Here's the second Chapter guys.
All Character's belong to Cassandra Clare.


Wrapping his arms around himself, Alec glanced up to the taller man's eyes for a brief second before back down to his feet. He had a pretty good idea in his head for what this man wanted from him. Even if his smile was good and pure in Alec's mind the man was still... well a man.

What man picks up a stranger sleeping rough and offers food and a bed without wanting anything in return?

No, the stranger want's something. They all do.

Alec stayed silent as he followed a few steps behind. His eyes were focused on the strangers back where he was wearing a a deep purple leather jacket and as his blue orbs trailed further down he took in the tight, very tight black skinny jeans that clung to the man's ass and legs.

Stop it!

He knew he shouldn't give in to the thoughts. Especially after the scene with his parents and what has happened in the past, but he was only human... a young one at that.

The cold air continued to nip at his pale skin as he followed the slender man up a flight of stairs leading up to different apartments. Finally they stopped and the door was unlocked for Alec to step in first.

His eyes darted about, but could see nothing but darkness until the lights were flicked on and he covered his eyes at the immediate burst of light. Slowly Alec pulled his hands away and took in the colourful room in front of him.

The sofa was a plum like purple with a pink fluffy blanket thrown over the back whilst the two single chairs were cream leather with purple fluffy blankets. If someone had told Alec that a man's living room looked like this he'd laugh thinking they were out of their minds, but seeing it with his own eyes... it strangely worked.

"Do sit down." the soft voice startled him, making him jump slightly as his body tensed. Quickly, Alec turned on his heel to meet the other man's gaze before a wave of dizziness rushed over him. Spots of light clouded his vision before he felt one hand on his waist, the other on the small of his back as he felt his body being lowered to a soft surface.

Blinking a few times, Alec's vision finally came back to him, but he felt drained. More so than before.

"You need to eat." Turning his head, slowly this time, to the voice he watched the taller man walk into what was presumably the kitchen.

Right now Alec couldn't think about what the stranger wanted. No, his mind was focused solely on food and sleep, maybe even a clean.

When did my life get so bad?

Letting his eyes drift around the room Alec picked out a few pictures of the stranger with different people, one or two by himself. A soft sigh left him as he thought back to his siblings and few friends he did have.

What are they doing? Did they look for me?

Alec didn't know and he really wanted to keep it that way knowing if he found out for whatever reason nobody looked for him he would lose himself.

Hearing light padding of footsteps brought Alec's attention back to the real world as he glanced towards the sound. Again the stranger came into view, but this time the leather jacket was gone and in place was a light grey vest that was a size to big an revealed some of the man's chest and he no longer wore his military boots. Instead he walked about bare footed.

"Eat some of this." The older man pressed as he sat next to Alec who was watching him intently. In his hands was a bowl of hot soup. "You need to eat. When was the last time you did?"

That was a tricky question. When was the last time? Last week? Taking the warm bowl and resting it on his lap, Alec lifted the spoon and took a mouthful. The taste of chicken burst on his tongue as well as sweetcorn and a few other vegetables.

"Nice, isn't it? I would say I made it myself, but I can't cook for the life of me." The stranger chuckled before settling back against the back of the sofa and relaxing. It didn't last long before his green-gold eyes widened, "Oh, I completely forgot. My name is Magnus." The smile that followed lit up the mans - Magnus' - face, "And you are?"

After a few more mouthful's, Alec looked up at Magnus with a soft, but empty smile. "I'm Alexander, well Alec." His blue eyes were still weary of the man across from him even as he ate.

"Well, Alexander," Magnus purred as he watched the younger man with his green-gold eyes, "Welcome to my lovely quarters."
