Sorry for any mistakes! Will fix when I can!
Magnus stared at the man in front of him. The man that had somehow claimed his immortal heart and soul, that somehow tore down those carefully built walls he had made to keep that particular feeling from ever clawing it's way back in. Whatever shield he put over his heart had slowly been destroyed by just one person. A shadowhunter by the name of Alec Lightwood.
For years he has kept from falling too deep, from slipping into something he couldn't escape and succeeded. He was able to keep the wall strong and firm. Until now. Magnus could feel them crack and crumble, his thoughts slowly fading into ones of uncertainty, not sure if he should even FEEL. How could someone destroy what he's made to keep from ever loving again? Was it those piercing, hazel eyes that stared into his with an intensity of a blazing fire? Was it his unyielding determination and loyalty to the ones he cared about? Magnus wasn't sure but one thing was for certain, his body froze and his mind shut off as his heart beat sped up. He couldn't avert his attention. His dark orbs held Alec's. For a moment, the room was silent save for his loud heartbeat that he was sure Alec had to hear since his own ears couldn't drown it out.
"Alec." The name left his throat in a soft whisper, a hidden longing for the man he loved.
Alec wouldn't break eye contact. His mouth was formed in a straight line, body straight and still. Sometimes it was hard to read the shadowhunter. His face could hide all the emotions Magnus knew he felt. Whether it was fear, anger, sadness. All of it remained a secret behind a well placed mask and right now the warlock couldn't tell what Alec was thinking. On some occasions it was a blessing, others a curse. He felt for the later because he wanted more than anything to know Alec's thoughts. Even though he had a feeling he knew part of what was going through his mind.
"Alec. I'm sorry. The whole thing was stupid. I should have known it was a trap." Magnus sighed, remembering what happened a few hours ago.
Truthfully, Magnus could still feel the throbbing pain in his side but it was dull enough to be ignored for the most part. He had taken care of the wound well enough for it to be avoidable for awhile. It wasn't that bad and he would heal it later when his magic fully returned. Closing the portal took a substantial amount of magic and left him slightly depleted. When a client came to him enquiring about a job needing done to close a rather nasty portal, Magnus l got straight to it. He didn't think that it was just a trap to try and kill him. The portal was indeed real but it was made by the very client that tricked him. Over three dozen demons later and a fight with his 'client', Magnus closed the portal and summed it up as a job well done. Not without some damage to himself, however.
Alec sighed and rubbed a hand down his face. "You could have died Magnus." He finally spoke, low and with a slight bit of anger mixed into his voice.
Magnus nodded and walked over to his table and easily made himself a cocktail. "But I didn't. Alec, I am the High Warlock. I can't be defeated that easily." He turned back to Alec to find his eyes back on him, his expression different than before, more softer. "How did you...?"
"Izzy. She was there. Said she found you right after you killed the guy." Alec moved, walking up to him in slow strides until he stood directly in front of Magnus. "She saw you get hit." Alec's last statement was harder and his gaze more so. Wiith narrowed eyes, he added, "Where?"
Magnus cursed Alec's sister. He wasn't going to question how or why Izzy was there at the moment but he had hoped to keep his injury a secret until it fully healed. It explained why his love suddenly turned up, worried lines and all. It wasn't bad and didn't need to be made into a big deal but he knew how much Alec worried and not just for him but for everyone he loved and cared about. He supposed that's when his walls started to come down. Alec and his devotion. His love.
Magnus flashed him one of his sassy smiles. "Alexander, I am fine." He assured, placing a hand on Alec's arm and giving him a squeeze.
Magnus made to turn around only for his own arm to be grabbed and he was forced back around to face Alec. The moment he met his boyfriends eyes was the moment he saw how concerned Alec was. Alec was frowning. The grip on his arm wasn't harsh but it definitely wasn't gentle. "Alec?"
He was surprised when Alec pulled him close, bringing their faces inches apart. Their lips barely touched but he could feel hot breath against his. For the second time that day, Magnus could feel the unnatural 'thump' of his fast beating heart. Being so close to Alec always ignited something inside him he couldn't put out. A fire of desire, a spark of electricity, flowed through his veins like lava, torching his insides and bringing his blood to a slow boil. He gripped both of Alec's arms, his breathing speeding up. He didn't know how he was able to contain his desires for the shadowhunter when he was this close to him. He swallowed and before he knew it, he was closing the small distance between their mouths and kissing Alec with more passion than ever before.
Alec kissed back, both engaging in a lip lock that was both demanding and passionate. Magnus's skin tingled with every touch Alec made, from the hand being placed to his neck as Alec deepened the kiss, to the one slowly sliding up his shirt, carressing the skin of his torso. He allowed Alec to guide them backwards, a memory of the very first time they made love entering his mind. A magical night it was. It was the first time he got to truly be one with Alec. A memory he will treasure always.
Magnus felt his back hit the door, stopping their advance into the bedroom. He waited for Alec to grab the knob and open the door. Alec pulled back from the kiss so both of them could catch a breath only to kiss Magnus again once the door was open. He continued to guide Magnus back until his legs hit the end of the bed. Alec slowly pushed Magnus back on the bed before breaking the kiss for a second time. He made short work of the warlocks shirt, easily sliding it over his head. If Magnus was thinking straight, which he wasn't seeing how the only thing on his mind was Alec and wanting to continue, he would have thought about the bandages wrapped firmly around his chest. He did, however, notice Alec's gaze going from his face to those bandages.
Alec's brows furrowed. "So here?" He asked, staring hard at the bloody bandage.
Magnus tilted his head, putting two and two together. "Alexander, how devious." He stated, knowing Alec purposely got him into bed and his shirt off so he can see the damage.
Alec rolled his eyes. "Maybe next time show me." It was stated more than asked. "Wait here. Those need changing." With that said, Alec stood and went to get fresh bandages from the first aid kit Magnus always kept in case of emergencies.
Magnus smirked. "Nurse Alec. I like it." He jibbed, getting a heated look from Alec. "It's not that bad. Really."
"I'll be the judge of that." Alec said before disappearing from Magnus's sight.
I do wonder, when it was, those walls completely crumbled, he thought.
