Who am I? - A Malec Story

First

Hey guys,

This story was planned to be posted on Twitter (which I already did) to support the #SaveShadowhunters movement, that formed after FreeformTV canceled the show. So obviously it is based on the TV-Show and its plot, not on the books.

But that's also why the parts are very short, and the story itself is too.

Before we start, make sure to watch Shadowhunters Season 3 Episode 10 to avoid Spoilers.

To my german readers: I thought about translating this story and upload it in german, if I've got the time. Are you intrested in such a thing? Please tell me. And don't worry, I'll continue uploading the other story!

I guess that's all, have fun!

Gasping, Alec opened his eyes.

Where was he? What happened?

He let his gaze wander around the room and sighed as he recognized the nursery in the institute.

Sighing, he closed his eyes again. His head hurt like hell and he felt an aching in his chest right over his heart.

He tried to move his hand but felt something lying on it.

Alec opened his eyes again and looked down at his hand.

He saw Magnus’ head resting on his arm. Magnus seemed to be asleep. His hair was messy and he still wore the clothes he was wearing right before he portaled to Edom.

Since when had he been back?

Softly, Alec raised his other arm and ran his fingers through Magnus’ hair. It was as soft as always.

Magnus mumbled sleepily but shrugged back a few seconds later.

He stared at Alec in shock but relaxed as soon as he saw him.

“Thank god.”, he breathed and squeezed Alec’s hand which he was holding.

Alec smiled lightly at his boyfriend.

“Hey.”, he tried to say but all that escaped his throat was a raspy whisper.

Magnus smiled and stroke one hand over Alec’s cheek.

“How are you feeling?”, he asked lovingly.

Alec nodded.

“Ok, I guess.”, he answered still whispering.

Magnus grinned.

“I’m so glad you’re awake. I thought I’d lose you.”, he admitted happily.

Alec narrowed his eyes.

“Why would you do that?”, he asked.

Magnus raised his eyebrows.

“You almost died.”, he mumbled.

Alec could see the confusion in his gaze but he himself wasn’t less confused.

“Why would I do that?”, he renewed his question.

Magnus watched him concerned.

“The owl stabbed you with one of your arrows. Why … what do you remember?”, he asked worried.

Alec watched him in confusion.

“I ..”, he stuttered, but stopped.

What did he remember?

“You went to Edom and I got ready to kill …”, he summarized his memories when suddenly he gasped. “Jace! How is he?”, he breathed in shock.

Magnus smiled, kindly.

“He is alive.”, he answered. “Actually he’ll be very happy that you’ve woken up.”

Alec took a deep breath of relieve. That was good news.

“How long was I gone?”, he asked.

Magnus sighed and raised from his chair.

“Only a few hours. But you still have to rest. The wound in your chest hasn’t healed yet.”, he told him and let got of his hand.

Alec missed his warmth immediately.

“Where are you going?”, he pouted.

Magnus smiled softly at him.

“To tell the nurse and your family that you’re up. They’re waiting to see you.”, he grinned and leaned down to lightly kiss Alec.

Alec returned the kiss and grumbled unsatisfied as Magnus backed away.

Magnus grinned and touched his cheek lightly.

“I’ll go and tell them.”, he let Alec know and turned away to leave the room.
