[Alec]
Hey, are you busy?

[Magnus]
I'm never busy when it comes to you, my dear Alexander. Is something wrong?

[Alec]
No, not really. I just had a not so enjoyable group chat conversation with Izzy, mum and dad

[Magnus]
Sounds wonderful

[Alec]
Quite the opposite actually. Anyways, my dad said something and I really think we should at least talk about it

[Magnus]
What did he say?

[Alec]
He mentioned your stepfather

[Magnus]
Oh

[Alec]
Look, I know that you don't want to talk about him or anything that has to do with your past, but I really have to ask you a important question that I need you to answer truthfully on

[Magnus]
Yeah

[Alec]
Did your stepfather really try to drown you in a bathtub?

[Magnus]
Yes

[Alec]
What? Magnus, that's terrible. Why have you never told me about this?

[Magnus]
It's not really a topic that I usually open up conversation with

[Alec]
How old were you?

[Magnus]
Ten years old

[Alec]
What about your mum? She must have done something, right?

[Magnus]
No, she did nothing. While I was fighting for my life, in that bathtub, my mother turned the other way

[Alec]
How could she do that? You're her son! She's supposed to protect you!

[Magnus]
I stopped being her son the exact moment she saw my real eyes for the first time. That's when she realised that she had given birth to a monster

[Alec]
Magnus, don't you ever say that again. You're absolutely not a monster

[Magnus]
I'm part demon, Alexander. When people see my eyes, they don't think that they're beautiful. No, they get scared and they run away in the opposite direction

[Alec]
I think they're beautiful

[Magnus]
I know you do ♡

[Alec]
Remember when you told me about how you found your mother dead by her own hand and how your stepfather reacted?

[Magnus]
Yes

[Alec]
You also told me that you burned him, remember?

[Magnus]
Yes

[Alec]
What happened after that? I mean, you were a ten years old kid without parents

[Magnus]
I moved to Spain where the Silent Brothers of Madrid took me in and raised me like one of their own

[Alec]
I didn't know that

[Magnus]
Well, now you do

[Alec]
Why have you never told me about anything of this before?

[Magnus]
Like I said when you asked that question the first time, it's not really a topic that you start off a conversation with

[Alec]
Magnus, you're my boyfriend and I want to know everything about you

[Magnus]
Trust me, you don't

[Alec]
But I do! Please!

[Magnus]
What else did you and your family talk about in the group chat, besides me being almost drowned to death?

[Alec]
My father threatened me and said that I could lose my position as the head of the New York institute

[Magnus]
What? Why?

[Alec]
Well, Idris and my father doesn't appreciate my relationship with you

[Magnus]
Of course they don't. You're a Shadowhunter and I'm a Warlock

[Alec]
It doesn't matter anyways though because I couldn't care less

[Magnus]
You should care, Alexander. This is about your position that you worked so damn hard on to receive

[Alec]
You're more important than a stupid title

[Magnus]
Alexander

[Alec]
No, I'm serious. If the people in Idris wants to take my position away from me, then fine. As long as I have you, I don't need anything else

[Magnus]
Are you sure about this?

[Alec]
Of course, I love you

[Magnus]
I love you too ♡

Hey guys😇 How are you all? I'm very sad because tomorrow will me and my family going to return back to Sweden, which sucks

I love you all so much and thanks for always supporting me❤️

STAY AWESOME
