"Why did he beat you, Alexander? Your records show that you were the perfect son" magnus asked
"Not perfect enough as he put it I had no major flaw" alec said and turned to magnus " you see I'm... I'm gay and I fell in love with my adoptive brother" alec stated
---
"He was adopted when I was 12. I relised I was in love with him when I 14. When father found out he lost it. Every night u would be bare backed and chained to the basement wall and whipped for every longing glance I shot his way. My brother never knew. No one really did. And I couldn't bring my self to tell them. So I hid my scars with my tattoos. There my runes against the dark force in my life that is my father" alex finished
"Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me this Alexander" magnus said and hugged him tight
"Thank you fro listening" alex mumbled
"I'll make sure to have you released by the end of the day" magnus said and alec pulled away from him
"DON'T! if I get out he'll come after me" alec said trembling in fear
"I promise he will not lay a single finger on you. I'll protect you" magnus said firmly and hesitantly alec nodded.

Magnus spent the whole day convincing the hospital board to discharge Alec and around night fall they did so he took him to his loft in up town Brooklyn
"So this is my place" magnus said opening the door to his loft.
"Its fancier than I imagined. It suits you" alec complimented
"Thank you? -I think " magnus said standing at the door and watching him till alec stopped walking around and kneeled down. Magnus stepped closer to him to see what he was doing he had a furry white cat in his arms and he was petting it gently.
"Well I'll be damned. Chairman meow does have a great taste after " magnus stated
"Ha? " alec said confused
"he barely let's anyone pet him except me and now of course you you don't know how many of my friends he scratched " magnus explained
"She wouldn't do that. Would you? " Alec said in a baby voice to the cat. Magnus smiled at him.

"You should get settled in. The guest room is ready for you" magnus chippered a moment later..
"I don't know how to thank you. I'm eternally grateful. I'll be out if your hair as soon as I'm able to. " alec said getting up and putting the cat on the couch where it stretched and curled up in a ball.
"No need, your welcome here for as long as you want"  magnus said smiling and walked to the kitchen.
Alec showered and changed before he joined magnus for dinner.
"Whats all this? " alec asked lookin at the amount of food on the table in awe.
"This is a thank you dinner" magnus said pulling out a chair for him and sitting him down. He then sat down next to him
"A thank you dinner?  Why are  you thank in me? It anything I should be the one thanking you " alec stated looking down at his plate
"I wanted to thank you for trusting me after a very short tine treating you" magnus said and alec smiled.
"Thank you for not judging me" alec replied
"Judging you? " magnus asked baffled
"Because I'm gay and fell for my brother. Because I could stop what my father was doing to me. I was week thank you for not judging me because I am a closet case. I appreciate that above all" alec finished

"Alexander your one of the strongest people I know. Bit many people have the strengths to go through what you went through. I dont deserve your gratitude. It nearly ruined my career when I came out. And my mom... Well my mother killed her self the night I told her ashamed of her self for giving birth to an abomination. but I know your strong you can get past anything if you set your mind to it" magnus finished
"So your gay? " alex asked
"Im bi. I thought that was obvious" magnus replied. Just then alec pulled him closed by the collar and kissed him with everything he got.
