Hi guys - sorry I haven't given you a new chapter in a couple of days - Hope you'll like it, hopefully you will get the next one in just a day or two! Please keep letting me know what you think :) )

"Alexander!" his father shouted once again

One - his underlip split

Two - a fist into his stomach
It all happened so fast that he didn't have the time to protect himself…

He woke up with a jerk and sat up in the bed. He stroke his hands over his hair and tensed as he felt a hand on his right shoulder.

"Alexander?" Magnus said and sat up as well "Are you okay?"

Alec leaned in and kissed him while he closed his eyes

"Yes,just a bad dream. You go back to sleep…"

They laid down together again, Alec resting his head on Magnus chest - he wanted to tell Magnus but he didn't know how or when.
It was all coming back to him now and he really didn't like the feeling of going back home tomorrow.

"I love you Magnus" he whispered and kissed his chest

He could feel the Warlock smile as he stopped breathing for one second before he kissed his head.

"And I love you"

In the morning Magnus woke him up with a kiss on his cheek before it went down to his neck and stomach. Alec moaned and smiled as he turned his head towards Magnus

"Well good morning to you too"

Magnus smiled back at first before he suddenly exclaimed

"Alec, what happened to your eye?"

Fuck. Alec quickly looked away, trying to come up with something to say.

"Huh? Oh, nothing - Jace accidentally hit me with this elbow and, you know, while we were practicing, so yeah…"

"Hm" the Warlock mumbled

Should he tell him now? Was this the moment he'd been waiting for? No, he'd already made up that it was Jace and since they did practice fighting demons it didn't sound weird. Magnus knew that he always got bruises and stuff when they were out.

"Hey" Alec moved closer "You give me bruises too sometimes" he smiled and kissed him on the mouth

"That's because of that stamina rune of yours" Magnus replied

"I thought you liked that" Alec laughed and looked at him, pouting his lips looking like a puppy - he knew Magnus couldn't resist that.
He was right.

"...I do." The Warlock bit his lips before he touched Alec's cheek, looking him in the eyes.

"Lucky for you, it looks kind of hot"
