The question about Mark had Alec looking a tad sheepish for once. "Ah-" The next second he was latching on to Izzy's other question. "Magnus said he wished he was, uh, dead and there wasn't anything I could do to help him. He pushed me away because he is depressed."
His fingers started to pick at the edge of his shirt. A tiny thread was starting to work its way free with his help.
"He said he didn't think he could be with me anymore...and then we didn't speak again until the other day when he said he wanted me back. I told him I needed time to think about it and he- I guess he got upset at me." The thread yanked free and a small hole was left in his shirt.
"And, uh, as for Mark...Mark Blackthorn, he is a Shadowhunter like us...andIguessmyboyfriend?" The words left him in a fast rush and he suddenly wanted the couch to swallow him whole.
