My Love

The Brothers Grimm

There is a song, just swipe. The picture is of Magnus' engagement ring that Alec got him.

Alec POV

The first week wasn't so bad. Isabelle and I went from shop to shop to find the perfect ring for Magnus.

And it was the perfect ring for him, and it was stupid expensive. A huge diamond was inlaid in the top, circled by azure sapphires. The entire band of the ring was covered in diamonds, and blue sapphires we're on the side of the ring. It was perfect for him.

If only I could give it to him.

When the second week came, I was no longer distracted by finding the perfect ring. And so the onslaught of longing, sorrow and pain found me.

I longing I felt for Magnus was like nothing I had ever felt before. The need to have him was awful. It was like a physical pain. It was even worse when I left the loft, it would get so bad that I could not leave anymore.

Isabelle and Ace were here most of the time. To help with different things. They made sure I ate, and took a shower. Basic things that were a struggle to complete.

I wanted Magnus back. The physical ache I had for him never went away. I needed him. I needed some type of relief from the pain.

He did fire message me everyday. Sometimes more. I tried to be upbeat for him in the letters. He didn't need to be worried for me while he was out risking his life. Doing, only the Angel knows what.

"Come on, Alec. You need to eat" Isabelle told me. I know I needed to eat.

Currently I was wrapped around Magnus' pillow, wearing his comfortable clothes. Little things like sleeping on his side of the bed, and drinking that awfully sweet coffee that he likes, made me feel better.

"I miss him, Isabelle" I told her, knowing that there was nothing that she could do.

"I know Alec. But you still need to eat" she replied, saying everything that I knew she would. She always did.

"But it hurts to be without him" I complained. I curled further in on myself as a sharp pain pierce my abdomen. A whimper escaped my lips as the pain ricocheted through my body.

Isabelle rubbed my back as I sobbed. It hurt so bad. And sadly it was always like this. Isabelle had gotten used to seeing me being so pitiful.

I wished she hadn't. I was supposed to be her big brother and now I was a pathetic mess. But I couldn't help it.  The pain was immense.

"Alec" she said, once my form had stopped shaking because the piano dulled.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"I was thinking. What if it's a magical bond between you and Magnus making you feel this way?" Isabelle replied. I gave her a confused looked and she continued. "Well. When the two of you broke up the first time it made his magic go haywire, and you know, now he's super powerful. What if there is some magical bond that ties you together. Like "This ultrapowered warlock loves you, you love him" and boom there you go, you have a bond that painful when you are separated"

"That's, reasonable" I replied, thinking over it.

"I'm bringing you a friend over" she announced

"No" i whined, wincing at the prospect of seeing another person.

"I'm sorry, Alec but you need to interact with people who aren't me and Jace" she replied.

"I want to interact with Magnus" I replied, probably sounding like a child.
