversation with Isabelle for almost half an hour now and most of it was yelling. Of course she blamed him for what happened to Alec. That he drove him to it even if the demon had nothing to do with him. She demanded that he would "fix things" with the boy wither is was getting back together or just convincing him to move on- Magnus preferred the former-

"Magnus you have to at least stay here will he´s better!" Isabelle argued "What if he has a weird turn again? It's partly your fault!" she said then flipped her hair back to prove her point. After Alec had tried to push him away he felt almost ashamed – Why couldn't I wait at least till he was alright? - He thought. He knew Alec most likely would want space and not to deal the warlocks stupid whims right now so he didn't want to stay the night but Isabelle had a point, he could need a few more pain relief potions as Iratze´s seem out of the question for him now. "I´m going to stay tonight, Izz but then tomorrow I'm going back to my apartment" he proposed thinking it's the right thing to do for now, once Alec is back on his feet then he would apologize, he´s not going to be as low as taking advantages of his weaken state to get him back .

Having his ear pressed to the door Alec heard them arguing but what particularly stuck was how Magnus sounded so desperate to leave -The flower is covered in thorns- went through his head thinking back to the field in his nightmares -Being even near Magnus would only hurt me- so before they would notice Alec was outside the room he turned around and went to the library. There was something about that room that comforted him with its old furnishings and tranquil feeling but the hidden corners also contributed to his like, he could sit in a quiet corner behind a bookshelf for hours and the chance that one of his siblings would even think to look there was slim.

It must have been an hour Alec was there before he slipped his phone out of his pocket, there was still no reply and it was driving him crazy. Suddenly there was a sound of the door creaking open, "Alec?" Magnus´s voice called out, he kept quiet not wanting the warlock to find him and when he heard the door shut again and the eerie silence took over the room once more Alec released a breath he didn't know he was holding. A second latter there were loud footsteps echoing across the floor sending shivers down Alec´s spine, to his disbelief Magnus had obviously not left. He just sat there waiting to the uneatable to happen and a moment latter Magnus turned a corner round a bookshelf and now he was walking rapidly towards him, "Alec" Magnus sighed in relief when he got in front of him and automatically went to touch the boy but then thought better of it, "You should have said where you were going, everyone's worried sick" he told Alec.

Alec felt empty and indifferent to Magnus´s words and doubted that anyone was actually worried about his whereabouts. "I'm still in this institute, am I not? Alec asked aspirated and then from the silence Magnus didn't seem to have an answer, "Then there's no problem" he added in before standing up to walk out of the library hoping that Magnus would just stay put but he followed alongside and then even opened the door for him witch wasn't really appreciated since he didn't wanted to be treated like he was fragile. He tried to walk as fast as possible down the hall towards the main exit feeling trapped as Magnus had no problem keeping up, "Can't you leave me fucking alone" Alec muttered agitated then suddenly Magnus´s hand grabbed his. The warmth of it reminded him of how cold he actually felt and the next second his other hand was pressed against Alec´s forehead "You look really pale right now and your freezing, babe. Just let me help you and then I promise I will leave you alone" Magnus tried to comfort then lead Alec to his room where he lit the fireplace with a click of his fingers and then with another click a flask appeared in his hands witch he handed over to Alec.

The flask was hot to touch and opening the top revealed that the liquid it contained smelt disgusting, Alec knew it was too much to hope that it would taste any better. "I guarantee it will make you feel much better despite how it smells" Magnus reassured and then Alec tried to gulp it down before he could think about the flavour. After that it seemed that it was already getting late so Magnus left but not before saying that he would be in the guest room next to his if he needed anything. From then on began what felt like his longest night, he could not sleep and didn't want to, he even didn't want to be in his room right now, to him it felt like he was almost asking to fall into a never ending nightmare going to bed only a day after in the same place. Looking for a distraction Alec took his phone out of his pocket but found still no messages, the thought of Blake invaded his mind, he kept thinking of different scenarios as to why he hasn't text back and none of them were good.

The clock rang telling him that is was now midnight; Alec didn't just want to lie there anymore and had been thinking about Blake the whole night to the point where he decided that he was going to find him. He worked out that Magnus would probably leave before he would have to see him again so he wrote a quick note in case one of his siblings decides to check on him. Alec hushed by the room where Magnus was resting as quiet as possible and got to the main door of the institute, looking around the floor he noticed something was missing "Where are my shoes?" he mumbled to himself and then span around when he realised someone was watching, "I know you want to escape man but even if you hate me right now it's for your own good" Jace declared standing a few steps away. Alec knew if he fought with him right now he would end up losing so he pretended to give in "You win, I'll stay. Thought I don't understand why you even care when you're so self-centred" Alec accused. "Yeah, your right. I am selfish and the only reason I'm doing this is because I don't want any more problems, not because I care about the state my paratabai is in" Jace announced back. In the end Alec walked back to his room and annoyingly Jace followed behind till he was sure he was in and closed the door. In his room Alec opened his closet and rummaged about in a heap of old clothes till he found some old shoes –I guess they will do- he thought as he slipped them on.

Surprisingly to Alec he managed to find Blake's flat pretty easy remembering where he came from that night he slept over drunk. Alec buzzed the intercom but it didn't seem to be working so then he tried to phone Blake to ask to let him in but just like the texts there was no answer. After looking at the building for a few minutes Alec decided that he could easily climb up using the bricks as supports, he put his foot on the wall but the shoes he was wearing didn't seem to have any grips left and slipped so he took them off and put them behind a plant pot near the buildings entrance and started to climb once again. Alec somehow managed to get to Blake´s bedroom window. Because he still hadn't fully recovered upon landing he tripped and accidently knocked over a tall lamp witch mostly consisted of glass. It smashed into little pieces and before he knew it the door to the room opened revealing a shocked Blake. The lights were off in the bedroom so he was pretty sure he couldn't see that it was him witch was a disadvantage on his part, Alec took a step forward to find that stupidly he had stood right into the broken glass and now tiny pieces were stuck in his feet. "Shit" he cursed feeling kind of foolish but really the pain was almost nonsexist compared to what he had experienced. "Alec?" Blake asked unsure, - Could he tell just by my voice? - Alec thought. He wasn't sure what to say and to really explain why he was there; he just knew he needed someone like him right now.

Blake took the silence as a confirmation that is was indeed Alec standing there and trusting his instincts he walked over to the boy so they were inches away, now he defiantly knew he was correct as he could see his face in the dark, his messy hair and round eyes but there was something about them that seemed different and there was also a tension he couldn't explain accumulating between them in the room. "What do you wa-"Blake said and got cut off by Alec smashing his mouth over his own. The kiss was sloppy but urgent and all Blake's initial thoughts went out the window as quickly as Alec came in as he started to kiss back and tangle his hands into his floppy hair. Blake didn't want to let him go and held on to him tightly as their tongues explored each overs mouths, -What's gotten in to him? – He thought then Alec pulled away and Blake realized that he was breathing really heavily but he still didn't want it to stop so he reached out to grab him once more before he changed his mind. "Don't" Alec ordered in a way that made Blake hesitate, "I need you now" the shadow hunter uttered and then pushed him forcibly on the bed.

Alec landed on top of the warlock and soon his hands were under Blake´s shirt feeling his body, Alec´s mouth met his again kissing him sweetly but still with the same urgency as before. Not wanting to be outdone Blake put his legs around the boys waist then with one movement flipped them so now he was the one on top of him, "That's better" he joked as he looked down at Alec who now seemed to be more self-aware, "Blake" he pleaded "I… you, let's try" he said hopefully with a red face. "Changed your mind, have you?" Blake asked looking into his eyes then proceeded to bite his neck in a way that hurt but Alec tiled his head back as if asking for more. "AHH" he moaned as Blake nibbled some more on his neck, "Blake" he panted "our clothes". Alec sat up and Blake quickly pulled Alec´s t. shirt over the boys head as he took his pants off then went to take off his own shirt.

Blake then trailed kisses down his stomach and planted more on his legs till he reached his feet where there was blood from the glass, "the fuck Alec!" he swore and then got off the bed to turn the light on to see the state his feet wear actually in. There was blood all over his bed and the pieces of glass sticking looked all too painful – huh, why does it bovver me so much? - He thought and returned to the end of the bed to inspect it more closely. Looking at the shadow hunter he seemed ashamed "Sorry, I kind of forgot" he admitted, "Alec, people forget to pick up their keys; that's normal but forgetting that there is fucking glass stuck in your feet is something else" Blake fretted.

When he next woke it was already morning and he so relived he had no nightmares. Alec didn't know himself what possessed him to go to Blake´s house but he was glad he did thinking back to last night, how they continued after Blake insisted on treating his feet. He turned around in the bed to find that Blake was awake looking at the ceiling, after a while of silence Alec started to talk. "I was just wondering, what is your demon mark?" he asked curiously. "Believe it or not but it's actually my hair" Blake replied amusingly seeing the funny disbelieved look on Alec´s face, "Hair seems like a pretty good deal, huh? Nowadays it's easy because people think I dyed it but say in the Victorian edge I had to wear a wig or be bald over wise they thought I was the devil" he laughed.

Thinking of evil Alec said "You know the demons we fought? Did you think something was off about them?" he asked. Blake was taken aback by his question and didn't think Alec was the type who would use people and suddenly felt really hurt; It made sense now – Is he just using me to investigate for him while he´s really with Magnus? – He thought. "Why would I do that Alec when you're not right for me and never will be? "He retorted venomously. "Huh, what's wrong?" Alec asked worriedly. Blake grabbed his mobile off the bedside table, found the text and tossed his phone to Alec. Alec looked down at the screen to see a text what he had apparently sent and felt so angry, - What right does he have to do this when were not even together anymore! – he thought but then realized what Blake must be thinking and quickly intervened hoping that his ex-hadn't ruined his second chance "The text you got from me; it wasn't. I didn't send it, at that time I was asleep. Magnus must have sent it!" he panicked. "Why would he be near your phone or you?" Blake asked hurt. "The demons, something was different about them. Because of the scratch I got while fighting I went into a comma for two days so my family had no choice but to call Magnus" he explained.

Magnus woke up the next morning in the institute's bed and quickly got changed to leave before he was forced to stay for breakfast knowing that Alec would want the space but he couldn't help but worry thinking that Alec might have had gotten worse in the night so when he was about to leave he cautiously opened his door a crack to look in and found to his dread that the boy was no longer there.

His bed was empty.

He had gone.

Thanks for reading this chapter ! I love to hear your opinions. What should Magnus do? Who should Alec choose and who is better for him? More smexy scenes? more Romantic ones? Ideas for how the story should continue?
