Alec's POV
Alec walked out of the school grounds with Magnus, each step hurt he just wanted to lay down and die.
"Alec are you okay?" Magnus asked.
"No" Alec whispered, he tried wiping away the tears that were falling but it hurt to lift his arms.
"I'm so sorry for not sticking up for you" Magnus said as they walked down the footpath, towards his house.
He's not sorry, the little voice said, he's lying.
"I feel like such a jerk, I understand if you're mad at me and you don't want to talk to me" Magnus said.
"It's okay" Alec said.
But it's not okay is it? The little voice asked, you think Magnus didn't stick up for you because he doesn't like you.
No! Alec defended, I don't think that at all.
You do… the little voice said.
Alec was about to say something back to the little voice but he tripped over something on the pavement, he hit the ground hard. He tried getting back up, but he couldn't it hurt too much.
He felt arms wrapped around him and pull him up off the ground, "Are you okay?" Magnus asked, Alec could hear the concern in his voice.
It's not concern, the little voice said, t's pity.
"Do you want me to carry you or something?" Magnus asked.
Alec looked up to see if Magnus was joking or something but Magnus's eyes only showed seriousness.
Alec shook his head, trying to ignore the pain, "I'm fine, I'm used to walking around like this."
"You shouldn't be used to walking around injured" Magnus whispered, Magnus picked Alec up off the ground.
"What are you doing?" Alec asked, confused as to why Magnus was still holding him.
"I'm going to carry you" Magnus said, he started to walk home, while carrying Alec bridal style.
"No you don't have to carry me" Alec said, "put me down I can walk myself."
"Shhh" Magnus said, "I'm carrying you the rest of the way home, it's not that hard to do, you're really light."
"Just put me down Magnus" Alec said, trying to get out of Magnus's arms but he stopped trying when the pain became too much, "why are we walking home anyway?"
"Because we can walk home and I'm pretty sure that mum wouldn't be able to pick us up" Magnus said, "because she was late for work and her boss probably wouldn't let her get out until like midnight or something…"
"Okay" Alec said, "Now can you please put me down, I don't like being carried, it makes me feel like a girl."
"Is it because I'm carrying you bridal style?" Magnus asked, "I can carry you a different way if you'd like... so you don't feel like a girl or anything…"
"Just put me down Magnus" Alec said, seriously.
"Fine!" Magnus sighed, "But just for the record you would make a very pretty girl."
Alec rolled his eyes and when Magnus stopped walking he slipped down, out of Magnus's hold, and straightened his shirt a little, ignoring the pain, and started to walk in the direction where he thinks home would be.
"Alec" Magnus said, walking beside him, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Magnus" Alec said, looking down at the concrete pavement, "like I told you I'm used to it all."
"Not physically, I already know the answer to that one." Magnus said, "I want to know if you're okay mentally."
"I'm fine Magnus" Alec said, not looking at the cat eyed boy beside him.
"Okay" Magnus said, "Can we talk about what happened when we get home?" Magnus asked.
"I don't want to" Alec said, walking a bit faster ignoring the pain shooting.
"Okay, we don't have to talk about it" Magnus said, jogging up next to Alec, "just slow down you'll hurt yourself more."
Maybe you want to hurt yourself… the little voice said.
Alec shook his head to get rid of the voice and almost tripped over again if it wasn't for Magnus's strong arms keeping him from falling.
"Are you okay?" Magnus asked.
Alec nodded, "Can we just get home or something."
You're the one that keeps falling over like a dork… the little voice said.
"Sure let's go" Magnus said.
The rest of the walk home was quiet, Alec kept feeling worse and worse during the walk and it was getting harder to ignore the pain shooting through his body each time he took a step or breathed in. Magnus was beside him the whole time, holding onto him and making sure that he didn't fall over and hurt himself even more.
Alec was glad that Magnus was helping him because one: he didn't know the way home and two: if Magnus wasn't there with him, making sure he didn't collapse or fall flat on the ground, he probably wouldn't have made it home.
Magnus opened the front door to the house and Alec followed him inside. They walked into the lounge room and Alec sat down.
"Take off your shirt" Magnus said.
"What? Why?" Alec asked, confused as to why he had to take off his shirt.
"I want to see if I could help like clean the cuts or like see what I could do to help the bruises hurt less" Magnus said, "I just want to help you."
"You don't have to" Alec said, "I'm fine."
Alec had to hide the small smile that was threatening to climb onto his face, he was happy and surprised that someone wanted to help him. Nobody had ever wanted to help him, not even his siblings, but they had a good reason not to help him though…
"Alexander" Magnus said, clapping his hands in front of Alec's face, "Alec!"
Alec blinked, "sorry, I zoned out."
"That's okay" Magnus said, sitting down next to Alec.
"So ... um… what are we going to do?" Alec asked.
"Well" Magnus said "we could watch a movie, we could cuddle, we could play doctor…"
Alec rolled his eyes, "let's just watch a movie Magnus" he said.
"what movie do you want to watch?" Magnus asked.
"I don't know I haven't seen a movie before" Alec said, He felt the heat creep up onto his cheeks.
"You haven't seen a movie?!" Magnus asked.
"Yeah…" Alec said feeling embarrassed.
"Really?" Magnus asked, "you haven't seen any movie, not even before you went to the orphanage?"
Alec nodded, "I never really watched movies when my parents were still alive, I spent most of my time reading and spending time with my family."
"Well then" Magnus said, getting up off the couch, "you pick out a movie and we'll watch it." Magnus pointed to a cabinet next to the television, "there in there" Magnus started walking out of the room.
"We can't watch a movie without popcorn" Magnus answered, walking out of the room
Alec got off the couch and sat down in front of the cabinet. He opened the door and saw hundreds of movie titles. He looked through them for a little while until his eyes landed on a movie title that looked familiar, the Lion King. Alec pulled it out and walked back to the couch and sat down just as Magnus walked back in with a large bowl filled with popcorn.
"What movie did you pick out" Magnus asked.
Alec showed him the movie and Magnus smiled "What made you pick that one?" Magnus asked.
"I remember Isabelle talking about it when she was five… she said it was good" Alec said.
"Alright then" Magnus place the popcorn down on the table and grabbed the movie from Alec's had and went over to the television and popped the DVD into the DVD player and hit play.
Magnus sat down next to Alec and Alec leaned onto Magnus. Alec saw Magnus smile a little and He felt Magnus's arms wrap around him and Alec watched as the beginning credits started.
They watched the movie in silence, well kind of, the only noises that were heard was the eating of popcorn and Magnus humming along to the songs.
When the movie finished Magnus got up and turned off the TV.
"So what did you think?" Magnus asked, "did you like the movie or not?"
"Well because it's the first movie I've seen I would have to say it's the greatest movie I've ever seen" Alec said, smiling a little.
"That's good" Magnus said.
Alec watched and Magnus walked back over and sat down next to him, "we have about three or four hours until someone gets home" Magnus said, "what do you want to do now?"
"I don't really mind" Alec said.
Magnus leaned down and kissed Alec on the lips. Alec's eyes widened at the random kiss but he didn't protest or push Magnus off him, he slipped his eyes shut and kissed back. The kiss started off gentle and sweet but it escalated quickly.
"Ow…" Alec mumbled.
Magnus pulled back, "that has to be the second time you've said ow when we've kissed" Magnus stated, "I'm starting to think I should wait until you're injury free so I can kiss you."
Alec smiled, "sorry."
"No need to apologise, Alec" Magnus whispered, "you're hurt and I'm obviously making it worse."
"You might be making it better" Alec whispered, shyly.
Magnus smiled and captured Alec's lips again.
"What's going on here?" A male voice asked from the entry way.
Alec jumped away from Magnus and looked towards the lounge room's entry, Jeffery was standing there.
Shit! Alec thought as the little voice started laughing.
"Dad" Magnus started, getting up from the couch and walking over to his father.
Jeffery held up a hand "I get a call from school telling me that Alec got hurt, again, so you brought him home and when I get here to check up on you two I see you kissing!" Jeffery yelled, "Explain this all to me now!"
"Well, you see Alec and I are sort of together but not together" Magnus said, "we're figuring that out on Friday."
"How are you figuring out your togetherness on Friday?" Jeffery asked, his face turning red with rage.
"Well I'm taking him out on a date" Magnus said.
"That's not happening" Jeffery said coldly, "you two are meant to be brothers not boyfriends, I'm calling your mother and telling her about all this."
"She already knows" Magnus said.
"What?!" Jeffery yelled. Alec flinched at Jeffery's tone, he remembered all the times a care taker or childless parents looking to adopted would use that tone.
"Mum already knows, in fact she supports it all" Magnus said.
"She knows!" Jeffery yelled, Jeffery kept yelling things but Alec stopped listening it was all too much.
This is my fault Alec thought, if I just said no to Magnus they wouldn't be getting yelled at.
"Alexander!" Jeffery yelled, snapping Alec's attention back to him.
"Yes?" Alec asked
"Go to your room" Jeffery said pointing at the doorway, "I'll talk to you after I call Vicky."
"Dad, don't yell at Alec it was my fault" Magnus said.
"Shush Magnus" Jeffery said, "Alec go upstairs and I want whatever is going on between you to stop there's no date on Friday."
"Dad!" Magnus whined.
Jeffery held up a hand silencing Magnus "Go upstairs Alec."
Alec nodded and ran out of the room, ignoring the pain shooting through his body, he slammed his bedroom door shut and slid down the door, with his hands in his hair.
My fault, my fault, my fault, Alec kept think over and over.
You always screw things up Alec, the little voice said.
So yeah this chapter wasn't meant to end up like this but it ended up like this so um yeah...
review and tell me what you think about it all thanks :)
