magnus and alec + “don’t cry”

It’s one of the longest days Magnus can remember having had in years.

By the time they get back to the loft, he’s lost track of how many hours have passed. There’s so much still to do — so many bodies to bury, so many people to mourn, so many questions that need answering — but both he and Alec are exhausted. They’re not much good to anyone right now.

The portal closes behind them. Magnus takes a step forward to get to his drinks cabinet; the physicality of the action of pouring a drink will soak up some of the energy still fizzing through him. It needs a steady hand and a moment of concentration, and it’s a welcome distraction — however temporary — from thinking about the horrors that transpired at the Institute the night before.

Alec follows him immediately, still holding Magnus’ hand, their fingertips just brushing. When Magnus pulls away, just to take the stopper off the decanter of whiskey, he feels gentle hands brush against his lower back and slide around his middle until they lace together just over his belly button. Alec stands behind him, chest plastered to Magnus’ back, and rests his forehead against Magnus’ shoulder.

“Do you want anything?” Magnus asks, pouring himself some of the whiskey. Alec shakes his head.

“I just want to be close to you,” Alec mumbles against Magnus’ jacket. 

The words are raw with unspoken pain but tender, too, and Magnus lets himself sink back against Alec, both of them finding comfort in touch.

They make their way to the couch, Alec never letting go of Magnus’ hand. He sits beside him, alternating between clasping one of Magnus’ hands in both of his own and cupping Magnus’ face. All the while his eyes never leave Magnus’, just drinking him in.

“I’m here,” Magnus says softly. “We’re here.”

Alec swallows visibly and nods. “I know.”

Magnus puts his glass down and pulls Alec to him, wrapping his arms around him tightly. The tension in Alec’s frame bleeds out of him almost immediately and he buries his face against Magnus’ neck.

“I was so scared,” he says, voice muffled. “I thought — I —”

“Hey,” Magnus says soothingly, stroking Alec’s hair, his fingers curling through the dark strands. He shushes Alec quietly, not realising Alec is crying until he feels warm tears on his neck. “Don’t cry. I’ve got you.”

Alec clutches tighter at Magnus’ jacket, his words pouring out of him in a rush of overwhelming emotion. “I couldn’t find you, I couldn’t see you anywhere and I — I know you’re here but I feel like the minute I let you go, you’ll disappear, and I’ll wake up to a world without you in it.”

Magnus’ heart breaks at Alec’s words. He disentangles himself from Alec just enough so he can hold Alec’s face in his hands, looking right at him when he speaks. He hopes Alec can hear the sincerity in his voice.

“I promise I’m here,” Magnus says. “This is real.” He strokes his thumb along Alec’s cheekbone, Alec’s tear-damp eyelashes fluttering closed at the touch. “When I found you outside the Institute, I can’t begin to explain the relief I felt. Knowing you were safe, it meant everything.”

Alec opens his eyes and his lips curve up into a small, sad smile.

Magnus tips his head forward to rest against Alec’s. “I love you,” he says.

“I love you, too.”

Just to input something: a couple months ago people were freaking out about Harry's IMDB page bc his contract to sh said 2017 but the others said 2018 so fans were worried that Magnus was gonna die, but then in a FB live Matt was asked about a character death and he said that we should do our research, see if anyone had signed onto new projects, even mentioned IMDB (i think). So I just think its interesting that kind of the same thing is happening now?

This has nothing to do with IMDB. 

And one more time: just because the TV Time app changed the date doesn’t mean it’s confirmed the show will air in January. Wait until Freeform confirms or deny, or the app itself says it was a mistake.
