MALEC MONDAY MINI
“I’m not your pet or a charity project, Magnus.”
Magnus groaned. “I can’t handle this anymore.” He cleared his throat after his voice broke. “Every time I imagine that I’m close to having you trust me a little you put up a new wall and push me away. And I… I’m done.”

“You keep going after those monsters. And there’s never any break from it. No vacations, apparently, no…”
“Magnus.” Alec caressed his face “You know that I’d do anything to make this city safer for you and the boys. And I promise to be as careful as I can doing it”

“It’s still really early, and the boys are asleep.”
Alec’s eyebrow bounced up. “Oh. And how do you propose we take advantage of that… situation?”
Magnus winked. “I’m about to show you. If you’re a really good boy.”
“You know I can never behave myself around you.”

Magnus buried his face to his hands. This can’t be happening… “I was hoping that you’d tell me you’re joking. I can’t believe you’re doing this to us again.”
“Magnus, it’s my job”, Alec tried, as though that would’ve made it all better.
“And we’re your family!”

Alec could feel Jace watching him. “Are you okay?”
Alec nodded firmly. “When I took this job… I swore to myself that I’d fight for as long as I can to stop these monsters.” Now he’d have to figure out a way to explain his decision to Magnus.

Alec’s fingers froze above the scarring. Magnus shivered but didn’t give a negative reaction. Instead the man brushed a strand of hair off Alec’s forehead “What are you thinking about so hard?”
Alec swallowed “You’re amazing. To still shine that light, after everything”

Magnus groaned. “If something has an impact on how you act around me, and the boys…”
“I can’t talk about it”, Alec half-snapped, frustrated. “It’s confidential. And you three… You’re innocent. I want to keep you as far away from that ugly world as possible.”

Magnus’ eyes held a mixture of fire and tenderness. “You’re so tense from holding back and trying to stay in control you can barely breathe. I’m helping you let go and forget about everything for a moment”
Alec wanted to let go. And he especially wanted to forget

Magnus arched an eyebrow. The man’s hurt was almost perfectly hidden. “What was that? Are you saying that you don’t want to?”
Alec licked his lips. “I do. Just… Not like usually.” How red was his face? “Softly.”
Understanding softened Magnus’ features beautifully. “I see.”

MALEC MONDAY MINI
There, on the last possible moment, Alec decided that he couldn’t leave things the way they were. “It’s not about you, okay? If I let down the guard and… I don’t know if I can control myself. And I can’t let myself be in a situation where I’m unable to control myself.”

Despite intending to talk they didn’t speak a word. Alec offered Magnus a pair of old jeans and a shirt. He looked away instinctively, blushing, as Magnus started to get undressed.
Magnus sounded amused and fond. “You’ve seen me naked before.”
“This is different.”

“We have… a past.” Hodge fidgeted. “Thank you, for not saying anything.”
Suddenly Alec was entirely too aware of the fact that they were alone. “I have no idea what I was even supposed to say.”
“Your family… Do they know?”

Magnus groaned “You don’t trust me, and I don’t trust you. That’s how this is going to be?”
“This isn’t some romance of the century” Alec hadn’t meant to sound bitter “We’re not a couple. Just two people who…”
“However you planned to finish that sentence, don’t.”

“I don’t know what to say right now”
Alec snorted. “That’s a first.”
Izzy sighed. “There’s a child involved, now. And you don’t even know what you are to each other. What are you going to do?”
Alec swallowed. It was time to stop lying to himself. “I have no idea”
#malecfic
Alec glared at the shadows around them. The walls he’d built to protect himself trembled and he loathed how exposed he’d been forced to be. “It’s not… She’s not something I want to talk about. Ever. So you and the press… You seriously have to stop pushing me.”

Magnus seemed to be on the verge of a panic attack “Can’t we just take this one day at a time? See how things go?”
Usually the other’s anxiety would’ve softened Alec. Now he barreled on “What if that’s not enough for me? It’s been such a long time. What if I want more?”

“What if she never accepts me? What if this is how it’s always going to be? How is… whatever we are supposed to continue then?” The tone was broken and miserable.
It took torturously long before there was a scarcely audible response. “I don’t know.”

“You can just throw this away immediately. I just…” Alec shrugged. “I wanted to thank you for my birthday party somehow. It meant a lot to me.” You’re starting to mean a lot to me and I don’t know how to handle it.

“Can we… drop this topic? For now?”
“Okay. For now.” Alec could only hope that Magnus would feel ready to open the topic again one day. “I know that we have our… arrangement.” The last word tasted bitter in his mouth. “But I want to be able to help you, too.”
#malecfic
#WIPWednesday
Magnus didn’t have the faintest idea what to say. It was unusual for him to be rendered so speechless. He sniffled, trembling from agony. “I… I need you to know that I cared about your son, deeply. And he cared about me, too…”
“Shut up, right now”, she hissed.

MALEC MONDAY MINI
It was ages since Alec was so determined and passionate about something. He didn’t feel anything like his usual self. Which was actually wonderful and welcomed. “I think I know something that could work. But I need you to trust me. Do you think you can do that?”

“What are you doing to me?” The voice shook pitiably, on the verge of breaking. Visible trembling accompanied it. “I know the deal we made but… Please say something.”
“Shh…” A hand caressed softly, soothingly. “You know that I wouldn’t hurt you. Try to relax.”

Alec lifted his chin. “You saw me at my worst. And you didn’t run, you supported me. Do you really imagine that this is going to make me run?”
Magnus shrugged. “People have run away for much less.”

Alec was silent for so long that Magnus’ mind drew several unpleasant conclusions. “Knowing what you know now… I wouldn’t blame you for never wanting anything to do with me again. If you’ve been hoping for a way out, this is it.”

“I’m just…” Magnus worked his jaw, his eyes on the sky above. “I’m done with disappointing everyone all the time. And I’m done with my life being a pathetic, bad joke.”
Alec remained silent for several long seconds. Then huffed. “How about that. We have something in common”
#malecfic

“And you?” Magnus slurred. “What do you want?”
The expression on Alec’s face suggested that the man had never been asked that by someone who wanted to know the honest answer. The other’s Adam’s apple moved restlessly. “I want you to punish me. I deserve to be punished.”
