"He's still in the 'freaking out over finally being out of the closet' stage?" He didn't mean it to be hurtful. He was curious about how the other Alec reacted. At times he'd been afraid to be out with Magnus, terrified of what others would say. Then he'd realized it didn't matter what others said as long as his siblings supported him. "If we're similar, he'll get over it soon."

He hoped, at least. This Magnus didn't deserve to go through what his had. The thought still caused guilt to clench in his stomach but they had been working it out.

Noticing Magnus' reaction to the comment about his parents, he pulled their joined hands close so he could kiss Magnus' knuckles. Belatedly, Alec realized he wasn't the one who had the right to give that kind of affection, but decided apologizing would make it seem like he was rejecting him. "You didn't choose your father and you didn't choose to be a warlock. None of what happened when you were a child was your fault. He'll understand that too."

If that Alec didn't, he didn't deserve to be with Magnus.

Moving with Magnus, he scanned the area, considering how little information they had. He'd picked up a few, confusing details of the situation but not enough for Alec to understand where they were or how they'd gotten there. Unfortunately, Magnus didn't have his magic and Alec didn't have weapons or a stele. Not that it'd matter if their captors had his Magnus somewhere. He'd find a way to free him.

Shaking his head, he gave Magnus an odd, almost feral smile. "I don't, but anythings a weapon if you have the right motivation."
