Hi friends! Back with next chapter. Thank you so much for reading this story.

Sorry for mistakes

Enjoy :-)))

Alec tucked Max under the covers and switched off the lamp, not uttering a single word. Max kept apologising again and again but Alec ignored every single time. He knew this mistake was not to be forgiven so easily. He didn't know Max was even capable of this kind of mischiefs. If he was old enough to create problems then he should also be ready to face the punishment. He will talk to his son in the morning and decide what to do next

When Alec left the room, Max sat upright. He was feeling so scared and lonely. He hated when Alec was mad at him and the boy wished he had never lied and caused trouble to his father. A dreadful thought crossed his mind and Max shuddered. What if Dad was so mad at him that he sends him far away. What if he doesn't want to be his Dad anymore. Tears fell from his eyes and Max jumped out from his bed. He ran in the hall where he found his father placing his toys in a bag, confirming his doubts

Max crossed the distance in super speed and hugged Alec's legs "Daddy please don't send me away! Please Daddy!" he cried loudly. Alec jerked in surprise when he felt Max's small trembling hands on his legs. He dropped the bag and knelt down to level with his son "Max why are you out of your bed?"

Max again lunched himself and wrapped his arms around Alec's neck "Daddy don't send me away!" Alec tried to pull Max back but the boy only tightened his hold. He was confused at Max's behaviour. Why was his son shaking so much when he didn't even scold him for what he had done. Alec was now worried so he got up from the floor carrying his son. They sat down on the couch where Max was clinging to his father like his life depended on him. Alec rubbed his back "Maxie... baby can you look at me?"

Max shook his head crying "Daddy is mad...he'll send me away" Alec's hands froze on Max's back. His son was thinking he was going to send him away? He gently pried off Max's arms and this time the boy let him. His red puffy eyes broke Alec's heart "Don't cry baby. Listen to me very carefully okay?"

Max nodded wiping his nose with his sleeve. Alec took his small hands in his and smiled "Daddy loves you very much. You're the most important person in my life. Yes I'm upset for what you did but that doesn't mean I'll send you away. You'll stay with me all your life. Got it?"

"Then why are you packing my toys?"

Alec chuckled "I was just placing them back in your room Maxie, like I do all nights" Max sniffed feeling releaved and now started playing with Alec's shirt collar "You can say I love you to Mr Bane again"

Alec scowled at the boy "Max this is between me and Mr Bane. I don't want you to interfere ever again. Do you understand?" Max nodded "Are you still angry?"

"I am but we'll talk about it in the morning. Right now I want you to go to sleep" Alec saw Max give a nod "Goodnight Dad"

"Goodnight Max"

MAGNUS'S HOUSE

"Papa please talk to me" Rafael pleaded for tenth time but Magnus ignored him and pretended to read newspaper. Like Max, Rafael too had gotten out of his room and went to talk to his father. He knew Magnus was really angry with him but he also knew how to convince his father to talk.

Rafael stood infront of Magnus and started doing sit ups while catching his ears "I'm sorry" he repeated every time he sat down and got up "I'm sorry"

Magnus bit his lips trying hard not to break infront of his son. From the corner of his eye he could see Rafael panting when he reached his tenth sit up and couldn't take it anymore "Rafael please stop and go back to your room"

Rafael continued doing sit ups "I'm sorry" again "I'm sorry" again "I'm sorry"

Magnus reached out and held Rafael by his arms. He stared at him with anger but then sighed knowing he wouldn't be able to stay angry for long "Fine. You're forgiven" Rafael threw himself on Magnus's arms "Thank you Papa"

Magnus held his son "I may have forgiven you but that doesn't mean I'm not upset. What you did was wrong" Rafael ducked his head down "I know Papa. Will you talk to Mr Lightwood? You can put all the blame on me"

Magnus raised his finger and warned "This is between me and Mr Lightwood. Don't poke your nose again. Got it?" Rafael nodded "Can you come sleep with me today.. please?" Magnus nodded picking his son and headed towards his room.

NEXT DAY

It was five in the morning and Alec laid wide awake in his bed. He wasn't able to sleep whole night. What was he suppose to do now? After hearing the truth he felt ashamed of his actions. He had yelled and insulted at Magnus infront of everybody. What would Magnus be thinking of him? Didn't he trust him at all? Alec cursed himself again and again for falling into the trap. How could he not see this coming. Sure the boys were friends now but few days back they had to be against their relationship.

Alec's hand reached his cell and he swiped it. His fingers hovered over Magnus's name. Should he call him? But what was he suppose to say? Hi Magnus. Sorry for being such a jerk. Let's get back together. Oh yeah Magnus was so waiting for him to say that. Even if they get back together, would things be same as before. Screw it, thought Alec and pressed the green button

'The number you have dialled is currently busy. Please try again later'

Alec frowned. Who was Magnus talking to early morning. He placed the cell back on the side table. Maybe this was a bad idea.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Magnus tossed and turned whole night and now it was five in the morning. What was he suppose to do? Talk to Alec? He knew it from the start this was nothing but a misunderstanding between them. Yet Alec choose to doubt him. Would things be same if they do get back together. Ofcourse Magnus missed Alec and was still in love with him but now there was an invisible barrier that was blocking him to be with the teacher

Magnus sighed. Rafael said Max was also going to tell the truth to Alec so why didn't he call him. It was his fault that he didn't trust him. He should be the one who has to apologise for hurting him. But then Magnus thought, he too had said bad words to Alec. He could have acted more maturely since this was Alec's first relationship. The dentist took a deep breath and picked up his cell and dialled Alec's number

'The number you have dialled is currently busy. Please try again later'

Magnus frowned. Who was Alec talking to early morning. He placed the cell back on the side table. Maybe this was a bad idea.

FOUR DAYS LATER

The two boys were on the swings when Max spoke to Rafael "Dad is still not talking to Mr Bane and he's always so sad" Rafael nodded "What is wrong with these adults? Why can't they be friends like us" he shook his head in disappointment

"I want Dad to be happy again"

"I want Papa to be happy too..." said Rafael as his eyes widened with mischief "What if we...?" Max immediately shook his head "Oh no Rafael. We're not going to do anything. Dad was so mad at me before"

Rafael jumped off the swings and crossed his arms, glaring at Max "So what? Papa was also mad but I said sorry and now he's okay. We've to make them friends again"

"But.."

"Do you want to see them happy or not?"

"Yeah I do" Max said softly

"So it's done. From now on we make new plans that will get them back together. If they are not going to talk...then we'll make them talk. Deal?"

"Deal but this time we have to be very careful okay. They cannot know our names"

"Duh Max...I know"

NEXT DAY

"Max you're not lying are you?" Alec looked at his son suspiciously who shook his head vigorously and then scrunched his face, holding his right jaw "Aaaawww... Dad It's reeaaaally hurting. Please can we go see Dr Bane" Alec sighed pressing his lips. Max was again complaining about his tooth and he didn't know whether he should take him to Magnus

Magnus who was his...ex boyfriend? No..that definitely didn't sound right. But they haven't talked after their fight and surely now Magnus doesn't want to talk since he hasn't called him after knowing the truth. He was so not ready to face the man he..loved.. no the man he still loves. Alec thought of another solution "How about we got to other dentist. I'm sure there are many more in this town"

Max stamped his feet stubbornly "No! Mr Bane talks to my teeth. He'll see why it's hurting. Please Daddy please"

Alec's mind popped another idea. He quickly dialled Jace's number "Hi Jace. Could you do me a favour and take Max at Magnus's clinic"

What Alec didn't know was Max had already called his uncle and aunt and told them about his and Rafael's plan. The two siblings were immediately onboard as they also felt Magnus and Alec were being nothing but stubborn idiots in love. They tried to be matchmakers between them but Alec strictly asked them not to interfere in his life.

Jace cleared his throat "Sorry Alec. I wouldn't mind taking Max but I've loads of work at my office. My boss will kill me if I take a break. Sorry"

Alec rubbed his hands on his forehead "No that's okay. I'll ask Izzy. Bye" he then dialled Izzy's number

"I'm so sorry Alec but my friend's grandmother just met with an accident. I've to be there with her at the hospital" Izzy tried hard not to giggle

Alec cursed mentally "No it's okay. I'll take Max. See ya" he pressed the red button and looked at Max who was patiently waiting with a smile on his face "So are we going to see Dr Bane?"

Alec forced a nod gulping down the heavy lump "We're going to see Mr Bane"
