Summary:
“I don’t know. I can’t do this. I just… I think you were right. I’m stopping you from-”
Magnus shushed the stubborn boy gently, scrubbing fiercely at his wet eyes, “You’re not stopping me from doing anything, Alec. I’m so sorry that I made you doubt yourself. I was hurt but that doesn’t excuse my actions.”
“But you were hurt because of me. I deserved every single thing you did afterwards… You were justified.”
The warlock smiled sardonically, “We both came from a place of hurt… Of love and self preservation. Maybe neither of us were fully justified but that just means that neither of us were wholly to blame… Alec, if I have to I will tell you that every single day.”
