‘ a life that sounds adventurous, i like that.. for my life is one to consider boring, but there is love and as fucking cheesy as that sounds, it makes up for all of it, ’ what he decided to not talk about was that his relationship started to feel fake and unhealthy lately. it still seemed to weird him out, the other calling him by alexander - but at the same time it felt normal. as if he was used to this stranger calling him by that, even though he wasn’t.
a slight bitter tone in the other his voice got alec his eyebrows to raise, slowly turning him self around to just look at him. maybe he had pissed him one way or the other, which only made him want to show himself the exit instantly. no words spoken as he opened the door, ready to walk out as yet something else stopped him. both the feeling of a hand on his shoulder and his heart. something told him how walking away would be a mistake, but the bitter tone in the other his voice from before kept hunting him. offering him a smile soon. ‘ of course, thank you. i will definitely come and look you up some time. ’
“I hear love can make up for many things...” the warlock replied warmly, somehow hoping this was all some nightmare and he’d wake up soon enough with Alec the same as he was before...-he could wish for such. He gave Alec a look, his eyes scanning the shadowhunter for a moment before he pulled himself out of his own mind.
Nodding once, Magnus managed a smile “I look forward to it, Alexander...-” he dropped his hand finally, pressing his lips into a slight frown whilst he looked elsewhere. “You take care of yourself.” It wasn’t a question but a demand of sorts, call it Magnus still being protective over the Shadowhunter but either way-and regardless of what he knew-the warlock would not accept him getting hurt.
