City of Bones: Night Fever

[strongest_faith]

From the van to the infirmary, Alec remembers almost nothing. Scurried movements, mumbling voices.

He remembers Hodge, remembers the familiar touch of adamas to his skin. He doesn't remember moving to his room, but he knows he's in his own bed when the fire in his veins starts to burn through his skin and he begins to scream for his family.

He tries to scream, at least, but his voice sounds like a whisper to his fevered ears.

Alec doesn't quite fall asleep, but he dozes, jerking awake occasionally, gripping Magnus's wrist tighter, and then settling back into sleep.

He snores.

Just a little.

Alexander is getting better, but something must be troubling him. He isn't sleeping well.

Magnus isn't certain if it's an effect of the demon or if this is how he normally is.

The after-effects of the poison are still troubling him, but he hasn't been sleeping well since the incident with Clary. Throwing himself in front of Abaddon hadn't done anything to assuage his fear that she might say something, to Jace, to Hodge...anyone.

His body, though, is exhausted, and eventually, even the last fitfulness leaves him, and he sleeps.

Once the Shadowhunter falls asleep the warlock takes one beat before standing and leaving the room, and the handsome boy.
