Chapter Two – The Other Side
He regretted the words as soon as they fell from his lips. 'What did I say?' he thought staring at the floor, not daring to face Alec for a moment. He didn't want him to go, but he couldn't keep fighting anymore… He was scared things might get too ugly and someone might say something they'll regret. And while trying to prevent that, he accidentally did it himself. Of course he only meant for Alec to go clear his head, but as soon as he said the words he realised how ugly they sounded and wished to take them back.
Before he could though, Alec whispered; "If that's what you want…" and Magnus felt his heart constrict. He knew him well enough to hear the crack in his voice no matter how much he tried to conceal it.
He finally looked up at Alec needing to see him, and his hand reached out towards the boy on its own accord, as he whispered, trying to explain; "No, Alec, wait, I didn't…" But the Nephilim wasn't listening to him anymore and from the way he was looking at him, Magnus realised he wasn't really seeing him. He was staring at him frozen in place, his sapphire eyes wide and shining, but looking empty, and Magnus could tell from the way he was trying to hide the trembling in his hands and the way he bit his lip drawing blood, that he was on the verge of tears.
'Angel,* I messed up again…' the Warlock thought. A tear fell from the Nephilim's eyes and Magnus gasped. However, before he could get over the shock and the pain he felt knowing he was the reason Alec was crying, and actually do something, the boy shook his head and turned his back on him. The crack in his next words was evident, and Magnus felt the raw pain in Alec's voice shatter his heart. Again he had no time to react, and then the boy was running away, disappearing down the stairs.
*When you live with a Shadowhunter for such a long time, you are bound to pick some expressions up.
Hope you like it! More coming soon! I'm sorry if it's OOC! (My only excuse is that I have a flair for Drama! x'DD)
