Summary:

“But I didn’t know,” Alec insisted, clearly desperate to calm down but he couldn’t stop. “As soon as Jace told me he activated the Sword, my first thought was you. And I tried calling, called more times than I ever have, but you didn’t answer. I couldn’t help but think the worst. Now I know you were with Madzie, that you both got out, but I didn’t think of that. I couldn’t think of that. I could only think of finding you with the others, of having to pull you out and to hope it was a nightmare. I can’t stop seeing it Magnus, seeing you lying there and knowing there would be nothing I could do to bring you back-”

“Alexander,” Magnus interrupted, thumb wiping a tear that slid down his cheek, leaning forward and claiming his lips in another kiss, like how Alec kissed him, so full of need and love and it was enough to get Alec to stop and focus on him. Taking Alec’s hand, he trailed it up to his chest, Alec’s palm pressing right above his heart, feeling it beat steadily. “I’m alive, I’m here with you, I’m not going anywhere.”

Alec and Magnus recover after the attack on the Institute.
