Thank Yous should not be This Tiring (for [personal profile] magnus_bane)

 She wasn't supposed to be out of the Institute.  Technically, she wasn't supposed to be out of bed, but Alec was sure her family was being overprotective.  If she was careful and didn't overexert herself, she could make it to Brooklyn without aggravating her injuries.  Not that they were severe after Magnus had healed her.  

Which was the reason why she'd defied her family's orders to rest.  Magnus had spent the night healing her, keeping her company when she was terrified and sure that she was going to die.  He'd grounded her and made her feel safe despite the pain.  Then, when she was finally coherent enough to be able to think, he'd left her bedside, not saying a word before he leaving the Institute.

It's been frustrating since she'd wanted to thank him for what he'd done.  Magnus had shown her a kindness that she hadn't expected and he had no idea what it had meant to her.

The thought had worried at her until Alec had finally gotten out of bed, struggling to put on jeans and a sweater that was more black than gray, and slowly limped her way to Magnus' apartment building.  Leaning heavily on the wall near the buzzer, she pushed the button, impatiently waiting for Magnus to answer.

"I don't recall any direct assault on me other than verbal from your ancestors. You look nothing like them. Well... One, if you're from her." He was rambling a little, but he rarely thought about Nephilim and bloodlines and what they looked like. After he ran from Will and the others, he did his best to not pay too much attention to them.

When she commented on the 'crowd' he ran with he wanted to snort. The first thought was that people probably shouldn't have bothered with him. If it continued to be an issue, obviously the problem pointed to himself. "If you continue to feel as you do, lovely angel, I will agree with that deduction." Smiling lightly, he moved his head to catch her eye. "Deal?"

He felt a warm pleased sensation in his chest... that disappeared the instant Alec said no one would look for her. The thought that her parents wouldn't even seek her out made him unbelievably upset. Wrapping her up tightly into his arms, he kissed the side of her head. "If it makes you feel better... Alec... I would look for you."

Lifting a hand, he threaded it through her hair gently and lovingly. His eyes were half closed as he watched the silky raven locks slide through his slender fingers. "Then sleep... you do need rest." Pressing his face into Alec's hair, he continued to play with her hair as he drifted off.

"I'll take care of you. I promise."
