Alec POV

And there he was. Alec had seen the boy few times since that day twelve years ago. He saw him on his few visits to the institute, and even once on a mission, though Alec wasn't going to interrupt his demon slaying.

Yet here he was, propped up in a large chair, his tanned face blanched and beaded with perspiration.

"What happened?" Alec asked nobody in particular.

"He was stung by a Raum demon. It went in too deep for a healing rune to fix it. Can you help?" This came from a women that was staring worried at the boy, no man. Magnus.

"Dont worry, dear, I'll have him patched up in no time. Perhaps we could move him to his room? He will need to be in a bed to make this easier." The women nodded, then she and the other man worked together to pick up Magnus. Together they carried him to what Alec supposed was his bedroom, him following closely behind.

"May I asked your names?"

"I'm Catarina, and this is Raphael."

"Well, Catarina, Raphael, thank you for your assistance. If you would mind vacating the room, I work better in silence. They nodded and left.

"Oh dear, must you get yourself into trouble, Magnus?" Alec signed and got to work. He softly slid Magnus' shirt off, silently wondering why the shadow hunter was not wearing his gear on a mission. He let his eyes widen slightly at the sight of Magnus' caramel, rune covered chest. Nobody would see him. He gently turned the tanned man over so he could get access to the wound. When he saw it he grimace. It had turned an unpleasant colour, a mix of violet and some rather disturbing shades of yellow. He rubbed his hands together, causing them to spark with blue magic. He then ran them over the wound, never quite touching it. Magnus groaned beneath his hands but Alec kept going. He waved his hands over the affected area until the disgusting colour had completely retreated. He removed his hands and gently turned the man back over, figuring it would be unpleasant to wake up facedown.

Alec stayed with the sleeping man, seeing no reason to leave. After a few hours, Magnus stirred and Alec sat up from his slouched position of the chair looking over Magnus' bed. Magnus groaned again and cracked his eyes open slowly. The widened even further when he saw Alec, a vauge look of recognition in his tired golden green eyes.

"Wha... what happened?" He croaked.

"You were stung by a demon, I was just called in to help heal you."

"Why did you stay?" Magnus asked, wincing slightly from pain. What do I say? If I say I had nothing better to do, I will sound sad and boring. If I say I like watching you sleep, I'll sound like a creep.

"I wanted to make sure you were fine when you woke up." he replied.

"Th...thanks I guess."

"'S okay, its my job, after all."

Just then the women from before, Catarina, entered the room. She squealed when she saw a conscious Magnus, then went in and hugged him. All Magnus did was smirk and give the women an awkward pat on the back.

I guess I should leave then. Alec got up and silently slipped out of the room. Little did he know the man he just healed was going to be occupying his thoughts for quite some time.

Aaaannnddd... done. With the chapter. Yay! Review please.
