Hi friends! Thank you so much for reading this story. On with the next chapter. Sorry for mistakes.
Enjoy :-)))
"I'm going in again tomorrow"
"You can do that?" asked Izzy eyes shinning with hope. Magnus nodded but looked at his friend for confirmation "I can go back again right?"
Cat got up from the chair "Can I talk to you...alone" Magnus asked her to follow to the next room. Catarina closed the door and eyed her friend suspiciously. "What?" asked Magnus
"Nothing" shrugged Cat "You seem to be overly concerned about the boy"
"I'm just trying to help"
"We just got attacked by a bunch of shadowhunters. Our people will soon find out about this. And you still want to help?" Cat frowned but when Magnus didn't reply it finally dawned to her "You've started to like him. Am I right? That's why you're willing to risk a war between downworlders and shadowhunters"
"No such thing is going to happen. I'll help Alexander and then we part ways" Magnus didn't like a bit how that sounded but he had to convince Cat to let him go back again in Alec's dream. Cat scoffed in response "You don't fool me Magnus. We've been friends for centuries. The boy is making you weak"
"Catarina I'm going to do this with or without your help but it would be highly appreciated if I've a trustworthy friend beside me" Magnus said firmly leaving no room for argument. Cat sighed in defeat "Fine. You very well know I won't leave you Magnus. You used our friendship card and it's cheating"
"All's fair in love and war" muttered Magnus
"What did you say?"
"Nothing" Magnus smiled and walked out of the room hoping his friend didn't hear him. As soon as he entered Jace got up from his place "What's going on?"
"Everything is under control. Since this potion can be used once in a day, I'll be only able to go tomorrow" said Magnus "Until then you both can stay here. I'll arrange rooms for you"
"Thank you Magnus"
NEXT DAY
Magnus woke up early morning as he barely slept last night. He had taken many cases before and never dissapointed his clients. But Alec's case was a huge responsibility. He could have easily backed off but something held him. He liked being around Alec. He liked to feel his presence and if he was lucky maybe he could see him smile one day. Huh...does he even know there is a thing called smile?
Magnus entered in his room which for now was Alec's room and saw Jace and his sister sleeping down near the bed. A fond smile appeared on his face. He admired the strong bond between the siblings. Magnus hoped he wouldn't disappoint them. He cleared his throat to draw their attention "Good morning"
Jace yawned stretching his back and Izzy rubbed her sleepy eyes "You're early"
"So are you. Why didn't you both sleep in your rooms?"
"We were worried about Alec. After what Mom tried to do...we couldn't leave him alone" said Izzy
"Nobody can enter my apartment. I've placed the wards"
"We trust you Magnus. It's just..." Izzy drawled off not knowing how to express her worry
"I can understand. Since we are up why not we get down to business. I'll go wake Cat" Magnus walked out to call his friend.

Magnus laid beside Alec and held his hand in his "I'm coming Alexander" Cat poured few drops of the potion and saw Magnus fall asleep within seconds. She then turned around "Now we wait"
ALEC'S DREAM
Alec ran from one room to another. He searched the whole building twice mentally praying to all angels above that he would find Magnus again. He was bone tired and heart broken when he couldn't find the man. Just like before Alec stopped in one room and slumped on the floor. The fact that now he knows this was a dream scared him even more. According to Magnus his only way out was a true love's kiss
Alec laughed bitterly at himself. True love? Does he even know the meaning of those words? Does he even know what love is? As far as he knows there was a time when he had some...confusing feelings for Jace but soon it turned out nothing more than a teenage crush. Now Alec didn't feel anything for anyone. Does that mean he was going to die? In a dream wondering around from one room to another
"Alexander"
Alec's breath hitched at the voice. He didn't have to look this time to know it was Magnus. It was Magnus right or was his ears ringing. The voice called out again "Alexander I'm here"
Alec sprang upright, eyes shinning with happy tears "Magnus! You came...you actually came" he ran towards the older man and without thinking he hugged him. Magnus felt the wind knocked out of him but smiled and hugged Alec back. Few seconds later Alec abruptly pulled back "I'm sorry"
Magnus straightened his clothes who still seemed to be panting "Alexander why don't you stay on the first floor" he coughed a little "I'm not use to do hard work and my powers are not working in here"
"Oh...I'm sorry. I was searching for you. I lost track of the floor" said Alec in low voice. The warlock took a deep breath to calm his racing heart. In a attempt to find Alec sooner, Magnus ran like he had hot coals in his shoes. Finally he found the boy in twenty sixth floor "Alexander let's sit down. We need to talk"
Magnus and Alec sat with their backs against the wall "How is Jace and Izzy doing?" asked Alec breaking the silence "My parents...they must be mad right? I'm surprised they let you come into my dreams"
Magnus debated on telling Alec the truth. He knew the boy would be devastated when he came to know what his parents were actually going to do. He checked his watch and was glad to know be still had more than an hour left "Well Jace and Izzy are very worried about you. They love you Alexander"
Alec had a smile on his face. Okay so he does have a killer smile, thought Magnus which warmed his heart "When Lydia kissed you they..."
"WHAT!?"
"Um...so yeah..let's talk what happened in last two days"
"Why did that snob kiss me?" Alec vigorously wiped his lips feeling disgusted
"Your father thought you both liked each other"
"By the Angel"
"The good news is Jace and Izzy stopped her from doing it twice"
Alec's eyes widened "TWICE?!"
"They were the one who told you like boys"
Alec hid his face with his palms
"There's more Alexander"
Alec looked up "More?"
Magnus smiled nervously "Ah...Isabelle...she told.. "
"What did she say Magnus?"
"You once liked...Jace"
"No" Alec whispered in horror "No...she wouldn't" how could Izzy do this to him. She promised him she would never talk about it to anyone. Suddenly another terrifying thought crossed his mind "Magnus...did you guys make Jace...did he..?"
Magnus could only nod
Alec closed his eyes feeling utterly embarrassed and ashamed. Jace knew! His brother...his parabatai knew he once had feelings for him and he kissed him? no.. everything is so wrong about the situation. This was not suppose to happen. Jace was not going to forgive him. How in the world will he ever be able to face him "I can't believe Izzy told him"
"She was desperate Alexander. You can't blame her and nothing happened. You're still sleeping right..no one is mad at you" Magnus assured him but tears still leaked from Alec's eyes
Magnus not knowing what to say let Alec cry for a while. When Alec calmed down to soft hicups, Magnus spoke again "So...is it right time to say that a guy name Raj also tried to wake you up"
Temporary forgetting about Jace, Alec openly gaped at Magnus "RAJ? HE KISSED ME?!"
"I knew it!" Magnus claimed happily "I knew you didn't like him. We both have same taste in men" he said playfully
Alec stared at Magnus but he couldn't stop himself from bursting into giggle which was soon joined by the warlock. When both were done Alec looked at his side "Please tell me there was no one else"
Magnus sighed "That's the list" he checked the time. Half an hour was still there "Anyways we all are waiting for a name Alexander. Your brother and sister barely slept last night even though I tried to be nice host"
"Host? What do you mean?"
Magnus winced at the question. He still had one more bomb to drop "You all are in my loft" Alec frowned "Your loft? Why? What happened to the institute? Was there an attack? Are Jack and Izzy okay? What about my parents?"
Magnus's heart ached. He didn't want Alec to know what his parents were going to do but he also couldn't hide the truth. He pursed his lips and spoke "Maryse Lightwood wanted to send you to Idris"
"What?"
